early in the morning until coven in
the evening 40. or thereabouts was
the gross receipts ot the day's
doings. We doubt if there is a
: town of our size in the state that
could do better than (his, or even so
well, under similar disadvantages of
I
the weather. Had providence
smiled upon us and given us the
rays of sunlight and not quite so
much dampness, the receipts of the
doings would have scored nearly
one hundred dollars.
LOST LETTERS.
e,000,000 L.' t r - Yearly i ;*i[ to Reach
Their Destination.
The number of lost letters re-'
ported to the post-oftice department!
at Washington, last yeaf 1 , was very 1
large, and, some facts regarding!
these stray missives may be of gen
eral interest. There v.efe received
at the dead letter ollice at Washing-!
ton nearly 6,000,000 missives, which,
for one reason or another, failed to'
find their addresses. Of these, 1
10,700 were not addressed at all;
18,000 contained money, amounting!
in all to $35,000 • and there were
inclosures of checks, drafts, etc., to!
the amount of $1,600,00 in 22,000]
letters. Of course in such an im
mense correspondence a? : done in
the Un'ted States, misut&trA are in
evitable, but one would hardly ex
pect thai every half hour of the day
and night a letter would be dropped
in a postolliee with no address
whatever. The amount of money
which found its way to the dead
letter ollice instead of to the persons
to whom it was due, indicates a
singular carelessness in financial)
matters. It ought to be possible lot
trace the ownership of the checks
and drafts, but much of the money l
doubtless will go into the national
treasury because of the inability of
the ofllcialsto find the owners. There
is a lesson in these facts and figures,
of interest to all, for the illiterate
are far from being the only ones to
misdirect correspondence.
Prohibition Convamion.
Pursuant to fi call of county
Cbaiviimn David Molyneux, the
Prohibition Convention convened in
the Court House at LaPorte, on
Saturday June 21st 1800.
Chairman Molyneux called the

convention T. •). Keeler was elected
president and Benj. Faucctl and 11.

J. W. Ballard, T. J. Keeler. Lopez:
Shrewsbury: —A. T.
Avery, A. H. Marr. After the
secretary had taken down tin: names
of delegates', nominations were de
clared to be in order.
The president announced that
nominations would be made com
mencing with Representative and
continuing according to the prom
inence of the oflice. David Moly
neux Esq., of Forks twp., was
nominated for member ; J.
W. Ballard of La Porte for treas.
urer; Christopher Snyder of Elk
land aiul George E. Taylor of
Shrewsbury for county commission
ers and A. H. Marr o r Eagles.M•.■re
and F. B. Giidewell of Forksvillc
for auditors.
At tliis juncture t here was con
siderable discussion as to the ad
visability of placing candidates for
the ollice of Congressman and Sena
tor on the ticket, the convention
however, deemed it inexpedient,
hence there were no nominations
made for tiieso offices.
( Joel MOI3 neux and J. L. Smyth
were elected congressional conferees
I
and A. 11. Marr and A. C. Black
mail senatorial conferees.
1 Delegates elected to the State
' con veil tion were as follows: L. S.
Bedford, T. J. Keeler, 11. A. Coklin
and David -Molyr.eu\, alternates—\V.
I>. Albert Joel Molyneux, J. \V.
Ballard and John Andrews.
Committee on resolutions were
then elected and reported.
Resolutions were adopted as read.
Standing committee for 1891 :
Collcy: —W. M. Ileeser; Cherry:—
John \V. Martin; licrnice: —Win.
Johnson ; JJushore:— Dav

Grove: — T^opez:—
La Porte tup.: —J. W.Harvey; La-
Forte boro.: —R A. Conklin ;
Shrewsbury: —A. H Marr. John
W. Grange was made Chairman of
the Standing committee and A. 11.
Marr secretary.
At this point of progress, A. 11.
Marr, of Eagles Mere, who was nom
inated for the ollice of auditor took
the lloor and declined to accept of
the nomination, saying that he did
not do so on account of the few
votes in the party but because he
was otherwise engaged and that he
would much prefer to do work for
his neighbor other than himself.
Mr. Marr is unquestionably the
standard bearer of the Prohibition
party of Sullivan count}' and his
judgment is superior. A vote of
the convention was then taken as
to whether they would permit Mr.
Marr to withdraw from the ticket,
which lesulted in the negative, after
which he accepted.
On motion adjourned.
In 1889 Johnson the Prohibition
candidate for Stato Treasurer re
ceived 123 votes in Sullivan county.
It will be remembered however, the
favorable circumstances which were
brought to bear and by what means
this vote was swelled from 43 in
1888 to 123 in 1890. Democrats
and Republicans were anxious for a
trade with Prohibitionists by which
they would vote the State Prohibi
tion ticket providing the Prolii.
would vote the county ticket as
dictated by them. Others volun
teered.
CHURCH NEWS.
The Consecration of St. John's La-
Porte, Bright Sermons and Ad
dresses. Opening Services at-
Eagles Mere Visiting Clergy in
Attendance.
With the putting on of the livin
ed green with which all nature is
adorned, the church at the opening
of the Trinity season makes a new
start in Sullivan county, with the
opening of the summer season.
More than a score of years ago the
solemn services which we to-day
record were looked forward to by
anxious hearts and hopeful souls,
many of whom have gone to their
rest without seeing what they so
earnestly longed for, the consecra
tion of an Episcopal church in the
town of LaPorte. A very few of
the descendants of the last genera
tion, some of thein having traveled
from afar, were present to witness
the services of the crowning day of
joy to the old church which is so
purely apostolis,distinctively liberal
and truely American in her works
and ways. The mission work in
this and Shrewsbury townships, are
so closely connected that St. John's
LaPorte and St. John's in the wilder
ness of Eagles Mere must necessarily
be a part and parcel of each other
as centers for reaching the many
scattered communicants around the
county. Much hard and faithfully
labor has been done around the
count}' in years gone by and the
names of Harding, Hcaton and
Gregson are remembered with pleas
ure and thankfulness as well as those
of Cameron, Sweet ard Kel'y of
latter j'ears. The Bishop in his
present visitation accompanied by
'lie General Missionary of the
Diocese the Rev. Samuel P. Kelly i
came lirut; to Eagles Mere on Sunday]
last, where a new stone church is in
progress of erection. It will be
remembered that a portion of the
wall fell last winter, but it has been
replaced by a stone more strong and
secure peace of masonry a ; id the
hew church will be not only stable
and secure but more attractive than
the former structure. As it is not
quite ready for occupancy, services
were held in the mornirg in the
Presbyterian church building which
was kindly loaned for the purpose.
The Bishop and Mr. Kelly olfered
morning prayer after which the
Bishop preached a thoughtful ser
i men on the head. "If I may but
touch the hem of his garment which
j v.:i> a masterly discussion of chris
tian faith and devotion in its sinip
j test and strongest form." Tlie
| Bishop was the guest of Mr. .1. V
j Brown of Williamsport and Mr.
| Kelly of C. La Rue \iunson Esq.
In the afternoon they were driven
| over the rough and rugged road to
[ Lal'orte hy that experienced driver
Mr. George Smith of Shrewsbury
1 and to his care and speed, and not
to the condition of the road, is it
due that they arrived in time for
evening services at Si. John's.
There they were greeted by a large
| and deeply attentive congregation.
I Mr. Kelly conducted the service and
the Bishop preached a forccible
sermon (or rather addres, for lie
spoke without notes and struck
i straight from the shoulder) on chris
tian enthusicasm from the text
"We are able." He spoke of the
lack of spirit and life in the religion
of the nineteenth century and argued j
for the spirit of the apostles and
confessors of centuries ago, infused
with the American spirit and vigor
®of to-day, and urged the church
people to»stand together in the fore
front and do their part;
for Christ and his church. He an
nounced at the close of his address,
that regular service would be com
menced on Sunday next, as he had
placed the work for the summer at!
least under the eliargo of a compe-|
tent young man, who had just;
graduated with the first honors of
his class at one of our Pennsylvania
colleges, and urges the people to
stand by him and encourage him in
his new work.
On Monday evening a special
service was held preparatory to the
consecration of the church. The
building was well filled and all
seemed deeply interested in the ser
vice. Evening prayer was offered
by the General Missionary. Un
fortunately the train was late and
the expected Clergy did not arrive.
