resulted in the saloon man and the street

The Board of Trade, met last evening
jin the council room. H. E. Sweeny,
chairman of the committee on nomina
tions of new officers, reported that they
had met several times and decided unan
imously to recommend the election of
the present officials. President Price

hold the next meeting in January.
Mr. Sweeney reported that thore was
yet $2,500 unpaid on the $15,000 issue of
silk mill bonds. The company expects
that some of this amount will be
taken by parties with whom arrange

them.

The South Side towns wore visited
this week by a gang of thieves who hold
high carnival and ran things to suit
themselves. Starting out on Sunday
night at Jeanesville they began by house
breaking and committing depredations
all along the road. The Jeanesville
supply store was lirst broken into and
what material they could not conven
iently take away they destroyed.
The telephone system of the Lehigh
Traction Company they then attacked
and cut off all communication south.
KooiTs powder house, at Treskcow, was
next visited, and a largo quantity of
dynmitc was scattered about. The tele
phone station there was also destroyed.
The cigar store and office of Squire
Robinson was broken up and tobacco
and cigars stolen.
From there the gang went to McAdoo.
breaking into the other telephone sta
tion. The office of the McAdoo Siftingß
was broken open. The furniture store
of Abraham Levinton was entered and
shoes and wearing apparel amounting to
SSO stolen.
On Monday night two terrific explo
sions which awakened all the people in
the neighborhood took place in Arnold's
brewery, Ilazleton. It was found that
two large safes in the office had been
destroyed with charges of dynamite by
the robbers, who operate 1 on them for
the purpose of plunder.
Nothing was obtained from the safes,
as the money was in another safe which |
the thieves overlooked. The robbers
failed to guage their charge of dynamite
and the loud explosion and hurry ap
proach of people scared them off.
Lafferty's hotel, at Silver Brook, was
also entorred by burglars the same night
and considerable money, liquor and
cigars stolen.

From the Wilkesbarre heniler.
Over in his office T. U. Martin sat on
Tuesday morning with an open box or
cigars on his desk and a cordial greeting
for all comers on tap. He had not been
in Ills offico for several days and this was
the lirst opportunity his enthusiastic
i friends had to congratulate liiiu on his
; victory and wish him well, as Luzerne's
I new district attorney. "The result," lie
said, "was a surprise to me. Not in its
result, but in the smallncssuf my major
ity. Every man who runs for office feels
certain of election, 1 know, for after all
that is human nature, but after a
thorough systematic canvass of the
county I was confident that 1 would be
elected by a great big majorty, which
did not materialize.
"What caused tho change? Why in
many places in this county the foreign
ers who would have voted for ine were
kept in the mines until after 7 o'clock
011 election day, and 1 lost hundreds of
votes by tho operation. I was opposed
by the corporations, which took tiiis
means of defeating me. Then again tin'
Irish Democrats, from whom I expected
much, did not materialize. The irish
man is a born politician, and it isn't
often tliat lie sacrifices an opportunity
to vote, but tlie small vote in many Irish
districts proves that this year tho boys
did not come out.
"And I regret to say I lost many Irish
votes through a story put in circulation
to the effect that I was a member of the
A. I'. A. This is used every year against
some candidates and I had hoped that il
would not bo believed. Had it not been
for the Republican vote I received I
would have defeated. Still I consider
myself the choice of the Democratic
party and their representative.
'*\Yhy did the Republicans support
me?" Ho said with a smile, "why many
were personal friends and many were
witli me because of the stand 1 took on
the water question. This was evident
from the vote I received In this city.
Then again many Democrats fought
long and faithfully and their good work
told. Men who were against the ring in
years gone by fought tooth and nail for
me because they felt that a victory for
mo now was a slap at the ring.
"Then again my record as a Democrat,
though I sav it myself, is a good one.
In the face of defeats which usually em
bitter a man. I havo stood by my partv
and always will. Had this been a presi
dential year, I would have not been a
candidate. In such a year the ligiit. is
bitter and party patriotism is greater
than personal regard. At such a time
the county candidates suffer.
"My appointments?" lie said as the
smile died away, and he took a firm hold
on his cigar. "Well I have three to
make, you know, and I shall not an
nounce them until lam sworn in. Yes,
I have many applications, but before
appointing anybody I shall give all ap
plications a thorough consideration. I
shall first consider fitness, as I desire to
have as competent a stalf as can be
gathered In Ltuorne. Secondly, I shall
appoint 111011 whose Democracy is pure
and whose faithfulness to the party can
not bo questioned. Thirdly, all things
being equal, I will appoint personal
friends to whom I am obligated, at the
same time recognizing oil branches of
the party, with fitness as the great con
sideration. Although I shall possibly
never again be a candidate for auv
office, yet f shall labor faithfully to
make a record for myself, not for even
tual political reward, hut for my mem
ory's sake. "The evil that men do lives
after them and I shall leave no evil to
live,"
