on the Scene.

DiscCuragement has taken the place
of hope at the Twin shaft In Pittston.
The bright prospects of the previous
day are now shown to be delusion,
and the discoura cement now Is as deep
as the hopes were high then. Yester-
day the reports told Of the probability
of speedily recovering the bodies and
the faint possibility Of rescuing some
of the men alive. Today the sad indi-
cations are that the bodies even will
not be recovered for many day, If
ever.
The cause of this sudden alienation
flom hope to despair is explained by the
now potent fact that the rescuers were
over sanguine OF their abilities as re-
CARDS making headway. The wish that
they might was father of the thought
that they could, with no further impede
mert from "squee2es." push their way
down the slone ut nearly the same rate
of speed in which they covered the dis
taEce in the eangway leading to the
head og the slope. They did make
E?os; encouraging headway down the
first part Of the slope, but as they came
closer to the edge of the face they
found that they had immense powders
to ccnt-.d with instead Of fragments
of rocks. as was the case when proceed
ing tn ough the road leading to the
slope.
The uncertainties that have all along
existed stlll continue to exist. The
men cannot tell what is ahead of them
and can only find out by the slow and
tedious method of tunneling, which is
being pursued. No developments are
expected today, as the slope has been
explored as far ahead as it Is possible
to push the tunnel during the next
twerty-four hours, and consequently it
is not expected that anything new will
be revealed. However. no one can tell
what the morrow will bring forth.
From the point where the rescuers
were last night to the foot of the slope
is about 100 feet. Superintendent Lam
gan and few OF the other victims
may be there. The main body of the
men are supposed to be still further on
in the workings which branch out from
the foot, opinions differing as to the
distance. some saying 200 feet. others
holding that they are in five times that

Their interview was satisfactory On

pressed himself as highly pleased with

In the east encouraging from the Re

This afternoon 500 glass workers came
from Massillon. Many Of them were
Democrats, but announced that they
would vote for Mckinley. In response
to a speech by their spokesman Major
Mckinley made q characteristically
happy response.
The picturesque and unique event of
the campaign was the visit OF 5000
delegates to the state convention of

WHERE ARE WE AT2

It Would He Interesting to Know Just
What Some People Think Socialism Is
Says the Nashville, Tenn, Journal
of Labor: Trade unionism stands
neither for anarchy or state socialism.
Its mission is to work for the better
ment Of conditions surrounding the
workers 1t stands as the bulwark be-
tween social extremists Its interest
lies along the lines of good citizenship
and in the endeavor. to create oppor-
tunities which shall make good citi-
zenship possible for every honest and
industrious man and woman"
But on the same page the Journal
says: Brother Samuel Gompers. who
was president of the American FEEDER
alton of labor for IA years, has once
more assumed charge of this good or
ganization, having defeated John Nc
Bride by decisive vote. This is de-
cided victory for trades unionism-pure
and simple. Brother Gompers believes
that the salvation of the wage earners
lies in the agitation of the eight-hour
work day and compact organization.
and we cannot deny the fact that
Brother Gompers' long experience has
placed him in position to know what
is best for trade organizations
The federation has taken a decided
stand for the following economic re-
forms:
s'The municipal ownership Of street
cars, water works and gas and electric
plants for public distribution of light,

back into their cells Like many
county jails In the west, the building
was divided into dwelling and prison
by heavy wall cutting the building
through the middle. A heavy door
opened from the hall Of the dwelling
into q main corridor running at right
angles to the wall of the house. This
main corridor was in turn separated
from the corridor before the cells by a
heavy iron grating. There were two
stories of cells, and during the day the
prisoners had the run of the entire

A LYNCHING IN MOSINEE.

The Dimblebats were defeated, the
nee, like countless other towns that
night, was in an uproar Of jubilation
such as had not been seen since the
celebration Of the great Dimblebat vic
tory of 1sS-, after successive defeats
for a quarter of a century.
Every saloon yawned like crater
and uttered noises like the mouth of
hell. Laughter was loud, and now
and then the shri1 convulsive whoop
of drunken lumberman rose above
the clamcr, the trample, the clatter Of
passing teams and the braying of tin
horns
ALI the county was in Mosinee. The
Ripupagins had assembled for the
parade, and the Dimblebats were there
to look on and jeer. It was the day
after the presidential election. New
York had been carried, and that set
tied It. The parade was hurried for
ward at once, and preparations for
speeches and bonfires went forward
simultaneously. Very little business
was doing. All trade, all talk was Of
the election and it's results.
Dan Clark, the sheriff land Dimble-
bait, was not depressed. As he sat at
supper with his wife, in the county
Jail, that night, he said, prophetically:
''Just you wait, Annie. They're goin'
to pass high tariff bill, and then you'll
hear sumthin' drop. The people won't
stand it."
Mrs. Clark was small woman with
q round firm face and piercing blue
eyes, with little outward indication Of
the courage she was known to possess.
'.Are you goin' out again tonight"
she asked.
.Yes, I'm a little afraid of trouble.
The town is full of hands from the
mills and camps, and the saloons are
all open. Why? Want o go down and
see the parade?"

"Well, they've been pretty lively in

caught Jack and Shorty talkin' to each
other suspiciously."
'.Confound EN-! What do they take
on tonight for? Well, I won't be gone
long. I'll look in, before going down."
AS they ate their supper, the far-of
changing of the prisoners voices could
be heard as they sang in their cells. 1t
was wild sound, but Mrs. Clark was
used to it, and paid attention to it only
as one might study the moan Of the

Its Alleged Ballroom Origin . Piece Of

The origin of the order of the Golden
Fleece is, like that of our own garter,
shrouded in mystery. says the London
Telegraph. Very few modern archaic

vulgar tradition, wholly unsupported
by any authority, that, at a court ball
given by Edward III. lady, supposed
to be the countess of Salisbury, dropped
her garter, and the king, taking it up,
and observing some of his courtiers to
smile, as though they thought he had
not obtained this favor merely by acct
dent, exclaimed in a loud voice: "Honi
soft qui NAL y pense-"
There is another opinion which
traces the origin of this order, which,
according to the learned Selden, ''ex-

Ghosts Arc Pale and Shadow,
