EOT GRANT THE DEMANDS

HazletOn, Pa, Oct. 29.-The Lehigh
and Wilkesbarre Coal company, oper-
ating the Audenried, Honey Brook and
Green Mountain collieries in this dis
trict, has not yet complied with the
demands Of the anthracite miners. It
is said that the company will grant the
concessions by Nov 1, when work will
be resumed There will be no re-
sumption Of work at the Milnesville
colliery, which is operated by the A..
S. Van Wixyle estate. Owing to an
agreement with the Pennsylvania rail-
road the officials say they cannot af-
ford to grant an increase of 10 per cent.
and If the men return to work they
will have to be content with the old
rate of wages. The Van Wickle COM
pany has granted the increase at its
other oollierles at Coleraine and
Beaver Meadow, and the men in these
mines resumed work this morning.
II is said that Calvin Pardee, owner
Of the Lattimer. mines, will not take
back those men who struck before the
mines were closed down by 800 march
ers some weeks ago.
The nremen and brakemen on the
Delaware Susquehanna and Schuylkill
railroad have submitted number OF
demands to the railroad officials. The
former demand that 80 hours consti-
tute three shifts, and that they be paid
81 for the same instead of S5.10, which
they receive at present. The brake
men demand an increase of 10 per cent
in wages. The engineers have no
grievances. This railroad is owned by
Coke Bros. & Co., which operates six
collieries in this region, and was built
for the purpose of hauling coal from
its mines to the tracks of the Lehigh

HARRELL'S STORY
 IS CORROBORATED 
Lock Box 559 Contained Ex-
 actIy What He Said.
WHALLEN WILL BE INDICTED
The Contest Committees on the Goebel. Taylor Case Were Drawn, and Democrats Got Ten Mem
 bers Out of Eleven

Frankfort Ky, January 4.-It is unof
 ficially announced tonight that the Frank
 lin county grand jury has found indict-
 ments against Colonel John H. Whallen and Charles Ryan, who, it is alleged. att tempted to bribe Senator Harrell in the governorship contests.
 The indictments are based on conspiracy, and win be similar to those returned against w. Godfrey Hunter, John H. Will son, k. q7. Franks and others in the Hun ter alleged bribery cases growing out of
 the HunterABfackburn senatorial contest in | 1897.
 The safety deposit box which Harrell designated as holding the money was turn-
 ed over to the grand jury today and was found to.eontain four $1,000 bills and five s1OO bills. The money was sealed up in d plain wlrfte envelope without writing. This corroborates Harrelrs story. The democratic leaders in the legislature
 decided tonight to take the ballot for United States senator next Tuesday. As 1t seems settled in advance that Blackburn will re- ceive majority in each house, joint bal lot will probably not be necessary. There | is a question to whether the ballot should be taken next Tuesday or Tuesday weeli

REMARKABLE RUN
Trains Make an Average of 65 Miles an
 Hour

Atlanta, Ga., January A most remark Southern railway today by special ar ranged for on short notice. The trip was from Salisbury, N. C., to Atlanta, and the solitary passenger who occupied the single car was G. H. Penniman, of 107O Fifth ave- nue, New York
 MT. Pennman was passenger on the Southern's southwester.. limited from New York. At Salisbury he strolled through the train, and by mistake sat down in the Jacksonville sleeper, which was detached at the North Carolina City Junction. He did not discover his mistake until some time after the limited had left, but quickly communicating with President Spencer, ar ranged for a special. The limited was one hour and thirty-seven minutes behind time when it left Salisbury. The railway of fcials ordered everything laid up, and gave Mr. Penniman's train the right of way in its endeavor to catch his regular train.
 The limited rolled into Atlanta twenty minutes late after remarkably rapid run, and was followed just ten minutes later by the special, which left Salisbury two hours after the limited.
 The 313 miles between Salisbury and Att lanta were covered by the New Workers special in 27s minutes, including stops. The fastest hours continuous run was seventy miles, made between Salisbury and Green vile, and the train did not at any time make speed less than at the rate of sixty three miles an hour.
 MT. Penniman said his anxiety to catch the limited was caused by an engagement ito meet his daughter in the City of Mex leo. and oecalss his valet and clothes were on the train.

tees were sworn in tonight and 1t is prob- able that the joint committee will organize and get down to work, taking evidence to- morrow.
 In the drawing over the formation of the legislative contested election committees, the results were somewhat more evenly di- vided. In the case of the two senatorial contests the republicans got only one mem Der out of nine of each committee, but in the house they got maiorities on ten out of the eighteen committees which will try contests.
 The senate completed it's drawing at the morning session and the only incident con- nected- with it was when Senator Howard (republican) objected to Senator fGoebePs name being placed in the box.
 Objected to Goebel
 Senator Goebel rose from his seat and said: "Under the law the names of all sena- tors present must be placed in the box, but beg to assure the senator that if my name should be drawn out I, of course, will not serve"
 The house was occupied until late in the evening with the drawing of the Legislative committees, and there was nothing note worthy in the proceedings until the gov ernorship committee had been announced and just before the drawing for the com mittee on the lieutenant governor contest.
 Representative Haswel, leader of the. re- publican Slajority, charged Chief Clerk Ed o. Leigh with manipulating the ballots so as to give the democrats the advantage Haswell and Representative Berry, repre- senting the republicans, stood at the clerks desk as the names of the members were placed in the box, and when the last name was placed in it, Haswel walked to his seat and addressed the house charging that Leigh in placing the names in the box had systematically thrown the names of tine democratic members on the right side of the box and in like manner had thrown the names of the republican mem- bers to the left. He said he did not know how it happened that the democrats got such majority on the governors contest committee drawn a few minutes before; 0he did know how the ballots had been put in the box for the drawing now and he asked that the clerk at least be required to shake the box thoroughly so as to mix the names as contemplated by law.
 Speaker Trlmble invited Haswel or any other republican member to shake the box, but they declined to do this. saying that this was the duty of the clerk.
 MT. Berry, republican, asked the speaker to allow members to inspect the box in order to veryify the charge made by him and Haswel in mentioning the alleged man ner in which the names had been placed in the box, but MT. Cantdill democrat, said that the charges made by Haswell and Berry were serious, and that as long as they had waited till the drawing was prac- tically completed he thought they should be compelled to file them in the proper way and not merely verbally and person. ally, as they were doing.
 Speaker Trimble finally ordered the box thoroughly shaken and this was done, with the result that six democrats and two re. publican names were drawn.

cLEveLAMD's VIEWS.
HE WANTS THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY REORGANIZED.

(By Telegraph to Virginian- Pilot)
Atlanta. Ga, Dec. 1.-THE Atlanta
Journal this afternoon published an
interview with former President Glove
land. obtained by n staff correspondent
at Princeton, N. j. Mr.. Cleveland is
quoted as:
In my opinion the great need of the
Democratic party is n return of first
principles. The Democratic party has
not been fatally dsorganized, but It
sadly needs rehabilitation on purely
Democratic lines.
what is the matter with the party?
1t has in my humble judgment simply
wandered off after strange gods. a
large mass of Democratic voters saw
this before the last election. They re-
manned quiet. but when the time came
to vote they said: This is not Demo-
cracy.' and refused to support 1t.
''As I see it, it is the duty of the
Democrats everywhere to aid in the
rehabilitation of the party. There are
some signs of an nslstence upon the
necessity of return TO Democratic
doctrines in the South but they are not
so general as would like to see.'
What of tho futurc?" was asked.
with sincere return TO It's old time
doctrines" Mr.. Cleveland replied. the
old time victories of the Democratic
party will certainly be Won"
