Alleged Traffic In Notes.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
The committee appointed by tho Trade
and Labor council Of this city to prepare
an official statement in reference to pub
lished allegations that the labor vote was
to be purchased for General Beaver, and
that the convention called for August 20
was to meet to effect that purpose, held a
session yesterday afternoon at Sixth and
Walnut streets, and, after deliberation,
adopted an address to the wOrkingmen of
Pennsylvania. in which they say:
"The Trade and Labor council of Phila-
delphia have called state convention
composed of delegates from the various
trades and labor organizations in the state,
to be held in this city on the 2Sth of Au-
gust. Within the past few days charges
Of corruption in relation to said cohven-
tion have appeared in several of the news
papers of this city. On behalf Of the
Trade and Labor council We emphatically
deny that said charges have any founda-
ton in fact that any political leader or
any other person outside of the organiza-
tiou has had anything whatever to do
with the calling of said convention or has
paid or has promised to pay any money
toward defrayihg the expeDces of said
convention or for the personal benefits of
any member instrumental in calling said
convention. We challenge full investi-
cation of the motives of all persons in
calling said convention, being satisfied
that the charges made have emanated
from a corrupt source"
a Good Choice.
Wikcsbarre Record, Dem.
Hon. Elliot P. Kisner, of this county,
has been chosen by Chairman HenseI, of
the Democratic state central cOmmitte, as
his secretary. 1t was not without hesita-
lion that he consented to serve in the posi-
sion, but at the earnest solicitation of
friends here and elsewhere through the
state, as we'll as of Mr.. Hensel, he finally
consented to accept the offer. 1t was
wise choice of the chairman's. Mr.. Kis-'
ner is a gentleman of surprising energy,
sincerely devoted to Democratic principles
and willing always to labor for Democratic
success. These qualities and his past ex-
pcrience in the field of preliminary politics,
particularly that acquired in the campaign
of last year, will combine to make him an
exceptionally valuable man at state head
quarters.
Margaret Fry, aged forty-eight years,
died in the Pennsylvania hospital in Phil
adelphia on Sunday, when her life would
probably have been saved had she re-
ceived the services Of a physician, which
were asked for and refused on the ground
that the weather was ''too warm to bother
with such cases." The name of the doc
tor who, it is charged, offered such an
extraordinary pretext not to aid a dying
woman is H. Heller, a German practic.
Mrs. Fry came to America from Germany
thirty five days ago, leaving five children
behind her. She made her home with a
Mrs. Bauer, living in tho rear of No. 500
CallOwhill street, and not long after her
arrival obtained situation as a cook in
restaurant on Water street. She was
very industrious woman, and worked hard
to give satisfaction to her employers.
A Manayunk Tub Race and accident.
Manayunk enjoyed the novel and funny
sport of tub race in the canal Saturday
evening. The canal banks and the foot
bridges near the mills were crowded with
people. A small bridge above Green Lane
collapsed under the weight of humanity
upon it at an exciting point in the contest
and dumped several scores of persons into
the water. One young girl received So
we're injuries and few others were
scratched by broken timbers. Beyond
these misbaps and the ducking that all
hands received there was no other serious
result.
The names Of the wounded were NOrah
Dixon, who ives seriously crushed Jos.
Farrell had his leg slightly hurt Theo-
dore Farrell was slightly wounded on the
head, and Joseph Hand had his right hand
slightly cut.
