The people of LaPortc are not to be trusted judging from a remark , made by one of our business citizens. This remark alluded to was uncalled for and our people know from whence it came which will no doubt work injury to the business re pre staled by the so called "business citizen."

They give it the reputa tion which it enjoys, whether good or bad. Upon them is the toil and to them cornea the largest share of the results. The very life blood of the town is its citizens. If they be sluggish then the current upon which the town rests (lows slowly and painfully, but if they be active and pushing, with an increased pace it ilows rapidly on. CLEVELAND, July 3. —At 3 o'clock this morning, at Ravenna, Ohio, on j the New York, Lake Erie and Western railroad train No. 8, fast express, bound for New York, while staudiug at the depot awaiting orders, was dashed into from the rear by a freight. A day coach on the rear was completely telescoped and nineteen passengers killed and thirty-eight severely wounded. The coach and two sleepers forward took (ire and were soon consumed, burning many of the bodies so that they were almost unrecognizable. It has been a matter of consider able discussion in society circles as to the number of Free and Accepted Masons in the world. A recent is sue of the Free .Masons Journal, of New York, states that "there are in the world 15,000 lodges of Free Masons, and over 3,000,000 crafts men. The annual income of the fraternity is $25,000,000." Accord ing to the statistics complied by Sir Stephen Berry there are in the United States and Canada 051,028 affiliated Masons, 157,898 affiliated Chapter Masons, and 01,923 affiliat ed Knights Templars, 261520 Fifteen year at bard labor and solitary confinement in the Eastern Penitentiary was the sentence im posed upon the disgraced ex-Phila» delphia Treasurer, John Bardsley on Friday last and on Monday he was. quietly removed from his cell in Moyamensing prison to Cherry Hill where he will undoubtedly remain his life time as he is now in his 55th year. The Democrats in the south are expressing a fear that the Alliance movement may hurt them as an or ganization, and they are already j ttendng out appeals to their cohorts to stick to the old organization. It is like a Damascus blade that cuts both ways. In Democratic Georgia it weakens the dominant party of the state. In Republican Kansas it has a tendency to weaken the party that has the majority vote. Such divisions, however, are only tempor ary. The old parties are the forces to choose from. Here is a fact of more than ordi nary interest, which will bear repeat ing quite often: "Supervisors ol each and every township of this Commonwealth are by law required to maintain at the intersection of all public roads in their district, point ers or index boards, the same to be allixed to posts if trees are not con pointing out the name ol the town, village or place to which such roads lead, and the distance thereto in miles. Neglect to do so subjects the-siiper visors to a penalty of $lO. During tho afternoon of July 4th while Thos. Sheehun, Chas. Land on and Clarence- Youngman, were driv ing a spirited horse hitched to a cart down the Ingham hill, tho hip strap of the harness broke allowing the breeching to fall about the horse's feet. The animal sprang kicked and ran down the hill at a fearful gate throwing ail three occu pants out. Thos. Sheeban had one rib broken on the left side and his right side fearfully bruised, his head cut and limbs bruised. Chas. Land on received several cuts about the head but not dangerous. Young man escaped with a trifle bruise on his right arm. The horse ran to the tannery and near the barber shop the wheel of the cart struck Miss Linda Shatter daughter of Jos. Shaf fer of LaPorte twp., falling her to the ground striking her head on a sharp stone inflicting a fearful gash above the temple. The horse was caught near the store and not even a scratch could be found on him. The ill Is of the cart were broken and a few other minor attachments of the vdiical inissplaced. Dr. Waddell of Dushore, was immediately sum moned by telephone and skillfully did up the wounds of the unfortun ate. The editor of the Scranton People raises an interesting question. He says : "Last Sunday we saw a big Newfoundland dog coming out of a saloon with a pail of beer. The question arises: Did that saloon keeper violate the law iu selliug beer to the dog?" Unless the saloon keeper should plead guilty it would be dog-gone hard to establish that he sold any beer.—Echo. You oould bust define the law's intent, Could you kuow just where that doggie went. To dodge the law, 'tis very olear, The dog was sent out with the beer, Swear the dog by his lifted paw, He'll say the saloonist broke law, That he employed tho canine howler. To ptddie beer and rush the growler. The Pol ato Louse. A new insect has made its appear ance in some sections of the State, and for want of a better name it has been christened the "potato louse." It is a worse pest than the potato bug, for the bugs can be shaken off the potato stalks, but the louse can not. Paris green will kill tlje bug but this poison does not appear to have any effect on the louse. The farmers have tried many ways to get rid of the lous» but have not suc ceeded so far. The louse is very small, so small as to be hardly visible to the naked eye, and they cover the potato leaves so that scarcely any of the leaf can be seen. They eat the leaf and in a few days it will be withered. It does not take long for the insects to destroy acres of potatoes. Any one discovering a remedy t" kill this pc*t will do a blessing to mankind ONE DOLLAR is a hundred cents, and j'ou have a right to expect that value for it.
