and will so stand next year. Many of
them came to this country to get away
from the obnoxious effects of military
rule, and they are determined in their
stand against any such prostitution of

republican government. I regard the

y. C. Koch, the most prominent ar
chitect i'll the city, said:
although OF German descent, I was
born in this country and served
throughout the civil war; am against
militarism and expansion, but l do not
see how we can get out OF our present
difficulty without large standing army,
but it should only be maintained while
there is absolute need of it to protect
our rights. 1 think the Germans are
opposed to such policy, and will mani
fest their opposition at the polls"
Judge ]. c. Ludwig, of the superior
court, who occupies prominent posi-
ton among Wisconsin Germans, said:
imperialism and militarism are not
regarded by Germans as party questions
in any sense. They oppose the one and
hate the other because both are what
they came to America to avoid. At the
beginning of the war with Spain they
withheld judgment, but when the Phil
ippine question arose and military and
expansion policy appeared on the hor-

There is remarkable unanimity of SEN

anti-imperialism place above silver in
the next contest it will win practically
the solid body of the German vote. I
believe great majority of foreign-born
citizens are united in believing that the

unwise, a policy i'll suited to repub-

One of Dewey's BOYS.

Whole the whole nation is welcoming

pleasant to know that the Admiral rich

trymen. He is no plated hero; he is
sterling through and through; his own

submitted to the commodore Dewey S
ancestors having been English and not

weight in the admiral's mind. Why
should the boy risk his life for his coat?
The question was put to him The fact
came out that in the pocket OF the coat
the lad had stored away his mothers S

THE COAL TRADE.
The July Letter OF the Anthracite Coal
Operators Association just Issued.

The July Letter OF the Anthracite Coal
Operators Association Just Issued.
There have been few changes in anthracite
conditions during the past month. The tide
water market showed little activity ship
ments to New England points declined
slightly the movement to line points also
decreased excepting in the commencement Of
deliveries for municipal contracts, and there
was a steady increase in shipments 10 the
west. Prices remained firm at all point and
while slight concessions have undoubtedly
been made in some instances, they have not
been sufficient to disturb the general tone Of
the market.
An exceptionally favorable feature thus far
has been the refusal Of the larger companies
to make extensive contracts for future de-
livery at prevailing prices. In the past this
practice has done more than anything else to
destroy the confidence of buyers aud prevent
a realization Of any advance in prices which
was announced. OF course, contracts have
been taken for manufacturing establishments
and municipalities, but deliveries for the
domestic trade are well in hand and will
come under the advance Of 25 cents per ton
announced for July l.
Owing to the large tonnage produced in
June, there has been some hesitation on the
part Of buyers who feared that it might be
thrown upon the market and break prices
This has tended to keep the sellers from
realizing the full circular and will undoubt.
edly affect July prices. 1t may be fairly
said, however, that this condition has been
unavoidable. Judging by the present con-
sumption movement it is doubtful if the
companies will be able to mine the full
market requirements during the next six
months and to prevent any serious shortage
they have over-produced in June, and cardied
the excess at their various storage points.
There is the best of reasons for assuming that
this coal will be held until the market
actually requires il, as the evident intention
of the companies is to maintain the market
in firm position and keep prices where the
benefits of the present advance may be
realized and those Of the prospective increase
in September and October secured.

WILL THEY BOLT?
The Silver Junta Threaten to RetaIiato for
Their Turn-Down.

Their Turn-Down.
Pottsville, July 12.-The ticket nominated
by the Democratic convention while it is
satisfactory as to the character of the men
composing its make up does not give so much
satisfaction geographically. The farming
districts in the county north and south OF
POttsyille are not represented on the ticket.
The Bryanites are very indignant over
their turn down by the gold Democrats in the
convention, and are talking of making an
open revolt this fall. The two free silver
newspapers of the county served notice that
they would not support the ticket during the
coming campaign if Wadlinger was nomi-
mated and the Chicago platform was not
endorsed.
There is now talk among the free silVerites
of nominating an independent ticket.
Whether this threat will be carried out can.
not as yet he definitely learned. 1t seems
altogether probable, from the sentiments ex.
pressed by prominent disappointed Bryan
men, that either an independent ticket will
be put up or the silver Democrats will throw
their strength toward electing the Republi
can ticket.
The free silver men feel that the party
should be punished for ignoring them in
Mondays convention, and they may cut
every gold Democrat on the ticket. The
slight east upon the Bryanites was pre-.
meditated, it is said. When the standing
committee met to select a chairman recently
free silver resolutions were submitted, but
they were tabled. The silverites forced the
issue at the county convention, and com

Albert Crosby Asks to Be Adjudged
a Bankrupt,
THOUGH LIVING IN LUXURY,

He Declares He Il Entirely Depend
ent Upon the Bounty OF His wife,
But Admits Having Given Hes All
of His Property.
New York, July 12.-Albert Crosby,
of Brewster, Mass, and formerly rich
and prominent in Chicago, where he
owned Crosby's Opera House and the
McAvoy Brewing company, was eX"
amined in bankruptcy proceedings
here yesterday. In his petition he de-
scribed his assets as consisting of a few
old clothes. He lives in a handsome
home on Cape Cod. Mrs. Crosby tes-
titled that she owns the estate at
Brewster, has 100000 cash in bank,
mortgages for S160,OO0 more, real es-
tate valued at $4,000 and furniture
and paintings valued at $4,000, be-
sides her claim for $4,000 against Mr..
Crosby for advances made by her to
him from time to time.
Mr.. Crosby said he had owned nothing
since 1875, when he gave his all to his
wife. Since then ne has lived by bor-
rowing from her. he asserts. They
usually spend the winters abroad and
the summers at Brewster.
The examination was conducted be-
fore Referee L. b. Crane. julius Leh-
mann is trustee for the alleged bank
rupt's property and creditors were
represented by Judge NJ. Winfield, Of
Logansport, Ind, who is a state SEN
ator, and by Edgar Fellows, of this
city.
Mr.. Crosby was on the bond of David
A. Gage, city treasurer Of Chicago, who
defaulted in a very large sum. BY
buying timber lands and making bar
rels in Indiana Mr. Crosby contracted
debts of $4,000 in that state. Judg.
ments were obtained against him in
Indiana, and the city of Chicago Sc
cured a judgment for 100000. Then
it was found that he had no assets.
On examination he said yesterday he
was very fond of his second wife and
very grateful to her for saving many
of his most valuable paintings at the
time of the fire. Therefore he gave her
| his property. Real estate, railway and
| brewing stocks were all turned over to
her. He retained only his position as
! vice president of the McAvoy Brew
| ing company, and in that capacity as
an employe of a corporation in which
he had no interest drew a salary OF
He and his wife remained abroad
| several years, and were lost sight Of.
| Four years ago Judge Winfield, while
| spending the summer on Cape Cod, was
taken to Brewster TO see some of the
show places there. Among others was
the Crosby Art Gallery. The name of
| Crosby is common there, and did not
| attract his attention, but the chief pic
ture in the gallery, Bierstadts I'm the
Yosemite" is not common. Judge Win
| field had seen it often in Chicago.
Being the lawyer for the JePoloman es-
tate, one of the largest of the Indiana
creditors, Judge Winfield Immediately
began suit in Massachusetts and Sc
! cured judgments there against Mr..
Crosby, which the supreme court of the
state has recently affirmed.
Mr.. Crosby then came to this city
and, claiming residence here, fled a
petition in bankruptcy.

vigllant and Persistent Campaign BY
Railroad Companies.
FRUITLESS ARREST MADE TO-DAY
A Man Taken Into Custody For Causing {
Wreck of Coal Cars a Week Ago,
But the Evidence Of Conneo-

vigilant and ceaseless campaign is being

tempting or abetting the wrecking Of trains
and no case, no matter how trivial, escapes
the attention of the police employed by the
companies. Prompt arrest and swift punish
ment is the keynote that has been sounded
from the headquarters and offenders can ex-
pect to receive little mercy.
In line with this policy an arrest was made
in town to-day for wreck that took place on
the Kohinoor siding of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway last Thursday night.
Somebody broke the ratchet of brake of one
of train Of coal cars standing on a siding
and the cars were allowed to run.
When they reached the switch the
car in the lead jumped from the track
and wrecking of five cars ensued. wreck
crew from Mahanoy Plane worked for several
hours to clear away the debris. Secrecy was
thrown about the matter to give the G. & 1.
police q chance to work up what appeared to
be good clew. Some train hands had
furnished a description of man
they saw near the scene of the wreck
shortly after it occurred. The man was not
in his working clothes and, apparently, had
no reason for his presence there During the
past four days the officers kept up a still
hunt for this man and this morning c. & 1.
Policeman Kleindentz took him out Of the
breaker at the Shenandoah City colliery.
The prisoner was Joe Lucah, simple minded
man OF about 25 years.
After the arrest Lucak was confronted by
James Maloney and Edward Gallagher, coal
train brakemen. The prisoner was identified
as the man they had seen near the wreck.
The prisoner admitted he was there, but
denied having caused the wreck or being
connected with it. J. Keffer, coal train
fireman. said he saw a man near the wreck.
The fellow had large stone in his hand and
made taunting gesture at the witness. The
latter, however, could not identify Lucah as
the party, and the case was dropped so far as
the prisoner was concerned.
