The. specific charges allege that the

the timber and delivered 1t to the mills
owned by the other six men, where it
has been cut. It is claimed that the
mill operators secure the timber at a
much less cost, because of it's having
oeen stolen and that the mills could
not be operated on any other basis in
that vicinity. .
The application for restraining or

David O'Connell, who alleges that the
material has been delivered to the mills
by the settlers and that in some cases
logs bearing the mark Of the Pine Tree
company have been appropriated.

A POPULAR ALDERMAN,

In Wilkesbarre, Pa, an alderman
has lately been reelected for his
twenty-ninth term. in regular success
sion. A great many persons would
like to know how he has contrived
to continue so popular. Well he does
not contrive at all. He does not have
to. He did one thing many years ago
which apparently has secured him a
life tenure in office. He won such APP
prevail of the womenkind in the city
that they require his reelection so
emphatically that it is never in doubt.
Was it dear way he had of kissing
their babies? Not at all. He was
holding court one day and wife
beaten was brought before him. Con-
ceiving that an obligation was upon
and morals, he came down from the
bench and thrashed the offender with
in an inch of his life. That was the
making of his political fortune. The
women folk have compelled their rep
resentative voters to keep him in Of
flee as a guarantee of their own pro-
lection from brutal husbands. 1t is
said that the offender was reformed
permanently, while the Influence Of
the action Of the alderman-justico has
been Of the greatest advantage
Whether this incident was known to
the Medico-Legal-society Of New
York when it formally resolved the
other day to draft and present to the
Legislature a bill establishing the
whipping post for the punishment of
wife beaters. we do not know.
