The platform adopted by the Re publican State convention is one that cannot but meet the approval of right thinking and progressive peo ple. Tlie endorsement of tho ad ministration of President Harrison and Governor Beaver will be ap proved by everyone, whi'e tho de claration in favor of a high protec tive tariff shows the party 1o have the best interests of the State at heart. The industries of the great; State of Pennsylvania want and de mand protection. Therccommenda- ; tion of such amendments to the ! pension laws as will make provision ' for the veterans of the late war shows the regard the party lias for the men who saved the nation when men were most needed, in view of the overwhelming defeat of the pro hibitory amendment—in the sub mission of which the party 'fulfilled its compact with the Prohibitionists j —the endorsement of the Brooks High License law as the best means 1 ol restricting the liquor traffic J should meet the views of the Pro- i liibitionists and satisfy them. The j recommendation that the next Leg islature take constitutional action to j provide permanent relief for tho sufferers at Johnstown and other ! sections of the State will meet the entire approbation of all, irrespec-! tive of party, while the expression of regret at the loss of General Sim on Cameron is a tribute worthy the great man whom it emulates Rule. Henry Kline Boyer who was nom inated for (State Treasurer by the Republican State Convention was born in Evansburg, Montgomery county, seven miles northwest of ( Norristown, on November 10th, 1850. j Ilis father, Ephriam D. Boyer, and his mother, Rebecca Kline, are liv-1 ing. They are decendants of Penn sylvania Germans. During tne winter i of 1866 and 1567 he taught public j schools in his native county, and in ' February of the next year he be- ! came a teacher of the English! branches in an academy in Tioga, Philadelphia. In the fall of 18G8 he taught school at Whitemarsh, and shortly afterwards became a teacher in the Twenty-third ward Philadel phia. Thence ho went to Camden, N. J , in the fall of 1809, and in his twentieth year, was principal of Lhe Kaighn's Point Boys' Crammer School, which position lie held for three years. He resigned ittostudy law under the late Benjamin Harris Brewster. He was admitted to the Philadelphia Bar in 1874. His prac tice has been almost exclusively in the ci|iralcil tn ilit- Supremo Court Mills tun 'Sali«» a Xpracli. PukvlS, -Miss., Aug. ]7.—Judge CalhOun having made remarks for clemency, there was a painful anxie ty to learn what the sentence would be. The silence -was broken by the defendant Sullivan himse'fj who rose in stately grandeur and ad .dressed the Court as follows: I "Your Honor I desire to make a j few remarks. I can only ask your I clemency in the matter. No doubt . I have done something, but, as my j conns >1 told you, 1 was ignorant of the law. I am not as oratoricallv < xpert as the distinguished District 'Attorney, or as my counsel on my right, who have addressed you. and therefore beg to remain your hum ble-servant.. John L. Sullivan." Then lie took his seat. At this I action atid appeal by the defendant the excitement became more intense. The Judge seemed iotli to relieve the anxious suspense, for he s;it. a long time contemplating the matter before him. The tension of feeling at this stage was strong until at length it, was relieved by the Judge, who proceeded to say: THE SENTENCE. ' Gentlemen, passing sentence has always been of considerable trouble and concern to me even in small cases, except where the law has one absolute punishment. It seems to me that the prize fight at Richburir. of which this defendant stands con victed, was a gross affront to the laws of the State whose authorities personally forbade it.it seems to have been accomplished withsvstema tic and in the pres ence of invited thousands. It seems on the part of all concerned to have been a studied disregard and con tempt of the law. They came from and through many States whose authorities and civilization deterred them from any attempt at such pub lic lawless conduct within their limits, and they chose the soil of Mississippi as the only tit ground for such a combat, indicating their utter contempt I'or the sentiments of the people and the laws of the statute books. Stand up, .Mr. Sulli van. Sullivan arose. The sentence of the law is that for and as punishment of tho ot'tVnse of which you stand convicted you shall suffer imprisonment for twelve! month in the county jail. uriW'r til 'B'uiibliuiißock. A fatal affray occured in town on j Monday last between Jessie Phelps, j of this place, and Win. Root, of Eaton, resulting in the death of the i latter; tho particulars of which are j as follows, as near as we could get ' them. It seems both men had been ! drinking, but l!oot was said to be ! most under the influence ofliquor at j the time of the rencontre, which oc-j cured at about half past seven p. in., in the alley leading to S. D. Steven's barn or down at the side of the barn. Mr. Hoot and another young man were in a one horse wagon of Mr, Root's preparatory to starting j 'or home, when Mr. Phelps came i up to the wagon and with many 1 harsh epithets and oaths challenged j Mr. Be>ot to get out of his wacron ; »■ I and fight him. Not getting out,! upon such urgent invitation, Mr. Phelps got hold of him and pulled him out, Mr. Hoot's feet becoming tangled in the lines meanwhile and j nearly, if not quite, throwing him I down. Upon regaining his feet lie walked around to one side of the wagon and picked up a wrench with which lie either threw at or en deavored to strike his antagonist. At all events the instrument slipped from iiis hands and did not hit Mr. Phelps. Then lhe two men came to blows. .Mr. P. hitting liis antagon ist several times in his face, fore head and neck, some of which blows were, in tlie opinion of the inquest, 'sufficient to cause death, the verdict of which is given below: •' l'he jurors say upon their oaths that Jesse I'helps, not in his sober j better senses, on the 12th day of! August, A. D. 1889, at the hour of' j o'clock in the afternoon, with ' j force, at the lioro of Tuukhannock..' j in and upon the aforesaid Win. H00t,,! | then and there being in the peace ol I i God and the Commonwealth, feloni ously. violently and of his malice I | aforethought made an assult; audi the aforesaid .(esse Phelps then and j there did violently strike, beat, | feloniously, voluntairly, and of his i j malice, struck, beat in face, neck and i | head, the said Win. Hoot, who in-! -tantly died then and there by such • | beating, together with other "eausosj not known to this inquisition. And jwe may add we have grave doubts! las to the malicious intentions of the! | said Jesse Phelps upon the. life of! :-aid \\ m. lioot."— Wyuniihy JJono frat. Contrnrf for I'ohtnl C ards.

The lire had got under such headway, before discovered tuat it was im possible to save the building. It is supposed to have caught fire from a stove-pipe in the kitchen. An organ, a sewing machine, one bed and a few articles of clothing Were about all that were saved. A number of beds mid bedding belonging to C. B.

Charley l> Wheately of this place met with quite a serious accident on Aug. 7th, while at work at Long Valley, Bradford county, in the woods, which was the same day that his father's house burned, he was ] choping when a limb ft ll striking j him on the head, making a severe t ..." scalp wound also injuring one arm j and one side of his person, lie is j getting along finely, and it is almost! a mericle that ho was not killed. Charley is a respected and indus- ' trious yt>ung man, and his many j friends will be pleased to learn that lie will soon lie able to attend to business again. W. SOSES TO II 'X ITEMS.
