Although tlio Men's union, Mayor Molr, County Detective Leyshon and others have done much towards de creasing the number of drinking places In and about Scranton during the past yenr, the returns to the oltlco of In ternal Revenue Collector T. F. Pen man show that there has been not only no fulling off In the consumption of boor, but a. very decided Increase. The revenue from beer stamps last month was $131,757.97. In August, 1819, It was only $119,737.59. Collector Pen man says tho Increase against odds ns it assuredly was Is duo to the fact that last month was the hottest Aug ust In many years.

Bartlett, of Alderman Kasson's court, served the writ, and Agent Robert Wll.son and a corps of men In tho union's employ, rounded up the persons In the establishment, and removed tho gambling apparatus, which Is valued at $900. Martin Young, one of the proprietors of the place, was not In when the raid was made, but his partner, Treon, was captured, and entered $300 ball for his appearance at court. The oth lien arrested gave their names as ..n Smith, E. Henn, Harry Furst, Gus Rocks and Evan "Van Acken, all of which titles are thought to bo fictitious. They were released on their own recognizance to appear at a further hearing before Alderman Kas son, as the prosecutors In the case were busied Inst night with the dis position of the gambling furniture and could not appear to testify. The apparatus will be held as evi dence against the place. Among the spoils gathered In were a poker table, roulette wheel, faro bank, about half a bushel of poker chips, a large num ber of packs of poker cards, and a large amount of other gambling de vices, all of which were taken to the central police station. LEFT HIM IN THE LURCH. Bondsman Asks to Have Forfeited Ball Remitted. Judge John P. Kelley has granted a rule, returnable at argument court, to show cause why the forfeited recog nizance should not be remitted in the ense of the commonwealth against Joseph Kllllnaskl. Jaeob Puravltz, who is Kllllnaskl's bondsman in the sum of $300, made tho application for the rule. He says tho defendants was charged with de sertion and non-support by his wife. Tho case was called for trial April 21, 1D00, and when Kllllnaskl heard his name called he went out to flook up a lawyer. When he returned the case had been passed over and the ball forfeited. Before a capias could bo served, Kllllnaskl and his wife kissed and made up and together departed for their old home In Austro-IIungary. Mr. Suravltz believes that In view of nil the circumstances in the caso ho should not be compelled to pay over the $300 which lie pledged to the commonwealth. ADVERTISED LETTERS.

For years I had female troubles and did nothing for them. Of course I leoamo no better and finally broke down entirely. My troubles began with inflammation and hemorrhages from the kidneys, then inflammation, congestion and falling of tho womb and inflammation of ovaries. " I underwent local treatment every day for somo time; then after nearly two months tho doctor gave me permis sion to go back to work.

Coyne, ot Mlnooka, as permanent chairman, and Ana Nichols, of Clark's Summit, ns permanent secretary, Mr. Bonner's namo was placed before the conven tion by P. F. Coyne, of Old Forge, and the nomination was made by ac clamation. Tho resolutions adopted follow: The Democrats of the Third Legislative dis trict of Lackawanna county confidently renew their pledge of allegiance to the principles of their pnrtv as set forth in the magnificent pl.it foim I'kpt'.'il at Kansas City, mid enthusiastically endorse tlie e-andidates there nominated for pres ident nnd vice-president of tlie United Statest William J. lire an ami Adlai E.

They appeal to the pride, honor, decency, fairness and manhood of ail citizens for the sup port of the nominee of this conventlnn for tho state leglslatuie. It should be the unfaltering purpose of nil who cherish the fair name of the Kcsfclnna Mate to relegate to perpetual oblivion Matthew stinley (fuay. with all his diabolical political machinery. This Is the first Htep neo esuary to the purification of public administra tion, and without it Mich purification becomes an "iridescent dream." "DEPLORE THINGS. I'ndcr the present deplorable condition of af falls no law can be pa-wil without the approval and consent of the Ilrpubllenn dictator, and the appointments to all nflioos of the state and even the local appointments of many municipalities or the Commonwealth are made .subservient to his desperate political wire pulling. Thin It has happened that the name- of Pennsvlvanla has become throughout the United States almost a sjnon.vm for political corruption. In every legislative ilKtrict this jear a battle Is being waged In which the issue is the perpetuation or extermination of the degrading (ua dictator ship, tho continuation of political I'eluuchery or the regeneration and redemption of this great crminonwealth. Hence, it is that an appeal 1s made for the as-dstance ard co operation of nil citizens who desire to keep this state abreast her sister commonwerlths In legislative progress, who desire an unbiased and untrammeled Judi ciary, nnd who wish to ureserve "Ml ard In- diistrial liberty to the people. Mr. Ronner In accepting the nomi nation said he was aware of the dlf eult ta3k he had before him, In en deavoring to be elected In the Third district. "But," he continued, "I arrt not daunted, nor discouraged, for with the burning Issues of this campaign understood by the masses and with a thorough and complete organization wo will march triumphantly to vic tory under the leadership of that matchless nnd peerless leader, "William Jennings Bryan." After a bitter attack on Matthew Stanley Quay and his methods, Mr. Bonner concluded as follows: "In conclusion, gentlemen, I again thank you for this signal honor, and will promise that my untiring energy will be thrown into tho campaign foitnthe success of our whole ticket, and, If elected, will register my vote ngalnst M. S. Quay until his successor Is elected." Mr. Bonner was born In Providence and Is 31 years of age He was ad mitted to the Lackawanna bar in 1S93 and .subsequently took a course at the Dickinson Law school, at Carlisle, from whhh he was gtatluated In 1893. EVERHAR1 CASE WILL BE PUSHED Father Has Resolved to Let the Law Take Ita Course Attorneys Pre paring for the Trial. Reconciliation Is no longer a proba bility In the caso of Dr. Everhart and his son Edwin, whom ho accuses of having entered Into a conspiracy against his life. The caso Is to go be fore the grand Jury next week. Young Everhart Is complaining bit terly against his father, because of the latter's refusal to withdraw the prose cution, as the son was given to tinder stand he would. Only one meeting has taken place between father and son. That meeting, It Is said, decided the father In the course he would pursue. It Is claimed tho father can not bring himself to ho content to have the young man nt liberty. Joseph O'Brien and W. W.

A, Van Wormer Talks Enthusiastically of the Work of tho Convention and tho Calibre of Men Composing It. Suggestions to tho Judiciary Com mittees of Congress as to How the Objections to Somo Features of the Bankruptcy Law Can Be Mot. Attorney C. A. Van Wormer, referee in bankruptcy, returned yesterday from Saratoga, where ho last week attended tho sessions of tho Association of Ref erees In Bankruptcy and the National Bar association. Mr. Van Wormer spoke enthusias tically of the work of the referees' convention and the catlbro of the men composing it. "After two years' practical adminis tration of the bankruptcy law," said ho, "Its defects are probably better understood by tho referees than any other class, with the possible exception of certain commercial lawyers, who havo given the law especial considera tion. Tho meeting of the referees was for tho purpose of discussing those provisions of tho act, which have been criticized, and to suggest to the judic iary committees of congress such amendment as will meet the imperfec tions complained of. MANY ABLE REFEREES. "This meeting was attended by many of the ablest referees In tho country, and the discussion concern ing the construction to be put upon certain sections of the law would con vince any one, at all familiar with law. of the fine legal ability of those who participated In the discussions. "In this connection It Is proper to mention Mr. Hotehklss, of Buffalo, who, by the way, Is a brother of Mm. II. B. Ware of this city; Mr. Eastman, of Chicago: Mr. Darock, of Detroit; Messrs. Wise and Aub, of New York, and Mr. Olmstead, of Boston. After listening to tho legal arguments of these gentlemen, one can readily undet stand the surprise which many of the Judges of the United States courts have expressed In obtaining as referees men of such pronounced ability, for the very meagre compensation pro vided by the law. "E. C. Brandenburg, assistant attor ney general of the United States, made an able address upon 'The Practical Administration of the Bankruptcy Law,' and William C. Sprague, of De troit, editor of tho National Bank ruptcy News, read n paper upon Bankruptcy nnd Credits,' which was ordered to he printed In pamphlet form for general circulation. APPROVE OF THE LAW. "Mr. Spraguo has been In correspond ence with all the credit associations, commercial organizations and leading wholesale houses of the United States, and the unanimity with which they all approved of n bankruptcy law was a revelation to most of those present. Mr. Brandenburg nnd Mr. Sprague are very able young men. "Several proposed amendments were submitted to the executive committee, which will shortly make a report. The amendments proposeel by the referees Is simply by way of suggestion to con gress, and seeks to remedy the defects of the law as disclosed by judicial con struct.:. People generally, Including tho legal profession, have given little attention to the bankruptcy act, but the law should be carefully studied, as tho credit system and the commerce of the country Is largely dependent upon this law." DYNAMITE UNDER A BARN. Structure Was Badly Damaged by the Explosion. At about 9 o'clock Monday evening a loud explosion was heard In the icln. Ity of the Stetrlck Creek patch on tho east side of the river, near Pfe-kvllle, and upon Investigation It was learned that a. quantity of dynamite had been exploded under a barn, owned by Jo seph Flllp. The structure was badly wrecked. A horse, owned by Flllp, waj In the bain at the time and was stunned by the force of the explosion, but escaped serious Injury. Flllp Is at a loss to nccount for the explosion, as there was no explosives kept In the barn. Flllp thinks that some evil minded person wished to do him an Injury and used the dynamite. The force of the explosion wns great, and a large crowd quickly gathered. A hole several feet deep was made In the ground, and the roof of the barn blown off. People living In tho vicin ity were badly scared. MARION STUART CANN DEAD. Heort Failure Caused His Sudden Demise at His Father's Home. Marlon Stuart Cann, son ot the Rev. Thomas M. Cann, LL.
