rwenty-nine Railroad Employees Badly
Shaken Up.

ATTLEBORO, Mass, June Within 100
yards OF the scene of the railroad wreck
Mt Sharon Heights Wednesday another &C
cident, in which % men were moro or less
injured, has happened The wrocking
train, after clearing up the debris of the
first accident, pulled out for Boston. In
the rear car were % men, most of whom
were asleep. y too quickly turned switch
Mt the end of the siding leading into the
main line as the wrccking train passed de-
rallied the last car which left the iron and
turned on its side. The drawbar held, and
the coach was dragged rapidly along the
track, throwing the men therein in n con
fused heap upon one another.
Six of them became unconscious from
the bruises they received, and tho remain
ing % suffered minor bruises and u severe
shaking up. The coupling finally gave
way, but not until tho sides of the car
had been ripped off and some of the men
hurled out upon the roadbcd.
The engineer did not discover that any
thing was wrong till Sharon was reached,
after which the train was backed to the
scene of the accident and the much bat
tered crew picked up and the track again
cleared. The most seriously injured were
carried to their homes in Boston.

be denied that women are people, and in
the constitution it says, We, the people of
the state, do establish the constitution.
Tho constitution declares that no member
of the state shall be disenfranchiscd or de-
prived of any right or privilege. Women
are members of the state, and they are cit
liens of the United states, and yet they
are disenfranchised and deprived of the
highest privileges, On what ground?
Not the judgment of their peers.
Now, gentlemen, how will you frame
the new constitutions! Shall it be an hon
est or dishonest one? If you strike out
the word male, then may you retain all
the fine phrases We, the people, and
beautiful truths. But, if you do not, then
must you change the text
We believe that our cause is safe in
your hands, and if you submit 1t to the
people and women were allowed to vote 1t
would be adopted triumphantly. No long
is it possible to say that women as a
sex do not wish to vote. That statement
is disproved by the wonderful uprising of
women in favor of this movement. Such
a movement can no more be turned back
than the stars in their course"
The next speaker was Miss Chandler OF
New York, q relative of Julia Ward Howe.
She spoke briefly, saying That she was o
taxpayer in city where much money was
collected in taxes and which she had to
help pay, and yet all she was allowed to do
was to pay taxes. She believed that she
could only be n true citizen by voting She
had been asked to influence votes, but she
rather wished to cast n vote in womauly
manner than to lobby with men.
Mrs. Keyser's Speech.
Mrs. Harriet A Keyscr, speaking upon
the value of working women to the state,
said:
Until recent times the working wom-
an was ignored. When any one in society
was compelled to become self supporting,
she chose work that could be done at home
and followed her ayocation in the atmos-
phere of deep and impenetrable mystery.
Society looked down upon the working
woman, who had not generally the stami-
ma to respect herself in spite of the verdict
of society.
The industrial world has taken on a
different impression in the last half cen
fury. The working woman is not ignor-
ed, nor is she socially despised. There are
some who do not know much about her,
but they must know something, as she
touches every grade of society. Instead
of, as in olden times, wealthy people being
expected to support needy women rela-

CONFERENCE FAILED,
Illinois Coal Operators Gould
Not Agree.
so THE BIG STRIKE CONTINUES.
Striking Miners Rule the Cripple Creek
Region With a High Hand-The Sltua-
ton In Pennsylvania and Indiana Still
Rioting In the West.

SPRINGFIELD Ills, June 1.-The con-
farcnce of coal operators of Illinois called
to attempt a settlement of the strike adj
journed sine die, having accomplished
nothing. Tho operators say, Every man
for himself, and the devil take the hind
most"
The operators conference was called to
order with c. c. Brown of this city as
chairman and Paul Morton of Chicago
secretary. Forty operators We're present.
The southern and central operators were
not present and said they would not go in
to the conference unless the Consolidated
and larger mine operators did. The small
er operators We're afraid of being squeezed
by the larger ones.
A mass meeting of miners was held
down town and was largely attended The
men said they We're ready to treat with
the operators mt any time. The chances
for settlement seem rather slim.
The operators conference passed resolu-
lions dcplOring the fact that the southern
operators refused to meet with those from
the northern Illinois districts and an
nouncing that the latter were ready to fix
u scale satisfactory to all
Charles Ridgely, president of the Con-
soldated mines fatty refused to enter the
conference and sent word to that effect.
The members criticised MIR. Ridgcly severe
ly, claiming Il settlement could be effected
ut this meeting if he would go in.
The southern Illinois operators say that
they will now go home and try and effect
Il settlement with their own men on the
best terms they can secure. They are red
hot mad against the northern operators
and the Consolidated operators in general
and President RidgCly In particular, and
they say if it had not been for Ridgely the
ir, NJ
State President Crawford and National
President Mcbride of the miners fedora
ton say the situation now rcverts to its
inception, and they can mako no specific
statement as to what will now be done
They said they would not like to be re-
sponSiblc for any future actions of the
men. They were out to stay, even though
1t stopped every engine in the United
States and every cook stove in the land
They had offered II flag of truce and done
all in their power toward a settlement and
had been repulscd The whole matter was
with the operators, and they We're to blame
for all future proceedings.
President Mcbride of the United Mine
Workers, before leaving for Columbus, O..
addressed n monster meeting of miners in
front of the courthouse. He attributed
the blame for the failure of the conference
of the operators to the refusal of the Con-
solidatcd Coal company to enter it. Pres
ident Mcbride said that had Charles Ridge
ly, the president of the Consolidated com
pany, gone in, n basis for II settlement
would have been arrived Mt and the strike
ended.
The Wabash shops employing $50, shut
down hero on account of lack of fuel. The
shop forces at Decatur and Chicago, num-
bering nearly 100 men, have been laid off
for the same reason.

Citizens with the Strikers.

SCOTTDALE, Pa, June AT largely
attended meeting of citizens presided over
by Burgess Robertson, speeches were made
by all the ministers of the town and by
several business men. Resolutions We're
adopted declaring that the calling out of
the militia for the region is entirely I'M
necessary dcploring the importation of
men to man the industries, condemning
the introduction of the gatling gun into a
civilized community and asking that i'm
partial justice be mcted out To all work
ingmcn and operators alike. y copy of
the resolutions was sent to Governor Pat
tiSon.

tives, the modern reduced woman says in
n spirit of honorable independence, Il will
not eat the bread of dependence and sit
Mt any fireside an unwelcomc guest. So
she goes out in the great world and COM
pctes with men.
I'm striving to arrive mt the value of the
working woman by comparing her with
the woman of leisure it must be promised
that many woman who has not earned
n penny in her life has devoted her time
to noble aims. BY woman of leisure l
mean the woman who is idle in important
matters and devotes herself to trivial
things, caring more about the cut of
gown and the architecture and building
of bonnet than for the welfare of the en-
tire race 1t is safe to say, then, that a
woman of leisure is of no particular value
to the state. She would have political val
uc if she could vote. She is disfranchiScd
and lacks the aspiration for cnfranchisc-
ment that might give her some political
weight
The meeting closed with Mrs. Grccnleaf
asking that favorable consideration be Civ
en- the women.

Don't Like the Military,

OSKALoOsA, Ia, June 1.-The presence
of the military companies at Evans SEEM
ed to dishearten the strikers for time,
but they rallied from their surprise and
marched to this city, where a great mass
meeting was held in the public square.
Tho speakers disclaimed any intention to
do violence and scored the calling out of
the troops. 1t was asserted that 1t was not
a strike, but merely q suspension of labor
and they proposed to stand firm until tho
demands were satisfied in other fields

The St Thomas cadet base ball club
went to Naugatuck Decoration day and
whipped nine in that town to the tune
of 81 to g.. Naturally the boys felt elated
over their victory and spent all day yester-
day going around among their friends tell
ing the story of the game. But there was
big surprise in store for the victors.
When they called at the club room this
morning they found that some one had en-
tered the place and made off with their
whole outfit, muzzles and all. To-day the
boys are around unmuzzled and it will be
a sorry day for the thief if the aggrieved
should run across him. The outfit cost
$25. and unless the articles are returned
by tonight the case will be given to the
police.
The item in last nights DEMOCRAT in
reference to the giant maple tree on the

brought the tree into more notoriety than
it ever could have acquired if the pro-
posed changes at this point had not been
discussed so thoroughly as they have been
in the columns of this paper. Several
people who never before took any particu-
lar notice of the big tree called there last
night and to-day and admired its huge
proportions and join with the owner in
saying that it would be pity to destroy
it. If the proposed changes should be de-
cided upon the neighbors intend present
ing a petition to the road board asking
that it be allowed to remain in the road

PHILLIPsBURG, Pa, June 1.-Ex-G
ernor Beaver, who was hero and who is
extensively interested in coal mines said
to your correspondent that in his opinion
bloodshcd would follow any attempt upon
the part of the operators to break the
strike by the use of deputies or coal and
iron police. He thought if the operators
would talk less about breaking the strike
by force and adopt a waiting policy in
stead the men would return to work in q
much better mood toward their employers
than will otherwise be the case.

DIR. Mary Jocobi Speaks.
She said that the committee was asked
to consider the existence of n sex that had
heretofore not existed, 50 far rs reCogni-
ton by the government was concerned.
The progress of suffrage for men had
been slow, the last to receive the grant be-
ing the freed Legro 1t was shame that
of all the classes in the world woman was
in the matter of suffrage an outcast. The
inmates of the alInshouse may vote; the
woman who makes it inhabitable for him
cannot, The tramp who hcgs cold victu
ais nj the door may vote, but the woman
who charitahly feeds him cannot. Today
women include the only class of sane per
sons, except the Chinese, who cannot vote.
We demand suffrage on no new prinCi-
piles, but on the ground that women repre-
sent rs much the intelligence of the state
the men, and in the vote intelligence,
as "a whole. should I've represented. Women
would aid in purifying politics, in better
ing the condition of the poor and i'll pre-
serving the educational system of the state.
The state should be made like the house
hold. where the woman has her place, her
sphere, and vet her voice and vote. Very
few, if any, women would engage actively
in politics 1t is not because women want
to be men that they ask for votes, because
the desire to remain women is dominant.
Women wVrr asked to wait until the mil
lCnnium came before being granted the
ballot. Men had fought against granting
suffrage TO those of their own sex, yet
their objections were overcome.
She refused To believe that the conven-
ton OF the members of this committee had
already made up their minds in the matter
and against il. She called attention to
the fact that 500, 600 petitions had been
sent in to the convention in favor of it.
1t was n question for American men to
settle with American women.
