Mr. Parker, ladies and gentlemen: I nm very glad to meet ut my home this renresentative delegation Irom Wood count v. I cannot imagine a body of citizens more representative than that which I see belore me to day men ana women, old and young, workingmen and farmers, men of every profession and 'calling in your county and indicates to me that no matter what may be asserted in other quarters of the country, there is no such thing known as "classes" in Wood county. (Great applause and cries of "That's 1 am especially glad to make suitable recognition of the women who have honored me with their presence to day. (Cheers).

They, are a mighty factor in our progress and civilization, and they have been most potential in every crisis of American history. (Renewed cheering). I nm glad to know that they are interested in the party ol good morals, good politics, good government and public nud private honesty. 1 Great applause). The presence of this body ot young men who are to vole for the lirst time next November is to me nu inspiring sight, and that you are soon to enjoy the priceless privilege of citizenship must be to all of you an inspiring thought.

For 21 years you have been enjoying our free institutions, the protection and op portunity of our laws, without any political power or responsibility. You are soon to assume your share of government and bear your share of duty aud responsibility. I wonder as I look into your faces whether you fully appreciate the privilege mid honor which you are so soon to have. I fear sometimes that few of ns estiniatc Hutfragc at its true worth. It clothes us with sovereignty.

It is a guaranty to our liberties and institutions and is our surest safety. It is the constitutional mode of expressing the popular will. Through it public policies re determined and public laws enacted. Through it administrations ore changed and administrations are made. Through it our whole governmental machinery is conducted.

It is, indeed, a priceless in Vieritnnce and should be valued as such Ly every young man. With the privilege comes grave responsibilities in its vise. It should express the intelligence and judgment aud conlidence of the voter. It should never be employed for ny base use. It should be exercised with courage, wisdom and patriotism It Bhonld never, no never, be thrown against the country and should never represent public dishonor.

(Great applause). I recall, young men, my first vote. With what a thrill of pride I exercised for the first time, the full prerogative of citizenship. I have not realized greater pride since. I felt that 1 had some part in the Government.

The period aud circumstances when I cast my first vote may have had a deeper impression upon me than it otherwise would, but I recall it now alter 32 years with sensations of joy nud satisfaction. (Applause). In the crisis of war, on the very field of conflict, my lirst vote was cast for Abraham Lincoln. (Great cheering). It is to me priceless memory.

What a glorious privilege to have been permitted to vote for a candidate for President whose services to his country in the greatest peril of its life ranks with the services of Washington, the Father ol hisCouuiry. Priceless memory to me that 1 could vole for the martyr to liberty, the'emancipa tor of a race and the saviour of the only free government among men. (Great cheering. You, gentlemen, did not have that privilege, but it having been denied you there will be some satisfaction to you to vote for the party of Lincoln, which rallied the young men of the country around the banner of liberty, union and national honor, between 1800 and 'bV, (Applause) aud now summons you under the same glorious banner. (Renewed npplause).

I cannot omit here to make a quotation from Mr. Lincoln, written to the young men of Illinois, on June 22, 1818. Mr. Lincoln said: "Now, as to the young men. You most not wait to be lirought forward by the older men.

You young meu get together, form a rough siud ready club and have regular meetings and speeches. Take in everybody you can get. As you go along gather up all the shrewd, wild boys about town, whether just of age or a little under age. Let every one play the part he can play best. Some speak, some sing and all holler.

(Great laughter and applause), your meeting will be of evenings. The older men and women will goto hear you and see you. It will not only contribute to the election of old Hack, but it will 1e interesting pastime and improving to the intellectual faculties of all engaged. Do not fail to do this." (Great applause). I commend these homely words of Mr.

Lincoln to the young men of the country. Such organization as he advises will have powerful influence in the poll iticnl contest which is now upon us. They will not only enthuse the young mien, but will cheer tbe hearts ot the old guards of tho Republican party. (Applause). It is seldom given to the fust voters of this country to start in such an important national contest where so innch is involved and where so inaDy interests are at stake.

It is a year, too, wheo old party divisions count for little; when wen of all parties are united in the common object to save the country J'rom dishonor and its currency from negotiation. It is always safe, young gentlemen, to array yourselves on the side of your country. (Applause). It is airways wise to stand against lawlessness repudiation. (Renewed applause).

Jt is always patriotic to stand against Continued on Fourth Page.) AGREED ON A SYSTEM, READING IN A FAIR WAY OF GETTING A GARBAGE CREMATORY.

Tom Murray fa lying at St. Joseph's hospital, sullering Irom many wounds, ilicster Ronca and diaries Itrown occupy cells at the station houso charged witli an oggravted assault and battery. It was shortly alter 0 o'clock last even ing, according to the statements of eye witnesses, when Ronca and Brown started to thrash Murray in the eight foot alleyway off of Cherry street near Filth, and opposite the stables ol Clous Silvis. It was a few moments later when several small hoys came running and got out on North River street, elud mg their pursuers.

Tlicy next started down tbe rnilroiul truck, when Otlleer Hetherinirton siizhtcd them nnd took them in tow. In the chnse Sergeant Weidel tripped upon a stone and was shrown heavily to the ground, inflicting a gash in Ins knee cap and cutting his trousers. He is disabled from duty and is conlined in the house. Murray lay in a laruenool of blood un conscious in the alley way. lie presented an awful spectacle.

His nose was broken in, his left cheek bone broken, a six inch scalp wound laid bare his head and both eyes were closed. 1 he allair created mtense excitement and a large crowd gathered. A number joined in the chase and followed the pa trol wagon as the prisoners were taken into police station. Last night when Sergeant Ltzel went to St. Joseph's hospital to secure a state ment from Murray, tbe resident physi' ci an led him to his bedside.

He was unconscious and had been unable to speak since the affray. Wood was oozing Irom his mouth nud it cannot be deter mined until this morning whether he has serious internal injuries or the blood is from another source. Tlie left optic is also injured, and the sight may be lost. William Stout, a stableman, who was an eye witness, said at ixilice station last night: "I heard Ronca say after Brown had thrashed Murray, 'Now let me have a chance at him, and I'll do him up to the queen's taste. He'll be white when I get through with Murray was already only able to raise himself up when lionca started in on mm After the serious condition ot Murray was ascertained last night the two pris oners were locked in separate cells.

Rouca was talkative and said: "I didn't know the man. He brought this trouble on himself. He called me a plug, and 1 let him have it. Imok at my band. He must have cut me with a knii'e." The wound on Rouen's knuckles were caused by him hitting the fallen man.

they being merely scratches. On both prisoners knives were found, but neither had used them. Rouca has an unsavory criminal record. Two weeks ago he was released from a sentence in jail for assaulting ex Police man Jlebncr. Alderman Kirsclimann later the evening issued a warrant charging Ronca and Brown with aggra vated assault with intent to kill, on oath of Thomas Murray aud they were com 1 1 tea tojaii.

R. 01 Mort Interesting Chanters in the Ul.tnry of American Hallroads From Pro.perlty to llntikruplcy A (Jinnee Hackwarils. The events which led up to the present Receivership, the third, aud, it is to be honed, the lust, lorm one ol I he most Interesting chapters In the history of American railroads.

Never before had the plunge from loudly acclaimed prosperity to utter bankruptcy been so rnpidly taken: never the blow to londly cherished hope nnd lust ripening ambi tion alike so sudden and so severe. To properly understand the underly ing cuuses of the great crash which took placo February 2(1, it is necessary to glance buck still lurtlier to tlio period long looked upou us a corporatu gaged in a well uigh hopeless strnggle against the adverse conditions which mismanagement in its earlier hiatory bad forced it to meet. The representative of the interests which united to effect this great combi nation was Archibald Angus McLeod, who for a little less than two years had been nbly fulfilling the duties of prcsi dent of the Reeding railroad. Back of him and working with him were the great banking houses ol Drexel iV ol Phila delphia, and Drexel, Morgan of New York. Among tho other prominent capitalists concerned iu the deal was John Lowber Welsh, a member of the Reading Voting Trust, who from that time forward took an active interest in the company's affairs, and who.

was looked upon as President McLcod's chief adviser. With tho terms under which the Read ing secured the Lehigh alley and the Jersey Central the public has long bei laminar. he combination was lormcd with a view to so controlling the antliia thracite coal trade that the elimiuutiou of competition und the consequent abil ity to raise prices and restrict production at will would result in greatly increased profit to tlie three companies concerned. The public announcement of tbo deal was the signal for a tremendous advance in the market value of the securities of not only the Reading, but the other al lied coriiorations ns well. The stock of the Reading company sold that day for $35 a share, which was the highest price lor many years preceding nud which it lias never since touched.

While the formation of the coal com bination was hailed with jov by the owners of Reading securities, it antagon ized the public at large. The attempt to control the price of one of the chief necessities of life was viewed with alarm in many quarters, and the combination wns nt once assailed ou all sides as ille gal and contrary to public policy. So great indeed was the public outcry that the Governors, Legislatures and courts of three Slates Pennsylvania, New Jer sey and New York were finally forced to take ollicial cognizance of it, nnd before tho year was ended Chancellor Me Gill, of New Jersey, had rendered a de cision in one oi the many suits brought, ns a result ot winch the lease of tho Jer sey central terminated and tiiat com pany resumed independent operations.
