AsTOR BURNED IN RHHInY.


The Unique Parade Formed by an In-
dignnnt New Yorker.
New York, Aug. 5.-Surrounded by
crowd OF several hundred persons Will
lam Waldorf Astor was burned in eff
figy last night in Langacre square, DR..
Seldom Grove, an elderly physician,
being the prime mover in the affair.
Dr. Grove has been much interested
in the reports of Mr.. Astor's declara-
tiOn of allegiance TO Queen Victoria,
and the more he read the more in
dignant he grew. Last night he went
through the "Tenderloin" and invited
about 30 men to call at his residence.
He promised each man a So BILL and
had little trouble in getting recruits.
A truck was secured and Dr. Grove
brought out an effigy of Mr.. Astor. It
was almost perfect in appearance. The
figure was tied in a rocking chair. 1t
was hoisted into the wagon. An oil
saturated barrel was put in with It,
and several quarts of kerosenel High
on a pole in the wagon was a sign
bearing the inscription, in great black
letters: "Astor, the Traitor
A unique parade through the hotel
and theatrical district of the city fol-
lowed. When DR.. Grove stopped in
front of the leading hotels he was po-
litely requested to move by the police,
but no attenpt was made to arrest
him. But he was not allowed to carry
out his plan of burning the Astor eff
fgy in Greedy square. AT Longacre
square the effigy was placed on top of
n barrel, kerosene in liberal quantities
was applied and the doctor applied the
match. The pile blazed flercely. The
spectators cheered and loudly called
On DR.. Grove to make speech. DR..
Grove bitterly attacked Mr.. Astor, but
his speech was interrupted by a report
that the police were coming, and the
sneaker mYsterinnslY disannenred.

learn that there is at least one dreaded disease

fraternity Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treatment. Halls

OUR Hazleton exchanges are some
what at variance as to the condition
of the laboring men Of that section.
The Standard says the talk Of coal
region prosperity is a sham and
farce" The Plain Speaker takes a
different view, and says Evidences
of prosperity are to be found on
every hand in this region. The
Hooking Hat factory has resumed
after several months idleness, the
collieries are being operated on steady
time and work everywhere is brisk.
At Sandy Run fifty men are needed
in the Brick Works at once in order
to fill rapidly accommodating orders
and when once our new silk mill gets
into operation there will be demand
for as much labor as the town can
supply. The Cross Creek Coal Com
pany is opening up new workings
near Beaver Meadow and G. b.
Markle g. Co are doing the same
thing on the north side. The Jeans
Vile Iron Works are kept busy and in
a short time Jeddo will boast of new
machine and boiler shops which will
employ at least one hundred and fifty
men. Hazleton still cuts quite a
figure on the face OF the map. We

Not much is being said nowadays
about the down-trodden and op-

average farmer has wheat in the

so much old corn on hand that he
doesn't know where to put the new
