WHALEN WAS DUPED.
A Quick-Witted Italian Gets Away from
the County Detective.

| County Detective Whalen was deluded
| by very cunning ruse on Tuesday night
by which an Italian murderer escaped
arrest by sacrificing his brother to the
law in his stead. About a month ago,
William Resa, then living in Pittston at
the boarding house of Ferdinand In
gruth, had the keeper of the house
arrested on the charge of stealing some
money from his trunk. Ingruth was
held under bail for trial at court. He
was innocent of the charge, and claimed
it was instituted because Resa owed him
large board bill and hoped that by
bringing suit against him, 1ngruth would
be frightened into settling.
After his release Ingruth went to New
York and quietly made some investiga-
tons which resulted in the discovery
that Resa was wanted by the authorities
of that city for killing fellow country
man in brawl. Returning to Pittston,
Ingruth communicated with the italian
consul at Philadelphia and told him
where Resa was.
The consul advised the New York
authorities of the matter and they placed
the case in the hands of County Detec-
tive Whalen. He went to Pittston with
the warrant, and after some investiga-
ton found where Resa lived. He was
not home, but the woman pointed to two
men coming down the street and
Whalen hurried to meet them and
asked: (Which of youi is William Resa?"
: William pointed to his brother.
Whalen at once produced handouts
and before the frightened Italian real
lied what was happening the irons were
about his wrists and took him to Jail. 1t
was found next morning that the pris-
oner was Joseph Resa, brother of the
murderer, who had arrived in this coun-
try two weeks ago and cannot speak a
word of English. He was released and
a search instituted for William, but he
had departed.

Macbioists Refuse Piece work.

A proposed change in wages at the
Central Railroad of New Jersey machine
shops in Ashley which was announced
on Tuesday morning at once caused
trouble. Heretofore the men employed
at stripping engines were paid by the
day, but in accordance with the change
they are to be paid by the piece. By
the former method the cost of stripping
an engine was $50, but by the new one
established the stripping gang will re-
ceive but $12.
The change was not approved by the
men, and when the first engine to be
stripped arrived in the shops the men
refused to touch it, and at quitting time
they had not changed their determine
ton. The men are all members of the
international Uuion of Mechanics, and
according to the rules of the organiza-
tion the members are not permitted to
work by the piece.

From the Plain Speaker.
Coal and Iron Policeman Weisinger,
while travelling along South Pine street
on Monday, was attracted by the means
of boy who was leaning against an old
iron lamp post. When he reached the
boy he found him fast to the
post with his tongue and was afraid to
pull away lest he should lose that mem
Der. He was suffering very much, but
the policeman with the assistance OF
another person, hurriedly got some warm
water and soon they liberated the boy,
but some flesh from the tongue still ad-
hered to the post.
The boy, whose name in Harry Yoder,
is pupil in one of the public schools of
the city, and the teacher one day last
week lectured the children on cruelty to
animals, She spoke of how some cruel
teamsters went to the stables in the
morning and put the frosty bit of the
bride in the mouths of the horses and
every time this was done the beasts suf
fered terribly, as the cold bit adhered to
their tongues. This thing worked on
the mind of young Harry, and he
thought when he came to an iron lamp
post which glistened with frost particles
that he would convince himself regard
ing the tongue-sticking business, and he
did with the result just stated.

Coal Company's Generosity.

The Lehigh Valley Coal Company on
Tuesday distributed funds among the
ten widows and many orphans of the
miners killed last July in the York
Farm colliery, near Pottsville. To each
widow was given Sl56 for year and to
each child was given S52. No suits for
damages had been brought and the com
pany's action was purely gratuitous.

REED RENOUNCEs MCKINLEYIsM.-
The IndeGAppeal, independent

1.-The ranks of the tariff reformers
have been swelled by the addition OF
the Hon. Thomas B. Reed, of Maine,
whose bolt from McKinleyism is now
one of the many political sensations OF
the day. Mr.. Reed comes out fatty
and says that the country does not
need another such tariff law as that
which bore the name of the governor
of Ohio
The Importance of Mr.. Reeds decla-
ration cannot be overestimated. He
has presidential aspirations, and his
course indicates that he would seek
the nomination of his party upon an
issue Numerically opposed to that
upon which Gov. Mckinley is conduct
ing his campaign in the west. John
Sherman, too, announces that he is
not in favor of such high rates of pro-
lection as we had under the Mckinley
law.
With such distinguished Republicans
as Reed and Sherman abandoning
what has heretofore been the cardinal
principle of their party, the Republi-
cans are at once put on the defensive,
and the Democrats are of course pleas.

Chairman Wilson, in the North amer
lean ReUieaO, has very forcibly pre-
sented some of the differences between
the Democratic and Republican par
ties. He says that the Republican
party by its traditions and tendencies,
theteachings of its leaders, past and
present, and its whole history, has a
steady momentum toward sectional
ism, high government, interference
with local rule and local control OF
elections, eXtravagant expenditures,
heavy taxes, bounties. subsidies and
eXorbitant protection. Ideas of gov
ernmental meddling and Capitalization
dominate it; class interests hold it
firmly to evil courses" These things
are Incompatible with pure and free
government. The American people
need none of these things; only small
minority really desires them.
The Democratic party, according to
Mr.. Wilson, and as everybody who is
we'll posted about the matter knows,
by principle and tendency, by the
tradition of its elders and its steady
momentum, tends to economy, to low
taxes, to revenue tariffs, immediate
responsibility to the people, and no
Federal interference with local rule
These are the very essentials of pure
and free government If the people
want these things-and surely they
need them more than at any other
time in their history-that party, and
that party alone, is the instrument
they must use to secure them. Upon
other great issues also the scale turns
in it's favor. 1t is as trustworthy as It's
opponents on the monetary question,
while its ancient financial traditions
are sounder than those of any great
and long lived party we have ever had.
And--what is truly a browning merit
it is, and ever has been, national
party.-FTedericksbWrg Star.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER "a
Republican Confidence.

Chairman Babcock, of the Republi-
can Congressional Committee, expresses
confidence that the Republicans will
have safe majority in the next House
that will give them the organization of
the House, and majority of the States
to enable them to elect their candidate
for the Presidency in case the election
is thrown into the House where each
State casts a single vote. After the
9th of November, his opinion will
probably undergo great change. His
confidence should incite every Demo-
crat to go to the polls on the day of
election. The Democrats may allow
their apathy to defeat them.

Wool Going Up In Price.

Since the passage of the Democratic
tariff taking the duty off wool, the
demand for wool has increased and
consequently the price.
Dunn's Review says the sales of wool
for the five weeks ending October I'd
were "a .279, 300 pounds against 49,
IT'S during the same period last year.
Ohio is a great wool State, and the
Republicans have endeavored to make
the wool-growers of that State believe
that putting wool in the free list would
ruin the interests of the wool growers.
But such is not the case.
The american Farmer and Farm
Neaos of Springfield, Ohio, for October
says
''Stick to your flock, -" is good motto
just now, indeed, it is the 'opportuni-
typ for the thoughtful and far seeing
fiock-master. 1t is quite refreshing to
see among the fog and mist of sinister
environment now and then a wise
sheep man adding to his fiocks all his
farm capacity will carry. He knows
what he is about, and that expenditure
for sheep at prevailing prices will ere a
year tolls around return him more
than 100 per cent upon the investment
Tariff matters are settled and although
free wool has been declared, yet it has
since increased in price and wool deal
ers well know that the end of it's ap-
probation is not yet in sight; nor is
there any intimation that such is like
ly to occur very soon. Wooden manu-
featuring establishments that have
been idle are starting up again and
soon every wheel will be turning.
Manufacturers are large purchasers
just now, and their warehouses are
rapidly filling up with the fiber. A
prominent wool house of Boston said
in its report few days ago: Since the
tariff was settled wool has gone up
fully 10 per cent and the end is not yet
The market is strong and buoyant; and
although sales have not aggregated az
large as last week the demand for al
grades has been brisk and the volume
of business would certainly have beer
larger if there had been more wool fol-
sale. There is not the least doubt
that wool in the immediate future will
be on satisfactory basis, compared
with other things.
Without any politics in it whatever
for this occasion, it is nevertheless q
fact, as anomalous as it may seem
since 1895 every time the tariff went
up the price of wool went down, and
every time the tariff was reduced, the
price of wool went up"

Gen. Lee Sized nm the Case.

The Richmond Times says that the
Republican party is for protective
tariff, Reed is for the same, and he is
simply attempting to hoodwink and
deceive the people of Michigan when
he tells them that the Mckinley bill
was not, properly considered, a Repub
lican measure.
General Fitz. Lee sized up the case
exactly at Waynesboro on Thursday.
Our correspondent reports him as
commenting Tucker in earnest terms
for his part in fine repeal of the Federal
election laws. There was ne longer dan
ger from bayonets and troops and mar
shals, and the liberties of the people
were now secure He declared that if
Yost were sent to Congaess he would
undo all this. Everything would be
dearer, the South poorer, the North
richer. That they had no use for the
South except to remand it to a condi-
ton of slavery" That is the whole
case, when protective tariff is added.

Train In Texas Robbed.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 10, 1884,
The west bound Texas and Pacific
through express train for California,
leaving here at 900 this morning, was
robbed about noon to-day near Cor
don, seventy miles west of here. The
robbers secured about 100000 from the
Pacific Express Company, and but for
their inability TO open the safe of the
Texas and Pacific Company, contain
ing $4,000 in gold, would have made a
better haul.
Four men did the work. They came
upon a section gang about noon. cover
ed them with rifles and forced them to
spread the rails and flag the oncoming
train. The engineer and firemen were
then lined up with the section gang
and guarded, while two men entered
the express car and covered the mes
senger before he was aware of their
presence.
Messenger Marshall was ordered to
open the safe containing the money of
the Texas and Pacific Coal Company.
Telling them he could not do this, they
seized. pick and ruined the combina-
ton, remarking:-
''If we can't get the money, those
damned miners at Thurber shan't."
The robbers fled southwark and no
trace of them has yet been secured Re-
wards aggregating $1,000 have been Of
fered for their arrest The money Sc
cured was taken from the way safe.

Why Should Democrats go to the Polls
ON Nov. 6, 1894, and Vote.

1. They should do so, as the Demo
cratic party is now in power, in the
United States government, and has
commenced a much needed reform in
regard to the cOrruptions and in
novations by the Republicans,
during their thirty Years reign; to keep
the Democrats in power so as to enable
them to complete the reform com
menced, fully, and to restore the gov
eminent back to its normal condition,
according to the principles laid down
by the fathers of our country.
2. They should go and elect Demo
Gratis, as the prospect is good to do SO
throughout the country, to prevent
the restoration of the high taxation of
the Mckinley bill, which the Demo
cratic party has repealed, and which
reduces the tariff tax more than one
half.
3. They should go to the polls and
vote against the restoration of the
Federal supervision of the elections,
which the Democrats repealed, be-
cause it was contrary to the constitu-
ton, justice, and States rights.
4. They should go to the polls, so as
to vote against the re-introduction of
the unjust, extravagant policy of the
billion dollar Congress. which the
Democratic party has. reduced about
thirty millions of dollars, yearly.
5. They should go to the polls, to
vote against the restoration of the
high protection of the sugar trust,
which the Democratic party has just
reduced, and which should be further
reduced.
6. They should go to prevent the
restoration of all the unjust, uncon-
stitutional enactments which have
been recently repealed, because the
Republicans will go. to get their party
in power, SO as to be able to re enact
all these unjust, perverse, sectional
laws, SO as to benefit and promote GER
tain classes, so that they may keep in
power, to the detriment of the masses
who have been robbed and oppressed
for more than quarter of a century.
Surely these are reasons enough for
every Democrat to go to the polls and
vote. There should be no apathy, nor
Indifference. Now is the time to do
our whole duty, victory is in sight

The Ohio Rana Case.

Referring to the case at Washington
Courthouse, Ohio, the Richmond Dis
patch says
1.-THE Argyle-W committee will,
no doubt. be greatly shocked when
they hear what it was that the Ohioans
wished to do with one Dolby lcolored);
but for our part-'honest injun"-we
rather admire the Buckeye State men
for the spirit they showed, and we
grieve with them that five good men
should have been killed in order to save
the life of beastly fellow, who got a
very mild punishment indeed when
sentenced to twenty years in the peni-
Tertiary.
There is no pure blooded race of
white people on this globe who think
any punishment short of death is suf-
fcient for the black man who ravages
any kinswoman or lady friend of theirs
All those who take views different from
this are mere theorists or sentimental
lists, except such as are ignorant busy
bodies or malicious meddlers.
