the ladies are on our side. If you
don't believe it Rutter, request of
some lady of llughesviUe, to get
astride of a bicycle and ride down
Main street. Then, in your next
issue give us the rcsultof your meet
ing,and if you are not convinced that
you arc "made" to lake the part of a

day of last week, fell off the side
walls and broke cnc bone about one
inch above the wrist joint and dis
located the other bone at tbe joint
on her left arm. The bone broken
extended out through the flesh, and
was a heart rendering sight to wit
ness upon an old latly of her age -
Her son, Ed was close at hand when
the accident happened and carried
her into the house and summoned
Dr. Hill, who, with the as
sistance of T. J. Keeler set and
bandaged the limb. Mrs. Dunham
suffered much pain the night of the|
accident and on Wednesday follow
ing, but at this date seems to be
slowly on the mend. Mrs. D. is
the oldest resident of LaPorte, she
will be 79 years old on the Ist day
of September next. The walk from
which she fell, is not more than 6
inches high, and the ground where
she fell free of stone. Her

The important matter of tho ex
ceptions filed by Bodine & Warn to
the account of Mrs. Sarah S. Gower,
adm'rx. of Geo. Gcwer, late of
Sonestown, Pa., dee'd. and which
had been referred to H. T. Downs, as
auditor, has, we are informed, been
amicably adjusted between the
p irties interested. There has been
several hearings before the auditor in
this case, and the final one was lixed
for Tuesday last; but owing to the
amicable settlement between the ac
countant and the exceptants, of
which the auditor was notified by
counsel for both parties on Monday
last, there will be no further hearing-
The terms of settlement we hear are,
that the administratrix pay the ex
ceptants the full amount of their
claim ; that she pay the auditor's
fees and court costs ; and that each
party pay their own witness fees.
Albert Hetzel of near Scranton,
and who has been i eeling bark at
Mehoopany for a few weeks, put up
at Hotel Kennedy Tuesday night,
and about 11:H0 p. in. rushed down;
stairs partly dressed and exclaimed |
tint some person or persons had
robbed hiui of his money. F. W.
Gallagher, burgess, and Chief of
l'olice, F. M. Crossley and others,
were present at the hotel when the
fellow made his appearance. Mr.
Kennedy requested Mr. Crossley
to search the stranger which he did,
finding $1.35 in Ins pantaloon
pockets. Mr. Kennedy was not
satisfied with this and requested the
searching party togo to his room
and examine the remainder of bis
clothing, where the)- found sl4.
hid away in his shoe, Hetzel was
taken to jail on a charge of black
mail. On Wednesday, he was dis-
by the burgess after paying
Stewart, Chase, keeper of the jail,
SI.OO for services rendered.
The stranger who had been
drinking says ha has no rec
ollection of the matter, while
others are of the opinion that the
attempt to carry the idea of robbery,
was to compel Mr. Kennedy to pay
to him the amount he claimed
he had lost rather than let the public
know of the charge in his hotel.
"I am a Protectionist because I
am an American,"says ex-Congress
man 13. W. Perkins, of Kansas.
"We should have Free-Trade among
ourselves because we honor one flag
and are citizens of a common coun
try. But the man who builds no
house here, who pays no taxes here,
who employs no labor here, who
does nothing to contribute, to our
growth and to our prosperity; but
who lives abroad beyond the oceans,
whence he desires to bring his pro
ducts, either farm or manufactured,
into ttiis great American market in
competition with ours—he should
pay for the privilege ; and when he
has paid for the privilege we will
cover the money into the Treasury
of the United States, and with it we
will cancel our obligations and
carry on the concerns of the govern
ment. And 1 would do this in tbe
name of patriotism and my country
because I believe it right. 1 '
