Thomas block, opposite the Inter Ocean
hotel. 1t is stated by the prime hover
of this organization that it will in no
sense be antagonistic to the Lincoln
club, but will work in harmony with it.
They claim the older club is a little ex-
pensive for all classes of people and
that the new club will be run on a much
cheaper basis. 1t is stated by a man
who claims t o be or the inside that Mr..
C. L. Hinkle had a close call from re-
lection when the ballot was spread on
his application, it having been discover
ed that he had a complete pair of sus-
penders and three buttons on his pants.
After some argument it was decided to
draw the line at four buttons and per-
nit him to pass.
THE STORM CONTINUES.
The storm which began on Pioneer
day continues with unabated fury. 1t
appears to be n OF those storms that
fingers for several months and then
grows worse. Ranchmen are blue,
railroad men are blue, and merchants
are blue, but there is consolation in the
fact that weather sharps are predict
ing that it will end before the first OF
July. Railroad men tell Of seeing many
head Of cattle along the road in a help
less and dying condition. Horses are
doing a little better, but the cold and
hunger has brought them to a condition
in which they are almost too weak TO
paw the snow for the grass beneath.
The terrific struggle being made by
the officials OF the Union Pacific to keep
their line open is meeting with suc-
cess, but the poor Cheyenne and North
ern has been compelled to succumb to
the inevitable. 1t has been almost a
month since traffic was suspended be-
tween here and Grin Junction. Even
now Superintendent Rasback lies with
a train at Iron Mountain, with the road
blocked both to the north and the
south. His heroic efforts and terrible
privations have been practically NULL
fed by the storm king.
Speaking of the railroad men re-
minds us that the boys from the Sixth
district are not found wanting in en-
durance or judgment. Several Of them
have been drafted into service on the
hill recently with the result that the
drifts vanished. But Of course Old
Boreas has been active In building them
up again.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

complete revision OF the rules
governing representation in Democratic
ward and borough conventions in Free
land is favored by many of the voters of
the party. The rules were models at
the time of their adoption. four years
ago, but have outlived their usefulness
by reason Of the borough having since
been divided into more wards. The
rules were made to govern any circum-
stances which might arise in borough
of two wards, two election districts in
each. Each district elects three dele
gates, each ward one delegate and the
borough at large one delegate. Under
the former division deadlock was i'm
possible in district, ward or borough
convention, each having an odd number
of delegates. Under the present divi-
sion the First Second, Third and Fourth
wards are entitled To four delegates each
and the South ward to seven delegates
This would permit several deadlocks to
take place and is otherwise an unsatis-
factory representation. AS there are
few important Offices to be filled this
year, it has been suggested that an
effort be made to induce representative
party men to become delegates to the
next borough convention and that the
question of revising the rules be taken
up and acted upon. No more favorable
opportunity to formulate new set Of
rules may come for some time, and il it
done this year the party can be ready
for the important contests of 1900.
Foster township Republicans will hold
their convention at Woodside school
house on Monday evening. The con-
vention will be composed OF two dele
gates from each voting district. Candi-
dates for the following offices will be
nominated: Two for school directors,
two for supervisors, one for treasurer,
one for clerk, one for auditor for three
years and one for auditor for one year.
The battle is again on school director.
The Republican poor district conven-
tion will be held at the Cottage hall at
2 o'clock Monday afternoon.

Eioped with u Wealthy Man.

Twelve years ago James and Benjamin
Treasure left Tamaqua and went to
California to seek their fortune. They
remained there until five years ago,
when they went to the Klondike gold
country and amassed fortune. Six
months ago they returned to Tamaqua
to spend a vacation. They dazzled old
acquaintances with their tales of the
Alaskan gold fields, and had the nuggets
and greenbacks to back their stories.
Their wealth is estimated at half a
million dollars.
Benjamin Treasure, who is fine
looking man, 35 years of age, met Miss
Florence Willingale, who was considered
the belle of the town. She is but II
years of age. They fell in love and Mr..
Treasure sought the consent OF the
parents to wed Florence, but they re-
fused to hear of her marrying so young.
That is the reason the couple left on a
train on Monday. A telegram has been
received from New York city by Mr.. and
Mrs. Willingale, which states: Il have
been married today, and leave immed-
lately for California. Mrs. Benjamin

Bechtal Wins His EiRht.

The litigation over the disputed dis
trict attorneyship of Schuylkill county
came to a close on Monday when Judges
Cyrus Persbing and w. A. Marr gave a
brief opinion to the effect that it has
appeared to the court that at the date
of the appointment of Guy E. Farquhar
rs district attorney because of the re-
fusal of b. w. Cumming, the district
attorney-elect, to qualify no vacancy
existed in that Office, but that Edgar W..
Bechtel by virtue of his election to the
Office in 1895 holds over until his success
sor is duly qualified, and so declared the
appointment of Mr.. Farquhar revoked.
Mr.. Bechtel at once entered upon his
duties.
There is some doubt as to whether un-
der the law Mr. Bechtel will be entitled
to the Office during the entire term of
three years, or whether his successor
shall be elected at the next November
election, to take his seat in January,
1900.
