CoYLE is SUPREME.
BRUMM MAKES THE EX-SENATOR DIsTRmU-
TOR OF PATRONAGE.

TOR OF PATkONAdhs
From Pottsville Chronicle
The trial of strength has been made be-
tween Coyle and all the rest Of the Brumm
supporters in the matter Of the Shenandoah
post office and Coyle is to land his man.
Coyle's man is a stranger to the Republicans
Of the county; his name is Bedeau, or Bed
dow. Bedeau, until recently, lived in North
umberland county. He is a coal and iron
policeman and his advent into politics was
made when he made the desperate fight for
COyle for State delegate this year.
The friends of Messrs. Straughn, Fowler,
Dengler and Edwards have been comparing
notes. They find that Coyle, Bedeau and
Brumm have been conveniently reaching
Philadelphia on the same day and about the
same hour and that after each conference
Bedeau would return home and importune
the friends of the different other candidates
for letters endorsing him. Bedeau. Bedeau
stated when he would request these letters
that he was to be appointed and that he
knew that if he could just get these partic-
Il ar letters that there would be no doubt
about his appointment
Brumm sent word to Messrs Fowler and
Bedeau and their friends last week that thei1
names would be the only names considered
for an appointments; that he wanted them tc
appear to-day and draw straws for the position
Fowler as it was well understood he would
Indignantly refused the proposition, stating
that he would not draw straws with a man
that he did not know as Shenandoah Re
publican politician aud who was only knowr
in politics the past year and then as Coyl,
advocate.
Mr.. Fowler was in town with his faithful
friends day and had long and earnest con
sultatons with Mr. Brumm. Brumm gave
the Fowler people to understand that they
did not draw straws, which made the solution
easy for him, and that he would appoint
Bedeau. Mr.. Fowler's friends made severa
different propositions in writing to Mr.
Brumm, One was that Brumm should selec
twenty prominent working Republicans O
Shenandoah and let them decide, or that tn,
different other candidates would agree t,
select each three friends and agree upon on,
among them. Congressman Brumm rejected
each of these propositions saying that j
they did not come in under his terms, tn,
man should be Bedeau.

The Shamokin Street Railway Company
will close down operations next Friday night.
This was unanimously decided upon at
meeting of the directors. The cause is given
that it is impossible to pay expenses and the
resolution passed states that a resumption
will take place at such time as they believe
it will pay. The company's action is pro-
bably due to Shamokin's council refusing to
make any concessions in reference to paving

RUSSIAN ARITHMETIC.
Queer Variation of the sixtsen te
One Problem.

WASHINGTON, July II, 1SS7.-Russis
has experienced some difficulty in revers-
ing her standard of value by simple de-
cree, as shown in a report to the State
Department by United States Consul Hee-
nan at Odessa. He says
Z 1.-THE change inaugurated about two
years ago in the currency of Russia from
a silver to what is supposed to be gold
basis has had somewhat depressing ef-
feet upon the mind of the peasant farm-
ers. By Imperial edict it was made
known that a 1ve-rouble gold piece
would, until further notice, be equal to
seven roubles and fifty copecks paper
currency, and check drawn on any Rus
sia bank for seventy-ffve roubles must
be considered paid should the holder re-
ceive fifty roubles in gold.
The masses of Russia are said to be
uneducated and ignorant, nevertheless
when they were offered hve-rouble gold
piece in payment of a debt due them for
seven roubles and fifty copecks, they re-
fused to accept it and pointed out that
stamped on the gold piece in plain Rus
sian characters, were the words five
roubles,' and they furthermore demanded
to know why it was that they were ex-
pected to believe that twice two and q
half made seven roubles and fifty copecks
in money or anything else. The govern
gency and recoined the same five roubls
gold piece and stamped on it seven
roubles and fifty cepecks, which nlus-
trates the old adage that there are more

BY Gable to The Associated Press.l
LONDON, July II, 1S97.-A despatch from
Baku, an important seaport of Russian
Transcaucasia, on the west coast of the
Caspian Sea, the seat of large petroleum
industries, says that a fire broke out
there early yesterday morning, attack
ing the great naphtha springs known as
the Teherny Gorodok 1t spread rapidly
and destroyed five refineries and large
wharf All work at adjacent refineries
has been suspended. At five O'Clock last
evening the fire was still unsubdued. Sew
eral persons have been burned to death
ard many seriously injured
About 100000 pounds of kerosene have
been consumed Baku is situated on the
peninsula of Apsheron, five hundred and
sixty miles southeast of Batoum, on the
Black Sea, with which it is connected by
railway. and about one thousand miles
southeast of Constantinople The old
town stands on declivity, the summit of
which is crowned by apiace of the for
mer khans. The marvellous development
of the petroleum trade which has taken
place since about 1870 has caused the
limits of tho town to expand, SO that
there are now two divisions, the old
white" town, where are the mosques,
and the black" town, which is devoted
exclusively to the refining of petroleum,
supplied by more than 500 wells in the vi
cinity, which is piped to the town and
prepared for export Baku was in an

the fire worshippers. They still have
temples there, and many of them, the
Parsees, spend their days in worship and
in penitential exercises.

BOULEVARD DEsTROYERS FINED.
Notwithstanding salinger's Rage the
RottIers Lose Their Case.

Herman Freund, President of the Hud-
son County Bottlers' Protective Associa-
ton and the President of the Boulevard
Destruction Association, was tried before
Justice Potts, in the Second Criminal
Court this morning, for driving laden
wagon on the County Road on Sunday
last after three o'clock in the afternoon.
He was found guilty and fined s.. Freund
was represented by counselor Max Sal
niger while Frederick Frambush, Jr., ap-
peared on behalf of the Board of Free
holders.
The complaint was review and SalingSr
held that it was worthless as the Free
holders have no jurisdiction in the mat
ter The Boulevard, he contended, is a
public road, and as such any kind of
vehicle may be driven over it.
The Freeholders have no right to pass
ordinances to the contrary. A copy Of
argued on technicalities for nearly half
an hour. Justice Potts overruled all of
Salinger's objections. At one point in the
man BUckbee, who arrested Freund, and,
shaking his fist at him, said:-.'If you
ever arrest another man for driving on
the Boulevard I'll have you arrested and
punished for false Imprisonment"
.sOficer,'' said Justice Potts, calling Sal
niger to order with a loud blow on his
desk, you have your orders from the
chief of police and if you do not obey
them charges will be preferred against
you. You are to to arrest every person
you find driving a heavy wagon on the
Boulevard after three o'clock in the after
Don't you dare arrest one of my eli
ents, or you will suffer" persisted Salin-
ger When Justice Potts imposed the
fine Lawyer Salinger served notice that
ne will certiorari the case to the Supreme
Court.
