A Desperate Scheme.
It is alleged that a scheme to count
out John Mohan, who was the Demo
cratic candidate for supervisor in llazle
township, was frustrated last week at
Wilkcsbarro by the timely arrival of a
young attorney of Ila/Jeton. The i*3-
turns, it is said, were undergoing, or
about to undergo, a change upon their
face sufficient to defeat Mr. Mohan, and
anothor attorney from our neighbor
ing city was engaged In the work.
Mr. Mohan's election was conceded on
all sides, and the majority was so large
that he thought it unnecessary to follow
up the returns to the county seat. It is
likely that more about this scheme to
declare him defeated will be heard.

WAR ON SPEAK-EASIES.
1 Detectiven Create Consternation Among
Illegal Liquor Dealera.
A vigorous war upon spoak-caslcs In
upper Luzerne has been commenced by
the licensed saloon keepers, who a
couple of months ago quietly organized
for that purpose. They employed two
Philadelphia detectives and tiio first
arrests were made last week, when
Alderman Davidson, of Wilkesbarre,
issued warrants for the following per
sons. all whom are from Duryoa: Thos.
Joyce, Paul Urban, Frank Savage, C.
Knapp and Thos. Keating. They were
given a hearing and each was hold in
the sum of S3OO for court. Later the
alderman issued another batch of war
rants, summoning the following to ap
pear: Neal J. Sweeney and Mrs. Slian
loy, Plymouth; Michael Brennun and
Martin Bilbo, Edwardsville; Mrs. Morris.
Plains; James Ferry, Joseph Carey and
John McLaughlin, Wilkesbarre, ami
Alice Gallagher, Plymouth township.
There are estimated to be 1,000 speak
easies in this county, and the detectives
say they have evidence against the
majority of them and will make daily
arrests until all are closed. The first
hatch of arrests made resulted in prompt
hearings and of the defendants the
majority furnished bonds.
Heretofore there have been spasmodic
efforts to bring illegal liquor dealers to
justice, but in nearly every case the
prosecution was only the vehicle of per
sonal fooling and a desire to get even.
One of the detectives, who goes under
the name of Day, stated that at a low
estimate the receipts in each of the 1,900
places were $2 a day.
The detectives state that they also in
tend to cause the arrest of a number of
constables throughout the county for
violation of their oaths of office and per
jury in open court on return days. Year
in and year out these officials have gone
on the stand at the court house and tes
tified under oath that there wore no un
licensed places or violations of the
license laws in their districts.
The detectives, however, state that in
their investigations tiiey havo met and
drank with constables in places that ,
wero generally known to the police as ,
speak-easlos, and that the constables in
some districts are constant visitors to
these places. The detectives also allege
to have ovidouco in several casos where
constables have demanded and received
money from speak-easy proprietors as
the price of their silence.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Freeland, February 20.
EniTon Tmin-.NE.—Within the past
few days there lias been much talk in
reference to the appointments which
the next council or this borough will
make, and some parties are trying to
place me in a .false light before the |-üb
lic because 1 exorcise my right to have
selections of my own for treasurer and
street commissioner.
Allow me the spaco necessary to make
a brief explanation of this* matter.
Some years ago it was agreed by the
coimcllmon that the retiring members
of the council eacli year should have the
privilege to name the men who could be
treasurer and street commissioner the
next year. The pla.ll worked well, be
cause it removed from all except the re
tiring men the trouble of making satis
factory selections.
Now in 1894, when 1 was ono of the
retiring members, the rule was openly
broken. Neither my candidate nor my
self would bo accepted by certain coun
cil men, and I was defeated for one of
the appointments. The next year the
rule was again broken, when another re
tiring councilman was treated as I was.
After breaking the agreement two
years in succession, some of the council
men, I might say those who broke It, want
the rule re established, and appear dis
pleased when I refuse to be a party to
the same, i was turned down once,
now why should I be asked to place my
self in a position where they can turn
me down again?
Last year, and the year before, I was
told the field was open for all; why
should it not bo so this year?
On account of the stand I have taken,
I am informed that one of the office
seekers is making threats, that if I seek
the nomination of representative next
fall I will be antagonized by his friends.
I am prepared to accept the conse
quences of my actions, and threats of
any kind will not turn me from my in
tention to vote as my conscience dic
tates.
Mr. Editor, my reason for this explan
ation is that I am accused of trying to
break a rule made by council. 1 say
there is no rule or agreement on these
appointments, and I believe the public
will sustain me. Yours respectfully,
E. W. Rutter.
Will Remain Witli You*
Wo are pleased to announce today to
our patrons and the public in general

and workmen wrongfully mined, remov
ed and carried away large quantities of
coal and converted the same to tlieii

NIPPED AN ELOPEMENT.

111 and -Spoiled the Lovers' I*lot.
Cupid is a curious little critter and
such an Industrious, woo busybody that
he is continually fomenting trouble, and
with every pulsation of joy that he
brings to loving hearts he mixes little
pangs of pain just to gratify bis innate
desire for mischief. lie confines him
self to 110 particular field or locality, but
lilts about from placo to place, shooting
an arrow hero and another there, until
one wonders where lie gets such an end
less supply.
The latest caper cut by the little god
of love occurred in the peaceful hamlet
of Rear Creek, this county, savs the
Wilkesbarre Leader , and had it not been
for the intervention of his old enemy,
the watchful mother, two youthful,
loving hearts would now be beating as
one, while two young and ferocious ap
petites would have to depend upon tiio
charity of a cold world for gratification,
lint tin- old woman was on hand just in
time and carried away her son, leaving
the object of his affections to sigli and
weep alone.
Miss Amy Doty, a little lady, possibly
nineteen years old, left her home in To
wauda early last fall and came to Rear
Creek to teach the "doestrict skule."
She is girlish in appearance, being be
low the medium height, and her long
dress gives one the impression of a little
girl togged out in her big sister's attire.
She is a pronounced blonde, and while
she is not pretty of face or form her
winning way soon captivated tin- hearts
if the rural swains and there soon de
veloped a rivalry for her affections. To
all the eligible suitors she was hard
hearted, hut to her biggest boy pupil,
Charlie Rlakcslcn, her heart went out In
affection and love and she determined
to win him for her husband.
To look at Cliiirlio 0110 would naturally
suppose ho would bo the last boy on
oai th to incite a school ma'am's admira
tion. Hi\ is not quite sixteen years old,
large gawky, with a far-away, harmless
gleam in ills eyes, an expressionless face,
and as he sat in the mayor's office he
looked anything but the desperate, lover
lie is reported to bo. Vet he stealthily
left his mother's home and with all his
earthly belongings wrapped up in a cot
ton bandanna handkerchief made his
way over the mountain to this city.
Miss I) ity, th i school ma'am had left
'fear Creek 1" rid ay and had come to
this city where she met her boy lover
Saturday morning. Together they were
enjoying the sights of the town when
'harlie's mother and I'olieoman Haltes
swooped dowed upon them and carried
diem off to the mayor's office.
Here the absurdity of the situation
nanifested itself, and the mayor, several
policemen, reporters, councilman, etc.,
•vero entertained with a story of burn
ing love seldom found out of the realms
>r fiction. Army at first assumed an air
if dignity and asserted that her interest
in Charlie was simply that of the con
scientious teacher in a pupil who worked
hard to prepare himself for the battle of
life. Her affection, she assured the
mayor, was of tile Platonic character
and Charlie's mother had 110 cause for
alarm.
"Oh, certainly I haven't," said the
uitter, in a sarcastic tone. "No mother
lias cause for alarm when her liftoon
yoar-old boy is enticed from home three
nights ill till! week by his sch.ool teacher
and kept spooning before a wood lire un
til o'clock in the morning. No mother
should feci the least alarm when she
sees her llttlo boy pining and growing
thin from loss of sleep, moonshine and
love— 110, indeed."
"Mrs. Ulakosloo," said the school
ma'am "Charlie wanted to get away
from the country because 110 thought 110
could earn more money and I agreed to
take him up to Towanda and find him
work."
"Why didn't you take him to raise for
a few years—lie a mother to him?" re
plied the old lady, "and then when yon
had him trained into the kind of man
you want for a husband you could marry
him."
"I don't want to marry him —that isn't
tile kind of feeling I have for him," said
the little school ma'am. "I just want to
help him get along in the world, that's
all."
"Oli, is it all'.' Well I just tell you that
when a gal as thinks herself somebody
keeps a hoy lifteou years of ago out of
bed until " o'clock in the morning three
times a week, ail I can say is she must
have some mighty big plans to talk
over." Then turning to the mayor she
asked, "What do you think I ought to
do with him?" "Well," said the latter
after lie had recovered from his lit of
laughter. "1 believe the boy is sick and
ought to have (lie doctor."
"That so" said she "and he'll get him
when we reach home. I)r. Hircli is the
man and I know just where to find him.
Come along Charlie" and seizing her son
by the arm she dragged him out and
would not oven permit him to say good
bye to his sweetheart. Then the latter
