The ItBI'UBUOAJf official. fjotie, tue frenchman who resides on the Uustel farm near Celcstia, was brought before Kol>t. Stoiuiont, J. P. for trespass on Monday.

Mr. Gaynor presented the organization with a ten dollar bill and it was un derstood that Mr. Glelm was to de liver a speech, but owing to fatigue and a bad cold, requested to be ex cused, and suggested that a foot race take the place of a speech in the evening exercises. This, Mr. Gay nor, who was master of ceremonies readily approved of and said that Paddy Quinn his barn boss could get there with any of them. Mr. Gleim had an idea that Harry Hill their book keeper could get away with Paddy and the match was soon arranged. The ground was selected on Main St., between the Mountain House and the corner of the Court House square opposite the LaPorte Hotel. Bets were even and the run ners to">k their stand. F. 11.

WOMEN KILLED 111 SHAKEN. Deadly Copperhead* Attack and Fatally Htinnd Mother and Daughter. SIIAUPTOWN, Md., Sept. 4.—Cap tain Wilber Martin arrived here yesterday from the oyster beds with the first authentic report of the thrilling encounter at Frostburg be tween Martha Hardcastle and lier 15-year-old daughter, Ellen, and a huge copperhead snake, which terminated in the death of both women. Mrs. Hardcastle, with her daughter, went to the woods to gather berries. They had hardly entered the woods when two snakes attacked them. The smaller one was dispatched by thc3'oung woman. The mother, in her efforts to kill the other, was struck by the venom ous reptile. Ellen rushed to her aid and was likewise bitten. Both managed to get homo where they died in great agony two hours later. Mr Hardcastle who is the captain of a dredging boat, did not return home until the next daj and upon being appraised of the awful calamity that had overtaken his family, be came a raving maniac and was with great difficulty prevented from inking his life. Two weeks previous a woodcutter named Smith was bit ten by a rattler in the same place and died. Frostburg is the name of a cross roads in the lower part of Wicomico County, Md., and it is said that that vicinity is the only placo 011 the Peninsula where pois onous snakes are found. A POLITICAL DUEL. LIKELY. Kolb Ntrlki'M ll ■■ luloxit-nteil .41- iibuiulrtii uiul 1m Clihllimi|E«>«l. MOXTOGMEKY, Aln., Sept. 4.—A sensational s'xeet dilllculty, occurred in thin city about 0 o'clock lust even ing. Captain Pollard, a prominent politician, while slightly under the influence of whiskey approached Captain Kolb, late candidate for Governor, and demanded to know if Kolb intended to turn the State over to the Uepublicans. Kolb re plied that the question was uot a proper one to be asked or answered. Pollard insisted on a reply, hot words followed,w hen Pollard called Kolb a liar, anil lvolb struck Pollard. Frieuds interfered and prevented serious trouble. Pollard afterward approached Kolb and reaching out his hand asked if Kolb would give hint that satisfaction due from one gentleman to another, which was understood by the friends of both to mean a challenge. Kolb turned on his heel and left Pollard, whom he discovered was still drinking. Some of Pollard's friends say he will apol ogize when he recovers himself, wiiilc others Hunk the trouble ha» uot ended. The dilllculty creates a great deal of excitement here. * 'l'lie Oeiuoeiats of Sullivan county say that they did not assist to put | Lull and Matiailry in the Held and ihey (lout projHxie to give this purl of the ballot any aid at the (general election. This ticket, us claimed h> the luuk and tile of the Sullivan county jK-mocrecy, was forced upon iheiu by a lew of the leaders, audi will lull a many totes short ol ! success, on the tith of No vein be I I'sndldatus form I Upon the people at a eonvuiiUun, are ui»*t apt to be ' utiudt'iuut'd by the iieoplf, ■ i 1 • ■ The state eoniily commissioners will Uold then muiiuil cunventiou at ' i'llUbu/g, «OUm vnMMjf UU hi pi. ii t Uood ltoaMouv Why the Bowet (Should be Knocked Out. There are many reasons why the majority of the Sullivan county Democrats will not support the en tire ticket nominated by a number of the bosses of tbe party at their convention, held on the 9th of Aug. Ist. The bosses gave no atten tion to the wants of the majority of their voters, but pitched in head foremost and made the selection to suit themselves. The voters of Democracy say that any other man in the county is preferable to Josh Lull for Member, and that his re lations with the corporations have not been endorsed by the people of Sullivan aud in their judgment never will be. 2d. Mr. Lull showed his con tempt for the people of our county when he loaded his household goods for Minneapolis or some other place immediately after the 1888 campaign, when the people of our county re fused to endorse him as onr Member at Harrisburg. This little incident is still fresh in the minds of the Sullivan county voters which gave them the opportunity of seeing with their own eyes just how much love Lull has for the welfare of the Sulli van county people. They know too } that his business relations here would not detain him one second as he has no real estate to dispose ot. 3d. The better class of the Demo cratic party consider Mr. Lull a "heeler" and they condemn him in harsh words for this ill gotten way of making friends. If reports are all true Josh will have to be mighty sly in making this campaign, should he use his old time tactics. Demo crats who are displeased with his nomination arc after him with a red hot iron. 4th. Mr. Lull has resided in our county in the neighborhood of twelve or thirteen j'ears during which time lie has paid but six dol lars and forty-five cents county tax. Duriuj* this time, however, he has invested in real estate in Minneapolis where he pays a very large tax. This shows his contempt for Sulli van county and that he is only re maining here for the honors of this oflice and to assist the corporations at llarrisburg for the lucrative posi tion they have kindly given him. It does not appear to us that a majority of our people with this knowledge of Mr. Lull—can give him their support oil the Bth of November. (n reference to Mr. Mahaffey every body knows that he is not compe tent and is not the proper man to be trusted with the oiliee of Sheriff, hence there is not a gho3t of a show for his election. It would be wise of Mr. Mahaffey to withdraw from the field thereby saving for himself the cost of a campaign and an over whelming defeat. We shall indue time publish Mr. Mabaffey's record as Sheritf of Lycoming county which will startle the reading public. Mr. E. J. Flynn of Jamison City and Miss Mamie Sheehan of LaPorte were married at St. Basil's church in Dushore on Tuesday Sept. 6th. Mr. Flynn was formerly of LaPorte, having served in the employment of James McFarlano & Co., as outside foreman for several years. He is recognized as a business, straight forward young man and has many friends where best known. Miss Mamie is one of our brightest young ladies. She has devoted much ol her time in teaching school and has made a complete success of her en gagements. During the Bummer vacations she has spent much of her time in looking after the interest of the L'atholio Sunday School iu the 2nd Ward and increased the interest iu the same to a considerable extent. Mr and Mrs Flynn have our best wishes. May their path be strewed with roses, Look Out lor Him. A man was arrested in Milton last week who may make hii appearance in this section, and it wiU be well for everybody to be on the lookout for bin. He bought five cents' worth of uarutnol at a drug store, mining it with a quantity of water, hud u tiuid I bat resembled extract of vanilla so closely that he readily succeeded iu lieeoiug a number of (teople with it. He was arrested, iiited and released. If he comes here dou't let Uuu swindle you.

Chairman Edson and the Presi dent Have p Briet Conference. WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—ln com pliance with the request of the Presi dent Chairman Edson, of the commit tee of arrangements for the G. A. R. encampment, went to the White House to-day and had a long con ference with him relative to the Grand Army encampment and the progress of the management. Mr. Edson told the President what was being done and the present condi tion of the preparations and the prospects of ft successful and well attended meeting. The President inquired into the detail with evident interest and listened to the narra tive of the work accomplished by the citizens' committee witli atten tion. The President is well satis fied with the arrangements. The horrible accident which oc curred near Tivoli on Friday Aug. 30, resulting in the death of Mr. Wm. Taylor displays the gross neg ligence and indifference of the aver age supervisor for the safety of the traveling public. It is reasonable to presume that the sad disaster would have been obviated had there been suitable guard rails along the edge of the embankment instead of the small useless logs. The tax payer has a right to expect aud de mand that all dangerous places along the public highway bo properly guarded. There arc a number of dangerous embankments in the vicini ty of LaForto and especially along the Nordmont road that should be immediately protected. HuNincMM Local*. John V.
