more desirable place of resilience.
Carhondale or Scranton. The question
will lie decided by debate and the con
testants are the ntmiltt of the high
school of this city and those of Scran
ton. Several questions for debate were
forwarded to Scranton from this city
and among them was: "Unsolved, that
Hcranton is a more desirable .place of
residence than Carhondale."
This was the question finally decided
upon and the debate will probably bring
out many interesting facts concerning
the two places.
The Interest aroused In Scranton Is
very great, and Prof. L. O. Ijinge. prin
cipal of the Scranton school, has writ
ten asking that fifty seats be reserved
for Scranton on the night. During the
evening a programme of music will be
rendered. The proceeds of the enter

to the entire satisfaction of the people
In every office to which they have en
trusted him with, thereby showing
himself a faithful and diligent officer:
second, to represent a mining district
intelligently nnd discharge the duties
of a legislator In the most effectual
way. It is essential to have a knowledge
of the minutest details and lawschleh
govern the community. In such a per
son as William P. Giifllths dr we find
these qualifications. i

DR. MUKIMIY DEAD.
Ono of Wilkes-Bar re's Heat kaowa
Physicians Passes Away.
Dr. J. A. Murphy, one of the best
known physicians of the city, died at
Hoon on Saturday.
Dr. J. A. Murphy was born February
17. 1S42, and was the son of John A. Mur
phy and Nancy Clarkson Murphy, ot
Chanceford, York county. Pa, He re-
ceived a fine college preparatory ed
ucation, and taking a course in medi
cine graudated at the rniversltv or
Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, In 1868. He
practiced at Columbia. Pa., for one
year, and came to Wilkes-ltarre In 1SS9.
Opening an office here he early showed
the genius and skill which afterward
became a by word- among his fellow
physicians. He seemed fitted for his
profession in a remarkable degree and
the art of healing was to him a labor
of love. He was willing and anxious at
all times to sacrifice his own comfort
for that of suffering humanity, and
many are the instances noted where he
gave his services free to those in need.
He was located for a time near the
Gildersleeve homestead and afterward
opened an office on South Main street
near South. For a number of years he
remained there and afterward removed
to Franklin street.
His war record was something to tie
proud of, but yet the doctor's modesty
would never permit him to mention that
he served all through the Rebellion. He
enlisted In the One Hundred and Th'rd
Pennsylvania Volunteers, a regiment
organized principally from men in Al
legheny. Hutler. Clarion and Indiana
counties, and of which Theodore F. Leh
man was the first colonel. This regi
ment participated at Fair Oaks and
several other Important engagements.
He was a member of Conyngham Post,
Grand Army of the Republic.
Dr. Murphy Is survived by his widow
ami three daughters Louise. Mabel
and Catharine. He was a regular at
tendant at the Presbyterian church
and Dr. Hodge will officiate at the fu
neral services.
MONTROSE.
On Monday, April 13, April term of
court will convene. There are but few
cases of Importance on the calendar,
the most interesting one being that of
Kte McAuley vs. D. D. Depue. Mrs.
MoAnley has entered suit against Mr.
Depue, the owner and proprietor of the
Tarbell house, on thry distinct charges,
viz: Keeping a gambling house; sell
ing liquor to Intoxicated persons. It
is said that the case is the outcome of
the "venting of spleen," and double
decked In that the prosecutor Is s'rnnc- i
ly upheld by the Prohibition element
The proprietors of the hotels lu Alout-.
rose have for the past decade, had per
iodically, suits entered against them.
In the past these actions have been
settled out of court, and If dome rum
or Is to be believed has In some In
stances cost the hotelites considerable
and has been a source of enriching the
coffers of the Midlanltes. Mr. Depue Is
confident of his position and the out
come of the case is awaited with intense
Interest.

POLITICAL NOTES.
Politics here are red hot; of factions
well, the olllce seekers are praying to
be delivered "from battle, murder and
sudden death," and everybody who
knows even a thing or two can tell
you what Is on the slate. Yes! some
wiseacres could have told you a year
ago, and perhaps truthfully. This
year in Susquehanna county the fol
lowing offices will be presented to the
sufferage of the people. One congress
man. Fifteenth district; two representa
tives, register nnd recorder, sheriff, two
county commissioners and a county
auditor. Locally the present scene of
action is enhanced by the fact that two
Montrose men are looking towards Har
rlsburg with a yearning like unto the
parched traveler for a distant brook,
K. H. True and C. A. Van Worm
r nre both anxious for the nom
ination of representative. Van Worm
er has made his county canvas, so has
True. As they are both residents of
Montrose Van Wormer said to True,
"You name one delegate, I'll tak the
other. It will prevent discord and we
will both give Sam Wright, our del
gate, which will make a combination
of unity, peace and conoxrd." True
said, "nit," so Van is out with an open
letter to the voters and will endeavor
to secure both delegates. Sam Wright
will not refuse the nomination for reg
ister and recorder, and no one can
blame him. Everybody likes him and
the only excuse those who are "agin"
him have to offer is "machine." Tom
Kilrow. "from Great llend, sir," Is
called a machine man. In fact he don't
deny It. nnd the writer has a faint
suspicion that he. Is vastly proud of It.
There lives In Brooklyn a man named
Adams who, like the similar, yet singu
lar numbered name, of our common
progenitor, will undoubtedly be the
first man when representative Is bal
loted for. Probably Sam Wright's
heaviest competitor will he C. S. Page,
of New Milford. Mr. Page was his pre
decessor nnd received nearly as many
votes as Mr. Wright when they clashed
In the convention twelve years ago.
Of the minor offices little can be said
save that the first one up will be the
best one dresred. and he who trndes and
runs away will have an office here some
day. The attitude of the press In this
county regarding candidates Is decid
edly amusing, It observes the dll'er
ent hustling candidates with a glacial
stare and has a marble heart until the
convention Is over, then as a father
upon finding his lost child It fairly goes
Into paroxysms of Joy over the suc
cessful men, yes. that but faintly ex
presses It. lieforo the convention' Its
columns are open (supposedly for a con
sideration) to Mr. Pro Hono Publico,
An Old Voter, Mr. The People, Mr.
Fair Play and many other men Whose
composite nuture to candidates are
locked In the secret heart of every
editor. To a rank outside the local
situation might be compared with his
lory's famed Kilkenny cats hut what's
the use? But speaking of Representa
tive Ferdinand P, Whipple, of Biidge
water, even If he Is 88 years old, Is
most deserving of recognition at the
hands of the Republicans. He advo
cates many things and proposes not
only to fertilize politics but In addi
tion to kill all weeds. Here is his plat
form: "Retrenchment In expenditures
(a slight change In taxes) the repeal
of the Nefarious Free Banking law,
which Is now a legalized swindle on the
statute books with a heavy eknense to
the state; also opposed to Don Cameron
for TJnited Maps senator.".

Peruse These Pointers:
To obtain best results a refrigerator must be thoroughly
cleaned onse a week a difficult task ordinarily, hut so easy
with The National. You simply remove ice chamber, drip
pan aud waste pips, and there you are. (See cut.) An in
genious little device enables )'ou to remove waste pan and
drip cup from front, thus avoiding the old back breaking
method. These new points, coupled w'th a finely polished
oak case, carved panels and Roman gold trimmings make
this the simplest, most ornamental and economical refriger
ator on the market. Call or write for catalogue.

Did you ever stop to con
sider how many $'s worth of
meat, milk, butter, etc., you
throw away every summer for
want of a good Refrigerator,
to say nothing of the incon
venience and extra cost ot be
ing compelled to buy all per
ishable articles in driblets.
Now a really good one will
save enough of those $'sinone
season to pay for itself, and
that is the title we claim for
the New National.
