Books have been sent to all the Committeemen with in structions to get the names of every voter in the several districts. The Committeemen will also appoint a vig ilence Committee to aid in getting out the voters. Under the new ballot law each party is entitled to three watchers whose names must be sent to the Judge of election, and they only are allowed inside the building next to the guardrail.

It is said that "the locomotive en ginecrs of Pennsylvania have decided to take steps to get rid of the boy operator. 1 he sort of curse he is, no one kqows better than the engineers who do not propose to have him en danger their lives any longer. They will ask the next Legislature to pass a bill providing regulations for the em ployment of telegraph operators. The requirements they advocate will be that every person before taking an oflice shall have had one year s ex perience ; shall not be under 21 years of age, and shall not be assigned to block signal work without having had some experience in that kind of work." To those who have read any of the prior numbers of ' Tal s From Town Topics," it is quite sufficient to merely announce that No. 5 (Sept) is now out, and they will hasten to get a copy.

No collection of short, racy, intense stories, charming, bright poems and sketches, crackling jokes and witticisms, com paring with this, has ever been pro duced. Town Topics is world-famsd as the spiciest, boldest, most entertaining of Weeklies, and the "Tales" are the best gleanings from its numbers of past years. No. 5 is fully equal to, if not better than, its sparkling predecessors. Price, 50 cents, post-paid. Town Topics, 21 West 23d street, New York. EiBT BSHTOH. J. F.

Why are there so many strikes this year? Is it because the McKinlcy bill raised the wages of the working men? There is some cause for it and we should like to know. Children Cry for Pitcher's Caetorla. Programme of Ceremonie3 Attending the Dedications of the Buildings of the World's Columbian Exposition, Oc tober 20, 21, 22, 1892, Chiuago. Illinois, U. S. A- When the Congress of the United States authorized the commemoration of the Four Hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America by an International Exposition to be held in Chicago during the summer of i8p3, it also provided that the Exposition building should be dedicated on the twelfth day of October, 189a, with 'appropriate ceremonies" Subsequent ly, by act of Congress, this date was changed touctouer at, 189?.

Boss Piatt has been given his price, and he has agreed to help Mr. Harri son's man Carter try to elect the man he fought so bitterly at Minneapolis. Such is the story which reached me from authentic republican sources. His price is the promise that he shall be made Secretary of the Treasury, if the "if is as big as a mountain in this case Mr. Harrison is reelected, and he has not taken a verbal promise from a third party as he did from Steve Elkins in 1888, but he has it in his "inside vest pocket" in black and white over the autograph of Air. Benjamin Harrison. Senator Quay, who is now in Florida, on a fishing trip, has also been r.artially. if not entirely "placated". He told a friend when he passed through here a few days ago, that he had promised to give the republican national com mittee a month of his time before the election. If these things show anything they show that the republican bosses, much as they dislike Harrison, are go ing to do their level best to elect the republican ticket, and if there are any democrats who have been counting upon republican defection as a ser ious factor towards democratic suc cess let them read the signs with pro fit, and remember :hat it is work, hard work and lots of it, that elects can didates, and remembering that, let them jump into the fray with en t.husiasm and stir up all their lagging brethren, and there wilt be no real doubt about the result. There are dozen of good reasons why Cleveland and Stevenson should be' elected and not a single good reason for their being defeated, but reasons do not count in the ballot box; votes are what carries the day, and in order to get out the votes every democrat must work, work, work, from now until the victory is won. Representative J. De Witt Warner, brings encourgaing news from New York, where he says everything looks unusually bright for the democrats who he says are coming together beauti ful!. He finds that the sentiment throughout the State is all that any one could ask toward the national ticket. He also says that there is no reason to suspect disloyalty from any democratic organization in the State while there is every reason to expect that every democrat in the State, and he is satisfied that this means a good healthy majority of the voters, will do his best from now on for the ticket. He spoke lightly of the circular issued last week in Eric county, and said he did not think it would result in any harm. There is no cholera panic among the officials of the Marine Hospital Service, which represents the national government, in dealing with the in troduction or spread ot epidemic diseases, but a commendable activity has been shown in taking steps to prevent the landing of any cholera patients in our seaboard cities, and also to prevent the disease making its way in by way of Canada. The old revenue cutter Ewing is to be used as a floating hospital at the Cape Charles quarantine station, while another reve nue cutter will aid in making inspect ions of European steamers. It is understood in the General Land Office that no Commissioner will be appointed to the vacancy made by the resignation of Mr. Car ter, to become chairman of the re publican national committee, until after election, so that if Mr. Carter fails in his efforts to re elect Mr. Harrison, which he is most likely to do, he can get a little consolation by having his old place given back to him, and by drawing the salary un til Mr. Cleveland appoints his suc cessor. Should Harrison win he is poked for Noble's chair. ORPHANS' COURT SALE OT TiMUU. Real Estate.

A fatal runaway accident oc t un-led in the public road near Tivoli, Lycom ing county. ' William Taylor, farmer cged io, was driving a spirited horse at a point called The Narrows, where t he public road winds around the hillside thirty feet above the track of the William sport & North Branch Railroad. A freight train.dashed alone; and frightened the horse, which became unmanageable. Taylor jumped colt and seized the horse by the bridle, but the animal jumped forward and man, vehicle, and horse fell over the embankment to the tracks thirty feet below. Taylor's head struck on a rail, and the wheels of a freight car passed over his neck completely decapitating him. The horse rolled under a car and was mangled. No car was de railed by the horse's body. The ve hicle was reduced to a pile of wreck age.
