THE SUGAR QUESTION.
Free-Trade Democrats Working In the In.
 terests of Trusts.

Free-Irade Democrats Working In the In-
 terests of Trusts.
 The American people are practically interested in everything relating to the cost and the consumption of sugar. 1t enters directly into the domestic economy of every family. The in crease or decrease of one or two cents in 8 pound is felt immediately from one end to another of this broad land.
 It has been our misfortune that we have been almost entirely dependent for this staple of life upon the importa- tions from foreign countries. In case of war, quarantine or other unforeseen disasters, Giminution of the supply would cause scarcity, increase prices here and bring much suffering Be- cause of this fact our wisest statesmen have long sought by all proper means to foster its production, more especial ly in Louisiana. Unfortunately, how ever, it has been found impossible to raise it there i'll competition with the coolie and slave labor of Cuba and other countries.
 Within recent years experiments have shown that sugar could be made from sorghum cane, and a considerable industry has been developed in Kansas and other western states where farm CTS have produced large quantities of this article. More recently still the development of the beet root sugar in- dustry has been fostered in nearly every state between the Mississippi and the Pacific. Various states have passed laws facilitating this work; ex- tensive plants for the manufacture of sugar have been erected and farmers throughout this area have suddenly found themselves favored with a good and cash market for a large and very important crop.
 The Mckinley bill recognized all these conditions and at the same time gave full weight to the fact that sugar must beJree. To be sure, sugar is used by the rich, but an increased price caused by duties would not be so gen. erally felt by them as by the middle and poorer classes. The problem was to make sugar cheap and keep it cheap, and, at the same time, foster cane, sorghum and beet root products, with view to making us, partially at least, independent of foreign countries, and give our farmers an additional crop and product.
 The success of this plan has been

 It cannot be denied that momentary conjecture as to whether she should ever see horse or rider again was re- fiected in the woman's eyes, and that Tom saw it.
 What she said, however, was: God bless you!' and Toms reply was: "Keep up good courage"
 He made off as fast as he could, and soon after came flashing past her, bareback, with a wave of his hand and u smile, whereupon, after watching him out of sight, she said, with sigh: "So like Johnr'

They were sensible, quiet people, and their stout lumber wagon and other equipments seemed to indi- cate that Mir. Hadley was the plainest of ranchmen, whereas in fact he was multi-millionaire.
 The young fellow who was so much like John struck into the mountain road and went due east at venture. :If this doesn't fetch him I'll turn and go west" he said. That woman de- serves better husband than one of

Poisoned by Mulberries.

EUFAULA, I. T., June s.-As a result of eating mulberries two families have been entirely broken up. Last week the families of two farmers living near Eufaula, named C. H. Timmons and Tom Waugh, ate lot of mulberries that they had gathered, and in a short while they were all taken suddenly i'll. A physician was called and pronounced it case of poisoning, there having been locust eggs in the berries. Tim mons and Waugh have both died, and several of each family are very low and not expected to live. The symptoms are identically the same as those of Asiatic cholera.

Tarin Delay.

Do sensible men anywhere believe that the democrats want to hurry the tariff bill to completion, when it is affording them such great oppoI tuni- ties for making fortunes? The private secretary of senator said, few days ago, that the senator whom he repre- sented had cleared one million dollars by speculating in sugar and whisky since the bill came to the senate. It is an easy matter to shift the condi- tions of the bill so as to change the price of stocks on exchange in New York, thereby enabling the manipula- tors here to have the advantage of in- formation in advance of all others. We need not expect the tariff bill to be brought to final conclusion until those speculatively inclined have made all the money they want, or through fear of exposure concluded to close the matter up.

Caustic Wit of an English Judge.

Lord Bowen, besides being great fudge, was great wit. How happy, for instance, was the amendment he pro- posed when the judges were drawing up an address to the queen on the oc- casion of her majesty's jubilee. Con scious as we are of our shortcomings. " said the address; conscious as we are of one another's shortcomings" sug- gested Lord Bowen.
 Not long ago Lord Bowen was called upon, it is said, to sit in the admiralty court. Upon taking his seat he asked indulgence on account of his inexpe- rience in admiralty business. And may there be no moaning at the bar," he added, ''when l put out to sea-" Sometimes his wit was very incisivc- as, for instance, when he remarked: Truth will out. even in an affidavit" {" -Westpiinster Gazette,

 When the young Samaritan" re- turned at last, it was in new role.
 He now personated Billy. the miss ing horse. He had hitched Dick to one side of the wagon tongue, and had taken the other side himself, and was keeping hold of the tongue and steer ing the craft.
 Mrs. Hadley sat in the wagon, driv- ing the ill-assorted span, laughing and crying hysterically.
 "Whoa! Let me out" she exclaimed, climbing over the wagon wheel and hastening to her husbands side. She was not able at all to control herself. She laughed and cried for the next two or three hours Her husband lay in the wagon under the cold stars of June, and she sat on the seat and urged her two abreast" across the ta- ble land and up the rough hills and down through the valleys to the near est town. The jaded Tom was fain to  ask as he strained and pulled How many miles to Babylon?" but, like a meek and patient horse, refrained.

 It neared midnight as the strange team drew up in Elsmore.
 "l'll have the fun of writing home about this" the off beast of the team said to himself as he dropped the wagon tongue. "Of course they won't believe a word of 1t, but they may be interested in it as work of fiction"
 That this nights exertion proved a cruel strain on Tom, there is no deny ing. But it was not until his charge was safe in surgeons hands and do- ing well that he succumbed and took to his bed. As soon as possible he was about again anxious to assist.
 By this time there had sprung up a strong attachment between himself and the Hadleys. Little by little they gathered his history. One of a family of eight, he had worked hard for ap

 toying Prosperity.
 MONTGOMERY, Ala, June s.-Secre- tary of the Navy Hillary A. Herbert left Montgomery yesterday on his re- turn to Washington. He had been down to his home, Greenville, for the purpose of registering so as to vote in the next elections. He said to a re- porter that he hoped the tariff bill would become law this month. When it gets through the senate, conference committee would soon settle all the differences between the two houses and soon thereafter it would become a law. When it did, business would re- vive and it would have a good effect in restoring confidence and in getting things down to their normal condition again. Of course it would be gradual, but there would be a general restora- tion of good times and the country would soon again be prosperous and contented. He had only encouraging hopes for the future, and spoke in high est praise of the conduct of the people of the south through all the hard times.

 The six-footer laughed as he repeated old lady Dawson's words: Toms a frail flower"

 ''Is it a coyote? Nobody seems to know here whether a coyote ever howls GOT no. But mountain lion-they are certain mountain lion 'snarls.' l think I'll move on.'
 The sound came again. It was artic- -ulate this time. Surely no mountain lion could so far forget himself as to call out "Hello!" He paused and turned himself about. Then he heard it again. Help! Help! Hello! Hello eo-o!"
 Just beyond clump of live oaks, Tom at last fancied he saw the tiutter- ing of gray skirts.
 ''Coming" he shouted, breaking into a run, and in another minute brought up face to face with pale, bareheaded woman.
 She looked at him timidly an instant, then spoke: "Can you help me? My husband IS lost! We were camping out Mir Hadley and l." she continued, pointing off to wooded slope where Tom could dimly discern a large wagon and horse staked out under the trees.
 He went to look up some insect or some flower, forget which, and said he should not be gone fifteen minutes. That was three hours ago"
 Did he wallS?" asked Tom.
 "No, he took one of the horses"
 (Which way did he go?" asked Tom.
 "l don't know-theres the trouble. I was half asleep in the wagon and never looked up. I only said: Don't be gone long, and MT. Hadley replied: Not more than fifteen minutes"
 Three hours. Tom thought of cat amounts and Mexican greasers. He remarked soothingly: Well, if Mir. Hadley is anything of naturalist, I dare say he has got interested and for gets the flight of time"
 No, O no!' she replied. "You don't know him. He wouldn't forget for a moment that am afraid to stay alone here. It was some especial bug he wanted, and he knew just where to go for it. Something has happened. Can you help me?" She laid her hand on Toms arm, tears suddenly overflow ing her eyes.
 It had always been said of Tom Par lin that nobody ever relied on him in vain. It was nearly sunset now, and he had a good six miles to walk to reach Elsmore. He replied with alac- rity: "I probably can, madam-certain- 2y. am wholly at your service" and

Extraordinary HaiIstorm.

VIENNA, June S.-The worst hail. storm that ever visited this city com menced at o'clock yesterday morning. Dense copper-colored clouds rose with alarming rapidity. The wind drove the dust in columns to the height of four-story houses, then the hail began to fall and covered the city in a short time to the depth of six to eight inches. In less than fifteen minutes the city looked as if it had undergone bonn bardment. It is estimated that 100, 900 windows were broken. Many persons were severely bruised by the hail.

The Northwest Flood Damage.

PORTLAND, Ore, June S.-No accur- ate estimate of the damage by floods along the Columbia and Willamette river can be made. It is certain, how ever, to run into millions of dollars. The entire northwest, including Idaho, Washington and Oregon and British Columbia is virtually shut off from the east by the floods. The Canadian Pa cifc roads have been washed out for hundreds of miles, and it will require weeks to repair the damage when the water goes down.

Judge Woodward on Tuesday heard
argument in the case of the Lehigh
Traction Company against the Diamond
Water Company, Of Hazleton, for a per
manent injunction to restrain the latter
from shutting of the water supply,
The case is an interesting one. The
boilers at the Traction Company's works
are furnished with water by the water
company's mains and few days ago,
owing to the scarcity of the supply, the
company shut off the water, and, of
course, the Traction Company could not
run its full number of cars.
The Traction Company claims it has
a contract with the Water Company to
furnish certain amount daily and that
they are suffering heavy financial loss
from the supply being shut off. They
therefore ask for a permanent injunction
restraining the Water Company from
shutting off the supply.
Judge Woodwork took the papers and
will hand down decision in a few days.

James j. Kennedy, of Main street, a
brakeman on the D. S. q s., was shot by
young man named Harry Letcher, of
Cranberry, on Friday morning. Letcher
was out on hunting expedition and
was standing near the railroad track
when engine 10 came along with a train
of coal cars. Kennedy was on the rear
end of the train and when passing waved
his hand at Letcher. The latter imme-
diately raised his gun and fired. The
weapon was loaded with fine shot and
Kennedy received the contents in the
right side of his face and head. Some of
the shot lodged dangerously near his
eyes, and it is considered miraculous
that his sight was not destroyed. Mr.
Kennedy is suffering considerably from
the pain caused by the shots, but the in
jury will not prove fatal.
The injured brakeman was taken to
McClure's drug store in Hazleton, where
his wounds were dressed by DR.. Cole,
after which he went before Alderman
Laubach and swore out warrant for
Letcher's arrest. officers went in search
of the hunter, but before they found
him he had appeared before Squire
Jones, of West Hazleton, and had given
himself up. He was then released upon
his own recognizance until the following
day, the time set for a hearing,
Letcher was given his hearing yester-
day at Hazleton. He admitted doing
the shooting, but claims it was not inten-
tional, that he had forgotten the gun
was loaded. He was placed under
$1,000 bail to explain the case in court.
The d. S. Il S. Company propose to pro-
secute the careless hunter to the full
extent Of the law, as interference with
the trains has become too common on
the South Side.
F. II. McGroarty, another trainman,
who was standing near Kennedy at the
time of the shooting, received some of
the charge in the leg, but not enough to
cause any serious damage,

Skull Fractured in "a Fight,

From the Hazleton Standard.
Tresckow was the scene of bloody
atfray on Sunday night, which may add
another murder to Carbon county IS
criminal calendar. A number of Hun
garians had been drinking all day and
on their way home INDUCED in a rough
and tumble fight. John Dorning, a
young Hungarian, happened along and
seeing friend of his being beaten, took
up large stone and struck John Ster-
inky on the forehead, fracturing his
skull. At the sight of blood oozing from
Sterinky's ears, nose and mouth, the
beligerents dispersed.
The injured man was picked up and
an examination revealed compound
fracture of the skull. The physicians
fear the fellow cannot recover, though
an effort was made to reduce the frac-
ture.
Captain Simpson was detailed on the
case and arrested Dorning and James
Rimyack, but the latter was released, as
there was no evidence against him.
Dorning was committed to Carbon coun-
ty Jail to await the result of Sterinky's
injuries. John Shalokof, who took a
prominent part in the fight, made his
escape when he learned he was to be
placed under arrest.

SUPERVISORS ARRESTED.
CHARGED WITH EMBEzZLING FUNDS
OF HALLE TOWNSHIP.

1t Is Alleged They Have UnIawfuIIy
Drawn Pay at the Rate of 81 per Day
for Their services-E. A. oberrender,
of Drifton, the Prosecutor.
Patrick Sharkey, of Lattimer and
Daniel Connor, of GAINESVILLE, super
visors of Halle township, were arrested
yesterday upon warrants sworn out by
E. A. Oberrender, of Drifton, charging
them with embezzlement in that on
March 10 last and at divers times there
after they drew orders on the treasurer
of Halle township at the rate of 80 per
day for their services as supervisors,
whereas the law allows them only Sl.5O
per day. The amount overdrawn rs
claimed to be about $3.50 each.
The hearing was had before Alderman
Laubach, of Hazleton, last evening.
The supervisors entered bail in the sum
of S4OO each for their appearance at
court. d. j. Mccarthy appeared for
the commonwealth, and Frank Need
ham, Esq, for the accused supervisors.
For the past few years appeals have
been taken out by Coke Bros. q Co.
against the reports of auditors and other
officers of that township, but the charge
made yesterday seems to indicate that
work upon new line of action will be
taken for the future, and instead of
having the amounts surcharged against
the supervisors at the end of their terms
they will have to answer the charge
before they go out of office.
Supervisors have drawn pay at the
rate of 50 Or more per day for many
years in Halle and other townships, and
if this charge of embezzlement can be
sustained it will make this office of still
less profit to the men who are elected.
Attorneys who have been spoken to
on the subject state that while they
consider 81 day little enough for the
supervisors, yet the plaintiff will have
clear case if the charge can be proven.
as the law distinctly says that 81 80
shall be the rate paid for each day

Four Mon NarrowIy Eseape.

A peculiar accident, nearly resulting
in the loss of four lives, took place on
Monday in the Keystone collery at
Millbrook, above Wilkes-Barre. The
woods in the vicinity were burning
tiercely, and about o'clock a change of
the wind swept dense clouds of smoke
down upon the coliery. Soon after
twenty men, in an upper gangway of
the mine, were startled by a body of
smoke sweeping through the workings.
With cry of ''the mine is on fire" a
dash was made for the bottom of the
shaft and when they gathered there,
there were only SIXTEEN four had fallen
suifocated along the gangway.
The alarm was quickly sent to other
parts of the mine and soon all the men
except the four unfortunates were safe
on the surface. They were Polish labor
ers, James Stefensky, Mike Arnot, John
Masoto and John Batski. 1t was some
time before the mine foreman realized
what the smoke in the mine was caused
by. He found that it was drawn into
the workings by the intake draft of the
air shaft. The fans were quickly re-
versed and rescuing party organized to
recover the bodies of the men, for it was
supposed they would be dead
After proceeding with great difficulty
they came upon the men lying uncon-
scious in dip in one of the breasts,
where they had been partly protected
from the smoke. They were hastily
taken to the surface and after some
trouble were revived
