,armly favored by NV. GRANGE.

warmly favored by Mr. Granger.
The attempt OF the Granger boomers 10
drag the names OF Messrs. Baker and Me-
Guinness into their shady political trans
actions is what prompted the remark
which heads this article: AN att empt to
put pair of gold binders on IA silver
horse"
The fact is that the Granger conspira-
tors see defeat ahead and are resorting
10 all sorts of expedlents to hoodwIri
the people, but the people refuse to be
hoodwinked. The Democrats, that Is. the
real Democrats, will go into the caucuscs
on Monday evening next, and will elect
delegates to the city convention. ami
these delegates will be for the candida .
of their choice, Ezra X. Perkins. The
rank and file OF the Democratic pa ty
has made IL clearly known that 1t lo's
not want Mr.. Granger in the mayor j
chair, but is willing to keep him in the
city treasurer's office.
The choice of. the Democratic party
will be spontaneous, and not the result
OF a conspiracy to deceive the people up
on the part of "a few men, and Mr.. Per-
kins said this morning that he had every
confidence in the men who had rallied to
his support. He said that he would go
into the caucuses in every ward and
there would be fair stand-up fight to
capture the delegations TO the city con-
ventions.
NOT AFFECTED BY MUD SINGING
"All the mud that is being flung at
me-" said Mr.. Perkins, will have no eff
feet upon my candidacy, as l expected II
from certain sources. l am, as / have al
ready stated, in the fight to stay. win or
lose"
Col Isaac l.. Con- was seen this morn
ing. but he had nothing to say in regard
TO the Republican campaign. for said he:
'-I am not in n position TO talk about
matters that have not yet been brought
officially 10 my attention"
The sentiment In favor OF Col. Goff.
however. as the Republican candidate for
mayor IL growing almost hourly. and
many OF the leading men OF the communi-
" have rendered him the pledges OF their
support. As matters stand today. IL looks
certainly as IN Col. Gon would be the
standard bearer OF his party and a win
ming one at that.
Col. Isaac M. Potter long known as
one OF leading Republicans In this city,
said this morning that I'm his opinion Col
Goff would make a splendid candidate,
and with him the Republicans ought to
win
The executive committee OF the Repub-
Iican city committee has decided To en-
dorse George 4. fittlcfold as the Re-
publican candidate for second representa-
tive, to fn the vacancy caused by the
resignation OF Judge John T. Blodgett. II
Is understood that Mr. +. u. v. OConnor
will be the Democratic candidate.

Striking Miners and Sympa-
thizers Forced to Retreat.
Had Planned to Make a Descent on the
Panther Greek Co||ieries, but Met
Troops Unexpectedly.

Lansford. Pa, Oct 16-About 1900 men
and 60 women and girls marched l6 miles
from the south side Hazelton region dur
ing the night for the Panther Creek val
ley where they expected TO close all OF
the 10 colieres OF the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation company, but just as the
weary marchers were nearing their des-
tination this morning they were met on
a mountain road by three companies of
infantry. and at the point OF the bayonet,
were driven back four miles to Tamaqua
and dispersed.
Another crowd OF 500 strikers from the
north side of Hazelton also marched here
and started into the company's closed
colliery No. ! at Nesquehoning, near
Mauch Chunk. before II was scattered.
The presence OF the soldiers was entirely
unexpected. and the strikers were much
crestfallen that they failed In accom-
plshing the object OF their long march.
AN EXCITING MORNING.
II was probably the most exciting
morning Panther Creek and the Mosque
honing valleys have ever experienced.

CHARRED
BODIES
FOUND.
Believed TO Be Those Of Col.
Fountain and His Son Who
Disappeared In 1896. /

Alamo Gordo, n. NJ, Oct. B-The
charred bodies of man and boy, sup
posed to be the remains of Col Al. Foun-
tain and his son. Henry. have been found
in the Sacramento mountains.
Col. Fountain and his son left Lincoln
for Las Cruces. the latter part of Janu-
airy, 1896. After leaving La Luz they dis.
appeared. About week later their buck
board was found near the Chalk Bluffs.
Nearby was a pool Of dried blood and a
few bloodstained coins. indicating the
scene of a tragedy. Fountain was a prom
inent lawyer and In the valise he carried
were indictments for the arrest OF n NAM
ber OF persons charged with cattle steal
ing. Several men suspected Of the murder
were arrested after a fight with the of-
ficers in which deputy sheriff was kill
ed. but all were acquitted for lack OF
evidence.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-10-16

Strikers were scattered over the various
roads and companies OF soldiers were
scurrying in all directions heading off
the marching men.
The troops were patient with the mob OF
strikers. while the labor men were very
careful not TO commit overt acts in the
presence OF the troops.
For a moment just after the two forces
met on the road I'm the darkness II looked
ss If a clash would come. but the good
sense OF those who had charge OF the
strikers prevented a conflict.
MARCH LONG PLANNED.
The march on Panther Creek Valley had
been in contemplation for several days.
The United Mine Workers ever since the
strike started have been attempting to
close the colleries OF the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Co.. In this region. Organizers
were constantly in the region but as a
rule they did not meet much success so
IL was decided TO use stronger methods 20
get the men employed in the ten mines
out on strike.
Accordingly IL was arranged that big
demonstration should be held I'm the val
ley. IL was TO have been held yesterday
morning. but-oMlHg- -te-tite-- heavy rain
and muddy roads IL was called off until
this morning.

Mr.. Kinnecom was on Mineral Spring

The game law was on yesterday. and
there was general exodus of gunners
from this city to the country ana there

At a quarter before - today in st. Ste
phen's church. Miss Charlotte Osgood
Tilden, daughter of Henry Tilden. Esq.
was welded TO Mr.. IA. Anthony Dyer,
son OF former Governor Elisha Dyer OF
this city.
In many distinctive features the we'd
ding was the most brilliant and the most
unique that Providence has seen for
many a year, for while the service was
a simple one IL was carried out I'm a way
that would remind one of the old English
wedding scenes so frequently described In
English literature.
II was, in fact, a typical churchly wed
ding, IN keeping with the ancient cere-
monials and rites OF the Church of Eng
land Long before the appointed hour the
church was filled with company OF rep
resentative people of this city and state,
together with many from other cities. no.
tably, New York and Boston, and while
the expectsnt throng waited. at precisely
quarter OF IL beautiful scene greeted
their eyes.
The white surpliced boy choir. number
ing 2s voices, came out from an inner
room adjacent TO the chancel and passed
down the side aisle, meeting the oridal

OF tulle fastened with orange blossoms.
In her hand she carried. instead of the
conventional boquet of bride roses, n
white ivory prayer book. the gift OF Gov.
Dyer.
AS the bridal party passed toward the
chancel the boy choir sang with exuui-
site effect the march from Lohengrin,
with words specially adapted. The scene
at this moment. was a beautiful one, and
might indeed have suggested an ideal for
the fancy OF the poet or the artist. At
the altar the bride was met by the groom,
attended by his best man. Col. George r.
L ger. Here while the boy choir softly
chanted the beautiful hymn, "Oh. Sacred
Love-" the marriage service was per-
formed by Rcv. DR.. Fiske, rector OF st.
Stephens, the father OF the bride giving
her away.
Following the ceremony the bridal
party left the church TO the strains Of
the organ. played by Mr.. William r. Ar
nOid, organist and choir director OF the
church.
Upon the passing OF the bridal party.
the boy choir passed from the chancel
to the inner room singing a occasional
hymn. Each member OF the choir wore
boutonniere of white pinks and the
ushers white gardenias.
The ushers wore frock coats and
white waist coats. white scarfs and white
gloves.

ExaspeTated Over the Announcement
That the Granger Boomers Have Al
ready Selected Delegates to City
ConVention--Mr Perkins Says He Can
not Be Frightened by Mud Throwing

"The Granger boomers seem to be en-
gagged In an attempt to put pair of gold
binders on silver horse" said a prom
inent citizen this morning.
This witty remark was brought about
by the statement OF the Granger con-
spirators to the effect that they had al
ready selected the delegates to the city
convention in all the wards, which, by
the way, is fully in keeping with their
nomination of candidate for the mayor
atty without any regard to the wishes of
the Democratic party of the city
Just how the Democrats will accept this
selection OF delegates In the interest OF
Mr.. Granger, by few irresponsible men,
who are acting solely upon their own re-
sponsibility and TO feather their own
nests, prior 10 the holding Of the Demo-
cratic caucuses, remains TO be seen, but
II Is more than probable that the rank
and file of the party will vigorously re-
sent this Interference with their rights as
citizens and voters.
GRANGER TICKET COMPLETE.
These few men. without any regard for
the rights OF others, utterly Indifferent to
public interests and public welfare impu-
night that the Granger tickets I'm about
all the wards are already completed"
Completed by whom and by what au-
thorlty?" said n Democratic business man
and taxpayer this morning. II guess the
members OF the Democratic party I'm
this city who are in favor OF honest mu-
ncipal government and sound money, and
who believes i'm government by the people,
Of the people and for the people, will have
a little something to say al the caucuses
81 can speak for myself and / think
can speak also for a large number OF
sound and consistent Democrats when |
say we shall resent. and resent In con.
vincing manner, this bare-faced attempt
OF Messrs. Comstock, Donahue a. Co, TO
dictate not only candidate that We do
not want. but also the delegates
81 would like TO know what right these
men have 10 say that tho Granger tickets
are complete. until the Democratic eau
cuses have been held. These men have
the temerlty 10 say that opposition tc
them would be futile but ] guess that
they will find that not only In the Flrs,
but In many other wards they will hnd
that there will be the strongest kind OF
an opposition ticket The Democrats OF
the city are well able to select their own
delegates"
PLAN OF THE sCHEMER.
The Granger conspirators are making
the claim that ex-Mayor Edwin -. M,
Guinness will head the list OF Gringor
delegates from the First ward and e,-
forts are being made by them. I, Is un-
derstood. 20 induce Mayor Baker 10 head
the Granger delegation from tne Second
ward. II Is extremely doubtful. how
ever. that either Of these gentlemen.
who are respected members OF the gold
Democratic party will allow their names
to be used.
Ex-Mayor McGuinness Is, entirely out OF
politics. and has STATED many times within
the past year that he intends 70 stay
out, and neither Of the gentlemen men
