An Enthusiastic Avseu,elage.


On last Saturday evening one of the
largest audiences assembled in School
Hall, this borough, to hear MIR. Drury,
of Philadelphia, lecture on the Labor
Question:" that it has been our pleasure
to see.
At about eight o'clock the orator was
introduced to his audience, who greeted
him with loud applause. The lecturer,
during his discourse, spoke in very
even and distinct manner, being as cas-
lily and as plainly understood by those
in the back part of the room as by those
nearer the platform. Mr.. Drury claims
that upon the solution of the labor ques-
tion depends the proper maintainence
of our country. Society has been ad-
vanced; civilization elevated and sancti-
fed by labor; labor is the fact between
barbarism and civilization, and that
we, as the laborers of the world, have
the privilege to ask for a change in the
position of the laborers. He vividly
pictured the life of the laborer of the
fourteenth century and compared it
with the condition of the toilers of to-
day; declaring that the laboring class of
our times are entitled to the privilege of
more enjoyments and better wages than
the same class of people three or four
centuries ago, from the fact, that during
that time our country has advanced and
not receeded. He recalled how quar-
ter of a century ago it would have been
an impossibility to assemble an audience
of such large numbers as were present
to hear him, how at that time, any one
who had the courage to resent for a
moment the injuries inflicted by low
wages and over work, would in all pro-
bability, be knocked down, black-listed,
branded with calumny and prevented
from getting employment in any work.
shop in the town or city, and the pres
ence of such large audience in this
little town, was an indication that the
cause OF the Worklngman was gaming
ground in public sentiment. He advo-
Gated the doing away of bosses in all
public works, and in this way increase
the laborers wages. He was loudly ap-
plauded as he spoke in light, jocular
manner of the actions of many bosses
who do "Such deep Minking." The
speaker claimed that the purpose of the
labor movement is to do what has never
before been attempted-the abolition of
poverty. The fact that the labor ques-
tion is not without purpose, moral
and a method is synonymous of its ulti.
mate success. During the two hours
which the speaker occupied the plat
form he urged repeatedly the organiza.
ton of trade unions and to generally
organize, educate and agitatc."

Obituary. Miss Hattie Il. WILLIAMS.

On last Friday morning, at her home
in Packerton, after a long period of con-
flnement and intense bodily sufferings,
the soul of this exemplary young lady
waited its flight heavenward. Several
years ago Miss Williams was converted
to God, and since then she has lived in
such close communion with Him that
death, to this disciple of Jesus, was
only like stepping from one room to an
other. and far better room of our
Fathers house. During Miss Williams
residence in this place a few years ago
she made hosts of friends, many of whom
followed her remains, slowly and sadly
to their last resting place in the Lehigh-
ton cemetery. What tender AMI sor-
rowful thoughts thrill one at a time like
this, when we look upon the face of a
departed friend for the last time; how
our memory goes back to the days of
pleasant associations connected with
the deceased, and how sad to know that
they shall be no more.
Miss Hattie Ii. Williams was born
in Mauch Chunk, in the year of our
Lord 1865, and departed this life at
Packerton, Friday. January Goth, 1886,
aged twenty ye; rs five months and
twenty-five days; on Sunday the 3lst
ultimo, was inferred in the Lehighton
cemetery, services were held in the NJ.
L. church, this borough, Rev. Cook, the
pastor, and Rev. Powell, of Packerton,
officiating. A large coucourse of sor-
rowing relatives and friends followed
the remains to their last resting place.
We extend to the afflicted mother and
brothers our heartfelt sympathy in this
sad hour of their bereavement.
"Oh, what are all my suflerings here,
II, Lord, thou count me meet
With that enraptured host to appear,
And wOr.hp at thy feet
Give joy or grief, give ease or pain;
Take all my friends away,
But let me find them all again
In that eternal day"

JOHN c. EMO and his young wife, ac-
cording to Quebec correspondent Of
the Euening Post, have, ever since their
enforced exile in the quaint old French
Canadian city, been pressing themselves
into the set of society which centres
around the garrison, the local Cabinet
Ministers, and the Government officers.
At first Emo merely sauntered around
the rotunda of the Russell House;
year later he was occasionally to be seen
at the Garrison Club, and now he is a
regular habitue of the resorts patronized
by the "best people, His formal de-
but into society, however, may be con.
sidered to date from last Wednesday
evening, goth ult., when he attended
the annual ball of the Aurora Snowshoe
Club. This is one of the social events
of the season. Emo was accompanied
by his wife, who was looked upon as
one of the bellies of the evening. She
fairly glttered with diamonds. Among
the notables present was Sir Adolph
Caron, the Canadian War Minister, the
dandy of the Cabinet, and the one pc
culiar Minister upon whom the Princess
Louise, and, in fact, the ladies in gen.
eral, have always bestowed their special
favors. The Lieutenant-G al
though he accepted an invitation, was
not present, and it is said on good auth
ority that his absence was owing to the
fact of his Ade-de-Camp, Capt. Shep-
pard, having informed him of the pres
ence of the American bank wrecker.
The circumstance has caused no end of
gossip, and several leading members of
the club have sent in their designations.
How Emo managed to get an invitation
has not yet been learned, but 1t is said
that his lawyer, who was on the Com
mittee of Management, secured him a
ticket

Thieves in a church at Wilkesbarre,

St. Nicholas German Catholic Church
was entered by thieves the night of the
2Sth ult., the altar desecrated and two
chalices and two ciboriums, valued at
S4OO, taken, The thieves first effected
an entrance to the cellar through coal
hole, then removed the furnace pipe and
pushing their way up through the open
ing, were soon in the church. When
Father Stopper arrived next morning to
celebrate early Mass he noticed nothing
unusual, but upon opening the sacristy
found that TWO of the chalices were not
in their places, and further investigation
showed that the two ciboriums were
also missing. One of the chalices was
silver, with heavy gold plating inside
and outside, while the other was of brass
base and heavy silver cup. The two
ciboriums were OF solid silver, with gold
plating.

Mabanov Plano Hou,e pe.troyed.

The aXles of some eight-wheeled
cars being hoisted from the Mahanoy
Plane of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company struck the tip Friday
morning, Goth ult. The friction caused
the oil-saturated floor to take fire and
before the employees of the plane house
realized it the whole building was en-
veloped in flames. The engine house
was filled with ponderous machinery
and as the internal supports of the stone
walls were burned out they caved in,
doing irretrievable damage. In an hour
and half the whole structure, with its
contents, was in ruins. The machinery,
which was of the most valuable pattern,
was wholly destroyed.
The plane was originally designed by
Stephen Girard. 1t was used to trans
fer coal from the Shenandoah and
Mahanoy Valleys across Broad Noun
tain for more convenient access to the
company's main line. Without it the
coal would have to be transported over
the Gordon Plane or around by way of
Tamaqua, the increased expense of
hauling adding very materially to the
cost of the coal. The plane was COM
pleted in 1861 and since then has beer
in almost constant use. The machinery
was built by George w. Snyder's colliery
iron works and is the original pattern
of the large machinery used on the
Wilkesbarre Plane. 1t was the admira-
tion of machinists and the subject of
many scientific reports to societies of
engineers. The direct loss by the fire is
$4,000, while the consequential dam
age will greatly swell the amount. 1t
will take nearly year to rebuild the
house and replace the machinery.

Burned to Death IA a aaioon.

Thomas Higgins, aged 25 years, was
burned to death in Kate Noon's saloon,
Girardville, early Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Noon left her home Monday night
to attend wake and left Higgins ard
a few of his friends in charge of the
saloon. She had no sooner left than
the men began to drink freely and all
became greatly intoxicated Higgins
stretched himself out on bench behind
the stove and fell asleep. The others
fell into dead sleep, which lasted for
about two hours. The door of the stove
was closed and the stove became red
hot. Higgins rolled from the bench on
which he was lying and rolled against
the stove. His clothing caught fire and
when his companions recovered con-
sc!ousness they found his charred body
lying against the stove. Higgins was
married and had three children.

The Coal Trade

Inc COal l1aQ6
The condition of the coal trade re-
mains practically unchanged. No at
tempts have yet been made to form a
new combination for the anthracite
trade for 1886 and no preliminary meas
ures have been taken looking toward
such action. Prices are trife lower if
anything than week ago. In New
York the Generalization is reported
greater than at Philadelphia. The
Lackawanna Company persists in its
demand that the production for the first
quarter be placed at G,500,000 tons.
While other companies object to so large
an apportionmcnt, they are all mining
at this rate. The production for the
first three weeks in January was 1910,
900 tons. Mr.. Gowen is said to be in
favor of mining 80, 900, 900 tons this year
as against total of 81 800, 900 tons was
mined last year. This has caused much
unfavorable comment, as the production
was greater than the demand last year,
and it is not understood where this extra
$780, 900 tons can be marketed.
The stock on hand of the Reading
Railroad Company at Port Richmond is
about 100000 tons of all sizes. The
line and city trade is quite brisk, with
especial demand for lump, steamboat
and broken sizes.
A strong bituminous coal combination
has been formed to control the output
of the Clearfield region. The demorali-
cation in soft coal prices is reported to
be as great as in the anthracite trade
and the outlook for the near future is
not considered favorable for higher
prices. Philadelphia Times.
