Killed by a Train.

Struck down by death within hailing
distance of his home, where wife and
five small children anxiously awaited
his coming, was the fate that befell
Isaac Reinbold, pumpman living at
GAINESVILLE, near Mahanoy City, yester-
day morning. His body was found be-
side the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
way tracks, near crossing, and while
the popular belief is that he was struck
by a train, the exact manner is enveop-
ed in mystery. Many advance theory
of murder.
There is but one mark to indicate the
cause OF death, small wound on the
back of the head. The authorities are
making investigation,

Col. VIM. ]. Harvey, a president of
Wilkesbarres city council, who will
long be remembered for his great work
for the city, was once a mere physical
wreck, torn in every muscle and nerve
from the frightful pains caused by rheu-

clans, went abroad, took mud baths,
and almost every known treatment for
the disease. One Of the city officials
had had a very similar experience and
DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy

great kidney medicine to his friend,
and Col. Harvey is today well man,

way he states his case:

Dear Sir:-This is to certify that
was permanently cured of rheuma-
tism by the use Of DR.. David Ken

Nothing could be more direct or more
to the point than this simple statement.
Rheumatism is but another name for
uric acid poisoning which is caused pri-
marily by diseased kidneys. Cure your
kidneys and the rheumatism disappears.

The horse thieves who have been
operating for the past three weeks in
the vicinity of Tamaqua and the Quak-
AXE valley seem to have changed to this
section. Jerome Williams, of White

carriage were stolen from his stable
Friday night. He has so far been un-
able to secure any trace OF the animal
or the outfit and does not know In which

The stolen mare has white star on
her forehead and the forefeet are black
and the rear feet white.

PROTECTION ASKED FOR.

Sheriff Jacobs has been notified that
work will be resumed at the Warnke
washery in Duryea tomorrow morning,
and has been requested to have deputies
present to see that there is no interfer-
ence. 1t has been reported for the past
two days that the Woodward coliery,
located near Edwardsvile, would soon
resume operations and the officials con-
frmed the rumor by announcing that
200 men and boys would resume work
tomorrow morning.
The officials say that nearly all are
old employees, while mine workers, on
the other hand, attend meetings reg
ularly and declare their fidelity to the
union. They contend that there is not
the slightest possibility of a resumption
of work with union men.
Lest any firemen should be tempted
to go to work in the Woodward mine,
James f. Mulahy, secretary of the
Stationary Firemen's Association of
Pennsylvania, issued an address, saving
in part: ''If it is true that few have
signied their intention of going to
work, | would ask them to reconsider
their action ere they make mistake.
At this stage of the game they should
remain iirmer than ever. This is a fight
for liberty or death by the working
people at large. Others are taking an
active part by contributing towards our
support, in order that our battle may be
won; therefore | earnestly request all
former employees and others who are
with us in our battle to remain away
from this and other places until the
strike is officially declared off,"
Two new alliances have been formed

THREW STONES
AT THE TROOPS
State Militia Badly Scared
on Saturday Night.
Unknown Persons Create a
Lot of Excitement by HurI-
ing Rocks at the Soldiers.
Rumors of Resumption.

The first demonstration against the
troops at Shenandoah occurred Satur-
day night, when three separate attacks
were made on sentries Of the Eighth
infantry, by number of unknown per-
sons, at Columbia Park. Several rocks
and stones were hurled at the soldiers,
who returned volley of shots, but no
one was hurt by the stones or the
bullets.
Many Shenandoah clergymen spoke to
their congregations yesterday ON the
necessity for the preservation OF peace
and good order Rev. Ii. f. O'Reilly, of
the Church of the Annunciation, said,
in speaking of the presence of the
troops: The troops are needed here.
If they are taken away God only knows
how many lives will be sacrificed, for
firmly believe that the men who caused
the riot would wreck vengeance on
those who signed the petition to bring
against the strikers, they are here to
protect them"
The funeral of Joseph Beddall, the
victim of the riot, took place this after
noon.
THIRTEENTH WEEK BEGINS.
Today begins the thirteenth week of
the strike and so far as surface indica-
tions go there is no prospect Of settle
ment in sight. Events during the COM
ing week will prove, declared promi-
nent mine worker, that the miners are
just as staunch at the present time, the
majority more so, than they were when
this great battle commenced. The
operators may be treated to several sur
prises in the immediate future, especial
ly when they attempt TO operate the
mines. 1t is the general contention
that they will not succeed
A great many strikers were little bit
dubious when it was stated that the
Oxford colliery, in the Lackawanna
region, would be operated by former en-
ployes, but now it has been proven to
the satisfaction of the miners that none
except imports are at work. This was
discovered yesterday when the local
attached to that colliery held meeting
and it was announced that every man
and boy formerly employed at the oxford
decided, without dissenting voice, to
continue the strike until such time as
the necessary concessions are granted
President Mitchell says 1t is impossible
to say when or where tho next meeting
under his direction will be held, as the
necessary arrangements have not been
made. He will be busy for the next two
days considering the Scranton street car
trouble.

How GERMAN Justlce OF the Peace Rose
to the Occasion.

How Gernau Justice OF the Peace Rose
to the occasion.
In a small town in one OF the CEN
tral counties OF the state lives All eli
derby German, who, because of the high
esteem in which he is held in the COM
munity, has been elected justice of the
peace, says the New York Press. The
old gentleman was recently called upon
to decide a most pefflexing question.
One of his ~neighbors is the possess
scr Of a dog. The dog. although not
actually vicious, delights in running
out Of the gate and barking savagely
at passers-by. This had been the source
Of real annoyance to the neighbors,
especially to one who vowed to get
even with the pesky critter." Re-
Gently this neighbor was returning
from a shooting trip, gun in hand. he
was set upon by the dog, whereupon he
raised his weapon and fired at the
brute. His aim was not very good, and
the dog ran yelping, minus his caudal
%appendage.
The owner of the dog had his neigh
bol ndl6u DelOlS me Olu Jp9biCS oh q
charge Of cruelty to animals, and the
courtroom was crowded with the par
tisans of both men. The justice heard
the charge, and then the defense that
the dog was a dangerous animal and a
menace to the neighborhood. The old
German thereupon cleared his throat
and delivered the dictum:
Der mamie has been guilty Of
cruelty to animals" And one side OF
the courtroom a%pplauded the justice of
the decision.
But der tog-he vas a vicious tog."
And the other side voiced it's approval.
Il will fine der man fife tollars." An
other murmur in the courtroom.
But 1 will gife him anodder shot at

While Senator William A. Clark was

Court House a few days ago prepare
tory TO going on the witness stand to
testify in the suit brought against him
by George A. Treadwell, the metal
lurgist. for an accounting of his man
agement of the United Verde Copper
Mine, a young man with his hat tilted
on one side staggered up to him with
a supercillious air and said:
Say, boss, can you change a quar-
ter?"
The senator dived down into his
pockets and after a vigorous search
managed to raise up three cents. Then
he turned to the young man and said
he was sorry that he could not accom-
modate him. The youth turned on his
heel, remarking:
You're the third mar that couldn't
produce more than a dime. There is
certainly a cheap crowd drifting
around these courts"
A few minutes later Senator Clark
went on the stand and testified that his
holdings in the United Verde Copper
Mine we're worth in the neighborhood

For over fifty years the proceedings
of the senate and house of representa-

was not until 184S that the practice was
begun. but since then the complete re-
port of the proceedings has been as i'm

The work Of reporting the senate Is
given ont by contract, $4,000 a year

take the reports on the floor are paid

wHY AUTOMOBILES ARE UNPOPULAR

Sultan of Morocco.

Machine Had No Respect for Even the
Sultan of Morocco.
Consul Langerman of Tangier, who
has been on leave of absence, gives
the following explanation of why Mu-
ley Abdul Azziz, Sultan of Morocco,
prohibited automobiles in his country.
THE French government presented
a fine automobile to the Sultan, and
sent over an expert chauffeur to run
1t for him. The p~otentate was charmed
by the new means Of covering the
ground, and it looked as though horses
and state carriages would go to the
stable for good. But one day when
the Sultan was spinning along a road,
the machinery got out of order, and
the carriage escaped from the chauf-
feur's control. Then a tire exploded,
and the steering gear refused to work.
The machine raj away. The Sultan
called upon it to stop, but it refused
to obey. The chauffeur saw death
ahead whether the inevitable accident
was fatal or not. Then the machine
struck a rock, and both the Sultan
and the chauffeur were launched into
space, while the automobile turned
over with the wheels still spinning.
The Sultan was not badly hurt, but he
limped back to town and sent the
royal sledge hammer to smash the
royal auto to royal smithereens. Then
he forbade by an edict, an order, a
ukase, a law, a proclamation, and a
bull, that any of his subjects should
ever import or use an automobile"
