Killed by Cars.

About five o'clock yesterday afternoon
an accident happened at the old station
at the Lumber Yard. Patrick Helferty,
a single man, aged 35 years, employed
for the past two years on the strippings
at Halle Brook and Stockton, while re-
turning from up the road towards the
tunnel, got on the rear end of a moving
coal train, and, while jumping off near
his boarding house, fell and in some
manner got under the wheels and was
terribly mangled.
T. A. Buckley, Dep. Coroner, was noti-
fed by the r. R. officials and upon his
arrival an investigation was had and the
body viewed. The Coroner decided that
there was no need of an inquest, as the
death was caused by his own neglect.
Not being an employe of the road
he had no business on the cars.
Undertaken Boyle from Hazleton ar
rived shortly after 8 p. m. and took
charge of the remains. The deceased
was about 2 years in this country and
boarded with John Dennion and was
never before known to ride on the coal
cars.

The anthracite coal trade, in the Ian
guage of a shipper of upwards of %
years experience, continues in state of
almost unprecedented "congested stag
nation" There has been so much coal
already forwarded to New England
points this season that the present low
rate Of vessel freights is no longer an in
ducement to dealers there to make addi-
tional purchases, Notwithstanding the
knowledge that freight rates show indi-
cations of stiffening and will soon be ad-
vanced. Considerable coal has also been
stocked" at Western lake distributing
points, and the mining and carrying
companies have large accumulation of
coal stored near the mines and at tide
water. In fact, until recently the re-
striction of output which had been
agreed upon by the managers of the an
thracite producing interests early in the
year was not faithfully adhered to, and
the present large accumulation of coal
in first hands and the ruling low prices
are the result.

TIGERS WIN AT SUMMIT HILL.


Accompanied by about twenty of their
admirers the Tigers drove to Summit
Hill on Saturday and won game by the
score of l5 to 8. The day was unsuitable
for base ball playing, high wind and
cold weather having tendency to cause
many errors on both sides. As soon as
the game began the Tigers found the
ball and pushed it far and often into the
outfield. So persistent were they at this
work that Kelly, Summit Hills pitcher,
was forced to retire at the end of the
fourth inning. Several times the home
club threatened to send for the famous
battery, Gormley and Christman, and in
land sluggers, who were only too anxious
to test their strength against Carbon
County's "phenom." Needless of tie
warming they continued pounding the ball
for two more innings and knocked an
other twirler out of the box. At this
stage of the game the crack battery ar
rived and two men were laid off to make
way for them. With the expectation of
seeing every Tiger that came to bat fen
the wind the new comers were introduced
with the cheers of nearly thousand
people. But the Tigers were not tanning
wind on Saturday and batted without
the slightest regard for Gormley's repu-
tation. His little curves and twists were
just the kind the Tigers live on, and two
two-baggers and five singles was the
amount of hitting they placed to their
credit in the three innings he pitched
against them. Brislin and Gaffney were
the Tigers battery, and worked in their
usual elegant style.
After the game picnic was held by
the home club and the visitors were
pleasantly entertained until late hour.
The boys are loud in their praise of the
excellent manner in which they were
treated by the Summit Hill people, and
it is rumored that several of the Tigers
left their hearts in possession of the
Carbon county girls.

BASE BALL.

The York club-better known as
the Cuban Giants-will contest with
Freeland at the park on Sunday after
noon. The York team has been consi-
derably strengthened since they played
here last season and will no doubt put
up good game. The manager of the
Freeland club will also place an excep-
tionally strong team in the field and a
good game is assured.
The famous Lehighton team will
come to Drifton on Saturday afternoon
and cross bats with the team of the lat
ter place. The Drifton club is anxious
to redeem the defeat given them at Le-
highton on Friday last and will put up a
strong game against their opponents.
Do not fail to attend as this will undoubt-
edly be the most exciting game of the
season. Usual admission. Game called
at $50 p. m.
DRIFToN AT LEHIGHToN.
The Drifton club went to Lehighton
Friday afternoon to play the team at
that place, and the unanimous verdict
of the audience was that the game was
one of the prettiest ever witnessed on
those grounds. The contest throughout
was as brilliant an exhibition of ball
playing as any person could wish to see.
Sharp fielding and scientific playing were
noticeable features from beginning to
end. The batteries were Heiser and
Mulvey and Rothermal and Jennings,
and the umpires Boner and Bartholomew.
Drifton had slight advantage in batting,
but Lehighton put up the finest fielding.
Errors at critical periods of the game is
the only cause that can be assigned for
Drifton's defeat, and those were made by
two of the most reliable men of the team.
The friends of both clubs we're out
strong and the interest was unabated un-
til the winning run was made. The
following gives the runs, hits, errors and

END AROMATIC CONTEST
Litigation Involves Quarter Mill
ion Closed.

q ROCKFORD, ILL.,, Nov. IA romantic
contest was finally settled to-day by the
decision of the supreme court, affirming
the decision of Judge Tuley, of Chi
cago, in the case of Charles S.
Fox against the heirs Of George
w. Hobbs. In 1S49 William II. Price
owned a plat of land and factory at
the corner of Clinton and Randolph
streets, Chicago. He was also the owner
of other property, which has since in
creased IN value enormously. Mr.. Price
had two children, Harry W. and Miss
Eliza NJ. Price. Like many others in
1910, he caught the gold fever and
started for California. Before leav-
ing he turned owe. the factory
and other property in trust to
his right hand man, George w. No
bles, but deposited the papers and
deeds with his wife. From that time
nothing more was heard or seen of him.
Mobiles, however, learned that Price
died while crossing the isthmus, but
this intelligence he carefully kept from
Mrs. Price and the family, and con-
tinued to administer affairs. He man
aged to secure the papers in Mrs. Prices
possession. and when she died in 1867,
he claimed to have bought the
be the absolute owner. He himself
died in 1885, willing the property to
his brothers and sisters. About this
time, III. w. Price began to look matters
up in the interest of himself and
Charles Fox, the son of his sister. The
case has been bitterly fought. The re-
suit is fortune for the plaintiffs, es-
timated at quarter Of amilli0n dollars.

NO TIME FOR DEALS.
Findic alton of Democratic Prin.
ciples the Duty of the Hour.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 1.-Gov.
David b. Hill closed the Democratic
campaign in this state IN a speech in
this city tonight. The hall was
crowded. He said in reference 20 the
Importance of municipal elections:
The duty of the hour is the vindication of
Democratic principles. This is no time for
deals or bargains with the common enemy
when the very existence of our party is at
stake The Republicans have everything to
gain and nothing TO lose by combinations
front of all the friends of true and genu-
ing Democracy against the opposition
is earnestly demanded everywhere, wheth-
er i'll state, county or in mum
icipal elections. Put no Democrat on
guard whose Democracy is not above sus-
picion. Those who encourage facsional con-
tests should go to the rear in times of public
peril like these, when the integrity of the
republic is assailed. Our opponents are
seeking to, maintain the control of the
day. Corruption, colonization, 1ntim-
idation and false enumeration are
the tactics employed to bolster up their wan
ing power, aud to crush out the hopes of the
honest democracy who are fighting the COM
bined seltshness OF the country in a gallant
but unequaled struggle. Every LEGAL Off
cial-whether mayor, sheriff. district attor-
political influence on the political fortunes
of his party in the locality in which he re-
sides, and where he performs his official
functions. Democratic cities and counties
should have Democratic officials, and none
others. Their influence will tend to the per-
petuatlon of our principles, and it is folly to
shut our eyes to the importance of this ques-
ton. lam not now referring to official pat
ronage merely. but to Official influence.
When it is once understood, either in Con-
necticut or New York, that it is
immaterial what the political COM
plexion OF your county or munich
pal government may be, there is instantly a
loss of local party pride and political decad
ence, soon follows. Much political good or
evil can be accomplished by local officials,
and the newly discovered doctrine that there
should be a non-partisan administration of
local or municipal affairs should not be ac
cepted unless we are prepared practically to
disband local political organizations, and
rely upon the courtesies of our opponents TO
secure political victories"
The governor closed his remarks by
asking Democrats to vote the party
ticket for Luzon B. Morris for gov
ernor, and for the reelection of Mr..
Wilcox to congress.

The Democrats of Ramsey county are
70 be congratulated upon the splendid
county ticket which they Will elect by a
rousing majority next Tuesday. From
The commencement of this campaign
there has been no break in the ranks of
the party, and without faiter will the
democratic majority in this county
march TO the polls Tuesday and deposit
their ballots for the straight ticket. 1t
Is, and always has been. mat
ter Of pride TO every Democrat IN
Did Ramsey that the county has always
been true to the Democracy. In the
darkest hours in the party'S history it
stood firm and unyielding, and gave
majority for that fearless Soldier-leader,
Little Mae" in 1864. -Four years later
coy. Seymour carried the county by Il
larger majority. 1t declared for Horace
Greeley in -, for Tilden in 10, Hancock
IN 80 aud Grover Cleveland III 1888. With
such a record in the past is it not safe to
predict that the Democratic majority
next Tuesday will require four large
figures to represent it?
From the organization of Ramsey
county lis officers have been largely
taken from the Democratic majority,
and in all the years that have elapsed
since never one failed to do his duty by
the people Where can such an
other record be found in the
history of any other country
in the country And this is the record
that the Democracy of "old Ramsey
propose to maintain i'll the future. The
Democrats rule i'll this county and they
realize it. because they have always
given the people good government.
Efficient, accommodating and honest
tnen have been placed on guard. and
the prosperity of the county is largely
due to this fact.
Under the circumstances it is not at
all surprising that the voters of Ramsey

One of the oldest residents OF this city,
George Mitsch was never known
to do dishonest or dishonorable
act. He has always made faithful
public officer, and, indeed, it was on
this account that this organ commenced
to abuse him. Mr.. Mitsch declined to
allow the organ in question to plumber
the county to the tune of 5000 per month
