scheme to run the jill and court
house on wind. We presume the
inmates of the jill and lower Aoor Of

more substantial than wind. This
element may be very appropriate,
however. for the habitues of the
upper flor CT the court house.

high, and is quite imposing in ap-

quite a convenience and at the same
time save money to the county.

Erecting A Large Breaker.

One Of the largest breakers in this
state is now in course of erection by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company at Locust Gap. 1t is on the
site of the Locust Spring and Locust
Gap collieries and when completed will
do away with the old breakers that
have handled the product of these two
mines for over thirty years.
The new breaker Is now nearly COM
pleted and in sight of it's massive pro-
portions the adjoining buildings of the
old collieres are almost insignificant
and decidedly antiquated, The entire
structure, including the chutes, are
covered with corrugated iron instead of
frame work. The building is 535 feet
long and 1873 feet wide, and from the
ground to the roof the main structure
is 1lS feet. The machinery will be of
the most improved and latest pattern.
The cost will be about $3.50, 900,

Herman Poper and John Trivis are
the names OF the two miners who were
entombed in No. 4 colliery, Oakdale, at
an early hour Monday morning, brief
mention Of which was given in our last
issue. The accident occurred while
the men were loading car and was
caused by a tremendous rush of rock
and debris which broke down the
barriers erected to hold back the force
OF previous cavern in the gangway
where the men worked.
Immediately after the accident men
were placed at work to remove the
debris and this has been continued
without interruption. Up to this morn
ing the bodies of the unfortunate miners
were not found nor could the rescuers
tell whether the men were alive or dead
1t is presumed, however, that they are
underneath the fall.
Poper resided at Ebervale and has
wife and family in Hungary. Travis
is also foreigner and resided at Halle

POLITICAL POINTERS,

The Democratic politicians of town
began this week to look up the chances
OF victory at the coming election and so
far their Investigations have been very
satisfactory. The candidates are accept
able to the party at large and have also
large following in the Republican
ranks. As the borough is quite close
on party lines, the Democrats feel that
their superior ticket should win.
Henry Beneman, of East Mauch
Chunk, and d. B. Briehof, the respec-
tive candidates for poor director and
poor auditor on the Democratic ticket,
are touring the poor district. Mr.. Beine-
man some years ago served as q poor
director and has as clean a record as
any man who ever held that important
position.
Foster township Democrats are lining
up their forces for heavy battle.
There is no dissatis faction OF any kind
with the ticket and full vote Of the
party is assured on election day. The
leaders are confident OF victory.
Luzerne county next fall will elect
judge, district attorney, clerk of courts,
prothonotary and congressman. A
state senator and'a representative from
each legislative district will also be
elected.
A. Fl. Bleckly, of town, Republican
candidate for poor auditor, expects
large complimentary vote In this vicin-
ity.
For the coming election s1,945 official
ballots will be printed for the voters of
the county, also s,925 specimen ballots,
Wilson Campbell, Republican candi-
date for poor director, spent part of
this week in town.

Arrest of Saloon Men,

An agent Of The Anti-Saloon League
caused the arrest of seven Wilkesbarre
saloonkeepers Tuesday night, and at
the hearing two men, presumed to be in
his employ, charged the prisoners with
selling on Sunday. Four of the saloon
men pleaded guilty and paid their
fine and the cases OF the other three
were continued. The action of the
temperance advocate did not please
Mayor Nichols. He said to the saloon
men:
Il have no desire to infict any punish
ment on you nor to inconvenience YOU
want Sunday closing to prevail, and II
it can be made general the men in the
business, am sure, will be better off
l want to state, too, for the benefit OF
others that l propose to carry on the
work of closing up the saloons just as
long as see chance of accomplishing
the work, and | do not intend to employ
sneaks or resort to any trickery."

What Happened to Reilly" which
appears here tomorrow evening, Is
stated to be one OF the best farce
comedies that has been produced in this
country in recent years. 1t Is meeting
with marked success wherever played,
aud according to It's manager, IL Is found
to duplicate the success OF The City
Directory" and Hoyt's "Trip to China
town" While not unlike these two
rattling pieces, it possesses a comedy
interest not often found in plays OF this
type, and above all, it is said to keep
the audience in a roar OF laughter from
the rise to the fall of the curtain.
