Palmer, of Wilkesbarre, who in past years made a brilliant record for himself by ids consistent and Influential opposition to machine politics and corruption in his own party, Is now the laughing stock of the state. Somebody hung up the judgeship bait before him as a tempta tion to remain loyal lo Quay and Stone, and, In spitu of his grand record as a reformer and as one of tho Quay's stead fast enemies, he nibbled and fell an easy victim to ambition. First, is an un delivered speech at Philadelphia on the 15th Inst., which by mistake was printed next day, he said some tilings regarding leglslailve abuses which grated harshly upon the nerves of Quay I tes. For this he was promptly checked, and to redeem himself In the eyes of his new bedfellows he delivered another speech In the same city Friday ovofiing and In It roudly berated the Palmer of old, lauded Quay and Stone and all the isms they stand for. lie outdid Senator Penrose, who spoke the same night, in Ills love for the Boss, and them waited for his reward. And "Hank" got it—where all traitors to principle get it. On Tuesday llalsey was made judge. The Philadelphia Prexx says that "a conservative estimate of Montgomery county shows that Jcnks will carry it by at least 2,000 majority and t hut every Quay candidate for tho legisla ture will bo defeated." McKinley car ried Montgomery "by 7.944. The same paper says tho indications in Chester county aro that all of Quay's legislative candidates will lose, that Jonks' vote will be larger than Stone's and that Swallow's majority will bo about 2,800. Tho county gavo McKinley a majority of 8,174. These sample estimates from tile foremost Republican newspaper in Pennsylvania tell their own story. Tho oflicial ballot will contain nine columns, tho Republican, Democratic, Prohibition, People's, Liberty, Honest Government, Socialist Labor, Citizens' and a blank. Rev. Swallow's name heads tho Prohibitionist, People's, Liberty and Honest Government tickets for governor. Judge Trickett is on tho Democratic, Prohibition, People's and Liberty tickets for superior court judge. JerrytN. Wollor is on tho Democratic and People's tickets for congrcssman-nt largc. Justus YVatkins is on the People's and Liberty tickets for lieuten ant governor. If a little more ginger is injected in the legislative contest Sheridan will win. Evans, tho Honest Government candi date, is going to poll a largo vote In the South Side districts of Ilazle township, and a fair vote iu Hazleton and Freeland and is not without friends in Foster. As nine-tenths of Ids vote will come from Republicans who want Quayism overthrown, tho Democratic voto is large enough to elect Shlridan, if Ids friends go to the polls. McGlnty, being the strongest candi date on tho Democratic county ticket, lias been selected as tho target for all the venomous shafts of the Republican press. Tho days are gone by, however, when scurrilous vaporlngs from organs which can swallow Quay aro given con sideration by honest pcoplo. Not a word darn bo said against Joe McGlnty's private or public record, and tho froth- Ings of the scribblers will not cost him a vote. Bernard Ferry, of Butte, a brother of School Director Jamos B. Ferry, is a candidate for the Montana legislature on the Fusion ticket in Silver Bow county. Barnny is a young man who has taken good care of himself since going West, and ids Freeland friends hope lo hear of his success in tho politi cal arena. Charles J. Boyle, of Plymouth, who made many friends last summer during his canvass for tho Democratic nomina tion of recorder, died at Ids homo on Monday from typhoid fever, aged 38 yoars. He was a prominent business man and politician of Plymouth, and had many friends throughout tho county. Independent Republicans in town consorvativnly estimate that Swallow will poll 200 votes in thn borough. They claim that his voto will largely exceed Stone's in the Fourth ward and prob ably in tho First, and oxpect to give him a close chase In tho Second and Third wards and Second district of the South ward. In a lengthy editorial yesterday tho Philadelphia Time*, Swallow's leading supporter, concedes that Jenks' election is not only posslblo but vory probable. Tho fimce prides Itself on Its lung list of accurate ante-election predictions. E. R. En body has withdrawn his name as an Independent Democratic candldato for ussociato judge In Carbon county.

Boars the Kind ou Hara Always Bought ."rr6&yt DRIFTON ITEMS. After continuous service of a quarter of a century, less one year, John Cun nfngham, foreman of the machine shops of tho Coxe Iron Manufacturing Com pany, has resigned his position and the same will take effect on the 31st inst. Mr. Cunningham is one of the foremen of the old school, uow so few in Drifton, for whom men took a pleasure iu work ing because he treated them as human beings instead of the latter day style of driving them like slaves. Drifton shops, with his departure, lose an able super intendent and t.ljo town a citizen esteem ed by all classes. Mr. Cunningham, it is said, has offers of three similar posi tions, and while he lias not yet decided it is likely he will go to Boston. UalseyV appointment to tho judgeship of Luzerne county fell like a thunder slap on the political clique here. Whea ton iiad received the unanimous en dorsement of what in certain circles is known as tho "Drifton gang," and the news that the governor failed to obey their "request" tu place their favorite on the bench stunned them. Since Hastings favored the Drifton crowd with the new county veto they have talked very confidently of their "pull" at Ilarrlsburg and acted as though they ownod tho chief executive of the state, but yesterday's announcement rudely awakened them. Sulphur fumes from a locio in No. l mine yesterday nearly suffocated Robert Gillespie and Frank Gillespie, an engi neer and assistant. Roth wore prostrat ed by the deadly vapor and were uncon scious several hours. The former is lilling the place of the regular engineer, William Raskin, who is recovering from a similar attack. The recovery of the young men was in doubt for awhile. The sulphur is caused by the dirt which the company insists being burned in the locies instead of providing coal for the purpose. The illustrated lecture on "Beautiful Pennsylvania," by J. T. Rothrock, state commissioner of forestry, was attended by a largo audience at Cross Creek hall on Monday evening. The lecture was | entertaining and instructive. Cluirteil With Larceny. Fred Horn, of Upper Lehigh, was takon to the county jail on Tuesday by Constable Ludwig to await trial on a charge of larceny, preferred by Council man M. Hchwabe. On Septomber 10 a set of harness valued at 930 was stolen from M. Schwabo's stable in South Hcbcrton. Since that time lie lias closely scanned every set of harness ho saw anil notified the saddlers of the region to keep a look out for his property. A week ago George Wise reported that the harness had arrived at Ills Freeland shop for repairs. Mr. Scliwabe then began a search for the guilty party. It was learned that tlio harness was considered the property of Joe Itirkbeek. The latter promptly proved that he purchased the goods from Louis Snyder, of Butler, for sls. Mr. Snyder, in turn, furnished evidenco that ho had traded the harness for another set with Fred Horn. Mr. Horn alleged that ho bought it from a Hungarian in Upper Lehigh swamp on Ills way homo from the Grand Army celebration hero. Failing to produce the Hun, Mr. Horn was askud on Monday cvonlng by Squire Buckley to furnish S3OO bail for his appearance at court. This he also failed to do, and the next day lie was taken to Wilkesharro. The council man proved his ownership to the har ness and possession was given him. Now Confectionery Manufactory.

Bears the yf The Kind You Have Always Bought HALSEY IS THE JUDGE. APPOINTED BY GOVERNOR HAST INGS ON TUESDAY. The White Haven Fumlidnte for the Late Judge liennett's Seat, on the Item-h Kasilv Wun Against Attorney Wheaton and u Few Dark Horses- His Career. Governor Hastings on Tuesday after noon appointed (lanis L. Halsey, of White liaven, as common pleas judge of Luzerne county, to lill the vacancy caused by the recent death of Lyman H. Dennett. The contest for the appointment was short but a sharp one. During the past w-oek It narrowed down to Attorney Halsey, of White Haven, and Attorney Frank Wheaton, of Wilkesbarre. These two wore before the public as candidates, but it is known that others were fondly hoping they would bo accepted as com promise candidates if tho Halsey-Whoa ton struggle continued much longer, and It Is asserted iu political circles that ox-Attorney General Palmer was not without a promise that the plum might be his. Hotli Halsey and Wheaton were strongly supported by their fellow at torneys in the county. Among the business element iu the upper end they were equally favored with Indorsements. 11l the lower end Halsey was almost the unanimous choice of these people. With the corporations, however, Whea ton had a tremendous advantage, and their power and Influence was exerted in his behalf in a manner which made his appointment seem imminent. His affi liation with tho Quay faction of the party, and tho report that the governor and tho senator had settled tho differ ences, further strengthened the belief that Wheaton would be named. Nevertheless, tho aiitl-Quayltos and anti-corporation citizens of tho county continued to battle for Halsey, and on Tuesday tho governor announced his decision as above. Sketch of Ills Cuieer. Gains Leonard Halsey was born at Nesquehoning, Carbon county, on July 12, 1845. His ancestors wore English, the lirst of his branch of the Halsey family coming hero in 1U37. Thoy set tled at Lynn, Mass., and later at Southampton, in the same state, where many of them still reside. Others live in New York state, whore a village lias j been named after the family, others j drifted to New Jersey and some to I Pennsylvania. Mr. Ilalsey's great grand-fathers were soldiors in the rev- ! olutionary war and one was rewarded by the continental congress for bravery. Among the prominent descendants of the llalsey family was Roscoo Conkilug, of New York. Tho father of Attorney Halsey was Dr. Richard Church Halsey, who was married to Miss Anna Sprowl, of Chester county, a member of the Society of Friends. They (irst located at White Haven, hut aftor a few years | there removed to Nesquehoning. Mr. Halsey was educated at Wilkes barre academy, Clinton, N. Y., Institute and Tuft's college, Modford, Mass. Ho taught school at Canton, Mass., and at White Haven. In ISGO lie went to Washington, where until 1809 lie was engaged as a stenographer. In 1870 he was a stenographer for the Legiehitire ; Record at Ilarrisburg and in the follow ing year was assistant scrgeant-at-arms in the house of representatives. Later he filled tho position of transcribing clerk in the house. He studied law i with Lyman Hakes and Charles E. Rice, j and was admitted to the bur or Luzerne ! county, September 9, 1872. Mr. llalsey was married on April 17, 1882, to Snraii Elizabeth Levan, a daughter of John W. Levan, of White Haven. In politics Mr. Halsey is a Republican, but not a partisan. His rocord as an attorney is clean and commendable, and the same Is expected of him while ho occupies a scat on the Luzerne county bench.
