Push Forward
Better to strive and climb
And never reach the goal
Than to drift along with time
An aimless, worthless soul.
Aye, better to climb and fall,
Or sow. though the yield be small
Than to throw away, day after day.
And never strive at al.

Judge Finletter, of Philadelphia, rem
dered decision last Friday morning in
contested election case that practically
changes the way in which the voter can
mark his ballot. Judge Finletter's deci-
sion was
at is within the keeping of the inten-
ton of the act, and the intention of the
voter, and in aid of the exercise of the
franchise of voting, to hold that where
the voter marks an individual, and also
marks the head of the group, that the
marking of the individual shall prevail
and that the marking of the group, SC
FAR as the same officers are concerned,
shall be inoperate and void"

ROckafeIIow Sentenced,

Judge Lynch on Friday sentenced F.
V. Rockafellow, the embezzlng banker
of Wilkes Barre, who was convicted at
the last term of court, to pay fine of
81, 200 and to undergo an imprisonment
of two years and two months in the
eastern penitentiary. After sentence
was pronounced he was taken to the
county Jail, and when the cell door
closed he burst into tears showing how
deeply he felt his humiliation. He is
6S years of age, and should have known
better than to rob the working people
who had made him guardian of their
money.
John 7. Lenahan went to Philadelphia
on Saturday to appear before the su-
preme court and try to work some point
that will release him.

Wilbur Makes Concessions.

The grievance committee of the Le-
high Valley Railroad has at last arrived
at an understanding with PRESIDENT
| Wilbur and now know where they stand.
The conference held last week between
Chairman Rice and Wilbur was an i'm
| portant one. The meeting was directly
brought about by complaints from old
employees at Easton. The restoration of
the men to their old places was taking
place too slowly to satisfy them, and a
matter that caused greater complaint was
rumor of reduction in the pay of the
old men. Some of the old men, too,
who had been taken back were put off
in preference to new men who were
| retained.
Mr.. Rice succeeded in getting Superin-
tenient Wilbur to acquiesce in the un-
fairness of any discrimination, and a
bulletin will soon be posted to the effect
that all employees will henceforth be
paid at the old rate, such pay dating
from the first of the year.
Mr.. Rice was also assured that from
now on the new men will be obliged to
conform to the same regulations and dis
cipline as the old men, and those shown
disqualified for the services of the road
will not be continued in it. lie further
explained that old men will be taken
back as the roads business justifes in
it in doing so.
Superintendent Wilbur also told Mr..
Rice that the order which was issued
some time ago declaring that none of the
old employees who were known to abuse
the road or took prominent part in the
strike would be taken back into its en-
ploy has been rescinded.

THE ELECTRIC ROAD.


From the Plain Speaker.
The contract for the extension of the
Lehigh Traction Company's road from
Harleigh to Freeland will be awarded in

A Farmers Tragic End,

An attack of grip, which began on
Thursday morning, increased so rapidly
in violence that by evening it had crazed
its subject, j. Minor Woodworth, pro-
minent and wealthy farmer residing
near Shickshinny, and driven him to a
dramatic suicide. The pains in his head
became so violent as the day drew to a
close that at O'Clock p. m. Woodwork
suddenly arose from the bed and dashed
out of the door. His family pursued
and the chase continued along the road
for a quarter of mile.
When the sufferer saw that the pur-
suers were close upon him he took from
his pocket a large knife and drew it
across his throat, falling dead in his
tracks. He was so years of age.

Pleasure Grounds on the Road.

From the Standard
A gentleman from Harleigh who was
in this city on Friday said that by next
summer old Harleigh and Eckley will
be the centres of many summer
amusements and attractions. He stated
that the Traction Company contemplated
digging out large dam near Harleigh,
or at least fixing up pond to be used
for rowing purposes. This will afford
mnch pleasure on warm summer even
ings and will be something new in these
regions. This gentleman also stated
that a large picnic ground would be
erected near Eckley by the Traction
Company. There is ample room and
any amount of suitable places for such a
purpose in that place. If these state
ments are correct pleasure-seekers will
have their wishes gratifed. 1t will en-
liven up old Harleigh and again revive
Eckley.

From Yesterdays Phila. Times.
Editor James A. Sweeney, of the
Hazleton Plain Speaker, is a candidate
for the legislature in the fourth Luzerne
district. The district is generally Demo-
cratic, but is now represented by a Re-
publican, and it is given as foregone
conclusion that Mr., Sweeney can be
elected easily. He is popular, has all
the elements necessary along with the
record for a fight in the Hazleton Sec
ton, and his knowledge of the state and
past legislation will give him position
from the start.
