FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 3, 1897.



The Democrats of Luzcrne county
were fortunate this year in having none
but strong and reliable men to select
from in making their ticket, and the
result is that they can 90 before the
voters in the coming campaign with full
confidence in the nominees. 1t is
customary after conventions are held
for the newspapers which are affiliated
with the party to give the candidates
laudatory notices and eXtol their char
acters and records, and this, sometimes,
when the praise is not fully deserved.
However, this year the Democrats have
n ticket which Democratic newspapers
and Democratic workers can give their
unqualified endorsement, without rosor-
walton of any kind, for the nominees are
as clean and honorable set of men as
any whose names have ever graced the
banners of the old party in this county.
Colonel 7. r. Martin is man whose
ability, integrity and sterling worth
should have been recognized years ago
by the voters of this county. He stands
in the front rank of LuZerne's legal pro-
fesson, he has the necessary experience
to fit him for the important position and
his honesty of purpose is a requisite
which is sadly needed in the office to
which he aspircs As district attorney
Mr.. Martin would be allowed the oppor-
tunity to give the public full benefit of
his talent, and the standing Of the Office
would, under him, be raised from the
fee-grasping sinecure into which it has
fallen in recent years.
He is a Democrat whose services to
the party are second to none in Luzerne,
who has helped more Democrats to fame
and fortune than any other man in the
county. and gratitude from his bcnef-
Charles alone should win him the cleo
tion. But better still is his record as a
man-and this is what will attract
thousands Of Republican votes to him
and makes his election seem already as
Sured.
Paul Dasch needs no introduction to
the voters Of this vicinity. His resi-
dence among them gives them better
idea of who he is and what he is than
words can express. He is one of those
whose presence acts as n sort Of inspira-
tion upon all about him. There is a
magnetism in his nature which makes

resemblance to the bicycle goes no furth-
er. The small sprocket wheel which is
driven from the large sprocket on the
main shaft by the medium of u chain is
secured to a small rotary pump which
is fastened at the rear of the frame.
he suction pipe of the pump ends near
the bottom of the tub and the discharge
pipe is curved as shown in the engrav-
ing and ends in the sprinkler arrange
ment common to all shower baths. A
cock halfway up the discharge pipe
permits of the water being turned on
to the sprinkler or through the hose and
nozzle, depending on whether bath is
desired or not.
1t is, of course, perfectly possible to
obtain the exercise without getting wet,
the pump furnishing the resistance nee
essary for the exercise and the water
which is pumped being discharged by
means of the rubber tube and nozzle.
When the rider has exercised sufficient
ly, he can reach backward and turn the
cock so as to let the water pass upward
and out of the sprinkler. The harder he
pedals, the larger the stream.
1t is possible to direct stream of
water on any part of the body by means
of the nozzle connected with the rub
Der tube. The tub can be divided into
two compartments, one containing hot
water and the other cold water. and the
cold and hot douche may then be used
at will. The device could be made to set
in any ordinary bathtub. Itwould seem

Criticism Of the Foote by the Naval
Inspection BOnri.

The naval inspection board in recon-
mending the acceptance of the tor3edo
boat Foote. built by the Columbian iron
works of Baltimore has taken occasion to
severely criticise the design and construc-
ton of that vessel The criticism came al
most entirely from the line officers of the
board. The boat fulfilled the speed con-
tract requirements. The board in its re-
port asserted that the steering gear was
defective in that it damned when put hard
ever and could be gotten back only when
the engines stopped. Sucn steering quail
ties. says the board, would be fatal in an
attack, but 1t admits that the fault can be
remedied. Steam steering gear is really
useless on such small craft in any case
they find. Admitting that the boat is re-
markedly steady at high speeds the board
finds that she carries great stern wave;
that She carries bone in her teeth" and
this, in their opinion, is also d grave fault
The boat is found to be structurally sound
and the interior well arranged. and, in
fact in all respects in compliance with the
contract, but the board sums up its objec-
press the board as being a successful type
OF torpedo boat, their opinion being based
on (a) lack of speed: (b) her poor steering
qualities: (c) her great disturbance of the
water. Her contract speed was attained
with great difficulty after delay of nearly
two hours before going over the course
and with such effect upon the men that inn
mediately upon passing the final buoy the
boat was stopped out in the water for an
other two hours and all hands rushed on
deck for relief, one man dying before the
Foote could reach Annapolis and anot her
so overpowered to be rendered useless
the remainder of the day and possibly for
some tire. Moreover this speed, which
was barely developed is below the average
of that of foreign torpedo boats of her
Glass;
Chief Engineer Rocker and Constructor
Hanscom, who were the trial board.
dissented from the majority opinion that
the Foote was not successful boat. They
say she exceeded the contract speed and
was not pushed until the last part of the
second run, though she carried $50 tons of
surplus weight. The delay in starting over
the course was caused by inferior coal and
not through any fault of the boat. The
trial itself was made on a very hot day,
when even the people on deck suffered
from the heat, and the prostration of the
two men in the engine rooms was attribu-
table TO a leak of steam, which did not in
any way show the inefficiency of the vessel.
Altogether, they say that no torpedo boat
has ever been tried under such conditions
of temperature, and say the Foote will
stand comparison with foreign boats. The
Navy Department took the same view of
the matter and accepted the Foote 0rovi-
Sionally.

-FOUR BROTHERS SENTENCED,
The Misfortune Which Has Overtaken
the Spray Family.

The Misfortune Which Has Overtaken
the Spray Family.
Misfortune has fallen upon four members
of the Spray family at Paris, Texas, and
the county judge there sentenced the quar-
tet to prison. Two OF them, James D.
Spray and Robert s. Spray, twin brothers,
seventeen years old, were sentenced to the
District reform school, while two older
brothers were sentenced to the peniten-
tisry.
The twin brothers arrived here last night
and were quartered at the first precinct.
According to their statement an older
brother was arrested for what they termed
Cow theft" or. in other words, for steal
ing a COW. When his case came up for
trial the three brothers were put on the
stand as witnesses, but their efforts did
not save their brother, who was sent over
the road. Following his sentence, the three
remaining brothers were arrested for per-
jury, with the result stated. The boys
who were brought here declare they are
innocent, and say when they return to Par
is they intend to prove their innocence.
With them was Edward Brown, nineteen
years old. who had also been sentenced to
the District reform school. His offense
was horse stealing. Today the three pris-
oners were taken to the institution to be
formally placed in the care of the officials.
