All Quiet in Wyoming Valley.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, May 20.-The Wy
oming valley is SO quiet this morning that
excepting for the idle colleries, trip
through the region would fail to give the
impression that a great struggle is in prog
ress between capital and labor. A steady
rain is falling which adds greatly to the
dismal aspect of things. Strike headquar-
ters are now well established here. Presi-
dent Mitchell was up early and by 8 o'clock
he was busy in his office going over his
correspondence which, he says, promises to
keep him steadily employed all day. He
had news to give out He said that
nothing had turned up to in any way
change the present situation.

On either side of the entrance marble STAR
ways ascend to the audience room, which
opens through balconied windows upon the
plaza. In this chamber the actual transfer
occurred. 1t is an imposing room, oblong,
with lofty ceiling and marble noor. IL
formed a fine setting for the historic oc-
caSion.
The chamber is today exactly as it was
when the Spanards departed, except that
the portraits of the captains general which
hung upon its walls are gone. They were
taken back to Spain, but coats of arms OF
Spain, with their royal Quarterings, still
hang above the windows, which are screen
ed by the same scarlet curtains that were
hanging during the Spanish regime. The
decorations, white and gold with the superb
mirrors, have also been preserved, just as
they were left by the SpaniardS. The chair,
with a gold crown above its back, which
was reserved for the Spanish monarch him
self, was visible in an adjoining apartment.
Limited Space for Spectators.
Owing to the limited space, the people
were to have no sight of the ceremony to
be enacted here, which was to constitute
them nation before the world, but out
side they were to witness spectacle which
would stir their pulses, for they were to
see the beloved tive-barred and single
starred flag which Cespedes first threw to
the breeze in 1868, at the opening OF the
ten years war. raised by the act of the
United States above the palace. This thing
which was to happen had been the dream
of their lives and of their ancestors for
generations. Their parents, brothers and
friends had gone to their deaths to accom-
plish it. No strange wonder, then, that
hours before the time set they began flock

Many were already before the palace with

the police very early. The remainder was
packed with people, thick that the
ground seemed alive.
Soon all the side streets running into the
plaza were choked into a solid mass Of
humanity. and every door and window
fronting the square was walled in with
faces, white and black, old and young,

Miss Elizabeth Cooper daughter OF
DR.. William H. Cooper met with a
very painful accident on Friday even
ing of last week. She was walking on
fiat roof in the centre of which there
was a sky light. She put her foot on
the sash not intending to bear much
weight upon it, but unfortunately the
sash gave way and Miss Cooper, losing
her balance, fell through to the floor
below, a distance of ten feet. 1t was
terrible shock and it was greatly
feared for a while she was seriously
hurt, but we are glad to learn that she
is improving and her many friends
hope to see her out again soon.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the early morning last Sunday, our

very much the excellent addresses, as

Doings and Personal Mention.

Special Correspondence to the Times.
KENToN, Oct. 13:-The weather
keeps wet for seeding and the farmers
are becoming anxious about getting
the wheat in the ground.
Mr.. E. o. Bayle has finished canning
tomatoes for this season. He has
operated two factories, one at Hartley
and the other at Kenton. At the
former one he put up 1400 cases and
at the latter 1900. These cases hold
"a cans each, making 5000 cases and a
total Of seventy-two thousand cans.
His help this year was German and it
is the opinion of every body that they
were the most quiet and best be-
haved set Of people that ever came to
Kenton to work in the cannery.
Mr.. William H. Greenwell met
with an experience on last Saturday
evening which we do not suppose he
is anxious to repeat soon. He had

The use of soft coal so generally this
winter will greatlyincrease the chance
of fire. Citizens should remember this
and govern themselves accordingly.
The defective fue, which frequently
isnothing more or less than anuncleaned
chimney, will be'more in evidence than
usual, for soft coal gives off a great
deal more SCOT than anthracite, and the
chimneys require much more frequent
cleaning. Indeed, a cleaning every
two weeks is by no means too often if
one desires to reduce the chances of
fire to a minimum.

ST.. Paul, Dec. 20. - Charles D. Gil.

dents, died yesterday morning at his
home in Harrington Place.. Mr.. Gill
lillian has been i'll for several months,
and for few days past has been quite
Ill. although death was not supposed
to be so near. Mr.. Gilfillan was an en-
thusiastic believer in the future of st.
Paul from the time of his coming, and
acquired property interests which
made him wealthy. He built the Gil
Allan block at Fourth and Jackson
streets when it was not only the finest
Office building in the Northwest, but
the one with the largest income. He
was one of the organizers of the water
company, which founded the original
city water plant, subsequently sold to
the city, and he has for many years
been a director in the First National
bank. He owned large farm in Red
wood county and spent great deal of
his time there until failing health for
babe. Mr.. Gilfllan was seventy years
of age, and for some time had felt that
his span of life was nearly done, and
had begun to get his affairs in order
for his departure.
