THE WIFE or JOHN ADAMS.
A Puritan Of puritnns She Became the
Eirst Indy OF The Lnnh.

Abigail Smith, the wife of John Adams,
waa tho foremost representative of a class
of women whose quiet influence did much
for the cause of the struggling colon 80.
However much modern Daughter" Of the
Revolution MAY rejoice in her prestige, John
Adams wife was dlstnctiyely one cf the
mothers" of the revolution, without the
sprighliness which made the wife Of
Nathaniel Greene so popular, and free from
the social ambition which elevated General
Knox wife into the position of the society
leader Of Washington'S administrations, in
depth of character and in positive influence
sho easily surpassed them both. \ portrait
of her at the age Of p, one year after her
marriage, shows a strong and yet tender
face, with a low, broad forehead, full and
expressive eyes. clearly cut nose, a mouth
sweet and indicative OF her sense OF humOr,
AMI chin firm and strong. With all hcr
powers Of observation and expression. even
above her conversational ability ana her
grace Cf manner, her friends cherished her
absolute honesty and frank sincerity, She
was accustomed to say just what sne meant,
and mean just what she said; and, while
some of the modern writers affirm that the
marvellous influence the men OF her day be
lieycd she welded over her husband ana his
friends was somewhat exaggerated, there
still cam be no doubt that her power he

HER EARLY LIFE.
Abigail Adams Was a Puritan q: the

A natural consequence the religious side OF
her nature was strongly developed, and a
taste for the best that had been thought

TWO FACTIONS FIGHT.
BLOODY Battle Between Polish Miners
at Girardsvil1e.

at Girardsviile'
G;rardville, Pa, Sept. 29.-At least
nine men received fatal injuries and
possibly two score others were more or
less seriously wounded in the bloody
riot here late last night and early this
morning. The battle was the outcome
of a quarrel over the Hazelton troubles.
Tbirty-six men are known to have been
wounded, and about SO more are being
secreted by their friends, who fear that
they will be sent to Jail.
Twelve of the ringleaders were
brought before Justice Elias Kissinger
and 10 before Justice 81. B. johnson.
All were charged with assault with in
tent to kill, HOUSEKEEPING and rioting,
and were held in heavy bail for court.
Many warrants have been issued, but
have not been served as yet.
DIR. Charles Statesman attended the
% wounded, nine of whom he says will
die. Drs. William Monaghan and
James Donohue attended IA others, and
how many the other physicians cared
for is not known. Three others have
been reported dead, but this cannot be
verified.
Several hundred Polanders board at
William Cullacabbage's hotel, on Sec
ond street. Joseph Cavendish is pro-
prietor of the hotel at the east end Of
town, where several hundred more
Polanders make their headquarters.
Bad blood has existed between them
for long time, and the recent strike
troubles at Hazleton embittered them
still more Last night matters came to
a crisis. Cullacabbage, it is charged,
and his followers, to the number of
several hundred, armed with guns, rev.
divers, knives, axes and clubs, marched
to Cavendish's hotel, where several
hundred of their enemies were cele-
brating payday. The Cavendish men
ascertained that their foes were march
ing upon them, and, arming themselves
hurriedly, awaited their arrival. After
a demonstrative march, the Cullacab-
bage contingent arrived, and 1mmedi-
ately stOrmed the saloon.
Then a bloody battle ensued. The
men fought like demons, the shooting
was fast and furious; axes. knives,
clubs and other weapons were used with
deadly effect. The battle lasted almost
an hour, when the Cullacabbage men
were routed, leaving their wounded men
behind. Everything in the house was
smashed and the floors strewn with
wounded men. The walls were bespat-
tered with blood and shreds of human
flesh.
After the rioters had returned to their
headquarters, the Cavendish gang armed
themselves to the teeth, and marched
to their enemies rendezvous, where a
battle, still bloodier than the first, re-
suited. The police force and the con-
stables Of the surrounding region were
called to the scene, but were unable to
cope with the rioting horde, who con-
tinued hostilities until morning.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins 4 Company's Review
of Trade.

Downing, Hopkins COmpany's Review
of Trade.
A low range of values for wheat has
been established during the week as the
result of diminished speculation, in
creased receipts and accommodating
stocks, the market closing weak under
these conditions, with still lower ten
lency. Clearances continue large.
Export sales have been only moderate,
and there seems to be pause In the
European demand. The diminished
volume of speculation is probably the
weakest feature in the market at pres
ent, as the trade generally have accept
ed as fact that Europe wants all the
surplus food products that we have to
spare. The presence of so-called
"bull clique" has been largely respon-
sible for the decreased trade and done
much to check the advance. The in
creasing stocks would not prove suffi-
cient to depress values, but in conjunc-
ton with the lessened export demand
and absence of speculation the current
of the market has been turned and un-
til conditions are changed lower range
of values is to be expected temporarily.
Corn values have suffered severe
decline, due in part to local speculative
conditions The salient points of
weakness in the market, however, have
been the large receipts, enormous stocks
and the insufficiency of the cash de-
mand. The forward movement is now
falling off. Farmers have practically
ceased selling. The cash demand is
also improving and a stronger market is
probable next week. Crop prospects
are unfavorable. Serious damage has
occurred since the last government re-
port was compiled, and the next report
will show very large decrease in the
estimated yield. Present values are
below the average for years past and in
vite speculative buying. The shortage
in the worlds wheat crop would in it.
self warrant better values for corn, but
in connection with the serious shortage
in the potato crop, ESTIMATED at
900, 900, 900 bushels, it is apparent
that corn will be in greater export de-
mand than ever before. We regard
present weakness as but temporary, and
certain to be followed by much higher
values.

Coroner's Jury Differs Regarding Blame

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 29.-The coro-
ner's jury which investigated the death
of the strikers at Lattimer in the
deputy coroner's Office, after an hours
deliberation rendered the following ver-
dict:
"That from the circumstances of the
case and the evidence offered, the said
Clement Platok, with others, came to
his death by gunshot wounds on Sep
TENDER 10, 1897, at the hands of Sheriff
James Martin and deputies, and in
this, we, the jury, do all agree. and we,
Phil j.. Boyle, Thomas T. Thomas,
Barton Fresh and Peter McKiernan, of
this jury, do further say that the said
Clement Platok, with others, was
marching peacefully and unarmed on
the public highways, and they were in
tercepted by said Sheriff Martin and
his deputies, and mercilessly shot to
death, and we do further find that the
killing was unnecessary, and could have
been avoided without serious injury to
either persons or property, and we find,
finally, that the killing was wanton
and unjustifable; but in this, we, John
Mau and F. j. McNeal, of this jury, do
not concur; and we, the jury, do fur
ther say that there was strong suspicion
of unlawful violence at the hands of
persons unknown to this jury, as to
make this inquest necessary
