Mr. John Hoffman, the Well-Known Jeweler, is Married for the Second Time to His Wife. Truth Saturday. Diana the 15th of April, 1885, John Hoffman, aft the well-known Dunmore jeweler, was married to his deceased wife's sister. The ceremony was performed in Pittston by the Very Rev.

Father Finnen, and Mr. Hoffman's domestic life was 88 calm as a Summer's day. Some of his wife's relations, however, were not disposed to regard bis matrimonial venture with favor, and they interested themselves in his affairs in a way that Mr. Hoff man did not relish, considering that he felt it to be none of their business. In order that there should be no room for question in regard to a marriage to a wife's sister and that there should be no unkind rumors afloat, Mr.

Hoffman resolved on having his union receive the sanction of the highest church authority in the Scranton diocese, and accordingly procured 8 dispensation from the Right Rev. Bishop O'Hara to bave the ceremony repeated. Armed with this authority he proceeded to the residence of the Very Rev. Father Finnen: at Pittston this morning, in company with his wife, and they were married once more, the same wedding ring that was used in the first ceremony, being employed for the second time in the same manner. Father Finnen had received the necessary authority for this ceremony.

The wedding being over, Mr. Hoffman and his bride returned to Scranton and proceeded to their residence in Danmore on their wedding tour. They seemed as happy as a pair of turtle doves, and Mr. Hoffman told a reporter for the Truth that he was bound to be married properly if it took a hundred ceremonies to make himself and his wife content. He is one of the happiest men in Lackawanna county to-day.

THE DREAD DISEASE. Typhoid's Ravages in Indiana--Fifty Cases in One Town.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. fever is alarmingly prevalent in Indiana, and it does not seem to be confined to any particular locality. The state health board have received word that there were forty or fifty cases in the little town of Milton, Wayne county, and sent a doctor to investigate the matter. In Milton there are only surface wells, few of them deeper than twenty-five feet, and the people have become SO alarmed that they are boiling water before they drink it. In Elkhart twenty-eight cases of typhoid fever were reported during the last quarter.

There are many cases in Johnson and Morgan counties and in nearly every part of the state. Physicians think that it is largely due to impure water, as the long continued draught of last summer caused the pure water supply to fall short. Wells have gone dry in a great many cases, and down in the "pocket," especially in Warrick county. The people are 25 and 30 cents a barrel for water. In Indianapolis typhoid fever is more prevalent than usual, The United Labor Party's 50,000 Votes.

CONDITION OF COMMERCE SHOWN BY FACTS AND FIGURES. A Large Volume of Business Occasions No Advance in Prices--Western Failures. Low Transportation Compared with Last Year, NEW YORK, Nov. 5. -Notwithstanding slow collections in many quarters, and some failures of unpleasant significance, the prevalent feeling is that the most serious points of danger have been weathered and that trade and industries have been warned in season to check unsafe expansion.

The volume of business continues large, whether judged by reports from many centers, by bank exchanges, outside do of New York (which exceed last year's by about 13 per or by railroad tonnage, which results in an increase of about 12 per cent. over last year in reported earnings. In spite of an increase of $18,000,000 in the currency in circulation during October, following the increase of $34,000,000 in September, prices do not advance much. Stocks, after some days of recovery, show hesitation again, with evidence that some foreign holders are realizing. Wheat has declined about 1c.

for the week: corn, oats, coffee and lard, each, and cotton 1-16, while beef falls to an average of $4.15 and hogs are 10c, lower. Oil has been lifted 3c. by combination to shut down, sugar a shade by reports regarding the trust, and tin and copper by speculative operations in the nature of "corners." Wool is still in buyers' favor; the government report states the year's production at 285,000,000 pounds, but imports are large, and tariff revision is expected by many to make coarse wool free. A borax taust is expected to raise prices; off in demand lacking in tea and rice are contradictory; buyers hold reports, irregular ir coffee, and spice dealers require patience. In general, better prices appear only where there are effective trade combinations.

Long hesitation in the steel rail market is broken by lower prices, sales for Nortwestern and New England delivery having been made 011 the basis of $32 at Pig iron is weaker at Pittsburg, and of No. 1 mallons southern at $20 are reported here. Bari is not so strong, the architectural demand slackens, and nails are dull; the signs indicate some shrinkage in consumption, just when new works are about to increase the output largely. Nor is improvement seen in the woolen manufacture; the demand continues lighter than has been expected, and auctions of light weight goods and hosiery occupy attention. A lumber failure in Wisconsin, dragging down a St.

Paul bank; some cattle failures in the northwest, perceptibly affecting business, and the sudden cessation of activity in real estate in soma quarters where large amounts of, paper are outstanding, are signs which justify prudence. There is some complaint of slow collections at most western points, and of labor troubles at New Orleans, Money is still rather close at Detroit and Kansas City, but at most points easier or in ample supply, though collections are inconveniently slow at some places where currency is abundant. Both eastern and western manufacturers, in many branches, find demand less than was expected, and alike in eastern and western cities narrow profits in trade are reported. Interstate decisions tend toward lower rates for transportation, trunk steadily, lines have agreed upon uniform export rates by different routes and through different Atlantic ports. The large increase in railroad expenses keeps pace, in numerous instances, with the past increase in earnings.

Foreign imports for the past two weeks show an increase of over 10 per and exports from New York a decrease of per compared with last year, The treasury has taken in $1,800,000 gold during the past week, but put out $2,200,000 silver and legal tenders, increasing its deposits in banks $2,100,000, Funds are coming hither from Boston, but western and southern exchanges still indicate some movement of currency to those sections, The business failures for the past week are, 225 for the United States and 20 for Canada. Last week there was a total of 201, The corresponding week last year there were 186, Excitement Over a Monument. GREENVILLE, Nov. -There is considerable excitement at Jamestown, this county, over the attempt of one of the late Dr. Gibson's heirs to sell his monument.

Dr. Gibson is the celebrated doctor of Mark Twain's "Innocence Abroad." He died last spring, leaving an estate valued at $275,000, while his who survives him, is said to be worth as much in her own right. About three weeks before his death he destroyed his will. The brothers and sisters therefore come in for part of the estate. One of these sisters was unfriendly to Dr.

Gibson. Her son is now endeavoring to have the monument sold and the proceeds divided with the rest of the estate. The monument was built about two years before Dr. Gibson's death, at a cost of over $60,000, The vault is so made that it can be unlocked only twice, once for the doctor's body and once for his wife's. Forced to Liquidate.

MONTREAL, Nov. 5. Some few years ago Henri Cote, cashier of Jacques Cartier bank, got a loan of $28,000 from the City and District Savings bank. Cote was afterward sent to the penitentiary for making fraudulent returns. The Jacques Cartier bank asserted that the loan was a personal one to Cote and the superior court maintained that view.

This decision was reversed by the court of appeals, but, by a cable dispatch received to-day, it is learned that the judicial committee of the privy council has condemned the Jacques Cartier bank to pay the $28,000, with about twelve years' interest at 6 per cent. A Fatal Stabbing. CLEVELAND, Nov. Austin, a farmer in Dower township, about nine miles from this city, was killed last night by his brother-in-law, Murray Higgins, Higgins chased his wife, who is Austin's sister, out of the house at midnight, and Austin, hearing screams, ran to her assistance. Higgins stabbed him in the abdomen with a pocket knife, inflicting a wound from which Austin died shortly afterward.

Higgins is under arrest. The murderer lost a young child recently, and it is claimed that he has been demented since. The best Sherry, Port and Rhine Wines Harry Leim's. SEARCH FOR A CORPSE IT IS FINALLY FOUND IN THE POOR HOUSE CEMETERY. A Sister Comes to Wilkes Barre to Visit Her Brother and is Horrified to Find He Has Been Killed--The Body Found After a Long Search.

Readers of the DEALER will remember that about three weeks ago a man named Packer, hailing from Susquehanna county, was instantly killed at the stone quarry, back of the Baltimore breaker, and only a short distance from Mountain Park. He was employed as a teamster and was killed by being struck on the head by a monster stone that war being hoisted on his wagon. An inquest was held on the body anda man named Heck promised to send the remains to Susquehanna county for interment. The body WAS shipped away from WilkesBarre and the matter was there, as all supposed that it was properly interred at the home of the deceased. Great was the eurprise last week when a sister of Packer's reached Wilkes- Barre and made inquires about her brother who, she said, had come here to visit and to ascertain the reason he had failed to write home for the past three weeks.

She was unable to find him and no one knew where he was. She was not easily discouraged and kept up the search for several days. She stated that her brother wrote a letter every week to his mother, in Surquehanna county. Three weeks ago his letters ceased coming and the mother was greatly worried and urged her (the daughter) to come here and find out what was the cause of the delay. On Friday night she accidentaily came across the first traces of her brother and' was horrified to learn that he had been killed three weeks ago, Persons acquainted with the matter were greatly surprised when the griefstricken sister stated that the body of her brother had not been sent bome and that she and her mother bad not even been notified of his death.

Inquiries were made as to the disposition of the body, but its whereabouts could not at first be found and the general supposition was that it had been sold to some medical student or college. Coal and Iron Policeman Finch heard of the matter, interested himself in the case and assisted the sister in the search for the body, The officer left no stone unturned and at last succeeded in learning that Heck had not the body to Susquehanna county, but that it had been turned over to the poor authorities, who took it to the Central Poor Farm, at Retreat, below Nanticoke, and interred it in the pauper's cemetery. On Saturday the Poor Directors were spoken to about the matter and it was agreed that the body should be disinterred and taken to Susquehanna county by the sister. The body will be removed as soon as possible, ALL INDICTED. Not Only Orr but Aul, Dolan and Bogert.

The Leader of yesterday gave further indication of its malice towards Mr. Orr, of Orr's Fair in a column or more of trash, largely devoted to insinuations and covert threats against Mr. Orr and to puffs of this man Clark or Cribs, as they have discovered his real name to, be. The grand jury hasdone jast what Mr. Orr wanted and asked them to do, found an indictment against him and enabled him to go into the court and have these vile slanders against him thoroughly ventilated and his character cleared from the slightest suspicion, Mr.

Bogert says in his paper that Mr. Orr to boost his cause, and here Mr. Freas Bogert has ted" the Record and News DEALER falls into the error of measuring his neighbor's corn in his own measure. The NEWSDEALER cannot be "hired" by anyone, and we well know that the Record is far above any such suspicion. The NEWS-DEALER and Record have been on Mr.

Orr's side because they have seen that he has been hounded by a set of unscrupulous and vindictive men among whom the unlicked whelp who now runs the late J. K. Bogert's paper is not the least prominent. According to Dolan's own testimony Freas Bogert is one of the gang and played "detective" with them on several occasions when they sought to induce young Baker to swear against Mr. Orr.

The Leader's present tirade is on the same footing es the one published on February 13, which WAR characterized by Inspector Byrnes, of New York, U. S. Commissioner Hahn, and Chief of Police Myers, who were introduced in it as being totally false, and for the publication of which Freas Bogert is nOW under indictment for criminal libel. The insurance companies we are told, let the cases in New York go by default to get at Mr. Orr's evidence.

But Judge Barret and 12 good men said that Orr's witnesses told the truth and did not leave the companies leg to stand on, and now the insurance companies are fighting for delay. They have asked the court to appoint a commissioner to come up to Wilkes- Barre and take the testimoney of Herbert, Dolan and Reid, but when they had these men in New York they dare pot ut one on the stand. Such methods are not resorted to by honorable litigants who have confidence in their own cause. A Great Paper. Yesterday's SUNDAY NEWS DEALER WAS the brightest and most interesting paper ever published in this city and was read by thousands from end to end of the valley.

It was filled with well written articles specially prepared for that issue, on local topics. In this city alone over 4,000 copies were sold. Several of the articles are reproduced in this issue and will prove interesting reading to such as did not see yesterday's paper. Jeweler Dizard in Trouble. A day or so ago Leonard Dizard, the jeweler on East Market street, near Canal, was arrested upon the charge false pretense.

The prosecntor was Max Lowy, Dizard was given a hearing before Alderman Rooney and held for trial at court. The evidence was to the effect that Lowy is an agent for jewelery and matches. He visited Dizard and sold him a bill of goods, but not before Dizard had stated that he owned the property where he was doing business. Lowy afterwards learned that the property belonged Herman Zeterberg. He then bad Dizard arrested for false pretense.

The Grand Jury found a true bill against Dizard on Saturday. VOTE FOR JOHN SMOULTER, JR, THE BOARD OF TRADE Meeting Called to Receive the Reorganization Committee's Report. The following call for a meeting of the Board of Trade has been issued: A meeting of the Wilkes- Barre Board of Trade will be held at their rooms over Brown's book store, on Wednesday evening. November 9, at 7:80 o'clock, to receive and act on the report of the Reorganization Committee. All old members, all who have given their names to the committee and all others who become members, are requested to be present.

G. MURRAY REYNOLDS, President. The Reorganization Committee, which was appointed at the special meeting of the Board held on the 19th of last month, has proceeded upon the understanding that every business and professional man, every erty holder, every man who has any stake whatever the prosperity Wilkes- Barre should be a member of the Board of Trade and contributor, in proportion to his means, to the fund necessary to the prosecation of the business upon business principles and in a vigorous manner. Thus believing the committee has made as thorough a canvass of the city as the opportunities of its will be members ready to would report permit. The Wedneaday committee evening, and the results of its labors will be found, upon that occasion, to be very gratifying to every citizen believes that the city should keep pace with the times.

The list of members has been added to until it aggregates nearly 300, and, though that number, at the low membership fee prescribed, will not realize a sufficient sum for the purpose of the Board, a number of the wealthier and more liberal have given quite generous subscriptions in addition, and the success of the new move has been placed beyond the pale of doubt. The old Board did the city no little service, and the new, by retaining all that was good in the old, pursuing new methods, based upon its experience, will do much more. The sympathy and interest of men who give their best energies to whatever undertaking they engage in have been enlisted, and there hus gone out among the whole people a better understand ing and appreciation of the value of such an organization than ever before existed. NEWs DEALER reporters find evidences of this in all directions and collating that fact with the further fact that prospects for the establishment of at least two new factories here are already under consideration by gentlemen of the committee, shows that the outlook for the reorganized Board and the industrial. in terests of the city are very is that the meeting called in the above notice will be fully attended.

IN A NEW ROLE. STEAM HOPKINS AND HIS GANG A8 CONSPIRATORS. They Attempt to Coerce Philip Weiss With Threats of Criminal ProsecutienTheir Arrest to Follow This Morning. The leaders of the bogus "land and labor" party now realize that their scheme is fros trated and that they have been shown up to the people of this county in their true light. They have become desperate and are resorting to desperate measures.

The interview with Mr. Weiss published in the SUNDAY NEWS DEALER, and his card exposing their schemes, put the finishing touch to their discomfiture and rendered wild with the sense of their defeat. Yesterday afternoon Steam Hopkins called Mr. Weiss into Dr. J.

J. Smith's office which is under the same roof as Mr. Weiss' Dr. Smith was present. Hopkins then hotel.

duced a paper which he had drawn up and demanded that Mr. Weiss sign it. This paper, in substance, denied the authorship of the cards published by Mr. Weiss in the Leader and NEWS DEALER, stared that he was still 8 candidate on the "Land and Labor" ticket, and spoke of Steam Hopkins and his gang as honorable and conscientious men. Mr.

Weiss indignantly refused to any such paper. you shall sign that paper," cried out Hopkins. "If you do not sign I will ruin and your family for ever. I will have you arrested for violating the liquor you I will have your license taken away and put you io Mr. Weiss could not restrain his anger and indignation He prong to his feet and in the strongest kind of denounced Hopkins and Smith as scoundrels and blackmailers and defied them to do worst.

He approached Hopkins and his fist their, under his nose, The man of many bloods ran in terror behind a table and thrusting hihand into his hip pocket swore he would send "five bullets" through Mr. Weiss if he came any nearer. Mr. Weiss again denounced them in no measured terms, and left them with a defiance to do their worst. Last evening Dr.

Smith again spoke to Mr. Weiss and asked him to sign the paper. He said they had prepared an article that would ruin Mr. Weiss and his family and that it would be published in this morning's Record, bat he offered to go up to that paper and have it stopped if Mr. Weiss would only sign the paper.

Mr. Weiss indignantly refused to have anything to do with them. Last evening he declared his intention of having warrants issued for the arrest of Hopkins and Dr. Smith on a charge of conspiracy. VOTE FOR JOHN SMOULTER, Ju.

"THE WORKINGMAN'S FRIEND." Sermon by Rev. Frederick Gwynne, of the Puritan Church. Rev. Frederick Gwynns, pastor of the Paritan church, preached to a large congregation last evening, taking for his subject "The Workingman's The reverend speaker quoting from. Mark 2: 27, 28, said the Sabbath was for man and not man for the Sabbath.

What is the sweetest word in the English vocabulary Some will say father and mother; others home and heaven. But what consolation would these sweet words be to us if it were mot for the holy Sabbath. Does not the word Sabbath sound -sweet Yes, it does: it is the day that moulds the character and develops those endearments which are dear to us. As workingmen we cannot afford to lose sight of the Lord's day. As a day of rest it is necessary for our physical well being.

Six hundred and forty -one physicians in London have testified that the workingman can do better work in six days if he rests on the seventh. We must observe the whole day, not part of it. Again I say, defend the Sabbath. If the workingmen must labor seven days in the week, then disease, decay and death will follow. Corporations who ask their employes to work seven days in the week are the enemies of the workingmen.

The bulwarks of our nation do not consist of a large stand ing army and a gigantic navy, but these three things-home, church and Sabbath. Allow the Personal Liberty League to triumph over these and the peace, home and even the soul of the workingman is placed in jeopardy. Workingmen America stand by the sabbath I beseech you.
