Tunkhunnock, Dec. 12. On next .Mon
day the court of common pleas will be
In session here for the purpose of
the hearing the matter of the contested
electlun of A. H. Squlr. Both sides to
the contest have been occupied this
week in getting the matter In shape
to be heaud. The petition in this case
alleges that certuln ballots that were,
cast tor Mr. Tiffany In the varlou-j
districts of the county were not count
ed for him and that certain other
ballots which should not have been
counted for A. 11. Squler were counted
by the election boards for him. The
official count shows a plurality l'oi
Squler of three, this being made up
through an alleged mistake in the re
turns from Monroe township, which
the returning board counted as giving
Tiffany., but KM votes, instead of 10S,
as the return sheet shows. Mr. Tif
fany, Immediately upon the decision of
the board being made known, endeaf
ored to have the ballot box from Mon
roe brought Into court and the bullots
counted, and was willing to abide by
the result of thut count, but the re
turning board thought that they hud
no authority to do that, and besides
were the subject of an Injunction
against doing so, sued out by parties
interested for Mr. Squler. Since that
time Mr. Tiffany hns been willing to
institute a contest" and limit It to an
Inspection of the vote of Monroe town
ship, but could not do so wltn safety
and allow the other side the whole
county in which to choose from to
overthrow his majority, in case the
count in that district should fuvor him,
In the absence of any agreement with
Jlr. Squler there was nothing to be
done except to start a general contest
of the whole county, and that Is what
Is being done.
Tlie Democratic papers have raised
a cry about the large bill of costs
which was to be Imposed on the coun
ty by this proceeding-, and It Is wel1
that the people should bo set right In
regard to It. The costs in no case can
be put on tlie county. If the trial
Judge should decree that the contest
was started without probable causa
the costs will be put on the petition
ers, otherwise the state will foot the
bills. The court will convene on Mon
day and in all probability will adjourn
after making tlie necessary orders for
the furthering of the business until tho
ballot boxes can be brought Into court.
The attorneys In the case will be

THE MARKETS.
Wall Stre.t Bavlew.
.New Yolk, Dec. 12. Activity in a Jaige num
ber of usually dormant secuiitics was taken by
traders today to demonstrate increased Interest
in the stock market on the part of the outside
public, liaiim in these piopertles were more ex
tensile than in the usual inatket leaders and ex
tended lo 4 points in tome, cases, ticnendly
speaking the market during tlie foienoon dis
played great animation and strength with specu
lative interest radiating fium one group of stocks
lo another. The inaiket for Americana abiu.nl
was described as buoyant und the aibitiage
houdes bona lit about .Ij.oon shares on balance fur
Lcndon. At the outset of business the coal slocks
weio the principal leuuire.s and generally got
well above last night's close on an enormous
demand. These properties later on allowed the
eltect of lieavy reallz-itions. Heaiy buyuig de
veloped in tlie steel stocks owing to continued
encouraging reports of the Uvie outlook. Tliete
was veiy lieavy buying at intervals in the (Irang
cis, Pacifies and some of the southern and
.southwestern stocks, vltlt Builington, Kansas
nnd Texas prefeiied, and Louisville especially
prominent. Duiing the eaily ntlernoon niter the
foreign buying had cea?ed the demand showed
signs of eNliaustiun and pi Ices weic inclined lo
yield. Xot much improvement was made in
piiccs when the tiadcrs lealired and theie wus a
few strong spots which kept the general inaiket
pretty well in 'heel:. Unusually large dealinas
in the Lake Krie and Western stocks caused a
rise of 4 and ,i respectively for the common
and pieferred, and New Yolk, Chicago and St.
Louis prefcired jumped 1 points to 100. An in
crease of !,i per cent, occuued in the semi- an
nual ditidend in the Minneapolis, St. Louts
slock. In the final hour a raid was made on
Tennessee Coal and the stock broke 11 per cent,
on a rumor that the directors were in session
md had passed the quarterly dividend on the
. IK. nils movement unsettled tlie entire
market nnd prices fell away rapidly, aveiaging
u point for the most piomineut railroads and
extending to iVi in the specialties the tin
plate being most affected. When it became
known that the leport of dividend anion on
Tennessee Coal was unfounded the stock milled
2 points and all other stocks uncovered somewhat,
speculation leaving !t strong again and active.
Total sales, 810,300 shares, business in bonds
was veiy heavy and notable stirngth was dis
played by Kansas and Texas issues. Reading
touis got up to !)3',4 eaily but lost practically all
the lise in sympathy with the decline in the
stock-. Tlie market otherwise was untntpittiue
aud iuegular. Total sales, pur vaue, $3,l)70,iJQ.
United States lefunding 2s registered advanced
'a and new 4s i't per cent, on tlie last call.

Wonder how many pages
of a good newspaper it would
require to catalogue all the
good things there are here in
the gift giving line?
Choosing here is easy,
however, for everything is
arranged to your conveni
ence. We don't mind helping
you with the choosing, if you
wish it.
There's nothimr but what's
here, that ought to be here.
.Nothing but what we can say
to you frankly and candidly:
"It's the best we know of for
the money."
Come and "look." Costs
nothing; very satisfying, very
appetizing, especially if you'v
presents to make and your
thinker won't work.
