The man who would be a leader must never keep the procession waiting. J. W. McCartney of Lopez, was doing business in Williamsport, Monday. Miss Bessie Cheney of Eagles- Mere, enjoyed Sunday with friends at Laporte. The person who is run down by a bicycle cannot understand why it is called a "safety." T. J. Keeler is giving his neat little residence on West Main St., a second coat of paint. John 11. Green is making im provements about liia residence, on North Muncy street. Oue way to drive boys and girls to the bad is to shut up the parlor and live in the kitchen. The man who spends his youth in sowing wild oats usually has a wife who does plain sewing. Our hotel men say business is dull. It ought not to be under these good Democratic times. The long agony of the democratic office seekers of this county, was put to an end on Tuesday. Mrs. Henry Tripp and little daughter Miss Fannie of Canton, are visiting Iriends in town. At this season of the year life is made up of praying for rain and then wishing it would clear off. Judge Ingham was doing legal business at Danville and Williams port, tile early part of this week. Prof. F. W Me ylert and wife of | Forksville, speiit Saturday and with friends at Laporte. The "Red Men" of Beiuioe will £ive a picnic on the 15th of August. A right good time is anticipated. The weather for the harvesting of crops for the past few weeks, has been all that our farmers could wish. It IH as cowardly to talk about a man behind his back as it is to throw stones at bis housn in the dark. A new side walk has been placed along the Mountain House property, which adds very much to the ap pearance of the same. A large majority of our wells and • springs have gone dry and our peo ple arc compelled to haul water some distance. Mrs. Alphonsus Walsh of La iporte, spent last week with her another, in Cherry twp., who is con fined to her room with sickness. A good cure for the blues is a big piece of ice cold ripe watermelon. A good cure for the watermelon can lie had of a practicing physician. The excursion along the line of the W. & N. B. R.

See report of Standing Committee elsewhere. The festive pest may warble all be pleases about the feathered song sters of the forest ; but for solid, every-day use there are no flies on the Spring chicken. Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Earns and Mr. Harry Hams of Laporte, are spending a week at the World's Fair. They left for Chicago on Monday and expect to return the last of next week. A horse owned by Michael Foley of Cherry, scared at a bolt of light ning and ran away through our streets on Sunday. The animal was being driven by a son of Sir. Foley who was accompanied by a friend. The vehicle was badly de molished; other thfui this no damage wat done. Hard times have reached Scron ton and between 3,000 and 4,000 persons, principally mill operatives arc out of employment in consequ ence of the general depression. B. F.

J-, Aug. s.—The Gloucester Gingham mills, employ ing about 500 hands, shut down last evening. This is the first shut down of this mill except for repairs, in the past twenty years. Two wicked boys threw a live mouse in the lion's cage at a circus in Huntingdon. The king of beasts was nearly scared to death by the tiny animal with the long tail. Tigers are also afraid of mice and rats. The concert given by Mr. and Mrs. Alvin llunsicker and Miss Louise Lorenz in the M. E. church on Friday evening, was a grand success. The proceeds of the enter tainment was presented to the church for necessary improvements to be done about the same. We were told by Democratic be lievers last fall that—give us Cleve land and Democracy and the doors of the mills and industries will open wide. What is the result ? Why the mills are closing down and the sheriff is kept busy advertising. These are good democratic times. John A. Fox chairman of the Bradford county democratic stand ing committee, has been arrested by one N. S. Frazer of Wyalusing. Frazer alleges that Fox obtained of him for political use $325 and that Fox converted the same to his own use. A swindling scheme has been un earthed in New York, in which the advertiser offers to send 135 useful household articles to the person sending $1 and the names of ten persons to whom circulars can be sent. The "useful household articles" consist of 135 needles. Uncle Sam's officials are looking after the man. An eloquent and convincing an swer was made by a good Irish Democrat of Elk township last week in the courthouse in reply to Com missioner Mooney's question if he would vote the Democratic ticket thin year. "No, sor," says he. "Last year I got 30 cents a pound for me wool. This year I have to kape it in me barn and can't get but 12 cents a pound. I don't like these good Dimecratic times."— Warren Mail. Troy's C ourt Hon*?. The Troy Gazette says the Com missioners of Bradford county were in that town on Wednesday and architect Culver of Willlanjspovt, was present with the plans, specifi cations working drawings, for the new Troy courthouse. Mr. Culver l says he has brought the specifica tions within the cost fixed by the Commissioners. The size of the building will be 49x"3 feet. The seating capacity will he about 350, and the arrangement of the seats is very fine. The building will be of stone and brick. Another Carnegie fill to Close. PITTSBURG, August 4.—lt is stated on good authority that the Allegheny Bessemer Steel Works of the Carnegie Steel Company at Duquesnc will close down to-mor row for an indefinite period. The announcement was made to the workmen that the work 9 cannot run longer, as the firm has not sufficient orders to warrant a continuance of work. The works employ about eight hundred men. Mlie WuntN #IO,OOO ItuuingOK A novel damage suit was begun in Williamsporl on Monday, by Clara Smith, bringing against Andrew H. Doney for selling her husband liquor that caused his death. She claims SIO,OOO damages, and has engaged the best legal talent to push the case. The husband James 11. Smith i died in Doney's saloon last March and the jury rendered a verdict of death from alcoholism. Smith was a man of known intemperate habits and on this account the suit bus been instituted. Mr. Bunchy an Italian who has been in the employ of James Mc- Farlane <t Co., for the past year or two, met with a fearful accident while working on Frank Mavnard's saw mill in the second ward on Tuesday morning. lie was edging boards and reached ovei the saw for something when his shirt sleeve caught on the saw and his arm was nearly severed from his hotly. Dr. Hill and Miss l)r. Dunlmm were called and dressed the wound. The uufortunato fellow was taken to the Sayre hospital on Wednesday. Will Tend to IIUNIUCNN Again. David B. Hill, after many years of city life, has bought himself a home situated among fai ins which run along the west side of the valley between Troy and Albany, N. Y. Here he intends to live until at least the conclusion of his term as United States Senator in March, 1897, and possibly for many years beyond that date, as he has opened a law office in Albany. The farmers in the lower end of Huntingdon county arc in despair over the great loss of crops they have sustained by an invasion of grasshoppers. The insects have ap peared in countless swarms and are destroying every growing thing in their path. The}' have ruined hun dreds of tons of hay and the entire crop of timothy seed. Now the pests have attacked what few grow ing vegetables have survived the protracted drought. liitrr Mute Fair Note. Tho Elmira Inter-State fair this year begins August 28lh and will continue until September 9th. The exhibits and attractions promise to excel any former exhibition.

Mr. Freem Ilunsinger president of the county association and Mr. Lambert, also gave some appropriate remarks. Dinner was served in the spacious hall near l»y the school building and was highly complimented by the numerous guests. The editor in company with Prof. F. W, Meylert, took a drive over the new road down Mill Creek and Loyal Sock to Cooper's Retreat, on Sunday afternoon. We found the road quite passable. Shrewsbury, however, has only recently begun the making of their part, and have done good work as far as they have gone. Up to date there has four precincts done work 011 the road. They arc as follows : Forksville boro.j Shrewsbury; Laporte twp.; and Laporte boro. We credit La porte township with doing the poorest job. This is a plain asser tion, bwt it is put right where it be longe. GOV. TIIiLWA.\ AXIiICV He Will Arm Ills Constables 10 Prevent Tlieiu Being Itotten Egged. COLUMBIA, S. C\, Aug. 4.—The spy system of the State dispensary is very likely to create trouble. It is very obnoxious to the public and in some places it is not improbable that these trying emissaries will not be tolerated. The treatment given them in Sumter yesterday, where they were beaten and rotten-egged, has aroused the ire of Governor Tillman, and to-day he opened an ordnance department for arming the State constabulary. He says that he is tired having State officials in sulted and that unless it is stepped somebody will get hurt. "They won't rotten-egg any more State constables," he said to-day. "I am going to see that they are not ill treated. I ain going to issue in structions that they should use weapons when it is. necessary. Then Governor Tillman was asked if he had enough pistols togo the rounds and he replied : "There are a great many cons-tables who are | not doing any arresting, but there | are plenty more where they como from." He also said : "I am going to is - sue orders for the first one of them |to Bhoot when he is struck. I'm , not going to allow State constables Ito be made dogs of by the bar-keej# er» or their followers." REPUBLICAN COVSiTV CONVEN TION.

MCCIICN in ln«liumi|»oiiN M lieu Komr ol llir Olil JIIMI Wore I XDIANAI*OLIS, Aug. 4. —The local pension agency on Maryland Street was beset with a large crowd of pensioners this morning before 5:30 o'clock waiting anxiously for the office to open. When ut C o'clock Cashier Hexl'oi'd, late of the suspend ed Indianapolis National, the local United Status depository, arrived at the office and spread out $105,000, on the counter preparatory to cach ing the drafts as the representative of the four banks which agree to give the cash for them without dis count there was a rush and a crush. Pension Agent Ensley had a large force of experienced clerks, who rapidly delivered the drafts without incident except where the expectant pensioner was informed that his name had been suspended from the list. There was a large number of cases of this kind, but the Pension Agent, under instructions from the Pension Commissioner, w ill not dis close who they are or how many they were- The report that manv were to be dropped caused a great many pensioners from adjacent counties, who usually depend on the mall for their drafts, to be on hand, and the crowd was greatly in creased over those at previous pay ments for this reason. A member of the Sixth Indiana Regiment, the first to answer the call for troops in 18G1, related that four members of his regiment were among the number dropped. One decrepit old man, after having strug gled for half an hour, reachod the counter and handed his certificate over to the clerk. The clerk went to the rolls and returned, a look of sadness on lfis face. "I am sorry," he said, ''but by direction of the Commissioner of Pensions you have been dropped from the rolls." ''They have gone back on me, have they ?" said the old man. That was all he said, and he turned and walked away, the tears running down his face. Now and then a man upon being informed that lie had been dropped from the rolls lost his temper and expressed in language that shocked the ears of men who had fought with him, his opinion of the Demo cratic party in general and of Grover Cleveland, iloko Smith and Com missioner Lochren in particular. I John Kama of Kenton and broth er of our townsman, Hon. llusscl Karns, died at his home on Wednes day morning. Funeral Friday at 9 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. lvains will at* tend the funeral. 262530 Tar III' Juggling Fe»retf.
