The following case tried in the Brad ford county courts will be of interest to the people having property insured: William R. Reading vs. Susquehanna Mutual Fire Insurance Co. The plain tiff is a young man residing in Warren township, who formerly had a creamery at Leßaysville, which with its contents was destrcyed by fire. Defendant, an insurance company at Harrisburg. claims that no policy had been issued to the plaintiff. The facts seemed to show that the plaintiff had applied to the local agents tor insurance, that the application was forwarded to the company and policy written and sent to local agents; plaintiff called on agents, paid his premium and was in formed that insurance was all right but neglected to take his policy. A fire occuring soon after, the defendant company withdrew ihe policy from the local agentr, and set up that it had not deen delivt red Jury in verdict find for plaintiff In the sum ol $l,- 91 7-Jc —-Towanda Review. An Important Oase. We take the following from the Sunbury Daily , which will be of in terest to many of our readers: "In our mention of the cases from this county to be argued in the Superior Court at Philadelphia on the 24th inst., we omitted the case of Lyda Erdman vs. Emanuel Gott shall. This case is a very important one, especially to farmers as it relates to their duties in fencing in their cattle. In the trial of the case in our court Judge Savidge held that the owner of cattle must* fence them in at all hazards; that the mere fact of his having a sufficient fence was not enough to relieve him from his liability for any damage they might commit if they broke out. That he is only relieved in case some mis chevious or malicious person open ed the fence so as to permit the cattle to escape. In other words the owner "is absolutely bound to keep them within his own close, upon his own premises," and it is not a ! question whether the owner isnegli i gent or not in entrusting them to I another party to drive them to his field. If they escape and do damage the owner is liable. If this case is affirmed, owners of cattle will have to exercise great care with their ! fences and in driving their cattle to their fields. 4 What do the Children Drink ? Don't give them tea or coffee Have you tried the new food drink called Grain-0 ? It is delicious and nourish ing and takes the place of coffee. The more Grain-O you give the children the more health you distribute through their systems. Grain-O is made of pure grains, and when properly pre pared tastes like the choice grades of coffee but costs about £ the price. All grocers sell it. 15c and 25c. 10-I A-4td THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. A. Gold Ulooded Harder. There is a saying to the effect that "they don't hang for murder in Northumberland county." For many years past that belief has held good, and many a murderer has escaped the gallows in that county, but it will, no doubt, be done away with at the next term of Court, when young Ed ward Cressinger will be tried for the murder of pretty 13-year-old Daisy Smith, whose shot-riddled body was found by her father one day last week. He has confessed the crime, and says he killed her because she jilted him. The crime was carefully planned, Cressinger says. He had learned that Miss Smith intended to visit a friend at a nearby hamlet, and with a gun and a knife in his hands he lay in wait for his victim. He saw her emerge from the woods and came towards her on the road. Secreting himself, he waited until she was within twenty yards and then took deliberate aim at her eyes and pulled the trigger. The girl dropped unconscious to the ground, but fear ing that she still lived, Cressinger says, he cut her three times with his knife across the neck, severing the jugular vein and almost cutting the head from the body. The job complete, Cressinger hastened to retreat, but first withdrew the shell from the gun and dropped it by her side. He then wiped the blood from his hands. Making his way over the road he noticed a hollow tree in the woods and into this he dropped the knife. It was found there yesterday. On reaching home Cerssmger placed the gun in its customary place without being noticed, and then went about cleaning the blood from his overalls. In this operation he was discovered by a posse, who were looking for the murderer, and he was taken into cus tody, barely escaping lynching. Through the shrewdness of the coroner he was hustled away to jail. Who Shall Rule. The real contest and issue in this election is between Quayistn and the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The question that you must answer on your conscience and on your character as patriots is, who shall rule, one single auto cratic ruler, with those whom he has bound to himself, or the voice of the people, honestly expressed by the ballot ? GEO. A. JENKS, at Mcadville. VOTE FOR COCHRAN FOR STATE SENATOR. AN ADDRESS TO THE VOTERB of Pennsylvania by the Democratic State Executive Committoe. HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, 1406 SOUTH PENN SQUARE, PHILA DELPHIA, PENN'A. To the Citizens of Pennsylvania: Through a long and trying period the people of our great State have suf fered from the multiplied evils insepar able trom misgovernment. Their just and repeated demand for relief has been persistently refused; their em phatic expressions of condemnation have been defiantly ignored. Instead of retrenchment and reform, they have witnessed an aggravation of miscon duct upon the part ot those entrusted with official responsibility. Every promise exacted has been broken; every effort to stem the tide of extra vagance and iniquity has been defeat ed through the power unscrupulously exercised by selfish and conscience less leaders. LThe name and influence of a great political party has been used to carry out schemes of public plunder, participated in by members of the legislative and executive branch es of the State government, and by others charged with the performance of public trusts of a local character. This organized conspiracy against the interests of the people has extended to every part ot the Commonwealth, and nothing but patriotic and most determined unity of action upon the part of good citizenship will break it up and restore honest, efficient and economical administration. In this crisis the Democratic party has taken a position where it can sin cerely and effectively appeal to the patriotism and manhood of our long enthralled State. It has undertaken a contest in behalf of all the people, regardless of the ordinary lines of political partisanship. It has set the battle against the enemies of honest government as the supreme issue of the hour, and thus in line with the righteous and imperative demand of the people it means to go forward, courageously and invincibly. From every section of the State has come a response to this wise and patriotic ac tion that is most inspiring. Men of opposite political faith are standing shoulder to shoulder and moving on to certain victory ovei the common foe. The chief standard bearer of this movement is a man of the people, who profoundly believes in govern ment of the people and for the people, and his record of conscientious and faithful service in the cause of private and public purity nd fidelity is the highest guarantee that his election to the chief magistracy of Pennsylvania will usher in a new era at the State Capitol. To the lion. George A. Jenks every citizen may confidently look for safe leadership in this contest for the right. He has never sought public office and is under no such ob ligations as make the servants of politi cal task-masters obedient to their im perious demands. He has for two score years set the highest example of personal honor, and while in the public service won the admiration of political friends and foes by unselfish devotion to duty and unwavering zeal in behalf of the best interests of the people. He is pre-eminently the man for the hour in Pennsylvania, and as the people come to fully know what manner of man tye is they will rally to his support with unity and enthusiasm hereto un known. The associates of Mr. Jenks on the State ticket are all men of high char acter and thorough fitness. Two of them, Hon. Wra. Sowden and Captain Patrick DeLacy, were brave soldiers in the war for the Union, serving in the ranks with fidelity, and the last named wears the Congressional medal of honor for exceptionally meritorious conduct in battle. The candidates for the Superior Court, Prof. Wm. H. Trickett, of Dickinson College, and Hon. Calvin M. Bower, of the Belle fonte Bar, are men of recognized abil ity and attainments and their election would add to the dignity and efficiency of the bench. The candidates for Congressmen-at-Large, Messrs.Weiler and lams, are earnest and honest rep resentatives of the plain people, who especially deserve, and should receive, the confidence and support of the State, in field and factory. The outlook is most encouraging. A brief campaign has already demon strated the readiness and determina tion of the people to improve the op portunity thus presented, and there is every indication that the rising tide for jenks and reform will sweep on, from the Ohio to the Delaware. This committee congratulates voters, irre spective of party, upon the prospect, and asks every good citizen to do his whole duty. Let there be no lagging at any point. Close up the ranks. Be not deceived by the schemes of the skulking enemies of reform, who are seeking to mislead voters into sup porting a third candidate who has no chance of election. Fully a half riillion loyal Demo crats will march to the polls arid cast their bal'ots for the ticket headed by Mr. Jer.ks; ard this mighty army will be joined in every county by untold numbers of honest Republicans, who have resolved to break the power of Quayism and all that it stands for for ever. Give us your hearts and your hands and your help in every way practicable. The • distribution of timely literature is a needful work in which all can engage, and every good citizen should labor with his neighbor and see that he hears right, thinks right and votes .right. Let there be an irresistible union of patriotic senti ment and practical effort and the re sult will be a crowning victory for genuine reform, on the Bth of No vember next. (Signed) JNO. M.
