H®POBLICi\!O LAPOBTK, PA., NOV. 13th, 1891. LOCAL DEPARTMENT; Sunday was a beautiful day. Thanksgiving day will oc.uir Thursday Nov. 26th. Thn Prohibition vote of either the county or State, is not very alarm ing. The party in the LaPorte Hall, on Thursday etening last, was a suc cess. Bradford county gave about her usual Republican majority, on the 3rd. But little interest is tak<»n in the proceedings' of the extra session, now adays. E. V. Ingham of the 'Mere, spent, several days in Philadelphia, last weett. Peter Albert of Cherry, was visit ing friend* at tlie county seat, Sun day. The people of Bradford county talk seriously of erecting a Court House at Trfty. Mr. Nheehnn of LaPorte town ship, lout a valuable horse, on Wed nesday of last week. Mr. J. W. Flynn of Jaminson City, was doing business at tlie county seat, Monday. The tree-' are exposing their naked limbs and the corn is very muclr shocked in consequence. That sheep running at large on the streets, looks somewhat forlorn. AVho owns it, any how ? Thos. E. Kennedy of Jamison City, was calling on his numerous friends, at LaPorte, Sunday. The Constitutional Convention wtis snowed under by one hundred and sixty thousand majority. Mrs. .Judge Mason, who has been on the sick list for some time past, made us a pleasant call, on Satur day. The Democrats of the county stoo I well by their ticket, regardless of what they were called en to swallow. P. M. Crossley accompanied by flis eldest daughter, Miiss Bertha, were shopping in Williamsport, (Saturday. Atty. F. 11. Ingham, was engaged in taking depositions in a divorce case, in the Western part of the county, on Monday. Several residents of the LaPorte tannery are being painted, among the number conspicuously appears P. W (lallagher's. The W. & N. B. telephone line, was removed from Judge Ingham's office to Dr. Hill's residence on Main St., last week. Henry Upm*n moved from Celestia to the LaPorte tannery recently, where he has accepted a position of James McFarlane & Co. On and after November 16th the train leaving Nordmontat 3:25 p. in. will leave at 3:20 p. m., and all other stations five minutes earlier than it now does. Mrs. A. M Cheney of LaPorte, will leave this Saturday, for Bitighumtoii, N. Y., where she will spend the winter with hor daughter, Mrs. 11. E. Tan Fleet. 1 • '1 The election returns of Sullivan countj-, were brought in very prompt on Wednesday the 4th. FoX twp., was the last heard from which ar rived at 1:30 p. m Several instruments of the La- Porte band have recently been re paired at the Diston works of Williamsport and have given ex cellent sftisfaction. J. Y. Rettenbury the world re nown jeweler aiid M M. Marks the one price clothier, both of Du«hore, have new ads in the REPUBLICAN this week. Read them. A certain specie of stone found on lhe mountains in Colley twp., near Lopez, are being manufactured into paint. Our people will rejoice to know that any part of our bowlders are of some us« to the community. Mr. and Mrs. John P.Kennedy of Jaminson City, came up to take I part in the dance, on Thursday evening of last week. Mr. Kennedy returned to the City, on Friday, and the Mrs. remained with friei>ds in town." She will return home the 1 litter part 'of the WMk. ' The Commissioners of Lycoming county, purchased the Market street bridge at Willinmsport and made it free of toll, on Saturday. It was a big da) at the Lumber City. Ninety-nine men out of every hun dred believe in their hearts lhat a day of judgment will come, and ninety-eight of them secretly be lieve that they will be overlooked in the jam. Rtissel Karns proprietor of the La Porte Hotel, has a new milch cow. She is a wild appearing critter, but Russ savs, sh<* is a Jim- licker. He purchased it of Conrad Kraus the butcher. The Republicans of Montour county, elected their county ticket. t)r. Samuel Y. Thomson was elected ; associate judge and Peter Harder I sheriff. The State ticket went 528 Democratic. Judge Mason of LaPorte, was I called to Scranton on Thursday last, where he was summoned as a witness in a land suit pending in the Lacka j wanna courts. He is expected to day (Tliur day). Several Democrats of Philadelphia have boen arrested for using forged tax receipts at the recent election. Among the list is an employe of the ' defeated democratic candidate for dity treasurer—Redwood Wright. A number of people of LaPorte assisted to raise a new baru for John Kosencrans in LaPorte twp., on Monday. Mr. R has erected this building in place of the one that was burned by lightning during the pa-t summer. 1 The constable of LaPorte, has been unusually busy, during the past few days. Several warrants have been served, but in a majority ol the cases the defendants have settled and left for parts unknown. The communi ty at large, welcome their absence. The people of Dushore, are agitat ing the grading of a race course in the vicinity of the matropolis of the t county. Mokoma Hiuhts would | afford the people of LaPorte a splendid site for a race course. Per haps t!ie best in the count)-, j The first case put down on the | December Trial list, is—Sullivan County vs Jacob ex-County Treasurer. The tax payers of our county can expect a hearing of this case at that time. The verdict what ever it may be, will be hailed with joy by the people. The First National Bank, of Ilugkesville, has declared another seuii-annual dividend of three per cent. This bank has been exceed ingly profitable. It has already paid $6,000 in dividends to its stock holders, besides carrying $4,000 to its surplus and profit account.— Hughcsville Mail. Thoe. Gorman of Limestone, N. Y., and who is in the employ of the I aPorte tannery, fell and broke his rignt leg below the knee some time ago. Dr. Herrmann of Dushore, set the broken limb and at this writing he is doing as well as could be ex pected. He is being looked after by Mr. and Mrs. llenry Horn, on Muncy street. The Prohi. vote of the State was between 23,000 and 25,000 on Tues day the 3rd, hence, they have just received the required three per cent of all the votes cast which will per mit iliem to place a ticket in the field next Fall. The number of votes required was 22,500 thus, it will be perceived that they only have a small margin over the re quired number. R. P. Woods Esq., railroad con tractor of Philadelphia, came up to look over the new and much talked of narrow »uaged railroad from Sonestown to Eagles Mere, on Thurs day. Mr. Woods spent Sunday with friends at LaPorte and ex pressed his usual good health and reports the Mrs. and daughter equally as fortunate. Mr. Woods and family have many warm friends in this locality. Lots about Lake Mokoma are selling quite leadily. We will be able to publish the names of the purchasers in a week or two. Up to the 15th of this month, which occurs lon Sunday, the stook holders have the preference and out-siders are barred from purchasing ; after this date however, tiie recent resolution permits uninterested parties to in- I vest when it is expected several , lawyers will be kept busy writing deeds. There is no place in the state where a good doctor is needed worse than right here in Dushore. If the right man would locate here he could have a good practice in six months time Dushore Revuic. Brother Newell seems dissatisfied with the Doctors at Dushore. It may be they don't understand his case. Better try a Veterinarian. The cost of the ballot booths to be erected agreeably to the pro visions of the new ballot law, which takes effect next year, will average about $8 each, and the total cost to the state will be nearly $200,000. The booths will be of steel. — Ex. It is reported that the short stretch of load, less than six miles, between the western terminus of the j Harvey's Lake R. It.and the soutb 'ern terminus of the State Line & [Sullivan will be built this winter, thus giving the people of Sullivan county a direct line to Wrlkes- Barre. Election week is hard on the printers. On Thursday last we | were kept at work until 10 p. m. mai'ing our list. , This was ca-ised |by a laf.e start owing to a desire of setting the official count of the be.l - lots cast on Tuesday as given by the I judges. Our table was very nicely gotten up for which we received ' many compliments. There are a number of pavements in town that are in bad condition and need prompt attention. The i Council should instruct the Street ! Commissioner to look after these | neglected walks and order the same repaired without further delay. We understand that petitions are being circulated to hasten repairs on Muncy St., and w.Il be presented to the Council at their next meeting. It is to be hoped that the Boro. dads will act promptly In this matter. Judge McCollom © Sou Ku ed. Charles McCollom, son of Justice McCollom, of the supreme court, who resides in Montrose, was killed in Philadelphia on Saturday. The young man attempted to board a moving passenger train, but slip ped and fell under the wheels. He was sixteen years of age, and had been attending school in Philadel phia. His body was taken to Mont rose for burial. Mrs. Martin Minier of llughes ville, and mother of the unfortunate Thomas Minier who was run over by the cars at Muncy Valley from which effects he died about three hours afterwards in the Williams port, Hospital, on Thursday the 29th of Oct., died at her home on Thurs day of last week. At the time of her 3on's death she was seriously ill and this sad news was too much for her to endure A. C. Jenkins the widely known and sincere Prohibitionist of Celes-! tia, received the election news in j excellent humor. In this respect he! differed quite materially from a few of his associates in this section Mr. Jenkins entertains the same idea about the success of his party j as does a great many of his neigh bors—that the Prohibition platform will never go into eflect during the! present generation. The residence of Henry Kolien-' sparger in LaPorte twp., took fire from a defective flue, on Friday, I morning, and had it not been for the presence of a pas9er-by the j building would have shortly been consumed in ashes. The observer; rushed into the house and with a 1 couple of pails of water extinguished the flames before any serious damage was done. The . men folks of the j house were absent at the time ami, Mrs. K. lay helpless on a bed ( with a broken limb. It was fortun ate that Mr. Karns of Benton, hap pened by just at that time. One of our exchanges comes to us with this statement: "It is said that limberger cheese laid in cup boards and lefrigeraiors will drive red aunts away." Drive rod aunts away, eh. Well, yes, we believe it, and from the brief acquaintance that I have with it I believe it would drive uncles and father and mother and sister and brother and the family cat and the neighbor's dog ana everybody else away, besides smothering the canary in its cage an I chocking the parrot on its perch. One minute —be- tween aunts and limberger give us a lodge in some vast wilderness. „ The notorious Eva Mann, whose entanglement with Robert Ray Hamilton recently attracted so much attention, appeared last week on the stage of a Philadelphia theatre in short skirts. It is rumored that after she has become accustomed to this abbreviated costume, her man ager will advance her one step further in the histrionic art and in case her in silken lights. Dr. Sine the well known Williams port dentist will (by special request) visit LaPorte Tuesday Nov. 17th, to remain until the 20th inclusive. While here he will be pleased to perform any and all operations en trusted to his care in as skillfull, and scientific a manner as could be ob tained in any cf the larger cit'es. Nineteen years experience in Phila delphia and other large cities is certainly an advantage that the peo ! pie of LaPorte and vicinity should ! avail themselves of. The new narrow-gaged railroad from Sonestowu to Eagles Mere, re cently survej'ed by Judge Mason, is pretty apt to be a sure go. Con tractor Woods of Philadelphia, was up looking over the ground last week which certainly indicates that the company means business. Mr. Woods is of the opinion, however, that the road could be built for less j money and be much better grade i from LaPorte to the 'Mere, and I thinks this route would he prefer able, were we assured of a connec tion of the L. V.and the W. & N. B. It was evidently noticed by our table last <veek, that George W.I I Simmons the Republican nominee for Jury Commissioner, was eleven votes less than the Republican State ticket. This undoubtedly was caused by an extra lot of tickets i printed with the name of Dunham anil Caseman on, which were re ! quested by Democrats who were desirous of voting Dunham. This ticket was evidently voted by eleven Republicans who supposed that they were voting straight. People can't he too cautious in observing the names of candidates on their; ballot. The result of the recent election | 'in Wyoming county is very flatter ing to the Republican party. She ! gave Gregg 357 majority and elected the entire Republican county ticket. Day, editor of the Wyoming Demo crat gives up the ghost, hence no rooster appeared at the top of his editorial column, as of yore. It would appear that the result of campaign in both Wyoming and Sullivan would make the judicial j contest which is to come otl in 1894 very uncertain. Sullivan's majority for Wright was 323 and Wyoming 357 for Gregg. It is fair to pre sume however, that the full vote, in either county was not polled. Mrs. Lewis, wife of Mr. Benjamin Lewis, who was recently drowned at Jaminson, was requested last week by citizens of the City, to look over her husband's papers in pursuit of a; life insurance policy, which they had understood he (Mr. Lewis) was in possession of. Several hasty ex aminations were made but with no avail. This, however, was not satis factory to those who had made the inquiry and extra assistance went to work and in a short time came across the missing paper. It was a! policy of $2000.00 which was made! payable to Mrs. Ann Lewis his wife,' at his death. This policy read there must be at least two premiums paid to insure a payment of the policy. This required another search for receipts of paid up premiums which also proved successful. The Insurance Company was then notifi ed and on Thursday last an agent of the Company was sent to Jami son and paid Mrs. Lewis the full amount of the policy less the amt. due Company for the three years last past on premiums. She received sl,- 055,10 which was welcomed by Mrs. Lewis and speaks a good word for the Penn Mutual Insurance Company as they could have avoid ed paying only in proportion of the premiums paid by Mr. Lewis, would have brought the amount re ceived by the Mis. down to $350.00 instead of the above figures. The Company's agent is now engaged in writing up policies at Jaminson and is doing a lively business. F. 11. Ingham of LaPorte wrote Mr. Lewis' tilicy.
