The Salmon Iron Works, the town's newest industry, is forging ahead at a rapid pace, and a successful future is marked out for it. It. F. Salmon, since assuming the management, is untiring In his efforts to secure work, aod that he has succeeded can be attested by a visit to the plant, where miscellaneous jobs of various descriptions have almost crowded out the main article that was to bo manufactured by tiie company, namely, the Salmon car wheel and axle. At present rush work in the line of the hundred and one articles used about the breakers of the vicinity is being turned out. while the brick works at Pond Creek, the new brewery and other buildings in town require the attention of the dozen and a half employes in manufacturing articles for their use. Preparations are being made to start on a large scalo at an early date on the wheels and axles, the merits of which our roaders are familiar with, and by that time the complete success of the plant will be assured.

In ad dition to securing the appointment of a townsman as transcribing clerk, the only appointment Luzerne county receiv ed, he has been chosen chairman of tho committee on counties and townships. As the now county bill is to be again , introduced in the legislature, his ap pointment as chairman of the com- < mittee means that its passage will be aided by those who control legislation.

Second Ward Politics. There li a movement on foot among tha Republican voters in the Second ward to obey the call for a caucus issued by their borough chairman and to nomi nate another ticket instead of the one chosen last week. The indignation aroused by turning down School Direc tors Kline and Krommes by tho people who had control of the meeting on Sat urday evening is being felt In the ward, and the sentiment that the work of these directors entitles them to renoml natlon is spreading among their con stituents. Some of the men nominated for offi ces last week are steadfast in the claim that they were legally selected, and they refuse to sanction another caucus. It is certain that the meeting called by the borough chairman will bo largely attended by the ward voters, and that, it is claimed, moans a ticket different from the one now in the field.

Mr. Donnelly's latest effort Is a departure from conventional lines, Inas much as it is a bright vigorous and dramatic play, without the aid of any sensational clap-trap scenic effects.
