ANOTHER FROM LACKAWANNA.
Peter Mullen Objects to p. +. Foley's
Nomination for School Director.

According to Peter Mullen'S sworn
declaration the right of suffrage is not
wholly regulated by statute down in the
southwest district of Lackawanna
county.
Mullen yesterday filed objections to
the nomination of Patrick f. Foley for
the office of school director and the
objections were based on the grounds
that four non residents of the district
and sixteen or more non-reSidentS OF
the United States were voted by the
Foleyites; and further, the primary
board pursued it's duties without first
being sworn.
In his recital of particulars Mullen
AYERS that according to Democratic
custom in the township, the conferees
apportioned the nomination for school
director to the southwest district. jan
uary the primaries were held. Foley
received 90 votes and Mullen 92. Be-
fore the vote was finally counted Fo-
ley ballot was found in a box other
than the one used as a ballot-boX and
this was also counted. Daniel Hart
nett, James Reardon, Michael Shea,
and Timothy Collier, jr., who voted
for Foley, he alleges We're not residents
of the district and James Cotter, Mich
ael Hartnett, Patrick Hartnett, James
Hartnett Jacov Sencairch, William
Reseski, James Selveska, Frank Paski,
Powele Paski, Stanley Gowestki, James
Shea and others also voted, and voted
for Foley, though non-residents of the
United States. Each and every one of
them was challenged, but the board dis
regarded the challenges. Another
ground for the contest is that the board
entered upon it's duties without taking
the oath provided by law.
Court upon receiving the petition fix
ed January 27, at 9 o'clock a. m. as the
time for hearing the arguments in the
case.

PROSPECTING FOR COAL,
Wiikes-Barro Capitalists Have In
vadcd n New Field.

Biologists and mining experts have
always entertained a vague idea that
there were coal deposits on the noun
tains between here and Bear Lake. 1t
is not generally known that experts are
at present prospecting for coal in that
district. For several months past
number of prospectors have been at
work driving in tunnels on ledge on
the mountain up Shades Creek. The
workmen are boarding at Blakeslies.
They have, 1t is stated, opened up a
small vein, which Is not of sufficient
thickness to be of marketable use.
However, the indications are that they

Henrietta-Why are you so anxious, dear,
To visit the poultry show?
Featherless- Because the thought my

tests agreeing within three-tenths of a
degree. This change was made because
the present law provides for a sliding
scale of duties on fractions of a degree
and because it was believed that this
method, which follows the commercial
practices, would be fairer to all con-
cerned. Warrant for this change was
obtained from an opinion rendered by
the Solicitor of the Treasury.
All that portion of the regulations
applying to polarization by chemists is
new, and it is believed by the depart
ment that it will give the Government
the benefit of scientific methods, which
have greatly improved since the act of
1888. The regulations were prepared
by a committee of experts, which in
clude the chemists of the Agricultural
Department, officers of the Internal
Revenue Bureau and experts of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey.

THE DRIED FRUIT TRADE.

Coast Producers Find Ready Markets
for Crops.
The Chronicle says it is a great thing
to find a market in which there is no
competition. j. A. Filcher, who has
been in charge of the California ex-
hibit in Hamburg, reports that Coast
producers have such a market in Ger
many for all dried fruits except prunes.
These include peaches, apricots and
pears. California fruit men, of course,
dry apples, but presumably cannot
profitably ship them to Germany in
competition with New York and New
England. There are no countries in
the northern hemisphere which are
ever likely to compete with California
in the three products above mentioned,
unless Southeastern Europe, the chief
competitor in prunes, should add them
to it's business. Meantime, California
has the market, and it is being made
the most of Dried fruit can never be
sold to Germany at high prices; at
least not in any great quantity. The
Germans are a thrifty, saving people,
who do not let their appetites run away
with them, and who will not buy dried
fruits, however good, unless they buy
them cheaply. But at moderate prices
the market is sure.
The Oregon Agrictulturist says that
there will be this year shipped to the
Eastern market from Oregon and
Washington very large quantities of
fresh Italian prunes. The Italian prune
is a Fellenberg of a somewhat differ
ent strain from that raised to a limited
extent in this State under the name of
German prunes. The quality of the
fruit is essentially the same, although
we think the Oregon climate better
adapted to this variety than that of
most parts of California, and the fruit
should average larger. The Fellenberg
has always been one Of our best-sell-
ing varieties of fresh fruit, and has
been much relied on as an income
producer in the later districts. 1t is a
good drying prune as well, and unless
it will bring on the average of 81 per
crate in Chicago is worth more for |
drying than for shipping.

HAND OF THE NEW WOMAN.

Movement on Foot in Boston TO
Gust Bachelor Politicians.
BOSTON, Mass, September 5.-The
recent manifeso Of Mrs. Charlotte
Smith against the bachelor politician
was the subject of much attention from
the Woman's Rescue League of this
city yesterday.
AS a result a set of resolutions was
passed setting forth that the American
bachelor politician shirks his duty to
vide a home for some good woman be-
fore he engages in the profession of
politics, therefore he is not to be trust
ed after he has entered a political
arena in which temptations surround
him on all sides, and that, unfortunate
ly, modern society has heretofore
given the political bachelor too much
latitude by ignoring his private life.
The resolution reads:
Resolved, That as far as practical
BILE list of bachelor politicians who
tanned in the State of Massachusetts,
and formal protests be sent out
against their election or reelection by
the WOman's Rescue League, on the
ground that they are ineligible to hold
public office"
The league extends it's congratula-
lions to eX-Mayor Edwin Upton Curtis
of Boston on his approaching marriage
and recommends for him a tWo-year
vacation from politics in which to en-
joy his honeymoon.

Few people, says the Pittsburg Tele-
graph, have any idea of the Importance
of the bituminous coal industry in the
United States. Since 1893 it has led in
point of market value the mineral
products of the country. Pennsylvania
leads all the States in the Union in
the production, it's output for last year
having been 100000 tons, valued at
$35,000,000; but this was a million tons
less than for the preceding year. West
Virginia apparently supplanted the
product of this State, the production of
our neighbor increasing 100000 tons,
and aggregating nearly 10000 tons,
valued at S8,336,000.

RESEMBLING OF SUGARS.
Treasury Department Promulgates
New Regulations.


New Regulations.
WASHINGTON, September 5.-The
Treasury Department has reported the
regulations governing the sampling
and classification of imported sugars
and moIasses under the new tariff law,
and they will be formally promulgated
tomorrow.
One of the principal and most i'm
portant of the changes made in the old
regulations, which were made in 1883,
is a provision requiring that the re
sample of sugars shall be taken at the
time the original sample is taken.
This provision has been expedient to
prevent any suspicion of irregularity.
Many new provisions were also includ-
ed in the regulations with the object of
securing uniformity at the different
laboratories where sugars are tested.
AS soon as the change can be made,
only the half-shadow pOlariscope will
be employed in making tests instead of
the color instruments now in use, and
all other instruments and apparatus
will be standardized by the officials of
the Coast and Geodetic Survey in or
der to secure uniform results.
The tests for the classification of SUI
CARS have been changed so that the
average tests agreeing within two
tenths of 1 per cent shall govern clas-
sification. Under the act of 1883 the
determining test was the lowest OF two

erased the writing. The whole had

Attorneys Boyle & Beale have been
retained by Mrs. William La Barre, of
Price stret, West Side, to prosecute a
$4,000 damage suit against various Off
cials and citizens of Bradford county
who it is alleged unlawfully incarcer-
ated her father, L. A. Price, of Austin
vile, in the insane asylum.
, The suit is directed against Sheriff
n. NJ. Fell, Constable Bestan, DR..
Payne. James Vernon, Moses Watkins
and Claude Garrett. 1t is alleged that
on April ., these parties without war
rant or authority seized the defendant
and caused him to be imprisoned as a

for nine days, when his daughter, Mrs.

JURY TRIAL DECLARED OFF.
Franz Divorce Case will Pass
Through the Usual Channels.


Mrs. Clara Franz yesterday filed a
petition with. Prothonotary Pryor by
permission of Judge Gunster withdraw
ing her request for jury trial and her
answer to the libel filed by her hus-
\ band, ex-County Commissioner Will
lam Franz, in the divorce proceedings
now pending between the parties. Mr..
Franz charged his wife with cruel and
barbarous treatment and unfaithful-
ness. She filed an answer denying each
charge and demanded that the case be
heard before Jury instead of the testi-
mony being taken and passed upon by
one of the judges as is usual in divorce
cases.
The case was set down for trial in
common pleas court on May 81 and
some very spicy testimony was prom
ised. Recently, through their attor-
neys, Mr. and Mrs. Franz had an un-
derstanding and as a result she with
draws her request for a jury trial and
che divorce proceedings will now pass
through the usual channel, The par
dies to the suit have been married about
two years and they have had anything
but a harmonious existence.
AS a part of the recent agreement
Mrs. Franz, it is said, will receive an
annual allowance. She is represented
by Attorneys Beale and Boyle and At
torney NJ. w. Lowry is counsel for Mr..
Franz.
