Petty Tyranny.
At Eokley on Monday a funeral of one
of the residents took place, and, as is
customary, a number of the friends and
neighbors attended. Tuesday morning
upon going to their work over twenty of
those men were told that before they
could resume work it would be necessary
for them to report to the main office at
Drifton. Upon arriving there they went
to the general mining office, and after
going through a considerable amount of
red tape business, they obtained an
audience with the power behind the
throne, by whom they were informed
that they were guilty of deliberately
violating a rule of the company, in not
asking permission to attend the funeral.
As the laws and rules of the great firm
of C. B. & Co. are regarded more sacredly
(by the company) than those of God or
man, all violations are immediately
followed by chastisement, and the
miners were not surprised to hear the
sentence, "Stand suspended until next
Monday."
Several of those men had laborers
working for them, and they remained at
work loading all the cars that was to he
had? yet the miners have to remain idle
a whole week because they failed to give
the regulation notice. This, however, is
nothing now under Coxe Bros. & Co.,
but the reason of referring to it at present
is that some action may be taken on it,
not only by the Eckley employes, but
also by all the men employed through
out Coxe's domain. If such state of
alTairs is carried on much longer it will be
in order for the great philanthropist to
erect a crematory beside his massive
iron breaker, and then it will be entirely
unnecessary to attend funerals.
The men employed by this company
should get together and that without
delay, appoint a committee to wait on
Hon. E. B. Coxe when he arrives from
Europe next week, and lay their case
before him. This abuse of suspending
men could have been rectified long ago
had the men taken the propersteps, and
it is not yet too late to do so.
If a man is guilty of any crime or has
violated any rule, it would be far more
honorable to discharge him at once than
to stoop to the methods used by this
company in humiliating him—by having
him roam the streets for several weeks
brooding over the wrong, real or imagin
ary. inflicted on i'ii" i
that miners are dim- mi.Mited when Lb
operators parade their despotic p<>v r
before them at every rn "
A Class That NeeiU Watching.
I 11 nilgai;; is were arrested at
I n i >i ou; i Saturday, for swearing
la!. -■ Iy ? .re the miners' examining
board. On being taken before Squire
Johnson the offenders were held in S3OO
bonds for appearance at court. The
alleged perjury consisted of bringing to
the examining board filled applications,
sworn to before Justice McKeon of
Kingston township, declaring that they
were miners previous to the 9th of May.
This was shown to be untrue, as some of
them were not in the employ of the
company stated at the time and none of
them can speak a word of English. It is
said that this is the first prosecution
instituted under the new law and the
outcome of it will be watched with in
terest by honest and capable miners
everywhere.

WOItKINCiMKN, STAND I IHM !
Une tlie Itallot to the llest Advantage on
Klection Day—Do Not Defeat
Your .Sincere Friends.
In the following article, which is taken
from the Nanticoke Sun , the attention
of the workingmen of this county it
called to the power they hold for doine
good or evil in the next election. Read
it and reflect upon it before voting on
November 5:
Every laboring man in Luzerne Coun
ty, no matter what his affiliations may
be, serious or politically, or whether he
is connected with a labor organization or
not, will with us that Terrence V.
Powderly is a fearless, outspoken cham
pion of the poor and a man whose ad
vise to his followers is always wise and
candid. And after repeated failures in
many methods of redress, after the col
lapse of numberless strikes and upris
ings of a similar character, Powderly
has spoken upon the subject of the
toiler's grievance and his true redress.
He says away with strikes, away with
mobs, violence and all their mistaken
philosophies. He gives the working
man a stronger weapon. "You have a
ballot—a vote —use it as a sword of fire
to strike at all your wrongs. The ballot
is the freeman's sword in a free land.
Let him use it well and his foes shall
fall before him."
The soldier who fears to lift his sword
against* his foe is a coward, and the
workingman who uses his ballot falsely
to his own weal is a traitor to his home
ami kindred and the generations that
are yet unborn to suffer hunger, poverty
and distress. Workingmen should vote
for their friends and against their ene
mies, no matter how the timbers of
political parties may totter. We do not
say these things now to inflame men's
minds in the heat of a campaign, but
only to tell such truths as an honest
journal should speak in all seasons. If
the men of toil had not been so blind to
their own interests in the past their con
dition would be better to-day than they
have ever dreamed it could be. They
are cursed because they have voted into
office, again and again, men who have
compassed them with villianous laws —
laws that added to the rich man's store
and constantly took something from the
pitiful pittance <>f the
true, men of toil . Win. mong von will
stand forth to gainsay the truth of one
single word of all we say?
Very well, then And now will you
vote for Charles L Pice'.' Has he been
voui steadfast fi end? Does the Mine
. ... this (Nanticoke)
district suit you? Is it, the board,
recommended by organized labor?
Name one poor man that he has ever
appointed to office.
Will you vote against George Steg
maier, who, in the last legislature, ac
cording to the testimony of Representa
tives Caffery, Williams and Davis,
Senator Ilines and all his colleagues,
also the chairman of the K. of L. legis
lative committee, who say that he was
an uncompromising and vigilent friend
of every labor bill that came up for
passage ?
Will you vote against Joe McGinty,
the trusted Knight of Labor, the Eber
vale miner? McGinty, whom you sent
to your conventions and who has never
yet betrayed you? He is your own—
vote against him if you will.
Come, workingmen, it is time to be
honest, time to be true to your friends.
Let the politician go to the rear. By
bis deeds shall a man be known. You
know your men. Do not be ungrateful
to them. See that their names are on
your ballots next election day.
Futlier Matliew Celebrations.
Thursday was a bright and beautiful
day and the C. T. A. societies of the
Scranton Union celebrated the ninety
ninth anniversary of Father Mathew's
birth in a most befitting manner. The
parade of the first district at White
Haven was attended by all the societies
of Lower Luzerne, and over 1200 men
and boys took part in it. The several
organizations had their ranks well tilled
and made a very creditable display. In
the afternoon a picnic was held at Trim
mer's Grove.
The second district paraded at Pittston,
and the third and fourth joined forces
at Scranton. At Plymouth and Pleasant
Valley commemorative parades of the
first anniversary of the Mud Run disas
ter were held. At Pleasant Valley,
where 34 of the victims lived, the ser
vices were very imposing. Business was
suspended, stores and dwellings being
draped in mourning. High Mass was
held at St. Mary's Church in the morn
ing. At the cemetery prayers were
| offered for the souls of the dead, and the
| graves were decorated. There were
! nearly 4000 persons present.
Assessors Want Pity.
In court on Saturday two suits were
commenced against Luzerne County of 1
a peculiar nature. In one Thomas ().
Kvans, assessor of Nanticoke, is the
plaintiff, and in the other Messrs. Dilley
Sturdevant and Quick, assessors of
Wilkes-Barrc, are the plaintiffs. In
both cases the cause of action is the
same. The plaintiffs claim that under j
the law they are entitled to three cents
: per name for every name on the assess- ;
i ment list handed in by them to the
; county commissioners. Evans, who
handed in 2,432 names, claims $72.90, j
! and the Wilkes-Barre assessors, who
i handed in 12,032 names, claim $300.90. j
' They state that they have asked the j
commissioners for the money but could
i not get any.

In the prothonotary's office, on Satur
| day, Hugh Elliott commenced suit
| against George Hadesty for SSOOO dam
| ages for slander. His affidavit states
that on October 6, in Foster township,

Murder at Weatherly.
Saturday morning the town of Weath
erly was the scene of an atrocious mur
der, the victim of which was Sabilla
Walbert, wife of A. A. Walbert, who is
employed in the railroad shops at that
place. The man accused of the murder
is William Stangley, a young man about
26 years, who for some time has been
boarding at Walbert's residence.
Mrs. Walbert was about 35 years of
age and was the mother of several chil
dren. Saturday morning everyting was
all right, and the husband noticed noth
ing unusual. After breakfast he kissed
his wife and went to his work. Soon i
after the children left the house and the j
wife and boarder were alone.
The details of the occurrence mil
probably never b(; known, unless Stang
ley makes a confession of his crime, j
When one of the children returned
shortly before noon she found a quan- 1
tity of blood upon the kitchen floor. A j
further examination brought the child j
to the body of her mother lying dead !
upstairs. She had been shot through :
the body, and the sight that presented j
itself to the little girl was an awful one. ;
She ran out in the wildest alarm and at j
the same time her father came home, j
It needed but a slight investigation to j
make the fact apparent that the boarder |
i was the party who did the shooting. '
! lie could not be found in the town and \
| officers were put on his trail. It was
learned at Black Creek Junction that he !
I had boarded a train there that morning.
| Telegrams were at once sent to all the i
I stations down the line and in the after- |
' noon he was arrested at Slatington, I
| and taken to Weatherly for a hearing, j
He was afterwards removed to Maueh j
j Chunk jail to await trial,
i Three weeks ago Stanglev quarreled j
• with the woman and threatened to kill ;
| her. She had him arrested, but the i
| case was settled between them. It is i
j thought that this trouble was the cause !
I of the deed.
An Important DeciHion.
I At Maueh Chunk last week a decision
i was handed down by Judge Dreher
j which may prove of inter .-i to boroughs
which lev) a tax or license upo . huck
sters farmers, The borough of
Lansford passed such an ordinance* and
Samuel Brode, a huckster, refused to
paj the licen m . in >rder that a test could j
ue made ol its legality. The case was
taken t > ait and the judge handed
I down an opinion declaring said ordi- !
nance invalid and void on the ground
that the borough could not discriminate i
between the resident and non-resident j
huckster or farmer. The judge said :
"The general borough law of April 3, |
1851, empowers the borough authorities ;
! by ordinance to impose a license fee or '
tax upon hawkers, peddlers, butchers |
and hucksters, but a clause excepting all
i citizens of the borough from the opera- j
tions of such ordinance will make the ;
ordinance void because of diserimina- i
tiou."
The borough pays all the costs con
nected with the case, and will probably j
have to refund all the money collected j
under this ordinance. Boroughs which i
have discriminating laws had better not
, enforce them.
Hull or the Young Men's .Society.
The ball given by the Young Men's |
T. A. B. Society last Thursday evening :
surpassed all expectations of the man
agement and exceeded anything of this j
character ever held in the opera house, j
Although arrangements had been pro- j
vided for a large attendance, it was .
, found that there was a deficiency in |
l some respects, particularly in that of the !
handsome programmes, the supply of j
which was exhausted early in the even
ing. At 11 o'clock 544 admission tickets j
had been sold at the door and by mid-1
night there were fully 1300 people scat- |
tered through the ball-room and galleries, j
The manner in which this number of |
people were cared for is creditable to the j
various committees and managers. The .
grand march took place at 0.30 o'clock I
and was led by Master of Ceremonies ;
Edward Doggett and Miss Ella Mc-1
j Laughlin. One hundred and twenty- !
three couples followed the leaders j
through the various evolutions and intri- .
cacies of the march.
During the intermission the drawing j
for a gold watch or SSO in gold took place,
and was won by ticket No. 1852, held by |
I)avid Hanlon, Sr., of Freelantl.
A JudKiiicnt Against u Lodge.
j A case of considerable interest to all
benevolent and secret societies was do-!
cided at Beading this week. Jacob I
Bright died recently after having been a j
member of Montgomery Lodge of Odd |
Fellows for 40 years, during which he i
paid $250 and never drew sick benefits.
| The charter of the lodge calls for SIOO !
funeral benefits. Bright died without
leaving a widow or children. He had j
been living with a niece. The lodge '
contended that while under ordinary
circumstances SIOO funeral benefits are
paid for a deceased member, they were
not required, under the constitution and
by-laws of the society, to pay any funeral
benefits in this case, as such benefits are
to be paid only to the widow, children,
| or "dependent relatives" of the deceased.
The lodge alleged that the niece was not
' dependent on the deceased. Bright's
! funeral cost sll7, and towards this the
•; lodge contributed SO7. Suit was then
brought to recover the balance, $33.
i ; The lodge resisted the claim on princi
ple. Judgment was entered against the
lodge for $33 claimed.

Weekly Coal lleport.
The improvement in the anthracite
coal trade continues. There has been a
much better demand for coal during the
past week than in any previous week
for months past, and many new orders
j for coal have been received by the local
| operators and shippers. Some of the j
individual operators are "fully sold up" j
for this month, and all their output of
| coal during October will go to fill orders
already booked. Prices, too, are repor
ted generally firmer, and some parties j
claim to be now obtaining full circular
1 figures for their coal of good quality.
I The newly mined coal is now being
marketed more freely and the distri
i but ion is being made over a greater area.
There has been much complaint of the
j scarcity of cars by the individual opera- j
| tors, who contend that they are not:
I being treated fairly by the carrying j
j companies who are also producers of !
anthracite. In response to an inquiry
! on this subject, we are informed by an
| official of one of the largest anthracite
! mining and transporting companies in
i this city that the alleged scarcity of cars
; is due to the fact that the distribution of
| anthracite via all rail has been greater
| this year than ever before ami that it is
likely to increase, and consequently the
I cars cannot be used to the same advan
i tage as heretofore.
The Chicago correspondent of the New
York Coal Trade Journal says: "In
! reviewing the state of the anthracite
I coal market at this centre there is
} nothing startling to mention. Themove
| ment of business is steady in response to
a fairly active demand from all parts of
j the tributary territory, and, in view of
unmistakable signs, one comes to the
conclusion that there is still a largo
quantity of anthracite required both for
this month and for some time in the
future. (Juite a number of orders and
| inquiries are heard of which surely
| denote that the market will result in a
j healthy and absolute growth in the
regular increased consumption of anthra
i cite in the West. The Western trade is
: certainly making strides this year that
will undoubtedly be realized during the
1 winter. There are undoubtedly numer
ous places where a decline in the con
sumption of this coal has taken place
compared with past seasons; on the
j other hand it is growing rapidly in favor
i and use in other localities, particularly
; in the large cities as well as in the many
j enterprising cities of moderate popula
tion that are scattered over the great
1 Western country."
j The total amount of anthracite coal
I sent to market for the week ending
October 5, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 712,930 tons,
compared with 852,899 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, a decrease of
139,969 tons. The total amount of an
thracite rained thus far in the year 1889
was 2(5,065,581 tons, compared with 28,-
121,584 tons for the same period last year,
a decrease of 2,056,003 tons. — Ledger.
I find Ideal Tooth Powder is without
exception the best I have ever used.
With its aid I keep my teeth very clean
and white, which I was unable to do
with any other powder I have ever tried
before. So says Ferdinand E. Chartard,
Baltimore, Md.
By the way, will you buy and use Ideal
Tooth Powder ? We can thoroughly rec
ommend it. R. E. Nichols, Dentist, Sa
lina, Kansas, says, Ideal Tooth Powder
is in my estimation, just what its name
indicates. An engraving 20x24 is given
with each two bottles. Price 25 cents
per bottle.
