LARGE LABOR MEETING.
Men of National Fame Delivered Strong
A<l<li-*hkuh Here Flint Night.
An enthusiastic mass meeting of the
miners of the North Side was held in
Yannes' opera house last night. The
meeting was addressed by Samuel Gom
pers, president of the American Federa
tion of Labor; P. J. McGuire, secretary
Carpenters' Union; George Chance, of
the Typographical Union, and John
Fuhy, general organizer of the United
Mine Workers. President Gompers'
speech was a strong enunciation of the
benefits of organized labor, and the!
strong points of his discourse were
cheered with fervor, lie referred briefly
to tlie cause that led up to the Lattimer
-hooting, and denounced the conduct of
Sheriff Martin and his deputies in its
strongest language. He also promised
that the indicted men would feel the
power of the Federation in the prosecu
tions. Mr. Gompers was unwell and
had to retire early.
The speech of the evening was Mr.
McGulre's. He kept the meeting in an
enthusiastic condition, and the audience,
which filled the big building, greeted his
remarks with vigor. Mr. Chance gave
some inside history of the labor legisla
tion of the past year, and Organizer
Fahy enlightened those who were anx
ious to learn of the benefits of the Mine
Workers.
The St. Patrick's cornet band dis
coursed music at the meeeing. It was
the largest labor rally held on tlie
North Side in years.
The Anthracite Cottl Trade.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
An exceptionally mild autumn and
distrust of present methods of manage
ment have combined to make tho an
thracite coal trade dull and uncertain.
Everywhere the rotail demand is light,
and everywhere confidence is lacking in
the future of tlie business. It is now
generally conceded that two groat mis
takes have been made by the trade man
agers: First, that the consumption lias
been overestimated, an insufficient allow
ance. having been made for the displace
ment of anthracite by low-priced bitum
inous, and for the necessity of economiz
ing, owing to the business depression,
and second, tho large overproduction in
July and August, following an unwise
advance in prices.
As the October output will be large,
and as tho companies are understood to
have agreed to push the production in
November and December, so as to make
good earnings statements for the year,
confidence in prices is entirely lacking.
Slierill' and Deputies Indicted.
Indictments were on Thursday return
ed by tlie grand jury against Sheriff
Martin and his deputies for the Lattimer
shooting. There is 0110 true bill for
each man killed, and one for the victims
considered collectively, and these bills all
charge murder. Thirty-six true bills
were found in tlie same way for felon
ious wounding against the same defen
dants. It. is understood that from this
tho defendants can claim separate trials
or can elect to be tried together. It is
likely that Sheriff Martin and his depu
ties will elect to stand together. There
is some talk that the indicted men will
ask that they be tried in some other
county.
There is no question but that the pros
ecution will be pushed vigorously.
Every effort will be made to have a
proper verdict rendered and have the
punishment fit the crime.
Vote Tomorrow and Vote Kiglit.
Tomorrow every qualified voter is ex
pected to do his duty by going to tlie
polls andyoting for tlie candidate of his
choice. Every voter, not physically dis
abled, should do this, his duty. Every
Democrat in this county ought to go to
the polls and vote tomorrow, casting his
ballot, of course, for the party candi
dates. Then in addition, lie out to see
that not a Democratic voter in his dis
trict falls to get to tlie polls. Show
whatyou can do when you are in earnest,
and tlie result will be the election of tlie
entire Democratic ticket. It can be
done.
An Invitation from I'ottHville.
L. Olsho, who until recently was one of
Freeland's business men, extends an in
vitation to all persons of this vicinity
who may he in Pottsville at any time to
call at his place of business in that

or not, can make themselves at home

which he was treated while here, and

return the courtesy to all who may visit

VICTORY IS IN SIGHT.
Democrats Will Triumph in Luzerne To
morrow If the Vote It* Foiled.
The campaign is closed. The voters
of Luzerne, are about to record their
opinion's at tlie polls. From tlie outset
of the canvass the Republicans have
been alarmed. And with good reason.
They knew, in tlie first place, that their
party would suffer this year because of
the broken pledges of its leaders. It
will be readily recalled what promises
they made last year in behalf of Mc-
Kinley. They told the workingmeri
especially, that Ills election would be
rapidly followed by good times, steady
work and higher wages. They faith
fully promised all these things in the
event of McKlnley's election.
Well, McKinley was elected and what
followed? He, at the command of Mark
Uatma and other millioniare monopolists,
called congress together in special
session to pass a tariff bill which greatly j
enriched the fat trusts and speculative
corporations and doubled the cost of
living to the poor man.
Did the good times come? Have tho
miners hotter wages? Not much. All
that has been done by the McKinley
administration, so far, has been done to
make the rich, richer, and the poor,
poorer. Those are facts which every
man in this section of Pennsylvania
fully understands.
Again. The renominatlon of Fell and
Llewellyn was a bad thing for tlie Re
publicans in Luzerne. There were men
as fully as deserving who asked for the
nominations, but who were turned down
in favor of the second termors. The re
sult was that hundreds of honest Repub
licans turned away in disgust and have
shown no concern in what might result
to their party in this battle.
The voters of Freoland know the
qualifications and manly virtues of the
Democratic candidates. They have
been working for tlie principles they
represent from tlie day they were nomi
nated. Enthusiastic meetings have been
held and evidouce has-not been lacking
that the Democratic spirit is thoroughly
aroused throughout the county. Demo
cratic victory is in the air if the vote is
gotten out.
Apathy has seized upon the Republi
cans. They have not held a single j
meeting during the whole campaign. I
They dared not, because they felt as- j
surod that tlie apathy referred to would I
be revealed in a universal desertion at
such meetings. The Republican leaders ■
are not only downcast but terribly alarm- j
ed. They know their cause this time is I
not a good one. They realize the |
honesty and justice that have character- !
ized the labors of the Democrats this j
year and tlioy feel that the people are j
against the Republican machine.
It is well for Democrats to be on their j
guard and put no faith in election day
rumors. No doubt such will be circu
lated, as the enemy is desperate and will
stop at nothing to turn the tide of
Democratic enthusiasm aside. Rut the
Democrats are sure winners if they
stand together and see that the full
party strength is polled.
Dcatli of Henry (jieorge.
Henry George, author of "Progress
and Poverty" and candidate of the Jef
ferson Democracy for mayor of New
York city, died at 4.50 o'clock on Friday
morning, of cerebral apoplexy. The I
end was peaceful, and ho died without
pain. Tiiis man of mighty brain and
undaunted courage was physically frail,
and tlie strain of an exciting campaign, j
requiring speech-making at points many 1
miles apart, night after night, was more j
than ho could stand. He kept up to the ,
end. and only a few hours before the
dread messenger cried halt, Henry |
George had addressed several enthusias-1
tic audiences at different points in
Greater New York.
Mr. George died fighting for the nob
lest cause for which man can die—tho
cause of humanity. His doctrines and
liis teachings, as he gave them to the ■
world in Ids famous book, will live for- i
ever. Tho great social struggle for the I
emancipation of man will continue, and j
some timo in the future, when "equal j
rights for all and special privileges for ;
none" shall become tho basic principle
of every civilized government, his true
worth will lie recognized and history
will accord liini his proper place among
the real benefactors of mankind.
Mr. George was known personally to
many Freoland people, and tho single
tax theory, which he so ably developed
and successfully defended, lias hosts of
advocates in this section. In 1880 lie
delivered a public address under the
auspices of tlie Knights of Labor at
Donop's hall.

! RELIC OF A BIG NIGHT.
ALDERMAN DONOHUE'S HAT CLEARED
THE TITLE TO A FORTUNE.
Celebrated Cleveland's First Election
wltli a New Silk Tile— Usui a Memo
randum of Marriuge Inside aud Tills
Established a Widow's Claim.
A silk hat, crushed and battered by
rejoicing Democrats on the night of
November 7. 1884. when (Jrover Cleve
land was first elected president of the
United States, has just proved the
means of giving to a despairing widow a
snug fortune and proving that she was
legally married. The hut is the property
of famous Alderman Donohue, of NViikes
barre, and its story is an interesting
one.
Donohue was one of the most enthusi
astic of Cleveland supporters during his
first presidential campaign. On election
day in 1884 Donohue was busy around
the polls, and so well did he do his work
that he won a fine silk hat on the big
Cleveland vote polled in his ward, and
in all'the glory of this hat he waited
around town for the returns from all
over the country. Cleveland
MAJORITIES CAME PILING IN,
the squire celebrating the receipt of
each one in the approved manner.
In the midst or the glad news Dono
hue was hastily summoned to the Bris
tol House to marry George Bounds and
Miss Mary Rogers, who had just reached
town. Eager to get hack to the bulletin
boards, the squirt! galloped through the
cermony, kissed the bride, and, having
no paper, hastily made a note of the
marriage in the white silk lining of his
now hat, promising to send a marriage
license to the happy couple the next day.
Among the incidents of that night of
jollity of which the squire iias no clear
recollection must have boon a heated ar
gument. At any rate, when he arrived
homo in the morning the
IIAT WAS NO LONGER SIIINY
and bright. It looked very much as if
it bad been through a foot hall game,
and Mrs. Donohue, after removing it
Willi soiiio effort from liege lord's head,
stowed it away in the depths of a dark
and musty closet.
A year ago Donohue received a letter
from a Mrs. George Bounds, of Montana,
stating that her husband had been killed
on the railroad where he was employed
as a brake men: that lie was a member
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, and that before she could get the
amount of the Insurance carried by her
husband in the lodge she must produce
her marriage certificate. She asked
Donohue to forward the long-delayed
paper.
The alderman examined ids buoks and
found no record of any such marriage,
and replied to that effect. Then Mrs.
Rounds came on to Wllkcsbarre and re
called the circumstances of the case, but
Donohue
COL LI) REMEMBER .NOTHING
of the night except that Cleveland was
elected. The widow returned to Mon
tana in despair.
Now comes the hat once more. About
six weeks ago Mrs. Donohue, 111 clean
ing house, ransacked 1111 old closet and
discovered an old and battered silk hat.
the same one put away there some
thirteen years before. She dusted it and
accidentally saw the writing 011 the lin
ing. legible and distinct. Then the
alderman remembered, and the next day
the hat and the marriage certificate
started westward.
Donohue received a letter a few days
since from the grateful Mrs. Bounds,
saying the court had accepted tho evi
dence thus stranglv tendered, and had
docided 111 her favor.
SIOO Itewnrd, SIOO.
TITcT readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in ail its stages and that is
catarrh. Hall's catarrh cure is the onlv
positive euro now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
