Complete LDI of the Office keekers iu Freelauil Borough, Foster and fiasle Townships aud tlie Middle Coal Field Poor District. Below will h found ilia names of the candidates in this vicinity who are look ing for office. Tuesday next, is election day, and it is about time the voters are considering the merits of the aspirants for the several positions. So far this year the campaigns hereabouts have been conducted very quietly. In the borough it is believed that u light vote will be polled, as there are no important general offices to be filled. In some of the wards, however, a large vote will be out, the ward contests serv ing to stimulate interest. The Democrats expect to win in Fos ter. These expectations will be realized if the dissatisfaction In the Republican ranks is as strong as it, appears to be. Ha/.le township Democrats also arc counting on the election of their whole ticket. There is certainly a large amount of trouble in Republican circles that cannot be settled before Tuesday, and the Democratic claim is not with out a basis. The poor district is liable to elect either Schwartz or Lleb. So little is known of how either candidate is work ing that no prediction can be made. The candidates in the districts above mentioned are as follows, the Demo crats' names appearing on the right and the Republicans' names on the left: FREELAND BOROUGH. Auditor, Jesse A. Aldon.

Judge Craig, of Carbon county, has dismissed the objections filed against John Roseiistock's nomination for poor auditor, and his name will appear on the ballot. Mis lfonor has sustained tko claim made that a vacancy exists on the board of auditors by reason of the absence of Auditor Edwards in the volunteer army. This gives Editor Maloy a clear field, the Republicans having failed to name a candidate for the vacancy. In the list of offices and aspirants published in another column, it will he noticed that the Democrats have a candidate for every office to be voted for. In the borough three Democratic candidates are without opposition and in Foster two of the party's nominees hare no one against them. Squire B. .1. Carr. of Eckley, will re ceive many complimentary votes on Tuesday from his Republican friends in Foster township. Death of Patrick Herroo. From the Hazleton Plain Speaker. Patrick Francis Herron died at his home, the Mt. Scenery hotel, Milnes ville, at 11.30 o'clock on Tuesday night of consumption. He had been ill for several years, but had been bedfast only Ave weeks. Deceased was 2fi years of age and was a resident of that locality all of his life time, having been born at Milnesville. Five years ago he was wedded to Miss Rose Bresiin, of Silver Brook, who, with a son, survives him, besides his mother and sister. Miss Mary, and one brother. Con. The remains will be removed to the home of his mother. Mrs. Lawrence Farley, at Farley's hotel. Mr. Ilerrou was a member of Ilazleton base ball team in 1893, occupyingsecond base, and was also a crack pigeon shot. The funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon by vehicles to St. Ann's ceuie- j tery. Tonne Men's Fair Keo|ifined. The reopening of the fair of the Young Men's Corps at the Grand opera house took place this week, and ar rangements have been completed to make the hall an attractive place during the balance of the time the fair is open. There will be dancing every evening, each of the local musical or ganizations having been secured for certain nights. A free entertainment will also bu given nightly, consisting of step-dancing, singing, recitations and specialties. Articles, large and small, are being disposed of every evening. Sorue very fine bargains in valuable, useful and ornamental work can be secured here for a small investment. The fair will be open tonight, and every evening next week. Taylor's Minntrel* Saturday Evening. Thn entertainment at the Grand opera house on Saturday evening will be given by Taylor's Minstrels, an amateur organization of Ilazleton, which conies with the very best kind of recommendations, both as to ability and the character of the fun they furnish. Every person who appreciates a good, clean minstrel show will be satisfied with the performance. The entertainniont is given for the benefit of the Mining and Mechanical Institute, and this should serve as an additional reason why a full house ought to greet the performers. Tickets are now on sale at Woodring's. ROT. A. J. Morton Hurled. The funeral of the late Rev. Allen J. Morton, step-brother of Thomas Evans, of town, whose death at bis homo in Kingston was announced in Monday's TRIIJUNE, takes place today. Rev. Morton was pastor of Upper Lehigh Baptist church from 1873 to 1878, and was since a frequent visitor to this re gion. He bad numerous friends here and many would have attended tbo funeral but for the storm. PLEASURE CALENDAR. February lfi.—Fair of Young Men's C. T. A. B. Corps at Grand opera lionet hall.

Hull road t'oujiuuulentlon With the Out side World I* Comiug Slowly—Trolley Road Crippled—Mall storvlca Demoral ized— Mountain* of Suuw Everywhere. Freeland i* xlowly recovering froui the effects of the great blizzard and snow storm which swept over the United States on Sunday sod Mend ay. For tunately, the storm did no greater dam age in this vicinity than to cause our residents considerable inconvenience, and iu a few days all this will have dis appeared and the town will resume its regular routine. During tbe few days previous to the storm the intense cold burst numbers of steam and water pipes and made every body uncomfortable. Before the people had time to recover from these setbacks the snow began falling and drifting, the wind rose, and a blizzard which for a while threatened to rival the record breaker of March, 1888. was upon us. Sunday night. Monday and Monday night the snow fell, and the wind piled it here and t.iiore in every conceivable shape, letting only a few Inches rest, in some spots and raising it eight feet high in others. By Monday noon the town was completely isolated from the world, the telegraph and telephone alone keep ing us in touch *wit.h neighboring towns and cities. As soon as tbo snow ceased falling Tuesday morning the shovel brigade went to work arid cleared many of the sidewalks. There are some which have not yet been cleaned and pedestrians must climb miniature mountains of snow on the cross streets. Numerous families wore caught short of fuel and it was likely that some suf fering would have been caused on this account if the blockade to the collieries in the outside villages had lasted a few more days. The absence of a coal yard in town was regretted when the pros pects of a fuel famine loomed up. A scarcity of milk was fait, ou Tues day, many of the dealers being unable to reach town and others being unable to procure their daily supply. Owing to their inability to get the coin from the city banks, the Drifton companies could not pay their employes at Drifton and Eckley on Tuesday. The employes will be paid today. Not withstanding the difficulties which all people had to overcome, there was a general good feeling prevailing. "What can't be cured must be endured" was apparently the motto of our townspeople during the siege. OX TIIR TROLLEY lIOAD. The Lehigh Traction Company's cars slopped running into town on Monday and did not succeed in getting the line open again until yesterday afternoon. Great drifts of suow were encountered at Jeddo und Drifton. On South Centre street the residents are complaining of the way the company's men have piled up the snow in front of their properties. RAILROAD TRAINS STALLED. Mention was made on Monday of the jjehigh Valley Wilkesbarre train being stalled between Sandy Run and White Haven. This train was crowded with Freeland and Hazietou license ap plicants, attorneys, witnesses, etc. It was the last one to leave here in that direction. It reached White Haven about noon. The passengers were noti fied then that there was no hope of get ting to the county seat or returning home. A number of them struck t® the train, however, and it worked its way to Wilkesbarre, arriving in the latter city aftor 8 p. rn. The balance of the passengers laid over in White Haven Monday night. On Tuesday they succeeded in reaching their destination at 4.: i() p. in., after a ride of six hours. The entire party came home at 11 o'clock Tuesday night over the Pennsylvania road to Hazleton, froin whicli town they reached Freeiand partly by trolley and partly on foot. It was an experience that many will not forget for years, and has helped to make several converts for the new county. On Monday afternoon all efforts of the Lehigh Valley officials t.o keep open this division were abandoned and no tickets were sold or freight accepted until further notice, by orders of the division superintendent. Yesterday eighty men were at work near Jeddo tunnel digging a Lehigh Valley snow-plow out of a drift forty five feet deep. Four engines succeeded in pushing a snow-plow to Freoland yesterday from the Lumber Yard. Thev reached here at 5 o'clock In the afternoon. No passenger trains arrived or depart ed after the tie-up until this morning. All are running on schedule time today, the cleaning crows having succeeded in opening up the line in both directions. After the arrival of the D. S. A- S. passenger train at Drifton Monday even ing, several hours late, traffic on this road was shut down and no attempt was made to move the trains until yesterday, w.ben the line was partly opened. At Drifton extra forces of men were kept hard at work preventing tb en gines from freezing. Doing unable to house ail the locomotives, a number had to 9taud outside and constant work was required to keep their machinery free. On the Upper Lehigh branch of the Jersey Central the last train out Mon day evening succeeded in reaching White Haven. The road has since been tied up. but will likely be opened today. Three engine* pushed their way into Upper Lehigh with a plow last evening. MAIL SERVICE DELAYED. Postmaster B. F. Davis and Assistant Johu Smith have had easy times this week. No mail from outside of town arrived from 7 o'clock Saturday evening until 7.40 o'clock this morning. However, the tons of mail matter en route will keep them busy for some time to come. The failure, to receive mail gave to many people peculiar feelings. The business men missed their usual stack of letters and circulars and*the readers of city newspapers could get. nothing but j Sunday sheets to fill th void. On Monday the TRIBUNE was wel- | coined by town subscribers and on Tues- ; day the Prog*en* passed through the ! postoffice. This was thn only reading j matter obtainable until the Hp faker reached here at 10 o'clock yesterday. The saddest part of the storm's effects was the sorrow which the maidens of town experienced on Tuesday in not re ceiving their long-expected valentines from out-of-town admirers. Many trips were made to the postoffice on this ac count by girls who at any other time of the year would not have cared how long the mails might be delayed. ALL WORK SUSPENDED. All unnecessary work around the mines was suspended on Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday hundreds of men were given employment clearing the tracks around the breakers. At No. f Jeddo and No. 2 Highland work was resumed yesterday and several empty railroad cars were loaded, after which these mines shut down until more cars arrive. Oakdale collieries are good for a week's idleness, owing to the tre mendous drifts between the breaker and Freeland branch of the Valley railroad, which will prevent cars retelling there for some time. ISI THE VALLEYS. 11l Butler and Conynghani valleys the snow cevered the township roads to an average depth of six feet. The farmers turned out in force on Tuesday and cut their way through the drifts, and there is direct communication as far as the Sweltz. Iu Sandy and Oley valleys everything is snow-borind, and it is uot known when the corporations which attend to the township roads will relieve the in habitants. lantallirig Air Motor*. The successful use of air motors in Driftou mines has induced U. B. Markle A* Co. to make preparations to give them a trial in their big colliery, No f> Jeddo. Four fifteen-tou motors have been de livered at the colliery and will be taken inside this week. This is a larger type of motor than is used at Drifton, aud great result!) are expected from them. The four motors are count ed upon to displace at least sixty mules. The motors will be run by compressed air. Two huge compressors are on the ground at No. r> aud will be placed in position in the engine house. Air pipes have been laid dewn the trial slope, and in a few weeks the officials expect to have tbe coal hustled around with the aid of the new motive powor. A Miracle In Either ('iiae. As Pat came to the door ol' bis em ployer's library tbe —-ter was in tin* act of putting a bottle of liiinor in tbe closet. Closing aud locking the door of the repository, he turned to Pat and said: "If I should go away aud leave that tempting beverage within your reach, it would be a miracle if you dldu't drink it all." "Beggln' yer pardon, sor," answered Pat, "but it'd be more of a utericle ef ye'd be givin' me the chance." Advice. Old Doctor—"Now. my boy. lei me give you a word of advice before you cut loose aud bang out your shingle." Young Doctor—"l sbal! be glad to receive it, I assure you." Old Doctor—"Whenever you are call ed upon to prescribe for a woman make her put out her tongue, so that you may study it thoroughly. This will seldom help you to determine what, her trouble Is. bill a woman can't talk while she has her tongue out." Had Seen Them. A newly married lady was telling another how nicely her husband could write. "Oh. you should see some of his love letters!" "Yes, I know," was the freezing re ply; "I've got n bushel of them In my trunk." Ilia Only Chance. Mrs. Peck—Henry, 1 wish you would break yourself of the habit of talking in your sleep. It' very annoying. Mr. Peck—But. my dear, you surely wouldn't deprive me of my only op portunity, would you? -Dr. David Kennedys favorite Remedy I CURES AIL KIDNEY STOMACH I LIVER TROUBLES.
