board stopped several times to consult
with Gillespie, in whose hotel the elcc-
ton was held, accepted cigars and
whiskey from him and allowed him to
enter the room where the ballots were
counted, although they refused Lennon
q like privilege.

WILL FIGHT THE TRUST.

large His Plant and Make a De-
cided Stand Against His Unfair
Competitor, the Trust The Public
Should Aid Him.
NJ j. Kelly, proprietor of the Lacka-
wanna Steam Bakery, is making extern
sive improvements in his mammoth
baking establishment on Capouse
avenue. Heretofore Mr. Kelly las
been making crackers only, but as soon
as his improvements are completed, he
viii also manufacture Il superior line
of fancy cakes.
The recently organized trust which
has absorbed about all of the impor-
tant bakeries in this locality, except
the Lackawanna Steam Bakery and
hopes to stine all competition by fore
ing the Independent manufacturers out
of business. is doing all in it's power to
injure Mr.. Kelly's business, but in
stead of selling out at the dictation Of
the Trust, he has decided to enlarge
the capacity of his plant and thereby
place himself in position to successfully
compete with his gigantic competitor.
1t will be to the interest of the COM
sumers Of crackers, cakes. etc, to in
sist on their grocers and bakers giving
them goods manufactured by the
Lackawanna Steam Bakery, and there
by materially strengthen Mr.. Kelly in
has fight, which will benefit not only
home industry and labor, but the con-
sumner as we'll, inasmuch as the Trust
will certainly raise prices as soon as
they have the consumer entirely at
their mercy.
The goods manufactured by the
Lackawanna Steam Bakery are first
class i'm every respect and the people
of Northeastern Pennsylvania should
embrace this opportunity of patroniz-
ing mot in the Trust" concern Ask
your dealer for goods made by the
Lackawanna Steam Bakery and insist

NO CONNECTING EVIDENCE
In theJackson- McCloud Murder Case
 Defendants Released.

Sam McCioud and Willis Jackson, the two negroes wko were charged with murder, are nov free men.
 O0 November 27, 1898, Sam Me Cloud and Willis Jackson, in com pany with Hiuiard Lampkin, left their homes at Warner on a hunt or a ramble through the woods. Mc Cloud and Jackson returned late in the afternoon Of the same day. Lampkin failed to show up and the two negroes were arrested and charged with his mt ter. While enroute to Warner on February 10, or during the-cold spell wbich was so severe throughout the south at that time, a pedestrian found the body of a negro frozea in coke of ice. which was floating in a small creek. The body was taken to Warner and identified as that of Lampkin. McCloud and Jackson were brought up for trial in Lincoln circuit cou. and were bound over to await the action of the grand jury. Their counsel took a change os venue to Jefferson county and the men were arraigned in the Circuit court, Tuesday. The trial progress ed all day and greater part Of last night.
 After the States evidence was all in, Prosecuting Attorney Sorrells asked the court to instruct the jury to return verdict of not guilty.
 There was no eonvieting evi- dence against these men" said Mr Sorrells, and what is the use of putting Lincoln county to $500 a day expense when We can dispose of tbe case TOW, with an already in- cured expense of only $50. If you let this case run along it will occupy four or five days and Lincoln county will have to pay probably thousands of dollars for the release of two in- nocent men. am sure they are in- nocent and l asked the colrt to in- struct the jury to return a verdict of not guilty" The jury returned verdict and the men were released,
 It COW remains as great mystery as ever as to who murdered Hilliard Lampkin.
