A DEMOCRATIC NIGHT.
LARGE GATHERING OF VOTERS AT
THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
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, !

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

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.

WILL USE HARD COAL.
Tho Drhigli Valley Railroad Company
Goes hack to Anthracite.
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.

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.
