Among those who have come to see how
the Americans make war is an English

Another officer, noted throughout the

4 curious scene was witnessed in the
dining room of the hotel. AS / was passing
in to dinner, Gen. Howard called me and
asked me to take a seat with him and
Mai Whittle. I had scarcely done so
when Gen. Wheeler came along, and was
invited by Gen. Howard to fill the only
vacant seat. AS the meal progressed The
conversation turned on affairs in 1868, '64,
and each related incidents in his own
career, Gen. Howard telling how nervous
Wheeler used to make him about the
safety of his wagon-tTainS, and Gen.
Wheeler telling, with some laughter, how a
! squad of Federal cavalry once chased him
| and one of his staff over two miles, when

Labadie Company at the Grand.

The Oliver Labadie Company began its
week of repertoire at the Grand on Mon
day evening. There are some tirst-class
people in the company this year, and
good business will be done by them be-
fore leaving town. The opening play,
Cuban Justice" met with a good re-
ception from a full house. This is not
one of the many plays having the late
war as an excuse for being written, but
is standard drama and the manner in
which it was presented was quite salts
factory to the audience. The specalties
were also fairly well done.
'Nobody's Child" was well played
Tuesday night. Owing to the inclement
weather, the house was not as well filled
as it should have been.
'Ingomar" was given last evening to
large house, and the production was
as good as it could be made at popular
prices. The fine dramatic points of the
play were brought out by the several
members of the cast with cearness
that won repeated applause from the
critical audience present.
Tonight Faust" will be played, East
Lynn" Friday evening and For Liber-
ty" on Saturday evening. A matinee
will be given on Saturday.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

The meeting of the Democratic county
most encouraging held in years, and the
reports from every district indicate that
an extraordinary large vote will be
polled by the party on November s..
There seems to be no longer any doubt
that Chairman Dasch and his colleagues
will carry Luzerne for the county
nominees by from 1000 to $500 and for
the state ticket by at least 1000 more.
Dauphin county court has declared L..
Ii. Barber to be the regular Democratic
candidate for congress in the Eighth
district and E. p. Williams the regular
Democratic candidate for associate
judge in Carbon county. John E. Lauer
and E. r. Enbody, who claimed to be
the regular nominees for the above
Offices, will run independent.
The friends of d. M. Evans claim he
will poll large vote fer representative
in this district. 1t is known that Evans
strength is puzzling the Republican
machine considerable. In the mean
time Hugh Sheridan is gaining friends
daily and expects to lead both Evans
and Snyder.
The Hazleton Standard is authority
for the statement that exDistrct Chair
man William +. Adams, of Beaver
Brook, has broken away from the Quay
machine and is openly supporting
Swallow.
George A. jerks and other prominent
Democrats were given an enthusiastic
reception at Wilkesbarre on Tuesday.
On Saturday evening Mr.. jerks and
party will deliver addresses at Hazleton.
Rev. DR.. Swallow, Prohibition candi-
date for governor, is booked to arrive
here at 0. 80 a. IN. on Thursday, Novem-
ber 8, and to deliver an address at the
Central hotel at noon.
DR.. Smythe, who claims to have been
counted out of the nomination for
coroner at the Democratic convention,
has filed independent papers and will
run on the Citizens ticket.

to ascertain the cause of the general
sickness, the water in the artesian well,
from which the college is supplied, was an
alyzed and was found to contain poison.
The college officials and the authorities
of Denver are now at work searching for
the perpetrators of this dastardly at
tempt to commit wholesale murder, and
a large reward has been offered for the
arrest of the guilty party.

Death of Patrick Cannon.

Patrick Cannon died on Tuesday morn
ing at his parents residence on South
Centre street, aged II years and IL days
His condition for some time past had
been serious, and his sufferings of late
have been intense. The young mans
illness is thought to have originated
from the kick of a mule, received about
a year ago in Highland mines. Last
July the injury compelled him to take
to his bed, and after receiving medical
treatment the physicians decided that
an operation was necessary and on the
18th OF that month he was taken to the
Miners hospital at Hazleton, where
tumor was removed the following day.
He remained at the miners hospital
until August Is. After his arrival home
he improved steadily for a few weeks.
Later he. suffered relapse, and he
steadily grew weaker until Tuesday
morning, when he died.
The deceased was an exemplary young
man and his parents, Mr.. and Mrs
John Cannon, have the sympathy of all
who knew him. The funeral takes
place this afternoon at 2 o'clock. In
terment will be made at St. AIMS ceme-
terry. The Good Wills Athletic Assoca-
tion, Of which he was member, will
attend the funeral in body.

Lafayette Day Celebrated

Lafayette Day was celebrated yester-
day in Foster township schools. Each
teacher was permitted to arrange suit
able program for the observance of the
anniversary, and in several schools the
exercises were of a high order and re-
Elected credit on teachers and pupils.
The days celebration was marred, how
ever, in one school near Freeland,
through the refusal of talking ma
chine to talk. The professor at this
particular school, to make his program
complete, borrowed II graphophone, but
neglected to get instructions on the
working of it, and when he turned the
wonderful apparatus loose on the assem-
bled pupils and their parents not a
sound came forth. For two hours the
professor struggled for mastery over
the machine, then coaxed and pleaded
with the graphophone to talk or sing or
do something. Finally the entertain
ment had to be postponed.
