There are cases hi numerable where newspaper publishers and proprietors are cheated by a class of people, who take the paper for a little while, stop it and think that they ought not to pay, for it. When asked to settle these same people become highly indignant that a newspaper firm should try and collect so small a bill and imagine that they were doing the firm a favor in taking the paper that long. One of these newspaper beats ran against a snag the past week and sud denly was brought to the rude awak ening that he had to pay for his news papers. This individual is Frank Z. Donn, who conducts a saloon, undertak ing shop and livery stable in Plymouth, lie was a subscriber to the Newsdealer ai.d when the collector made his rounds Donn paid for one month and ordered the paper discontinued. Donn had been furnished with the paper one week long er than what he paid for and the col lector consequently asked him to pay up to date as is customary in such cases. Donn bocame very angry that lie should be asked to pay the small sum of 10 cents. Ho declined to pay it and ordered the collector out of the saloon. Suit was then instituted before Squire Donohue to collect the 10 cents. When Donn was served with a notice of the suit he grew wild with rago and rushed to Wilkesbarre on the first car. He, cilid on his counsel, John Shea, who advised him to settle the matter, if possible. Donn paid the 10 cents on Friday and also paid $2.25 costs in the case. Two Mine Innpectorn ltecoinmended.

Roth districts arc in the Lackawanna region, and tho ! examiners there are appointed by the I court of that county. The session lasted thirty days. Thirty questions wero submitted to each candidate and about two weeks were taken up in answering them. The remainder of the time was occu pied by the examiners in going over the papers and making up the percent age. Mr. Roderick's term expires during tho first week in November, Mr. Rlewitt's term expired on October 4, but he will hold the office until his successor qualifies. He was first appointed mine inspector twenty five years ago, and has hold it over since, with tho exception of four years. Hall Tomorrow Kveulng. Tomorrow ovonlug tho members of Division lit, A.

POLITICAL PICKUPS. The. wholesale delivery of the local Hungarian vote to tho Republican party, which a few alleged Democrats of town bargained to do, has failed. The leaders have been Ignomlnlously turned down by their countrymen, they have been deposed from the offices they held In the political club and are now despised and detested by thoso whoso votes they promised to deliver, Up to date 8;ioo have been poured into the third district of Krooland borough by tho Republican money-changers. This Is the banner Democratic district of lower Luzorno, and if Morgan R. sends his entire wealth Into It he cannot buy enough votes to tako that honor from us. The Republicans of town are making arrangements for holding a rally at Yanncs' opera house on the 28th. Hon. Charles N. ISrumiu, of Minersville, is ex pected to deliver an address. This will be the last Republican meeting held in Freeland this campaign. District Chairman nocking was in town yesterday trying to smooth over the dissatisfaction In Republican ranks. Ills mission appears to have been a fail ure, as tho men whom he wantod to suppress wero loudor than ever last night. There Is a story out that an ox-district Republican chairman has been given tho prlvilego to colleot tho 811,000 which Morgan lb was paid for a letter two yoars ago. His commission Is to bo 100 por cent. A prominent butcher of town would like to know who gave the Republicans authority to use his name as vice presi dent of the Republican meeting held here last Saturday evening. Tho Democrats will hold another rally on Tuesday,owning at tho (Jrand opera house. Noted mon will address this mcotiug. FREE SILVER MEETING. DEMOCRATS HELD THEIR SECOND RALLY TUESDAY EVENING. I>e*pite the Inclement Weather a I.arge Audience Turned Out to Hear the Ikhuch of the Campaign Di*cu*Hed—Speech by W. L. Mars ton, of Jefler*on County. Tho free sliver people of town held their second public meeting on Tuesday evening. The weather was very dis agreeable, and but few from the outsld* towns were present. The audience at the grand opera house when the meet ing opened was small, but in a short while tho crowd increased in size and at 8.30 o'clock several hundred people were In tho building. Owing to a change in the arrangements of speakers by tho state committee, Senator Brown, who had been advertised to address the meet ing, was sent to another part of the state, and In his stead came VV. L. Mars ton, a prominent business man of Brook ville, Jefferson county. Tho meeting was opened by James F. Sweeney with several bright remarks. He dwelt at some length upon the more Important parts of the Chicago platform. The contents of that document were commented upon in an Intelligent man ner, especially those sections which re fer to foderal interference in state af fairs, government by injunction and tho supreme court. The speaker pointed out the danger to the liberties of tho In dividual if the abuses which are grow ing up under theso heads are allowed to continue, and his ablo defense of these important planks of the platform placed tho mattor in a new light to many In the audience. Tho speaker of the ovonlng, Mr. Marston, followed, aod captured his au dience at the outset by his humorous references to 50-cent dollars. He spoke on tho financial question from the stand point of a business man and made a number of illustrations to prove tho justness of the silver advocates' claims. What was probably the best part of his address was his remarks upon the ability of tho United States to establish, single handed, the ratio of the two inotals at 1U to 1. He claimed that America owes It to the world to repair the wrong done to silver in 1873, inasmuch as it was hy our act that the demonetization of silver was made successful iu the other lead ing countries. The speaker said that ono of his be liefs was that when he did a wrong, ho should right it, and as every prominent statesman in every political party is on record assaying that the act of 1873 was a wrong, he believed the rule should ap ply to i) itlons as well as to individuals, and that justice can only bo done by re turning to the money system in vogue previous to the year that John Sherman sneaked his 9,000-word bill through con gress. In giving a brief history of how tho demonetization bill went through con gress, the speaker was particularly se vere on Sherman, and from the official records of congress and authentic let tors, he cited the statements of men like President Grant, Judge Kelly, Jamos (t. Blaine and others to provo that they did ot know that the bill was demonetizing silver. Mr. Marston took up tho International agreement plan, and ridiculed tho Idea that England would over consent to any system of flnanco which would glvo American energy and American indus try an opportunity to compete with her In tho world's markets. Ho told of how she was so willing to help (?) us in 1770, 1813 and 1803, and nothing more sub stantial than that kind of aid may bo expected from that government. The speech throughout contained many salient points, and with tho humor injected Into tho address, the audience wont away perfectly satisfied that the Democrats arc endeavoring to make this a campaign of education, so that every voter may understand the Issues at stake. A (jouil Itecomiiientlatlon. Tony Farrell played three nights this week in Wilkesbarro, and the XftOH detiler speaks of him as follows; Tony Farrell, the well-known Irish comedian, appeared last night at Music Hall in "Harry Owen," an Irish drama which is far abovo the average. Mr. Farrell is an accomplished comedian and good singer with a rich barltono voice, and was forced to sing his songs over and over again. He has surrounded himself w|th a strong company. There is an air of romance about "Garry Owen" that is particularly inviting and Mr. Farrell has not forgotten to put his play on in good taste. Lisearrah Chapel Is one of tho handsomest seonos over put on tho stage. His business no doubt will bo as large as ho desorvos. lied room suites, 816, at Sweeney & Ilorron's, Iluzloton.
