FRIDAY. DKCEMBER II, 1891.
Capt. R J. Linden of Philadelphia

Superintendent of the 1'inkerton De
tective Agency, and spent considerable
time in tuis county during the Mollie
Maguire trials.
WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington. I). C. Dec. 8th, 189L
Charles F. Crisp, of Georgia, was
nominated for Speaker of the Tifty
second Congress by the Democratic
caucus on the thirtieth ballot on Mon
day night. It was a close fight between
Crisp and Mills, with Springer and
McMillin following. On first ballot
the vote stood, Crisp, 84; Mills, 78;
Springer, 32; McMillin, 18. Hatch, 14;
Stevens, 1. On the last ballot it stood,
Crisp, 119: Mills, 105; Springer, 4;
Stevens, 1. Hon. S. P. Wolverton of
your district voted for Mills to the
last.
Ex-Congressman James Kerr of
Pennsylvania was selected for chief
clerk, Ex-congressman Samuel S. Vo
der of Ohio, for Sergeant at arms, Ex
congressman Charles H. Turner of
New York, for Door-keeper, and Ly
cargus Dalton of Indiana for Post
master. Never was the circus which is al
ways a part of the drawing by lottery
for seats in the House on the first day
of a new Congress, more enjoyed by
the members and spectators than it was
to-day, and the ring-leaders in the fun
were mostly the men whose nerves had
been racked to their utmost tension
during the long uncertain period of the
Speakership contest in the caucus.
The gayety of the members to day was
therefore but the natural reaction of
nature. The spectators in the galler
ies also took part in the sport. When
the members were all huddled up in
the open spaces -behind the seats and
the blind folded boy made his appear
ance to begin drawing the numbered
marbles out of the bo:: such remarks
is : "You'll get pulled for running a
ottery," "where's the cops," and "Van
unaker will be after you," might have
3een heard in all parts of the galleries,
wd even upon the floor of the House.
Never before were there so many
new faces in a single Congress and in
consequence there has been an unusual
run on the first edition of the Congres
sional Directory. Everybody wants
-to find out something about the un
known men. The occupations of the
Representatives, as given in the Direc
tory, show that the lawyers are still in
the majority, there being 213 who are
owners of legal "sheep-skins." Farm
ers came next with 65, school teachers
42, merchants 24, manufacturers 2c,
bankers and capitalists 19, journalists
10, printers 9, physicians 5, sailors 3,
clergymen 2, 1 miner, 1 machinist, 1
blacksmith, 1 bookbinder, 1 carpenter,
x tanner, 1 car finisher, and 1 harness
maker. The total of occupations giv--en
is greater than the membership, but
that is because some of the members
have followed more than one occupa
tion. 9 of the members were born in
Ireland, 3 ia Germany, 3 in Canada,
2 in Norway, 1 in Sweden, 1 in Greece,
1 in England, and 1 in Scotland. It
would be difficult to get a more repre
sentative body together.
The fellow who thinks he knows
what the House is going to do, is as
numerous as usual, but the man who
really knows what the House will do
does not exist. It will take some little
time for the members to confer and
arrive at some conclusion. Nothing
will be done hastily, and nothing will
be done before it has been approved
with practical unanimity by the demo
cratic members, Every member with
whom your correspondent has talked
appears to fully realize that upon the
action or non-action of the House may
depend the election of a democratic
President next year.
The Senate also has an influx of
new members, there being 16 of them,
including the three Alliance Senators,
Irby, Peffer, and Kyle, the first of
whom will vote with the democrats
the second with the republicans, and
the last as he happens to feel at the
time, upon all political questions.
Mr. Harrison announced to day that,
as the House would take considerable
time to organize, he would not send in
his message until to-morrow. There
is a reason for believing that the change
of programme was made not because
of the organization of the House, but
because of a change which Mr. Harri
son was persuaded by Mr. Blaine to
make in that portion of his message
relating to foreign affairs.
The deadlock in the democratic
:aucas from Saturday until to-day,
;ave many of the new members an en
irely new view of Congressional poli-ics.
SUDDEN DEATH-
Mrs. Louisa Gross died suddenly at
the resilience of her son in-law James
Ca.lman on East street last Sunday
evening. In the afternoon she was
out riding with her son Frank. After
returning home and while sitting on a
chair near the stove, her head dropped
forward. Mr. Cadman noticing the
peculiar position of her head went to
her and in raising the hc.id saw that
she did not breath. Death resulted
from heart failure. Mrs. Gross was
63 years of age, wife of the late Zebu
Ian Gross. Three daughters and two
sons survive her. She was born in
Scott township, her maiden name be
ing Louisa Cook. At the age of 4
years she was taken into the family of
Frederick Dreher. During Mrs. Dreh
er's declining years, Mis. Gross did
every thing to comfort her to repay for
her kindness. Mrs. Drvher died only
a few months ago. The funeral took
place on Wednesday afternoon, inter
ment in Rosemont cemetery.
EAST BEHTOH.
In Norfolk, Nebraska, a town of
about eight thousand inhabitants, a
sugar refinery was established last sum
mer of which the daily product was
about 40,000 lbs. Two thousand five
hunred acres were planted with sugar
beet of which three hundred acres froze
up before it could be harvested. About
$500,000 was invested in the sugar
plant. The above is part of a letter
frorn a friend working in the factor)-,
who also sent a sample of sugar manu
factured at that place.
It leaked out through an invited
guest that Rhor Shultz and Laura
Stine of this place will be united in
holy wed ock this Thursday, and the
event will have taken place before this
notice appears in print. A long and
Happy journey through life is the wish
of their many friends.
Last Friday afterno.in there was an
other heavy rain attended by a heavy
gale of wind.
The weather is remarkably mild and
open for the tin,e of year. People are
plowing in December as conveniently
as in May.
There arc again two stores in Cam-
Kra A Tr l!illina,i frnm lf.flr-
ville we believe, has located in the up-
er stand. Hon. James McHenry does
1 . . 1 ,
ousiness at ine oiu stand.
We overheard something like this.
The shooting match was a success for
the Cambra boys. Sile McHenry shot
three shots with the following result :
(of distance and circumstances we are
not informed) first shot 18 grains with
in a given circle, second shot 19 grains
and third shot 22 guins. The event
transpired last week at Fairmount
Springs, we think. The contest ap
pears to have been rather unequal.
Lane I lead Jen, a veteran soldier of
this place, is in a critical condition.
He has been afflicted with various
symptoms of rheumatism, and his re
covery is a question of grave doubts.
Nathan Keefer and wife of Wilkes
Barre are visiting friends in this com
munity. J. F. Ashleman and family took a
trip over the Nob Mountain last Satur
day and returned on Sunday.
Evidently the public schools of Ben
ton district give entire, satisfaction as
we have not heard the first word of
complaint.
The County Superintendent would
confer a favor upon East Benton by
calling upon him when visiting schools
in this locality.
Frank D. Collins, formerly member
of Congress from this district, died at
Scranton, November 21st.
(Catarrh
Is a complaint so common that comparatively
few people are entirely free from it, o insid
ious that it gains a firm hold almost before
its victims)are aware of its presence, so dang
erous as to seriously threaten the general
hcalih, and liable to develop into bronchitis or
Consumption.
It is a mistake to consider Calanh merely a
local trouble. It is unquestionably a disease
of the blood, and therefore the right way to
cure Catarrh U to remove from the blood the
impurities which cause and feed it. This is
to be done by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, the
great blood puritier, which effectually expels
all traces of poison and germs of disease.
"1 have been troubled for years witli
(Catarrh
and have never received the le.ist benefit from
the many so-called catarrh cures. Of late I
have been taking Mood's Sarsaparilla and can
honestly say that I am certainly improved.
I know Hood's Sarsaparilla to be a good
medicine." II. A. Gkorgk, Athol, Mass.
8tuffed-up Fooling
"For years I have been troubled with that
terrible disagreeable disease, Catarrh. I took
Hood's Sarsaparilla with the very best results.
It cured me of that continual dropping in my
throat, and stuffed-up'fecling." Mrs. S. L.
Heath, Putnam, Conn.
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Is the best blond purifier, the best nerve
helper, the best strength builder. Try it.
