A number of his intimate friends are trying to Induce I*. M. Boyle, of Kings ton, to become an aspirant for the Democratic nomination for clerk of the courts. Mr. Boylo would certainly rnako a desirable candidate for the people of the lower end, he having resid ed in the Fourth district over thirty years and was always popular with the people. He never before had any poli tical aspirations, his ambition seeking a different direction. We know of no one in the county more deserving than Mr. Boylo. lie was always found assisting his party nominees at every election. He was not a Democrat for 303 days in the year, but added the two election days as well, and those two days wore always the hardest days he worked In the interest of his party, and with no re muneration whatever. Mr. Boylo is personally known to hundreds of voters here, and the placing of his name on the ticket would be only a small recognition of his services in the past.

Hero he created havoc by knocking the baskets to the floor. By this time the clerks summoned courage and drove the animal out of the place into a shed on tho opposite side of the street. Ho was only in for a minute until he reeled over and was dead. It Is supposed that.ho suffered a rush of blood to the brain, by a vein bursting. Vincent Highams Chosen Foster school directors met last ovon- Ing at Woodside building, with all present except Diroctor Doudt. The application of Harry Maue, of Hazleton, for the vacant position at liazle Brook school, was withdrawn. A ballot was then taken and resulted in the unani mous choice of Vincent Ilighains, of Sandy Run, as teacher. The appointment will undoubtedly please the people of the township, as Mr. Highams is a native of Foster and was looked upon by the taxpayers as having a better claim to the position than any outside teacher. Opera House Attractions. The Grand opera house will reopen on Soptember 11 with a lino presentation of "South Before the War." Two nights later Murray and Wesley, two Froeland favorites who made a big hit last season in "Finnegan's Rail," will produce "The Irish Pawnbroker."

DeWitt, cashier of the First National bank, Plymouth, has an nounced that he will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for congress. A number of Democrats have been urging Mr. DeWitt for several weeks and it is in response to these appeals that he has consented to allow his name to go before the convention. Mr. Do- Witt is one of Plymouth's leading citi zens and is popular with his townsmen. Coles in the Toils. James and Mary Cole, former resi dents of town, were arrested at Ilazle ton Wednesday night on charges pre ferred by the Humane Association.

An insane Hungarian escaped from Laurvtown asylum on Wednesday and started for Froeland. At Eckley he was given a ride on a bottler's wagon and came here and remained until yes terday, when he left to visit Lattiinor friends. The man is quiet at times, but is subject to violont spells.

An Unfounded Rumor. The report that Benjamin James, of Jeanesville, will be deposed as district organizer of the United Mine Workers and succeeded by a Schuylkill region man, is denied by men prominent in the organization.

A daring hold-up, which may result in murder, occurred Wednesday night on the public road between Ilunlocks and Shickshinny. While John Bankes, of Huntington township, was returning to his home from market he was stopped in a lonely spot by three men and ordered to hand over his money. He refused and showed fight, but was struck over the head in tho scullle which followed and was^rendered un conscious. His body was dragged Into the brush along the road and his pock ets rifled. An eight-year-old son who bad been asleep in the rear of tho wagon on awakening and realizing what was taking place escaped and made his way back to tho nearest farm house. A posse was quickly formed and was guided back by tho boy. The team was found tied along tho road and the body .near on tho opposite side. The body was brought to Ilunlocks, where* on examination it was found that the skull was crushed and small hopes are enter tained for his recovery. The authorities have no cluo as yot, but it Is thought It was tho work of tramps, as the road skirts the D. L. and W. Railroad at that place. BREVITIES.

"The mules' harness broke too easily, and that is the reason we had boys haul cars at the breaker," was what ono of the wltnessos told Coroner Roberts, of Lackawanna county, at the Inquest on tho body of Patrick Murray, of Scran ton, who was ground to death by the wheels of a heavy gondola at a colliery last Friday. Tho coroner's jury rendered a verdict censuring the company for placing such a low estimate on the lives of breakor boys as to utilizo them for heavy draught purposes. Parochial School to Open.
