Ellis Shaffer and the
Gazette.
John Stoner,
In today’s issue of the Gazelte there
appears a column leader on the first
page signed by Mr. JOHN STONER, a
wealthy lnmberman of Millheim, in which
‘he makes an attack on ELLIS SHAFFER,
the Democratic nominee for Sheriff.
Ignoring the probable misrepresentations
that the agent of the Gazette made in se-
curing the statement we wish to say that
it 1s absolutely misleading and false in
many respects.
The whole matter is covered by a case
now in court, where it will be equitably
settled in dae process of law, and instead
of JOHN STONER being the injured con-
testant Mr. SHAFFER is the victim. He is
the man who brought tbe proceeding into
court and upon the advice of the late Col.
W. F. REepER and CLEMENT DALE, his
attorneys ; Mr. DALE baving prepared the
bill in equity. °
Mr. N. B. SPANGLER is the master ap-
pointed by the court to consider the mat-
ter and his report shows that the firm of
HOMAN and SHAFFER owes JOHN STONER
only $466.48, part of which will be except-
ed to.
"The controversy arose over a lumber job
that HOMAN and SHAFFER bad taken for
Mr. STONER in Bedford county. Mr.
HoMAN is the man who was responsible
for its failure because Mi. SHAFFER could
not be there to give it his attention for the
1eason, as his neighbors all know, his
wife was ill with a malignant disease and
he remained at home with her until her
death. Iv the meantime the sheriff bad
sold ous the Bedford operations and when
Mr. STONER tried to sell Mr. SHAFFER’S
real estate for HOMAN'S debts he brought
the case into court. ,
The report of the master shows that Mr.
SHAFFER received only $392.12 ous of an
operation involving over $7000.00 and $200
of this amount be paid for a team of horses
for the firm.
The Gazelte’s frantic attempts to malign
and slander mewn seem to know no hounds.
Its persistent iying hax disgusted decent
Republicans and driven many of them
from their party.
In fact we have heard a number of them
say: ‘‘Iam going to vote for the Demo-
cratic Sheriff and Commissioners simply
because I don’t want that sucker to have a
cent’s. worth of the county printing.”

He has openly mouthed to his rcaders another brazen falsehood, which has no
bearing in this campaign, but we will take time and space to note and refute it,
to again prove to the public that T. H. Harter is not only unreliable, but a
deliberate and vicious falsifier; and that no one is justified in placing any con-
fidence in the allegations of that paper, the Keystone Gazette.
To prove our.charge (and it is a serious one against a fellow publisher) care- °
ful attention is called to the parallel columns below. The first column is an ex-
tract from a tripple-headed article attacking the sheriff, that appeared in the
last issue of the Gazette, Friday Sept. 20th; while the second column is a cor-
rect copy of an order, signed by Gov. Pennypacker, (the original can be seen
at this office) directing and authorizing Sheriff Taylor to release certain pris-
oners. /

Sec. of the Com.
The above copy of an order from the Governor of Pennsylvania to the Sher-
iff of Centre county absolutely proves that our Sheriff simply obeyed orders;
and the Gazette is guilty of another falsehood. :
Such untruthful allegations are simply amazing ! You can hardly understand
how anyone, if possessed of but ordinary sense, (though unprincipled and
even with malicious intent) would dare attempt such a foolish course; he cer-
tainly would know that ultimately his act would brand him as an ignorant
knave, and bring him humiliation and the contempt of all honest people. Pass-
ing by the question of common honesty, the above attack gives evidence of a
lack of ordinary prudence, is a display of mental weakness; the writer thereof
must be developing senile debility (unusual in the early soties,) which is but a
short step from the mental excentricities exhibited by him in recent years, and
grown so marked of late. Let us be just to the unfortunate—overlook these ir-
rational rantings, rather than hold Mr. Harter to a full account,
“We may say that other assaults on Sheriff Taylor, by the Gazette, are found-
ed on about as much fact as this one.

THE FACTS :

| cording to an act of Assembly.
2nd—The former Democratic Board
did not contract for ome cent of this
bill.
3rd—This extravagant bill for in-
specting was due to the fact that the
gang of Bridge Builders at Harrisburg
sent a lot of political heelers here from
distant parts of the state to inspect this
little structure.

the present commissioners it utters an-
other falsehood—they never had any
knowledge of the bill; as it was not
rendered until Sept. 16th, 1903, —eight
months after the Democratic Board
were out of office.—How then could

BRENGLE—CURTIN,—Oue of the society
events in Philadelphia, last Saturday, was
the marriage of Miss Katharine Irvin Car-
‘tin, daughter of Mr. and "Mrs. W. W. Car-,
tin and grand-daughter of the late ‘‘War
Governor,” Andrew G. Curtin. The Phil-
adelphia Sanday North American had the
following account of the event:
Autumn’s glorious colors made the church
of the Good Shepherd, at Rosemont, very
beautiful yesterday for the “wedding of Miss
Katharine Irvin Curtin and Lawrence John
Brengle. The guests, who filled the church,
were all from the fashionable world.
Andrew Gregg Curtin, Pennsylvania's hon-
ored war Governor, who later became minis-
ter to the court of Russia,was the grand -fath-
er of the bride of yesterday. When she made
her debut several years ago she became im-
mediately one of the smart set’s prime favor-
ites. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William
Wilson Curtin, live at Rosemont.
Mr. Brengle is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jas.
S. Brengle, of 1732 Spruce street. The fami-
ly is originally from Frederick, Md., but it
"has been for many years prominent in the
social life of Philadelphia.
And so this wedding was what society calls
an “event.” Bishup McVickar, of Rhode
Island, performed the ceremony, and the
Rev. Arthur Conger, rector of the church of
the Good Shepherd, assisted him. Mrs. Hend,
of Boston, a sister of the bridegroom was ma.
tron of honor, and the bridesmaids were Miss
Louise Lippitt, of Providence, R. I.; Miss
Carolyn Welsh, Miss Helen Frazier, Miss
Constance Lippincot, Miss Katharine Brinley
and Miss Honora Dixon.
The ceremony was performed on the stroke
of 12, and afterward there was a breakfast at
‘‘Brentwood,’”’ the home of the bride's par-
ents.
For the last few years Mr. Brengle has
been in business at San Francisco, but the
company with which be is counected recent-
ly transferred its headquarters to New York
and he and his bride will live in that city.
