 Silver-Bradley for Governor.
 Louisville, June 1.-The platform of the republican state convention adopted tonight contains the following plank
 "we are opposed to the free and un- limited coinage of silver, believing that it will involve the country in financial ruin. We believe in a sound currency and in the use of both gold and silver for coinage, provided always that dol- lar in one is made precisely as valuable as a dollar in the other."

REDUCING THE LIST.
Cases Begun as Late as the May Term,
1891. viii BE Heard ut Coming Term of
Common Pleas Court.

The three weeks term of common
pleas court will begin on Monday.
Judge Edwards will preside in the main
court room, Judge Archibald in No. .,
and it Is probable that a judge from
some of the adjoining judicial districts
will be ON the bench in No. 3. There
are one hundred and five cases on the
list for trial, many of which are of an
important nature. In seven trespass
cases the city is named as defendant
and the local electric railway COM
pany Is defendant in five.
Since the terms of common pleas
court We're extended to three weeks,
and three judges employed in the trial
of actions the number of cases await
ing trial has been greatly reduced. On
the trial list for the next term are flf-
teen cases that We're begun during 1894,
some of them as late as the May term.
Judge Edwards said yesterday that
within another year the civil courts of
this county will be abreast of litigation
and those who find 1t necessary to
invoke the law will not have long to
wait to get a hearing before jury.

Lake Arie, Excursion Announcement.

The season of 1894 proved the most sue
cessful In the history of Lake Ariel, and Of
the many thousands who favored this eN-
ceedngly delightful and interesting resort
with their presence, we believe there are
few who are not enthusiastic over its
charms.
With the opening of spring, the liberal
policy pursued in the line of improvement
will be continued, many new and attrac-
tive features are contemplated, which are
certain to delight annual visitors.
Conditions are favorable for decided
increase in excursion traffic, although a
general dullness in trade circles prevails
throughout the valley Many parties have
secured desired dates. and the early appli-
cations which are being received are indi-
cations that Lake Ariel will eclipse her
past enviahle records.
From churches and societies contemplate
ing excursions, we invite consideration,
feeling that we possess in Lake Ariel. a
resort which will prove both delightful and
advantageous. Special attention is given
excursion business and ample arrange
ments made for large parties.
AS many committees We're disappointed
last season in securing desirable dates.
We suggest that applications be sent in
as early as possible.

writ Of alternative mandamus to COM

party in Lackawanna county.

and classification of persons subject to
license in three papers, viz: The Scran-
ton Republican, Scranton Times and

Knapp accepted the service of the rule

Times published the appraisement list
of their own volition, and they had
carried the matter to court to receive
payment therefore. If court decides
that the county must foot the bill, then,
of course, it will have to be done.
Fred Wagner, publisher of the Scran-

Clerk Wagner states that the Woch-

MR.. SCHROEDER'S CINCH.
No Opponent for Select Council from the
sixteenth Ward.

It is not probable that Adam Schroe-
der, the regularly nominated Repuhli-
can candidate for select council from
the Sixteenth ward, will have a Dem
ocratic opponent. No Democratic nomi-
nation papers have been filed in the
court house five days preceding the
election, which will be held Tuesday.
Among politicians 1t is not considered
likely that Mr.. Schroeder will have any
opposition. 1t has been currently re-
ported that the Democratic leaders IN
the ward had tried to hit upon some
available German. but without success,
and It Is not expected that any eleventh
hour candidate will be run on stiCkers.

He awoke in a frozen condition and
frightened several passers-by by his

have inspected the place, but owing to
his inability to describe the men, they
have no hope of tracing the thieves.
