The Philadelphia Freu baa received esti mates whieh give Boyer 43,000 majority in the State. Citizens of Luzerne, rays the you are fully justified in modifying any favorable opinion you may have entertained concerning Mr.

Shorts. He has silently acquiesced in the most infamons assault ever made upon a citi zen of high character. This asiult upon Judge Rice was made for the sole purpose of nutting Mr, Shone In bis place. Lies, slander and abuse have been the instruments of warfare, and no honorable man wculd have per mitted such work ba done in hi) behalf as Mr, Shortz has given his sanction to. Politi cal ambition has turned bis bead, and he has forfeited all claim to your consideration as a man of honor.

While the Democratic friends of Tom Eng lish in this vicinity will detiro to further his political interests, and ass'st him in securing bis fences for nomination next year as County Treasurer, many of them caunot subordinate their; convictions of duty to gr.it fy any man's ambition even that of the chairman of the Democratic county committee and will there fore not vote for the boodle riogsters placed on their county ticket The good will go to the pol's early, cast his ballot and retire, leaving the way open for bis neighbor. The Scranton People is wrong in asserting that the Gazette "advises temperance Republicans to vets far Boyer and high license." It simply advises voting for Boyer. We re pudiate now, as in the past, the declaration of the State convention endorsing high license, and as coneistsntly favor Boyer's election to the office of State Treasurer (which can have nothing to do with the prohibition ques tion) as many who expect to vote the Third Party tioket will repudiate the declarations of that party in favor of woman suffrage. We stand on the plaliorm of the last National Convention, which declared that "the first concern of all good government is the virtue and sobriety of the people and the purity of the home, and we have yet to see the first sa loon, under either High License or Low Li cense, that promoted these things. The Democrats are circulating the report that Robinson has given up the fight They will find out different to-morrow.

Tom English waa around yesterday congratulating and otherwise playing the satisfied role with himself. He says Shorts snd the whole ticket will win, and he is now ready to bank on his nomination for the County Treas urership next year. But then, Tom is not in fallible as a prophet, you Col. Bain told a good story of Henry Clay, the other evening, in bis lecture on "Traits of Character." Returning home from Con gress, after the consideration of an impor tant measure, Clay was informed by an an gry constituent that he had received his last vote because of his action on the bill refeired to. The Kentucky statesman soon turned the conversation by inquiring about his con stituent's success in hunting; asked him if he had the same old gun yet, and when assured that he couldn't be induced to part with his old gun, although he admitted that it had miesed fire once or twice, Cay turned upon the old hunter and faid, "Here I've served you in Congress all these years, and juEl because I've disp'eased you in the cast ing of one vole, you propose to cast me aside and try a new man." The constituent Relented, of course, and pledged his vote to Clay There may be bere and there a voter who has not been quite faliefled with every act of Judge Rice, during his fourteen years' public service, but that is no reason for dis carding mm and placing upon toe bench a mere politician who has no standing or ex perience as a lawyer.

Judge Rice's unques tioned integrity, not lees than bis eminent ability, entitles him to a re-election. Work of the Grand Jury. Thd following' true bills were returned to court by the Grand Jury on Saturday Disturb ing religious meeting Thomas Nallis, W. M. Weatoott, pros; Larceny by bailee A.

Evangelist Need ham closed his labors in the above church yesterday by preaching in the morning from the declaration Of Caleb, found in Joshua 14, 8, "I wholly followed the Lord, my God." The preacher showed that the high aim of the Christian's life is to fol low the Lord; and if we are to follow him wholly and intelligently, we must study His life; we must believe His testimony, and ktep close to Him, through evil as well as through good report. In the afternoon Mr. Needham discoursed to a lull house from the word "Remember." 1st, remember what you were and what you are now; 2d, remember your faults to confess and forsake them; 3d, remember Lot's wife, and take warning.

The preacher showed with solemn emphasi how memory with a corruptable conscience constitutes the worm that never dies. At the evening service the church was crowded to overflowing. The theme waa the "Four Judgments." 1st, the judgment of the believer's sins, which Is past; 2d, the judgment of the believer's works, for reward; 3d, the judgment of the living Gentile natives, and 4th, the judgment of the great white throne. Mr. Needham paid a very high compliment to the pastor, the choir, the Christian workers and the Ladies' Aid Society.

In the aftermeeling fresh Cases of conver sion were manifested, and many persons testi fied to the good had received though Mr. Needham 'a visit The reverend gentle. man" left this morning, bearing with him the affectionate and practical good-will of the peo ple with whom he has labored.

SCOTT SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN DROWNED AT SCRANTON- Be Hires a Bone of XJveiymaa Shelly to Oo to Qreen Ridge and Meets Death on the Way The Body Not Yet Recovered. The news of the drowning of an unknown man in the Lackawanna river, on the Diamond Flats, at Soraotoo, yesterday morning, created nearly as much excitement here as It did In that city, Inasmuch as the unfortunate man is supposed to have been Edwin Boott, who Uvea on Elisabeth street, in the Oregon part of the town. Mr. Scott hired a hone and buggy from Lirery man David Shelly yesterday morning for the purpose of attending the funeral of a relative at Qreen Ridge.

The horse given him was a mall bay animal, six or seven years old, and the vehicle a top buggy. Mr. Boott said be would be home last evening, but up to this time. noou, he has not put In an appearance. His wife beard of the newa through the morning papers, and liat aloes to account for his absence.

A despatch waa sent to Soranton this morning asking for information as to his where. about, but nothing definite could be learned' from that source. Mr. Shelly left this afternoon for the scene of the drowning, for the purpose of identifying, If possible, the horse and buggy Meanwhile Mr. Scott's family and friends are ter ribly worried as to his whereabouts.

The Lackawanna was very high yesterday, caused by the recent heavy rains, and all the flat land in the southern part ef the city, known as Diamond Flats, waa submerged. The main street In the vicinity was overflowed to the depth of nearly three feet About noon a man, who so far remains unlndentlfled, started to drive along the road, the horse going in the direction of Hyde Park. When the driver reached a point near the bridge at the foot of the Diamond culm pile, he tty that the water was too deep to go farther, and attempted to turn the horse to drive back. In trying to do so the none hacked toward tbe stream, and the wheels of the buggy went over the The buggy toppled over and the man was swept away by the raging current That waa the last seen of the man. Tbe horse and buggy were oarrlel on down the river, and when pulled out, nearly a mile below the scene of the accident, the horse was deadend the carriage wrecked.

There were no penons near by when the man met his fate, and the only witnesses of tha terrible occurrence were those residing on Mifflin avenue, on the hill overlooking the river. In Oregon, where Scott resided, tbe excitement among his friends and relatives was intense, especially as no news could be had from Scranton In regard to the affair. Soott was aooompanied as far as Hyde Park, by his sister and her husband, who wera driving in another single rig. Here tbey met with several other friends bound for the funeral, and this as tbe last seen of him. The other carriages arrived at the funeral, but Scott failed to apt ear.

The only explanation that can be offered is that while at Hyde Park he became somewhat Intoxicated, as this waa a frequeut failing, and that while enroute to Qreen Ridge, he lost his way and met hia death In the above manner. The drowned man is described as being about 40 yean old, with brown moustache and flushed face. He wore a slouch hat and dark brown overcoat. Tills description tallies with that of Scott, and his friends ihink that It was he who was drowned. He has a wife and four small children.

The former is a daughter of Mrs. Lelgbton, of Oregon. THE BODY NOT VET FOUND. A message from Coroner Burnett, of Lacka. wanna county, at three o'clock this afternoon states that the body has not yet been found.

Harmless Vlljlilcatlon. The signal ability of Judge Chaa. E. Rice is compelling recognition even from his enemies. In answer to the unfair and maliciously vile attacks of the Evening Ltadet the News Dealer of yesterday, just as strong in its sup port of Shortz, has the manliness to say this "The vile and indecent attacks made by paper of this city on the integrity of Judge Rice, have seriously injured the cause tbey have attempted to serve.

It waa uncalled for, maliciously vindictive, and as is well known, emanated from two men of this city whom were a waste of time ana Bpace to notice. Not only was it uncalled for, but the charges and allegations were bsseless and did not have shadow of truth to rest upon. "The day has gone by in this county when reckless and uncalled tor abuse of a candidate through the party pn ss does any injury, pecially is this the esse when the victim the attack is a citizen of high character and ability and one, whose name, fame and reputa tion are honored throughout tbe entire State "No one cares or is affected by the personal attacks or calumries that are directed against a candidate for office. They are simply read. passed over and carry no weight or force When such assaults pass beyond tbe bounds of legitimate criiicism and become personal it serves to increase the number and loyalty of the candidate's friends.

This has alway proved to be the case and the present contest is no exception. The struggle for victory has been rendered more laborious on the part of the Democracy by reason of the short-sighted ness of a tyro in journalism."
