The Stegmaiers, of WilkeSbarre, have
joined the big brewery trust, which has
been buying up all the breweres in
Luzerne and Lackawanna counties dur
ing the past two or three months. The
StegmaierS are about the last to give
in; they have held out all along. and
said they would conduct their concern
as they have always done, but the power
of the trust and the price offered was at
last sufficient to induce them to sell out
1t is understood that 5000, 900. is the
price paid by the trust for the brewery.
and that in addition to this the Steg-
maierS get goodly slice of the corpor-
atoms stock.
Since the above announcement was
made the Stegmaers have authoritively
stated that the deal is off again and that
their brewery will remain independent.
As the trust owns every other prominent
plant in Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties, a beer war is due at anv time.

An apparently fair estimate places
the expenditures of the state in sending
troops to this region at $125,OOO. Adult
ant General Stewart was asked whether
the cost would reach 500, 900, and he
answered in the affirmative without
going into details. Governor Hastings
last week drew his warrant on the state
treasurer for $75, 900 to pay the several
organizations in service in LuZerne
county. Before that there had been
drawn from the treasury $4,000 on
account of the cost of the military
called out by the governor. Transports
tion, subsistence and quartermaster
stores remain to be paid. They will
probably involve the disbursement of at
least $4,000 additional. None Of the
standing appropriation of $350,00o is
appliable to the liquidation of debts con
tracted during active military services,
and this unnecessary plunge into the
treasury must be borne by the taxpayers.
The National Guard law of 1887 fixes
the pay of first sergeants at So day.
sergeants, 81; corporals, $1.75; musicians
and privates, $1.5O, land each enlisted
man after having served full term of
enlistment shall be entitled to an add-
tional pay of % cents per day for SER
vice during his second term and a
further addition of 25 cents per day for
service during each subsequent term Of
enlistment" Commissioned officers are
paid at the same rate per day as the
United States army officers, ranging
from IS to SIS, according to rank.

Richard P. Kealy on Friday evening
became an instructor in the Mining and
Mechanical Institute, succeeding w. j..
Douglas, of Hazleton. The latter did
not find life in the school quite as
pleasant since the Lattimer murder, in
which he figured as a deputy and is said
to have boasted of his work there, and
his resignation is considered about the
best step he could have taken in the in
terest of the institute. Douglas was
conceded to have been the most able
instructor the school had ever employed.
but his days of usefulness here were
over when he showed his true character

Candidates Names on Both Ballots.

The decision of Judge Mcpherson, of
the Dauphin county court, last week, re-
garding the manner of procedure in
cases where candidate for political
Office is nominated by more than one
party, was received with much satisfac-
tion in Schuylkil county, as, according
to this ruling the name of Judge O. p.
Bechte must be printed in both the Re-
publican and Democratic columns of the
official ballot.
Judge McPherson's decision was upon
the application for writ of mandamus
upon the secretary of the common
wealth, commanding him to certify the
nominations of the Democratic judicial
candidates of Philadelphia who had
been previously nominated by the Re-
publicans, and was, in effect, that the
amendment to the ninth section of the
ballot law by the last Legislature, "that
the name of any candidate shall not
appear more than once by certificate of
nomination, or more than once by nomi-
nation papers," was contrary to the
spirit of the constitution and that there
was no doubt of the invalidity of the
amendment He directed the manda-
didates nominated by both parties will
appear under both headings on official
ballots

The regular monthly meeting of the
borough council will be held this even
ing. Several important matters, it is
said, will be brought up for settlement.
The poll tax ordinance will probably be
introduced tonight, and the question of
removing the arc light from East Main
street. near the Public Park, will come
forward again. A motion was passed at
recent meeting ordering the Electric
Light Company to remove the lamp from
this point to the Grand opera house
corner. This action is not satisfactory
to many residents, and delegation is
expected to appear tonight to protest
against taking away the Main street
light
