wttttt for the beet interest Of llie

thought.

pathy of all, in their sad bereavement.
District Attorney Reilly of Ly
coming county, has come to the
conclusion that Stuart jumped of
the cars while moving and was
thrown over the embankment and
his neck broken. The insurance
policy found on Stuart's person, is
worthless, owning to non payments
of first premium, the time having
elapsed for said payment.
If young boys and girls could
only understand how happy it makes
their parents when they are doing
well and conducting themselves like
ladies and gentlemen, it seems to 11S
they would make a greater effort
than they do to avoid evil deeds and
acts. A greater part of the pleasure
in life to parents is found in the suc
cess and welfare of their Children
going out from their home, and
much misery is caused by way
wardness and misdeeds of sons and
daughters.

pected.

The Republican Conference of the
Seventeenth Congressional District
will meet at the Montour House, in

the purpose of electing two dele
gates to the National Convention to
be held at Minneapolis, Minn,, on
the 7th of June, 1892, and one per
son as Presidential Elector.
The several counties composing
the district are entitled to the fol
lowing representation in the Con
ference :
Northumberland county 5 Conferees.
Columbia County - - 4 Conferees.
Montour County • - 3 Conferees.
Sullivan County - - 2 Conferees.
W. C. FAKNSWORTH,
C haifmaii of Conference.
Sunbury, Pa., March 18, 1892.
The democrats of Sullivan county
are going to make it interesting for
the on lookers this fall The numer
ous candidates for the several of
fices will start the ball rolling early
in the campaign and by the time the
convention convens the fuse will be
consumed and a general explosion
will take place. Possibly old politi
cions will be pushed to the back
ground bleeding at the heait from a
thrust of a dager in the hands of a
supposed friend; while others will
be jolly. Notwithstanding the ex
treme of felling that will follow the
result, we bespeak, on adjoufruneut,
a good rush of business at cither of
our hotels.
It will be observed that our Lond
on dispatches are strougly tinctured
with war talk growing out of the
controversy over the claim of this
country to regulate the capture of
seals in the Behringsea. War may
be possible, but it is not at all prob
able, although it must- be admitted
great nations have got by the ears
before now on ui&ttera of far less
importance than the point in dis
pute. The position taken by Presi
dent Harrison will not be receded
from, and for the reason that it is
just, and if war follows it can be
charged at the door of England.
The administration will simply do
its duty and if Englaftd gets under
the wheels it will be her fault and
not curs.
Wall'D Body Stolen;
The discovery was made Tuesday
morning March 15th, by two farmers
who were walking through the ceme
tery on their way to work, that the
body of murderer Wall had been
stolen from the grave in Fxeter
tdwnsbip where it was enterred after
the execution. The ground in and
about the grave had been dug up
and hastily replaced by the body
snatchers whose efforts to cover
their tracts were very clumsy. It is
believed that the body is wanted
by several experts on brain dis
ease who wish to ascertain posi
tively whether or not the young
murderer was insane.
A It HI TAMKERV FIRM.
Proctor A Hill ol Greenwood
Have Acquirnl I'onrTauuerieg
Tills l'ear.
On Monday Messrs. Proctor &
Hill of Greenwood purchased the
Athens tannery of T. L. bmull, at
Athens, and have taken possession
of the same. Since the first of Janu
ary the firm has purchased a tannery
at Glade Run, Warren county;
another at Kirwinsville, Clearfield
county ; and built a tannery at Stony
Creek, Jefferson county, making
four in all that have been acquired
this year. The firm has done a big
business in the past, and evidently
inteuds to do a still larger one in
the future.
Tli* Keudiug Combine.
Corrcspontlbtit to Bloom Sentinel.
The petitions that are l>eing circu
lated to procure signatures, favor
ing the' Reading combine, state,
among other things, that the deal
will increase the price of wages.
The Times' article, several days ago,
which was widly quoted, said that
this control that the Reading rail
road had gained would cheapen the
price of coal to the consumers.
Now, then, if either or both of
these statements are true, it also
follows that this gigantic corpora
tion has the power to lower wages
and raise the price Of coal.
From the very nature of the com
bination, which do yoit think this
combine will do—lower the price of
co.il and raiHe the price of wages, or
r.iibe the price of coal and lower the
price ol wages.
We think this deal is unconstitu
tional and have every reason to be
lieve that the managers of the Read
ing Railroad have the same opinion,
pr they would not propose getting
around the letter of the law by run
ning these leased roads under their
original names with Philadelphia &
Reading Railroad, lessees, attached.
The conferring of so much power
in the hands of a few persons, or, iu
fact, of one man, is a dangerous step
for the citizens of Pennsylvania to
take, and the signing of the above
mentioned petition is certainly cut
ting one's nose off, while he is under
the inlluence of misrepresentations,
Combines, wlidn at the ''big end
of the horn," care very little about
the welfare of the people, and by
the aid of a subsidized press, they
find pliant tools to mould public
opinion in their favor.
It remains to be seen whether or
not the old Keystoue State will
sanction this unconstitutional rail
road combine.
I*l BIJC'VoTHi:
The undersigned viewers appointed by
the court to view and if practical vacate a
portion of the Cherry Run road, leading
from near Nordmont, up Cherry Run and
intersecting old road, on top of North
Mountain, will meet at Nordmont, on
Thursday March 81st, 1892 at 10o'clock A.
M., to perform the duties of their appoint
ment. Ail interested parties are requested
to be present.
