Who is Wimmer? is the question
now eagerly asked by tho citizens oi
Elk County. Brandon of the Gazette
in his last issue has throw sonio light
upon the subject, by saying that he
(Wimmer) is a high minded honorable
gentleman. We had always heard him
spoken of as high minded, and now as
Brandon says so it will not be denied.
Brandon also says that this campaign is
to decide some vital questions such as to
electa United States Senator, ho should
also have added for the benefit of the
voters of Elk county, if not for Mr.
Wimmer, that a bill for the equalization
of freights will bo before the house, this
commiog winter, which we think of far
more importance to the people of Elk
county. This, however, does not answe1'
the question asked.
Until the present campaign, Mr
Wimmer, beard of only as in the capac
ity of agent and engineer foi the Penn
sylvania Rail Road company, aui as
such we must regard him, notwithstand
ing his denial. We can therefore, only
aecept him as a man imported by tho
Rail Road monopoly to gain strength for
them, and to further advance their inter
ests at the peril of the citizens whom he
expects to support him.
In the language of the Gazette "it
behooves the citizens of Elk County not
to follow personal inclinations" but vote
for the man whom, they well know, if
elected will advance the interest of Elk
County and its citizens and not of
monopolists.
Challenging Voters. Under the
e'eotion law when a vote is challenged
the examination of the right of the per
son to vote must be made publicly and
acted on by the election board. To do
it w!th closed doors, as has been the
c.se heretofore sometimes, is unlawful.
Qualified citizens of the election distiicl
only have the right to chplleoge.

Raising Tbout. The Eiie Dipa tch say
that Mr. L. B.Hoffmin of this place has
constructed four trout ponds at Ludlow
station, on the line of the P. & . R. R,,
eighty-five miles east of that oily, and U
pushing the business of trout raising with
encouraging success. One of the ponds is
reserved for young trout hatched from the
spawn, and the others contain those fit for
the table. Among them are about 3,500
which are from four to thirteen inches in
length each, and about 800 of an average
weight of three' quarters of a pound each.
A hatching house, 20x70 stories high, is
nearly completed. The ponds and house
occupy about three acres and the whele is
'o be enclosed by a picket fence sixteen
feet high and the ground is being set out
with young maples. The estimated cost of
all is $5,000 and if the venture proves to
be a paying one, it will be increased
largely.

Petrolia, Ootober 12, 1874. Another
large strike was made yesterday on the
Purkjr Farm, a short distance from the
one which was made on Friday.
The well is called the "Cuinmings well,"
and is reported to be flowing from one
thousand to fifteen hundred barrels per
day.
The striking of Ibis well has caused coa
siderable excitement in the immediate
vicinity.
The struggle which has been going
on for several days at Washington over
the appointment of Chief of the Secret
Service, is reported to have been settled
by the seolection of Mr. Washburn, of
Chicago. Many were of tho opinion
that Mr. Benson, of this State, was the
best man for the place, and he was
strongly backed, but it seems that
greater influences were at work iu behalf
of the Western man. Tho position is a
very important one, requiring good judg
ment, great shrowdness and prompt
action, and now that the counterfeiters
ore more active than ever, it is hoped
that the new chief will proceed to work
with energy aud bring some of tho ras
cals to justico without delay. Gazette
