exercises with fine music. Mr.. and
Mrs. Barrager sang several temper.
ance songs in fine style. They are
grand ,vocalists and their touching
temperance songs contributed much
to the interest and enthusiasm of
the meeting. Many ladies attended
the meeting and occupied seats in

to the chair. After a short prelim.
mary address the chairman Intro.
duced Rev. I. Jewell, who made a
strong speech in favor of prohibition.
In the course of his speech he pro-
duced statistics showing the alarm
ing and steady increase of the liquor
business and the fallacy of compro-
missing and parleying with the evil by
pretended license restrictions. Mr.
JEWELS speech was a strong and
telling one
Rev. Mr.. Hill of Cherry Hill, fol.
lowed Mr.. Jewell in an able and con-
vincing address, in which be went to
the bottom and very marrow of the
subject. He analysed the proposed
"high license law which has been
prepared by the friends of the liquor
trade and is being offered to the voters
of the county this fall in place of the
prohibition amended law. Mr.. Hill
proved by figures taken from the
Clerks books at Elkton that in place
of the law being "high" license law.
that it is actually lower than the Ii.
cense law which was in force prior to
the present local option law, showing
what has always been true, that when
ever an attem ,ot is made to compro.
mise with the whiskey power, that it
loses no opportunity to cheat it's op-
ponent. This fraud of the license
party was most effec:ually exposed
and held up to the gaze of its propos-
ed victims. After such an attempt
at deception, who can vote for the
proposed loaU. not "high" license and
plead that he is friend to abolish
ing the liquor traffic in Cecil county
or any where else?
We have not room to give even a
synopsis Of this most able and con-
vincing speech The friends of the
cause should make arrangements to
have it delivered in every quarter OF

NEW YORK, Nov lin obedience to sum-
monses served on them yesterday, Jacob Sharp,
James Richmond, James w. Forshay and
Thomas B. Kerr appeared in the Court of Gen
eral Sessions. today, to plead to the twenty ore
indictments against them for bribery in the
Broadway railway matter The courtroom was
we'll filed with spectators and friends of the ac
cused railway macnates. Mr.. Richmond was
accompanied by Judge Fullerton, Judge Homer
A. Nelson and Frark j. Dupignac, who are en-
gagged for his defense. They took seats near the
defendants railing, and chatted quietly. Sharp,
Forshay and Kerr were accompanied by their
lawyers, John H. Strahan and John H. Bird.
The cases were called, Sharp being first.
Albert Stickney arose to represent him, and
stated that he was prepared to enter plea for
his Silent, but before doing SO he desired leave to
withdraw the plea to be entered and enter an
other demurrer to the indictment or make mo-
ton concerning the case. He desired a reason
able time to decide upon the steps to be taken.
District Attorney MARITIME stated that the de-
fendant had already had considerable time to
examine into the case, and in response to Re-
corder Smyths query, Mr. Stckney responded:
"Ten days. This case, your honor, contains
more intricate facts than ordinary cases"
Recorder Smyth, after some argument, gave
the oeIenOanL unui MONDAY next TO withdraw
the plea and substitute another, but said that If
it was decided to make a motion the district at
torney must be given notice couple of days in
advance
A plea of ''not guilty" was then entered in be-
half of Jacob Sharp.
For Richmond, Judge Fullerton entered like
plea, with the same stipulations He said that
he would probably make motion calling upon
the district attorney to produce the minutes of

Forshay and Stranahan entered the same plea
and John Ii. Bird performed like service in be-
half of Kerr, and after short private consuta-
ton the defendants and their lawyers left the

A DIABOLICAL CRIME.
Dynamite Bombs and Caps Placed Under the
Springs of Railway Passenger Coach.
courtroom

PITTsBURG, Nov. 11-Upon the arrival at
Dubois, Pa, of the mail train north on the
Buffalo, Rochester & Pttsburg railroad, to-day,
the car inspector, while passengers were getting
on and off the at the depot, discovered three
dynamite bombs and caps fastened under the
springs of the rear coach. The bombs were
carefully removed, and there were many pale
faces among the passengers when they
learned the terrible fate they lad so narrowly
escaped. The train starts from Punxsutawney
every morning and it was undoubtedly at that
place that the bombs were placed under the
springs, as it only makes short stops between
there and Dubois 1t is twenty miles from the
place of starting and how it possible for a
train to run that distance over short curves with
that amount of dynamite and caps under the
springs of coach is a mystery. Thirty-four
persons were in the coach. Suspicion points di-
rectly to no person as the perpetrator of the
deed. The matter will be thoroughly investi-
gated by the railroad authorities and an effort
made to bring the criminal to justice

FILIBUSTERING SCHEMES.
Sensational Statements as to Proposed Rev
olutiOnary Movement in Mexico.

DALLAS, Tex, Nov lit appears that tho
filibustering expedition proposed to invade Mex
leo and establish new republic, to be composed
of the present States of Chihuahua, Sonora and
Durango, is no myth. Two emissaries of the
movement arrived in Dallas, yesterday. and
under promise not to give any information that
might be used against him, one of them has
given some points 30 the true inwardness of
the daring scheme. He says that this filibuster-
ing movement was on foot before the Cutting
case was heard of but that in matters of such
delicacy it is necessary to move slowly and with
great caution. He did not. however deny that
Cutting is now one of the leaders of the affair.
The executive committee consists of twelve per-
sons, three of whom are located at Ell Paso, two
are travelling and working up the scheme by Sc
cret agents, and the remainder some of whom are
very wealthy men, are in New York Chicago
Salt Lake City, and the city of Mexico Three
OF the executive committee are Roman Catholic
priests One of the latter is now on his way to
Rome to confer with the Pope His Holiness, it
is said, has long desired some convulsion in
Mexico which might give opportunity for the re-
establishment there of the state church, and the
conspirators look with great confidence to him
for aid. The New York and Chicago capitalits
are in the scheme for what they can make They
on the ground floor of the projected new govern
ment. making handsome profit on its bonds
and grants of land and mining privileges The
conspiracy has progressed so far that the plan
of the new government has been formulated 1t
is to be socialistic republic, held in check by a
strong military power Great inducements are
to be offered to the unemployed workingmen Of
the United States to emigrate thlther The Sc
cret agents state the proposed invasion will
not necessarily or probably take place from
Ell Paso, but may soon occur at any point on the
frontier between Fort Yuma and Brownsville

licy known or suspected in connection with the
affair, is receiving bushel of letters day from

Good AIl-Around Preacher and Political
Hustler of High Degree.
6pecai to the indianapolis Journaa.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1l.-Many inquiries are
made in political circles here as to who the Rev.
Myron w. Reed is-Reed, the man who came so
near defeating Judge Symes. the present liepub
lcan incumben in Congress from Colorado.
There was so much apathy in the ranks of the
Democrats in Colorado toward the admiEistra
ticn and Judge Symes stood so we'll before the
people there, that his majority was calculated
up in the thousands. Like a skyrocket, how
ever, the preacher politician flashed upon the
horizon and came so near sweeping the State
that the result is yet in doubt.
''Reed is what We call in Colorado a daisy
preacher" said Mai W. S. Peabody, of Den
YER, to-day. HE is one of the best all around
preachers and rough and tumble politicians
ever saw. He came to Denver from Indianapo-
lis few years ago and took one o. the leading
tractive. people regarded him with in
difference for awhile. But his habits
were unusual for minister, and they
were popular He went on the streets every
where, into the public places, attended the
courts, conventions everywhere, and the fruits
of his observations were given from his pulpit.
He went out into the mining districts, remain
ing weeks at times, camping with the boys tell
ing stories and making smiles everywhere, and
at the same time preaching on Sundays and at
nights. He is an orator, full of flowers and
rhetoric, and he always enraptures the bows
and elcits admiration from the ladies' He
usually wears great white somhrero, and often
goes horseback riding. He shambles carelessly
along the streets, but notices all, and is known
and received cordially by everybody. From his
associations one could not tell at casual glance
whether he was Mexican, French, American or
Dutch, or whether he was Catholic Methodist,
vulgar, nor rough, nor loose in mis- remarks. and
conducts himself with dignity becoming far
Western preacher Such is the man who as a
Democratic candidate for Congress. came near

WAsHINGToN Nov. I.-Civil- service Com
missioner Edgerton has received scores of letters
from the most respectable Democrats in the

graduating him upon the defeat of Representa-
tive Lowry. Mr.. Edgertons home is at Fort
Wayne, and although he is Democrat and Mr.
Lowry is Democrat he spoke his mind, pri
vatelv though remarkably plainly to his Demo
cratic friends when at home on two or three oc-
casions during the campaign, and advised them
to vote for Captain White, the Republican can
didate. because one represents the corruption
of Office spoils, while the other is above Office
jobbery and the slum system"
Mr.. Edgarton takes some pride in the over
whelming defeat of Lowry. since, he says, the
canvass was made purely on the spoils issue
He thinks that If the civ-service reform policy
of the administration had been before the voters
of Indiana for Endorsement, and had it been
pitted against the spos policy of the leaders of
the party there as represented by Mr.. Lowry,
it would have carried by at least 90 0OO
Mr. Edgerton pictures in glowing colors the
manner in which some federal officers were
made to 60 out and work for the spoils cand-
dates. and is happy that their masters were
properly rebuked. He takes pleasure in the
election of his personal friend, Colonel Robert
son, to be acknowledgements They are near
