, Who Wants Quigley Elected.
When Hastings ran for Gov-
ernor laet (all all of the fellows who
did the dirty work for him were as-
sured of certain rewards. One of the
plans bas ouly partially carried, how-
ever. It was the one to make HENRY
QUIGLEY, his protege, district attorney
of Centre ccunty. In addition to get-
ting to live in the Governor's house
for nothing the embryo lawyer, who
has never tried a case in court, was
slated for the district attorneyship,
So far as the residence in the Hasr-
iNGs’ house here is concerned the plan
has carried, but it remains to material
ize the rest of it—his election. It-wae
a very easy matter for the bosses to
dictate his nomination before the
county convention and now the word
hae'been sent out that he “must be
elected.” :
“Must” he? Let us see. Centre is
a Democratic county and to accom-
plish euch an undertaking Democratic
votes will have to be turned to Quic-
LEY, but how can this be done? Lay-
ing aside the question of his utter in-
competency, is it likely that any Demo-
crate will vote for the man that Hasr-
1x8 wants elected ? He would be an
expensive luxury for Centre county,
since he would have to employ other
attorueys to try all of his cases. The
question of expense doesn’t count with
the Governor, however. He rides in
his new $1,500 carriage, lives in the
house on the refurnishing of which
$35,000 of the taxpayer's money is just
being expended, thinks of how he bur-
dened the State with useless officers
and put the coal oil up in price. No,
the matter of expense would cut small
figure with Hastings, but will Centre
county Democrats indulge his costly
whims by voting a fellow into an of-
fice he ien’t capable of filling ?
Don’t be fooled by Mr. QuIGLEY'S
blandishments, or his smooth schemes
to get votes. He will say to you:
“Oh, I am only a young fellow, just
starting out, and would like to make a
creditable showing.” The fact of his
being a young fellow is undeniable, en-
tirely too young and inexperienced in
law for a Centre county district attor-
ney.
He has'been a blowing Republican
all of his life and does bot deserve a
Democratic vote. Don’t give him any.
Quay’s Senatorial Efficiency.
It is difficult to see what justification
the Philadelphia Times has for rating
M. S. Quay as the “most efficient
Senator the State has had for many
years.” 2
In what way has Quay displayed
his efficiency as a Senator? He is no-
toriously deficient in the qualificatione
that are required to make a representa.
tive either useful or ornamental. His
utter incapacity as a speaker renders
‘him incapable of serving his constitu
ents on the floor of the Senate. The
influence he may be able to exert in
some other way has never shown its-
elf in acts of statesmanship beneficial
either to his State or to his country.
The Times will hardly claim that
his superior efficiency was evinced by
the rambling, incoherent and protrac-
ted composition which he intruded
upon the Senate with the object of con-
suming the time which better men
were anxious to devote to the improve-
ment of our defective tariff laws,
The fact is that the State never had
a representative in the Senate whose
services were of 80 worthless a charac-
ter as ‘QuaY’s, with probably the ex-
ception of CAMERON's and the asser-
tion of the Times about his great ef-
ficiency is but another instance of the
inconsiderate expressions of that paper.
It is a pleasure to know that
though our friend GeorGE HurcHIN-
sox, of Warriors-mark, was not suc-
cessful in his aspiration to be made
deputy secretary of agriculture he will
be given a place in the new depart:
ment at a salary of $1,500 per year.
——Remember that Centre has to
te retrieved this fall,
A Condemnatory Admission.
In its wild efforts to defend MILLERS
war record, character and fitness tor
the office of prothonotary the Gazette
is making a pretty spectacle of itself
before the intelligent voters ot Centre
county. It is quite evident that editor
Harter has a bigger load than he is
able to carry and as he finds himself
sinking under the burden, like the pro-
verbial dying jack-ass, he kicks in all
tdirections.
The latest evidence of his asinine
| actions appeared in last .week’s issue
of the Gazette as follows :
“Mr. MILLER'S failure as a business
man was due to charity, his incom-
petency would not prevent him from
engaging a suitable person to fill the
office.”
Was ever a more condemnatory ad-
mission made by a paper trying to de-
fend a man? The Gazeite has told
the voters of Centre county exactly
what we want them to know. Mr.
Miter has failed as a business man
and is incompetent to manage the of-
fice which he asks you to let him fill.
As to the matter of his having
failed through “charity” we will leave
that to the people who know him best
and they will tell you many pretty
stories of his charitable (?) nature.
We have one man in mind just now,
who can be found any day right here
in Bellefonte and will tell a few things
that willjknock the Gazette's “charity”
excuse higher than Gilroy’s kite.
What plea has MILLER to make ?
His own defenders admit his “incom-
petency.” His war record is so black
that he is ashamed to show it in order
to ask votes on that score; he has
been a vilifier of Democrats all his
life ; yet he is now begging their sup-
port for an office his own friends say
he is unfitted to fill.
The voters of Ceutre county will
hardly ask for anything further. The
Glazelte has told the truth, if it was by
mistake, and MILLER is conceded to be
incompetent.
——Did any taxpayer ever hear of
Henry QUIGLEY trying a case in
court? He is a nice young man.
Morally and physically he may be all
right, but as a lawyer—one who is
competent to perform the important
duties of:the office to which he aspires
—he is no more fitted for the place,
than is barber BECk’s flageolet to take
the place of the big organ in the Pres
byterian church. If elected he would
be one of the kind of officials who
could draw the salary, but the county
would have to pay some one else for
drawing the indictments. Taxpayers
who are anxious to increase the
county expenditures by making it nec-
essary to pay other lawyers for doing
the work of the district attorney, will
probably vote for QureLey. This
would be the result of his election.
EE —————————
——The old soldier racket is played
out. The Democrats have treated the
boys in blue too well to suit the Re-
publican ‘plan of barping on that
score. Too many of them have gotten
pensions under Democratic manage-
ment, after they had been turned down
by the Republicans, to fool them any
longer as to which party is their true
friend.
——Don't vote for the incompetent
men whom the Republicans of Centre
county are being urged to support.
There are many in their own party
who will not vote for either QuiGLEY
or MILLER.
——Democratic good times are be-
ing felt-everywhere. Now let Demo-
crats be up and doing to proclaim a
mighty approval . at the polls next
month,
Was op Her Way to the Poor House.
WiLLiamsporT, Pa., October 8.—Af-
ter searching for a week for the dead
body of aged Mary Williams it was to-
day found in the woods near Bloss-
burg, Tioga county. She had left her
son’s house at Lindsay to go to the
poor house, journeying over a moun-
tain path. The exertion attendant up-
on the trip killed her. When found
her head rested on a pillow made of
her skirt and her hands were clasped
in an attitude of prayer.
Mrs. Amelie Rivers-Chandler Given a
Divorce.
New York. Oct. 9.—It is learned
from Mr, W. G. Maxwell, of the law
firm of Chandler, Maxwell & Philips,
120 Broadway, that a decree of divorce
on the ground of incompatibility has
been granted Mrs. Amelie Rivers
Chandler. There was no opposition io
the decree. Nothing in the pleadings
or the proceedings reflected on either
of the parties. .
——The auditor-general got a good
pull at the public funds this year. The
salary of this officer was only $6000 in
1893. Now he gets $10,400, of which
$2000 is increase of regular salary. He
also receives $1200 as a member of the
board of public grounds, and $1200 as
a member of the board of public ac-
counts. Besides this a deputy auditor
was created at $6000 salary, and a clerk
to the board of public accounts at
$600 a year.

Who Our Candidate For State Treas-
urer Is.
Benjamin Franklin, Meyers, the
Democratic candidate for state treasur-
er—lawyer and journalist—is among
the notable figures in the political
world of Pennsylvania. He was born
July 6, 1833, near New Centerville,
Somerset county, and was educated at
Somerset academy and Jefferson col-
lege, Canonsburg.” In April, 1854,
Mr. Meyers was married to Miss
Susan C. Koontz, of Somerset, and the
same year removed to Bloomingtcn,
Ill., when he engaged im journalism,
There he became acquainted with
Stephen A. Douglas, whose political
disciple he became, Abraham Lincoln
and David Davis. When Mr. Meyers,
returned to Pennsylvania, in 1855, he
devoted himself to the practice of law
taking no part in the politics of the
day, but in 1856 he took the stump for
Buchanan, In August of that year
he removed to Bedford and became
one of the proprietors of the Gazette
and remained its owner until 1873.
Mr. Meyers purchased an interest in
the Harrisburg Patriot in June, 1863,
and was the editor of that paper until
1891, with the exception of ‘one year.
He is now the editor and proprietor of
the Harrisburg Star Independent. =
In 1863 Mr. Meyers was elected- to
the House from Bedford. There he
made a reputation as a debater and
speaker. In 1870 he was the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in the
Adams, Bedford, Fulton, Franklin and
Somerset district, his opponent being
John Cesena. After a heated struggle
he was clected by a majority of 15
votes. The contest that resulted was
decided in his favor. Mr. Meyers was
renominated in 1872 but it was the
Greeley year and he was defeated.
Mr. Meyers was a delegate to the
Democratic national conveations in
1864 and 1880, and delegate-at-large
to the convention which nominated
Cleveland in 1884. In 1875 he was
elected president of the state editorial
association and was re-elected in 1876.
In March 1887, he was appointed
postmaster at Harrisburg, and served
four years.
Brutal Double Murder
From an Attack Upon a Canal Boat Made by
Human Fiends Who Wanted to Dictate When
the Vessel Should Be Loaded.—Many Arrests
Have Been Made.
North Tonawanda, N. Y., October 7.
--A double murder was committed on
P. W. Scribner’s lumber dock at an
early hour this morning, and up to the
present time sixteen men have been
placed under arrest and search is being
made for others. Shortly after mid-
night Captain Phillips, of the canal
boat Jennie Graft, and his son, of the
boat’, May, began loading up with lum-
ber. Other boatmen who had refused
to take loads at the prices Scribner offer-
ed, marched down in a body to the dock
and interfered.
Phillips, who was armed, drew a re-
volver and fired over the heads of the
crowd, probably seeking to intimidate
them. Some one, exactly whom has
not been learned, puiled a gun and fired
three shots at Phillips, who fell to the
deck of his boat a dead man. The
young Phillips who had taken a hand
in the meele, was struck down with a
club and horribly beaten. He managed
to crawl into the cabin, where he died
at to 8.15 this morning.
Fifty-Six Known to Be Drowned.
Havana, October 7.—Further details
have been received of the loss of life
and damage caused by the heavy rains
on September 30. Several localities in
Vuelta Abaje, the great tobacco grow-
ing district, were inundated. It is
known that fifty-six persons were
drowned, and it is feared that the num-
ber may be increased when the remote
hamlets are heard from. The railroads
in the district are heavy losers from the
flood. ~ Several bridges were carried
away and the tracks in many places
were washed away.
Many houses were. destroyed and
large flelds of tobacco were completely
ruined by the torrents of water that
poured over them. There is much suf-
fering in the district. The government
bas decided to extend aid to the victims
of the flood, and has set aside $5,000 for
this purpose. In addition to this one
day’s civil or military pay will be al-
lowed to each of the sufferers. Private
charity isaleo active and to-day several
prominent men subscribed $10,310 for
relief purposes.
County Agricultural Institutes.
Harrisburg, October 7.—Not less than
150 institutes will be held in the differ-
ent counties throughout : the State.
Professor John Hamilton, the deputy
secretary of agriculture, will have
charge of the arrangements. The total
amount appropriated for these institutes
is $7,500. Secretary Edge has issued a
pamphlet containing the names and ad-
dresses, with their topics, of about 250
persons who will take part in the insti-
tute work.
——Contrary to the general rule it
evidently is not ‘cheaper to. move than
pay rent” in Harrisburg, especially dur-
ing a Republican administration. Some
body got $1045 for moving the fur-
niture of the state department into the
new building this year.
1.assayers and others by Professor Nich-
General Mahone Dead.
The Distinguished Virginian's Body Taken to
His Old Home at Petersburg.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—General Ma-
hone died yesterday afternoon, aged
69. The end came peacefully and al-
most imperceptibly. The dying man
had lain unconscious ever since last
Sunday morning, taking no nourish-
ment and showing no sign ot life be-
yond faint respiration. There will be
no public funeral at Washington, as in
accordance with the wishes of the
widow, the remains were borne quietly
to the general's old home at Peters:
burg, Va., where the eervice and inter-
ment will occur. The body left the
city at 4 o'clock this morning, arriv-
ing at Petersburg at 10:30. The act-
ive pallbearers will be members of
General Mahone's old command, fa-
mous as “Mahone’s brigade,” the one
which held the “Crater.” The honora-
ry pallbearers will be selected from of-
ficers of the same brigade.
General Mahone’s favorite sobriquet
was “Hero of the Crater,” won by his
wonderful courage in the attack on
Petersburg, when the federal forces
sprung a mine beneath the confederate
defense: He fought like a tiger, and
later historians give to him almost
alone the credit of keeping Petersburg
from the union hands by repairing be-
fore sunset the shattered confederate
lines.
After the war a spirit of leadership
led him into the political arena, and
he at once assumed a foremost posi-
tion in the internal affairs of Virginia,
being elected to the United States Sen-
ate in 1879. He caused one of the
most bitter controversies and stubborn
deadlocks ever known in the history of
that body, and at last acted with the
Republicans and gave them the organi-
zation of the Senate. His course
brought down upon his head the
wrath of the Democrats, but the Re-
publicans received him with open
arms, and the federal patronage in
Virginia was turned over to him.
Since that time he has been ‘the Re:
publican leader in Virginia. He
served in the Senate until 1887, when
be was defeated. Although he has
since resided almost constantly in this
city he retained the Republican lead-
ership in Virginia, and in 1890 was a
candidate for Governor.

Raging Gold Fever.
It Has Settled Down in a Section of Nebraska.
LixcorLy, Neb., Oct. 6.—A raging
gold fever has settled down on this
section of the country over a startling’
discovery of placer treasure in Seward
county, about twenty-five miles west of
this city. !
Three miles from Milford, a small
pleasure resort on the Blue river, an
old gravel pit, out of which the Bur-
lington railway has for years been bal-
lasting. its tracks has been found to be
rich in gold dust. Sand and gravel
from several adjacen’ farms have giv-
en equally rich promises. Many as-
says have been made, some by Denver
olson, of the State university, in this
city. In all of them the yield has been
from £56 to $196 per ton.
There is great excitement in the
vicinity of the reputed find, land is
multiplying in value and speculation
is active.

great rejoicing in this city tonight
among Democrats over the re-election
of George W. Ochs as Mayor and the
election of five out of eight alderman.
A great political fight was made over
the election to-day, the Repulican,
forces being marshaled by H. Clay
Evans, prominently mentioned as a
Republican nominee f8 Vice Presi-
dent. The eftort was made to carry
the city for the prestige it would give
his political aspirations.

would be divided on account of the re-
cent gubernatorial contest, but the
Democrats presented a solid vote and
carried the day, reversing a Republi-
can majority of 1,250 last fall.

A Demand That Each Person be Allowed to Vote
Jor Seven Judges, ‘
HarrisBurG, Oct. 9. — Attorney
General McCormick appeared in the
Dauphin county court this morning
and asked for a writ of mandamus to
compel the secretary of the common-
wealth to prepare the form ot the of-
ficial ballot for the November election
go that each voter may have the privi-
lege of voting for seven candidates for
judge of the superior court, M. E, Olm-
stead, Esq., made the argument for the
petition and ex-deputy attorney gen-
eral Stranahan for the secretary of the
commonwealth.
At the request of the attorney gen-
eral an early decision will be given so
that the case may be carried on appeal
to the supreme court for final determi-
nation before Oct. 22, when the state
department must send out the official
form of ballot. The contention is
made that the law giving the minority
party one of the seven judges is uncon-
stitutional.
Democrats Get Indianapolis.
Indianapolis, Oct. 8.—The Repub-
licans of Indianapolis suffered the
heaviest defeat in the history of the
city in the municipal election to-day.
Fairly complete returns show that
Thomas Taggart, Democrat, is elected
mayor by about 4,000 plurality, and
the rest of the Democratic ticket by
about 3,200. .
Two years ago the Republicans car-
ried the city by 3,100, and last year
the city went Republican by 2,479 on
the State ticket, This change is ac-
counted for by about 4,000 stay-at-
home Republicans, and from 1,200 to
1,500 Republicans voting the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Gen. Harrison voted. He was in
the booth just long enough to stamp a
straight ticket. Two weeks ago, in an
interview, he advised all ‘Republicans
to support the ticket.
——The excess of expenditures in
the auditor-general’s department for
1895 over 1893, is $14,000. What do

During the tropical hurricane season,

mine which will be the greatest, the
tropical hurricane or the transconti-
nental storm. It must be one or the
other and not both, because one robs
