From the Hazlcton Standard
The remains of Robert Easterday, the
colored insane man who strayed from
his home in Conyngham the forepart of
last week, were found near an old saw
mill in Butler valley on Sunday after
noon. Mr.. Haas, of Butler valley, ac-
companied by friend, was strolling
through tho woods in search of rattle
snakes, and when nearing the base of
the Butler mountain detected sicken-
ing odor and upon investigation was
Mortified in discovering the partially de-
composed body of the unfortunate col
ored man.
From tho condition of the body it is
evident that death had resulted in the
early part of the week, probably the
night upon which he strayed away from
his place of residence. William and
Charles Tresler, under whose supervi-
sion Easterday was before death, were
notified and at once recognized the
body. Interment was made on Tuesday
in Conyngham cemetery.

A Victory for Assessors.

In the case of E. c. Brinker VS.. the
county of Northampton, Judge Scott has
handed down an opinion giving judg-
ment to the plaintiff for $40. The case
was agreed to by Mr. Brinker and E. j.
Fox, solicitor for the county commits
sioners, to find out whether or not the
assessors of the county were entitled to
extra pay for doing certain work requir-
ed by the compulsory educational law and
If so who is to pay it. Tho act of as
sembly is silent on the subject.
Mr.. Brinker is the assessor of the
third ward, Easton, and in compliance
with the compulsory education law,
made a list of all children between the
ages of eight and thirteen years within
the said ward, giving the name and
residence Of each and whether in charge
of parent, guardian, or other person,
which enumeration was returned to tho
county commissioners. He was engaged
for five days in making the enumeration
and sued to recover the So per diem
compensation paid assessors of election.
The decision of the court is, therefore,
that the county must pay the assessors
for enumerating the school children.

MURDERER SENTENCED.
John Gosseck Given Eighteen Months il
Luzerne County Prison.

John Gosseck, of Exeter, was placed
on trial before Judge Lynch on Tues
day, charged with the murder of Mich
ael Herka, a fellow Hungarian, on Eas-
ter Monday night. A jury was chosen
and several witnesses were heard when
the defense at the afternoon session
offered to make a plea of voluntary
manslaughter, which was accepted by
the commonwealth.
Gosseck was at once sentenced to
eighteen months in the county prison,
the term to begin from the date of his
confinement, about five months ago.
The crime with which Gosseck was
charged was the killing of Michael
Herka on Easter Monday night in the
saloon of Henry Bierdeman at Sturmer-
vile, near West Pittston. The defend
ant and his victim and a number of
companions were drinking in the saloon
when fight was started, in which
chairs and fists played prominent part.
The proprietor put all the men out ex-
cept Herka. A few moments after, it
was alleged, Gosseck hurled Il large
stone through the open door which
struck Herka on the head, fracturing
the skull and breaking his neck and
causing almost instant death.

POLITICAL PICkUPS,

Roger McMonigle left for his home in
Seguin, Texas, yesterday, after an alb
sence of six months spent in the East
and Europe. Mr.. McMonigle is an old
time Republican and has voted the
ticket straight every year, but he now
feels that his party has gone astray and
will cast his ballot for Bryan in Noyem-
Der. He lives the Mexican line, and
knows the exact condition of that ''sil-
ver-ridden" country. He can tell you
more about the silver question in one
hour than all the gold mems organettes
would tell in month.
The Republican club of town hoisted
handsome banner across Centre street
last evening. The names of Mckinley
and Hobart are across the top, with the
candidates pictures and the national
colorS underneath. Below these are the
words ''Protection, Honest Money, Reel
procity." The banner is credit to the
artist and the club, and that part of it
which shows Mckinley turning his face
from the American flag probably look
ing, as his platform says, for help from
other countries) is u very appropriate
feature,

HONEST VOTE WANTED.
Reward of $500 offered on Behalf of the
Workingmen of the County.

From the Wilkebarre Newsdealer.
So many stories have come to the
NeaosdeaLer office within the past two
weeks, in regard to the coercion and
intimidation of employees by mine fore
men and uperintendents, that we make
the following announcements in relation
to the same:
$500 reward will be paid for any infor-
nation that will lead to the arrest and
final conviction of any boss, or agent of
any corporation in Luzerne county, for
intimidation or coercion of any voter at
the coming election.
The Newsdealer guarantees to push
to final conclusion any case presented
against any offending uperintendent,
foreman or agents, and the strictest
confidence will be maintained as to in
formation presented.
The Ne1SdGdier is determined to Sc
cure every protection for the working
men of this county in the matter of a
free ballot and will esteem it favor
if any workmen who believes his en-
ployer or his agents are trying to force
or intimidate him to vote against Bryan
and Sewall will give the facts at this
office.
When workingmen sell their daily
labor they are not obliged to throw
their vote in with it,
This offer is open to all, Democrats
Republican and Populsts.

Entering business Life.

Many people of the old school still
have the idea that the proper way to
enter into business life is in the old time
way of beginning as chore boy, and If
life lasted long enough and the indvid-
ual had sufficient ability, being admit
ted finally to an interest in the business.
But this is no longer possible even if it
were desirable. Those who would on
gage in business must not only have a
good general education, but they must
also obtain the special training demand
ed by the magnitude of modern com
merce. Probably no business school
holds such an advanced position as re-
CARDS both the general preparation fol-
business life and the special training
demanded, as the well-known Pelrce
school, Philadelphia. 1t combines in a
most happy way general instruction
with specific training.
