THE STRIKING
COAL MINERS
STAND FIRM.
[Tho Great Demonstration. Yesterday
at Wilkesbarre Participated
in by 15,000.
THE TEN PER CENT CONCESSION
the Operators Apparently Ha3
Not Weakened the Miners i x
xneir Jtiig ?ignt.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2.?No brenlc
lias yet occurred In the ranks'of the
ptriklng mine workers, though additional
notices of the otter of an Increase
of 10 per cent In wages were posted
throughout the region. In fact there
were many Indications to-day of an Intent
on the part of the strikers to Insist
on other concessions and to also remain
out until the operators give recognition
to their national organization.
The feature of the day was the parade
and mass meeting of mine workers at
Wllkesbarre with the object of demonstrating
the strength of the United Aline
.Workers. A conservative estimate
places the number of strikers In the
procession at 15,000 and the day was
generally given up as a holiday by the
people of Wllkesbarre and other Lucerne
county towns.
The mass meeting was addressed by
President Mitchell and other oincers of
the miners organization. President
Mitchell, in his speech, congratulated
the strikers on having already received
n proffer of 10 per ccnt increase In
wages. He said their cause had been
recognized everywhere as a righteous
one and the time was not far distant I
thaw .-tnllM ..~-.~l.-o. e?? I
pensatlon for their labor. He advised
them to stand firmly together. He said
the strike, shall not be ended by him,
and could only be closed when a contention
of miners acts.
It Is estimated that there were fully
15,000 men and boys In line. The boys
constituted the working1 force In the
beakers. They were only a small part
of the procession. The great bulk of
the paraders were made of stalwart
men. As a rule they were all well dressed
and some of them might be taken
for a body of well fed farmers. They
^walked six, live and four abreast. The ,
music was furnished by about forty
bands.of music and drum corps.
There were many banners of various
designs carried by the men.
The parade passed over the principal
Streets of the city and thousands of1
people lined the sidewalks. Here and
there an enthusiastic admirer of Prudent
Mitchell would break through the
lines and insist on shaking hands with
I him. One of the features of the bis
procession was a brass band from Nanticokc,
the members of which were
dressed in overalls. They played excellent
music. The Plttston locals had a
float with four men representing coal
barons. They were dressed accordingly
and were busy drinking champagne.
Directly following was a float with dust
begrimed miners dining on bread and j
water. A stretcher was carried containing
a dummy, representing a miner
who had Just lost his llf i In the mines,
while in the discharge of his duty.
When President Mitchell reviewed tha
great army of marchers on the river
common, he seemed to be a very proul
roan. Ho was generously applauded by
the marchers. Business was at a standstill
in the city all afternoon.
It was after 4 o'clock when the last
of the marchers swept past President
Mitchell. Then he and his colleagues
were driven to West Side Park, where
the big mass meeting was held. For
several hours a crowd had been gat he i |
c.d there, and It was estimated that
|| nearly 20,000 persons were massed In
j front of the stand, when the labor president
began to speak. The reception he
received from the vast crowd was a
most enthusiastic one.
Mr. Mitchell was expected to Indicate
In his speoclv his view on the 10 per cent
Increase concedcd by the operators, but
beyond noting It a3 a victory he had
nothing to say on that point.
Neither did ha intimate anything as
to the probability of nn early convention
of miners, and after the meeting,
** IIITII 1IUMHUUCU w.? mill. ?<5f
said that not a local mint? had requost?
ed the calling of a convention.
A significant move. In this direction,
however, developed to-night at Shenandoah,
where all the local branches of
the United Aline Workers held meetings
and selected delegates to a convention
to be called later by. President Mitchell.
This is the first announcement of the
aclectlon of convention delegates.
The entire region was quiet to-day
and very few mines were In operation.
Strikers' Refusal.
NEW YOItK, Oct. 2.?Vice President
Eayre, of the Lehigh Valley railroad,
paid to-day regarding the strikers' re
lusal to accept the 10 per cent Increase
In wages offered thein by Home companies:
"I cannot tell what our next step
will be In case the striking miners definitely
and absolutely reject our concessions.
It Is a contingency which we
have not had occasion to discuss much
uk yet. This much 1h certain, however,
the companies will wait some little time
before taking any further steps, and
will jflve their former employes time to
thoroughly understand the situation."
Wages Advanced.
SCIIANTON, Pa., Oct. 1?The Delaware,
I^ackawanna & Western Kalhvny
Company posted notice to-day that the
wnKt-s of Its employes would be ndI
vnnced 10 per cent from October 1. and
that the price of powder would be reduced
to II f?0, Similar notices, worn
J"?*ted to-day by the Hillside Coal and
Iron Company and the Temple Iron and
Coal Company,
' WHITE VICTORIOUS. ^
Has Easy Sailing With John Holt.
Latter Handles a Bad Case Well.
Immenso Crowd Present.
Special Dispatch to the Intelligencer.
HUNTINGTON, W. Va., Oct. 2.?Tho
second meeting: of the two candidates
for governor, Hon. A. B. White and
Judge John H. Holt, In the aeries of
Joint discussions, took place In this city
to-night. Such an unusual event could
not have resulted otherwise than to
d?aw an Immense crowd of hearers. The
Davis theatre, having the largest seating
capacity of any building In the p
cJty, was not adequate to seat one-half U
the people who desired admittance.
From the city, from the counties of
Cabell, Wayne, Lincoln und even Put- &
nam, crowds came anxious to witness
the meeting of the two leaders. At 6
o'clock this evening a special train from
Charleston brought the Elklns marching
club, newspaper men and over 300
others, while the regular trains over
the Chesapeake & Ohio and Ohio River n,
roads brought large crowds. ?
The two leaders reached the city at 7 J
o'clock this morning from Bluefleld, a
where the llrst meeting took place yes- w
terday, and though they had been on tt
the train nearly all night, both men gi
seemed to be In excellent condition for al
the meeting. ^
White's Eeceptlon. w
Mr. White was met at the depot by p]
D. E.Abbott, E. M. Campbell and 13. W. ^
Foster and driven in a carriage to the
Carolina hotel, where he was met by .
most of the local leaders during the
forenoon. He was the guest of Dr. _
Haworth, of the Herald, at dinner, and ,v>'
spent the afternoon with a number of ni
friends at the hotel, calling for a C
while at Republican headquarters rt
There was less formality observed In p<
Mr. Holt's arrival. He left the train at n,
| Ninth street near his law olllcc and quietly
repaired to his home on Eleventh
street, where he spent much of the
time with his family, giving up a por- S?
Uon of the day, however, to a consulta- ai
tlon with members of the Democratic ni
committee and the local leaders of his
I party.
i The chairmen of the respective coun- ^
| ty committees had made the most elabI
orate preparations for the meeting and 3
so completely was every detail carried 111
out that they are being congratulated 1)1
I upon their successful management of
i the big meeting. rt
This being Mr. Holt's home city, he G
enjoyed the advantage of the sympa- Sj
thy begotten of a neighborly contact
and social intercourse. ni
While on the other hand, Mr. White
not being himself a stranger to Huntington
people, enjoys a following made pi
up from personal acquaintances, and
was backed by an enthusiastic, loyal 01
set of Republicans as ever followed a bi
standard bearer. ai
sonting tho Association Meet, of
Wapo Question Settled. [J,
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.?The conference
between the officers of tho Amerlean ,J,
Tin PJate Company and the delegates \v
representing tho tin workers* nssoela- P^
tlon of America, was continued to-day. ^
The wage question was settled though
on what basis was nnt olHclnlly an- la
nounced, but It was reported that the th
employes had been granted an advance "J]
of 10 per cent. Kl
After tho conference President Pow- Je:
ell, of tho employes' association, said
that though n full settlement had not jc
been reached, he was almost assured bt
that n satisfactory termination of the ^
conference would result to-morrow. Vice
President Arms, of tho samo f0
compuny, held the sumo opinion# do
| Mr. Holt certainly made the most of <v
a bad cause. He handled the various psubjects
discussed with his character- a]
istic ingenuity which imparted to his
lines of defense a phase of seeming invulnerability,
until they were assailed u
by his opponent, who was thrice armed
because his cause was Just, when they P
.wer.^dlsrobed and e3.hjblted theirdeformity
and fllmsiriess. ti
White the Victor. v
At 7:45 o'clock ex-Postmaster H. M. l'
Adams called the meeting to order and
announced the order of the discussion
and asked that the Republican side of
the house give respectful attention to
the address of Mr. Holt. T. S. Scanlon,
for the Democrats, made a similar request
of that side of the house, when
Mr. Adams introduced Mr. White. He te
received a great ovation, lasting several to
minutes, and as soon as order was restored
he proceeded with the discuss- ,
ton,
Mr. White opened his argument by w
asserting that th? paramount Issue was w
not at all what our Democratic friends
asserted that it was. The paramount
Issue In any campaign Is the Issue w
which more directly affects our pecunl- re
ary and moral condition In every dny rj;
life. He proceeded to demonstrate the
work of the last Democratic administration
in destroying the happy condl- ht
Hon of affairs In 1892. and cited the th
splendid reform prosperity brought by ^
the present administration. He showed
that It was the fixed purpose of the P(
I Democratic party to adopt free coinage nt
of silver fit th?? ratio of 16 to 1. He also V(
ably defend?*! thp course of the present
administration In Its foreign policy,
proving conclusively that this Issue of of
I Imperialism was a mere myth or a delusion
of the Democratic imagination. fr
Holt Outclassed.
Mr. Holt was Introduced by Mr. m
Scanlon and was accorded a magnlfl- g0
cent ovation. He attempted to answer U?
Mr. "White's argument that Republican re
policy was responsible for the splendid 0l
I prosperity, by saying that the Al- ai
I mighty was responsible. Hedeclarod that
| governmental policies did not have 30
j half as much to do with- producing
prosperity as the politicians would have
you believe. G
| At the close of Mr. Holt's address a
| hundred or more on the Democratic CI
side. 110 doubt anticipating what was to tl<
follow, left the house, and others who P*
! remained attempted to interrupt Mr. P?
White, but by the urgent demand of m
t Mr. Holt and Chairman Scanlon they 111
j subsided and the speaker proceeded and
the result of the Joint discussion will ,c
I evidently strengthen the Republican to
line. While Mr. Holt's address was an ed
Ingenious array of bare assertions, It th
did not stand the scathing assault of br
j Mr. White's array of facts in his- clos- m
I Ing speech.
I More complete wan the victory of Mr. 'al
White than that of Dewey In Manila of

that he Is so Insistent upon, must be
had In the Philippines, why It should
not be Insisted upon In North Carolina
as well."
At Kearney, Governor Roosevelt said:
"I noticed the other day that somebody
pointed out to Mr. Bryan that
farm products In Nebraska had advanced.
Mr. Bryan represented thnt the
Republican party always claims credit
for everything providence did. Well, I
ain perfectly willing to admit ther'e hns
been a fusion between providence and
the Republican party, but I wish to
point out that providence never fuses
with Democracy. In other words, while
It Is true that If the hand of the Lord
Is against us. If nature sends drought
and Hood, then the wisdom of man Is of
scant avail; but it Is no less true that
1 by folly such as that which our oppoi
nents championed four years ago and
champion to-day, we would render all
the gifts of providence of no avail,
j Whereas, by doing just as the Republican
party has done in the last four r
" years we assure In the future a continuance
of the same prosperity, which we
have seen during those same four
years."
AT BRYAN'S HOME
; Colonel Roosevelt Was Given a Mag- r
nlflcent Reception. n
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 2.?Governor
i Roosevelt was accorded a magnificent
demonstration this afternoon by the
! citizens of Lincoln. Nothing equal to It
hr.s bean seen during the progress of
the governor's journey through the
west. Along the line of march from
the station to Capitol House Square,
the streets, windows and balconies were
, filled with cheering people. In many
streets the crowds were so dense as toImpede
the passage of the carriages and
| the mounted escort.
After the procession had passed In re*: ,
view, Governor Roosevelt was conduct'
ed to a speaker's stand where ho spoke
for forty-live minutes, going over the
same ground in his remarks as he has
traveled over before upon the Issues of
expansion, militarism. Imperialism and
patriotism. His remarks were punctuated
by frequent cheers. '
The evening meeting at Plattsmouth,
was also a great success In point of
numbers and Interest. This meeting
closed the day.
While delivering his speech at Aurora,
Governor Roosevelt was Interrupted
by a man who cried out: "How about
1 the trusts?"
Governor Roosevelt: "What trust do
you mean?"
Inquirer: "Oh, the Ice trust, I eef
trust, the oil trust and all of them."
Governor Roosevelt: "Shall I tell you o
about Chairman Jones' cotton bale 0
trust or Richard Croker's Ice trust?"
Governor Roosevelt continued: "He
puis tnc question in good faith and I J
will try to answer it In good faith. The t
trusts at presant have to be dealt with j
, each state by itself. A denunciation of ,
trusts Is of no value when not connected
with action. Democratic dcnuncla- E
Hon of trusts amounts to nothing when t
Mr. Jones, chairman of the national 0
Democratic committee, la at the head
of the cotton bale truBt, and when Mr. 1
Croker, the leader of the New York r
Democracy, has a large ownership in K
another. These facts convict them of '
Insincerity and that's all there is about

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.?Senator Hanna, e
chairman of the Republican national j,
committee, to-day made his first ad- a
dress In Chicago since his return from ^
Now York. lie spoke nt a noon meet- ^
lng of Commercial men and retail sales- q
men. The largo hall where he spoke h
was filled, not a few women being In tlia u
audience.
Senator I-Tnnna said the only man h2 fl
knew who "approximated an emperor," n
was Klchard Croker. lie charged Mr. n
Croker with fostering the Interests of ?j
the Icq trust and declared that the ice ^
combination Is a trust If there Is such a E
thing as a trust. He said little about R
"Imperialism." asserting that It is a s
false issue and "a bugaboo." ^
Senator liana spoke In part as fol- ,,
lows:
"It is cncournglng to one to Bee that u
he business Intercuts and the worklgmen
of the United States are awaknlng
to the importance of the issues.
Ivery Democratic issue that bas been
resented to the American public thus
ar has been for the purpose of leading
stray the minds of the people from the
eal Issue. There Is but one Issue, only
ne ? the Issue of prosperity and the
ontlnuatlon of It. The Issue to-day Is
ust what It was In 1S9S, only more so.
'he question Is, do the American peole
want as a foundation for their Invest
sound money and protection to
mcrlcnn Interests and American workigmen.
"I don't want to talk about lmporlalsm,
my friends?that's played out. It
5 a bugaboo. It was intended to be a
ugaboo. tl was Intended to deceive

Issue; It is a fraud: It Is a humbug
5 talk about the American people reolvlng
themselves into an empire, or

A well known citizen, whoso liberality
las been manifest on numerous occalons,
but who desires that his name be
withhold from publication, yesterday

Field Day finance committee, to be
levoted toward paying th* charge made
>y the West Virginia State Fair Association
for the use of the fair grounds

At the same time and place there will
>e meetings of the Field Day commutes,
for the purpose of furthering arangements
for the big: affair of October
3. A full attendance Is desired.
Captains of Rough Rider companies
vho have not secured their quota ot
lckets for Field Day from SecretaryCreasnrer
Dave C. Dinger, of the
lnance committee, are urgently re[uested
to do eo to-day, and distribute
he tickets among their m*n for sale,
t Is upon the advance sale of thM
Ickets that the success of the affair
ests, and there should be no lagging at
my point along the line. Rough Riders
elllng tickets are urged to place them
n bunches of five and ten wherever
josslMe? the ,low price of ten cents
nakeij this an easy proposition. Up to
late nearly 5,000 tickets have been dlsributed,
and It Ik likely 10,000 will bo
old before Field Day arrives.
This morning at 6 o'clock, Messrs.
rason C. Stamp and Edward Sal ad R
cave for Canton on their wheels to
nako arrangement for the Tntelllgener-Reposljory

n Canton Thursday morning by a repesentatlve
of the Intelligencer, when
he arrangements for the starting of the
nessage on Its Journey by relay to

Some people have only a dim idea of
vhat a relay race means. Two have
teen run through Wheeling, the first in
S94, from Washington to Denver, Colo.,
he riders carrying a message from
Seneral Miles, U. S. A., to the army
nicer in command of the department
f the Colorado at Denver. Another
clay race was conducted the following
ear by the Intclllgencer, the riders
ringing a message from the mayor of
Mttsburgh to Mayor Caldwell, of
Vheellng. The modus operandi is quit';
imple, riders being distributed along
he route In advance, and one after the
ther they take up the pouch containing
he message and ride their respective
el ay a, which are usually flvo to ten
alles long. Relays are used because a
ingle cycler would be unable to ride as
oat for ninety-two miles (the distance
rom Canton to Wheeling) as ho can for
ivo or ten miles.
The Canton-Wheeling Relay will llk-iy
leave Canton at 8 a. m. (fast time)
n the day of tho Field Day, and It is
xpccted that It can be pushed over the

NEGRO BURNED
AT THE STAKE
IN ALABAMA.
Charged With an Attempt to Assault
a Married Woman, Whose
Husband wob Absent.
ALL OF THE BUSINESS HOUSES
Shut Down?Blood-Hounds Brought
. Into Service?Favored Death,
at tha Stake.
WETUMPKA, Ala., Oct 2.?WInfleld
Townsend, alias Floyd, a negro, waa
burned at the stake In the little town of
Eclectic, fifteen miles from this place, a
half hour after midnight this morning.
The crime with which ho waa charged
was an attempted assault upon Mrs.
Bonnie Harrington, whose husband set!
fire to the brands which reduced Townsend'a
body to ashes, yesterday afternoon
about 1 o'clock. The negro Is a
nephew of the negro Floyd, who waa
hung In the WetumpXa Jail week berora
fore last for attempted assault,
on Mrs. Harrington. Mr. Harrington
waa engaged at a cotton gin In
Eclectic and lives one mile out of town.
The negro came to the bouse and told
Mrs. Harrington that her husband had
sent him to get twenty cents from, her.
She told him she had no change;. Then
the negro left but returned in about don
minutes.
Saw the Negro Escape.
Tho woman's screams were heard by
Bob Nichols, another negro, who waa
passing along the road at the lime. Ho
ran to the house In time to see the negro
escaped. As soon as Mrs. Harrington
was broughtfback to consciousness,
Nichols gave the alarm.
The news spread rapidly. All tho
stores In Eclcctrlc were closed, all the
grins and saw mills shut down; tho people
left their wagons in the road and
their plows in the field and gathered for
a pursuit of the negro. The crowd divided
and scoured the woods near tho
scene of the crime, and others went to
the penitentiary for bloodhounds. Tho
dogs were not brought to the scene until
' nearly dark. They were taken to
where the negro's tracks disappeared
and an exciting chase ensued. The
degs stopped finally at a treo in front of
Odlon's store on the outskirts of the
town. Tho crowd coming up soon, discovered
the negro sitting on a limb. Ho
was brought down at once and taken to
the scene of his crime. There he was
1 confronted by his victim, who positively
identified him.
Word Was Sent Out.
Word was sent to tho other searching
parties that the negro had been found
and about 11 o'clock a crowd of several
hundred was in the little village. The
negro was then taken to the edge'of tho
village and surrounded by the mob, he
shivered with fear. The preparations
for death were quickly made. A ropo
was flung over the limb of a big oah
and a hundred stood ready to lend a
hand at the rope.
Then a halt was called and the manner
of death discussed by the mob. To
ilnrlrt** thi* mattor n vnfp urn* (nUpn JinA
, the balloting showed a majority of tho
' crowd to favor death at the stake.
The stake was prepared and the negro
was bound with chains. Pine knots
were piled about him and the flames
were fired by the husband of the negro's
victim. As they leaped to the wretch's
flesh hlB wild cries upon God for mercy
and help could be heard for miles. Tho
crowd looked on deaf to his cries and la
an hour the negro was reduced to ashes,
Townsend, before being bound, confessed
to tho crime, and sold he was
also implicated with Alexander Floyd,
who was hung a couple of weeks ago
for an attempted assault on Miss Kato
Pearson, in tho attempt at that tlmo.
He said he and Floyd had planned for
| other crimes of like character, but that
Floyd being hanged put a stop to then*
