The Shenandoah correspondent Of the
Pottsville Republican is in error when he
says The Schuylkill Traction Company
has been taking every opportunity lately to
state that il Will not tolerate any Of its
employees 10 meddle ina politics. Some one in
power should have kept his eyes on this
town during the last few days and they
would have cause TO say less about the
matter. OF course, it will be in order now,
since the election is over, TO make another
display of uumpets that we are not in
politics"
The Traction Company has not attempted
TO abrdge the political rights of any Of its
employees SO far as We have been able 60
Judge from anything il has done, or an
nouuced. 1t has however, repeatedly stated
that IL would not allow politics TO influence
the appointment or removal of any employees,
which is a horse Of a color different from the
one the correspondent is attempting to drive.

DR.. J. Harvey Moore, the specialist, who
has met with such phenomenal success during
his stay in this town for the past several
weeks, will leave tomorrow morning for his
home in Scranton. He leaves with the kind
wishes of hundreds of our residents who
have been benefited by his skill as q
specialist in the treatment of the eye ear
nose and nervous system and all the diseases
that affect these organs. During his stay
here the doctor has shown himself to be a
man of strict integrity, and possessed of
those traits that attach him to all with whom
he comes in contact When his great worth
becomes more fully known, by the many
cures he has already effected, there will be
many who now suffer from these diseases who
win regret when ne is gone that they did not
consult him. The doctor has an able assist
ant in the person of his private secretary,
Mr.. J. B. Isherwood. The HERALD has found
them both to be most agreeable gentlemen ia
do business with and can, with much pleasure
recommend them to the newspaper fraternity
at large.

Mr.. Brumm made the same objection that
he did when an attempt was made on Tues.
day to introduce statements made by Amour
in the car. He said there was no evidence
that Briggs and Amour were accomplices, and
if they had been they would have been
indicted jointly and Briggs would not be be-
fore the court indicted alone for murder.
Mr.. Wadlinger maintained that the men
were accomplices and the prisoner would be
bound by Amours declarations proof that
they were or were not accomplices did not lie
in the method OF form of indictment, but in
the fact that Amour and Briggs were members
of the armed body of men.
After exhaustive arguments by Mossrs.
Wadlinger and Brumm Judge Weidmsn de
cided that the statement could not be ad-
mitted, for the present but he would consider
the. question and make a definite decision

MACHINERY ON THE GROUND
The Diamond Drill and Attach

Whether Coal or All Dirt Under

mined.

The diamond drill, with all necessary at
tachments for the sinking of. a hole into the
ground and ascertaining the whereabouts
of the bituminous coal in the earth's bowels,
arrived here last Saturday and per instruc-
lions of the McKinleys. Mr.. Amos Moon at
once commenced to haul the same on the
leased grounds, the particular spot being
about 80 rods southeast of Alfred Moons
residence, below which is located the Ignite
mine. The drilling outfit consists of an eight
horse boiler, a double engine, large four
inch double supply pump. two cylinders and
diamond drill with several hundred feet of
heavy tubing, besides the drill rods and
drill attachments of brass weighing several
hundred pounds. Mr.. Moon has notified the
McKinleys of the arrival of the machinery,
and it is likely that they will arrive here
with their crew, and commence work before
the week has passed away.
