Tho "Ellas Ely" was the name of tho flr.it locomotive. Bill Gor don was the engineer nud Fred Rustay was fireman. Another locomotive, the "S. D. Ingham," was placed on the road about the same time.

We, a committee appointed by the hnlnnaii of the regular Democratic County Committee of Carbon county, to consider the question of "harmony," ns presented by the meeting hold by certain other Democrats, in the Court House cm the ICth lust., do hereby nn swer tho said "Committee of Confer- nce'' appointed nt said meeting, nnd submit the following statement and eclaretiou to the whole Democracy of Carbon county: First, That there was it deplorable and apparently Irreconcilable division lu the party last fall which resulled in tho foimntloii of two distinct organi zations, and later two tickets, and Icfeat. Second, That both organizations elected chairmen for their rospectlvo county commit tees, and two sots of delegates to the Democrat ic Stale Con dition, one set for ISM, nnd ono sot for 1802. Third, That both sets of delegates were contestants at both State Con- entlons, I. o., 1891 and 1892, to eslnb llxh their regularity, anil in both enses tho party presided over by Michael Cassldy, as chairman, was declared by the unanimous vole of the Stato Con dition to bo. the regular delegation, and at the Stato Central Counnitteo meeting of last January Michael Cas sldy was seated at the regular Demo cratic chairman, lu a contest over corgo W. Esser, by a very decided majority. Fourth, That the abovu fucts settle, beyond a doubt, that Michael Cassldy Is tho regular chairman of the regular Democracy of Catbon county, so de clared by tho only pnw er having au thority to decldo the dispute, nnd having the regular authority to act In that capacity. Fifth, That it is to bo the interest of the Democratic party to have but one harmonious organization, ami that it is tho duty of all loyal Democrats to sustain that regular organization until it is replaced by another regular or ganization. That uudor the rules of tho Democratic party of Carbon coun ty Its regular organization comes to an end nunually, when the chairman of tho County Committee call the Demo emtio county meeting to order, nnd a president of the meeting Is elected. Thou u new county committco is se lected by said mooting, aud said now committco selects a new chairman and completes an entirely now county or ganization. Sixth, That we do not consider the reambleand resolution (which wero adopted at the meeting on the 10th inst. in the Court House) fair or hon orable for reasons hereafter given.

T. Kreider, of Maucji Chunk, at present a clerk lu Utu office of the auditor of merchandise tralllc, not provide for tho calling to order of the county meeting by any particular person; Inthollrst place tho " herons" or preamble is a quibble, every honest nnd intelligent Democrat, even those who prepared tho resulutlou, and all who attended tho meeting on the 10th lust., know that it lias always been the custom and usago of the party, for the county chairman to call the mooting to order, and t hat tho Democratic county rules, according to nil prelimi nary practice, fixes clearly the right of the county chairman to call tho meet ing to order. The rule is as follows: . Rule 1. The annual cuuutv meeting shall bo held ut the Court House, in tho borough of Mauch Chunk, on the socotid Monday in July of each year, at ono o'clock p. m. Notice shall be given by the Chairman of the County uoranmieo in the Democratic newspa pers of the county Here tho rulos make it the duty of the county chairman to meet. They assemble at his onll. Ho Is the only person who has the light to summon them together, and the only person who has tho right to call them to order when so assembled When said resolution says, "We waive the right of our chairman (Mr. Sharkey) to net in such ouimcity, pro viding the rival faction do likewise," Its authors should have known that this was uo waiver ou their part what over, us Mr. Shnrkey had no rights to waive in tho matter. Mr. Sharkey must admit that according to Democratic authority ho is not the regular chair man of the Democratic oouuty com mittee, hence he oould have no rights whatever to call the county meeting to order. There is but one mau who bus u clear light to call that meeting to order, under the Democratic county rules, and that man is Michael Cassldy, chairman of the Democratic county oommlttee. The resolution we deem u gratuitous lusult to Mr. Cassldy, wlieu it demands that lie should lei Ire in order to select "any honorable man in whom the Dem ocrats of the count- have ooutldeuce." We deem Mr. Cassldy an honorable man. The Democracy may lu face of this demand to dishonor and humiliate Mr. Cassldy, recall the fact that he has always been an anient, liard working Democrat, and when entrusted by his party with It Interests, the trust lias lieeu preserved, aud in its Integrity unimpaired returned uubuiirohed lo their generous hands. His honesty and houor have been abundantly proven to all the people of Carbon oouuty, when acting as their representative lu the Legislature of the Commonwealth. While Mr. Casaidy has oou tided this matter to our keeping, placing In our hands its tUsiajsltiou lu a great degree, weuauuot uuder all the ooudltlous iiermit him to retire, much less accede to an overture, however specious, dls houorlug to hiiu aud to the party he represeut as fttttugly. We are of the opinion that Mr. Casaidy should not retire until after he has as is his light, culled the meeting to order We are also iivcllued to believe that the above resolution represents the views of but l'l lll'l.l!

A Snflerlng- l'cllne Cunie llctueeii Two Souls That Heat Aa One. ne lives in Evanston, nnd during the past two years has boon paying his ad dresses to one of the most charming girls on tho north side. The wedding day has not been named, but their en gagement was announced almost a year ago. Several weeks ago. whilo thoy wero walking homo from church one Sunday night, thoy ran across a cat that was wailing piteouslyon a doorstep. "Do you hear that, Jim'f" sho exclaimed, grasping his arm with a closer grip. "There's something tho matter witli that poor little pussy. I'm going to seo what alls it." "Nonsenset" lie replied. "Let's go ou: the cat will take caro of itself. "No; lot's see what is tho trouble." Without more ado tho young woman ran up to tho cat nnd was horifled to find that tho animal had evidently been run over by a wagon, as its spine wa dislocated aud It was barely ablo to crawl by dragging its ulna legs. "She's dono for, sure enough," com mented tho Evanatoniau. "Sho won't last long. Come on, now." The girl suddenly straightened up tu her full height. "Do yon mean to say that you would leavo any animal tu Buffer like this! There is a drugstore on the next corner. Run over thero and buy an onnco of chloroform. Hurry, now, there s n aleorr "Nonsense! You don't suppose I'm going into the business of doctoring siok cats on the streets at night, do you? Be sensible." 'And you don t suppose t in going to let this cat suffer here, do you? Go nnd bring mo a bottle of chloroform instantly." "I won t do it." "But I insist." "You certainly can't lie in earnest!" "I certainly nui. If you don't do it 1 will go after it myself." "You want to make me appear lidlv ulous?' "Hurry up, dear!" For a moment the young man did not stir. The blood rushed to his face, litis be began to grow angry. "Be lierel" ho exclaimed. "This is carrying mat ters entirely too far. 1 will permit no woman to make a fool of me like this I'll get your chloroform if you really in sist, but I warn you you'll never have a olvance to do such a trick again. I will never have anything to do with yon again. Mark thatl" "Get the chloroform." "If I do everything is over between us." "All right; bring it." Two minutes later a fine lace hand kerchief saturated with the anaesthetic was applied by a fair, white hand to the nose of the suffering brat ami the wail ing ceased. Here tins story should end. A regard for the troth, however, compels the ad dition of the statement that the yoruu man thus far has actually carried his threat into execution aud the prospect of that wedding grows dimmer and dimmer.
