MARSH'S DOUBLE.
A Case of Mistaken Identity in Which
His Highness Figured

High Constable Rinker, who has bios
somed out as prominent contractor for
the laying of sidewalks and cutters, was
quietly watching his force at work on an
uptown street one morning this week
when well-dressed drummer passed
by. The agent was making Decline
for nearby grocery store and carried
the customary valise filled with sam
pies of his goods. The II. G. imme-
diately drew from his inside pocket a
photo and printed description of Presi-
dent Marsh, the absconding banker of
Philadelphia, and with an exclamation
which sounded like CHATS me man."
he started in pursuit. The drummer
was about entering the store when he
turned and saw His Highness bearing
down upon him like an avalanche, and
suddenly remembering some of the
stories he had read about the wild
people of the mining regions, he took to
his heels.
Then the chase began in earnest,
Robert NJ. by this time feeling certain
that he had his eye upon the bank
looter and visions of the $4,000 reward
danced around him, while the agent
had his own opinion of the affair and
as the cold perspiration glided down his
back he concluded that Freeland is an
unhealthy locality for strangers and
began to make a hasty exit. Just as
the pursued and pursuer found them
selves on Centre Street the whistle of
an approaching train was heard and
with this both broke into dead run,
the drummer's coat-tails floating in the
breeze and Rinker's venerable white
plug bobbing up and down in a men
aclng manner. 1t was five and one-half
blocks to the l.. V. station and it looked
like race for life as both men flew
past the THIBUNE office. On they went
through the Points, neither gaining nor
losing, knocking down several street
urchins who failed to clear the wav in
time, and attracting the attention of
pedestrians, who thought Robert M.
was trying to arrest the man for selling
bug powder or some other household
article without license. Again the
whistle sounded and with a desperate
effort the High Constable made plucky
squirt, caught up with the agent, grasped
the outspread coat-tails and began II
ar
This sentence has not yet been finish
ed. A treacherous hole in the sidewalk
near Carbon Street enticed Roberts foot
and there was heavy fall The Sc, 900
reward faded in the mist that gathered
before his eyes, the white hat bounded
in the direction of the gutter, the drum
mer sang out mocking "Ta, ta," swung
aboard the 9.45 train for New York and
President Marsh is still missing.

The air is filed with fish stories this
week, and one is going the rounds at the
expense of prominent jeweler and two
other business men. These three anglers
journeyed to the Obey on Tuesday and
after vainly trying to induce the fish to
bite they went into the stream after
them, swimming and diving like ducks,
utterly obivious of the fact that they
wore their best suits of clothes There
was no danger of drowning, as it is i'm
possible to force water down their
throats, and upon their return to terra
tirma the jeweler proposed a foot-race.
When all were under a full head of
steam the leader tripped over a canine
from the Points, bringing the others
down with him in q confused heap.
They claim the earth suddenly rose up
against them, and the conclusion must
have been terrific, Judging from the
lacerated portions of their anatomy.

The Law and Order Society began its
persecution this week. After the meet
ing on Tuesday evening one of its mem
bers, John Shaffer, swore out warrants
charging the following persons with hay-
ing their places of business open and
selling in violation of the Sunday law
of 1884: f. S. Shck, ice cream and con-
fectionery dealer, Centre Street, below
Main; Geo. Shick, cigars and tobacco.
Centre Street, above Main, and Mrs. S.
b. Nanhorn, ice cream and confection-
cry, Centre and Chestnut Streets. The
defendants were cited to appear before
Squire Kline at o'clock last evening
and explain why they dared to deviate
from the narrow-guaged track of Sunday
observance, laid down one hundred
years ago. The society had number
of witnesses at the hearing, but the ac-
cused asked for postponement, which
was granted, the Justice naming the
hours of 2, 3 and 4 P NJ. on Friday as
the time. Just why these three people
were selected from the large number
who kept open the society only can
explain, and its boasted fair and impair
tial enforcement" of the law seems to
have degenerated into personal grudge.
The action of the society this week has
turned public opinion stronger than ever
against it.

There will be music in the air when the
Slavonian Young Mems Band of Freeland
gets in proper working order, and that is
to be very soon. a meeting was held
this week by several of the Slavonians

the projectors expected. A subscription
list was opened at the meeting and S175

is most encouraging start in raising the
necessary collateral to buy instruments
and the amount will be further increased
by the proceeds of grand hop at the

Discord in Republican Ranks.

The Democrats of Luzerne fully under
stand with their Republican opponents
the appointing power of Judge, and
they are therefore quite anxious for the
success of the Democratic candidate, and
as Lynch is certain to be the nominee, it
goes without saying that he will poll the
full vote of his party. The Republicans
see this and are in quite furry over it.
They want to retain political supremacy
on the bench and will do their best to
this end. But they note with dismay
strong evidences of discord which fore
shadow break in party discipline this
year and consequent weakening of
their vote unless all hands can unite on
Il popular candidate. .-Scrdnton Truth.

pitched for Allentown and made quite

for and managed York. 1t was while
pitching for this team in an exhibition
