The political sensation of the past week was the speech of DAVID H. LANE, of Philadelphia, before the Nineteenth ward Republican committee of that city, on Fri- day evening last. Mr. LANE, a veteran politician and an experienced party leader, is vice president of the Republican city committee of Philadelphia. Part of his duties is to see that the ward workers are active and vigilant in the campaign. In pursuance of that duty he had called a meeting of the ward committee in question, which was designated in the call as one of great importance. That it was to be secret may be inferred from the fact that the members were requested to bring the invi- tation with them. ‘‘to show at the door.” That it was important is proved by the fact that the president of the city committee was one of the speakers. President MILES was the first speaker but his remarks were of a perfunctory char- acter. As a matter of fact he merely intro- duced Mr. LANE and conveyed the idea that he (LANE) would speak for the ‘‘or- ganization.”” That he did so there can be no doubt. He not only spoke for it but of it. He told the committeemen that the “organization’’ dispenses the offices and controls the patronage. They contribute the money to compensate the workers for their labor and keep the proper men in of- fice. ‘‘Itappropriated $40,000 today,’’ he continued ‘to buy 80,000 tax receipts for voters,”” and growing confidential and earn- est he added that “‘it controls the votes of the Hungarians, Poles, and other foreigners and the criminal classes BY GIVING THEM FA- VORS.”’ What Mr. LANE said of the Republican organization of Philadelphia is literally true, not only of that city but of Pittsburg, Soranton and other large cities. ‘It is the ladder to place holding, and the breaking of the ladder, or any of its rungs, would mean failure of persons seeking office’’ of the character of those whom it supports. It is not governed by principle. Integrity has no place among its equipment. It stuffs ballot boxes, promotes criminals, fosters vice and debaunches innocence. But it was unwise for Mr. LANE to be so candid in telling of its characteristics and purposes. He ought to have whispered that to the ward workers singly. There are a few decent people here and there who are need- ed to give respectability to the ‘‘organiza- tion?” and hold the church vote in line. But in the light of Mr. LANE’S interpreta- gion of the party they cannot be expected to ‘“‘go along’ any further. The Republican ‘‘organization”’ of Phila- delphia is a gang of pirates engaged in the nefarious business of looting the people for the benefit of the office holders. It isa band of robbers burglarizing the community for the benefit of the bosses. DAVE LANE, | the acknowledged ‘leader of the outfit, has openly confessed the fact and from the mo- ment that he spoke no honest man could continue in affiliation with the thieves. Every man who votes the ticket is a partner in the crimes that are committed every day in Philadelphia in the name of the Repub- lican ‘‘organization,’” for the Republican organization of Philadelphia shapes the policies and directs the movements of the party in the State. There is no esoape from the respousibility. LANE has told the truth. and even if he was indiscreet his statement stands. a————————————— But Both are Good Shows and Merit Support Brother Swank, From the Johnstown Tribune. In waxing sarcastic,as it supposes the Buf- falo Express thus displays a tinge of jeal- ounsy: ‘About the most remarkable thing that has come to light this fall is the coun- try paper that attempts to roast some feature of the Pan-American, but booms its country fair industriously, though nothing is tobe seen there but a muddy race track, a taffy stand,and a merry-go round.”’ The ordin- ary country fair is no such insignificant concern as the Buffalo paper would make out; but if it were much less, it would still be more deserving of support than the Pan- American show from the facts that it isnot an institution created in the interest of rail- road companies; it does not beg money for its support from other parts of the country, but ‘paddles its own canoe;’’ and it is not made, as Buffalo and the Pan-American have come to be, a brothel and a meeting place for vicious elements from the four points of the compass. When it comes to a balancing up between the good and the evil, benefitand injury, the balance isvery emphatically in favor of the country fairs as against the Buffalo show and the country papers are right in booming them. of the grading work for Sundstrom & Strat- ton. He gives his orders to twelve fore- men, who bave 250 men at present divided among them. The gangs work in day and night shifts, Sundays included, so that when it is not raining, every hour of time { in the twenty-four is occupied. There are two standard gauge locomo- tives and forty standard gauge cars at work on the wide tracks. In addition to these there are six smaller, twelve ton cngines, two of which were received from Pittsburg and made their first hauls yesterday. The greatest interest at present centers in the steam shoveis. The larger of three now in use is at work in the upper cut on the Shaw farm. To see this immense iron scoop handled by a crane with the ease that a man handles a shovel, and with smoother action, is a fascinating sight. The scoop is lowered to the level, shoved into the embankment and scraped towards the surface—which surface varies in height from the level from eight to ten feet in that particular cut—and than swung around and dumped on the flat car, with a rapidity that is marvelous. Two men operate the scoop—the one handles the levers in di- recting it, the other pulls a rope which un- | fastens the bottom aud lets the dirt fall from the huge box to the car. These steam scoops in twenty-four hours handle 4 000 yards of dirt and perform the work of 450 men. There are also two smaller steam shovels in use, and one of these is still working in the cut west of the upper one. The smaller scoops handle 2,000 yards of dirt in twenty- four hours and takes the places of 225 men. A train of ten cars can be loaded by these are hauled to the fill-ins and dumped. The one train is used to fill in along the track towards the Pine Creek bridge. The un- loading of this train is done by a cable, plow and leveler. The plow is placed ab the extreme end of the train,and by means of a small engine, the plow is drawn to- wards the engine and shoves the dirt off the cars which is afterwards leveled. A train of ten cars can be unloaded in from five to ten minutes. As already published, the ground is be- ing carried away from the cuts to make room for a yard of thirty-six tracks. All the shops will be on the south side of the main Beech Creek railroad track, and the yard will be constructed on the north side of the main track. The work of constructing the arches un- der the tracks will soon begin. There will be four arches from 75 to 120 feet in length. Superintendent Dalton is expecting several carloads of men this week. These men he will put to work on the Y switchs from the Beech Creek to the Fall Brogk tracks. This Y will he a double track and will be over one mile in length. Sundstrom & Stratton now have three big contracts on hand —this one at Oak Grove; the other, the construction of three large dams at Middletown, N. Y., and the third, which they were awarded last week, the grading of eight miles of the Delaware & Hudson railroad at White Hall, N. Y. Mr. Dalton states that the grading at Oak Grove will be finished some time in January. McArthur & Bro., who have the shop contracts, are staking off the sites for the large buildings. Last week they sublet the contract for the big round house to a New Jersey firm. The concrete work on the foundations will begin in a few days. ————— A Double Tragedy. John Bennett, DuBoise, Formerly of Phiiipsburg, Kilts Himself and Wife. DuBois Morning Courier of the 8th inst. contained the following account of a tragedy the principal in which at one time conduct- ed the livery stable now occupied by Hur- ley Bros. of Philipsburg. The redeeming feature of the terrible affair is that he ended his life by lus own hand and averted the murder trial which could have had but one end. “One of those startling double tragedies which often comes from domestic turmoil, inconstancy, or lovers, troubles, was en- acted last night at a house near the Logan poultry farm, on the east side of town. “Phe parties who met death by the hand of violence were John Bennet and his wife, formerly a Miss Arnold, daughter of David Arnold. «Bennett and his wife bad quarieled, and a week ago they separated the wife going to the home of her sister, Mis. Kling who lives near the Reikeldifer hotel, on the east end of Maple avenue, while Beunet disappeared. The man turned up in town again, and towaids evening went out to see his wife. He either wanted a reconciliation. or pretended he did for the sake of providing the opportunity to com- mit the horrible murder and suicide which he did last evening. “Phe most that is known of the story is that about midnight a man came hur- riedly into town after George Arnold, a brother of Mrs. Bennet who was at the St. Elmo hotel. He told the brother that Bennet bad shot and killed his wife, and then himself, and the two hurried away out Maple avenue. “‘Chiet of police Roney learned of it and, behind Arnold and "the messenger, and at this stage two representatives of the Courier jumped into a buggy and followed also, whereby the information was confirmed. “Beunett was about 35 years old, and his wife 27. Until recently Bennett kept a livery stable at the rear of the Wayne hotel, quitting that to work at the chicken farm. The man and wife clashed a good deal, but there was not enough dynamic _intensity about thair troubles to lead their friends to fear a tragedy. “Both had lived here a long time, Ben- nett being married once before, and the wife’s family is connected with the Waynes, who are among the most prominent fami- lies of the vicinity. “Bennett went to J. W. King’s, where his wife was staying and called her out about 10 o'clock last night, which was the second visit he had made to her since noon. She stepped out into the front yard and a few moments later the inmates of the house heard two ‘shots fired in rapid suc- cesssion. They ran out and found both lying on the ground, each with a bullet hole in the forehead, and a 31-calibre re- volver lying smoking beside the body of Bennett.” ————————— ——A home talent show in Lock Haven on Monday night netted $200 for the hos- scoops in ten to fifteen minutes.

Cruse, only daughter of Mrs. Josephine and the late A. J. Cruse, and Samuel Kline Woodring, which took place at the Cruse home on east Linn street on Wednesday afternoon, was a small family affair with out the least display or ostenta- ion. The ceremony was solemnized at 5 o'clock by the Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Presbyterian church. A supper was serv- ed after the ceremony and the young peo- ple departed on the evening tiain fora short wedding journey to Boffalo and the ¥ eastern cities.

He retired at the usual time, but early in the morning he aroused the family for some needed attention and within five minutes thereafter was dead.
