use of the whole affair was a

time past Eckert had been nog

i flaore than once Bittenbender had
led hla attention to h negligence,
itaf Eckert that If he did not do tho
wk properly the fcoard would b

Mftad Eckert had conceived the idea
tat Bittenbender was hounding him
at trying to Influence th other mem-
of the board to have him dis-
eaarstd.
A couple of weeks ago Eckert had
aid to a friend. "If Bittenbender don't
let ate alone, he'll be sorry for It." On
Saturday morning at t o'clock Bitten
bender. accompanied by another school
dimeter, George Graver, drove to the
klgk ecteoi to Inspect some work which
Eckert ahould have done. The janitor
wi not there, so they drove to his
bona.
Boker walked -ont at their call and
Bl trenbander cried :
"Sea herevCbe, fcow la It you are not
Jt the aejfaool bouse attending to the
work you are supposed to do. We pay
yon to do that work and we expect
yon to look after It." To this Eckert
replied: "All right Fred; Til go down
and attend to It right away." Bitten
bender and Qraver, satisfied everything
was all right, left Eckert's and went
down town. Eckert appeared to be in
al usual good humor at this time.
At about noon the men met again.
Bittenbender was In his carriage with
up Main street they saw
E overt and he caned to them: "See
her Fred. I want to see you a minute."
Blttepdbender said, "All right. Abe."
and, drew up his horse alonp the walk.
Eckert said, "From the way you talked
to me this morning It begin to look
as If you had a grudge against me.
What do you mean by talking to me
the way you did?'
I Bittenbender answered: "You are
paid to look after the work and we ex
pect you to do It If you don't like to
do the work you bad better get out and
let tome one else do It"
Hardly fcad the last word left his
mouth when Eckert sprang backward
front the carriage, drew a revolver and,
taking deliberate aim, fired. The bullet
entered Btttenbender's right eye and
caused instant death. The body plunged
forward and) fell over the wheel of the
carriage at tbe fast of the murderer,

SENATOR QUAY IX TOWN.
II Ppeads th Afteraooa at the Valley
House.
Senator Quay reached here yesterday
shortly after dinner and was driven, to
the Wyoming Valley house. He was ac
companied by ex-l'r.tted States Mar
shal Harrah and a few other of his ad
herents. After dinner he was called
upon by a number of Republicans, some
of whom were personal adherents while
others who paid thi'lr respects are op
posed to him l.t his present contest.
Among those who had cor.rerer.ces with
him were ex-Cor.grissinan Shonk and
ex-Postmaster Armttrons. of Plym

to those who come !: contact with him.
He Is lighting to retain hi hold on the
leadership of the party In riwnsylva-

and finding: a man named William
Klinger, of Nantlcoke, thre, at once
raised a fuse. He struck Alice in the
face and knocked her down end then
turned on Klinger, but that young man
was blowing vigorously on a police
whtotle and MoGulre tried to escape.
Before he could do so he was arrested
and locked up. The woman appeared
against him, with a much damaged
countenance. MoGulre, In his defense.

sent to Jail.
Several Arabians who had fought
earlier In the week were next. Hike
John had sworn out a warrant against
Mike and Ellas Saba for threatening
hla life. The dfendunts were repre
sented by Attorney E. A. Lynch, but
the mayor decided it would be safer to
put Mike Saba, under $300 bail and John
Saba under $M0 bail for their appear
ance at court.
Edward La.hr was arrested yesterday
morning for stealing a briar pipe from
Majt RMmeburgT's tore. on South

pipes he snatched one and ran. Rhine
burger and hla family followed shout
ing thief. Lahr was captured at South
street and sent to jail.
John Fainter was up for assaulting
hi mother and sister, by striking them
in the face. The evidence showed him
to be a bid mm, end he was commit
ted to Jail. While the 'squire was writ
ing out the commitment, however,
Painter broke away from Constable
Lyona, and he was not caught.
Peter Dougherty is another man
whom the mayor would like to eee. He
bid some trouble with Austin Tllley on
Saturday night, and In the scrap that
followed, Dougherty hit RUf-y with a
cane, nearly fracturing the skull. Then
he escaped and Is still at Urge.
Edward McOuiggaro Is In Jail for
pointing' a nhotgun losded with buck
ehfrt at Mr. Oecrg! Baiirs. Had a by

AN INAPT PRAYER.
A minister's caret? slip during a fune
ral service Is reported by 4ha Indianapolis
Journal. It was th funeral of a woman
who left a tiiutband and family and natur
ally the minister's sympathies wore
aroused. H prayed for the mourners In
dividually and collectively, for each child
and for the husband especially, but a look
of horror spread over the face of th
audience when he said: "And now, O
Lord, we pray thee to raise up somo one
who shall take this dear sister's plae to
her husband and In th family circle."
Then, evidently, th force of his own
words struck him, and he gav an apolo
getic cough and went on: "Ahem, that Is
to say, rata up some, on who shall take
her place In the community and la church
work." But some of hi hearer war
unkind enough to aocus him of praying
for m second wlf for the widower.

tho way to the gate offered an Insult to
tho oflleer at which he replied with a

Trrv struck Metcalf III the face. The
officer then attempted to put Terry
under arrest, when Terry armed him
self with atones and was about to
strike the i'Weer a second time when
Chief of Police Brando, of Exeter bor
ough, appeared on the scene, and, draw
ing his revolver, shot at Terry. At tnis
Terry, forgotten by his friends, took
to his heals, hotly pursued by Brando
and Metcalf. The chlet fired twice
more, each time calling to Terry to
halt, which he did. He was taken be
fore Burgess MoCawlrv. who fined him
only the costs, this being his first of
fence. The Champions won another victory
from the Wllkes-Barre team Saturday
by a score of 28 to 9 at the Luzerne
County Fair association grounds, West
Plttston. The Brewery Hills started
with a strung game, which they held
until the third inning, when the rooters
bunched their tilts for four two baggers
and five runs. Thla discouraged the
visitors who apparently let the game
go as It pleased. The gam became
very tiresome and uninteresting, as
Plttston did nothing but sweep up the
Brewery Hills. The poor playing of the
Wllkes-Barre team is attributed to the
statement that only four of their play
ers were present, the other five ibelng
unable to attend. At the eleventh hour
Captain Hoater, of the team, was no
tified, and not wishing to disappoint
his Plttston friends, enlisted any who
would assist him. -

Our new store, at 124-126
Wyoming avenue, formerly
occupied by Gorman's Grand
Depot, and which will be
known as THE LEADER,
will be opened to the public
next Saturday morning, July
13.
We have purchased the en
tire stock of Mr. Gorman, and
while that would be considered
plenty for an ordinary dry
goods store, it was not near
large enough nor varied
enough for THE LEADER.
Vre went to New York, and
as it was practically the end
of the dry goods season theie
all the stores taking stock
and not doing any more busi
ness the jobbers and manu
facturers were glad enough to
sell us an immense stock at a
good deal lower figure than
even the largest of the large
New York stores got their
stock for earlier in the season.
We got these goods so cheap,
in fact, that in almost every
instance we cau afford to sell
goods for less money than the
average firm bought theirs for
a couple of months earlier.
We are going to do our best
to give the people of Scranton
and vicinity a really first-class
dry goods, fancy goods and
millinery establishment our
bnsiness experience has all
been with the large New York
houses, and we propose to
transact our business upon
broad-guaged Metropolitan
principles.
Politeness is a great thing
in the dry goods business
in fact the people demand it
and must have it, and will not
patronize a store whose em
ployes are not obliging and
painstaking, Our employes
will be found to be highly effi
cient and polite we will not
have any who are not. Any
one who visits our store,
whether as customers or mere
ly to look around and see
what kind of a store we have,
will be assured of marked at
tention on the part of every
one of our employes. This
is a point we will insist on.
In short, we are going to
have a strictly modern dry
goods store, with new goods,
new methods, new ideas ana
painstaking with all our cus
tomers. In consequence of the late
nuss of the Hcuson our mil.
lincry stock will not be
complete until fall. What
ever stock of Htitn mer mil.
Ilncry we now have on
hand will he sold at 25
cents on the dollar.
Our new store, THE
LEADER, will be opened to
the public on next Saturday
morning, July 13.
The general public is cor
dially invited to attend and
inspect our mammoth stock.
