To Iho Kdltorof iIjo 1Ikkai.ii Will you please give tlio following article Bpticu in tlio rolu inn a of your paper : No contrast oould le more sharp or markou between opponents for any office tliau In the two candidates for Recorder. Mr. Jcnkln Is a type of the best product of the worklnmuaii, with diligent application, taking advantage of the iKitcli school. tie newspapers and Sunday school library to acquire knowledge am! Iltliitnsolf for Ameri can citisenthlp. Although a student of till country's Institutions, be best exemplifies lils love for stnie hy a nnirliel dovotion to home. If n clean business administration of a trust oflice and a sincere devotion to family and fireside are creditable to a tunn, then Mr. Jeukj'ii well deserves consideration at the liuuds of well thinking people. If tho matter of having two profitable liquor stores under ono roof is a measure of business capacity, It must bo conceded that Sir. Nlcbter has a mint and that lie has gained a reputation lor generosity by a lavish display of fast horses, mouoy .and diamonds, aurt by tho distribution of free d rinks. It is upon his business and his prosperity that Mr Nichter is depending for his election. While a man engaged in a double-barreled liquor bukiness may well afford a generous distribu tion ot free drinks to thirsty degenerates to get their votes, is it not a reflection on the flro companies, social clubs and other organ izations fur him to boldly claim that the voters in these organizations are being reached by this kind of lavish entertainment? Is not such a boast an insult to their good moral sense and Ideals of citizenship? If men are free citizens, Is It not moro fitting to re buke the methods employed by Mr. Nichter as wub douo in 1893 .by vigorous protest of the citizens ngaiust his appointment when bis name was up before Court for Commissioner ? If tho voters of the lounty were to be bought for the prico of drink, Mr. Nichter would indeed bo highly favored of fortune in that no other man in tho county is in a position to buy at such a bargain, lint. though Mr. Nichter aud his friends boast of the firmou whoso votes are to be landed for him because of tbo supplies to be furnished to them from his wholesale aud retail shop, still tbo good people of tbe county are not prepared to believe that Jlr. Nichter can have any such advantage and support as he claims because of a liberal distribution of bis articles of commerce. Ilavo tbe voters ever had a more favorable opportunity to enter a righteous protest against this form of campaigning than they now have in making a choice between Mr, Jeukyn and Jlr. Nichter for Recorder of Deck's? Observer. ly csville, Pa., Nov. 3. 1899. A Successful limit. Not for mauy years have rabbits been so plentiful as they arc this seasuu. . All of the local hunters who enjoyed tho opening days of the season came home- with well tilled game bags, reporting plenty of rabbits and quail.

Jeff ries retains the championship of the world, Referee George Slier giving him the decision at the end of tho twenty fifth round over Sailor Tom Sharkey, at the Coney Iilntul Sporting club last night. It wrb .one ot the most mar- elous battles that has taken place, and the greatest crowd that ever gathered the Coney Island club house wit nessed the desperate strugglo for su premacy. In five rounds Jeffries had tho bet ter of the fight, In the first two and In the last three. During the other HO Sharkey forced the Issue, and like a bull torrlor was at his man with both hands unceasingly. . In those 20 rounds Jeffries' great weight and brawn help ed him to hold off the sailor, and In the twenty-second round ho swung In a couple of vicious uppqreuts that mado Sharkey groggy. Tom camo back gain In the twenty-fourth and twenty- llfth, but he was weakened greatly by Jeffries' vicious blows. One minute before the gong sounded to end the fight Jeffries' left glove camo off, and practically ended the contest. The referee motioned to Jeffries cor ner, an American flag was flung around the champions shoulders and the crowd on that side and end of thu 5cKocrcr"'5 Tho snhject of this brief sketch is T)l,, ,1 7 J known In every eleo- Froucj KCC tion district in Schuylkill county, and his name is a household word, and his reputation Is as wido as the state of I'eunsylvanla. Hon. John T. Scboener, the Republi can candidate for Clerk of the Courts, was born In South Manheim township, and is now a resident of Orwigsburg. On his father's sido his great-grand-father, Frederick ITesjer, had tbe distinction of being with Washington at Valloy Forge. Mr. Scboener received a good common school education and further fitted himself for tbo sphere of life for Which bo- seems to be specially adapted by a course at Henne pin, III. At the end of four years he grad uated. Taking up the profession of school teaching ho taught six years in Hennepin, 111., North Manheim, East Brunswick and Orwigsburg respectively. In 1873, with Messrs. Moyer and Holy as partners, ho started up Orwfgsburg's first Bhoe factory aud through the application of correct busi ness principles aud untiring Industry he made it a successful venturo. Personally Mr. Scboener is possessed of those elements of character which win the respect and esteem of all with whom ho comes in contact, and, as a natural conse quence, his friends are to bo found In every walk of life. His re-election as Clork of the Courts, which now seems assured, will mean arena cheered wildly. The crowd on the opposite end, In Sharkey's corner, yelled for Sharkey, and tho men were led back to their dressing rooms. The thousands of spectators were banked 40 feet high In the building, the place being packed from ringside ( to rafters, and the aisles around the ring wero lined. Tho tremendous crowd sweated under the glare of 400 arc lights, erected by the moving pic ture people, 15 feet or less from the canvas or tho squared circle. The heat was intense. The fighters wera almost exhausted, and the spectators shrieked themselves hoarse. Jt seemed at first as though It would be a short fight, for in the second round Jeffries put tho sailor to tho ropes with a left on the Jaw, and the referee began to call oft the seconds as Sharkey kneeled on the iloor. But from the third round on Shar- l:ey, with his vicious swings to tho ribs and the jaw, kept the crowd on Its feet waiting for a knockout. Jeffries stood the terrific punishment, and with his eye, nose and ear split, came hack just as viciously In the last three rounds and almost retrieved him self. Then camo the unfortunate and unsatisfactory ending, Jeffries' glove Cylng off, bringing the fight to an end, although the crowd urged Sharkey to rush in and end It. This he tried to do, but Jeffries fought him back, and Referee Slier rushed to the rescue. It was noticeable that Jeffries used his weight to Its best advantage, throwing himself all over the sailor, but the lat ter did his share of the hugging, too, and both were warned repeatedly. The majority of those at the ring side hardly thought Sharkey would get worse than a draw, for the sailor fought viciously, always after his man, with good judgment, and outpointed the champion. On tho other hand, Jeffries, while he had the better, by long odds of the last three rounds, did very little leading In the other 22, and when ho led he was either too high or too low, getting In but tew good punches. Ten thousand spectators Gathered BSOIUITEEV'PURE Mokes the food more ROYAL HAKINa around the ringside.' Though Coney Island was swept by a gals, the cars came down crowded to the guards In a swiftly moving line, and the sports waded to the narrow entrances lead ing to the arena. At 8:80 there were 6,000 In the building, and later the boxes filled to overflowing. All manner ot men were there, and among those well known were ex chamt'lons James J. Corbett and John L. Sullivan, Kid McCoy, Peter Maher. Ueorge Dixon, Senator Tim Sullivan and Assemblyman Timothy V. Sul livan, Jacob Schaefer, George Slotson and Parson Davles. The referee was George Slier, ot Chi cago. Jeffries had behind him Hilly Dolany, Krnest Hoeber, Tommy Ryan and his brother. Jack Joffrles. Shar key was led to the southwest corner by Tom O'llourke. and was attended by George Dixon. .Morris Kolly and Tim McGruth. O'llourke superintending the entire proceedings. Sharkey had on green trunks, with an American flag for a belt, and the champion wore Mack. Jeffries weighed 212 pounds and Sharkey 25 pounds less, but the latter looked to be In better condition, the Cnllfornlan being callow and havlug staring eyea, and giving other evi dences of not the best condition. The betting at tho start was $100 to $70 on Jeffries. A preliminary bout of ten rounds at 12S pounds preceded tho big event, and Kid Grmletto, of Rochester, who looked a great deal like Jeffries on a small scale, was beaten by Tommy Morun, of Brooklyn. When seen In his dressing room af ter the contest Jeffries said: "Sharkey Is the hardest and best man I ever met, and I hardly expect to meet n better in the future. I will now take a long rest, probably nine months or a jear. Never again will I tight under the same conditions. The heat from the lights overhead tended to take away a great doal of my steam, ana the glare from the floor weakened my : eyes. My left arm, the one that was Injured while training, gavo out In the frnfrth round, else I think that I could have knocked him out." ShWkey was Inconsolable and cried His Record His Proudest rionument tho success of an upright, deserving mau, one who has faithfully guarded every trust bestowed upon him by his fellow citizens. Naturally a public spirited man ho has always taken an active interest In politics, and has fur many years been prominently identified with the political movements of our county. Ho was elected a member of the Legislature in lS73as the nominee of the lie- Hon. John T. Scuoeneu. publican Greenback party. During his term he was largely instrumental In securing an appropriation of 60,000 for the purpose of erecting the Miners' hospital now located at Fountain Springs, a great and enduring monument to his labors in the interest of tho worEingmen of the anthracite region. Some Tike a child" when he went to his quar ters, and refused to talk, but Ton O'llourke, his manger, expressed the opinion that the sailor should have re ceived the decision. He said that two ot Sharkey's ribs were broken, and that during the last four rounds Tom's left hand was useless, having been broken on Jeffries' head. He said Sharkey would seek another match.

Th right of.the wheels of a heavy wiuroti loaded with coal paming over the legs of a young man who was lying prostrate in tbe mud on the street was an occasion of con siderable excitement on East Centre street, opposite the Swift meat market this morning. The victim under tbe wheels was a Lithu anian about 30 years old and named John MichloeawicE. Ho resides with his parent at No. 101 South I'each alley. After the passing of ths wagon the young man remained proetrato in tho mud, moaning and wriggling In pain. Several employes of the meat market, under direction of Sam Sumle, picked tho victim up and carried him to the market. It was then believed that both legs of tho victim were broken. They weto powerless. A stretcher was improvised aud MichloaawicK was carried to his home, where lie was attended by Dr. V. Is. Stein. lie was then taken to the Miners' hospital. An examination showed that both bones of his left leg wero fractured just above the anklo. The right log was not broken.

Hon. Patrick Conry aud other colleagues of the subject of this sketch will substantiate that statement. Mr. Schocucr introduced the bill In tho Legislature for tho erection of the hospital and bis speech on that ocassion shows very plainly that as a legislator he early evinced an interest in the welfaro of his constituency, largely of the workiug class. Mr. Schooner, however, is only too willing to accord tho other repre sentatives from this county eaual credit with himself in socuring tho necessary ap propriation, for without their hearty slstanco ho nor no other single individual would have been unsuccessful. There enough glory in that achievement for all. lint not alono for that reason does Mr. Scboener seek the suffrage of his fellow clth zens. He stands squarely upon his record as a public official. As Clerk of tho ( has honestly exercised the trust committed to him impartially, without fear or favor. He hat no political entanglements, and hia nnnn. larity was fully attested when no other name was presenteu at tho nominating convention. .Mr. bclioener is a power of strength to the Republican ticket, and it is safe to say that no will succeed himsi-If as Clerk of the vxmris. but slipped and foil beneath the wheels with tne rrsultstaied. i wo otner victims were under tho ero of ur. stem to day.
