The people of Forksville, Elkland and a good part of Forks twps., will do their shipping here; also will the citizens of the upper end of Shrewsbury during the fall and winter months. The railroad which oftentimes proves detrimental to country towns, we think, will prove of benefit to Laporte. At any rate it looks very favorable.

He is much better now, however, and is able to walk about our streets- A western minister has fallen from £race in the estimation of every feminine member of his con gregation, and the cause is found in the following sentiment recently ex pressed in a sermon : "God made the earth in six days and then lie rested ; then lie made man and rest ed again ; then he made woman, and,"the pastor added, smiling as he said it, "since that time neither God nor man has had a rest."

The nominees of the Democratic county convention for county com missioners are both from the north eastern part of the county, viz: Cherry township and Dushore boro. and for this reason hosts of Demo crats are dissatisfied and say that one of the number should have come from either Davidson or Shrewsbury twp., and insist upon the Republicans placing two nomi nees in the field selecting one from either of the two precincts mention ed above, and the other from the western part of the county. They say that if the Republicans will go to these districts toy their men and select good men they will guarantee their election. We doubt however, the advisability of the Republicans placing two nominees in the field. We would suggest that an Inde pendent Democrat of Davidson township announoe himself and that the issue be independent exclusive ly- The Fayette county grand jury, says the Greensburg Tribune, makes a suggestion that local institutes be held throughout the county to dis cuss the subject of road improve ments. This is a suggestion that might be accepted with profit else where than in Fayette county. Two years will elapse before the state legislature again convenes, and in that time a wonderful amount of work could be done. If the friends of road improvements would goto work systematically to interest and educate the masses on the road question, these two years interven ing between now and the assemb ling of the legislature should enable them to create such a sentiment in favor of good roads that would de mand action by that body. Prohibition Convention Pursuant to a call of the Pro hibition Standing Committee, the Prohibition County Convention will be held in the Rink, at Eagles Mere, on Thursday the 31st day' of August. 1893, at 1 p. m., for the purpose of nominating the following officers, viz : County Treasurer, one or two County Commissioners, Coroner, and one or two Auditors.

The Fate ot l'oor Wretches Driven From a Burning .Ship. SAN FHANCISCO, Aug. 13.—Furth er particulars of the burning of the steamer San Juan off the Chinese coast were received here yesterday. The Spanish steamer San Juan left Hong Kong for Manilla with a full crew and all the Chinese that could be stowed away. Thirty miles off Darigayo's Point fire was discovered between decks. It soon spread to 1000 cases of petroleum, and then all hope of saving the ship was abandoned. The life-boats were capsized by the Chinese. Sharks made short work of these and in this manner the second engineer, quartermaster, steward and second officer lost their lives. Many jumped overboard and were devoured by sharks. Those who reached one of the boats tilled it to excess and the sharks leaped into the air to snatch their prey. The panic was fearful. Sharks caine in droves and hundreds of them conld be seen around the blazing steamer. The San Juan was towed into Manilla still on fire. Including of ficers and crew there were 283 people on board, and the sharks and flame* must have devoured 162. Arrested at Lope*. Joseph G. Piatt, county detective, and Constable McCrystnl, of Cas cade township, returned late last night from "Lopez, Sullivan county, having arrested Michael Finan at that place. Finan was charged with selling liquor without license, and the case is a sequel of the Hoover murder in Cascade town ship. That case brought the at tention of the community and the county officers to the looseness with whith the liquor laws were observed in that end of the county, and steps were at once taken to punish some of the offenders. About the time the crime for which Ycagle and Ogden are now serving time, was committed, Finan was peddling liquor out of a wagon through Cas cade, Gamble and Mclntyre town ships, having no license or shadow of right by law. Right after the murder a warrant was sworn out for his arrest before Alderman Gilniore, but he had vanished and dilligent search failed to reveal his where abouts. A few days ago a clue was iliscovered to his whereabouts and Uounly Detective Piatt called into lid Constable McCrystal. On Monday they left the city, ind only yesterday afternoon were they able to fiud their man. lie was taken before 'Squire Jennings, who placed him undr S3OO bail for his appearance at court here in September. lie does not deny his offence but says he did not know he was violating the law. As soon as lie was made aware of it, he says, he quit. The authorities have a clear case against him. Alderman Gil tnoro received the papers this morn ing and will have thoin returned to September term. Finan says lie was lilling orders for the Hehaad dis tillery at Bernice.—Williamsport Sun, Aug. (till. Finan was arrested for a like of fense in Sullivan county and was tried at May term of court. The jury found him ' not guilty but pay the cost." Finan resorted to the insolvent act and proved that lie is not worth a dollar, hence, the coun ty will be compelled to pay the en tiro cost of tl>o suit and Finan will u;o Scott free. We fear that Michael lias run against a snag in Lycoming county- however, and will be housed for a few months. The offense charged is precisely the same as the one he has recently undergono in the Sullivan county courts, hence, at the close of the trial, we will notice tho diUercncc of opinion of the jury and judges of tho two courts. run ( A\(I.LI,S THE L.EAME.

On Tuesday afternoon a dispatch signed by third Vice President Garrett, was sent to all the station agents along the line of the Lehigh, which read as follows : PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 8. 7b all Station A gents: All revenue from Lehigh Valley busi ness which may now be ill your huuds, and all hereafter collected, should be de posited by United States Express with E. P. Wilbur Trust Company, South Bethle hem, and advices made to VV. C.Alderson, treasurer, and Isaac McQuilken, comp troller. this company having to-day re sumed possession and operation of its line, under direction of court as of first iastant. JOHN B. GARRETT, Thiid Vice-President This action was taken because the Philadelphia it Reading Coal anil Iron Co. failed to pay $903,768.03 for coal purchased from tho Lehigh Valley Coal Co. prior to the Read ing receivership, and which default violated the lease. The Lehigh Valley R. R. petitioned the United States Circuit Court to abrogate the lease, Hud the Reading receivers as senting, Judge Dallas ordered the separation, The latter also ap pointed John Lowber Welsh to suc ceed Flisha P. Wilbur as a Read ing receiver, Mr. Wilbur resigning because of alleged ill-health. Mr. Wilbur will probably soon retire from the Reading board of managers but will retain the presidency of the Lehigh Valley. It was provided in the lease that if the agreement be tween the coal companies, each of which is controlled by its respective road, should be terminated for any reason, then the lease of the Lehigh Valley R. It.to the Reading should also at once be terminated. The employes all along the line are very much pleased with the change. There has been no change in the heads of departments, or other employes, and there probably will not be for some time at least. The officials of the Say re hospital found it necessary to amputate Mr. Bunchy 1 s arm on Saturday. Mr. B. is the employe of James Mc- Farlanc & Co., who met with the sad misfortune of sawing his arm on the edging saw of Frank Mynard's saw mill in the second ward on Tuesday of last week, an account of which was given in the REPUBLICAN. Amputation was made necessary by gangrene setting in. Mr. Bunchy resides in the second ward and has a wife and several little children, who are heart broken over the sad misfortune of husband and father. The family have the sympathy of our whole people.
