Shall This Decision StandS
Editor Tribune.

EultOr tribune.
Sir-The arrest of Mahon and Little by
Chief Robling and their subsequent dis
charge by Alderman Millar, as recorded
in Monday and Tuesdays Tribune, in
wolves a principle that deserves more
than a passing notice. They were ar
rested for "a breach of the peace" Their
discharge implies that they had not
broken the peace. Shall this decision
stand? If it is right for Mahon and Lit
tie to sell and deliver their papers on
Sunday, then it is equally the privilege
of every merchant in Scranton to sell
and deliver his goods on the Lords day.
The delivery of Sunday newspapers is
certainly as clear a violation of the Sun
day laws of our state as the delivery of
dry goods or groceries. Now that which
would be construed as "a breach of the
peace" on a week day and on a Sunday
are two very different things. Boys and
men delivering and selling papers on
Sunday, however quietly done, are
great annoyance to quiet Sabbath-loving
people. Robling found men breaking the
laws of the state, which strictly pro-
hibts the performing of 'any worldly
employment or business whatsoever on
the Lords day (work of necessity and
charity only excepted" These men, in
delivng their papers, were also doing
that which is a great annoyance to every
true American citizen and a real dis
turbance in a Sabbath h-keeping commun-
ity. In all these things were they not
committing "a breach of the peace?" and
was 1t not the plain duty of Robling to
arrest them? And should not the alder
man have imposed the fine upon these
Sabbath-desecrators, provided by stat
ute? This is the way 1t looks to one who
is an entire stranger to all the parties
concerned. w. A. Beecher.

GRIFFIN INTERVIEWED.
After the convention M. H. Griffin
was seen by a Tribune reporter and
said that he would not be a candidate.
That, he said, was final. He had made
up his mind to that effect, had so noti-
fled the officers of the convention, and
was therefore not to be considered in
connection with the nomination. The
vacancy will be filled by the county
committee, under the following provis-
ion Of the party rules:
Untitled nominations shall be made by
a two-thirds vote of the entire county
committee; if the candidate shall fail in
receiving two-thirds of the committee
then the convention shall be re-assem-
bled for the purpose of making such
nominations.
Hon. Frank R. Coyne, of Old Forge,
is spoken of as Mr. Griffins possible
successor on the ticket.
Matthew Norton, of Carbondale, will
also refuse to run for prothonotary,
1T is said The men who were manag-
ing his campaign for him yesterday
refused to contribute anything towards
defraying the convention expenses and
intimated that he would have nothing
to do with the nomination. None of
the candidates were brought before
the convention yesterday.
The state delegates from this county
refuse to be bound by the resolution.
They say that they were elected by
legislative conventions and that a.
county convention has no right what
ever to try and instruct them.

A dispatch from Pendleton to the

of recent wool sales 'at that place, that
is rather encouI aging to wool owners
here: The largest sale of wool recorded
on. the coast this year was made by
Fred w. Hendley, who sold on com.
mission 100000 pounds raised at Echo,
in this county. There are 1900 sacks
and they fill 80 cars. The wool was
bought by E. Y. Judd, for the Hart
ford wool house of which he is mem
ber-H. G. Judd & Root. The wool
will come to Pendleton to be secured,
in transit. The buyers and sellers re-
fuse to say what prices were paid, fur
ther than that the total amount paid
was nearly S35, 200, which would give
close to cents pound. This price is
above the same last year. Before this
no sales had been recorded for several

Lewis S. Record, of Worcester,

to the St. Louis Republic, which is
rather suggestive at present.:
How well remember lasht fall at the lection,

I'd like to recall that same vote if I could.
For my wages wint down the very mkt week,

The ould mills deserted, and gloomy at that,
An all have lift for my share of the glory,

rather fortunate accident on the road

Prineville yesterday, and this morning
while pulling up a steep hill his trail
wagon broke loose, but he was unable
to stop his team suddenly. and the
pole that operated the brake of the
rear wagon, which was attached by a
rope to the seat of the font wagon,
gave way. The recoil of the rope
caused the pole to fly toward Mr.. Col

BOYS WILL BE BOYS.
WalIa waIIa Students Hold High Jinks
in Whitman College.

WalIa WaIIa Students Hold High Jinks
in Whitman College.
The Walla Walla Statesman gives
the following account of an escapade
of school boys in that city which is
characteristic of students, and calls TO
mind the fact that boys are just what
they were years ago, and when out for
lark do some very indiscrete things:
Some of the students of Whitman
college went on q rampage last Satur-
day evening the result of which was. q
general unjointing of things about the
usually quiet and we'll ordered college
grounds and buildings. The boys it
seems have been deprived of sufficient
physical culture for some reason or
other and the wasting muscle ap.
parently has ached for something to
aid developement. The climax ar
rived Saturday evening about 10
o'clock when the cabinet organ,
somewhat massive affair, was removed
from the chapel, down two flights of
stairs and across the campus to the
gymnasium. where it was deposited
and appropriately draped with dumb
bells and other muscle developers.
The janitor next came under the
notice of these wayward youths and
his bed found lodgment in the base.
ment of the college among the cobwebs
of past generations. The college
academy students have been supplied
with milk from quiet bovine with
crumpled horn that has been wont to
Craze for several summers on the coli
lege campus. This specimen of cow
hood was removed bodily, about as
Handy Andy placed his employers
horse in the cart, but the COW was
placed in the college chapel to Craze
upon stray notes dropped by the con-
servatory of music during recent drills
there. The COW since removed from
the chapel has been given no water
for fear of bloating. This old and use-
full animal was not discovered by the
janitor until nearly noon on Sunday,
by which time she had fully investi-
gated the amen corner, and in fact,
every portion of the room and
evidently in so doing made the in
spection thorough. if overturned seats
and general disorder indicate any.
thing.
Tne faculty had meeting and
called the students before them, but
nothing could be learned. Tuesday
evening President Penrose gave the
boys lecture of a somewhat severe
strain on the impropriety of such pro-
ceedings and il is not likely repeti-
tion will occur.
