main lines a tariff which protects the

currency.

DRUMMER STILL AT LARGE.
One of the Pike County Birds Is Cap
tured. Special to The Scnmton Tribune.
Stroudsburg, Pa., Sept. 5. The an
thorltles have been unable to locate
Norman Drummer, the nine-year-old
prisoner, who escaped yesterday from
the county Jail. Drummer Is believed
to bo in hiding in town, and Is being
closeted by some of his friends. Con
stable John M. Decker claims that
Drummer will lie found, but when or
where he does not say. Young Drum
mer has been a sort of tenor to the
town. He has ber caught in a num
ber of thefts and has kept the author
ities pretty busy keeping him straight.
A few months ago he was arrested nnd
placed In the county Jail for robbing
the New York and Susquehanna rail
road. One of the four prisoners who es
caped from the I'lke county Jail was
captured in Wells Cllen. on the out
skirts of the village, by Jacob Vander
mark, a brother of the sheriff. Wans
acknowledged that lie was the leader
of the gang who escaped, and that he
Planned the escape. There Is little
probability that the others will he cap
tured, as the Pike cuunty authorities
do not seem to be willing to spend any
money to capture the Jail-breakers.
BRADFORD COUNTY FAIR.
The Management Is Preparing an In
teresting Programme.
Tawando, Sept. 5. Tlio management
Of the Bradford county fair, which will
be held from September 26 to 29 Inclu
ilve, Is making extenslvo preparations

glass blowers, who attracted so much
notice at the Chicago exposition of
189H, are engaged to bo present and will
give freo exhibitions on tho grounds.
On Wednesday tho tnnnagement ex
pect? to interest tho attendants of tho

SCHUYLKILL BOND SCANDAL.
Decision in the Matter Is Expected
This Week.
Pottsvllle, Sept. 5. At this week's
session of criminal court, Judge Mnrr
will hand down his decision in tho In
junction obtained by Controller Mul
doon and tho Taxpayers' leagti" re
straining the county commissioners
from Issuing the new county bonds to
II. II. Pearson, of New York. It is al
leged that a bonus was offered to cer
tain officials for their influence In ef
fecting the loan. It was also said that
a certain person was paid $2,000 for his
efforts in this direction. These were
vague rumors and the testimony taken
did not implicate any one.
It Is alleged by the Tnpayers' league
that the amount due the county from
the tax duplicates ot 1899 will bo suffic
ient to cover tho temporary loans of
$17S,000 without having recourse to a
bond Issue. II. O. Bechtel, counsel for
the commissioners, and R. II. Koch,
attorney for Mr. Pearson, contend that
the new bond issue will save Schuylkill
county thousands of dollars In Interest
annually, as the new bonds boar a
much lower rnte of Interest than that
now paid by the county to the banks
for temporary loans.

ROMANCE IN BUTTER.
CHAMPION FISH STORY.
Lost Eye-Glasses Recovered in the
Stomach of a Bass.
Stroudsburg, Sept. 5. The following
true fish story Is narrated at the ex
pense of J. Temple Hopple, ?sq., a
prominent Philadelphia attorney, who
summers annually at the Gap anl is
noted for ills fondness for fishing:
One day last week, while fishing for
bass, Mr. Hopple lost his eyeglasses.
Two days later, while angling near the
same spot, he hooked a fine bass. Re
turning home Mr, Hopple gave the flsh
to a son of Adam Transue, the Far
View proprietor, to clean. Presently
the lawyer heard a shout and the boy
came running to where be was. '
"Look here, Mr. Hopple," yelled
younr Transue, "I've found your eye
glasses." "And where did you get them?"
queried tho legal light of tho Quaker
City.
"Out of the bass ou caught," was
the reply.
Sure enough, on opening the fish the
glasses were found uninjured.
TO WELCOME TROPHY CANNON.
Will' Be Made the Occasion of an Im
posing Demonstration.
Wllkcs-Barrc, Sept. 5. The formal

ion of an imposing mllltnry and civic
demonstration.

In hand, and Is arranging a parade on
an elaborate scale. A general Invltn
tlon has been extended to all veterans
of the Spanish-American war, regulars,

ticipate in these ceremonies.
BOTH LEGS CRUSHED.
Special to Tho Scranton Tribune.
Stroudsburg, Pa., Sept G. The twenty-seventh
annual fair of the Monroe
County Agricultural society opened
auspiciously today. The attendance
was fairly large. The grounds arc
much improved. The cattle, sheep,
swine, poultry and horse exhibitions
are better than ever, indicating that
the Interest in the fair is Increasing.
The appearance of tho animal Is very
fine, and tho poultry show that con
siderable attention was paid to their
breeding. Tho sheen are excellent,
while the cattle look to be in fine
shape. Since the last fair many need
ed Improvements have hn.' made to
tho grounds, among the greitest Is
tho wagon road which for.ri v'y w?nt
straight through tho grounds and was
n menace to spectators, Is now stakrd
off by posts and leads to tho left on
entering around the upper fence. An
other much needed Improvement In the
erection of a new band stand. The
track has been worked In'.- splendid
condition. An interesting exhibition of
more than ordinary interest in a col
lection of Pacific coast shVn, among
them specimens of the abalono. It Is
a univavle found on rocks anywner'
on the cost of California. The body
of the fish Is exceedingly muscular
and Is good for food. It is caught,
by Chinamen, who dry the meat and
exports thousands of tons of it to
China each ycr. The fish clings to
the rocks and Its grey shell can hard
ly be distinguished from them. When
It requires food it raises Us shell a
little on one side. The Chinamen
watch for this and insert a bar be
neath and pry the shell lose from tho
rock. The shell Is beautifully colored
inside and can bo polished very highly
on the outside nnd are used In making
trinkets, ornaments and Jewo.. The
pearl opal is made from this shell and
it is principally used in mosaic work
The farmers take particular Interest
in visiting the stables. A largo num
ber of horses are quarterel there, oil
pacers and trotters and some f?sl hoise
flesh is to be seen. The fakirs are also
in evidence, but are not quite as num
erous as in former years. A reporter
visited the grounds this afternoon and
found evidences of gambling. This
will be stopped tomorrow afternicn by
the managers of the association. Tho
Innocent fortune teller was on hand to
accommodate those who deslro to dip
In tho future. The performances on
the stage are above the average. To
morrow there will be a stage perform
ance at 10.30 a. m. between tho races
by the Normal school students. Pro;
Pearson, of the Normal gymnasium,
will havo them in charge. Another
attraction tomorrow will b the ar
rival of the Fairvlew Fire company,
of Bethlehem. They will on met at
the depot by the Phoenix nnd Acme
Fire companies and headed by a bund
will parade through the two towns out
to the fair grounds. During their is

of drunkenness, fighting and that there
would not be much left of the town
after the boys had finished with It.
But, to tho credit of the companies
that were here, it should be said that
while this was the largest crowd that
has ever visited our town. It was at
the same time the most orderly. The
firemen were out for a good time and
had it, and In the having of It, of
course, created a racket, but drunken
ness and fighting and other like amuse
ments were conspicuous chiefly by
their absence.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Streot Review.
Cs'ew York, Sept. 5. Tho buoyant
tone of a handful of Individual stocks
gave an appearance of considerable
strength and activity to the stock mar
ket, but outside of these few stocks
the market was narrow and apathetic
to the last degree. Shortly after tho
opening Northwestern was marked up
sharply and tho usual response was
made In other members of the Vnn
derbllt group, Union Pacific also fol
lowing the lead. As was the cas;
last week, the heavy offerings of1 Union
Pacific brought out on the advance
checked the enthusiasm of the buying
and operations In that particular grou:
were for the mest part dlscontlnupf..
Northwest's extreme rise was A,
the preferred three points above th"
previous sale, Omaha, 2, New York
Central and Union Pacific over a
point. New York, Chicago and St
Louis stocks advanced 1 to 4 points
on a rumor that Judicial aid was to
be sought to enforce asserted rignls
to dividends. The coalers were In g i O
demand, Lackawanna loading il'1 .t
rise of 3',2 Gains In this groua we-"
not maintain entirely. Other rail
road stocks which rose a point or over
were St. Paul, Colorado Midland pre
ferred, Wheeling and Lake Erie sec
onr preferred, Hocking Valley and Chi
cago Great Western preferred A and
B stocks. Transactions elsewhere in
the railroad list were quite Insignifi
cant. There was a good demand for Re
public Steel at an ndvance of 2i and
Federal Steel rose a point. Otherwise
he iron nnd steel stocks sbowe.l but
a slight response. The New Yolk
Municipal stocks, Including botn tin
gas and traction stocks, wro quite
buoyant nnd show gain of from 2 :o
5 point, 'l.e latter, Metropolitan Stieet
railway American Tobacco ios an
txtrem-1 three noln'! and siIimt ;,J.
Chicago Terminal Transfer preferred
gained 2 points. Total sales, 419,500.
Tho bond market was quiet and
changes were small and mixed. Total
sales par value, $1,555,000.
United States bonds were unchanged
