POLITICAL PICkUPS.

DR.. E. w. Rutter is the only Demo
crat who has publicly announced him
self as candidate for the legislative
nomination. He is in the field in earn
est and is not daunted by the majority
which Republicans claim they have in
the district. Mr.. Rutter will give any
of the opposition as hard run as they
could wish for, and if the Democrats
are at all desrous to reclaim the ''Old
Fourth" they should not forget that DR..
Rutter is one of the few men who can
lead them to victory next fall.
1t is very probable that Congressman
Leisenring will not be a candidate for
reelection. 1t is stated he will devote
all his time to fostering his guberna-
torial boom, which now leads all others.
&. l.. Halsey, the well-known White
Haven attorney, will be the Republi-
can candidate if Leisenrlng leaves the
field. His name has heretofore been
mentioned in connection with the office,
and Republicans regard him as one of
the strongest men in their ranks.
ID. j. McCarthy's senatorial aspira-
tions are no longer looked upon as
joke, nevertheless it is doubted in some
quarters whether he really wants the
nomination. His candidacy is one of
the political sensations of the year, and
has somewhat mystfied the men around
the county seat who dictate to the party
who the nominees shall be. Mccarthy
wears the air of man who Is confident
of getting there.
Frank DePierro and DR.. Tom Powell
are working harder on the North Side
than all the other candidates put to-
gether. Both expect solid delegation
from this section.
r. E. Donaughey's friends promise to
surprise the lower end by the number
of delegates he will have after the Re-
publican primaries are held

A fatal runaway accident befell Ran
slow A. Boone, Il prominent merchant of
st. Clair, and his wife on Monday night,
from the result of which the former was
killed and the latter is not expected to
live. Mr. and Mrs. Boone had been to
Port Carbon, about two miles away,
and We're on their way home in buggy
behind spirited horse. The animal took
fright when within few yards of St.
Clair and plunged headlong down steep
embankment into Mill creek Mr.. Boone
was injured about the head and was
killed almost instantly.
The accident occurred about o'clock,
but it was not discovered until nearly
two hours after by a passing boy. Mrs.
Boone was still alive, but lay beside the
dead body of her husband unconscious.
Owing to the prominence of the couple,
who are well known all through that
region, the accident created intense
sorrow

BELIEVE HE is INSANE,


Shamokin, Pa, May 5.-The little
village of Stonington is still greatly
excited over the terrible tragedy of
yesterday, and were it not for the be-
lief.that Kostetter is insane an effort to
mete out summary justice to him would
no doubt be attempted. He is closely
guarded in Jail and his sanity will be
made the subject of inquiry. He has
always been sober and industrious
young man and has held several posi-
tions of trust in this city. His wife
had no warning of her coming doom,
for Kostetter, after securing the
breachloading gun, went directly to
the room where his wife was sitting in
a rocking chair. He stepped up behind
her, took deliberate aim and blew her
head half off. Kostetter's mother. who
was just outside the door, ran into the
house Shocked by the terrible specta.
Gle which met her gaze she threw up
her hands and, uttering loud cry,
fell dead at the feet of aer son.
