Prepare for the Spring Election.

Next in order under the new ballot
law is for the borough and township
auditors to make themselves familiar
with the new law, because it will be
their official duty to provide the ballots
in their respective districts for the Feb
ruary election, just as the commissioners
provided for the county.
Of course, the ballots will be much
smaller than the blanket" but they
must be according to official form and
provided within limited time.
Heretofore the Office of borough or
township auditor was not held in very
high esteem, as it required only days
work or so each year to audit the ac-
counts of the officers. This, however,
does not apply to Foster township,
where the auditors have yet been un-
able to make report of the financial
condition, but as a general rule the office
was not considered a very big plum in
the past.
These officials now find themselves
suddenly invested with a great deal of
authority and great deal more respon-
sibility. Certificates of nomination and
nomination papers must be filed with
them by the different paties or indepen-
dent candidates within a specified time
before the spring election. Objections
to certificates must be passed upon and
decided by them. They control the
printing and delivering of the ballots, and
must go through lot of business with
the county commissioners before and
after election.

"The Merry Cobbler."

"The Merry Cobbler," a comedy drama
in four acts, is coming this way after a
very successful tour through the West,
and will be seen at the opera house on
Monday evening next.
The play deals with the character of
German nobleman, who, through Sc
ries of unusual circumstances, which are
fully explained, is forced to become a
cobbler in New Orleans.
John r. Franz Cumpson is in the title
role, appearing as Franz, ''The Merry
Cobbler."
Franz is a great favorite with all the
children in the neighborhood, and in
the first act he is seen amusing Edna
and Ralph, two little children, by sing.
ing and taking part in their games. He
adopts a waif, Mena, whom he after.
ward discovers to be his little niece.
From cobbler he rises to his true
position as Baron Won Altenheim, the
events leading up to this giving rise tc
many sensational climaxes.
The play is handsomely staged, es-
pecially in the third act when the lawn
party is. held.
During this act number of special
ties are introduced in which several
members of the company take part.
"The Merry Cobbler" has several
thrilling scenes and is teeming with
comedy of such refined order that the
audience is kept in continual laughter
John r. Cumpson made decided hit
this season in his dual role of Franz and
Lena. He dons the latter disguise in
order to hunt down william. His sing
ing is especially pleasing and many OF
his actions are exceedingly humorous.
La petite Gertrude Meyer, Little
Rosebud and Master Leon call forth
much applause by their clever acting.
The usual price of admission will be
charged. Reserved seats can be procur-
ed at Christy's store.

The trial of Jacob Conner, wealthy
resident of near Nanticoke, for the mur-
der of a Hungarian, Mike Supka, on
June 20 last, was begun at Wilkes Barre
on Tuesday, and is exciting deep inter-
est. A jury was selected after six
hours session. VIM. +. Watkins, of this
place, is one of the jurymen.
The murder was one which aroused
the people of Nanticoke to such pitch
of excitement that Conner only escaped
lynching by the vigilance of the officers
who had him in charge. The murdered
man was quiet, peaceable citizen of
Honey Pot, and man liked and respect
ed by all.
With two companions he was out
walking one day and as they were pass
ing the Conner farm they stopped on the
roadside to pick a few cherries from a
tree leaning over the wall.
AS they did so, man suddenly sprane
up from behind the wall with a gun al
his shoulder Without a moments
warning he fred and Supka fell dead
Conner was arrested and treated the
matter with so much unconcern, even
laughing during the hearing, that the
people were very much aroused.

Mismanagement Somewhere.

The people of this section who were
induced to attend "Hanlon's Fantasma'
in the Hazleton opera house, by the an
nouncement, Especial train to Freeland
after the play" were shamefully treat
ed on Tuesday night either by the man.
agement or railroad company.
When the play was over they went to
the station, only to be told that no train
was going to Freeland, because of a
freight wreck on the main line.
As the special train announced by the
Hazleton people is said to be nothing
more or less than the regular freight,
with a passenger car attached and
arrives here between the hours of ~ and
2 A. NJ, was not coming, the people from
this side were compelled to drive home
at the rate of 81 90 each.

EDITOR TRIBUNE.-The following is a
tribute to the memory of one whose
life ended on the 1lth inst.
James Cartwright was born in Stat
fordshire, England, on October 10, 1899.
He came to this country in May, 1868,
and settled at Traverton, Schuylkili
county, and afterward removed to
Jeddo.
Being miner by profession he work
ed for G.. B, Markle & Co. for a period
of twenty-nine years, during which time
he filled the position of mine foreman
for that company for several years.
Amongst his qualities he was man
respected by all who knew him as citi-
zen and neighbor.
His Christian spirit was energetic his
ear and hand were ever open to the dis
tressed, and the cry of the widow and
the fatherless never passed unheeded
by him.
He was best loved by those who knew
him best, and especially by his own
family.
His beloved wife has lost good hus-
band; his family, consisting of eight, has
lost kind father, his aged mother feels
the sad loss, and his associates warm
friend.
1t is sad to part-sad to know of our
brother being cut off in the midst of
dali y toil-yet we are the clay, our Crea-
tor is the potter, and, as being of intelli-
gence, we must submit to the will of
God.
Whilst our brother was delying in the
mine, working for the bread which per-
ishes, he was summoned from time to
his eternal reward, aged So years and
"a days. A FRIEND.

CLEVELAND SAYS NO.
HE DOES NOT FAVOR AN EXTRA
SESSION.

1t Is Said That MIR. Cleveland Believes
That All Needed Legislation Can BE
Done without Resorting to an Extraor-
dinary Session of the Next Congress.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The Sun says it is
permitted to announce authoritatively that
it is the present determination of ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland not to call an extraordinary
session of congress after his inauguration
on March 4 next. 1t is further announced
that in the estimation at present of Mr..
Cleveland and his closest friends an ex-
traordinary session would turn out to be
profitless proceeding. His friends say that
Mr.. Cleveland must have time after his in
auguration to look over the ground. There
is a natural objection also to the reassem-
bling Of congress Immediately after the in
huguration ON the ground that it would
have more or less of an unsettling influence
on the business of the country.
To Take Plenty of Time.
But stronger than anything else is the
feeling that an extraordinary session could
be of no particular advantage, and that the
proper thing to do is to give Mr.. Cleveland
and the Democratic leaders time to look
around and determine just what course to
pursue. The best authorities say it will
take all next summer and fall to get under
headway, and that it will be plenty of time
to go ahead at the beginning of the Fifty
third congress, which assemblies on the
first Monday of December, 1893
The last session of the Fifty-second con-
gress, which assemblies on the first Mon
day of December, may take up a bill call
ing for the repeal of the Sherman law,
which makes it obligatory for the treasury
department to purchase every month g.
100000 in silver bullion.
But even if this congress does not act on
the Sherman law there is little or no prob
ability that Mr.. Cleveland will call an ex-
traordinary session. He is averse to extra
sessions. His cabinet will not be made up
before February next
