hibition law to this state, and which is
pledged to its enforcement
Every vote for prohibition candidates
is vote against the only party that ever
gave prohibition legislation.
Nothing nullifies the efforts ofrepubli-
can prohbitionists who seek and gen.
orally do control the party policy, like
the efforts Of crank prohibitionists to de.
feat the republican candidates. Nine.
tenths Of the prohibition party votes
come from men who are or ought to be
republicans. The prohibition vote does
not appreciably reduce the democratic
vote.
The Sherman law (republican) legis-
lated trusts as trusts" out of existence
The republicans attempted, to legislate
to amend the constitution so that the
trusts" which changed into corporations
to escape the Sherman law could be
reached by law and every democrat in
the house voted against it.
All Legislation against ''tmsts" has
been republican.

HON. GEORGE FARBER DEAD
Petersburg's Leading Citizen Dies
After a Brief Illness-Fired the
Last Shot of the Civil War.

The man who fired the last shot in
the civil war, Hon. J. George Farber,
died last evening at 5.15 o'clock, at
his home in Petersburg, after a three
months i'll ness of drupsy.
The deceased was born i'm Allebach,
Prussia, May 2S, 1S4O, and was brought
to this city by his parents in 1S45.
Since 1851 he lived in the Petersburg
portion of the city. He worked in
the mines until the breaking out Of
the civil war, when he and his brother
Louis enlisted in Company Il. Ninth
Pennsylvania cavalry. His father had
previously gone out with the one Hun
dred and Seventh Pennsylvania in
fantry. The deceased was discharged
in July, 1865, after four years of the
most active service.
The incident by which he won the
distinction mentioned in the opening
paragraph occurred at Edwardsburg,
n. c., just previous to Johnsons sur
render Mr.. Farber and George Bur
kee, who still lives on Phelps street,
were detached from their company of
cavalry and assigned to artillery
work. They were operating a large
gun in a wooded place some distance
from the main body and in this way
continued firing after hostiltes had
been called off they not knowing of
the surrender. Mr.. Burkee and George
Schultz, ST.. brother-in-law of the de-
ceased Mr.. Farber, are the only sur
Vivors of the seventeen sturdy young
lads who went out from Petersburg
with the Ninth cavalry.
On returning to Scranton he was
captain of boat on the Pennsylvania
canal for a year, then engaged i'm
mining and finally established the
Fairview hotel on Ash street, which
he conducted until about ten years
ago, when he retired from business to
enjoy the fruits of his industry and
well directed efforts.
Mr.. Farber was a commissioner and
then a member of select council from
the Tenth ward from 1872 to 1873. In
1879 he was elected the first register
of wills of Lackawanna county, but
the supreme court declared the cleo
tion illegal. In the following year,
however. he was reelected for three
years and served his term.
In 1884 he was again in select coun-
Gil, but resigned to take seat in the
HOuSe VI representatives., TO WnlCn he
was elected on the Republican ticket
by majority OF 900. During his term
he secured a $4,000 appropriation to
the Lackawanna hospital In 1886 he
was again the nominee for the legis-
lature, but his opposition to the
Brooks High License law initiated
against him and he was defeated. In
1890 he was again elected to the select
council and served four years.
For twenty years he served on the
Republican county committee and for
good part of that time on the city
committee also, having once been its
chairman.
He was a member of Union lodge,
Free and Accepted Masons, the Knights
Of Pythias, and Colonel Monies post,
Sl9 Grand Army of the Republic.
The deceased is survived by his
wife and the following brothers ana
sisters: Frederick Farber, l.. j. Far
ber Mrs. Jacob Starl' and Mrs. Alon-
20 Price, all of this ity.

It was decided to make an inspection

ever, Mr.. Widmayer will have the use
of a carriage furnished him by Mr..
