Foster and the Old Soldiers,

The Wilkes-Barre correspondent of
the Nanticoke Nems says it would puzzle
the shrewdest and most observant of
politicians to tell which way the election
for local officers is going, if he were to
be governed at all by the opinion he
hears.
There certainly is considerable defec-
tion in the Republican ranks in the case
of Charles Foster, candidate for con-
gress, and his opponent, Billy Hines,
Will gain numerous votes from the dis
satisfied Republicans.
The veteran members of the Grand
Army of the Republic have it in for Fos-
ter. 1t is alleged that once upon time
a committee appointed to solicit subscrip-
tions for the benefit of the Memorial
Hall fund called upon Foster Che wasn't
a candidate for office them and stated
their business.
What have l to do with that?" Fos-
ter is reported to have asked the COM
mittee.
"Why," said the spokesman, 1--WE are
old soldiers and want help to pay for a
G. A. K. hall"
81 don't see how that concerns me-"
replied Foster. 81 am getting heartily
sick of that old soldier business. Yon
fellows ought to take your pensions and
pay for your halls if you must haye
them. don't expect to loaf there"

The committee having charge of the
Columbus Day celebration at Freeland
has received several responses from the
different organizations that have been
invited to take part. The prospects are
very bright for most creditabe display,
and the committee is certain that the
demonstration will compare fayorably,
both in numbers and appearance, with
any that will be held in the state.
1t was formerly intended to hold the
parade in the morning, but as several of
the public schools will have exercises in
the forenoon, it was decided to have it
take place at l o'clock Mai c. B. Coke
Post, No. 147, G. A. R., will assist at the
school exercises, and also participate in
the afternoon parade.
Freeland Company No, 80, Military
Rank, knights of the Mystic Chain, in
tends to make good showing in the
parade.
Division 10, A. 0. H., has engaged the
st. Patrick's cornet band, and will be
accompanied by Division 20, of Eckley.
The numerous Polish, Slavonian and
Greek socities will also be out strong
that day, and will do all they possibly
can to show their patriotism and loye for
their adopted country.
Inc commlttee expects to nave at
least a dozen floats equipped and decor
ated in fine manner.
In a few days the complete pro-
gramme of the order of socie ties and
route of parade will be ready for publi-
cation.
In the evening grand literary and
musical entertainment will be held at
the opera house under the auspices of
the Catholic Young Mems Literary In
stitute, assisted by the Daughters OF
Mary Sodalty. 1t will consist of sing.
ing, tableaux, debate, and an address
on columbus" by Rey. F. p. McNally.
The admission will be 25 cents.

Tried to Wreck a Train.

An unsuccessful attempt was made
near Jeddo yesterday afternoon to wreck
the passenger train due here at 4.39.
When within 200 yards of Pink Ash
junction man was seen standing at the
switch. Suddenly he raised the lever
and turned it round, then darted off
through the woods in the direction of
the culm bank below Jeddo.
The brakes were applied Immediately,
but the train could not be stopped until
it had passed the switch. The wrecker
rallied in his attempt to derail the train,
as the switch was not entirely open and
and the force and weight of the engine
and cars sprung the rails back and run
them on side track.
Several of the trainmen and passen-
gers started in pursuit of the man who
turned the switch, but they were unable
to catch him.
Upon reachiug Jeddo station Conduc-
tor laval telegraphed description of
him to the different stations, and every
effort will be made by the Lehigh Valley
Company to have him arrested and pun
ished.

The Republican party of this state is
in desperate straits over the new ballot
law. Although the system to be used
here next month is only poor imitation
of the genuine secret method of voting,
yet the leaders of the G. O. p. are doing
their utmost to kill every good point of
the bill. In all the states of the union
where secret voting has been tried it has
resulted disastrously to the Republicans,
and they are now beginning to shake in
Pennsylvania for fear that the banner
state will go Democratic if the voters
cannot be controlled and buldozed as
heretofore.
Their latest scheme is to try and have
the Baker ballot act declared unconsti-
tutional by the supreme court. Seven
attempts have already been made by
Republicans in different counties to have
this done, but all have so far failed. A
movement was started in Pittsburg yes
terday to try once more, and the ques-
tion on which the proposed fight on the
law is to he made is the well-ventilated
one of delegated authority. As the act
has stood the test of several suits already,
this remote issue is not likely to come
up for legal discussion before the cleo
ton, unless the Republicans become too
desperate in their frantic endeavors to
return to the former corrupt and rotten
system of voting.

Mr. Shras is present and ready to take the
oath"
The clerk of the court Mr.. Mckinney,
then. read the commission issued TO Mr..
Shiras, at the conclusion of which the new
associate justice arose and read in a moder-
ate voice the oath in which he swears to do
equal and exact justice to all, both rich
and poor, agreeably to the constitution and
the laws of the United States to the best of
his knowledge and ability.
The ceremony was quite brief, and all the
persons present stood during its continu-
ance, as well as the court.
Associate Justice Shiras is about fifty
five years old. He stands feet 10 inches
in height, but beside the larger members
of the court, Justices Gray and Harlan,
does not look all his inches. He has brown
hair, slightly tinged with gray, gray side
whiskers his chin and lip being shaved
clean His eye is blue, complexion vergine
on the ruddy, and his mouth shuts straight
across the face, indicating firmness and de-
cision. Justice Blatchford is encouraging
n beard and the chief justice has a luxuri'
ant mustache, so the new Justices whisk'
ers are not so striking on the bench as they
otherwise would be.

HIGHLAND DOTS.

At last one of our fondest hopes is
about to be realized 1t will be in the
shape of literary; one that the people
of town may feel proud of. There is nc
scarcity of material, as we have an abun-
| dance of intelligent and ambitious young
men, who, with very little training,
would astonish some of the older orators
and debaters that are to be found in the
neighboring towns. After its organiza-
ton an effort will be made to procure
some means by which the members will
have the assistance of a library. This
is the sure way to succeed boys. Keep
right on.
Hugh Gallagher is suffering from a
very severe attack of rheumatism for
the past week.
Work is very slack at present and
there is no sign of a change. 1t it the
Readings deal now. Wonder when it
will be our turn to deal.
John Gibbon, of Mahanoy City, has
secured work and intends making his
home here for the future.
Several of our young people will be
married in the near future.
Neal Gallagher, who had his foot in
jured at No. some time ago, is able to
be about again.
Mrs. Simon Slantzisky, who has been
lying dangerously ill, is slowly recover
ing.
Mrs. Daniel Hughings, of Hazleton, is
visiting here for few days.
c.. J. McGill, formerly a resident of
this place, returned on Saturday and be-
gan to work in No. mine.
James Oliver is laid up with a severe
attack of hay fever.
Occasionally we hear of some neigh
bor's line being robbed at night and
other thefts committed in our village.
Now the parties who are committing
these depredations had better stop it,
as they are well known.
Patrick Bradley was visiting in Haz-
Teton on Monday.
Charles Kringe, small boy about
Syears of age, had his head badly bruis-
ed this week while playing around
freight car.
Charles Bushome is lying dangerously
i'll at his home.
Miss Johanna O'Brien returned to
her home at Alden on Tuesday, after a
lengthy visit here.

voters. This will give six booths and
sixteen annexes for Freeland's 902

voters. This will give six booths and
sixteen annexes for Freeland's 902
voters.
The only place in town where there is
any probability of voters having trouble
to fix their ballots will be at the borough
poll. One set of election officers is en-
tirely too small to attend 424 voters, but
it is too late now to remedy it.
The Drifton district of Halle township
has 317 voters, but only one booth and
three annexes. This seems rather small
to accommodate the citizens there, as
nearly all the votes will be polled be-
tween and P. NJ, and it will require
some hustling to get them all in pro-
perly. All the other districts in this
vicinity are well equipped with election
apparatus, with the possible exception of
Eckley, which has two booths and five
annexes for its $40 voters.
The largest poll in the county is the
north ward in avoca, which has 563
voters. 1t is followed by the first dis
trict of Plains with 531 voters, and then
comes Freeland borough with 424.

Preparing for Annexation.

Edward A. Lynch, Esq, of Wilkes
Barre, who has been appointed by the
court to ascertain and adjust the in
debtedness of the school districts of the
borough and Foster township, gives no.
tice in another column that he will at
tend these duties at Attorney Hayes
Office on November 10.
This adjustment of the indebtedness of
the two districts is necessary is order to
learn just how much of Forter's school
debt must be be taken by the borough
before the Points and Birvanton can be
annexed.
1t is very probable, however, that the
date of the adjustment may be postpon-
ed, as citizens of the Points have filed
objections against the move to annex
that portion.

NEW YORK'S BIG WEEK.
GREATEST DISPLAY EVER MADE IN
THE METROPOLIS.

Four Days Required to Carry Out the
Elaborate Programme That Was Ar
ranged to Honor the Anniversary of
the Discovery of America.
New YORK, Oct 10.-It is probable that
no city was ever before so beautifully, so
gayly, so artistically, and above all so uni
versally decorated as is New York city to-
day in honor of the Columbus celebration
The second day of the quadrennial cele-
bration of the discovery of the New World
was devoted to religious services Both in
Roman Catholic and Protestant churches
the services were of the most impressive
character.
Today, the third day of the celebration,
the parade of the schoolboys took place, and
it was a beautiful sight There were 10000
boys and twenty-nine bands of music in line
Thousands of boys from the public and
parochial schools came first, and after them
the students of the higher institutions of
learning, then bodies of uniformed cadets
including one of 300 Indian boys from the
Indian school at Carlisle Pa.
New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE city today is
literally crowded with visitors from all
parts of the country, and it is cor puted
that fully 10000 visitors are in the city.
Thousands upon thousands of pairs OF
eyes witnessed on the New York and
Brooklyn bridge last night a pyrotechnic
exhibition of unexcelled splendor.
Screens of Roman dust followed bursting
shells; screaming eagles of fire mingled
with rockets and aerial sheafs and showers
of sparks, until the whole ended in tho
golden shower fac simile of Niagara, cover
ing the bridge from tower to tower, realis
tic and wonderful.
The great feature of the Columbian cele
bration today was the naval parade, which
started from the Narrows about 1890
O'Clock. The display was the finest even
seen in this vicinity.
New YORK, Oct. 12.-The number of Wis
itors attending the celebration of the 4OOth
anniversary of the discovery of America
far exceed that which attended the centen-
nial celebration. A conservative estimate
places the number of additional visitors
that have arrived in town today at 100000
The display of fireworks from the Brook
lyn bridge last evening began at $3.50 o'clock.
The big span was one immense arch of fire.
From then until nearly II o'clock the
bridge was one blaze of light, showing all
the tints known to the pyrotechnic art,
when with one last flight of rockets, a
shower of stars and bursting of bombs
the display of fireworks on the Brooklyn
bridge was ended
There were $4,000 members of various
Catholic societies in line, most of whom
carried lanterns, some red, others white,
with still others blue.
Today's event was the grand military
parade, which started from the Battery
this morning. 1t was magnificent spec
tacle, worth travelling hundreds of miles to
see This evening the grand illuminated
historical street pageant takes place.

A Successful Ball.

The ball of the Young Mems 7. A. B.
Society on Monday evening was another
of the many successful affairs held by
this organization. The hall was crowd
ed with the people of Freeland and
neigbboring towns, and many visitors
from distant places were present.
The grand march was led by Master
of Cermonies Edward J. Doggett and
Miss Hannah Dougherty, and was partici-
pated in by over 100 couples. During
the intermisson the st. Patrick's cornet
band played several choice selections.

Didn't Know 1t Was Loaded.

Another name was added to the long
list of didn't-know was-loaded acci
dents on Tuesday afternoon near West
Hazleton, when John O'Hara shot
David Richards in the right side.
Both young men live near Harleigh
and started out cunning for pheasants
Richards carried an old shot gun which
he said had not been loaded for years
and several times snapped it, but it fail
ed to go off.
AS they were going through the woods
he handed the gun to O'Hara to carry
and he amused himself as Richards had
done by swapping the trigger, but on the
second attempt it was discharged and
the load struck Richards in the side.
O'Hara, Mortified at what he had done,
picked up his companion and carried
him to a neighboring house.
Medical aid was summoned and the
shot extracted. Richards was not badly
hurt and was able to return home.-

The famous case of Mrs. Susannah
Watkins against John Schumacher, a
saloon keeper of Parsons, was tried at
Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday and Wednes-
day. The plaintiffs husband, while
drunk, was Killed on the railroad track
three years ago, and Mrs. Watkins
claims the liquor with which he became
intoxicated was sold to him by Schu.
macher, and sues him for>damages.
The case was previously decided by
arbitrators, who gave Mrs. Watkins 81.
500. Schumacher, however, refused tc
abide by their decision and the case was
taken into court, where it has attracted
much attention, being the first of its
kind.
1t is now in the hands of the jury, who
had not rendered verdict up to this
morning.
