on the anthracite strike, and said
he believed there was no question
in the world paramount to that of
good relationship between capital
and labor.
Mr.. Hanna closed his remarks by
saying it was the purpose of the

MORE ABUSE

SCRANTON, Dec. S.-When the
strike hearing commenced this
morning before the anthracite com
mission Judge Gray said that the
operators had been given ample
time TO make their statements OF
wages and, therefore. he desired
that they be presented Immediately.
He said that IL the statements were
incomplete the commission would
ask for further data.
Miner Gallagher, formerly en-
ployed by the Markle company, was
recalled to the stand.
To the surprise of everyone not
one of the Markles' counsel were
present. Justice Gray held that if
Markle knew that testimony was
to be given against him ii was his
duty to present, He ordered the
/ testimony to proceed.
The most important point brought
out by Gallagher was that the coal
cars had been made considerably
larger, but that the miners got nc
extra pay in consideration of their
increased size.

New Story of GettySburg's Fatal
Charge Told BY Pickett.

New Story of Gettyxburg's Fatal
Charge Told BY Pickett.
A writer in the New Orleans Plea
yune says: General Wilson, Of the old
army, during a conversation with some
friends in New York recently, related a
conversation with General Pickett upon
the subject of Gettysburg: !:
pickett, Longstreet and myself were
old West Pointers and warm friends"
said General Wilson.
"At the close Of our late unpleasant
ness I was sitting in my office In state
street when who should enter but my
old friend, General Pickett. We had
not met before since the commence
ment of the war and had many things
to talk about.
I'm the course of conversation l re-
marked: You had pretty close call al
Gettysburg, didn't you Pickett?'
"'Yes, he said, but let me tell you
something about my charge that has
never been published. When orders
were given to form the column OF at
tack I formed the column and then rode
through the ranks to see II everything
was right. AS finished this inspection
I rode to the rear to report to General
Lonestreet and to receive orders TO
move. 1 found Longstreet sitting on
the top rail of fence whiting STICK.
Saluting the general, I said: General,
my column is ready to charge. Shall !
charge? Receiving no answer from
the general, and waiting a reasonable
time, returned to my command and
again rode through the ranks.
A second time reported to the gen
eral, with the same result. A third time
7 reported. The general was still Sit
ting on the fence. AS received no an
swer. I remarked: General, If am to
make the charge it must be made now,
or 1t will be too late. Shall make the
charge? Without saying a word he
simply bowed his head. Immediately
rode off and made the charge and you
know the result.
when I asked" said General Will
son, "how he accounted for Long
streets course, he said he believed that
Longstreet was opposed to the move
ment, and delayed giving him ORDERS
hoping that General Lee would change
his mind and countermand his orders.
Who can tell what would have been
the result if Longstreet had given Pick
ett orders to charge when he first re-
ported to him? His failure to obey
General Lees orders gave the Federals
ample time to consolidate their forces
and allowing Pickett to charge after
the Federal troops had been massed
cannot but be regarded as a criminal
indifference to results and to the lives
of his men.

WONDERFUL OLD MEN.-Men of

octogenarians. Kant. Button, Goethe,
Fontenelle and Newton were over So
Michelangelo and Titan ware SO and SO
respectively. Harvey the discoverer of
the circulation of the blood, lived to
be so. Many men have done excellent
work after they have passed so. Lam

a ready pen at 80. Hahnemann married
at so and was working at 81. Michel
angelo was still painting his giant can

with the vigor Of his early years. Fon-

as he did in middle-life. Cornaro was
in far better health at 95 than at 80,
