CRUEL WHITE CAPS.
A Man and His Wife Horribly Beaten
I'm bartholomew.


COLUMBUS. Aug. Especial
Waymansville, Monday night eight
men, with faces blackened, went to the
residence of Andy Schrader and covered
him with revolvers.
A part Of the gang held him and
whipped him with hickory switches,
while others pulled his wife out of
doors. and, denuding her, whipped her
in horrible manner. leaving her bleed
ing from head to foot. She claims to
have recognized three Of the parties as
her neighbors, but refused TO name
them. Schrader and his wife are re-
spectacle, but their domestic relations
are not pleasant.
Mrs. Schrader's wounds were so Sc
we're on Tuesday that she was unable to
leave her home until late in the even
ing, when she came to Waymansville to
her physician, who rendered her what re-
lief he could. All the excuse the mid
night assailants offered was that she
was quarrelsome and hard to. get along
with in the neighborhood. This was
news to her, as no one mad before eau
toned her regarding her obnoxious tenn
per or disposition.
While in the presence of her physi-
clan and a number of citizens of Way
Evansville Mrs. Schrader accused her
husband with having = few weeks be-
fore numerically beaten her, and this
caused a surprise as we'll as did the ac-
count Of the unmerciful whipping she
received. She also stated that her hus-
band did not think she had az all times
treated his father in the proper manner
There is another secret about the affair
which, if true, casts discredit on certain
parties. This will possibly come out in
the courts in the future, as Mrs
Schrader claims to know two of the par
ties, and says that she will prosecute
them at the coming term of court.
This the husband opposes, but the
wife will push the matter as soon as she
is able to come to the city, when more
of the facts will be ascertained.

GILBERTON, Pa. Aug. 22.-The tear
ing up Of the Schuylkill traction COM
pany's tracks here last night by the
borough officials resulted most disas-
trously. When the company officials
heard Of the action of the Gilberton
people they Immediately sent a force Of
men to try and effect an amicable settle
ment. When the break in the road was
reached President r. Z. Jones of the
traction company, with Richard Amour
Of Shenandoah, chief Of the company's
police, got off the car and in a few mo-
ments had effected a settlement and the
work of tearing up tracks was stopped.
In the car were a number Of men taken
on at Girardville, members Of the ma
tional guard, who had with them rifles
belonging TO the company. While the all
way officials were engaged in conversing
with the borough officers some of the
crowd tainted the men on board the
car and called out "Girardville militia"
A man named Briggs of Girardville
stepped out and said: Here we are"
Accompanying his salution with an oath
and leveling his rife he fired into the
crowd. killing Richard Paifhtt. aged
twenty-five, single, a spectator. Chief
Amour and President Jones had settled
the trouble and Briggs shot over
Amour's shoulder.
This Immediately enraged the people
and stones were fired; shots from the
car became general, and for a while a
most terrific battle ensued. Chief Amour
tried to subdue the trouble and while
in the act of stopping his men was shot
in the breast and died this afternoon.
1t is supposed he was shot by one Of
his own men.
The battle ragged for an hour or moro
until the cooler-headed people Of Gilber-
ton prevailed upon the crowd to dis
perse and the dead and injured were
looked after. In addition 10 Paiffitt.
William Hughes, aged nineteen, an on
locker, was shot and instantly killed;
Richard Connors was shot in the hand
and leg. not dangerous; Evan David re-
ceived a shot in the leg which will have
to be amputated. James Hullihan had
his skull fractured BY a stone and may
die.
Briggs. who started the riot. was shot
by a companion accidentally, and re-
ceived scalp wound, and was wounded
in the leg. When the trouble had
quiet down Briggs escaped and, running
toward Mahoney Plane. hid in a barn,
but was captured and together with Ar
I thur Wiville, also a member of the
Girardville militia, was taken TO the
Pottsville Jail.
The people about Gilberton were in
furiated at the action Of the railway
men, none of whom, they claim, were
officials of the company. Some were
employees and others were outsiders
picked up solely for the purpose of
lighting. This is shown in the fact that
rifles were borrowed from members of
the Girardville militia.
Everything was quieted down when
the railroads force was withdrawn and
outside Of an excited populace talking
over the disturbance, nothing has trans
pired to cause any repetition Of the
trouble.
Sheriff Wall Of Schuylkill county is
now in possession of the tracks to pre-
vent any disturbance which might arise
tonight.

THE PLATFORM.
A Ringing Declaration of True Dem
ocrntic Principles.


The report Of the committee on resolu-
tions was now called in order but the
committee not being ready the audience
called for John p. Irish, formerly of
Iowa but now Of California, who was
seated on the platform. Mr.. Irish re-
sponded with an extended speech on old
time and modern democracy. While Mr.
Irish was speaking the committee on
resolutions entered and Chairman Couch
read the following report, which was
unanimously adopted:

lation OF the republican party and to
bring about an era OF national and indi-
nate financial stringency is the direct
legacy OF republican administration. 1t
is the logical result of the Mckinley tariff,
legislation for the avowed benefit of
classes against the masses. of preference
OF the Tlcn over the poor IN legislation, and
OF corruption, combination and bOssism. 1t
Is these things which have combined to
shake credit, TO foment distrust, TO par
alyze business and to create panic. The
attempt TO shift the responsibility for the
present unfortunate state Of affairs upon
the democratic administration, which has
been in place less than six months, is
futile and absurd.
-Four years ago a democratic administra-
ton left TO Its successor a surplus Of $780,
10000. The republican administration left
the present financial trouble among the
people and empty treasury.
Taxation OF the whole people for the ben

dishonest in application. We denounce
this policy and reiterate our devotion to
the cause of tariff reform set forth in the
platform adopted by the democratic ma

we urge congress TO give the country early

An action was begun this morning be-
fore Chief Justice Scdgwick and II jury,

was formerly manager of the New York
Trade School.
Monroe, who is represented by Lawyer
A, ". Hcrkins. alleges that in May, 1890.
while living with his wife, Mary +. Mon
roe. the r~E-captain wilfully Contrivod To
injurc him, deprived him of his wifc's
comfort and assistance. onticcd her nwav
from his home, which caused her to live
apart from him and harhorcd her against
his consent and opposition, and that she
was under the influence of the defendant.
Lawyers abraham Levy and *. Henry
Rosenberg, for the defense, make "A gen
eral denial Of tn allegations. they clatm
that the p%lHtntiif did not live happily

of the trOubl" originated from religious

roe. says in his affidavit that he fol
lowed his hroth"r-in-lnw for II number

had Monroe expelled from the regiment
for using prOfunp language towards him.
Mrs. Monroe was in the habit ,f attend
ing the drills at the armury. and In that
way became acquainted with De War.
In June last Monroe had De Wan ar
rested on n charge of assault. When the
case came up in the Special Sessions. he
