Paid to the Colored People of Lacka wanna County. A spirit of fairness nnd a disposition to do justice to nil men, and give praise where praise Is deserved, regardless of race, creed or color, nre salient qual ities of Judge Gunster'H character. Blch or poor, high or low, black or white, no man ever came to Judge Gunster with out having duo respect shown his good qualities and a merciful rebuke to Ills bad ones. Thus it Is that ids common place utterances pass beyond the con fines of his own country, and are noticed with favor by the periodicals of the state and union. The following Is from the Philadelphia Press: "In passing sentence upon a colored man for wife desertion, Judge Gunster, of the Lacknwanna county courts, took occasion to pay a tribute to the colored people of that section when he snld to the prisoner: 'I am sorry to see a man of your race here In court. A'e don't often have colored men before this bar. The colored people of this community are generally law-abiding.' " YOUNG MEN'S FORUM MEETS. An Interesting Programme Was Carried Out Last Night. The bi-monthly meeting of the Young aien's Forum last evening In the law olllce of AV. J. Douglas, on AVyoming avenue, was very interesting, air. Baker gave a declamation nnd there was an nddress on the Young aien's Forum and Its possibilities by I. L. Haslam. There was n debate on the subject, "Resolved, That the newspaper should bo Introduced ns a text book In the public schools." The affirmative was maintained by Messrs.

Zimmerman, At torney M. W. Lowry and Corporal Layton M. Schoch, of tho Artillery. Issues of the Cnmpalgn Were Ful ly nnd Fairly Discussed by Theso Able Orators. Taylor borough's largest meeting place, Weber's rink, was crowded to the doors last night on the occasion of the llrst visit of tho Republican cam paign orators. Tho Citizens' band was present to enliven tho meeting but Its services vero 11 luxury rather than necessity for the enthusiasm display ed was unbounded nnd of ti nature that does not owe its origin to tho Inspira tion of a brans band. Hon. Jeremiah Snyder, who Is a fa vorite speaker In this region, was ex pected to be present but wns detained by nn Important law suit nnd at the last minute had to wire bis regrets at his Inability to b present. In bis stead the committee sent down Bon. Jnmes at. Kvnns, of Sharon, aiercer county, who was nt one time a mule driver In the Taylor mine nnd who Is now one of the best known AVelsh bards In America, and one of the most prominent nnd influential business men in the western part of tho state. AVIth him were Attorneys Tt. A. Zimmerman nnd ai. AV. Lowry, and Corporal Lay ton ai. Schoch, whoso appearance In bis red-trimmed Karkl uniform of tho artillery service won for him an en thusiastic reception. ail!. GBIFFITHS PRESIDED. Attorney James E. AVatklns, of Tay lor, secretary of the Republican county committee, called the meeting to or der and Introduced ev-Burgess AVil linm P. Grlllith!: to preside. Mr. Evann wns the llrst speaker. His opening reference!) to his early life In Taylor nnd the recounting of some humorous Incidents participated In by the boyp of his time, now the leading men of the village, provoked many a laugh and resulted In his having the audience with him from the outset. Among the many trite things said by air. Evans In comparing the three gubernatorial candidates was that while Colonel Stone was a boy in his teens, lighting to uphold the union, air. Jenks was at home trying to prevent Pennsylvania from flllintr Its army quota, and Dr. Swallow was nsldu niisly learning the commandment, Thou shalt not steal," to the exclusion of all other commandments, even, that closed allied one, "Thou shalt nut bear false witness against thy neighbor." He also provoked a burst of resound ing applause by the statement: "I am a. Republican because Lincoln, Grant and lllaine were Republicans and, my good neighbors, I don't mind admitting that since along In April last I haven't been hiding my head because I am af filiated with the same party us one aiajor William aicKinley." Mr. Zimmerman, In the opening of his speech, called up the assertion of the Democrats that there are no na tional Issues at this time and asked It this was so, would some one please tell him why the Democrats had taken the trouble to nominate thirty congress men In this state tills fall. ARE PERSONAL ATTACKS. Then, taking up the Issues as raised by the Democruts. he went on to show that when analyzed they are discov ered to be nothing more nor less than a personal attack on one member of the Republican party In Pennsylvania, Mutthew Stanley Quay. Their entire argument Is uitectcd against Senator Quay's method of managing the Re publican party. That Is none of the Democratic party's business, air. Zim merman went on to say. AVe nre the ones to judge whether or not air. Quay's conduct suits us. Tho decrease In the state debt from $10,000,000 to 91.000.oni: the saving of $15,0000,000 to the land owners of the stnte by the transferal of the state taxes from realty to the corporations; the Increase in the appropriations for free schools from $250,000 to $3,500,000 were mentioned by air. Zimmerman ns some of tho things that came with the ascendancy of the Republican party in Pennsylvania and of which aiessrs. Jenks, Sowden and others are not wont to speak. The ratification of the amendments abolishing slavery and enfranchising the colored man wo unanimously op posed by the Democrats In tho Penn sylvania legislature. Mr. Zimmerman pointed out nnd In our own times not one of them voted for the Farr free text book bill and their governor, Rob ert E. Pattlson, twice vetoed that oth er benellclent bill fathered by air. Farr, the compulsory education bill, In concluding he made reference to dodgers that were being circulated yes terday, attaching Hon. J. C. A'nughan's course In the legislature nnd In de fense of air. A'aughan reviewed his whole senatorial career, enumerating among his other achievements, his suc cessful carrying thorugh of the eight hour law; tho "Indigent Insane" bill, by whleh the state Is made to pay the local poor district for the main tenance of the indigent Insane; the bill authorizing the aioses Taylor hos- Continued on Page S. 1898 Tho greut atlvnntago of buying of us is tiio Money You Save.

He said ho hntl heard nbout air. llolgate through the papers and had come pro pared to glvo him battle. Every ques tion asked him provoked n speech. Ho averred thnt lie had been called simply because his namo led the contestant to believe he wns Irish and that It wns a shame to drag honest old property holders before tho Investigation nnd In sult them by asking them If they were boodlers. air. Holgate tried to suppress him in various ways, but he wouldn't bo sup pressed nnd only ceased when he had finished what ho had to say.

There Is a Possibility That It Will Havo to Bo Retried Other Cases Heard in Argument Court. There is a strong possibility that the Springer ejectment suit will bo re tried. Among the contentions of the defendant In the arguments for a new trial, yesterday, was an allegation that an error had been made by the trial Judge In charging the Jury that "where there Is adverse possession, there must be n claim of right," or ns applied to the case at Issue it wns not sufficient that Springer should simply occupy and Improve the land, but must have made declaration that ho claimed It as ills own. Judge Arehbald, who was on the bench when the arguments came up, admitted that this was a misstatement of the luw and cited an instance where he had fallen Into the same error and granted n new trial on tho strength of It. Judge Edwards, who tried tho Sprln ger case, came on the bench nt this Juncture and was surprised to find that the notes of his charge credited him with this statement. It was not in tended in the sense that tho language of the charge conveyed, he said. No decision was given. This Is the case In which the Lacoe & Shiffer Coal company brought suit to recover from AV. ai. Springer four teen acres of coal land near alooslc. Springer claimed possession by reason of adverse possession for over twenty one years. The plaintiffs established an undlsputable paper title to the land and further held that Springer simply occupied It by their suffrance. Other eases argued were: Mutual Guarantee Building and Loan associa tion against Ellen Shea and others, rule to open judgment; Josephine aiott against L. B. Thompson, rule to strike off Judgment; Franklin Fire Insurance company against alary E. Lewis, ex ception and rule for judgment. Other cases were dealt with as fol lows: Rule discharged: J. O. Rogers against ai. Hollander, rule for judgment; L. AV. Hoffecker against William Ilutcli lngs, rule to strike off appeal; Francis Kruger against Peter Sinkewitz, rule to strike off judgment and set aside execution. Rule absolute: John Stein against AVelgand Stein, rule to open judgment; D. A. Carpenter and others against Lucy A. Jester nnd others, exceptions. Submitted: aiargaret S. Flynn against Charles Flynn, rule for decree In divorce. In. the certiorari cose of AVilllam Decker against James aiuhon, judg ment was affirmed. In tho case of tho Guarantee Savings, Loan and Investment company against F, Schoonover and others, the demur rer was sustained, with leave to the plaintiff to file an amended statement and suggestion of default.

Remains of tho Lohlgh Valley Brake man Wore Disinterred In Plttston Cemetery Tind Coroner Longstrect Conducted a Post Mortem Examin ationDeath. Was tho Eesult of Hemorrhage Trainmen Tell tho Story at the Inquost of What Hap pened When Collision Occurred. Tho body of Richard Howell, the brakeman killed on tho Austin Heights branch of tho Lehigh Valley railroad In the accident caused by tho collision of tho train he was on with the hand car used by the outlawn In carrying away their plunder ufter looting the saloon of Isaac atillman In Barber town, Old Forge, on the night of Oct. 12, was exhumed yesterday nfternoon In Plttston cemetery by the order of Coroner Longstrcet nnd a post mortem examination was conducted to deter mine tho cause of Howell's death. The Jury placed the responsibility for the death on the men who had the hand car. Coroner Longstrcet found that the man died from hemorrhage. Howell wns caught beneath tho overturned gondola in such n way that his left leg and hip were practically amputated by the side of tho car. After the body was lowered Into tho grave again tho coro ner and Jury repaired to the olllce of Alderman Evnns, of Plttston, nnd took the testimony of the trainmen. AV. E. Snyder, the conductor, testi fied that the train consisted of an en gine, tender nnd eight empty gondolas and was moving nt the rate of eight miles an hour when the collision oc curred. The directum of tho train wns toward the Austin Heights, and the engine was pushing the gondolas. He was In tho cab of the engine. Sudden ly he felt a quick jar, whleh was ob served also by Engineer Louis P. Fire stein, who shut off steam and applied the brakes. CARS OVERTURNED, air. Snyder went forward with a torch to Investigate. It was about 1.30 o'clock In tho morning. He found the first car overturned completely nnd called to the two brakemen, John Car roll and Howell. Carroll responded from beneath the car that he was not hurt, and Howell spoke In a weak voice that he was pinned down. The conductor ran back to the en gine to tell the engineer and fireman what was the matter and they came forward to render what assistance they could. But llrst when the train stopped the conductor noticed some men run ning toward an embankment not far away; and when the engineer and flre mnn came with him to the overturned car, three or four shots were ilred at them from the direction taken by these men. For fear of offering a. target to the shooters they quenched their lights and In the dark tried to give what help they could to the two brakemen. They got ropes, pulleys nnd bars to lift the car and get them out. nnd having done so the engineer and con ductor ran the engine to Coxton yard for a stretcher. AVhen they returned Howells was dead. He died ton min utes after the frame of tho car was lifted from him. He did not bleed until the pressure was taken off. AVhlle It remnlned on him It held back the flow of blood. TRIED TO REaiOA'E IT. Brakeman Carroll testified that when within fifteen or twenty feet of tho hand car he saw the men working nt it to get It off the track. The barrels of whiskey were in the ditch. They had only time enough lo lift the hand car diagonally off. The train wns al most upon them when they deserted their plunder and ran toward the bank shooting as they went. He could not recognize what they looked like In the darkness nnd excitement, particu larly when he went over with the car and was pinned In until It was lifted up to permit bis extrication. The jury after hearing this testimony retired to deliberate nnd framed the follow inc verdict: AVe, the undersigned Jurors, find thnt Richard Howells came to his death from A Good Set or Tcctlt for... $3.00 Our Best Sets or Teeth 5.00 Including the Painless Extraction.
