He has no time to read except nights,

He can get city weekly four times as

He doesn't like the politics of the

His neighbor takes it and he takes the

The Judges at Wilkes-B Barre handed
down their report on the license applica-
tions of the county on Tuesday afternoon,
and the result of their deliberations was
a disappointment to number of persons
who haYe yearning to possess licenses.
In Freeland all who held licenses last
year were again given the necessary
document to carry on business, with one
exception, Michael Pasternak, 40 Centre
street, who was refused. The applicants
for new places, Daniel Boyle, of Centre
street, and Andrew Curney, of South
street, were also refused.
Charles Dusheck, who made applica-
ton for a wholesale license for 80 Wash
ington street, failed to receive it.
In Foster township, especially the
Five Points, a few well-known signs will
soon disappear, owing to the refusal of
the judges to grant the licenses. Peter
Jasnoski, new applicant in the town
ship, was refused, and S. Rudewick, of
South Heberton, is among the old houses
that failed.
George Malinky, who keeps at Fern
and Main streets, cannot sell after his
present license expires, and he will be
accompanied by the following parties
from the Points: Michael Bosock, 1873
Centre street; Michael Bros, "a Centre
street; John Kosick, So Centre street,
and Stephen Durkos, Ridge street.
All licenses that have been granted
must be paid for and taken out before
March 10, otherwise they will be mark
ed revoked by the clerk of the court.

sensation was created in the Metho-
dist Church at Ashley on Tuesday night
during prayer meeting by Jonathan
Thomas, who, after Rev. Sweet had
finished his sermon, arose in his seat
and cried out: Brothers, have some
thing to say to you. / want to tell you
that there are some hypocrites amongst
you, some men who steal one day and
pray the next. They have tried to ruin
my character by swearing falsely against
me in court for the sake of few paltry
dollars" He then proceeded to heap
curses on three of the members whom
he refrained from naming, but so horrify-
ing the congregation that everybody
rushed from the church.
Thomas is large property owner and
a short time ago lost a suit for damages
against the borough. He threatened to
expose in church the men who he claim
ed had sworn untruthfully about him.
Ashley is greatly excited over the affair.

A Faithful Eskimo Dog,

Fidelity is the chief virtue of the Es-
kimo dog. One of my leaders when
crippled by starvation and overwork had
to be abandoned because he refused to
be carried on the sled. l left him be-
hind feeling as if were tearing myself
away from dear friend, but before we
continued our way l gave him the last
fish we had, depriving ourselves of that
much food. Three days afterward,
while we were encamping at the Eskimo
village of Kahonak, the dog reached us,
having followed our trail with bleeding
feet and emaciated body for eighty five
miles, forty-fve of which consisted of

A Thrilling Scene.

One of the chief incidents OF the
military scene in 'The Cannon Ball Ex-
press" is based upon an actual episode
Of the civil war. The horse of cavalry
man became unmanageable during a
sudden charge and getting the bit in
his teeth, ran away with him.
Even when the order to retreat was
given, the maddened animal continued
his course straight through toward the
opposing lines, and plunged into the ad-
vance of the enemy Then he fell rid
died with bullets, but the rider miracul-
ously escaped without serious injnry,
although his cap was shot off.
All imagined that it was his desire to
forge ahead with such reckless bravery,
and he was hailed as hero with the
courage of the entire Light Brigade con-
centrated within him, until he had ex-
planned that his horse had ran away.

Want RockafeiIow Put in Jail.

Thirty-eight of the depositors in
Rockafellow's bank have formed plan
by which they expect to be able to place
the Wilkes-Barre banker behind the
bars of a cell in the county jail. The
amounts they have lost were not large,
but were the savings of years, the men
being miners, laborers and some small
merchants.
They held private meeting and took
up collection to retain one of the best
lawyers in the city. 1t was resolved
that each one of them should issue a
warrant for the arrest of the banker on
a criminal charge. 1t is supposed that
if this is done Rockafellow will not be
able to furnish enough bail to keep him
out of Jail. He is already under $500
on four charges, and his attorney had
hard work to procure that amount for
him

another practical test on Tuesday, when
the annual election was held there.
Two Of the machines were used. The polls
opened at G. Al a. m. and closed at $50
p. m. A total vote of $50 was cast and
the machines could have registered twice
the number had they been pushed The
average time occupied in the booths was
20 seconds. The shortest time was
seconds, the longest minutes.
In five minutes after the polls were
closed the total result on the whole

New Road BilI.

a bill was introduced in the house at
Harrisburg recently by Representative
Losch, of Schuylkill county, and passed
second reading on Tuesday, entitled,
"An act to enable the tax payers of
townships and road districts to contract
for making at their own expense and
and paying salaries of township or road
district officers and thereby preventing
the levying and collection of road taxes. {"
1t calls for some radical changes in the

of becoming a law.

There was excitement, but il was soon

were finished the good ladies of the dis

ner al only experts at the culinary art can
prepare, was sprt ed. Great baskets were
brought forth and yielded their contents
till the tables literally groaned under the
burden of tempting luxuries. ALI having
partaken TO their hearts content, there
was q social hour which was enjoyed by
all. The school then gave some literary
exercises. Brief addresses were made by
Rev. Yoders, Messrs. Bergert, Whitmier
and Dierdortf, also remarks by the
teacher. About 4 O'Clock the happy
crowd dispersed, each one feeling that the

occurred In this wise: There had been
some petty tbieving going on down there
and the council thought that II should be
stopped. The last act Of the thiefewas to
steal pair of shoes, and that settledit. A
decision was reached at meeting OF the
council, to the effect that something should
be done speedily. The story goes that the
council passed q resolution declaring that
IL somebody would capture and convict
the thief he would be presented $500, In
the currency of the land.
This was good bait for somebody and
there 10 always some one who lis willing
to try his hand at thief catching. In this
instance Jim Ruper was the man who
thought he was about the right sized per-
sonage to make fret class, oil around
detective.
Now it bad been the intention OF the
council to pay 500, when the thief was
caught, but not before. A committee, OF
which the mayor was q member, didn't
quite see IL in that light, but thought the
fellow who had been committing the dep
relations could be caught only by a poll
ished detective, and as there was no one at
hand with sufficient polish, 1t was decided
to polish somebody. Jim Ruper came in
for the polishing, and he got IL. The
committee drew 5000 from the treasury
and gave II To- Jim to go to Pittsburg to
get polished of as great detective. Jim
went to Pittsburg and came back in II
couple OF days with lots Of shine ard an
other detective with him. The two men
looked over the country and finally deciCi-
ed that the fret important step to be taken
was to come to Canton and see IL the thief
could be found. They came here and f. II
in with a lot of young fellows who
we're inclined to bes sporty. II wasn't
long till the Pittsburg thief catcher was
half sens, over and then he made known
bis business and with the assistance of
"Pinkerton Jim, ,ntold the whole story and
said he wanted to go to some place in the
city where stolen goods were received
The boys said they could direct him to
just such place and they directed him to
the white house. or course the detective
found out that he was in the wrong kind
of a "fence.n Well, il doesn't make any
difference so far as this story is concerned
where it happened, but anyway "Pinker-
ton Jim" and his pard went back to
Waynesburg With considerable of the
polish worn of, the $500 gone and the
thief uncaught
Now the good people OF the Republican
town of Wsynesburg are raising howl
about the money, and the other members
of the council repudiate the actions of the
committee. They think it wasn't good
plan to veneer "Pinkerton Jim" at the ex-
pense of the town. There is some talk of
impeachment but it is thought the matter
will blow over. Both "Pinkerton Jim"
and the thief are still at large.
