The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1892-09-03

The LETTER appearing at the head of
this column from George w. Esser
denying, emphatically that he has or
had a compact with b. j. Kuntz to help
elect him should settle forever all
question as to Mr.. Esser's loyalty to
the Democratic candidate for Assembly
MIR. w. f. Biery, for whom he will use
every effort for election. Mr., Jonathan
Kistler also was reported as having
pledged himself TO the Republican can
didate but this lie is also nailed by Mr..
Kistler who has promised to do all in
his power for Mr.. Biery. There are a
few other similar instances where it is
claimed that Mr., Kuntz will get re-
putable Democratic support but evil
IDENTIFY like the former instances are
only little campaign lies to help
smooth the way TO the Legislature
that is daily growing rougher for "Our
Ben" These denials are timely and
settle all dispute that Mr.. Biery has
not the earnest support of all Demo
Gratis irrespective Of whatever faction,
The friends of sour Ben" begin to
realize this and are not so ready to
claim everything for their chieftian.
There is no reason for Democrats to
vote against Mr.. Biery, he is honest and
in every point the equal If not the peer
of Afr. Kuntz who has always been a
radical and scheming politician and
can not lay claim 10 one Democatic
vote, on the other side, however, promi-
nent Republicans, leading citizens in
the county have given to Mr.. Biery
their sincere promises Of fheartysupport
and he will poll a very large vote and
OF course, be elected. To this end It is
the duty of every Democrat to hold
steady and vote right. Let there be no
quibbling or petty quarrels. Get to
gether and keep together so that little
Carbon need not be ashamed OF her
self after election day.
Biery must be the next member of
Assembly from Carbon county.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Senator PETER Wants a Bureau
of Loans Established.

TO BE Conducted in Connection
with the Treasury Department.
The Question of Sunday Closing
of worlds Fair Before the House
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The house went
into committee of the whole on the sundry
civil bill pending the question of the Sun
day closing of the worlds fair. After va
rious amendments and substitutes looking
to the exclusion of the sale of liquor on
the ground, exhibitions of nude or partially
nude pictures or statuary, or allowing
games of chance or lotteries within mile
Of the fair grounds, or the sale of cards,
dice, etc., had been lost, the following was
adopted: Provided, that the government
exhibit at the Worlds Columbian Exposi-
ton shall not be open to the public on Sun
day.
Senator PETER introduced a bill to in
crease the currency, to provide for the cir
culation, to reduce rates interest and estab-
lish a bureau Of loans. 1t pro-
Yides for a bureau of loans within the
treasury department, to be conducted
by three commissioners, the bureau to es-
tablish loan agencies at the capital of
every state and territory. The business of
these agencies will be to lend money to the
people, no loan to be less than $1C0 or more
than $2500 to any one person or family,
and no loan to be granted except to buy or
save their home. Funds to carry out the
act to be provided by the issue of treasury
notes to the amount of a dollar and a half
for every dollars worth Of gold and silver
coin and bullion belonging to the United
Gfnfna Tho hill rrobfb bita hanlro
rations from taking more than five per
cent. interest, or four per cent. where the
loan extends over year.
The committee proceeded to the cOnsid-
Grafton of the clause appropriating $4,000
for the enforcement of the Chinese exclu-
sion act. A substitute was offered by
Land, of California, pending the substi-
tute, appropriating $4,000 to prevent un-
lawful entry of Chinese, for the registra-
ton of Chinese now in the United States
and for the expenses of returning to China
all Chinese persons found unlawfully in
the United States. Bowers, of California,
said the democratic party could not de-
ceiYe people Of the Pacific coast, by pass
ing stringent exclusion act and then re-
fuslng to appropriate money to carry it
into effect. This action would show the
people that although the democrats were
in favor of a stringent law they opposed
its enforcement. Holman, of Indiana, in
opposing the substitute, stated that the
estimates for this service were only 100000.
Henderson, of Iowa, reminded the gem
tlemen that the Sunday civil bill was re-
ported to the house on May 2nd, and a
stringent dOuble-barreled exclusion bill
was passed three days afterwards, and for
that reason appropriations for carrying the
act into effect was not included in the esti-
mates. Geary said that when the Chinese
bill passed the house many republicans
found it convenient to be absent. They
could not fool the people in California, as
TO the position Of their party by getting up
a pretending desire for large appropriations.

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY,.
The Trial of DIR. Briggs Now in
Progress.


PORTLAND, Ore, May 26.-This il the first
cloudy day since the assembly convened.
As hearing of the parties in the case of
appeal Of the prosecuting committee
against the action of the presbytery of
New York in dismissing charges and speci-
fications in the heresy trial of Dr. Briggs
is about to proceed, the heavens frown
heavily with clouds. An immense
audience, which taxes the capacity
of the church where the assembly is
sitting, is here to greet the speakers. The
order is for an open address from appel
lants, reply by DR.. Briggs, and a rebuttal
by prosecution, each party being limited to
ninety minutes.
Devotional exercises were conducted as
usual by Mr.. Bolton, of Philadelphia.
Yesterdays minutes were read and ap-
proved. The giving of notices occupied
more time, so that it was ten minutes of 10
O'Clock when the moderator read from the
book of disciples, calling attention to the
solemn business of the assembly as a court
OF Jesus Christ, enjoining due deliberation
and warning the speakers that they must
not refer IN any way to the merits of the
Oaso' aS Guls WAS 10 De enJlrely cOnStitu--
tional argument. DR.. Birch, for appellant
then took the floor in behalf of himself
and colleagues.
In his address DR.. Birch gave some rea-
sons why the appellants have overleaped
the synod of New York. This court is
based upon the provision of section 1O2, of
the book Of discipline, that an appeal shall
generally be taken TO the next superior
Judiciary. 1t was claimed, first, that this
course Of procedure is constitutional. In
the form OF government chapter II, section
4 and 8, it states that the general assembly
shall receive and issue all appeals" and
shall have ''power of deciding in all con
troVersies respecting doctrine and disci-
pine.

the robbers drew revolYers and began
firing. Guard Wigg was slightly wounded,

EXPLOSION AT SEA.
Description Of the Destruction of
the St. Charles.

The Crew OF the FOundered ship
seeks Refuge in the small Boats
N.d Finally Reaches shore In
n Safety--The Captains Death.
SAN FRANoIsco, May 26.-The crew of
the ship St. Charles, which was blown up
at sea off the Oregon coast on the 18th, ar
rived here yesterday on the steamer Will
lamette Valley. The st. Charles left Ma
naimo with a cargo of coal May 18th and
experienced heavy seas for three days. On
the morning Of the 18th the second mate,
Mike Flynn, and Charles Lenberg, a
sailor, went to the forehatch to get some
potatoes, taking with them ships Ian
tern. Louis Strandberg, a sailor, spoke to
the men and saw the mate pass Lenberg a
lantern, and was reaching through a hole
in the forepart of the ship and was about
to crawl through when an explosion oc-
CURED and Flynn was lifted bodily in the
air. He fell at Strandberg's feet with a
great hole in his scalp and his legs were
burned to a crisp. Lenberg was thrown
back against the ladder and was terribly
cut and burned. Strandbergs beard was
singed by the flames which shot from the
hole, following the roar of the explosion.
Ned Riley, a sailor, who was on deck at the
time, states that when the explosion oc-
Cured the haWseTs of the main hatch
were hurled from the deck by
force and the deck opened wide. The
spanker boom was carried away the wheel

orally demolished. The rigging was on

tain Chapman was found pinned to the
floor in his cabin under an overturned sofa

he was in great agony. The men extri-
Gated him with difficulty from among the
timbers, and made haste to get into the
boats, as the vessel was sinking. There
were nineteen men divided among three
small boats. When last seen, the St.
Charles mainsail was afre and the ship
was laundering. The boats were two hun
dred miles from land, without compass,
but succeeded in reaching Cape Foul

NOT so RAD.
Reports of the Flood Damage said
TO be EXaggeraIed.


CHICAGO, May 26.-John Pierce, a real
estate dealer and railroad man of Sioux
City, is at the Grand Pacific, having Just
arrived from the West. "The reports of
food damages have been greatly exagger-
ated, J." said he. 1t is true that the flood
has done more damage than any we have
ever had there, but we have had higher wa
ter and more of it before. When we had
5000 people in Sioux City this food would
have done scarcely enough damage to have
been reported outside the city, but now we
have $4,000 inhabitants and the flats near
the city are, or were, thlckly covered with
cottages. 1t was there the damage was
done.
81 believe the dead will not number over
twenty, and all but six of those were chill
dren. Three little fellows were drowned in
one bed. Tits probable, too, that some of
those who are missing alni are supposed to
be dead may vet turn up all right. The
property damage, 1 think. will not exceed
100000 There was no need to solicit out
side aid. We could have raised sufficient
money for relief purposes without asking
any outside help. ] can't see what class Of
people it is that is doing it,"
