WILKESBARRE. Pa. Sept. PA num-
Der of hoodlums tried to wreck a train
on the Central Railroad of New Jersey
this evening. The train carried several
cars of washery coal. and the men who
prepared it. The attempt was made at
South Wilkesbarre just before dusk, a
rail being placed on the track while the
hoodlums took position behind a low of
cars and bombarded the train and the
workmen it carried. There was great ex-
citement for a time. The train came
from the No. Stanton coliiery of the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company,
and on the cars were the twenty men en-
ployed at the washery.
There has been very bitter feeling
against them and three times they have
been stoned at the workings. Tonight be-
fore they quit work a number of women
hooted them. but were driven OFF the com
pany's property. When the train reached
South Wiikesbarre, the engines- saw a
rail on the track, and as he was running
slowly he managed to stop before reach
ing IL. As the train slowed Up some
twenty or thirty hoodlums. using a line
of cars as a barricade, hurled stones and
coal at the non-union men, who got down
between the cars to escape the volleys.
The engineer and some of the crew
lifted the rail from the track and the
train went on without an attempt being
made to capture any OF the men who
continued the fusillade until the train vas
out of sight. Some of the men on the
train were hit. but were not hurt.

Tho meeting had been well advertised

tiOn. Mr.. Mattingly was elected President
Of the club when IL was organized. but

After few preliminary remarks he intro
dueed as the speaker of the evening Judge

who was received with generous applause
In the course of his address, the dei 1ery

many telling points of his argument caught

Ante-EIection Threats and Promises
Not Moving the SaIesmeH.

The Republican managers are now work
ing shrewd scheme to win over the army
of commercial travellers. 1t has been known
for some time that the commercial travel
ers, who did such effective work for Nc
Kinley in 1896. were supporting Bryan in
this campaign with the same yigor and
heartiness that marked their work for the
Republican ticket four years ago. The
Democrats have learned of the trick now
being played by the Republican managers
and are exposing il. At Democratic head
quarters last night it was said the promise
of a position in the event of McKinley's
reelection will not fool the commercial
travellers this time, especially as the prom
Use comes from the trusts.
Word has been passed along the line at
the instance of Mark Hanna that only the
success Of Mckinley will mean Jobs for
the statesmen who have been thrown out of
employment by consolidation OF various in
dustries.
Commercial travellers in every section of
the United States are receiving circulars
bearing the names of the trusts controlling
their respective fields Of trade. They are
asked to accept positions Subject to the
election of Mckinley
Here is a part of one Of the letters sent
out by the Montclair Rubber Company, of
New York City, a branch of the Rubber
Trust. to a Chicago travelling man:

These letters are being sent broadcast
by the trusts. Business houses throughout
