LAPOBTE, PA., OCTOBER 24tb, 1890. LOCAL DEPARTMENT A severe winter is predicted. The leaves are falling fast. The candidate are seen all along the line. Election one week from next Tuesday. Vote for Ezra S. Rinebold for Member. The roads about Lopez, arc some what neglected. Jos. Walburn of Lopez, was doing business at the county seat, on Tues day. Ezra S. Rinebold the Republican nominee for Member, is gaining ground daily. The rain during the early part of this week, was very discouraging to the candidate. Prom present appearances the Sauer Kraut crop promises to be a big one this season. John G. Holmes of Cherry, made us a very pleasant call while on his ■way to Glen Mawr, on Wednesday. We will publish a and give a biographical sketch Ezra S. Rinebold our candidate for Member, in our next week's issue. Jennings Bros., of Lopez, are building a large addition to their store property. Lawrence Bros., of Dushore, are doing the work. Miss Ida Keeler of centre Main St., has just received a large assort ment of Fall and Winter millinery goods. Ladies take notice. Atty. J. G. Scouten and deputy sheriff Mahaffey, both of Dushore, passed through the county seat early on Wednesday morning en-route for Williamsport. The Republican candidates for the county offices should receive the vote of every Republican because they are competent and deserving men. Mr. and Mrs. E. Y. Ingham left ?or Wysox, 011 Tuesday, where they will make a short visit. They will reside in Philadelphia during the winter. Ulysses Bird, as Auditor, has Veen tried and hr.s proven himself to be a good official. He w ill re ceive a rousing vote, on the 4th of November. Richard W. Bennett of near Eagles Mere, captured a large black bear in a steel trap last week. This is the second one caught by Mr. B. within the past few months. Four or five Prohibitionists of LaPorte, attended the Prohi meeting, addressed by John L. Tnomas, of New York, at Forksville, on Wednesday. They were all pleased with his sayings. Ezra S. Rtnebold is a pretty good looking old farmer. His portrate in the REPUBLICAN next week will be to his interest as there are many in the county who have never smiled upon his countenance. Lycoming county's share of the .judicial contest is $14,616. The state pays ST,OOO making $21,000 as the total cost. This is about ono half of the amount predicted by sev eral of our Lycoming exchanges. Mr. P. Kennedy proprietor of Hotel Kennedy, white engaged in the loft of his barn, on Thursday last iell through a hole in the floor and broke one rib and bruised his side quite badly. He is so as to be around. Every Republican voter in the county should cast his vote on the 4th of November ior Delamater, Watres, Stewart and the whole local ticket. They are all excellent men and represent the trtiC principles of our grand old party. John P. Kennedy of the firm of Deegan & Kennedy of Lopez, was visiting friends at the county seat, Sunday and Monday. Mr. Ken nedy is numbered among the best and most industrious business men of Lopez and has hosts of friends wherever known. Thos. Farrell of Dnshore, who was among the dissatisfied Republi cans over a part of the nominations of our convention, declared himself for the full ticket, on Saturday. There are but few Republicans throughout the county who will not support the full ticket. They have concluded to stand by the voice of tb« convention. The young men who for years squandered their dollars in purchas ing Louisiana lottery tickets will now hare a chance to invest in mar riage licenses—another kind of a lot tery ticket. Christopher Penle, Jr., and wire of Eagles Mere, were guests of a wedding at Philadelphia on Wed nesday of last week. The contract ing parties were summer guests of the Allegheney House of which Mr. | Pcale is proprietor. The Republican county candi- I dates arelgaininsi fvi'onds every day | and the voters of Sullivan'will make Ino mistake in electing tlicm to of fice. All arc men of business ex- j periencc and well qualified in every j way to acceptably fill the otlices to which they aspire. Ezra S. Rinebold will represent Sullivan county at Harrisburg iti an | intelligent aiul faithful manner elected to the Legislature next j November. He is art energetic and j honorable business man.and one in j whom our people can safely trust their interests at the State Capital. During the past few weeks we liaVe been called away from homo more or less and have devoted but little attention to the columns of our! paper. After the people have de-j cided the issue of the day, we shall goto business and shall not! leave our door yard for months to : come. We are anxious for the of- j ticial count when all will be put to , rest. Several of our town people were in attendance at the Bloomsburg Fair lust week and pronounce hosts of people in attendance and a splen did exhibition. Jerry Deegan of Lopez, who was a spectator, said it wn9 the largest gathering of people he has witnessed since he served in the war. Twenty-five thousand tickets were sold on Friday. Mrs. Judge Ingham and Miss Ettie Lauer, of LaPorte, were elec ted delegates of the LaPorte Non Partisan W. C. T. U., to the State convention which convened at In diana, Pa., on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. They took the train at Nordinont on Monday and expect to remain at Indiana until the con vention adjourns. Samuel Cole the Republican nomi nee for Treasurer is so well known throughout the county that it is useless to say more in his behalf. His business abilit}' is acknowledged by all to be excellent and his honest straight forward walk through life has made him hosts of friends, who will rally to the polls and give liiin their supportjiii November. In our age improvements follow so fast upon one another that 110 sooner is a patent granted for an invention than the next day it is superseded by something better. Now we hear of a new gun which uses carbonic acid gas for an ex plosive, which has a pressure of 500 pounds to the square inch and so cheap that 250 bullets can be fired for a penny. All of the new States are going Republican. Idaho has followed Wyoming, with 2500 majority, a Republican member of Congress and two Republican U. S. Senator*. In nearly every county the Republican gains were heavy. All of the recent elections show that the farmers ap preciate the fact that the McKinley bill is more to their interest than any measure ever adopted. Mr. A. H. Marr of Eagles Mere, who represents the head of the Pro hibition party of Sullivan conntv, was engaged in working for his chosen principles in the Western districts last week. Mr. Marr is sincere in his convictions and takes pleasure in bringing betore (he peo ple in a convincing way, his chosen political position. This sincerity of Mr. Marr of his party principles, is winning for him many friends throughout the county. Robert Simmons son of Geo. W. Simmons of Sonestown, was married to Miss Lizzie Keeler, daughter of Mr. P. 11. Keeler of near Nordmont, on Thursday Oct. 16th, Rev. S. Mummy officiating. The ceremonies took place at the home of the bride and was wi messed by many friends of the contracting parties. The happy couple have the best wishes of the REPUBLICAN together with a large score of friends in this section of the count v. Samuel Cole the Republican nomi- I nee for Treasurer, is an excellent young man and would make a model ofllcer. Ex-Senator Emery has been | weighed in the balance and found ! wanting. Ilis promised revelations i have dwindled away to nothing. Senator Delamater steadily rises in j public estimation as the canvass pro gresses, the reaction of the charges without any foundation benefiting him materially. ■> « In Chicago Pittsburg and Balti more steps are in progress to build large tin plate plants. If we can within the next ten years manu ' facture all the tin plate we cotisumei |we shall keep $20,000,000 at home annually to distribute among our own workmen. This is the result of the McKinley bill, just passed in I Congress. • Our next Governor, George Wal lace Delamater, visited the city of Bradford the home of Emery the X. Y. and Z., man last week and was greeted by one of the largest politi cal gatherings ever gazed upon in that section. He denied the charges made by Emery and was cheered in j the extreme by the enthusiastic; crowd. When Emery's name was' mentioned it was hissed, which in - 1 ferred that he is a reptile of the lowest type. Poor Emery. A number of middle aged men of Lopez anticipate tho organization of an old bachelor's club at said place. Among those who will take a prom inent. part in the welfare of the new encampment are : C. W. Iliggens, who i > the largest stock holder in the kindling wood factory; Prank Rice, the genteel and good looking clerk of Jennings Bros.; E. P. Kestcr the druggist and Henry Castle also clerk in the store of Jennings Bros. The boys will furnish a room with tin' latest patern. Pins, needles and pantaloon, buttons will be ordered by the gross and the first member of the club guilty of wearing pantv loons minus a button will be fined according to tho offense caused by the vacancy of the same. The clu'i is made up of moral ar.d good young men of the age of 30 respectively and Ave bespeak many pleasant evenings enjoyed by the old ''bache lors." At every intersection of roads in the county sign-boards should be placed, directing travelers which way each road leads and the distance to the nearest \illage or town. Nothing is more confusing to a stranger than to come to the meet ing of two, three or four roadways, and no guide-board pointing in di rection which he should continue his journey. And what is more, there is a law upon our statute books requiring supervisors to erect such sign-boards, under a penalty for neglecting to do so. That law should lie rigidly enforced. He Was a Jumbo Indeed. Last Saturday afternoon a man weighing 616 pounds passed through Harrisburjj on his way to Washing ton, D. O. A circular told his weight and it gave him the name of "Jumbo." He was too large to move himself, and he was lying flat on his stomach in the baggage car. It required the combined efforts of nine men to lift him on a truck and transfer him to the Washington train. A great crowd of people gathered around the ear to see him. —Ex. A. Cold Winter Predicted. The mean tempature ofSeptcmber was below normal this year and there are signs, nieteroloyists toll us, thai the coming winter is not to have the ethereal mildness of the last. Dr. M. A. Weder, who has made a speci alty of sun spots, auroras and mag netic storms, is convinced that a winter of some severity is in store for America. He bases his passage upon the slight increase of auroras noticeable this autumn. It has i been observed that these electric discharges in the upper air coincide with disturbance'* of our atmosphere that invariably produce cold. The appearance of Northern Lights at this season has been followed in many previous years by cold weath er, and the prediction of a severe winter may be taken as reasonable. A winter of uniform frosty weather \vould be a welcome novelty.-— Ex. A VERDICT OF $3,000 RENDERED. Agniriet The Borough of Shnmokin A Jaw suit that is of interest to every borough in the State has just been decided in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania against the town of Shamokin. It would be well for the authorities of LaPortc to take heed and warning by the result. In 1888 Mrs. Robinson, who lives on Shamo kin street, urShamokin, wanted to put down a new sidewalk in front ot her property. She applied to the Council, and the borough regulator gave her a grade and down went the pavement, ller next door neighbor. John Weir, had his pavement down and after Mrs. Robinson's was in place it was nine inches higher than Weir's. This made a high step and j the Council notified Weir to raffle his side walk. Weir paid no atten tion to the notice and Council did not move in the matter after notify ing him. In May, a few Week's after Weir had been notified, [Mrs. Mary Reddy came walking alonar Mrs. Robinson's side walk one | dark and gloomy night, and when j | she reached the end where the step | of nine inches dropped her to Weir's! j sidewalk she fell and broke her t | right arm. Her husband employed l .two attorneys, Messrs. Ryon and! i Mahan to bring two suits against the town of Shamokin. One for the in- i | juries she had received from tliei j broken arm, and the other from the / j loss he had sustained by reason of | j losing her service while the arm wasj getting well. Messrs. Boyer, of j Snnbury, and Gillespie, of Shamo kin, appeared for the borough. In j March, 1889. the suit for damages the wife had sustained, was tried be [forejudge Rockfeller, and after a! I stubborn contest the jury rendered a' ! verdict of $1,207 in favor of Mrs. ! Reddy. In May following the hus-t j band's suit came up for damages he | : had sustained through the loss of' | her services and Mr. Reddy got a ; verdict of $912. The case was then taken to the Supreme Court byj I Messrs. Foyer and Gillespie and j argued there in full. The court of |last resort rendered their decision! j on Monday, sustaining Judge Rocke-J ! teller and the borough will have to jpay. The whole sum with the costs amount to SBOOO. The ground taken !bv the Supreme Court was that [after the council had given Weir [notice to lix his sidewalk and he did j not do it, it was their duty to make I him do so at once, and their failing to do this made them liable for the damages. Anothflp Boomerang. From tho Towanla Republican. Canton, Pa., Oct. 9, 180 ft. To THE Argvs: —You ask mc if 1 intend to vote for Pattison for Gov ernor. I say no, a man that will not protect the boys that fought to save tins country, ought not to be called a citizen, nor owned by the Almighty. He is a trator to his country, and contaminates the air which he breathes. Your man Pattison has done nothing but insult the soldiers. Say, just read his record, he will read his own record by the light of Indes a thousand years after the Judgement day. I will not vote tor Pattison: 1 will help bury hiui away in the woods, In a beautiful hole in the ground, WHere the wood pecker pecks, and the bumblebee bums. And the straddle bug straddles around. SOLDI EH. The Reporter-Journal and the Tcnoanda Republican both, give some very strong reasons in their last week's issue, why the Republi cans of Bradford county should vote for their regular nominees. For our part we can not perceive how men with a spark of republican principles in their souls can vote the dictations of that sheet called the Argus, which has during its ex istence degraded the Republican party of Bradford county to its ut uost extent. It is to be hoped by tlie believers of republicanism that there is no truth in the predictions <if the Argus that a good portion of the Republican party of Bradford tounty, will vote the fusion ticket. iYe have every reason to believe that the Cheney element of both North Orwell and East Smithfield will Stand firm for the regular nominees >f the good old Republican party.
