vooRHEss, SPEECH.
He Calls for Dlsoontinuance of tho
Purchase of Silver bullion.

fhrcnuho OF SILVER BuilfOns
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The an
nouncement that Mr.. Voorhees, was to
speak brought out full attendance of
Senators and crowded the galleries
The speech began at 1928 and closed at
p. m, and was listened TO from begin
ming to end with close and eager atten-
ton. Both on the floor and in the gal
leries there was but one attempt made to
divert Mr.. Voorhees, from the current Of
his speech, but he declined absolutely 10
yield to any interruption. There was
also but one manifestation of approval
from the galleries, and that was
promptly suppressed and its repetition
forbidden by the Vice President.
Mr.. Voorhees, said that such questions
as ratio were matters OF detail, but the
American people had declared that sill.
yer should not be demonetized and con-
traction take place on the basis of mono
metallism. Congress would establish a
fair ratio, and neither of the metals
would be dismissed. No effort would
be spared TO effect an international
agreement, but under no circumstances
would the laboring, debt-paying nine
tenths of the American people consent
w bhC uCDto VI ny dio-
troying half of the constitutional money.
As firm, unfaltering believer in BIZ
metallism, and as an undertaking sup
porter of the coinage and tho use of
both gold and silver as the standard
money of the country, without dis
elimination against either metal, MIR.
Voorhees, said he voted against the
passage of the Sherman act, and for the
same reason he would vote orits repeal.
The outcry in certain quarters at this
time that those who vote for the repeal
of this measure are enemies of silver as
money and in favor of its decentralization
was not only false as far as he was con-
cerned, but in the light of what had
happened in the past, it was absurd. In
this, the darkest day ever known for
| silver, he avowed his mistaken faith
that it would remain forever one of the
worlds great ard potential factors OF
finance, commerce, traffic and daily
business transactions. He favored the
repeal of the State bank tax, the sub.
stitution of government notes for ma
tional bank notes, praised pension pay
ments as happy agent of increasing
circulation and concluded with an APP
peal for confidence.

As result of the two wrecks railroad
traffic is seriously delayed This morn
ing the road was almost blockaded. A
dozen peach trains, which should have
come up last evening had not passed
through town at noon. Peach trains
bound for Jersey City were given the
right of way. Directly in front of pas
senger trains were four or five peach
trains and frequently the former were
run at speed hardly better than walk
ing. The peaches which should have ar
rived here early this morning will not
arrive until late this afternoon.

Confusion and Excitement in "a CHARTERS
Mil--A Striker Shot.
* Dlspatch - speciaI Wlres.


United Pross Dispatch By Special Wires.
PlTTsBuRG. Pa, Aug. 23.--Yesterday the
Lockhart Iron and Steel Company started
their mills at CHARTERS with non-union
workmen. The firm was willing to paw
the wages provided by the Amalgamated
Association scale, but were not willing
that the rules of that association should
prevail in their works. Enough non
union workmen were secured to operate
the plant in part.
This morning Charles Snyder, a nom
union workman. went to CHARTERS at s
O'Clock. With him were two men whom
he intended to put to work in the mill
When the trio reached the main gate of
the mill yard they found a lnrge crowd of
the old workmen there.
They tried to prevent Snyder and his
companions from entering, whereupon
Snyder drew revolver and fired. The
bullet found lodgment in the shoulder of
Joseph Brownhill, q striker, and he fell to
the ground. In an instant the utmost
confusion reigned and with cries of rage
the strikers rushed at Snyder. The latter.
however, with his companions, succeeded
in getting into the mill-yard and closed
the gates. Shortly afterwards Snyder was
placed under arrest. Brownhill is 40 years
OF age and has large family. His wound
is serious but is not considered fatal.
Lnyder is now locked up in the office of
Squire Bryan. The building is surrounded
by crowd OF angry strikers but il is not
thought any violence will be offered.

Tho Peach Basket Famine.

Special CorrespondenceO t Gazette and journal
BRIDGEvILLE, Aug. 23.-The peach
basket famine, which has been expected,
is now on. Long lines of wagons have
been drawn up at Patton's mill, but
they departed with 25 to 30 baskets only
as their share of the very small supply.
The makers are doing everything to in
crease the supply, but $4,000 to $4,000
baskets of peaches are being shipped
daily, so it isn't likely that the supply
can be greatly augmented.

THE AsT0R cur CAGE.
The Visilant Leaves the Pilgrim Behind
Hull Down.

NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 22.-The cup
defenders Vigilant and Pilgrim sailed
the second race for the AstUr prizes to-
day. The Colonia left the harbor in
the early morning for Bristol for i'm
portant alterations.
The course was triangular, ten miles
to q leg, and as good luck would have
it, the first was to windward. The
Vigilant won, having the Pilgrim almost
hull down as she crossed the finish
line. Thus the question of superiority
between the bronze centreboard and fin
keel is very clearly established. The
Pilgrim may be altered with benefit,
butt will never be possible for her to
give the Vigilant close race, whatever
the conditions of the weather.
The race figures are:

John I. Johnston of Thompson, New
Castle county, Del, desires to con-
tradict the statement in recent issue
of the Philadelphia Record, which said
that all opposition in regard to the new
boundary line as laid down by the com
missions of Delaware and Pennsylvania
had been Withdrawn. Mr.. Johnston is
one of the expatriated Delawareans
whose property is on the line. He sent
the following to the Record:
In reference to remarks in your issue of
August 18th, in regard to the State line,
dividing Delaware and Pennsylvania say
ing all opposition has been Withdrawn, !
beg leave to say such statement is utterly
false, and without any foundation in fact.
The citizens through the peculiar manage
ment of the commissioners were induced
to keep quiet, but the time will come
when the matter will be shown up in Its
true light, and most likely will end in the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
