3p>oßLiem W CHENES? Edito FRIDAY, NOVEMBER, 22nd, 18S9. ENTERED AT POST-OFFICE. f.APOKTI PA., AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER. J V. RETTENEURY, WATCHMAKER AND JEWEI.EB, DITSHORE, PA. tI.OOIt RBWh From the Daily Gazette and Jivlletin, Dated Nov. 20th, 'B9. Superintendent Westfall returned from Montgomery about ten o'clock last night. lie stated that two spans of the temporary portion of the bridge had gone out, and that arrangements had been made with the Reading Company, whereby tbi passenger traffic would not be in terrupted. Passengers will be transferred at Sunbury to the Read ing road, the tracks of that compan\ being used to Montgomery, and from theie the company's own tracks would be used. Superintendent Westfall also stated that the indi cations pointed to a twenty-two foot flood by morning. MA UKET STREET BRIDGE QO.VE. The trestle portions of the Market street bridge withstood the heavy strain until a quarter past eleven o clock, when it toppled over into the stream. A big hurrah went up at the same time from the throats of many persons on the South Side. •Just why they should hurrah over a nmttter of that kind puzzled manv persons on this side of the river. 1 lie Oil 1 look For Htnllui Reform The action 0/the County Demo cracy organization of New York City in declaring emphatically in \ favor of ballot reform is one of the i most significant signs in the battle for purer elections. It will strentgh-' en the hands of the advocates of the Australian system of voting and aid greatly in the third effort which will be made the coming Winter to se cure a ballot reform law for New! York, Mr. Charles T. Saxton, whoj had charge of the bill which Gover nor Hill vetoed this year, has al-' ready announced his intention 01 again introducing his measure in New York Senate, to which body j the Republicans elected him last week. Hut it is not in New York alone that expressions in favor of the Australian system are coming from unexpected sources. The smooth working of the method in Mas-! sachusetts has convinced many doubters of its practicability. The chief objection the Democrats have had to it was the fear that it might reduce their party vote. Such an objection is a manifest confession ! that the means that they have em ployed to carry elections are not above reproach. Rut they imagine; that they see in the increased Democratic vote in Massachusetts! a proof that their fears are ground less. Whether they judge rightly i or not, every Republican will con-1 eider a removal of Democratic ob struction to ballot reform a full compensation for the reduced part} ! majority in Massachusetts lasti week. With this brightened outlook, it j it is to be regretted that owing to biennial legislative sessions only a comparatively few Legislatures will j meet this Winter. Eleven Legisla-j tures in the old states will be in! session, six of which are Northern I and five are Southern states. Two i of these states, Massachusetts and' Rhode Island, have ballot reform laws already. The help of the County Democracy in New York I may bring enough assistance to the Republicans to override Governor Hill's opposition in that state. Governor-elect Abbett, of New Jersey was forced during the re cent canvass to take an attitude fav orable to some method of reform, and the result may be an envelope law something like that in force in 1 Connecticut. A bill was lost in Ohio last. Winter but it is not im probable that one will pass next Winter, and in lowa the signs are especially promising for si mi liar action. The Southern states in which bal lot reform laws are possible are , -Maryland Kentucky. The Balti- , more Sm, has begun already to urge the adoption of the Australian system in the first state, and the success which has attended its np-L plication in Loui»viile tnay lead to' < its extension to flu; ~/iolc of tlieL second state. There nro five states, then, in which ballott reform laws uiay be adopted the coming Winter. There are nine states which have idopted the Australian system al ready, if Connecticut's law is to be classed under that Lead. If five states take favorable action on ballot reform bills next year one i hird of the states in the Union will then have adopted the system. Some a? the new states may also arrange themselves 011 the side of the same reform. The favorable expressions heard from states in which Australian bills were rejected last Winter make it certain that favorable action will be taken in some of them in 1891, when nearly all the Legislatures are in session. If Sullivan an McCaffrey are in doubt what place to choose for their proposed encounter we do not see why they should not select Missis sippi. To be sure, there was a little fuss made there about the Siillivan- Kilrain affair, but then the pugibsts were not prevented from lighting to a finish and though Sullivan was ' found guilty of an offense against the state by a Mississippi jury he is still at large and free to enter into a conspiracy to commit a like breach of the peace in any jurisdiction that seems unlikely to interfere with his desire to pound and be pounded for the sake of glory, prize money and a belt. The appointment by Governor lieaver of Colonel William Livsey to fill the unexpired .term of the late State Treasurer Hart is an ex cellent one. The appointment was an unexpected one. No new duties will be imposed upon Mr. Livsey by the assumption o( the duties of State Treasurer, for ever since the illness of the late Captain Halt he has been the responsible head of this department. Colonel Livsey is eminently fitted for the place, as he has already demonstrated upon two previous occasions, when he was selected for State Treasurer once by j the people and afterwards by the j Executive, to fill the vacancy created , by the election of Mr, Quay to the ; senatorsliip. A fl/NHIUI, TIIIKI rAOUIIT. Ile Iftturni'd U lib ilir iirciivtd nuil Then (lit- llit-uved 'loiinicil (or Iliiu. ST. LOUIS. NOV. 14.—Detectives to-day arrested the celebrated funer al thief, who has been operating here with great success for two months. Duriug that time he has i stolen SSOOO in cash aud jewelry j from homes where funerals were in j progress. There has always been noticed ; among those who attended to mourn with the brcaved, one whose suit ; was of a little more sombre black, | whose grief was just a trifle more i pronounced and whose melancholy ! countenance bore a look of deeper woe than any of the other mouners present. During the demonstra i tions of grief and the solemn cei | monies the man would receive but ; passing notice, and he was consider ied as one well acquainted with tue I deceased. Unlike most of the mourners present, he always de- I clined with thanks any invitation to ! follow the body to the I grave, and would disappear at about j the time the services were over and I casket was being taken from the I boupp. | When the breavedfamily returned to the house of mourning, however, they invariably discovered that from basement to garret drawers were thrown open, closet doors ajar and every article of value that had been there was missing. Altogether more thnn thirty robberies have been reported, and in many cases where detectives attended the fu nerals the houses were robbed while the officers were on the premises. This morning the solemn thief was captured in the house of Mrs. Hare, on Mound Street, just after a funeral. The officers had concealed themselves in the house. Ile gave his name as Paul Barton. He wore diamonds and a gold watch and carried a complete burglar's kit. lie will now have a chance to attend the funeral of his own freedom. froliihitioii In lowa. Few were prepared for so speed v an overthrow of Prohibition in the State of lowa as now seems inevit able. A short time ago a large majority of the people of that State were in favor of giving Prohibition a trial, and the Republican party, ever willing to obey the behests of the people, enacted all the legisla tion that was necessary to carry out popular sentiment 011 the subject. The constantly declining Republi can majorities was the uninigtake able evidence that a re-actiou Lad set in, and that the people were rapidiy lending in an anti-Prohibi tion direction. The crash came sooner than was exj ected. The Republicans had as their candidate for Governor a man who was pro nounced in favor of maintaining t'lf Prohibition laws- the Democrats had as their candidate for Governor one who openlv advocated the re peal of the Prohibition laws and the substitution of high license. The issue was squarely made and 110 other question was given prom inence in the campaign. The anti- Prohibition Democratic candidate is elected Governor by 8,000 majori ty, while some of the Kopublican candidates for other State ollices are elected by ten thousand majority. That telle, very clearly, the story of lowa. In the elections for members of the legislature the same result fol lowed. A!any pronounced Republi can Prohibitionists were defeated in districts which have heretofore been strongly in favor of Prohibition. Democratic candidates for Senator and Representative, who were open lj - against Prohibition were elected m heretofore strong Republican districts. A transition has occured in Iowa; an anti-Prohibition Gover nor and an anti-Prohibition majori ty in the legislature is the result. The Prohibition laws will be repeal ed and high license will besub'titut-i ed. The peoplo of lowa have so decreed at the ballot-box, after having given Prohibition a trial, and the will of the majority must bo respected. lowa has practically ceased to be a Prohibition State. LOPEZ JOTTINGS. Some smart frosts lately. Mow is Ihe hunters opportunity. E. A. Strong of Dushore, was a I recent visitor to Lopez. John Kinsley and wife are both til. Dr. Wad dell of Dushore was in • town on Thursday viewing his now residence yet under construction. A fearful accident happened j last Tuesday 011 the job of j Den Daniels, who is stocking the i Jennings Bros. mill. llis most j valuable team was killed by u falling tree while standing to have the ! grabs pulled from the log they had just drawn to the skid way. The team-ster did not see the falling tree until nearly upon them, and barely escaped death himself. One horse was instantly Killed and the other survived in agony a few hours. 'lhe L. V. R. it. Co., contemplate erecting a round house at this place. Mr. John Lawrence, of Dusnore, accompanied by his son Howard J were among the arrivals in town on Friday. Mr. Lawrence wus sur prised in finding that one day was unsuffieient togo through our town, and will return to see the remainder when the days grow longer. Oh Gallagher! its deplorable, but some of our young lads are ac complishing what our "oldest in habitance" can not achieve. Are we justified in this statement "peaches? 13y the way, our town is blessed with a rattle headed young man Clias. Parks, a deaf mute, who bails from the country about fowauda. lie claims to be the most unique figure that steps up to chalk the cue and commands attention where ever he can obtain it. But as vet has not made any good impression. He was dismissed from the link a few days ago with but little cerc monuy, an his presence in manv of our business places is not greatly desired. He carries an open jack knife in his pocket for the boys and takes clear liall—that's the kind of a clothes pin he is. Ou Thursday last all the mill hands ol Kipps had a narrow es cape from an accident while at work in the mill. The governor stem by some means went wrong and the result of it was, the engine ran away with all the machinery. Pieces of pullics and strips of belting flow promiscuously,through all parts of the mill. And before the steam could be controlled there WUB Uo t a pulley in the mill. A shaft thirty feet long measuring five hfches in dimnuter was twisted in all shapes, and timber Bxlo were shriveled in atoms, but strange to say not a man was injured in the least-* TALLY HO.
