New York, Sept. 13.—District Attorney Martine, in an interview yesterday, thu» expressed himself concerning his candidacy for the additional judgeship of the court of general sessions: "If I am tendered the nomination by the oounty Democracy I shall accept it. While I do not claim anysuporior fitness for tho oQlco over others conversant with tho administration of Randolph B. martine. criminal jurisprudence, still, I believe that the training a man revives in tho three years course a district attorney goes through fits him in some degree for a criminal justiceship." Mr. Martina is evidently pretty confident of receiving the nomination, since he talks freely of tho claims which Mr. Delancey Nicoll has upon the office of district attorney, as his successor, and his fitness for the position.

Washington, Sept. 13.—In regard to the purchase of bonds by the government, the president said yesterday to the representative of the United Press: Hazuctoh, Pa., Bept 18.—The colliery whistles sounded bravely yesterday morning, and through the thickness of the equinoctial weather the huge outlets of the coal mines stoamod a welcome to all workmen good and true to come and earn wealth at from seventy cento to $1.26 per day. But the cheery invitations were not accepted. The men came not. They returned the same reply to the bassos that the bosses had made to their representatives, the joint committee of the Knights of Labor, the Amalgamated miners and tlio Eccentric engineers. That reply was contemptuous ailenco. Bucklen's Arnica Balve- London, Sept 13.—"It's an ill wind thai blowi nobody good," Is a saying forever true. If one can coll a sad and tragic murder fortunate, then tbe, murder of Constabl* Wbeelan by the moonlighters Sunday nigh; in a hoiM near Bnnis, is a most fortunate occurrence for the government. Coming as It does, directly in the wake of the Mitchellstown affair, when the ministry are at their wit*1 end to give some reasonable explanation of the unfortunate affray; while they are tbe subject of loud denunciation) and low muttered reviling! on all ride*, it is eagerly seised upon by them a* a legitimate excuae and complete vindication for the killing of the old man Lonergan. In fact, it ia a godsend to the government It prove* what they have long been anxious to establish, and have sought by every means, fair and foul, to make Bugland believe, namely, that there is crime in Ireland. InddM there is crime in Ireland, and the difference between the crime of the police in shooting Lonergan down in cold blood and tbe crime of the moonlighters in killing Wbeelan is that the former was murder by authority, while the latter are red handed assassins and brand all Ireland with tbe name. The killing of the head coostable was a tragic affair, indeed. Wheelan, at the bead of a posse of twelve police, was confronted by eight moonlighters, and immediately a bloody battle ensu**. Ho firearms were used at all They were at too cloo* range for that, but a hand to hand encounter was bravely fought. Wbeelan was killed at tbe outset by a powerful blow on the head from a bludgeon. His fall was the signal for a determined onslaught by Bis companions who, after a fearful struggle, during which several broken heads were received on both side*, succeeded in overpowering the moonlighters, five of whom they captured. Wheelan had bean twenty-four years in the police service, and had been stationed at Hrniia Ha leaves a wife and five children. In the house at commons last night the Tories made the most of Wheelan's murder, and were delighted at the loophole it afforded them to exculpate themselves from the blame that attaches to them on acoount of the Mitchellstown tragedy.

"The criticism upon the action of tho treasury department for tho refusal to acc-pt any af tho offers of bonds lagt Wednesday, it acorns to me, is inconsiderately nindc. In the first place the offers were higher, considering the lapse of time they had to run, than they had theretofore been and did not present as favorable terms to the government. In the next placo, the number offered was much le«p than on former occasions. These facts may well give rise to the inference that people holding bonds preferred them to money. New York, Sept 18.—A project is on foot to establish a new association of amateur athletes in place of the present national association, there being a great deal of dissatisfaction with the letter's management, which resulted in the withdrawal of the New York Athletic dab some time time ago, and the more recent secession of the Brooklyn qluh. The trouble has arisen chiefly from Jealousy between the New York a oil Manhattan clubs and the charges of professionalism against Malcolm W. Ford which, it is claimed, were preferred by the Brooklyn club because Ford has deserted it and gone back to the New York Athletio club with which he was formerly connected. Now similar charges have been made against B. a Carter, the best one and three mile runner of the New York dab, said to be prompted by like motives. The new movement is the formation of an association to include the best clubs of San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, St Louis and as many of the local clubs as can be induced to join it. "I have lived in Plainfleld about flva yw»rs," said Murphy. "I saw Jackson fire the Lee houso. He and I went to tbe back of tbe house at about 13:30 o'clock. As we wer* going around the house Jackson said: 'Are you armedf and I replied: 'I am.' Whon we reached tbe back stoop Jackson opened the door and went in, taking a bottle filled with keroseno from his pocket as he did so. Soon after he struok a match and fired the house in the kitchen. We then went about 100 feet or so up the road, but went back 'to give the fire some draught,' as Jackson said. ''While we were doing this Officer Lynch was hiding behind a tree. Councilman Carey was in the back of the yard, and John Moore was in an out house. When Jackson attempted to go into the house Lynch arrested him." Saved His life. Mr. D. L. WilcoxsoD, of Horse Cave, Ky. says he was, for many years, badly afflicted with Phthisic, also Diabetes; the pains went almost unendurable and would sometimes almost throw him into convulsions, He tried Electric Bitters and got relief from flrat bottle and after taking six bottles, was entirely cured, and had gained in flesh eighteen pounds. Says he positively believes ho would have died, had it not been for the relief afforded by Electric Bitters. Soidat fifty cents a bottle by A. B. Woodward. It is stated on good authority that 85,000 miners are out Ills Includes 15,000 men In the Lehigh region, 5,000 in the Shamokin valley, and 15,000 in Northumberland and adjacent counties. These frowning bills arc crowded with idle men. Every corner in the larger places has its corporal's guard. The only lonesome places are the breakers and mines. "The government want* to buy bonds to answer tho requirements of the law relating to the sinking fund, and it is willing to advance interest on such bonds as are not bought, and thus supply any immediate demand thrre may be for money. These two movements of tbe treasury department aro calculated to release a good deal of money and turn it into business channels if required. But they are both executive acts, and must be performed witli a due regard for the interests of the government as one of tbe parties to tbe transactions. There is no disposition to drive a sharp bargain with the holders of tbe bonds, but it will not do to say that there is no side to the bargain except that of the seller and holder, and that these bonds must be bought and the interest advanced on such terms as their interest alono dictates. The competltton offoroi in the sale of bonds is a just way to fix their price, and will be fairly pursued as long as it seems to protect against an undue advantago on the part of sellers, and results in offers which, upon business considerations, ought to regulate their value as between privato parties. REUNION OF VETERANS Twenty-five Years from the Day They Marched to tht Front. At most of the breakers there was a bit of work yesterday—e couple of hours of it It was "cleaning up." Loaded cars were run up, dumped, crushed and sorted, mostly with the assistance of imported labor, which is looked upon as the possible cause of trouble in the strike. Many of the early risers here and elsewhere saw the visible signs of labor at the breakers and rejoioed in the hope that the strike had fallen through. But their joy was short lived. Of course the commercial interests here are all agog on the subject A striko means a paralysis of business, for ninetenths of the trade comes from the mines. Jamestown, N. Y., Sept 18.—The reunion of the One Hundred and Twelfth and One Hundred and Fifty-fourth regiments and Seventh Sharpshooters began yesterday. The LiuAness streets were lavishly decorated with bunting and flags. At 1 p. m. the procession formod and marched to Marvin park. About 400 men were in line. At the park a large audience was present The exercises opened with a brief address by Capt E. A. limtis, and prayer by Rev. N. L Rubiukam. Mayor Price made a brief speoch of welcome, and A. M. Lowry, of Jamestown, responded in behalf of the old soldiers. The Rev. W. L. Uydo delivered an addross, giving a history of the One Hundred and Twelfth regiment A. C. Pichard, of the Seventh Independent Company of Sharpshooters, and Maj. Cameron, of the One Hundred and Fifty-fourth regiment, lid the somo for their organizations. The exercises were interspersed with music by the bond. The soldiers are being entertained by the at thoir homes.

J., Sept. 13.—Samuel Denmead, the hermit, whose wife and brother Robert were found dead in the hut on Commercial avenue on March 10, and who, with his brother John, was suspected of having killed them, died yesterday. It is supposed that Denmead was born about 1815. Ho was a good sixud boy when his father moved hero in 18S17. His mother committed suicide in 1896, and his father died of cholera in 1817. Immediately after the father's death the three brothers, Samuel, John and Robert, moved to the hut in Commercial avenue, where they lived nearly thirty years. Samuel expressed a wish a short time before ho died to be buried in the Methodist burying ground. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral. His troubles drove him insano, and be starved himself to death. There are much lower wages than these paid in some of the breakers, but this will show what some of Haaleton's citizens are compelled to live on.

ML—After a shut down of six weeks the American linen mills started up yesterday, all of the striking spinners resuming their places. The settlement of the differences between the spinners and management was brought about by Senator Howard, who drew up the statement, under terms of which the men resumed work. By the provisions of this paper the spinners promised that in future they would not go on strike without first trying to havo their grievances settled by arbitration. Tha resumption of work in the mill gives employment to 800 operatives. Broome County Republicans, "These men can stand out two weeks to the one weok of Buglish speaking miners. If we stand alone for three months they are good for six. They can live on almost nothing. As for their spirit, they are full of it; and if it oomes to fighting you will find them In the front ranks. I (ell you It will not be healthy for the operators to try and import labor for settling up this question. The miners have been two years trying to get the operators to listen to their demands for better wages. It is idle for the Utter to say that outsiders have made these demands, for every msmbsr of tho demand committee is a working 'miner. We havo always been treated with silent eontempt Now the men are in a desperate frame of mind. They wont brook fooling. If the mine owners attempt their old game of Intimidation they will find that it don't work. The 'Home guard,' that outrageous body of men who precipitated violence and murdered unoounted men In the last great strike, will meet with trouble if they try those tactics again. The Knights of Labor are for peace and peaceful measures, but their principles will not hold back the men now if violent measures are attempted with them. Mark my words, the men mean business now."

New York, Sept. 13.—District Attorney Martine, in an interview yesterday, thu» expressed himself concerning his candidacy for the additional judgeship of the court of general sessions: "If I am tendered the nomination by the oounty Democracy I shall accept it. While I do not claim anysuporior fitness for tho oQlco over others conversant with tho administration of Randolph B. martine. criminal jurisprudence, still, I believe that the training a man revives in tho three years course a district attorney goes through fits him in some degree for a criminal justiceship." Mr. Martina is evidently pretty confident of receiving the nomination, since he talks freely of tho claims which Mr. Delancey Nicoll has upon the office of district attorney, as his successor, and his fitness for the position.

Washington, Sept. 13.—In regard to the purchase of bonds by the government, the president said yesterday to the representative of the United Press: Hazuctoh, Pa., Bept 18.—The colliery whistles sounded bravely yesterday morning, and through the thickness of the equinoctial weather the huge outlets of the coal mines stoamod a welcome to all workmen good and true to come and earn wealth at from seventy cento to $1.26 per day. But the cheery invitations were not accepted. The men came not. They returned the same reply to the bassos that the bosses had made to their representatives, the joint committee of the Knights of Labor, the Amalgamated miners and tlio Eccentric engineers. That reply was contemptuous ailenco. Bucklen's Arnica Balve- London, Sept 13.—"It's an ill wind thai blowi nobody good," Is a saying forever true. If one can coll a sad and tragic murder fortunate, then tbe, murder of Constabl* Wbeelan by the moonlighters Sunday nigh; in a hoiM near Bnnis, is a most fortunate occurrence for the government. Coming as It does, directly in the wake of the Mitchellstown affair, when the ministry are at their wit*1 end to give some reasonable explanation of the unfortunate affray; while they are tbe subject of loud denunciation) and low muttered reviling! on all ride*, it is eagerly seised upon by them a* a legitimate excuae and complete vindication for the killing of the old man Lonergan. In fact, it ia a godsend to the government It prove* what they have long been anxious to establish, and have sought by every means, fair and foul, to make Bugland believe, namely, that there is crime in Ireland. InddM there is crime in Ireland, and the difference between the crime of the police in shooting Lonergan down in cold blood and tbe crime of the moonlighters in killing Wbeelan is that the former was murder by authority, while the latter are red handed assassins and brand all Ireland with tbe name. The killing of the head coostable was a tragic affair, indeed. Wheelan, at the bead of a posse of twelve police, was confronted by eight moonlighters, and immediately a bloody battle ensu**. Ho firearms were used at all They were at too cloo* range for that, but a hand to hand encounter was bravely fought. Wbeelan was killed at tbe outset by a powerful blow on the head from a bludgeon. His fall was the signal for a determined onslaught by Bis companions who, after a fearful struggle, during which several broken heads were received on both side*, succeeded in overpowering the moonlighters, five of whom they captured. Wheelan had bean twenty-four years in the police service, and had been stationed at Hrniia Ha leaves a wife and five children. In the house at commons last night the Tories made the most of Wheelan's murder, and were delighted at the loophole it afforded them to exculpate themselves from the blame that attaches to them on acoount of the Mitchellstown tragedy.

"The criticism upon the action of tho treasury department for tho refusal to acc-pt any af tho offers of bonds lagt Wednesday, it acorns to me, is inconsiderately nindc. In the first place the offers were higher, considering the lapse of time they had to run, than they had theretofore been and did not present as favorable terms to the government. In the next placo, the number offered was much le«p than on former occasions. These facts may well give rise to the inference that people holding bonds preferred them to money. New York, Sept 18.—A project is on foot to establish a new association of amateur athletes in place of the present national association, there being a great deal of dissatisfaction with the letter's management, which resulted in the withdrawal of the New York Athletic dab some time time ago, and the more recent secession of the Brooklyn qluh. The trouble has arisen chiefly from Jealousy between the New York a oil Manhattan clubs and the charges of professionalism against Malcolm W. Ford which, it is claimed, were preferred by the Brooklyn club because Ford has deserted it and gone back to the New York Athletio club with which he was formerly connected. Now similar charges have been made against B. a Carter, the best one and three mile runner of the New York dab, said to be prompted by like motives. The new movement is the formation of an association to include the best clubs of San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, St Louis and as many of the local clubs as can be induced to join it. "I have lived in Plainfleld about flva yw»rs," said Murphy. "I saw Jackson fire the Lee houso. He and I went to tbe back of tbe house at about 13:30 o'clock. As we wer* going around the house Jackson said: 'Are you armedf and I replied: 'I am.' Whon we reached tbe back stoop Jackson opened the door and went in, taking a bottle filled with keroseno from his pocket as he did so. Soon after he struok a match and fired the house in the kitchen. We then went about 100 feet or so up the road, but went back 'to give the fire some draught,' as Jackson said. ''While we were doing this Officer Lynch was hiding behind a tree. Councilman Carey was in the back of the yard, and John Moore was in an out house. When Jackson attempted to go into the house Lynch arrested him." Saved His life. Mr. D. L. WilcoxsoD, of Horse Cave, Ky. says he was, for many years, badly afflicted with Phthisic, also Diabetes; the pains went almost unendurable and would sometimes almost throw him into convulsions, He tried Electric Bitters and got relief from flrat bottle and after taking six bottles, was entirely cured, and had gained in flesh eighteen pounds. Says he positively believes ho would have died, had it not been for the relief afforded by Electric Bitters. Soidat fifty cents a bottle by A. B. Woodward. It is stated on good authority that 85,000 miners are out Ills Includes 15,000 men In the Lehigh region, 5,000 in the Shamokin valley, and 15,000 in Northumberland and adjacent counties. These frowning bills arc crowded with idle men. Every corner in the larger places has its corporal's guard. The only lonesome places are the breakers and mines. "The government want* to buy bonds to answer tho requirements of the law relating to the sinking fund, and it is willing to advance interest on such bonds as are not bought, and thus supply any immediate demand thrre may be for money. These two movements of tbe treasury department aro calculated to release a good deal of money and turn it into business channels if required. But they are both executive acts, and must be performed witli a due regard for the interests of the government as one of tbe parties to tbe transactions. There is no disposition to drive a sharp bargain with the holders of tbe bonds, but it will not do to say that there is no side to the bargain except that of the seller and holder, and that these bonds must be bought and the interest advanced on such terms as their interest alono dictates. The competltton offoroi in the sale of bonds is a just way to fix their price, and will be fairly pursued as long as it seems to protect against an undue advantago on the part of sellers, and results in offers which, upon business considerations, ought to regulate their value as between privato parties. REUNION OF VETERANS Twenty-five Years from the Day They Marched to tht Front. At most of the breakers there was a bit of work yesterday—e couple of hours of it It was "cleaning up." Loaded cars were run up, dumped, crushed and sorted, mostly with the assistance of imported labor, which is looked upon as the possible cause of trouble in the strike. Many of the early risers here and elsewhere saw the visible signs of labor at the breakers and rejoioed in the hope that the strike had fallen through. But their joy was short lived. Of course the commercial interests here are all agog on the subject A striko means a paralysis of business, for ninetenths of the trade comes from the mines. Jamestown, N. Y., Sept 18.—The reunion of the One Hundred and Twelfth and One Hundred and Fifty-fourth regiments and Seventh Sharpshooters began yesterday. The LiuAness streets were lavishly decorated with bunting and flags. At 1 p. m. the procession formod and marched to Marvin park. About 400 men were in line. At the park a large audience was present The exercises opened with a brief address by Capt E. A. limtis, and prayer by Rev. N. L Rubiukam. Mayor Price made a brief speoch of welcome, and A. M. Lowry, of Jamestown, responded in behalf of the old soldiers. The Rev. W. L. Uydo delivered an addross, giving a history of the One Hundred and Twelfth regiment A. C. Pichard, of the Seventh Independent Company of Sharpshooters, and Maj. Cameron, of the One Hundred and Fifty-fourth regiment, lid the somo for their organizations. The exercises were interspersed with music by the bond. The soldiers are being entertained by the at thoir homes. It was twenty-five years ago yesterday that the One Hundred and Twelfth left Jamestown for the front Shiloh's Cough and Consumption Cur* is sold by J. K. Fleming, on a guarantee. It cure consumption. Councilman Carey, Officer Lynoh and Mayor Job Maley also testified, but only in corroboration of Murphy's evidence. Jackson was then recommitted to the county jail to await the action of the grand jury, vhiih sits early in October. The examina*jud of all the other accused parties will take place on Thursday afternoon. Fall Season ]flf|7 ■ailm Intelligence.

Daniel Wolf and William Boetger and their families occupied the first Aid second floors, while on the third floor lived flvo Hungarians. The Boetgers and Wolfs managed to escape, bnt the Ave Hungarians ooold not got down the burning stairway. Crowds gathered on the street and called to them to jump from the windows. Three of them, Joseph La Katski, John ▲doth and John Kitgholf, unable to bear the torture of the flames, sprang ont and landed in the crowd below. All three were so badly burned that their flesh qame off In plaose. Tliey were taken in a carriage to St Michael's hospital, in Newark, where they lie iu a critical condition.

J., Sept. 13.—Samuel Denmead, the hermit, whose wife and brother Robert were found dead in the hut on Commercial avenue on March 10, and who, with his brother John, was suspected of having killed them, died yesterday. It is supposed that Denmead was born about 1815. Ho was a good sixud boy when his father moved hero in 18S17. His mother committed suicide in 1896, and his father died of cholera in 1817. Immediately after the father's death the three brothers, Samuel, John and Robert, moved to the hut in Commercial avenue, where they lived nearly thirty years. Samuel expressed a wish a short time before ho died to be buried in the Methodist burying ground. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral. His troubles drove him insano, and be starved himself to death.

ML—After a shut down of six weeks the American linen mills started up yesterday, all of the striking spinners resuming their places. The settlement of the differences between the spinners and management was brought about by Senator Howard, who drew up the statement, under terms of which the men resumed work. By the provisions of this paper the spinners promised that in future they would not go on strike without first trying to havo their grievances settled by arbitration. Tha resumption of work in the mill gives employment to 800 operatives. Broome County Republicans, "These men can stand out two weeks to the one weok of Buglish speaking miners. If we stand alone for three months they are good for six. They can live on almost nothing. As for their spirit, they are full of it; and if it oomes to fighting you will find them In the front ranks. I (ell you It will not be healthy for the operators to try and import labor for settling up this question. The miners have been two years trying to get the operators to listen to their demands for better wages. It is idle for the Utter to say that outsiders have made these demands, for every msmbsr of tho demand committee is a working 'miner. We havo always been treated with silent eontempt Now the men are in a desperate frame of mind. They wont brook fooling. If the mine owners attempt their old game of Intimidation they will find that it don't work. The 'Home guard,' that outrageous body of men who precipitated violence and murdered unoounted men In the last great strike, will meet with trouble if they try those tactics again.
