BASE BALL TEAM'S RETURN.
They Will Be Uivra a Beaeat
on June I.
There la still a base ball team repre
senting this city despite the many ru
mors which have been in the air for the
. last few days, and In spite of all that
has been done and said by the other
teams in the league and the newspapers
of other places. The fine (fames which
Carbondule has been playing- have made
the other teams greon with envy and
they are only too glad to be able to say
anything aguinst us.
Among other things it was reported
that McQuaid has been sold to Scran
ton, but this proved to be false. The
managements could not agree upon the
terms or he would undoubtedly be now
wearing a Srrunton uniform.
Th crisis in our base ball affair
terns to be nearly over, though things
are not yet as bright as we would wish
to see them. It seemB that the expense
of the team could be cut down in some
manner, as will probably be done.
The club bn their return home will
be given a rousing benefit and It is ex
pected that this will bring In enough
money to tide over the affairs. If we
carry a base ball team through this sea---on
we will hereafter be assured a
place in the league, if the sharp play
ing l also kept up It means that we will
have the pennant at the end of the sea
son also.
The directors of the base ball associa
tion have prepared a circular which la
being sent out among the public. In
closed in the circular is a ticket and
the receiver la asked to pay such a
price for the ticket as he feels able to
give. These tickets will be used Instead
of the usual ones and are good If coun
tersigned at Coogans Brothers, No. 24
North Main street. The directors prom
ise to keep the club the rest of the
season If the benefit is a success.
Now is the time for the public to show
whether they appreciate the efforts of
the association to have a team repre
senting this city. H eretofore the ex
penses have- been upon the shoulders
of a few, Individuals who have sunk
guite a sum of money In the game. IjA
the public open their purses and we
are assured of a winning team at the
end of the season.
TO THE (OLNTY JAIL
The Uuudatt Street Burglars Mill
Spend a Term Behind the Bars.
The ImiRlars who entered the hotel
of Gabriel Pugllano on Dundaff street,
Sunday night, wer given a herlnt? be
fore Alderman Jones which resulted lu
that worthy pair being escorted to
Hcranton yesterday by Chief McVn
drew. Neither men could furnish the
ball for their appearance.
Both men were badlly soared. Coopsr
was unuble to tell a straight story and
constantly contradicted himself. Cel
lott denied having anything to do with
the robbery and quite won over some o?
the nudit-nce by his story. Upon Coops r
being heard again this sympathy w.is
soon gone. He said some time ago Cel
lotte had come to him with a revol
ver which he said he wanted to sell
tnd asked Cooper to keep It for htm.
This was the revolver taken from the
bar room. Cooper said he had fre
quently seen Cellotte take rney from
the register and put It In his pocket.
- By the time the hearing was over It
was clearly shown that both partlo
were guilty, Cellote being the Instiga
tor In the last attempt. It was also
Bhown that Cellatte had been syste
matically robbing his employer for the
last year and had made off with quite
large sum of money during the tlm?.
WRECK AT FREIQHT HOUSE.
A Couple of Heavy Cars tie! Away on
a Switch.
There was a lereflc crash heard on
Dundaff street Monday afternoon and
when people hurried to see the cause
of the noise they saw what had a min
ute before been a large box car but
which now had little resemblance to it.
' A trln of heavy ears were being
dropped down the switch to the freight
hctise late in the afternoon; when a
coupling pin broke letting two cars
loose. The grade here is quite steer)
and th;y came down with a good mo

MRS. HUNTER DEAD.
Old Age the Principal Cause of Her
Demise.
' At her homo on Brook street yester
day morning at 3 o'clock occurred the
death of Mrs. Rebecca Hunter. The

spent in this city, where she has made
many friends.

Am Italian Diet Under Peculiar Cir

Italian residing on Belmont street,
.which occurred yesterday, was quite
peculiar, as during his short Illness he
had completely lost all power of
speech.
He was engaged as a laborer, and
while at work Saturday was taken so
ill that It was necessary to take him
.home. Ever since this sudden illness
all power of speech has left him. He
tried hard to articulate, but all at
tempts were In vain. He appeared to
be suffering great pain, but was un
able to make known the cause. The
funeral will take place this afternoon.

CURES DYSPEPSIA.
A New Preparatiea. Pleasant. Harmless, Sim
ple, Prepared Salely iee Weak Digest!.
A new remedy for dyspepsia and In
digestion, very highly recommended by
Dr. Harland and Dr. Jennison and
other prominent physicians. Is a com
bination In tablet form of vegetable and
fruit essences, pure aseptic pepsin and
Golden Seal. One of these tablets
should be dissolved In the mouth after
each meal and according to Dr. Jenni
son the effect seems to be that the food
is perfectly and promptly digested, be
fore it has time to sour and ferment,
which causes all the mischief.
So popular have these tablets become
with people who have any form of in
digestion that they are now sold by
druggists everywhere under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
They are not a secret patent medi
cine, but ns related above, contain
vegetable and fruit essence, pepsin and
Golden Seul In a form absolutely safe
and pleasant to take.
A few of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
should be carried In the pocket and
taken after meals and whenever there
is any pain or discomfort In the stom
ach. They cure sour stomach, heart
burn, bloating, gas, palpitation and all
symptoms arising from disordered di
gestion. Will cure any stomach trouble
except cancer of stomach. All drug
gists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
50 cents for full sized package, or sent
prepaid by mail from Stuart Co., Mar
shall, Mich.
Delaware and Hudson collieries, which
for the last mouth have been working
half-time. It Is to the effect that be
ginning today the mines will go on
three-quarter time. The increase of
time in the mines means longer hours

cause of much happiness today.

with success. The day Is very unfa

WILKES-BARRE.
HILLMAN FOR CONGRESS.
There Is Talk of Another Eatry lit the
Race for the Soccesaorshlp to
Mr. LelscarlDf.
The Republican leaders of Luserne
politics are on pins and needles. The
declination of Leisenrlng to run again
was like a bombshell thrown into the
camp. It knocked many plans and
calculations into smithereens. Men
who hnd been spending time and money
In the effort to secure recognition for
places on the county ticket, were over
whelmed with surprise at Leisenrlng'
action, it made a big difference with
their schemes. Feeling assured that
the congressman would succeed him
self and that the Fourth district could
not lay claim to much else than a single
county office besldes.they hustled about
for delegates. These were meii resid
ing in this city. Now that the con
gressman 1 likely to be a Wilkes
Barrean. of course the chances for
nominating a senator, or county treas
urer, or other Important office from
here are very materially lessened.
There never was quite so much excite
ment as there Is at present.
On the start It was generally be
lieved that Halsey. of White Haven,
would loom up as the most formidable
congress nominee. But after think
ing over the matter he came out de
clining to make a riffle for the place.
Then many eye were turned toward
ex-Senator Morgan B. Williams, who
pitted himself against Leisenrlng two
years ago. Mr. Williams seemed to
be the natural legatee, and It Is pretty
well understood that If he will declare
himself a candidate that he will have
a walkover. The Record haa baen de
manding for several days that the sena
tor break the silence that seals hts Hps
and tell the people what he Intends do
ing. But Mr. Williams winks his left
eye and maintains hts sphinx-like si
lence. He told a frlefd this week that
he would declare himself the latter
part of this, or the early part of next
week. In the meantime a half dozen
ambitious men are on tenter hooks,
swearing mad, because the senator
winks and says nothing.
OTHER CANDIDATES.
While the leaders are waiting for
Williams to oren his lips, other men
are popping up for the big nomination.
Ex-Representative C. D. Foster, who a
few years ago beat Williams In the
congress convention and was subse
quently beaten by Hlnes In the tight
for an election, says that he would con
sider it a high honor to be named again.
This declaration, more than anything
else, would inspire Mr. Williams to en
ter the race, as he has a grudge
against Mr. Foster which, somehow,
has not been settled yet. The only
reason why Mr. Williams delay, It Is
said by his friends, is Involved In a
domestic antipathy against it, his phy
sicians declaring that he is not physic
ully able to assume the labor and with
stand the excitements of a political
campaign. But they said the same
thing two years ago and yet the gen
tleman ended one of the hottest
fights on record. It was brief, but he
passed safely through.
It Is well known that Leisenrlng
wished to see Mr. Halsey get the nomi
nation, and though the latter has
turned away from It, Jack McCarty,
Lelsenrlng's private secretory, was In
town on Monday pleading with Hal
sey to recall his letter declining to
run. It Is understood that Halsey
couldn't be won over.
The name of cx-Attcf.ney General
Palmer was floated for the first time
Tuueday, although It has been mention
ed quietly In certain Influential quarters.
There Is no questioning the fact that
Mr. Palmer would make a brilliant
representative, but his independent
spirit and bold and aggressive nature
handicap his popularity, and it would
take a big pile of money to nominate
him, which Mr. Palmer would decline
to put up In a preliminary skirmish.
If nominated, he'd open his purse and
his contribution would unquestionably
be generous. It Is not probable thai
his name will come before the conven
tion. A NEW SUGGESTION.
There is one gentleman in this city
whose name Is on the hps of many, but
which has not yet got into the news
papers.lt is that of m. Bauer HUlman,
a retired coal operator, a man of
wealth and long experience and who
could give his entire time to congres
sional duties If called upon to discharge
them. Mr. Hillman has been abroad,
too, and his extensive travels have aug
mented his general fund of knowledge
and acquainted him with the systems
and laws of other governments beside
his own. Some years ago Mr. Hill
man lost a promising son, and as a
memorial, erected a magnificent build
ing to be used for the purpose ot an
academy. It was a gift that has al
ready proved Its value, and will be In
creased with the passage of time. A
man of distinguished personal appear
ance, quiet and unassuming In his
ways, Mr. Hillman wouiu ue sure to at
tract attention at Washington and
would undoubtedly wield much Influ
ence. While he would not shine as an
orator, there can be no question as to
his power In the committee room,
where, after all, congressional genius
is most needed. Whether Mr. Hlu
man would be willing to enter the race
for congress or not Is not known. It is
It is often difficult to convince peo
ple their blood is impure, until dread
ful carbuncles, abscesses, boils, scrof
ula or salt tlieum, are painful proof of
the fact. It is wisdom now, or when
ever there is any indication of
Dorm pure
blood, to take Hood's Sarsuporilla, and
prevent such eruptions and suffering.
"I had a dreadful carbuncle abscess,
red, fiery, fierce and sore. The doctor at
tended me over seven weeks. When the
abscess broke, the pains were terrible, and
I thought I should not live through it. I
heard and read so much about Hood's
Sarsaparilla, that I decided to take it, and
my husband, who was suffering with
boils, took it also. It soon purified our
ISIood
built me up and restored my health so
that, although the doctor said I would
not be able to work hard, I have since
done the work for 20 people. Hood's Bar

Hi Owa Account of a .Memorable
Hide in the Yosemite.
From Recollections of Forty Years.
We returned to the stage station and
again mounted our horses and mules
for the perilous adventure of a descent
into the Yosemite valley. It so hap
pened that Mr. Bell, the keeper of the
station, was a former resident of Rell
vllle, In Richland county, Ohio, In which
1 live. He knew me well, uud his wife
1 knew as the daughter of a leading
farmer of that county. 1 thought 1
might utilize this acquaintance by ask
ing him to see that I was well mounted
to descend to the valley. Much to my
surptlse a spirited horse, well uc
coutered, wa brought out for Col
onel Scott, and a shaggy short
legged mule, with a California
saddle and a common but stout
bridle, was brought out for me. I felt
that Bell had disregarded the obliga
tion of "auld acqualnance," but said
nothing.
My mount started at the heels of the
cavalcade In a steady walk, but I no
ticed he was sure-footed, and that, at
the end of two or three weary hours, he
had passed most of the party and soon
after was close In the wake of Col.
Scott. In the meantime, I had noticed
that I was the subject of merriment.
My feet were In close proximity to the
ground. The length of my legs was out
of proportion to that of the legs of the
mule. When he came to descend the
mountain, however, at an angle of near
ly forty-five degrees, on a very narrow
path, I found that my mule could turn
the bends of the track, and, bv a pe
culiar gathering of his feet, could slide
down difficult places, while Col. Scott,
on his already jaded horse, was trou
bled and worried. He dismounted when
the path widened and asked me to go
ahead. He then followed me, leading
his horse. After that, t made up my
mind that my Richland county friend
had not failed me In my hour of need.
As for ho scenery through which we
were passing, no language can describe
it. We saw. 4,000 feet below, a beauti
ful little valley about half a mile wide
at the widest part, with what appeared
to be a very small stream dancing along
from side to side of the valley, nnd sur
rounded by precipitous mountains In
every direction. The eye and mind can
now vividly recall the picture of the
scene then around me. My mule hud
my confidence, but I feared lest some
fatal mishup knight befall some of my
companions.
