Gala Night at the CottaCe.

The second annual banquet and hop
of the Old Mems Club was held at the
Cottage hotel last evening, and this
unique organization scored another re
markable success. Every person who
received an invitation and could attend
was present, and the merry crowd en-
joyed themselves in dancing until mid
night, when the banquet took place.
Proprietor Haas had his large tables
filled with the best OF everything in
season, and the club and its guests did
justice to the palatable spread. De-
Pierros orchestra resumed playing after
the eating was concluded, and the dane
ing continued until an early hour this
morning. Much praise was heard on all
sides for the admirable manner in which
the club connucted the affair, the credit
of which is due principally to the eff
cent committee of arrangements, G. w.
Barager, NJ. n. Bergin and 7. l.. Ed
munds.

From the Wilkesbarre Record.

From the Wilkesbarre Record
County Treasurer Reed has just re-
turned from Washington, d. c., al
though he says his visit had nothing to
do with politics. Mr.. Reed said he saw
Congressman Leisenring. The national
Republican delegate question must have
been brought up, as Mr.. Reed says Leis-
enring fayorS Hon. Theodore Hart, of
Pittston, as one OF the delegates. The
latter was one of the staunch Quay men
duriug the recent contest. Mr.. Liesen-
ring favors some strong Hastings man
from the lower end as the other delegate.
Who can this mean other than Leisen-
ring himself? These selections Mr.. Leis-
enrlng thinks would go far towards
preserving the harmony which gave the
Republicans their pronounced victory
last fall

From the IIazleton Sunday Truth.
And there is another Republican at
Freeland who believes that if there is
any fruits from political labors he
should be given some-that is Frank
DcPerro. lie would like to be the next
county commissioner from the lower
end and he can see no reason why the
other lights Of the party cannot see ii
the way he does. He has come out in
no uncertain manner; he is going to
stay out until he succeeds or is crushed
by the party he has SO often helped ON
to victory. Frank is Il Republican OF
sterling quality and what is more he
controls a large vote which he at all
times swung into line for the Rcpub-
Leans.
Flushed with few successive victorie,
in the county, the party will make the
big mistake which the Democrats did II
not careful. The Democrats were SC
emboldened by their successes that they
thought the lower end could be ignored
with impunity, but the error was fatal
From that one mistake the Democracy
is rent and torn asunder today in the
county. Can the Republicans dare tC
tread the same ground when destruction
is so plainly before them?
DePlerro's demands are apparently
reasonable, at least they will beal
scrutiny. His name on the Republican
ticket next fall will bring hundreds o
votes to that party which could not be
had under other circumstances. Thi.
man DePierro is popular more so than i,
thought and il the old mistake of not
putting a lower end man on the ticket il
not made the Republicans in the county
will not err much by recognizing De
Pierro's claim.

In the action of John Jennings VS.
Luzerne county, Judge Woodward by
opinion handed down, finds in favor of
the plaintiff. Jennings is Il deputy
constable, and the action was brought
to recover fees amounting to $l,4C
which the county commissioners, under
advice of their attorney, refused to pay
on the ground that a deputy constable
is not entitled to costs for serving q
warrant. The opinion is most i'm
portant one, as the case was in the ma
turo Of q test case.

JOE sTRACHO CAUGHT.


Last Monday morning Mrs. Peter
Greggo, of Upper Lehigh, attended the
services at st. Johns Slavonian church
here, and when she returned home she
found one of her boarders, fellow
named Joe StrachO, running the house
to suit himself Mrs. Grcggo rcmon-
strated with the man, who turned upon
her and drew a revolver. He fired two
shots at the woman, one which took
effect in her right leg. The wound,
which is not serious one, was given
prompt attention by the physicians who
were summoned. In the meantime
Stracho disappeared. Mrs. Greggo's
husband came from the mines to help
hunt him and cane to town for Con-
stabe Quglcy. The officer found no diff
ticuIty in meeting several parties who
had seen the man going towards Batter
valley, and he was traced to about two
miles below the foot the mountain. A
diligent search failed to bring about any
more information OF Stracho, but the
officer has not yet abandoned hopes OF
capturing the would-bc murderer.

S,35 o'clock in the Jeddo swamp. Goa
and Iron Policeman Sciwell made the
arrest. He was in an old shanty back
of the strippings and when the officer
came upon him he offered no resistance.

which looks like a bullet hole. He says
Mrs. Greggo shot herself while trying
to shoot him. Stracho was taken to
