Wonder If He
Saw This?
lie was immured in the darkest dungeon
beneath the castle moat.
"If 1 had a saw, a tile, anything—" he
moaned, as lie looked at the solid bars across
the solitary window.
Then a thought struck him. His lace
brightened, like a Cripple Creek conflagration.
Ituuidly running over his supply of collars,
which had just come from the laundry, he
selected one fitted to his purpose.
Five minutes later the great middle bar of
the window, dexterously severed by the saw
like edge of the laundered collar, fell apurt.
He Was Free.
If he had lmd his collars laundered at the
FreelandSteam Laundry he would be in jail
yet. Wo have a device for ironing the top
edge of collars and cull's and return them to
you with a perfectly smooth edge. Try us.

RESUME WORK
ON MONDAY
Union Officials Have Ended
the Big Strike.
Mine Workers Advised to
Make Demands at Once
Upon Operators to Com
ply With Pay Law.
President Mitchell last evening issued
the expected order which declares off
the strike in the .anthracite coal region.
Monday next is the day set for the order
to take effect.
The announcement that a sufficient
number of operators have complied with
the demands of the Seranton convention
to warrant the union officials ending the
strike was received with unbounded en
thusiasm throughout the coal (inlds.
Those operators who have not yot
fallen in lino are expected to do so
before Monday, otherwise the battle will
be transferred from the United Mine
Workers to the American Federation of
Labor, which will fight tho dissenters
with all the financial and other re
sources at its command.
Tho operators who up to last night
had not complied with the demands of
the strikers were as follows: Sus
quehanna Coal Company, Wyoming
valley; William Penn Mine, Schuylkill
county; Summit Branch Company, Ly
kens district; Mineral Mining Company,
Shatnokin district; Union Coal Company,
Mt. Carrael; G. B. Markle & Co., Jeddo;
John Jennyn, Seranton; Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company, Panther Creek
district; Coxe Bros. & Co., Drifton, and
the Lehigh and Wilkesbarro Company.
Three of tho companlos which had
not assented operate in this region.
The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Company
had agreed to pay the advance, but did
not promise to abolish the sliding scale.
The Drifton corporation had not assent
ed to tho demand that the increase be
paid until April 1 next. Markle & Co.
had not posted notices of any kind.
THE OFFICIAL ORDER.
The official order declaring the strike
at an end is signed by the national
president and secretary, the members of
the national executive board and tho
presidents and secretaries of the an
thracite districts of the United Mine
Workers. It congratulates the strikers
upon the victory won, and calls their
attention to the operators' agreement to
consider all other grievances which may
be presented.
11l connection with the latter, the
union officials advise the men to make
immediate demands on their employers
for their compliance with tho semi
monthly pay law.
The strikers are also cautioned of the
danger of neglecting their duty to tho
organization. They are asked to con
tinue their activity as members and
stand united, otherwise the advantages
they have gained may soon be lost.
SEMI-MONTHLY PAY LAW.
The aim of the United Mine Workers
to bring about a compliance by tho
operators with tho seini-monthly pay
law should roceive tho hearty and
united support of all people in tho an
thracite region. It is tho law of tho
state and there never was a more op
portune time than the present to insist
upon its enforcement. To the business
people, in particular, it is important. If
the law is not obeyed tho majority of
tho men who have been idle will not
receive any pay worth considering until
December 22 next.
The semi-monthly pay law fosters a
spirit of economy and honesty among
the workers, it maintains trade at a
normal standard all through the month,
it gives men their earnings two or three
weeks sooner than under the present
system, in brief, it is only just to all
concerned, but above all, it is tho law
of Pennsylvania, and every citizen
should assist in having the law upheld

and obeyed, regardless of who the law
defier may be.
LARGE LABOR MEETING.
One of tho largest meetings held in
town during the strike took place Wed
nesday evening at tho Grand opera
house. W. H. Fairiey, of Alabama, a
member of tho national executive hoard
of the United Mine Workers, delivered
one of the best labor spoeches heard in
towu for some time. lie was followed
by "Mother" Mary Jones, who spoke
for over an hour. Considerable en
thusiasm was displayed by tho large
audionco.
FOUR HELD WITHOUT BAIL.
Thomas liarter, George Konsbtck,
Michael Callahan and Jacob Reitmeyer,
four of the Oneida strikers arrested and
charged with assault and battery and
intent to kill during the riot at Oneida
were held without bail by tho court at
Pottsville yesterday. The other seven
men were held under SI,OOO hail each on
the charge of assault and battery with
intent to kill. They were also placed
under SI,OOO bail each on tho charge of
inciting riot.
CARPENTERS ATTACKED.
A Schuylkill trolley car carrying
carpenters en route to St. Nicholas
colliery was held up in Mahanoy City
on Wednesday. The carpenters had
taken breaker boys' places and assisted
to wash coal at Boston Run. Several
were struck, but not severely injured.
Sheriff Toole caused the arrest of
Charles Elliott, charged with connec
tion with the raid, but Squire May dis
charged him for want of evidence.
An Important Case.
August Ivollert Is the defendunt in an
important case which was heard yester
day before Squire Shovlinand continued
until Tuesday next. He is charged by
Health Officer Ward with removing a
contagious dlseaso placard from his
residence at Washington and Main
streets, where a case of diphtheria ex
isted some time ago.
Attorney Carr represents the prose
cutor and Attorney Stroll tho defendant.
On behalf of Mr. Kellert It is claimed
that the Board of Health is not a legally
organized body, as its president also
holds the office of tax collector, and
that this makes its actions void. This
construction of the law is denied by the
prosecution, and to give the attorneys
and justice an opportunity to more fully
examine the law the hearing was con
tinued.
Preparing for Business.
The Central Pennsylvania Brewing
Company has contracted with L. H.
Lentz to erect a large ice house, stable
and wagon shed for the use of its Free
land branch. The buildings will be
located on the rear of the lot of Mrs.
Jane DeFoy, on Washington street, and
work will be commenced in a short
while.
Manager W. J. Morgan is pushing the
business hard in Freeland and the com
pany's sales this year are larger than
ever before.
Will Probated.
The will of the late Thos. E. Duvies
was probated today before Deputy
Roglster of Wills Hiram P. Kuntz. The
deceased bequcthed all his property to
his wife during her life, except some
minor articles which he left to hfs
grandchildren. Upon the death of Mrs.
Davies, which occurred two days after
his own, the property is to bo divided
among the surviving son and daughters.
William E. Davies, of Drifton, Is named
as executor.

ping foreman at Buck Mountain, was

Highland by several unknown men
while driving home last evening. Ho

which he returned. Ills horso, becom
ing frightened, dashed forward and soon
had him away from his assailants.

AFTER VOTES.
Itl>ublican Parade and Mae* Meeting; on
Wednesday Evening.
The mass meeting conducted by the
Republicans 011 Wednesday evening at
Valines' opera house was well attended,
but by far the larger number present
was composed of people from Hazleton
and vicinity. The absence of Freeland
voters was remarkable and caused no
little comment. District Chairman H.
P. Kuntz presided and introduced the
speakers.
J. H. James, Esq., of Pottsville, de
livered the first address. He spoke on
the benefits of Republicanism in general,
but as he is not an orator he failed to
arouse any interest in his remarks.
Hon. H. W. Palmer, candidate for
congress, followed Mr. James. He con
fined himself principally to the trust
question, claiming that the trusts are
bred in Democratic states and that his
party is not responsible for their evil
doings. He then took up the remedy
offered against trusts by Colonel liryan,
that of placing all articles manufactured
by trusts on the free list, and spoke of
the evil effect this would have upon
American labor. The questions of im
perialism and expansion were also
touched upon. In closing Mr. Palmer
referred to the fact that he is a candi
date and that 110 is not owned by cor
porations, but that he owns himself.
George S. Ferris, Esq., candidate for
judge, merely mentioned the fact that
he desires the support of the voters and
will fulfill the duties of the office to tho
best of his ability.
Wm. Reigby, of New York, was the
last speaker, and his peculiar actions
before be began caused a ripple of inter
est to appear among the audience. Ho
took Imperialism and expansion for his
subjects, but did not create tho sensa
tion which many wore led to expect.
The county and legislative candidates
were present on tho stage, but through
some oversight none of the speakers
referred to them In any way further than
advising the voters to support the
ontlre ticket.
A free trolley ride from Hazleton and
surrounding towns induced the Republi
can club of that city and West Hazleton
and Jeanesvllle clubs to come here.
Led by tho Citizens' band and two drum
corps the visitors paraded Washington,
Ridge and Centre streets before the
meeting and made a good appearance.
Lanterns, torches and transparencies
were carried.
Near the Lehigh valley depot two of
the transparencies were badly disfigured
by stones, and later two bass drum
heads were broken by missiles which
were thrown at tho marchers. This
work was severely condemned by the
people of town, and if the identity of
the guilty persons can be established it
is said they will be prosecuted.
Last evoning's Hazleton Plain Speak
er says: "About seventy-five members
of tho Republican club were not fur
nished transportation to Freeland last
night and upon returning to their head
quarters they cheered lustily for liryan.
showing their disgust at being left be
hind. Company A decided to disband and
form a liryan Club. Nearly every mem
ber broke his lantern. The matter will
likely be patched up tomorrow."
Married Yesterday.
Herbert W. Fritz, of Rockport, and
Miss Ellen P. Stewart, of Freeland,
were married yesterday morning at 11.15
o'clock at the residence of the bride's
mother, Mrs. It. A. Dodson, on Walnut
street. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. W. W. Harttnan, pastor of the
Park M. E. church. Edw. C. Ebert, of
Weatherly, acted as groomsman, and
Miss Clara Marks, of Sandy Run, was
bridesmaid. Over 100 invited guests
witnessed the ceremony and tendered
many wishes of success and prosperity
to tho happy couple.
A collation consisting of sandwiches,
coffee, cake and fruits, was served to
all present. During the afternoon Mr.
and Mrs. Fritz departed for their resi
dence near Rockport, where they have
made their home. Their departure from
town attracted no little attention, as
their carriage was sprinkled with
several pecks of rice, and huge placards,
the work of joking friends, adorned the
sides and roar, containing such inscrip
tion as "There is only one girl and I've
got her," and "We have just been
married."
Mrs. Fritz was one of Freeland's most
estimable young ladies. For some years
past she taught school in Foster town
ship, and her qualifications won her the
regard of her pupils and their parents
wherever she was stationed. Mr. Fritz
is a well-known young man of his sec
tion and is a teacher at Rockport school.
The esteem in which the frionds of
the family held the bride was shown by
the very large number of handsome and
useful presents received by her. The
list embraces almost every article re
quired in a household.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Statement of FactH Concerning; the Claims
Colonel Martin Has to the Sup
port of Voters of All Parties.
The court has decided that tho Demo
cratic county convention failed to nomi
nate a judicial candidate, which ex
plains the appearance of my name on
the ballot, in the column under the
head of "Citizens' l'arty." Make your
mark opposite name, T. R. Martin—[X|.
In that convention 1 had a majority
of the delegates, but political intrigue
prevented them from nominating the
candidate of their choico.
As I owe no allegiance to any political
faction, boss or bosses, therefore the
people have tho opportunity, at this
time, of electing a judge independent uf
all political influoncc.
The people demand the prompt trans
action of tho business of the courts, and
protection by the court, from the brow
beating and bullying of counsel, where
by suitors are discouraged from seuking
their rights and witnesses attending in
response to the summons of the court
are unnecessarily humiliated.
To promote the interests of justice, It
is tlie duty of tho court and members of
the bar, not only to be manly and court
eons toward each other, but likewise to
havo duo regard and consideration for
others having.business with the courts.
When you go to the polls on election
day, vote with that same independence
and fearlessness which 1 shall exercise
on the bench if elected judge.
Being one of the great body of people.
I fully assent to the foregoing demands
of the people, and if in your judgment
I am doserving of, and'fitted for the
office of judge, I shall appreciate and
be obliged to you for your support.
Vevy respectfully,
T. R. Martin.
