HOW WILL IT WORK2

The clipper Lansford Record has this to
say of the president judgship, in an interest
ing article bearing on the outlook of Demo-
cratic politics in Carbon county.
For President Judge the present occupant,
Mr.. Dreher, is in the field, and hot fight will
be made to give him another lease of ten years.
While the nomination is supposed to be decided
by the conferrees elected by Carbon and Monroe
counties, the principal tussel will be in Carbon,
where Major Klotz VIII make the last great
battle of his life to give Judge Dreher another
term. Why he fights so hard for man from
another county, when talent is at home, the
political noyices can't comprehend. But know
ing once attribute 1t to an understanding that
dates back several years, and which effects the
congressional nomination. That an under
standing was arrived at between Klotz and
Dreher cannot be denied Klotz's far-seeing
policy was partly unfolded when last year he
came out for Allen Craig for Congress. II it
was simplya question between Craig and Con
gress on its merits, Klotz would hardly be for
Craig. He has not been in the past, and Patrick
Henry said the only way to Judge the future is
by the past
The real Democratic rank and file of Carbon
will fight under the home flag, believing 1t is
time Carbon stopped playing second fiddle to
Monroe county, which, by the way, has monopo-
lzed the joint offices for years. 1t has held the
Judgeship for for twenty years, the Congress
man for eight, and holds the present State
Senatorships All this in face of the fact that
Carbon has double the vote of Monroe
On the Judgeship the Dreher party know they
cannot carry Carbon against home man, but
Monroe may stand by Drsher, and in the event
OF tive candidates being in the field Dreher's
friends hope to so manipulate the Republican
party OF Carbon as to obtain an endorsement.
With that he would go into the field. That the
Republicans viii be caught In the trap many of
the party workers outside of Mauch Chunk re-
fuse to believe. In tho event of a Democratic
night they believe their party will fare best by
keeping hands of. At this date that is the real
position on the Democratic Judgeship for 1890,

the WORCESTER TRAGEDY.
What Is Said of Miss Kindgrew by
Portland Friends.

The name of the young Swedish woman,
mentioned in yesterdays PRESS as having
been shot by Lindstrom at Worcester, Mass,
was incorrectly given in the dispatches as
Schinkle. The girls name is Emile Kind
grew. About a year ago, as has been stated
she came to this country from Sweden on
money sent to her by Lindstrom, who 1t ap-
pears had become violently attached to her,
although she did not reciprocate the atfec-
tion. The rest of the story, as told by those
who knew her in Portland, is this:
After landing in this country Miss Kind
grew went to live with daughter OF Mr.. l..
F. Dyer of Portland. who resides in Worces-
ter. She was very capable and intelligent,
and was much liked by her employer. She
used to see Lindstrom, while she lived in
Worcester, occasionally, and had told him
that there was no chance Of marriage be-
tween them. as she was not In love with him
and that she should pay the money back
which he had advanced to her as quickly as
she earned 1t. r..
Finding that persuasion was useless, Lind
strom attempted threats. Then Miss Kind
grew became frightened, and her employer
gave her letters of recommendation to Mr..
l.. F. Dyer, at Woodlawn, Forest avenue,
and she arrived here in the fall, residing
with Mr.. Dyer's family ever since, where
she was much liked and appreciated. Dur
ing the winter she received from Lindstrom
several letters threatening her with death IL
she did not reconsider her determination and
decidelto marry him.So frightened was she by
these letters that at nightfall she frequently
got excused from answering the door-bell
for fear Of trouble from Lindstrom, think
ing he might come from Worcester to shoot
her.
Last Thursday she concluded, from a let
ter sent to her, that Lindstrom had decided
to accept her refusal to become his wife, and
therefore she went to Worcester to Mrs.
Olsen's, the lady she lived with when resi-
dent of that city, carrying with her the
money to repay all obligations to him. Fri
day she met Lindstrom on the street, and he
asked her if she would marry him. to be
met with refusal. 81 have come" she said,
'to Worcester to repay you all the money /
owe, and If you will come to see me, or tell
me where to come to see you, win bring the
money and pay you" he told her to come to
his boarding house Saturday. She went to
the appointed place, carried the $50 she
owed him, and saw Lindstrom in the pres
ence of others in the parlor of the boarding
house. Lindstrom asked the people to step
out moment while he talked with Miss
Kindgrew about ticket. They had hardly
left the room when two reports of a revolver
were heard, and the circumstances OF the
shooting occurred as published yesterday.
| Miss Kindgrew and Lindstrom both came
| from the same town, Ancarsum. She is a
handsome brunette, with black brows and
| eyes, quite plump, of medium height, and
| will weigh about 100 pounds. 1t is thought
she will recover. Her habits have been of
the best, and she is much liked by the
friends she has made during her residence in
this city.
