Farmer. Mcar UuotlDgueu ilelec Vlclliulted

A new und lngonleus swindle Is new
being successfully werked en the
farmers In the lewer end et Huntingdon
county. Scores et them have bcen already
vlcttmlzsd te the extent et many hundreds
of dellarp. A versatile, well dressed fellow
drlves up te n farmer's heuse with two or
mere et the cheaper klnda of hay fork.
The etranger asku the prlvlloge of tem
porarily storing the forks in the farmer's
barn; and the ncoemmodatlug farmer
usually grants tbe pormlislen. When
the forks have been Btercd away the
sharper temarks that they are the last of
a large let that he has bcen selling through
the neighboring county, and as he la anx
ious te cloae out the consignment, it the
farmer will soil them whlle they are tem
porarily kept en ills premises he shall have
fifty per cent- oemmlBalou ou the eule.
The otter Is a temptiug oue and the unsus unsus unsus
ploleus farmer generally accepts, lie is
then roquested, merely as a bu.ineas form
andesau evidence or geed faith, te attlx
bis signature te a paper specifying the
terms en whleh tbe forks are stored en his
premises. The document is a printed ene
aad very lengthy, nud In a majority et
Instance the farmer signs It without read

Its Blgiiltlcacce la inade Tery clear te hltn,

he is called upon by a oenfode rate et tbe
llrBt sharper te pay outright au extravagant

Last year when Mayer Bdgerley went
Inte cfllce be appointed Jacob Bettz street
commissioner and H. B. Vendersmlth
chief of the fire department. These two
gentlemen had an idea that they were solid
for tour years, but the decision of tbe
supreme oeurt In regard te Lancaster
knocked their oilenlatlona all wrong.
Their posillenr will new have te be filled by
oeunollp.
The big fight will be for the ofllee of street
commissioner, and one et the candidates In
Beriz. Wfcea he waa appeluted in tbe
offlce by the mayor last year, there waa
mueh dissatisfaction among the people as
we'l as tbe politicians, as be was yery
unpopular and he has net added te his
number of friends during the past year.
He claims te have some strength, but these
who knew say he has no show and he will
net get all et the members from
bis own ward. The man who new
oeema te be the favorite for the position is
Jehn Jehnsen, who Uvea en North Queen
street, and votes in the Sixth ward. He la
aliepubllcan In politic, but never took
any actlve interest In politics. He Is raid
te be a first class man for tbe position, ar.d
he eeema te bare made a very favorable
impression with tbe connellmen. Among
the ether eandldatea are the follewing: Ex
Street .Commissioners Peter B, Ferduey
and Samuel II. Levan, who can always
be counted aa oindldates, Frank Hinder,
a welt known contractor who bas done
much work for the city, Jehn Breck, ex ex ex
superlutoudentef tbe almshouse, Qdorge
Hunter, who lives In Lancaster about cne
half of thetlme, but always bobs up In the
Hprleg as (a candidate for commissioner,
Peter Gorreoht, who probably has as strong
claims en tbe party as any of them, and
Monne Wenger, et Bast Orange street, who
is unknown te politicians. There may be
names odded te this list befere the home
stretch Is leached, but Jehnsen new ioeko
llke a winner.
There are two candidates for chlef engln
oerof tbe tire department, II, B. Vender
emltb, who is anxious te suceced himself,
and Harry Shaub, an employeot thegaa
works, and for yeara a member of the city
fire department. Shaub is backed by Lewla
S. Hartrnnn, and for a tlme it looked as
though he was going te win. The present
ohlel's fricudb new claim that their man
will get there easily.
Fer city treasurer Harry Kathfen, the
prcsent lncumbent, is likely te have a walk
ever. Wltmer Hess makes his annual
nppearance en the aceae as a candidate and
tells ntorlea of bis strength whleh usually
docs net appear at the caucus. Kattfen's
friends emtie at the suggestion of opposition
from thai quarter, Jeseph Recser, had
Intend Bit te be a caudldate for the cfllce but
he h.h that he neglected te have men
f iv i able te him elected In dlllerent wards,
rxu it la tee late te de anything after the
election.
Forsuperlntondent of the -water works
Peter Ileuhel wishes te be chosen again.
Ills opposition Is ex-Councilman Edward
Praley, of the Ninth ward. The latter
claims te have strength that will carry him
through, but Ileusel aud hi friends have
been stirring around aud they claim that he
cau't be beat.
There was teme talk et opposition te
William T. Brown, the present city solicitor
and his oppeuont was Jehn E, Snyder, a
young member of the bar. Brown baa the
call, however, by a large majority, and if
Mr. Snyder really is a eandldate he will
net have n great deal of show,
Fer elty regulator there seems te be a
strong opposition te the re-election of Cel.
S. C. Slaymaker, and the ellert that will be
made te down him will Hkely be success,
lul. Allan A, Uerr Is the man booked for
hla place.
There Is no opposition te Rebert J, Evans,
presldent of select council, and he will be
n jcccssful again. The same can be said of
President Beard, et common branch, J.
K. Barr, who has filled tbe position or clerk
of belect council se long, will go back.
Alderman Deen has been clerk et common
branch for but ene year, and it la bslleved
no opposition tan down him.
ItafllDE en the Sniriathanu
The warm weather et the past week has
caused the enew te melt rapidly In tbe
mountains north aud west et Wllllamspert,
and the Went Branch river there is new
eight feet above low water mark lu con
sequence. This la an elegant stage for
raiting, but owing te the Ice gorges up
river the lumbermen have been delayed
putting in their tlmber. A number of
rafts tbat were harbored In Bald Eagle
creek during the winter bsve been started
for market. The first raft et the season
paesed WllllamHpert a few days age and
attracted considerable altcnllun.

Lancaster's gang of expert burglars de
