It is not many years since Thomas Geary
auded from Ireland at Castle Garden, his
earthly possessions being tied up In a faded
cotton handkerchief; Ills clothes wcie of
he kind worn by the poorest of the Irish
peasantry; he had not a nickel in his pock
ct, and as he strolled up Broadway, stop
ping to take a good look at Trinity splrc,In
his wildest dream he could scarcely have
conceived that in tho not distant future he
would be looked upon as one of the fathers
of this great city, and his vote as American
citizen, which was only worth fifty cents
two weeks after he landed, as a New York
Alderman, when a railroad franchise was
up, would be worth ttie magnificent sum or
twenty thousand dollars.
While I write, on the table before mo Is a
list of Mr. Geary's compatriots and coad
jutors in the Board of Aldermen which has
now become Immortal In Infamy. The
names are suegestlvo and every one of them
not convicted and In State's Prison Is now
under indictment. The first on the list Is
Thomas Geary, then come Itobcrt D. I.acy,
Charles Dempscy, Michael Duffy, of Duffy
vllle, Patrick Farley, Patrick Kenny,
McCabe, Michael McLoughlln, Arthur J.
McQuade, John C. O'Connor, John O'Nell
and Charles II. Kellly. Mr. Geary, whose
name heads this precious list, was not long
in getting a job; the frelzecoat.tho brogues
and baubeen gaye way to superfine broad
cloth, patent leather and a shlney hat; the
poor immigrant who considered himself
well paid in Ireland at five or six pounds a
year was not long in reaching a point where
he tucked away thousand dollar bills in his
old tin box as his grandfather did sods of
turf outside of his cabin door In Wleklow,
No sweeping or spittoon cleaning for Tho.
Geary! Why, man, he was receiving a sal
ary equal to that of the Governor of the
State of New York ; yes, equal to that of
the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States! With this golden Influx
of wealth came the tremendous possibilities
of political advancement. The ward that
Alderman Geary represented Is next to llio
ward largely made up of banks, ollices .ind
stores; within its lines millions of wealth
are stored, and while It is the hive of busy,
pushing thousands during the day, at night
It is abandoned to policemen and janitors,
the entire resident population being less
than a thousand, though the abundant
otes turned out by Its ballot-boxes hare
frequently turned an election. In contra
distinction of all the other Indicted Alder
men, Thomas Geary took the stand in his
own behalf, and the judge, jury and prose
cuting attorney opened their eyes as lie told
the story of tho thousand dollar bills ivhlch
lie had tucked away in his old tin box. It
staggered the jury so that they were coin

Upon the convening of the Legislature
last January tlic several railroad companies
made their regular distribution of free
passes of the members of both Houses
Many to the members were provided with
passes over the Krlc road, good until June,
and It Is natural to presume that many"
legislators fondly pictured a pleasure jaunt
to Niagara before tho expiiation of that
date. However, during last week they
were nil called In. There Is no effort
made to conceal the manner In whlcl
passes aro distributed. The agents of the
companies have small desks in both Houses
and aro yeiy open In their actions. Speak
tug about recalling free passes bring to
mind Callaghans corrcspodcnco with the
Erie road: I,ast week Callaghan received a
notice from the Pittsburg and Lake Diie
Uoad that the annual pass he was supposed
to have would not be good after April 1,
ana requesting its return. The nostaze
was not prepaid, aud Callaghan was com
pelled to ulve the Postmaster a penny be
fore he could get the precious letter. The
Westmoreland member sat down and wrote
the General Manaserof tho road the follow
ing characteristic letter:

whether fjie Commissioners will have to pay

have It paid of the appropriation for the rinuilu,

important one us tho Commissioners will havo

II ANNOUNCEMENT.
Still the Oldest Drug Store In Lower Carbon. The'
oldest store and the "Newest" Medicines EgXo relics
1 nf antediluvian origin in that line. Hut wc will not
lie in too great hahte; "the proof of the pudding is the
eating" and when we are ready to open all enn tee fur
themselves. Wc have been delaved hcvond expecta
tion ; wc nre nt the mercy of our painter, and htisincwi
is mi hrisk in the city, (hut our orders have not been
filled as we expected ; we also find that we have n
heavy contract on our hands, ni:c.VRE vk Aim r
Tr.ttMlSKD to excel. JCxccIIeucc is our ntnlto, nnd
with that in view we fcluill zealously aim to bring the
"Oldest Drug Store" up to its original stnndard, as
vhen in its pristine glory it was presided ovcrhy A. J,
Durling,thcn the leading Pharmacist in Carbon County.
After having been "laid on the slielP' for almost
three years, It was witit great reluctance thnt wc forced
ourselves to enter the business arena again. Our in
firmities at first would have preferred otherwise, but
circumstances so shaped themselves that it became
really necessary for us to enter the field nnd continue
the life of our earlier amliitimi. Under the stimulus
of ihN virtue, we find our dormant energies reviving,
' nnd with a healthy brain, fully occupied nnd fully
capable to do anything anil everything it did before,
wo fear no failure. We aro ourselves again, taken
dovrii from the shelf, dusted olfand ready to go it with
as gootl a hand us any.
