THE REPUBLICAN. I)A Y, JULY 7 14, LWM. llow did you enjoy the 4th ? Fourth of July was a perfect day. The grass in Mountain Ash ceme tery should be cut. Adjourned court proceedings else where in this issue. Miss Katie Fries of Laporte, has gone to the 'Mere for the season. It is pretty well understood that the new courthouse will be erected on the old site. Harry Cassell spent fourth of July with friends in Elmira, and re ports a good time. Mr. and Mrs. Victor Lauer and family of Scranton, spent last work with friends at Laporte. Mrs. L. B. Burdett and family of Washington, D. C., arc guests of the Mountain House. Our foreman, John Boyd enjoyed bis week's vacation with his parents and friends in Dushore. Mr. and Mrs. John L. Farrell of Dushore, spent Saturday and Sun day with friends at Laporte. Over two thousand people visited Eagles Mere on July 4th and there vras no doings there either. Miss Ola Mahaffey and Miss Maud Crossley, both of Laporte, spent Sunday with friends in Williamsport. The interior of Hotel Kennedy has recently been painted and paper ed and presents a very creditable appearance. The fourth of July hall given at Hotel Kennedy, was libeially at tended and a right good time en joyed by all. The Y. W. C. T. U., will meet at the home of Fannie Mcylert, Friday evening July 14.

'X'he doings on the fourth of July «t Estella, were witnessed by one thousand people and all enjoyed a pleasant day. Shall we give Dushorc the old courthouse ? Thats the question now being agitated by our people. The thing is worthless. Mrs. A. M. Cheney of Laporte, was called to the sick bed of her ■sister—Mrs. Hatfield of Centcr mor el and, Wyoming county, on Sun day. The Ringville R. R. bridge over Loyal Sock will be erected and ready for the cars to pass over by the middle of next week. So say the bridge men. The fire works ignited at the 'Mere on Fourth of July evening, were enjoyed by people way over in Cherry twp. Win. Murray said he could see them plainly. A cow owned by John C. Bots ford of Laporte twp., was struck by lightning on Monday July 3d and instantly killed. Mr. Botsford said jt was the valuable cow ot his Hock. The West end of Meylert street has beeu fenced in b}' tenants oc cupying the Clark property. Out town council should investigate and order the same opened as it is a great inconvenience to property owners in that section of town. Miss Emma Spencer of Laporte, ■who has been learning dressmaking iu New York city for the past sev eral months, returned home on the first of July. Miss Kmina w ill re turn to the city during the month of September and finish her trade. Mrs E. V. Ingham of the 'Mere, -who has been spending several weeks with her people at Wysox, returned to Laporte on Saturday July Ist and will remain a good pait of the mouth here. Mrs. Ing. ham is slowly rocovering from her Jong and serious illiic*s.

It being estimated that there were twelve hundred on the grounds. The horse racing however, was not up to the standard and was a disap pointment to us all. There were two races—one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The 11 a. m. was the best of the two, notwith standing the fact that both horses entered were owned by one individu al. This made betting a certainty, providing you werfc in with the jockeys, and we understand that several Dushore parties took ad vantage of the opportunity and doubled their money. The color of the horses entered were a black and a bay. The black was considered the fastest of tho two by the on lookers anil evidently was. He was allowed to win the first heat, which did the purpose intended and made betting lively. The bay won the next two heats and the money changed hands. It was evident that the black horse was not made to do its best iu either of these heats. Take our advice and never bet your money on a horse race. The afternoon race was some what of a failure. It was like this : • There were three horses entered. One owned by Chas. Jackson or said to have been owned by him, one by B. W. Jennings of Lopez and one by Ambrose Farrell of Lopez. Tlio Jackson horse won the first heat. The second heat the Jackson horse came in ahead, but the judges claimed that there was unfair play by Jackson and the heat was de clared oil. This decision offended Jackson and he refused to put his horse on again. The other two horses came on, however, and this heat was won by the Farrell horse, j(ltena). At this juncture Mr. ; Jennings entered the judges stand and refused to allow his horse to j make the last heat owing to exces sive heat. The judges then awarded | i the prize ($25.) to Iteua. The foot and bicycle races were j sandwiched between the trotting i heats and were very entertaining, rho foot race came llrstund the con testants, were: Jlrown of liernice and Ilamer of Pushore.

Y., July 7.—Dr. C. H. Lloyd, a dentist, night before last picked up a letter on the streot that was addressed to Lawrence Carpen ter, Albany, N. Y. It had been forwarded from Albany to Rome. It was post marked at Fall River, Mass., June 22, and the letter in closed bore the same date. The letter was evidently written by a very illiterate person, and was in substance as follows: MY DEAR HUSBAND :—Lizzie has been acquitted and I don't think they can do anything with you. I want you to come home and spend the Fourth, The papers •jive a description of the mau seen over the fence ou the morning of the murder. Can you prove where you were on the morning of the murder V ANNIE. A FALL RIVER MURDER SUS PECT. Some Facts* About Joseph Carpen ter. THE I.OST LETTER AROUSES SUSPICION. FALL RIVER, July 9. —Joseph W. Carpenter, jr., about whom much is now being printed in connection with the Borden murders, because of a suspicious letter supposed to have been addressed to him i» New York, formerly worked for the IJordcn & Almy firm of furniture dealers, of which Andrew J. Borden was the senior member. It w#3 al leged against Carpenter, at one time, that he falsified the firm's books. Some Sagamore mill stock was transferred to satisfy the claim, but later the mill became involved and the stock proved valueless. Suit followed, but when both parties were ready for trial, Carpenter threatened something, which several of the parties did not dare to face, and the proceedings were quashed. Andrew Borden was most severe with Carpenter, but the latter never had serious trouble with him. Carpenter left the city shortly after ward, and became a drummer for ink, pens and stationery. He has traveled the most of the time in New York state, and generally makes his headquarters iu Albany. He married a daughter of Captain Barney, of this city aud was here last iu May, 1892. When the Bordon tragedies were heralded about the country last August, every man who might have had formerly any differences with Mr. Borden was hunted down. Among the unforuriate suspects was Carpenter. District Attorne}- Knowlton felt .satisfied from his talk with Mrs. Carpenter, aud her little girl, here, that ' I ""band had not been in the vieinitj the time of the tragedy, noi some time before it. Nevertheless, at the suggestion of Marshal II il liard, who was urged ou by Mr. Sennings, Harrington was sont out to run down Carpenter and to ob tain positive information of his whereabouts during the latter days of July and the early days of Au gust, 1892. Carpenter proved an alibiti by hotel clerks and registers. Ono fact iu connection with the Carpenter matter, caused Miss Borden's lawyers to be persistent in their search for him. It was positively stated by ono Peter Driscoll, that ho had shaved Carpenter in the barber shop at the Wilbur House a day or two before the murders were committed. This story the police say was wholly unfounded. At 8 o'clock to-night, Mis. Joseph \V. Carpenter was found at the house of her father in-law. In answer to questions, she said she wrote a letter to her husband some weeks ago, in which she begged him to couie home as f»oon as ho could. She said, in substance, that nobody could cause him any more annoy ance here, on account of the murders, inasmuch as Miss Lizzie was ac quitted, and the feeling hud quieted down, She wrote iu this strain be cause Iter husband had been diflldent about coming to Fall River ou ac count of having ouoo been shadow* ed and had his name mixed up in the allair. She said tliat her hus band had not been here since Decora tion Day, and his whereabouts after that had been fully explained to the satisfaction of the police. She cannot explain how her letter was lost. She wtule to her huslmud yesterday, and received letters from him regularly. She requested that Captain Harrington's detailed state ment be given the hroadetl publica tion, The officer sttyt he cannot talk until to uiorrow, when lie will have a consultation with the marshal, I M ('r«»*»|»ty carries the mail sud panning! r* iu a In and new wit gun U tweeu Ltporte and Sold uiout. ilm coach present* a veijr : cr< ditubit sppvstsuva and is cssjr ridifty.
