seconds until he put i'll his "gab' and monopolized the conversation. He made his little speech and wound up by saying, Boys, I'm mighty 1 dry, how is it with you all2"
 We had a candidate remark a few i days ago that on last Saturday evening about 6:30 o'clock he left his office togo home for tea. He passed across the street to the corner of Buck Blooms $ saloon. There he was met by heeler who claimed that he was his friend and had been hard at | work during the day with the crowd from out the sticks" and had succeeded in changing a number who before had been opposed to him and ill favor of the other fellow.
 Now" said he, 'set 'em up, old boy, you're all right" slapping him friendly slap on the shoulder. The candidate stated that he took his dear, good friend, who had worked hard for him all day into the saloon for the purpose of giving him q drink, and that no sooner did they step up to the bar than did five more of his good friends, all of whom had been putting in some good licks for him during the day, step up beside him and assure him they were his friends. Useless to say.they all took straight whiskies. 7 This same candidate stated also that before he had reached home that evening he had "set 'em npf to the extent of $935.
 We could mention hundreds of just such cases. and the heeler friend is becoming so common and so brazen that we are not surprised to find that the majority of the candi- dates remain in the woods q greater part of the time.
 Not q barbecue can be had any where over the county without the candidates aid. Every time a plan needs a hondsman. he rushes to the candidates, and SD 1t goes day after day. Poor fellows! Won't they be glad when the election is over? That is those that are elected. May the Lord have mercy upon those who get left If somebody will invent q patent kicking machine he will find ready sale for 1t.

STRIKE IS ended At LAST.
5rickIayers Obtain an Advance of Five
Cents an Hour on Pressed
Brick Work,

At conference held yesterday morn
ing bet ween committees representing
the striking bricklayers and bosses, it
was cidtd that the men would return
to work. The meeting was held in the
office OF Conrad Schroeder in the COM
lnonwealth building
The following notice was issued from
the Union:
The arbitration commit tee of the Brick
Layers Union, No. lS met the briCklaS er
contractors Of this city today and have
agreed upon terms, for the settlement of
their grievances for one year, to the first
of May, 1895. Approved by the president
Of the union. WILLIAM JOHNSON
President.
The workmen aud contractors bad
held conference Saturday MT the
rooms Of the Builders exchange, where
the ultimatum Of the builders was an
nouuced that the men should return at
the old 35-cent scale A compromise
was offered by the men and refused by
the contractors, involving a rate higher
than the old one but less than the rate
demanded by the men when the strike
occurred. The Saturday IN 9etiny nj =
journed without any agreement, but
to reconvene in Mr.. Schroeder's Office,
where the men signiiied their willing
ness to return to work
The future rate will be the same as
the old one, 80 cents an hour, except
that cents per hour additional will be
paid men laying pressed brick
A number of the men will begin
work at once on the new Robinson
building on the South Side. Mr..
Schroeder has number of Pnilldel.
phia bricklayers at work on the brick
foundation pillars for the new Mears
building at the corner of Spruce street
and Washington avenue As long as
they give satisfaction they will be re-
tained.
The result Of the strike is almost a
complete victory for the contractors.
Nothing was gained by the men except
ing the additional 5 cents per hour on
pressed brick. It is quite likely that
this item could have been obtained
without resorting TO the striking meth
DDS. The men have been out about
five weeks

HOPEFUL BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Based on Coal Output, Revival Of Trade
Ia Predicted.


At time when tho whole country Ia
i n the midst of or recovering from o
general financial depression, whichever
way it may individually be considered.
it may be ofinterest for Scranton bust
uess men to know that nearly all tho
mines ran on full time during the last
two weeks in May. According to II
gentleman who is converslnt with coal
matters, the future outlook is bright,
He said:
Following the stimulus given the
anthracite trade AM local buoyancy
given by the May output, comes addi.
tional qualification by reason OF the ac-
tion Of the operators in deciding that
the June output shall b. at least 90
per cent, based on October figures
Up to yesterday the mines have been
running full time and exceeding the
percentage Tnis shows a Quickening
Of trade, not considering the labor
troubles in the soft coal regions.
"While this state OF affairs, ia my
opinion, will not last for any gre +
perio of time, | DO anticipate Il slight
revival OF business generally after this
month. The coal trad" may not ba as
active as since May Is, but it will he
better than for many months previous.
"lp regard to general industry the
coal business is II good barometer.
When finances are disturbed and gen .
eral trade is dull the coal business feelt
and shows it. Just now this barometer
il tending toward the normal and sig
uities better times.
There may ns many Scranton bus.
mess men who DO not take as hopeful II
view Of the situation as l do, yet
firmly believe what l hnvA told you
ana think tulure events will show thai
l have made II correct proSnosticA
tlon.

Property Owners May Prevent the Grad =

Property Owners May Prevent the Grad =
ing of Parker Street.
The board of viewers appointed TO
assess damages in the matter of tho
proposed grading of Parker street, met
in the Office of City Engineer Phillips
last evening for the purpose of listen
ing to the property owners concerned.
Quite mum Der of the latter were pres
ent City Engineer Phillips was also
there and explained the maps as occa
sion required.
The damage claims put in by the
property owners aggregated 81, 900, to
which it is estimated $40 so should be
added for court expenses Those two
items present serious obstacle in the
way of the proI osed improvement, and
it is therefore more than likely that
the street will not be graded as in
tended,
