—Miss Mary McCord, one of Lewistown's best
known residents, died at her residence there
Thursday morning, October 13th. For many
yearsshe was principal of the Lewistown public
schools, and was at one time principal of the
Lewistown Academy. Her last educational work
was done on the Isthmus of Panama, where she
had charge of one of the educational institutions.
She had been an invalid for some time.
~The Lewisburg bridge case, in which the
Lewisburg Bridge Company sought to make the
counties of Union and Northumberland pay big
damages for erecting a free bridge so close to
their old toll bridge that the franchise was worth-
less, came to an end Saturday afternoon when
the jury returned a verdict for the defendants. A
rough estimate places the costs, which must be
fesses to be Republican but of the inde-
pendent variety and it certainly is not
Democratic. Therefore its comment on
Senator Grim's offer to withdraw from
the campaign and surrender his honestly
acquired nomination for Governor as the
Democratic candidate, is the more signifi-
wonder is: How many of that eminent paid by the plaintiffs at $1000. A new trial will be

the outburst of indignation on the part of
the Prohibitionists when LEWIS EMERY:

votes for himseif. Can a Prohibitionist
be true either to his cause or his con-
science and vote for him when only four
years ago he was urging others to vote
frankly and freely deprecated his attitude
with respect to Mr. GRiM. We want to
think well of him in the future as we
have in the past. But he must consent
to this compromise in the interest of
good government to justify his claim to
patriotic motives and honest intentions
in his candidacy. If he remains in the
field TENER will be elected as certain as
the night follows the day. If he with-
