ClaynOnt Comment.

The funeral of Amor G. Forwood, took
place at his late residence on Monday
morning last. Services were held at the
house, which consisted of addresses and
singing. Mr.. Eben N. Baldwin, a firm
friend of the deceased, spoke very i'm
pres>iycly on the text, $50 teach us to
number our days, that we may apply
our hearts unto WISDOM" He also
spoke of the great love that Mr.. For
wood had for his wife, who has been
dead for number of years, and for his
children. Rev. b. F. Dougherty spoke
beautifully on the Importance OF life and
its duties. A quartet OF ladies sang a
selection Of hymns, very suitable for the
occasion. Flowers in many beautiful
designs, such as "Our Father" "At
Rest" etc, were presented by his
friends. The funeral was very large and
many carriages were in the procession,
which proceeded to the Rivervicw Gene
terry, where interment was made.
Mr.. For wood was a man who was
loved and respected by all who knew him.
He was valuable person in any sphere
Of life, and used sound judgment, and
knew how to apply the rule Of common
sense when needed. Having good
judgment, was invariably the right man
in the right place. lie took an active
part in politics and was firm in his opin-
ion. So we, the citizens Of his home, do
most sincerely sympathizc with his be-
rcaved family in their severe aillcton
and earnestly pray that the God Of all
comfort may speak in tendcrcst accents
to their sorrowing hearts and grant unto
| them consolation which the world cannot
give.
The house where the funeral took place
is one of the oldest houses in this section
OF the county. 1t was built in 1888,
therefore being IA years old.

CHANGERS IN SESSION.
Important Topics Discussed and Res
OlutiOns Adopted.

SEAFoRD, DEL, Nov. 24-The regular
session OF Sussex county Pomona Grange
met at Odd Fellows Hall here yesterday.
The attendance was large, farmers from
all over the county being present.
Worthy Master l. J. Morgan was in the
chair. The members OF the Grange were
welcomed by Past Master Thomas n.
Rawlins, of Seaford, who in few words
congratulated them on being members Of
the organization and pointed out some of
the advantages enjoyed by the farmers,
these having been the outgrowth of the
Grange Among them, notably, are the
Department of Agriculture, the Expert
mental Station and the volume OF litera-
ture sent out from this institution.
Worthy Master Morgan in his address
called special attention to the necessity
Of compulsory school law, pleading
particularly for the orphans sent out
from the homes.
Worthy Overseer Jones reported on
the advantages Of cooperative buying,
and said he personally had saved at least
$50 this year in buying phosphate alone,
owing to information received through
the Grange
Other officers also made reports.
Reports were made from local Gran
gers, showing that the Grange in the
county is holding its own. The cost of
growing corn in Sussex comfy was dis
cussed at considerable length. The
opinion was that the actual cost of grow
ing corn in this county varies from about
% cents per bushel on lands growing 40
bushels or more per acre, to 80 cents or
over per bushel on lands growing -
bushels or less per acre. The Grange
believes that the growing of corn in this
county is Improbable except in connec-
ton with other crops.
The subject of growing wheat was also
discussed, and the discussion brought
ont the fact that on good ground, with
proper attention, wheat can be grown
with profit.
The Worthy Master OF the State Grange,
Messick, gave some account Of his tri ip to
Harrisburg to attend the recent session
of the National Grange. He reported a
large attendance at the session, SO States
being represented at roll call. He gave
a very interesting account OF side trips
to Gettysburg and the Indian School at
Carlisle.
The next session will be held at
Laurel in January, 1898.
The following resolutions we're adopt
ed !:
"Rcsolvcd, That we favor that part Of
the Masters address advocating compul-
sorry education in our common schools,
and that we commend that provision of
the new State Constitution which pro-
vides that all persons voting for the first
time after A. ID. 1900 shall be able to
read the new Constitution as contribut-
ing to that send, if, indeed, it does not
prove a self-operating system Of compul-
sorry education in itself.
"Resolved, That all cmigrants into
this country should remain here q years
before they should be allowed the rights
Of suffrage.
"Resolved further, That immigration
into this country should be restricted by
wise legislation"

Pittsburg, July 10.-The week closes
with the forces engaged in the miners
strike determined as ever and on the
alert to secure the slightest advantage.
No openly aggressive work was done to-
day by either side, but the miners oili-
Gals held secret meeting, and II is
believed Il vigorous campaign against the
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal COM
prny miners, to be inaugurated tomor-
row. was decided upon. The operators
apparently are doing little and are say
ing less. However, their confidence in
defeating the miners has not abated in
the least. The expected trouble in the
Wheeling division of the Baltimore and
Ohio did not come to the surface today.
The miners were paid off as announced,
but no trouble whatever followed.
The effect of the strike is being mani
tested in the price of coal. An increase
of so cents per ton was shown today
when application was made for con-
tracts. A number of Pittsburg opera
tors not being able to work their mines
are seeking to buy coal in the West Vir-
ginia field in order to reap the advantage
of the advance. There has been no in
timation of lawlessness as yet in this
region. The miners say there will be no
overt acts committed during the strike,
and all proceedings will be strictly with
in the law.
President Ratchford left the city to-
night, but will return in time to accom-
pany the men in their demonstration

company's miners,

Havana. July 11.--Reports presented to
the authorities by Enrique Gomez, Cover

Cleveland. July 10.-The railroads are
continuing TO confscate coal. At the

ton is regarded with general alarm, MS
coal must lie obtained to prevent incalcul-
able damage to beer and meats.
Thousands Of workingmen out of en-
ployment, factories and mills closed down.
street car traffic suspended-this will
shortly be the result in Cleveland unless
compromise of the miners strike is effect
ed in few days. Shipments by water
have been cut entirely off and charters
have been cancelled by the wholesale. AS
more than half the course freighters have
been compelled to go up light it has in
erased the offerings or tonnage OF down
going cargocs and has weakened the
freight market all round. Nearly all the
coal consigned to the head of the lake is
being held by the railroads and ore boats
that have shipped orders are being de,
layed greatly on that account. The fixed
per cent for fuel is $3.50 but today vessel
men are paying 50 and on Monday they
will be paying $2.25. Steamers are taking
slack and in fact almost anything that VIII

The weapon used was a. Colts revolver.
Wright Immediately surrendered and is
now in the county Jail. Springer was
seated at table, playing dominoes with
the barkeeper Walter NiddleswOrth.
Wright came quietly in at the back
door, walked up to the table, placed the
muzze of the gun within two feet of
Sprnger's face and exclaimed: Look
out, l am going to kill you," and pulled
the trigger five times. There were six
or seven people in the bar room ut the
time, and the shooting caused mad
stampede for the doors. Wright gaZed
scornfully at them for a minute, and
then passing out through the front door

ing his pistol into the air and eXclaim-
ing, "Look out, my gun is not empty"

AS A LAST RESORT.
Railroad Organizations Will BE
Asked to Assist the Miners.

Pittsburg, July 1O.-The miners lead
ers will leave nothing undone to aid
them in any way in bringing the great
struggle to a successful termination. As
a last resort the railroad employees will
he brought into the fight if possible. The
heads of the various railroad organiza-
tons have been appealed to for assist
ance, if needed, and it is said they will
render all aid possible. 1t was reported
that p. NJ. Arthur, chief of the Order
of Locomotive Engineers, had been ask
ed to issue orders to the engineers not
to haul coal until the miners differ
ences are fixed This would effectually
tic up all the coal ready for shipment,
and what might loaded in the event of
failure to bring all of the miners out.
When President Ratchford was asked as
to the truth of the report, he said:
"We have been keeping that feature
of the strike from the newspapers for
several days. | will say, however that
we have communicated with the heads
of all the railway organizations in the
country, and | believe we will have their
support in this struggle.
GAS to asking them to call on the rail
way employees to refuse to haul coal until
this trouble is settled. | will say this will
only be done after we have exhausted
all other means.
1t would hardly be fair to expect this
until we had used every effort to close
every mine in the bituminous coal fields.
| do not care to discuss this subject any
further. We are certain of success, and
the situation today is more encouraging
than at any time since the strike began"
Organizers will be sent into West Vir-
ginia, but how they will go will not be
known for a few days.
The national officers of the trades I'M
ions, with whom we met last night, have
agreed to send organizers, but they will
have to consult the executive boards in
order to determine how many men each
organization can send into the field"
The district officers will make n deter
mined effort tomorrow to bring out the
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal COM
pany's miners.
Arrangements have been made for a
march on the mines on Sunday. Secre-
tary Warner says four brass bands have
been engaged, and with a number of men

against u.s." said he, "as we will keep on
the public highways and will have Il
field on which to hold a meeting"
The latest accession to the ranks of
the strikers was the miners employed at
SmOcks' mines on the Redstone branch
of the Pennsylvania Railway. The coal
from these mines has been going to the
eastern markets. Efforts will be made
to bring out all who are loading coal for
the east
