~ The Democrats of Carbon
county held convention at Maueh
Chunk on Monday, for the nomination
of President Judge. Hon. Allen
Craig, of Maueh Chunk, received a
unanimous vote with power to select
conferrees. Carbon is clearly entitled
to the Judgeship, as Monroe has held
the office for twenty-five years. 1t is
supposed the Republicans will not
place in nomination q candidate, and
Mr., Craig will receive the entire vote
of the county.-Catasaqua Dispatch.
6B- We are pleased to note that the
Democratic County Convention, held
at Mauch Chunk, Pa, last Monday,
gave our old friend, Hon. Allen Craig
the unanimous nomination for Presi-
ding Judge, and also empowered him
to appoint his own conferees. The
prospects now look bright for his nom.
ination by the district, which is com
posed of the counties of Carbon and
Monroe.-Dover, N. j., Index.

Attention is frequently called 10 the
neglect of the supervisors i'm several
townships to erect finger boards at
public cross roads. a little travel
through the country districts Of the
county will show that the law which Is
mandatory receives little consideration
il the absence of finger boards NAV be
accepted as an evidence of the fact. In
some townships the Is law carefully car
ried out. Unfortunately the number
is not large. The proper authorities
should bring the negligent and defiant
supervisors to a realizing sense Of their
duty, Finger boards should be erected
at every public cross roads.

Saturday. He was engaged erecting a
twenty-five foot monument for Judge
Price, in the cemetery in Upper Mauch

some miscalculation that structure
fell with crash-the force of the fall
throwing Binder over the cemetery
walls down on to the tracks of the
Switchback railway. He went through
the air with frightful velocity. and his
Mortified fellow workmen expected TO

was fortunately not the case. On ex-
animation it was found that his left
thigh and right arm we're fractured.

Dealer on the East Market.

w. A. Bonner. q dealer at the market, oc-
cupyinR q miserable apartment at No. SO
North Alabama street, was taken violently
i'll early yesterday morning and died be-
fore a physician could be summoned. The
coroner viewed the remains. but could
arrive at no definite conclusion of the cause
of death and ordered an autopsy. which was
held by the ~dispensary physicians. The

analysed. Bonner was a German. ifty-slx
years old and lived alone. He has q
daughter residing with his brother at
Columbus, Ind, who came on yesterday TO

Bonner died. but can assign no cause. By
those who knew the dead man 1t is be-
lheved be committed suicide. 1t is claimed
that he was much enamored of Lille John

She Will Retire from the Board of Trustees of
the Female Reformatory.

Mrs. I. A. Hendricks. president of the
Board of Trustees of the Woman's Prison
and Female Reformatory. some weeks ago
sent to the Governor her resignation as q
member of the board. She has been for
many years president of the board. and, as
such. has been q dominant factor in the
remarkably successful conduct of the in
stitution. Her reasons fo- resigning are
understood 20 be the belief that her long
service has entitled her to relief from the
arduous duties and responsibilities of the
position. DURING her long connection with
the board she has devoted q great deal of
time and intelligent thought to the work.
and has contributed largely in MAKING the
reformstory "A model Institution.

begging Mrs. Hendricks to withdraw her
resignation. but she has held hrmly TO her
resolution to retire. and the Governor Is
now casting about for o new m of
