Carbondale May Soon Be Enabled to Exercise Choice. ' There Is a probability that within a few months Carbondallans will be en abled to exercise choice regarding their reading of a local paper. It Is said John W. Aitken Is advertising through tho medium of Newspaperdom for live men who would like to start a news paper in an excellent field of 1S.O00 In habitants. Interesting capital In fer tile fields Is Mr. Altken's specialty and if anyone enn cause visions of gold dollars waiting to be picked up by journalism, ho Is certainly the man. It Is well known that some of the material of the defunct Anthracite plant Is stored on the third floor of the Aitken building. In fact several of the old, dust-covered forms of the morning dally stand on the stones Just as they were left nfter the obsequies.' In their regular reviews of the Journal, Globe, Anthracite and Her ald skeletons, the proprietors of the Leader have come to regard the hy pothesis of another dally as absolutely dead, ahd this makes tho field moie inviting. Under the circumstances It Is fair to presume that Mr. Aitken will put forth every legitimate effort to make the several thousand dollars In vested in type metal, et cetera, draw Interest. His progress In the matter will not be the least Interesting of locnl affairs to watch for the next six months. THAT ELECTION CONTEST. Pre- Peculiar Naturalization Paper cipltates Postponement. The commission for taking tcstlm. v in the contested election case adjourned precipitately yesterday morning, and I scores of Mayfleld witnesses who have been hanging around the city hall for the past three days will have to come again today. The adjournment came about this way: Patrick Klleur was on the witness stand and had answered all questions satisfactorily. He displayed his natur alization paper which Mr. Holgate, at torney for the contestant, offered In evidence. The peculiarity about the paper was that In the printed form the date line read "1S3 ." To this was added the number "So," written In Ink. The date was therefore "183S0." Mr. Holgate's intention was evidently to question the authenticity of the paper. Mr. Kelly's attorneys objected to the paper being aamittea in evidence, as they claimed it was plainly under ; wrong date, due to a clerical enor. rhey desired to have a correct copy nade. At the time the question arose Com- Imlssloner Lewis had left the bench for the purpose of taking a lunch. Commissioner Duggan decided to ad journ court until this morning at 9 o'clock when the matter of admitting the paper will bo argued. In the meantime the respondent will have time to Investigate Mr. Kilcur's pecu liar naturalization paper. LOCAL AND PERSONAL.
