They contained the names of all the candidates, but the one who circulated them had scratched off the names of all his rivals. Citizens would do well to reject all these tickets, procure clean and unscratched tickets and do their own scratching. In any event nobody should put a ticket in the ballot box unless he has given it personal inspection and is certain that it has been marked precisely as he wishes it to be.

estate officer of the company and a member of the board of directors, Mr. Ritter speculated heavily in several securities chiefly in the stock of the Citizens' Passenger railway, of Indianapolis, and had also been concerned in a number of real estate deals in New Jersey and elsewhere. He became deeply involved, and to meet certain obligations drew four drafts an Mr. Cook, of New York, to which were attached bills of purchase for certain securities. The drafts aggregated $200,000 and bore the signature of Mr.

Ritter and the name (by rubber stamp) of the Solicitors' Loan and Trust company. The drafts were taken by Mr. Ritter to the Tradesmen's National bank of this city, whose cashier, J. A. McKee, instead of entering them for collection, paid Mr.

Ritter the $209,000 in cash. The drafts were returned from New York dishonored. President Clay, of the Solicitors' company, consented to furnish the Tradesman's bank with a bond of $150,000, without waiting for the authority of his directors. The directors were ignorant of the creation of this obligation, it is said, until Sunday last, nearly two weeks after the event occurred. A hurried meeting of the board was held and the action of the president and the bond given by him were jointly repudiated.

The Tradesmen's bank threatened to bring suit for the $150,000 and the assignment of the Solicitors company was then decided upon by the Through worriment of the affair Mr. Ritter has become critically ill and he is now lying at the point of death. Cashier McKee, of the Tradesmen's bank, has retired from the service of the institution. Extra Entertainment in Course of Lectures.

E. BUTLER, Candidate for City Treasurer, to be Voted for at the Bepublioan Primaries To-night. David Edward Butler was born in Chambersburg, Franklin county. April 17, 1S(52. He is the son of Solomon and Sarah Isabell Butler, both deceased.

At the breaking out of the rebellion his father enlisted in the union army and in the service of his country sacrificed his life on the 10th of January, 1804. On July 30, of the second year, the rebels burned the town of Chambersburg and 'twas only through a herculean effort of his mother that Baby Butler was saved from being burned in the home in which he was born. After living in school houses and barns until the proper shelter could be provided, his mother remained in Baid place until the fall of 1872, when she moved with her family to this city, where Mr. Butler has since resided. Young Butler received his early education in the Soldiers' Orphans' school at Loysville, Perry county, and the common schools of this city, and finished the Bame in the Mil-lersville State Normal school.

Upon his return from Millersville he applied for a school in Logan township, and after passing a very satisfactory examination, he was awarded the graded school in Mill-ville, a suburb of this city, the same of which he taught with success. He also taught a portion of the term of the school known as the "Smithtown" school. He then entered the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad company in the capacity of time-keeper under George W. Slay-man, which position he held some four or five years, when he was transferted to Shop Clerk Kendig's office, to occupy a similar position, the same of which he held until promoted to shop clerk and storekeeper. He held the last position until the 1st of April, 1895, when he resigned to take charge of the Bee Hive novelty store of this city, and after five months of successful business career, he disposed of the same to an advantage.

You will notice he never retrograded, but always advanced. If all could know him as does the writer, you would, like myself, wonder how a person, handicapped as he was by the support of a widowed mother and a physical disability he did not become discouraged if not disheartened, as some of the difficulties which he had to overcome were high." Nay, endowed with an indomitable will, which was characteristic of his mother, he brushed aside every obstacle and attained the above results. To-day he possesses the proper standing which is a necessary requisite to any official office and coupled with that he also possesses the personal magnetism which makes him one of those "good fellows." He is a self-made man out and out. A Friend. WATER SOAKED.

ALTOONA, JANUARY 4, 1896. The second attempt to inaugurate a Btrike among the street car men of Phila delphia was a flat fizzle. Senator Sherman delivered his prom ised financial speech yesterday. Con' sidering the standing of the man and the importance of the subject the report of its contents is decidedly meagre. Mr.

Sherman is of the opinion that the revenues should be increased to the level of the expenses, while the treasury fund for the redemption of the greenbacks should be increased to $100,000,000 by the issue of bonds, the said sum 000,000 to be kept locked up and used for no purpose save that specified in the act setting it apart. Commencing to-morrow the Protestant Sunday schools that use the international lesson system will begin a study of the life of Christ as contained in St. Luke's gospel, continuing it during the first half of the year. Luke's gospel is in many respects the most complete of all the sa cred narratives and affords a very satis factory view of the life of the most re markable man who ever trod this planet Some men and women who in other days were members of the Sunday school, but who have long since dropped out, would do themselves a favor, perhaps, and they certainly would revive old memories, if they were to turn over a new leaf and resume their studies in the Sunday school to-morrow. They will find the lesson in Luke and a very interesting one it is, telling how a certain priest, while attending to his duties in the temple, was visited by a messenger from the heavenly land and told that he and his wife, both well advanced in years, were shortly to become the parents of him who was destined to be the forerunner of the wondrous Man.

His name was to be John; he was to be led by the Divine Spirit from the beginning; he was to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and bring many to re pentance. He was to be great in the sight of the Lord, which is the most important thing that can happen to any man and furnishes ample amends for all the mishaps that can befall one, even to imprisonment and premature death. John was a heroic character. His life record is more fascinating than a romance. The republicanjprimaries for the nomination of candidates for city and ward officers will be held this evening from 5 to 8 o'clock.

Candidates for mayor, city controller, treasurer, school directors and city assessors will be chosen on the general ticket. The First, Third, Fifth and Seventh wards will name candidates for select, the other wards for common council. There will also be the usual precinct officers to put on the ticket. Each voter should see that he has two tickets one containing the names of aspirants for city honors, the other the precinct ticket. Particular attention should be paid to the fact that two tickets are to be voted, as it is alleged that some voters do not seem to be aware of it.

In each precinct, too, the voter should write upon his ticket the names of two reputable and energetic republicans who will act as members of the city executive committee. The Tribune has said everything that it can think of toward rousing voters to a sense of duty toward the city and the party. There is no question of the importance of selecting candidates who have the ability and the inclination to administer the affairs of the city in an economical and efficient manner. If the business men, the mechanics, the laborers who know what they ought to do, will do their duty to-day; if theyj will only step out of their homes for fifteen or twenty minutes, the republican party will have a ticket of which it may well be proud and which will certainly be elected. If they manifest a torpid and criminal indifference to the public welfare, putting their personal comfort and convenience above every other consideration, they will show themselves poor republicans and much poorer citizens.

Therb are some men in this city who evidently do not understand that whenever a party adopts a set of rules for the government of its primary elections those rales have all the force of law, being protected by the election laws of this commonwealth. Thus those who violate the provisions of a rule break the law of the commonwealth and render them selves liable to prosecution and punishment. Rule 6 imposes upon the city chairman the duty of printing and fur nishing to the city committeemen an abundant supply of tickets for use at the primary election. Rule 16 is as follows: No candidate shall be allowed to circulate in dividual tickets, or any ticket except those authorised by the chairman of the city committee under rule No. Among the goods damaged by water last week were a lot of wrappers, muslin and woolen underwear, corsets, silk and sateen waists, gloves, children's jackets, cloth skirts, etc.

The New York World yesterday printed an important and earnest appeal to President Cleveland to withdraw from the contract well nigh consummated with the Morgan bond syndicate and to throw himself upon the generous and patriotic spirit of the people.

The "World declares that the men who are prominent in the pending negotiations have already enriched themselves at the expense of the country. It alleges that "the most damaging thing that could happen to the republic would be the lodgment of a conviction in the people's minds that our government had become one of syndicates and bargains." The World asks the president why he should not trust the people to come to the rescue of the treasury "instead of having a syndicate to do so at an extortionate price?" It adds: If you make your appeal to the people they will quickly respond. There are $08,000,000 of gold in New York alone, to nothing of the hoards in othor You will have no difficulty In securing all of it that the treasury needs if you show "confidence in the people." So sure are we of this that The World now offers to head the list with a subscription of $1,000,000 on its own account. It will take that amount of 3 per cent, bonds, or it will take one million of 4 per cents on a 3 per cent, basis, and it will promptly find and furnish the gold with which to pay for them. The whole country would rospond with like alacrity.

It would not require a woek, it would hardly require a day, to sell $50,000,000 of bonds to the people ata fair prke. Why sell them to a syndicate at an unfair price aud with a secrecy which excites suspicion and distrust? Why should you not appeal to the patriotism of the rich as in case of war a call to arms would appeal to the patriotism of poor and rich alike? AVhy should you invite a great national scandal where you can as easily invoke a great national demonstration of devotion to the welfare of the country? Now is your time, Mr. Cleveland, to make war. Make war on fraud and wrong. Make war upon the usurpations of speculative wealth.

In this matter lies real peril to the Integrity of our institutions, and you have recently professed your readiness to go to war in thelrdefcnse at all costs and all hazards. Will you rise to the oc Are you equal to your golden opportunity? The Tribune has never felt that the World is a wise guide to follow. Certainly there are issues upon which it has clearly planted itself upon the wrong side. But it seems to have a better care on this bond business than on most other subjects which it has handled. It does seem outrageous that the people should be compelled to pay an extravagant price for a gold loan.

Nevertheless, it is well to remember that the responsibility rests upon the congress which refuses to change the law, not upon the president. HOLLIDAYSBTJBG HAPPENINGS. The Melange of News as Found in the County Capital. Thomas J. Baldriee, has returned from a holiday visit to Scranton.

The Week of Prayer will be observed during the coming week, the services beginning at 7.15 p. m. It has been suggested that one of the features of the approaching semi-centen nial anniversary oi Ulair county should be an evening parade oi illuminated and decorated bicycles. A lantern bicycle parade is a most attractive sight, and a meet all the wheelmen of the several towns and cities of central Pennsylvrnia will doubtless form an item on the anniversary programme. While the county commissioners have not as yet selected any design for the proposed soldiers' monument, it is un derstood that the monument erected at Gettysburg to the memory of the One Hundred and lenth regiment, Pennsylvania infantry, is a favorite with the board of commissioners.

Hon. Edmund Shaw, in his historical address, said of this regiment: "They were the sons of the mechanic, the farmer, the laboring man, the merchant and the professional man of that day. They came from the citv of Philadelphia and from the towns and villages and farms of Bedford, Blair, Centre, Clearfield and Huntingdon counties, and were the sons of the sturdy, industrious and patriotic people of those localities, who had no silver or gold with which to employ substitutes or to pay exemption from the military service, but who tendered their own flesh and blood in the performance of a public duty."
