A Pool Game for $1,000.

A game of continuous pool for $500 a
side took place at the American Athletic
Club, Scranton, on Monday, between
Jerome Keogh, of Scranton, and Grant
Eby, of Harrisburg, the former winning
by score of 200 to 9S. Eby broke the
balls in the first frame, but left them
easy and did not secure any of them.
He played in hard luck while Keogh
was careful and took no chances. The
latter was 81 to his opponents 6 at the
end of the third frame. Keogh con-
tinued to increase his lead, but Eby
gained lots of applause by some of his
fancy shots. Beginning the tenth frame
Eby began to regain his stroke and
Keogh fell off a bit.
The fourteenth and fifteenth frames
threw Eby back, Keogh securing the
thirty balls. From this point Eby had
no chance, Keogh making eleven breaks
and leaving the white ball so safe that
Eby could make nothing. The latter
took a chance in the twentieth frame
and broke the spheres up on a combina-
ton, but he missed and Keogh, taking
advantage of the open balls, ran twelve
and the game.

Jacob Siepler, an old farmer from Dal-
las, is lying at the point of death from
asphyxiation. Mr.. Seipler went to
Wilkes-Barre on Saturday to visit his
friend, Nathan Dotter. He retired at
IL O'Clock on Saturday evening. Mr.
Dotter accompanied him to his room in
order to explain to him about turning
out the gas. The next morning Mr..
Seipler did not answer to his friend g
call and Mr.. Dotter, smelling gas, burst
open the door and found the jet had
been left open all night. The man was
unconscious, and his life was nearly ex-
tinct. Physicians were summoned and
have been working over him since, and
there are but small hopes of his recovery.

HIGHLAND DOTS.

The slack time has no effect upon the
christenings or weddings now any more

christening took place here and quite a

were in attendance. All sorts of drink,
both mild and crazy, were in abundance,
but judging from the noise made, it is
safe to say the mild drink was dead

A Valuable Relic.
From the Philadelphia Times.


William d. Fry of Drfton, son of
General Fry, the alderman, of Allen
town, claims to have relic second to
none in this country except the Declara-
ton of Independence. Next to the De-
claration is the Liberty Bel, but Mr..
Fry has ring that was made out of the
iron that fell from the crack of the bell.
Mr.. Fry's ancestors at one time lived
in Independence Hall and were the
custodians of the historic structure. He
has an affidavit establishing a perfect
chain of authenticity as to the ring. 1t
is the only relic from the bell itself
known to be in existence. Mr.. Fry is
relative of Mrs. Nelson Wieser, who
gave him piece of wood from the beam
on which the Liberty Bell rested in the
old Iion's Reformed church in Allen
town.

STABBED HIS RIVAL.
Jealousy Causes Young Pole to Cut the
Throat of a Countryman.

Elick Cashoe, young miner of
Georgetown, near Wilkes-Barre, is lying
at the point of death with fractured
skull and an ugly cash across his throat
and all because he was successful in win
ing the affections of Anna Kilcavage, a
pretty Polish girl of Whiskey Hill. For
him she threw over John Barrish, an
other young miner, who had been a
most ardent suitor for her hand
Barrish, when he heard of Cashoe's
success, swore that he would have re-
venge upon his rival, and he kept his
word. On Monday night Cashoe re-
ceived a note asking him to meet a num-
ber of friends at Barrish's boarding
house and spend the night with them in
celebrating payday. Suspecting moth
ing Cashoe went out at once.
Half way down the road he was met
by Barrish and his brother, Mike, they
greeting him with GOOD night, Flick"
He responded, and just as he passed he
was felled to the ground by terrific
blow from fence picket in the hands
of John Barrish. One of them drew a
knife across his throat lnhictiIg a severe
cash.
Cashoe lay for some time on the
ground before he was discovered by
passers-by and carried home. As he
regained consciousness for a short
time and told who his would be MUIR
derers were, they were arrested and
committed to Jail by Squire Morrisey to
await the result of their victims in
iuries.

man handed down an opinion declaring
the nominations filed by set of Repub-

In its opinion the court states that
aside from the violation of party rules
the nominations were illegal from the
fact that only two of the five districts of
the township were represented at the
meeting the conferrees, when they nomi-
mated the entire township ticket.

WHY | AM A 6OLTER.

The Eckley correspondence of Tues
days Standad contained the following:
Some of the Democratic candidates for
township honors canvassed the town on
Saturday and Sunday and report that
Mr.. McGee, who was defeated at the
-,recent Democratic convention, was open
ly boiling the ticket" and adds, ''the
friends of Mr.. McGee here regret this
action and hope that better Judgment
will prevail"
Mr.. Editor, in days gone by bolting
the ticket meant treason to the party
and political death, but thanks to the
evolution of politics and the develop
ment of modern methods, the party
bolter of yesterday is the party hero of
today. If boiling is a crime he who aids
or abets the bolter is equally guilty. If
boiling is wrong in 1894 it was equally
wrong in 1893 and in 1889.
| have denounced boiling in 1889
when my successful competitor was bolt
in Halle township. | have denounced
boiling in 1898 when Mr. Quinn and Mr..
Gallagher, nominees for supervisor and
school director, respectively, were bolt
ing in Foster township l have de-
nounced boilers and everything in con-
nection Herewith in the columns of the
TRIBUNE in February, 1898, but my
party has ruled otherwise.
The recent Democratic convention has
legalized and placed the seal of its APP
proyal on boiling by dealing out the
loaves and fishes to the boilers of the
recent past.
Yes, Mr. Editor, with due Difference
to the wishes of my Eckley friends"
the year of our Lord 1894, finds me
PROSTATE penitent at the foot of the
Democratic cross retracting my heresy
Boiling is right. The Democratic
party in convention assembled has
said sos Yes, dear Friends" you
have evidently been taking nap
on the Rip Van Winkle plan and you
awoke democratic back mum bers) in
sisting on the conditions and rejected
theories of the dismal past Bolting is
not only justifable but commendable.
This may seem very strange and un-
called for assertion to many Of your
readers, but in all seriousness it is true
Why am l upbraided for bolti ig?
What is this indefinite something we
call a party that assumes to control my
will and reason, yes, my soul? Is the
citizen the creature of the partyP Who
Democratic thought and control Demo-
cratic action in Foster township today?
They are the men who, Judas-like, be-
stow the kiss of Democratic fellowship
and stealthily stab their victim in the
dark when their selfish interests de-
mand it. They are men who, in the
language of the ancients, 'are in it for
what's in it, who know nothing of Demo
cratic principles and care less.
But | am deviating somewhat from
the question. | am accused of boiling
Now what are the facts and logical deduc-
tions? In the last analysis we find that
one of two things must be true.
First Boiling has been approved of
by the party in convention assembled.
Second. If bolting is not an article in
the Democratic creed then the delegates
to the recent convention have misrepre-
sented their constituents.
In either case boting is iustiiable.
