AMONG THE POLITICIANS.

The Republican delegate election in the
First district Of the Eighth ward will be
held Saturday afternoon between the
hours of and { o'clock, at the Office of A.
r. Raub.
John +. Farrell is the latest to announce
himself as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for jury commissioner. He is
the thirteenth in the field. It's the only
office there is rush for.
As the time for tho Republican and
Democratic county conventions draws
close there is Il noticeable increase of in
terest in matters political. Candidates
for delegate in the various election dis
tricts are at work among their friends,
candidates for Office are scurrying about
and everything indicates that an inter
esting political struggles approaching.
On Saturday the Republican primaries
will be held between the hours Of and 7
p. m. A large vote will be cast through
out the county, as the members Of the
party are thoroughly aroused and evince
lively interest In the impending cam
paign that augurs i'll for the Democratic
party. In many Of the districts the con-
tests for delegate promise to be exciting.

committee of this district at the Central
Democratic club rooms on Saturday after
noon to fix date for senatorial conven-

Although the date for the Democratic
primaries is little more than week away
very few OF the ward statesmen, of which
that party breeds an unnumbered host,
have as yet entered the lists as candi-

offices, anxious for votes are not rushing
forward to guarantee Expenses" and

man keeps within his tent lest he be
tempted to sacrifice himself on the altar of
party duty. 1t is a sure indication of
stagnation of interest in party success
when candidates for Office and for dele

convention. 1t indicates more than that,
namely, that even rosy.hued hope has
failed to point possible pathway to VIC

REPAIRS ARE ALMOST COMPLETE.

The Side Walls and Roof of the Court
House Are Made Safe
The workmen engaged in repairing
the roof and side walls of the court
house will be through with their work
by the end Of the week.
Masons started to work yesterday on
the plastering of the crevices in the
roof with cement to keep out the win
ter rains and snow.
The repairs so far have made the roof
more substantial and strengthened the
side walls materially.
The county commissioners are now
satisfied that the court house is safe,
and the condition of the structure at no
time was as toppling as impressions
from certain quarters would have set
the people to believe.
The visitor may now walk through
the corridors without first taking the
precaution Of getting life insurance
policy.

A CARPET FACTORY.
An Enterprising Individual Wants to
Locate One in This CitY-Rea-
sons He Advances.

The conference between the manu-
tacturers' committee of the board Of
trade and gentleman connected with
one Of the biggest ingram carpet man
ufactories in the country who desires
to form stock company and locate a
plant in this city, was held yesterday
afternoon at the board Of trade rooms.
For the present the gentleman does
not care to have his name mentioned
and the manufacturers committee
considered his reasons worth respect
ing his wishes. He is general manager
OF large concern that makes ingram
carpet. but the plant which he proposes
to build in this city would be erected
for the manufacture solely Of tapestry
carpet
A competition would ensue between
the company which he is at present
employed by and the prospective fac
tory and it would cause, perhaps, some
unpleasantness. So far there has been
nothing tangible done and until he is
assured that Scranton capital will take
an interest in the scheme, he wants to
remain in the back ground.
The meeting yesterday was the first
step, The gentlemen outlined his
scheme to the committee in this
manner: 1t will require a capital stock
Of $3.50, 900 to start the factory In proper
shape. or this sum, and as a test of
his good faith, he is ready to subscribe
ons-third of the stock himself, the re-
mainder to be raised in this city.
He argued the advissbility of taking
up his proposition and laid before the
committee facts and figures which i'm.
pressed them as to the validity Of his
statements.
A number of the wholesale carpet
merchants of the city were present and
they also believed that it would be
good investment. Such conservative
business men as William Connell and
Luther Keller became deeply interested
in the proposition and believe it will
be a good thing.
The gentleman promised that the
plant would yield dividend of 10 per
cent. the second year. AS basis TO
this statement he produced proofs Of
the costs of manufacturing carpet and
the present market value Of it.
The committee decided by unani-
nous vote to make favorable recon-
mendation at the next meeting of the
board of trade.

broad we'll titled acres and rich bear
ing orchards. The latter have been
visited a number of times this season
and the trees despoiled Of ther fruit
and branches.
Mr.. Stone resolved to put an end
to this raiding, and when he saw q
band of ten Huns in his orchard yester-
day, he took down his shot gun, loaded
it and went out and told the intruders
to throw up their hands.
Twenty hands shot up in the air 10.
stantly. and ten voices struggled to
make their pleas for mercy understood.
TOOK TO THE ROAD.
Mr. Stone directed that one Of his
wagons be put in readiness for the road
and into it the prisoners were loaded,
and under cover of the shot gun the
march TO Providence was begun.
AT Providence square the men we're
handed over to Constable Gale, who
took them before AldelmaL Will
liams, where Mr.. Stone entered formal
complaint and gave his testimony
against the accused.
They declared that they had not in.
vaded Mr.. Stones land. but had mere
ly picked up apples they found lying
by the roadside.
Alderman Williams asked them to
furnish bail and being unable to do so
they were committed to the county
Jail to await trial. The men reside at
Priceburg and Olyphant.
