New YORK. Feb. 10Th. 1884
The thick heavy weather has msteri-
ally delayed the Frisia, which Is now
on her way across the Atlantic with the
remains of De Long, Collins and other
heroes of the North Pole. The HERALD
boys are arranging for au elaborate serv-
ice in his memory, TO testify to the high
regard in which he was held by his as
sociates in the journalistic field. Col
Inns was always genial, whole souled
fellow. Never loud or demonstrative,
there was a sunny, quiet evenness about
his manners which made everybody like
him. While on the editorial staff of the
HERALD he was always dabbling in some
scrt of meteorological experiment, and
whatever prestige the HERALD has gained
by its weather gnostications, it is due
solely to Collins work. In 1876, when
He'll Gate was blown up, Collins sug-
gested that the explosion would afford a
splendid opportunity for testing the
Iapidlty with which sound travelled, as
also the distance to which the shock con-
sequent upon the explosion would be
felt, As a result, the HERALD started
out staff of over hundred men, plac-
ing them at various points from the EasS
River, opposite the scene of explosion,
as far as West Point. Each observer
armed with sheet of white paper, o
pendulum with a soft lead pencil in its
centre, glass of water, spirit level
and piece of putty. The putty was
used to fix the spirit level. The pendu-
lum was hung against the white drawing
paper, and the glass of water placed near
the spirit level. When the'shock came
after the explosion, the pencil in the
pendulum described one or two faint
curves, the bubble in the level moved,
and rings formed on the surface Of the
water in tue glass. The number of these
vibrations were duly recorded, and The
memoranda given to Collins, who used
them for series of elaborate ealculI.
tions which proved of much value to the
Interests of science.

o the Voters Of Lehig hton.

To the Voters Of Lehighton.
For long time there has been a deer
murmer Of discomfort among the people oi
the Borough OF Lehighton.
Ard the question has been many times
asked since the local election last Tuesday
whether the people of this Borough had the
right to name and elec. their local officers
or whether a small, puny Drained fellow
who IS boss at Packerton, should continue
to exercise this power.
A little fellow who evidently never had
his nose cleaned thoroughly since his
mother last wiped it. A small man who
lives from the sweat of other mems brows.
A little man who has his cellars stocked
with the choicest liquors, and who receives
many presents. An unprincipled fellow
who represents, for the time being. a big
soulless corporation, which would reduce
still further the present starvation wages Of
its workingmen if it could. And which
would impose upon them still! greater and
more burdensome tasks. This would be
called business.
Let me say here word to tho workingmen
al Paekerton. do not wish to ind any
fault with the Company for whom you
work. But you LaYe no doubt experienced
that it is not a charitable institution.
think everybody will agree with me that
you fully earn all the money you get. 1t
is not Company that is in the habit of
giving much away to its laborers for moth
ing. 1t will make you work like the terfs
Of Russia Tor your little pay. Therefore,
can not understand why it is, if you earn
your wages and do your work we'll, tina /
you should be dogged around and bull
dozed on every el ection day to vote to please
this impudent "rutz nsus" who happens to
be t he "boss." He lives 80 high that he is
getting big IN his own conceit Some day
it may becnme important to know who
actually pays for it. The Company you
work for is conducted upOn a plan 10 make
money and not 10 bull-doze voters 10 please
4 little petty boss at Packerton.
II the managers knew all that this little
boss has done, they would not tolerate il.
have the correspondence and confessions
of this SAME little boss in my possession,
when held him to account .wo years ago
sor bull-dozing and intimidatIng the poor
workmen at Packerton. 1t was burning
shame, it was so mean, contemplate and
unprincipled that it would not have been
allowed in any country iu the world.
When he saw my arraignme0t o. him he
confessed and begged of and got his tool,
W. ii. Montz, whom he had elected on that
occasion, to resign and have il pu ublished in
the paper. Out of pity nobody could have
any respect) then let the matter drop.
Blu. as he persists TO continue his wicked
career we must all put our shoulders TO the
wheel and lift together and get our rights.
In conclusion let me once for oil say TO all
wOrkingmen wherever they be, stand firm
for your rights, vote for whom you please;
try and get the best wages you cam do a
fair days work and allow no corporation
nor "boss" 10 take you under foot.
This is sound doctrine and you have the
power TO enforce Il. Yours truly

Although announced to sit with open

gate the Danville anti-election riot was
quite difficult body for a stranger to
find when it commenced its sessions.
The room occupied is without sign on
the door, which was kept closed during
the first day, but opened thereafter by
Mr.. Sherman because of several very
loud complaints. The evidence thus
far produced is only a repetition of that
presented before the Citizens Committee
which investigated the matter in Dam
vile q week after the riot The report
of the committee will be in accordance
with Mr. ShermRn's wishes, as the Re.
publicans have the majority. A minor
ity report is predicted by many, and
the Democratic contention for its adop.
tion will give Sherman, Malone and
other "bloody shirt" Senators an oppor-
tunity to create campaign documents"
at the public expense. The report OF
