Thestuteameu of Sobuylkill eon nty which bM mora politicians to the square inch tint it njr other section of the state r showing efidenves f renewod rigor, especially those in the Republican ranks. Just t present interest centres iu the future course of Presi dent MoKinley and the "plums" that are to drop fro.u the exeeutlvo table at the White House. The ruling of l'ostinaster Geary, to theeflVct tlmt Democratic postmasters will be allowed to sorve nut their four years, causes the applicants fur appointment roMch less disconiforture than do the civil service rale. It is generally believed, auil with a great de il of apparent assurance, that the l'resideiit will ii iid some way to remove Democratic o31co-liolders and substitute thoso of his own pjlitical faith man who fought hi battles aud who are deserving of recognition. Tboau who are close to the "fountain bead" say that several plans have been decided upon, and if they fail tbut the civil service rules will be suspended long enough to allow the well-fed Dernorrats to walk out and the hungry ltepuulieaii In assume tlicir positions. Ou the ot.u-r hand, (hero aro tho-w who be leive that MeKluley favors an honest en forcement of the eivll service rules. Our own representative, Congressman Charles X. firumm, paM Ula reepecta to the President this week and was well pleased with his reception. He wag one of a party of Penniylvania representatives championed by State Senator Penrose. The object was to ask for certain appointments, among the number being that of Lloyd T. Kohrhack, of Northumberland county, who is anxious to sumvd Grant Herring as revenue collector for the Twelfth district. Senator Penrose is almost a daily visitor to the White limine, ami ho introduced the delegation, each of them presenting some request for official consideration. Will Schuylkill county receive a state appointment? is a 'xuestinn that is btiiijf freely asked. There are so far two aspirants for positions, with large salaries attached, anil probably a half liundrod dark horses waiting for the lightning to strike them. Prom present indications It looks liko Schuylkill will be conceded the Naval Olliccr f the Port of Philadelphia, although the Senator from this district in wild to be making a strong bid for Jamej 11. Eellly's position as United States Marshal. John V. Finney is an avowed candidate for lho former ofllce, and has the endorseniont of many of the state and county leaders. There are thoso who profess to believe that tho Major is a Biire winner. Speaking of federal appointments, brings to mind the rumor relative to the political Triumvirate, composed of three Eepublican leaders, formed to control the deetlniesof the party in this county. It comprising a prominent follower of Blackstoue claiming the county seat as his residence, and a repre sentative from north of the mountain, with the third member residing below the moun tain. The latter is said to be only too willing to seek more congenial companions, and as a result of this feeling new combinations will be formed, it is stated, iu the very near future, and it will not be to the liking of at l'jastoue member of the piesent Triumviral. Prospective candidates for county offices are becoming more active. The bene of con tention is the Shrievalty nomination, no lew than half a dozen faithful Republicans being in tho hands of their friends with longing eyes towards this most luscious plum. Shen fibdoah baa two candidates, and at least one of them will make the contest interesting on the home stretch. lie will havo a say, and a big one, too, when tho county convention assembles. The contest for this nomination bids fair to be an exceedingly interesting one. It is said bv those who appoar to know 1 that the voters will be called upon to elect two, and probably three, Judges next fall. Oue of them will retire even if the retiring bill does not pass the Legislature. In that event the formation of new alliances among the Republican loaders will follow. The frieads of Congressman Brunim are urging him to allow tbe use of his name iu connec tion with judicial honors, but so far he has fought shy and refuses to consider the pro position. In the evont of a vacancy on tho Beach, Mr. Bruinm may change his mind and become a candidate. Ills friends would regret to see him retire from tbe halls of Congress, even toassunie the judicial ermine; yet they profess to see iu such retirement a fitting tribute to his ability and a position of ten yean tenure worthy of their favorite. Mr. Hruunn's nomination would be equiva lent to an election, and it is this view of the case that actuates those who are urging tbe Congressman to become a candidate iu the event of a vacancy ou tbe lleuch. In discussing Mr. Brawm's probable re tirement from Congress, tbe HepubLican leaders very naturally turn their at! tuition to bis snucMSor. There ate sevur.il who would like to step in his shoes, at least two from north of ts uteontaln. It would be well, however, far tlte politicians to keep tbefr eyes opest. A prominent young Repub lican, with high oratorical abilities and a worthy successor to Mr. llrumni, is being quietly groomed for the nomination, and his friends are only awaiting the decision of tbe Congressman to make public announcement ef their favorite's candidacy. The aunounce meat is likely to cause consternation in a certain quarter where tbe Congressional bee has beeu buzzing for some time. The rumor that William Wilhelm, Esq , v. ill le nominated for Judge by the Silvtr Democrats, providing the meu who are at the head of the Democratic party in thb county do not resign, is lmule from tbe whole cloth. In the first place, Mr. Wilhelm is not seeking nor would he accept the nomination fur Judge ; iu the second place, Judge Bechtel Will be tbe Democratic nominee. Mr. Wil helm prefers, so his friends argue, to battle in the ranks as a private ft,r the cause ef stlvor. This statement is made, of course, In the event of free silver acniu being an Issno, which is not at all probable. Whether a candidate for Judge or not. Mr. Wilhelm will continue an important Aittor in the politics of Schuylkill o.ur.ly, and thoie who truv, liis path have ocrnsi n t l;:i jtv It. The contest next fall Btvnnise to be n ! lively one within the ranks of tho Ropnbllcan tarty. 'I he candidates aro already casllng loniugeye toward 6kiuinMh, and they are "netting up" del.

Despite tli Mlookade of Crete, Wnr l'repn ratlorift Still Continue. London, March 19. 1'opular opinion In Greece, says The Times correspond ent at Athens, imperatively demands an early declaration of war with Tur key. The iioa is that Europe would then be compelled to adopt a neutral attitude. It is arnued that the Greek fleet could conquer the islands In the Aegean, Including Samoa, while the Greek army, assisted by Insurgent bands, could rapidly overrun Mace donia. It is suggested that, as the conditions in Crete do not give a suf ficient pretext for a declaration of war a more valid excuse can be found in the refusal of Turkey to concede to Greece the territory assigned to her at the Berlin conference. The official announcement of the blockade of Crete did not produce much ot a display of feeling either in the boule or on the part of the public. The sinking of the Greek vessel by the Se benlco. on the other hand, is denounced ! with indignation as a crime committed by a civilized state. Groat quantities of provisions and stores have been sent to Crete. It is believed that they will easily run the blockade, especially If the weather happens to be rough. There Is no ces sation in the military preparations. Or celt Warstilp Snnli. Canea, March 19.

GORDY A 'SECOND HOLMES, Tho Coroner's Jury Holds 111m Itoipon slble for Ills Ilride's Doolh. Wilmington, March 19. It. C. White, attorney general of Delaware, who has been In charge of the collection of evi dence against JameB M. Gordy, ao cused of the murder of his bride at Georgetown, compares Gordy to H. II. Holmes, and says that his (Gordy's) crimes have been even more atrocious than those fastened upon the murder er Holmes. Mr. White expects to prove that Gordy was Instrumental in the Jeaths of his first wife and his father, as well as the murder of his bride a few days ago. An Insatiable greed for money Is given as the incentive to tho crimes. At Georgetown last night the coro ner's Jury in the Gordy case rendered the following verdict: "That Mrs. Mary Gordy, alias Mary Lewis, of New York, came to her death from wounds upon the head Inflicted by some blunt In strument In the hand's of James M Gordy, with felonious Intent."

Memphis, March 19 Last night the great flood claimed five more victims. Near Marlon, Ark., Etta Llx and her four children were trying to make their way to Mai Ion for shelter, and while attempting to cross a railroad trestle the strong current overwhelmed the party and all perished. The oldest child was a girl of 1 years of age and the youngest an infant of 8 months. Th river is still rising at Memphis, and the Indications nre that It will con tinue to do so for Mm time to come. The river stands At 86.0 feet, a rise since yesterday morning of one-tenth. The conclusion as to a continuation in the rise is based upon the fact that the rise Is conttnulns: at Cairo and that heavy rains are reported in all districts 'which feed the big river, both along the upper portion and the mid dle valley. Throughout the entire northwestern territory, the drainage from which swells the volume of water In the Upper Mississippi, the rainfall continues. The same oondltlons pre vail in the territory which feeds the Ohio and other tributaries, while the heaviest rains ot all are descending oyer the already submerged Arkansas territory. The work of rescue and relief goes forward with unabated seal. Four or five rescue steamers have arrived here, bringing several hundred refugees, nearly allof whom are destitute, to be cared for by the charity of Memphis. The relief committee has its hands full. As long as the oveflow continues funds will be needed to relieve the pressing wants of the sufferers. General ItoloiT Safe In Cuba. New York, March IB.

FRtiR GURE FOR HEN. A Michigan Man Offers to Send Ills Dis covery Fiee, Claims to Be a Benefactor to Weakened Mankind. There Is always more or less suspicion attaohed to anything that is ottered free but sometimes a man so overflows with generosity tUt be cannot rest until his discovery is known to the world, in order that his fellow men may profit by what he has discovered. It is upon this principal that a resident of Kalaroasoo, Mich., desires to send free to mankind a prescription which will cure them of any form of nervous debility, relieves them or all the doubt and uncertainty which aueh wen are peculiarly liable to and restores the organs to natural siae and vigor. As It easts nothing to try the experiment it would seem that any raau, sufleriug with the nervous troubles that usually attack men who never stopped to realize what might bo the final result, ought to be deeply Interested in a remedy which will restore them to health, strength aud vigor, without which they continue to live an existeuce of untold misery. As the remedy in question was the result of many years research as to what combination would be peculiarly effective iu restoring to meu tbe strength they need, it urmil.l sum nil n.V... .... a..

Olds, Box 1712, Kalamazoo, Mich., stating that you are not wilding for the prescription out of idle curiosity, but that you wish to make use of the medicine by giving its trial, will lie answered promptly and without evidence as to where luformation came from. The prescription is sent free and although soiao may womler how Mr. Olds can afford to giveaway his discovery, there is uo doubt about the offer being genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr. Olds so that be may know who you came to write him. 12-a-78t Sick Headache. Neuralgia and Extreme Nervousness.
