Ciiief Deputy Elery P. Ingham of'
the Custom House of Philadelphia, j
will visit Sullivan county the last of,
this week and will remain at La
Porte and EaglesMero for a week or
ten days.
New York will maintain its lead
among the great cities of the coun- :
try with the greatest ease! The in- j
crease in population will tun well
nigh to 600,000, which, in itself,
would make a great city. It con
tains more people than, twenty
seven of the States of the Union.
Prof. t l . W. Meylert of LaPorte, j
has recently leveled a fine lawn ten ■ |
nis ground at his father's residence j
on Cherry St. Frank takes |
great delight in the game especially j
when the young ladies have a de
sire for a little recreaticti in that
way.'
The most foolish act men can do
is to gi't excited over politics. This
lias been too often the scene in
Sullivan county. It generally works
more harm than good to the causfc
you would advocate. We trust that
this election may pass off smoothly
and not in line with past years.
Several of our town gents took in
the 4th of July celebration at Will
iamsport and pronounce a grand
good time. One or two who had
arranged to return on the evening's
excursion failed to make connec
tion at the city depot and remained
over until the next day.
The Review man will slide down
Williams hill, near Dushore, a half
day or so this week, if he gets time.
No doubt it will be quite an excur
sion for the boy. We do.ubt if the
owner of the ground, James Cun
ningham, will object, as Newell will
undoubtedly prove a good fertilizer.
Services in the Episcopal church
evfcry Sunday. Mr. Werner of Al
lentown, the young man selected by
the Bishop to take charge of St.
John's arrived June 28, and will re
main during the summer. Mr.
Werner is a man of push and energy
• and we are glad to 1 welcoma him in
I our midst.
The entertainment given by the
Y. W. C. T. TJ, of LaPofte in the
M. E. church on Tuesday evening
Juno 24, was well atteuded and a
pronounced success. The members
of the Loyal Legion are deserving
of special praise for the excellence
of the respective parts rendered by
them.
j We spent a very enjoyable 4th at j
! Philadelphia witnessing two games !
l of ball one in the forenoon and one
in the afternoon, both between the
Athletic and, the Colnmbus clubs. |
The Athletib's won both, which was
very satisfactory to us. We trust,
that one and all of our readers eu-j
joyed the Day equally as well.
We have consulted one or two of
the towh council in reference to j
l building a side walk to Mountain !
Ash cemetery and find them of the '
opinion that theie should be a walk j
laid and that they will vote in favor j
of tlie measure in chamber. It is :
the people's wish that the council i
corisider the project at their next 1 ,
meeting. ,
We are told that Lyman B. Speak-:
er Esq., of Hills Grove, will enter; 1
the field for the nomination of Mem- j 1
ber of Sullivan county, subject to j'
the decision of the Democratic con-1 1
vention; this fall. His announce-j 1
ment will appear in the Gazette this j'
week. With Mr. Karns of LaPorte 1
and Mr! Speaker in the Bold, thei !
people can look for a warm con
tested Democratic convention.
NOTICE.
Sealed proposals will be received
by the chairman, itHtil July 18th (
1890, for work to be, done in Moun- j |
tain Ash cemetery of La Porte, as fol- j,
lows : Fence straightened, and new 1
posts putin where needed ; briers
dug; pi - ploughed out; grass cut and
raked up; trees trimmed; drive
staked out and neglected graves put
111 good shape.
MRS. E. M. DUNHAM, Chairman.
Judge Mason of LaPoite, was
called to Scranton, on Wednesday,
to make a survey of a tract of land
hear said city. The Judge
made a survey of the land j
which is in dispute and to be j
Settled by the lines as marked out i
by him, many years ago, and for j
this reason the parties immediately j
concerned will not take the notes of
Lackawanna survej-ors but persisted ,
upon having the Judge. We con- i
gratulate them upon their choice.
The survey when completed will be
ollicial.
A pleasant little birthday sur- J
prise party was given Miss Etta,
Chase of LaPofte, on Tuesday last, j
It was Miss Ettie's seventh summer j'
an<\ her mother invited her many |
school mates to join with her on the I
occasion. Tea was served the little]
ones, ten or twelve in number, at 0 j
; p. in.and all Enjoyed the little alfafi i
j immensely. Such trifling and not ;
very troublesome entertainments for
children afford the little bnes much
j pleasure and should be tolerated in
much more by our people than has
j beeii common during the past.
The committee appointed to have
Mountain Ash cemetery beautified
and the fence repaired, by means
raised at the recent festival have ,
agreed to let the work of doing the ,
same to the lowest bidder, as will be
seen 61sewhere in this issue. This .
is the only way of disposing of this i
work satisfactory to the people and
the committee although they are put (
in charge of contracting for said .
work, do the proper act by letting |
the people see the course pursued j
by them in this matter. Had the (
entire work been disposed of in this
way the people would have been ,
much better satisfied.
A party of thirty-five Williains
port gentlemen, most of whom are
members of the Mokoma Land Co.,
visited LaPorte on the 27th ult. on
business connected with the com.
pany's interests. They came to
Nordmont on the noon train and
.returned on a special in the evening.
'While here a meeting was field and
a number of th 6 company agreed
that, in case a competent person
could be secured to erect a restaur
ant where meals could be obtained,
they would erect cottages on their
lots and bring their families here.
James McFarlane Esq., and three
other members of the company a
greed to advance two-thirds of the
sumnocessory to build a good restaur
ant. All seemed well pleased with
the appearauoe of the la"ke and its
surroundings. The company com
prises the best and most influential
men of Williamsport, and when they
take hold of the enterprise with a
view of carrying it out, succes is as
sured.
j THE FOURTH:—LaPorte enjoyed
|a good old fashioned Fourth of July, j
The celebration consisted of a picnic
held in the delightful grove in the'
j second ward. The orders of the day I
were as follows : At 10 a. m. tbo
, procession headed by . the drum
corps left the first ward and pro
j ceeded to the picnic grounds. On
arriving at the second ward the
• ranks were, increased by large ad
' ditions and by the time the grove
i was reached the party was large and i
enthusiastic. Shortly after the ar
rival at the grove the orator of the
| day, non. T. J. Ingham took the
! platform. His address was stirring
; and timely and was listened to
throughout with marked • interest',
and attention. Then came the din-j
ner, which, for variety and general
excellence, has never been equaled'
on a similar occasion. The supply I
jof good things was inexhaustible!
and there was not only enough, but!
to spare. Soon after dinner the
lively strains from the orchestra be
gan to summon the dancers and in a
short time the large platform was
filled. Dancing was the order of the
rest of the da}' and continued until
the small hours Of the morning.
Altogether the affair was extremeh'
pleasant perfectly harmonious, and
entirely successful. The people of
the second ward are certainly de
serving of much ctedit for the suc
cess of the undertaking. They rais
ed by subscription about SBO which
was expended for lumber, building
of platform, orchestra and the din
ner. The picnic grounds arc de
lightfully situated, ample and a per
fect bower of shade. The slight
rain did not interfere with the day's
enjojments.
The fishing season for trout will
j close on the 15th of this month.
| Among the summer guests stop
ping at the Mountain House, arei
| Mr. C. C. Faries and wife, Mr. Jaines
B. \V<_mer, Mrs. S. F. Glascoe,
' Master Edward Denniston, Misses
I Mary Spallen, Marie McCarthy and
j Madge Martin.
A BIG LAND SALE.
Colonel Hiokettb Bought Lands* for a
Sony and Sold Them for Millions.
i WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 19
' Colonel R. Bruce Ricketts' famous
I battery at Gettysburg, does not
j care now who is the Democratic
j nominee for Governor of Pennsyl
j vania. After the war Colonel Ilick
j etts bought 50,000 acres of wood-j
I land on the mountains here for a
■ mere song. To-day he sold 40,000
'acres of it to an English syndicate
for S2B an acre, which makes him a
millionaire. Colonel Ricketts and
his attorney, ex attorney-General
Pa'racr, left for New York to-day
and will sail for London to-morrow,
where the}' will complete all ncgota
tions. It is understood that Colo
nel Ricketts will be elected
President of the English Company,
and that the timber will be cut and
sent to market.
When Colonel Ricketts returned
from the war he at once began to
buy up unsettled lands in Luzerne
and adjoining counties. He pre
dicted that the day would come
when these lands would be valuable,
but the day of fortune was so long
in coming that he was tempted sev
eral times to sell his possessions for
what he could get. Upon ,one oc
casion he was so poor that he could
not pay the taxes. Colonel B. K.
Jamison of Philadelphia then came
to his assistance, and tlije niillitary
man and the Philadelphia banker
have worked together, as Colonel
Jamison was of the same opinion as
Colonel Ricketts, that the time
would come when the timber on the
land would be in big demand and
must necessarily bring a big price.
Colonel Jamison has a strip of
land which starts at Fishing Creek,
Columbia county, and meets Rick
etts' dense forest of timber at Har
vey's Lake. Two years ago the
Lehigh Valley Railroad tapped
Harvey's Lake and Ricketts' land
tripled in value. He had an offer
to sell then,but declined. Experts say
the timber on it is the most valuable (
in the country. In Sullivan county
there are about 8,000 acres and in
Columbia county about 7,00t). liii
1866, when Colonel Ricketts first
began to buy up the land, it was a
dense wilderness, with bears, deer
and other wild game abounding.—
