H. T. Downs' horse going to tlio tannery with tin upset load oftitj without a driver. The facts as we have them are that Mr. Downs had driven his horse and cart out ! side the gates of his residence on i Muncy st., and had loft the horse's head close to a maple shndo tree in j front of the house, to eloso the gates ; i ilio horse started before Mr. Downs had tho reins in his hands, and in turning on the street, the off side wheel of the cart ran over a boul der, placed as a protection to the slnu'e tree, while tlio wear side wheel sank into the drain at the side of the street—this causing the cart to slow ly upset onto its near side wheel. The horse walked along as far as Mr. Grim's, when feeling the shaft against his flanks, as also hearing the unusual rattle behind him, started oir and followed the direct course down Muncy, Main ami Thome streets, to the hitching post at the Tannery Company's store, when he stopped. Luckily no one was in the rood, aud no teams were encountered the whole distance. The cart was damaged some: the spring broken, the lazy back knocked off, one lamp br >ken ofl and the mud fenders broken oil. The horse got a bad cut on his near side heal, and the hair badly knocked off its flanks.The horse did not kick or run hard, and stopped at his usual place at the tannery. Several persons who saw the occurrence from their bouses, s:iy the horse could have been easily stopped at any point. The immense cloud ot dust raised by the dragging of the cart on the side, made the affair appear worse than it really wft?. No one was hurt, for which all are thankful. The horse is turned out to pasture, an 1 is doing well- At this writing all swelling and lame ness are gone. The cart was taken to E Igar's carriage shop at Sones town, for repairs on Monday last, by one of Charley La tier's teams. Hugh O'Donnell the ring master of the Homestead strike was re leased in SIO,OOO bail from the Pitts burg prison on the charge of mur der, last Monday. On Mr. O'Don nell's return to Homestead lie ex pressed himself as more than willing for the men togo to work on most any agreement with the Company. Hundreds of non-union men are ar riving at Homestead daily and the strikers see that it is either one of two things —look elsewhere for employment or except the prices dictated by the men who own the plant. Two coaches of the \Y. /i N. B. railroad were thrown oIT the track near Straw bridge, on Saturday even ing. The accident was the result of a cow slipping down the embankment and falling on the track between the engine and coach. Thenars were filled with people enroute for La Porte and the 'Meres fortunately, however, not a single person sustained the slight est bruise. The engineer proceeded to Sonestown where he hooked 011 a couple of flat cars and returning to the place of accident transported his i guests to their destination. The mishap caused the train to be two j hours late at Nordmont. Rev. C. A. Brewster of Phila lel-j phia, held divine service at St. John's 1 Episcopal church here, last Sunday afternoon.

NlrniKlli ol Swimming- The nr twop erloda in lie year when 'Tenths bv drowning are frequent ly recorded : December, when skat, ing begins, nnd June, when «*vim ining-tlmo has come. It is well for boys to bear in mind that ft human being in deep water has no great amonnt of strength over and above what is necessary to I keep hia own head above the sur j face, and ttint il u:av mean two vic tims instead of one if lie tries to save from drowning a person heavier than himself, or one who will cling to hi in and impede his action. The strongest swimmer cannot cany in the water more than a very few pounds, and that but a short dis tance. When he has plunged into tiio water with all his clothes on, perhaps a pair of high boots on his feet, and a dozen pieces of motal in his pocket, he must be a strong man to render much help to another. We advise health}' boys and girls to improve all good opportunities not merely to learn to swim, but acquire strength and confidence in the water. Our swimming teachers very sensibly require their pupils to be now and then in a complete suit of old clothes, including a pair of high boots, that they may know how it feels to be in the water thus equip ped, and how to get rid ot some of their garments. A person who has bathed encumbered thus will get an idea how much aid he could render to a drawing person. It is a mistake to over-bathe, and in this particular there is a curious difference between one person and another. Of two brothers, both in apparently equal health, one can bathe ever}' day with advantage, while the other will discover that it is best for him to keep out of the water except on hot days, and then not to stay in more than fifteen min utes. In this, as in all other athletic exercises, zael should be tempered with prudence. Following are a few extracts of a letter received by the IIKPUBLICAN* froin the pen of Mr. A. 11. Marr of KaglesMere. We think the advance ment good and would urge that our Republican friends of the county and district consider the nomination ol Mr. Huckell for our Congressman: •'As it is ever holder's right to 1 take an interest in politics; I have been doing a little thinking on that | subject. Ido not mean to put my | self forward or to be at all officious I in the affairs of the party, and sim ; ply write as an individual to give a few thoughts on the Congressional | nomination. The Democrats of : Northumberland county nominated Wo'verton, and he will of course re ceive the district nomination. Mr. Wolverton is hand and glove with I the corporations, a leading attorney for t>io Heading railroad, and di rector in others. During the c #n sideration of the bill in thi- Con gress, in which the farmers of this district were so much Interested, ln» was absent, attending to the legal business of the Reading combine, receiving pay from the people for neglecting their interests nnd also receiving pay from the railroad for working in a matter of doubtful good so far as the public are concerned. Now it seems to mo we working people might, rally irrespective <>f party around the tight man, against the representative of monopoly. I think the chances of electing our man equal with") the Democratic party since the farmers are taking so much interest in fair and honest poli tics and I for one, a tiller of the soil would like to see the Republicans of Sullivan nominate a min like Mr. 1). T. Iluekell ft >r our representative in Congress. In fact I think he would be an admirable man at this juncture :>nd might be able to poll an astonishing vote." fr'wUlltl lleu'l KrJMs Slid Will U lulled I t i11,.11, ' • • lite liuMll WliUtl HIU til* wmb on the II enj • I ,k> i'i>iiii< e I tun with lliu Vslh » s < Is ieli f| Lll|S |.na Nnhfuiluil h It f'l" # M I Frlek. Sliol Twice uuil Slaiibctl in His I'rivulo Oillce PlTTSnuito, July 14.—Henry Clay Frick, chairman of the Carnegie Steel Company, Limited, was shot twioe and. slabbed in his private r>f- Gce at M5 Saturday afternoon l>y Alexander Berginann, a An nrchisl from New York, I,ll;e Nor cross, tltc fiend who failed to kill Buesel Sago ami i x oiis.hocl himself, the would bo assassin of ihu Pitts burg millionaire! manufacturer, car ried dynumiie with him in the shape of cartridges. They were small lint large enough to kill, and while being photographed in the central police station in the afternoon the m:in tried to commit suicide in a horrible manner. He was caught in tlie act of chewing a cartridge and it was quickly taken from him. Chemists wonder how an explosion was averted. Bergmann purchased a | new light summer suit, almost snow white, before he committed the deed. He made the purchase at a Fifth avenue store, one block distant from the Chronicle Telegraph building, in the second story of which the Carnegie offices arc located. Burk- Dian evidently expected to secure an uidience with Mr. Frick because of liis neat appearance, and lie suc iceded. MR. FRICK UNOAUBDED, For three days after the terrible 'iot ot July C Mr. Frick was guard ed by detectives, but since tli.it time je has evidently not feared an as sault. lie was sitting in his private jflico when the colored messenger innounced that a well dressed young man desired an interview. Mr. Krick granted the request and Burk lian entered. A moment later a pistol shot and the sound ofa scuttle ueated a panic in the office and nade every cleric's face whiten with ear. Two more shots and Mr. Prick's shouts for help brought hem to their senses and they rush id to the rescue. Mr. Frick was grappling with his assailant, whose mow white clothes were red with ilood from the millionaire's hands. Mr. Friek pummeled the man until ic fainted from loss of blood. TIIE ASSASSIN' CAUGHT. The assassin made a rush for the ■levator, which had just stopped on he second tloor, but there his pro gress was stopped by a dozen hands, ind he was held until the police ar rived. Inside and outside there was remendous excitement and coll usion. Mr. Frick was saturated villi blood, so were the carpets and urnitiire. Messengers and the elephone were hurriedly used to iiing physicians. Outside tiicavo me was blaok with several thousand nen, women and children, and the isual big throng of Saturday afler loon shoppers. A btg mob of poo >!e followed the prisoner to the Cen tal I'olico Station. He prcsonted in awful and gory sight. E N*C'OV It A< IE M E N'T I'IIOM I'.ll t'N'DS.
