Since cur last issue, we were pained to
learn f the death of the lion. Mclehoir
!.s:-ard, one of the recently elected Asso
ciate .Judges for this county. We have been
ai-tpiiiinted with the Judge for many years
almost ever since our first comimr into the
i untv, some thirty years ago and we but
speak the tmthful dictates of our heart
when we sav that we have met none more
deserving the name of friend nor one pos
esHng a larger heart for his friends than
Mclehoir Uossard. In all the relations of
life ho wa.s a true man ; and it is no marvel
to us, who knew him so well, that when
time and opportunity offered, the people
wi re not slow to recognize his good qualities,
and bring them into position where they
-would be of general service. Thus he has,
on several occasions lieen placed in positions
oftru-t recently that of Sheriff of Monroe
omnry, an I but now elected to a position of
h"ii r and responsibility upon the bench.
Mr. ilos.-ard was well known throughout
rur county no one better. His personal
friends wore counted by thousands. It is
ii'it pre.-umed that he was without enemies
no true man can be but even these will
agree with us that for integrity and honesty
f purpose he was the peer of the best.
IT; wa.s also, well known throughout the
a !j 'ning counties, and." it is no small meed
i.i' praise to be able to say of him that where
over he was known, he was loved and re-.-pe.tcl.
and his death will Le learned with
regret.
To his f.-.mly we can truly say that the
s-ympathies of our entire community are
with fliL'iu in their "friction. May that (iod
wh.o temper-: the wind to the shorn lamb be
their comfort and shiy in this their day of
great tribulation.
Judge Do :ard, died at his residence, in
Hamilton township, on Friday morning la.-t.

t'--Zi (iKXKIIAL IiOUKKT AXDr.RSoX, who

;:-L7Ti:e ontrag2 committed by the Demo
cratic Kuturn Judges of Franklin and Cum-
1 ie.-!a ii
I counties, in refusing a certificate of
election to Senator Weakley, has miserably
failed of its purpose.. An application was
in vie by Mr. Weakley to the Supreme Court,
sitting at Pitt-burg, for a mandamus to com
pel the recreant Judges to perform their
d ity. and the necessary order was at once is
sued by Chief-Justice Thompson. The fol
lowing day II. G. Skiles, the lie turn Judge
representing Franklin county, signed and
published a certificate stating that Weakley
had been duly elected Senator by a majority
4)fb03 votes. From the statements in the
local papers there appears to be no doubt
that the Ileturu Judges acted iu accordance
with instructions from the Democratic mana
gers in Ilarri.-burg and Philadelphia, who
thus attempted to defeat the will of the peo
ple and to treat the election as if it had not
been held. The cour.se of the party leaders
in this matter is not calculated to strengthen
them in the two counties whose people they
thus .sought to defraud.
KfjTiiz difference of nearly six thou
nand between the majorities of Stanton and
Death, on the Jlepubliean State ticket, was
caused by the peculiar vote of Allegheny
county. A third party was formed in Pitt
burg and vicinity, voting for McCandless on
one ticket and Death on the other. Stantoi
was thus made to run considerably behind.
while Death is ahead to a corresponding ex
tent. Fortunately the aggregate majority in
the State is so large that this freak has
made no practical difference in the result.
jfctifTiiK Lepuuhcan members of the
Pennsylvania Senate have agreed upon
Senator William II .Ilutan of Deavcr county,
for Speaker next winter. For Speaker of the
House William Flliott of Philadelphia, will
doubtless be cho.-eu. There are many candi

Jolin 33ai iu Drublci. an old and
respected citizen of J'arrct township, died at
his residence on Sunday morning, 15th ult.,
aged bl years.
Mr. Deubler left his home iu Wurtemberg,
Germany, in 180, and with his wife and six
ehildred fettled iu Snuthhcld, not far from
Stroudsburg, wnerc he lived some lo years ;
moving thence to what was then called Cores-
viIle.inlMo. lie was twice marrieu aim leaves
11 children and a widow. JIc was an active
member of the Moravian Church; a hard
frugal, sober and strictly honest in all his deal
ings; ever exacting a strict compliance to all
business contracts, to the utmost, yet never re
fusing to mete the same measure he expected
to be measured to him again.
Mr. Deubler was a soldier under the firt
Napoleon, having been with him at Moscow, in
1S12, and had a vivid recollection of the
scenes connected with the evacuation of the
French army from that city, after it had been
fired by the order of the liu-sian Governor,
Kostochin and of the sufferings of f!ie army
in its memorable retreat from that frozen
country.
The funeral services were conducted by his
pastor, the llev. Mr. Xagle, of the Moravian
Flatz, who preached an able sermon, both in
German and Knglish, from Job 3, 17, There
the wicked cease from trout ling and the weary
are at rest ; the main points being :
1. A sen?e of safety.
2. Kest.
A singular coincidence is, that Mr. Deubler
and his first wife died on the same day and
month ; she died October 15th, 1852.

anticipation of another strike or suspension
of mining operations throughout the entire
coal regions of Pennsylvania, about the Js
of January. It is well known that that liar
monv of feeling, which should mark the
progress of our mining operations, does no
exist between the companies and their em
ployoos. The last suspension terminate iu
;l Y unsatisfactory manner, both to the
companies and the miners, from the fact
that both parties were compelled tosuccum
to a certain extent, lroin their origma
standpoint, llie ba.-is agreed upon at that

time was to hold good until the 1st of Jan
uary, ls72. Xow, the cause of this heavy
decline at the October sale, must be traced
to one of the following two reasons ; Kithc
the market must have become glutted, or
else it is a dodge on the part of the compa
nics, that they may have some shadow of an
excuse for reducing the wages of the miners
on or about the 1st of January. Our mer
chants, and but very few of our busiue.-
men generally have, as yet, recovered from
the evil effects of the last long suspension
and should another strike occur at this time
it would cast an impetus upon the futnr
growth and prosperity of Scranton, from
which all her mineral resources will neve
enable her to recover. A strike will certain
by be the inevitable result, if the companies
attempt a ml net ion of wages, and, if sue
i state of a fakirs should be brought about
the miners will have the sympathy of the
entire community, as long as they conduct

TIIK DEMOCRATS ATTEMPT TO RETAIN
CONTROL OP THE SENATE.
The Democratic return jades of the
XlXth Senate District (Franklin ami
Cumberland Counties) refuse to give a
certGcale of election to J M. Weakley,
who was choseu to the State Sonntc by a
majority of no less than 803 votes, on lhe
ground that his election was secured b-
bribery. The action of the judges bus
every appearance of being part of a con
s pi racy to retain the organization of the
Senate in Democratic hands. Tae ltcpnb
licaus have, by the election of Mr. Weak
ley in a district hitherto strongly Demo
cratic, a majority of one, but the Demo
crats have tiie Speaker, who holds over,
and, according to the custom for several
years past, presides, until a new Speaker
is elected.
Of courfe, if Mr. Weakley can be ex
eluded, it leaves the Senate tied. The

"K ,a " csfc Hanover township, about
three miles north of Uuion Depot, died a
year or two ago rather siJdenly, aud it
was given out that she had died from the
effects of cholera morbus.
Within a year or two thereafter,
Shatlncr married Misa Xuncy Good, who
was estimated to be worth three or four
thousand dollars. Iu Jane 1871, this
second wife died under similnr circuia
stances, and was buried. From certain
rumors it began to- be suspected that the
deaths occurred from the same en-use, ani
ruai us of foul play were soc-o aSoat.
The body of Xaucy Shafloer uas ex
humed in the latter part of Seytaeber;
the stomach and other Yiwrnt were take'i
out and scut to a celebrated chemist of
Philadelphia and a professor ia the
University of Pennsylvania at that place,
and six different tests, well known ti
scientific men for the discovery of pei
sonous substances, were applied, lie
made a report of the result of his examina
tion, which uus sei; to the district at
torney. From it it appears conclusively that
aiscuic had been used, and that the
woman died fiou its crfecls. Oa the
steugth of these facts, Martin Good, a
nevhew of the deceased wife made in
formation charging Faianual ShafTaer
with administering the poison, from the
effects of which the said Xaney Shafhicr
died. Lieutenant of Police lloopes ar
rested tl e defendent yesterday morning,
conveyed 'Jiim to this city, aud he was
committed to prison to await a hearing
t is stated that a woman resided iu the
family of ShafFucr, while bis second will-
was living, who was married- to a man
named Shu ilook or Skillock, empolyed al
the Pennsylvania Steel Works at JJalJwiu,
who xi.-ited her every week or two, and
remained over Sabbath : that during one
of his visits iu February last he was taken
suddenly sick, aud after vomiting freely
he died.
coroner's jury was empanelled, th?
body being fuily identified, and some
evidence taken, but the impicst adjourn
ed to await the result of the examination
of the stomach and viscera, which will le
sent to Philadelphia for examination.
From the circumstances of these deaths
it :s supposed that they were caused by
the same party and hy the sams means.
Riot at the Belleville, N. J., Laundry-
Chinese School Children AttacKel
by Irish Laborers.
Much of the antipathy evinced on the
introduction of Chinese labor iuto Cap-
taiu Hervcy's steam lundry, at UellveiHc,
lias been overcome, but a number of in
laborers engaged on the Midland railway
have manifested a dogged antagonism
which has, from time to time, thresteecd
an outbreak. The lundry is on the Ber
gen side of the river, aud until recently
the Chinamen have regularly gone tja"
evening school on the opposite side; hut
owing to the demonstrations of the Irish
laborers, Captain Hervey has deeaicJ it
advisable to restrict lhe attendauce to cn3
evening a week. A number of them were
returning from schcol ou Sunday evcuin?
when, as they were crossing the bridge,
a volley of missiles were hurled at theft
Several of the boys iu the party wers
struck, and oue was dangerously weundd
in the eye. The assault was quickly re
sented, and those of the Chinese who car
ried revolvers a precaution reuderea
necessary by the aggressions of the Ins11
discharged their weapons, intending
frighten their assailauts. The ruse k1
the dosired result, causing a stamped'-',
aud arousing the villiagers, who fenreJ
that the threats of the laborers to destroy
tho lundry had been carried into ecCl"
Pursuit was given aud uue of the rioter
was locked up iu tho Hackcnsack jail-"
Threats were made that within twenty
four hours Capt. llervey's house fihouw
be iu ashes ii harm should befall the im
prisoned rioter. The wouuded boy 11
probably recover. The residents of l"e"
ville reseut the action of the laborers uo
lualilidely, and are determined to leQ
Captain Hervey assistance.
