State Treasure whip.
In discussing the probable action
ol the coming Democratic State Con
vention the Philadelphia limes says:
The btate Treasurership prob
ably takes precedence over the other
offices for which candidates will be
nominated. The Democrats are con
fident that with a strong candidate.
and a factional fight within the lines
of the Republican party, they can
win. Among the men who have
been suggested as the likely standard-bearer
in this contest are Rep
resentative William T . Creasy, of
Columbia county; Representative
George R. Dixon, of Elk, Captain
Hasson, of Venango; Colonel John
Spangler, of Centre, and the law
partner of Ex-Governor Hastings,
and John B. Keenan, of Westmore
land. There is a strong indication that
the man who will be the final sel
ection of the convention is Mr.
Creasy. He is a young man and
has always been an active Democrat.
He has served three terms in the
State Legislature and has served in
various capacities in Columbia
County. He is a farmer and is
popular among the party leaders. It
is acknowledged that his candidacy
would give the Republicans serious
concern.
For Supreme Court Justice there
aie nearly a score of candidates. Ot
these Judge Ermentrout, of Berks
county, and Simon P. Wolverton,
of Northunibealand, are forging
ahead and it is thought that one or
the other will be nominated. The
other candidates include Judge Har
mon Yerkcs, of Bu:ks;' Judge Peter
P. Smith, of Scranton; Judge Bech
tel, of Schuylkill, and George A.
Jenks, late' Democratic Senatorial

tains of Lebanon, to the people, a
proclamation by the Governor, to
prepare the way for the coming of the
Prince ot Wales.
She gives also an account of her
night from the perseculions of her
native land to America, with the
knowledge of only a few English
words.
She has since labored in Egypt four
years, and is now working in the
slums of Philadelphia. All who have
heard Madam Barrakat will not fail
to hear her again. This lecture is
free to all. A collection will be taken

Fell From a Porcb to Her Death-
Mrs. Susan Geiger, aged seventy
six years, met death very suddenly at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sarah
Pegg, on West Third street, with
whom she had been making her home
She was in the act of stepping from
the walk to the porch, when by reason
of her advanced age, her form being
tremulous, she lost her balance, and
fell backwards, her head striking ih
hard stone pavement with terrific force,
She was removed into the house f nd
given all the attention possible, but
she was beyond human aid and site
died in a few minutes. Before she re
moved to the home of her daughter,
she resided in that part of town known
as Port Noble. She is survived by
four children, Mrs. Sarah Pegg and
Mrs. Anna Rhodes of th:s town, and
Martin Geiger of Sunbury and Charles
Geiger ol Philadelphia, all of whom
have the heartfelt sympathy of this
entire community.
