But shrewd political observers will I have little faith in tliesG predictions. Th£y will rather agree with Senator Gorman, of Maryland, who in an interview printed Snturdav morning said : "As for the results in Massa chusetts, lowa, etc , I do not care to I hazard any speculations. Pennsyl vania went Democratic a year ago. Ohio went Democratic two years ago. Both went Republican 011 I Nov. 3, and unmistakably Republi j can. It would be premature, I think, and unwise, to base any speculations for the rote of 1892 on this year's I vote in certain Republican States." A whole year remains in which either one or both parties can do much to the applause or the disappioval of the pcoole. It must be apparent also to anyone who studies the re sult of the elections of the past three years that the voters are scrutiniz ing very closely the policies, methods and management of the different parties, and are casting their bal'ots more and more according to the dictates of their own judgment. If the Republicans recognize this tact, and by their course recommend themselves to the good sense and unbiased judgment of the country, they will need to have no fear of winnirg in next year's Presidential contest. But if they do not, the re sult will not be pleasant for them to contemplate after the balloting is over. A FAITHLESS WIFE. Causes Ciforgc Cooper in Pull a (■llll 011 Her l.ovcr. George Curias. Fium tlie Eln-iia Telegram. Wednesday night the fifth ward, of this citv, was stirred up from center to circumference by a shoot ing affair. George Cooper, an em ploye of the Northern Central, as brakeman 011 a freight train, is about thirty-three years of age. lie is married and resides at No. 558 Franklin street, in a house owned by George H. Cariss, yaidmaster ot the Northern Central. For some 1 time past Cooper has suspected that his wife was unfaithful to him. He was constantly on the lookout for something which might lend him to the discovery of the person who had won his wife's affections. This man he says he discovered 011 Tuesday night. It was his intention to be away that right but he delayed going. About 11 o'clock he la}- on his wife's bed down siairs. The light wa* lit. His wife was up stairs. About this time he heard Ithe ,-lats of the blinds of his window move and also hea-d some pebbles or other missle strike- against the window, lie did not dare move much for fear of making a noise. How ever he glanced out of the window and he savs tlift light shown 011 the !face of George Cariss. Mr*. Cooper undoubtedly fearing to arouse her husband's suspicions did not an swer the signal. Cooper nut beiug fully satisfied as to the identity of his man resolved upon a little strategy. Yesterday he made his trip as usual, returning at 3:45 o'clock in the afternoon. lie went to Trainmaster Fitch, of the Central and obtained a pass to a town in Pennsylvania where he was to see about some property, lie also asked Yaidmaster Cariss for a short leave of absence. This was readily grant ed by the yaidmaster. Cooper boarded a Central train, but when he was some distance south of the city got ofl and returned to the vicinity of his home to await develop roanls. He says Cariss soon came alonz and walked past the house a number of times. Cooper's sister and mother also live in the house, and he was waiting for them to it tire. About 10 o'clock they did so. When the lights were out Cariss made his way to the rear of the house. Before many minutes Mrs. Cooper came out in her stocking feet, and proceeded to an out house, followed by Cariss. After 'hey had been there about live minutes Coop er, taking off his shoes, walked to ward where they were. They must have heard him for they emerged from the building to meet face to face with Cooper, who held a large forty-four caliber Winchester re volver iii big hand. He pointed it at Cariss, exclaming, "I have caught you at last!" Cariss dodged and started to run. Cooper fired alter him six limes in succession. At the shot Cariss staggered, but did not fall. Cooper did not follov* him, and he was lost in the diirkness. Cooper then locked his wife in the house and coming out met Officer .John Twoomey. Captain Hartigan, Officers Kelly and Twoomey made a search for Cariss and found him in his own house, No. 554 Franklin street. When questioned he ad mitted being with Mi's. Cooper in the reai' of the yard, but claims he entered no building with her, but was simply having a triendly con versation. He also admits the firing of the shots by Cooper, who was undoubtedly excited, which probably accounts for Carisg's not being wounded. Tl'e case will un doubtedly excite much attention, as the parties are well known in the local railroad ciieles. Cooper is a former resident of Western Sullivan and is well known throughout the county. Tl.e maiden name of Mrs. Cooper was—Miss Lucy Mclntire. step-daughter of Tlios. King of Elkland twp., Sullivan county. Jamison City, J J a., A r ov C, '9l. AFit. EMOKY R 111 RR, Spec Ag't.'Penn Mutual Life Ins. Co.' MY DEAR SIK : —1 beg to extend my heartfelt thanks to you and your Company, for the prompt pay ment of my claim under Policy No. 41618, held by my late husband, lienj. Lewi's, who was killed on Oct. 21st. while working on a log drive a short distance above this place. Indeed 1 was not aware I had a claim against the "Penn Mutual" until you came to niv home to make out the proof's of loss, as niv hus band had not paid his premium since Dec. 15th IMS', but thanks to your liberal policy contract, the Ins. was still in force by reason of your "Extension Feature," unit now \on pay nie the full amount of the Ins. &2000, less the three premiums my husband neglected to pay. This money is a ''God-send" to me iu my present trouble, and saves my home at Hills Grove, Pa., which I would otherwise have lost, not being ahle to pay the mortgage held against it. I would urge all mothers to persuade their husbands to insure in the "Penn Mutual" as lam satisfied it is one of the best Co.'s in ihe busi ness. Again thanking you and your Co. I am very great fully your's, MRS. ANN LEWIS. Terrible Storj- From Tennessee. NASHVILLE, Nov. 10.—The peo ple here are crying for water. The inhabitants on the outskirts of the city are in a pitiable state. "Water, water; Oh God, give us water!"' shouted 200 women who huddled around a small spring yesterday in West Nashville. Nothing like it has ever been experienced in the South before. For whole days some families have gone without cooking, buying food already pre pared. Water for drinking pur poses has to be hauled two miles, and ulcers arc breaking out in the parched mouths of those who have to beg for water. Certain misers in the city who have springs near the outskirts are charging enormous sums lor one draught of the precious fluid The sick, who are forced by fever to use water, are in awful agony because of the famine. Well to-do women hare to walk a mile or more with buckets on their heads and beg water of their more fortun ate neighbors. A slight rain fell yesterday and troughs, barrels and tubs were set out to catch tlie drops. WILKES-HARUK, NOV. 10.—Anoth er sad episode in connection with Sunday's terrible explosion at No. 1 shaft in Nanticoke, occurred this afternoon in the death of Mrs. W. J. Williams. On Sunday evening her husband was Kflled in the mine. Yesterday her son, her only support, died of injuries received at the same time. The wife and mother grieved so much that she gradually sank and died this afternoon of a broken heart. Two more victims are in a pre carious condition and will probably die before many liours. The funei' als of ail the dead miners will take place to-morrow afternoon. LEGAL ADVERTISING. QOIJUT PROCLAMAI ION. WHRRF.As HON. J. A. SITTSBR, President Judge, Honorable* Robert Taylor Jr. and E.
