We received a well written com
munication from Dushore this week,
but owing to its great length, we
are unable to give it space. We
shall be pleased, however, should
our new correspondent continue
sending us the news from the me
tropolis, but insist that he grow
weary before filling both sides of
five sheets of foolscap paper. Short
sketches of the news is much pre
ferred bj' the reading public.
It is pretty evident that Josh M.
Lull of Bernice, will be a candidate
for Mem bet - this fall, subject to the
will of the Democratic convention.
With Messrs Lull and Karns in the
field for this honor, we can hope to
see a lively and interesting Demo
cratic Convention, with the odds
about evenly divided. Josh, how
ever, has the faculty of making
things hum when he takes a hand in
politics ; perhaps more so than any
Democratic politician in the county.
Both gentlemen have their friends,
however, who will come to their
rescue and a blast can be expected.
The profits of the Louisiana Lot
tery are larger and the investment
of the company safer than auy other
kind of business carried on in the
world. The value of tickets for
twelve drawings is shown to be
$28,000,001). Total number of
prizes given in twelve drawings,
$14,767,200. which represents the
gross profits to bo $13,*232,800. In
other words the company takes 47
per cent, profit for themselves and
gives a trifle more than 53 per cent,
to the few winners of the prizes.
Hundreds of dollars, Jwe are told,
have been sent to this lottery insti
tution from LaPorte and out of the
hundreds who have sent their money
into the sink hole not one has ever
won a valuable prize. A state that
will allow such a money making
scheme to exist has but little regard
for itself.

The ticket to be voted in this
slate next November will cover as
much space as a large newspaper
page. The names of the thirty-two
Presidential electors for each party,
the nominees for Congress, includ
ing the candidates-at-large, and for
Senator, Representative and county
offices, must all be printed on one
ticket. Secretary Harritv says that
if the names were printed one after
the other on a ticket four inches
wide the ballot would probably be
three yards long. As soon as the
state commission shall have deter
mined on the exact size and details
of the new ballot, Secretary Harrity
will send a specimen copy of it to
the County Commissioners and
others interested in the printing of
the official tickets.

A YOUTH COMMITS MURDER IN
PHILADELPHIA :—Harry Lascaden a
youth 18 years of age, of Philadel
phia, shot and killed Policeman
Findley and wounded Policeman
Nesper in the arm, on Tuesday even
ing of last week. The boy was
caught in the act of burglary and in
attempting to make his escape com
mitted the deed. The Cascaden
family are spoken of in tbe highest
terms by the Philadelphia papers
and the mother of the desperate
youth is almost distracted by the
conduct of her son.
HE DID NOT MARRY HER.
On the Contrary, Ho is Charged with
Running Off with Her Money.
Irwin E. Scott, a middle-aged
man of East Saginaw, Mich., hut
who has been lately stopping at
Front and Harrison streets, was ar
rested Dec. 28, by Detective Geyer
on a warrant sworn out by a young
woman who resides at Dushore,
Sullivan County, charging him with
the theft of $4,025. It is said that
he was about to be married to the
young woman, and was given the
money to purchase a house, but in
stead lie decamped to this city. He
was given a hearing before Magis
trate Clement, and was held in sl,-
200 bail to await the action of the
Sullivan Countv authorities.—Phila
delphia Inquirer.
The woman connected in this
business transaction of considerable
importance, is Mrs. Mcllwain widow
of the late Geo. Mcllwain who was
for many 3 T ears engaged in the
mercanlile business at Eldredville,
Sullivan county. This man Scott
was brought to Dushore immediate
ly after the hearing in Philadelphia
and placed in a room in Hotel
Carmody for safe keeping. He
made good his escape however, on
Wednesday night Dec. 30ih. We
understand that rumor
has the amount stolen, much less
than is given in the abeve report,
and also, that apart of the stolen
goods were refunded to the Mrs.
during Scott's stay at Dushore.
WILKES-BARRE AND WILLIAMS
PORT.
ThG Lehigh Valley's Road to the We®*
Branch Nearly Complete 1.
Wilkes-Barre Tirnea.
There are two big gangs of men
at work on the Lehigh Valley
Company's Williamsport railroad by
way of Harvey's Lake, Bowman's
creek and Lopez. One gang is on
the Williamsport end and another
at the Bowman's Creek terminus.
A report from one of the construc
tion bosses says that the fcnds are not
quite two and one-half miles apart.
The weather has been favorable to
the work, and it is likely that the
gap will be closed and the new road
opened before March Ist. As the
river bridge is ready to receive the
Williamsport business it is probable
that no time will be lost in getting
the line opened. The railroad dis
tance from this city to Williams
port will be reduced bj' more than
thirty miles, and the Lehigh Valley
trains will of course carry all the
business to that section from both
the Wyoming and Lackawanna
Valleys. The section through which
the new road extends from Harvey's
Lake i-) a wilderness which, when
opened by this railroad, will become
at once a great lumber country.
