It is admitted that the elements of succsss In the light will be the united support of the Democ racy and the Independent Republicans, and during the week pesitive assurances have been given that the ticket will re ceive the united support of all Democrats, and that Independent Republicans by the thousand. In all parts of thn state, will show tliolralleglance te purity in politics by voting for l'attisen, Illack and Har clav. Ex-Gov crner Pattlsen received hundreds of letters last week from Republicans who premised him support. Most of these men will net let tbelr I nil none e be felt until election clay, as an epen avowal of their intention te cut their ticket would oxpeso them te the importunities of their slalvv alt friends during a four months campaign. The list of iiilluentlal Republicans who have publicly declared their Intention te vote for Pattlsen is dally growing, and it is these declarations, all made voluntarily, that htrengthen the belief that a laige llepuhlicau vote vv III be east for the Demo cratic ticket. " I intend te vele for Rebert V. Pattlsen for governor," said Mr. William Cook, of Philadelphia.

In an Interview en the gubernatorial situation he slid: " The feeling against Quay and his man Delamater in McKean county, se near Delamatur's home, is the bitterest I have ever seen. 'Iho county Is Republican by a majority of from 1,000 te 1,'200, but I feel confident" in saying these figures will be leiiud lu the Democratic column this time. The oil producers, w he empley most of the labor lu that region, will light Delamater, because when he was in the legislature he fought every measure that was lortneir benefit and thereby showed very plainly that lie was playing into tlie hands of the .standard company, xne oenei is iirm in McKean county that were Quay's man elected he would be under the control of tlie Standard and would favor all legisla tion tending te enrich that octopus and crush out the smaller preducers.

"The thousands of men omiileyoel by the preducers will vote against llelainater, ler their occupation depends upon it. Senater Emery will take the stump for l'attisen early this fall, and will de ail his talking te Republicans. He will rcilerate his charges, vv hicli se far Delamater has net attempted te deny.

A lllu lliiss JVem the ConeHteKU-Salnion Very Plenty In the Itlver. Wlille out at tlie C'onestogu fishing en Saturday allei neon, Edward Wiley caught a bass weighing 3 pounds and 11 ounces. This is about the largest llshel the kind taken In the sticiim near the city this summer. Thore are many llshormen along the Susquehanna who bolieve that the coming llsh in that stream are salmon, and that they will eventually take the place of bass. They bay that thorn are new many mom Millien in tlie river than bass. 'Iho bait principally used for silmeii Is the lamprey cel. 'Ihose eels aie very scarce, and indeed cm scarcely be procured at times. Theso game llsh will also blte at chubs and stone catfish, but they are net nearly as fend of them as of eels. 'I lie geed fishing of Prank llicmier, efS ile Harber, en Thursday and Friday, was noted in the I.MH.i,icii..sc-Kit. On Saturday Ilreiiuer was out llshiug for silmeu aud he caught twenty-three very line large hsh. Prank Is nnu of tlie host fisherman en the Susquehanna river, and the hading anglers of this city who visit Safe Harber ulvv uj s have him take them out. Mr. Hrcimcr says that the muddv water cf this spring interfered greatly with the llshiug this fciseii. 'Ihore wasa big run of cjtlish, hut they could net be taken with hook aud line owing te the cloudy water. Tlie stream has uNe been tee muddy ler bass tli-hiug.

A HEARTLESS WRETCK. 1BA SI8FP REFUSES TO AIB JAMES W. BVBRLV, WH0 BRBWRED. Shetrin a Ileat at the Scene of thn Acci dent Heroic EfTurtH Made te Save the Yeung Man by Walter H. Neble. The Susquehanna river see ins te be keep ing step with the Conestoga In the way of drowning accidents, and each stream has had two oftheinsefarUilssuiimier. About four weeks age a young man w as drowned wlille bathing in the river near Cressw oil, and en last Saturday another lest his life In the same manner. The last victim of the waters was James William Hyerly, aged sev enteen years, son of Prof. A. R. llyerly, teichcr of languages at the State Nermal school at Millers Millers vllle. On Saturday young Jlyerly, his brother Paul, aged about la years, and Walter R. Neble. vvholsabeut the same agr as the elder Uyerly, went te tlie riv er ler the putpose of selecting a sultable place te encamp for a few days In the near future which they and sev oral ether young men intended te spend fishing. They leR home driving aftbr dinner and went te n place about threo miles above Safe Harber and a nille below Cressvv oll,near the lands or Iev I Mann. After cheesing a place for their camp they concluded te go in bathing be bo be fere going home. They stripped them them thom selves of their clothing and entered the river. Paul Ryerly remained along the bank of tlie stream. The ethor boys could swim well and went out furlher. After a time James Hyerly ventured out te a dis dis tance of probably tlilrty feet Irem the shore, wliore tlie water is about twenty feet In depth. He suddenly seemed te be grow ing vv oak, and he called te Neble, w he w as at the bank of the river, te help lilin. Neblo quickly hw am out and took held of him. lle saw that Hyerly was lu danger of drowning, but he held te him inaufully and called te a man, w hose iiauie vv as after vv ards found te beAdam ShefT, who was fish ing en a rock, but a short dlsUnee oil and had a beat, asking him te ceme te his assist ance. Slietr either refused te help him, or made no answer, for at any rate he did net move an Inch from the place he was stand ing. The younger Hyerly also called te the mau te help, but he paid no heed te him either. All the time the drown ing boy and Neblo wero struggling In the water and they succeeded in getting u little nearer te Iho shorn, but net out of the deep water. Neblo held te his companion as long as lie could and did net let go until he had been pulled under tlie w ater seme distance. He then feared that he would be drowned also and he loosened his held upon his friend, who sunk and was net seen again. Little Paul steed upon the shere unable te de anything and at ene time he thought both of them would surely drown. There Is no doubt that young Neblo worked like a hoie and he was covered with brulses received in the struggles that he had. Aftei it was certain that the young mau had drowned the ether boys gathered up hlsclothingandweiiltoMlllorsvillo.whero they gave the alarm. Thowbelo village was in a state of the gioatest excitement iu a few minutes and Noliie, with his brother Jehn, Harry Afllebach, Jehn I'lsher and olhero went te the river. They were unable te find the body, although they dragged the river at tlie place whero the accident occurred. Watchoiswero placed en guard, who remained ever night for the purpose of catching the body if It should rlse. All day Sunday theie wus a large crowd of peeple ut the place. A number of expert divers went te the bottom of the stream and many ether kinds et measures were reserted te te rocevor the body, but without success. Men have been placed en duty te wutch day and night for the body. At tlie place whero the drowning happened the stream Is net se swill and the water although decp Is net dangerous. Lew or devv n thore Is a small eddy and near the place thore are uiany rocks in tlie river in which the body may have ledged. Some think that it was curried devv u the stream seme distance A roertor of the Lnti m.kii.m'i it saw Walter Neblo en Sunday, and tlie boy see m ed te be feeling very badly ever the torrlble accident. He told his story in a plain, stralghtferw aid manner, giving the facts us related abo"e. At times he was Idled w ith emotion and could scarcely talk. He said that the boy was a dear friend of his and he did all in ills ewer te save his life. He has no doubt he w euld have been successful hud the mau w ith the beat ceme te his aid. The drowned boy was a very bright, intelligent lad and a favorite iu the village as well as in the Nermal school, which lie attended and wasa member of the beceud A class. He was quite a musician, tee, and was a member el Prof. Therbahn's orches tral school. He played the clarienet, aud recently appeired in a concert given in (his city. His fatlier aud mother wero terribly shocked when the sad news of their peer boy's oed was taken te thorn. What makes it much werse is the fact tint the body cannot be found. They hav e the sympathy of many warm friends lu their alllictlen. DEATH OP .MRS. MAItY STAUl'l'Elt. All Aucnt ami A Vel I Known Weman DIeh Suddenly Near .Milten Greve. Ei.UAiiKin iew.n, July 11.
