AFTER  THE  GREAT   BATTLE.
Who WUl  be   McOlnty'.   Lucky  Deputy,
and How Kvans Will _eglnlate for

From Lower Luzerne.
Hazleton, Nor. 12.
It is new some time since the readers of
The News-Dealer bave been favored with
a letter from yonr humble servant, and I
think lt wonld not be amiss to pen a few
lines at this time. Trne enough, Hazleton
is one of those towns where, sometimes, the
grass grows in its alleys, Broad street being
the main thoroughfare, and the only place
where a little amusement is, once in a while,
afforded. But Hazleton is never behindhand
in business and political matters, and like
many other towns when there il a county
office to be filled or an appointmeat to be
made,
THB APPLICANTS SPRING.  UP
from every nook and corner; but the old saying is that they do sometimes get left, no
matter what thdr standing in the community. And snch Will be tbe case with some
of those who are setting their caps to squat
down in the cozy chair in tbe Keoorder's office at Wilkes-Barre. McGinty, the recently
elected Recorder, will need two clerks, each
of whose salary will be $000 peryear, er $75
per month. Now, this is a snng little sum
for some young man to get who is striving to
elevate himself, and while I know that tben
are many yonng men in this lower end fully
capable of filling the required position, if
it shonld be tendered to one of them; but
McGinty
CANNOT PLEASE   EVERYBODY,
and he cannot appoint overy yonng man who
worked for hint daring the campaign, as
one of his deputies. He must also appoint
one of these deputies from the npper end, or
bis chances at any future time would be very
slim. McGinty said the other day that
ho wonld not make any appointments
for some six weeks at least, and he had
not yet made any promises to any one. McGinty will do well to nse his own good judgment in making the appointments, and not be
dictated to by party managers or flip-flop
new. pipers. He is a man of broad views,
and I think that the office of Recorder will
be filled by a man faithful to his trust, and
np to his word every time. There is considerable ham about the
RECENTLY ELECTED ASSEMBLYMAN,
D. M. Evans. Well, Mr. Evans was elected
by the votes of the workingmen; it was not
a Republican victory in the Fourth distrist
by any means, for that party bas seen its
best and palmiest days. Now, since Evans
has been mado the choice of the workingmen,
it will be well for him to nse every effort to
legislate ia tbeir interests. The present
strife betwen capital and labor is a bitter
.one, and laws that will favor labor equally
with capital shoald be enacted. When Evans
was placed in nomination it was hinted that
he was the tool of several, monopolists of
tbis region, but I Have learned from one of
his most intimate friends that hs will have
■nothing whatever to do with any of the so-
called leaders.of the Republican party oi the
lower end. He it a member of tbe Knights
of Labor, and shonld he prove a black sheep
in that fold it will not be long ere the workingmen of tbe Fonrth district will set down
npon bim with all tbeir force. I believe that
Evans will do right, although Weaver, who
wonld bave made an excellent Representative,
has been sacrificed. Evans will legislate for
the workings en, and I have been told that
the bosses who wanted to dictate to him re •
ceived the cold shoulder. Alexis.

'The Thoasas Iron Company within the

spanning the Lehigh Valley railroad tracks
at the Hokendaqna l.rances. Thero are
fonr in nun ber and each contain several
tracks. By moans of these bridges the stock
ImnacB ef the furnaces are supplied. They
were so low that trains passing nnderneath
almast reached to the trestling. On account
of the lowness of these -ridges several train
brake-Gen were killed by being knocked from
the cars. Last summer the smokestack of
the new engine -"William Stevenson" was
knocked off by one of these bridges and the
engineer was killed. The bridges have been
raised eighteen inches."—Catataqua Valley

The engineer referred to as having been
killed waa Thomas Moore, of Wilkes-Barre.
If this bridge had have been raised long

INTO THE SCHUYLKILL REGIONS.
Opening of the Schuylkill Division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad to Pottsville.
Pottsville, Nov. 19.—On Monday the
Schuylkill Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad will be opened for travel and traffic to
to this pl.ee. The extension to Pottsville has
been bnilt in the same substantial manner for
which the eastern portion of the line is noted,
and it may be safely asserted that the 04.5
miles of road-bed betweea Philadelphia and
Pottsville is as fine as auy in the conntry.
The completion of this line opens a new and
important channel of communication with
the prosperous communities of the Schuylkill Valley, and at the same time furnishes a
direct route to the great anthracite region of
Schuylkill coanty. No branch of the great
Pennsylvania Railroad penetrates a section
richer in manufacturing, mining, and mineral
interests than this, and the advantages of being placed in direst eemmunication with a
railway system of snch far-reabbing and
wide-spreading connections, must bring inestimable benefits to all concerned.   *
A HEROIC RESCUE.
Thrilling Scene at a Flre ln Beading—A
Bravo Hotel-keeper Risks His Ufa to
Bave a Stranger—Ths Latter Taken Out
Fatally Bnrned.
Reading, Nov. 12.—A thrilling scene
occurred tbis morning at the burning af the
cooper shop and stable of Daniel Engle in
the southern section of this city. Tyson A.
Phillippi, proprietor of a neighboring hotel,
rushed into the blazing stable for the purpose
of rescuing a valnable trotting horse belonging to Mr. Engle, when he was greeted
with means from a human being. The building was by this time a mass of flames. The
fire roared and hissed, and had already enveloped it ln on every side. Mr. Phillippi
was driven back, blinded, by the smoke. He
rallied, and with almost superhuman effort
rushed in again and by the glare of the flames
saw a man lying on the floor of the cooper
shop, his head extending into the stable immediately adjoining. The man was moaning
piteonsly, and Mr. Phillippi catching bold of
him, carried him bodily into the open air.
His clothing was burning, and Mr. Phillippi
fearfully burned his bands in rescuing him.
The man was maddened with pain, and his
pbrenzy he made a desperate attack on Mr.
Phillippi, and the latter bad to knock bim
down in order te keep bim off.
He then tore his clothing from his body,
and as he did so the skin and pieces of flesh
came along. The man was burned brown
from his waist to his feet, and the npper portion of his body where the flames did not
reach was also badly blistered. He was taken
to tho City Hall, where he gave the name of
Charles Edward Lyman, and his' age as forty-
five years. From the City Hall be was removed to the Reading Hospital, where he is
lying in an unconscious condition.
The hospital physicians say that there is no
chance for his recovery, as he inhaled * considerable flame. While being taken to the
City Hall several of his fingers dropped off.
Lyman is a stranger here, and it is supposed
that he entered the stable dnring the night in
search of a sleeping place. The scene of the
fire is visited by hundreds of persons.

to give him a hug that was anything but
pleasant. Inman's screams for help soon

A RATTLING MILL.
Two Fugullsts Fight Until Neither U Able
to Stand Up.
New TOBK, Nov. 12.—"Bill" Davis,
weight 115 pounds, and "Jack" Kenney,
who tips the beam at 120 pounds, fought
with two-oun<ie gloves to a finish, Marquis of
Queensbury rules, near Rockaway, early this
morning,
Tbe sport was witnessed by abont fifty
sporting men from New York and Brooklyn,
who made up a subscription purse of $150 for
the fight. ' Davis was seconded by J. .Smith
and "Jack" Farrell, while "Tommy'• Danforth, the champion featherweight, nnd William Kenney stood up with Kenney. Kenney wore lavender trunks and canvass shoes,
and Davis appeared in white trunks and
kid sheas. Thirty-two rounds were fought,
resulting in considerable damage to the
manly beauty of the participants. Tha first
seven rounds were uneventful and excited,
both men sparring for an opportunity. It
came to Davis in the eighth round and he
canght Kenney in the left eye, making a
mouse-colored swelling then. The next nine
rounds were evenly fought, Davis getting all
the advantages in the infighting and Kenney
showing best in straight hitting. Rounds
eighteen, nineteen and twenty:—
Davis tried to rush Kenney, resulting in a
series ot clinches aad falls. Rounds 21, 22,
23, 24:
Davis was weak, but Kenney failed to
take advantage by trying to get in on bim
withont getting anything in return. In
rounds 25, 2B, 27 and 28, there was exceedingly hot work, Kenney being knocked down,
and in retnrn sending Davis through the
ropes by a clean left-hander. Both wire beginning to show their punishment, Davis'
nose being swelled to enormous proportions,
his lips cut, and the side of his face mnch
braised, while Ksnney's eye was nearly closed
and his face badly battered. In the twenty-
eighth round Davis claimed a fonl, and refused to fight on, but after some talk was
induced to oome to the mark again. In round
twenty-ninth Davis got in a terrifio righthander, completely elosing Kenney's left eye,
and ia round thirty both men came np very
groggy, but also very desperate, and ths
fighting for the round was done all over the
ring. At the end of the round the men
oould hardly walk to their corners. In round
thirty-one they almost tottered to the centre,
and at the call of "time" th^J-anyaergel
each other for dear life, abandoning all attempts at science. At the end of the round
both fell down from sheer weakness, and although they toed the mark for another
round, the referee decided the fight a draw.
LUZERNE BOROUGH.
Luzerne Bonouan, Nov. 18. —Althongh
the News-Dealeb had a very complete account of tht Veterans encampment last Snnday, there were a few points that might be
added that will be read with interest.
Women who had the tables to attend to
ware congratulated on all sides for their good
work.
The citizens made a rush to see the veterans at the table, and the hall was quickly
tilled, aad all was mirth and jollity.
Darkin, whose msny wonnds showed
bravery in the war and who was a leading
spirit in these gatherings, until his death,
was sadly missed.
Pace, wbo lost a limb ia the service and
who was among the comrades at ths reunion
laat year, was absent, having died only a few
months ago.
Wm. Moses, who bnt a few days before
was making arrangements fer this dinner and
encampment of ths soldiers; his manly form
was missing. Alas! he, too, is gone. His
tender heart and sensitive spirit oould not endure blame and remorse, and tha comrades
whs are here to-day bnt a short time since
followed him to his grave and fired the fare-
wall shot ever his tomb. After dinner and
speech-making was ended the soldiers formed
ia line to march to the place of encampment,
and as oss of them stepped to his place in
the ranks his wife stepped to hia tics asd
marched with him to the evident amusement
af tit* crowds whs lined each side of the
street. Near Perrin'a store the school children had gathered ready to meet them, and
tha ranks were opened to receive them, aad
they marched aa decorously as the eld soldiers. It was a day long to be rttnem Hsred.

Sunday papers in Luzeroe and vicinity dnring the month of October, which tells its
own story.
I, N. Vanarsdale, resident of Luserne borough, Pa., tlep.seth aad saith: That dm lag
the montb of October, 1886, be was the sole
agent for the sale of The Sunday News-
Dealeb and tbe Sunday Leader in Luzerae
borough and adjacent territory; and that he
ssid, during the month of October, nineteen
hundred and thirteen (1018) copies of The
Sunday News-Dealeb and one hnndred
nnd eighty-one (1811 copies of the Sunday
Lsader ; that he put both papers before every

that he couldn't sell.

Satisfactory Conclusion.
Washington, Nov, 18.— It is stated by
one of the Government counsel in the Bell
telephone salt that tke decision of the Court
at Cincinnati sustaining the plea of non-
jurisdiction will have no effect npon tho
Government in regard to the main issue at
stake. The suit Will be proceeded with ac-
oordiug to the original intention, and the
only question for the Government to decide
aow ia as to whether to take an appeal to the
Supreme Coart upon tbe validity of the Cincinnati decision, or to institute a new suit in
Massachusetts instead of Ohio. As soon as
the formal papers are reoeived from Cincinnati a conference of the Government counsel
will be held, and this question will be decided one way or the other.

I have heard it said ia pabllo that certain

to prevent tbe men ot every nationality from

true, but for myself I believe the men of Ao

much Intelligence to be deceived and divided

on the buffalo range, and till buBfily engaged. _* thetr deadly work of slaughtering bison.    Take/a-i^mr.v, _6r eXiwaple,

Tbey were well momited on. Cayase* ponies, with Sharp's forty-flvo caliber rifles,
and at that time about thirty miles north
of tho   Yellow*tsone rives* iii- the. aery
midst of tens of thousands' of Buffalo.
We sfcfuck their trail  long before* we
reached their camp,, which was very easily followed by the number of buffalo
carcasses lining tho route..   Tho first* day
their party had killed twelve, next* day
nineteen; third day thirty-six, and fdui__
day 114, and still the fun was'going on_
Twenty-four hours later our commanti
encountered another band of sportsmen*
(majority English gentlemen), who were
also doing their level' best to oxtenninuts
the noble animals, but- they wore a little,
nearer the hostile oountry, and consequently deeper into the buffalo herds,.
and therefore had moro animals to hunt,
than their neighbors in tho rear. Tho*
day before we crossed the divide audi
plunged direct into Sitting Bull's dominions we canto upon the lost band of hunters, or at least the Band which had ventured furthest from civilization, who.
were surrounded by more buffalo than I
ever believed were in existence. I saw
one herd alone that must have numbered
15,000 or 80,000, besides hundreds of small
herds from 80 to 500, dotting the plains
and scattered through the river bottoms.
I found them up in the mountains whero
a pony could hardly climb. Now, this
last party of hunters were out strictly
for business and not pleasure. They
were killing bison for the tongues alone,
not even taking the skins. They had a
small pack train with them of about
thirty mules, and were pretty nearly-
ready to start back to civilization, having
secured a full load of tongues, or as
many as their animals coubj carry. Such
has been tho wanton destruction of dur
gamo in the northwest during-past years
that to-day thero is scarcely a single bison ■. •
tej_*in the vast region that was once tho
home of millions. With the wonderful
bands of elk that used to throng the-
mountains and valleys of Montana and
Idaho it is the same old story. All gone,
or nearly so, and not a saving law by national or territorial governments to protect them.
Plenty Ooues, a chief of tho Crow
Indian tribe, camped a few miles from
this fort at the present writing, is just-
about returning from a rath_r successful
hunting trip in the Big Horn mountains,
during which time his bucks* captured
40 elk, 187 deer, and 11 mountain lions
or panthers. I asked old Plenty Coues
bow tho game were getting on,.but the
old chief only shook his head, and declared all wild animals were* getting
scarce. His party, .however, had had a.
successful hunt, as the elk meat and deer
meat would keep hunger from tho doors-
of his forty-seven lodges during the coming w__ter, and, besides, the bounty paid
on lion skins would bring in considerable
cash. As a dollar is as big as a cart
.heel to an Indian, the $8 for* each- panther scalp, which they demanded in silver dollars, was worth more than all
their supplies secured on the trip. During the season of 1884, which was the last-
great slaughter year, there were* no less
than 1,000 hunters, professional and pleas,
ure seeking, scattered along the Une of ths.
Northern Pacific railroad in* Montana and
Idaho. These insatiable Nlmrods succeeded in clearing the oountry Of buffalo,
but their efforts were only partially successful regarding elk, deer, and' antelope-
Last year three buffalo bulls were-
gathered in by the cowboys on the-
Tongue river roundup in Montana, and
the boys thought they were in for lots of
fun; but the big fellows looked so lonesome and broken spirited and out of place
that the good natured cow punchers
hadn't the heart to kill them, so tho three
forlorn animals wore turned adrift on t_W
prairie to shift for themselves. As ij
happened, last winter was a severe crl
in Montana, a season of blissa-ds ani
snow storms and intense cold. While thi
domestic herds pulled through the cola
in good shape and with little damage*
con 1 d one believe that those poor old
buffalo brutes actually froze te. death.
Borne cowboys who were riding the
ranges the following spring looking np
their cattle, found all three, of the bulls
doubled up ln a ravine on tipper Powder
river, frozen stiff. It waa a aad and lamentable ending of a great race.
Excepting a few scattered bands
of antelope on the plains north of
tho Missouri river and the small
number of black and whit-tail deer
iu tho timber along the river bottoms, what little of the large game we
have left in the northwest i« congregated
In the Tellowtsone National park. Of
course there __. more or less elk, mountain sheep and deer fin the mount-tins
(Big Horn and Rocky ranges), but they
are a were handful to what the conntry
oould boast of ten yeare ago. The laws
of the National park forbid the hunting
of gamo within its,confines, and it does ih-
deed appear as if our big 'game were cognisant of tho fact, for nearly all tha * remaining species seem to have sought
refuge there—Fort Koogh Cor. Cleveland Leader.
