RESIGNS.
The President Judge Has Decided to
Leave the Bench.
WILL TAKE EFFECT AUGUST 9Th.
His Successor Will be Elected Next Novem-
Der, There Being Ample Time For
Nominations Under the Law.
@ Gov. Stone May Pill the
Vacancy Temporarily.

Pottsville, June 22.--Hon. Cyrus L. Perish
ing, President Judge Of the Schuylkill
County Court has forwarded his resignation
to Governor Stone, to take effect August 5th
1899. His action was entirely unexpected by
the general public at this time The cOndi-
tion of his health is the cause assigned for
the resignation.
Judge Pershing was elected in 1891 and has
81 years to serve from June Both, next. The
law on the subject states that, where a
vacancy occurs three months before the date
Of the succeeding election, the Governor has
no power to appoint that the vacancy must
be filed by an election.
Prominent leaders Of the Republican and
Democratic parties interviewed this m orning
believe that it will be legal to haye their
conventions nominate candidates on July 10th
aud 18th.
A. W. Schalck, Hon. James b. Reilly,
Joseph w. Meyer, Watson f. Shepherd and
George J. Wadlinger are mentioned as candi-
dates on the Democratic side. Ex-Judge
Koch, William d. Seltzer, ex-Judge Lyon,
Hon. c. N. Brumm and George Roads are
mentioned by Republicans. In the event of
the Governor making an appointment to I'll
the vacancy during the period intervening
between August 9th and the time when the
elected successor shall take his seat, Brumm
and Roads are mentioned as likely to be
appointed
Judge Cyrus L. PeIshing, present Judge of
this district, was born in Westmoreland
county, this state; entered the law Offices of
Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, and was admitted
to the Bar in Cambria county, and repre-
sented that county in 1851 in the legislature.
In 1872 he was nominated for president Judge
in this district by the conventions of Labor
Reformers and Republicans, and his
election followed, which position he
has filled with marked ability and
has endeared himself to the law-abiding
citizens. In 1875 Judge Pershing was nomi-
mated for Governor by the Democratic state
convention in session at Erie. Governor
Hartranft was reelected, but the state, out
side of Philadelphia, gave Pershing hand.
some majority. He presided in the number
OF trials of Mollie Mcguire conspirators.

Candidate for Commissioner.

Among our political announcements will be
found the card of Hon. Joseph Wyatt Of
town, who has decided to seek the Republi.
can nomination for County Commissioner.
Unlike the average candidate, Mr.. Wyatt
knows what he wants and goes for it with an
energy that elicts admintiOn. Few men in
this section of the county have a wider ac-
quaintance than the Representative, and
fewer still have a larger personal follow
ing. Mr.. Wyatt has entered the contest with
his usual vim and energy and will make a
thorough canvass of the county. He has
met with much encouragement, and the an
nouncement of his candidacy is pleasing to
the party leaders, and his friends feel greatly
encouraged and predict his nomination on
the first ballot

Hon. C. N. Brumm and James s. Flanni-

case of Thomas Brennan, charged with the
murder of Henry Elliott, at New Philadel-

were that several material witnesses for

ance cannot be secured by next Monday, and
that Brennan has no money fer his case, but
can procure it if granted time. 1t
was also stated that the nature of
the evidence could not be divulged without
prejudicing the defendants interests. Dis
trict Attorney Bechtel made strong opposition
and Judge Bechtel said he did not think the
grounds sufficient, but promised to give Mt

in car loads to market for about six weeks.
Mahanoy City also ships large quantities, over
1900 quarts haying been shipped from there
yesterday. Last year shipments from town
were not as large as in 1897, but as the crop
is better this year it is expected that quite a
few dollars will be realized by the diligent
pickers

Pottsville, June 22-The indications are
that the 6nal decision in the Lyon Dunn

Must watch Their Jobs.

From POttsville Chronicle.
The constables of the county must watch
their jobs or lose them. The Court has its
eyes on every section and the least intimation
Of violation Of the liquor laws must be ex-
planned by the constable Of the district from
which such intimations come. And the Court
is right. If men who are granted licenses
and who, upon their oaths, promise to obey
the lawsdo not do so they should be deprived
of their purchased privilege, and the con-
stable who knows the law is being violated
in his bailiwick and fails to return such viola
tions to Court, also violates his oath aud
should feel the laws punishment. The men
who strictly obey the liquor laws deserve thi.
protection, not only from the courts, but
from the constabes.

Gruhler is eminently qualified for such dis
courses through his long residence and
experience as a missionary in the Holy Land.
