FOREST CITY.

While some of the shouters In this
! borough are for Quay in this present
| fight. the majority of thinking Repub-
licans are unquestionably in favor of
| sustaining Governor Hastings and the
state administration. The Republican
voters of Forest City in the main are
intelligent. honest, honorable citizens,
who do not propose to be sold in bulk
| to Tommy" Kilrow and Third-term
Sam Wright, who trade with Quay
upon the strength of their fealty to Re-
| publican principles. They realize that
| back of all the Quay clamor is a mean,
vindictive purpose to humilate the
most popular chief executive the state
ever had 'and to foist Don Cameron
| once more on an unwilling common
wealth. And they propose next Satur-
| day to vote. to man, for Frank Hol-
| lenback and Lew Jones, in the First
ward, and DR.. Beakeslee and Benjamin
Maxey in the Second. because they
know that these men will stand up for
clean politics and fair play for every
American citizen, regardless Of Doodle
or bosssm.

An ordinance giving the Carbondale
and Forest City Electric railway the
right Of way through Main street in
this borough hos been signed by the
burgess. The officers of the company
say they will not accept the franchise.
because the requirements of the council
and the restrictions imposed are many
Of them useless and unmeaning and
impossible, and that others are too
binding. The council will not compro-
mise, and the borough of Forest City
will have to get along without the
road.

AN HONEST ROBBER.
He. Returns s41O 10 His Victim
Through the United States Mail.

From the Washington Post
A good many queer things happen in the
postofice department, but yesterday was
the first time that the department ever
found burglars making its drop-letter
boxes a medium for the return of stolen
property. The story drifted into the de-
partment from the little town of Bristol,
Tenn, where an eminently respectable
ranchman of Montana was held up without
a borrowing acquaintance in town, and no
way of getting himself or his trunks out
of a hotel, where he owed a bill and did
not even have a speaking acquaintance
with the barkeeper. The postoffice had a
roll of bills, amounting to $40, and several
railroad tickets, which were undoubtedly
the property of this suffering citizen, hut
with nothing but circumstantial evidence
to prove 1t. The way It came about was
this:
The man from Montana was stopping at
the hotel in Bristol, and several days ago
was robbed. The report did not 20 into
details of the affair, but nevertheless the
western citizen aforesaid lost roll OF $40,
the railroad tickets mentioned and a num-
Der Of private papers. He was left stran-
ded In Bristol In a very thirsty and en-
barrassing position for a resident of Mon
tana, and what would have ultimately be-

Montana man. was found In one OF the
street letter boxes
The carrier turned II over 10 the post

the department Of the situation. while the

ABsENT-MINDED RICH MAN.
Mr.. Havemeyer Hid His Silver, Then
Accused Servant of Stealing 1t.
h. Nh.

From the New York World.
There have been a good many bur
glaries recently in the house of wealthy
residents of Yonkers. Millionaire John
c. Havemeyer is only one of many house,
holders who have been fearful they would
receive a visit from the outlaws. He
has one of the finest houses along the
Hudson, and his plate is valued in the
thousands About two weeks ago he plac-
ed his valuable silver in a trunk in his
own closet. He told nobody of his act
Mr.. Havemeyer gave a dinner to some
friends on Tuesday last. The servants
searched in vain for the silverware, and
reported to Mr.. Havemeyer that it was
missing. He is absent-minded, and forgot
that he had concealed it in his trunk. He
complained to the police that he had been
robbed, and detectives went and looked
at the place where the silver had for
merly been kept. They said 1t must have
been one of the servants who committed
Nle theft, because there was no evidence
that any one had broken into the house
Mr.. Havemeyer looked over his list of
servants. Among them was Mrs. Solon
Lapham, laundress, who was employed
for two days each week. Mr.. Havemever
suspected her for some occult reason
and swore out search warrant, by which
detectives were given the privilege Of
seaching her premises. 1t was common
gossip among the servants that Mrs. La
pham was believed to be the guilty one.
The search did not result in the finding
OF the missing property. The detectives
were mystified, and Mrs. Lapham was
about as indignant as an innocent per-
son can be without bursting
When all the excitement was beginning
to subside Mr.. Havemeyer recollected
that he had concealed the silverWare in
trunk. He found it safe just as he had
left it. Now Mrs Lapham has brought
suit for $4,000 against the millionaire.
charging him with defamation OF chara,-
ter. Her lawyer is William Riley of Yonk-
ers
There was absolutely no ground for
accusing or suspecting my client" he
said TO World reporter yesterday. she
has first-class reputation and has never
been accused of a wrong act before in
her life. When Mr.. Havemeyer recollect-
ed that he had hidden his treasure. and
when he found it safe, he did not even
apologize to- Mrs. Lapham for the trouble
and the disgrace he had brought upon
her.. If he had the suit might never have
been brought"
