Special to the Scranton Tribune
Tunkhannock, July 1.-The streets
here today have presented a scene OF
unusual activity owing to the gangs
Of men employed in gathering up the
debris of yesterdays storm. Street
Commissioner Carpenter was out with
gang of men all day engaged in re-
moving the trees from the street to
make them passable and the work was
not completed today. The electric light
company have had their men out all
day making repairs to their wires
and promise us light for this evening.
The town was dark last evening, the
plant not being started at all on ac-
count of the danger from crossed wires.
The Postal Telegraph, the long dis
tance telephone and the local telephone
companies have all had linemen out
getting up their broken wires and the
telegraph and long distance telephone
are in working order tonight. The To-
cal system is badly crippled and the
whole line will have to be gone over.
There is hardly wire in town belong
ing to them up. Many valuable fruit
trees and numerous shade trees were
uprooted and the damage in that re-
spect will be quite extensive. The
home of Attorney c. A. Little has one
chimney less than 1t had before the
storm and the Presbyterian parsonage
and the residence of J. l.. Vose and
S. w. Fitch suffered some damage.
Probably the most destructive piece of
work done by the storm was at the old
Gearhart coal shutes, row occupied by
G. ID. Dewitt & Son. The entire top
of the schutes was blown over and the
Montrose engine and one car, which
was passing at the time, were buried
under the ruins. The train was extri-
Gated without much damage, but the
damage to the schutes will be quite
extensive. A very heavy rain storm
came up this afternoon, and owing TO
the blocking of the cutters by the
branches of trees blown down yester-
day, the streets were badly washed in
places. 1t will be some time before
all the damage done by the storm is
repaired.

LUZERNE PRIMARIES,
Crawford County Rules Given Trial
by own-the-Valley Republicans.


Special to the Scranton Tribune
Pittston, July S.-The Crawford
county rules governing primaries were
formally initiated in the Republican
party in Luzerne county on Saturday
evening, when the people were given
their first opportunity to vote directly
for the men whom they wished to
place in nomination. The returns
have not all, as yet, been reported,
but as far as can be estimated the
successful ones of the list of forty-tw
aspirants, are as follows:
For Congrcss-Ex-Attorncy General Henry W.
Palmer of Wilkes Barre
For state Senator William Drury of Pittstcn
For Additional Law Judgc-George :. Ferris
Of West Pittston.
For CLERK of the Courts-Rctse Lloyd, Of
FrcCand.
For District Attorney-Benjamin r. Jones, Of
Warrior Run.
For Prothonotary-Brinton Jackson Of Nant.
coke, or Jonathan r. Davis, Of Kingston, with
the chances in favor Of the former.
For Jury Commissioncr-W. l.. Higgs Of
Wilkes Barre.
AS an eliminatOr of the use of Doodle,
the first test of the Crawford county
rules has proven a fiat failure. More
money by far has been spent for the
primaries this year than under the old
system and it Is generally thought
that the total amount aggregates be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 The rules
were effective in bringing out an un-
usually large primary vote. At the
last general election the largest Repub-
lican vote cast in the county was IA
ig A
Saturdays primaries will foot up sew
eral hundred more. In Wilkes Barre
city alone, 500 votes more were cast
than at the last general election. While
the result is not all that could be de-
sired in the line of nationalities, the
distribution of the offices in regard to
localities has been fairly we'll done
and the ticket can be considered a
strong one,
Mr.. Ferris has probably polled the
highest number of votes on the ticket
and was an easy winner.
The nomination of Mr.. Drury for
state senator is a sweeping victory for
the Quayites, and his handsome ma
jority over his chief opponent, Mr..
Scott, Tan avowed anti-Quay mani, 10
blow TO the "antis." While Mr.. Dru-
ry has not publicly expressed himself
on the question, 1t is generally under
stood he will stand by the caucus and
vote for Mathew Stanley.
The selection of Benjamin Jones for
district attorney is not considered a
surprise, and he beat Mr.. Baxter with
plenty OF votes to spare. The latter
had aroused considerable interest in
his candidacy owing TO his energetic

is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicinesp

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, ~ G.
1t may be a question whether the
editor Of a newspaper has the right TO
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
markets, yet as a preventive of suffer
ing we feel II a duty to say a good
word for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine In our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found it reliable. In many cases
a dose Of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for a cure,
but we do believe that II a bottle OF
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past twenty years. For sale by all
druggists. Matthews Bros. wholesale
