Must Not Sell EiuuOr.

The Board of City Trusts of Phila-
delphia, who have control of the Girard
estate in Schuylkill county, are deter
mined that no tenants who sell liquor
will be retained on their lands. This
has been their policy for several years
past. All leases which are now issued
are subject to this clause. In all cases
where it is possible the attorneys of the
estate endeavor to have licenses with
held from their tenants. The first iudg-
ment secured this year to compel tenants
to quit possession of property owned by
the estate was awarded on Friday by n

Freeland Case in Court.

From the Wilkesbarre Record.
The time in Judge Bennett's court, in
the arbitration room, was taken up on
Monday and Tuesday with the case of
John Iannes VS.. Ludwig Brandmaier.
Yannes is a resident of Freeand and
the defendent lives near White Haven.
Iannes, who cannot read, was desirous
of purchasing Il small farm near Sandy
Run and it is alleged was informed that
Brandmaier was the owner. Yannes
alleges that he met Brandmaier by
Appointment, in January, 1897, and they
came to terms, Iaunes giving $4OO in
cash for the alleged deed to the land.
When he came to take possession, how
ever, he found the land occupied and it
is also alleged found that the deed was
no good. He therefore brought suit to
recover the money paid.
The trial ended yesterday and the
jury returned a verdict in favor of Mr..
Brandmaier

THREE TICKETS NAMED.
POLITICAL MATTERS IN FOSTER ARE
SOMEWHAT MIXED.
Republicans Split on Monday Night and
Nominated Two Tickets Democrats
Have IA Grand Chance to Carry the
Township-Details of the Conventions.


Have u Grand Chance to Carry the
Township-Dstails of the Conventions.
Foster township has three complete
tickets in the field. The Republicans
nominated two on Monday evening and
the Democrats one last night. All are
confident of winning on election day,
but from present appearances the Demo
Gratis have the inside track. While
hard and bitter feelings were known to
prevail in the Republican ranks, dating
back for year or more, it was not be-
lieved that an open rupture would re-
suit, but this is what has taken place,
and no amount of soothing words can
now heal the breach that is daily widen
ing. Each of the factions, which are
known as the Richards and the anti
Richards, is determined to stand by the
ticket it has named, and each is agreed
that under no circumstances shall the
other wing of the party succeed at the
polls.

The time for filing applications for
liquor licenses closed on Monday even
ing and up to the time for closing 1850
applications had been filed with Clerk of

vious year when 1,342 asked for permis-
sion to sell liquor. Two weeks of liquor

CONVENTION NO. 2.


Republican convention No. . assembled
upon the ad adjournment of their brethren
and organized by choosing John Evans
rs chairman and Jerry Woodring as

stated the object of the meeting and
paid his respects to bossism, which was

clamation:

dy Run; Julius Lesser, Upper Lehigh.

Courts Crowded with Work.

Five sessions of court four of common
pleas and one of orphans court, were
held at Wilkesbarre on Tuesday. Not
withstanding the fact that the Judges of
all the nearby counties are repeatedly
called upon to assist, the business is
away behind. Considerable expense
and waste of time is caused to people
who have business before the courts
and the one remedy is division of the

John l.. Sullivan and his theatrical
company appeared at Shenandoah on
Tuesday night and the ex-champion as
sumed role that was not on the pro-
gram. In clearing the stage for box
ing exhibition one of the wings was
pushed against an unprotected gas jet.
The piece of scenery bazed up in an
instant. Sullivan was about to step
upon the stage when he observed the
fire. He turned quickly, snatched an
overcoat from chair and smothered
the fire. The audience was unconscious
of the true cause of delay in the pugil-
lists appearance and impatiently ap-
plauded. The theatre was crowded
and but for Sulivan's good judgment
there would in all probability have been
a panic with fearful results.

THE WILD TURKEY.

Though great numbers or partridges,

fallen before the guns OF sportsmen and
pot-hunters this season. wild turkeys
have been rather scarce. They do not
seem to have profted much by the lows
passed for their protection. We suspect
that the reason Of this is that they have
not only been hunted very closely, but that
their nests are frequently robbed or Their
