Just when the eastern teams now in

here is not known even by the managers

Americans desired were Saturday and
yesterday. but these were afterwards
Cancelled and no assurance was given as
to when others would be taken. 1t is

their trip toward Mexico later in the sea-

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1897-09-23

AT fannes' opera house last evening a
public meeting of the miners and mine
workers employed in the vicinity of
Freeland was addressed by John Fahy,
OF Pottsville, general organizer of the
United Mine Workers of America, and
by Thomas Richards, of Minersvile, a
member of the organization. No at
tempt was made last night to form a
branch of the order, but committee,
consisting of two men from each of the
collleries in the surrounding towns, was
chosen to attend a general conference of
representatives of the mine workers of
the Lehigh region, TO be held today at
Hazleton.
Mr.. Fahy gave an interesting talk on
the benefits of labor organizations. His
address was marked with the conserva-
tive language used, was devoid of the
clap-trap promises sometimes made by
agitatofs and was in keeping throughout
with what he claimed to be the objects
and aims of the union he represented.
He furnished abundant proof that labor
organizations have obtained for work
ingmen whatever beneficial laws now
exist and that a united movement for
the betterment of conditions has always
proven more fruitful than spasmodic up
risingS. He advised the miners of this
community to study the advantages of
unity.
Mr.. Richards followed in a similar
strain, telling how the Schuylkill region
has organized protiting by the mistakes
made by previous unions He stated
they had been sent here by the miners
of Schuylkill to induce the Lehigh men
to enter an organization which has been
thoroughly tested and not found want
ing in the late troubles in the bitumin-
Gus regions. Both men spoke forcibly
against strikes and countcnanced res
pect for law on all occasions.
The selection of the committee men
toned above was then made

That is what the leading scientists
and journalists of the country have
termed the pictures Of the Corbett- Fitz-
simmons glove contest which took place
at Carson City, Nevada, March II last
The veriscope is without doubt the most
perfect of any of the machines yet pro-
duced for the photography and repro
duction of motion, and its particular
claim to public interest lies in the fact
that the pictures taken by the veriscope
at Carson City are the only authentic
records OF the greatest contest of modern
times. Every action in this contest be-
tween the two leading modern gadators
is shown as clearly to the spectators of
these pictures as they were to the wit
nesSes of the original contest at Carson
City. The management of the Grand
opera honse has secured the veriscope
pictures and they will be seen here next
Monday evening.

Democratic Societies Not to Meet

The executive committee of the Demo.
cratic Societies of PENNSYLVANIA met a,
Harrisburg on Tuesday and decided not
to hold the state convention at Wilkes
barre on September 2s, because the dis
turbed conditions in the coal fields are
likely to prevent a large attendance.
There were present at the meeting all
the prominent members of the commit
tee and the above decision was arrived
at after thorough discussion. A. II.
Ladner, of Philadelphia, and William j.
Brennan, of Pttsburg, were appointed
committee to fix the time and place of
holding the convention.
1t is thought the convention will be
held in Pittsburg in October.

The LONDON MARKETS
Business While War Is Threatened-Wheat Is

LONDON, March 14.-Money has been
fairly cheap during the week, but while
a better feeling and better prices pre-
vail on the stock exchange, still there
is not sufficient confidence felt to in
duce any considerable extension of bust
ness. With the present abundance OF
money awaiting borrowers, the settle
ment of the Cretan troubles would pro-
duce an immediate general rise, but as
matters are now, the only really active
features are home rails, which are like
ly to be less affected by political troubles
than any other securities. The belief
that peace will be preserved in Europe.
with considerable bear buying, has
brought about rise in foreign securi-
ties. Turkish gave up per cent, Greeks
l1a, and Bulgarians 3. Argentnes made
better showing, but BraZilians were
nat. The mining market is considerably
better, though selling has ceased. Amer
leans have improved, but business is
still extremely limited in them. Wander
bilt stocks alone are active. Central
Pacific has fallen off q of point. The
following increases are noted: Lake
Shore and New York Central 2; Mil

The weather during the past week has
been favorable, but sowing has been
retarded as the land is wet. 1t is ex-
pected that the wheat area will be lar
ger than last season. In the market,
wheat, owing to the uncertainty Of the
course of the market, was not speculat-
ed in. Consumers bought sparingly and
there was not sufficient business to in
fluence values. Offers were generally
light, but Russia shippers were weaker.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 1.-two
tragic deaths, a policeman shot and a
small race riot in which a dozen per-
sons were more or less hurt, constitut-
ed the result of a fight which occurred
inside of sixty minutes on the south
side this afternoon. A burglary was
committed by Will Hunter, a notorious
negro. Policeman Perdue was detailed
on the case and this afternoon he found
Hunter and arrested him. Hunter drew
a pistol and fired, striking Perdue In
the jaw, infiicting dangerous wounds.
The negro made a break for liberty, the
officer pursuing and firing as he ran.
After firing three shots the officer fell
from exhaustion, his last shot wound
ing Hunter fatally. 1t developed af-
terward that one of Perdue's shots
killed Myrtle Boland, five-year-old
girl, who was playing in an alley two
blocks away.
When the police finally took Hunter
in charge a mob of negroes followed,
threatening to rescue the wounded
prisoner. A number of white men soon
appeared and a general free fight en-
sued between negroes and whites in
which fully dozen persons were more
