Congressman w. G. P. Breckin-
ridge wants new trial, and gives
nine reasons why Judge Bradley
should grant it:
/. Because the verdict is con-
trary to the evidence.
2. Because the evidence is not
sufficient in law to sustain said YER
dict.
8. Because the verdict is against
the weight of evidence.
4. Because the damages award
ed by the jury were excessive.
5. For errors of law founded on
the exceptions reserved during the
trial and noted on the minutes of
the Justice who tried the cause.
6. For errors of law in granting
the written instructions prayed by
the plaintiffs council and in re-
fusing instructions prayed by
counsel for the defendant.
7. For errors of law contained
in the charge of the Court to the
jury.
s. For errors Of the Court in
commenting on the evidence of
witnesses whose testimony was
offered on the trial.
8. For specific errors to be as
signed hereafter on the hearing of
this motion.
The motion is signed by Butter
worth & Dowell, John L. Shelby,
William Mckinley and Phil. b.
Thompson, counsel for defendant.

Nearly half a century ago maiden
lady residing in Roxborough pur-
chased an axe from George Davis, a
hardware dealer in Manayunk. The
axe was in constant service, and by
its many trips. to the grindstone was
worn down until the steel blade was
no longer of use. Yesterday the old
lady carried the pole or head of the
axe to Manayunk to have new blade
inserted. Meeting friend, he ad-
vised her to go to Davis's store, now
kept by two sons of the former pro-
prietor, and get new one in exchange
as the old one was warranted to last
lifetime. The two Davis brothers
protested against exchanging, while
the lady vehemently urged her rights.
A large crowd soon congregated, every
one siding with the woman. She
finally triumphed, and walked out of
the store with brand-new article,
wavingit above her head as an en-
blem of her victory over the firm
American Cultivator.

What will The Harvest Be /?

The country over began by
laughing at Coxey's Commonweal
Army. The day for laughter has
passed and the movement inaugur-
ated by a crank has passed that
stage when it can be laughed at.
Serious men are putting on very
serious faces as they begin to asks
where is this movement to end,
and what is its portent? We are
suddenly waking to the fact that
we may be on the eve of social
and an industrial upheavel, the
outcome of which no man can fore
tell. That there are breakers
ahead, and dangerous ones, there
is no longer room for doubt. The
signs of the times are unpleasantly
ominous. The growing sentiment
among the unemployed that the
Government should furnish work
for such classes, is a dangerous
one, for the stability of the Repub-
lie. For years the warning cry
has been raised, to close our doors
against an Objectionable class of
immigrants; but though the dan
ger signal was hung out, it was un-
needed. 1t may be we will pay
dear for offering an asylum to the
scum of Europe. The vicious class
among the Hungarians, Poles, TIA
lians, Germans, Chinese, etc., have
for years beer making such trou-
bic in our midst, that all the better
class of these people, together with
the native American element, could
not completely down. But while
the movement above mentioned
does not belong to any Of these I'M
pleasant visitors, we have admitted
to our shores, and is for the pres
ent being taken up by the serious,
sober, working men Of the country,
yet the great danger, is this dan
gerOus element will be certain to
join the movement if it assumes
larger proportions and in conse-
quence breed us trouble that would
in no wise be apprehended from the
native born, or even the better class
Of the foreign-born workmen. The
strike of the coal miners on Satur-
day, nearly all over the United
States, does not fail to add an adj
ditiOnal element of alarm to the
condition of things For all this
we have great faith in the sterling
common sense Of the American
people, and whilst they may go
wild for a little time, they gener-
ally recover themselves soon
enough to escape any overwhelm-
ingly disastrous consequences of
their folly.

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION
TO Meet at Camption July 10 to
Select a
Democratic Standard Bearer For
this District.

The members of the Democratic
Committee of the Tenth Congress
sional District met in this city
Tuesday afternoon at / o'clock, for
the purpose of selecting a time,
place and manner for nominating
candidate for Congress. The
Committee was deadlocked for sew
eral hours on the motion to hold a
primary election all over the dis
trict, and the amendment to hold q
convention, the vote being a tie
s and s. Some of the Committee
insisted on Chairman Vansant cast
ing the deciding vote as Chairman
but that gentleman doubted his
right to vote as Chairman of the
Committee, where there was a tie;
so the matter rested as it was, until
Judge II. r. French, of this city,
made motion that District Con-
vention be held, and leave it OPP
tionary with the County Commit
tees of the several counties as to
how delegates should be selected,
by primary election, precinct meet
ing or mass convention. This mo-
ton was adopted.
Then, after several ballots were
taken as to where the Convention
should be held, and what date,
Campton, Wolf County, was select
ed as the place and Tuesday, July
10th, the time.
In case County Committee call
primary election or precinct
meetings, same will be held on the
fourth Saturday in June, and on
the Tuesday following the precinct
delegates will assemble at the
county seats and select delegates
to the general Convention. Should
the County Committees call mass
convention, same shall be held at
the county seats the fourth Satur-
day in June, and delegates selected
to the general Convention, thus
dispensing with the necessity of
meeting on the first Tuesday in
July.

A bill involving crazier scheme
than Coxey's was introduced in the
House by Representative John Davis,
one of the curious products of Kansas
brought to the front by the Populist
upheaval. He proposes that the Sec
rotary of War enlist an industrial
army of 100000, to be employed on
public works and be paid as regular
soldiers. The small matter of the ex-
Pense of the scheme is to be met by
issuing $25O,OOO,OOO of fiat money and
annually thereafter $l0000O,000.

Dun's weekly review OF trade states
that 'most of the recovery realized in
business has been made possible by
consent of workers to accept lower
wages for time. If they insist on
restoration of wages before consump-
ton has restored prices many works
must be closed. The great strike
threatened by bituminous coal miners,
and strikes of associated employees on
some railroads make the future less
hopeful" Despite the clamor of hard
times from various sources and of "no
work" from others, Bradstreet's re-
view estimates that the number of
men now on strike or idle because of
strikes is 10000.

Attorney Stoll, of Lexington, late
Counsel for Col. Breckenridge in his
suit at Washington, has written letter,
which is printed in the New York
Herald, full of fiery expressions, de-
manding of Judge Jerre Wilson full
and complete apology for an intima-
ton in his address before the jury, that
Stoll might have been in some way
connected with the preparation of
forged letter that turned up in the
trial of the case. Judge Wilson treats
the matter with its merited contempt.
Attorney Stoll is probably seeking a
little cheap noteriety.

tional with which to complete the public
water works, it is hoped there will be no
further delay in connection with the
project 1t should be carried to compile
tion with all the rapidity and economy
possible so that the water supply promised
may be given the people by the opening
of next spring, at least. There can be
no excuse for any further delay. The

almost ready for completion, and they
have now received all the help, financially,
that they claimed from the people.

IMPORTANT BALLOT DECISION
A Supreme Courts Ruling on the Present
Mnlhnd of Voting.

LANSING, Mich, Nov 0.-The supreme
court has just handed down the most inn
portont decision affecting the present
method OF voting that hps ever brcn made.
ON the question of what constitutes dis
tinuuishiug mark on % ballot, which
mark is prohibited b. law the court
unanimously holds that any mark, what
ever other than a single one appropriate
TO the intention of voter ~ distinguish
ing mark. The results of this decision will
be far reaching.
The court holds that II two tickets on an
official ballot are identical the marking Of
a cross over each is Illegal; also that to
mark a cross over any ticket and then be-
fore each name on such ticket or placing a
| cross before the name of candidate and
then erasing the name of his opponent on
| another ticket is Illegal
In substance the opinion holds that a
single is a vote and is sufficient to indi-
cate the voters intention, and that a
second might be agreed upon as a means
of Identification, 1t has been the practice
of election inspectors to count all such
| doubly marked ballots, so that undcr this
| decision any of the elections,hcld under the
Australian voting system, it is believed
| will be contested.
