Mr. McEnery's Reply to an Article In 8
Sunday Paper.
P3itor of the DFMoCRAT.

Editor OF the DEMOCRAT: -
In to-day's issue of the newspaper called
the Globe is a series of statements or mis-
statements that really astonished me; for
how could anyone, even my bitterest
enemy, if have one, which it appears I
have. concoct such tissue of falsehoods.
| positively assert l never valued a farm
for any landlord in Ireland since the COM
mencement of the application of the lana
act to Ireland in 1881.
If the people who are living near my
present residence are offended at my not
calling on them, can't help that and they
may know why.
4 young woman in distant part of the
country, got her hair cut, which act l my
sef denounced in the land league rooms
in no very measured terms. With regard
to the OConnell club in this city l may
say I was not there on Friday last. Some
evening late last week member asked me
to see the room. l promised to speak in
their room on Sunday the 18th inst. I
never asked the club to parade the streets
in my behalf. l heard they were to do so,
for which 1 feel deeply grateful to them.
l thought I would get a small respite
from the landlords oppression in free
country, but it appears the spy and in-
former is in our midst, but let him or his
my life for the past thirteen years went in
direct opposition to the landlords and in
favor of down trodden tenantry.
Your Obedient Servant,
L. j. 2. MCENERY.
P. S. If the parties who have made
these charges are ashamed to give their
names let them attend the lecture and l
will answer publicly any question put to
me by anyone, 1 don't care who, MS 1 can
defy their false statements.

Town Clerk McNIahon has added another
young lady to the staff of clerks. She is
Miss Mary Conroy, Il graduate in the re-
cent High school class. Owing to the eX-
ira work of registration of dogs and the
overwhelming amount of tax liens to be
recorded this addition was necessary.
Town Clerk McMahon also finds th"t
several changes in the vault are required.
There are any number of deeds which
have been recorded and do not require
the protection of the vault and
which occupy space that could otherwise
be utilized. These with the cabinet which
contain them will be removed to the outer
office. In their place will be built anothe r
rack for the bound records, and desk
where researchers can look over the re-
cords without interrupting others. The
change will be desirable and good one
for everybody.

The Case Against Charles Miller Con-
tinued For Week.
In the police court to-day Charles Mil
Ter was charged with violating city or
dinance relative to putting a roof on
his building without license from the city
authorities. Attorney John W. Webster
entered a demurrer to the complaint, but
Judge Root ordered Mr. Miller put to plea.
He was absent but after short delay he
arrived and pleaded not guilty to the
charge. Attorney Webster then asked that
the court take judicial notice that the ordi-
nance in question was invalid. He wanted
to make some argument on the question
and asked for an adjournment. The case
was adjourned till next Monday.
The case of James II. Thurman, charged
with keeping open and selling on Sunday,
March IL, came up before Judge Root this
morning. Detective Egan and Officer
Blakeley testified that on the Sunday in
question they went up stairs to the laun-
dry over Murnan's saloon and found four
or five men sitting in a rear room. In
another room were found faucets in sew
eral of the wash tubs, from which beer
was being drawn. The next morning
they visited the place again and traced
pipes leading from the faucets down to the
cellar where they found thot they had been
connected with lager and ale casks. Miss
Erwin, who runs the laundry, said she
paid rent for only three rooms, the other
room she occupied by consent of the
owner without rent. Attorney Russell for
the plaintiff entered demurrer which was
Overruled, and the accused was fined SIS

strikers In the Coke Regions Ready For
Mischief Again.
UNIONTOWN, Pa, April eli the an
nounc2d programme of the strikers is car
red out today will be day of raiding
and rioting in the coke region. Opinions
differ as to the real likelihood of the strik-
ers making good their alleged purposes tC
terrori2e the region again. Mass meetings
were held all over the southern end of the
region on Sunday, and they were largely
attended. The purpose of these meetings
on the face of things was to get the men
together to prepare for the threatened
marches on the plants in operation today.
Against the avowed purpose of the strik'
ers to drive out the workers again today
their declarations even going to the extent
of telling just how and where the work
would be begun. it is urged that if more
rioting was really intended the prospective
rioters would not be so glib in advertising
it in advance.
The strikers promise to make it general
all over the region. Two thousand mel
of the turbulent element encamped last
night at Mountain View park professedly
ready for the raid. News reached here
that the strikers are planning to shut of
the pumps at the Oliver plant and flood
the mine. If this is done, the works can
not be operated again under five months
This thing has been done once before il
the history of the coke region strikes. AL
together the situation is such that the au
thorities, while protesting assurance that
the worst is over, are manifestly anxious
about the preparations the strikers arr
making, and the developments of the next
"a hours will be anNiously awaited.

At the adjourned meeting of the demo
cratic town committee Saturday night,
everything was put in readiness for the
primaries tomorrow. Chairman Manville
presided and all the members were pres
ent. 1t was voted that the committeeman
of each ward name moderator and
checker, and that all candidates have an
equal representation in the poll officers.
Committeeman Russell named Thomas F.
Lawlor and John Butler as moderator and
checker in the second ward. Committee
man Collins named J. J. McAuliffe and +.
F. Bannon as moderator and checker in
the third ward. Committeeman Mailman
named James Fitzpatrick and John c. ALL
man as moderator and checker in the
fourth ward. Committeeman Dugan said
he was not prepared to name any one at
that time.
The voting places were arranged as fol-
lows: First ward, old police station; second
ward, booth at northeast corner of the
green; third ward, police court room:
fourth ward, store in p Holahan's build
ing formerly occupied by relief bureau.
Chris Strobel called at the DEMOCRAT
Office to-day and requested the publication
of statement. it having been announced
that he would run at the primaries He
says he is not Il candidate. Perhaps he
would have entered the race had there
been time to make preparations, but forty
eight hours was not sufficient time for any
candilate to get ready. Mr. Strobel also
denounced the open election system, say
ing that it would be impossible to distin-
guish between republicans and democrats
hard feelings would result and the party
would suffer. He was not in favor of a
primary, but if it must be held the nomi-
nation should be made at a convention of
delegates elected at the primaries.
Another meeting of the town committee
will be held to night. There was a move
ment on foot to-day, in which prominent
democrats were inter ested, to hold n meet
ing tonight and protest against the phi
maries. As all arrangements for the pri-
maries are completed. however. it is not
probable that anything will be done by the
objectcrs.
