The Republicans are at their old
tricks. They sent out to the papers
a dispatch to the effect that Mrs.
Lease said "a vote for Weaver is a
vote for Cleveland in Kansas; that
her desire is for the Populists to
vote fer Harrison electors. Mrs.
Lease telegraphed New York
paper as follows:
The specials going the rounds of
the press in regard to an interview
in which | am reported as having
advised the Populists to vote for
Harrison, or that vote for Weaver
was vote for Cleveland, are un-
qualifi9dly false. l would consider
it public calamity for either Har
rison or Cleveland to be elected.

Gag Law.

Plutocracy wants a gag law.
Something like the condition of al
fairs in Russia would do for starter
Too many reform papers are spring
ing up. People do too much think
ng-especially the common people.
Working people have no right to
think. If a working man thinks,
he often finds that for every dollar
of wealth he created he only receiv-
ed five cents and this thought
leads to another thought, and thai
is, somebody has pocketed the re-
mainder of the dollar, for it could
not have evaporated. And still
other thoughts follow. Who has
possession Of the ninety-five cents !?
and how was possession gained !!
Thinking leads to expression, and
tie man who has the ninety-fve
cents becomes alarmed at the pros
pect of discovery. It's the man who
has the ninety-fve cents who wants
the gag law wants 1t for the man
with the five cents. The man who
has the ninety-fve cents believes in
division and silence. The man who
has only five cents is not afraid of
investigation, criticism, censure or
condemnation. The man who is
afraid of investigation is selfcon-
demned Truth and righteousness
court the closest scrutiny. Light
illumines itself. 1t has no hidden
part and before it fee the shadows
of darkness. The government that
shuns scrutiny is badly in need Of
scrutiny, and the man who calls for,
a muzzle for speech or press is eth
er fool or scoundrel The man
who thinks has brains, and thought
must have expression, as natural
outlet. Dam the flow of speech,
and you dry the stream of human
intellect.
Down the man who wants gag
law

A COLLIBRY HORROR
Many Miners Drowned Near E :c POttsville, Pa.
THE OLD WORKINGS GAVE WAY
Twelve Men Known to be Lost, and the ~ List May Be Larger.

No Explanation Given as to the Cause

 Company Which Owns the Mine, Are
 Tapping the Great Wolf Creek COllIory,
 Which is Filled With Water.
 GINEBsvMLE, Pa, April 21.-Thia town, located about four miles from Pottsville is greatly excited over 8 horri- ble accident late yesterday afternoon at the LytlO colliery, whereby ten or twelve have lost their lives by the flooding of the mine with an immense body of water that burst through the old workings. The accident occurred just about the time the shifts were changing. The ex- act number of men drowned and their names cannot be given.
 The place where the accident occurred is Q new coal operation that is being opened on an immense scale by the Ly- tie Coal Company, the principal stock holders of which are the Pennsylvania Railroad officials and Scranton capital ists.
 The works are located on Primrose Mountain several miles northwest of Minersville and tap the Great Wolf Creek Colliery, which has laid idle for some years owing to large accumulation of water. About two years ago the pres. snt operators with unlimited means commenced tho reopening of the tract. and have spent thouSands of dollars in opening up new slopes.
 Gangways are being pushed. out from these slopes on all sides of the new work ings. The old water lies in it, and 1t is the bursting through of one or more of these deposits without warning that caught the unfortunate miners while at work.
 Besides the American miners there were a large number of Italians and Hungarian laborers ct work inside, and 1t is thought now that at least six of them are also drowned. The survivors cannot say where the water came from, but they were surrounded suddenly on all sides with water, and whilst their surveyors and bosses were year careful, somebody evidently has blundered.
 There were several score of men inside at the time and some of these swam out, while others arc said to have been heard talking as if they had reached a high poit above the water.

Beginning of Her Trial for the Murder
 OE Her Youthful Rusband.
 NEW YORK, April 21.-Annie Walden, the 21-year-old girl who is charged with the premeditated murder of her 20- year old husband. James Walden, son of Peter Walden, the horse trainer, on the night of Oct. S1. 1891, on Broadway, has been placed on trial for her life in tn 6 Court of Oyer and Terminer.
 The girl, it is charged, got young Wal den to leave house of questionable char acter on the night of the murder in thirty-eight street and shot him. The prisoner is Q pretty woman. She is about feet 3 inches tall, has a small, neat figure, and very pretty brown eyes and hair.
 In court to-day the frail little creature was dressed in deep mourning, and wore Q black vail completely hiding her face 5 She seems to have had no girlhood, for she had attained . objectionable sort of fame long before aha married Jimmie Walden in Camden while both were on . spree last September.
 Annie was known to men who fre- Quent the race tracks as Kittie Marshall, who bet her money on the horses just like Q man, only more rOcklessly and with phenomenal luck.
 She had been the heroine of at least one haison before she met Jster Wal den'S boy, and once called herself Mrs. Katie Dolnar, in honor or otherwise of . Brooklyn man with whom she had lived.
 Mrs. Walden was accompanied by three women friends. She was looking much better and brighter than she has since her case was called. She said that she felt much better, too. Her conf1ne- ment in the Tombs told terribly on her.
 Before the case was resumed Judge Ingraham sentenced John Osmond, who was convicted last week of the murder of his wife, to death. Osmond shot and killed his wife Mary and his cousin, John c. Burchell, at 609 Third avenue on October 5, 1891. Jealousy was at the bottom of it. .e
