WniK..:Will Try to Be Kc-electcd
Rending Clerk of House of Heprc
sentutivcv Other Political Note.
Hon. John R. Fair, the representa
tive from the First Legislative district,
yesterday announced his candidacy for
the speakership of the next State House
of Representatives. In speaking about
the matter to a Tribune reporter last
Mr. Fair said: "I am a candidate fur
the speakership and will remain in the
tight to the end.
He hns notilled a number of his
friends throughout the State of his can
didacy, and is prepared to make an
active canvass. Mr. Farr is the sixth
candidate who has up to this time an
nounced himself. The other camldates
are P. M. Little, or Huntington; itenry
lj. Iloyer, of Philadelphia; Ward R.
Hliss, of Delaware; Herman H. North,
of MvKean, und Uenjamln F. Focht, of
I nion. Mr. Farr has served three
terms In the legislature, and during
that time formed an extensive ac
quaintance among men prominent in
public life In all parts of the State.
Since the result of the presidential
election was determined a host of post
olllce candidates has sprung up In the
county. L'p in Carbondale ex-Postmaster
W. V. Yarrngton and Joseph Pow
derly are desirous of another term In
the post olllce, and E. D. Lathrope, of
the Leader, and W. D. F.vans, the well
known vocalist, are also willing to ac
cept the honor. O. W. Swlck, Thomas
Wulkey, Thomas Jay and John Nichol
son are willing to serve as postmaster
of Jermyn if requested to, and In May
Held John McCarthy would not run
away from a postmaster's commlsson.
Archbald. of course, has its share of
condidates. Thomas Cosgrove, who
handled the mails for several years,
thinks that on account of his experi
ence he Is the proper mnn for the place,
but Philip Rehle, Captain Hattenberg
and Hon. Michael Oilroy are Inclined to
the belief that they would make very
satisfactory postmasters, and will make
an effort to secure the coveted commis
sion. J. II. Schnerr Is a candidate for the
Wlnton post office, and John Steed,
William Nancarrow and Michael White
are rivals for the appointment at Jes
sup. Olyphant has an abundance of
candidates. Some of those mentioned
are David I'atton, James Pettigrew,
John Penmon, David R. Davis. James
Williams, Watkln Davis and Rev. Mr.
Evuns.
O. t,. Newton Is a candidate for the
position of oil inspector.
Prior to the recent election, the fol
lowing mimes appeared upon the Dem
ocratic county slate next fall: Sheriff,
Charles Schudt; treasurer. M. J. Kelly;
district attorney, George S. Horn. With
Lackawanna rolling up a Republican
majority of over 7.000 these gentlemen
may desire a change made In the make
up of the slate.
Attorney James Watklns will again
be a c andidate for reading clerk of the
house of representatves.
One of the enthusiastic gold Demo
crats of the city was rash enough to bet
a suit of clothes with a well-known Re
publican that Palmer would carry as
many States as Hryan. The fact that
the aforesaid gold Democrat is one of
the shrewdest business men In the city
makes the bet all the more remarkable.
Emil Rohn, the courteous clerk of
the orphan's court, would not object to
receiving the Republican nomination
for register of wills next fall.
JOHN ISHAM S OCTOROONS.
Present a High-Class Entertainment
of Variety and Melody.
One of the best and cleanest variety
attractions that It will be Scranton's
pleasure to witness this season Is "John
isham's Octoroons," which delighted a
full house at the Academy of Music
last night and will give two perform
ances today. Isham has gathered to
gether what seems to be the cream of
octoroon talent, has staged and cos
tumed the company with a lavish ex
penditure of money and gives what is
in some respects an artistic perform
ance. It was an agreeable disappointment
to many of last night's large audience
to witness an entertainment of the
specialty kind that was wholly free
from the slightest suggestion of the
vulgar, either in action or words. Much
of it, the costuming and stage settings
bordered on the artistic, and the work
of the artists was thoroughly In keep
ing with their surroundings.
The first act presents the entire com
pany In "The Rlackvllle Derby," a far
cial skit that abounds in merriment,
dialogue, song and dancing and em
braces Individual numbers. The sec
ond part of the entertainment presents
Madah Hyer, who, the management
claims. Is the only colored soprano who
sings second. high above G. She cer
tainly exhibited a remarkable range
and a voice that has been highly nur
tured. Defore the beginning of the

Scranton Dead Liners Profit by a
Compromise Verdict.
The four members of the Scranton
"dead line gang" who have been on
trial at Wllkes-Rarre, charged with
burglarizing stores In Plttston In Oc
tober, were sentenced yesterday after
noon to three years and ten months In
the penitentiury and to pay a tine of
$50 each.
The Jury returned a verdict that the
culprits were guilty of larceny. It was
a compromise verdict, and before ad
ministering the maximum sentence
Judge Rcnnett criticised the Jury for
its leniency.
CITY WON FOUR CASES.
Garfield Avenue Grading Suits Brought
to a Termination-Verdict Not Reached
in Bartbold-Pritcbard Case.
The city won four suts which It con
tested In common pleas court yester
day against property holders who re
fused to pay for the grading of Gar
Held avenue, between Lafayette and
Pettlbone streets.
The city graded the street In April,
1892. The prefatory legislation looking
to the Improvement specified that the
viewers should make the assessment
according to benefits. The final ordi
nance under which the work was done
provided that the foot front rule should
prevail. City Solicitor Tarrey objected
to the Introducton of the resolutions
which prefaced the ordinance on the
grounds that the ordinance superseded
all the minor preliminary measures and
consequently, was alone relevant.
Judge Edwards sustained his objec
tion, and as the defense was based en
tirely on the provisions of the resolu
tions, the attorneys for the property
holders, It. A. Siimmermnn and C. L.
Hawley, permitted a verdict for the
plaintiffs with the intention of arguing
against the objection before a full
bench. Judge Edwards explained that
he had sustained the objection In order
to have it argued before a full bench,
as has been the custom in passing on
knotty points of municipal law. Abel
Davis was the defendant n the test
case. The defendants In the three cases
which hinged upon It were Henry
Jacobs, William Roberts and David
Williams. The verdict was for $14 and
costs.
The case of Edwards and Rerthold
against Martha Prltchard was gven to
the jury at 2 o'clock, and at adjourn
ment no verdict had been reached. The
case was tried before Judge Gunster at
a former term, and a verdict was ren
dered in favor of the plaintiffs. A new
trial was granted on the grounds that
there wus a discrepancy between the
deposition and the evidence. The bone
of contention Is a $200 judgment note
which Mrs. Prltchard gave to the plain
tiffs. She claims it is not binding, as it
was to pay her husband's store bill. The
storekeepers allege that It was given
by her for a store bill which she con
tracted. The week's list was cleared at 3
o'clock and the Jury discharged with
the thanks of the court. Over twenty
cases in all were disposed of.
THREE BURGLAR TRAMPS.
Heat and Seriously Ilnrt Hotclmnn
lllnkcly, of Duryen.
Three tramps beat and seriously In
jured George Hlakely, a Duryea hotel
keeper, yesterday. The tramps ran
away when assistance came.
One of the culprits, who describes
himself as John McVarle, of South
Plalnfleld, N. J., was captured. It Is
believed they were in Duryea for the
purpose of burglary.
A Misstatement Corrected by llnck,
Whitmore Ac Co.
Yesterday morning's edition of the
Republican contained, on page 5, the
following head-line: "Professor Greg
ory Proprietor of All Colleges In the
County." The Scranton JJusiness Col
lege, now the largest and most success
ful school of the kind In the state,
was organized by us, and Is still owned
by us. 'Tis true that the above named
gentleman, acting lor another busi
ness college man quite well known
hereabouts, asked us on Sept. 25, 1895,
to name a price for the Scranton Busi
ness college. He was promptly In
formed that no price he or any other
man could offer would induce us to
sell.
For reasons quite well known to the
business public, the ownership of cer
tain other colleges changes quite often,
but we want it distinctly understood
that the Scranton llusiness college will
continue to lie owned and conducted by
Yours trulv.
