and u number of rooters from this
place were In attendance.
At Wyoming tleld, Kingston, two
Karnes were scheduled The one be
tween the Wyoming seminary team
and the Herwlck High school was a
hard-fought contest and neither side
succeeded In scoring. The second came
on tho same grounds was between the
Seminary reserves and tho Wilkes
Rarre Y. M. C. A. team. It was an
easy game for the Reserves and they
succeeded In piling tip twenty-seven
points, while their opponents were un
nhle to score.
At Y. M. C A. Athletic field a good
game was seen between the School of
Lackawanna, of Scinnton, und the
Wllkes-Harre High school. Neither
side succeeded In scoring, but It was
quite evident that the Lackawannas
ueie playing by far the better game.
Were It not for the fact that they were
handicapped by several new men on
their team, the boys fiom Slocum Hol
low would have won hands down.
Williams, of the Lackaw annas, was the
1 star player of the game and was the
life of tho game. Walters, of the same
tram. Is also worth of mention.
The Wyoming seminary team will
. play the Laekawnnnns at Scranton

equally matched, n great Bamo is ,x-
pected.

COMMISSIONERS URGED TO ACT.
rrlends of Late M. F. Corcornn Want
His Murderers Hunted Down.
An Important and decisive step has
been taken bv the friends of the late
M F. Corcoran, of Duryca, looking to
the npprehenslon of his murderers. It
hns been the current opinion of tho
fi lends nnd acquaintances of that un
fortunate man that tho county has not
evinced the necessary amount of en
oi gy In cffoits to apprehend the cul
prits, and that unless the public shows
a determination to have the mattet
Tiros-oeutod, tho affair will rest indefi
nitely. Attorney W II. Gillespie, of Plttston,
who is counsel for tho estate of Mr.
Corcoran, has prepared petitions ad
dtessed to the county commUsloneis,
nnd has nlaced them in the hands of
persons In various parts of the county
for tho signatures of the citizens and
taxpayers. demanding that the commis
sioners take definite and decisive na
tion immediately to secure the appre
hension of the murdereis of Mr. Cor
coran and to bring them to the bar of
justice The ietition in question reads
as follows:
To tho county commissioners of Lu
zerne county:
The undersigned residents and citi
zens of Luzerne county respectfully
tepresent that,
Wheieas, One of tho most cruel and
foul crimes In the history of Luzerne
county was committed In the village
of Duryea urjon the morning of De
cember 3, 180S, resulting In the murder
of Michael F. Corcoran, and.
Wheieas, No definite action has been
taken by the authorities of said county
to apprehend the perpetrators of that
cilme;
' Now, we, the undersigned, demand
In the lntet ests of justice and human
ity that the commlssloneis of Luzerno
county shall exercise their lawful
power and authority and Immediately
endeavor to apprehend and bring to
the bar of justice the perpetrators of
that atrocious crime. Wllkes-Barre

MAY GET PRIZE YET.
Money for the Handsomest Engine
Not Yet Tnid by Committee.
Tho Wllkes-Barre Recold of Wed
nesday has the following.
"Although It 13 nearly two weeks
since Wilkes-Bario won the $30 prize
for the best appearing fire engine In
the paiade at Scianton, the Scranton
committee has not yet sent the prize
money. Tho sum is small, but th it
Is no reason why It should be with
held." it appeals to us In Pottstown that
there Is everyieason why the abovo
money should not only be withheld,
but why It should not be paid at all
to Wllkes-Barre.
The money belongs to the Philadel
phia Fire company, of Pottstown, by
whose splendid engine It was Justly
earned and to whom It was first
awarded The Wllkcs-Barro engine,
while undoubtedly finer than Potts
town, had not seen an hour's actual
fire service, such as Is contemplated
by the clause stipulating that the con
testing machines should be In actual
service, and, consequently, the execu
tive committee wns morally bound to
award the prize to the Phillies.
That they have not yet paid the
money may be an Indication that they
have, upon sober reflection, decided
to net Justly In the matter, regardless
of foreign Influence, which they have
doubtless long since recognized as

"Famine is a word repugnant in its
usual sense, but when used to desig
nate conditions prevailing In the trans

other than sinister," sas the Philadel

years past car manufacturing concerns
have been running day and nigM turn
ing out new equipment for the rail
roads. A'et we are facing a car famln
with the heaviest traffic of the year
still ahead. Railroad managers are in
a c.uandry. They cannot meet tho de
mands of shippers for cars, yot do
not want to order more. The reason
why they do not want to make con
tracts now for cars is because prices
nre so high, and oven by paying such
prices they cannot get oars foi several
months, so far behind In their orders

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Rovlew.
New York, Oct. 21. Tho traders In
stocks wero unable to Induce any
noticeable movement In prices during
the two hours of trading. Tho bears
wero Inclined to attack the Industrial
and specialties when It becamo evi
dent that tho bulls were In an aggres
sive moods. Sale for short account
was In evidence In the specialties, eome
of which dropped off a point or over.
Realizing was also mnnlfest In Pull
man nnd New York Central, hut the
decline In prices brought out no large
offerings of stocks and tho bears had
generally covered their contracts be
fore tho bank statement appeared,
bringing prices back to about last
night's level. A nominal Increase In
the surplus reserves was seized upon
by the bulls to rush up tho prlco for
sugar In on nttempt to Induce a fol
lowing. They were as unsuccessful
as the bearers nnd the realizing caused
a reactionary tendency In the wholo
list whloh was very narrow In Its ac
tivity. The closing was easy at tri
vial net changes in either way. Tho
main fentutes of the bank statement
were repetition of those of last week
There was nothing In It to encouiage
an exoectatlon of easier monev, but
as last week's similar statement led
to no renewal ot money stringency the
stock maiket was Inclined to the view
that this week's showing might lead
to no worse results. It Is puzzling to
account for the greater ease which has
developed In money during the past
week In face of the loan contraction
reported by the banks of J5.356.000. The
stock market borrowers hope that
money will cease to flow to Interior
points during the coming weeks. There
are Intimations of somo holdings of
government points by fudiiclary consti
tutions, tho anticipated Interest upon
which will bo applied for next week
and so be made available for the
money maiket. Total sales, 206,30d
shares.
