The fight for United States Senator
in this state is becoming quite warm.
Senator Quay declares that his man
Penrose is sure of nomination, claim
ing 150 votes in caucus.
Quay thinks they are not treating
him right in Philadelphia. He is
saying all kinds of nasty things about
Philadelphia's attempt to send $400,
000 John Wanamaker to the United
States Senate s
Vanderslice vs. Snyder-
The suit of Vanderslice against the
estate of Mary Snyder deceased,
which has been hanging in court for
several yeais, was decided by Judge
Metzger last Thursday. Judge Ikeler
was a witness in the case, and there
fore could not preside, and it was
certified to Judge Rice of Wilkes
Barre who resigned as President
Judge to go on the Superior bench,
and the matter was then certified to
Judge Metzger.
When N. U. Funk Esq., filed his
account as excutor of Mary Snyder,
an auditor was appointed to distri
bute the fund. A claim was present
ed by the assignees of Jos. R. Vander
slice, on a written guarantee signed
by the alleged mark of Mrs. Snyder,
and agreeing to pay J. R. Vanderslice
certain debts owed to him by Daniel
Snyder, a son of the decedent.
The claim was contested by the
escate on the ground that Mrs. Snyder
did not sign the paper, and that if she
did, there could be no recovery on it
because of certain legal defects in the
document. Several hundred pages of
testimony were taken before the
auditor, and then an issue was asked
for by the claimants, to try the ques
tion before a jury as to whether Mrs.
Snyder did or did not sign the paper.
Judge Rice granted the issue and the
case was tried before him, the jury
finding that Mrs. Snyder did sign the
paper. Judge Rice resigned before
disposing of the case, and as before
stated it was referred to Judge Metz
ger, who has filed his opinion in favor
of the claimants. The amount in
volved is several thousand dollars,
and will take the entire estate. The
case will probably go to the Supreme
Court.
Doctors in Session.
The Columbia County Medical So
ciety held an interesting meeting in
the Catawissa Hotel parlors on Tues
day last week. There were present
Drs. Reber, Bruner, Brown and John,
of Bloomsburg; Montgomery, ofBuck
liorn ; Zimmerman, of Numidia ; Foll
mer, of Rohrsburg, and Sharpless,
Kline, Robbins, Geo. H. and J. H.
Vastine, of Catawissa. The unlucky
number -thirteen were present, but
as physicians are not superstitious no
harm will come.
An interesting paper was read by
Dr. John on Ophthalmia Neonatorum
and discussed by the society, and an
appropriate address was delivered by
the retiring president, Dr. Bruner.
Election of officers was held for the
ensuing year, and appointment of del
egates to the State Medical Society
was also made.

Big Bank Failures.
Three Chicago banks closed their
doors on Monday. The National
bank of Illinois and two private con
cerns go up together. The causes of
the suspension as given in the resolu
tions adopted by the clearing house
committee are "unwanantable and
injudicious loans" through which "the
capital and surplus of said banks is
seriously imperilled if not absolutely
bst."
Congressman Monroe H. Kulp, who
was taken seriously ill while on his
road to Washington last week, is re
ported much better. He is at the
hospital in Washington.
Among the list of Pennsylvania
inventors reported by Snow & Co.,
last week, we notice one granted to
J. P. Casey, formerly of this town for
an electric elevator.
NEIGHBORHOOD NLWS.
EAST DENTON.
Last Saturday a deep gloom was
cast over the community when the
shocking news of the sudden death of
1). T. Lutes of this towi.ship was be
ing circulated through the neighbor
hood. This death is a peculiarly sad
one. He had gone to the blacksmith
shop at Five Points to get his horses
roughed when he tell dead in the shop.
He was of careful and correct business
habits, of sterling integrity, and served
this township in various official capac
ities, being Secretary of the School
Board at the time of his death. A
widow and a large family of children
survive to mourn their loss. He was
a man of good disposition, a loving
husband, an affectionate father, and a
good neighbor. A son and daughter
were but recently married. The de
ceased was aged about 65 years.
In a conversation with Rev. White
of the M. E. Charge, not long ago, the
question arose whether the world
grew better or worse. A great many
people look upon our age as degener
ating instead of progressing in better
morals. Rev. White said that some
one had answered the question thus:
"The world grows worse only in spots."
This we believe is as good a version
of it as can be given. Upon the
whole, we believe the world grows
better as time progresses.
Our public schools are certainly
growing in better condition. An ele
ment of improvement is free text
books. I have advocated free text
books for more than thirty years.
During my long experience in teaching
1 had many pupils in my charge with
out the necessary if any books. In
many cases I was obliged to be both
teacher and books to school pupils.
Last Tuesday one week ago G. M.
Howell, VanCamp's long continued
Post Master, was stricken with para
lysis. He is in a critical condition,
not being able to talk. He is little
past 74 years of age, and up to the
time of his affliction, wis well pre
served for one of his years. Mr.
Howell is nearlv deaf, and under the
circumstances the family is in a pitia
ble condition and have the svmnathv
of the entire community.
lhe fall work, preparatory for
winter is well under way.
The J?oet Newton had a more
exalted view of the majestic sublime,
than beautiful weather, when he nen-
ned the soul stirring lines, "How
tedious and tasteless the hours" &c
when further on occur the lines :
"But when I am happy in him" "Dec
ember's as pleasant as May." The
beautiful weather of this December,
some time ago, forcibly reminded us
of the Toet's beautiful hymn.
We were told that if McKinley was
elected, confidence would be immedi
ately restored and times get better.
Well confidence is restored and the
soup house business is booming for a
fact.
