The passenger train will be here Saturday evening. September 7th, is Pennsylvania Day at the World's Fair. Notice our business locals this week. They mav interest you. S. L. Boone of Souestown, was doing business at the county seat, Tuesday. Mrs. lien. W. C. Rogers of Forks ville, is visiting friends in La porte. The greatest obstacle to success ful housekeeping these days, is the •servantgalism." Mrs. 11. E. Van Fleet of Bingham ton, N. Y., is visiting friends in La porte and Eagles Mere. The Republican convention, on Monday next, will be held in the Presbyterian church. Fifty cent wheat is troubling our country more than silver. That's where the pinch comes. A deaf man cannot be legally con victed. It is unlawful to convict a man without a hearing. A new side walk has been layed to the M. E. church. A great im provement over the "old one." Mrs. A. F. Meylert has recently had a new side walk layed in Iront of her residence, on West Main St. It is rumored that work on the new Lake Mokoma depot, will be commenced in the very near future. The G. A. R. boys of Williams port and Ilughesville, will visit Lake Mokoma on Saturday Sept. 2d. Mr. William B. Baldy, editor and proprietor of the Montour American died on August. 16th, aged about 40 years. Fred Peale and Wm. Vanbuskirk, both of Eagles Merc, were doing business at the county seat, Mon day. These good Democratic times make good times for the county of ficers. The people as a whole are not "in it." It is said the reason why bicyclers always lean forward when riding their wheels is because they are on pleasure bent. The officials of the W. & N. 8., have issued orders that they will be ready to haul through freight by the Ist of September. B. G. Welch Esq., owing to the absence of the Rev. Mr. Lepley, oc cupied the M. E. church pulpit, on last Sabbath evening. Attys. R. J. Thomson and B. S Collins of Dushore, were present at the Wanck audit, held in Atty. Dunham's office at Laporte, Tues day. Joseph Powell, tlie Eagles Mere photographer, took a photo of the King and Little trestles, on the \V. &N. 13. R. I?., one day last week. The Williamsport G. A. It. boys expect to ride over the W. & N. B. en-route for the World's Fair. They will make the trip the early part of September. Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Karns and Mr. Harry Karns returned from the World's Fair on Saturday. They Ray the Fair is "great" and insist upon their Laporte friends going. The Y. W C. T. U. of Laporte, will meet at the home of Miss Grimm, on Friday evening Aug. 25, 1893. LOTTIK MILLER, Sec'y. U. S. Dist. Atty. J5. p.

McCabe of Jamison City, was instantly killed wbilc assisting to break a jam of logs in Blackberry ltun at said place, 011 Friday last. Deceased was in front of the jam and was run over by a log. Inter ment took place in tlie Gritman cemetery, Davidson twp., on Sun day. A western man has paid for bis town paper to January 1, 1927. Every time 110 gets on a spree he in sists on paying a year's subscription to the publisher. An effort will be made at the next press con vention to ascertain what brand of whiskey that fellow is drinking in order that it may be more generally placed on the market. The races to take place on the Dushore Driving Park, on Wednes day, 13th, Thursday 14th and Fri day the 15th of September, bids fair to be a success and entertaining. The officers of the association will spare no pains in making this race well worth your time of witnessing it. Remember the dates, 13th, 14th and 15th of September. F. P. Vincent, Geo. T. Doegan and Dr. Osier of Dushore, were over to Laporte and made out an appli cation for a charter for the Dushore Driving Park, before Proth'y. Walsh, on Tuesdaj*. We understand that the officers of the Driving Park will take steps immediately to have the ground accepted by the trotting as sociation. The Bloomsburg Sentinel in a re. cent issue denounces the system of electioneering for nominations in that county, with beer and whiskey. The Benton Argus heartily agrees with the Sentinel and complains that Ivrickbaum in his younger days, was the originator of the electioneering scheme. They say, plenty of corn makes plenty of whiskey, and that whiskey makes democrats. Guess Bros. Ivrickbaum and Smith have solved the sequel of the large Democratic majority of Columbia county. Amen. On Saturday evening August 26t1:, the Williamsport <fc North Branch passenger train will be run through from Nordmont to Laporte, for its first trip and beginning on Monday morning regular trains will leave Laporte at 7:30 a. m., and arrive in the evening at 7p. in. In about a week trains will run through at 12 noon and leaving at 3 p. m , making 1 a full double daily mail service. We understand that passenger trains will IUH through to Satter fielcl about September Ist or very soon after that date. Through western freight will be moved on September Ist. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Ward re turned to Laporte on Saturday and are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Keeler. Mr. Ward, for the past two or three months, lias had charge of a gang of men at work excavating a reservoir near Bethlehem, I'a. Mr. Ward explains these good Demo cratic times in Bethlehem like this : ''From five hundred to two thou sand men would visit the works daily in which I was engaged and beg for employment, sufficient to buy something to eat and to bacco." He thinks the laboring people will know their friends four years hence, and will vote a change of administration. Frank Mynard of Laporte, has one of the finest and best arranged little saw mills in this section of the county. Frank superintended the construction of the mill and it is first class. It is plauued similar to the Jeuning's mill at Lopez. The mill is erected on the bank of Mill Creek in the second ward. A dam has been built across the creek at the mill, which forms a body of water ; in this water logs are unload ed from wagons and hauled to the 2d story of the mill by steam power. Ilere a "nigger head" has been constructed and places the logon the carriage at the will of the sawyer. The capacity of the mill is about twenty-five thousand feet per day. The W& N. B. 11. R., is now a through line. The golden spike that holds the connecting link of the ex tension, was driven by Wm. Mc- Gee of Satterfield, on Sunday at I p. in. The connection was made near Nordmont and was witnessed by a large number of people. Both rails had to be cut to make the necessary length. This Superintendent Bently did in a very few minutes. Only about one-half of the number of ties are placed that arc required be tween Ringville and to where the connection was made. Mr. Bently claiming that this work can be done quicker and easier by running the train over the track and distributing the ties where they are needed. He hopes to have this work completed by the middle of next week. Then comes the balusteriog, apd the road wijl be completed. THE U4VNOR A CO. Sl IT. What an Officer ol the W. 4: M. B. K. It. Ila» to Say About It. From tbe Williamsport Republican. E. J. Gay nor, Son & Co., the rail road contractors, who held a meet ing with their creditors in this city on Friday, have brought suit against the Williamsport and North Branch Railroad company for SIOO,OOO, which they claim is due them for work done and material furnished. The Harrisburg Patriot in a re cent issue printed this news, and in its headline assumed that the Williamsport and North Branch railroad wss iu trouble and was likely to be sold to pay the claims of Messrs. Gay nor Son & Co. This is a mistake. The Williamsport & North Branch Railroad company is abundantly able to pay all of its obligations 011 demand and con siders itself in no way in debt to Messrs. Gaynor Son & Co. In a talk with an officer of the W illiamsport and North Branch railroad recently the gentlemen in answer to an inquiry about the suit brought by Messrs. Gaynor, Son & Co.: "While we are not dis posed to try our case through the newspapers as Messrs. Gaynor, Son & Co. appear to be doing I will say in brief that the Williamsport and North Branch Railroad company is not indebted to Messrs. Gaynor Son & Co., in an - amount of money what ever. The contract for the gradua tion and masonry was made by Gay nor, Son & Co., with the general contractor, who had a contract with the railroad company to build the road complete, including ties, rails, iron bridges, etc. But even as be tween the general contractor and Gaynor, Son Co., the latter have been overpaid. The attempt to create the impression in the wind of the public that eiLher the railroad company or the general contractor is indebted to Messrs. Gaynor, Son «fc Co., is evidently intended to modify creditors. But to put it mildly it scarcely is in good taste after bringing suit to attempt to create public opinion in their favor." The abutments for the iron bridge across Loyal Sock Creek at the World's End, on the new road from Forksville to Laporte, were completed 011 Tuesday. The contract for bijild ing the bridge is to bo let next Friday Sept. Ist, on the ground. As the bridge companies put up these bridges In a very short time, it is safe to predict that the bridge will be finished by Sept. court. Mr. Holtzhower has been at work 011 that portion of the road between Forksville and World's End with quite a large force of men for over a week. The work is all well under way except that portion in Forks twp., from World's End to the Shrewsbury line. This has not yet been let and the commissioners will get into trouble again if it is not let before Sept. court, as we under stand that there are parties ready to prosecute them for negligence and contempt of court. If they are again brought before the court they will doubtless get a sentence that will convince them that our court will not tolerate such open and de tiiant contempt of his orders. Why the road could not have been built this summer most people cannot understand. That it must be built just as soon as the bridge is finished is apparent to all. We predict a great deal of hauling overt'iisroad now that the 11. R., has reached Laporte. The western end of the county will ship nearly all their freight to La porte, as it will be their nearest It. R. station. The building of this road is one of the greatest improve ments in our county for a great many years. 1-llNt Krgiiueut Peuua. Vols. COM RAD R :—The next annual re union of this Grand Old Itegiment will be held at Towanda, Pa., Wednesday, August 30th 1893. The business meeting will be held in the Court House, at 11 a. m. Arrangements have been made for dinner at the Park Hotel, at 25 cents each. While we shall miss at this Re union, familiar faces of comrades who "have fallen before a foe they did not fear," let us who survive, rail}' once again around the dear old flag, once more clasp the hands that helped bear it onto victory; once more sing the old battle songs of the Republic, and let our hearts thrill with the undying memories of deeds that have inado our grand old Regiment immortal.

The total number of trout caught were ten. Jim cays Lake Mokoma is not iu it for i»rge fish, BALDWIN'S WORKS BCNNINC) SHORT. Falling Oflln Orders Nermitote* the Droppiug of MecliauleN From the Pay-Roll. Tbe Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, is fast approaching the point of a practical half shut down. "This month we will turn out eighty five engines ;in September we will turn out sixty ; in October we will turn out thirty engines if we get the orders. After that we don't know." These were the words of Superin tendent Vauclain at a recent date. His statements about the discharges and reductions of time of the men were still more significant. "The discharges you have heard of,"he said, "are only the begin ning. Within the next few weeks there will be reductions equivalent to the discharge of 2000 men. In the machine shops 300 men will be laid oft to-night. At the same time fifty night men go off from tbe iron and brass foundry. To-morrow the 1200 men remaining in the iron and brass foundry and pattern shop will be reduced to five days work a week, which i« equivalent to the dis charge of 200 men. The discharges will continue as the necessity re quires, until 2000 men will be off." A LACK OF ORDERS. "Are the discharges made gradu ally in order that they may fall easier on the workingmen ?" was asked. "They will occur just as the men get to the end of their string of work," was the reply. "The reduc tion will not appear in the output until next month. The output of August will be about the same as that of any month in the most flourishing period. The orders we are working on were received last spring. In July wo receivod orders for only six engines. Each depart ment works for the next department and the reductions occur as soon as a department reaches the end of its share of the work." "When do 3'ou expect a revival of business ?" was asked. "Abo<?t tlje fall of next year," was the response, for, perhaps as early as spring," be added in a tone that somewhat mitigated the prospect. "What is the cause of this great depression 112" "Luck of confidence," he said. "But what does lack of confidence mean? Why does not Biazil, for instance, need as many more engines to haul as much more wheat and cattle ?" TIIE PEOPLE TO BLAME. "Brazil ha? all the engines she wants," said the superintendent ; let us stay in tho United States. The people lack confidence to do busi ness with each other, the railroads have less hauling to do. and do not want any more engines from us." "If you do not expect a revival until next spring or fall then you do not expect action on the silver trouble to cause the revival ?" "No, I do not," was the reply. "Whether silver is freely coined at a ratio of 20 to 1 or CO to 1 or whether the Sherman law is uncon ditionally repealed ?" "No." "Then what is the cause of the lack of confidence ?" "The people voted a change of ad ministration," said the superintend ent j "but 3-011 must excuse me from discussing the cau r <3s. lam not a statesman or a financier. J simply know how to build engines when I've got them to build, I do not pro fess to know how Congress should make laws, but I think the people will next time elect a Congress that knows how to*make them " THEV ni.SI.IKE CLEVELAND. Teias Democrats Hanged the I'resldent In and Rid dled lllui With Bullets. Tezarkaxa, Ark., Aug. 20.—The majority of tho Democrats in this section are strongly in favor of the free coinage of silver and are natur ally much depressed with President Cleveland's late message to Con gress on that question. At Buchanan, Tex., a mass meet ing of about ISO voters, nearly all Democrats, adopted resolutions bitterly denouncing Cleveland as a champion of the money power and an enemy of the common people. The President was then hanged in elllgy and afterward shot and rid dled with bullets. The efligy is still hanging and it is understood that it will be publicly burned. If any of our democratic editors should become hungry during this administration, we would suggest to them to make a good, big, fat pot pie out of one of those large roosters that crowed so loud 1p 'MI, perched at the head of their :ns, and continue this duri Wgry season, which proml long t>ue.
