Indorsed the Chicago Platform.
Tho Democrats of Lackawanna county
have tho laugh on tho Republicans of
tho Third legislative district of that
county. Tho latter held their conven
tion the other day, and of course had a
committee on resolutions, as such bodies
usually have. That committee, or some
body for them, drew up a series of de
-1 durations, which were duly reported,
react to the convention and adopted witli
a shout. Among tho resolutions was
the following:
a Tlt Republican party of tho Third
assembly district of Lackawanna county,
iu convention assembled, reaffirm their
allegiance to the fundamental principles
of tbe Republican party as they were
formulated by its founders and affirmed
by the Chicago platform."
What is most remarkable is that not
a soul in that convention—officer, dele
gate, candidate or spectator—discovered
tho blunder. One of tho Republican
papers of Scranton next morning pub
lished the resolutions as they were
adopted by the convention, also without
discovering tho mistake made by the
committee.

MINES AND RAILROADS.
The committee of the Schuylkill Coal
Exchange has fixed the rate of wages to
he paid miners In that region for the
last half of June and the first half of
July at 92.30. This rate is 4 per cent
below the §2.50 basis, and is higher than
that paid last month. The Reading col
lieries are now working much better
time, averaging five days per week.
Reading Railroad Company has issued
orders to all its passenger trainmen not
to permit passongers to play cards while
on trains. This was brought about
through the fact that a gang of gamblers
from Reading and other places made a
practice of riding on certain trains and
fleecing the innocents.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad expects
to do a big excursion business tomorrow.
There is one New York excursion alone
which will require 120 cars, and the
superintendents of ull the branches
have been notified to forward every
available passenger car to New York.
The Ilarwood station on the D. S. &
S. has been closed. John F. Gallagher,
the telegrapher in charge, has been
transferred to Drifton to render service
at night.
The officials of the Dorranco colliery
refuse to yield to the striking employes
who do not want to use a new style of
safety lamp at their work.
Sentenced for Train Wrecking.
Oliver Ohl, of Taroaqua, aged 17
years, who on May 12 caused the wreck
on the Little Schuylkill Railroad, which
resulted iu the loss of two lives, was on
Friday sentenced in Schuylkill court by
Judge Marr to pay the costs, fines ag
gregating 8700 and to undergo an im
prisonment of three years and throe
months.
There were three indictments against
Ohl; first, placing an obstruction on the
tracks; second, murder; third, involun
tary manslaughter. Ohl, by the advice
of his counsel, pleaded guilty to invol
untary manslaughter, this plea being
satisfactory to tho commonwealtii and
agreed to by tho court.
In tho first case the court sentenced
the defondant to pav the coJts, a fine of
■-'"•oo ai I five two years imprisonment
at s<■ |• i ,ii.• and solitary confinement.
In the. s< "iid case he was directed to
pay the costs, a fine of 8200 and to serve
fifteen months' imprisonment, to date
l -oni iin xpiration of his first sentence.
The trainmen killed by Ohl's thought
less act were Samuel Grler, of Sharao
klu, engineer of the passenger train,
and John Siiort, of Philadelphia, fire
man of the coal train, with which tho
former train collided when it was
derailed.
Evans Guilty of Libel.
The libel case in which James Lough
ran was tho plaintiff and William
Evans, a reporter on the Ilazleton Sen-
Unci, tho defendant, was completed be
fore Judge McClure in court on Friday
and tho jury returned a verdict of
guilty. The defense did not offer any
evidence. Judge McClure in kis charge
to tho jury analyzed the law relating to
libel in away that the jurymen could
not help but understand. The main
allegation that cropped out iu the evi
dence was that the defendant, Evans,
had a malice against Loughran and this
had a great bearing upon tho jury.
The jury reached tho verdict on the
first ballot. Evans' counsel filed a mo
tion and reasons for a new trial.
The libel case against C. 11. Snyder,
formerly owner and editor of the Sen
tincl, and that grew out of tho same
article, has been nolle prossed.
The application for a new trial was
refused and Mr. Evans was sentenced
to pay a line of 825 and the costs of the
case.
Mr*. Mnrr Granted a l'enslon.
The Wilkesbarro Record on Saturday
announced that the first pension to a

ing out of tho Spanish war has been

tho death of her husband, Sergeant

I'olica Muddle in Court.
The fight between tho mayor of
Wilkesbarre and tho police committee
of council was taken into court on Fri
day when Mayor Nichols petitioned the
court to grant an injunction to prevent
select council from interfering with the
work of the police department. The
trouble arises from the action of the
mayor in making the police do spy work
on saloon keepers who sell on Sunday.
Councils say the police arc employed to
preserve the peace, not to break it,
which they do when they enter saloons
and call for beer in order to trap the
saloon men.
The police committee of councils
has served notice on all the policemen
that if they carry out the mayor's
orders they will subject themselves to
dismissal for conduct unbecoming to offi
cers. The court Is asked to decide
whether the councils have the power to
discharge policemen while carrying out
the orders of tho mayor.

Freeman, of Plttston, was murderously
attacked by James Plerro Friday after
noon at that place. Anthony G. Fas
mains died on Thursday. Ho was a
prominent Italian merchant. Freeman,
who was his friend, undertook to ar
range for the funeral. Ho was at
Undertaker Burns' placo when Plerro
entered and said he wantod the body.
After a few angry words he attacked
Freoman. Bums then threw hiin out.
Later while Freeman was walking
down the street, Plerro ranut hUto with
a drawn stiletto. Freeman ran, Plerro
close after him and Burns after Plerro.
The latter reached the Italian just as
he slashed at Freeman's back. The
stllei-to ripped his coat from the neck to
the waist, but did not injuro him.
Burns knocked Plerro down, disarmed
him and handed him over to the police.
Car Fell Into the Engine House.
John Stone, a miner, in the absence
of the engineer, on Thursday, entered
the West Shenandoah colliery engine
house, and turned on the steam. A
car was hoisted up the piano and over

t the steam. The car dropped into tho

and several thousand dollars worth of
machinery. Stone bandy escaped being
killed. He has been arrested.
