STAR SHOE STORE, HUGH M ALLOY, PROP., Centre and Walnut Streets. OFFERED SI,OOO TO WITHDRAW Lloyd Is Said to Have Re fused Above Sum. Contest Papers Not Yet Filed by the Controller. Politicians Trying to Patch Up the Republican Break. Today's Wllkesbarre Record says: "The appearance about the court house yesterday of Arthur E. Dick, of Ilazle ton, the nominee for controller, and several other politicians of more or less note led those not on the inside to be lieve that a settlement of the controller ship muddle was pending. While ne gotiations were on, nothing was accom plished and the politicians went home much disappointed. Another effort will bo made, with more prospects of success. "There was a report in the court house corridors that Controller Lloyd had been offered 81,000 in cash and a deputyship to gracefully stop down and out and fall in line for Mr. Dick. This was denied by both partios to the bar gain. The controller has had his con test papers ready for more than two weeks, and as he has neither filed them nor stated just what stand he will take, the public is at a loss to account for a delay. Some of the court house leaders wish to avert, if possible, an airing in court, while others do not care a rap what the controller decides upon, and as one of the latter stated yesterday, are perfectly willing to allow the band to play. Monday Is Card Day. Monday next is card day for tho United Mine Workers of District No 7. On this date the working cards of the union miners in the Lehigh region and Panther Creek valley will bo inspected at the collieries by committees appointed for this purpose. With the exception of a vory few, the employes of every mine in the district are members of the United Mine Work ers. It Is the desire of the officials of the union, and in some places the desire is shared by tho operators, to gather into the organization every-inan who is eligible to join. Those who have so far neglected to make application for membership should delay no longer, as tho union mon will not work with non-union employes after Monday noxt. Another reason for join ing at tho earliest opportunity Is the fact that in the near future tho admis sion foe in District No. 7 will be In creased. In order to accommodate all members who are in arrears, Local Union No. 1499 will hold meetings at the Grand opera house hall on Friday evening at 7.30 o'clock and on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. No excuse will be accepted from those who fail to avail themselves of those opportunities to procure working cards. With Speed and Curves. In its report of tho game of ball played at Tamar|ua on Saturday, the Register of that town has tho following on one of the local men who assisted in defeating liazleton team: "By tho w ay, we also had McGoehan— Con McGeehan —a young man who hails from Drifton. They told us he was a pitcher with speed and curves to burn. We felt a little anxious when he got on the slab, hut he soon relieved our mind. As soon as he began shooting tho sphore at Lawler, it was evidont that he knew Kodol Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat.

"He made those Hazletonlans look like childron without a home. Those who didn't strike out managed to knock a measly fly or a slow grounder and by the time the smoke of battle had cleared away they had actually accumulated two hits and one tally. "Not only did McGeehan pitch profes sional ball, but he also baited terrifical ly, having four swats out of five at tempts with the stick. He is all right and can play In our back yard 'til the cows come home." Returned the Bids. The contract for the erection of a now room In Washington street school building was not awarded by tho direct ors last evening, as intended. Esti mates were received from Contractors James E. Griffith and Lewis 11. Lentz, but owing to some misunderstanding tho former gave figures on one school room and a supply room, while the latter presented figures for the school room only. As the board desired separate bids for each of these rooms, in order that tho erection of the supply room might be postponed If the cost should be more than expocted, the proposals were re turned to tho contractors, with instruc tions to prepare and submit separate estimates on the rooms at a meeting to bo held tomorrow evening. John Rogan was awarded the contract to remove the ashes from the Ridge street school at the price offered, $3. Tho building committee reported hav ing had considerable difficulty In pro curing figures for the cleaning of Ridge street building. The women who do this work are averse to whitewashing the rooms. The committee was in structed to continue at work in the matter until the next regular meeting, also to have necessary repairs made to all the school buildings. The text book and supply committee was instructed to procure prices before the next regular meeting on the books and supplies required for the coming term. Death of Peter O'Donnell. Peter O'Donnell, supervisor of Foster township, died yesterday morning at his home in Coxe addition, aged 63 years. About a year ago the deceased was strlckon with paralysis, and although he recovered and resumed work his health was shattered by the stroke. For some weeks past he had been very low. and the recent action of Coxe Bros. fc Co., In notifying him to vacate his home, which the corporation owns, be cause some of his sons were among the Drifton shop strikers, gave him much worry and undoubtedly hastened his death. The deceased was a resident of Drif ton and Freeland for more than a quarter of a century and during this period was an employe of tho firm which gave him such anguish in his old days. He Is survived by his wife and the following sons and daughters: Andrew, Patrick, Peter and Neil and Mrs. Daniel McLaughlin and Miss Hannah O'Donnell. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, followed by a requiem mass at St. Ann's church. In terment at St. Ann's cemetery. Boxing Contest Tonight.

Both McOee and Quigley arrived in town yesterday and report themselves in excellent condition for the twenty round bout. A preliminary contest for six rounds between John Carr, ef Highland, and Hugh McDyer, of town, will be given, and as both have many admirers this will attract much attention from local people.
