a pleasant episode. fitting finale
of our great fair took place in room No
81 of the Baldwin House, last evening.
The chief marshal and assistant mar
shall and the race starting Judge all as
sembled there, exactly upon whose in
vitation no one seems to know. From
this fact what followed made it all the
more pleasant and surprising. The
gentlemen had hardly been seated be-
fore Mr.. John W. Dodd, one of the as
sistant marshals arose and in a most
felicitous speech in behalf Of himself
and associates, presented Col. Berrett,
of Carroll county, the chief marshal.
with most magnificent silk umbrella,
the Colonel receiving the same with
much graciousness and appropriate
remarks. To say that he was surpris-
ed does not express it, but when Col.
Towner Schley, the chief marshal of
the race department fell victim, y
and who every one knows comes from
the hospitable county OF Berkeley, w.
Va, " surprises reached their zenith.
DR.. j, l.. Windolph, of Darlington,
Md, the starting Judge, arose and in
words that oyercame his feeling refer
red to his associations with the Colonel
during the past four years at the Hag-
erstown Fairs, and then in behalf
of those present presented the gen
tleman with a handsome riding whip.
The Colonel accepted it with remarks
that showed he appreciated the gift
from the depths of his heart, coming
as il did and in the manner it did.
Those present on the occasion were
Col Berrett, ehiefmarshal, Of Freedom,
Carroll county Col Towner schley,
chief marshal Of the races DR.. J. L.
Windolph, and the following assistant
marshals: John w. Dodd, of Martins
burg, berkeley county Thos. Jones,

THE MANAGEMENT SATISFIED.
The Present Exhibition Surpasses its
Former Ones.

Former Ones.
Friday was the last day Of the Hag-
erstown fair. The present exhibition,
in several features, surpassed its pre-
decessors. The attendance was fully
up to that of other years, and the ex-
hibits were as attractive and varied as
those of any other fair held there. The
managers are congratulating them
selves upon the success of the present
exhibition. The splendid weather ad-
ded much to the enjoyment of the visi-
tors. The attendance Friday was by
no means as large as Thursday; still,
the grounds were filed with thousands
of sight-seers. The racing Friday was
again exceptionally fine.
The first was a trotting race, 2:30
class, purse S400. Oscar W., Alto
Patchen, Johnny B. and Calhoun start
ed. Oscar W. won in three straight
heats. Johnny B. second. Time,

The second was a pacing race, open
to all, purse $500. The following en-
tered: Madge Miller, fannie Wilkes,
Fannie b. and Big Injun. Fannie B.
won in three straight heats. Time,
2:274, 2:248. 2:244. Fannie Wilkes

the old workingmen at reduced rates

the old workingmen at reduced rates
or to procure high intelligence for the
old or, il necessary, high rates. 1t
vas solved by procuring the services
Of educated men, some Of them col
lege graduates, and few Of them pro-
fessional men.
One Of the causes Of trouble at Home
stead resulted from the improved ma
chiDery adopted by the company. The
ton rates adopted before the machinery
came into use were found to give about
$50 Of the 1000 men very large week
~ wages by reason Of the increased
output Of the machines. Consequent
~ an attempt was made to reduce
the rates, and this attempt was one
cause Of the trouble.
The company now admits that the
workingmen are entitled to reap the
benefit Of the larger output if they have
the training and Intelligence necessary
to the management of complicated and
dangerous machinery. And at the
same time it admits that high wages do
not depend on tariff taxes but on skill
and intelligence. The company will
pay its few hundred leading men high
wages because Of this. The tariff is
the same as that under which it pro-
posed to reduce the pay Of its former
workmen, but it is already to pay men
who excel its old employees, whose
product will be greater, and who are ex-
peeted to greatly increase and advance
the improvement of machinery.
In a word, the law and philosophy OF
high wages are being happily illustrat-
ed at Homestead.

4 MINE EXPLODES.
Five Men Killed and six Seriously In
iured.

PoTTSvILLE, PA, October 15.-The
number of men of killed and injured
by the explosion of gas at the Phila-
delphia and Reading Company's Ster-
ling Run Collery, at Shamo1in, is now
known to be eleven. Of these five are
dead and the remaining six are so bad
ly burned and mutilated that small
hopes for their recovery are entertain
ed. When the explosion occurred it
was accom- panied by a heavy fall of
coal, rock and debris, which entomed
five of the miners. A rescuing band
was at once organized, but owing to
the unsafe condition of that part of the
mine in which the explosion had oc-
CURED, and the presence Of black damp,
their progress was necessarily slow. Re
lief parties were formed, and early this
morning the last body was reached and
brought to the surface. Many narrow
escapes We're made by miners working
in parts Of mine near where the explo-
sion occurred, but all the men are now
out
The correct list Of the dead and in
iured Of the disaster at the Reading
Company's Sterling Run Colliery, at
Shamokin, is as follows:
Dead Thomas O'Gara, whose body
was the first recovered yesterday after
noon.
Miners Benjamin Thomas, Samuel
Collins, James Doney and John Baca-
yidge, all Of whom were missing and
were found by the rescuers entombed
by the terrible fall of coal and rock
which followed the explosion. They
were taken out at an early hour this
morning, but were so badly injured

Mr.. Evans and the Charge that He is
Knight of Labor.

To the Editor of the I,stelligencer
Sir: Enclosed please find copy of
resolutions, with request to publish
the same in your paper.
BY ORDER OF ASSEMBLY.

At regular meeting held at then

WHEREAS, it has come to the atten-
ton of the Assembly, through the pub
lie press, that our worthy brother
George F. Evans, who has been, by
the President of the United States, APP
pointed postmaster of Martinsburg, w
Va, and has been accused of being g
Knight of Labor as though it We're 8
crime to be a member of so noble an or
der,
1t is therefore resolved by this As
sembly that Mr.. J. Nelson Wisner il
bringing this charge against our broth
er, has struck blow at an organiza
ton, which is recognized by all Jai
minded men, as an institution worthy
the respect of the American people
and one that the Assembly consider!
an insult to any workingman in this
broad land, and whether his name il
enrolled upon our banner or not, anC
the person who made the charge SHOULD
be held in contempt by every working
man in this country.
By order of the Assembly
1t viii be seen that Mr.. Wisner'
professed friendship for American la
Dor organizations has not been appre
ciated by organized labor in his owl
locality, where they know him best.
