THE PROHIBITIONISTS.
VIII Meet In County Convention To-day
and Nominate Ticket.

VIII Meet IN county convention lOuuy
and Nominate n Ticket.
The Prohibition party's county con-
ventlon will be held in this city today,
and an effort has been made to bring
together an unusually large number of
the active workers OF the third party.
The convention will nominate full
county ticket and also select delegates
to the state convention. There will be
no contests for places on the ticket
and the platform to be adopted will be
of the radical variety. No county In
the state has more earnest Prohibition
lists than Luzerne, and their enthusi-
asm never wanes. There has been per-
ceptible increase In the Prohibition
vote for a number of years. but that
fact does not discourage them. Once
in q while they manage to knock out a
Republican candidate, which always
causes Plohobition rejoicing.
A number Of prominent speakers
have promised to be in attendance at
today'S convention AMONG them the
Rev. Hogan. Of Forest City, who re-
fused ito accept the charge assigned to
him at the hate Wyoming annual con-
ference because he alleges he has been
prosecuted because te is a Prohibition
ist. Mr.. Hogan has been trying to get
into a newspaper controversy with the
bishop, who presided at the confer
ence, but has not been conspicuously
successful. Brother Hogan is a novel;
ty just now. but the Prohibition breth-
rem will soon get tired of listening to
his personal grievances as a Method
ist preacher which he recounts on
every occasion.
The convention today will be fol-
lowed by a mass meeting this evening

AMATEUR SINGERS,
The Successful Presentation of {
Mikadoby VII es. Barre Talent.

The Successful Presentation of the
Mikadob by vii es.Barre Talent.
Last evening the third performance
OF the "Mihado" was presented at the
Grand Opera house before a large and
well pleased audience. The several
performers felt more at ease on the
stage and sang and played their parts
with more assurance than at the pre-
ceding presentations. That Wilkes
Barre contains an unusually large num-
ber Of excellent voices has once more
been demonstrated. Too much credit
cannot be awarded Joseph P. Burns for
the admirable work he has done in
training the large body Of singers.
Some OF these amateurs could pose as
professionals IL they were 30 inclined.
The fourth and last performance will
occur this afternoon when At Is hoped
the Grand will be crowded. These per-
formances are given for purely chari-
table purpose, and the performers have.
cheerfuily given of their time and tai
ents without compensation. The "Mi-
kado." as presented by these local sing
ers. Is fully as enjoyable as II It were
fhe work OF professionals.

POLITICAL POINTS.

County Chairman Robinson mas
,,,,,od col, for n meeting of the Re
pulican county committee on Juhe, T.
at 10 a. m., to fix time for holding 'he
next county convention, and the 'rahs-
action of such other business as may
properly come before the committee
The call also directs attention 10 'ie
revised rules of the Republican party
Of Luzerne requiring all cahoiua.es
seeking nominations to register with the
county committee at least thirty days
before the meeting OF the county con-
yention. The names Of all candidates
SO registered will be published with tne
call for the convention. 1t Is geheraiiy
understood that delegates and alter
mates to the Republican national con-
vention in 1896 will be chosen by the
county convention this year. IL ~
urged that inasmuch as the national
convention will be held early In the
wear. unless the delegates are chosen
this year two county conventions VIII
have to be held next year. an early one
to name delegates and later one to
nominate candidates for the local
offices.
II the national delegates are chosen
this year great interest Will attach 10
the county convention. and the contest
will enter into the delegate elections
The attempt will be made to prevent
instructions to the delegates, or to ex-
press any preference as to presidential
candidates by the county convention.
There will be a score Of aspirants who
desire to represent the district In the
national convention. Senator Quay, 1t
is said, is in communication with GER
tain local leaders here whom he desires
to have chosen, and 1t is also alleged
that he is strongly opposed to instruc-
tions for any one for president.
The News-Dealer admits that Isaac
Livingstone will be in the field for post
master Of Wilkes-Barre when Mr..
Landmesser's term expires. But he will
not be the only one.
Among the present members Of the
legislature from this county who will
be likely to give place to new men next
year are Messrs. Griner, Reese, Harvey
and Jeffreys. The last named has had
three terms, Reese and Harvey two
and Grier one.
Few persons will be surprised If, when
the proper time comes, ex-Sheriff Rob-
inson looms up as candidate for
sheriff. There Is a strong undercurrent
in his favor in many sections Of the
county. He was a model sheriff.
If John T. Lenahan should want the
Democratic nomination for congress
next yearhe could haveit. but his friends
say he does not care for politics now;
he prefers to wait until he has accumu-
lated some more wealth.
L. C. Darte, 1t Is said. would like to go
to the next Republican national con-
vention as a delegate. He is a great
admirer Of General Alger, of Michigan,
and would support him with great en-
thusiasm.

Recovered His Moucv.

Burgess Boyle, OF Nanticoke, bought
some trifiing articles from a peddler
who called at his house with his pack
Of wares. He handed MIN what ne sup
posed was dollar bill and received his
change for a dollar. After the peddler
had taken his departure the burgess
discovered that he had given the fellow
$2o bill and was therefore out $19.
He referred the case to the chief of po-
lice who soon discovered that the ped
dler had taken hts departure from the
town. The chief procured horse and
buggy and started IN pursuit. He over
took his man at Ceasetown and brought
him back The $50 bill was recovered
and the vender Of small wares was al
lowed to go his way rejoicing.

prOba bly n Murder.

Another murder is likely to grow out
of the bloody fight that occurred in a
Plymouth saloon few night ago, in
which number Of Hungarians partici-
pated. Albert Walker one of the men
assaulted, was struck on the head with
a hatchet, and his injuries will, in all
probability, result fatally. If the man
dies there will be some arrests, If the
assailants can be found, which is not
probable. Why the arrests have not
already been made is not explained by
the Plymouth authorities.
