foreign complications and the neces.
sity OF preparing for any possible
emergency. Only one voice was
raised against passage Of the bill. Ber-
~, democrat Of Kentucky, thought
1t would be wisdom to build ships
capable of coping with the most pow
erful battleships Of other nations
rather than to erect fixed Notifications
on our coasts.
Livingston, democrat, Of Georgia,
member Of the appropriations commit
tee, In 9 speech f&voring the fortiflca-
tion bill, said: II congratulate the
country that It is now conceded that
Mckinley will be the next republican
nominee, and that the A. p. A. will
beat him. It is also acknowledged
that the Jefersonian democracy win
control at Chicago and give relief to
the country. After March next the
country will be safe" (Republican
applause.) Livingston, proceeding,
said he did not anticipate war With
England or Spain, but it was good
policy and good common sense to pre-
pare for possible contingency.
"Do you know that England sent
forty five rapid-fire guns to Kingston,
Canada, for protection OF its lakes?"
asked Walsh.

that he honestly believed new county

the district. Mr.. Long pledged himself
to work and vote, if elected, for every
measure that may come before the legis-
lature which may be of any benefit to
the laboring people.
ID. j. Mccarthy was the last speaker,
and though the hour was growing late
when he began he held the crowd until
the meeting adjourned. He briefly re-
viewed the county ticket, from top to
bottom, showing the merits of each can
didate, excepting himself, and made an
earnest and eloquent plea for the cleo
tion of all. Later on he referred to the
main question of the compaign, and the
Democrats have no reason to fear criti-
cism of the last speech made. The
speaker simply outdid himself, and APP
plause after applause greeted his re-
markable eloquence. Prominent Re-

Luther League Convention.

The fifth semi-annual convention of
the Upper Lehigh Valley Luthur League
opened on Tuesday morning at the
Trinity Evangelical Lutheran church.
West Hazleton. Rev. Ritter, pastor of
the church, delivered the address of
welcome. Rev. Schlenker president of
the Central League, submitted his report.
1t showed that there are state leagues,
294 locals, 10 central. The league of
the Upper Lehigh district is tenth in
size with l3 locals. All the leagues have
grown in activity all over the country
during the past six months.
Miss Minnie Spangler read well pre-
pared essay on THE Luther League
and the Bible" followed with an open
ing address on the same subject by Rev.
Hemsath, of Conyngham. This was fo,-
lowed by a general discussion. Rev.
w. U. Uhter had for a subject, "Does
the Luther League Fill Long Felt
Wantin Our Church?" There was gen
eral discussion on this subject which
closed the session.
The evening exercises were held in
the church and were largely attended
The next meeting will be held at Le-
highton in April, 1897.

Tuesday Evenings Meeting.

Only few hours were given on Tues
day to advertise the meeting that even
ing, but this was sufficient to draw over
800 voters to the hall. The audience
was addressed by Hugh Malloy, chair
man, George A. Edwards, of Wilkesbarre,
and d. j. Mccarthy, candidate for sena-
tor. Mr., Malloy spoke briefly, but to
the point. He was followed by Mr.. Ed
wards, who made a hit here earlier in
the campaign. The arguments of this
convert from RepubicaniSm are incrcas-
ing in strength as election day draws
closer, and his sincerity and earncstness
in espousing the cause of the new Democ-
racy compel even those who differ with
him to respect him.
The senatorial candidate made his
first appearance here since his nomna-
tion, and was accorded royal greeting
by his neig ghbors. 1t is a fact almost
unnecessary to mention that Mr.. Nc
Carthy can make Il good speech on al
most any question, and on Tuesday
evening he fulfilled all expectations.
From an educational point of view it is
doubtful if the money problem has been
anywhere presented in a more concise and
clear-cut style, and was not voter in
the hall who did not leave without hav-
ing learned something new on the issue.
His remarks throughout were temper
ate, and no effort was made to arouse
partisanship or passion. The strong
points of his address were illustrated
with local object lessons, and Republi-
cans and Democrats were given more
then few questions to think of between
now and election day. The address was
undoubtedly the best delivered here.

The Zemitis case came up again in
court this week. Anthony Zemitis is in
jail under sentence of death for the
murder of Andrew Yeasley in the Black
man mines, and Attorney James l..
Lenahan has argued for new trial
The reasons are of a sensational char
acter. Yeasley, the murdered man, was
buried in a Slavish cemetery, near Ply
mouth, without any post-mortem being
held. About six months afterward,
shortly before the trial, police went to
the cemetery and eXhumed what they
thought to be Yeasley's body, but were
surprised to find there instead the body
of II woman.
second grave adjoining was also
opened, but that did not contain the
body wanted, and the party was about
to abandon the search when foreigner.
who was fixing a grave nearby, inquired
the object of their search and conducted
them to Yeasley's grave. The third
grave was opened and the undertaken at
once identified the body as being Yeas
ley from the clothes.
The body was lifted from the grave,
the top of the skull removed and bullet
found. Attorney Lenahan claimed he
but recently learned of the above and
believes that it was of sufficient import
ancc to be shown to the jury, as the un-
certainty of opening three graves throws
a serious doubt upon the last body being
that of 9easley's.

terially here since his connection with Pearl
Bryan became known. The several columns
lately published. seeking to show that the
lad was led astray and extolling his good
character, do not meet approval here, and
neither has there been any exodus of young
men from the city caused by the grand jury
investigation. The jury is getting in wit
nesses and is seeking evidence on all points
that would lead to an indictment. II one
point fails others will be tried until every
clew is exhausted. IT is believed by many
tonight that an indictment of some kind
will be returned at the present session. 1t
is rumored that the jury Is getting more
evidence than it expected when II took up
the matter. There Is great sympathy for
the families OF the two Greencastle boys
now in the tolls. but there Is no desire to

REMARKABLE INVENTION.
Prof. III. A. RovIand's Wonderful Null
tiplex Printing Telegraph.

BALTIMORE, Feb. $.-Prof. II. A. Row
land. of Johns Hopkins University, has OBJ
tained successful results from a remarkable
invention for transmitting kilograms written
upon a typewriter at the place Of sending
and reproduced in typewriter form at the
receiving point In addition to the typewrit-
ing part OF the invention. Prof Rowland
can send over the same wire five or six
different messages at the same time in one
direction. which. in duplex. makes ten or
twelve messages. Thus. with five operators
at each end of a line. sending each an aver
age OF thirty words a minute, three hundred
words can be transmitted each minute.
DR.. Rowland has been informed by the
Patent Office officials that no such invention
has ever been received there. typewriting
telegraphy having been attempted before,
but upon entirely different principles. The
current Of electricity transmitting the mes
sage can be relayed. and in this manner the
invention can be operated for long dis
tance. In. finished form. the instrument will
be as convenient and as easily operated as
the ordinary telegraphic apparatus. Prof.
Rowland calls his invention the "multiplex
printing telegraph
