Constable Denis Gallagher, of Wilkes
Barre, arrived in town on Tuesday and
added two more, Peter Yansinski and
John Guido, to the already large num-
Der of liquor men arrested for violating
the law. He had decoy with him on
this visit in the shape of Polander, and
several attempts were made by the de-
coy in this vicinity yesterday to catch
his unsuspecting countrymen in the
meshes of the law, but as the liquor men
have an eye to business the past few
months he was unsuccessful. 1t has
been hinted that Gallagher's eagerness
to have the law obeyed was not that he
loved the law alone, but that the word
settle" would be an important factor in
every case.
The liquor men are determined to
light the matter to finish in the court,
and will make no compromise one way
or another. They have some of the
best legal talent at the county seat en-
ployed to see that justice is given them.
Gallagher states, however, that the rev.
enue collector is behind the whole affair,
and the collector has been receiving SO
many letters from this section request
ing him to take these steps that he was
compelled to do it in the interest of law
and order.
Yesterday large number of witnesses,
chiefly saloon keepers from the Points
were summoned to appear before the
grand jury to-day in the cases of the
liquor men who were arrested a few
weeks rgo. Gallagher is confident that
true bills will be found against them in
every case.

PROPERTY:OWNERS PROTEST.
A Kick Against an Increase in the
Borough Valuations.

About forty five of the property owners
of the borough responded to call for a
meeting to be held at the opera house on
Tuesday evening. An organization was
perfected by electing Hugh Malloy chair
man and John M. Powell, 1st, secretary.
1t was stated by some of the gentlemen
present that the meeting had been called
in order to devise the best plan to have
the land valuations reduced. When
Assessor Washburn made his assessment
the rate per foot frontage was the same
as for the past few years and was salts
factory to the property-owners, and there
was no change in the transcripts sent out
by the commissioners.
When appeal day for this borough
came there was no objections raised, and
in looking over the assessment the COM
missioners concluded that the rate in
Freeland was not enough, and the valua-
tions were doubled on every street in
town. The ex-assessor, who had been
sent for and arrived at the meeting,
stated he would not at first agree to the
cnange decided upon by the commits
sioners, but after several hours parleying
with them at Wilkes-Barre, he was in
duced to sign an agreement authorizing
them to make the increased valuations.
He declared, however, that he made
them promise the increase would also be
made along the streets of the Points, in
Foster, as it would be unfair to have one
part of the town higher than the other,
when both are equally as valuable.
The change in township figures, it was
stated, has not been made, because
Assessor Farrar would not give his con-
sent, and told the commissioners the
first was done properly and if they
wanted to increase it to do so upon their
own responsibility. The borough pro-
perty owners did not seem to care what
rate was paid on the township streets.
They were positive the rate was too high
here and what made matters worse was
the fact that none, if any, knew the
valuation has been increased until they
went to pay their taxes last week.
After discussing the matter for long
time it was decided to send the ex-
assessor to the commissioners and try 10
have the matter remedied. Mr.. Wash
burn stated he had written to Wilkes
Barre that morning regarding the matter,
and expected an answer in day or two.
If no satisfactory answer arrives Mr..
Washburn is to 60 on Friday, accompain-
ed by Adam Sachs and r. Ludwig, who
were selected as committee to accom-
pany him. In the meantime the secre-
tary is to draw up petition, requesting
the commissioners to have the former
figures restored, and to have it signed by
as many property owners as will do so.
This will be given to the committee to
present to the commissioners.

The person who conducts his business
on the theory that it doesn't pay, and
he can't afford to advertise, sets up
his judgement in opposition to all the
best business men in the world. With
a few years experience in conducting a
small business on few thousand dollars
of capital, he assumes to know more than
thousands of business men whose hourly
transactions aggregate more than his DO
in year, and who have made their
millions by pursuing course that he
says does not pay.

MARRIED YESTERDAY.
Two More Young Couples Are United in
the Bonds of Matrimony.

A very pretty wedding was celebrated
in st. James Episcopal church, Drifton
last evening, when Miss Ada Rowlands
and John B. Cunningham, both of Drift
ton being joined in matrimony by Rev.
j. P. Buxton, of Drifton. Both bride
and groom have long been residents of
Drifton, and their social standing was
never better shown than by the large
number of friends and relatives in at
tendance at the ceremony.
The church was well filed when the
maid of honor, Miss Hattie Cunningham,
sister of the groom, made her appear
ance, followed by the bride on the arm
of her father John Rowlands. The
groom followed, resting on the arm of
his brother, L. Cunningham, of Michigan,
and then the first bridesmaid and
groomsman, Miss Mary Davis and
Samuel Cunningham, followed by Miss
Eva Cunningham and Chas. Cunning
ham, who held the honor of second
bridesmaid and groomsman.
At the centre of the altar the father
of the bride gave her over to the groom,
then Rev. Buxton spoke the woods that
made them husband and wife. At the
conclusion of the ceremony the party,
headed by the newly joined couple pro-
Ceeueu lTOiu lue CDuTCn 10 bnc reSluence
of the BRIDES father. The reception
which took place was a very brilliant
affair, the bride and groom receiving the
congratulations and best wishes of the
large number of guests, and the clock
pointed to nearly midnight ere the
gathering dispersed.
Yesterday at $50 O'Clock the wedding
of Miss Maggie Kelly and James W.
Carey, both of Freeland, was celebrated
at st. AIMS Catholic church. The
bridesmaid was Miss Bridget Gallagher,
of Philadelphia, and the groomsman,
James McNelis, of Harwood. Rev. f.
P: McNally performed the cermony.
The young couple are well and favorably
known in this vicinity, and their popu-
larity was well attested by the large
number of friends and relatives who
congratulated them on their return to
the residence of the brides parents. In
the evening a reception was held at
which the immediate friends and rela-
tives of the young couple passed few
pleasant hours.

Their County Convention Was the Most
Exciting They Have Held in Many
Years-Williams and Boyle, Two Hard
Workers, Get Turned Down.

The Republican county convention
met at Landmessers, Hall on Tuesday
morning. Nothing of any importance
was accomplished before noon, except
the appointing of the necessary commit
tees. After dinner the committee on
organization reported General Mozart
ney, of Wilkes Barre, for chairman, and
the usual secretaries and vice presi-
dents.
For congress the names of c. D. Fos-
ter, Morgan B. Williams and Charles A.
Miner were presented. One ballot gave
Foster a majority of the votes, as
follows.

When the chairman announced that
Evans was the nominee great confusion
ensued. The Democratic convention
couldn't be compared to it so far as noise
was concerned. At least one half of the
delegates were trying to talk at once,
and charges of treachery and deception
were heard in all parts of the building.
The chairman pounded and yelled, but
to no avail, as the delegates kept up the
disturbance until they were tired out.
When enough peace had been restored
to hear McCartney's voice again, he call
ed for nominations for recorder. d. S.
w. Sutliff, Walter Garrison and Phil J.
Boyle, three of the defeated candidates
for sheriff, were named, and also Fred
III. Price. Mr.. Boyle and Mr.. Garrison,
however, were not in the best of humor
to accept another defeat, and both de-
clined to permit their names to 90 before
the delegates again. With these two
out the ballot was:
pulllu .....'. .l3I
Irlce .''.....''.......
DR.. Mckee, of Plymouth, was nomin-
ated for coroner, and Frank Sherwood,
of Kingston, was named for surveyor.
The senatorial convention met in the
morning, and after eecting officers
George III. Troutman nominated c. w.
Kline, of Hazleton, for senator. There
was no opposition and he was elected by
acclamation. The nominee made spirit
ed address, in which there were some
extravagant claims about the majority
he is going to receive and the kind of a
fight he will make.
Those of the Freeland Republicans
who cared to talk about the ticket yes
terday were not very enthusiastic over
the work of the conventions. Many of
them acknowledged that mistake had
been made in defeating Williams and
Boyle, but thought the nominees might
yet have a fighting chance. Over a
dozen showed their dissatisfaction by
refusing to express any opinion on the
strength of the ticket, and if the same
feeling prevails throughout Luzerne
county that exists around here the nomi-
nees are beaten already.

Died From His Wounds.

The Is year old son of Squire
Hardy Doolin, of near Rush Hill,
who was accidentally shot while out
hunting last Tuesday, died Thursday
morning. Young Doolin and a
companion were out hunting and
both rested their guns against a
tree. One of the guns fell to the
ground and in the fall the hammer
struck against the tree. 1t was dis
charged and the load of shot exter-
ed Doolin's groin, ranging upward in
to the bowels. The wounded youth
suffered great agony before death.
