of the superior court, Charles J. Rellly.
In this county the contest has been
very quietly conducted, but it there
has not been much noise the battle
has been rather earnest. The Repub
lican county committee has for several
weeks had well organized county and
executive committees in charge of tlu
details of the campaign and thyy
have done a great deal of telling work.
A systematic canvass has been made
of every election district in the county
nnd It reveals the fact that on Tueu
day the Republican candidates will bo
elected by very tidy pluralities. The
only thing that can endanger the suc
cess of the ticket is the stay-at-home
Republican. If every voter does bis
duty the election of the Republican
ticket is assured.
A very unsystematic and unbusiness
like campaign is being conducted by
the Democrats. The party has for
years been split into factions, but la
this year In worse shape than ever be
fore. To add to the troubles of tho
campaign managers the candidates are
fighting. Durkin and Regan, the can
didates for county commissioner, real
ize than only one of tnem can hi
elected and each of them Is determined
thnt he will be the minority commis
sioner. The kind of campaign methods
this condition of affairs has brought
about can be imagined.
As to the audltorshlp, all efforts to
elect Paul Aten were abandoned some
time ago. Costello will be the min
ority auditor, prominent Democrats
say. It Is admitted that Aten is not
in the running.
LIFE UNDERWRITERS.
Have Organized ' an Association to
Foster Friendly Relations and
Protect Interests.
The Scranton Association of I,lfe
Underwriters has been organised, the
first of its kind In Scranton. Tho so
ciety will be formally launched at a
banquet at the Jermyn In tho near future.-
The object of tho organisation
is to promote the interests of life In
surance and foster friendly relations
among those engaged In It.
The membership Is restricted to tho
general agents, managers of agencies,
superintendents of agencies and prin
cipal representatives of life insurance
companies, transacting business in
Scranton and its vicinity. Any mem
ber mny present to the proper com
mittee written charges subscribed by
him against any other member, and If
it appears to the committee after in
quiry nnd after the accused member
Is heard In his own defense, that his
conduct has endangered or Is likely to
endnnger the good of the association,
or Is ut variance with the constitution
and by-laws, the committee shall re
port to the association, which by a vote
of two-thirds of its members, may
suspend the member or declare his
membershlo forfeited.
When the Informal withdrawing of a
member Is made under circumstances
derogatory to the life Insurance Inter
est, which thereby Impugns his mem
bership Btatus, the executive coinmlt
teo shall, according to its discretion,
declare such membership forfeited,
and any member tendering his resig
nation which, for condemnatory rea
sons, the association refuses to accept.

Tho market Is flooded with cheap goods,
and no doubt many thins are bought
that are adulterated and unfit for con
sumption. When any Item Is offered nt
cost or less there Is "a catch" some
where. Merchants are not In business for
their health. But does it pay to buy an
article of food simply because tho flKiiro
Is attractive? You may buy u cheup,
sfloddy garment, nnd little harm except,
perhaps, from your pocketbook. But not
so with your food. You havo a stomach,
and your health depends largely upon
what you put Into It. docs It not? There

It will be nil members' duties to re

VOULD NOT BURY HER.
Miko Rusk! Allowed Body of a Wo
man to Lay in His House
for Two Days.
A most shocking case of Inhuman
treatment was brought to light yes
terday by Mrs, W. B. Duggan, agent
for tho board of associated charities.
Mike Ruskl, of Sherman avenue,
near Twenty-second street, applied
yesterday morning to the poor board
to have a woman burled who was ly
ing dead In his home. On going to
the place Mrs. Duggan found the body
In a terrible state, decomposition hav
ing already set in. The woman hud
been dead since Sunday and In all the
time since had had no attention.
The dead woman has long bsen
known as a professional beggar. Ruskl
claimed that she came to his housu
last Friday night nsking for shelter
over Sunday. In that time he claims
that she stole JG3 from him nnd gave
it to John and Stephen Rlanchy, of
Brisbln patch.
It was discovered, however, on In
quiry that tho woman and Ruskl have
been living together as man and wife
for the past ten years. However, It
Is also known that trie woman did
give tho RIanchys money.
Ruskl tried to put the body In his
coal shed the other night to get It o it
of tho way, but was stopped by his
neighbors. Ruskl is an old man und
the woman was between 63 and ?H
years of age. Huski works In th
Hyde Park mine.
His only apparent object In his treat
ing the remains ns he did Is the fact
that he did not wish to incur
the funeral expenses and expected the
poor board would attend to the re
mains. Yesterday afternoon Ruskl
and the RIanchys had a bearing before
Alderman Millar at which they were
held for court under $300 ball.
The remains were taken yesterday
afternoon to Undertaker Cuslck's and
the funeral expenses will be paid by
Ruskl, who, on compulsion, handed
sufficient money over to Mrs. Duggan.
The body will be Interred tomorrow In
the Cathedral cemetery.
One of tho nspects of this caso Is
the exposure of the professional I.-m,'-gar
fraud. The woman, while Ilvlisr
with Ruskl. bad gone around begging
with a small book chronicling the fact
that she was a widow with nine chil
dren, etc.
Ruskl Is In very well to do circum
stances and Is known to send money
every month to the old country.
SCRANTON POSTOFFICE.
Has Just Been Established in Merrl
fee County, Kentucky.
Scranton, Merrlfee county, Kentucky,
Is the latest addition to the list of
our city's namesakes. A postofllce was
established there last week and at the
suggestion of Proprietor Fred S. God
frey, of Hotel Jermvn, tho town was
given the name of Scranton.
Mr. Godfrey and John 11. Fnssett, of
Tunkhannock, are the principal own
ers of a lumber company which estab
lished itself there nnd which gave rise
to the town. Its population has grown
to tho 400 mark and the residents felt
they ought to have a postofllce. Mr.
Godfrey Interviewed the postofllce de
partment in regard to the matter and
yesterday received word that the pe
tition had been granted nnd that tho
name he suggested adopted.
The town is situated on the Licking
river and Is tapped by two railroads,
the Licking Valley and Chesapeake and
Ohio. It Is regularly laid out and the
streets have been extended with a view
of Its eventually becoming a good sized
city.
Its principal thoroughfure has been
named Lackawanna avenue and tho
main lnteresectlng street bears thu
name Wyoming. The other streets are
named after the members of the lum
ber company. A small collection of
houses across the Licking river has,
been given the name of Hyde Park.
This Is the eighth Scranton In the
United States. The other seven are:
Scranton, Lackawanna county. Pa.;
Scranton, Green county, Iowa; Scran
ton. Osage county. Kansas; Scranton,
Jackson county, Miss.; Scrrfnton, Hyde
county, N. C; Scranton, Williamsburg
county, S. C; Scranton, Eastland
county, Texas. There wns a Scranton
In Colorado, but It is not now In tho
postal guldo and It Is supposed It died
out and was discontinued. Scranton,
Miss., is a county seat.
A postofllce named Handley, named
after the late Hon. John Handley, of
this city, has been established In
Virginia. It Is on the line of the
Chesapeake and Ohio and Is a good
sized and flourishing town, nccordlnn
to Mr. Godfrey, who passed through
It recently on his way from Scranton to
Scranton to-be.

Wllkes-Barre Is at fever heat o! ex
citement over the fight of the now
Scranton-Wllkes-Barre trolley com
pany to secure n franchise foi North

chlso or no franchise l the main ques
tion discussed.
I-ist night the laws and ordinances
and streets committees of the city
councils met In tho cltv hall to hear
expressions on the subject from the
people.
ATTENDANCE LARGE.
There was a big attendance and a
wide diversity of opinion. The senti
ment wns crystallzed in speech made
by Attorneys T. II. Atherton and Alex.
Fnniham, representing this new com
pany; Attorney George R. Bedford, rep
resenting the old company which al.w
wants a fnnchlse fo- this street in
question, and ox-Dl-mlc. Attorneys D.
A. Fell and John MoGaMon, represent
ing tho people who do mt want either
company to havo the franchise. The
committee adjourned without declaring
Itself to meet again at the call of
Chairman Ira Klrkenrall. The Record
yesterday contained the following:
Should councils grant the franchise the
ordinance will then come before the
mayor for his signature. This ofilehil Is
quoted us saying that the franchise
ought to be woith something to tho city
of Wllkes-Barre. say UOO.odb. The
agreement to repair that portion of tho
streets damaged by tho laying of tracks
he does not deem suflkient compensa
tion. Tho fact that the old companies
wcro not compelled to pay for their
irnnchlses docs not affect his opinion.
Ho says: "Tho franchises of the pres
ent companies operating lines in this
city were not original franchises, but
were purchased from other corporations.
The city nt that time had little knowl
edgs of the value of a franchise, nnd
tho establishment of the dlffarent sys
tems was of an experimental nature, the
companies taking tho risks nnd develop
ing tho demand for their services.
CITY NEEDS MONEY.
"It Is now tho custom In many cities
to exact some stipulated sum for these
privileges. Tho city needs money. A
public market and a crematory aro need
ed and tho people are taxed about
enough at present. The city Is not In a
position to make these Improvements
nnd Is much In need of them.
We can get nlong without the new line
to Scranton and the additional service
nnd the grant of the franchise should be
of some benefit to the city. If the com
pany wants tho franchise they should
pay for It. The present company pays
the city about i2,2M per year tax on cars.
I am and in favor of doubling that
amount nnd making the tax $100 on every
pair of trucks, instead of JW, ns at pres
ent. The trucks used under the summer
cars are transferred to tho closed cars
during the cold weather.
"Heretofore the only proviso attached
to tho grant of anything by the city has
been one wherein the advertising of the
ordinance giving them tho privileges re
quested. "The agreement to repair the street Is
of Ilttlo Importance, Inasmuch as the
streets between tho rails, and about
three feet on the other side, Is virtually
In the exclusive possession of the com
pany and Is of no value either to tho city
or the residents. I think a street railway
franchise, ns all other city privileges, Is
valuable and should bo purchased by
thoso desirous of securing It."
