four prominent business men alighted.
They presented him with the following
resolutions:
Whereas, John R. Jones, esq., our
learned and courteous district attorney,
Is a candidate for renomlnatlon to that
responsible office, subject to the will o
tho npproachlng Republican county con
vention. He was nominated for district
attorney of Lackawanna county by tho
memorable Republican convention, as

after ono of tho most remarkable cam
paigns in tho political history of our

'If tho majority of tho electors of Laclt
rrnanna county shall see fit to cast their

That ho has faithfully kept his pledge;
that his administration of tho criminal
nffalrs of tho county has been a decided
success; that ho has devoted all his time
and best energies to the duties of his
roponsiblo office, all tho good people of
our county, Irrespective of partisanship,
Mill gladly attest.
From persons In all tho walks of llfo
all over this county, ho has received let
ters of commendation, urging him to
permit his name to bo presented to tho
Republican, county convention for tho dis
trict attorneyship, as a recognition of
his faithful public service; therefore be

1. That In John R. Jones tho public

proud. His official career has been char
acterized by honesty, Integrity, faith
fulness and manliness. Ho has done his
utmost to protect society from crime
and criminals. In every case tho burg

tions Is tho greatest honor of his life.
Ho Intends to have them engrossed nnd

HIGH SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.
Preliminary Questions Were Sub
milted to Prospective Pupils.
Professor Phillips and a corps of
teachers were busy all day yesterday
with applicants nt the preliminary ex
aminations for admission to the High
school. More than sixty children, who
did not possess superintendent's cer
tificates, took the examination, which
Included arithmetic, grammar, spelling,
geography and United States history,
for the applicants for the first year.
The questions were practical and con
tained no points which a child expect
ing to enter tho High school should not
be prepared to answer. The result nf

until next week.
HOW THE CITY GROWS.
Llttlo Drops ofWnter .llnko nn Ocean
ni'Cood Citizens.
"They're bound to come to usj they'vo
got to come," said Secretary Atherton,
of the board of trade, yesterday. He
held In his hand n letter from a civil
engineer from another city who had
"decided to locate in Seranton."
The engineer did not want much;
he wasn't looking for free ofllco rent In
tho board of trade building or a house
and lot on the hill, gratis. All he asked
wus for information as to a good real
denco part of tho city and a place where
he could conspicuously display his
shingle. He'd do the rest,
"They've got to come," continued
the man who fits his position like the
main spring of a great watch, "We get
scores of bucIi letters every week and
tho public seldom hears anything about
it. Every onco In a while a fellow
due to a lowerlnpr of the levy to 12 8-10
mills from 13 6-10 mills. Tho fact that
tho lopplnp oft of 8-10 of a mill from tho
levy decreases the resources only $7,
423.90 Indicates that there has been a
very decided Rrowth In tho way of Im
provements durlnR tho past year.
Tho amount which the school board
will raise from Us 14 mill levy Is $297,
001.30, or over 20,000,000 more than tho
city proposes to raise. It Is also an
Increase of $47,9J!!.31 over tho amount
raised laBt year by the school board.
Altogether, between city and school,
the taxpayers will bo called upon to
contribute $10,525.33 more than they did
last year.
Tho valuation of real and personal
property In 1890 was $18,974,403 and tlio
valuation of occupations $1,212,250, a
total valuation of $20,1S0.713. This year
the real and personal valuation Is $19,
030,133 and the occupation valuation
$1,317,110. Tho total valuation for 1897,
$20,877,213, Is an Increase over 1890 of
$1,317,110.
The revenue from dog taxes will
amount to the neat sum of $3,000.
The city assessors will begin today
on the triennial assessment. It must
be completed before Jan. 1. No use
will be made of the books of tho special
assessment made last spring, but a
bran new valuation will be placed on
nil property. The customary one-third
appraisement will prevail In arriving at
the value of real estate.
The following table shows tho amount
of taxes paid In each ward, and the
different valuations:

Secretary Atherton. And any one who

ELUDED THE OFFICER.,
Colored Woman Was Arrested, but
caped and Now Her Husband
Is in Jail.
Es-
Special Officer Frederick Mink, of Al
derman Wright's court, came home
from Cresco, Monroe county, yesterday
afternoon, but he wns minus a pris
oner who had actuated his mission last
Saturday. Mink had nn experience
which convinces him of the deep-dyed
character of Mrs. Frank Hemminger,
colored.
The woman was wanted for "larceny
by bailee," J. W. Guernsey, of this
city, preferring the charge. Mr. Guer
ency averred that Mrs. Hemminger
leased a piano from him and afterward
sold tho Instrument. For this reason
the arrest of the woman was Intrusted
to Special Officer Mink.
Ho left for Cresco Saturday and
drove out Into the country for a num
ber of miles to reach tho Hemminger
homestead. Ho reached there all right
nnd had no difficulty In makh- "he ar
rest. Mrs. Hemminger asked .. spe
cial favor to go upstairs and get her
Su day dress. "I don't want to appear
in town In this old Mother Hubbard,"
she said, beaming a smile. Her husband
went upstairs with her and Mink sat
in a chair and looked at the pictures
of plantation life hung upon the wall.
He became tired of this and cast his
eyes upon tho figures of the wall paper.
Weary of this and as a last resort he
went to the door and looked out upon
the smiling Monroe county harvest
lands. Tiring of this he looked about
for his prisoner.
Mrs. Hemminger had flown away.
Officer Mink made for the woods near
the house, but he was not familiar with
the circling paths and he eventually
gave up the hunt and returned to the
house. The woman wns not there.
Mink went before Justice Lewis, of
that locality, and had a warrant issued
for the arrest of tho husband, charg
ing him with Interfering with an offi
cer and aiding a prisoner to escape.
Hemminger was placed under $300 ball
and In default was committed to tho
Stroudshurg jail, Ofllcer Mink taking
him there. He afterward returned to
Cresco and continued his search for the
woman. The whole neighborhood
seemed to be her friends.
Mink spent Saturday afternoon, Sun
day, Monday and yesterday morning
looking for the woman and then he
came homo with empty handcuffs. The
warrant was left with officers at Cresco.
WAS HE KIDNAPPED ?
Llttlo Leslie Cooper in Company w
ith
n One-Armed .linn.
Leslie, 6-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Cooper, of 10J3 Capouse ave
nue, disappeared from his home be
tween C and 7 o'clock last evening. The
case was reported at police headquar
ters. A friend of the family says that to
ward 0 o'clock he saw tho boy in com
pany with a one-armed man going
toward tho North End. The parents
fear that tho little fellow has been kid
napped. The one-armed man Is described as
being about five feet six Inches in
height, wore grey clothings and a
brown felt hat. The boy was dressed
in a bluo Jeans waist and wore a
small cap. The North End police are
on the watch for the pair.

Mr. Qrllln, tho Democratic nominee
for clerk of the courts, publishes tho
following formal letter of declination:
Seranton, Pn.. Aug. 31, 1897.
When I sought tho nomination for clerk
of tho courts, I did It when tho pros
pects of Democratic victory were not ns
bright ns when I was nominated. I en
tered into tho contest with a determina
tion to win. My cnuso was so strongly
advocated by my many friends in every
section of tho county that my nomina
tion and election wero assured. I havo
no less hopes of tho election of tho gen
tleman whom tho commltteo In their
Judgment will select to fill my placo on
tho ticket.
Had I tho selection of a whole county
ticket, I could not name a stronger ticket
than that named by tho convention. It
has every clement of strength that ap
peared In sight within the county. I
wns prepared to pay my legitimate cam
paign expenses out of my own earnings,
I Intend to tako tho stump this fall In
tho Interest of tho wholo Democratic
ticket, and to nppeal to my friends to
support tho candidates as earnestly as It
I wero a candldato myself. All of which
goes to show that I did not decline tho
honor on account of lack of friends or
fear of results. My reasons are of a
private nnd personal nature, and my only
regret Is that I will not bo a partner In
tho Democratic victory of next Novem
ber that I will do all In my power to
bring about.
At present I am not In politics.
M. II. Griffin.
Tho other candidates have arranged
a meeting for next Monday nlgh't to
choose some one to fill the vacancy.
The choice of tho candidates will be
submitted to the new county commit
tee, which Is to be announced on that
uay. xno committee win meet soon
thereafter nnd of course adopt the sug
gestion of the candidates.
Who the choice will be Is not known
as yet, even by the candidates, or at
least they so declare. Hon. Frank R.
Coyne, of Old Forgo; John F. Flynn
and Thomas Law, of Archbald, are the
only ones publicly mentioned for the
place. Flynn or Law would take It,
but there Is some question of Coyne
accepting. He announced once that he
had been persuaded to changa his mind.
Superintendent George W. Beemer, of
the Hillside Home, sent the following
letter to The Tribune last night:
To my Republican friends In Lacka
wanna county who have so ably assisted
mo In my canvas for delegates for the
office of sheriff:
After mature deliberation and becauso
of circumstances over which I have no
control, I have decided to withdraw from
tho field as a candidate for sheriff nt tho
coming Republican convention. I tako
this opportunity to thank all my friends
for the kindness shown me In this pre
