ARRESTED FOR MARCHING.
Three strikers Lodged in Jail in De-
fault of Hail.

wILKEsBARRE, Pa, Sept. 25.-The
leaders of three crowds OF marching
strikers, who were arrested at Derringer
this morning by Sheriff Harvey and his
deputies, were brought to this city this
afternoon, given a hearing before Alder
man Kemmerer, and sent to jail in default
of bail. They are John Gallagher Michael
Gull, and John Brennan. The charge was
conspiracy and 1t was alleged that the
prisoners led an all-night march from
Silyerbrook and Audenriei, leaving their
homes at IL o'clock last night. At about
4:30 this morning they arrived at Derrin-
ger, where colliery is operated by the
Coke Bros, at the head of about seventy
five fellow-strikers.
Sheriff Harvey and his deputies were no
titled and hurried to Derringer. expecting
trouble When the roads leading to the
associates were found In the centre OF a
small crowd that had surrounded a number
OF men on their way to work. The crowd
was using all its persuasive powers to keep
the men from their work and had succeed
ed in frightening them when the sheriff
arrived Sheriff Harvey called on the
crowd to disperse and when none obeyed
he read the riot act to the strikers.
Deputy Uffalaussey a Polander. then
Polanders, in number about fifty. withdrew
from the roadway and cleared the way for
the men on their way to work The Eng
lish speaking strikers were defiant. The
sheriff appealed In vain and then decided
on making arrests. He singled out Gal
lagher, Gull, and Brennan, who appeared
to be the leaders, and with Deputy Uffa-
laussey and A. e. obberdeiner. company
clerk and deputy, placed them under ar
rest. The GROVE then dispersed.
Gallagher. Gull and Brennan were
brought to this city and arraigned before
Alderman Kenfnerer. They were charged
with conspiracy upon the information of
the deputies, whose affiday''s charged them
with having conspired to injure the men
at the Derringer mines and the property
Of the Cross Creek Company.
The alderman held Gallagher under $500
bail and his companions under $500 each
for their appearance at court. In default
they were sent to jail

THE QUESTION TOO POINTED.
Dalze1I Fails to Reply to an Anti
Imperfnlist Query.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Cooper Union
rang with Republican oratory tonight,
supplied by three speakers. chief of whom
was Hanna. Representative Dalzell. of
Pennsylvania. was the first speaker. and
he had not gone far before ne saw that
he was going to be interrupted pretty
often by the audience. Once there came
shout from a good many voices in uni
son, Bryan. Bryan" Mr.. DalzelI did not
take any notice of this, bat the crowd
did. and cheered Justify. When he began
to give figures showing the country's pros
perity, he was again interrupted:
How many millions Of dollars have we
spent in numbering Filipinos?" asked a
man in the rear of the hall. Mr.. Dalzell
did not respond.
John Barrett ex-Minister to Siam, was
introduced as the next speaker. Mr.. Bar
rett's speech was very short and his re-
marks were almost exclusively confined TO
the question of Imperialism.
When Mr.. Barrett concluded his speech
the audience rose en- masse as the band
played the Star Spangled Banner" Sem
ator Hanna. who had withdrawn from the
platform, reappeared. Senator Hanna
sketched the history OF the past four years
and said the real issue was Mckinley
against Bryan. He harped awhile on his
cid idea that Mckinley ard prosperity were
synonymous terms, and then appealed to
workingmen to vote the Republican ticket
il they wished to follow their best inter-
ests

WILLING TO MAKE CONCESSIONS
Operators. However, Object to Reeog-
MIXING the Union.


MIXING the Union.
SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 25.-It was
learned today from a reliable source that
the operators. out of respect for public
sentiment, have decided to make conces-
sions to the miners. including a rear
rangement of the powder question. They
have reached a decision to meet with their
men and prepare basis of settlement OF
all their troubles.
The only obstacle, 1t is said, to the con-
summation of this is the recognition OF
the United Mine Workers organiZo ton.
The operators say that they will not, un-
der any circumstances, recognize this
union because they allege that it is con-
trolled by soft coal men, and that they
absolutely reserve the right to settle their
differences directly with their own men.
1t is declared that the big companies
will be prepared Thursday to grant con-
cessions, provided that at that time the
men are actually working and in their en-
ploy 1t appears that the strike and the
threats of strike have brought to the
attention of the leading officials Of the
operating companies in a more marked
manner than ever before the grievances
of the men and some of these officials are
understood to have expressed their cptn-
ion that certain concessions would not be
more than fair.
Public sentiment and especially in con-
nection with the powder question, is also
understood to have been a material~fac-
tor in causing the operators TO reconsider
that part of the question. From a semi
official source it was learned today that
when work is resumed the terms of the
compromise will be made known, but the
operators adhere firmly to the decision
that in no way will the Mine Workers
Union be recognized.
The only complication appears to be
that the men are making as their strong
est demand the Official recognition of their
organization. While many miners are
anxious to settle the strike and return to
work regardless Cf the means by which
an amicabie settlement g reached, there
is an aggressive sentiment to remain out
until the union is recognized generally.
The strike situation today shows little
change. However at the headquarters OF
the strikers the announcement vas made
that they had reached one important de-
cision. II was to the effect that no set
Elements were to be made with the indi-
vidual operators, it matters not what con-
cessions might be made. This decision
was reached in the case of the Gibbons
Coal Company, OF this city, which had
agreed 70 recognize the miners union and
pay union scale of prices II the men would
be permitted to work. The executive
board refused TO compromise.
The coal famine in Scranton is now
causing much uneasiness. Almost double
the usual price is now charged for ton,
and it is impossible to secure the much
needed fuel at any price.

history of the country. one of the great
political parties. to wit. the Democratic
party-has adopted plank in its national
platform favoring the establishment of a
Department of Labor in the Cabinet of
the President
IF this proposition shall meet the ap-
proval of the American people by the cleo
tion of the Democratic national candidates
Department of Labor will be established,
which will aid materially in advancing the
interests of workingmen and adding to the
Importance and dignity of labor.
Government by Injunction.
'The Democratic platform declares
against what is popufarly known as gov
eminent by injunction. This phrase has
been much mlsapprehended and has been
subjected to many Misrepresentation.
That ancient legal writ has established
its usefulness and necessity during all the
period of our countrys history and is in
dispensable to the proper administra tion of
justice. The Importance of the writ as
legitimate instrumentality of the law can
not be overestimated, and no well-informed
man favors its destruction. 1t is equitable
in its nature and is the exercise of a ju-
dicial power to summarily restrain the do
ing % illegal acts, and for violation of its
commands the offending parties, may sum-
marily be punished for what is legally
termed contempt of court. 1t is a remedy
of farreaching results, involving the prop
erty, the rights and the liberties of cti-
zens. There is no question about the neces-
sity for the existence of this power of in
junction vested in the courts of the coun-
try-State and national But at the same
time 1t is clear that the abuse of this vast
power-the unrestrained and rash exercise
of it's little less than tyranny itself.
Even hasty and ill-considered action in it's
use may produce disastrous results. for
which there may be no adequate remedy.
The National Candidates.
THE election of Bryan and Stevenson
Will subserve the highest interests of the
country and aid the cause of humanity in
general. William ]. Bryan needs no eulogy
at my hands. His record. his history. his
official services, his views on all public
questions. and his private life are all an
open book and familiar to the people.
He is stronger with the masses than
four years ago; he is stronger today than
yesterday, and will be stronger tomorrow
than today. He is the friend Of the people
the friend of honest government, the friend
of every coed cause
He will be elected to the Presidency
of the United States.
New York can be carried for the ma
tional and State tickets by a hard and Wig
orous effort from now until election day.
1t Is folly, however, to underestimate your
adversaries. They are able. determined.
rich, powerful and entrenched in office and
spoils. and they can only be dislodged by
heroic exertions. Our cause is right. but
rightfulness alone Will not give us the VIC
tory
We must unite; we must organize; we
must work
Eternal vigilance is the price of poIit-
ical success"

Notwithstanding the increase cost. IN the

Senate were sent TO Paris last January 1t was
an absolute certainty that these high grade beers
of Heurich's brews which brewed of the very
best malt and hops purchasable. and are of proper
age before leaving the brewery, would take the
prize medal for purity and excellence Their
record by analysis made by the chemists of the
Agricultural Department was alo an assurance
that Heurich's would be awarded he prize medal
in competition against the entire world Phone

CAUSED BY A BROKEN RAIL.
Death Results From n Peculiar Acct
dent at SprJnsfeId, ILL.,


SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Sept 25.-Five
thousand visitors at The State fair today
saw horrifying sight that had not been
bareained for when admission was had to
the grounds. While hundreds Of people
waited at the railroad station to return
to Springfield on the suburban trains. they
saw an engine leave the track and dash
into another which was running along be-
side II. heard the crash as the two To-
comotives came together, and later saw
the mangled forms of an engineer and
fireman lying beneath the debris.
The dead:
JOHN RYAN. engineer.
JERRY HALL, fireman.
Seriously injured: a. j. Mack. switch
man.
The accident occurred when the visitors
at the fair were crowding to The station
platforms to return to the city The Chi
cago, Peoria and ST. Louis Railroad and
the Chicago and Alton, each have tracks
to the fair grounds The approach OF both
tracks to the suburban station is around
curve. When the engines appear com
ing around the curve they are within $50
yards OF the station. A broken rail in
the Chicago. Peoria and St Louis tracks
near the end of the curve caused the
wreck
Both suburban trains were approaching
their respective stations and we're run
ming side by side. at a high rate of speed
when the Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis
engine left the trSck and struck the Chi
cago and Alton engine. Both monsters
then tore into the fair grounds and struck
a house occupied by the superintendent
Of the grounds, partially demolishing it,
and here they stopped in a pile. The
bodies of Ryan and Hall were visible to
the crowd but the people were uowerIess
to get to them. 1t is supposed that both
were killed instantly
