Lavelle, a photographer from llonesdale, who has been operating his camera in this county since early spring, was brought to tiie county jail Monday evening from Muncy Valley by Constable Hess, on a charge of counterfeiting. Lavelle states that he was not an accomplice with John Gansel who operated this movement himself. Mr. Gan sel was the one who revealed the crime to Constable lTess, who at once brought action against Lavelle, who has been operating his galery at IS fancy Valley for some time past. At a hearing before Justice 11. I'. Hall on Monday a most startling revelation was made which may have deeper investigation. John (iansel, on Saturday evening, bor rowed an overcoat of Robert Hess to wear while accompanying Lavelle to the Mountains above the town where they engaged in making coins. On Sunday,after the harrowed coat had been returned to the owner Mr. Hess found one of the dies in his pocket. He went to Mr. Gansel for an explanation who revealed the circumstances and said he had brought the die with him for the purpose of exposing Lavelle, who states that he knows nothing about the matter. James damsel's House a Prey to Flames, The large residence of James (ian sel, about one mile from town, was completely destroyed by fire Sunday evening at about 6:30. Flames were first discovered breaking through the roof near the chimney hy Mr. (iansel as he started togo to the barn to look after his stock. It was then under such headway that it was beyond control. The fire spread so rapidly that only a part of the furniture was saved. The house and furniture was insured for SI60(1. Arbor Day at Eagles Mere. The suggestion having been made that the Public School should ob serve Arbor Day the progressive di rectors took hold of it and as a resnlt four line trees were planted by the young people under the direction of Florist Dunham. Much credit is due to teacher Deitlin for his interest and the tactful manner in which he directed the exercises. A very fair representation of the ladies graced the occasion and the whole thing passed off so pleasantly, with a little speech from Mr. 1?. (i. Welch as part of it, that it is the unanimous verdict of the whole community that Arber day is hereafter to be a semi-annuel event in Eagles Mere. Under the inspiration of the move ment fine trees have been planted at the cottage of Mrs. K. A. iiowley, at the Church of St. John-in-the-Wild erness and at the railroad station. More are promised for next spring. We View with Pride the Ticket that Bears the Mnmes of Otto Behr, Adam Baumunk and J. S, Taylor. It is with pride and pleasure that we call the attention of the indepen dent voters of Sullivan county to the excellent ticket which the Republi cans of the county have put up for the consideration of voters. There is not a weak man among them. There is not a man there but, if elected, is thoroughly competent to perform the duties of his office. There is not one who will not faith fully, honestly and conscientiously, there is not one who will not ad minister the office as a public trust. They are the representatives of the people; they were nominated by the rank and file of their party; they are the free choice of the commonalty; they were chosen by the free untram melled expression of the people, on their merits alone, and therefore are nothing to any one else; they owe under obligations to no one else, and if elected they w ill serve no one else, but the people. It is a ticket thoroughly clean, thoroughly competent, entirely hon est; composed of men of experience, men of ability, men of courage, whose election would be a credit to Sullivan county. —Report of Laporte High School for month ending Oct. 21, 1800.

Xewitt, the lawyers con vieled last wvck of bribery, has filed ; eighteen reasons why (he defendants should be granted a new trial. It plainly shows that the verdict was against the law and the evidence and that the verdict was against the instructions of the court and that the ; Judge erred in overruling the defoli ant's objections to witness lvcndig stating his belief upon a material point in the ease; that thejudg erred in refusing to admit a certain paper in evidence; also in admitting in ev idence the book of rules governing j the secret service; in instructing tho jury that detective' evidence was reliable; in instructing the jury that I Jacobs' testimony might corroborate that of Kehdig. The reasons also allege that the judge erred in charging the jury; that tho alleged motive of tho de fence was a desperate attempt to es cape the penitentiary. It is charged that the District At torney prejudiced the mind of tho jury in his speech. Argument will probably bo heard by .Judge MePherson next Thursday that being the day set. J. W.
