ers at Lhttimer Last Fail.
wilkesbarre, Pa, Jan. 31.-The case
Of sheriff James Martin and his so
deputies, charged with murder and
]felonious wounding of a score of strik-
Ing miners, at Latimer this county, on
Sept. 10 last. will be called for trial in
the criminal court tomorrow. 1t is ex-
pected that the trial will last a week,
and it may be longer before a verdict
is reached. Able counsel have been
employed on both sides. District At
torney Martin will be assisted in the
prosecution by John NJ. Garman, chair
man Of the state Democratic commit
tee, and John McGahrin. Both are
shrewd criminal lawyers of consider
able experience, each having served a
term in the district attorneys office.
They are employed by the relatives of
the men who were killed. John II.
Lenahan. one of the leading criminal
lawyers of this section of the state,
will be the senior counsel for the de-
Tense. He win be assisted by ex-State
Senator Kline. George II. T%routman,
George S. Ferris and possibly two other
lawyers of note.
The first battle will be over the Sc
lection of n jury. The prosecution will
attempt to eliminate from the box all
men who are in any way related to the
many defendants. II is not likely that
any employe of a coal company win be
selected. A farmer jury woul suit
the prosecution, but 1t Is not likely that
the men from the rural districts will
predominant in the box. The defense
will take care that no professional la
Dor leaders or others who may have
]preiudices against corporations are
chosen.
The verdict will depend on points OF
law more than upon the testimony
The commonwealth will claim that the
strikers were only exercising theii
rights as American freemen when they
marched on the public highway un
armed. 1t will be contended that they
We're not lawless: that they had of
fered no personal violence to any one
and that thev were not bent on de.
stroying property. on the other hand
the counsel for the defence will charge
that the strikers were r%iotous; thai
they We're armed, and that their inten
ton was to destroy property. They
will call witnesses to show that thu
people living in the strike district wer,
fearful for their lives, and hat som,
of them moved away for safety.

As a freight train bound from Shamokin to
Packerton was passing the Shenandoah
Junction at one O'Clock this morning with
hauling and pushing engines, a caboose be.
tween the rear end of the train and tho
pusher jumped the track. The accident was
not discovered, however, until the train
almost reached the Centre street crossing, by
which time the cabuose was badly broken up
and one of its trucks was caught by the
pusher. 1t is remarkable that the rear
engine was not thrown from the track. The
caboose was run ON TO a siding at the Lehigh
Valley depot and this morning a wreck crew
from Dolano took it away.

The Pension Steal.

Some idea may be obtained of the
extent and enormity of the pension
steal that is going on in this cour-
try by consulting the figures re-
Gently published by the pension de-
partment for the past fiscal year.
From these figures it is learnt d
that 1851 pensioners have been
dropped from the rolls on account
of deaths, and for remarrying and
other causes 1850 or a total of
1851. One would think that the
rapid b)otting out of the accounts
of the pensioners would decrease
the number but such is not the
case. The total number on the
rolls at the close of the year was
963, ia, which was an increase Of
II, $50 over the roll at the close of
the previous year. Hence while
1861 were added, after thirty
three years have passed and gone,
nearly $4,000 ex-soldiers haYe been
placed upon the pension rolls, which,
in spite of the large number Of
names that were dropped, increases
1890 When the back claims are
paid, claims and accounts against
the goyeroment that have been
pending for a third of a century
shall haye been settled, the bill will
foot up an amount equal to the
cost of the war. The whole North
ern army seems to be getting on
the pension roll, and when to this
is added the new crop of pensioners
sure to result from the present or
recent war, the cost to the govern
ment will be startling, Memphis

Our neighboring country, Canada,
proposes to vote upon national pro-
hibition September 20, and it is
generally conceded the proposition
will carry. The measure proposed
is a very stringent one, prohibiting
the importation, manufacture or
sale OF spirits, wine, ale, beer, cider
and all other alcoholic liquors for
use as a beverage, Leaving outside
of the question everything else, it
is apparent that national prohibit
ton is the one method by which the
end can best be accomplished. In
this country with Kansas prohibit
tion State and Missouri lying along
side "@ide-open" prohibition is han
dicapped. But did the United States
constitution forbid the Importation
and manufacture of liquor the sit
uation would be altogether different.

frantic efforts of a young lady
taking, by the light of the moon,
her first lesson in bicycle riding the

you may judge of his surprise when
after being thrown headlong from
the machine she scrambled hastily
to her feet, rearranged her ruffied
skirts, picked up the bike, eyed it
carefully a moment, and, turning
with an innocent smile in the
direction of the young man, said
sweetly. "Hey, there, Mister! I've
