A STRIKE NOT LIKELY.
President Stringer, Of the Street-Car
Brotherhood, Discusses 1t.

Thomas Stringer, president of the Broth
erhood of Street-railroad Employees, re-
turned yesterday morning from Cleveland,
convention of the national association of
street-railroad men. The association de-
cided 20 affiliate with the American FEEDER
alton of Labor and elected the following
officers: President, w. u. Malone, Co

Ingram. Indianapolis, chairman; George II.
The next meeting will be held in Milwau-
kce in October, 1894, and the constitution
has been SO amended that the headquarters
are wherever the secretary resides.
II do not believe said President String
er, that the present agitation will lead to
to any trouble that will involve inconveni-
ence to the public. This is a bad time to
strike, and we shall have 10 have very
serious causes before striking. The ques-
ton Of strikes was much discussed at the
Cleveland meeting, and the prevailing sem
timent was that every other means of re,
Is undertaken. We believe that our case is
just but the streeJ-oar system is a thing
that involves the comfort and conV enience
of everybody in the city, and before the
public will support us in contest with the
company 1t must be convinced that the
grievance is not only just, but of over
whelming Importance. Both the people and
the press with the exception of the News,
have always treated US with fairness and
consideration, and their confidence Is II
thing OF value to be preserved with care"

HE WANTED HIS SALARY.
Ex-Cadi Buskirk VIII Have to Wait
Until January.

The ex-Cadi, Judge Buskirk, made de-
noand on Controller Woollen yesterday for
all the salary due him. but the Controller
informed the Judge that he. would have to
wait until the next pay day. which Will not
roll around until the second day Of Janu-
ary of next year. The ex-Cadi almost had
q fit He had performed the hard service
for which the money was due. He could
not understand why the money was not
forthcoming. Usually when a man is dis
charged from his job the boss tells him to
go down and get his pay. 1t seemed pretty
much the same way with the ex-Cadi.
Here he had lost his situation and would
have to wait until after several snowfalls
before he could claim what was legally due
hin-by all the gods which "Bill' Iron
sw ears by!
The controller holds that city officials are
only paid by the quarter, and that they
carnot be paid until the quarter expires,
Dec 81 OF course they will not be paid
for the full quarter but only for the time
present quarter began Oct. 1. Clerk Her
rick. of the Board of Safety, clerk Parker
of the Board OF Works. and other employees
come under the same head OF city officers,
and they will also have 10 wait for their
money, even If they lose their positions be-
fore the quarter ends. This will work
somewhat OF a hardship. A petition Is now
TO obtain an opinion from the city attorney
as TO the legality of paying the clerks who
come under the head OF city officers by the
month.

His Strange Methods of Raising .the
Wind Got Him Into Trouble.

George Fesler, whose home is in various
portions of the country. was arrested yes
terday by patrolman Leppert on the charge
of obtaining money under false pretenses.
Fesler, on Thursday night, approached
man named Bowen, residing at No. 6
Paca street, with the proposition to bor-
row the price of car fare TO the stock
yards Bowen was on the point of refusing
the loan when the stranger produced
check on the Indiana National Bank for
1915 signed by "A. c. Moore" Bowen
produced dime and took the check for Sc
curity Yesterday he turned IL over TO the
police who arrested Fesler and locked him
up. The cashier of the Indiana National
stated that the paper was worthless "A.
c. Moore" the signer of the check, is un-
known, and 1t Is thought the name vas
forged. The prisoner was brought before
Police Judge Stubs yesterday morning
and his Gaze continued until next week.
This same Mr.. Fesler came into the Jour
nal Office ON Thursday with the original
proposition that if the business manager
would stake him for a lunch he would
subscribe for the paper for two weeks.

ABOUT APPOINTMENTS.
Another Busy Day for the Mayor
Some of Those Urged for Positions.

Mayor Denny did not have time to go
home for dinner yesterday. He was in his
office from early morn till dewy eve, and
not once did he leave it. The crush of APP
plicants for different positions was simply
enormous. The outer office of the Mayors
chamber was thronged all day long, and as
fast as one man came out from the inner
Office another went in. On the Mayors
desk were stacks of letters. all calling his
attention to the peculiar fitness of the can
didates for the positions they want to FILL
These letters were in relation to every Of
flee that is within the gift of the newly
elected official So great was the accumu-
lation OF correspondence that the Mayor ap-
pointed Col. w. Il. Holloway temporary
secretary guard had TO be stationed at
the door Of the Mayors inside Office so
that the applicants would not crowd upon
each other in obtaining an audience with
Mr. Denny. Most of those who applied in
person wanted TO fill the minor places.
There are over one thousand written appli-
cations, while the huge pile of blank appli-
cations that Clerk Herrick put on his
counter in the morning needed frequent re-
plenishing. Nearly two thousand of these
blanks have been given out within the last
two days. When the crush or applicants
became great in the morning, the Mayor
came out from his office and made a short
but courteous talk. He told those in the Of
flee that he had much work on his
hands that he would have TO decline TO re-
ceive applicants at that time He asked
that those who wanted to see him come
back again after he had disposed OF sew
eral important matters that have to be
settled at once.

The New Mayor Deals with the Ba-
mana PeddIers and Expressmen.
The new Mayor had another talk with
Superintendent of Police Colbert yesterday
morning This talk was in relation to the
enforcement of the law which compels the
banana peddlers to keep moving on Wash
ington street. The superintendent in
structed TO arrest every one that refused
TO keep moving. He was also asked to con-
suit the city attorney and see if, under the
ordinance. the banana peddlers could not
be kept off Washington street. Mr..
Denny thinks the city can refuse the ped
dlers a license if they do not consent to
keep off the main street of the city. These
peddlers have been q. nuisance TO the down.
town merchants Tor several years. In the
afternoon, as a result of the Mayors in
structions, a half dozen of the vendors
were arrested for peddling by station.
The Mayor also considered a complaint
that eXpressmen were standing their We
hicles in the first square south of Washing
ton street, on Mississippi The superin-
tendent was instructed to have them COM
ply, with the law and move south of Ken
lucky avenue

Sad Scene After a Wedding.

On Tuesday G. A. Kuehn, of Wilkes

Florence Krapf, of the latter city.
Among the invited guests was the
mother of the groom. She left Wilkes
Barre in the morning in apparent good
health, but by the time she reached
White Haven became very i'll. When
the train arrived here she was much
worse, but continued on to Hazleton
where she was found to be dangerously
i'll.
She was taken to the Krapf residence,
where the marriage ceremony took place
in the afternoon. At half-past four
O'Clock change came over her, and she
died an hour later. The bride and
groom had taken a train for New York,
where they intended spending their

IN CARLISLE HARRIS CASE.



NEW YORK, Feb 1.-The sensational
murder case of Carlisle Harris, who was
convicted of poisoning his schoolgirl wife,
Helen Potts Harris, which in various
stages has been before the public for a
year. may take another turn if the story
contained in Kingston dispatch is true
1t is to the elect that Lawyer Van Buren,
of that place has evidence to the effect that
Helen Potts was addicted to the use of
opium and morphia and had frequently
threatened to kill herself. Mr.. Van Buren's
wife is a sister to Miss McKinstry, for
mer teacher in Fifth avenue school where
Miss Potts attended.
Miss Mckinstry, in conversation with
Mr.. Van Buren,, informed him of these
facts some time ago. The matter passed
out of his mind until after the affirmance
of the conviction by the court of appeals,
when he went to New York and saw Miss
McKinstry and induced her to 20 to Phila-
delphia, where the principal of the school
now lives, and find out the facts. Miss
McKinstry did this, and on Monday morn
ing Mr. Van Buren, received a note from
her stating that she had had long CONVEX
sation with the principal of the school, who
told her that Miss Potts, the wife of Har-
ris, was addicted to the frequent use of
morphia and opium. and that when the
girl became extremely dissatisfied with the
school or when reprimanded for miscon-
duct repeatedly threatened to kill herself.

For the Wardenship,

The Democratic politicians of the
uppe. end are excited over the contest
that is now being made over a successor
to the warden of the county Jail. The
warden is appointed by the prison com
missioners, who are Barney Burgunder,
of Wilkes Barre, and T. f. Commit, of
Plains, both Democrats, and the county
commissioners, Messrs Evans, Smith
and Dullard, two Republicans and one
Democrat. They will meet some day
this week to select warden.
There are several aspirants but the
general opinion is that Burgunder will
vote for Charles Ritterspaugh OF Wilkes
Barre; Commit for T, F. Quigley, of
Miners Mills, and Dulard for Ziba Van
loon, of Nanticoke. The Republicans,
Evans and Smith, will support Thomas
Haines, the present warden.
There is considerable discussion in
the Democratic ranks, so much in fact
that there is doubt whether the prize
will 90 to one of the party or to Re-
publican. 1t is expected the voting at
first will be a deadlock, and that Bur
gunder will finally go oyer to Quigley.
Smith and Evans will, of course, stand
by Haines, there being no other Repub.
lican candidate in the field. Dullard
however, states openly he will never
vote for Quigley and it is feared that tc
break the deadlock he will go over tc
Haines thus electing him.

Trying to Arrange for a Fight.

A number of sporting men met in town
on Monday evening to make the pre-
liminary arrangements for fight be-
tween 'Strong Boy" Jones, of Freeland,
and Lewis Landmesser, of West Halle
ton. After wasting considerable time
and talk they were unable to come to
any agreement, and the proposed match
fell through. An effort is being made
to have Landmesser come here on Sat
urday evening, when another meeting
of the hackers of the two men will be
held.
Landmesser has number of friends
here who say he will make a harder
fight than he did when "Strong Boy"
whipped him last August, and Jones'
friends are equally positive that their
man can do him in less time than before.
Jones says he is very anxious for another
battle with Landmesser and will meet
him for any sum between $3.50 and $500.

FOR ANNEXATION.
REPRESENTATIVES OF HAWAIPS REV.
OLUTlONISTS HERE.

The Queen Thought to Adopt Arbitrary
tal-The Revolution Peaceful One-she
Will Present a Protest at Washington.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30.-An Hawaiian
steamer arrived with the news of a revolu-
tion at Honolulu and having on board a
commission, headed by l.. A. Thurston,
with petition to the United States gov
ernment to annex the Hawaiian islands to
the United States. Queen Liliuokalani
mas been deposed because Of her attempt to
promulgate new constitution depriving
foreigners of rights of citizenship. Seventy
five per cent of the business in the islands
is owned by American residents and hence
the demand for annexation.
England Refuses Recognition.
The new government called on volun-
teers who assembled, armed, to the num-
Der of 500. The old government surrendered
without striking a blow, although it had
about 400 men under arms and a battery of
Gatling guns. The provisional government
notified the representatives of foreign gov
ernments of the change and asked recog-
milton. 1t was at once granted by all pow
ers except England.
The United States ship Boston landed
about 300 men, who have taken up quarters
on the island and will remain there until
recal led by the government.
The Reason For the Overthrow.
In 1887 almost absolute power was given
the king of Hawaii He could appoint and
dismiss his ministers at will, and no re-
strictions We're placed upon him. This of
course could not last, and the people took
this power away from King kalakaua aud
adopted new constitution, which the
sovereign was obliged to sign The native
element has always chafed under the limi-
tation which was placed on their ruler
Yielding to these mutterings of discon-
tent, the queen attempted to put the old
order of things in force There are too
many Yankees and Englishmen in the
kingdom, however, to submit to this, and
as consequence she finds herself dethroned
and her country practically republic.
What Hawaii Is.
The kingdom of Hawaii consists of Is is
lands in the north Pacific, only eight of
which are inhabited. They are about 2, 100
miles from San Francisco. The population
is ABOUT ou,uUu, ana the total area Is 64O
square miles.
OF the population in 1890, "a, ,436 were ma
tives, 15,301 Chinese 1850 japanese, 5000
Portuguese, 1,92S Americans and l 1884 Brit
ish Nine-tenths of the trade of the islands
is with the United States. The exports
consist mainly of sugar, rice, bananas and
hides.
Honolulu, the capital on the island of
Oahu, is lighted by electricity and nearly
every leading family in the town has its
telephone In 1890 295 vessels visited the
islands. The naval and military forces of
the islands consist of the household guards,
fixed at IS men. There are no volunteer
military ORGANIZATIONS
