Sheriff Harvey Will Clear the sus-
ouehanna of Eel weirs.
pecial to The Scranton Tribune.

Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Pittston Oct. 1.-Sheriff Harvey, OF
Luzerne county, has decided to clear
the Susquehanna river of all eel weirs
and other Illegal fishing contrivances,
three or four of which are known to
exist at different points along the river
within this county. Several deputies
We're at work Saturday removing one
of these, situated between the island
and east shore, opposite Port Griffith
The river is narrow at this point and
the water runs swiftly over a reef
Along this reef loose stones had been
piled to almost a level with the water
extending from each shore towards "A
point in the centre, in "N" shape. A
space several feet wide was left open
in the centre and arranged so that n
long net with several pockets can be
attached without much difficulty. The
fish, especially cells, in coming down the
river are confronted by the pile OF
stones and naturally swim along the
line until they find the opening in the
centre. through which, of course, they
pass unsuspectingly into the net. This
weir has been used within the past two
weeks. The deputies destroyed the weir
by wading waist deep into the water
and scattering the stones hither and
thither
Another weir is located at the county
line, near A. l.. Stanton's farm, and
another near the railroad bridge in
West Pittston. Both will be destroyed
The one near Stanton's is a well-built
wall of stone and mortar, extending
n ho nd
listed for several years. 1t is expected
that it's removal will require a weeks
work with a force of about ten men.

POLITICS IN PIKE.
A Struggle for Offices That Are
Worthless Financially.

Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Stroudsburg, Pa, Oct. 1.-The regu-
lar October term of the Pike county
courts will be held on the 10th ult. No
jurors have been summoned and the
session will be a very brief one. The
lawyers in Pike county have hard work
to make a living on account of the
scarcity of legal cases. AS a rule only
one criminal court is held in a year.
There are only four lawyers in the
county and they find plenty of time for
sport and recreation. The taxes of the
county do not amount to $4,000 a year.
Notwithstanding all this, Pike county
elections are generally lively affairs.
At the present time the regularly nomi-
mated Democratic ticket will likely be
opposed by an Independent Democratic
ticket The office Of district attorney
in Pike county is hardly worth the ask
ing for. But at the late Democratic
primaries there was a lively contest
between two wcll-known Democrats.
Even the Prohibitionists of Pike county
this year will make fight to get in
possession of the county offices. The
Republicans have been gaining ground
for years and are hopeful of making
much headway at the coming election.
