A Hazloton dispatch in the Philadel phia Presn yesterday road us follows: "The anti-Quay supporters of this, the Fourth legislative district of Luzerne county, have now perfected a perman ent organization and will at once begin the campaign for state delegates. They have named Amandns C. Oswald, a prominent Freeland merchant, and .1 11. Malkames, a school teacher, as their candidates for state delegates. Both men are ardent supporters of the Repub lican cause, men of good character and who have openly declared against Qnay ism and Quay methods. Although the contest will be the most bitter in years, the success of the anti-Quay supporters is conceded. The movement seems to be gaining strength dally, and now in cludes the best element of the Republi can party." In conversation with a TBIIUNK rep resentative last evening Mr. Oswald authorized us to state that he is not a candidate for state delegate. He has not been asked and has no desire to engage in politics, as his business affairs occupy his entire time. Harry Levy Uitlilied. Harry Levy, formerly a clerk in Non burger's store, now employed in Living stone's store, Tamaqua. was, according to the Tamaqua Register % the victim of a base attempt at burglary Sunday night. Mr. Levy retired at the usual hour to his room in the United States hotel and was awakened shortly after midnight, lie was surprised to see the window of his room open and on turning about perceived a figure passing through the doorway. He instantly gave the alarm, but the robber could not be found. Mr. Levy had before retiring snugly tucked a roll of bills in his bureau drawer, and the light-fingered visitor pilfered his trousers' pockets of but 40 cents in coin. Firemen Order UniCorum. The Citizens' Hose Company met last evening and received bids for the furn ishing of new uniforms. There were four competitors, Joseph Neuburgcr, S. Senie, M. Uofowich and an Allentown firm.

The large Bessemer iron blast furnace of the Carbon Iron and Steel Company, at Parryvillo, below Mauch Chunk, was lighted Tuesday evening, after an idle ness of tliroe years.

Mrs. Eliza Spraguo. an old and re spected resident of White Haven, died on Tuesday morning from ailments incident to old ago. Mrs. Spraguo was aged 70 years. She is survived by three daughters and three sons. Crew Almost Asphyxiated. The crew of a Philadelphia and Read ing freight train had a thrilling ex perience in East Mahanoy tunnel Mon day evening. A long train of heavy gondolas, loaded with bituminous coal, was being conveyed through the tunnel, and when in the midst the steam of the forward engine, for some inexplicable reason, was Insufficient to take it farther. The pushing engine made vain efforts to move the train ahead, and both engines puffed the tunnel full of bituminous sulphur. The crew, almost exhausted, wore fast being driven to desperation. The engineer sank to the floor of the cab unconscious. Noticing this, the flre nifin jumped into the cab and made an almost superhuman effort, and succeed ed in slowly starting the train, which then proceeded through the tunnel. About Card* of TliankH. The Stroudsburg Times offers the following timely advice to Its readers. The same is applicable everywhere: "Cards of thanks to neighbors and friends for courtesies received on oc casions of death and bereavement, printed in a public newspaper, are in very bad form. They are out of fash ion. Don't have them printed any more. There is no necessity for them. We are not living in a barbaric com munity. We. are living among civilized people where our neighbors and friends gladly and cheerfully render all the kindness they can at times of bereave ment. They don't expect a card of public thanks and its bad form to make one." Tlie Stationary I IHIICI. "Can you oblige uie with a sheet of Pajwrr "And an envelope?" "And a postage stamp?" "No. but here's 2 cents." "Thank you, that will do just as well." "Don't you want me to bring you a letter box?" "Pin afraid it will lie too much trouble." "Not at all. If you'll wait around here half a minute I'll call up the postal department at Washington." "May 1 ask for?" "I'm going to request them to put the postotficc on wheels and have it follow you around." "How kind. I'm afraid this paek age is a little heavy for one stamp. Haven't you '1 cents more?" Training; for tlit Kvoil. "Why, professor. I wasn't aware that you went in for athletics to this ex tent." "I don't ordinarily, but <biffl-I've got to (bipg) discharge our cook next week (oaug). , % • IOIIII'H ltuttnr-Mukini; Chill*. "I notice there's n good deal of ague in this part of the country." said the tourist, who had stopped at the farm house for a drink of water. "That's n great drawback. It unfits a man for work entirely, does it not?" "Genrd'ly it does." said the sallow woman who handed him a tin cup. "Still, when John has a right hard tit of the shakes we fasten the churn dasher to him. and lie brings the butter inside of lifteen minutes," Impeachment of Three Judge*. A stir was created in Scranton on Tuesday by the announcement that pro ceedings had been commenced at Ilarris burg to impeach Judges R. W. Arch bald, F. W. Gunsterand H. M. Edwards, of the court of Lackawanna county. A petition was read in Lite lower house at Harrisburg. by Representative Fow, of Philadelphia, requesting the impeach ment. The impeachment is asked on tho ground of certain alleged unconstitu tional acts in connection with the trial of the cases of John and James Jennings against the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, which grew out of (he disaster at Mud Run. Carbon county, on October 1(1. 1888. The case of John Jennings against the company was tried September 29, 1892, and a verdict of $5,000 granted iu favor of the plaintiff, which was set aside by the trial judge as excessive. From that time to this the court has been attacked. So sensational were many of the' statements made that Cornelius Smith, attorney for the Jennings, was dis barred. He appealed to the supreme court and the disbarment was su>tained; but lie was permitted after two years to make application for reinstatement, provided he did not in the meantime re peat the offome*. When Smith several months ago ap plied for reinstatement Judge Purdy, of Wayne county, who passed upon the matter, refused to allow Smith to return to the bar. Last fall he went before tiie voters of Lackawanna as a cadidate for judge on a platform that contained a recital of his alleged wrongs. Ho was defeated and immediately tried to have tin; election of his successful rival. F. W. Gunster, set aside. In this ho was also unsuccessful. Ho has heretofore endeavored to get the attorney general of the state to be- j gin impeachment proceedings against the Lackawanna judges. Great Telephone Deal. At Albany on Monday tho American Telephone and Telegraph Company filed a certilieato with tho secretary of state announcing an increase In tho capital stock of 875,000,000. Tills is 850,000,000 over the former capitalization, and one of the heaviest increases that lias ever been recorded. The American Bell Telephone Company, chartered under the laws of Massachusetts, is the parent of the American Telephone and Tele graph Company, as it also Is of the Now York Telephone Company. It is said that the purpose of the in crease was to absorb the parent con cern, tho American Bell Telephone Company, so that the latter could work under the liberal and elastic charter which tho American Telephone and Telegraph Company holds in New York state. The corporation laws in Massa chusetts arc strict and rigidly enforced, and several times the Bell Company lias run afoul of them. Tiie capital of the Belt Company is less than 820,000,00(1, but this does not represent Its market value. Its net earnings are about $4,200,000 annually, and it lias a tremendous surplus.

EGO DECORATING. 1 WHAT CAN BE DOME IF YOUR TOUCH IS ARTIST C. | Some Onuint \\ Licit Are l-'.utlly Car ried Into Lxecutlvu-How tiortd anil Humor Muy I • liiexi*nivly l)is played lSy Skillful Hand*. Should egg shell work ever become popular it must be introduced at this season when eggs are so cheap that it [ costs but little to experiment with them. A foreign paper declares thai this form of faney work Is becominj. l fashionable and that it lends itself k artistic designs, which at first might seem incredible. Toe materials for making a school master consist of an empty egg shell, a frill of white tisstte paper, a little cardboard and enough black silk k cover the cap. These, with some very strong, clear gum or glue are the stock in trade, with a little black paper to cover the white cardboard of the tiny stand. This latter is made from :i small square of cardboard one hub ami n half square and on it is glued a round of cardboard one inch high and two inches and a half in length before it is joined together for a collar. The frill ot white tissue paper is three quarters ol an Inch high and the size of the trencher board across is two inches and a half. There is a tassel, of course, made of strands of black silk and this silk, with which the cap is covered, must be of a dull description or else it will bear no resemblance to the origi nal cloth. Of course, the egg itself is the head, the features being drawn with black ink. The gray bat is a clever and original design, composed of black paper and an eggshell, also stained black, India ink or a very good black ink being used. The egg forms the body of the bat. The measure eight inches from JS , —f" <3? 1—""" tip In tip. The paper lias a fold in it which forms tile feet of tile lull. Tills Is strongly (lined to the hack of the ugg shell and a string Is also fastened for it to hand h.v. Two tiny pointed pieces of paper arc stuck on as ears, and a touch of Chinese white Is given for the eyes, nose and mouth. Another novelty is the embroidered egg. It is soaked in vinegar to make it a little soft before working and the work is done with the tincst needles procurable. The small uueveniiesses in the surface of the egg are the safest places in which to plant a stitch. For those who like work Unit can lie done quickly and who enjoy a joke the artist presents some ideas'whieii re quire only a few strokes of pen or peueil and some simple paper cutting EASTER LILIES.
