The Wi'.keslurre AV.vr. wants Judge Rice advanced to the Supreme bench to succeed the late Judge McCollum. The .ir wants Judge Lynch advanced hor.i the Luzerne presi dent judgeship to the vacancy on the Superior tench should Judge Rice be elevated to the Supreme bench. In advocating the appointment of Judge Usee the aY.v. very truth fully says that the " great and popu lous 1101 ihcastern section of Penn sylvania, which embraces the im portant anthracite mining interests, together with tiumberless other in dustries, is entitled to recognition when Governor reuuypacker comes to fill the existing vacancy on the Supreme bench." The I.taJer agrees with this con tention, believiug it good, and sub mits " that no more competent jurist can be found in all North eastern Pennsylvania than the Hon. John Lynch, rresidjnt Judge of the Luzerne bench. He is not only sufficiently well learned in the law of the Commonwealth, but is parti cularly qualified to lend to the court the benefit of his wide experi ence in matters which might natural ly arise in the course of litigation from this section " Hence Governor Tennypacker ought to name Judge Lvnch for appointment to the Superior bench. This portion of the State is geo graphically, numerically, tndustri ally entitled to at least one mem'er of the court of last resort. The only thing that can be said against the suggestion is that Judge Rice is too badiv needed in his present place. As President Judge of the Superior Court, which is in some respects as important to the people as the :upreme Court, specially in its criminal jurisdiction, he las from the very beginning of that tribunal's existence shaped its policy and its work in large degree. He has en deared himself to the lawyers of the State by his competency and his fair, fearless, houest decisions. Per haps he more thoroughly meets the demands for a good judge in his present place, therefore, than he might in the Supreme position. The point to he considered as para mount then is whether he shall re main where his good offices are so paramount, or instead be exalted uow to the more dignified place to which in the line of promotion he is destined. Judge Lynch's advancement would make Halsev the president judge of Luzerne. Who may hare his eye ou the vacancy thus made is not yet disclosed. Hazuton Sc. tint I.

The Harrisbtirg base ball team, by defeating Camden on Monday won the Mile of tri-state champion, as wtll as the cup offered to the winner bv Mr. Elverson of the rkiLtJttfhia Inquirer, Harrisburg's victory did not create any special wonder. The concensus of opinion from the time the came was arrang ed, favored the capital city team. The only surpie was the t'-jfeat of Wilmington by Camden. The lat ter was considered the weakest of the three clubs, but their impjtency was not apparent on Monday. They plaxed with a vim and dash that was a pleasure to witness and at the end of the ninth inning were one count ahead of their opponents. 1 he score was 65. I-aulkner pitched lor Wilmington and Pollock for Camden. In the second game Camden ex perienced a run of hard luck. They o;itbatted Harrisburg by three hits, but were badly mixed in the field and made two unfortunate plays. But as some one has said, "it is the big and little that goes toward mak ing base ball the great national game. The score was Harrisburg 4, Camden 3. Hardy was Harris burg's pitcher while Dovey operated ior Camden. Bloomsburg was deeply interested in the outcome of the game, chiefly because Dr Aldinger and John Hummel played with Wilmington. The former, however, did not play on Monday, Hummel, as usual was on hand with the goods, and put up the same star game that has marked his playing all through the season. He had one hit, one run, one put out, four assists and no errors. This is a good record and goes to show that he was in no way respon sible for the loss of the game. Some idea of the interest taken in the game is shown by the attendance, which was 12,000. FHOJI OOUST HOUSE CORRIDORS.

Bennett, claimed to be a traveling salesman, stole a revolver from Schuyler's hardware store yes terday morning. The theft was discovered by the clerk Edward Leighow, who going after the thief recovered the stolen article. A few minutes later he walked into Run you's hardware store aud did the same thing, but he only kept the last one a little while, when he re turned and without making any ex planation laid the stolen article on the counter and departed. Officer Baum was put on the case snd he arrested the man. A little later he was taken before Squire Jacoby where ne admitted his guilt, but made no defense other than stating that he must have been crazy. The man looks like anything but a thief and it is the opinion of the Justice that his mind is unbalanced. The cae is a very strange one. At the St. Elmo Hotel where he was stopping he registered under a diff erent name from that given when arrested. He was taken to jail and will be arraigned before the Sqnire again today. Inasmuch as he has admitted the theft he will probably be held for December Court. bulls o os cousr.
