ALLEGED VIOLATION.
Said That Fish Are Not Protected at
Flume Entrance.

Strong complaints are being made
by residents of the northern part of
the county in regard to the alleged
violation of the fish regulations by
the Northwestern Gas & Electric
company. 1t is said that there is no
screen over the large pipe line where
water is taken from the Walla Walla
river, and that as a result many fish
are being destroyed. 1t is probable
that when the new fish and game
warden for this district is appointed
the matter will be called to his at
tention.

From reports received from every
county in the state, Colonel Wesley
r. Andrews, chairman of the Republi-
can state committee, confidently pre-
diets the election of J. Lee Piummer,
Republican nominee for state treas
urer. by over 100000 majority. and he
says he would not be surprised to see
the figures reach nearer 100000.
Mr. Plummer has made a splendid
candidate, and it is predicted by many
that he will lead his ticket when the
returns shall be finally computed.
PIummer's Interesting Career.
Mr.. Plummer was born at Upper
Tyrone Forge, Snyder township, Blair
county. Pennsylvania, September 20,
1859. His grandfather and father
were forgemen and worked in the
forge at that place. His father, James
S. Plummer, was a member of the
Tyrone Artillery Company of the state
militia, and at the fall encampment,
held at Hollidaysburg, in September
1858 had the major portion of both
hands blown off by the premature dis
charge of his cannon.
A few years later he was appointed
postmaster of Tyrone, and moved
there with his family. Lee attended the
public school and assisted in the sup
port of the family by selling news
papers morning and evening, and
there are some men and women liv-
ing in Tyrone-not so old, either
who remember very distinctly a
bright eyed urchin whom they were
in the habit of addressing as Lee, P"
and who often persuaded them to buy
L.orning newspaper in spite of them
| selves. That was the modest begin
ming of his efforts after independence.
| His former patrons have always re-
manned his friends. Graduating from
the Tyrone public schools at the age
of II, in the Centennial year, young
| Plummer secured a clerkship at the
! Tyrone scales of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company. and later was
transferred to the transportation de-
partment and made passenger brake
man on the Tyrone division.
In 1881 he removed with his parents
to Hollidaysburg, the county seat of
Blair county, and of that town he has
ever since been a resident.
Young Plummer began to take an
active interest in politics while yet a
mere boy. He is Republican both
by inheritance and conviction and his
intense interest attracted the atten-
ton of the party workers, with whom
he was glad to associate from early
youth, and he was actually elected to
membership on the county committee
before he attained his majority.

Notwithstanding the fact that
anthracite operators decry the
probability of Il strike next April,
when the pretent wage scale expires
they are mining exceptionally large
quantities of coal. 1t is proposed
to make the remaining three
months production the greatest in
history.
The shipment of anthracite coal
by all companies during the month
of September was 5,0S2, .232 tons as
compared with 8, ,967 900 tons for
the same period in 1904. For the
year to date the shipments have
been 45, 3S7, $40 tons while in 1904
they were ~, 173, 76S tons. There
were a few days during last month
the mines were shut down. Besides
the tour of President John Mitchell
through the mining region also
caused many mines to remain idle.

Milton Taylor Rails from Tree

Milton Taylor, of Muncy Valley,
narrowly escaped serious injury last
week while picking apples at his
home. He fell a distance of 20 or -
feet, and while he was pretty badly
done up, it Is little short of a miracle
that he did not have number of
bones broken.
Mr. Taylor had a fairly good apple
crop at his place, and he was in the
act of picking them wuen the accident
betell him. He used ladder where
it was possible, but on one except
ional tall tree it was necessary to
climb higher up in order to get the
fruit.
He had climbed some distance,
when he stepped out onto a limb
which appeared to be sound, but it
was defective, and under Mr.. Tay-
or's weight it gave way and hurled
him to the ground, about 20 or %
feet below.
The unfortunate man fell heavily.
He landed on his right side, and was
considerably dazed for the time be-
ing. While no bones We're broken,
his left wrist was badly sprained, his
face cut and his right shoulder and
and back badly bruised. The injury
to his wrist will inconvenience him
II some time to come.

Lawyer G. l.. Munson, in court at
Williamsport, recently created de-
cided sensation in addressing the
jury by charging j. III. Birdsall, an
officer of the Fidelity and Casualty
Co., of New York, with having made
faces and grlmaces for the purpose
of influencing the jurymon. Mr..
Munson pointing his finger at Mr..
Birdsall, declared: "Lycoming juries
are honest, and such an action is an
atrocious insult. That manner of
conducting cases may do in New
York city, but it is out of place here.
At one time during the trial it was
necessary for the court to reprove
Birdsall for making audible COM
ments on the evidence while stand
ing near the jury box.

Work AS a County Chairman.

He was secretary and chairman a
number of times. He was county chair
man in 1887. when an onslaught was
made on Captain William B. Hart, Re
publican candidate for state treasurer.
At that time the Republican majority
in Blair county was not large, the
county as often being carried by the
Democrats as by the Republicans. and
many persons feared the county woUl!
cast majority against Captain Hart
As a matter of fact, he had majority
of over 1900. This brilliant campaign
made Mr.. Plummer county chairman
in 1883, and that year the county gave
BENJAMIN Harrison. for president,
majority of over 2300, the largest ever
given any candidate up to that time.
In 1889 the Republicans of Blair
county were looking for good man
to fill the Office of register and re-
corder. They nominated Mr.. Plummer,
and the people endorsed the nomina-
ton by electing him and re-electing
him three years later. He instituted
many radical reforms in the office, per-
forming it's duties in the same ener-
getic and original fashion that had
marked his previous life. While serv-
ing the people as register and recorder
he utilized his spare time in the study
of the law. so that few months after
his retirement from Office he was ad-
mitted to the bar, of which he is now
an honored and useful member.
CIear-Headed Legislator.
In 1902 Mr.. Plummer was chosen as
one of the representatives from Blair
county in the legislature, being re-
elected in 1904. At the opening of the
session of 1903 he was appointed
chairman of the elections committee
of the house, and was member of
several other important committees.
He displayed qualities which com
mended him to the attention of the
leaders of the party and naturally
marked him for higher honors. He was
prompt in his discharge of all his leg
islative duties. He was a total alb
stainer from intoXicants and always
had a clear head.
1t was not surprising, therefore, to
his friends to learn that he had been
appointed chairman of the committee
on appropriations for the session of
1905. The work of the committee, un-
der his direction from start to finish,
is the best possible testimony to his
sincere purpose to serve the people
of the state and bring about the best
possible results for suffering human
ity. as well as the public at large. More
| than 500 bills were passed upon by
the appropriations committee of the
house, upon large majority of which
hearings were granted by the commit
| tee. at all of which the chairman pre-
sided. These hearings were free to the
public, and all applicants were given
! courteous treatment.
The appropriations were made after
wards upon merit. For one thing. the

Transfers Strike.

The teamsters employed by Thomas
Orr a boss truckman, Of New York,
who does all the hauling for H. j. Lib.
BY K Co., threatens to spread to all
teamsters in the city, in which case some
so 600 men will be involved.
The strikers fully expect to see gen.
eral strike in few days. The employ
ers were in session for several hours yes
day and adopted resolutions to maintain
the open shop and to refuse to make any
concessions TO the strikers.
The seriousness of the situation was
emphasized yesterday when an office for
the employment of strike breakers was
opened and a number of Pinkerton
men took their stations along White
street.
So far there has been no violence
whatever
The strikers say "We are not de.
manding what is strictly called a closed
.hop. We do not assume to dictate
whom the employers shall hire, but we
do demand that if they shall hire non
union men these men must join the union
at the first regular meeting following
their employment.
We ask for working day Of 10 hours
and 25 cents an hour for overtime. we ask
for drivers of four-horse teams SlSaweek,
for three-horse drivers Sl7, for two horse
drivers SIS and for single-horse drivers
SI3. We do not regard this as exorbi-
,ant. We believe we are entitled 10
some consideration, and are ready to ac-
cept in our union any man the employers
choose to hire"

and rigging industry oe Chicago have
