He threatened to do so during one of the conferences when one of the owners a** cused him of being an obstacle in the way of Ata agreement, but was persuaded to at least postpone such action. Notwithstanding President Shaffer's attitude the workers generally are pleased with the new scale as l»eing quite as favorable as was expected.

BROAD AND I1IN STS., PITTSTON George Wortz of rittsburg, in speaking of recent tremendous increase in in dustriai securities, told the following story: "One of the prominent operators who engineered one of the big steel deals last year one day received a letter from a professional man in a western city. The letter said that this man had as an in vestment bought 400 shares of this particular stock at 40; that the stock was at 20 now and the consequent loss of $8,000 had pretty nearly ruined him; that he had bought the stoek because of the financier's connection with it, and then the letter wound up with an appeal to the steel magnate to help him out. The Wall street man Investigated the story, ascertained, as he thought, that it wai true and wrote the other that if he would send the 400 . shares to his broker he would take it up at 40, the price orig inally paid for it. This was done, and later the operator discovered that the stork had been purchased the day it was delivered to him and that the story of the origiual purchase was a myth.

Twelve Killed la a Railway Wreck. On Deo. 24, 1895, he encountered at Peralejo the army of General Gomez, which was without any military organization apd which was poorly and sparsely armed. In the buttle the army under Campos was completely routed and fled incontinently to Havana. Campos edtofessed with tears in his eyes that he was beaten, randemonium succeeded. Of course Spanish honor could not brook this sort of thing. The name "pacificator," which had been bestowed on him by the colonists as a mark of esteem, was employed at home as a title of derision. His vacillating and tender policy, it was charged, had swelled the rebel ranks. As the world knows, he was recalled in disgrace-and for his successor was chosen a man against whom no charge of tenderness could be brought. General Weyler, who had put down an insurrection in the Philippines in 1889, was the person selected. In addition to the orators at these general meetings many of the Catholic priestn in their sermons spoke words of advice and warning to their parishioners. Father Phillips'here in Ilazleton expressed strongly his sympathy with the strike, which it* his latest position on the subject, and asked blessings upon any one and every orte who assisted the strikers in attaining their object in an orderly and Iawabiding manner. He urged the miners to be temperate and well behaved and not gather, in groups on the streets. Father Mack, the rector of the church at Drifton, with many workers from the Coxe Bros, and Markle company mines in his congregation, made a strong point on the absolute right which every man has to work if he chooses to do so and pointing out that no man bad any right, divine or eivil, to interfere with the exercise of this privilege by his neighbor. He furthermore entreated the miners-to refrain from drink, as the situation wa& one which made it imperative that their brains be clear. n' "KAWANNA, •♦THE" AUNDRY.

It has resulted in Elder Silas Moot of Lima, O., and Ephraim Bassinger of Bluffton, O., receiving coats of tar by infuriated citizens. After several elders of the church who were sent persistently to Mansfield had been mobbed the authorities, to protect them, took them in custody and sent them out of the city again on the next train. This plan of action was followed several suci-essive Sundays, and the people were satisfied. The authorities tried every means in their power to persuade, the leaders of the church not to send preachers to Mansfield until the excitement bad quieted down, but without avail.
