Malloy, Washington street, on Saturday at 7 p. m. to arrange for the election. Opinion is Bomewhat divided as to the strength of the ticket nominated, and unless some of the bitter feeling caused by the method used in defeating some of the candidates settles down it will require considerable labor to elect the nominees. The delegates have been the subject of much criticism since the convention, and many think they ought to have made a stronger ticket. llriiiiblican Nomination*.

Mr. McCready is I bookkeeper for the Lehigh Coa! and I Navigation Company at Linsford. J. P. j Salmon, of Hazleton, was renominated for poor auditor.

Apparently there is very little interest being taken in borough politics, but the candidates are doing much quiet work nevertheless, and the contests at the con ventions promise to be close and inter esting. The Democrats have not yet decided upon the date for holding the nominating convention. The latest candidate is Joseph Davis, .of South street, who announces himself as an applicant for the Democratic nomi nation of tax collector. Shown Cun't Stand Thin Law. Auditor General Gregg has notified the treasurers of the various counties that the statement sent out by him a few days ago that he had suspended the enforcement of the old license act of April 16, 1845, pending a decision in a test case in Lancaster county regarding the theatri cal license, is incorrect. He says he has no power to suspend any law. It was recently decided that under this act every county treasurer must col lect a SSO license fee from every theatri cal troupe or company, independent of what is known as the common house license, unless a state license is taken out at a cost of SI,OOO. The effect of the general enforcement of the theatrical law of 1845, with the supplementary act of 1859, theatrical managers say, will be disastrous throughout the state, as in its operation only the citie3 practically escape, and in them the show and play will be much reduced in number. No move will be made by Treasurer Reed to compel the payment of the ss<) theatrical license by the managers of the various houses in this county until the Lancaster case is settled positively. If that case As decided against the mana gers, collection will of course be enforced all through the state, and will end plays in Freeland and many other towns. Schuylkill's Font roller* hip Muddle. As a result of the refusal to deliver up the books and papers of the commis sioners to Messrs. Samuels, Jenkyn and Doyle, the newly elected board of audi tors of Schuylkill county. Phil J. Con nell, the commissioner's chief clerk, was arrested on Tuesday. The difficulty is duo to the opinion of County Solicitor Ulrich, who holds that the act creating the office of county con troller abolishes that of county auditor. Mr. Connell was subpoenaed to ap pear before the auditors with the books and papers of the commissioners. Acting under the advice of the county solicitor, he refused to do so, and this led the uuditors, through their attorney, William Wilbelm, Esq., to secure an attachment upon him to appear before them. Connell was set free by the court on his own recognizance. Renounced the World. At St. Joseph's convent, Hazleton, on Tuesday afternoon Miss Sarah Callahan, of Plains, and Miss Kale McTague, of Drifton, renounced the world and took the white veil. The ceremony was per formed by Piishop O'llara, of Scranton, and was witnessed by a large number of relatives and friends of the young ladies. Miss Callahan will be known • s Sister Mary Stanislaus and Miss McTague as Sister Mary Clare. Bishop O'llara was assisted in performing the ceremony by Fathers O'Donnell, of Scranton, Philips, of Plains; Bunce, of Manch Chunk; Fal lihee, of Freeland; and Cummiakey, Fitimaur'.ce and Moylan, of Hazleton. Sister Mary Sebastian, who was known as Catherine Coyle, and is from Hobo ken, N. 0., took tier final vows and was given the black veil. Haddock's Big Suit. John C. Haddock, of Wilkes-Barre, owner of some of the largest mines in the Wyoming region, has commenced suit against the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company for $550,990 alleged to have been illegally paid by tiie plaintiff, as excessive freight toll rates during the last six years while transporting lite output of the Haddock mines at Plymouth. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1894. HIGHLAND DOTS. A Hungarian was found on the road side near this place on Tuesday morn ing and it was thought by those who made the discovery that he was dead.

In about two hours after lie got up and whipped the board ing boss and left for parts unknown. Night school might have done some wonderful things if it had been viewed in the same manner by the pupils as it was by the teacher.

On Friday last we were nearly having another drowning accident in the same place where young McKyoy was drown ed some time ago. Several small boys went there skating and while enjoying themselves the ice broke and one of them went down. The other boys were unable to give him any assistance, but his cries for help attracted the attention of some .men who were working in the woods nearby and with the aid of a long pole they rescued him with great diffi culty. The tramps who were located at the water tank during the winter have con cluded to tako up their quarters else where. They say it is a difficult matter to get a cold lunch in tins town at pres ent.

John Richards, a miner living in Scranton, lias recently had annoying family troubles, and on Tuesday went home greatly under the influence of liquor. Before he turned his steps homeward he assured several of his friends that he was weary of life and contemplated suicide. When he reached home he began a fierce quarrel with his wife and while this was in progress he pulled a dynamite cartridge from his pocket ami attempted to explode in his mouth. In his haste, fearing his purpose would be opposed, he unintentionally exploded the cartridge in his fingers. His hand was completely shattered to the wrist and two of his fingers were blown away, lie is believed to be deranged. Acquitted VcHlerday. Frank DcPierro, of Freeland, charged with being an accessory after the fact ip aiding Carmen Tucei to escape after com mitting a murder at Tomhicken in ! August, 1892, was acquitted in court I yesterday. Judge Woodward instructed the jury to taring in a verdict of not guilty, as the evidence submitted by the prosecutors was not sufficient to show that Mr. DePierro was connected witli I the case in the manner alleged. Quite a number of Freeland people were present at the trial, and Frank re ceived many congratulations upon his acquittal. Tlio Bent of till! ScMSoii.

A Charlie Roh* Case at A*liley. Ashley has a Charlie Ross case on hand. On Friday last Eddie Brotherton, the six-year-old son of Joseph Brother ton, olio of the wealthiest residents of the town, disappeared and despite .the search that lias been kept up ever since lie has not been found. On Friday he went out to piny in the afternoon, and was last seen on the principal street. All day on Monday searching parties scoured the mountains, dragged the deep pools of Solomon's creek, descend ed into dangerous cave holes, looked into deserted buildings, even the mines und coal drifts long since abandoned wore not forgotten, but the search re vealed nothing. Finally some one suggested that the missing boy mighgt have wandered on the ice of the Carles pond, broke through and drowned. The firemen of Ashley soon had their apparatus on the ground and began to pump. When the water had been lowered to half the usual depth ten of the firemen, unable longer to stand the suspense, plunged into the water, and as they progressed slowly toward the opposite side of the pool leaned forward and with their hands felt carefully upon the muddy bottom, hoping to fin i the body. This proceed ing, like efforts in other directions, prov ed unavailing, and had'to bo given up. The missing hoy was a great favorite with everybody and hundreds of people are looking for him. It is supposed lie lias been kidnapped and is being held until his parents offer a reward for him. Detectives have been engaged and working on the case. Grip Millie Him liisano. Howard Smith, of Wilkea-Barre, is lost somewhere in the mountain near Neseopeck and it is feared he is dead. Several days ago while suffering with a severe attack of the grip he left his home and started away down country. Atone farm house he knocked at the door and asked to be admitted. The inmates re fused to take him in, fearing that he might do them some harm, lie then removed his coal and vest, hung them on a tree and departed. Several miles further on he was seen digging under a fence in his shirt sleeves. A man approached him and laying his hand on his arm asked what ho was dig ging for. The crazed man replied that he was looking for "grip," that he and grip had started 011 a journey together and that he had lost him and thought he had eraivled into the ground. The poor director of the township was sent for and took the man to his home, where a coat and hat were secured. After considerable questioning the town ship officer who had surmised what the trouble was learned enough to know about where the man lived. lie gave him some food, but during the next few minutes Smith escaped. He was traced j to the mountains 011 Tuesday, but lias not yet been found. The Tigers Hall. The ball of the Tigers Athletic Club was well-attended on Monday evening, and the night was spent in an enjoyahlu manner by the large crowd present. The hall room was finely decorated with hunting, Hags and palm, and the artistic work in this line reflected credit upon the club's endeavors to please its pa trons. The grand march was participated in by 103 couples, and was led by Master of Ceremonies James McKinley and Miss Bridget Gaffney. The special fea tures during the intermissions by Con Carbon and l'hil Coyle were appreciated by the audience, and the ciog and reel dancing of Denis Coyle and William Burke was given several encores. The net receipts of the bgll were $110.22, The thanks of the club are extended to the St. Patrick's cornet hand, Messrs. Carbon, Coyle and Burke, of Wilkes- Barre, the persons who loaned decora tions and the young ladies who assisted at the stands, also to tho public in general for its attendance. Cow. You Will Say the Same. The following extract is copied from a recent New York exchange, concerning Powell, the magician, 011 his first ap pearanee in that city: "I went to his entertainment, and before he had prog ressed far 1 was satisfied he was the greatest artist 1 had ever seen. His work is quicker and neater, more artis tic, more mysterious, and in fact evoked more wonder than any magician I had ever seen, and I have seen all the greut ones. The large audience last night set the seal of success upon him before lie hail been on the stage half an hour, lie is indeed a wonder and will make a for tune for hifhself and his manager lief ire l.e is many years older. For a magician to give an entire evening's entertain ment of all now illusions and mysteries, and that are new to a New York audi'- ence, and to receive a curtain call at tho close of his performace, is a novelty in deed, but that is exactly what Powell : did last night." j Powell will be seen at the opera house on Saturday evening and his appearance here is one of those really good tilings of tlie amusement season that you oan- I not afford to miss. \ BRIEF ITEMS OF NEWS: LOCAL JOTTINGS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOyRCES.
