PROMISE VS. PERFORMANCE

In the platform Of the Silver party
whose convention was held at Reno
last week, very little space was taken
up in promises to the people.
On the contrary attention was call
ed to the way the pledges of four year.
ago had been kept.
The followingswill repay the intel
ligence perusal Of every voter in the
State Of Nevada.
We invite comparison of the four
years during which the Silver party
has been in control Of the State
Government with the last four
years of the Republican regime.
The expenses Of the last Republican
Legislature amounted TO S5I, 600. that
of the last Silver Party Legislature
SEC, 500. The expenses of the EN-
ecutive Department for the last year
Immediately preceding Silver Party
control amounted to over SIS, 500,
while but S26, 500 were the expenses
of the Executive Department for 1897.
For the last four years OF Republican
management S.. 900 were expended in
public buildings as against $4,000 by
the Silver Party. And during the
period in comparison IN support of
the public schools of the State, the
Silver party expended $4,000 as
against S256 500 by the Republican
party. No one can the fore
going and many other facts and fig
.ures unlch might be adduced, with.
out the resulting conviction that the
Silver party has fulfilled its promise
Of retrenchment with reference tC
salaries of State officials and The
curtailment of unnecessary expenses
while, on the other hand. it has gen
e%rously fostered the educational ant
charitable institutions of the Stat
and wisely contributed to its publ
improvement.
The above will be a hard nut forth
opposition TO crack this fall. 70
years the voters of Nevada have bee
surfeited with campaign promises.
For the FIST time in their lives tt
people of Nevada have witnessed
political party fulfilling its pledges {
1eforrm and actually giving the PEG
pie retrenCh1nent.
In the old days of Republican rul
the Legislature session were the wilc
est debauches of extravaganza, bier
NAL rake down of the treasury whic
was at times something appalling
The Silver party has cut these e:
penses down in order to give II
money to permanent educational i
situations and the education of Ne
adas growing generation of boys al
girls.

ENGINE LEFT THE TRACK.
Scranton Excursionists Delayed Go
ing to Harvey's Lake.

A narrow escape from a railroad
accident occurred yesterday on the
branch of the Lehigh Valley road
that runs from Wilkes Barre to Har-
veys lake. Pulling a train of nine
cars filled with Scranton people 60
ing to Harvey's lake under the aus
pices of the Scranton Athletic club,
were two engines on the valley road.
The front engine jumped the track
going up the steep grade a mile above
Trucksville, near Dallas. Fortunate
ly the link connecting the iengines
broke when the jump was made. The
engine dashed along the ties of the
track for one hundred feet tearing
away several of them.
A delay of two hours was caused by
the accident, the eXcursionists
reaching their destination at noon.
About fifteen feet back from where
the engine left the track is bridge.
Had the connecting link of the en-
gines not parted the result might have
been serious.

THEIR ANNUAL CLAM BAKE.
Railroad Men Have an Enjoyable
Time at Lake Poyntelle.

Fifteen hundred persons yesterday
attended the fifth annual excursion and
clambake of G.. w. West Division, No.
ass, Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, at Lake Poyntelle. The head
quarters of this division are at Carbon
dale and its members are employed by
the New York, Ontario and Western
and the Erie Railroad companies. The
annual clam bake of this division is a
notable event in railroad circles and
never fails to attract large crowd.
The bake yesterday was in charge
of Professor Ward Edwards, of New
York, and seven skillful assistants
Results obtained demonstrate that
they are artists in their special line
of work. The bake was unqualifiedly
approved by every person who partook
of ii. Some idea of the number of
persons who dined with the railroad
men may be obtained from the fact
that in the bank where the baking was
done were 10000 clans, 800 pounds of
blue fish, 500 pounds Of chicken, 2,UvO
ears of corn and four barrels of sweet
potatoes.
There were other attractions besides
the bake, too. Many found enjoyment
az oootiib oIl NHt ldhe, While others
sought the pavilion where delightful
music was discoursed for the dancers
A heavy shower late in the afternoon
somewhat marred the pleasure of the
day.
Among the well-known railroad men
who attended the bake were the fol-
lowing from the New York, Ontario
and Western railroad: G. w. West,
superintendent Of motive power, after
whom the entertaining division was
named; c. H. Hopkins. superintendent
of the southern division; w. C. Harti-
gan, superintendent of the northern
division; General Road Foreman Nor
gan, of Norwich, and his assistant, w.
Daley; George O'Neill, road foreman,
Middletown; f. G. Stoutinger, general
road foreman, Mayfield; P. II. Minchell,
general road foreman, Middetown;
John E. Walsh, assistant passenger
agent. The Erie company was repre-
sented by State Senator L. b. Hard
enberg, of Honesdale, inspector of con-
ductors; Superintendent Dove, of Car

The aldermanic mills ground neither
little nor slowly yesterday. They did
business to beat the band" according
to one constable's statements and his
fraternity and the alderman were con-
sequently happy.
Walter Silman. a student at Snyder's

Harry Schoneld, Factoryville youth,
smoked cigarettes and wore a swagger
when arraigned before Alderman Mil
lar. While in the D., L. and w. depot
Schoneld had refused to be orderly
when so requested by Special Officer
Williams. Schofield said he could run
faster than the officer and would be
blankety- -blanked if he didn't do as he
pleased. Williams said he wouldn't
and grabbed him in order to make the
statement good.
The aldermans verdict was s. or 20
days. SChofield left a ladies' gold
watch AMI chain as security and went
out and got the money. He had only
five minutes to catch the 6 o'clock
train for Factoryville.
John Youlasz, of $40 Larch street,
Dunmore, is one of the latest victims
of the Citizens Law and Order League.

Jack Norton Won the One Hundred
Dollar Stake.

The foot race for 800 between Seth
Jones and Jack Norton was decided on

was a most interesting and exciting
one. Hundreds of the friends of the
runners came from Scranton and the
neighborhood to witness the contest;
and they were not disappointed.
Norton. who weighs one hundred and
seventy pounds, was in splendid FORM
and Jones. who is about a hundred
ana fifty, was in equally good form.
At the pistol shot Norton led off at a
good pace, leading up to about fifty
yards. Then Jones came ahead but did
not succeed in outpacing Norton, who

four yards. Fadden and Madigan

Western railroad near Lake Poyntelle.
The company already has a number

VIII be improved somewhat this fall.
At Belmont lake II was yesterday de-
cided to build fve large ice houses
which will be equipped with improved
machinery for handling and storing
ice. The lakes owned by the company
are fed almost exclusively by springs
and a fine quality of ice Is obtained.
Owing to the high altitude of the lakes
they are great ice producers.

CLOSING PERFORMANCES.
This Is the Last Day of Sipe &
Blake's Circus,

Sipe q Blake's great trained animal
exhibition will close it's engagement
today, giving exhibitions this after
noon and tonight. Everybody should
see these little dumb actors. Messrs.
Sipe & Blake have spared neither time
nor expense to make this the greatest
entertainment of its kind. The ponies,
dogs and monkeys perform some tricks
that seem almost impossible.
They are trained to retain their
equilibrium in the most difficult posi-
tions and do tricks which are executed
with almost human intelligence. The
bareback riding of Scout, the dog, is
the most wonderful feature of the en-
tertainment.

SEVERE WIND STORM.
It Heralded Yesterdays Heavy
Downpour of Rain-Some of the
Damage That Was Done.

a view of yesterdays storm from the
top floors of the Mears, Board of Trade,
Traders bank and other high buildings
was grand. The direction of the wind
was from east by northeast to west by
southwest. 1t blew up suddenly and
without more than about two minutes
warning, although for sometime there
had been indications of rain.
Many flag and awning was stripped
from its fastening after the first fury
of the storm was felt. Buildings shook
and trembled in the violence of the
gale and within a minute the hill Sec
tion of the city was almost obscured
in sea of whirling dirt and coal dust
which had increased in volume as it
began its progress across the valley
from west to east.
From heighth the streets and ave-
nues in all directions seemed to be
turned for the time into whirling
streams of CRIME and dirt.
The leaden colored sky above and
the dust beneath turned the day into
almost night within a moments time.
In but few offices could ordinary busi-
ness be continued without artificial
light.
Before the crashing peals of thunder
were heard in the city and while the
gale was at its heighth the ridge of
the mountains on the west were con-
stantly showing a frill of vivid flashes
of lightning. Thunder and lightning
followed in the wake of the wind and
made a heavy cannonade and q fiery
picture as they went eastward.
George Farber's house in Peters
burg. and the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany's office at No. 6. were struck by
bolts, but no serious damage resulted
in either case.
During the storm yesterday after
noon large tree fell upon an outward
bound Peckvllle car, crushing in the
front cope and narrowly missing the
motorman. He saw the tree falling
and stopping his car as quickly as DOS
sible, jumped inside the car Just in
time to escape being caught.
The proprietors of the trained animal
show located on Ash street, became
alarmed at the high wind and fearing a
collapse of the tent, stopped the show
and got the spectators out. The show.

hour to keep their canvas on earth.
