w. F. HOCH DEAD.
Well Known Freeland Young Man Pass
ed Away This Morning.

William +. Hoch died shortly before
7lo'clock this morning at his home on
South Washington street. For several
months past his health had been very
poor, and three months ago he was
obliged to cease his work in the general
office of the Drifton companies.
He was a sufferer from stomach
trouble, and recently sought relief in a
Philadelphia hospital. At times he
showed signs of Improvement, but these
were followed by relapses, and these
changes continued until the deceased
became too weak to further resist the
attacks of disease.
Mr.. Hoch was aged 33 years and .
months. He began work as a messen-
ger boy in Drifton Office at the age of
twelve years, and continued in the
employment of the company until his
illness necesstated his retirement.
He was married ON May %, 1892, to
Miss Mary Edmunds, of Drifton, who,
with one son, Edmund, aged l year and
months, survive him. His father,
Conrad Hoch, of North Centre street,
mourns his loss, also the following
brothers and sisters: Joseph, of Halle
ton; George, of Wilkesbarre; Mrs.
Thomas Horn, Mrs. John Klingerman,
Mrs. Frank Hontz, Freeland, and Mrs.
Conrad Brehm, Upper Lehigh.
Mr.. Hoch was a member of Union
Council, No. 300 American Legion of
Honor, of town.
The funeral will take place on Satur-
day afternoon atr2 o'clock from his late
residence. Services will be conducted
at the house by Rev. j. p. Buxton, of
Drfton, and Rev. f. Marshall, of town.
lnterment at Freeland cemetery.
Mrs. Hoch feels her loss very keenly,
as she has been called upon during the
past eighteen months to mourn the
death of both parents and a brother.

Airing the Trolley Scandal.

The councilmanlc bribery investiga-
tion at Wilkesbarre is on. Councilman
Santee on Monday testified that George
l.. Llewellyn had offered him bribe of
$500. He was asked to explain why he
waited seven months before he informed
councils that one of its members had
been bribed or an attempt made to bribe
him. He replied;
ut is hard to explain ones conduct,
but | will say that ! was reluctant to
TO inform on my friend, Mr.. Llewellyn,
also ] knew it would be hard to prove
such a charge and hence | hestated."
Councilman Thomas Wheatly, who
created quite sensation in councils a
month ago, by announcing that he had
been offered brbe of $4,000 If he
would vote for an ordinance granting
the Scranton Traction Company fran
chise to operate road within the limits
of the city of Wilkesbarre, was next
asked to the stand.
He testified that he met Attorney
John M. Garman, counsel for the Scran-
ton Traction Company, in an eating
saloon in the city. Garman asked him
how much he would take for his vote.
Witness asked the attorney how much
he would give. Mr.. Garman said 5000.
Witness said it was not as much as the
other side was paying.
Eight hundred dollars is the price
the other side is paying"
Witness admitted that he said this for
a joke more than anything else. Mr..
Garman said he wanted another vote in
councils and would be willing to give
$1,000 for it. He also told tho witness
that II the franchise was secured that
he tthe wtnessl might get IS, 600.
MIR. Garman testified before the COM
mittee last evening. He denied the
story as told by Wheatly. He said he
never sent for WheatIy, the latter came
to him and said the people of his district
favored the new company, but that the
other side were Offering $500 for vote.
Mr.. Garman said his company had no
bribe money to offer. The other side
was rich and probably could after large
sums. Wheatly had nothing further to
say and left Mr.. Garman's company.
Other councilman testified that they
had received no offers for their votes

Burger aud several other prominent

RUSSIAN WOMEN.
the Most EnviabIs In the
World.

Countess Anna Kaprlste, writing on
'The Position Of Russian Women, +"
says a great deal to their credit. As
compared with the women Of other
European countries, Russian women
work more and weep less, they love and
they hate perhaps in greater intensity,
they marry with more elaboration,
they abide by their choice more firmly,
they sxalt their mission Of motherhood
more highly, and on the bearing and
rearing Of their children they lavish all
their energies Of mind and body. To
have strong and healthy children, sons
strong as lions whelps, and daughters
tiawless as doves, is the primary ambi-
tion of everynormal Russian woman, and
in the upper educated classes of society
she often chooses her husband when
she has the choice), not from passion,
not from love, not for place, or riches,
or power, but with an eye 10 this pur-
pose solely: "Will he make a good
father Of my children2" She speaks
equally favorably as to the political and
social position Of her countrywomen.
She says: In conclusion, l should like /
again TO aver that the lot Of a Russian
woman is a happy one, whatever may
be her class. Comparisons are odious,
but il we compare the actual position,
| should say that on the whole the po-
sition OF Russian women was better 1
than that of English women, and their /
influence, politically and socially, was
