They were brought from the state fishery at Qarrisburg. The difference between the ice , dealers and the coal merchants is, • the one has no stock to sell, while tire other can not sell his stock. Nellie Bly's real name is no long- , eraseeret, she is Miss Elizabeth Cochrane, of Pittsburg X. Y. and her father is an Associate Justice of that city. At this writing, (Tuesday) ice is said to be 8 inches thick on Lewis, Lake, at Eagles Mere. The people there are improving the opportunity of filling their ice houses. Ex-State Treasurer, Henry llawlc, •of near Montoursville, Lycoming ■county and Mrs. Peter Herdic, of Williamsport, were married on Tuesday the 11th of February. We wore complimented on Satur day for getting out the li'e'atest coun ty statement of either of the county papers. The RKPUBLICAN does neat work and charges Reasonable. Give us a call. What about that new road "an ticipated" froill the County Seat down Loyal Sock to Forksville ? We imagine our correspondent knocked the other "feller" out in his last communication; Much time of Feb. Court will be taken up in hearing commonwealth cases. There are 6orß on the list. District Atty. TbomsOii will have his hands full at this term of Court. Atty. T. is equal to the task.

To- THE CITIZENS OF LAPORTE BOROUOII :—There will be a people's caucus held at the office of James McFarlane, for the purpose of plac ing in nomination a Borough ticket, On Saturday evening Feb. 15th, at 8 J), All are invited. Edward Nolan, is erecting a fine barn on his premises in LaPorte twp. Eil. is the carpenter and a neat and artistic job may be looked for. Henr3 r Swank, mercantile apprais er passed through town en-route for Lopez, on Tuesday. Mr. Swank has finished up the duties of his of fice in the Western part of the couu ty and hopes to complete the entire list this week. There are five criminals in the ISull'/an county jail, an increase of two during a very sltort period. This number is the largest for many years. This is evident that our county is becoming more wicked and in a very short time will neces sitate a newjhil. It is a dull day for Senator logrJfS when he dosen't receive half a dozen letters from the South abusing him for his recent speech on the race question. The letters are unim portant, but they show that Mr. Ingalls' words have burned their way into the Southern conscience. Mrs. Tracy, wife of Secretary oi the Navy, wH6 died from suffocation shortly after being taken out of their home at Washington, that was burned by (ire 011 Monday morning, was a cousin of Mrs. Green, mother of Hank Examiner DeLa Green, of this place.— Muncy Luminary. Congressman McCormick is ap parently having a tough time with the Williamsport post-oHice. He has reached no decision as yet as to what man shall hare the place, lie finds that the term of the present incumbent rrins out on the 20th i instant, lie will decide upon the best man for the place about the 20t'Ii. Owing to the death of P. M., Mcllwain of Eidredville, will neces-j sitate the appointment of a new Post- j master at said place. For this ap- j pointmcnt Jos. Grange will figure Very conspicuously and wid un doubtedly secure the appointment. Mr. Grange is an old time Repub lican and is entitled to the honor. This year has started out with fait pVospects for a good business boom that will likely continue throughout the year. There is al ready a big demand for steel rails, and it is estimated that the Pitts burg mills alone will receive orders for about 40,000 tons of steel rails. This will be an excess over last year of nearly 100,000 tons. The first snow storm of any con sequence this winter occured on Friday and Saturday }ast. The welcomed fell to the depth of 3 or 4 inches and with the freeze up on Saturday night made comparatively good sleighing on Sunday, when the merry jingling of sleigh bells were constantly heard upon our streets. John Gansel of Davidson twp., attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself in his father's house at Muncy Valley, on Saturday last. Cause—ke values himself of no ac count anil took this plan of ridding the country of bis presence, how ever, we are told that the bullet did not come within several feet of the mark. T. J. Keeler contractor for build ing the new borough school house, is getting things in readiness pre paratory to commencing the same in early Spring. He is now engag. Ed in hauling lumber, shingles and brick to the building site. When completed LaPorte can boast of having by far the finest School building in the county. A number of our landlords throughout the county will be put through the mill at this ten. of Court for violating the liquor It v. Landlords who violate this law for a paltry "ten cent piece" should suf fer the full extent of the law. But in the event of landlords being ar rested for selling to iniilOrs and the minor at the time of the purchase purges himself bj-saying and urg ing that he is of age and in conse quence is successful in obtaining liquor, then he should be made to suirer the full extent of the law. Such crimes are too often practiced in our county and should the Grand Jury find a true bill against some young man (and it is said they will be plenty at this term of court) it would set an example which would be highly appreciated by parents throughout the entire oounty. When mouey talks of course it talks cents. It is positively asserted that La- Porte is to have railroad vacilities on or about the Ist of October next. This is official, right from head quarters and can b« relied upon. Contractor Woods of Philadelphia will complete the road to Dohm's Summit on the original survey. Mr. Woods will take up quarters at La- Porte early in spring and will put on a very large force of mcu. Statements of this kind has been given to the public many times or iginating from public supposition but this one is from a 11. R. official and he is supposed to know what he is talking about. The hotel property familiarly known as the "Reeeer House"in i Dushore Boro. has recently been purchased by the recent incumbent Mr. M. J. Carmody who has held! the house under lease ior the past year. The interior has beem re modeled and renovated throughout and is now second to none in town for convenience and comfort. The exterior has been repaired and paint ed and presents a very attractive appearance. The already large trade to'the house is steadily in creasing under the management of Mr. Carmody who is a very pleasant gentleman to meet and any one trusting to his hospitality will be well cared for as no pains are spared by him to make it pleasant for guests at his house. We would tifge that people of this vicinity who visit Dushore give Hotel Carmody a call. For further particulars see card elsewhere in this issue. LECTLT HE. W. C.

One of the most astounding verdi icts ever rendered by a Lackawanna i jury, was that of Yuesday, at Scran ton, which declared Patrick Loftus . not guilty of selling liquor without a license, and put ting the costs upon the county, despite the fact that Loftus hunself on the witness stand swore that he 'iad violated the liquor law, and tha 1- . the charge of Judge Connelly that <he jury should find Loftus guilty it' his testimony was to be believed. The verdict was recorded by Judge Archbald* but wlu.n Judge Connelly, who tried the case, heard of the verdict ' ° went upon the bench and had the jurors summoned before him. The judge told them the-y were a dis grace to the intelligence of Lacka wanna County; that iheir action made a farce of a court of justice, ind to show the utt«r contempt in which the court held such a verdict, lie would now di-grace them by dis charge from service on this panel of jurors; also that their nam#s be pre served, that the jury commissioners, \nd whatever judge would here after fill the jury wheel, might take lotice that none of the twelve should be drawn as jurors in this county. They were then dismissed ivith instructions that they were en titled tci one day's pay. Judge Connelly's seathing words created a lecided sensation throughout legal md business circles in the city, President Judge Archbald after wards upheld the decision of Judge Connelly, the attorneys in a high way robbery case on trial before him, contending that the venue being; broken their client was jeopardized by not having a regular number of j urors in case of challenge.—Ex. ! The ice dealer thinks he may ba ; h a PPy J'et. W. C. Gilmore Esq., of Williams port will lecture before the Teach ers' Association Friday evening Feb. 14th, 1890. We are not informed as to the subject of the address but it will no doubt be an interesting one. A good attendance frqm La- Ptrrtc and vicinity will encourage those who are endeavoring to pro mote the cause of education. Now It is the Eye. The ravages of the grip are yet felt by its victims, and a new form of disease resulting from it has ap peared. The oculists «are bftsy with patients who complain of a burning sensation in the eye, which has be come inflamed, and in some cases the range of vision is affected. It is observed that the majority of persons so affected were victims of the grip. One of the leading ocu lists of Philadelphia, in speaking of the disease said the ej'e seems to be the last part of the bodj r affected. The number of cases 01 eye trouble has increased to an alarming extent, and in most cases, it was a second ary complaint. The disease seems to be a sympathetic one, as the eye is affected as is other parts of the body, more particularly the muscular system, to which it causes great pain in performing its functions. how to Boom, The way to boom a town is to treat its interests with the same con siderations that you would show to your busiuess. Don't be afraid to advertise it on Mic wrong side. Too many people who feel discontented, and who wouldn't be contented any where, express their dissatisfaction openly and among strangeio. Don't hesitate to invest a dollar in a scheme for the public good when you can spare it, aud when the scheme needs its support. Act al ways as though you wanted nee the town advance, and show *||i you will do what little pushing yom onn, even if you can't hold the il> ons and drive. Don't be mean to -y town; treat it generously and it'ill not forget you. Tliu kiml uf l><>© H introduced by following these dip* ! tions is not that which comes frOW options or sales of real estate, but a good healthy growth. All this can be done by patronizing your home paper, both with your advertise ments and subscriptions. A paper that goes abroad without advertise ments shows a d»ad town. Mothiug promotes confidence so quickly and so much as a standing advertise ment. Spasmodic advertising al arms the people and at once creates the impression that there is a little shoddy mixed up in the prices. It requires all these ingredients prop erly applied to make a town right. ANDREWS CONVICTED. The Jury Find Him Guilty of Murder In the First Degree, y The most interesting and remark able trial in the history of Centre county ended Tuesday of last week* at Bellefonte, and Alfred Andrews, who murdered Miss Clara Price, in a lonely woods, is a condemned man. Ex-JudgeOr is, senior attorney for the Commo'.wealth, argued for five hours and thirty minutes, reviewing the damaging evidence against Andrews. Judge A. O. Furst de livered a most impartial charge to the juiy, occupying an hour and a half, and precisely at 4:30 o'clock the case was given to the jury. At 7 o'clock the Court House bell be gan to ring. Then ensufed a wild rush of men and women for the Court room to hear the verdict. Judge Furst, Ilhoades and Riley were soon in their place on the bench. Sheriff Cook ushered the prisoner to his familiar seat. Andrews looked pale and frightened. The jury then appeared after aving been out two hours and miuutfts. As the names of the jurors were called, each one arose and in solemn tones responded "Guilty of murder iu the first degtee." By the warning of Judge Furst there was no manifesta tion of approval or disapproval on the part of those present. After the verdict had been announced and the prisoner was taken back to jail he made a confession to his lawyer and others admitting his guilt, in which he declared that he killed the poor girl after attempting to ravish ' her. The verdict was reached on the first ballot. GRAND FUftNITUrtE DISPLAY. AT MWBEHCI BfIOTHEBB FURNITURE STORE, Jackson's Block Main & Centre si. DUSHORE, ----- «.
