POLITICAL PlCkUPS.

Newspaper men are getting into
politics on their own account instead of
boosting other people to all the good
things in life. In Carbon one of the
candidates for recorder is G. w. Nor
thinner, of the Lehigh Adr0cdte. The
Democrats should recognize the faterni-
ty in that county by giving him the nom
ination. OF his election there would be
little doubt.
The most badly fooled man in the
county is Morgan b. Williams. He
thought that by arresting Sam Boyd for
libel he could shut off the NeeosdedIer's s
talk about that 50, 900 affair. Instead of
accomplishing the object sought, the OK
senator has given Editor Boyd an open
ing and the latter is pouring hot stuff
into him daily.
Stanley Davenport, the present regis
ter of wills, is spoken of for renomina-
tion. Ho was elected three years ago
when the county went heavily Repnbli-
can, and with that record to show for
his strength there would be no mistake
made in placing him on the ticket this
year.
Local Republicans are taking lot of
interest in the legislative contest. All
the candidates have friends in town, and
the primaries promise to be unusually
interesting.
Democrats are beginning to think
that it is time dates were set for their
district and county conventions.
Freeland's only representative at tht
Kepubljcan convention in St. Louis is d
Democrat, u, +. Hanlon.

4,5OO,OOO Tons for July.

The latest advices in relation to the
anthracite coal trade tend to strengthen
the expectation of an advance of % cents
per ton on all domestic sizes of coal,
both at the the East and West on July l.,
and an increase in the output for July of
about 1000, 600 tons to 4,500,000 tons.
The advance will bring the circular to
S4.15 per ton for stove, CRATE $3.65, egg
and chestnut, $500. These are net
prices in July, 1895, were So. .35 for stove
and $500 for the other sizes, but last
year actual sales of anthracite were far
below the figures quoted and coal was
sold in many instances at an actual loss

ACCUSED OF KIDNAPPING.
Ball Player Charged With Taking a Girl
from IA Convent.

Detective p. c. Kavanaugh, of Roches-
ter, N. Y, was in Wilkcsbarre on Satur-
day with u warrant for the arrest of
Thomas O'Brien, left fielder in the
Toronto Eastern league club, which just
concluded series of three games there.
The warrant charges O'Brien with kid
mapping a iifteenyear-old girl from a
convent in Rochester about week ago.
What he has done with her is not known.
1t was not until some days after the
girl had escaped from the convent that
it was found with whom she had gone
and then Kavanaugh was engaged to
find her and to arrest O'Bren. Kava
naugh asked the aid of the local police
when he arrived at the county seat.
Chief Briggs sent an officer with him to
the ball game, and O'Bren was spotted.
After the game Kavanaugh followed the
team to Kingston where train was
taken.
At Scranton Il sleeper was to be
engaged on the train leaving there at
Sunday morning. 1t was expected that
arrest would be made on arrival in New
York state. The arrest was not made
in this state owing to the trouble that
would be required in procuring re
QUESTION papers.
O'Brien has made fair record as Il
ball player and before the event had
borne fair reputation.

Freeland. For some time he was chief
cutter in Refowich's tailoring establish
ment, but later went into business for

nesday morning at $50 o'clock, under
direction of Undertaken McNulty. Mass

Der of years ut Mountain Ash, in her

settled for few years at Audenriod, but
for more than thirty years she lived at
Upper Lehigh.
On December 16, 1877, her first hus-
band died and was buried at Upper Lee
