•THE beet thing yet accomplished by
th<? fcgbt aj?ainst Quay and Qnayism at
Harrisburg has been the uncovering of
some of the secret politics. For in
stance. that Chas. W. Stone, Rep. was
defeated for Congress in his district, by
a combination of the Qnay and Stand
ard Oil Co. forces was known to a few,
but since the fight began it has been
demonstrated to all.
The unpleasant feature of the fight,
however, has been the failure of the ,
Independent Republicans to unite on a
man.
They seem to be held apart by some
sinister influence that bodes no good to
the State.

Tlie Grossiitm; Silver Wedding'.
On Monday evening March 6, the
home of Mr. and Mrs. N. S. Grossman,
who live one mile southeast of Prospect,
was the scene of a very pleasant sur
prise party, being a celebration of the
25th marriage anniversary of Mr. and
Mrs. N. S. Grossman. On March sth,
1874, Mr. Nathaniel Grossman and Miss
Mary Kennedy were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony and took upon
themselves the grave and responsible
duties of founding a hopaa. which has
been a blessing to the community, the
state, yea the nation, find which has
been abundantly blessed with peace,
goodwill, sweet influences, health and
abundance of this world's goods. Their
sons, Curtis and Robert- -Jhe only chil
bren —conceived the commendable idea
of arranging a surprise party for their
parents, and on Monday evening, March
0, (the sth being on Sunday) the perfec
tion (tl fljeir plans was attested by the
success of th£ meeting. The weather
and roads were simply hoiribl?. yet the
following guests managed to get there
somehow:
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Wahl and s. n
Clyde, and Mrs. Jennie Roth, of Evans
City; Rev. Sloan, Mr. and Mrs. M. T,
MeCandless, Mr- and Mrs. O. W.
Stoughton, Mr. and Mrs, J W- Shaffer.
Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Shaffer and son
Paul, Mr. and Mrs. J. If. McClnre, Mr.
and Mrs. T. J. Cliritchlow, Mr and
Mrs.. S E Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. A.
Bowers Mr. and Mrs J. H. Barr, Mr.
and Mrs E. L. Pyte, Mu G P. Weigle,
Mrs. L. K. Lepley, Mr. John Says, end
Robert Kennedy, who is the father of
Mrs. Grossman, and a highly respected
citizen of this community.
To say that the evening was pleasant
ly spont and highly enjoyed by all is
full'y attested by everyone present.
Each one seemed tii Jje ' n bis best
humor and was bent on having a most
enjoyable time, and no one took advan
tage of the occasion to introduce any
other subject. The good wives who are
known far and wide for their excellent
cooking attainments provided a supper
that would be a drawing card at the
famous Delmonico'g.
Mr. John Hays entertained the guests
with his highly appreciated grauio
phone, which added much to the enjoy
ment of the evening. Rev. Sloan made
an address, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Gross
man many happy returns of the sth of
March, and in behalf of them, thankjd
those present for the honor and kind
regards, which hail bt.cn given thern.
One of the plesisant incidents of the oc
casion was the presence of so many that
had been at the infair twenty five years
ago.
Tbe enjoyments, the sociability, and
pleasure of the evening were terminat
el by the rem!# ingot psalm and
the Lord's Prayer on the gramepuono,
as spoken by Talmage.
The guests departed for home, hop
ing that they may all be spared to meet
there again to assist in celebrating Mr.
and Mrs, Grossnjan's golden wedding.
Tbe happy couple received Kiany valua
ble and handsome and useful p're«ruu>,
as tokens of remembrance and friend-
Uhip.
Curtis end Robert are surely Jp be
congratulated upon the success of thier
honorable undertaking.

Obituary Notes.
MRS. KESSELMAN
The great number of our citizens
who attended the funeral services, last
Sunday over the remsins of Mrs. Wil
liam Kessleman, attested the high es
teem and respect in which that lady
was held. To all who knew her this
respect to her character was deemed
most worthy Mrs. Kesselman was a
truly good woman in all the walks of
life, and hence the tribute paid her
memory. Her bereaved husband and
family have the sympathy of all. Her
remains were laid to Best in the Eng
lish Lutheran Church Burial Ground,
South Cemetery. The funeral services
were conducted by the Rev. D. L. Roth
of that church.
Some Bribery Notes, Etc.
On last Wednesday night the investi
gating committee met again, examined
thrut- njore witnesses. Representatives
Johnson, Miller af..i H«il. yT Northamp
ton county. These gentlemen went on
the stand and testified that they had
been taken to Coyle's room In the Lochiel
hotel and offered money to sign a paper,
purportlps to he an agreement to stand
by George A. Jenke iu thp end All of
these gentlemen nre Democrats. After
wards Representative Charles R. Spatz,
of Berks county, took two of them. Mil
ler and Johnson, to one side and offered
them first SSO and then SIOO if they
would sign the agreement. In talking to
them about this Coyle. who is n Repub
lican and H Quay lobbyist, told these men
that if they would sign the agreement
there were n lot of bills to come up dur
ing the legislature, in which he would
"let them in" and they could make more
money that way than they could by theii
salaries."
To understand why Spatz and Coyle
should ask to sign an agree
ment and offer them SSO or SIOO to do so
to support Hon. George A. Jenks. for
whom they were then voting, it must be
understood that It was about this time
that there was considerable talk of a
fuslort between the anti-Quay Republi
cans and Democrats, whtrcby they were
to agree on some independent Republi
can to succeed Quay. This report drove
the Quay lieutenants half crazy and they
immediately began to beg Democrats to
vote for Jenks and thus prevent a coa
litiftb. B»>at* was one of the most vigor
ous workers in this cuus*.
On Thursday night last the witnesses
from Northampton county. Miller and
Johnson, were put on the stand and their
evidence strengthened their testimony of
the night before. Miller produced a niern
£,ra«din.> hook, in which he had made an
entry the day nfiur in** offer >,f cash by
Spatz and Coyle. and he read this entry
before the committee. These witnesses
niso stated that »— -
! M,■ count!-.. W as " rrß ;
out when this paper was ocmK passed
around in Spatz's mid Coylo s rooms at
the Lochiel hotel. That Rosenberry had
Mild to il;..i>i thnt they hud l.etter not
sign the agreement because "jhere might
be money tn it for them,"
On Thursday night Rosenberry went
voluntarily before the committee and
made a statement, in which he denied
that he had said there was "money" in
It. He said that he had advised the mem
ben, no* ii, s:st ; the agreement because
be had refused to sign a Ljjnself and he
believed that there might be something
wrong about It.
A GREAT WORK.
It was the greatest week's work ever
done by investigating committee in
the history of tlie legislate. T^ p reveln
tions of attempted bribery have strucK
the Quay machine a terrific blow, from
jrhich it can never recover. It is going
down iu u heap. There is every indica
tion that the machine is conning short of
cash and that it will shortly go out of
business.
AH for the senatorial situation, it has
remained unchnuged. There have been no
i more desertions from the Quay column,
but it is understood that the coming
week will witness something iu that na
ture. The defeat of Senator Quay is now
i an absolute fact, and In private conver
sation among intimate friends it is nn
i derstood that h« l.»a stated that he sees
no hope for himself.
The tight against the Quay machine Is
• to be carried to the bitter end. State
Senator Flinn is a candidate for state
chairman and this presages the bitterest
• kind ul a fight it! erery county in the
state. The Quay machine is to he elimj
■ nated root and branch, and all of the
t hangers-on, who have beeu making
• money out of the state treasury and
i filching money from the people, will have
! lo go t<; work and earn their money
honesty.
i Tbe mystery that has surrounded t£s
i postponement of the Quay trial in Phila
delphia has been pretty well cleared up.
District Attorney Rotliermel acted for
the best interests of the commonwealth
t ivjion he reftis-ed to go on with the trial.
Evidence is i„>t that *he jury
[ panel had been tampered with, ff indeed
it had not been drawn iu a manner con
trary to law. This is generally under
stood now to be the case and the men
I who were bitterest against District At
! torney Itotheruiei f..r his action arc now
complimenting him. Under the circum
stances to have gone ahead with the ense
would have been disastrous to the Inter
ests of the commonwealth.
On Tuesday night last the Democratic
anil anti-Quay Republican majority in
lhe bouse met, with Mr. Bliss in the
fiiair. Una adopted i; dignified resolution
against the unjust and arbitrary action
• of Speaker Farr on last Friday. Further
action was postponed for tlie present. If
Mr. Farr ever attempts any such move
ment again he will be compelled to va
cate the chair permanently.
