TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
The Strike.


Hszsltop, Ps., Sept. 26.-Quiet pre-
walls in this region this morning. The
statement that soldiers would soon be
here had the effect of stopping the
marching and psradiDg OF strikers;
Three Hungarian miners were arrested
this morning for trying to dissuade
miners from going to work. The arbl'
tration proposition OF Msrkle u 20: 10
condemned by the strikers. 1t ID SAID,
however, that the employees OF two OF
the Markle collieries will vote for re-
sumption of work. All of Coxe's COL
leries are working today.
Scranton, Pa, Sept. 26.-lt is gener-
alIy understood that an effort will be
made before the end Of the week, by
the D.. L. & w. Company TO operate 8
number of their mines. Yesterday one
of their washeries which had been
closed for lack OF men was again set 10
operation, and the bosses declare that
every mine belonging to the company
will be working just as soon as the or
der is given to start.
Mahauoy City, Pa, Sept. 26.-The
strike situation at Shenandoah ana
Mahanoy City for the past twenty-iour
hours has been uneventfnl. All the
collieries in both districts are idle ex-
cept small individual concern, which
| is supplying the local trade. AT Ash
land the Bast, Potts and Locust Spring
| colleries are working but with reduced
| forces of workmen. The strike Is
spreading south of the Schuylkill region.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept, 26.-This has
been a quie. day among the strikers OF
the Wyoming region. The Mocauaqua
coliery of the West End Coal Company,
the only place in the district which has
not shut down since the strike began,
continues 10 operation, 80 per cent OF
the men being at work today. Addl-
tional orders were received by Col.
Dougherly this morning to make every
preparation necessary TO move tile 9lh
regiment at an hours notice, should a
clash occur at any point iD this or any
of the regions.
Shamokln, Pa, Sept. 26-No more
attempts to operate local collierles Will
be made til the strike Is ended. The
order to abandon the Cameron mine
has been Withdrawn by the Mineral
Company. Efforts to organize the Ire
yorton miners last night were foiled by
clever ruse on the part of the citizens.
The men who congregated last night to
listen to arguments by organizer Erd
man were distracted by two brass
bands, employed by citizens, and turn
ed away from the speaker to follow the
musicians. Ia this way the meeting
was broken up. AS result, the Ire
vorton colliery is working full today.
The Midavalley mine at Mount Carmel
continues in operation today with
about one-third Of the former force at
work.
The Bellevue washery OF the D. L., q
w. Co. resumed work this morning.

New York, Sept. 26. Insurance cir
cles were startled this morning by the
report of Insurance Examiner Wander
poel, who has been investigating the
affairs OF the Traders Fire Insurance
Company, which recently went into the
hands of a receiver. Vanderpoel re.
ports that the statement of the COM
psny's affairs to December 81 last,

WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEPT. 26. 1900

TuAr PuRITANIsM among the North
ern republicans is as rank now as /!
ever was. is proved by the fact that
some of their organs accuse the people
of the South of keeping up the sec
tionsl line, simply because they choose
to exercise their right to vote the DEM
ocratic ticket, in accordance with their
convictions and to maintain their al
lignment with their political allies IN
the North. But the age has pro-
cressedn too far for the idea ever to
prevail again, that Northern repuDli-
cans know what is good for the South,
better than the people do who live IN
the South. One OF the newspapers re-
ferred to is so bigoted that 1t even says
the practical fruits of the carpet bag
gers were valuable, rather than dele'
FERROUS to this section. People
who talk that way may thinK
they are right, but they are so
blinded by their prejudice and ignorance
that they are not amenable to reason,

would not be disabused Of their cher
ished opinions, though one should rise

Twisted Neck Causes Mania.

New York, Sept. 26.-The case of
Miss Anna Morgan, of Brooklyn, is one
that is to be discussed in medical publ
cations. Miss Morgan, who is 80 years
of age, had a stroke of paralysis last
March for which she was treated in a
hospit al. As she improved physically
her mind in inverse ratio became cloud
ed and she became seized with weird
religious mania. She was sent to a
Manhattan neurologist, who, suspect
ing disturbance OF the spinal chord,
made an examination and discovered a
dislocation of the stlas--thst section OF
the yertebrae Immediately supporting
the skull. 1t was twisted and moved
to the right on lis bed of cartilage. This
had caused distractions of the circula.
ton and disturbance of the nervous
system, which accumulated the patents
special mental weakness, producing re-
lgious mania. He reduced the disloca-
ion wi bout difficulty. The patients
mind instantly became clear.

One OF the most puzzling curiosities
In figures has come 10 light 10 the
enumeration of this census, and the
statisticisns have no data upon which
to work for an explanation. With the
announcement OF The population of
Savannah there had been ISL cities
counted, the total population of which
was about l9,0O0,000. 10 the ten wears
from 1880 to 1890 these cities showed a
total increase in population of 4 63O.
333. while in the period between 1890
and 1900 the gain was 1859, 500. The
gain in the two decades were therefore
within less than II, 900 Of each other 10
che 100000, or less than l per cent,
a most remarkable freak of moving pop.
ulation. Deficiencies is some cities were
more than made up by gains in others
Some claim that the development Of
the suburbs in certain sections is re-
sponsible for the lack Of anticipated
growth in some cities.

For A LONG time there has been III
accord, if not worse feeling, between
che Mayor, the Police Commissioner
and the police of this city. The police
department of any city, in order to be
efficient, must be under one head
Other municipal departments may, pos
sibly, be managed by different chiefs,
but never the police, for if responsible
ity can be shifted, discipline is at an
end and efficiency is utterly destroyed.
A triple headed police force is worse
than none at all.

The larger portion of the American
army in China has been ordered away
from that country. and to go to the
Philippine Islands. Judging from the
casualty list of the last two days in the
u. s. army, already in those islands, 1t
seems advisable that the stay Of that
army and of its reinforcement there
should be as limited as possible, as, il
prolonged, none of it will be left.

THE white republicans OF Orange

can campaign club. from which all
negroes were excluded. As the only
really effective strength the republicans
have in Orange county, or, for that mat

from the negroes, why the latter should
be excluded from republican clubs, the
latter certainly can't tell, though the
