appreciation of tho exhibition that was
furnished for Its entertainment by Dia

the shows that have been at the opera

thoroughly enjoyed than the one last
night. The specialties were highly pleas
ing and tho vocal selections were spark
ling and catchy and there were numer
ous encores. The traditional black first
part was full of amusement, among its
features being humorous remarks and a
number of entertaining solos. The wit
and brilliancy of the performance did
not permit of a single dull moment. The
olio of vaudeville performances was re
markably clever .—Johnstown, Pa., Demo

KCIIOCH of tho F.lection.
The Democrats of Luzerne won
nothing but county treasurer. They
could have captured the commissioners'
ofiiee, but too much single voting pro
vailed. Besides, the party refuses to
endorse the management of John T.
Lcnahan. He can bulldoze a conven
tion, but ho cannot do much with the
people at large.— Lansford Record.
The people of Pottsvillo decided that
they are not ready for the adoption of a
city form of government, tho project
having been defeated by a vote of 149.
Tho vote for city charter was 1,308
against 1,517.

of Weatherly, are pleased to hear of his

Cornelius McHugh, a miner residing
in Seek, Schuylkill county, who several
years ago was deprived of his sight, the
result of a promaturo explosion, has
gone to the Medico-Chirurgical hospital
in Philadelphia for treatment. Sinco
the accident Mr. McHugh has not seen I
a spark of daylight. Dr. Fox, tho
noted eye specialist, operated on him on
Tuesday. The left eye was entirely
destroyed and removed; tho right, how
ever, did not share tho same fate, and
since the operation Mr. McHugh is
gradually regaining his sight and Dr.
Fox is sanguine of its complete recovery.
Serious Accident Yesterday.
Joseph Ilinkle, Sr., of Upper Lehigh,
mot with an accident yesterday on
Butler hill which may prove fatal.

scious and has remained in that state
since. He was taken to his homo,
where everything possible has been done
to relieve his injuries, which consist of
deep cuts about tho head and face and
internal bruises. Ilis condition this
morning was very low. Owing to Mr.
Hinkle remaining unconscious, the facts
of the accident cannot be learned, as
iio oiii! was present when it occurred.
Gentlemen, for hats and caps go to A.

837 with a percentage of 80. The prin
cipal reported that the Tannery build
ing was almost destroyed by fire on
October 25, caused by defective stove
pipe.
The principal was instructed to see
that pupils of Hazle township attending
Drifton No. 2 school bo sent to their dis
trict, otherwise they will be required to

All teachers aro to be requested to
see that pupils from outside districts
attending their schools will in future be

The principal was given permission to

The board decided to open night
school at Highland. The substitute
teacher was elected to teach, the
regular teacher not desiring to perform
the duties.
The report of attendance of teachers
at county institute was received from
County Superintendent Hopper. The
toacliers were very attentive with two
exceptions, one not being in attendance,
while the other was expelled from in
stitute for a cause. The report was ac
cepted and the teachers are to bo paid
accordingly.
It was decided to exonerate August
Krauser, of Oley valley, from the pay
ment of school tax, his house and crops
having boon destroyed by fire recently.
A voto of thanks was tendered the
citizens of tho Tannery for their good
work in extinguishing the flames that

Lured Went by Big I'romiaeM.
The carload of Schuylkill county
miners who left about two weeks ago
for Montana likely believe by this time
that all is not gold that glitters. The
men wore employed by John Skeath.
formerly superintendent of Greenwood
colliery, Tauiaqua, and were promised
tiiat they would receive $2.75 from the
Bridger Coal Company.
According to the Billings, Montana,
Gazette, tho men arrived in that city on
last Tuesday. They were uiet by Uesse
Davis, president of the Western Federa
tion of Labor, who told them that there
was likely to bo some troublo at the
Bridger mine, as the minors employed
there were not receiving living wages
and that another cut was still to be
made. All the Schuylkill county men
belong to the Miners' Union and under
the circumstances refused to work. It
is not known whether tho men will re
turn East or not as it is not likely that
they have the funds to pay for transpor
tation.
Anthracite Coal Trade.
There is little change in tho anthra
cite coal trade except the dealers are
becoming more anxious to have their
orders filled before the close of the
month. The coal companies arc pro
ducing all the coal they can and yet
there seems enough to meet the demand.
Most of tho companies aro only taking
orders at tho October circular prices.
The scarcity of vessels continues and
tho rate to Boston remains high.
There is only a fair supply of anthra
cite coal in the New England yards and
an effort is being made to increase the
stock before cold weather sets in.
A jump of 25 cents a ton in price of
anthracite coal at Chicago is prodicted
with certainty by coal men, and tho
date for the advance is fixed at Decem
ber 1.
Comfort for Democrats.
If there aro any Democrats who re
fuse to be comforted on account of last
week's election, we invito them to
peruse our Monroe county exchanges.
Following are the votes cast in a few
districts of that Democratic Gibraltar:
East Stroudsburg, North district, 117 to
45; South, 123 to 58; Middle Smith field,
190 to 15; Hamilton North, KM) to 28;
Coolbaugh, 123 to 37; Eldred, 157 to 2;
Price, 17 to 1; Pocono, 148 to 24; Smith
field, 193 to 31; Stroud township, 138 to
43. The Republicans did not carry a
precinct in the county. Three Demo
cratic commissioners were elected.
STRIKERS SENT TO JAIL.
LACKAWANNA MINERS ARE CHARGED
WITH INCITING TO RIOT.
Armed neptitie* Surround the Mines t
<>1(1 Forge Hud Hustle the Men Oil'
to Prison in Default of Ball—The
Trouble May Spread.
The proverbial volcano edge is appli
cable in describing the situation at Old
Forge, where 1,400 miners are on strike,
and an attempt is being made by
Jermyn & Co. to resume operations with
the assistance of a squad of armed dep
uties, who have a lino of pickets sur
rounding No. 1. shaft.
Shots wore fired Thursday night and
during the earlier hours of Friday by
the deputies when groups of the strikers'
pickets were found in close proximity to
the mine. At 4 o'clock Friday morning
throe of the strikers wore surprised and
arrested on a hill top overlooking the
mine. They were charged with inciting
riot and intimidating workmen, and
Alderman Millar, of Scrantou, sent them
to jail in default of $1,500 bail each.
They gave their names as Jacob Mar
cinkovitz, Zohn Zapka and Anthony
Gipiuski. They admit that they stopped
workmen and turned thuin back, but
deny having used any violence or
threats.
Superintendent lOdward Jermyn, son
of. John Jermyn, the millionaire coal
operator and head of the firm of Jermyn
& Co., disguised himself as a miner and
at early dawn started across the field to
the mine. lie was held up by one of
the striker's pickets, Ludwig Leshinski,
and asked to turn back. When be re
fused the striker caught him by the arm
and began to argue with him. Young
Jermyn let go his fist and knocked the
striker to the grass. Three deputies
came up and arrested the stricken strik
er, and Alderman Millar later sent him
to jail in default of $1,500 bail.
The strikers have retained Attorney
John H. Bonner to prosecute three
deputies for housebreaking and point
ing firearms. It is alleged they went
out on a midnight hunt for Frank Ap
ple, a Polish strike leader, and by mis
take got into the house of Martin
Molinski, who alleged that he was held
up with a gun.
The New York, Susquehanna and
Western Railroad employes have prom
ised the strikers to refuse to handle cars
loaded at the Jermyn & Co. collieries,
so that ovon if the mines were started
the company will not be able to do any
business.
Twenty additional deputies went on
duty on Friday, and a casoof Winchest
er repeating rilies has been added to the
arsenal at the company's mine oflice.
Two more arrests were made on Sat
urday. Frank Apple and Martin Duffy,
on a charge of inciting a riot.

To give our patrons the biggest pos
sible values for their money, is the koy
of our great success. We are not satis
lied to stand still, but are forever forg
ing ahead, forever trying to make the

merchandise, and buying, as wo do, In
immense quantities, we are enabled to
sell clothing as cheap as the average
merchant can buy.
This season we have been more active
than ever. Our grand array of Clothing
for Men, Hoys and Children proves that
it Is the greatest assortment that has
ever been shown to the purchasing pub

farslghted enough to anticipate the ad

complaining about and placed our
orders much earlier than usual. We
can, therefore, sell clothing at the old
prices, or make you a suit or overcoat
cheaper than any other tailor in the
region.
