The linn of silk manufacturers who
are expected here to select the site
for the proposed new silk mill have
not yet arrived. There aro several
sites which the committee regards as
suitable. Slla.s H. Hills thinks the lot
on which his shop stands Is the most
available, for the following reasons:
First, on account or Its nearness to
street ear line; second, on account of
a sewer already built, leading under
Ontario and Western railroad to tho
river: third, because there is an abund
ance of good spring water coming from
under a strata of rock at least twenty
live feet thick; fourth, because of its
nearness to the Ontaiio und Western
railroad, where it is already graded
for a switch, where all tho goods to
and from the factory can be shipped or
jnloailetl. Fuel could also be dumped
right from the cars Into the tiro room,
thus saving the expenses of a team
ster, horses, wagons, etc. There 's
also plenty of room on ground and ov
erhead. Willi such advantages. Mr.
Hills ought to be able to Impress the
llrni to locate here.

Kdltor of The Tribune.
Sir: Tho contested election ot the
writer has, ot course, many advocates,
nnd many who favor the action 1 have
taken, both In Olyphant and other towns;
but there are some pcoplo who seem to
think It a wnste ot time and money, and
that the result Is not worth much, which
ever wins. To the people outside of Oly
phant It Is of very llttlo consequence,
but to the taxpayers here It Is of some
concern. Themfore to those who arc In
favor of the contest, and those who aro
against It, 1 wish to stato a few facts.
I received nothing llko Justice from the
election board on election day, and yet I
am convinced that I have a nice majority
of the votes cast, and that tho election
offlcers counted ballots for my opponent,
which should have been counted for me.
Tho manner In which tho board conduct
ed themselves during the count, leaves
no room to doubt their intentions. I be
lieve tho board deliberately counted me
out. Now, believing the abovo to bo cor
red, I was satisfied to accept a recount,
and submitted tho following proposition
to my opponent:
Anthony F, GUespie, Ksq., Olyphant, Pa.
Dear Sir: In order that the citizens of
Olyphant, and especially those of the
Third ward, may be fully satisfied that I
have done everything In my power to
avoid tho proposed test between us, and
that I do not wish to place any expenses
upon tho borough (they have enough now
to pay), If it can be avoided, and it can
bo avoided if you consider the proposi
tions I offer reasonable. A contest is to
be deplored at tiny time, but If nlX rea
sonable propositions fall, it is nil tint
Is left to be done.
Now I am perfectly satisfied to a re
count of the bnllotx, and will do every
thing possible to have It done. You know
that tho law will not allow the ballot
boxes to be opened, except In the usual
way, but by an agreement between the
contestants It can lie done. If you con
sent to the recount of the ballots, I will
promptly pay all expenses regardless of
tho result of the count. You know tho
correct count, and It you have 91 votes in
the First district and 3 In the Second, or
91 in tho ward, you have nothing to fear,
and ought to be willing to accept tho
above. In the Second district I received
3 and you 3 votes, yet I do not anticlpat
liny clinngo In the vote If it Is recounted,
although you claim a false count was
mado there.
If a recount of the ballots proves that
you have a majority, and that I have re
ceived credit for all the votes cast for
me, I willingly will apologize to the elec
tion officers, and will reimburse you for
tho expense I have caused you In retain
ing lawyers, car fare, etc., to the extent
of $100, Therefore If the result of tho
lecount proves that you aro elected you
have nothing to lose. Now this seems to
me to be very leascmable, us It gives all
the privileges you could expect, and re
lieves the borough from any cost, and ilie
voters from annoyance, and the court
from troubles which usually follow a con
test. If tho above Is not satisfactory to you,
then pleasrt make any kind of a proposi
tion which will immediately decide the
result
I hope you will alvo this mutter the
consideration It deserves The public will
be anxious to hear from you on tho above
proposition. Martin & Donovan nre niy
attorneys, whom you can consult and
offer any proposition In reference tn Iho
above. Very truly youis.
.1. A. Lennnn.
Th'1 above Is p!i.ln enough tn bo under
stood by tho tnpoycrs, and I hone It will
convlnco them that 1 have done every
thing In my power to avoid another bill
upon tho borough. This contest will cost
tho borough (at .v minimum ostlmute) $.V,
and I don't think thero Is a voter In the
town whose services uru worth $V) to
Iho borough as n councilman ; but a can
didate, has a right to have counted for
hltn all tho vote.! ho received. My oppo
nent would not accept the above propo
sition. 1 also had the following proposition
made In open court:
In re: Contested election of Anthony
F. Gillespie to the office ot member of
horiiKh council from iho Third wnid of
Olyphant. No. 372. April session, 1S93, In
the court of quarter esslons, Lacka
wanna county, Pennsylvania.
John T. Martin and C. C. Donovan,

Pllo Cure Will Cure Him; Give In
stant Relief.
.lust a llttlo jialu muy so distract n
Jiinn's life that It will cost hltn hun
dreds of dollnrs. Life Is a battle. To
succeed ono needs all his energies and
nil his brain force to apply to tho ques
tion at hand. Even a corn will make
him Irritable, cross, ungry and an nn
rcry man seldom succeeds. The trilling
puln of u corn Is a pleasant fooling be
sides the agonizing nchp of piles. Tliait
Is a pain which seems to pervade tho
whole body. It communicates Itself to
all parts near the Font of the trouble
und brings on a henvy dragging feel
ing In the perineum. Those who do not
so suffer do not know what It means.
It rocks the nerves, provi.nts sleep,
prevents concentrated thought nnd
makes n man lose llesh as fast as he
would with n violent fever.
And yet piles nre looked upon as a
little thing. They aro neglected al
lowed to run on from month to month
and from year .to year. By and by
comes a surgical operation. Maybe It
cures maybe It kills.
There Is only one sure, saf? and quick
cure for piles. It Is the Pyramid Pllo
Cure. It Is a recent discovery and Us
properties nre such that it clcnnscs,
soothes and heals the Inflamed parts,
reduces the Inflammation at once and
with continual treatment, removes nil
swelling and all trace of disease. It
puts the membranes in a heulthy active
condition and cures completely and
permanently.
From C. F. Collins, Gurnett: "I com
menced using the Pyramid Pile Cure,
but my casa was no bad that I was
afraid the remedy would fall, but be
fore I had used two-thirds of a pack
age I began to feel much better nnd I
can honestly say I am entirely cured.
It is the quickest and surest remedy
1 have heard of."
From Joslah Roberts, Port Oram, N.
J., "Just one-quarter of a package of
tho Pyramid Pile Cure did wonders for
me and I have lost no opportunity of
recommending such n wonderful rem
edy." From Wm. Mcllale, Rockport, Mass.,
"Oiie pack.ige of Pyramid Pile Cure
hns helped me more than anything I
have vet used."
