were heard all over the country when
the famous Charleston convention Ct
1860 met in that hotbed of treason in
South Carolina. Col. Brown was a
delegate from Vermont aud Gen. Benz.
f. Butler, delegate from Mass. Col.
Brown occupied d prominent position
in the deliberations of the convention
and stood by Stephen A. Douglas
porter Of Jefferson Davis, who was SO
soon to lead the hosts of secession.
The Charleston convention failed to
agree upon democratic candidate for
president after being in session ten
days. The convention adjourned to
meet in Baltimore where Douglas was
finally nominated. Col. Brown worked
earnestly with Douglas and his friends
to avert the bloody war that followed.
Being one OF the best trained officers
in the state, his services were needed
in organizing the troops for active SER
vice. After number of regiments
had been placed in condition for war,
he was called into active service and
his regiment formed part of General
capture of New Orleans and the open
ing of the Mississippi; and the capture
of New Orleans was one of the greatest
military and naval'victories of the war.
Every newspaper in New Orleans was
bitterly hostile to Butler and the gov
ernmemt. Gen. Butler had no time to
waste on reasonable newspapers or
people, He ordered Col. Brown to
seize the New Orleans Daily Delta and
detaile printers from the army. The
next day the Delta appeared as a union
paper and the misguided people o
that city were soon informed of the
true condition of affairs and the ain
and purpose OF the secession leaders.

Hog Cholera is a germ disease of the
intestines. The cholera bacteria finds
it's way into the animal through the
drinking water or filth, passing into
the stomach and finally down along the
intestines it sets UP fermentation and
from there filters through the blood,
liver and other organs.
Hog Cholera cannot be treated sue
cessfully unless treatment is COM
menced before the germ has reached
the period of rapid multiplication. If
taken in time it can be cured and in all
cases prevented by the use of Liquid
Koal because it is the only known GER
micide that will pass through the
stomach into the intestines and from
there into the blood, permeating the
whole system and still retain its germ
killing properties. All other so.called
cholera cures lose their potency by the
acid reaction of the gastric juices of
the stomach, hence have no value.
LIQUID ISoal is also the best remedy
for chicken cholera.

MORE TROUBLE BREWING.
Divided on Nine Hour Question. Cannot De
termne on Commissions Award.

The award of the strike commission
has not entirely settled the differences
existing between the coal operators
and the miners. Trouble has already
been experienced as a result of the
operators and miners not agreeing in
their Interpretation of the Strike Com
missions award.
The commission adjudged that the
men should be paid "on the basis of
nine hour day" without reduction of
wages, and with pro rata increase
for overtime. This the operators say
does not decree nine hour day, but
simply that they are to get the old ten
hours wages for nine hours wofk and
overtime for each hour worked more
than nine.
AT some colierles, where the com.
panies proceeded to work ten hours
as before, the men refused to work
more than nine hours and the col
llerles had TO shut down. The men
themselves are divided as to the right
Interpretation. AT the Green Ridge
Coal Company colliery the adults
wanted to continue working ten hours,
as that was the only way they would
be getting an increase in wages, but
the boys declared that a nine hour
day had been awarded and they did
not propose to work more than nine
hours, and they didn't.
AT Providence, Carbondale, Oily
phant, Plymouth and Wilkes. Barre,
collieries of the Delaware & Hudson
company the men quit work Friday at
the end of nine hours work. All the
other colleries of the company worked
ten hours.
The Enterprise Coal company, OF
Scranton, received word Friday that
its drivers at the Shamokin coliery
had struck because the company re
fused to start up at 6:3o o'clock in
stead of o'clock. Hon. w. l.. Con
nell, Recorder of Scranton, who is
president of the company, said he ex
pected the miners to compel the
drivers to return to work, as then
action in striking is in direct violation
OF the Cancellation board features o
the commissioners award.
In all the coal region towns the
probability of another struggle is the
general topic of discussion and the
business men are actually fearful O
the future.

ment of the causes that led to the re-
cent trouble. All hands turned out
Wednesday morning but before the
miners descended they were informed
by the foreman that he was required
10 obtain from them statement as to
whether they would abide by the re-
cent decision of the Strike Commiss-
ion. A meeting was hastily held and
the men UNANIMOUSLY decided that
they accepted the decision and the
inside foreman left to report the ac-
ton. In the meantime the commit
tee appointed Friday night had taken
no action and the breaker boys start
ed for home. The miners, of course,
were obliged to return home also but
before all of them had left an order
was made public that the colliery was
to be shut down indefinitely. No one
is working but the foreman, pumpmen,
engineers and iremen. About eight
hundred hands are out of work. A
similar order was issued Wednesday
morl ing closing down the Bear Val
ley mine at Shamokin.

NO MORE CIGARETTES TO MINORS.

There is now a law against sell.
ing igarettes to minors, and viola
ton of it, makes the offender liable
to fine Of $500. The sale of cigar
cites to boys has long been an evil,
which has been bitterly opposed,
and year after year anti-cigarette
bills of this nature have been in
troduced in the Legislature, but
they have been generally recog-
nized as "pinchers, " designed for
biackmail purposes on the tobacco
dealers. Their provisions were
good, but they were not intended
for passage.
The bill to which the Governor on
Monday affixed his signature, was
introduced by Senator Zern, Demo-
crat, OF Carbon County. It's pro-
gress was by no means entirely
unopposed. When il reached the
third reading in the Senate, there
were indications OF a hitch, but after

Senator Focht, in favor Of its pass.

guilty Of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof shall be sent
enced to pay a fine of not more
than $500 nor less than SIoo.
