Went on with Their Profits.

ST. LOUIS, March 6.-Last January the
firms of C. NJ. kendrick g. Co. and the In
terstate Candy company made an assign
ment, but the Mississippi Valley Mercan-
tile company continued in business.
These firms were all owned by Crawford
NJ and Charles A. kendrick. 1t is said that
the brothers borrowed money from various
banks, giving as security the paper on one
OF their other firm names, and bought
goods under one firm name and sold them
under another firm name. All this was
done without the knowledge of the eastern
firms that sold them goods and without
the knowledge of the local banks who
loaned them money. The brothers are said
to be missing; that a couple of city banks
are; out about $50. 900, and that the Craw-
fords owe 500, 600 which will never be paid

Pistol Accidentally Exploded Sends n Bali
Into the Heart Of Passer-By.
CINCINNATI, O., March GA most Pc
culiar homicide occurred in front of
James Martins residence on Dalton ave-
nue. in the west end of the city. Herman
Wesslyn, a varnisher in furniture fac
tory, was on his way to work when q pis-
toll ball entered his chest, passing through
his heart and he fell unconscious before
Martins home. The story of the shoot
ing as told by Mrs. Martin is that she
was making up their folding bed in the
lower front parlor and took the revolver
from under the pillow and placed it on
the mantelpiece.
Just as she did SO she heard a pistol
shot, but did not know it was from the
pistol she was handling. Her husband
rushed in from the back room to ask
about it, and they found it was their
pistol, and also found the hole where the
ball went through the wall. The police
question the accuracy of the story
of the shooting, though there
is nothing to show anything but
an accident so far as the victim is
concerned. Mr.. Martin came here from

They represent sixteen states and two
territories. The paper was taken to the
senate just before the close of the SESSION,
but it was impossible to have any confer
ence with the senators or to see any con-
siderable number of them. As it was not
possible to make thorough canvass
among them, it was decided to leave them
out entirely, SO that no misunderstanding
might exist between those willing to sign
and those who had no opportunity tc
do so.

it had been issued in order to call the at

1t is frequently commented upon that
none of the Wilkes-Barre newspapers

THE LAWYERS SAY YES.
Resolutions by the Bar Association in
Favor OF Judicial Legislation.


The Luzerne County Bar association,
at recent meeting, discussed the bills
now before the legislature providing
for the pensioning of judges who have
served twenty years and have reached
the age of 70; and that creating an APP
pellate court. The Luzerne attorneys,
like their brethren throughout the
state, are heartily in favor of these
bills. The resolutions We're drawn by
ex-Attorney General Palmer and are
as follows:
Resolved, That this association fa-
fors the passage of the bill under
which judges of the commonwealth
may retire on full pay after a continu-
Gus service of twenty years, and after
reaching seventy years of age. The
measure is one of simple justice, as
well as wise economy, and can meet
with opposition only from motives un-
worthy of enlightened citizenship.
Resolved That this association ia
vors the passage of the bill creating an
appellate court, believing that as now
constituted the Supreme court is una
BILE to decide the cases that are brought
before it to the satisfaction of either
court or suitors, for want of sufficient
time for their argument and considera-
tion. True economy will not stint the
sum necessary to defray the expense of
deciding controversies that arise
among the people. The fact appearing
that another court is absolutely neces-
sary for the transaction of the public
business, the question of cost Is not
important and ought not to defeat the
relief sought to be provided by this bill.
Resolved. That a copy of this resolu-
tion be furnished out members and
senator's, and to the newspapers for
publication.

ton to put a stop to the Hewitt nuis-

The Electrics. of this place, met q
| crushing defeat by the hands of the
second team of the Young Mems Chris
tian association in the Scranton Base
Ball park yesterday afternoon. Up to
the seventh inning the game was quite
| interesting, the score being 8 to 4, but
in the last two innings, by combina-
| tion of errors on the part of the Elec-
tries, and some terrific slugging by the
Young Mems Christian association
| team, the latter named team secured
twenty-one runs, while their adver-
saries scored but three. Some excuse
can be given for the representative
team Of this place for their poor show
ing, as they were, unfortunately, badly
crippled for players, only four of the
regular team being able to get away
from work.
The entire family Of Price Harris, of
Grove street, with the exception of one.
are confined to their home with illness.

headway, and the surrounding prop

which is owned by George Mcdonald.
of Scranton, had been tenanted by a
number of foreigners, but during the
past few weeks have been unoccupied.
