Congressman Joseph il. shun. of
the Twenty-sixth Congressional Dis
trict, composed Of the counties Of
Northampton, Monroe, Carbon and
Pike, has announced himself a
candidate for reelection on the
Democratic ticket. Or. Shull, It is
believed, will receive the conferees
from Monroe without contest and
his friends say they do not fear the
news received from Carbon county
to the effect that a lively fight is
promised for the county conferees
Monroe connty democrats nor,
that whoever secures the oonferees
from Carbon will allow Congressman
shull's claim for a second term, AMI
believe that tho conferees from tho'
county viii be found supporting D
Shull for denomination.
Congressman Shull and his friend
expect little trouble in Pike county
Should Monroe, Pike and Carbo
pull together as they did a year az
the position taken by ex-C Congress
man Mutohler, whatever it may be.
they contend will not seriously affec'
the result.-Easron Free Press.

UNKNOWN MAN KILLED
Because Of Misapprehension or Ig-
noranee Of Law and Facts the
Rnd-- ir - n.-..-.a
Milford, pike County, Pa.

nofance OF Law ana facta the
Body is not Removed
A man, whose name may be
Turner, of Pond Eddy, was struck
by an Erie engine opposite Hawk :
Nest Wednesday right and killed
and his body mangled almost beyond
recognition. he is assumed to be
the same person who was earlier
elected from train because of in
toxication, and that he wandered
along and on the railroad. Difficulty
in securing the services of the cor
oner of this county prolonged re-
moval Of the body and it was put in
a box and left beside the tracks.
(The fact is there is no duly quail
ified coroner in the county. Dr.
Kelly Of Matamoras, who was cor
oner, removed from the county be-
fors the expiration of his term and
did not resign until after the election
of his successor. The democrats
assuming a vacancy elected in No
vember DR.. John Kelly Of this
borough. The Department at Har.
risburg has not issued a commission
to him, probably because at the time
of his election there was no legal
vacancy.
The act of 1S41 says
In all cases where By law She
coroner of any county is required to
hold an inquest over dead body, it
shall be lawful for a Justice of the
peace of the proper county TO hold
the same where there is no lawfully
appointed coroner, or he is absent
from the county, unable to attend,
or his Office is held more than ten
miles distant from the place where
the death occurred or the body
found.
Even If the coroner elect, DR.. John
Kelly, Of Milford, was the lawful
coroner, his Office would probably be
more than ten miles from the place
where this body was found, hence a
justice Of the peace would have
jurisdiction, and, since there is no
lawful coroner in the county it
clearly would be lawful for justice
to act. If there is ian arbitrary
law in this state prohibiting the
removal of dead body until ordered
by the coroner" we have never read
itin cur statute books.-Ed. PREss. )

DR.. J. T Rothrock, Secretary Of
the Penn'a Forestry Association,
says;
I'VE are going to prosecute con.

forest fires. We have told consta-
bles that whenever they sue the
county commissioners for their
services for fighting the fires, if the
lower courts give Judgment against
them, we will pay the cost OF carry
ing it to the Superior court The
commissioners have been telling
constables they could not be paid,
but there is a penalty for the com.
missioners too, that may be en-
forced.

To Make More Fish Laws

The protection and propagation OF
fish in the Delaware River will be
taken up conformity by the Fish
Commissioners of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, under an agreement
made in Trenton Tuesday by Fish
Commissioner Meehan, of Peausyl
vania, and the New Jersey Fish and
Game Committee
The Legislature Of New Jersey
will be asked for an appropriation OF
$3.50 for the propagation of sturgeon
a similar appropriation having been
made by Pennsyl vania last year for
that purpose. The work of sturgeon
Matching will be conducted at the
new Torresdale hatchery by Living
ston Stone, an expert from the
United States Bureau of Fisheries.
Both States will conduct the shad
and other river fish work, Pennsyl-
vsnia to provide the hatcheries and
do the inoubating and New Jersey
to furnish the eggs.
Laws similar in their provisions
for the protection Of the fish and
fishermen of the Delaware River
win be enacted by both states. tits
proposed to put a license fee on nets
to pay for stocking the river with
valuable food fishes, the same as is
paid by the Lake Erie fishermen.
The highest legal authorities will be
asked for opinions as to whether,
under such a law. wardens of one
state can arrest violators in the
other state, and whether they can
be commissioned to make arrests in
both states.

EASY TASK TO SPRING
"RINGERS" ON TRACKS

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 9.-Recently a
Memphis merchant. at one time actively
engaged in the racing game, made the as
serton that 1t is an easy task to launch a
ringer If proper precautions are taken.
This former owner, IL is said. is not speak
ing from experience, but makes the state
ment from his observations of the manner
in which racing is conducted on some of
the Western tracks. His argument is that
a fast horse. not nationally known, can be
substituted for a horse with little speed and
the public or officials would never be the
wiser.
This Memphis merchant formerly owned
A. ID. Gibson. chestnut son of Favor and
Kate Pelletier and possibly regarded as one
or the best sprinters racing at st. Louis
ana chicago tracks He owned A. ID. Glib
son when that horse made his first start at
st. Louis on Friday. June s, 1900 The race
was for two-year-olds and was won by
Jungbluth. which beat fair field. among
which was A. ID. Gibson, which trailed in
last
Il chose the name of A. d. Gibson early
In the year. but failed TO register II with
the Jockey Club officials, says this former
owner of 4. D. Gibson. March / passed
by and still l didn't claim any name. for
as that was the last day allowed TO claim
a name without cost l just thought that
"A. ID. Gibson was not worth naming and
passed II up. When we arrived at st. Louis
the colt showed some speed and we struck
a soft spot where we thought we could win.
But a. d. Gibson had not been registered
according 10 the racing laws. We didn't
know what TO do. but finally decided on
taking a chance with the association. We
entered A. ID. Gibson and he was accepted.
We bet lot OF money, but he finished last.
We were not discouraged however, and
kept starting him until he rounded TO form
and although to-day he is a good sprinter,
by all the laws of racing he should not be
allowed TO start His name is not as vet
legal one on the turf"

MANY GOOD ATHLETES
IN SOCIAL TURNER'S
Society Will Send a Team to Com
pete in Olympic Games at
St. Louis.
EMMERICH THE LEADER
Holds All-Round Championship
of Indianapolis in Athletic
Events.
EMMERICH THE LEADEI

Four of the best known athletes in the
city are Max Emmerich. Willard Schrader,
Erwin Happersburger and Harry Prinzler.
All are members Of the Socaler Turnverein
and will be in the class which will repre-
sent the Socialer Turnverein of Indianapo-
lis in the contests for the championship Of
the world TO be held at ST. Louis during
the worlds fair in 1904 The Olympic
games, as the contests will be known. will
have classes present from all the prominent
Turner societies in the world. Each So
ciety will be allowed class Of six contest
ants and probably four substitutes.
Max Emmerich is probably the best
known athlete in the State. He won the
alI-round championship of the city at the
Hyde Park track meet last summer and
has won numerous medals for work on the
apparatus in the gymnasiums of the city
and State. Emmerich will enter the events
for the championship of the world at st.
Louis. There are ten events on the pro-
gramme and to be eligible tc winning the
championship each contestant must start
in every event He is now captain of the
Socialer Turnverein basketball team, which
has defeated every team 1t has met this
season. Mr.. Emmerich Is twenty-four
years of age and has been a member of the
years old.
Erwin Happersburger has been a member
of the Socialer Turnverein for fourteen
years and has devoted the greater part of
his time to work on the apparatus. He has
Just recently taken up the field work. He
will enter the class events at the Olympic
games and is depended upon To win the pole
vault.
Harry Prinzler Is a comparatively newre-
cruit to the Turnverein ranks. He joined
the society four years ago and has made
an excellent showing in short sprints and
work on the apparatus. Prinzler will enter
the fifty and 11O-yard dashes at st. Louis
and can be counted upon to make a good
showing.
Willard Schrader Is also comparatively
new man in athletics, having Joined the
Turnverein at about the same time as did
Mr.. Prinzler. Schrader is a good man in
both field and track events. His specialties
are the standing and running broad jumps,
the shot puts and dashes. Mr.. Schrader
will enter the above named events in the
Olympic games and should carry off the
