D.'wns removed from the Finch homestead to the neat little dwelling of P. D. Millers, on Muncy St., last week. They are still finding dead bodies :it Johnstown, although over our months have ('lapsed sine the great catnstrop'icr. A Luzerne county man waits the Governor to set apart a "sparrow day." when a wholesale onslaught will be made on the little pests, It is p • tiveb said tha* there will be a "Labor Party" organized in Sullivan county- before liennina- j tious arc made for the 1N!>0 cam— paign. Ice and snow a ,- <' not far /distant, and the. ye nng in:,.n in need, 112 heavy clothing v ill begin to wonder what has become of his List summer s wages. Thick woolen stockings saveel the life of Mrs. RurUm, of Middlebury, I'a. She was bitten by a rattle snake, but t. ic stocking•« absorbeel j the venom. The spot turned bright i irreen. Republicans it if not too enr'y to J commence making arrangements to ; be in attendance at the polls on the 1 sth eif November. See that every Republican in your precinct votes | at this election. The only Democratic political: workers representing John I tz, are: John (J. Scoutenand A.Logan Grim. They are kept pretty busy, Ihe j people are waiting anxiously to hear j the result of their efforts. John Scouten and A. L. Grim are] doing what they can for the success j of John Utz. Mr. Utz is not repre sented by tin' leading Democrats of the county. 'I hey say ho does not j merit their support. Stewart Chase of Lal'orte, _'X- 1 changed horses se\en times, oil Thursday last, and 011 Friday, sold | the reminenee, two in number, for a j large sum. Stew still owns a match team of grays. He may own a dozen before to-morrow night. Messrs. Benj. Crossley, Tlios. E. I Kennedy, John Boyd and B. S. | Karns all of 1 al'orte, were guests of Bloomsburg 011 Friday and Satur day and took in the fair. Tlicy pro nounce the trotting on Saturday lightning. Mr. I'tz has.led a rank political career for the past ten years, and is now beginning to taste the bitter j parts of his misdeeds. The leading 1 Democratic politicians of the county! are opposing him and they arc justi-j lied in doing so as he is not. a true] Democrat, and they say he is not j entitled to their support. S. F. Colt jr., of Philadelphia, was in town the fore part of this week wheu he shipped his house-hold goods to the city. He and his fami ly and his mother in-law Mrs. Finch, left for Wysox on Tuesday where they attended the wedding of his sister Miss Hattie Colt on Wednes day and retur.ied with his family to 'lie citv 011 Friday. There ill be four parties in the field in Sullivan county, in the 1800 campaign viz: The Republican, Democrat, Labor and the Prohibi tion. Most any person can be a candidate next year. The Republican Vigilance Com mittee ip each precinct should look after the 3tay-at-home-voters and see that a full vote is polled at this elec tion. Each committeeman should take pride in doing something for the principles which he represents at the near approaching election. The Dushore papers are pounding one another. Newell claims that he can't hit Streby on the lieiui because he has none. Streby says, notwith standing the head racket, that he has a knife to grind and it, is in the shape of a paper cutter p.ih' v. ill do as good work as the one owned by the Jitview. The controversy be gan about a paper cutter. The Gazette says."The Demo cratic party of Sullivan county does not come before the people in false colors. It does not preach temper nnce and peddle whiskey." Granted; but the candidate for Sheriff who stole tke Democratic nomination from Crossley is begging for Pro hibition votes and paying for whis key. Join. Utz and his two associates, Ncouten and Grim are trembling in their boots, they foresee the result of two weeks from next Tuesday. They are use ing every moans possible to get the substantial leaders in line for Mr. Utz, they •'veline how ever, saying that Utz is not a Demo era and they are under 110 obliga tions to give him their political strength and vote. .Mr. Utz is quite put out about, the treatment he is receiving at the linnets of ;'ie boys but cannot consistently siiy that he does lot merit it, brought-about by his unprin:'iple actions for'the Demo cratic party. He fought Vonkin, | McDonald, Collins, Karns and Meyers, all good Democrats and • ere the nominees of the Demo-! cratic conventions. The election is only about two weeks oIF, hut little intention is given to it by the voters. Tins apathy is caused largely by the fact j that the voters have made up their 1 minds to suj port Lawrence. Ke it-1 accepted liy the people as t lie man , who is in every respect qualified fu) j tin; otjice lo which t.lie people have j nominated aiul will receive their ; votes. He is a ninn of superior ability, with a clear record and stands is high a citizen. Such a ma:: the voters argue, should be support- [ ed, because in this aire of increasir.iz intelligence the time has passed for voting blindly for candidates who have secured their nomination like Mr. Utz, by the use of wliifficy and money. Mr, Lawrence was the choice of the people and is a fair representation of the people and this is why the people favor his election. The Gaz tte says:"lt is r. well known fact that the Republicans in Sullivan county have been running whiskey and temperance campaigns more or less for the last five years.'' This is one of those slur. l : 0:1 the Republicans which the Ga zette continually makes without any regard lor truth Having already compared them lo "dumb cattle," it seems to suppose they will truely submit to wholesale lying. If Streby had head enough above bis ears to hold Xewell's plug hat on lie would not call attention to whis key campaigns a this stage of the game. .John Utz may well cry out save me from my friends. The Democrats of Sullivan county do not run whiskey campaigns; but how is |it with Utz ? If Streby can't an j swer let Grim take the floor. The Gazette asserts that if Utz is elected I Sheriff, he will do more for those in I financial embarrassment than the i Republican candidate is able to do This is taunting Mr. Lawrence be cause of his lack of wealth. Elect Utz because he has money: Defeat Lawrence because he has none. What is the meaning of it? But where is the evidence that John Utz will help those in financial embar rassment ? Give him good security and a big fxinn*, and .John will help you; but it is that kind of help wliieh finally eats into the marrow of a poor man's bones. The new baptist church, at Eag les Mere, is progressing nicely. We have bem informed by two or three different parties that John Utr has about given up his election to the office of Sheriff in > uvember Tie says the people are going back on him. Perhaps they were interes ted in the welfare of the Democratic party when lie fought the nominee! to the sv.ords point and arc forceiiif upon him that which he was s< liberal to give, 'revenge.' The sanguinary Streby in his las i 'sue puts it thus : ZW t •'This is the dagger of the Inghiui rintr which killed the I'roiiibitioi convention of Sullivan county a Friday the 4th day o Oct., b> . vote of 15 ic 14.'' ~s~ 1 I I ; I i Whiskey.

The banner won by the Republi- of Sullivan county in the cam paign of 1883 for the largest inrri-ast of Republican vote of any county ii the State, over ' he Hlaine campaign ill 1884, was presented to the Repub licans of Sullivan by State Chairman Andrews and Henry K. Hoyer, lle publican candidate for State Treas uivr, on Wednesday. On the banner is inscribed the fol lowing: i*a::t'lei> couiity, no-1- SULLIVAN, (jliampion of 188S.

The decision of the Supreme Court on Monday lasl finally and the equity suit brought in 188.") against A. M Mints by A. It. Sprout. The suit arose over a lumber contract. Sprout claimed that Mints had disobeyed orders and Mints insisted that the orders could not be obeyed and that Sprout had not done his part toward carrying out the contract The case was refered to John 11. Cronin, Esq. of Dushore, as Master and Examiner, who, alter a thorough investigation of the case, tiled an able opinion on the law and facts, both ot which he found to be in favor of the defen dant, Mints ; and he recommended that ti'.e bill be dismissed at the cos', of the complainant. The case was next heard before Judge Sittser on exceptions to the Masters Report, The Judge tiled a carefully written opinion in which the exceptions wert sustained and the injuetion made permanent, the costs being placed upon the defendant, the Judge find ing both the law and the facts ii favor of Mr. Sprout. The case next went to the Supreme Court and was argued last March. After taking the whole summer to consider it.tin Supreme Court, in an able opinioi by Justice Williams, finds that tin report of the Master was correc both as to the law and the facts reveises the decision of the Conimoi Pier*.;-, dismisses the bill and put the costs on Mr. Sprout. Mr. Cronii no d übt feels repaid for his carefu work as the Supreme Court adoptn iiis opinion on the legal and eqiiit:i ble questions involved, and it is higli lv creditable that so young a lav.ye should have laid down the true rule of law and equitable principles aj pltcablc to so complicated a case. The Republican party is the3*oung men's party. In all parts of the United States it is attracting the majority of the young and intelligent , voters to its ranks. Vote for lioyer t for State Treasurer. The frantic squeals in last wecVs Gazette over the action of the Prohibitionists in refusing to pv.il ' Democratic Chestnuts out of the fire were exceedingly refreshing. The ' whiskey soaked coterie which just at present seems to be running the Democratic councils, were in hopes that the Temperance people would ■; nominate a candidate and thus boost 1! their man into oflice. Just why the 1' Temperance people should elect Uu t; and beat, Lawrence is not very clear 112: to any one. l T tz is notoriously in temperate and is the most a-dept | and dangerous in this county in handling whiskey and whiskey in ! terest at elections. Lawrence is a | temperate, steady, hard woiking , honest man. While not a Prohibi tionists, he is a Temperance man, | and he would be an honor and a j credit to any party. We ask Streby 1 to state if he knows of a mere j iion ) orable sober, quiet, efll?ient intelli gent and decent minded man in sullivaii county than Will Lawrence? llt was natural therefore that the ; friends of good government in the [! Prohibition Convention, those who favor a sober and impart ad officer as Sheriff, united to vote down the J scheme of the Utz clique. Why , shouldn't they do so Mr. Streby? j Honestly don't you think that a j friend of sobriety would prefer a sober man to an intemperate one ? Of course every one knew that a ■ nomination for Sheriff by the Tem perance Convention would help Utz just that much. Grim and Scouten (twin roses from a single stem) well knew that "no nomination'' meant injury to 1' v.. They evidently ex ; pect 110 temperance votes, else why so fierce for a nomination? As far as our own action is concern jed we abide by it. if it is a sin to i vote for a Temperance man we wili ;su fer accordingly. We think Mr. j j Iluokell can also stand the attacks of 1 ; the I t/ parly. Is thirty years of de votion to the principles of T mpei | anee, advocating it in the rostrum land practicing it in private life, do j not give Mr. Hu jkell the right to 1 tfcke part 111 a council of Temperance men. it is high time that Mr. j Grim, Mr. Scouten and Mr. Utz be 1 re: i .rtiizcd as leaders of Temperance 1 people. This attack of Grim and '"tz upon Mr. lluckell is mereh I diameless •llrontory. Mr. Huckell's ' Tcmperain e is of the sterling quality ' ! and is not a hypocritial sham. But we are giving altogether too j l'. uch space to the GaztUe liowl, j for every one knows that the action lot' the Prohibitionist Convention J has almost surely settled the Sheriff j tight, and will result in giving Sulli- I van county a sober, rel&ble and fair j minded official. In the meantime brother Streby you just keep 011 j squealing if it hurts. Corner Stone Laying. On Thursday the Corner Stone of the Church of St. John in the wilder ness was laid at Eagles Mere bv the Dev. Samuel P. Kelly General Diocesan Missionary in the presence of a large number of persons. In I the absence oft lie bishops and other j Clergy the entire service was taken ii by Mr. Kelly who made an interest | ing address showing why tin church was built and what it provided for the people in simplicity of worship 1 and purity of Christian teaching in permanence, equnlet}' and comfort- Mr. C. La Rue Munson read a brief history of the place and the church which with a bible prayer book, and hyniaual church and secular news ■ papers, etc. The church is to be of : stone, with apsedal chancel, center ; tower and cruciform A. D. Jones 1 of New York is the. Architect and • A. C. Little of Picture Docks the . builder. It, will cost over SSOOO and will be completed by next June. 1 The walls are now up over 1G feit 5 except at lie corner stone corner 1 and the building already presents an 1 imposing appearance. After the I services the Dev. Mr. Kelly pro - needed to the residence ot Mr. - George Smith and performed the r marriage service the high contrac* s tery parties being Mr. Philip limine kueclit and Miss Marguret Anneldest daughter of 31 r.
