THE PITTSTON HORROR.
Another Immense Fall of Rock in the
Ruined Twin Shaft.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July Another
cavein took place in the Twin shaft at
Pittston shortly after 8 o'clock this
morning. The rescuers were in a spot
near where the original fall took place
when the crash came. The cavein is
said to be an immense one. composed
mostly of rock. The rescuers have
been driven back nearly 200 feet and
The outlook this morning toward reach
ing the men is very discouraging.
The roof continues to show signs of
cracking and more falls are looked for
during the day.
The 50 men have now been impris-
oned for four days and still there is no
way of reaching them. The six men
who attempted to crawl over the two
falls last night. and had to retreat be-
fore a threatened fall, promised to re-
new the attempt today. S%uperinten-
dent Laws says that the report of the
second cavein was greatly exaggerated.
From other sources it is learned that
the cavein was an extensive one and
will interfere with the work of rescue.
Mine Inspector Mcdonald, who has
been IN duty since Sunday morning.
has had to retire. completely exhaust
ed. His place was taken by Mine In
apector Roderick. The latter in an in
teryiew said:
II have just returned from where the
rescuers are at work, and l am salts
fed with the progress they are max
ing. Just at present. however. the rock
is being encountered and the men are
not making as good Roadway as yes
terday.'
do you think there is any posi-
bility of any of the men being alive?"
vas asked.
There is a bare possibility, but that
is all. The low hole from the adjoin-
ing mine has not yet been driven
through the wall partition separating
the two mines, but it is thought the
work will be completed some time this
evening"

Resolutions Passed by Its Club a Few
Days Ago.

The following resolutions were
adopted by the Sheridan Populist cluL
a few days ago:
Resolved. That, inasmuch as II. Z.
Taubeneck and some of the leaders OF
the populist or peoples party have is
sued IN open letter or manifesto sub
hitting the name of Henry NJ. Teller
of Colorado to the peoples party for
their consideration as a candidate for
the presidency of the United States. to
be endorsed by said party in alliance
with what is known as the free silver
party; be it
Resolved. by the Sheridan populist
club, That we regard the proposition
made by Mr.. II. E. Taubeneck and his
associates as ill-timed. u%nadvised and
not demanded by the rank and file of
the populist party, and a premature
and cowardly surrender of the cardinal
principles of the Omaha platform. and
infamous in its conception.
That we consider the silver issue
not the dominant question in politics,
but a false or fake issue calculated to
misleade and deceive the people.
THAT, inasmuch as Henry NJ. Teller
is not in sympathy with the peoples
party and its platform. and asserts tina
its principles are political heresies and
vicious in their tendencies. or words to
that effect. that we. as populists. can
consistently and will not indorse
his nomination.
That we consider the administra-
ton of both of the grand old parties
the last quarter of a century as ut
ter failures. a disgrace to the nation
and an imposition upon its people, and
that the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver at a ratio of l6 to ! would not
right the wrongs from which we as a
nation are suffering.
That a copy of the above resolutions
be sent to the Omaha World-Herald,
the Rocky Mountain News and some of
the reform papers.

Our public improvements, now IL
progress, are not party affairs. They
are concerns of all the people. Nc
partisan politics should have voice
in directing the work that is for all
paid for by all, and will last for a
generation. No politics has con-
trolled the present council In the
employment of men in the regulation
of the work. To make party issue
now, when the work has been con-
Quoted on a peoples plan, is folly.
The good sense of the Logan tax
payer will induce him to vote for
the best men. The present council
is made up of honest, capable men
They have had experience in the
work In hand. They understand the
situation. They have familiarity
with the plan, and the details. 1t is
no time to swap horses in the middle
of the stream. 1t is no time to change
managers in the half completed con-
dition OF the work.

The Macarthur Enquirer of

The Macarthur Enquirer of last
week broadly intimates that Judge
Weitzell was in the town pla nnins
to buy a license. This course of our
Republican Judge is along in line
with the course of our Republican
County Commissioners. They g
out of the town and buy the foreign
made iron cage for the singing bird
and glee birds of the treasury Office,
and ignore our home products and
producers. Hooking county has lots
of home made licences to sell. Why,
if the Judge wants a license, and we
are glad to know he does, why don't
he buy one at home instead of going
to Vinton county, when upon its au'
:hority, he cages his bird. The moral
of all this is, vote the Dem ocratle
ticket and encourage home industry

Prof. G. G. Goodwin, of Corning,

Saturday afternoon. He was on his
way home from the Ash Cave, where
he had been employed shooting an

of Nitro Glycerine opened up a flow
of about three or four barrel a day,
and pronounces it one of the best

Considering the fact that Mr.. Good

of it, in the vicinity of the Cave, will
have a tendency to increase the value
of land in that vicinity very materially,

TIE Journal-Gazette in recent
issue says this Democratic admins
tration is not doing justice to the
pensioners. This is blatherskite non
sense. No administration has evel
issued as many pensions as Cleveland
and under ro administration have the
pensioners claims had more prompt
attention. We challenge the Journal
to name single soldier in this coun
ty entitled to pension, who is moi
getting pension. Name the soldier
if you can. Then if all our deserv

what's the sense or fairness in bark
ing this worn out howl. Soldiers are
not fools, and we protest in the name
of the deserving pensioners as class
that this blackguardism of the gov.
ernment which is doing justly and
fairly, should come to quit.

Our Corporation Ticket.

Our candidate for mayor, Will
Bowen, in his first term, has made
nm honorable record, has maintained
the dignity of the highest office of
our city, and has upheld the credit
and good name and fair fame of the
Queen City. In the administration
of duty, be has been sensible, pru-
dent, fair and Just. w hen he has
been called upon to pass upon cases,
his judgment has been approved by
the sensible people. He has not
meddled with affairs outside his of
fee. but when matters have been
brought to him, he has acted with
good sense. 1t is due to the reputa
tion of our town, and the fairness
that exists in both parties, to give
him a second term.
Geo. Shorr is a candidate for re-
election as Marshal. This is the
peace officer Of the town. The repu-
tation of town for law and order. is
due mainly to the marshal. Logan
has the reputation of being the most
peaceful, most orderly town in Ohio.
No drunkenness appears on our
streets, no fights nor quarrels dis
tress the public eve, no crimes to
STA tie the public have been commit
ted. Why is this? Because we have
had a pradent, sensible Marshal, an
officer who has kept his eye upon the
restless and disturbing element, and
kept that class in subsection and
quiet. He has not gone moseing
around hunting up and stirring
np disturbance He has not been
spy nor informer. When anyone
violated the law, disturbed the peace
or provoked public decency. he was
at once arrested. Geo. Shorr has
been quiet and orderly himself, and
has kept the town in such good
shape as to make Logan, the model
in the state. We will take no
chances in making change, and
will reelect Geo. Shorr marshal.
