Consider Quality This week we offer tho Pottsvllle, Pn., Nov. 21.—Joseph Pulewicz hns been acquitted of tlie murder of Joseph Beddnll, who was fatally beaten during a riot incident to the coal miners' strike at Shenandoah July 30. The riot in which Boddall was killed occurred in th£ business section of Shenandoah and resulted In the ordering out of state troops. Beddall was a leading merchant and a cousin of Sheriff S. Rowland Beddall of Schuylkill county. Last evening, between four and five o'clock, a man's body was seen falling from the Plymouth bridge. It was later seen floating on the surface of the stream and was recovered as quickly as, possible, but life was extinct. Nobody who saw the body last night could identify it, and It was taken to McLaughlin's undertaking establishment, in Wilkesbarre. This morning the remains were identified as those of William R. Evans, a well known resident of Edwardsvllle. The deceased had been calling on friends in Plymouth, and was walking across the river to Mercy hospital, for the purpose of having an injury to his hand treated, when he either fell or jumped into the river.

Washington, Nov. 21. — President Roosevelt arrived in Washington from his Southern trip at 7.57 this morning. He was greatly pleased with the trip, despite his failure to capture the wily bruin. He was able, for the first time In his life, to Btudy the people of the South at close range, and it may be said that Us ideas on some subjects hare undergone a change. He admits that the negroes are not fit to be a guiding race in the States where they predominate, but at the same time is resolved that all hope of office and political reward shall not be taken from them.

Pardee & Co., where the employes refused tb return to work because they were asked tp sign an agreement not to interfere with non-union men, was settled yesterday. Instead of signing an agreement individually at the mines, the men decided in a body to abide by its provisions, and empowered a committee of their local to make a written promise that all of the employes will comply with its conditions. All of the men but three, who are accused by the company of being unduly' active during the strike, will be reinstated.

Y., Nov. 21.—Fire in the picking 'room of the Victor Knitting Mill,' this morning, caused a panic ambng the several thousand girls employed in the establishment. The Victor is the largest knitting mill in the world. The fire started in a two-story structure between mill No. 1, which is seven stories high, and mill No. 2, which is Six stories high. As smoke began to pour out of the windows, there was a wild rush on the part of the operatives, the girls climbing over each other in terror.' Several were •bout to Jump from the windows when they were restrained by those who did not lose their presence of mind. Mrs. Conyngham, an employ.e, fell while going down stairs and suffered • fracture of her hip. The selling of $8,000,000 of coal trust certificates to the Glrnrd Trust company caused some surprise. The transaction is. somewhat similar to the action taken by the Philadelphia and Heading Coal and Iron comphny when It made the Finance Company of Pennsylvania its coal agent.
