In Session AT Lowell.


In Session AT Lowell.
Lowell. Mass, Oct. 1S.-The annual
convention of the United Textile Work
ers of America assembled here to-day.
The representation at the convention
was almost entirely from the textile
centers in New England and the Mid
die states, the past year having been
such disadvantageous period for the
Southern industry that the unions
could not see their way clear to dis
patching delegations.
Secretary Albert HILBERT reported
that conditions in the textile trade had
made it impossible to create a senti-
ment in favor of organization with
the result that the membership had de-
creased. The number of unions in

Football Game.

The Lancaster High Sch DOL foot
ball team will play Platteville Nor
NAL at the fairgrounds Thursday
afternoon. The bone team has
been unable to secure many games
this season, owing to their playing
under the interscholastic rules, but
has kept training and practice up,
and will try and give the local en-
thusiasts good time watching the
Thursday game. The Platteville
team is stronger than ever this year
having defeated Whitewater by two
touchdowns, and has made a good
record throughout the season. The
old-time rivalry between Lancaster
and Platteville is still in existence,
and the contest will be a hard
fought one. For a number of Sc a
sons che Normal team has been un-
able to handle the home boys, and
this game will probably be the test
OF the local team for the season.
Owing to the fact that the game
was secured only yesterday, it has
not been widely advertised, but a
large crowd of lovers of this vigor-
GUS sport is expected to witness
the combat. This is your last
chance this year to see a scrap of
this kind, SO don't miss it.

KILLED BY CARS.
Andrew Pritchett, Well Known Here,
Meets Terrible Death.

At an early hour Thursday morn
ing last section men discovered the
terribly mangled remains of a
human being strewn along the
track in front of the depot at Bridge
port and they at once notified the
sheriff and coronerliat Prairie du
Chen, whol proceeded to the place
and summoned a jury to conduct an
inquest.
They found portions of man
scattered along the track from the
east end of the depot platform for
a distance of two or three rods, the
remains being so cut and mangled
as to made Identification difficult
matter, but from evidence brought
before them it was determined that
the victim was Andrew Pritchett
whose home was on Harris ridge in
the town of Wauzeka. He arrived
at Bridgeport on the passenger
about O'Clock Wednesday evening,
and was then in an intoxicated con-
dition.. He ate supper at the hotel
and after supper was about town
until closing up time, after which
he was seen on the depot platform.
From indications he had been sitting
on the edge of the depot platform,
near the east end, in drunken
stupor, and was struck by the west
bound passenger which passes that
point at about 1o'clock in the morn
ing. Deceased was about IS years
of age.
The jury after hearing the evil
dence returned a verdict that he
came to his death by being accident
ally struck by the cars.
His remains were taken in charge
by brother, who was notified of
the accident.
Pritchett was well known in Lam
caster. He has relatives here and
was employed hereabouts at various
times. He has wife, from whom
he separated several years ago, and
four children residing in Crawford
county.

Boat Rules.

The drowning season draws near. Boats
will be rocked, boys who cannot swim
stroke will go beyond their depth. and
expert swimmers Wanting their nata-
torial powers will be taken with the cramp.
During the summer hosts of Washington
people will find pleasure in small boats on
the river They will fill their lungs with
good air and strengthen their arms with
good exercise. The majestic Potomac is a
great asset of the nations capital. Boat
ing should be encouraged. But don't rock
the boat, don't overload the boat. don't
change seats when In the stream. don't be
silly. don't row alone unless you know
how to pull an oar. and don't go rowing
with anybody who does not know how to
row Don't let your son or daughter go
rowing with anybody not capable hand
at the oars.
1t Is a safe assumption that a man who
cannot row would not know how to con-
duct himself in an emergency. He would
rot know which blade to pull and which to
back to steer the boat to right or left,
would not know how to back water
promptly. and would not know how TO
take the swell of passing launch, tug or
steamer.
Rowing Is fine sport for the man at the
oars and for those he takes with him. 1t
Is not a difficult exercise to learn. but no
one should attempt to handle a boat who
has not learned 1t. People who cannot
swim should keep away from deep water.
Learn to swim at the bathing beach where
there are life guards
On summer Sundays the river is full of
boatmen who do not know an oarlock from
a rudder. or the bow from the stern just
as on Sunday afternoons the roads are full
OF drivers who do not know a headstall
from crupper. The harbor police should
be viglant in looking out for overloaded
and incompetently handled boats. 1t is a
vigilance that will save life

Tammany to Be Regular.

Leader Murphy announces that Tammany
Hall will support the nominee of the ST.
Louis convention no matter who he may
be. Why. certainly. There has never been
the slightest doubt of that. It was a feel
ing of absolute security on that score that
led Mr.. Hill to put the screws on at AL
bany. and that has induced him to keep
them on. Tammany under Murphy cannot
afford to bolt. 1t must be regular, or pay
the penalty. This does not mean of course
that Mr.. Murphy will modify his objection
to the Parker program. That is dictated to
him. He will keep that up, and at St. Louis
do much as a man can with his hands
tied to make 1t effective. He will partici-
pate in all the anti-Parker councils while
Mr. Hill in the convention is voting him
for Parker. And then If Judge Parker is
nominated Mr.. Murphy will return home
and support him. With how much enthu-
siasm negotiations about spoils must deter

The PENNSYLVANIA Senatorship.

Interest in the senatorship made vacant
by the death of Mr.. Quay relates less 10
whether or not the governor OF Pennsyi-
vania may make an appointment covering
the unexpired term than to the sort of man
likely to he chosen by the Legislature when
the time comes for filling the new term AS
that question is decided may we expect
light on the question of whether new or
der In the state has opened. or whether
Mr. Quay is still ruling his party from
his grave.
1t Is quite superf1uous to point out the
Importance of Pennsylvania in the sister,
hood of the states. She ranks among the
first Her interests are varied ana val
liable She has always led In certain lines
of Industry. she still leads In them, ana
he would be a bold man who should at
tempt to fix a time limit to her supremacy
there 1t seems certain to continue mat
such a state should be represented In the
national legislature by men OF high gifts
and thorough training needs no argument.
That In her history she has commissioned
MANY such to serve here there admits Oh
no dispute The record shows IT,
Why. then should not the successor VI
Mr.. Quay in the Senate-speaking with rei-
erence to the new term-be not only man
of national reputation ana influence
with qualifications of pertinence TO the
post? why should he not be speaker ol
power, a lawyer of eminence and man VI
all-round force? The arena calls Tor such
an equipment. and promises in return Ior
its exercise rich results to the state PENN
sylyania does not lack for such men, ana IL
one of them Is chosen it will be fortunate
thing for her.
Mr. Quay was a man of undoupted TAI
ents and a master maneuverer, but IL was
difficult to approve of his selection Tor the
Senate. He did not fit the office, or the
office did not fit him. He was servlceaole
to his people when tariff matters were up
but another in his place would have done
as we'll He was not an authority on the
tariff. and simply championed schedules
which had been prepared by others Be
yond this he did little as senator, and there
were long periods when he was unheard OF
in that body.
Speaking generally. then, 1t may be said
that the less the new man resembles Mr.
Quay the better assurance the country VIII
have that a new and very necessary day
has dawned In the keystone state.

The Kentucky Democrats.

rms is busy week with the Kentucky
democrats. Next Saturday is the day for
hoidlng their county conventions to choose
delegates to the state convention, and next
tuesday Is the day for holding the state
convention to choose delegates to St Louis.
Everybody Is at work, and there Is the
promise of the liveliest meeting since Will
liam Goebel. five years ago, with less than
one-third Of the delegates instructed for
him. held up state convention and forced
his own nomination for governor
Mr. Bryan. once so popular in the state
has lost his hold there The Kentucky
democrats want to win, and, like many of
their brethren elsewhere, are sweeping
the horizon with strong glass for can
didate. For time they thought they had
found him In Mr.. German. Senators Black
burn and Acknowledgment themselves
in his favor, and Mr.. Watterson spoke we'll
of him. But then came along the Parker
boom, and following that the Hearst BOOM
and everything now seems to be in the air
The prediction is made that the delegates
will not be instructed. but will go to ST.
Louis crying for harmony, and sounding
sentiment as to the leader most likely to
promote that highly desirable article. II
German. so be it. If Parker, so be 1t. And
so on.
But the most spirited feature of the con-
test. If reports are accurate. relates to the
control of the state machine. 1t now obeys
the hand of Gov. Beckham who Is charged
among various things with a purpose to use
it, first for the retirement of Mr.. Blackburn
from the Senate in favor of one of the gov
ernor's friends, and then for the retirement
of Mr.. McCreary in favor of the governor
himself The effect OF this has been to
bring the two senators into combination
against the governor for control of the new
state committee and it's chairman. There
Is a Beckham slate and a Blackburn Nc
Creary slate. and the voice of the orator,
now on this side and now on that, crying
down machine rule and crying up the inter-
ests of the people. Is heard in the land.
The old order has changed. and the new
presents some puzzling features. Carlisle
and Lindsay are in New York, exiles, and
without a particle of influence where they
were once all but supreme. Brown Is dead
Breckenridge is out of politics, and edits
a newspaper and practices law at Licking
ton. Watterson holds the fort at Louis
vile, but has been out of sympathy with
his party so long that he has ceased to
be leader, even in a local way. He is the
only one of the old guard left who would
give to the delegation to ST. Louis truly
national Importance, and he does not care
