Hon. B. S. Collins of Dushore is
candidate for Senator of this dis
trict, subject to the decision of the
Democratic Convention. That he
is worthy Of the honor there is no
question and 1t is presumed that he
will have but little trouble in secur-
ing the Sullivan county nomination.
At the district convention which
will probably be held in Blooms
burg, the fight will be interesting,
however; Bryan stands equally as
good chance of securing the nomina-
ton there as either of his opponents.
We wish him success.

The parents Of little Annie Ulrich,
of Freeland have for three years
mourned in suspense her disappear
ance on Decoration Day, 1887. On
that date she, with other children
was watching the parade of veterans
when she suddenly disappeared.
Though the search was continued
for weeks no trace of her could be
found.
Wednesday, however. the mystery
of the missing child was solved.
Alvin Rohrbach, while crossing the
mountain at Upper Lehigh, found
among the rocks the remains of the
child's form, only the bleached
bones and a few bits of clothing re-
naming to afford clue to its identi-
|ty. The news was carried to Free
land at once, and the parents of the
missing child were informed. They
fastened to the spotan the mothers
quick and keen memory served to
identify the remains of a pair of red
stockings and new shoes as those
worn by her child. The remains
we're brought home and received in
terment. The child is supposed tc
have wandered voluntarily from the
town and to have died from expos
ure on the mountain side.-Maston

The Shoemaker family, of Wilkes
Barre, is one of the oldest and
wealthiest in the anthracite coal
region. Their income from coal
royalties alone reaches a quarter OF
q million dollars year. One men,
Der of the family of Shoeinakers is
Mcdonald D. He is aged about
thirty. His income from coal royal
ties is about $4,000 a year. Six
months ago it was given out that
Mac. was about to wed tle daughter
of a rich and aristocratic citizen re-
siding on River street. His family
received the match favofably, and
saw in an early marriage a new
career for the young man.
All at once young Shoemaker said
he would not marry the girl who had
been raised in the lap of luxury.
He had terrible dread that he
would one day become poor
and then his wife would be no help
to him. He proposed to marry a
poor girl, who, in the hour of adj
versity, if such an hour came, could
assist him in earning his daily bread.
Annie Lawrence, or English Annie,
was the girl he proposed to marry.
She was formerly employed as a
housekeeper. When Shoemaker's
relatives heard of his intentions
they became highly indignant. The
Court was petitioned to appoint a
commission to examine into the
young mans sanity, and the request
was granted.
The action of the relatives made
Shoemaker more determined than
ever to marry the girl of his choice.
One day last week he and the Law
renee girl took train for Elmira,
where they were quietly married.
On Saturday Shoemaker returned
with his bride. His purpose was to
install the latter in his mothers
home, on Union street. His uncle,
John narrower, was in waiting.
AS soon as the bridal couple put
in an appearance Narrower took the
baggage, fired it into the street, and
when Shoemaker attempted to enter
the house the uncle knocked him
down, blackened his eyes and kicked
him into the gutter. Shoemaker at
once went before Mayor Sutton and
had his uncle arrested. There is
great excitement in aristocratit
circles over the affair. Uncle Har-
rover says Mac Shoemaker has de-
+ graded himself, but not the Shoe
maker family. The wife will
not be admitted to the family circle
under any circumstances.

Our town was visited by gang
of robbers on Thursday night last.
The store of Walter Spencer on
Main ST., was broken into through
the back window and about $500 in
cash stolen. DIR. Hills office was
broken into by prying the front
door open; nothing was disturbed,
however. John l.. Smyth's resi-
dence was entered by the cellar
door, the family at the time being
absent from home; SO far as learned
nothing was taken. Attempts were
made to break open T. j. Keelers
store and E. Maben's residence but
without success. The tools used by
the robbers were ordinary chisels
and were found in Mr.. Spencer r's
store Friday morning. No clue to
the guilty party or parties has been
discovered.

Monday forenoon while Charles
E, Brown of Jamison City eyed y
years, was engaged in dropping
down cars on the lumber switch, he
by some mishap fell between the
drawheads of two cars and was
crushed to death. The link pro-
truding from one of the drawheads
passed clear through his body. Mr..
Brown came to jameson City about
one month ago, and took charge OF
the shipping and loading depart
ment for the Fisbingcreek Lumber
Co. His sad death cast a gloom
over the City not easily to be for
gotten. His remains were taken
home for interment Tuesday morn
ing. He was single man OF fine
moral and industrious habits, and
we deeply sympathize with his par
ents in their sad woe. The mill
was immediately shut down out OF
respect for the young man. The
deceased was from Portage, Pa.-Ea

Dumas Youngest Dnugh ter,

the Dumas family and he gave me an
amusing account of Mile. Jeannine, now

was always wild and jolly and head
over heels, possessing much of her fa-
theirs wit, and talking slang without
end--in a word, thoroughly "in de
steele" She mortally affronted one day
an antiquated beau and member of the
Jockey club, who still prided himself on
his personal charms and prowess as a
lady killer. This parsonage called one
day upon Nine. Dumas and requested to
see her daughter.
A servant was accordingly sent to
summon mademoiselle. Then came a
voice from the staircase announcing in
audible tones: 81 shall not come. When
| want to study antiquities will go to
the Louvre" And the old gentleman
never forgave her. At her own we'd

that followed the ceremony her bride
groom noticed that she was looking at
him with a peculiarly pensive express
sion. "Why do you look 80 sad?'' he said

WHO BACKS HIM?
THE ABBOTTS AND CHINESE HIGH
BINDERS WITH All LING.
Raising Money in Chinatown on the Eve
of the Municipal Election
For What?

1t is not only the white gamblers who
hope for favors from the election of r.
A. Ling to the mayoralty, but it appears
that the Chinese fan-tan bosses too are
interested in the event. At the close OF
last week a police officer was in the
place of Charlie All Him, when one of
the notorious and infamous Abbotts came
in and said: "Come Charlie, we want
you over at All Mow's. Judge Ling is
there and that $500 must be raised at
once"
Ah Him demurred to going, but A b.
bott stuck to his point and took the
Chinese boss away to the den of the
other one, where Ling was represented
as waiting for conference of the two
mandarins to raise 5000 on the very eve
of the election.
The police state that all Chinatown is
agog with the expectation that when
Ling is mayor all the fan-tan games will
be wide open.
These facts point the way the wind is
setting. To think of placing at the head
of the government OF this city man
whose interests are backed by these
notorious highbinders and this notori-
GUS macquereau This is really the issue
at stake in the election of Il. A. Ling.
