There ought to be especial con-
sideration of the position and
course of the gold bug press at
this time. The American people
ought to save copies of them and
file them away. They have ceased
to be argumentative; they are
simply abusive. At the same time
while dealing in billingsgate of
the vilest kind, they simulate for
themselves a purity and a wis
dom which the rest of the world
is not blessed with, and their
course naturally leadsthe thought
full person to consider what they
are and what they represent.
They claim to be dreadfully ex-
ercised lest the honor of this
country be tainted and the sour
ces of their inspiration are such
pure patriots as Russell Sage, the
Gould family, the gentlemen who
make up the Morgan syndicate,
Herr Most, the dealers in electric
light stocks, the men who water
railway stocks and rob widows
and orphans, the cormorants Of
the age who from their New York
city aeries, look out as fish
hawk does in search Of prey. They
care no more for the people of
this country than they do for the
cattle of the country. The most
of them know no more of the
geography of the country than
they do of the ancient Egyptian
language. They have not one
thing in common with the great
hosts who work, they represent
class of men who toll not,
neither do they spin, except the
webs in which suckers are caught.
They represent a class who pro-
duce nothing, but who, under too
closely drawn laws, are able to
exact from the earnings of the
millions in this country colossal
fortunes. Think of It'll A man

Union Camp Meeting.

The union camp meeting held by the
Holiness Christian Association at Wealth
erly, Carbon county, is now thing of
the past, but from the start it was one
of the best held this season. God did
smile upon us, and every saint on the
ground felt the mighty love of God. The
good influence of this camp meeting has
been felt far and wide, and the great
benefit that has been accomplished can
not be told Eternity alone shall reveal
it. Praise God for his mighty love
towards his saints.
There have been between fifty and
sixty persons converted and about the
same number have been sanctifled.
Eight have been baptized. Glory to His
dear name.
We still have the large tent erected,
and meetings will be held for week or
two longer We invite all who have
visited us to do so again. Come and
join us in our great work-we welcome
everybody. Great interest is taken in
our meetings by the people of Wealth
erly. The whole place is shaken by
the Holy Ghost. We are looking for
grand results from Weatherly. May
God grant it to us. Amen.

Asleep on the Track,

Thomas Heaton, aged 3S years, while
intoxicated went to sleep across the
Philadelphia and Reading road in the
suburbs of Pottsville Monday night.
He was not discovered until a train was
right upon him. The conductor, at the
risk OF his own life, leaped in front of
the engine and had succeeded in nearly
pulling the man out of danger, when the
train struck him. Heaton's legs were
crushed above the knees and he died a
short time later at the Pottsvile hospi-
tai. He leaves a widow and five small
children.

DOUBLE DWELLING BURNED.
Stanley KOlick Used Coal Oil to Help
Along the Fire-The Usual Result.


A double dwelling house at Highland
was burned to the ground about 6.3C
o'clock yesterday morning. The house
was located on the main street, near the
railroad, and was occupied by Stanley
Kolick and Joe Kavitsky and their
families
The fire started in Kolick's shanty,
which was used for cooking and also for
storing straw and hay for his live stock.
He came home from work about G
o'clock, and finding the fire in his cook
stove rather low, began to build it up as
rapidly as possible. He procured coal
oil can and literally sprinkled the wood
which he had placed in tho stove.
On applying a match, the blaze from
the oil shot a couple of feet out of the
stove, and in an instant the straw and
hay was mass of flame.
At this time Kavitsky's side of the
house was unoccupied. His five board
ers had gone to work, and he had Just
left the house, leaving no one at home
except his wife and small child. The
woman, taking the child with her, went
for a bucket of water, and in the mean
time Kolick lit the coal oil. On return
ing home, Mrs. Kavitsky found her
house so full of fire that she was unable
to enter, and as result she could save
nothing.
Kolick was a little more fortunate
than his neighbor. On finding his shan
ty burning fercely he began to hustle
out his household furniture, and saved
a bed, one or two ticks, some bed clothes
and a few other things. However, he
lost number of articles and Il quantity
OF provisions.
Kavitsky's loss is entire. The unfor-
tunate circumstances under which the
fire started left no opportunity for any
thing to be saved from his house. He is
left with nothing to wear but an old
hat, worn-out pair of shoes, an under
shirt and pair of overals. His wife,
too, is left with only her everyday ha-
bliment The five boardcrs are also
stranded, having nothing left but the
clothes which they wore.
Kavitsky had his cellar full of provi-
sions, all OF which he lost. Some money
was also burned. Kolick, it is thought,
will likely have to leave the town as
result of the fire.
The building was owned by G. B.
Marlilo & Co., whose loss is about 5000.
This is partly covered by insurance.

Arrested for Counterfeitfng.

Adam Heyer and Daniel Gross, who
up to a year ago lived in this section,
were arrested at Nanticoke on Saturday
night for attempting to pass counter
felt iive-cent pieces. They were tried
before the burgess of the town, and in
default of bail were committed to the
county prison.
The men evidently have taken up the
business since leaving hore, as the coins
they attempted to pass proved the
makers to be the clumsiest of amateurs.
On Saturday night they went into a
saloon in Nanticoke, and had three
glasses of beer, for which they paid in
nickels. They then went across the
street to another saloon and endeavored
to repeat the operation. The bartender,
however, refused to accept the money,
claiming that it was counterfeit. A
wrangle ensued, and while the discus
sion was at its height the other saloon
keeper rushed in with the spurious
nickels in his hand. No sooner did
Gross and Heyer catch sight of him
than they rushed into the street. Be-
fore they had gone very far, however,
they collided with policeman, who
placed them under arrest. As soon as
they saw the officer they threw lot of
nickels into the street. These were af-
terwards picked up and found to be very
badly executed counterfeits.

All the directors were present at q

retary was authorized to order the
necessary books.
A bill from L. ii. Butler & Co. and
another for freight from the L. V. r. R.
were laid over. The secretary reported
that orders which the president refused
to sign had been returned. Noaction was
taken on them. The secretary was
ordered to make out orders for $25 and
$500 in favor of Rudrauff & Davey, the
former sum being the cost in settlement
of the suit against the board, while the
latter sum is part payment on the plans
of the new building.
The president informed the board
that the note held by the Markle Bank
ing Company for $4,000 would become
due on August 80. The president and
treasurer were instructed to attend to
the matter.
A number OF letters were read by the
secretary showing that tcllurium globes
can be purchased as low as $14 each,
instead of $3.50, the price asked re-
Gently by an agent.

Tigers being pitted against them, Mana

which the Tigers had no control this
ball season in Freeland was not so bril-

Efforts Making to Bring About a Great

New York Nov 20.-The World. this
morning says: More than a hundred
ministers in Greater New York have
decided to use their every effort to
bring about the greatest evangelical
awakening this city has ever known. a
call viii be issued at once to all minis
tiers in the city 10 open the doors of
their churches. every night for revival
services, it is expected that there will
be more than five hundred meetings a
night and that the results will be the
most extraordinary of modern times.
It is hoped to arouse not only the
gerat metropolis but to have the move
ment radiate in every direction. 1t is
hoped that it viii join with that now
in progress in Philadelphia, and sweep
over the whole country.
Every denomination and nearly every
prominent pastor in New York and
Brooklyn is interested in this move
nent. The feeling is said to have been
the outgrowth of the Moody meetings
in this city. Dwight l. Moody has said
that they have been among the most
remarkable Of his experience. The Car

Judge Foster who was asked whether
ne knew anything about the proposed
appointment. said
Il don't believe there is anything in
