Trolley Link Plan.

A survey made between Ashley and
Wilkesbarre indicates that the plan of
the new trolley road between the latter
city and Hazleton is to connect with the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the termin-
us OF the Cannon Ball route between
Wilkesbarre and Scranton, and run the
line with three connections between
Hazleton and Scranton via Wilkesbarre.
This will enable the cars to make the
entire run in an hour and half, while
it now takes the railroad two and three
quarters hours.

POLITICAL.

William Heister, OF Lansford, who
director for the three-year term, is a
man who is we'll fitted for the office.
The nomination came to him unsought
but he has entered the contest with
spirit and, with his many friends in his
home town and its vicinity, he is making
. determined effort to win. Mr.. Hester
has served five terms as tax collector Of
Lansford, and at present holds that
Office. This is proof that he is one who
can be trusted and that he is not without
experience in public affairs. If elected,
conduct the office in business-like way
James " McGill, the Democratic
candidate for the one-year term for poor
director, is a native of Lausanne town
ship, Carbon county, where he resides,
and is meeting with considerable sue
cess in his tour. Mr. McGill has many
friends in the Luzerne end OF the dis
trict and will poll large vote in this
section.
The local campaign continues to pass
along without anything of special inter
est to mark the approach Of the day
when the ballots will decide who shall
hold the important offices OF the borough
for the next three years. While the
average voter has so far failed to en-
thuse, as in former years, the candi-
dates are hard at work.
Foster township Democrats haye
strong hopes Of electng their entire
ticket next Tuesday. The party is
thoroughly united in every district and
a canvass of the various polls makes the
candidates confident OF winning.
In his canvass for tax collector Coun-
man j. P. McNeis is receiving substan-
tial promises Of support from members
OF all parties. His colleague, Z. 0.
Obsrrender, the candidate for burgess,
is also assured OF large vote. Both
men are putting forth strong efforts to
win and will leave nothing honorabl
undone to obtain majority of the votes.

Arraigns the Order.
MarkIe's Attorney Delivered
Ills Argument This Morn
ing and Baer Will Speak
for Companies Tomorrow.

picture OF the alleged red nag reign
in the coal fields was yesterday present
ed to the Anthracite Strike Commission
by John L. Lenahan. counsel for the
non-union miners, who, he said, look to
this tribunal for the redress denied them
in the ordinary courts OF Justice. A
great crowd was present to hear Mr.
Lenahan. James II. Torrey and Ma ior
Everett Warren, the orators OF the day.
Another big audience attended this
morning, when Samuel Dickson spok e
for the independent operators, partic-
ularly &. B. Markle & Co., and for the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company.
Ira Burns and C. II. Reynolds will take
up several Of the vital issues as viewed
by operators who have no direct con-
nection with the carrying corporations,
and Francis | Gowen, counsel for the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company, will maxi e
the closing argument Of the day.
George f. Baer, president of the
Reading and spokesman for all the coal
road presidents, will begin to speak at
10 o'clock tomorrow morning. He will
argue for about four hours.
In opening his argument Mr.. Lena
han congratulated the country upon the
personnel of the commission aud prom
ised that the award, be what it may,
will be accepted without protest every
where. He then reviewed the work of
the commission, and coming directly to
the part of the argument allotted to
him, said:
81 stand here to arraign the miners
organization as guilty OF almost every
crime known in the catalogue OF Of
lenses. We have proven the crime, and
with equal certainty in many instances
we have proven the identity Of the cul
prit. What are these crimes? Murder
-four foul murders. And say the
gentlemen, these murders count for
paught because it was announced by
some irresponsible party that twenty.
one murders were perpetrated You
ton Of twentyone murders; and, there
fore, having failed to do that, it goes
for naught that you have shown here
four wanton, unprovoked and indefensi-
BILE murders
"What else have we shown here?
We have shown the house burning in
the dead hour of the night: while the
husband aud the father is pursuing his
lawful avocation In order to secure
bread for his children the torch of in
cendiarism is applied to his house, and
almost in the twinkling of an eye that
home is razed to the ground, and that
family is driven out, driven out in the
midnight air to seek shelter where it
will.
NV hat else? Here In this room it was
declared under the solemnity Of an oath,

There is only one thing in Rub
Der Boot or Shoe that has any
wearing qualities, and that is Rub
Der. There is absolutely no wear
in any of the other ingredients.
There is only one way to reduce
the cost, and that is to take out
rubber and put in its place other
things in which there is no wearing
quality whatever.
Every time the quality of a Rub
Der Boot or Shoe is reduced 10 per
cent, its durability is reduced over
20 per cent.
