Hazleton, Oct. 2J.-Prasident Mitchell
last night announced ihdt he would to-
day, probably late in the afternoon or
evening, issue statement defining tho
position of the United Mine Workers In
the present situation of the strike. He
also said that his statement would, in
all likelihood, indicate whether the
strike would be Immediately declared of
or whether 1t would be continued.
This announcement was made as the
result of yesterdays conference between
the national and district officers cf the
United Mine Workers, The impression
around headquarters is that the state
ment will contain practically dcclara-
tion that the contest is ended. Coal COM
panies controlling about - percent Of

ell will not say that all of them comply
with the terms Of the Scranton conven-
ton.
The big companies in the district that
have not posted the notices are the l.c-
high Coal and Navigation company, G.

The MarKies n.v- granted no increase of
any kind.

three hours. President Mitchell, at its
conclusion, announced that the situation
was partly canvassed, and that the re-
view would be completed today.

HILBERT of the American National Fed :

the call for the national convention of

Dec. II next. Secretary Hilbert, after
urging all unions in the federation to
send strong delegates. says:
"The chief rca son why this convention
was taken so far south is for the pur-
pose of giving the textile workers of the
southern states a chance to be repre-
santed, and at the same time to help the
cause of organization in that part of the
country. You have all heard of south
ern competition, and how tho manufac-
turers of the north propose to bring
you down to the level of the underpaid
labor of the south. and, but for the de-
termined stand taken by the unions in
this federation, they would have sue
cceded in their efforts. 1t is the aim of
this proposed federation TO effect a COM
plete organization of the south. and
through organization to bring up the
poorly-paid southern operatives to the
highest standard of the NORTH

VS.. Empire,

The Atlantic Trust Company of Baltimore
has come TO grief 1t was organized about
two years ago, but has been more of a paper
concern than reality. 1t was launched by
persons who actually believed that there was
real and substantial prosperity in the country.
There are other paper companies in Balti-
more, and the business stagnaiion and gen.
eral slump that is sure to come before another
year may witness some of them being Grip
pied. The boosted prosperity of the country
is not experienced to any large degree by the
people. Wars have caused activity in EN-
balmed beef, canned goods, army clothing,
tents and other equipments, small arms, am
munition, cannon, armor plate and collins,
but all these were paid for by extra taxation
and the few have been benefited at the ex-

The Baltimore Evening News last week
published an interview with Elk Mayor La

Mckinley would carry Maryland by 10000
majority. On Tuesday the News published
another interview with Mr.. Latrobe, and
quotes him as saying the majority might be
only 10000, and also that he, the Ex-Mayor,
may vote for Bryan. For his first interview
Mr.. Latrobe was severely criticised. The

interview was not genuine report of his
feelings and purposes. Ex-Mayor Latrobe is
too good Democrat and been too often

In the Circuit Court for Carroll County, sit
ting as a Court of Equity.
Mary S. Allison, Plaintiff, VS.. Thomas L. Al
lison, Defendant.
The object of this bill is 10 procure divorce
a vinculo matrimonii by the complainant.
The bill recites that the parties were married
on the 11ih day of January, A. ID. 1850, in
Carroll county, Maryland; that they lived to-
gether as husband and wife III said county
until 1875, when the defendant abandoned
and deserted the plaintiff; that he, the de-
PENDANT. is a nonresident of the State of
Maryland; that the conduct of the plaintiff
towards the defendant was always kind, virtu-
Gus and above reproach; that the said defend
ant without cause or reason abandoned and
deserted the plaintiff, as aforesaid, and that
such abandonment has continued uninter
ruptedly for more than three years and is de-
liberate and final, and the separation of the
plaintiff and the defendant IS beyond any rea-
sonable expectation of reconciliation; that no
children has been born to the plaintiff from
said marriage.
1t is thereupon this ID day of August, A.
d. 1900, ordered by the Circuit Court for
Carroll County, sitting as Court of Equity,
that the complainant by causing copy Of this
order to be inserted in some weekly news
paper published in Carroll County, once a
week for four successive. weeks before the 3rd
day of September, 1900, give notice 10 the
said absent defendant of the object and sub
stance of this bill, and warn him to be and
appear in this Court in person or by solicitor,
ON or before the 10Th day OF September, 1900,
to answer the said bill and show cause, if any
he may have, why a decree should not pass as
prayed.

For the pemocratlc Advocate.

EDS. ADvocATE-I wish every Republican
in Carroll could have witnessed the proceed
ings of the Republican county convention,
and observed how the oflice-holders formed
a fringe 10 the body of delegates and saw that
the machine made kind stood up to their
work. Indeed one ofice-holder held a scat
as delegate by proxy, and he was general
floor manager for the machine, assisted by the
Mt. Airy postmaster, also delegate. He
objected to having district represented that
gives a hundred Republican majority, because
the delegate was without written credentials,
though there were several precedenis for
seating him. He also shut off that veteran
Republican and earnest worker, Col. Nickel
lip, who desired TO make some explanation of
the primary meeting at Uniontown. Custom
House officials, Mt. Airy, Manchester and
Westminster postmaslers. and an ex-Fire
Marshal, now living in Washington, were
much in evidence. They rammed it i'll,
jammed it in, and they can do the ramming
and jamming on election day. Their bossism
is intolerable. The people have no say. Let
them see if they can get along without the
people at the polls. New WINDSOR.
