T.sIEW ELL, A.N., October 16.-To-day
is court day in aazewci and perhaps one
OF the largest crowds ever in attendance
were assembled 10 hear the political
'sDealsing OF Montague and Jeffries for
the Democrats, and Hoge and 1ost for the
Republicans. The Republicans occupied
the courtroom and the Democrats the
lawn east of the courthouse. All speakers
had good attention..
Montague made one of the best speeches
on The issues Of ;he campaign that has
been n,lds at tHts place for many years
and he vas continually Interrupted by
hearty applause from his audience. He
made q good impression. and if his plain
ness and earuestness has made no voters
in Tazcwc!l, it IS because CT hardened
heads rather than sound convictions
Mr.. ,Ieffries is likewise a stranger to
the people OF Tazewell except by reputa-
ton, yet he made an earnest appeal TO
the voters and an impression that should
do much good.
Among the Democratic audience We're
many Republicans, Notwithstanding the
aid of the Blusfield band had been i'm
ported TO help Republicans hold their
crowd
BOTH PARTIES SPOKE
MAFION, VA, October 16.-Ilavins had
just a week ago a largely attended circus
in town. the usual oouTt-day crowd failed
TO put in an appearance yesterday, al
though there was political speaking by
both parties.
The Democrats occupied the courthouse
and heard Hon. Tate Irving. elector for
this district, discuss the issues of the
canvass in a we'll prepared speech. He
was followed by col. j. A. Faw. OF Bristol.
who in style peculiarly his own kept
his audience ni&hiy entertained, While he
gave them in bright and breezy language
his ideas Of the issues now before the
people.
Gen James a. Walker spoke for two
hours in the courthouse yard, and from
the applause he received, had an appreci-
ative audience.
Both sides will probably claim to have
had the larger half of the crowd in at
tendance. A gentleman who watched the
crowds more than the speeches says when
the speaking began there was not much
difference in the crowds, but that as it
progressed the Democratic audience grew
at the expense OF the other

close all of the ten co,ieres of the LehiSIl

as the weary marchers were nearing their
destination this morning they were met on
mountain road by three companies Of
infantry and at the point of the bayonet
We're driven back four miles, to Tamaqra
and dispersed. Another crowd of 500
strikers from the north side of Hazleton
also marched here and succeeded in closing
the comfaiNs No. i colliery a Nesquehon-
ing, near Mauch Chunk, before it was seat
tered, The presence OF the soldiers was
entirely unexpected and the strikers were
much crestfalien that they failed in ac-
compl!shing the object OF their long march.
WAS NO CONFLICT.
Il was probably the most exciting morn
ing that the Panther Creek and Mosque
honing valley have ever experienced. The
strikers were scattered over the various
roads and companies of soldiers We're
scurrying n all directions heading off the
maclling men. The troops were patient
with the mob of strikers, While the labor
men We're very careful not TO commit
. overt acts in the presence Of troops. For
a moment just after the two forces met
on the road in the. darkness, it looked as
# a clash would come, but the good sense
Of those VINO had charge OF the strikers
prevented a possible conflict.
There We're several fife and drum
: corps ana a brass brand in the line. The
women and girls were conveyed in two
large omnibuses. Five carriages contain
ing newspaper correspondents We're re-
quested to take the lead so that they
would not interfere with the plans Of the
strikers.
At point half mile from Coaldale
there is a sharp turn in the road and
as the newspaper men rounded it, there
came a command of Halt and about
4ifty feet in front of them were soldiers
who were stretched across the road with
bayonetS fixed.

that the soldiers evidently meant bus

of the troops, but she was shut off and

1T ANGERED THE WOMAN
MRS. MERIT M'KAIN OBJECTED To
HER CROss-ExAMINATION.
Her RetOrt to the Attorney Was Much
to the Point-Other'FcderaI
Court Cases.

Judge Baker and a jury listened to parts
of two trials in the United States Court
yesterday. The hearing of the evidence in
the case of William Hampton was resumed
yesterday morning and completed at noon,
when the argument of counsel and instruc-
ton Of the jury were deferred until 4
o'clock in the afternoon.
In the meantime the trial of Merit Nc
Kahn and Albert Daugherty, Of Van Buren,,
Grant county. Indiana, was commenced.
The unique feature of this case, which is
based upon a charge of counterfeiting dimes
and nickels, is that one of the govern
ment's principal witnesses is Mrs. Merit
McKain, who is also a defendant in a suit
brought by McKain in the Grant county
court to have their marriage annulled.
When Mrs. McKain was on the witness
stand yesterday afternoon delivering her
testimony she was greatly annoyed oy
questions from defendants counsel bear
ing on the subject of the estrangement be-
tween her husband and herself. Finally,
the witness grew tired of this line of cross
examination and burst out iercely with
the retort: well, L did not know this was
a divorce case; l thought it was to find
out II these men are counterfeiters." Mrs.
cKa is said to have told Secret Service
Officer Halls where he could find the molds

alleged TO have been made. The further
hearing of evidence was postponed from
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon TO this morn
ing.
Judge Baker is noted for the celebrity
with which he anage TO have cases
tried in his court. In the Hampton case.
the arguments of Assistant District At
tcrney Lafollette and Frank b. Burke, to-
gether with the judges Instructions to
the jury, were all completed between 4 and
8 o'clock. Judge Baker directed the
jury to go at once to it's room, organize
and elect a foreman, after which 1t would
be allowed to separate for supper, re-
Stunning its deliberations at z o'clock. The
understanding was that If a verdict should
be made up by 10 o'clock il should be
sealed and retained by the foreman to
be opened and read in court this morning.
If not, the jury must return to its room
in the federal building at s o'clock this
morning and balloting again.
Hampton is the young mulatto who is said
TO have carried away and riied a mail
box in Lafayette several months ago.

Railway managers In all parts OF the
country have under consideration the abol-

on passenger trains; in fact. on a dozen or
more prominent systems they have already
been dropped, and others will take sim

says: 81 think the day of the news train
agent is gradually drawing to a close, and
it Will not be many years, If. in fact, 1t
will be many months, before they become
one of the things of the past. The privilege
of selling newspapers. periodicals. candy.
nuts and various knick-knacks on trains at
one time brought a handsome return TO
railway companies. and naturally a hand
somer return 20 the news agency controll-
ing such privilege. There is no money,
or at least very little money. in the bust
ness for the news company to-day. The
department stores undersell them, and the
traveller of to-day usually provides himself
or herself with all the reading matter and
other articles which go TO make up a days
pleasure on a passenger train before they
leave on their journey. They can make
these purchases In a department store a
little more cheaply than they can make

method OF handling the news privileges on

way, and unless IT is closely watched by
the officers oS the railway company il be-
comes a nuisance. One of the prominent
news agencies, controlling these train priv
lleges on a number of Western lines, re-
Gently made the statement that it would
voluntarily, commencing with the year 1901,
withdraw its agency on a large number of
Western lines. as there was no money and
a good deal of work and unsatisfactory re-
suits in the present methods. L believe the
new scheme will work, and work well and
