S. Collins of Dushore is a candidate for Senator of this dis trict, subject to the decision of the Democratic Convention. That he is worthy of the honor there is no question and it is presumed that he will have but little trouble in secur ing the Sullivan county nomination. At the district convention which will probably he held in Blooms burg, the fight will be interesting, however,- Bryan stands equally as good chance of securing the nomina tion there as either of his opponents. We wish him success. . «■» i.»— Our town was visited by a gang of robbers on Thursday night last.

' The Remains of a Long Missing Child Found at FreoiaticL The parents of little Annie Ulrich, of Freeland have for three years I mourned in suspense her disappear ance on Decoration Day, 1887. Ou that date she, with other children was watching the parade of veterans when she suddenly disappeared. Though the search was continued for weeks no trace of her could be found. Wednesday, however, the mystery of the missing child was solved. Alvin Rohrbach, while crossing the mountain at Upper Lehigh, found among the rocks the remains of the child's form, only the bleached bones and a few bits of clothing re maining to afford a clue to its identi ty. The news was carried to Free land at once, and the parents of the missing child were informed. They hastened to the spot and the mother's quick and keen memory served to identify the remains of a pair of red stockings and new shoes as those worn by her child. The remains were brought home and received in terment. The child is supposed to have wandered voluntarily from the town and to have died from expos ure on the mountain side— Milton Record Frank Barrager of LaPorte twp., has taken the contract of James McFarlane of delivering one hun dred thousand feet of Cherry Jogs to the depot at Nordmont.

Their income from coal royalties alone reaches a quarter 01 a million dollars a year. One mem ber of the family of Shoemakers is] McDonald D. He is aged about! thirty. His income from coal royal-' ties is about $20,000 a year. Six j months ago it was given out that I Mac. was about to wed the daughter 1 of a rich and aristocratic citizen re siding 011 River street. His family received the match favorably, and saw in an early marriage a new career for the young man. All at once young Shoemaker said he would not marry the girl who had been raised in the lap of luxury. Re had a terrible dread that he would one day become poor and then his wife would be no help to him. He proposed to mhrry a poor girl, who, in the hour of ad versity, if such an hour came', could assist him in earning his daily bread. Annie Lawrence, or English Annie, was the girl he proposed to marry. She was formerly employed as a housekeeper. When Shoemaker's relatives liesird of his intentions they became highly indignant. The Court was petitioned to appoint a commission to examine into the young man's sanity,'and the request was granted'. The action of the relatives made Shoemaker more determined than' ever to marry the girl of his choice. One day last week he and the Law rence girl took a train for Elmira, where they were quietly married. On Saturday Shoemaker returned with his bride. His purpose was to install the latter irt his mother's home, on Union street. His uncle, John Harrower, was in waiting. As soon as the bridal couple put in an appearance Harrower took the baggage, fired it into the street, and when Shoemaker attempted to enter the house the uncle knocked him down, blackened his eyes and kicked him into the gutter. Shoemaker at once went before Mayor Sutton and had his uncle arrested. There is great excitement in aristocratic circles over the affair. Uncle Har rower says Mac Shoemaker has de graded himself, but not the Shoe ■ maker family. The wife will not be admitted to the family circle under any circumstances.
