Out of the Weld.

County Treasurer John S. McGroarty,
of Wilkes-Barre, has decided to with
draw from the internal revenve collec-
torship fight of the twelfth district, thus
leaving the field to Herring, of Scranton,
and James, of Easton. Mr. McGroarty
is considered to have very good chances
of receiving the appointment and many
prominent politicians were interested in
his behalf. f. V. Rockafellow was con-
sidered his strongest opponent but by
the failure of Rockafellow's bank his
name has been dropped.
Mr.. McGroarty gives as his season
that the fight is very hard one and the
appointment not certain even after the
seemingly most successful efforts. He
also says that Senator Wolverton is work
ing hard for Herring and that Senator
Muller is likewise making great efforts
to get the appointment for his candi-
date, James, of Easton. Mr.. McGroarty
also says that he considers Herring toe
strong to fight against.

A Candidate withdraws.

In letter to the TRIBUNE on Tuesday
evening Patrick J. Gallagher, of High
land, the Independent candidate for tax
collector in Foster township, states that
he has decided to withdraw and give a
clear field to the Democratic nominee,
Conrad Brehm, of Upper Lehigh. Mr..
Gallagher says he will also have his
nomination papers withdrawn if possi-
BILE, so as to prevent his name from
being printed on the official ballot.
In conversation with two of the audi
tors yesterday they said they had re-
ceived no notice yet from Mr.. Gallagher,
and until he does that they will have to
follow the law and have his name print
ed on the ballot. The Baker bill, it is
claimed, makes no provisions for the
withdrawal of township or borough can
didates, and unless Mr. Gallagher can
get the auditors together and accept his
withdrawal in some manner this after
noon the name will haye to go on.
Printers have no authority to leave a
name off the ticket, even when notified
by candidate as they are responsible
to the auditors for their work, and any
deviation from the form and instructions
given by the auditors is liable to bring
upon the printer a fine of $1,000 and
FIVE years imprisonment.

HIGHLAND DOTS.

James Dugan met with terrible
death in No. slope on Monday evening
between and 6 o'clock by n premature
blast. He was a miner and worked in
what is known as slope 3D." and as his
breast was close to the face of the gang
way, which was stopped, much annoy
ance was given himself and the driver
on account of there not being room to
bring in two cars at time.
On Monday he drilled two holes in
the gangway to make the necessary
room for the cars, and after charging
them told the aborer to 60 home that he
would fire them and load car. This is
the last time he was seen aliye, as the
laborer started for home and shortly
after the night driver went in and found
him with his skull crushed and his neck
broken.
Many are suppositions regarding the
manner in which he met with the acci-
dent, but the most plausible one is that
the squib was too shcrt, as all the wounds
indicate that as soon as he set fire to it
the blast exploded. He was 35 years of
age, and leaves wife and six children.
The interment will be made at st. AIMS
cemetery at 2 O'Clock this afternoon.
The politicians seem to have great re-
late. Almost every candidate who is
looking for Office in the township have
paid us visit recently. All they can
do is to live in hopes until election day.

kind, as the knife will be used freely by

JACKSON CHALLENGES CORBETT.
The Champion VIII Accept If He Cannot
Arrange With Mitchell.


MILWAUKEE, Feb 13-A dis patch from
San Francisco says that Peer jackson
has mailed a letter to the editor of the New
York Clipper, inclosing a check for g, 500
as forfeit, challenging Corbett to fight to
finish for the championship of the world,
a wager of $4,000 or 100000 side and the
largest purse offered by any club, the con-
test to take place not sooner than or
later than 10 months from the date of the
challenge.
Champion Corbett, who is now in this
city, said: 81 accept Peter Jackson's chal-
lenge with this proviso-that this accept
ance is void if l succeed in arranging a
match with Charley Mitchell. My man
ager, William A. Brady, and Mr.. Delaney,
my trainer, will meet Mitchell on his ar
rival in New York. They will have $4,000
of my money, which they will deposit in
that city. Mitchell must cover it in 10 days
or forfeit all right to match with me.
Should Mitchell fail to cover the deposit,
l shall consider that he has been indulging
in one of his periodical bluffs, and l will
then consider that my acceptance of Jack
sons challege is binding"

ing his skull and otherwise injuring
him.

ANOTHER ROBBERY.
A Drifton Hungarian Is Relieved of 81,
on the Outskirts of Oakdale.

John Lickwer, a Hungarian of Drift
ton, vent to Stockton on Sunday to col
lect S17 which he had loaned fellow
countryman some time ago. The man
who borrowed the money intended
going to the old country ON Monday,
and when John appeared he was prompt
ly paid what was due him. He spent a
pleasant afternoon with his Stockton
friend, and as it was getting dark he
started on his way to Drifton.
When he reached the outskirts of
Oakdale he heard four men following
him. He walked slower in order that
they might pass him, but when they
caught up with him they made rush
and all four pounced upon him. Lick
wer was thrown to the ground, and al
though he protested and fought as well
as he was able they went through his
pockets.
He had no money or valuables of any
kind, excepting the S17 he received at
Stockton. This was taken and after
beating him badly the ruliians took to
the woods and disappeared. Lickwer
noticed that each wore a mask of some
kind over his face, and no words were
spoken in his presence. The poor Hun
made his way to Drfton the best he
knew how, and was laid up until yester-
day morning with his =. injuries. He
went to work yeterday, but is badly
disfigured. He is employed as laborer
in No. slope, and men who know him
say he is of quiet and peaceful dis
position.
The matter was kept very quiet in
hopes that the guilty parties would be
captured, but no trace of them has yet
been found. 1t is thought the men who
took the money We're Lickwer's own
countrymen, and knew of his mission
to Stockton.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 11.-Brother Maure-
lian, secretary of the Roman Catholic ex-
hibit at the Worlds fair, has written to the
Roman Catholic clergy of Milwaukee ask
ing their assistance in securing the Danish
ment of nude pictures and statuary from
the fair. Brother Maurelian has already
filed protest with the Worlds fair Off
cials. The protest is based on these rea-
sons: That such an exhibition as proposed
is unprecedented; that there is nothing ele-
waiting or ennobling in such display; that
art has never gained by an exhibition of
the nude; that true art is of the mind men,
tai, of the spirit spiritual, and he who
drags it from its high place and makes it
pander to the sensuous prostitutes alike
his gift and himself.

FATHER DUSS ACCUSED.
A Receiver Wanted For the Economite So
ciety of Pennsylvania.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 9.-That the Economic
society, with President John Duss at its
head, will soon be involved in troublesome
litigation is now an assured fact. George
K. Ward, brother-in-law of Mr., Duss, ac-
cording to his own statement, is the plain
tiff. He and Mr.. Duss have not been
friendly for years. Mr. Ward said to a re-
porter: "a petition will be presented in
court asking that receiver be appointed
to administer the affairs of the Economic
society We want an inquiry to be made
into its affairs to see how things have been
going and to put matters in shape. That
is the first thing. If the means are sufii-
cient, we will continue the society. If we
find it insolvent we will have the affair
wound up"
Mr. Ward was most emphatic in his de-
nunciation of Mr.. Duss and accused him Of
many Irregularities in conducting the af-
fairs of the community, saying that he is
acting entirely for purposes of self interest.

could not hear people talk as I can now

my teacher at school; always had noise in
my ears could not attend to my books; had
to stop school; could not 20 out and play
anything but sit still; was tired and sleepy
ali the time; had a bad discharge from my
ears that smelled bad and made my face
sore wherever it touched it. I never was
choke at times and hardly could breathe
when 1 tried to run. My mamma tried
every thing she could hear of, but as had
bee n sick ever since was two years, old h
nothing could be found to cure me until she
took inc to DR.. Hume, and although have
taken no medicine for the last six months
have had no return of the trouble and am
entirely cured. Dr.. Hume treated me for
only four months and did for me in that
time more than everybody else, for he cured
me and made me quite well.
