AUTHORITY THAT DIDN'T WORK A Pottsvlllo Official Protondod ho Was Irmultod and Showed his Authority Trlod to Make Amonda. HE clowns who are gloating over tho end put to the existence of Fastluio Park and aro using the matter as an opportunity to lie about the peoplo who established tho pleas uro resort should not fnll to read what I have incorporated bilow. It is a state mont of facts and successfully refutes tho allegations of these clowns that the park projectors took possession of tho site with out suthority, and tberoforo wore justly dealt with. V The method of obtaining leases from tho Girard Estate is to first get permission to occupy tho land from the parties who lease tho ground for colliery purposes. Thp next step is to securo permission from E. 0. A nener, tho assistant superintendent for tho Girard Estate and ho refers the application to the Board of Oity Trusts. In tho case of Pastime Park, the project nrs fulfilled all these arrangements. Application was made to Mr. E, O, Wagner and ho said there would bo no doubt about tho granting of tho leaso and he could see no objection to tho park projectors going ah end with their work and making arrangements for picnics. If there was any likelihood of anything to the con trary developing, he said, he would telephone the park management. On tho strongth of this work on the park commenced. Monday came and no telo phone or other message was received and the management took it fo- grunted that everything ws all right, Ike ground was cleared, the dancing platform, refreshment and other etaDds about the grounds were erected, and a branch of the electric rail way about tkree-juartors of a mile was laid. Everything went lovely until just before tho opening day the day on which the Grant Band hold Us picnic .then Major Heber 8. Thompson,engjneerlbrtho Girard Estate, put in his appearance on the ground and declared, "It is an outrage to take possession of my property without my con sent." Thompson then notified tho Board of Oity TruUs that the park pooplo had taken charge of tho grounds without his consent Under this report tbo Board ordered the park peoplo to vacate' the grounds and decided not to grant a lease. Then Thompson reflected and he told tho park peoplo to go ahead agala; that he would havo the Board of City Trusts re consider tho matter. Tho park people did go ahead again, but toon learned that Major Thompson could not got tbo Board to reconsider tho (natter, as he thought he could easily, and there was no other course left open but to vacate the grounds. V Now such battledoor and shuttlecock treatment of the park management cannot be endorsed by any sensible and intelligent person. But the worse feature of the af fair is tbo miserable position tho Girard Estate people havo taken, They havo dis criminated against the park managemont. Tho land of the estate is thickly dotted with people who are genuine "squatters," and who not only pay no rent, but also run liquor shops. Another part of the land is a common scone of Sunday base ball games, yet the ostato officials fait to jaiio a voico. But Pastime Park bad to go because there was a power behind tho throne that had a prejudico against tho management. V What is tho Girard Estate doing for the people? "We support and educate your orphans" is their reply. Well, yes, they do to some extent. They support twelve Schuylkill county orpbans in return for woll, I don't know how much exactly, but one colliery north of tbo Broad Mountain turns Into the Estate's treasury ono hun dred thousand dollars every year. V What o!e does tho Girard Estate do for our people? Nothing good. They took from us the only summer pleasure grounds in this valley under tho pretonco that the ground was needed as a place fordumping rock, when there was other ample torrltory near at hand. Efforts to make up for tho loss of the old Columbia Park by establish ing grounds on other parts of the Estato have failed twice and now it seems that there it nothing that can bo done until the Girard Estato become roally philanthropic. V Will tho Girard Estato deal fair with tho people and give them something in return for the Columbia and Pastime parks tbey have taken from tbem? Or will tbey pur sue the Vanderblltonlan pooplo' bo-damned policy and lot tho public look for pl'oasuro at miserable excuses for dancing platforms. RICHARD H. KOCH.

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE Hies Career at tho Bar and in tho District Attorney's Offloe as Doputy and tho Chief Official. ICUiiiRD ti. KOOH, Esq,, prosont District Attorney and Repub lican nominee for Judge, whose portrait wo present to day. was born in Mlddleport, this county, on the scond day of April, 1852. Ho lived and worked on a larm up to tho ago of four teen years. After receiving a common school education, he entered the Btato Normal School at XnUtown and was grad uated in 1871, with, the firBl hooorB of bis class. He taught school in Lehlgn ana Schuylkill counties till he was called to the chaic of Mathematics at hi? Alma Mater, For tix years ho filled that responsible posi tion with grout credit He then registered with Hon. F. W. Hughos, at that timo tho Nrator of the Schuylkill county bar, ana v?s admitted in 1831. He at once entered opon the active practice ot law and vory soon became conspicuous in tho protossion. In the campaign of 1880 be tooK. an acme pirt as a Republican Btump speaker. As delegate to the Republican state conven tion and chairman of tho county commllioo he did still fuythor service to his party. Mr. Koch took n active part in organiz ing, the Central Republican club of Fotts vi lie, onof tho leading political-social or ganizations of the state. For fire years he mihs its preBfdent. After serving a term of three years, by nppointmenit, as first deputy in the District Attorney's offico, he was elected District Attorney in 1839, running 1200 ahead of the ticket. Mr. Koch has a pleasant home on West Market street, Pottsvillo. A wife and three children constitute bis family. In fra ternal matters he is ono. of the best known gentlemen in this section. Mr. Koch disposes of (rom 1.000 to 1,200 criminal cases per year. Ho has.it is stated, taken part in moro homicide cases than any other man of his ago in legal practice in the state, his first case which ho tried with excellent skill being a homicide case. Ho is a scholar and a fine lawyer. His personal popularity is great, and allbongh usually crowded with business he will stop on tho street to shako hands with some poor miner or to speak a pleasant word to a schoolboy. He was for five years trustpo on tho part of the ptate of the Koystono Stato Normal School, and for seven yonrs has boon ono of the diroctors of the Valley Forgo Centen nial and Momorial Asfociation. It is worthy of mention and we think a remarkab.e coincidence, that during tho late war when tbo fatbor of Mr. Kocb, who is Btill living at the age of "C yean (and a wonderfully preserved gentleman he Is at his timo of life) rosidod with his family on a farm at Auburn in 18G3, when the war of tho Rebellion was at its hnigbt, Richard, then only eleven years old, was the oldest persun on the farm ; his father, filled with the spirit of patriotism, three brothers and three uncles of tho subject of our sketch, h11 equally pitriotic, had responded to tho call of their country, and joined the Union army. Our state had been Invadod by an armed foo who thrflataned its desolation and ruin, and many Instances of bravery aro recorded in tho annals of Pennsylvania history, where all tho members of fimilies who were able to bear arms rushed to tho de fense, but we doubt whother any Pennsyl vania family can produce a better record than that of Mr. Koch's. Not only were the seven only able bodied rnombers of this family in tho ranks, bearing muskots and braving theangers and hardships of the conflict, but tbo elder Mr. Koch was in strumental in enlisting in tho cause up wards of twenty five stalwart yeomen, all alike in their military zeal and equally self eacrlflcing and brave in the defence ot tho right. History records no bettor incident of deyotlon to a good cause. There may be parallel cases, but none superior, in those days when men wero wanted for a coun try's defence and to sustain a country's glorv. It reminds us of the timo when the minute mon of the Revolutionary war. sturdy farmers like the Kochs, left their plows and firesides their homes, wives and little ones and rushed to the defence of our soil and battled against an Invading army which threatened annihilation, when obedience to unjust laws was Impossible without dishonor. Thoir glorious examnlo was hore emulated by this patrlotlo family, of which tho gentleman, who is a nominee for the offico of Judge this fall, is a noble scion. l'ure and "Wholesome Ouullty Commends to publlo approval the Call fornia liquid laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs.
