PottsvIXLK, Oct. 13th, 1803.
U f ' ,'gUST after tho Renubli.
can convention hud
concluded Its work and
placod in nomination,
with other candidate,
a noniliico for tho place
made vacant by tho
death- of Hon. D. II.
Qroen, many of our
wisest politicians shook
thoir heads dubiously and said it was a vain
attempt to get a Republican rcprosentatlvo
on tho Bench this year; that William D.
Soltzer, lq., could not bo elected and all that
sort of things. Now must of these peoplo
havo changed thoir minds and thoy not only
begin to look at Mr. Seltzer as a possibility,
but some of them go so far as to say that his
chancos of election aro bottor than Judge
Wcidnian's.
I will toll you what has caused this great
change
Thero was, you will remember, considerable
opposition to tho nomination, of a candidate
for Judge in the Republican convention and
these oppossra were believed to bo actuated
because Mr. Seltzer's nomination was a fore
gone conclusion and they, wore .believed to bo
against him first, last and all tho time. But
It didn't take long for Mr. Seltzer and his
friends to demonstrate that ho had a strong
following in tho county, and ho vory soon
slod up as a very strong candidate. This
brought undor his standard all tho lcadors of
tho anti-nomination crowd of tho convention
mid thoy are now among tho strongest sup
porters Mr. Soltzer has. They tak and
work for Saltzer, Sbortall, Severn, Samuels
and tho whole Republican tickot, and you
would ho surprised if yon could seo In print a
mlnuto calculation of tho power of thosomcu
to aid a candidate when 'they aro roally In
earnest, as they aro in this light.
TIIK MILK IN THE COCOANUT.
In addition to this indicative strong support
of tho Republican nominee for. Judge by
those who woro oxpectod to oppose him, word
comes to tho ear-of your Bpribo that "quite a
fow" (as a Seltzer Democrat puts it) promt
ncnt Democratic pollticUus north of the
mountain aro working secretly for Seltzer
Others in this neighborhood who will not
openly support him will not oppose him, and
tho milk in the ooooanht is accounted for
follows: A feeling has been engendered,
nursod and taken unto itself great shape
during the past two weeks, that thoro will he
another Judge contest next year, bocauso as
soon as it becomes st posllivo certainty that
Judge Porshmg will never again, on account
of ill health, bo ablo to rosumb active duties
on tho Bench, he will resign and give tho
people a chance to havo three working Judgos
in heavy harness which 'tho dispatch of
rapidly accumulating legal business sadly
needs, It is argued that tho Republicans
should have a representative on a bench of
three Judges and they might as well get that
representation this year as next year. Mr.
Seltzer is just as well qualified for Judgo as
any Republican lawyer at tho Bar of this
county and this fact Is becoming more and
more apparent ovcry day as his active life
and practice as a lawyer of thirty years'
standing is reviewed.
For thoso roasons, coupled with others
which I may speak of in another letter, I
would not bo surprised if William D. Seltzer's
name would bo written in the noxt judicial
commission which is sent hero from Harris
burg.

List ovoning's Pottsvlllo Chronicle con

which lias given many of Setley's friends in
this tojv'n sonio concern : "Sotley, who has
recently signed with us, has a groat many
admirers for his fino playing, especially in
Shenandoah. His relcaso from tho club of
that place did not meet with tho general
approval of tho Shenandoahitos, and his
signing with Pottsvlllo has caused much
bitter feeling against him.
This culminated last evening in what it is
bclio . ed was an attempt on his life. At tho
close of tho gamo Setloy, with several others
of tho Pottsvlllo playors, jumped aboard
electric car No. 13 to bo taken into town.
Shortly after the oar had paBsed Dimmer.
ling's Hall and had gained considerable
momentum, some person whoso namo is as
yet unknown, from concealment behind a
fence on the north side of tho street, fired his
revolver point blank.at tho oar. The Bpoed
at which tho car was running, rendered tho
miscreant's aim uncertain, uud the bullet
struck one of tho ventilator windows above
tho spot and directly opposite whore Sotley
was sitting.
The loaden mtolo went through tho glass,
making a round hole In its passage, and
passed out of an opon window on tho other
side of the car. Several partloles of the
broken glass dropped into Setley's lap.
A number of the passengers aboard the oar
believed that some enemy of Setley's made
an attempt to shoot htm. Sctley himself
hardly knows what to think of tho occur

escape for him."

Tho I'ottsilllo Club Gives the Ilolne Team
it Had Hutting.
It seems that tho home team is rapidly
going to pieces and its fine record of the
season Is to be shattered by a string of
miserable defeats. Yesterday .the team sus
tained its second successive defeat at tho
hands of the Pottsvilles. The game only
continued six innings and Shenandoali was
beaten by a score of 13 to 7. Setley and
Potts were the Pottsville battery and Betts
and Messltt filled the mints for Shenandoah.
The latter club had twelve errors and the
rottsvilles but threo. Setley struck out three
men and Betts o.ie. Tho batting was terrlfio
on both sides, Shenandoah having 12 hits
and Pottsvlllo 11. The percentage of tho
home team has now dropped to 567, the
lowest iu two months, and will probably be
much near the 500 mark before tho return
irom Williainsport to-morrow night.

but tho caso which
prompts this report Is
ono which not only Interests tho town, but
has aroused tho peoplo to a high point of in
dlgnation overy respoctahlo man and woman
who has hoard of it.
lhe prisoner beforo Justico Toomoy was
ono of the most prominent saloonlsts of the
town, in fact a man who has for sovoral yens
figured among tho most prominent of men
who havo taken an intcrost in tho public
affairs of tho community. Last night ho
was obliged to step forward to a charge of
assault and battery with intent to kill his
wlfo, a woman who boars a record as being
highly rcspectablo and dovotcd to her family's
interests.
Tho prisoner, through his counsel, J. II,
Pomoroy, Esq., ploadod not guilty to tho
charge above recited, and also to two others.
Ho also waived a hoariug and furnished
$500 bail on tho first charge, $300 on a chargo
of surety of tho place, and $300 on a chargo
of nou Support, $1,100 bail In all. Tho wife.
who made all tho charges, was represented by
M. M. Burke, Esq.
This caso is not ono which grows out of
those commonplace "family jar" affairs.
from incompatibility of temp r, or inter
ference of a mother in-law, or other
relatives.
It is tho culmination of ono of those
many cases In town in wnich tho happiniss
of families is bolng undermined by women
who will sacrifico their virtue and lives to

men's admiration.
Tho prlsonor in this case, according to th
wife's story, has been tho paramour of a
young woman residing on West Centre street
for sovoral months past. It is claimed that
with little troublo It can be shown that tho
pair have boen enjoying the ploasures of life
repeatedly at Pottsvlllo, Hozleton and othor
points, while the ono whom the prisoner had
solemnly vowed to love, honor and obey was
really suffeiing for tho want of necessaries of
HFe.
This displcable pair is deserving of the
severest condemnation and each may thank
