PRISON BOARD
SNUBBED AGAIN
Court Refuses to Confirm
It's Appointments.
Republican Politicians Are
anic-Stricken at a Oeci-
sion Which Upsets Their
Division of the SpoiIs.

The Republican politicians Of this
county were thrown into a panic Satur-
day afternoon when the court handed
down decision refusing to confirm the
appointments made at the county jail by
the Board OF Prison Commissioners.
The board is Republican, but the
members of that party are unable tc
agree on slate and as result the
Democratic members on the board sue
ceeded in electing number OF Demo-
Gratis to positions. This was distasteful
to large number of Republicans.
1t has been the custom heretofore for
the Prison Board to make the appoint
ments, and they were final, but this
time the court resurrected an old law,
that the board had no authority to ap-
point, but could nominate a jail warden
and other officials, but the court must
approve of the nominations.
When this was made known to the
Prison Board they had another meeting
and nominated the men previously elect
ed. This was evidently not satisfactory
to the court, hence the opinion refusing
to confirm the nominations. The old
officials of the jail will hold oyer.
The action OF the court probably
means big breach in the ranks in the
Republican party of Luzerne.

BASKET BALL.
Crescents Meet Defeat for the First Time

team, the North End Stars, defeated
the Crescepts In an exciting contest
Saturday evening by score of Is to g.
The visitors were a battle-scarred party
of strength and plainly showed the
marks of the many contests they have
participated in-such teams as the New
York City Nationals and others equally
as good having gone down before them
by larger scores than the locals. Out of
total of about forty-five games played
this season they have lost but five
Referee Cope started the ball in play
and the visitors took possession of it
and after much hard playing land
ed an ace The visitors placed another
ace to their credit and landed three free
throws, which gave them total OF 7
on free throws allowed, but succeeded in
shooting two baskets or points.
The second half opened by the locals
landing an ace and the visitors scored
on a free throw. Time was taken out
on account of the injury OF player and
when play was resumed the ball was fol-
lowed to the side line by Jacquot and
Eltrigham.
The later struck the former a stinging
blow on the head and then picked up
the local player and threw him across
the floor. Spectators interfered and the
visitor would have been handle without
gloves had not cooler heads prevailed.
After an interval the players were pre-
vailed on to forgive and forget aud play
was resumed.
During the balance of time the visit
ors succeeded in scoring points, while
the locals failed to get look in The
score for the half was North End
Stars, s; Crescents, 2. The final score
was: Stars, Is; Crescents, 6.

W FAIR TREASURES MISSING.
Personal Effects of Automobile Vic
Tins Have Been Hammered win.

Personal Effects of Automobile Vic
Tins Have Been Tampered With.
San Francisco, Jan. 20.--A sensation
al discovery was made, says the Call,
when the personal effects of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Fair arrived
from Paris a few days ago. The mag
nificent Russian sable coat, valued at
$4,000 which Mrs. Fair bequeathed
in her will to Mrs. Joe Harvey, was
gone and cheap imitation affair, not
worth $50, had been substituted in its
place. Mrs. Fairs famous pearl neck
lace of five strings, valued at $4,000,
had been tempered with, and instead
of real pearls in the necklace cheap i'm
itation gems had been get in their
places.
Numbers of articles of jewelry which
the Fairs were known to have taken
to Europe were missing, and their only
effects which were returned through
the American consulate in Paris intact
were Mrs. Fairs chinchilla and mink
coats and Charles Fairs scarfpins.
The changes were made, it is believed.
before the valuables were turned over
to the American consulate. Steps have
been taken to attempt to locate the
missing articles
