At a meeting of the Sullivan coun ty Democratic Standing Committee, held in the Court House, on Friday of last week; Ambrose Farrell of Lopez, was elected delegate to the National Democratic Convention, subject to conference, with power to choose his own conferees. Mr. Farrell was also elected delegate to the State Convention. There was no resolutions passed, hence, .Mr. Farrell goes to conference unin structed. It strikes us that Lopez captured all of the honors, but with Mr. F arrell the representative, Sulli van Democracy will be well looked after in convention. The Benton Argus reached our table, on Saturday April 2nd, and is "chuck" full of interesting news. The Argus is well edited and the make up of the paper convinces the reader that no pains has been spared to make it first class in every re spect. Our Bloomsburg exchanges will have to devote a trifle more time to the appearance of their paper, or else take a back seat. The Argus is Democratic in princi ples, owing to the fact, that for years, yes, for thirty years, well ever since the war, a Republican paper would not pay expenses iu that section of Pennsylvania. A Democratic paper in Columbia coun ty, is appreciated just as much as a Democratic paper is appreciated in the State of Mississippi. The peo ple of Columbia county are right good people, but the majority of polities down there, arc too fearful to contemplate. Judge Niltver't* UeclMion, lu the Case of Sullivan County vn Ex-Tr«anurer Jacob Lorali. FII.KD IK THE PROTHONOTA.KYB OFFICE TUESDAY, AFHIL 5. SULLIVAN COUNTY ) 63, Feby. Term 1891. va > Appeal from JACOB LOBAH, ) Auditor's Report. Being of opinion that Jacob Lortih should have credit for the sums paid to the Treas urers of the Townships, we direct a judg ment to be entered on the verdict in favor of Sullivan County for eight thousand and twenty-six dollars and forty-six-cents with interest from the date of the filing of the auditor's report. BY TUE COURT JOHN A. SITTSER, P. J. The above ruling of Judge Sittser in the case of Sullivan County vs Jacob Lorah, is looked upon by our people as being a fair and impartial decision of the long pending litiga tion. It is to be Loped that Mr. Lorah will make immediate pay ment of the judgment. Unless this is done, the County Commissioners will proceed to collect at once. With this decision of the Court, the County Commissioners, are, for the first time placed in a position to take proper steps to proceed to col lect of Jacob Lorah the amount due the Count)'. There has been much fault finding by the tax payers, of the slowness of the county officials, hut what could the Commissioners do until a verdict had been given in the matter ? Now, that this has been reached the Commissioners will proceed to do their part. Collector Cooper of Philadelphia, on April 2nd, appointed Henry K. Lathy to the position of Special Deputy in the Custom House to fill the vac&ncy occasioned by the resig nation of Ellery P. Ingham, who on April Ist, assumed the duties of his new office, United States District Attorney. Mr. Lathy who assumes the duties of Special Deputy, the most important position in the Custom House after that of Cob lector, has been chief of the Esti mating Division and Acting Deputy Collector. He has been in the Cus tom service since 18(»9, when he en tered the Custom House as a elerk. His appointment, therefore, is in the direct line of civil service rule, lie was born in Clarion county, but has beeu a resident of Philadelphia, for many years. In the case of the Emery Lumber Company vs John Campbell; "Hill in Equity," to restrain John Camp bell from injuring or interfering with the splash dam on premises of James H. Campbell in Pox town ship—Judge Sittser lias filed an opinion in which he modifies the in junction heretofore granted in the ease so that John Campbell is merely restrained from cutting or injuring dam. The Judge holds that the statements by John Campbell to Jas. 11. Campbell, that lie had the contract for running the logs for the Emery Lumber Co., though false, was not to fraud upon Jas. 11. Campbell and so did not vitiate his contract. —»» » Paper is now being made fire proof, and is extensively used in the construction of d veilings.
