Petty Tyranny.

At Eokley on Monday a funeral of oneof the residents took place, and, as iscustomary, a number of the friends andneighbors attended. Tuesday morningupon going to their work over twenty ofthose men were told that before theycould resume work it would be necessaryfor them to report to the main office at

Drifton. Upon arriving there they wentto the general mining office, and aftergoing through a considerable amount ofred tape business, they obtained anaudience with the power behind thethrone, by whom they were informedthat they were guilty of deliberatelyviolating a rule of the company, in notasking permission to attend the funeral.As the laws and rules of the great firmof C. B. & Co. are regarded more sacredly(by the company) than those of God orman, all violations are immediatelyfollowed by chastisement, and theminers were not surprised to hear thesentence, "Stand suspended until nextMonday."

Several of those men had laborersworking for them, and they remained atwork loading all the cars that was to hehad? yet the miners have to remain idlea whole week because they failed to givethe regulation notice. This, however, isnothing now under Coxe Bros. & Co.,but the reason of referring to it at presentis that some action may be taken on it,not only by the Eckley employes, butalso by all the men employed through-out Coxe's domain. If such state ofalTairs is carried on much longer itwillbein order for the great philanthropist toerect a crematory beside his massiveiron breaker, and then itwillbe entirelyunnecessary to attend funerals.

The men employed by this companyshould get together and that withoutdelay, appoint a committee to wait onHon. E. B. Coxe when he arrives fromEurope next week, and lay their casebefore him. This abuse of suspendingmen could have been rectified long agohad the men taken the propersteps, andit is not yet too late to do so.

If a man is guilty of any crime or hasviolated any rule, it would be far morehonorable to discharge him at once thanto stoop to the methods used by thiscompany in humiliating him?by havinghim roam the streets for several weeksbrooding over the wrong, real or imagin-ary. inflicted on i'ii" ithat miners are dim- mi.Mited when Lb-operators parade their despotic p<>v r

A Class That NeeiU Watching.

I 11 nilgai;; is were arrested atI n i >i ou; i Saturday, for swearingla!. -\u25a0 Iy ?.re the miners' examiningboard. On being taken before SquireJohnson the offenders were held in S3OObonds for appearance at court. Thealleged perjury consisted of bringing to

the examining board filled applications,sworn to before Justice McKeon ofKingston township, declaring that theywere miners previous to the 9th of May.This was shown to be untrue, as some ofthem were not in the employ of thecompany stated at the time and none ofthem can speak a word of English. It issaid that this is the first prosecutioninstituted under the new law and theoutcome of it will be watched with in-terest by honest and capable minerseverywhere.

Murder at Weatherly.

Saturday morning the town of Weath-erly was the scene of an atrocious mur-der, the victim of which was SabillaWalbert, wife of A. A. Walbert, who isemployed in the railroad shops at thatplace. The man accused of the murderis William Stangley, a young man about26 years, who for some time has beenboarding at Walbert's residence.

Mrs. Walbert was about 35 years ofage and was the mother of several chil-dren. Saturday morning everyting wasall right, and the husband noticed noth-ing unusual. After breakfast he kissedhis wife and went to his work. Soon iafter the children left the house and the jwife and boarder were alone.

The details of the occurrence milprobably never b(; known, unless Stang-ley makes a confession of his crime, jWhen one of the children returnedshortly before noon she found a quan- 1tityof blood upon the kitchen floor. A jfurther examination brought the child jto the body of her mother lying dead !upstairs. She had been shot through :the body, and the sight that presented jitself to the little girl was an awful one. ;She ran out in the wildest alarm and at jthe same time her father came home, j

It needed but a slight investigation to jmake the fact apparent that the boarder |

i was the party who did the shooting. '! lie could not be found in the town and \| officers were put on his trail. It was

learned at Black Creek Junction that he !I had boarded a train there that morning.| Telegrams were at once sent to all the iI stations down the line and in the after- |' noon he was arrested at Slatington, I| and taken to Weatherly for a hearing, j

He was afterwards removed to Maueh jj Chunk jail to await trial,

i Three weeks ago Stanglev quarreled j? with the woman and threatened to kill;| her. She had him arrested, but the i| case was settled between them. It is ij thought that this trouble was the cause !I of the deed.

An Important DeciHion.

I AtMaueh Chunk last week a decisioni was handed down by Judge Dreher

j which may prove of inter .-i to boroughswhich lev) a tax or license upo . huck-sters farmers, The borough ofLansford passed such an ordinance* andSamuel Brode, a huckster, refused topaj the licen m . in >rder that a test could jue made ol its legality. The case wastaken t > ait and the judge handed

I down an opinion declaring said ordi- !nance invalid and void on the groundthat the borough could not discriminate ibetween the resident and non-resident jhuckster or farmer. The judge said :

"The general borough law of April 3, |1851, empowers the borough authorities ;

! by ordinance to impose a license fee or 'tax upon hawkers, peddlers, butchers |and hucksters, but a clause excepting all

i citizens of the borough from the opera- jtions of such ordinance will make the ;ordinance void because of diserimina- itiou."

The borough pays all the costs con-nected with the case, and willprobably jhave to refund all the money collected junder this ordinance. Boroughs which ihave discriminating laws had better not

, enforce them.

Hull or the Young Men's .Society.

The ball given by the Young Men's |T. A. B. Society last Thursday evening :surpassed all expectations of the man-agement and exceeded anything of this jcharacter ever held in the opera house, jAlthough arrangements had been pro- jvided for a large attendance, it was .

, found that there was a deficiency in |l some respects, particularly in that of the !handsome programmes, the supply of jwhich was exhausted early in the even-ing. At 11 o'clock 544 admission tickets jhad been sold at the door and by mid-1night there were fully 1300 people scat- |tered through the ball-room and galleries, jThe manner in which this number of |people were cared for is creditable to the jvarious committees and managers. The .grand march took place at 0.30 o'clock Iand was led by Master of Ceremonies ;Edward Doggett and Miss Ella Mc-1jLaughlin. One hundred and twenty- !three couples followed the leaders jthrough the various evolutions and intri- .cacies of the march.

During the intermission the drawing jfor a gold watch or SSO in gold took place,and was won by ticket No. 1852, held by |I)avid Hanlon, Sr., of Freelantl.

A JudKiiicnt Against u Lodge.

j A case of considerable interest to allbenevolent and secret societies was do-!cided at Beading this week. Jacob IBright died recently after having been a jmember of Montgomery Lodge of Odd |Fellows for 40 years, during which he ipaid $250 and never drew sick benefits.

| The charter of the lodge calls for SIOO !funeral benefits. Bright died withoutleaving a widow or children. He had jbeen living with a niece. The lodge 'contended that while under ordinarycircumstances SIOO funeral benefits arepaid for a deceased member, they werenot required, under the constitution andby-laws of the society, to pay any funeralbenefits in this case, as such benefits areto be paid only to the widow, children,

| or "dependent relatives" of the deceased.The lodge alleged that the niece was not

' dependent on the deceased. Bright's! funeral cost sll7, and towards this the

?; lodge contributed SO7. Suit was thenbrought to recover the balance, $33.

i ; The lodge resisted the claim on princi-ple. Judgment was entered against thelodge for $33 claimed.

Weekly Coal lleport.

The improvement in the anthracitecoal trade continues. There has been amuch better demand for coal during thepast week than in any previous weekfor months past, and many new orders

j for coal have been received by the local| operators and shippers. Some of the jindividual operators are "fullysold up" jfor this month, and all their output of

| coal during October willgo to fill ordersalready booked. Prices, too, are repor-ted generally firmer, and some parties jclaim to be now obtaining full circular

1 figures for their coal of good quality.I The newly mined coal is now beingmarketed more freely and the distri-

i but ion is being made over a greater area.There has been much complaint of the

j scarcity of cars by the individual opera- j| tors, who contend that they are not:I being treated fairly by the carrying j

j companies who are also producers of !anthracite. In response to an inquiry

! on this subject, we are informed by an| official of one of the largest anthracite! mining and transporting companies ini this city that the alleged scarcity of cars; is due to the fact that the distribution of| anthracite via all rail has been greater| this year than ever before ami that it islikely to increase, and consequently the

I cars cannot be used to the same advan-i tage as heretofore.

The Chicago correspondent of the NewYork Coal Trade Journal says: "In

! reviewing the state of the anthraciteI coal market at this centre there is} nothing startling to mention. Themove-| ment of business is steady in response to

a fairly active demand from all parts ofj the tributary territory, and, in view ofunmistakable signs, one comes to theconclusion that there is still a largoquantity of anthracite required both forthis month and for some time in thefuture. (Juite a number of orders and

| inquiries are heard of which surely| denote that the market will result in a

j healthy and absolute growth in theregular increased consumption of anthra-

i cite in the West. The Western trade is: certainly making strides this year thatwill undoubtedly be realized during the

1 winter. There are undoubtedly numer-ous places where a decline in the con-sumption of this coal has taken placecompared with past seasons; on the

j other hand it is growing rapidly infavori and use in other localities, particularly; in the large cities as well as in the many

j enterprising cities of moderate popula-tion that are scattered over the great

1 Western country."j The total amount of anthracite coalIsent to market for the week endingOctober 5, as reported by the severalcarrying companies, was 712,930 tons,compared with 852,899 tons inthe corres-ponding week last year, a decrease of139,969 tons. The total amount of an-thracite rained thus far in the year 1889was 2(5,065,581 tons, compared with 28,-121,584 tons for the same period last year,a decrease of 2,056,003 tons. ? Ledger.

Une tlie Itallot to the llest Advantage onKlection Day?Do Not Defeat

Your .Sincere Friends.

In the following article, which is takenfrom the Nanticoke Sun , the attentionof the workingmen of this county it-called to the power they hold for doinegood or evil inthe next election. Readit and reflect upon it before voting onNovember 5:

Every laboring man in Luzerne Coun-ty, no matter what his affiliations maybe, serious or politically, or whether heis connected with a labor organization ornot, will with us that Terrence V.Powderly is a fearless, outspoken cham-pion of the poor and a man whose ad-vise to his followers is always wise andcandid. And after repeated failures inmany methods of redress, after the col-lapse of numberless strikes and upris-ings of a similar character, Powderlyhas spoken upon the subject of thetoiler's grievance and his true redress.He says away with strikes, away withmobs, violence and all their mistakenphilosophies. He gives the working-man a stronger weapon. "You have aballot?a vote ?use it as a sword of fireto strike at all your wrongs. The ballotis the freeman's sword in a free land.Let him use it well and his foes shallfall before him."

The soldier who fears to lifthis swordagainst* his foe is a coward, and theworkingman who uses his ballot falselyto his own weal is a traitor to his homeami kindred and the generations thatare yet unborn to suffer hunger, povertyand distress. Workingmen should votefor their friends and against their ene-mies, no matter how the timbers ofpolitical parties may totter. We do notsay these things now to inflame men'sminds in the heat of a campaign, butonly to tell such truths as an honestjournal should speak in all seasons. Ifthe men of toil had not been so blind totheir own interests in the past their con-dition would be better to-day than theyhave ever dreamed it could be. Theyare cursed because they have voted intooffice, again and again, men who havecompassed them with villianous laws ?

laws that added to the rich man's storeand constantly took something from thepitiful pittance <>f thetrue, men of toil . Win. mong von willstand forth to gainsay the truth of onesingle word of all we say?

Very well, then And now will youvote for Charles L Pice'.' Has he beenvoui steadfast fi end? Does the Mine

. ... this (Nanticoke)district suit you? Is it, the board,recommended by organized labor?Name one poor man that he has everappointed to office.

Will you vote against George Steg-maier, who, in the last legislature, ac-cording to the testimony of Representa-tives Caffery, Williams and Davis,Senator Ilines and all his colleagues,also the chairman of the K. of L. legis-lative committee, who say that he wasan uncompromising and vigilent friendof every labor bill that came up forpassage ?

Will you vote against Joe McGinty,the trusted Knight of Labor, the Eber-vale miner? McGinty, whom you sentto your conventions and who has neveryet betrayed you? He is your own?-vote against him ifyou will.
