Undaunted by the threatening weath er, which greeted the thousands of Mine Workers and other organized workingmen of lower Luzerne county as they arose this morning, the commit tee of the Central Labor Union Is ready to carry out the program of the day. As the Tribune is going to press the men who will take part in the big dem onstration are gathering at their various mooting places, the local unions from tho outside towns are on their way to Freeland, and every trolley car and train Is bringing hundreds of visitors to town. Unless an unusually heavy rain comes down before noon the parade will bo the largest in point of numbers over seen in Freeland. Since Friday nearly a dozen more unions of the United Mine Workers have decided to partici pate in the celebration here. Tho order and route of parade will be as announced in Friday's Tribune.

Tho delegates, many of whom went to Ilazieton with the determina tion to take immediate steps towards compelling certain companies to respect tho agreement of last fall, returned homo perfectly satislied with tho deci sion reached by the committee on reso lutions, and they will now patiently wait the result of Mr. Mitchell's efforts to bring abflut a satisfactory solution with the heads of the corporations. The- principal topic under discussion at Friday's sessions was tho restriction of the output. There were also several other topics of no less importance, but definite actiou on most of them was left to the national president and the district oflicors. The relation of tho ktireinon to the mine workers came in for a great deal of consideration. As a moans of avoiding conflicts between the dilToreut organizations it was de cided to take into the Mine Workers all men employed in and about the mines. Resolutions denouncing the legisla ture fur its alleged failure to enact into laws all tho bills demanded by tho mine workers were ruled out of order on tho ground that the injection of politics was against the rules of the organization. The hoard of Pardons was commended for its action in recommending the re lease of two of the strikers convicted of rioting at Oneida, and tho board was petitioned to take favorable action ou the cases of the ten other rioters who are still confined. Tho convention au thorized the respective district executive boards to declare local strikes whore last spring's agreements have been vio- Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat.

Witchcraft in Shamokin. Jacob Shuck, of Shamokin, who was committod to jail recently on tho charge of practicing witchcraft, was brought from prison on Saturday to answer charges preferred by Mi-s Lizzie Iloy buck. She alleges that Shuck caliod on her mother to treat her for sickness. It is alleged ho orderod Miss Reybuck to kill the black cat in tho cellar, because he declared it had ninety-nine devils in it, and as long as it was about his spell over the sick would be futile. Tho cat was disposed of, but the patient grew no bettor. Tho hoodoo doctor then made "dovil" masks, as he called them, on the wall of the house to drive away the evil spirit, and borrowed a 340 silver watch which belonged to Mrs. Roy buck's deceased husband. It was not returned, and Mrs. Reybuck died shortly afterwards. Shuck was remanded to jail in default of SBOO bail. Edward O'Donnell Dead.

Today was Sun Bros.' how day in Wooster, and while the show had but little reputation in Wooster it drew a much larger crowd to tho city than was expected. The spread of canvas is by long odds tho cleanest, neatest and prettiest over pitched on the fair ground. Everything about tho outfit is new, and a prosperous air pervades everywhere. The parade at 1 o'clock was creditable, the hand wagon and animal cage sub stantial looking and attractive, while the music by the band and the gaily caparisoned horses made a very good impression. The performance given {.his after noon was well attended, and as a whole was quito satisfactory, and well worthy of patronage. The menagerie, whilo small, Is attractive aud clean. ROUND THE REGION Arthur Thomas and his wife, of Leo, near Wilkesbarre, both attempted sui cide on Saturday. It is said they parted In anger that morning. After the hus band went to work the wife took a large dose of laudanum and was found uncon scious. When her husband heard it he tried to cut his throat. He was pre vented and guarded by friends. The wlfc was saved after several hours' hard work by physicians. Overtures have been made to Jenny n it Co., the Mount Jessup Coal Company and the Moosic Mountain Coal Company for tho purchase of their coal properties.
