Colonel Barnett spoke as follows, af
ter thanking the voters for his warm
reception: "I am more than glad to
meet you today, take you by the hand
and to see your beautiful scenery and
ed state treasure I shall endeavor
to (111 that office to the best of my abil
ity and In nccordnncc with the prin
ciples of tho Republican party. Wo
are on the cvo of on of the most Im
portant presidential contests tills na
tion has over known und wo nro told
by the Democratic party that there
are' no national Issues Involved. They
Ignore the radical differences nnd tho
principles of the two parties nnd try
to confine their campaign to state is
sues alone, but they format that their
own ofllclal deductions contradict their
position. If you road tha Democratic
state platform you will see that It has
endorsed William J. Bryan nnd tho
utterances of the Chli-as,') platform.
There Is no escape for It, they ure pin
ned to it. They are committed to avcry
one of tho popultitle doctrines ndvotut
ed by Brlyan nnu what does Bryan s-ay.
Ho has been going over the country
preaching free silver heresy nnd the 1G
to 1 fnllacy, denouncing the adminis
tration of the Republican paity nnd
ho has condemned William McKInlcy
for extending the benefits of civiliza
tion and humanity to oppressed and
starving people, thus by that platform
they have brought before tho people
the very Issues which must be fought
out In the next presidential campaign
and It Is upon these Issues alone that
tho present campaign must be
waged."

BAD MAN WITH A QUN.
John Thomas Fires Random Shots
Which Take effect.
Special to tho Scrnnton Tribune.
Plttston, Oct. 15. Sturmervllte, a lit
tle hamlet about one mile from hero,
was the scene of what may prove a
fatal shooting affray Saturday night.
The victim was Thomas Dougherty,
a married man, aged about 43 years,
with a wife and seven children resid
ing at Sturmervllle, his assailant be
ing John Thomas, aged about SO year?,
a married man residing In West Pltts
ton. Together with a number of Un
ci s tho two men were In John Toohoy"s
saloon, where they had been drinking.
An argument took place between all
the men present as to who was tho
best wrestler. Suddenly, without ntiy
apparent reason, Thomas stepped out
In tho middle of the floor, pulled out
n revolver nnd threatened to clean out
the house. Officer Martin Tlgue, fear
ing trouble, Immediately grabbed the
gun and a tussle ensued for the pos
session of tho weapon. The other
men, including Dougherty, proceeded
to separate the men and they were
finally parted, Thomas still having the
gun in his possession.
As soon as he became parted from
tho grasp of tho officer, Thomas, It Is
said, fired Jive shots nt random, three
of them striking Dougherty. The vic
tim received a bullet In the abdomen,
one In the leg and one In the arm and
but very slight hopes arc entertained
for his recovery. Thomas wa3 Im
mediately arrested and Is now In tho
county Jail. It was a half hour after
the shooting before It was known that
Dougherty was shot, he having walked
from the place Immediately. Both
are usually peaceable men, especially
Dougherty, nnd both men regret the
affair, Thomas being almost distracted
over his unintentional crime.
two bridges. The time limit of tho op
tion expires Tuesday, Oct. 17, and the

fied that the new company has decided
to purchase the stock nt tho abovo
prices. The money to pay for the
Water street bridge stock will bo de
posited In tho 'People's Savings bank
on Tuesday, and that for the Ferry
stock will bo deposited In the First
National bank.
At present both bridges are owned by
separate companies, nnd owing to a
disagreement between tho two com
panies the public Is receiving tho bene
fit of n cut-rate fight. The consolida
tion of the two bridges Into the posses
sion of the one new company will un
doubtedly mean the raising of tolls to
the sumo rates as before the light be
gan. Tho new company Is said to be
composed of six men, among them be
ing Joseph Glonnon and M. W. Morris,
of Plttston; E. W. Mulligan nnd J. P.

NON-SUIT GRANTED.
Employe of Powder Company Ac
cepts Risks of an Explosion.
Wllkes-Barre, Oct. 15. In the Im
portant damage case of Eugene F.
Hartland against the Oliver Powder
company for $10,000 damages for In
juries and burns received In an explo
sion at the powder mills five years
ago. Judge Halsey yesterday morning
granted a non-suit. He said:
"We find that the rules of law gov
erning risks assumed by employes to
be that by contracting for the per
formance of duties employes assume
such risks as are Incidental to their
discharge. Employes are bound to
take notice of the ordinary operatl m
of natural laws, and to govern them
selves accordingly. If they fall to
do so the risk Is their own. They
are bound to use their eyes, and if
they fail to do so they cannot charge
tho consequences upon tho master.
Where the danger Is open and ob
vious nnd within the knowledge of
the employe at the time of the em
ployment, he cannot complain if sub
sequently Injured by exposing himself
to such danger.
"The plaintiff here was sweeping the
powder from the walk between the
mixer and distributing shed at the
time of the accident. He testifies
that he was doing this for the purpose
of preventing it from taking fire. This
was the green powder from tho mixpr
that had fallen from the boxes. He
n!so testifies, upon cross-examination,
that ho knew tho nowder In the dis
tributing shed was dangerous nnd lia
ble to burn. It seems, therefore, to
us, that tho danger nnd risk of the
plaintiff's employment was open and
obvious to him and within his knowl
edge before the accident."

SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY.
THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
Now York, Oct. 11. Tho day's stock
market deflected nothing more than n
contest of professional operators, and
thoso not of very largo calibre. There
wero small buying orders nt tho opening
for London account, on rumors of a re
verse for tho Boers nt tho hands of tho
British In Natal, which seemed to help
prices to movo upwards. The bear cam
paign ngnlnBt Brooklyn transit was suc
cessfully prosecuted and tho Btock wns at
ono tlmo forced 94 under last night. Met.
ropolltan nnd Manhattan seemed to sym
pathlzo but recovered their decline with
tlio final rally of 1 In Brooklyn Transit.
Pullman has added 3 more points to Its
prlco and Great Northern Preferred 3'A.
Gnlns wcro pretty generally wiped out
after tho publication of the bank Btnto
ment, but covering by the bears brought
somo prices a fraction above last night
again. Extra disbursements by tho gov
ernment during tho week, on nccount of
tho deficit of tho poatotllco department
nnd on account of pensions had oft bear
ing on account of revtnuo payments, so
that tho bunks hnvo lost nothing to tho
sub-treasury on routlno operations. This
Is not expected to continue next week
and not much confldenco Is felt that the
government Interest to bo paid on Mon
day In anticipation of Its maturity will
avail to offset the Urnln Into tho sub
treasury on account of tho surplus of
revenues. Neither Is there nnv hope of
duplicating this week's receipts of gold
which amounted to rather over $.1,000,000
with foreign gold, n small nmount from
Cuba and somo from San Francisco. The
outlook Is further depletion of bank cash
and additional contraction of loans. To.
tnl sales of stocks today, 231.000 shares.
