Joseph Moore, ESQ.,, Luzerne county
commissioners solicitor, was here on
Friday endeavoring to find out among
the saloon keepers how many of them
had paid money to Constable Daniel
Gallagher, of Wilkes Barre.
1t will be remembered that a number
of the saloon men were arrested by this
constable last summer, charged with vio-
lating the liquor laws, but when the mat
ter went before the grand jury everyone
of the bills were ignored.
After lodging information it is said
that Gallagher made settlement
with some of the accused men, and then,
when the grand jury took action upon
his report, he turned in against the
county bill of $2l7 for xpensees.
The commissioners, however, are not
paying out money just now to everybody
who presents bill, and the visit of the
solicitor to this place was for the purpose
of investigating Gallagher's claim.

CURED BY FAITH.
Wilkes Barre Has Man Who Banishes
All Kinds of Diseases.

Wilkes-Barre is excited over some
wonderful faith cures performed by a
man calling himself "The Healing Evan
gelist," who has been healing persons
there who for years have been sick
The first service was held Thursday
night at the Zion NJ. E. Church. After
sermon by the healer a large number
of sick persons were treated by laying
on of hands, and some very remarkable
results were obtained.
Among his cures it is said that several
deaf persons were made to hear; several
were freed entirely from rheumatic
pains and stiffness. A man with heart
disease suddenly felt the heart beating
naturally. Another unable to bend his
back from lumbago and sciatica quickly
and easily stepped to and from the floor.
woman in an agony of extreme
pain instantly declared her anguish had
gone. A man nearly blind said his
sight was greatly helped, and then he
correctly described objects fifteen feet
distant, which was impossible before.
Another meeting was held on Friday
and the little church could not hold the
large crowd which assembled to see the
wonderful healer. After discourses by
the pastor and Rey. 2. Warnon many
treated the previous evening arose and
emphatically testified that the benefits
they obtained continued permanently.
large number of new patients were
treated. Ensign Wedeman, 45 years,
totally deaf, instantly heard a whisper,
and the same happened to the totally
deaf ears of L. Davenport, Z. Evans and
several others. William Lane said his
asthmatic symptoms were instantly re-
moved.
Mrs. L. Reese's withered and totally
powerless arm was relieved instantly,
and she raised it to her head and the
long, bent and crooked fingers were
loosened and Strengthened. Mrs. S.
Wincom's rheumatic pains ceased right
away. Mrs M. Buffers chronic neural
gia left her at once. Mrs. Brenner's
rheumatisp yielded and for the first
time in years she knelt, rasied her feet
to a chair seat and ran and jumped like
a girl.
William Hayden's lost speech was
greatly helped, and his rheumatic feet,
that he could not raise, were SO helped
that he jumped on and off chair and
then ran and leaped. Scores of toher
equally striking results are said to have
been obtained.

NEWS FOR DEMOCRATS.
OVER 5000 PoSToFFlCES WILL BE
DISTRIBUTED IN THIS STATE.

But There Is Only One Plum in Each
Supply the Demands of the Unterrified
List of Presidential Offices.
- There are about 5000 postoffices in
Pennsylvania upon which the eyes of
the Democratic faithful are now cast.
Of these less than 300 pay salaries
above $1,000 year, the balance being
what are known as fourth-class offices
where the postmasters receive commits
slons ranging from 500 a year up to
$1,000.
These fourth-class offices are subject
to the operations of the fourth assistant
postmaster generals axe and the occu-
pants of them will have no assurance in
office after the fourth of next March.
The offices ranging above $1,000 year
and known as first, second and third
class are the principle plnms sought
after, and the incumbents are appointed
by the president.
The custom has been for the incum-
bents of these to be allowed to serve out
a term of four years from the time of
their appointment. Whether this is
semi-civil service arrangement will be
carried out by Cleveland remains to be
seen.
The follow ng is list of the offices in
this part of the state which pay more
than $1,000 year, together with the date
of the expiration of the terms of the
present incumbents. The salaries now
paid in them are also given.
The two principal ones are those at
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, each Of
which is worth $4,000 year.

As may be seen above the commission

probable successor are those of Ex-Post-

Cleveland, and D. j Mccarthy.
For the Hazleton Office it is said that
Anthony Reilly, the late Democratic

Nowadays when a subscriber gets so
mad because an editor differs with him
on some trivial question that he discon.
tinues his paper, We remind him of q
good anecdote of the late Horace Greely,
the well known editor of the New York
Tribune.
Passing down Newspaper Row in New
York city one morning, he met one of
his readers, who exclaimed:
Mr.. Greely, after the article you
published this morning, | intend to stop
your paper"
"oh, no"' said Mr.. Greedy, "don't
do that"
Yes, sir, my mind is made up, l in.
tend to stop the paper"
The angry subscriber was not to be
appeased, and they separated. Late in
the afternoon the two met again, when
Mr. Greely remarked:
"Mr. Thompson, | am very glad you
did not carry out your threat this morn
ing"
"What do you mean?"
"Why, you said you were going to
stop my paper didn't you?"
"And so j did. l went to the office
and had your paper stopped"
"You are surely mistaken; have Just
come from there, and the press was run
ming and business was booming"
Sir" said Thompson, very pomp-
ously, 81 meant intended to stop my
subscription to your paper"
"Oh, thunder" reioined Greedy; Il
thought you were going to stop the run
ming of my paper and knock me out of a
living. My friend let me tell you some
thing: one man is just one drop of water
in the ocean. You didn't set the ma
chinery of this world in motion, and you
can't stop it, and when you are under
meath the ground things upon the sur
face will wag on the same as ever"

The Charge Exploded.

On Saturday while at work in No. ]
slope, Drifton, John Dagone, an old and
experienced miner, was preparing q
charge of dualin for rock hole. After
he had it completed he came to the con-
clusion the fuse was too damp and he
set fire to it and threw it on the road
near where he was sitting.
When the fuse had burned nearly to
the cap he tried to extinguish it with
his boot, but he was unsuccessful and
the charge exploded, blowing off four
toes and the-top of his right foot. He
was taken to his home in No. 2, where
the wound was dressed.

Jacob Conner Found Not Guilty.

The trial of Jacob Conner, of Nanti-
coke, for the murder of John Supka, a
Hungarian, of that place, on June 30
last, was concluded on Thursday, and
after deliberation of three hours the
Jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
As the verdict was announced all eyes
were turned on the prisoner to see what
effect it would have on him, but he was
perfectly calm, retaining the same com
posure which from the first had marked
his behavior.
He left the court room Immediately
after he was discharged, and took the
first train for his home and rejoined the
family from which he has been absent
four and half months.

Brief Session of the Banking Board.
Tue State Banking board held a brief ses-
sion this afternoon, to listen TO the argumen
of Attorney John Whitmore of York, in
behalf of the North American Loan and
Building association of St. Paul, Mimi.
When the new law governing the operations
of national building and loan associations in
this state went into effect, the above COM
pany was shut out for the reason that it's
constitution and bylaws came in conflict with
the law of Nebraska. Mr.. Whitmore
explained at length the difference between
the Nebraska law and that of Minnesota, and
maintained that the difference was merely
technical and one that can be easily obviated.
The board reserved its decision until Monday.
A IN smber OF the board made the statement
that even If the company referred to amends
its bylaws to comply with the Nebraska law,
it will then come in conflict with tho Minne-
sofa law, and under the provisions of the
NeDraska law a national building and loan
association must not only make its bylaws
conform to our state law, but with the law
of the state from which it receives its
charter. In other words, an association of
this character cannot have two sets Of by
laws, one for Nebraska and one for another
state.
