The passenger train crews 011 the Jersey Central and its branches havo been notified that hereafter they must not sleep in the cars at the end of their routes and must not be in the cars except when on duty. This will be quite a hardship for some of the men, especially the brakemen and the baggagemasters, who do not get big pay. Their practice for a long time has been to carry their meals wnen away from home, make bunks of the seats in the passenger car and sleep there at night, this saving the expense of a bed at a hotel. Under the new rule they must find a place in which to eat their meals and must secure a room at night when away from home. Add this expense to that of a new uniform every year and railroadors must scratch to make ends meet. Quarterly Meeting: of I>. A. 10. District Assembly 16, Knights of Labor, which comprises all the local assemblies of the order in the Wyoming and Lackawanna regions, has been in session at Kingston this week. The Assembly now meets quarterly instead of semi-annually. This change was made in order to dispatch work with greater promptitude. Ninety-three delegates were in attendance. The question of ballot reform brought about a lengthy discussion which finally culminated in the adoption of a resolution endorsing the Australian system and pledging the support of the order to legislative candi dates who would go on record as favoring the system. The Knights will accept no other system unless it contains all the vital provisions of the Australian system. The committee on resolutions offered fraternal greeting to all labor organiza tions and called upon the mining craft to arouse, agitate, educate and organize. The secretary was instructed to corres pond with Secretary Noble of the Inte rior Department and get statistics on the number of mortgaged and unmortgaged farms in the west. The object of it is to find out who controls the land of the country. It was resolved to print and distribute gratuitously among the people, thousands of copies of the official organ of the order. In this way it is hoped to edu cate the people on the great labor ques tions of the day and how the Knights of Labor would remedy many of the evils complained of. The educational com mittee reported on a plan of campaign for the future. They recommended that lectures be given frequently by general and district lecturers. The secretary reported that within the last three months the membership of District Assembly 16 had increased 85 per cent. December 28 will be the 20th anniver sary of the foundation of the Order of Knights of Labor and it is proposed to celebrate the event in a becoming man ner. All local assemblies were requested to take immediate action in the matter. On Tuesday evening there was a pub lic meeting at which Rev. J. H. Amies of Scranton was the speaker. He deliv ered an eloquent address, taking for his subject "Ballot reform and Single Tax." Tne speaker said both these reforms would have to be inaugurated in this county soon or there would he trouble. Before single tax would come there must lie a secret ballot. The speaker said un less relief was afforded the laboring classes soon (and such relief could be secured by the adoption of the single tax) there would probably be a revolu tion in this country at a not far distant day. Foster TowiiKhlp Sued. The residents of the Five Points and South Heberton should hurry up and make application to get into the borough, for if a certain suit now pending against Foster township is decided in favor of the plaintiff, there is no telling how high next year's taxes will be. The trouble in question is the suit of Margaret Fin negan against the township for SSOOO damages, entered in the prothonotary's office on Tuesday. While driving across the bridge between Upper Lehigh and Soutli Heberton on the evening of Sep tember 16 the horse walked off the struc ture, throwing Mrs. Finnegan into the creek. She received a dislocation of the hip and other severe injuries which she claims have maimed her for life. As it was the duty of the township to provide all its bridges with side railings to pre vent accidents of this kind, and as the accident was due to the supervisor's negligence, Mrs. Finnegan wants SSOOO.

The series of eleven games between the New York and Brooklyn base bail clubs for the championship of the world came to an end Tuesday afternon by New York winning the ninth game played, the sixth won by that club. At the outset Brooklyn made a good show ing against the Giants, winning three of the first four played, but thev could not keep up the gait and New York is the proud possessor of the title. Coxe Bros. & Co.'s Rules Kill a Town. Speaking of Beaver Meadow's future prospects a correspondent in the Weath erly Ilerald savs: The opening of the new Evans colliery will, in all probability give our sleepy village another boom, however, all depends on who or what the new company will he. Give us a company like that of Coleraine or the old E. B. Ely company and Beaver Meadow's future will be a bright one. Give us one built oil the rules and prin ciples of Coxe Bros, at tliis and at other places, and our town will know hut little good of its existence. The Lehigh Val ley Company's engineers have been busily engaged all week surveying a route for a new railroad to the com pany's colliery. Coal is expected to be shipped from these mines inside of one year. Kxaminatlon La. Statistics. Ttie Wilkes-Barre Record lias complied an interesting table of statistics of the Third Inspection District, from which the following figures are taken: Of the 1348 miners who have already regis tered the nationality is as follows: English, 237; Welsh, 244; Irish, 284; American, 190; Austrinn, 183; German, 61; Polish, 50; Scotch, 48; Swedish, 20; Russian, 8; Danish, 3; Swiss, 2; French, 1; Italian, 1.

Of the number regis tered tiiere are 482 not naturalized and 479 who cannot write. The registration of the district is not yet complete. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1889. A SURVEY OF THE FIELD. With a Full Vote Democratic Success is Certain—Rumors of Republican Hoodie Buying: Votes. From the Sunday Newsdealer. We are now upon the last week of the political campaign. It is during this period that the campaign liar gets in his work and the boodler is prowling around on both sides seeking for financial food. Stories and false reports of all kinds are set afloat, and no sooner is one story hunted down and proven false than an other is originated to take its place. From present appearances there does not appear to be any reasonable doubt about the election of the entire Demo cratic ticket. It is a ticket Wn\t par ex cellence appeals strongly to the voters of all nationalities and creeds. The tide is in its favor, and intelligent observers give it as their judgment that it is invin cible. The Republican managers and leaders are thoroughly alarmed at the steady growth of good feeling that is ex pressed for it, and despairing of success by the honest vote of the people are planning to secure it in the only way possible, and that is by the wholesale purchase of votes. The fact that such methods are to be resorted to is the strongest proof of the weakness of their position. They fully recognize the fact that feeling, senti ment and public opinion is against them, and that on an honest vote they are hopelessly beaten by thousands. Their only hope lies in corrupting a sufficient number of the new foreign voters to turn the scale. Assessments have been levied upon the various corporations that have interests in this county and a sufficient fund has been raised to con summate their villianous schemes. The leaders of this corrupt and venal vote will be visited this coming week and a bargain will be struck for the votes of their fellow countrymen and thus does political debauchery go hand in hand with the party of great moral ideas. * * The stories that are circulated with reference to the candidates are as many as the sands of the sea. There is no truth or scarcely a basis of truth in any of them. They are the emination of the campaign liar pure and simple. No attention should be paid by the voter to any of those, for they will be placed in circulation by enemies of the Democratic party with the object of exciting hos tility in the party ranks. Vote the Democratic ticket from Shortz to Crock ett and your duty will be faithfully and well performed. We talked with a great many promi nent Republicans last week and they ex pressed themselves up through their boots like. There was some kind of fear there which didn't bode any good—for Republican success. About two weeks ago the Republicans swung around the nolitical circle with a very confident air. They wouldn't listen to anything touch ing on a possible defeat for Judge Rice. In their opinion Rice would be re-elected by no less than 1500 majority. But within the past two weeks the majority has dropped out of sight altogether and now nothing is talked about but the chances of the two candidates for judicial honors. The Republicans now, instead of claiming a big majority for their can didate, are willing to admit that there is a chance for Mr. Shortz. Some Republi cans make even greater concessions. They acknowledge openly that Judge Rice has opposition in bis own party but Mr. Shortz has none in his. Tnis being the case, then, it is within reason to sup pose that the Democratic candidate's chances of election are the best, and it is so figured out by the politicians on the other side of the political fence. Mr. Shortz is also gaining new friends daily and a week from now he will have a clear majority of the voters of the county on his side. Good-bye, Judge Rice. Honest Joe McGinty is ploughing his way to tho confidence and support of the people. The able manner he has conducted the affairs of that important office during the past three years is a telling point in his favor and one that is winning for him many votes. The un generous factional fight that has been engineered against him by some of his own nationality will attract to him thousands of votes from those who love fair play and decency in politics. True Irishmen everywhere, who deprecate bringing in factional and county lines, will not lend themselves to any scheme that tends to disrupt or impair unity and good feeling. It is a boomerang in the hands of those who make use of it and it will injure any cause in which it is used more than it will accomplish good. Mr. McGinty as the fair nominee of his party, as the well qualified and accomplished official deserves and should receive his party strength and support. Vote for Jos. McGinty for recorder on November 5. The voters of Wilkes-Barre owe a debt of thanks to lion. George J. Stegmaier for his magnificent labors in securing school consolidation for that city. For this and his untiring work in the inter est of labor in the last legislature they should on election day vote for him for sheriff and show a just appreciation of the services rendered in their behalf. No matter what their political belief may be he is entitled to the support of every voter. Cast your ballot for Geo. J. Stegmaier for sheriff and the office will be in safe and competent hands. * * Boh Robinson has not yet explained ! why he attempted to defeat Harry Euans, the Welsh candidate for commis sioner in 1887. Robert, of course, can not explain it, consequently the Welsh voters will on November 5 pay back in kind by voting against him for sheriff. Fairmount township is yawping to re ceive Mr. Robinson and lie should not delay the order of going, but go at once. He is a defeated man. *#* Vote for Dr. Pier for coroner and the office will be filled witli the same zealous care and fidelity that has characterized the present incumbent, Dr. Mahon. Dr. Pier is a regular physician of largo experience and practice, and such as lie should be called to fill it, and not a quack, as it is alleged his opponent is. There is nothing in the Republican claim that considerable opposition has developed against Candidate McGinty in the Fourth District. His majority will be larger than ever before. Reception to Eckley H. Coxe. Eckley B. Coxe arrived home from his European tour Monday evening and a reception in honor of the event was tendered him by his Drifton and Eckley employes. At the station he was met by those employed at his various col lieries and shops, also the P. O. S. of A., St. Patrick's, k. G. E., Freeland German and Eckley Bands, St. Ann's Pioneer Drum Corps, St. Ann's Cadets, St. Ann's and Union Sunday Schools. Upon ar riving at his residence addresses of wel come and speeches were made by John Wagner, James A. O'Donnell, Rev. M. J. Fallihee, Rev. Thos. Brehonv, Ih-v. P. J. Buxton, Chas. Orion Stroll, Esq., John I). Hayes, Esq., John Brady, P. M. Boyle and John J. Johnson. A song <.f welcome was sang by St. Ann's Sun day School. A gola-headed cane was presented from his employes and a gold pen from the Drifton Industrial School. Mr. Coxe responded to the addresses in a becoming style, and after selections were rendered by the bands the demon stration came to an end. Nearly seven thousand people witnessed the affair. Kev. M. J. Fallihee delivered the fol lowing address of welcome, which is published by request: It certainly gives me the greatest pleasure to be here on this occasion to manifest even in a small way the love, friendship and welcome we all have for the Hon. Mr. und Mrs. Coxe, who havo just returned from their much needed vacution. 1 need not say that it makes us happy to see our old friuuub and neighbors back again in Drifton, about to begin anew their charitable and benevolent works. I take this special privilege of calling them old friends and neighbors, because I have been acquainted with them nearly twenty years, and during all that time our friendship has been most cordial and without a break, and I feel confident it will continue so to the end. I know that the substitutes left by our old friends to carry on their charitable and good work have faithfully performed their duty, but we always feel more confidence in the old hands who planned and built up and have ran the machinery for many years, than in the new ones who have less ex perience. If we go into the battle-field to fight our enemies we like to havo the old and exper ienced general who has gained many victories in command over us. If wo sail on the broad ocean and the storm arises we feel greater con fidence in the old captain who has weathered the storms for many years than in the young man who is making his trial voyage. So it is even here in Drifton we like to seo the gentle man anu lady at the helm who began, built up and so successfully carried on for more than twenty years the charitable and benevolent work of the place. In fact, although we may be oil' the track, we think that the old hands arc the best, and that nothing will be done right if they are not there themselves. A story I heard will explain and exemplify more clearly what I mean. It is related that a certain wealthy man once thought he was going to die and of course go straight to Heaven, so he called his lawyers to his bedside and disposed of all his property, told those around him how many pounds of tobacco were to be smoked at his wake and how many gal lons of the mountain dow were to be consumed —those were tue good old times when wakes wore wakes in reality. Having managed everything satisfactorily for himself he sat up in bed and said : "It is useless for me to ex plain all these matters to you young men and to tell you what to do at my funeral, for I know that nothing will bo done right when I am not there myself-" I could say a great deal about the charitable and benevolent work performed by our friends here during the past twenty years, but the gentlemen on the com mittee only gave us three minutes time for our speeches. Perhaps they thought if they gave us our own time wo would be like a reverend gentleman I once heard of. He spoke übout two hours every time he got the opportunity and pitched straight into his cangregation while they remained before him. Towards the close of his sermon the sexton began to get a little uneasy and said to the reverend gentle man : "There is nobody in the church now but you and I, and I havo some important business to attend to so here is the key ami you can lock the church when you get through." Now 1 believe I was told to say something about the Sunday School. The members of the Sunday School must be attended to, should be properly instructed in their religious and civil duties, in fact we can not do too much for them in that way, because they are to be the future mem bers of our congregations and the future citi zens of this great and grand republic. The children are behaving themselves very well to-night, and their conduct is very praise worthy ; but if this yard was full of chestnut trees and the chestnuts in season I do not think I could give them so much praise for their 1 good conduct. There seems to be some sort of | natural attraction between children and chest- I nut trees which I will not undertake to explain J in a three-minute speech. I wish to say in eon i elusion that the St. Ann's Sunday School, the St. Ann's Cadet Society, which is a part of the ! Sunday School, and the St. Patrick's Cornet Hand, which was a part of the Sunday School a short time ago,'that they have all received so many gifts, presents ami ucts of kindness from our friends here, that to-night, with bright eyes, cheerful ami smiling laces and happy hearts, they have come down from the moun tains, up from the valleys and gathered in from all quarters, to show their love, respect ami gratitude to their kind benefactors. Teachers' District Institute. The second local institute for this year, composed of the teachers of Foster, | Dennison, Hear Creek and Hazle town ships, and the boroughs of White Haven, Jeddo, Hazleton, West Hazleton and Freeland, will be held in Freeland Opera House, Friday evening and Saturday, November 1 and 2. John I). Hayes, Esq., will deliver the address of welcome on Friday evening, to be followed by Supt. Cough 1 in, who will address the j directors ami parents. Supt. Fallon, of | Hazle. will also deliver a short address. I Saturday's exercises will consist of sev- I eral class drills by the teachers of the | surrounding schools. County Superin | tendent Coughlin, Prof. Harmon of Hazleton, Prof. Porter of White Haven, and Supt. Fallon of Hazle township will j address the teachers on educational \ topics. Over one hundred teachers are J expected to be present. Every director, parent and friend of the cause, are ' cordially invited to attend. This will I undoubtedly be the most interesting gathering of its kind ever held in this ! district.— Prog reus. Father MoFudden Released. DUBLIN, October 29. —Father Mc ! Fadden to-day pleaded guilty, at Mary j borough, to obstructing the police at the time of the murder of Police Inspector ! Martin, at (iweedor, in February last, and was liberated on bis own recogniz ance, the government assenting to this disposition of the case. Ten prisoners, j held on charges similar to those of Father j McFadden, pleaded likewise, and were , also allowed to go, sentence being post poned indefinitely. This result of the case is said to he due to the discovery by the government that the juries in the cases could not be relied upon to convict of murder. It was therefore made known to the prisoners that a plea of guilty of a miror offense would satisfy the prosecution.

The anthracite coal trade continues quiet, and there is nothing especially new in the condition to note this week. The Eastern and Western Anthracite Coat Sales Agents, at their meetings in New York last week, wisely decided to make no changes in the circular prices for November. The restriction of output continues, ami we understand that the producing interests have agreed to limit the production of anthracite in Novem ber to three million tons, if possible, which will be a curtailment of nearly three-quarters of a million tons compared with the corresponding month of last year. While the lessening of production since September 1 has not enabled the operators to advance the prices for coal, it lias materially assisted them in main taining the ruling prices and has pre vented any new or demoralizing cutting under the circular figures during the past two months. John Totty lias been appointed a spe cial agent of the Census Bureau, to assist j John 11. Jones in the collation and com ' pllation of the census of the production and distribution of anthracite. Mr. Totty, who has been identified with the anthracite coal interest in various capa . cities since 1805, having been 22 years ! with the Heading Company, is assistant to Mr. Jones, Chief of the Bureau of Anthracite Coal Statistics, to whom has been assigned the important duty of I collecting and compiling the hard and soft coal census of the United States. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending I October 19, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 986,935 tons, compared with 828,699 tons in the corres ponding week last year, a decrease of 158,2116 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1889 was 27,778,266 tons, compared with 30,- 230,664 tons for the same period last year, a decrease of 2,452,398 tons. — Lcdycr. A So ran ton Man Murdered. Jacob Soontag, aged 59 years, was murdered at his hotel in Scranton, at 10 o'clock Sunday night by three Hun garians. The men applied for drink at the hotel and when this was denied them they broke in the door. Soontag attempted to close the door against them and one of the men drew a dagger and stabbed him in the right breast, the blade piercing the lungs, lie died in fifteen minutes. Officers gave chase to the Hungarians, and after a hard run one of them was captured. A son of the murdered man identified him as the one who did the stabbing. I find Ideal Tooth Powder is without exception the best I havo 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 * .re So says Ferdinand E.
