Ni|(:n Railroad I'd It ion*. If any man, says the Sentinel , signs the petition placed out by the Philadelphia ami Reading Company he is ignorant of , his plain duty as a citizen. Look at this clause: With the legal questions before your Attor- J ney General in connection with the leases and j agreements between several corporations af fected by this consolidation, we have nothing to do. As citizens of the State and interested directly in her and their welfare, we respect fully submit to you that the Intent of the con- 1 fltitution to protect the material interests of the j people of our own State will be best subserved j by the fulfillment of the plans comprehended t by the leases and agreements in question. Have you nothing to do with obeying the laws? As a citizen are you not bound to live up to tiie constitution of the State? Reiyl that clause carefully. Wfiat do you know about the leases and agreements it mentions? Why were these leases and agreements not made public so that you might be aide to judge as to whether the best intereste of the State would be subserved? These leases have not been made public. They have been given to the Attorney General on the promise that they would not he made public. Do you want to take the word of these schemers? If ever an unscru pulous corporation prepared a tricky pe * tition this law-breaking Beading concern hos here the barest false pretense yet [ foisted upon the public. If this consoli dation can be made without violating j tht law, well and good, but if the law : must be violated to make it then the i men who made the deal are criminals, and it is too bad, as Governor Pattison | says, that they cannot be reached by law and turned into jail birds. This j miserable and exasperating petition that has been sent out, urging people to ask the administration to ignore the law ami | the constitution, will find plenty of sign- I ers, but it is enough to make the blood of an honest citizen boil with indigna- I tion to see these stock broking gamblers set all law at defiance then ask their in jured victims to approve their crime. ST. PATRICK'S DAY. Delegate* I roni the Societle* Meet anl Make Preparation*. Delegates from the loot. i s nnected I with St. Ann's Church and the &reen Men met on Monday evening ami made arrangements for the annual parade hen on March 17. In order that the parade may take place as early as possible it was decided to have mass read at 8.3(1 A. M., after which the line will immediately form and proceed to Freeland. James Harkins, of Drifton. was chosen chief marshal and the marshal of each society will act as aid to him. The sec retary of the meeting was instructed to send an invitation to participate to every Catholic society in the parish. The route of parade agreed upon was as fol lows: After leaving the church down Ridge to Carbon, to Washington, to Front, to Pine, to Walnut, to Ridge, to South, to Centre, up Centre to Walnut and coun termarch down Centre to Carbon.

The "New Boy Tramp," with the talented young comedian. Augustin Neu ville, in the title role, will be here to morrow evening. This play, when pre sented under the old version last season, was excellent, but with the alterations and additions it is an improvement. In the old where the scenes were a little slow, they have been cut out and bright, catchy parts substituted, making the new interesting throughout. The support is perfect. Randolph Murray, the vidian, lias an excellent conception of his part, and presents it true to life. Reni Perselle, Lorena D'Arcy and Lillian Barlow are exceptionally good in there respective parts. Miss Barlow and Edward Rogers introduce some pleasing specialties. The performance taken as a whole is a meritorious one, and deserves to draw a large audience.

Blanks for Putting the Law into Operation Issued. j A SPECIMEN BALLOT FOR THE NO- J VEMUEK ELECTION AM) THE OF FICIAL BALLOT BOX SENT TO COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. The county commissioners have just received from Secretary of the Common wealth Harrity copies of the forms of blanks provided for putting the new ballot bill into operation, a sample of the official ballot box and a copy of the new ballot law. The blanks consist of a certificate of nomination, a nomination paper, a specimen 01 an official ballot, a 'Y l " r '' l the county commissioners and sheriffs, certifying nominations, with letters of transmittal tottieiD>offinlaln. and a watcher a certificate. The most interesting of the blanks . the specimen ballot which will be voted at the November election. It is 19 inches long by 15 inches wide, divided into four columns. The first column contains the names of the Republican candidates—32 for Presidential Electors, two for Con gressman-at-Large, one for Judge of the ■Supreme Court, one for Congress, one for the Senate, one for Representative, i one each for Sheriff, Recorder, and the other county offices to be voted for. The second column has the names of the j Democrats for the same offices, the third column the names of the Prohibi tionists, and the fourth column is left blank to permit the voter to write the names of candidates not printed on the ballot. Alongside of the name of each candidate is a small blank space for the voter to mark the cross, which indicates his choice. If a citizen desires to vote i for ail the candidates of one partv lie I can do so by placing a cross along-ide of llie title of the party, at the head of the column containing the names of the candidates of that party. Attached to the specimen ballot is a stub which is to be bound in book form and numbered consecutively, and from which the ballot is to be separated when it is given to the voter. This stub con tains, besides the number, the inscrip tion that it is the official ballot of a certain election district, the date of the election given and the names of the county commissioners. On the back of the ballot is the same inscription, which is to be exposed when the voter presents the ballot to the election officer, to pre vent the voting of a blank piece of paper and the carrying away the ballot. The upper corner has a gummed edge, to be pasted over the number of the ballot. The certificate of nomination is a blank to be filled out by the presiding officer and two secretaries of tiie convention nominating candidates for office. It certifies that the candidates were named at a convention representing the party whose title is given. Then follow the names of the candidates with their business, places of residence and. the title of the office for which they were nominated. On the back is the form of | affidavit subscribed to by the presiding officer and secretaries of the convention that the nominations are valid. The nomination paper is a blank to be signed by electors desiring to place in nomination candidates for cfiioe without the medium of a convention. These papers have to be signed by one-half of one per centum of all the electors in the Stale if the candidate is nominated for a State office. In the ease of all other nominations the number of signers shall at least be 3 per centum of the largest entire vote cast at the preceding election in the district in which the nomination is to be made. When this is complied with the secretary of the commonwealth is compelled to put the names of the can didates thus nominated on the official ballot. The watchers' certificate is a blank filled out by the county commissioners, giving authority to a citizen to remain in the voting room. Each party is entitled to three watchers in each division, but only one watcher of each party is en titled to be in the room at one time. The sample ballot box is of oak, about 28 ineties each way. It lias a ponderous appearance, although neatly made. A patent lock holds down the lid, which is made overlapping, like that of a trunk. The slot in the top, through which the ballots are to be inserted, is guarded by an iron lid, held in place by a cam and spring latch. It can only be removed to admit the "blanket sheet" by unlocking the box and springing it from the inside. The idea of this is to keep the box intact until the time for voting arrives; then it will be opened in the presence of the election officers and watchers, and the shield removed, When the polls are c.osed the shield can be snapped into place, thuß sealing the box. lfa/.leton I'tiyn the SSOO License. A case which was of deep interest to Hazleton saloon men was heard before all three judges Monday morning. It is that of Doolittle vs. County Treasurer John 8. McGroarty. Mr. Doolittle is a hotel keeper of Hazleton and the treasurer refused to give him a license unless he paid $50(1 for it, arguing that now that Hazleton is a city it should receivt SSOO the same as Wilkes-Barre, instead of $l5O, which aas paid pre viously lor each license. The plaintiffs argued that a SSOO license could not be demanded until the recently elected officials met and organized. The defen dants took the ground that Hazleton was a city as soon as the charter was granted, and that as a city a license would cost SSOO. The decision was announced yesterday, and it upholds the county treasurer, thus compelling Ilazle tonians to pay SSOO for the privilege to sell. A Card of Thank*. At a meeting of the Tigers Athletic Association resolutions were passed thanking St. Patrick's Cornet Band for its attendance, the Sisters of Mercy and business people for the use of decora tions, and tiie public in general for the liberal manner in which the ball on the 29th ult. was patronized. Despite the inclement weather almost SIOO was re alized by the ball. The llurgoNH Make* a Start. During the past few days mucli com plaint was heard by business people and others of the annoyance caused by small boys throwing snowballs on the s'reets. Burgess Gallagher last night stationed liis force along Centre Street, and about 1) o'clock the gang appeared at the corner 1 of Main, where they opened up on a traveling agent who was passing. One of the crowd was immediately arrested and taken to the lockup, where he was kept repenting in darkness for an hour. Five minutes after the arrest it was im . possible to find a small boy in any part .i of the borough. They had made the (lis-! | covery that the town has a burgess, and ; all future capers must he cut in the j Points or somewhere outside of Smoody's j I jurisdiction. Mr. Gallagher intends to i keep order in the part of the town which j t |is under his control, even if it requires j ■ the whole force of nineteen officers. , CANNON IN TROUBLE. Ho Loses llis l.i<-ciis<> and TH*h to Get L | Revenge in Poor Way. Paddy Cannon, tne well-known sprin tci. wli i m "11 v reoMml here, was among the number refuse licenses at LWilkes-Barre this year. According to , tin. z./.,/.i,c attempted i" obtain re ; venge in a manm. ig cenaln cause him lots of trouble 11 uii Monday afternoon be anaulted Tom i , I Ryder, a Stcord reporter, in most , I brutal and outrageous manner. Mr. ; ! Ryder was in front of I.oomiH Hall when : Cannon came up to him, and after emitting his usual amount of profanity, accused Mr. Ryder of being the cause of ' liitn losing his license. Before the latter j could reply Cannon struck him a couple j of terrible blows felling him to the pave ment. Mr. Ryder attempted to get up and was again knocked down by the infuriated sport. At this juncture Offi cer Joneß appeared on the scene ami took Cannon in o custody. He was taken tiaek to the police station where Chief Meyers was found and asked by Mr. Ryder to have Cannon locked up. This he would not do saying that the j prisoner was already in the custody of |an officer. Cannon thereupon left the station house stating that he would appear at 7 o'clock in the evening. No attempt was made to detain him and he walked away. A short tune ago before the assault Cannon met Mayor Sutton at the corner of Butler alley and the Square, and started to wrangle with him, accusing him of furnishing testimony at the hearing laHt Friday that gave his saloon a bad reputation iri the eyes of the court. Cannon has been laying for Ryder for some time on accoun of an article which appeared in the Record, a few weeks ago calling attention to the great number of loafers who hangs about the front of ilia place on Kast Market street.. The reporter is one of the most gentle menly young men in the city and was totally unprepared for the attack which was made upon him by the saloon keeper. Cannon was arrested, fined S2O for violating a city ordinance and held under SSOO bail for court. Another Effect of the Deal. Before the recent ileal the Central had made a low rate from Wilkes-Barre to Scranton for March 17, St. Patrick's day. The rate for the round trip was fixed at j 48 cents, and was obtained by the Board of America of the A. 0. H. who will hold an inter-county demonstration on that day in that city. The Delaware and Hudson Company had made a 07 cent rate from Wilkes-Barre. On Saturday the gentlemen who were appointed to get the rates were astonished at receiv ing a letter from the Central informing them that the 48-cent rate had been withdrawn and and a 67-cent rate substi tuted. Noexplanation of the change was given. This shows that the deal has stopped railway competition in that region, and is a good sign that cheap ex cursion rates are a tiling of the past, un less the people can have the deal declar ed illegal. "Green Goods" Victims. The circulars sent out by the New York "green goods" frauds have had their ef fect in llazleton. We were informed the other day of two men who went to New York City and were relieved of S4OO and S3OO, respectively. A third party was in waiting upon their return to buy SSOO worth of the money, but was saved by his friends. The men who were duped say they received five genuine U. 8. S2O bills which were wrapped around a roll of paper exactly the size and color of U. S. Treasury notes. These men are not to be pitied.— Standard. A Whole Carload of Scenery. Augustin Neuvilleand a good company will present his new play, 'The (New) Boy Tramp," at Freeland Opera House to-morrow evening.

Con siderable attention has been given to the scenic and mechanical effects—a car load of scenery, etc., being carried by the company. Augustin Neuville is an unusually fine comedian. He is hand some, graceful, lias a fine voice, and is a splendid actor. Special Offer. For the next three months Jas. J.

A hill in equity, including '* an application for a permanent injunc- I tion to restrain operations under the - lease will be the proceeding adopted. B B Tliey Will Dance on the 17tli. All signs indicate that the St. Patrick's Beneficial Society will have a big hall next Thursday evening. The date, March 17, has always been a good one in past years for a ball, and the prospects - for a night of excellent enjoyment are very bright. As the town will he well 1 filled with people during the day, the majority can be depended upon to arrive I at the Opera House in the evening. NEWS OF THE WEEK.
