The eldest of the four i. now nearly .so years of age. Yesterday morning, our party which was to go to the battlefields of Gettys burg, assembled together in the Metro politan Hotel and marched to the Pennsylvania Co's, depot, two or three blocks away, where weekook a special train for this place.

Several of the party, in spite of the rain, went to locate positions of their different regiments engaged in the battles here on the 1st. 2d and 3d days of July, 1863. This morning, we prepared for our visit to the battlefields, notwithstand ing that the weather was looking very unfavorable for us. It was rather damp and chilly when we started in our carriages from the Eagle Hotel but soon after, we were again favored with the appearance of the sun, and the day has roved to be a pleasant one. after all our conjectures. We had a long line of carriages, and upon our arrival at the monument of the liith Me. Inf., where they had such a des perate fight under the order to hold this ground at all hazards, we left the carriages and grouped together to lis ten to a lecture by the famous L. B. Minnigh. who was a boy here at the time of the war: was educated here at the college, and has devoted his en tire time since then to lecturing or this subject. We then went to Ceme tery Hill, near the entrance to the Na tional cemetery, where the beautiful monument to Gen. Hancock »s situated Another description was given here re lating to the first and second days fighting. From here we drove to Culps Hill, viewing as we proceeded on our way the many different monuments placed by the government and the different states of the Cnion, showing the lines occupied by the different corps, di visions. brigades and regiments during these battles. Near, and just beyond Culps* Hill, we find the only Confed erate monument on this field. This was to the 2d Maryland Regiment.

AGONY CONTINUES The Strikers Awaiting “Officia Appeal” from Operators. Mitchell Says They Have Heard Noth ing Direct from Baer. Operators Meet at New York—Nothing New Develops. Wiikesbatre. Pa., Oct. 14.—President Mitchell or the t'nited Mine Workers, dictated the following statement to the press, tonight: "i lully appreciate with what anxiety the people of our country are await ing the end of the coal strike. The i oal operators have not addressed the Miners i nion or its officers in making their public statement. Xl is, there foie, impossible for me to state the attitude of the miners at this time. 1 am now. as I have always been, deeply solicitous of the interests of the public and the welfare of the mine workers who have been on strike for the past five months. A formal statement de fining our iiosition and intentions will be issued just as soon as we are in possession of the full meaning of the operators." DO YOU NEED COAL? Some Speculations as to the Time When You Will Got It. Washington, Oct. 14.—There is con siderable speculation as to how soon the effects of u settlement of the coal sti ike will be felt by the individual consumers. David T. Hay, chief of the division of mineral resources of the United States geological survey, and an expert on coal, refused to make any predictions beyond the expression of an opinion that there would be a prompt improvement in the conditions of coal supply in the cities. “If the settlement.” said he, "is ef fected and the miners go to work im mediately, there is no question but that a coal famine will be averted, and suffering among the poor prevented. I believe it will not be veiy long before normal conditions in the way of coa! supply wiil prevail.” An authority who knows the con ditions of the coal industry of the country intimately predicts that the price of coal will fall by the early part of December to the price' that pre vailed before a strike began. "Bear in mind/’ said this authority, "that I do not say that people can get all they want by that time, for they cannot. It would be a physical im possibility. But it is probable-that coal will be quoted at the normal flgui about that time. Knough coal to fill all the demands cannot lie taken out of the mines in such a short period. But if the miners return to work im mediately I see no reason why all the (•onl wanted throughout the country cannot be supplied by about the mid dle of February. “If the miners should return to work by next Monday they can get out of the mines in the neighborhood of 40, 000 to 50,000 tons a day during that week. Within two weeks they should be able to put out approximately 75.000 tons a dav and within six weeks the output should approximate 100.00O tons.” OPERATORS' WEEKLY MEETING Heid at New York Without Much Ap oarent Interest in Situation. vew York. Oct. 14.-The regular week ly meeting of the coal operators, today. .Vk meceded bv a conference with a committee of the National Association of Manufacturers,and at tile conference thi salient points of a plan to settle the an thracite coal strike were submitted by the manufacturers. The operators will consider the plan while the mine workers kre retching a conclusion in regard to the nronosel of arbitration submitted to Pres ident Roosevelt at Washington, yestei iiav A member of the Manufacturers committee said that he knew the Asso ciation's plans would be acceptable to Mr Mitchell. The same member of tile committee said that the Manufacturers plan would be considered hy the oper a rs if the mine workers reject the plan submitted to the President, yesterday. The operators began their meeting im mediately after the conference with the manufacturers and at the close of the meeting President Baer of the Reading. ™,id that no statement would he given out regarding it. The members of the manufacturers' committee at the confer ence were: David N. Parry, president 01 the association: Frank Peak ot I hila delphia. and Richard Young of this city. Mr l.cakc s.iid thai the proposition ot the Manufacturers' Association had not been formally presented to the operator, but that its salient points had been dis cussed He said that at present the bl imirous miners are organized and that if tin anthracite miners became organ ized on similar lines it was lus belief that the price of coa! would be permanently advanced, with the result that manufac turers would have to advance the price of all articles manufactured. He sam his association was desirous of having »rices remain as they are now. According to President Parry s secreta ry at the meeting between Mr. Mitchell tnd the representatives of the Manufac turers' Association at Buffalo, last week. ,nd the secretary says they have steno graphic notes of the proceedings. Mr. Mitchell agreed to forego the recognition a the union in hi« demands upon the op erators i! there was a general advance in wages of IP per cent. Mr. Parry and Mr. Leake announced that they would leave the city, tonight, hue their destination could not be learn "a.11 of the leading operators were pres ent at the meeting except President Oly phant and Vice President Wilcox of the Delaware Hudson. While the coal operators meeting wa in progress. J. Pierpont Morgan and hi. nartner. Robert Bacon, arrived .n the citv from Washington, and they went di rectly to Mr. Morgan's office. Mr. Mor gan was asked: Have you heard anything from Mr. Mitchell in regard to the terms of tht have not heard anything since left replied the financier.

The fi.Mowing dispatch was received in this city through the regular Asso ciated Press service, last evening: Boston, Oct. 14.—On the complaint of Miss Annie MacKinnon of Xewtonville, that he was going to leave the state. John A. Itirch, a coachman, employed in that place, was arrested at the North 1'nion station, today, bv Deputy Sheriff Tiiden.

Miss MacKinnon claims that Birch was on his way to Augusta, Me., where, tomorrow, he was to wed Miss Dorothy Snow of that place. Miss MacKinnon says that she had kept company with Birch for about 15 years and furthermore that their troth was plighted. The dispatch makes very pretty read ing. but the Journal was unable, last evening, to locate any of the parties or to substantiate any of the state ments. A message to Boston asking if the reference to Augusta, Me., received the answer: Miss MacKinnon said Birch was headed for your bailiwick.” GUESTS OF PORTLAND.

Oct. 14.—Speaking of conditions of the island of Samar. Gen. Fred Grant, who has just returned front the Philippines, said in an interview: “Samar is enjoying the first period of peace that it has ever known and I am entirely satisfied ihat the Inhabitants will not attempt to make further trou ble for our government. Now that they have been forced- by the stress of mil itary operations to cease hostilities the natives for the most part seem abso lutely contented with the new order of things. “When I first went to Samar it was a case of fight our way everywhere nnd protect yourself while so doing. A sol dier could not venture much out of hailing distance of even the conquered towns without being set upon and kill ed by savage natives. Now an Amer ican can go anywhere and go unarmed. The Morns, of course, will commit acts of depredation now and again, but it needs only a strong force to hold them in check. A little trouble may also be expected from the natives of the Sulu group, who are more ignorant than those on the olher islands." Gen. Grant paid a high tribute to the services in checking the cholera epi demic rendered by Surg. Reno. Ser geants Pinto, De Kraft and Stockdale. Francis K. Torrey left fur his old home In Richmond.

The I’nited Slates in turn would look to the government of Colom bia for repayment of the Judgment, hold ing that the action taken was in strict accordance with the treaty stipulation by which the United States is hound to maintain free transit across the isthmus, and this right of reclamation on the part of the United Slates would be exercised. The army medical officials say there is little danger of the bringing of cholera to this country by the army transports irorn Manila.

THE GRAND TRUNK RAILROAD Will Pay Dividend on Second Preferred For First Time Since 1883. Ijontlon. Oct. 14.—The semi-annual meeting offthe shareholders of the Ure.'jd Trunk Railway of I'anada, Mon day afternoon, was largely attended and the report was unanimously ap proved. President Wilson was in the chair. His references to the fact that second prefi rreds on which interest has not boiui aid since 1SSP, would receive a. 4T111 dividend elicited hearty ap plause. Referring to the controversy on the merits of American and British meth ods of railroad finance the* president said each road whether in America or cheat Britain must necessairily be pov rued by its own eircumrtances. President Wilson believed every step should be taken with a view of Wne litting future shareholders and that m hand to mouth policy should be severe ly avoided. He also referred to many industries which started up during the past yjwir adjacent to the Grand Trunk’s lines both in Canada and tin* Pnited States and said the coal strik in th» ITnited States had not affected the Crand Trunk. BRAKES REFUSED DUTY. Motorman Badly and Two Passengers Badly Hurt at Newburyport. Newhuryport, Mass.. Oct. 14.—A head on collision took place on the Plum Is land division of the Citizens 'Railway.

The entire front platform anil vestibule were demolished and Brown was pinned between the ears. After considerable work ne was removed and it was found I that he had one leg fractured and sev eral other severe bruises about the body. It is thought that he is also internally injured.

Monday, by George Doughty of Western avenue, announcing the death of his brother, Charles Doughty of Randolph, Mass. t The telegram gave no particulars concerning Mr. Doughty's death, but simply stated that information would follow later. The relatives of the de ceased have no minute details of his illness, Mr. Doughty being very reti cent concerning himself on account of his aged father, who is about SO years old and in feeble health. It is under stood that the deceased had been on i he decline for about a year and that about a month ago he suffered a slight shock, from the .effects of which it is presumed he died. His age was 4fi yea rs. Mr. Doughty came to this city Si years ago and entered the hat ness business with his brother George un der the linn name of Doughty Bros. This firm was the pioneer manufac turer of harnesses by machinery in New Kngland. The firm continued in business until about 12 years ago, when they dissolved partnership, and Charles erected the building now occupied by Taber, Carey Reid and entered the harness business on a larger scale, employing about 40 or uG hands. At the same time Mr. Doughty busied himself in electricity and estab lished himself in an electrical plant, furnishing light for merchants and pri vate families in Augusta. In this he was successful, as he was also in the harness business, but not having the opportunity for expansion its was his ambition, he moved both enterprises to Randolph, taking his help with him. This was about 10 years ago. In Randolph his business has been eminently successful from the outset. He erected a five-story building. lOOx .Tit) feet on the ground and his grow ing business has necessitated several additions to Mint. Both enterprise' have yielded large returns and Mr. Doughty is said to have accumulated considerable real estate. Mr. Doughty was a man of many peculiarities. llis sole ambition was directed to business enterprises and isr iiis business dealings he had an honor able reputation. He was always I,,cl and reticent in all bis affairs. In business, he was a tireless worker and his friends will say that his close ap plication was the cause of it's illness and death. As no particulars were given ir the telegram received, it is not known what disposition of his body will be made, but it is presumed the remains will be taken to Dexter. Me., where his fathet. Daniel C. Doughty, resides. His fa ther and brother George are the only survivors of the immediate family. He was unmarried. NATIONAL HOME. Samuel F. Oliver returneil to camp.

There is no other way and (he idea that a medicine in Itself can purify the blood or supply new tissues and strong nerves is ridiculous and on a par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia or indi gestion is a germ disease or that other fallacy, that a weak stomach which refuses to digest food can be made to do so by irritating and inllaming the bowels by pills and cathartics. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure in digestion. sour stomach, gas and blouting after meals, because they furnish the digestive principles which weak stomachs lack, an.1 unless the de ficiency of pepsin and diastase is sup plied it is useless to attempt to cure stomach trouble to the use of “tonics," “Pills" ami "cathartics" which have ab solutely no digestive power, and their only efT«»ct is to give a temporary stimulation. fine grain of the active principle In Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3000 grains ot meat, eggs and similar foods, ar.d experiments have shown that they will do this in a glass )>ottle at proper temperature, but of course are much more effective in the stom ach. There is probably no remedy so uni versally used as Stuart's Tablets be cause it is not only the sick and ailing, but well people who use them at every meal to insure perfect digestion and assimilation of the food. People who enjoy fair health take Stuart's Tablets as regularly as they take their meals, because they want to keep well, prevention is better than cure, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do both: they prevent indigestion ai.d they remove it where it exists. The regular use of one or two of them after meals will demonstrate their merit and efficiency better than any other argu ment. octl3-15-17 r STOVE A tabor saver—quick and easy shiner—polishes brightest, with out odor, dust or muss—up-to-date—it’s a sunshine!

City Government Takes Favorable Action in Regard to Taxes. Prospects Certain That Concern Will Benin Oerations by Dec. 1. It i? now practically settled that the Charles A. Eaton Co. will immediately come to this city and as soon as pos sible will begin the manufacture of shoes in the Augusta shoe factory building on Cage street. The commit tee to raise the necessary amount of money to put the building in condition for occupancy has made rapid progress und. last night, was able to report that the required sum is assured. A special meeting of the city govern ment was held, last evening, to take some action in regard to the matter of assisting the concern in the way of fire protection, and. on motion of Alderman Hlchborn of Ward 3, the following or der was unanimously adopted by both branches: "Ordered. That whereas the owners and operators of the Augusta shoe fac tory have offered to maintain a hose company of a number satisfactory to the mayor and chief engineer, who shall answer all alarms of tire within a ra dius of one-fourth mile front said fac tory. the city hereby agrees for a period of ID years from date, in consideration of such service, to pay such owners or orierators. annually, a sum equal to the whole amount assessed by said city for taxes uoon the real estate known as the Augusta shoe factory and upon all personal property which may be in or about said factory.” The order was passed after an ex tended discussion of an informal na ture bearing upon the project and the prospect ahead. The company is known to be one of the best in the trade and the fact that the itizens of Augusta hare succeeded in making a most satis factory arrangement with fso strong a concern is a matter of congratulation. One of the most prominent leather men in New England writes as follows concerning the (.'has. A. Eaton Co.: "I certainly feel that you could not possibly have gotten a better concern than this one anywhere in the shoe trade. For good business ability, methods of manufacture and produc tion of goods, the concern is as good as could be obtained anywhere in the United States, and any arrangement that you have made with the Charles A. Eaton Co. I feel absolutely certain tvM| be carried out to the letter.” The company manufactures one grade ot shoes for men. which retails for 12.50. and in doing yso it has built up a large and successful business. The object in coming to Augusta is to se cure facilities for a larger output than it is possible to produce at the present time. It is the earnest wish of the members of the concern to begin opera tions here at the earliest possible date and work the factory at its full capacity. The building is capable of accommodating 350 hands, and every particle of space will be used if the help ran be procured. That the opening of the Augusta shoe factory is but a question of a few weeks is now an assured fact. People in this vicinity who wish to work at the business will soon be given Ml oppor tunity to go to work. The action of the city government, last night, in practically exempting the company from taxation for a term of 1" years was taken without a dissent ing vote, after informal talks in favor of the proposition had been made by several members of both branches. If tile factory building can be put into shape by the first of December, operations will begin at that time, as the company's management is anxious to get to work as soon as it is possible to do so.

Some suffer torture from the very begin ning. the attack being so sudden, sharp and disastrous that they are made help less cripples in a few days, while others feel only occasional twitches of pain in the knees, ankles, elbows and wrists, or the muscles of the legs, arms, back or neck but this treacherous disease is only traveling by slower stages. The acid poisons are all the while accumulating in the blood, and muscles and joints are filling with corroding, acrid matter, and ight when the disease tightens its grip and strikes with full force, no constitu tion is strong enough to withstand its fear ful blows, and its vic tims are crippled and deformed.or literally worn out by constant pain.

Had Best of Fight Throughout and Won in Fifth. Buffalo. N. Y„ Oct. 14.—Joe Gans. the lightweight champion, had no trouble in disposing of Kid 'McPartland before the International Club at Fort Erie, Monday, knocking the New Yorker out after 2 minutes and 25 seconds of fighting in the fifth round. The blow that did the busi ness was a left hand honk to the pit of the stomach, the same blow with which McPartland has won many fights. Mc Partland writhed on the floor while Char lie White counted the 10 seconds, but a few seconds later he was fully recovered. Gans did not extend himself at any stage, although at times he showed flash es of his speed when the men came to close quarters. The black made MePart lnnd do the fighting, contenting himself with blocking and looking for a chance to land one decisive punch. He dropped Mac with a straight right to the jaw in the third round, but fhe Kid stayed through. McPartland did not land over eight solid blows during the entire time of the bout, Gans smothering most of his leads before they were fairly started. Gans worked no harder than he had to and Mac virtually fought himself out in the four full rounds fought. McPartland was not in the best of con dition. Gans was in magnificent shape. Both weighed under 135 pounds. The bet ting was five to two and three to one on Gans and even money that McPartland would not last eight rounds. The attend ance was about 2000. In the preliminary, Herman Miller. Gans' sparring partner, lost to Warren Zurbrick. an unbeaten local boxer, in sev en rounds. Twelve Rounds to a Draw.

Oct. 14.—Supplying coal to the poor of Boston at a reasonable price has been the chief consideration of the relief committee recently appointed by Mayor Collins, and it has reached a plan.

People I may depend on full weight and a fair price and on such quality as the coal I di alers have at the time. As the season goes on the dealers hope and expect to give better quality of coal and at lower prices. "The committee remind people that throughout most of our country anthra cite or hard coat Is never used, but only the bituminous or soft coal, such as will be sold to our citizens.” The British bark Stewiacke.

He left this city a week ago last Saturday, and in the meantime he has visited the capital of the nation and many of the battlefields of the South. He saw the place where his regiment was camped during the Civil War. It was in front of Fred ericksburg. The places were familiar to him. and apparently no changes had taken place since those days iof nearly 411 years ago, so far as he could see. The owners of the Augusta house, the Augusta Heal Kstate Association, have authorized Landlord Henry E. Capen to go ahead and make some necessary repairs. The parlor is being re-deco rated. the office is to be brushed up and some important improvements are to be made in the kitchen and laundry branches of the hotel. The indications are that the house will do a larger busi ness this year than it has done during the past three or four Legislative ses sions. as more rooms are now engaged for the season than were taken at the beginning of some former sessions. As usual the millinery opening on Tuesday, at the F. H. Butler branch store was well attended and Mrs. M. L. Wheeler, the manager, may con gratulate herself and the firm on the continuance of the gratifying success that has attended her ef foits in this business ever since she assumed the management. No time, expense or effort was made at elaborate decorations, but the beauti ful specimens of the very latest styles iri trimmed hats showed that the ar tistic skill and labor had been well di rected to captivate customers and se cure a long list of orders.

Site for the Maine Building at the Ex position Selected. Four of the commissioners to the St. Louis exposition from Maine have been to that city and returned. The object ot' this visit was to accent the site for the Maine building which was allotted tr the management of the fair. Lemubl S. Lane of Westbrook, one of the commissioners, is enthusiastic over the prospects of a good opporiun ity for Maine to advertise herself at this coming great World's fair. He says that the lot assigned to this State is one of the best locations on the grounds. It is on a hill, surrounded with trees, overlooking the grounds, and near one of the entrance to the park. Mr. Lane thinks that if the Maine commissioners had been given the opportunity to choose the location of their building they would no: have cared for one better than that assigned bv the managers. "It is the purpose of the commission ers." said Mr. Lane, "to make special effort to advertise Maine as a great playground for the nation, and to bring to the attention of all the people who shall visit the exposition the great adaptability of the State as vacation territory. The effort is being made by many influences in the West to divert the summer traffic into northwestern fields. It is the opportunity of a life time for the Stale of Maine to show the people who have no idea what we have in Maine, its resources in that direc tion. The Maine building, according to the plans of the commissioners, will be a sporting camp about 50 to 70 feet and two stories high. This is to be con structed of spruce logs and taken to St. Louis. A log cabin, attended by guides, and containing the full equipment of a sporting camp, cannot fail to attract the western exhibitors to the exhibi tion. It is hoped to make the cabin and its furnishings sufficiently elabor ate to cost $10,000 or $12,000. Litera ture pertaining to the State and its va cation advantages will be distributed to all comers. One of the propositions is to issue a book which will give a write-up of Maine from a vacation point of view, elaborately illustrated, and containing a list of all the sporting places, as well as the towns where sum mer boarders are taken, with careful explanations of the routes to be taken to reach each place.” Mr. l-ane says mac me mur wnums sinners, who were present, including; besides himself, L. B. Goodall of San ford. Hon. C. Burrill of Ellsworth and Hon. H. W. Sargent of Sedgwick, left with the impression strong u;*on them that this is an opportunity for the good of Maine that the State cannot afford to lose. The plan does not con template a scheme for the advancement of any particular business or industry, but will be a great help to every inter est within the State. The fair is to be tremendous in size. Mr. Bane says that the purpose of the managers is to make U a bigger attraction than the Chica go. Buffalo and Paris fairs combined, and he has no doubt that they will suc ceed in that respect. When the lots were assigned there were formal presentation exercises. Each lot was marked off and over it waved the national flag, and the flag of the state to which the lot was going, tine of the managers made a presenta tion speech, which included the use of the lot. and the state flag, and response was made by the chairman of the state delegation. This duty fell upon Mi. Goodall for Maine, and he made a fine impression in his response, so much so that at the banquet given in the eve ning for the visiting commissioners oy the Business Men s League, he was rhosen to respond to the sentiment, -The East at the World’s Fair, and here again he did credit to himself and the State. Socially the commissioners were also made much of. The father of the wife of Governor Hill of this State was particularly kind in his at tent'ons to !he Maine delegation They also received attention from Mrs. Pat icrson. who was formerly Miss Auce Wild of Portland, from a Mr. Cobb who is a relative to Hon. W ^f Rockland, and many others who hailed from Maine. Mr Lane says he hopes the .egisla ture will be liberal in Its irbmpria ons for th- exhibition purposes this whiter Some of the states have al SSffiS SU$10o!m<h Texas". $piO 000 and Illinois. *250.000 being ex amples of the way the Idea is taking in the South and West. a, soon as the coal strike is settled the PH^ of wood will drop.

There is only one wav to cure deafness, and that Is liy constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Kustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed. Deaf ness is the result, and unless the inflam mation can be taken out and this tube re stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous services.
