From Hazleton Plain Speaker,
John Iona, n young man OF Freeland,
was arrested Friday evening by Cons
table lunsinger on a warrant sworn out
before Alderman Buchenau by Frank
10th charging him with forgery. On
May 2s he is alleged to have made out a
check on his own name in the amount
of s., but Mr. 10th claims it was not
detected until yesterday, when he went
to the bank for his old checks. The
check in question was cashed by William
Deisroth where the young man purchas-
ed a pair of trousers. The evidence ad-
duced was considered sufficient and he
was placed under bail. Edmund Lem
bick became his bondsman and thereby
saved the young man from going to Jail

The Maine Remembered.

On the face Of the new revenue stamps,
which are now being distributed, is en-
graved representation of the ill-fated
battleship Maine. The ship is pictured
as going at full speed through heavy
sea. From the smokestacks are pour
ing volumns of dense smoke. The
stamps, millions of which will be used
are silent though appropriate reminder
of the loss of the pride of the American
navy and 266 of her brave crew.

An old civil war veteran tells a good
story of how lazy private in his regi-
ment was cured OF shirking. 1t ap-
pears that the fellow was utterly no
good. He had been drafted into SER
vice, and thereafter devoted his whole
time and attention to getting out of
1t. He spent more than half Of his
time in the hospital tent. He ran the
gamut of all the diseases that flesh
is heir to or has acquired through It's
own misguided efforts. Somehow even
the severity Of military discipline was
inadequate to his case; shirk he could

One day the regiment was ordered
to battle. There was to be a long
hard march and fierce conflict at the
end Of it. When the orders came the
shlrker collapsed He was taken to an
ambulance, where he lay apparently In
a comatose condition, hearing nothing,
needing nothing. The surgeon, a new
officer Just appointed on the staff. was
sent for to see him. The physician
chanced to be keen-witted man, and
after taking in the situation he BAN
daged the fellows eyes, motioned to a
private to take his feet, while he him
self took the head, and without more
ado dumped the comatose shirker
head-foremost into the river AS n
was the dead of winter, with ice
blocks clogging the water, more yio-
lent remedy could not be imagined and
the way the fellow swan to shore was
a caution. From that day forth he
was never known to try his game of

HARRY oxLEYs eoaFESSES.
Emma Gill Preferred a Criminal
Operation Than Marriage.

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 26.-The
complaint against Oxley and Guernsey,
in the Emma Gill case, was changed to-
day from attempt to procure an abor-
ton to that OF manslau=hter. Guern-
sey is out on bail, but Oxley is still in
Jail.
1t was learned today that the brother
of Harry Oxley, who visited him at the
jail yesterday, took into his confidence
friend in this city, and told him the
substance of a confession alleged to
have been made to the police by the
arrested man. The brother said that
when Harry was arrested his mother
told him to tell the whole truth in the
case, and this is his story:
Emma Gill told me of her condition
and told Guernsey, and the latter told
me to marry the girl, if l felt sure the
responsibility was mine. / went to
Emma Gill and expressed my willing
ness to marr.y her, but she said this
was entirely unnecessary. She knew
DR.. Cuilford, and that she could cure
her of her trouble by an operation, and
she would get out of her trouble that
way. she did not wish to marry me
because there was another fellow Cos
teri who wanted to marry her and did
not know her true character He would
make her better home, she thought,
than l could, and considered him bet

Wyoming Goldbugs's Cold Reception
at Rock Springs.
Especial to The Herald,


Especial to The Herald)
Rock Springs, Wyo., Sept. 26.-The
opening of the Republican campaign
here in Sweetwater county this even
ing was far from a brilliant success. A
very small audience was present in
the opera house to greet the speakers
that had travelled far to entertain a
Rock Springs audience, and IS per cent
of those represented will not vote the
Republican ticket this fall.
The ball was opened by Judge knight
telling the audience that he had been a
resident of Wyoming for q years, but
he did not say that most of that time
he had fed at the public crib, nor did
he explain his decision on the supreme
bench that cost the people of Wyo-
ming $1,000.
Next Mr. Leroy Grant said he had
been a member of a half dozen legisla-
lures in Wyoming, after which Frank
w. Mondell told the people that he
would again like to go to congress,
even though he was repudiated two
years ago. He omitted to inform his
small audience whether he was draw
ing public money as assistant land
commissioner while stamping the state
of Wyoming for the Republican party.
The cold, clammy reception given the
great Republican leaders here in Rock.
Springs this evening only proves that
the Republicans are not making any
interest in politics this year, and that

ground was the Erie county delegation
and the gubernatorial boom for Justice

est TO be launched here. Mayor James
K. McGuire's friends are naturally nu-
merous and enthusiastic in his home
town.
All the Tammany delegation have not
yet arrived, but there are a sufficient
number here to keep the talk of Mayor
Van Wyck's candidacy before the pub

set back tonight when members of the
Erie county delegation announced that
Mr.. Croker had stated to them that the
candidate for governor would not be
named from territory south of Albany.
Mr.. Croker has stated from the be-
ginning that Tammany Hall had not
and would not have a candidate for
position on the state ticket.
The first gubernatorial candidate to
arrive here was Congressman William
SulZer. The next to arrive was John
B. Stanchfield of Elmira, who reached
here at o'clock tonight.
Elliott Danforth has not arrived at
late hour tonight, but his friends are
here in large force and his Autographs
are conspicuously displayed about the
city.
Speculation as the probable head of
the ticket obscured all other candidates.
Tonight no one dares to predict the
nominee for governor. Much depends
upon the vote of the Tammany Hall
and Kings county representatives, and
the impression prevails that the vote
from the lower end of the state will be
thrown to the country candidate who
develops the most strengthen the con-
vention.

of the DreyfuS affair, which Count Won
Munster sent by the usual course to
the kaiser, was intercepted and photo

Munster TO demand his passports, for
the ofIense was regarded as robbery
and an offense to the emperor, on the
principle of extra territoriality. When
Count Won Munster made this demand
at the palace of the Elysee, President
Casimir-Perier was overwhelmed with
the suddenness of the revelation and
was beside himself. In an extraordinary
scene he gave his word of honor, repu-
dating all connection with or Enowl-
edge of the affair and solemnly prom
ised to prevent a repetition of it.
Count Won Munster issued and sent
a report of this interview. This docu-
ment was similarly intercepted and
photographed, the negative arriving at
the French foreign office within rs
hours.
Some days later, on Jan. u, 1895,
Count Won Munster called at the palace
of the Elysee and suddenly announced
that Germany would mobilize her
troops forthwith unless satisfaction
was given for this new insult dra-
matte scene followed. Count Won Mum

Medford. Ore. Sept. 26.-The greatest
mining excitement ever known in north

They have taken out about so pounds of
gold and are very enthusiastic as to fu-

this evening, land my physician told
me today that 1 would have TO remain
here for two or three days"

that lie guessed he was a little tired

illness. While he is disposed to look
upon his illness as trifiing, it IS not
improbable that he will have to re-

been calculating on to enable the fever
to run its course.
