rspojblic^S) LAPOKTK, PA .NOVEMBER 18tti, 1892. TO AND COUNTY NEWS. Suuda) was a perfect day. Oysters at Hotel Kenuedy. Winter is cowing on apace. The kids ure shouting—Grorerl Thanksgiving ball at Hotel Ken nedy. Columbia county went Demo cratic. Christmas comes on Sunday this year. We are told that Sheriff Mahatfey will locate at LaPorte. Our correspondents are requested to send in the news. Straws sometimes show which way the cider flows. The worm dieth not in the chest nut unless boiled or roasted- The coal combine will make it warm for the public this winter. We are licked, and all Republi cans should take it in the best of humor. Let er 1 go Gallagher, so loug as Cleveland don't put a veto on our railroad. The Democrats having won a glorious victory have a right to re joice. We go two to one that immigra tion will be the next Presidential issue. Salt river is crowded with boats loaded with Republicans from old Pennsylvania. It is ruinorod that there are sever al applicants ready to take the La- Porte post office. John O. Wilson of Sonestown, was transacting business at the coun ty seat, Tuesday. John Boyd, foreman of the RE PUBLICAN, was visiting his parents at Dushore. Sunday. The vote of Tuesday the Bth in dicates that tbe American people cannot stand prosperity. The Lycoming Democrats ratified at Williamsport, on Wednesday eveuing. It was a big night. Jeremiah Kelly the hardware merchant of Hughesville, was doing business at f,aPorte, Friday. Elmer She-man the LaPorte barber has a right good trade. Elmer does his work first class. Gee—Crack—for all tne money that changed hands on the recent election. The Republicans paid the bill. The business men of LaPorte, say that there are more dead beats about town this winter than ever before. With a few amendments to the new election law, making it less cumbersome and expensive, it will be a decided success. The Repnnlicans in this vicinity received the election news in good humor. However, like other places, the}' were much disappointed. John E. Gallagher, manager of Hotel Kennedy, save his business has more than doubled since he introduced the "schooner" glass. Mrs. Jacob Fries of LaPorte, was visiting her son-in-law and daug<t er—Mr. J. L. Farrell and wife of Dushore, the later part of last week. Election is over and it will do no good to threaten now. We cannot all be of one mind politically, and every voter has a right to cast his vote as he chooses. Daniel Little of tbe 'Mere made the REPUBLICAN a call, on Tuesday and renewed his subscription one year in advance. Dan says he can't keep house without the REPUBIJCAN. The fusion ticket in Bradford county was cut to the heart. The nominees on this ticket received less votes than tbe usual Democratic ticket. The fusion "jig" is "up" in Bradford county. Luke E. Wells, the Dushore miller, was in town transacting busi ness, Monday. He h»9 the contract •of furnishing Gaynor A Co. with flour feed etc., and it keeps two steams busy hauling supplies. An exchange says: "that a wagon maker who had been bomb for years, picked up a hub and spoke. Yes, and a blind carpenter on the same day reached out for his plane and saw ; and a deaf ranchman, went out with his dog and herd; a noseless fisherman caught a barrel of herring and smelt; A defunct hstter was ' -'-Miosited upon a pile of * - forty ton ele '* into a grate A number of our LaPorte Dem ocrats took part in the Democratic demonstration at Williamsport, Wednesday night. Josh M. Lull had 500 majority. Josh's friends has increased quite rapidly since 1888. He goes from the grind stone to the top shelf. The telephone line between this place and Lake Mokoma was con structed ou Saturday. This enter prise makes it very convenient for Mr. Gaynor to converse with the railroad officials. Three hundred and ninety-six ma jority is not very much to over come. We will get there after while. This county will improve in many ways with the completion of the several railroads. A grand Thanksgiving ball will be given at Hotel Kennedy on Wednesday eveniug November 23d and a general invitation is extended to all. The best of music will be in attendance. Bill $1.50. Frank Reeder Esq., who conduct ed the chairmanship of the Republi can part}- of Pennsylvania during the recent campaign, will be a can didate for Governor. General Hastings is also a candidate. The grading of the railroad along the banks of Lake Mokoma, was completed last week. The larger force of men now engaged on the railroad are at work in the vicinity of Noidmout and between this'place and Rings. i'he Cleveland bo} s of LaPorte celebrated on Thursday. There was no bon-fire ignited, but there was lots of fire water put down. In the evening a quarrel took place at the LaP >rte Hotel when pistols were flunshed in the air and it became necessary to call on the constable to quiet- the disturbance. Our job department is chuck up full. On Saturday six were bung on the hook and three completed. The REPUBLICAN is the only equip ped office in tbe county, hence, we do neater and cheaper work than either of our contemporaries. Come this way when you waut a first class job done for small money. Competent Sullivan county Demo orats should lose no time in re questing appointments at Washing ton under the newly elected ad ministration. Tne Republicans a well as Democrats would lie pleased to see our people reap some of tin spoils. Don't be backward, yon never received anything you didn't ask for. Master Victor Snntli of LaPorte, was ten years of age, on Tuesday the 15th, and in honor of the event Victor's play mates »ave him a sur prise party in the evening. Then were some fifteen or twenty little folks present and all express a ver\ pleasant evening. Victor was th' recipient of many haudsome and valuable presents. Wyoming county gave Harrison a inajo-ity of over one hundred, on Tuesday the Bth. The Republican county ticket was only successful in part, however. Piatt for Membei and Overfield for County Treasurer and both on the Democratic ticket were elected The Republi cans elected Dist. Atty. and Countv Surveyor. Cleveland received 12ti0 votes in Sullivan county in 1888. Ou Tues day the Bth his vjte was 1261, hence, the Democratic vote in Sullivan has increased one during the ~ast four years while the R-publieaii vote has fallen off about in proportion with the Pr ihibition vote party than from the Democratic. Would-be-post-masters are plenty at Dushore. There are five appli cants seeking the appointment under the newly elected administration. They are as follows : G. K Dona hue, Geo. Deegan, Nathan Per-un, Lot McHenry and John Finan. Messrs. Donahoe, Deegan and Finan have petitions in circulation. A trifle early boys, but then the early bird catches the worm. The victorious Democrats are so anxious to get at the McKinley bill that they will not hare the patience to wait until December 1893. Al ready they are demanding that the new Congress be convened as soon after the 4th of March as possible, so that the obnoxious law can be wiped from the statute booka. Re publicans are fully as impatient and will acquiesce in the haste so strong !}• manifested. The earlier the bet ter. The most popular thing that the new President can do would be to convene Congress on the sth of March, if it were possible for the members to get there. They might be notified in advance, however. Let us have "reform" and with a vengeance. Good Bye T» roll ties For m Time. We have had a very clean and pleasant campaign, but every cam paign 1B more or less distasteful, and we are hll glad that it is over. For several week* tbe only news which the majority of readers eared much for WHS political news. Everything else was secondary to the great question of who should lie the next President. That question is settled now, and newspapers can go back to normal conditions and give gen eral news The REPUB ICAN has undertaken to give the political news freely, and to give it fairly. We have not knowingly publised anything as news or editorial which was not warranted by the facte, and while some things may have dis pleased some readers this is one of the invariable things in every cam paign. Now, with the campaign finished, with this hard political work done, we turn again to a norm al newspaper work with thai relief which every newspaper feels when every kind of news has its due im portance and one kind does not practically exclude and overshadow every other. There is much in business which is highly encourag ing, and hereafter the REPUBLICAN will give in each issue, in the Story of the Week, a brief review of the business outlook. In business mat ters in homo and foreign news, in useful suggestions to young men, in everything which goes to the making of a heme newspaper it will en deavor to be especially helpful and loadable in the coming months. For a time, good bye to politics, and hail and welcome to the general news of the world ! T|{.HII"S AWFUL rt'ORK. low lie Cunaed the Death ol a Boy VeKlerilajr. BRADFORD, Nov. 14.—.John Leg gett, a fourteen-year-old-boy, died it his mother's home lust night from burns that cover him from head to foot. Last evening at 6 o'clock a tramp sought shelter in an old shed, which a party of boys used as a play house. The boys tried to gei the tramp to leave the place, but he refused to go. Young Leggett went into expostulate with the fel low. The tramp had kindled a fire in an old store in the shanty, and imong the truck in the place was a bucket partly lull ofcrude petroleum i'he Cegs»eit boy was standing close to the open tire, when the tramp de liberately seized the bucket of oi. •md dashed it over the boy in sin I. i way that what, did not strike him went into the fire. The fl.mes fol lowed the torrent of oil, leaping from the fire in (he stove to the lit tle fellows clothing, and in a breath he was ablnze and a railroad em ploye who was passing rushed to his relief. The clothing was burned off the boy before the fire «'ii s mothered. Delirious and ravin" wild with pain, the little fellow wa carried to his mother. He died twe hours later. The tramp was caught near th«- round-house of the Pittsburg, Hochester and dtiffalo railroad, and a crowd of angry men hurry ing preparations to l\ nch hiin when the police officers arrived and a struggle began for possession of the prisoner. Ihe officers would have lost their in-in had not some of the cit izens joined tlieui and indmed the would-be-hnchers to listen to reaaon. Finally the terror stricken weteli was surrendered to the au thorities. He clairas to hail from \litany, X. Y. THE MILL WON'T BE BI I .T A Big Order Tor Machinery Can. ccled aa a Beault ol the Election. I'LTTSFIELD, Mass., Nov. 13.—E Jones, Son & Co., hare received a despatch canceling an order for machinery for a $400,000 paper mill in New York State, for which the foundations are already laid. The projectois say they have de oided not togo on owing 'o the re sult of the recent election. Here is one instance wheie per haps one thousand men are thrown out of employment owing to the success of a free trade administra tion. We can look for many more in the near future. St re h\'s "break'' last week in his remark that the telephone between La Porte and Onshore was owned and minipulated b\ l>eputili( ans and for this reason he could not get tbe election news from this end of the conntv for publication ; is another exhibit of St reby's Ignorance. The line between this place and Du shore has been out of' order for some weeks and further it is leased by the W. h N B. railroid, who has recently repaired it as far as Dohm's Summit. Mr. Marston, chief en gineer of the W. \ N. B. looks after it at this end, to whom Streby owes an apology. The line also extendi* to Dr. H'll's residence where the main < Aim of the W. & N. B. is located. IS FKABOFTHGIB LIVE* The Acqaltal ot Lingo Stir* Up BfercbuutTille. PHILADELPHIA., NOV. 13.—The good people of Merchantville, New Jersey are in arms because of the acquittal yesterday in (,'amdcn of Francis Lingo, colored, the alleged murder of Mrs. Annie Miller. Their anger knows no bounds, and in in termingled with fear that some one else maj' be murdered 111 that vicini fcy, and the perpetrator go unpunish ed. The wives and daughters of the well-to-do residents, and they are numerous, actually dread to leave their homes aloue for fear that something might happen them. AB soon as it was learned yester day afternoon that Lingo was a free man threats of lynching him, should he return to the community, were freely made, and to-day these ex pressions grew in earnestness and volume. As the outcome of this state of af fairs an indigra'ion meeting was held at 4 o'clock this afternoon in the Merchantville town hall which was attended by two hundred of the most prominent citizens of the lo cality. It was presided over by Thomas C. Kniglit, the President of the Philadelphia Brokers' Exchange, and a committee of three, consisting of John Morton, Edward Nash and Frederick Kleintx was appointed to confer with Camden County Pros ecutor Jenkins, who conducted tin case against Lingo, and see whnt could be done to keep the acquitted negro from returning to the neigh borhood. Resolutions were presented,(and although referred to a committee of live were practically adopted) cen suring ex-Judge Westeott, senioi counsel for Lingo, expressing sympathy with John Miller, husband of the murdered woman and disap proving of the abrupt ending of th< trial. The committee, comprised John Allen, Charles Hollingshead, Edward W. Morris, William Long streeth and Morris Rederow, all ol whom are wealthy and influential, and to whom the resolutions were re ferred, will probably augment them. The meeting adjourned to meet at the same place to-morrow night at eight o'clock, when a definate lin« of action will lie determined upon I'he citizens arjue rli-it as the mur- Icrers of Miss Annie h< cone\ am' Jrs. Annie Miller, both of whir ireurred within their tni lsr, are un ivrnged, there i- no -afety for then ; lint their lives and the lives of thei families are in constant peril a'd that precautions must be taken. They fear that ..he acquittal of 'halklev Leconey and Francis Ling... <>f the respective murders, I lie latiei also l»eing arrested for the fii>t crime, will set a lawle s preced' nt t• many of the five hundred nejroes Matchtown, a snbu bof Merrha t vi lie, which might r" nit in anotln > mysterious killing. The* also fm •hat someone shoul I be handed to <*acli murd.-r, but as there is no probability of i-ither mystery » \ »'i being cleared, the best they can do is to take, in a measure, t!ie law i their own hands and protec their homes by aggressive methods. Tin Matchtowu negroes are aroused and threaten vengeance upon any one \ ho shall maltreat Lingo. Lingo sass lie never will return to Merchantville, ami as his liu would be in darger were he to do so, it is believed he will he an un known quantity in parts, lb will exhibit himself in a dime museum in this city during the coniiii;: week. AM EFFECT ELECTION. An Iron nnd Steel Company Changes Its Policy. CANOHSBTJRQ, Pa., Nov 14.—The Iron and steel manufacturing compa ny of this place, which had been making arrangements to start in connection with their mill the manu facture of tin plate, and had oroer edt' e machinery for the '>ara«, hav. abandoned the pr> j<-ct and counter manded the order for th<> machinery, giving as a reason that the incorn ing Democratic administration hav ing declared its policy on the tariff they fear that the infant tin plate industry would not likely thrive under a revenue tariff. The above is the second manu facturing establishment, as quoted in the REPUBLICAN, abandoned on account of the free trade ad ministration. This time in Pennsyl vania, hence, hundreds of working men are thrown out of a contemplated situations. We fear that free trade will be the means of putting a gooi'- ly number of us poor working peo ple to the wall before four years roll around. If we can survive un til then the Republican party will rescue us. Cleveland will be inaugurated on I the 4th of March. ELECTION EXPENSES. The Amount Paid the Election Boards of tl»e Several Bor ough)* aud Townships ol Sullivan County. From figures furnished us by Commissioner's Clerk R. M. Stor inoiit, it is seen that the county paid the officers who sat at the dif ferent polling places in Sullivan county during the late election, a total of $444.20. This does not include the expenses of delivering the booths and other paraphernalia and blanks made necessary by the new law, nor does it include the Sheriffs Proclamation, but as it is, the election officer's expenses are not much greater than they were at former elections. The figures for the different districts are as follows: Bern ice, Cherry, 35.00. Colley, 30 90. I Dushore, 29.50. Davidson, .29.70. Elkland, 31.50. Forks, 31.50. Fox, 35.00. Forksville Boro., 30.50.
