DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
For Prothsnotary.—W, ¥. SMITH,
of Penn Twp.
For District Atlorney.~W. J. SINGER,
of Bellefonte.
General Beaver Appointed to the Ap-
pellate Court Bench.
Governor Hastings sent official
notification to Gen. JAMES A. BEAVER,
on Wednesday morning, to the eflect
that he had been appointed one of the
new appellate court judges. An ac-
ceptance was immediately telegraphed
to Harrisburg, so that after July lst,
when the law establishing the new
court becomes operative, General Bea-
vER will become a member of the new
judiciary.
The appointees will meet at Harris-
burg this afternoon to organize the
State into districts which will be con-
tiguous to the five cities in which the
court will sit, viz: Philadelphia,
Scranton, Harrisburg, Williamsport
and Pittsburg. The provision of the
law makes it necessary for the entire
court to sit together in each city and
the judges are to elect their own pre-
siding office. The term is for ten
years at a salary of 87,500 per annum.
While the term of this appointment
will last from July 1st to January lst,
only, it is understood that the next
Republican convention will place all of
the appointees in nomination for the
regular election in the tall. Whether
this understanding will become the
fact remains to be seen. The friends
of Mr. Quay claim that the Governor
has appointed none but his own per-
sonal friends to these positions, in or-
der that he can use them as clubs over
the Quay people in the fight that is
now on between the two factions in
the Republican party. Should this
surmise prove true it is not improbable
that the Quay faction will turn in at
the State convention and try to defeat
the nomination of any of the appoint-
ees announced. This will be part of
the revenge the boss will take on
Hasrines if he succeeds in his fight
against the administration.
We Are Squelched (?)
Under the caption “Astonishing Ig-
norance’ the Gazette undertook to elu-
cidate for the WaTcHMAN's benefit, in
its last week’s issue. It got very mad
because we questioned the truthfulness
of editor HARTER’s Decoration day dec-
laration “that the war-time President
had offered to settle the trouble with-
out a fight by paying for the slaves.”
And republished a long editorial from
the Philadelphia Times, of May 15th, in
substantiation of its editor's statement.
Not one clause can be found in the
article the Gazette offers as reference
wherein it is stated that President
LiNocoLN offered to settle, nor have his-
torians ever presumed to make such
an untruthful statement. The Times
editorial behind which Mr. HARTER
tries to hide is nothing more than a re-
capitulation of the Hay and Nicort bi-
ographies of LINCOLN that ran in the
Century magazine some time ago, which
the editor of the Gazetic evidently does
not consider “current literature” since
he bases his requirements on a daily
newspaper.
Neither Colonel Hay nor Mr. NicoLr,
who are accepted as the authentic bi-
ographers of Mr. LINCOLN, ever stated
that he had made a proposition to the
South looking to the remuneration of
the South for the slaves at issue.
Both concurred, however, in the belief
that Mr. LiNcoLN favored compensa-
ted emancipation, though neither one
of them were positive enough in that
to fix it as a historical fact.
The Gazette shysters out of its dil-
emma by referring to an article in
which its claims are not to be found
and then displays its calibre by resort.
ing to school boy or Snyder county, it
is hard to distinguish which, tactics
to make an argumentation.
The WATCHMAN never said that Mr.
LincoLn did not favor compensated
emancipation. Itsimply took excep-
tion to Mr. HARTER’s statement that he
“had offered to settle the trouble with-
outa fight by paying for all the slaves.”
He never made such an offer and Mr.
HaRrTER'S own reference article will
show it.
We don’t want to bring about
a collapse in the editorial de-
partment of the Gazelle, but we are
bound to run this pointer into hia bal-
loonship, its editor.
—If you want printing of any dis-
eription the WaATcEMAN office is the
place to have it done,
Preparingifor a Straddle.
Never did a more contemptible set |
of dodgers and straddlers get together
than assembled at Cleveland last week
under the name of a convention of Re- |
publican leagues.
It was expected that they would
give expression to the principles that
would form the basis of the Republi
can claim to popular support, but they
ghirked everything that could bear
a resemblance to an intelligible declara-
tion concerning the issue that is likely
to be the leading one in the next
presidential § and congressional con-
tests, and which is now enjoying so
much of the public thought.
The cowardly negative of the Silver
question by the Republican leagues
foretells the straddling of that issue by
this party in the coming national
campaign. Evident deception wasin-
tended by the declaration that on the
money question the line of the ra-
tional party platform of 1892 should
be followed, for the expression of the
party platform in that issue two years
ago was so worded that it could be
differently interpreted. Its intention
was to mislead, and that will again be
the intention of those who will insert
the currency plank in the Republican
platform next year.
The leagues in expressing them-
selves favorable to a system of bi-
metallism sanctioned by international
agreement, merely paltered with the
the question by substituting a future
and doubtful contingency for a present
and urgent issue. What the Ameri-
can people want, and what concerns
them now, and no doubt will concern
them a year hence, is the determina-
tion of the currency question by the ac-
tion of the people of this country and
not by the decision of foreign nations.
The leagues sneaked out of making
a declaration as to how this party wiil
act in this issue, and prepared for the
perpetration of a straddle.
Getting Their Just Reward.
The Philadelphians are reaping the
just fruits of their folly in keeping in
office the political ringsters who live
and grow rich on the spoils of the city
treasury.
At the last municipal election there
was a chance to turn these rascals out
and the reason why it should be done
was fully demonstrated to the city
voters; but the Republican majority
fanatically determined to support the
machine nominations, and by an in-
creased majority gave the municipal
thieves a further lease to continue their
plunder.
Now the city councils are selling
out everything in the way of franchises
and privileges to a combination of
sfreet railway and electric light mo-
nopolies. The streets are handed over
to their use, without the least regard to
the rights of the public, and with no
effort to protect the private interest of
the citizens.
Measures are being taken in coun-
cils looking towards the wrecking of
the city’s gas works, worth $25,000,000,
by refusing to keep them in repair,
and so depreciating them that they
may be gobbled up at a nominal price
by a ring of politicians and specula-
tors, who will thus be enabled to con-
trol both the gas and the electric
lighting of the city.
There will be millions in it for those
who are in the ring. The councilmen
will of course get their pay for the part
they take in this spoliation of the city,
and the citizens will receive their just
reward for having been fools enough
to put and keep such rascals in office.
Death of Henry H. Houston,
Henry H. Houston, the well-known
financier prominently connected with
many large corporations, including the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, of
which he was a director, died of heart
failure early on Friday morning at his
home, Wissahickon Heights. He had
been driving during the evening, and
returning home retired early, leaving
his wife in the parlor with some friends.
An hour later Mrs. Houston found him
lying in an unconscious condition,
breathing heavily, and at once sum-
moned Dr. Woodward, her son-in-law,
who was visiting her, and several mem-
bers of the family. All efforts to revive
him proved unsuccessful, and he died
of heart failure, apparently without
pain, soon afterwards.
Mr. Houston was born near Wrights-
ville, Pa., October, 1820, and his early
life was spent in that locality. The
family of which he was a member traced
its lineage to Scotland in the days of
Edward I, of England, when the clan
Houston was active in the support of
Wallace.
The younger sons of the original
family early in the seventeenth century
emigrated to the north of Ireland, and
from thence a portion of the family
came to Pennsylvania between 1725 and
1730 and settled in Lancaster county.
From them branched the Houstons of
Virginia and Tennessee, and the famous
General Sam Houston, of Texas.

Reduced Rates to the Seashore.
Every one, old and young, needs
rest and recreation at some time dur-
ing the heated summer term, and
where can it be obtained better than at
the seashore ?
No other place can compare with
southern New Jersey in seaside resorts,
either in point of number or excellence.
Atlantic City is the most popular re-
sort in America, and Cape May, Sea
Isle City, and Ocean City do not fall
far short of Atlantic City’s high stand-
ard.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com-
its patrons the cheapest rates compati-
ble with good service, has arranged
for a series of excursions to the sea-
shore, similar to those which were so
popular last season. The excursions
will leave Pittsburg July 18, and Aug-
ust 1, 15, and 29, and the rates will be
as follows: Pittsburg, Uniontown,
Connellsville, Scottdale, Greensburg,
Butler and Latrobe, $10 ; Johnstown,
$9.25; Cresson, $8.50; Altoona, $8 ;
Tyrone, 37.65 ; Clearfield, $8.90 ; Belle-
fonte, 88 65 ; Bedford, $6.50 ; Hunting-
don, $7.10; Mifflin, $5.65 ; proportion-
ate rates from other points.
The tickets will permit of a stay of |
nearly two weeks, and a choice of/
either of the seashore points named
above will be allowed. A special
train of parlor cars and day coaches
will leave Pittsburg on each of the
above mentioned dates at about 8.50
a. m.

Williamson Appointed.
He Will Be the Judge in the New Huntingdon-
Mifflin District.
HARRISBURG, June 24.—The Govern-
or has appointed ex-Senator W. Mec-
Kright Williamson, of Huntingdon,
president judge of the new Huntingdon.
Mifilin district. William MecKnight
Williamson Esq., who received the
telegraphic announcement this evening
of his appointment by Governor Hast-
ings, as president judge of the new judi-
cial district, composed of Huntingdon
and Mifflin counties, is a son of the late
Rev. McKnight Williamson, and was
born in Juniata county June 29, 1840.
He was educated at Milnwood academy,
Shade Gap, this county, and read law
in the office of his brother-in-law, Wm.
H. Woods Ezq., being admitted to prac-
tice here January 17, 1865. He imme-
diately entered into partnership with
his preceptor and continued in that re-
lation until his appointment to the of-
fice of prothonotary by Governor Hart-
ranft on November 22, 1877, to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of
Lewis M. Stewart. He was nominated
and elected to the same office in 1878,
and again in 1881, but suffered defeat in
1884. Since that time hehas served one
term as State Senator from the Hunting-
don-Franklin district. With the ex-
ception of the time spent at Harrisburg
since 1884 he has been actively engaged
in the practice of law.
Mr. Williamson's appointment was
expected by those in touch with the po-
litical situation. One of his ardent
supporters was George B. Orlady Esq.
Salisbury Names Terms.
He Will Form a Ministry Only on Condition
That Public Expenditure Estimates Are
Granted and Dis Cabinet Members Are Not
Opposed for Re-Election.
LoNpoN, June 24.—Sir William
‘Vernon Harcourt to-day announced in
the House of Commons that the Rose-
bery ministry had resigned, having
been voted lack of confidence. Mr.
Balfour regretted that the government
had not dissolved Parliament instead of
resigning.
In the House of Lords Premier Rose-
. bery said his ministry would hold of-
fice only until their successors were ap-
pointed.
Lord Salisbury will accept the pre-
miership only on condition that the
Liberal leaders agree to not oppose his
government’s getting the necessary esti-
mates for public expenditures before the
dissolution of Parliament, and that no
member of the cabinet which he forms
shall be opposed for re-election upon
taking office.
Lord Rosebery, upon consultation
with his colleagues, found that several
of them were unwilling to make these
concessions, but negotiations are in prog-
ress which, it is believed, will tend to
a agreement on the part of the Liber-
als.
Despite his physician’s orders, Mr.
Gladstone, who arrived to-day from
Kiel, held a conference with Lord Rose-
bury to-night, which lasted until 11 a.
m. It’s import is unknown.

An Advance in Wages—All Mills Running
Steadily.
YouNestowN, O. June 25.—The
Lloyd Booth company has notified ite
employes, both machinists and found-
rymen, that wages will be advanced 10
per cent.
The Brown-Bonnell iron company is
crowded with orders to an extent une-
qualled in the history of the plant,
many heavy orders being received for
structural iron. The large production
has taxed its warehouse facilities to
such an extent that large additions
will be needed to care for the output
until it can be arranged for shipment,
The other mills through the valley re-
port an equally prosperous condition of
affairs,

Quay Opposed by Hastings.
The Governor Antagonizes the Senator in the Con.
test for Supremacy. Hastings Favors Gilke:
son. He Wishes to Have Him Re-elected for
the Chairmanship of the State Committee. The
Governor Will Be a Candidate for Delegate
from Centre County and Aspires to the Pere
manent Chairmanship of the State Convention.
HARRISBURG, June 24,—Governor
Hastings has come out squarely against
Senator Quay in the contest for party
supremacy.
When asked to-night whether or not
he would be a delegate in the next Re-
publican state convention, the gover-
nor said he would be a candidate for a
delegate in the convention from Centre
county ; that he had received a num-
ber of requests from his friends in dif-
ferent parts of the state asking him to
permit the use of his name for per-
manent chairman of the convention;
that he had replied to them stating
that he would be pleased to be honored
with the position of permanent chair-
man of the state convention to be held
Aug. 28, if the convention chose to pay
him that compliment.
He further stated that he was in
favor of the re-election of Colonel Gilke-
son as chairman of the state commit-
tee ; that in the last presidential cam-
paign Pennsylvania gave 63,747 Re-
publican majority ; at the election the
following year 133,146 majority ; un-
der Colonel Gilkeson'’s leadership, Gal-
usha A. Grow received 187,838 ma-
jority, and at the last election, under
his leadership, the Republican major-
ity was increased to over 241,000.
Colonel Gilkeson is a clean and thor-
oughly honest man, a skillful and suc-
cessful leader, and “I hope,” said the
governor, ‘he will not be repudiated
by the Republicans of the state merely
because he is a part of the present
state administration.”
The governor said that the only rea-
son that he could think of why certain
leaders of the party were making war
upon him was because he had favored
making congressional, senatorial and
legislative apportionments, in compli-
ance with the mandates of the consti-
tution, and that he presumed, because
of that stand, those who oppose the
apportionments now proposed to make
& personal fight upon him, “The war
made upon Colonel Gilkeson is a war
in disguise,” said the governor. He
was satisfied that it was directed at his
administration because of his attitude
toward the apportionment question.
Senator Quay was not able to call oa
the governor to-day lowing to a lame
foot, but, when he received a note from
the governor this afternoon saying that
he had heard of his injury and would
be pleased to call to pay his respects,
Senator Quay replied that he would
have called on the governor, but could
not by reason of his lameness.
The governor called with Attorney
General McCormick about 6 o'clock
and during the talk the governor told
the senator that he. was for Colonel
Gilkesen for another term as chairman
of the state committee. Just what
else was said neither party would di-
vulge. Senator Quay was shown the
interview with the governor, but be-
yond saying that if the governor want.
to be presiding officer he should have
no opposition, would not be quoted.
Index of Trade Revival.
Mints Kept Busy Turning Out Money for Retail
Business.
WASHINGTON, June 25.—Among the
steadily multiplying signs of the new
boom in all branches of business there
is none more gratifying than the heavy
increase in the demand for subsidiary
and minor coin which is reported by
Mr. Preston, the director of the mint,
With the exception of the Philadel
phia mint, all the mints of the country
are now given upto the coinage of
subsidiary silver to meet this demand.
According to law, the minor coins,
nickels and cents must be minted at
Philadelphia, and the mint at that
place is now taxed to the utmost to
supply the growing demand for small
change from banke, merchants and
employers of labor in all parts of the
country. This demand more surely
than anything else, demoustrates the
briskness of retail trade, and shows
that manufacturers are finding a ready
market for the products of their mills
and factories.
Fifteen Per Cent. Raise.
Good News to Employes of the Johnson Steel
Company.
Lorain, O., June 25.—The Johnson
steel company posted notices to-day of
a 15 per cent. increase in wages to the
men in the converting mill, dry house
and machine shops, in all about 200.
The men in the shape mill had their
wages raised last week. The increase
is entirely voluntary on the part of the
company. There will be an advance
in all departments by July. The mill
is rushed with orders, and every
branch is running to its fullest capaci-
ty.
Higher \ Wages in Prospect.
Olneyville Weavers Return to Work With a
Bright Outlook.
ProvipENCE, R. I.. June 25.—Most
of the weavers in the Fletcher mills, at
Olpeyville, returned to work to-day af-
ter being assured they would not be
black-listed or discriminated against
by the management. No promise of
an advance in wages was made, but it
was agreed that it the price of goods
advanced wages would be increased.
i The weavers expect a raise by July 13.
Quay Wants to be State Chairman,
PHILADELPHIA, June 23.—Senator
Quay last evening announced his posi-
tion in the contest between himself and
his opponents in the party in the follow-
ing terms: “I am a candidate for
| chairman of the Republican state com-
mittee and ask all my friends in Penn-
sylvania to stand by me at this time. I
will mention my reasons for this step

tuous blending of these great combined
shows. What the Pawnee Bill show,
is and what it has been for the past 12
years is so patent to everybody, that it
is like gilding refinded gold and paint-
ing the lily to descant on its well-
known superiority. Nothing then can
be more meritorious and attractive than
its limitless wealth of consolidated mar-
vels; and as space is limited, we can
therefore only give a brief outline. First
wo would call attention to Major Gor-
don W. Lillie (Pawnee Bill,) the white
chief of the Pawnee, and late hero of
Oklahoma ; with 100 genuine Indians,

pers, including Gray Eagle 2nd, chief of
the Sioux Indians, and several of his

JULY TO BE CoOL AND RAINY—SAYS
Mr. Hicks.—!‘My last bulletin gave
forecasts of the storm wave to cross the
continent from the 25 to the 29th, and
the next will reach the pacific coast
about the 29th, cross the west of Rock-
ies country by the close of the 30th, the
great central valleys July 1to3 and
the eastern States about the 4th,
Average rains may be expected
through the central portions of the Un-
ited States, leaving a deficiency in the
extreme north west of Rockies country
about June 29, great central valleys
July 1 and eastern States July 3. A
cool wave will cross the west of Rock-
ies country about the 2d, great central
valleys July 4 and eastern States about
the 6th.
The cool wave will inaugurate an ex-
tended cool period and wkat is herein
designated as the cool half of the month.
Each month is usually divided into
about two weeks of cool and two weeks
of warm weather, and the difference in
the average temperature of those two
periods is almost universally of a radical
type. It is of great importance to
know when these warm and cool periods
will occur.
Each of these twelve to fifteen days
warm periods has two storm waves, two
warm waves and two cool waves, and
each of the twelve to fifteen days cool
periods has the same.
Most rains fall during the cool per-
iods and the evaporation and drought
symptoms are experienced during the
warm periods.
I challenge the world in making long-
range forcasts of the warm and cool per-
iods, and whoever tests the accuracy of
these bulletins in forcasiing these per.
iods will find the forecast, in that re-
gpect, wonderfully correct.
The rain belt for July appears to ex-
tend from Denver to Philadelphia, leav-
ing large areas of drought in the direc-
tion of Charleston and Key West and
from Chicago and Davenport toward the
northwest.
General forecasts for July and temper-
ature forecasts for the coming winter
will be published in my next bulletin.
I believe my calculations for the com-
ing winter to be reliable, and they are of
a most important character. It will be a
remarkable winter as to temperature.’’
THE BAND TOURNAMENT AT PHIL-
IPSBURG Last WEEK.—The fourth an-
nual tournament of the northern Penn-
sylvania and western New York band
association was held at Philipsburg,
Thursday and Friday of last week. The
weather was very much against a suc-
cessful meeting, but the large crowd of
visitors to the town found as much
amusement as could be expected under
the circumstances.
The bands held their convention in
the town hall Thursday afternoon.
Nine bands were represented, viz.: Rey-
noldsville, DuBois Volunteer, DuBois
Excelsior, Osceola P. 0. S. of A.
Osceola Military, Hawk Run, Clear-
field, Houtzdale and Philipsburg Inter-
national. Thomas Byron, president of
the association, called the meeting to
order aud Wright Riley, secretary, re-
corded the minutes. Clearfield was de-
cided upon as the next place of meeting,
in June, 1896, and the following officers
were elected: Harry T. Bridge, of Clear-
field, president ; G. W. Gulich, of Clear-
field, secretary ; Alfred Mitchell, of
Clearfield, treasurer. In the absence of
L. S. Fisk, the musical director elected
last year, Wright Riley was appointed
to direct the Philipsburg contest, and
John Fuge, of Houtzdale, was elected
musical director for the next contest.
The sports at the driving park Thurs-
day afternoon were spirited and inter-
esting and drew a very large crowd.
In the running horse race there were
four entries, viz': Stultz’s Storyteller, of
Houtzdale; R. N. Shaw’s Sam Wal-
ton, of Clearfield ; Hepburn’s Teddy, of
Jersey Shore; Carlisle’s T. J., of Du-
Bois, and Pigeon’s Holiday, ot Houtz-
dale. The horses won in the order
named. Sam Walton took the first
heat in 54 and Storyteller the second
and third in 54. Holiday went lame
in the first heat and was withdrawn.
Arlie "Rappalee won the one-half
mile bicycle race in 1.18% ; Ed Jones
second.
The road race for trotters and pacers
had four entries—Watson’s Prince, of
Tyrone ; H. K. Grant’s Cloe, of Phil-
ipsburg ; Carlisle’s Tommy, of DuBois,
and Higgins’ Stella H. of Madera.
Prince won the race (three heats) in
2.49%, 2.48, 2.49.
The 100 yard foot race was won by
Butler in 10% seconds ; Jeffries, second ;
Parker third ; Potts, fourth.
The 200 yard dog race had eight en-
tries, which ran in groups as follows,
winning in order named: First group
—Parker’s Star, 13 seconds; Morgan’s
Fly. Shirt's Joe. Second group—
Morgan’s Bess, 12% seconds; Steven-
son’s Nellie; Ashcroft’s Dye. Third
group—Asheroft’s Rice, 14 seconds;
Marsden’s Sweep.
The one mile open bicycle race was
won by Rappalee in 2.59.
The Friday’s entertainment was prac-
tically spoiled by a steady down pour of
rain though at noon all of the bands
played a quickstep in front of the Pass-
more house, on Front street, for a $10
prize offered by James Passmore. It was
won by the; Philipsburg band. All the
bands then marched out to the driving
park for the contest. There they play-
ed their selections while the rain was
pouring down into their horns.
Mr. W. H. Amstead, of New York,
editor of the Metronome was the adju-
cator, and sat in a closed carriage all
the while the bands played. His deci-
sion gave the Volunteer hose Co., band
of DuBois first priz2 of $150. The
Houtzdale band second prize of $75.
The Excelsior band of DuBois third
prize of $40. The Osceola Military
band fourth prizs of $25 and the Clear-
field band fifth prize of $10.
The rain bad been too much for the
races that were booked as the next
feature on the program and they were
all declared off with these exceptions:
The finale in the dog race was won by
T. Morgan's Bess. Jack Parker won
the 200 yds foot rac and Mills won. the
sack race.
