Harrisburg, Nov. 11.
Tt is the belief of close observers that
when General Hasting becomes gov
ernor the offices at his disposal will uot
need to seek tha men to any great ex
tout. In fact, several men have already
volunteered to fill each oflice, and the
season of office-seeking Is quite young
yet.
According to the Patriot, the most Im
portant of these olllces whloh General
Hastings will have ut his disposal Is
secretary of the commonwealth, the sal
ary of which Is $4,U)0 a year. Secretary
Ilarrlty has made on an average of over
$17,000 a year out of the office on salury
and fees. The deputy secretary receives
?2,500 a year; chief clerk, $2,200; cor
poration ilerk, $2,200; ten other clerks,
$1,400 each; one extra clerk, $1,500, and
messenger, $1,100. It has always been
the custom for the chief clerk of this
department fu serve us the clerk to the
board of pardons, the salary of which Is
$000 a year.
Other Snug Berths.

partment is paid out of the contingent
fund. Jacob Allen, a faithful old col
ored man has .filled this place continu
ously for twenty-three years. He Is a
Republican and will likely be retained
by the incoming governor.
The attorney general's oflice Is worth
$11,000 a year lu salury and fees. The
sulary of the attorney general Is $3,500,
or $5"0 less than that of his deputy, who
receives no fees unless by agreement of
the attorney general to divide them as

deputy, James A. Stranahan. The law

a year and the stenographer $1,500.

DON CAMERON IS FOR REED.
Ue Thinks the Lx-Sncoker lthe Strongest
.Man in the l ost.
By lh Unltad Press.
Washington, Nov. 11. Senator Don
Cameron has returned to Washington
feeling quite comfortable over the snug
majority the Pennsylvania Republicans
gava on Tuesday last. In view of the
frequent mention of Senator Cameron's
name In connection with tlje nomina
tion for the presidency, a reporter of the
New York Sun proceeded to sound the
senator on that subject. He deslares
positively that he has no presldontial
aspirations and never had "the bee in
his bonnet," notwithstanding all the
good-natured statements to the con
trary. He says he would like to see
Tom Reed elected president, for he be
lieves he would make an admirable ex
ecutive. '
He considers Mr. Reed the strongest
eastern man yet named, and he realizes
that Harrison and McKlnley are both
In the field for the nomination . He says
ex-Prcsldent Harrison Is as much a
candidate now as he was two years ago.
HIh work In the recent campaign
showed that, and the enthusiasm he
arouses wherever he appeared Indicates
that he still has many warm admirers
in the Republican party.

est victory the People's party has ever

have made the Populist party the only
silver party In the United States.

Italian Shot Down in Cold
Blood by a Fellow Country
man on Bunker Hill.
ASSASSIN LAY IN AMBUSH
Following His Revolting Clime Joe
Biisken Eludes Arrest and Gains
a Start of Seven or Eight
Hours Another Added to
Our List of .Murders.
A foul and ct.ld-blooded murder was.
committed last ivenlngon"Bunker Hill"
a section of ijiunmorc borough popu
lated by Italians and situated near
what Is known as the old No. 6 plune.
The murdered man was an Italian and
his slayer, who has escaped arrest, is
of the same nationality. Rather than
murder, the crime was assassination,
and the two Ituliun witnesses of the re
volting act were too drunk after their
arrest to throw any light on the affair,
and at an early hour this morning were
laying In a bestial stupor in the Dun
more lockup.
The name of the escaped murderer is
Joe Buskeen. He is 33 years of age, 3
ft. 10 In. In height, of slender build,
has a light colored, heavy, sandy mous
tache, curled at the ends, and Is
thought to be clad in a blue suit of
clothes.
Francis Combort. the dead man, was
married and conducted u sniull store
on "Bunker Hill." Both men worked as
section hands on the Erie and Wyoming
Vulley railroad.
They llad Been Drinking,
During yesterday Buskeen, Combort,
Tony Ritch and John Embriel partici
pated In a drunken carousal in Dun
more, and while returning to "Bunker
H1U" engaged In a quarrel at 6.30 o'clock
on the wire bridge over Roaring brook
near the railroad car shops. In the
scuffle which ensued Combort's hat was
knocked over Into the water and the
quartette had a general fight. Buskeen
separated from the others and started
homeward along the pathway that
runs up the hillside studded with laurel
shrubs. About ten minutes later Com
bort and his two companions started
along the same route.
When the trio reached, a. turn In the
pathway About two rods below the
Erie and Wyoming tracks a shot was
fired and Combort fell upon the bunk
skirting the upper side of the path. A
bullet had pierced his chest almost
in its center and in a line with the
heart. As Combort fell Buskeen sprang
from the bushes and in the presence of
his two fellow-countrymen fired an
other bullet into lib victim's prostrate
body.
Klich and Embriel wade no, attempt
t0 detain Iiuskeen until ho hud ran a
short distance back und along the path
way, ana wnen tney startuu toward
him the assassin halted them with his
weapon und then ran to the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western tracks and
disappeared In the direction of Elm
hurst. These particulars were gleaned
chiefly from James Klicn, a watchman
at the cur shops across the brook, and
from Italians who appeared on the
scene shortly after- the shooting and
claim to have obtained their informa
tion from tho two witnesses, who were
for the moment sobered sulllclently to
realize what was happening.
Murderer Had u Good stun.
The Dunmore police und Justice of
the Peace Scott were notified at once,
but not until after 8 o'clock was a de
scription of the murderer' flashed over
the wires from tho Brie and Wyoming
depot. Even then the description was
given wrong and the error was not rec
tified until nearly midnight. Sheriff
Fahey was given but iuvugrc Informa
tion of the crime shortly ufter it hap
pened and he did not 'receive even a
few details until several hours later.
In the, meanwhile County Dbtective
Shea could not be located and at an
early hour this morning tho murderer
had had a start of seven or eight hours.
Justice of the Peace Scott Impanelled
the following coroner's jury which
viewed Combort's body: I'. C. Lnngan,
Michael Flnncrty. Putrlck McHule,
Frank Pettorsall, Martin Gallagher and
Mr. Reardon. At 10.30 o'clock the re
mains were taken to the establishment
of Undertaker Letchworth to await an
Inquest by Coroner Kelley today. In
the dead man's pockets were found a
watch and chain, a small knife with
the blade opened and a little over one
dollar In coin. When he left home
earlier In the day he hud over Jl'O on his
person.
H Is a Tough Character,
Buskeen, the murderer, has often
been under arrest for fighting and petty
crime, and has been considered a very
tough character. He Is married and
childless. Combort's wife became quite
111 after being told of her huBbandt
violent death.
This Is the sixth murder among the
foreign element within the county'
within a few mouths. The most recent
killing was that done by Merloa, who
escaped to Italy after shooting down a
fellow countryman In Old Forge In day
light, and In the presence of a hundred
spectators. . Previously In Taylor a
man received a slush -from a knife, the
wound extending from the left shoulder
down and across the bowels to a point
over Die right hip, the cut almost dis
embowelling him. At Arcubald, two
murders occurred recently. Last win
ter, on Blair avenue, this city, a Po
lander named Tomulinus, while, en
gaged In a brawl, was killed by a blow
from an axe.

If some great festival was to be cele

which hung high and low on all walls, a
person would have thought that the

of a powerful monarch. Such ceaseless
universal activity and such enormous

Wilkes- Rarre, Pa Nov. 11. Ono of
the most brutal crimes on record In Lu
zerne county, and there has been many
or them within the past two months,
took place nt Hazlcton on Saturday.
The perpetrator of the deed Is Andrew
Juka, his wife, Annie, being the victim.
The scene where the tragedy occurred
Is a small house, one story high, located
on Harrison street, on the outskirts of
the city. From what can lie learned,
Juka left his wife several months ago,
and has since lived with a friend In
Eckley, a small mining town near
Ilazleton. His wife hUH, been living ever
since they parted with her daughter,
Mrs. Taru.
With a rope on which was a neatly
prepr.red noose and a stilleto, he called
at the residence of his son-in-law on
Friday night. On Saturday morning
he appeared to be rather pleasant and
waited until the son-in-law, Taru. had
gone to work. An hour later ho made
an attack upon his wife. Annie. He
put the rope around her neck while she
was alone In a room nnd managed to
get it around the colling Joist, but he
found the latter too low and his at
tempt to hung her failed. In the mean
time his wife fell upon her knees and
begged in a mnst piteous manner to
spare her life.
His daughter, the only other person
In the house, heard the cries and ran to
her mother's usslstancc, but this only
enraged the brute all the more, and ho
began to again attack his wife with the
sharp instrument.
The woman fought hard for her life,
but the demon drove the dagger Into
her elghf times in various parts of her
body. The woman finally sank ex
hausted to the floor and her daughter,
terror stricken, fled to the -nelgbors,
quite a distance away, for assistance.
Tho brute then fled from the house
und run up the mountain side and dis
appeared. Neighbors soon appeared at
the house, nnd the unfortunate- woman
was at once removed to a more com
fortable home. She Is still alivo to
night, but it is the opinion that she will
not recover.
Constables are on the murderer's
trail. Should he be brought back to
Hazleton he will. In all probability, be
lynched, as the Indignutiou is at lever
heat.

by men Who are honest enough to keep
their promises and brave enough to put
the principle into luw when the people
have given them power. Tho "Wilson
out was not a Democratic measure
either before it left the hands of Its
author, or after it had boon mangled
and distorted by the senate. I am sorry
for the fate that overtook William U
Wllswn last Tuesday, but I caniuil re
press the thought that he accomplished
his own defeat by listening to the coun
sels of othfrs less courageous than he,
and not daring to stand firmly for tho
pledges of his party.
Cleveland as a Ueformcr.
"Grover Cleveland was never n con
sistent tariff reformer. When he be
came president of tho United States It
took him three years to find a policy, and
then he ran away from It us soon as he
was caught. In 1SS7, when he wrote
that first famous mesuge, ho got so
soared about it that ten days later he
published an Interview lu the New
York Herald, taking the backbone out
of Xhc whole tiling: Then ho sent Gor
mnn and Scott to the St. Louis conven
tion In 1888 with a cut and dried plat
form that made the most miserable and
cowardly straddle on tho tariff question
ever Invented.
"Look how Cleveland acted In ISM.
William 3. Vilas went to Chicago as the
personal representative of this man
who pretended to be the great pioneer;
the John the Uaptlst of tariff reform.
And what did they try to do? They
tried to ram a protectionist essay down
the throats of self-respecting Demo
crats. They stoli a plank out of tho
Republican platform and wanted a
Democratic convention to indorse it.
Finally, when he was elected president
despite this apostesy to the principle of
his party, Cleveland deliberately sat on
the wings of every honest and able ad
vocate of low tariff, and forced the
wretched Wilson bill upon the party,
with all Its labyrinth of trouble.
"To this action of a Democratic presi
dent may be chiefly ascribed the de
moralised condition of the Democratic
party." ,
"Now, who ahull the Democrats
m. minute. In 1M6?"
"Uh, my Lord, man," said, "don't
talk about that. What I am afraid of
is the possible fact thut It may make
very litileulln'erence. A strong effort
will be made la the next Democratic
nationul convention to send the tariff
Issue ti the rear and raise the strange
banner of free silver. This may split
the party in a thousand pieces, or de
stroy It altogether." '
"Could the Democrats win upon the
Issue of free silver?"
"Never. It would be a fatal step
for tho party to take. Yet we must be
prepared to see the attempt made to
commit Democracy to that financial
heresy. Our only hope Is to stand by
our guns and stick to the demand for
constitutional tariff." 1
