SMALLPOX on ShiDboard.

Quarantine, S. l., Oct. 16.-The
steamer Kronprins Frederick Wilhelm
from Naples, with eight cabin and
499 steerage passengers on board.
was detained at Quarantine owing to
the detection on passing the passen-
gers of a suspicious case in the person
of a steerage passenger. Deputy
Health Officers Talmadge and Sanborn
were of the opinion that the patient
suffered from smallpox. Drs. Dilling-
ham and Benedict of the New York
health department, both experts in the
handling of epidemic diseases, were
called in, and after thorough eXamina-
tion confirmed the diagnosis. The pas
senger having been found mingling
with his fellow passengers exposing all
to the disease, the whole number of
the steerage passengers will be vac
cinated and transferred to Hoffman
island to await the development of the
disease for a period of fourteen days.
The cabin passengers will be disinfect.

WE DENOUNCE PROTECTION As A FRAUD, A

While Hines is denying all connection for

he was heavily paid by the lace mills for work
done in their behalf This is not an insiuua-
ton, but matter that is boldly talked OF and

Hines so far forgot his duty to his party us to
accept an attorney fee from Il lace company
that wanted higher duties on imported lace
curtains. As congressman he voted for the
Wilson bill, but as the paid attorney of IA lace

FRIGHTENED WITH A RAZOR.
Sad Death of Young Woman at
East Kingston. n. Ill.

Amesbury, Mass, Oct. ia sensa-
tional death has just come to light
here, the facts of which have been
guarded since Tuesday last. John GILL
an industrious farmer, resides at Ken
sington, N H., about three miles north
of here. On Friday, Oct. 5, his daugh-
ter Miss Frances, a bright girl of 10
years, went to East Kingston, to visit
some friends and while there a5young
man named Brown, a boarder at the
house came into the room where Miss
Gill was and commenced to shave him
self. After few minutes had elapsed
he took his razor and playfully made
pass at the girl, saying that he was
going to cut her hair off having min
ute before asked her how she would
like to be shaved. As he started to-
ward her, she gave a scream, and
throwing up her hands, fell to the floor
in a swoon, at the same time her right
hand came in contact with the sharp
razor, cutting the palm of it. In spite
of all efforts she died the following
Tuesday from the effect of the sudden
fright and from the sight of blood on
her hand. Mss Gill had been a sufferer
from heart trouble for several years
past. While in one respect blame can
be attached to the young man, the fact
of the girl having been so long a suf-
ferer from heart trouble, any sudden
fright, in the opinion of physicians,
would have probably caused her death.

May Have To Close Down the Courts

Trenton, N. J., Oct. 16.-The criminal
trials in Mercer county may have to be
indefinitely postponed owing to the
condition of the county treasury and
the existence of dual boards of free
holders. Money is needed for the ac-
tual county expenses particularly the
paying of witnesses fees, but the banks
will not loan either board any money.
Justice Albeit has suggested that both
boards Jointly authorize the borrowing
of money in which event the banks
would be legally protected and would
furnish the money needed. If this is
not done the business of the court will
cease and prisoners awaiting trial will
have to stay in Jail indefinitely.

Politics IN TIVE ANTIpopEs.
Radical Measures in Naw Zealand
and New South wales.

Radical Measures in N"W Zealand
and New South Wales.
Vancouver, b c., oct. 16.-The steam
ship Arawa which has arrived from
Australia, Fiji and Hawaii, brings in
teresting advices from the antipodes.
The new South Wales legislature has
passed a resolution by an oVerwhelm-
ing majority in favor of extending the
franchise to women Notice has also
been given by Sir Henry Parker that
on Nov. 13 the following motion will be
made: THAT in view of the rapid
growth of Australia in the elements of
national life and the number of ques-
tions arising out of that growth, which
can be only dealt with adequately by a
national Legislature it is in the highest
sense desirable that parliament with
out loss of time should resume the con-
sideration of the federation of these
colonies under one national govern
ment."
The New Zealand government pro-
pose what is called the cheap money
scheme, which briefly means that the
government shall borrow FL 100000 in
London every year for advances to
farmers at the rate of 5 per cent. The
scheme limits advances on freeholds to
two-thirds of their value and on leases
to half of the lesee's interests.
In the legislative assembly on Sept,
- during discussion in committee of
the peace preservation bill, introduced
by the government to put down the
lawless outbreak occasioned by the
strike, a great scene of confusion en-
sued ending in the suspension of seven
labor members. Mr.. classy appealed
to the government to appoint COM
mittee, with the object of endeavoring
to settle the strike. The government
was willing to accept several amend
ments from the opposition If the first
six clauses of the bill We're allowed to
stand. Mr.. Classy would not accept
a line of the bill and absolute disorder
ensued. Several members asked to be
allowed to make an explanation, but
the chairman threatened to name all.
Nearly all the labor members rose to
their feet and general disorder ensued,
amidst cheers and cries of "the brutal
government" etc. When order was re-
stored the premier moved that the
chairman leave the chair and report
no progress. Before the chairman
could put the motion several members,
who had become obstreperous, were re-
moved

Exciting Republican Primaries.

Newark, N. j., Oct. 16.-The republi-
can primaries throughout Essex county
last night were the most exciting held
in years. Fights occurred in many
precincts and several arrests were
made. Assemblyman Elsie, who was
opposed by many corporations because
of his anti-monoply course in the last
Legislature, carried his district. He
had to contend against the leaders in
his own party as we'll as the corpora
tions. DR.. H C. Herald, who is out
against the regular organization, swept
his district, The contests were all fac
tional and 1t is conceded that the entire
delegation will favor General Sewell
for United States senator.

New York, Oct. 16.-It was reported
that the Northern Pacific company had
lost the lease of the Chicago terminals
to the Baltimore & Ohio. The officials
of the Northern Pacific are in no alarm
over the matter, as they are confident
that there will be found some memo
randum of the contract with the Balti-
more & Ohio. The use of the Chicago
terminals is so important to the Balti-
more & Ohio that no fears are enter
tanned that the Baltimore & Ohio will
not continue to use the terminals and
pay the rental agreed upon in the lease.

Columbus. O., Oct. 16.-An audience
of about five thousand people greeted
Gov. Mckinley at the Fourteenth reg
ment armory last evening where he
made his first and to be his only speech
here in the present campaign. There
We're many ladies present and a glee
club sang campaign songs Three hun
dred students from the State university
applauded occasionally with the col
lege yell Ex-Attorney General George
K. Nash presided. Governor McKin-
ley's speech, for the most part, fol-
lowed the one made at Findlay three
weeks ago very closely.

Legality of Pastors.

Albany, Oct. ia labor representa-
tive called at the encouragement s
office and inquired whether or not 1t
would be possible to vote for the con-
stitutional amendments by paster bal
lot. He was told by the clerk in the
office to submit his question In writing
when an opinion would be prepared
by the attorneygeneral. The object
of the use of the paster is to enable
the illiterate voter to prepare his bal
lot before he goes into the booth, Sc
that he may vote intelligently.

Editor Steel, of the Minersville
Free Press, is another Democrat who
prefers to see Republicans sent to
congress instead of men who are
Democrats only in name. In oppos.
ing Congressman Reilly, whom he
claims has almost wrecked the party
in Schuylkill, he says; Democrats be
true to your party by refusing to
vote for your party's worst enemy" 4"
That is sound advice, and applies to
the Democrats of Luzerne as truly as
it does to their Schuylkill brethren.
Let no man escape who has been un-
faithful to his constituents in con-
gress.

No Doubt of 1t,

From the Wilkes Barre Telephone.
The emphatic condemnation of Con.
gresham Hines in the FREELAND TRI.
BUNE, coming as it does from an honest
and staunch Democratic organ, will
arouse responsive action among honest,
upright citizens irrespective of party,
who are tired supporting blatant, worth,
less demagogues for responsible positions
of trust and honor. There need be no
doubt but that Hines the bogus Demo
crat and the bogus friend of labor will
be relegated to political oblivion at the
coming election.

was brought to trial before Judge
freedman in the superior court. The
action Is one brought in the name of
Nesbitt V. Davenport, who for some
years was the confidential bookkeeper
IN the employ of the Cordage trust at
a salary of fourteen hundred dollars
year. against George B. Hume. The
amount involved in the action is $780,,
900. 1t is claimed that on April 2S,
1892, while Davenport was employed as
the confidential bookkeeper of the
trust he entered into an agreement
with Hulme, in consideration of Il
promise made by the latter to give him
100000, and also to sell him 5000 shares
of the stock of the Cordage trust, to
reveal to him all the inside facts con-
cerning the financial standing of the
trust for four years, and, in fact, to
tell all the secrets of the corporation,
which would be of great value to him
in financial way. Davenport says he
did this and gave list of the divi-
dends of the company, of which the
following is copy:
March 20, 1885. $237 900
September 27, 1889. 100000
January 8, 1891. l............... 100000
April 3, 1871 S9i................... 100000
April 3, 1881 l................... 100000
july l, 1881 .................... $4,000
November l, 1891 1............. 100000
A statement of the profit and loss
account of the trust showed the total
loss of the corporation to be $3,O17,-
992.42. The account Is as follows:
l..
profit, $2S7, ,313.e7 January l. 1888, to
July 8, 1888, loss, $2l7,414.49. August 1,
1883, to July 81, 1888, profit, 1869, 259 a.
August l, 1889, to July 81, 1890, loss,
$2,9S7 64S.S3 The slip of paper contain
ing these items was handed over to
Iiulme two days after the contract
was made. Now Davenport insists
that inasmuch as he carried out his
part of the contract Hulme should be
compelled to pay him the contract
price for the bargain. The claim of
Davenport is disputed on the ground
that the contract is an immoral one
and against the statute of frauds,
and the outcome of fraud and CON
spiracy. Moreover, it is alleged that
he did not carry out the contract to
the letter, because the statement
which he gave did not contain a true
statement of the financial standing of
the trust On these defenses it is in
sisted that Davenport cannot recover
in an action at law. The receivers
have been subpoenaed to show their
books, in order that it may be found
how near right DaVenport's informa-
tion was. After hearing some testi-
mony, Judge Freedman held that a
servant in confidential capacity had
no right to sell the secrets of his EN-
ployer, and dismissed the case. The
plaintiffs attorney took the usual ex-
ceptions, and gave notice of appeal.
