An Enthusiastic Audience Greeted the County Candidates and Speaker* Here on Saturday Evening— Addre**e* Deliv ered iu Foreigu Language*. Saturday night's Democratic mass meeting at the Grand opera house came up fully to the expectations of the local committee. Their intention was to make it the largest political indoor meet ing ever held In Freeland, and they suc ceeded. The spacious auditorium of •the opera house barely accommodated the people who came from the towns of the North Side to hear the questions of the day discussed from the Democratic standpoint, uud that the manner in which these questions were treated mot their approval was attested by the ap plause which greeted speakers and can didates. Chairman Frank Mcllugh, of Joddo, made the opening address. It was not lengthy, but it contained much for voters to consider. lie presented the reasons for the meeting in language well chosen for the purpose, and his remarks loft a favorable Impression. The following list of vice presidents of the meeting was road: Owen Fritzinger, John Tooiney, Wllo by Doudt, Peter Timony, Dr. E. W. Rut- j ter, Patrick Burke, John Bronnan, I Patrick McLaughlin,'Sr., John Schnee, ! Freeland. Patrick O'Brien, Adam Lesser, Upper Lehigh. . David Ilandlong, George Ripple, East Foster. • Bernard J. Carr, David Craig, Eckley. William O'Donnell, John Keller, Hazle Brook. Wiliam Sheeman, Pond Creek. Frank Burke, Sandy Valley. Neil Gallagher, Sandy fllun. Patrick O'Donnell, Theobald Wackley, ; Highland. Peter Iloekburg, John 11. O'Donnell, Drifton. Philip Breslin, Paul Dunleavy, Henry Coll, Jeddo. John H. Biglow, of Ilazleton, was in troduced as the first speaker by Chair man McHugh. He at once dove into the subject he had chosen, and in a short while had the audience enthusi astically applauding. His talk was for the greater part on state matters, show ing tho necessity of electing the Demo cratic state ticket if any real reform is to bo accomplished. Mr. Biglow severely scored the Republican party for failing to give the prosperity promised last year. He attacked tho system of political bossism which prevails iu this state, and called upon the citizens, rogardloss of party, to throw off the yoke of Uuayism by olecting a Democratic treasurer and auditor general. Anthony Molonski, of Plymouth, was the next speaker. He addressed the Polish citizens, quite a largo number of whom were present, and they welcomed his speech with much enthusiasm. Thomas R. Martin, candidate for dis trict attorney, next held the audience for over half an hour. The duties of the office to which he aspires, and the fact of the present incumbent being a candidato for re-election, prevented him from expressing his individual opinion of some of the matters which agitate Luzerne county at the present time. His address throughout was one of tho most courteous a candidate has ever delivered here; and those who came to criticise, expecting to hear him speak of tho Lattimer murders, as the Republi can newspapers had falsely predicted, were disappointed. Ills statement of why that was not a part of his cumpaign, from the fact that he expected to be the prosecutor for the commonwealth when the accused are brought to trial, was well received. He pledged himself to demand justice to its fullest extent, irrespective of the station in life, social prestige, creed or nation ality in that and all other cases which may come officially before him. lie ulso paid his respects to tho des picable methods which Interested per sons aro pursuing to accomplish the defeat of himself and colleagues. One of these is the attempt made last woek to bride the clergy of tho so-called for eigners to tiirow their influence against the Democratic ticket, at the same time naming one who was approached, Rev, Aust, of Hazleton, who was on tho stage. Mr. Murtin concluded by giving a brief outline of the duties of the impor tant office he seeks, and told the audi ence If they are satisfied with the pres ent tnauner of doing business to vote against him, inasmuch as lie intends, if elected, to conduct the affairs of tho po sition in strict accordance to law, to furnish speedy trials and to empty the jail of all Innocents who languish there through their inability to obtain a hear ing. His speech was a credit to him and won hiiu votes. By permission of the chairman, Rev. Aust was allowed to make an appeal to the audienco for funds to assist in pros ecuting the Lattimer murderers and for help for the Garwood widows and or phans. who are now in want. He repre sented the committee which bus been FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1897. formed to look after these matters, and stated where subscriptions could be J sent. Ho also addressed the Slavish and Hungarians in their languages. Adolph Rakercy, of Freeland, follow- I od with a Polish speech which caused intense enthusiasm among the people | who understood him. lie was repeatedly interrupted with cheers from his fellow j citizens and they pronounced it one of ; the best addresses that could be made. | Edward J. Lnych. candidate for clerk ; of the courts, was introduced next, and I received good applause for his brief re marks. Paul Dasch, candidate for pro j thonotary, followed. He was given a { welcome which might well be termed an ovation. Republicans and Democrats, independents and everybody else, assist ed in the greeting. The meeting was r. complete success and its effect is bound to be felt here on I election day. During the evoning the i St. Patrick's band rendered several selections. "Well, it's all right.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company : has decided to return to the use of hard • coal on its engines, says the Ilazletion j Sentinel. The company last winter | started to use soft coal, following in the ! wake of tho Reading Company. The I purpose lias always been a mystery to i the observing public. Tho work of I changing the grates in the engines to j accommodate the use of bituminous coal | and the expense attached thereto has ; been considerable. The soft coal was j found very difficult to keep up steam with, and on the hard runs, such as the ! Black Diamond, it was not adopted. At j tho same time the company as a large I producer as well as carrier of hard coal j in away detracted from the trade upon j which it depends almost entirely for its | profits. | The Jersey Central Inst week also an- I nounced that it too would return to the full use of anthracite. It is now In I I order for the other roads to follow suit. The Pennsylvania, which enjoys a big patronage in tho coal regions, and is a large producer also, uses soft coal ex clusively. For every ton of soft coal used, so much Is detracted from the production of the hard coal, and in pro portion the community from which that corporation Is deriving big profits on merchandise, freights and coal tonnage | gets nothing. The Lehigh Valley's return to the use lof anthracite is a commendable act. The new management would seem to at least | exhibit a desire to do what It can for the promotion of its own product and for the towns along its lino where anthracite coal is the means of livelihood for the people.

Moocy Drawer Robbed. Shortly after 10 o'clock on Saturday night a sneak ihief entered Geritz's con fectionery store on Front street and robbed the money drawer, obtaining be tween $8 and $9 in small change. Mr. Goiitz had left the storeroom for a few minutes to attend to some matters in tho bake-house, and Mrs. Geritz was sitting in a rear room in the house. During their absence from the store some one quietly entered, stepped behind the counter and tapped the till. Tho theft was not discovered until Mr. Geritz re turned and a cus.onier entered.

Double Tragedy In Monroe. Miss Cora Gress, ago 1 20. w.is shot and killed at Gouldsboro, Monroe county, on Wednesday afternoon. She was first shot in the head with a revolver, and as she fell her assailant emptied a charge of buckshot Into her prostrade body. The assailant of the young woman was her rejected lover, Chile Felker, aged 24. Felker's father was a half-breed In dian and his mother is a sister of Mrs. Randolph Gross, mother of the dead girl, lie met lind became enamored of his cousin, Cora Gross. lie frequently pro posed marriage to the girl, but was al ways rejected, as he had a wife and child in another part of tho county. Felker immediately disappeared, dis appearing into a heavy swamp near the scene of the murder. Tho farmers searched for him but failed to locate him. Early next morning it was learned that he killed himself with the shotgun which he carried. The top of his head was literally blown off. Felker, when he lied from the girl's j home, made for the Gouldsboro swamp. I and, It is supposed, spent the day in its recesses. During the night he make his way to the homo of his brother, at Sclota, ten miles away. About 5 o'clock in the morning a noise was heard close to tho brother's barn, and an Investiga tion as to the cause revealed the body of Chilo, who had just killed himself. In his shoe the following note was found: ''lf my aunt and her mother had not been so contrary 1 would not have killed tho girl. Bury me as cheap as possible. I have $lO at Gouldsboro.*' Monroe county people are agitated over the double tragedy. Shooting Affair at Conyngliiim, From the Hazleton Plain Speaker. William Stecker was brought in from Convngham to the hospital at 10.30 o'clock Friday night suffering from gun shot wounds in the hip and tho right arm. The man is not seriously Wounded, but the circumstances under which the shooting occurred aro interesting. Stocker, it Is claimed was trespassing on the property of Emerson Drum and refused to leave the premises when told to get out. Upon refusing to obey and showing a disposition to remain as long as it might please him, Drum, it is claimed, seized a ! gun and shot at tho intruder. The man fell to tho ground and began to yell. Soon a lot of farmers congregated at the place and it was decided that the hospi tal was the best place for tho victim. A telephone message from that insti tution states that ho fs getting along i nicely. The affair created some excite ment in the valley. Condition of tho Coal Trudo. From tho Philadelphia Ueconl. A canvass of tho statistical condition of the coal trade shows that it is fairly satisfactory. The stocks at discharging and distributing centres are not large, and at a number of important points, notably the Western lake markets, are below the normal. Up to October 1, 1897, the production for 1897 was ap proximately 28,275,000 tons, compared with 30,600.000 tons in round numbers for tho corresponding time in 181*6. a do crease of 2,355,000 tons. From October 1, 1890, to the end of that year the pro duction was 12,570,000 tons, or at the rate of about 4.200,000 tons per month for three months. If the output for 1897 equals that of 1896 the allied interests will have throe months in which to run out a tonnage of 14.<930,000 tons, or ap proximately 4,907,000 tons a month.
