m Harrisburg,
kins county jail yesterday morning
by Mrs, Fred Tucker, who lives
about nine miles from Ithaca on
the Mecklenburg road, and who
stated positively that he was the
man who ate breakfast at her home
on Monday morning between eight
and nine o'clock, Clarence Ely,
one of the men under arrest charg-
ed with stealing $1,195 from the
Lehigh Valley station at Ithaca,
broke down and confessed He
then agreed to accompany the of~
ficers and detectives to Watkins
and show them where he had con
cealed the money.
Several other women who lived
near the home ol Mrs. Tucker
identified Ely as th: maa who
passed along the road on Monday
morning. Sooa after being identi-
fied by Mrs. Tucker he lost the air
of selfsassurance and coafidence
that he has assumed since his ar-
rest.
Bryant, the operator who was on
duty at the time the theft occur-
red, was released on $2,000 bail
yesterday. It is not believed now
now that he was implicated in the
robbery, Itis expected that the
officers of the company will recov~
er all but $100 of the stolen mon-
ey.
The quick work of the officers
Ithaca and the company detectives
is to be commended. They had
their man - under arrest within a
few hours after the discovery of
the robbery,
HEADON COLLISION
OF FREIGHT TRAINS
Several Cars Were Derailed but
Fortunately No One Was In-
jured
A headon collision on the Le-
high Valley railroad on Thursday
evening between two freight trains,
resulted in the destruction of sever-
al freight cars, but fortunately no
lives were lost. The freight which
leaves Elmira at 7 o'clock had
reached VanEtten and was switch-
ing cars on the siding when the
freight which passes through Ithaca
from Cortland crashed into it, Sev-
eral cars oa both trains were de-
railed and the engineer and firemen
on both locomotives were badly
shaken up. .

Hopes to Recover Stolen Money
Through the Assistance of a
Sorceress
This morning Joe Beniat, acs
companied by several Hungarians,
left on Lehigh train No 8 for the
city of Wilkes-Barre, Benint is
the man who had a trunk stolen
from his home about three weeks
ago. The trunk contained about
$675 in money, besides a quantity
of women’s and children’s clothing,
The next day after the robbery
Chief of Police Walsh found the
trunk on the banks of the Susque-
hanna river, near the new bridge
It bad been broken open, the cloths
ing was scattered on the ground,
but no trace of the missing money
was found.
Since the robbery Benint has
made all kinds of cfiorts, with the
assistance of the police, to get trace
of the thieves, but without satis-
factory results, Recently, how-
ever, Benint resolved to try an-
other method, and this morning
he went to Wilkes-Barre to con-
sult a fortune teller of that city,
The sorceress is said to have been
highly successful in handing out
information of this character and
when Joe left the station this
morning he was confident that af-
ter he has consulted the fortune
teller it will only be a matter of a
few days when he will recover his
money. Of course it will be an
easy malter for the fortune teller to
give accurate information as to the
location of the money. In fact the
information that Joe will receive
from her will be as useful to him
as larrow cow.
AMMUNITION SUPPLY
IS EXHAUSTED
This morning Coleman Hassler,
the well known councilman from
the secoad ward, and John Gums
bert left on Lehigh train No. 8 for
Wyalusing, Previous to starting,
Councilman Hassler visited the
various business places where am-
munition is sold and depleted the
stock, so that it is said that there is
not an ounce of shot or powder in
the town at the present writing,
When Hassler and Gumbert reach
Wyalusing they will at once take
to the tall timber in that region of
Bradford county known as Lime
Hill 2. Itis expected that when
they return this evening they will
be laden with gray squirrels in
great numbers, provided they can
escape the diligence of the game
wardens.

POLITICAL BRIEFS
Mial Lilley will “receive the unquali-
fied support of the corrupt Republican
machine, Under the cover of President
Roosevelt's request to vote for Repabli-
can congressmen the machine will insist
that Lilley is logleally entitled to Re-
publican votes. The voter, however,
will not ba deceived. The voter knows
that if his ballot is cast for Lilley it is
simply a ballot for the perpetuity of a
rascally political organization which
has mado the state of Pennsylvania an
object of contempt.
The Recurd believes that the interests
of the people of this county will be best
subserved by electing George W. Kipp
to congress. Mr. Kipp is a thorough
business map, a man of undoubted in-
tegrity, acd can be implicitly relied
upon to keep his pladges he makes in
his letter of acceptance,
The Record urges its readers to care-
fally peruse the letter of George W,
Kipp, aceepting the nomination for ccn-
gress in this distriet. It is a document |
which has the true riag, and which has | |
already oreated consternation In the |

Crack of Machine Whip Last
the Same Opinion Still
Notwithstanding the boasts of Lilley's
supporters that their master can whip
the people of Sayre and Athens back
{nto line whenever ha gets at it, it is
very evident that the great boss himself
and his small staff of friends are greatly
worried at the situation in this part of
Bradford county. Mial has been spend-
ing the major portion of his time ia this
vicinity daring the last week or so in
the endeavor to re-establish his old-time
strength. Bat the effort has proved as
fatile ax the desire was vain. It is true
that he has won over a few wavering
spirits and added to his force an Indi-
vidaal or two whom his oppogenis are
secretly rejoiced to see on the other
side— for then they know just where to
place them». But al the same time a
quiet defection from the ranks of the
men who have hitherto rolled up the old
time party vote has been going one The
people of the City of the Plains have at
Iast found Mial oat, and they are deter-
mined that they will no longer be used
as tools of the big boss. They are tired
of palling chestnuts out of the fire for
him, and declare that heraafter thoy wil
take no orders from anyone, but will
vote as they see fit. The peopleol Sayre,
Athens and South Waverly form one of
the most progressive, intelligent and
self-respecting communities in the state,
and it is unworthy of thelr high stand-
ing to do the bidding of Boss Lilley, or
any other boss.
As a matter of fact, the people of the
and the whole state—are throwing off
the yoke of bossism. The movement is
ore that every citizen should support
heartily without reference to any pre-
vious condition of party servitade into
which he may have been drawn. The
man in this county who boasts that Le
always votes the straight Republican
ticket is becoming a decided curiosity.
Just for example, how can the Republie-
ans of Athens township consistently ad-
vance any such claim when, at the last
elestion, the Democratic candidate for
sheriff received a unanimous vote in
that district 7 Look at the magnifl-
cent vote this same candidate rve-
ceived in Bayre and Athens! The
Republican candidate for the
shrievalty possessed every attribule
that makes a man a good citizen, yet he
was overwhelmingly defeated. Consider
the resalt of tho Republican primaries
that preceded the last election. Hon, L.
T. Hoyt, one of the members of the Leg-
islature who, In accordance with
the unwritten law of Bradford county
Republicanism should have been re-
nominated for the second term,—a young
man of great ability, considerable at-
taloments and wide acquaintance, de.
feated by a veritable avalanche of bal-
lots | The machine adherents professed
to ask the reason for Mr. Hoyt's defeat,
but deep down in their hearts they
knew before the thought found audible
expressicn. Mr. Hoyt failed of renomi-
pation because he was backed by the
boss, and the same reason accounted for
Mr. Coddiog's defeat. Resentment
against the state machine took the form
of a majority in this county for Berry,
Democratic candidate for state treas-
urer. With this independence in voting
before one, how can it be argued that
the end of Lilleyism and machine rule is
not in sight ? And what folly for the
boss to have exclaimed to a newspaper
man at Bayre a few days ago, “Tell your
people that I'll skin 'em to the queen's
taste |”
The blind worship of party name is
largely responsible for the reign of boss-
ism throughout thes whole country.
Apd yet the boss is without party
principle. His only motive is self-Inter-
est, pure and simple, and he merely uses
the party name as an auxiliary toward
accomplishing his own selfish purposes.
The party flag is waved to inflame the
prejudice of the voter and render him
oblivious to the promptings of sober
second thought. Bat no matter bow vig-
orously the banner may be flaunted in
the face of the party man, no matter
how imperiously the dictator may com-
mand him to bow down to the party idol,
the time will come when this party wan
will rend the banner and destroy not
only the idol but the one who has ruled
him. 1t is this spirit that has reduced
the one-time Republican majority of
Bradford county from 5,000 to the point
where it is often a very doubtfal quan-
tity, and occasionally a minus quantity.
The Record believes that there are
just as many Republicacs in Bradford
county today as there were twenty
years ago, bat their feelings have been
80 outraged by bossism, as exemplified
in Lilleylsm, that they do not blindly
follow the party flag as they once did
It is evident that the people are waking
up to this fact, and it ix no wonder that
the boss Is worried, for his sole hope of
success lies in the old, old Bppe: al to
party prejodice. We say all honor to
the people of this county for their revolt
Baaingt demagogism, and all honor to
® voter everywhere who has the cour-
o 30 seloot his own candidates without
tation from any boss !
