anticipated and business conditions

STRIKING miners KILLED.
WERE SHOT BY MISTAKE
We're Going "a Hunting and We're
Thought to be Non-UniOn Miners
Going to Work. President Mitchell
Denies Report that Strike Will End
Sept, 10. One Company Boasts.

WilkesbarTe, Pa, Sept. 9. - Two
italian striking miners left their homes
here to go on hunting trip. As
they approached the Harry +. colliery
they We're held up by pickets, who mis-
took them forarmed non-union men 60
ing to work. Van Costello, one of the
victims, was shot in the leg and his
brains beaten out with stones and
clubs. His companion was beaten so
badly that his life is despaired Of.
The friends of the Italians threaten
to kill the men who committed the
assault upon their countrymen. A
crowd of striking miners, mostly for
eigners, remained all night around the
lookup at Edwardsville, where Hiram
Fischer was confined. The prisoner
was held up as he was returning from
the mine where he is employed as a
coal and iron policeman. He fired into
the crowd and two of the bullets
struck Mrs. John Kasmaugh, who was
seated on the stoop short distance
away After firing the shots Fischer
was set upon by the mob and beaten
50 badly that he was left for dead on
the road. Later he was taken to the
town lookup.
President Mitchell stated that the
reports sent out from Scranton to the
effect that he told friend that the
strike would end by September ID, and
that the strikers would have to go
back to work tosave the miners union,
was pure fabrication. He says
he never made such remark to any
person. 1t is stated here that the Par

THE ship subsidy lobby is again
active in Washington, and is making
strenuous efforts to have the Hanna
Frye bill, which passed the Senate last
session, taken up and reported from the
House committee on merchant marine
and fisheries, of which Mr.. Grosvenor
is chairman. The promoters of the bill
are we'll are'of the small chance any
legislation, except the general appro-
priation bills, has'of receiving attention
this session, but they realize that if the
subsidy measure does not get through
before the expiration of the present Con-
gress, its last chance will be gone, for in
the next Congress Mr.. Cannon, who is
one of the most vigorous opponents of
the scheme on the republican side, will
be in the Speakers chair and will not
permit it to receive consideration.
Hence the extraordinary efforts they
are now making to induce Mr. Gros-
vepor to get action on the bill in com
mittee. The bill is one of the boldest
schemes ever introduced in Congress for
taking money from the public treasury
for the sole benefit of few, and is made
especially glaring since the recent CON-
bination of the ship building companies
and the steamship lines.

TT WILL be seen by an item IN the
local department of the Gazette that
Judge J. K. NJ. Norton has resigned the
iudgeship of the Corporation Court.
His resignation was sent to Governo'
Montague last night. The reasons for
his action are suggested in the item re-
ferred to. Judge Norton has presided
over the Corporation Court since the
year 1889, when he was elected as the
successor of the late Charles Il. Stuart,
who died while holding the position.
While all concede the fact that Judge
Norton has good and sufficient reasons
for relinquishing the position, most
people hereabouts will regret the
existence of conditions which he deems
sufficient for him to take this action.
lie has filled the position with dignity
and impartiality, and all who have
had business with the Corporation Court
during his incumbency have experienced
nothing to which they could have taken
exception when viewed in the light Of
law and equity. The members OF the
bar. some of whom began the practice
of their profession in his court have
ever regarded his rulings as just and are
unanimous in expressions Of regret thai
he is about to retire from the judgeship.
His many friends wish him abundan
success in the private pursuits of life
and concur in the opinion that ne vii
always have large docket to occupy hi
attention as a lawyer-good one a.
he is.

CAUTION.

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally known
and remedy that has had the largest
sale of any medicine in the world since
1868 for the cure and treatment Of Con-
sumption and Throat and Lung troubles
without losing its great popularity all
these years, you will be thankful we call
ed your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult
expectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup. The 25 cents size
has just been introduced this year.
Regular size 70 cents. For sale by Els.

BESIDES the bill introduced in the
State Senate by Mr.. Stands to stop the
collection of all State, city and county
taxes due prior to January, 1900, Mr..
Gardener has introduced a bill in the
House to bar the collection of all such
bills due prior to 1896, and to release
real estate from all tax liens prior to
January l, 1902, and offers as reason
for doing so ''to head off the land grab
bers." Now the Gland grabbers' " bill
has some Objectionable features which
can be easily remedied by the legislature,
but the desire to thwart land grabbers
is certainly no ground for relieving de-
linquent property owners at the expense
of the great majority who pay their
taxes and aid thereby in defraying the
expenses of the State and community in
which they live. Such bills as those
referred to but place premium upon
tax dodgers and encourage others to be-
come delinquents in the hope that in a
few years they may be relieved from the
payment of taxes.

The Weather.

New York, Dec. ga northeast
blizzard is playing havoc with telegraph
and telephone wires, and transportation
facilities throughout the eastern and
middle States today. Along the coast
the gale was fierce and ships sought
safety in harbors. Nowrecks have been
reported up to noon except that of a
schooner on Dogwater bar on the Mas
sachusetts coast. Along the Jersey
coast the tides were the highest today
that they have been in years. From the
coal regions of Pennsylvania comes re-
ports that the heavy snow las forced
colleries to close. In some districts OF
Pennsylvania and upper New York foot
and a half of snow had fallen up to noon.
Street car lines are paralyzed and tele-
phone wires are down. In coast cities
the storm is fierce, but the snow melted
almost as soon as it fell. In the mountain
district of Pennsylvania, the snow is
drifting badly and train blockades are
feared. The storm began late last night.

Dread a Negro Colony.

Riyerhead, L. l., Dec. 5.-Property
owners on the east end of Long Island
are worked up over the report that it is
proposed to establish a city to be
peopled wholly by colored persons from
the South on the shores of Peconie Bay,
not far from Riverhead. According to
the plan of the promoters, there is to be
established a city of not less than 10, 900
colored persons all to be brought from
the South The owners of nearby
property object to such plan and say
it would cause drop in the value ii

1t is not unlikely that counsel may come
to some satisfactory agreement on the
question and present it to the commission
for adoption in their award. The frequent
talk of settlement seems to have little
foundation in fact. Counsel Darrow has
promised some sensational testimony

DAWN OF BLooDLEss SURGERy.-Dr.
Lorenz, when presented with his degree
last week by the faculty of the North
western University in Chicago, spoke
this way of his professional work:
''Bloody surgery tried to correct the
deformed members by extirpating parts
of bones not in their proper places;
bloodless surgery restores the bones to
their proper places. If the bloodless
method unites swiftness and sureness it
may be called the superior of bloody
surgery. Plastic bloodless surgery re-
CARDS human tissues as plastic clay
which it remodels. Yet there are
many problems not yet solved by the
new surgery. The cure of lateral de-
formation of the spine, if ever possible,
will be by plastic bloodless surgery.
With the great Joseph Lister believe
the time may come when the hypodermic
syringe will be the only instrument used
by surgeons" DR.. Lorenz in the
morning made another call on Lolita
Armour, and said: 81 am confident
she will be restored to a normal physical
condition."

Weisbaden, Dec. 5.--The famous
Champagne suit which grew out of the
launching of the Kaiser's schooner
yacht Meteor in America came up in
court today and decision was reached
to hear Ambassador Won Holleben on
the disputed point. The suit was in
stituted by the Meet & Chandon Com
pany, against the Sohnlein Company.
The French company alleges that the
German company assumed false honors
when it claimed that its wine had been
used to christen the royal yacht, and
claimed that the Meet & Chandon brand
should get the credit. They claim to
have contract with those who had
charge of the launching for the use of
their wine. The German people are in
terested in the suit as it will decide
whether French or German champagne
was used. If the former, it is likely
some official heads will be Topped off.

SENATOR MAsoN's LATEST STORY


Senator "Billy" Mason, of Illinois, is
with the legislators once more. The
wise ones say that he is making fare
well appearance, but the curly haired
statesman has apparently a reserve OF
hope to draw on. At all events, he
came back with a good story, which he
fired at the first victim he could lay
hands on in the cloakroom.
Thought YOU were lost, Billy. ,"
said colleague, mildly to Mason. That
was the opening Mason most wanted,
and he replied with the following story,
which doesn't quite settle the question
as TO the next Senator from Illinois, but
is worth telling:
"You know there was a fellow on the
train that / came in on who was some
what in the position you put me down
in" said the Senator. "He put his
ticket away so carefully that when the
conductor came for it he couldn't find
it. He dug in every solitary pocket, he
took-off his coat and shook it, he grew
red in the face and proiane in the mouth,
but no ticket could he find.
"Did you buy one? Are you sure
you ever had a ticket at all? queried the
conductor impatiently. The unhappy
passenger assured the official of the pur-
chase of the ticket. you must have 1t,
then, said the conductor briefly. You
couldn't lose it, you know.
