BUT HE WILL NOT RETURN HOME. SAYS HE FEARS A STEP FATHER Tho Boy Ran Away From Girard Collate About Two Years Ago and Has Worked in the Mines Since. j HE mmrald yesterday called the attention of the public to a letter received by Chiof of Police IHvi from Mrs. Margaret Kerwick, of New Hope, Bucks comity, Hi which the Chief was asked for in formation concerning tlie whereabout of her son, for whom Bho had been searching for over a year. Tho IIekald was not on the streets half an hour when a reporter of tho paper and Chief Davis wore informed that the hoy was in a liouse on West Coal street. Tho In formation was followed by a visit to the liouse designated and the hoy was found. Ho had heard df tho Herald's articlo and was ou alert for callers. When Chief Davis Chief Burgess Smith and tho reporter ap proached tho houso somo boy friends of tho 0110 sought gavo warning and it was only after many assurances that no arrest was in tended and somo" persuasion that tho boy could bo induced to meet tho officers. Satisfied that he wus not to bo taken into custody tho boy, whose name is Qooigo, led tho way into tho houso of tho friends with whom lie lias been staying. Chief Davis then told George of tho letter written by the mother and advised him to go homo. Tho hoy said that he, too, received a lettor from his mother and answered it yesterday. Ho said ho would not go homo and when asked why roplicd that ho did not thins ho would like a step father. Chief Davis considered ho had dono his duty in fiudlng tho boy nnd advising him to go homo and that after writing to the mother ho would let tho matter drop. (ieorgo Erskino is about bovciitcen years of ago. Ho ran away from Qlrard College, Philadelphia, about two years ago and lias since resided with tho West Coal Btreet family. Ho works in the Boston I!un mints, Tho family ho,is staying with has tr-ated him very kindly and this with tho kuowl edge of his mother's ro-marriage and a fear that ho could not get along with a step father has made lilm adverse to return to his home. Members of tho family with which he is living told tho Chief of Police that they had not Induced tho boy to remain here, but ou tho contrary had repeatedly advised him to go to his homo.

I heard a man say yesterday that it was n shamo the Borough Council did not make some provision heforo it adjourned Thursday night to give tho pcoplo police protection pending tho organization of Council on Mon day evening noxt. His idea, which was of courso erroneous, was that tho meeting of Thursday evening was tho last of tho old Council and tho terms of tho paid pollco ex pired with tho adjournment. Tho old police force is still on duty and any ouo can ascer tain the fact by giving them a chanco to make an arrest. Oiie. UoIiib tiooil Work, lion J. J.

DETAILS OFAI! DEAL. LIQUOR LICENSE FOR VOTES LAST FALL. LICENSE LEAGUE. The Despicable Measures Em ploye 1 to Secure the Political Influence of ApplioantB for New Saloon Stands. Speolal 1IBKALU correspondence. Pottsvillh, March 1. HE details of a deal of questionable character that entered promin ently Into tho last election for a Judge in this county was un earthed by the hear ings of tho applications for new licenses hold during tho past month mostly at intervals, consequent upon tho sickness of ono membor of tho Bench and tho death of another. Owing to tho nbsenco of tho President Judge, who was recuperating at tho seoshore, after a serious attack of stomach trouble, all tho rapidly accumulated work of tho court dovolved upon tho associates, Judges Bechtcl and Green, and tho sudden death of tho lat ter, on tho Cth ult., threw tho entiro burden upon tho only remaining oltlcial in actual harness, Judge Bechtel, who has been, as was the lamonted Judge Green, untiring in his dovotiou to tho duties which devolved upen tho court. Bo that as it may, sickness and death have brought about an unfortunate state of things iu this county, so far as our court business is concerned, which is now only partly reme1 died by the commission of a successor to the lato Judgo Green and which requires tho f reedy restoration to health of his honor, tho president of tho court, to complete it. TALL ELECTION ECHOES. It was during the recent protracted cam paign which involved the election of a suc cessor to Judgo Pershing, and which re suited in his ro-clection, that the events occurred which are referred to in tho be ginning of this communication. The Re publicans of the county had placed a ticket iu the field as early as April, headed by R II. Koch, Esq., then serving hie last year as District Attornoy, and tho Democrats noinl nated in July, placing at the head of their ticket President Judgo Pershing. Mr. , Koch had entered tho field yielding to the solid tations of many members of tuo Bar and other citizens who reckoned on his marked ability, untiring zeal as a lawyer and the exigoncy of court matters which demanded a man just entering tho prlmo of life who combined fitness, courage and activity in his work and whose popularity had hoen shown when ho ran throe years before on the Re publican ticket and was elected in a Demo cratic county. As is always tho case in such contests tho lawyers divided ou this Judge fight, uot politically as iu most other con tests, but for tho sako of policy and to socuro their own ends. Most of the Republicans, however, who remained truo to Mr. Koch did so because of their knowledge of and confidence in his superior attainments and because just such a man was needed ou the Bench, it being very seldom tho oaso that a man of his standing and success at tho Bar oau be induced to relinquish a lucrative practice and tho independence of an advo cate for tho moro confining, exclmlve and sacrificing duties which aro demaudod by a judioial position. The wisdom of making Mr. Koch a candidate was manifested by tho rosult wheu tho winner only won by a little over 1,100 plurality in a county which had given Governor Pattlsou oyer 1,003 majority. Building, therefore, on tho known strength of Koch, the managers of tho opposition knew they had no game of child's play before them and they resorted to any aud all schemes to defeat him. HKfOKTlNG TO HEROIC METHODS. All the machinery of a mammoth and powerful corporation was not sufficient, al though many promises were made by bosses of collieries to men to vote against Koch, and had tbe desired effect, but measures were taken to organiae another and more effective way of insuring the defeat of this popular man, aud one which was as disgracefml as ingenious. A eoterie of lawyers orgauiiwd audfheld secret meetings, and for die pur pose of their crusade, their actions were as guarded as those of the now defunct Mollie Magulre organisation. Their watchword defeat Koch at all hazards was used at all gatherings and every precaution was taken to admit nono but those who had becu previously tested as to their fealty to ouo or other of their party nominees. Heretofore tho court iu this county has been chary in granting licenses to sell liquor aud many men of well known political influence have been heretofore refused the privilege, in many oases, it must be admitted, from Just reasons. Au opportunity to oorral these people into a band which oould be effectively manipulated to join the conspirators iu their campaign now presented Ilceif aud to that end a lUt was made' up of the names of all penoiw who had been refused lioeuses year after year and to it was added the name of hundred who were known would he applicant for new piece this year. aaTTivo now x to wor. WiUt thta Hat the wok began, To attorney we parceled au) a wiaiker id ONE. GENT. aspirants for the liquor soiling pilviiwge aud each mau did his work by teeing his mall and aiinoanolng the deal. They were told that Mr. Kooh, if elected, would be very strict in granting licenses and that their In Urests were at stake In the judioial contest, more so this time than ever before. "Use your influence and your vote for the Demo cratic candidate and we will get you a license." The scheme was collective and Koch was defeated. At once these lawyer" turned in to deliver tho goods; license petitions were printed and sent to the applicants who had been promised, and when they came to be filed in the clerk's office the names of attorneys who never be fore practiced in the license court were en dorsed thereon, and when the hearings came off the whole scheme was exposed. Appli cant after applicant called oh hi former at torney aud excused himself for not employ ing him by divulging tho bargain. To so great an extent was this carried on that one or two members of the ollqne are known to have secured the cases of over fifty new ap plicants, when in year aed they were hardly known to appear in the license court. The divulging of this scheme created a great sensation in certain localities of the county aud it was expected, when the court would make up it i decisions and many licenses were refuted, as they have been, because neither the sourt or any of the Judge have been parties to the deal, that the names of prin cipals and tho whole unembellished story of tho bargain would be told and miuiy hereto fore reputablo lawyors would bo placed in au unenviable light. AND SO IT CAME TO l'A8. Whilo many new licenses were refused, many were also granted nnd prominent among them are quite a number north-of-the- mountaln in place where they were sure to do the most good. For instance, iu a certain ward in Mahanoy City a certain Welsh. Republican, who once kept a licensed place in auother part of the town, applied for a new license for a new location. He was out spoken for the Republican ticket last April when his party convention mot aud nominated aud was often heard to praise, In fact was boistorously outspoken for, Mr. Koch, the candidate for Judge. But after the Demo crats had nominated and the intriguing liquor lawyers got to work he was easily persuaded to fly the truck and many and oft in his ouph he would tell his companions about the promise he had made to assist in Kooh' defeat in payment of which lie was to be one of the favored few when the new licenser were de-alt out And it came to pass. Hit, name was handed down last Tuesday and hit goods were delivered to him marked granted. Ho made haste to come to Pottsville and tak up his paper, fearful that before he ooul.l grasp the coveted prize something might happen and he wouldn't get it at all. And then he got fall and told the story ov r again. A I.KAQITB AND A JOINT. It is not charged that some of the favored ones would uot have been favored without the aid of tho L. L. L. (.the name which hat been applied to thi league) because, as I havo Intimated, the L. L. L. acted without the knowledge or sanction of any member of the Bench, but it Is certain that tlicy so played upon the feelings, fears and hopes of a ni-mbi r of new applicants and formerly refused ones, as to secure their influence iu compassing the defeat of the one they oppcmid and the olection of their choen one. And now to even up matters certain other things are going to happen. A list is being prepared of all thoce 'who wero promised licenses (whether they were successful or not) who worked against the election of their party candidate; aud that list will be kept for future use. Some of these fellows will very soon won der how every illegal net of theirs so sud denly becomes known; how It is, in fact, that thoy cannot sell liquor on Sunday or to minors without the fact becoming known to certain persons, and very soon somo of these fellows will be brought before the court to answer for violations of the law, aud then all of the schemes oi the.L. L. L. will oome to light and it may also transpire who oomprno the firm of GUISEI'PK Nictmbini & Co., Liquor License Joint, Pottsville, Pa. N. 15. Special arrangements with the Court Clerk. N.
