Senatorial Candidates lu the Thirtieth IH.trlct I'redleteit The Allen Caie and Its Probable Hesults Special tl Kit ald correspondence. Pottsville, June 23. A prominent can dtdate for Congress complains that all other contests nre overshadowed north ot the mountain by the 30th district Sena torlal fight. This person told your scribe last Monday that he could get no satis faction from the politicians during a recent visit to Shenandoah, Mahanoy City and other towns nnd little else did he hear but talk about 'Squire Coyle and the possibility of beating him with another from Mahanoy City. "You wouldn't think," he said, "thoie people were aware sucn an important omce as uougressiounl representative was to be filled this year, to near them shout over the Senatorial candidate." If such was that candidate's experience, who Is no less a personage than Hon. S, A. Losch, always noted for the faculty of linillng out whatever li going on. whnt must be the experience of others In their peregrinations r let it must be accepted as a fact all other contests sink into utter Insignificance contrasted with the Sena torial fight and It arises from no other cause man tue prospective great unit le on nana ami tue POSITIVE 1'IiOMlNENCK of the men who arc to be the combatants. Little is heard here now of Ex Senator King's movements, and except that he Is engaged 111 tne stillest Kind ot a still hunt he Is "not in It" at all. As to his competitor, and most urobable successful candidate, J. J. Franey, his name Is in every one's mouth. During court week, which always brings prominent people here, his name and chances have been canvassed constantly and if that Is not an evidence that he Is the most thought for for the place I have taken my political lessons in vain. Nothing succeeds like success, thevsav. and from the time Franey's name was first mentioned there has been a constant Increase and swelling of his boom. Iam told that recently a canvass of the dis tricts that once were strongholds for King and his friends. It was found that the people wanted Franey and would listen to the claims of no one else. From this point 01 view, nnu an positiva information centers in the county seat, I regard the outcome of the two conventions as sure for Iraney on the Democratic side and Covle on the Renulilican : so thnt who. ever Is elected, his name will commence with the same two winning letters, J. J, There Is, I am Informed, A SUItriSISE IN STOIIE for us nil to be flashed on us In a very short time. Whnt it is and where from It emanates. If I know it correctly, it is not mine to divulge at present, but it refers to the Sheriff 's office candidacy of some one not yet in the field, whose coming will not ue trtunpet-tongued or louil. but will bring terror, nll.the same, to the several ones who claim to be ahead and on top In the race lust at present. Speaking of this ofllce to one who is away up In political wisdom there came the information that Frank P. Splese's floundering In the mire of Innocuous desuetude, to borrow one of President Cleveland's terms, has reduced him to tne ranks in tne army of omce aspirants. He has now no command as neither a mnn, mouse or long-tailed rat. It should teach him, nnd all other flounderers, Unit wnen tney get siuck on an omce they should go for it and not become wan derers nnd grasners after too innnv. I regard Spiese as neither a possibility as oeumur ur ti uussiuuuy as ouerill, THE ALLEN CASE.

Oloio of the LonR-llrawn- out Case Against CciuiinUiloner Allen, Hpeclal to Evening Herald. Pottsville, June S3. All the evidence in the trial of Commissioner Charles F. Allen was submitted yesterday afternoon, and this morning the lawyers made their addresses to the jury. Very little sub stantial evidence was submitted yesterday afternoon, outside of that of S. A. Losch and W. C. Dunkelberger. Kx District Attorney H. H. Koch testi fied that he had met Mr. Allen upon his (Koch's) own solicitation, nt the rooms of the! Pottsville Club. Allen stated to the witness that he had promised to support Dunkelberger for Warden, nnd could not go-back on it. If the latter was out of the fight ho might support tho witness's man Grcssnng. Koch snld he spoke to Allen about other appointments; urged Allen to support Gressang, and that the evening after ho had conversed with Allen. Gressang and Hnzzard. unou his ndtico, called on Young nt Tamaqua for tue purpose 01 getting uunKeiuerger out of Abe light. Peter Bauer was again called and re lated how Messrs. Allen ami Ulrlch met nt Ins saloon In Schuylkill Haven for the put-pose of having n coaference with S. A. Losch but the latter wns not at home. Arrangements were then made for a meet ing In Pottsville. lion. S. A. Losch was tho next witness. Unstated that he was the prosecutor lu the case, and then went on to detail how Ulrlch made a proposition to him that If the suit was dropped and Mr. Gressang waited until the following rear he would bejmnde warden. The witness was also to have the right to name the mercantile appraiser anil nave tne delegates irom Tivmaqun, Hahn, Rush, Schuylkill, Wnlker nnd West Pen ns for Congress and the Influence of the Commissioner's ofllce. At tills point tho court, allowed the com monwealth to amend the Indictment so ns to charge but two offenses those through George Heffncr and Charles 11 an sc. Frank J. Alber was then called by the defense and denied the testimony ns given by Johu F. Gressang the dav previous. He denied ever having had n conversation witn uressang relative to tne wnruensiilp. W. C, Dunkelberger said lie had a con versation with John F. Gressang In Tama qua at John Young's house. Witness said fie was called to Young's house when Gressang called him Into the parlor nnd stated he (witness) ought to get out of the wardonship fight. Gressang said he him self should have tho place because he (Gressang) had spent considerable money in the campaign. Witness said he could not see why Gressang was any more eu tltled to the place than himself, Gressang then offered him $500 to get out of the fight, Intimating he had the money with him. Nothing was said about Dunkel berger'a financial reverses until the offer of money was made. Gressang called him Into the parlor. On cross-examination the witness stated that Gressang made a direct offer of $500, and when witness re fused to accept the offer, the prlvato con versation with Gressang ended. This ended the hearing of ovideuce, and court adjourned until this morning. To-day's sessions were devoted to the summlngun and charge in thecase. It Is not likely that the case will be given to the jury before four o'clock this evening. AN OFFICIAL KIDNAPPED.

One of the dead men was crushed in the shaft of Maple Hill colliery nnd the other wns killed in tho same mine by a fall of rock. The man who met his death In theshnft was John Punknwtcz, n single mnn who boards In one of tho houses of Lamb's row In the First ward. Mine Inspector Stein was seen late last night, but said he had not been notified of the case and knew nothing of it. From Information gleaned at other sources It was learned that Puukowicz hurried to the bottom o' the shaft after finishing his dny's work and was the last mnn to get on tho cng . Punkawlcz's rush bewildered the bottom man, who said there were more thau ten men on the cage and pulled tho miner back ; but tho next moment ho found thnt Punka wicz was only the tenth man nnd pushed him upon the cnge, which commenced to ascend and almost immediately the un fortunate miner wns caught between the cage and shaft timbers and crushed to death, the body fulling Into the sump. The case will be made a subject of Investigation. The sucond mnn killed was Stlney Korch, a resident of West Coal street. He was employed as a miner In a gang way of Maple Hill colliery aud at a late hour last night wns lnstnntlv killed bv 11 fall of rock.

Tho case of Mrs. Peter Heck, of Green Ridge, near Mt. Carmel, and Jamts Dunstnn, of Shamokin, Is creating wide spread attention nnd If one half the stories told arc true the couple come as near to being brutes In human fotm ns have attracted public notice for some time. Mrs. Heck deserted her family at Mt. Carmel some weeks ago and eloped with Dunstan, but n few days later the latter returned to his family nt Shamokin. The Heck woman Is still missing but is said to be in Wllllamsport. She took all the money her husband had saved, about two hundred dollars, and In nddltlon to being penniless the husband has lost hi work, so thnt the two small children of the family, aged five nnd seven years, nre not only suffering for the want of a mother's care, but are actually starving Their privations have brought ouslcknes-i nnd the neighbors say the children will die. Dunstnn, It Is said, is now attracting the attention of the Shamokin people by maltreating his wife. HASH HAM.. The home mnnngement is getting a strong aggregation of players to meet the Harrlsburgs. Tho game will bo a good one. Secretary Woodoll, of the Vlrgluln base ball league, has waived all claims to Setley and tho player may now sign nud piny where he pleases. Setley pitched for Allentown at Pottsville to-day. Toman has received a letter from the Ulughamptou, N. , management thnt tinless he reports nt that place at once he will be arrested for accenting nnd retain ing iidvanco money. Tonmu says he never took the money from the telegraph ofllce. Six carpenters and twenty-live lnbore s started early this morning to replace the bnso ball grand stand which was destroyed by tire yehterday. They will work uut'd midnight if necessary in order to have tho stand ready for the HnrrMmrg game The new stand will be made of parts from the stand at the trotting track nud will be much lnrger thnn the old one. The destruction of the grand stand at the base ball grounds wns undoubtedly the net of nn Iticeudlnry. There was nothlug within or about the grounds which could have set the place on tire and somebody is responsible for an act which cannot be viewed as excusablo from any standpoint. Some hot-hended crank has been unable to withstand the temptation to resort to the torch. The Lock Haven base ball club is in flnanclnl straits, says the Lock Haven Democrat. Some of the players have not received their pay for a month. Manager McNernej' says that the gnte receipts have not been sufficient to meet the ex penses of the club, which nre between $000 and T00 a month. A meeting of the manager and players wns held and the situation gone over. The unpaid players gnve notice that unless their salaries were forthcoming they would not pUy any longer. Manager McNerney replied that ho could not, and would not, go down Into his pocket to mnkc up the balance. The propriety of organizing n stock com pany wns then discussed, but no definite conclusion wns reached. Slaklug MettBuremeiils.
