Duty! Duty! Duty!

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-The election is
over, but the result don't alter the duty
or destiny of men as citizens. Success
fol or unsuccessful, it is given to US to
20 forward or backward; and the age
in which we live fOrbids us the latter
alternative and course. The destiny of
man In this world is conflict with ma
ture and the wsywsrdness and weak
neosess of his fellow-msn; and his
duty, to fight his battles msnfully and
well. Therefore, without further ado,
let us set about our work, and having
cleared the decks, prepare for further
conflict in the line of duty. Eternal
vigilance, we are told, Is the price OF
liberty; and l may add, of prosperity
to the masses ss well ss individuals.
And If we shirk this preCautiOn in de
votion to self-indulgence and greed, we
must take the consequences In sadness
and sorrow, as we did in the afliction
of the late Civil war.
That war might have been avoided
by q proper devotion to duty, pre-
Viously, on the part of the people OF
the North. But in the pursuit of
money and wealth they allowed the
slave srlstocrscy Of the South to rule
unchecked and with high hand In
Congress for years, till the latter be-
came impressed with the idea that the
people of the North were mere mud
sills and traders and trsffickers ready
to sacrifice everything, even their self
respect and independence, to the accu'
mutation of luGre. Therefore they
waxed domineering and diCtstOrial to
an extent that eliminated in open re-
bellion, when they were checked In
their career, as in the election of 1850
So sgsiD, after the war. the common
people of the country having returned
to their homes after four years of In
tense public interest and excitement,
settled down to an entire aud exclusive
devotion to their personal affairs, and
thus afforded the opportunity to thai
great element which Is ever alert to Be-
cure advantages and special privileges
from government to live without toi
and on the labor of others; and as
consequence they got In their work
most successfully and with the most
dire results to the masses of the people
az we have witnessed. For example
they drsgooned the government into
the absurd and insane policy of award
ing them the privilege of furnishing
the currency of the country with whiot
all business is carried on, instead o.
the government exercising its own pre-
rogstlve of supplying that currenc!

Supreme Court Affirmed the Verdict Of
Murder Of the First Degree.
HISTORY OF THE CRUEL HOMICIDE
Convicted Man Hid Behind Laurel
Bushes and as Frank COnforti
Passed on His Way Home, BOs.
chino Shot and Killed Him from
mbush.. First Case Prosecuted by
District Attorney Jones.

News from Harrisburg. at which
place the Supreme court is in session,
announces that Justice McCollum
handed down an opinion yesterday af-
firming the verdict of murder Of the
first degree in the Boschino homicide
case, tried before Judge Gunster in
this county.
This crime was committed In the bor-
ough of Dunmore on Sunday evening
about o'clock, Nov. IL. 1894. 1t was
one of the most cowardly and unpro-
voked that ever occurred in Lackawan-
ma county. Joseph Boschino murdered
Frank Conforti by lying in wait be-
hind clump OF laurel bushes along
the path over which the murderer
knew his victim would soon pass.
District Attorney John r. Jones' Just
after assuming the duties Of his office,
conducted the case for the common
wealth and wove such a strong net
work Of convincing evidence that the
jury found the defendant guilty. 1t
was Mr. Jones' first case as attorney

SEAMLESS STEEL TUBING.
Company Wants to Engage in Its
Manufacture in This City.

On Saturday the manufacturers
committee Of the board Of trade will
meet to consider proposal from a
concern organized to manufacture steel
tubing which is anxious to locate in this
city. The company was recently or
ganized by New York capitalists who
claim to have the only patents in exist
ence for the manufacture of weldless
and seamless steel tubes for use in
bicycle. hydraulic and pneumatic tubes
and presses, hollow shafting, roller
bearings and projectiles.
The company is capitalized at s5OO.O0O
and if it's plant is located in Scranton
100000 of that amount will have to be
raised in this city. The plant would
have an output of 35 tons of steel tubing
a day and would be a very extensive
affair.
Another concern that is now negotiat-
ing with a view to coming to Scranton
is company engaged in the manufac.
ture of mine cars.

murder In the first degree was render
ed. A rule for new trial was granted
q week later and at the subsequent term
of argument court 1t was argued be-
fore the three judges.
On October IA Judge Gunster handed
down an opinion which declared that
the prisoner had fair trial according
to the law Of the land. He was defend
cd with rare ability before an intelli-
sent and impartial jury. and after due
deliberation was found guilty. Judge
Cunster said he concurred in the ver-
dict and refused the defendant q new
trial!
On the same day the sentence of
death was pronounced Boschino's at
rorneys took the case to the supreme
court, with the result stated. Bos-
chiro's only hope now is the board Of
pardons. The governor will fix the date
of execution when the supreme court
decision Is certified to him.

reception at the Bicycle Club house
last night by the local Georgetown So
ciety. It was wholly informal af-

Many Of the out-of-town people who
came to see the game remained over to
meet the heroes. and as consequence
the attendance was representative OF
the whole valley. Dancing was the
principal source of enjoyment. The
Georgetown men made quite as deep
an impression sociably as they did ath-
letically, and can go back to their fel
lows, assured that they have won many
new "blue and gray" adherents.
