Special to Tho Tribune,
Plttston, Oct. 17. Tho Plttston Item,
a morning paper published hero by the
Item Publishing company, suspended
operations yesterday morning.
Tho Item was started September 9,
1S:).i, ns an afternoon paper. Tho com
pany was composed of Joseph H. An
drews, George Wllrwr, F. P. Cospcr,
William Devanncy, Professor Robert
Shiel and H. T. Gregory. Mr. Andrews
wns business manngcr and Mr. Wllncr,
editor. Soon after the paper was start
ed tho partners commenced iiuarrellng
among themselves.
In December of tho same year the
first break-up In the firm occurred and
Mr. Devanncy, who had charge of tho
circulation department, left the firm.
Upon the opening of tho presidential
campaign, Editor Wllner wrote un edi
torial upholding the Bryan Issues. The
editorial, which was against the prin
ciples of the paper, created consider
able talk nnd Manager Andrews, who
Is a prominent Republican, enmo in
for considerable nbuso. As a. result of
tho trouble Mr. Wllner's Interest was
purchased by Mr. Andrews. In a few
months afterwards Mr. Cospcr desired
to dlsposis of his interest in tho com
pany. He made a proposition to dis
pose of his slvaro for JJ.400. Several
payni"nts were made on tho settlement
but they finally stopped. During the
middle of tho present year Mr. Cospcr
entered an execution against tho busi
ness for -11,400 nnd Deputy Sheriff Wil
liams levied on the olllco and con
tents. RUMORS OF SUSPENSION.
For several months past rumors were
rife on tli'o streets that the Item was
about to suspend publication. Manag
er Andrews, however, continued to run
tho business. During the past two
weeks Mr. Andrews resolved to discon
tinue publication and late Friday af
ternoon decided that Saturday morn
ing's Isrftio would bo the last.
In the meantime Professor Sliiol, one
of the remaining members of til llrm,
heard of the nctlon to be taken by
Mr. Andrews, without consulting the
other members of tho firm, nnd decided
to Interfere and If possible stop tlw
publication of the farewell article. He
entered the office and was shown a
proof of tho article. It did not meet his
approval. Manager Andrews, In th:.
courso of the article, took occasion to
place the blame of tho trouble on the
other persons who originally composed
the company. He thanked the friends
of the It-m for their past assistance
and forgave Its enemies.
It bcame apparent soon after Profes
sor Shlel had read the article that
there would be trouble.
While the forms wisre being carried
from tho composing room to the press
the professor made several efforts to
lift the type out of the form. This he
failed to accomplish. After two hun
dred papers had 'eun printed Professor
Shlel took the papers outside and ap
plied a lighted match. Manager An
drews then warned the dissenting
member of tho company to desist.
Professor Shl-1 refused and made an
other effort to secure more papers.
SHOVED IN A HARREL OF INK.
Manager Andrews objected and tho
prof'ssor was shoved iu a barrel of
Ink. Things assumed a serious nature
at that time and It looked as if tho
renders of the Item would be without
th'olr favorite paper. After some dllll
culty, however, sufficient papers were
scriu'd to supply the subscribers and
the carriers v. ere sent out on their re
spective routes.
The former members of tho firm say
they Intend to enter suit against Mr.
Andrews for damages as they claim
that th? article published in the last is
sue of tho paper was derogatory to
them. It Is also expected that the re
maining members of the firm will see
whether or not Mr. Andrews acted cor
rectly In suspending publication with
out consulting their wishes.
The Item was changed to a morning
paper on April 5 of the present year
and seemed to be making money for tho
members of the firm. From present
Indication, It Is likely that In a few
days another paper will be started In
the city, and that it will probably up
hold the Democratic principles.

BLEEDING PILES.
And nil other forms of this common
and often dangerous disease readily
cured without pain Inconvenience.
Thousands of men and women nro
aflllcted with some sort of piles, with
out cither knowing the exact uaturo
of the trouble, or knowing It, are care
less enough to allow It to run with
out taking tho simple means offered
for a radical cure.
Tho failure of salves and ointments
to permanently euro piles has led many
to believe the only euro to be a surgical
operation.
Surgical operations nre dangerous to
life and moreover not often entirely
successful and nt this time aro no
longer used by tho best physicians or
recommended by them.
Tho safest and surest way to cure
any enso of piles, whether blind,
bleeding or protruding, Is to use the
Pyramid Pile cure, composed of heal
ing vegetables oils, and absolutely free
from mineral poisons and oplntes The
following letter from a Pittsburg
gentleman, a severe sufferer from
bleeding piles, gives some Idea of the
prompt, effectual character of the pile
cure. He writes:
I take pleasure In writing these few
lines to let you know that I did not
sleep for three months except for a
short time each night because of a bad
case of bleeding piles. I was down in
bed nnd the doctors did me no good.
A good brother told me of the Pyramid
Pile Cure and I bought from my drug
gist three fifty cents boxes. They
cured me and I will soon be able to go
to my work again.
William Handschu,
16 St., Cotton Alley, below Butter St.,
Pittsburg, Pa.
Tho Fyramld Pile Cure Is not only
the safest nnd surest remedy for piles,
but Is the best known and most popu
lar. Every physician and druggist In
the country knows it and what it will
do.
Send for little book on cause nnd cure
of piles, describing all forms of pllC3
and tho proper treatment.
Tho Pyramid can be found at all
drug stores at CO cents per package.
BUNCOERS ABROAD : BEWARE !
It is the trick cf tho Hryanlzed De
mocracy this fall to make falso
charges against Republican methods,
ralso a big dust, hire Republican mal
contents to organize Republican bolts
and then coax Individual Republicans
to desert their party on tho represen
tation that "party ties needn't count
for anything In an off year." By this
trick, If it shall work, the Bryanltes
will get a foothold for a hopeful fight
in national campaigns, and mako Just
so much moro trouble for MaKinley,
tho Republican congress and the cause
of pound irorcy.
You now see through this trick. Arc
you going to let It work?
TIIK FIRST GOVERNORS.
.More Honor in Being tho First Than
the Lust Governor ofa State.
From the New York Sun.
The first covernor of the state of
New York was George Clinton, who,
besides having been a general In the
Revolutionary war, was vice-president
of the United States after having been
governor. He was a native of Orange
county. The first governor of Massa
chusetts was John Hancock, who was
president of the Continental congress,
and as such first signer of the Declara
tion of Independence. Every American
schoolboy (and some American school
girls, too) Is familiar with the dashing
signature of John Hancock, and It has
been a model for oillclal signatures for
many years. John Hancock lived nnd
died In the town of Quincy. The first
governor of Virginia was Patrick
Henry, and if there be any elocution
ist In the United States who Is un
familiar with the quotation from Hen
ry's speech, "Give me liberty or give me
death," he should read up the speech
now that he knows that Henry, be
sides being an orator, was ns well the
first governor of the Old Dominion,
which was the chief state in population
and resources in the American Union
when the Revolutionary war broke out.
The first covernor of Mnrvlnml !,..
John E. Howard of the Baltimore How
ard family, afterward United States
senator. Tho first covernor- nf Ton.
nessee was John Sevier, whose achieve
ments are perpetuated In geographical
names all through Tennessee.
The first covernor of KW Jvmnv ,,..
William Livingston and of South Caro.
una John Rutledge, who was after
ward an associate Indue nnrl tlnnli,.
chief Justice of the Supreme court of
the United States. The first governor
of Ohio was Edward Tiffin, after whom
the town of Tiflln Is called. The first
governor of Maine was William King,
of Vermont Thomas Chittenden, and of
Kentucky Isaae Shelby. The last was
a Revolutionary ofllcer during the war
and a native of Maryland. The first
governor or Louisiana was William C.
Claiborne and of Pennsylvania Thomas
Mifflin. The latter had been a major
general in the Revolutionary war
(many of the early American governors
were soldiers), and he was afterward
president of the Continental congress.
Many of the early American governors
had what would be called In these days
odd names. The first governor of Illi
nois, though not otherwise distin
guished, was named Shadrach Bond.
The first governor of New Hampshire
was Mesheck Weare. Tho first gov
ernor of Alabama was William Bibb,
and Ansel Brlggs was the first gover
nor of Iowa. Richard Caswell was the
first governor of North Carolina. He
was a member of tho North Carolina
assembly, speaker of the North Caro
lina house of commons, treasurer of
the state, colonel of the first regiment
of minute men, and the number of
local and Federal ofnees which ho held
was larger. It was said, than in tho
case of any other governor of North
Carolina.
