Address all communications to THE INTfiLLIGENCGIt, DANVILI.E, I*A. ME. WOLVERTON F k OR GOVERNOR. A HINT has reached us that some of the surrounding counties have brou diseasing the uaiue of Hon. Simon i'. Wolverton, of Sunbury, as a popular candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for Governor. It is claimed that state leader, Col. Jas. M. Guffey, while he has not com mitted himself one way or the other, said that "Mr. Wolverton might be named." The Intelligencer speaks for Mon tour's Democrats, and adds many of the better class of Republicans, when it says that no other man would re ceive a stronger vote than would our friend, Mr. Wolverton. Mr. Wolverton is an attorney of State reputation and in public service has had a very successful and inter esting career. He is very well known in this section and his popularity is surrounded by many staunch friends, regardless of polities. He is a veteran of the Civil War, having raised a company of emergency men in 1862, of which lie was cap tain, and served in.the 18th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. In 18(i.'i he was chosen captain of Company F, 36th Regiment, under the call of Governor Curtain for 00 days' men to resist Lee's invasion of this State. In 1876 he was elected to the State Senate, and releeted in 1880 ami 1884. -lie was elected to serve his district in Congress for two terms. In 1887 he was nominated by the Demo crats of both*branches of the Legisla ture as the candidate for United States Senator. At the time of the death of Supreme Court Justice Wil liams, Mr. Wotvcrton was tendered an appointment to the vacancy by Governor Stone, but declined it. —THE Republicans seem to be cut ting the gang loose. Neither Senator Boies Penrose nor the old gang bosses will be delegates to the State Repub lican Convention, as the delegation will be composed of men of extraor dinarily high standing, in marked contrast to others that have gone to Harrisbu rg. —Tniscis are never so had that they couldn't be worse. Even the political grafters whose business seems to have gone to pot since the last election may be able to (jnd consola tion in the fact that there are still some hen roosts in the country that are not under lock and key. —JuixiE ENDLICH, of Berks county, has just handed down an opin ion in which he declares that suckers are not game fish. Of course this applies only to the piscatorial tribe because every one knows that the other kind of suckers are anything but game. —TIIE spring election is scarcely six weeks off and very little talk of candidates has been heard tip to this time. It may be possible that there is more thinking than talking being done. You know a clear, cool think ing public can accomplish much. — IF repoits are true, we must give Penrose some credit for getting a lit tle of his till other than through gratt or direct robbery. Rumor says that the Senator made a quarter of a mil lion through a copper investment. —THE farmers of the country have been feeling mighty rich since they read Secretary Wilson's annual re port, and as for the great American hen—she hasn't done a thing but cackle. —SIB OLIVER LODOE announces that it will be 20,000,000 years be fore the sur becomes cold. The ice man will, therefore, resume his busi ness in the spring. Bloomsburger an Italian Mayor. Joseph Ratti, treasurer anil founder of Bloomsburg silk mill, was recently highly honored by the citizens of Rogeno, Italy, of which place ho is a native. During a visit to Italy he was unanimously elected Mayor of Rogeno as a testimonial of high esteem. Mr. Ratti is building at Rogouo, at great expense, a kindergarten which' will afford educational facilities for 200 boys. The Joseph Ratti Hospital at Blooms burg is another of his charities. Last spring ho purchased a building,and af ter equipping it with all modern con veniences for a hospital, endowed it for the benefit of the residents of Bloomsburg and vicinity. The Hospit al is now in charge of five Sisters of Mercy, from Wilkes-Barre, who arriv ed Saturday to begin their work at Bloomsburg. One of the Sisters is a graduate pharmacist, and will com pound the medicines used at the in stitution. Mr. Ratti now divides his time be tween his splendid residence at Rog eno and the one in Bloomsburg, spend ing six months of the year at each placo. His estate at Rogono compares favorably with any found in Italy. He is a self-made American citizen, and besides being treasurer of the Blooms burg silk mill, is a director of the na tional banks at that place. Baby Is Record Breaker.

Wery respected, JOHN LAUTERHOX. FRANCIS WANTS NEW TRIAL, j Sixty-seven Separate Reasons to be Advanced by Attorneys. A now trial for Stanley Francis, I ho { promoter of the Storey Cotton Com pany, was asked by his attorneys, Henry J. Scott ami J. Joseph .Murphy before Judge Holland in tlie United States District Court, In the petition there are G7 separate reasons cited why the convicted man should have a new trail. In speaking of the proposed appli cation for a new trial United States District Attorney Thompson said yes terday:"l do not think the applica lion will be considered favorably by ihe Judge. Francis is getting his de serts, and we are only sorry we are not able to meet out justice to the rest of the Storey Cotton people. Ii using fh • mails to defraud were only an extraditable offense we would have had Latiiuere some mouths ago, as the postal inspectors have lo ated him almost since he lied, and some of the others, who are sojourning in 13tirope. We may bring Latiinere to trial yet, for he seems to be in a fair way of being brought to Philadelphia to answer an indictment of embezzle ment found by the Grand Jury here. If he is extradited, tried and found guilty on that charge we can then try him on the charge of using the mail 4 to defraud." COLLEGE OF MUSIC.

Washington, Jan. 7 —Representa tive McCall, Republican of Massachu-I ! setts, wants the President to be ab ! solutelv independent of the railroads and not to b.i put to the necessity of accepting their favors or paying for trausp i ta ion out of his own pocket.
