A dispatch from State Chairman

half, and it is, therefore. expected that
Mr.. Miller will be on hand to fill to-
days assignments. There is Il sus-

terday covered a design on the part
of some of the Philadelphia candi-
dates to secure Mr. Miller'S services
for one evening in their own behalf.
He is in great demand these days and
has to refuse engagements by the
score.
Mr.. Miller spoke III New Brunswick.
N. j.. on Friday night last. A pub
lished version says: The biggest
ovation ever accorded TO man in
this city was given to Hugh Gordon
Miller, the young orator from Viz
ginia who has been making a reputa-
tion for himself as Il spcil-bindcr dur
ing this campaign. Mr.. Miller came
here to speak at a rally of the Young
Mems Republican club. 1Ie is only %
years old and many %. 'he spectators
stared in surprise when they saw
what a STRIPPING he was. The young
mans eloquence, however, Kept his au-
dience on their feat. and onca, after a
particularly effective burst, they
rushed forward and swarmed over the
platform cheering. At the close of the
meeting, the members of the Young
Mems club carried the speaker from
the hall on their shoulders. Tha
crowd followed his carriage to tn,
hotel and would not be satisfied until
he had addressed them again.
Not content with this. the club
lined up several hundred strong in
front of the hotel at noon today, when
Mr.. Miller took his departure, unhitch-
ed the horses from his harouche and
dragged the vehicle to the depot. Mr..
Miller made third speech at the de.
pot and was hailed by the throng as
the next governor of Virginia and the
future president of The United States"

DEATH OF ]. ]. TAYLOR.
Well Known Directory Man Expires
Suddenly from Heart Disease.

Joseph James Taylor, manager OF the
Taylor Directory company and one or
the most prominent Masons In the city,
died suddenly last night Of heart dis
ease.
He was on his way to The mass meet
Ing In the armory about $50 O'CLOCK

nue. near Linden street, he was seen to
stagger and place his hand to his side
A woman. who was standing at her
gate nearby. asked him If he was III,
and he replied that he felt very weak
and would like to lie down. She bade
him go to her house and rest. and she
would go for a doctor. Before the doc
tor could be brought he expired.
The remains were taken to Prices
undertaking establishment and pre-
pared for burial. Coroner Roberts
made an investigation and decided no
inquest was necessary. Later the re"
mains were taken to the family home
at SAL Prescott avenue.
Mr.. Taylor was thirty-two years of
age. He was born in Baltimore. and
was ship painter by trade. He gave
up his trade to enter the directory busi-
ness and six years ago. shortly after
issued a directory of Scranton He con-
tinued in this work yearly. and also
compiled and published a directory of
Carbondale. Bloomsbury. Danville and

gagged in directory work he acted as a
collector on The Tribune.
He was eminent commander of Occur
de Lion commandery, Knights Temp
lars, Il member of the Mystic Shrine,
and prominent in Peter Williamson

The deceased. though q resident of
Scranton but comparatively short
time. had an extensive acquaintance
through his business connections and of
each acquaintance he made friend by
his affability and sterling. honest char
acter. His home life was an extremely
happy one. and a great grief indeed is
brought by his untimely death to his
wife and mother his only surviving
relatives. Second only to their sorrow
is that which his fellow employees are
made to feel.

None of these places worked yester-
day, but all will. it is expected, open
up today. The company had made the
ten per cent offer. but neglected to
join in the agreement stipulati that
the advance was to be made up by de-
creasing the price of powder to s15O
per keg and adding 2la cents to the
price per car The management claimed
this would mean an advance of from
twelve to fifteen per cent. and declined
to make any such terms. The men
were steadfast in their determination
to have the company specify how the
advance was to be made, and when
they did not return to work yesterday,
the company concluded to fall into line
with the other companies and permit
a general resumption
Two of the only three collieres still
tied up by labor troubles are the For

bald, where the men have been on
strike for over seven months. The
notices posted by the company, in con-
formity with the action of the other
companies, accord the men all they
were asking, except the curtailment of
the size of the mine ton. This difficulty
is now in process of adjustment and
may be removed at conference which
is to be had this morning between Cen

committee of the men.
The other tied-up colliery is that OF

all the demands of the men, but they
are such as are thought not to be i'm
possible of amicable and speedy adj
juslment. The matter is being threshed
out by representatives of the company
and the men. and in the course of a
few days it is likely the trouble will
be settled,
