John A. Stevens, is a straightforward and

OF anything of farce-comedy nature.
The story is clear-cut. strong and sus-

say: Il thank all respectable people i'm
the audience for the polite attention they
have accorded me. For the disrespectful

POLITICAL PlCkUPS.

In lengthy editorial on Tuesday the
Philadelphia Times indorses the move
ment>to have the Democrats of Luzerne
make no nomination against the Repub-
lican candidate for judge in this county
The question is one which requires
much consideration by the delegates to
the convention. If they knew who is to
be nominated by the Republicans an
Endorsement might be well enough, but
that is not yet known and for fear they
will place an unworthy man on their
ticket the Democrats will probably take
no chances.
poll of the districts of this county,
from a Hastings followers view, gives
the governor seven out of the ten dele
gates to the state convention. He was
promised solid delegation from Lu-
zerne for the new county veto, but the
goods can't be delivered.
Joseph p. Mcdonald is being urged by
friends in all parts of the county to accept
the Democratic nomination for recorder,
and it is probable that he will reconsider
his former announcement to not stand.
Mr.. Mcdonald would add strength to
the ticket.
The names of Freeland men may be
placed on both tickets at the coming
conventions.
The Peoples party nominated the
following ticket on Saturday: Sheriff,
w. A. Razetto, Wyoming; recorder, p.
j. Boyle, Wilkesbarre; coroner, II. A.
Harris, Edwardsville.
Henry Brenner, at present deputy
under Sheriff Walter, announces him
self as a candidate for sheriff. Mr..
Brenner is admirably fitted for the of

Struck 1t Rich in the West.

John and James Neary have returned
to Scranton after making lucky strike
in the mining regions near Butte, Mon
tana. In company with two compan-
ions they left their home several years
and went to Park City, Utah, from
which place they drifted to Butte City
and obtained employment as miners.
BY frugality they saved considerable
money, which they invested in claim
that for long time yielded nothing in
response to their patient labor.
At length they were rewarded by
striking rich vein of copper, which it
has since been decided is continuation
of the vein being worked at the famous
Anaconda mine. They had not the ne
cessary money to develop their valuable
property, and decided to accept liberal
offer for the sale of-it to company of
capitalists.
The four partners each received be-
tween $40, 200 and S25, 200 as their share
of the money derived from the sale of
the mine. The Neary brothers intend
to remain at Scranton and invest safely
the money they earned prospecting in
Montana.

Ton of Coal Fixed by Law.

One of the laws of widespread interest
in Pennsylvania signed recently by the
governor is that fixing 2,240 pounds as a
ton of coal. Dealers who sell less than
that can now be fined. In some parts
of the state dealers have been giving
only 1000 pounds fora ton, and the com
planning housekeeper could not easily
get redress. Now the exact ton is fixed
by law and coal dealers will have to look
sharp lest they tumble into trap by
giving light weight

The Ne'osdedler was very indignant
yesterday because the TRIBUNE on Mon.

displayed by one of Luzerne's judges in
not attending to court business. Oul
county seat contemporary, which, by
the way, credited the article to the
ProgreSs rushed to Judge Woodward's
defense with lame excuse. 1t saws
Judges Albright and Edwards were
brought here because Judge Rice was
holding court in Wyoming county.
That does not explain Woodward's alb
sence. Had he attended to his business
it would have been unnecessary to call
upon the judiciary of other counties to
sit on the Luzerne bench when Rice was
away,
