The coming election in California will

will be the first held under an exceedingly
stiff purity of elections" law passed by
the last legislature and based upon the
British law of 1888 Its enactment was
secured by the Citizens Defense associa-

the expenditures for election purposes of
any candidate to 5 per cent of the salary
Of the office; and in the case of offices the
emoluments of which consist of fees, in
stead of fixed salary, the expenditures
of the candidate are limited to $50. 1t
also specifies how and for what the money
may be expended. If the law works well
it will come east.

| A very interesting case was settled by
Alderman Donohue, of Wilkes-Barre, on
Monday night, the prosecutor being a
Hungarian who wanted the duty on a
bride imported by him, from another
Hun who had won her heart and hand.
John Undo, who came to this country
sometime ago, left Mary Nico in the old
country. When he had little money
saved up, Mary's aunt, Mrs. Koboski,
was interviewed about the state of affairs
and she encouraged him to send over to
the old country, bring Mary over and get
married. She agreed to pay part of the
expense.
Mary was sent for and she came in
due time. There was large time at
Mrs. Koboski's on the night of Mary's
arrival. Undo was the happiest man on
earth. That night, however, Undo
brought his friend, Mike Kolloro, to see
the bride and he fell in love with her at
first sight, and it was soon seen that she
thought more of Mike than of John.
Several weeks passed and one night
Mike and Mary were quietly married,
much to the grief and disappointment of
Undo, who had especially imported her
to become his wife. Undo then argued
that if Mike married the girl he ought
to pay the $50 expenses that were in
CURED by Mary's importation.
Mike declined to listen to the demand,
but Squire Donohue told him that as
long as the bride had been imported he
would have to pay duty on her, as she
was classed in the tariff bill, and that
she ought certainly be worth $50, and
cheap at that. Mike agreed to pay the
money and that settled the matter.

Three Miners Hurned.

There was terrible explosion of gas
at the Mount Lookout colliery, Wyom-
ing, this county, on Tuesday afternoon,
in which three men were horribly burn
ed. Their names are: William Morgan,
rock man; William Mitchell, rock man,
and Thomas Protheroe, door tender.
The men were engaged at driving a rock
tunnel, and had retired to the north of
the tunnel to wait until the smoke of
blast which they had fired would
60 out. 1t was about ten minutes after
the blast had gone off and while the
men were eating their lunches from their
pals that they heard an explosion. The
burning gas and rushing air passed over
them, throwing them about the floor
and passed on to the foot of the shaft.
Rescuing parties were organized and
found the three men unconscious and
terribly burned about the head, face,
shoulders and arms. They were sent to
their homes in ambulances. A survey
Of the mine showed that all the doors
and brattices in that portion of the mine
We're wrecked. Officials of the company
who examined the scene of the accident
an hour later said they could only ac-
count for the explosion on the theory
that the blast must have opened and set
fire to "blower," this in turn setting
off body of hanging gas.

WORTHLESS COAL.
Expensive Delay to Big Ocean
Steamship.

NEW YORK, May 2.-The big Wilson
line steamship Francisco which hauled
out from Prentice's stores, Brooklyn, on
Saturday, bound for Hull, is here STILL Iy
ing off Liberty Island. She has a large
quantity of cattle ON board besides heavy
cargo. Her detention is one of the results
of the great coal strike, for when the engi-
neers tried to get up steam it was found
that the coal supplied was of so poor
quality that it would hardly burn. Notice
was sent to the agents and empty coal
barges were moored alongside the steamer
to unload the bunkers into. The ships
time is probably worth $500 n day, and
the incidental expenses and losses will
have to be made good by the firm sup
plying the coal. The merchandise may
have been shipped for delivery at certain
date and this would entail still further
loss. 1t is quite evident that if the strike
in the coal regions continues much longer,
steamship agents will be sorely tried to
find the right kind of coal for their vessels.
