THE VOLUNTEER STATE.

Probably the proudest record
that has been made by Tennessee
in its century of existence is that
which gave and sustained the pop
ular appellation, "The Volunteer
State" There hasneverb been a call
to arms in this country to which
Tennessee has not readily respond
ed, says the Nashville Banner.
The record in this particulardates
back beyond the admission Of the
State into the Union. 1t was in
the darkest days of the war Of indie
pendence that the hardy Tennessee
frontiermen turned the tide of vic
tory in favorof the strugglingyoung
republic by defeating the British
at the famous battle Of Of Kings
Mountain.
Later, in the war Of 1912, Tenn
essee furnished not only the Gener-
al, but the bulk of the gallant army
that repulsed .Pakenham at New
Orleans.
The men that died in the Alamo
were mostlyall Tennesseans. Sam
Houston was a Tennesseean,. and SO
were the greater number Of his sol
diers who gained the signal victory
over Santa Anna at San Jacinto and
wrested Texas from the grasp of
Mexico.
There was a Tennessee president
in the White House when war was
declared against Mexico in 1845,
and his call for volunteers met with
such liberal response in Tennes-
see that all who wished to serve
could not be accepted. AS it was,
more soldiers from Tennessee than
from any other state followed Scott
and Taylor. 1t may be truly said
that the vast domain from the west
ern. border Of Louisiana to the
southern boundary of Oregan was
added, to the country largely
through the valor of Tennessee
1 arms.
Therewasa a later and sadder time
\ when the courage and patriotism Of
u Tennesseeans was put to the test,
and found as true as steel. This
was time when brother was turn
ed against brother; when more than
100000 Tennessee volunteers fol-
lowed the armies ofthe South, and
10000 fought on the side of the
Union.
This is a record Of which Tenn
esseeans can we'll afford to boast.
A people who for more than cen
tury have shown themselves pos
sessed in such a high degree ofthe
sterling virtues Of courage add pa
triotism deserve TO rank among the
! noblest that the world has ever pro
daced.

TWO MINE FATALITIES.
The Usual Cause and the Usual Terrible
Results.

DUBOIS Pa, March 2L-A terrific ex-
plosion of gas occurred at the Berwynd-

nearly overcome by the gas and were hur-
riedly taken up in the cage AS the work
of rescue proceeded it was found that the
shock in the north heading was so terrific
that two of the bodies were mutilated al
most beyond recognition but the balance
had evidently been suffocated by the foul
gas. The dead are;
George Harvey, married, no children;

Mrs. Drayton, before her marriage, was
Augusta Astor, the third daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. William Astor. J. Coleman
Drayton, although of a South Carolina
family on his fathers side, was Phila-
delphian, and Hallett Alsop Borrowe, OF
whom Mr.. Drayton became jealous, was a
well known man about town in New York.
Drayton had been married to Miss AstoI
thirteen years when their troubles became
public in 1892. In March of that year there
was prospect of duel between Drayton
and Borrowe. The latter followed Dray.
ton to this country from France, and Bor-
rowe accepted Drayton's challenge to fight
But because Drayton was said to have ac-
cepted money from the Astors to support
the children, whom he kept with him
Borrowe's French seconds decided he
should not fight the injured husband
Finally duel was fought, but it was Fox
Drayton's second in the negotiations for 9
duel, and not Drayton himself, who pre-
sented himself as a target for Borrowe
Fox did get bullet through his coat tail
that was all, though.

He Sends Letter to Personal Friends on
the Chairmanship Question.
WASHINGTON, March 24,-The announce
ment of the candidacy of Frank Willing
Leach, made public last week. for the state
chairmanship to succeed Senator Quay, and
the inquiries made by Republicans through
out Pennsylvania asking the Junior Senator
to define his position on the chairmanship of
the state committee, has brought forth a
declaration from the latter.
1t is understood that w. H. Andrews
would like to be state chairman, but his
friends have not yet inauguated campaign
in his behalf.
Senator Quay is opposed to forcing this
question on the Keystone State Republicans
at this time. He regards such a course as
premature and ill-advised, and he has en-
bodied his views in the following letter
which he is sending to all his personal friends
in the state who have written him on the
subject Dear Sir: Your favor of - inst
received, deplore exceedingly the interjec
ton of the chairmanship question into the
campaign now progressing in our state. II

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March 24.-Eugene
V. Debs spoke in the First Baptist church
of this city Sunday night on the relations
ofthe church to labor. The auditorium was
crowded to the doors, and hundreds were
turned away. Mr.. Debs spoke of the
church as an institution being almost sol
idly arrayed against labor, but rejoiced
that there now seemed desire to discuss
social questions. He declared that If the
golden rule were applied by all the church
people to the labor question it would be
solved in twenty-four hours.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Decided Step Taken to Gust the Ward
Justices.
THE WRITS ISSUED YESTERDAY.
Issued at the Instance of Those Who Claim
Election as Borough Justices of the
Peace in Shenandoah and Mahanoy
City-To be Argued on April sth.

The question as to whether Justices of the
Peace Toomey, Shoemaker, Dengler, Will
Jams, Bierstein, Walker, Rynkowicz and
Bailey of town, and nine people claiming
similar offices in Mahanoy City, are entitled
to commissions as Justices and can legally
transact business as such is now drawn down
to point upon which the matter will soon be
definitely settled.
Yesterday afternoon Lawyer Olmsted, who
represents Justices NJ. j. LawlOr and John J.
Cardin, of town, and Justices Jones and
Coyle, of Mahanoy City, who claim commits
sons as Justices of the Peace of the respective
boroughs, appeared before Judges Simonton
and Mcpherson, at Harrisburg, and presented
petitions for quo warranto against seventeen
Justices who claim to hold office in this town
and Mahanoy City as Justices of the Peace of
their respective wards. The suits are
brought in the name of the Commonwealth
| by permission of Acknowledgement Nc
| Cormick.
The papers submitted set forth that each of
the boroughs is entitled to two Justices of
the Peace, to be elected by the concurrent
votes of all the wards, but that the practice
has been to elect two Justices in each ward
making twenty in the two boroughs that
at the recent spring election two Justice.
were elected in each borough by the voters
of all the wards, to take Office on May 1st
that in the meantime, in order to fill the
vacancies, the Governor has commissioned
the four Justices presenting the petition to
serve until the 1st of May and that the
proceedings are instituted to oust seventeen
of the twenty Justices who still insist upon
holding office
Judge Simonton awarded a writ of quo
warranto in each case, returning April 9Th,
and fixed April Sth for arguments.
! 1t is the hope of the petitioners to push the
case to conclusion in April, so that if their
position is sustained they can apply for their
5-year commissions on May 1st.
One of the old Justices said to-day, well
they are taking us far enough away from
home to settle the matter, but when the
proper time comes we will be on deck and
present our case. We are as confident as
ever that our position is right and that the
claims of the others are ridiculous and shall
fight them to the Supreme Court, if neces-
sary.'
The proceedings do not in anyway affect
the power of any of the Justices against
whom they are directed and who hold com
missions. Their authority is not cut off un-
til judgment of custer is actually entered
On the 30th inst. the question as to whether
the Justices who have taken the aggressive
at Harrisburg have been legally elected will
come up before the court at POttsville.
