Joseph D. Myers, of the South ward,
was unanimously renominated for bor
ough auditor, and the Democratic poor
district candidates were endorsed.
The question of whether the conven
tion should nominate school directors to
run over the entire borough was settled
by passing a motion to not nominate
such candidates. The decree of the
of the court dividing the North ward
states that directors shall be elected by
wards and the delegates agreed to follow
the court's order. During the discussion
some of the delegates mentioned how
the Republicans came to name candi
dates for the office. It was said they
did so upon information received from
Secretary Sweeney that the school board
will recognize only those elected by the
whole borough. Mr. Sweeney was pres
ent and denied that lie made the state
ments attributed to him at the Republi
can convention. What he did say, ho
claimed, was that in his opinion the
board would pursue the course men
tioned above, lie said lie was still of
this opinion, but disclaimed any author
ity to speak for other directors. The
motion to not nominato candidates for
this office was carried without a dissent
ing vote.
After appointing a committee of one
from each voting district, with authority
to till any vacancy that may occur on
the ticket, the convention adjourned.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1898,
Sheriff Will He Tried.
A two weeks' term of criminal court
was commenced at WHkesbarre on Mon
day before Judge Bennett, District At
torney T. R. Martin appearing for the
lirst time in his official capacity. It was
announced that the trial of James R.
Griner, for the murder of his stepdaugh
ter, was postponed until next term.
It was also announced that the trial
of Sheriff Martin and the eighty deputies
would be called next Tuesday, February
1. They are charged with murder and
felonious wounding in shooting and kill
ing twenty-two and wounding lifty-eighl
striking miners at Lattimer on Septem
ber 10 last.
It is expected that the trial will take
place, as the commonwealth is quite
ready. District Attorney Martin says he
understands the attorneys for the de
fense will make an effort to get the case
continued.
Wbetheror not the sheriff and deputies
will all bo tried together and on both
counts at once is not known, as the
commonwealth and the numerous law
yers of the defendants have not con
sulted in the matter. The presumption
is. however, that all will be tried to
gether, and if possible on both counts,
in order to save the county expense.

POLITICAL PICKUPS.
The tickets nominated by the Demo
crats in the several wards have com
pletely upset the plansof the Republican
aspirants. Instead of an easy walk
over, as they had counted upon up to
Tuesday night, the Republican candi
dates in the four uptown wards find
their chances are melting away. They
are already on the defensive in the
First, Third and Fourth, while the
bickerings among the candidates in the
Second make that ward an easy one for
the Democrats to capture.
James T. Mulhcaru. of Hansford, is a
candidate for the Democratic nomina
tion of senator in the district composed
of Carbon, Monroe and Pike counties.
The nomination is equivalent to (flec
tion and Mr. Mulhearn's many friends
bore wish him success.
The trouble in the Republican ranks
in Foster township is as far from settle
ment as ever. Both factions are deter
mined to place their candidates on the
ballot, no matter which side is designat
ed by the court as the regular party.
Hazle Democrats havo placed one of
the strongest tickets in years in the
field. The Republicans are thoroughly
demoralized and express no hopes of
winning.
It is rumored that the Republican
candidates for school directors at large
will be withdrawn from tho ticket.

Two Town* Swept by Fire.
Sunday night was a night of terror to
the inhabitants of Mahanoy City, as no
less than four iires broke out, three of
which are believed to have been the
work of incendiaries. First the Record
oflico was partially destroyed. Within
an hour Ei eh man's stable and feed
warehouse, located in another section of
the town, was burned to the ground.
Shortly after 1 o'clock Monday morn
ing the Eagle hosiery mill was totally
destroyed. Sparks from this building
set tire to a two-story frame dwelling in
the rear occupied by Jacob Fritz. This
building was also burned to the ground.
The flames then communicated to sev
eral box cars and gondolas that were
standing on a Reading Railroad siding,
and they were burned. The total loss
on all the properties is estimated to be
at least $50,000.
That the tires were the work of in
cendiaries is settled beyond a doubt, as
no lire was kept in any of the buildings.
After the first lire a number of special
policemen were sworn into service, and,
together with a posse of business men
and citizens, they patroled the town all
night. When the third alarm of fire
was sounded Mrs. John Boath, aged 38
years, dropped dead from fright. She
is survived by nine children.
Fire early Monday morning made
eleven families homeless at Alden. The
losers are W. J. Scott, merchant; Mrs.
Noble, dwelling and three stores; Mrs.
A. J. Jones, dwelling and two stores;
John Kennedy, store; George Safea,
dwelling and restaurant; Mr. Pluto,
James Moriinan, Patrick Mangan, Sam
uel Young, Alden Coal Company, Frank
Young, U. Searfos. The losses aggre
gate $-10,000, about one-third of which
is covered by insurance.
Charged Hi* Downfall to Drluk.
From the Wilkesbarrc Leader.
Andrew McNulty, of Freeland, charg
ed with larceny of clothing taken from
a clothes line, pleaded guilty. James
Selwell, the prosecutor, was called to
state the circumstances. The prisoner
in his own behalf told a pathetic story
of Ids downfall caused by drink. Ho
had, ho said, taught school in Freeland
and was principal for two years. He
studied law with Attorney Hayes and
then went to Philadelphia. When he
came back lie applied for a school, but
was told the old teachers had the prefer
ence. In a fit of dejection he drank
heavily the day of the alleged theft and
at night the clothes were stolon from
the line. He could not remember hav
ing committed the theft.
Attorney J. F. O'Neil came before the
court to corroborate the prisoner's state
ment as to teaching school and being a
law student. Burgess Gallagher, of
Freeland, said the man had previously
borne a good reputation but had lately
given away to the cup that downs and
the pace that kills.
An effort was made to have sentence
suspended in his case, but the plaintiff
was not satisfied and Judge Ben not sen
tenced him to pay a line of $lO, the
costs and undergo imprisonment in the
county jail for a period of five months.
ltev. Komitittki Receive* Sentence.
Rev. Stephen Kaminski, of Buffalo,
convicted on the cliargo of libel at a
recent term of court, was called on
Tuesday morning for sentence. Asked
by Judge Bennett if ho had anything to
say why sentence should not be pro
nounced, his counsel, John T. Lenahan,
said there were strong reasons to doubt
tho defendant's guilt. Ho thought that
in view of all the circumstances, Rev.
Kaminski had alroady suffered in many
ways by this conviction, and that as
there was no disposition now on the part
of the retired district attorney to punish
the man by imprisonment, he would beg
clemency.
The sentence was that on the lirst
count of the indictment the defendent
pay a lino of SIOO and the costs of prose
cution, also a lino of ssoand costs in the
second count. As the case was continu
ed a number of times, the costs reach
SI,OOO. Rev. Kaminski will pay the line,
and thus escape imprisonment.
The libel consisted in publishing and
distributing a pamphlet calculated to in
jure the reputation of a Ilazleton clergy
man. The defendent is a member of
the Independent Polish Catholic Church,
which lias severed its connection with
the Roman Catholic jurisdiction.
DrufncHß Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
aud that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this lube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect bearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un
less the inflamalion can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, bearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catar rab, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
