CLERK OF COURTS
Former Lower Kud Resident May Air
nounce Himself as a Candidate.
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.

tomers ran pell mell behind the counters
and into the cellar. The stray animal
walked to a section where baskets of
fruit were displayed. 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school, was withdrawn.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."
A number of fine attractions have
boen booked and the management ex
pects to give the patrons of the house as
good a line of shows as can bo secured.
Candidate for Congress.
Asa K. 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. It
is claimed their children were ill-treated
and neglected and that the parents
are unfit persons to caro for them.
The parents were lined $lO and costs,
and the children were placed in care of
the Humapo Association, which will
provide them with homes.
Insane Man Escapes.
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. The authori
ties are after him and will take better
care of him in the future.
Will Sell Property.
The owners of the Moran property on
East Front street, near Centre, will oiler
the lot and buildings thereon at public
sale on Thursday, Septombor 20. The
site is an excellent one for business
purposes and ought to command atten
tion from investors.
Situation Unchanged.
There is yet no change in the labor
situation. The operators, speaking in
dividually, give no encouragement to
thoso who hope they will treat with the
men. Several have placed themselves
on record as opposed to granting any of
the demands.
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. Mr. James enjoys the
confidence of hfs fellow-men and the
national officers, and no fault has been
found with his work.
New Insurance Company.
The Mutual Fire Insurance Company,
of Iluzleton, is the title of a new in
surance company. The headquarters
have been established at Ilazleton, and
it is said that lower rates will boofTered.

FARMER BEATEN.
Three Men Attack Iliiu and Leave Him
IJneonicioun on the Itouil.
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.

Used Boys as Mules.
"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
