Assaulted ana Itobbed.

Specldl 10 heSlSIer'
Chiffon, May 10Th. An old
woman named Rice, living near
Middleport, was assaulted and re b.
bed Wednesday night. There
were two of the robbers, and they
not only stole the old lady's money
and jewelry, but also ohoked and
otherwise maltreated her. The
officers got on their trail and traced
them as far as Addison, whore
they had eaten breakfast yesterday
morning, and here lost all trace of
them. If they are caught and
brought back to the scene of the
crime they will doubtless be
lynched, as excitement is running
high there.

THE JUDICIARY.


Pottsville, June 20--The resignation Of
President Judge Cyrus L. Pershing. which
takes effect on August g. after both the Re-
publican and Democratic conventions, which
will be held next month, has created pro-
found sensation in this town and knocked
politicians plans into cooked hat. 1t will
have the effect of changing the complexion
Of the tickets which had already been agreed
upon by certain of the county leaders who
take it upon themselves to dictate nomina-
tions.
The published report that Quay Republicans
fear the result at the coming election en-
anates solely from the fertile mind of local
correspondent to the city papers. There is
no dissension in the Republican ranks over
the judiciary, or any of the offices to be
filed this year, for that matter. Both
factions are determined to nominate a strong
ticket without regard TO factional affiliations
Both parties will nominate candidates for
the judgeship, and Judge Pershings sue
cessor will be elected the coming November.
The only fear expressed is that there will be
from ten TO twenty candidates before each
convention, which will make the work of
those bodies difficult and may engender
party strife The nominee for Judge on both
tickets will probably come from PottsVille,
and new combinations are already being dis
cussed. Republican sentiment seems already
to have crystalized in favor of former Judge
r. II. Koch as the successor of Judge Perish
ing or rather to succeed Judge Bechtel
as Associate Judge when he shall have
assumed the president judgeship.
Hon. James B. Reilly, A. w. Schalck and
George j. Wadlinger are active candidates
for the iudgeship nomination. Several other
candidates are expected to announce their
intentions within the next few days. The
name of Watson F. Shepherd has been mem
toned as the candidate of the silver wing of
the Democratic party, but that gentleman
says positively that he is not candidate.
Hon. G. n. Brumm, whose name has been
mentioned, expresses himself to the same
effect. Mr.. Wadlinger seems to have the
call from the Democrats.

A Coroner's Jury Returns Verdict of
Accidental Death.
Anthony Burns, 12-year-old son of Anthony
and Bridget Burns, of Coles patch, near
Mahanoy City, was accidentally shot and
killed at that place last evening. William
Benjamin, 15-year-old companion of the
victim, was arrested for the shooting, but a
coroner's jury has declared that the shooting
was accidental.
The shooting was done with a twenty-five
cent toy pistol into which couple of grains
of bird shot had been placed the blank
cartridges serving as percussion caps. Benja-
min and 16-year-old boy named John Coyle
were shooting at mark when Burns Joined
them and asked to be allowed to shoot
According to the evidence the pistol was
being passed from Burns to Benjamin when
it was discharged, the former receiving the
charge in the heart. Coyle was allowed to go
to his home last night by Justice May, but
Benjamin was held in custody.
This morning a CorOner's jury rendered a
verdict finding that John Burns came to
his death by a gun shot wound from a pistol
handled by John Coyle and William Bonjs-
mn."
After the verdict was rendered communi-
cation was opened with the District Attor-
neys office with view to securing the re-
lease of Benjamin.

Cleveland, June 2G.-Only one out
break of violence attended the resump-
ton of traffic on all the lines Of the
Big Consolidated street railway yes
terday There was objection in some
parts of the city to the retention Of
the non-union men who were kept by
the company. A party of 25 men as
sembled near the Brooklyn bridge, just
south of the city, and whenever a car
came along with a non-unton crew
the passengers were asked to disem-
bark and wait for a car manned by
union crew In most cases the pas
sengers did as requested. Finally a
non-union conductor undertook to
argue with the crowd and he was
promptly struck over the head with a
club, and he and the motorman driven
away. The mob refused to permit the
car to move until a union crew came
along and pushed it to the barns.
AS a rule the old men were glad the
strike was settled, though there was
some grumbling because the nom
union men were kept 1t is predicted
that all the non-union men will be
glad to leave the city within 30 days,
though the company imposed as one
Of the conditions of the agreement for
the settlement of the trouble that all
the new men should be treated with
consideration by the old employees.
The hostility shown, however, is by
sympathizers rather than by the late
strikers themselves.

Perhaps Caused bv Inoendiaries to
Hide Evidence of Murder.
Philadelphia, June ga special to
The Press from Laurel, DEL, says that
1t is believed that the fire which on
Saturday almost wiped that town out
of existence, destroying 100 houses and
causing S4o0, 900 loss, was caused by in
cendiaries, who wished to cover up a
murder. This belief is based on the
information of a night watchman, who
said he heard pistol shots coming from
the pool room kept by ]. ] Laramer,
in which place the fire started. Other
citizens say they heard shots, and one
says he saw two men hurriedly leave
the pool room shortly before the fire
was discovered. The spot where the
pool room was located is roped OF, and
a search is being made for the purpose
of finding the supposed victims char
red remains.
