John Roseucrans of Laporte town- Bhip, lost a valuable horse on Thurs day last. Judge Phillips of Muncy Valley, was transacting business in town, Monday. Chan. Lee's great London show is coming this way. They exhibit in Muncy this Saturday. Last week's record of railroad ac cidents is not calculated to inspire confidence in travellers. Miss Margaret N. Kutz of La porte, spent Sunday with her parents and friends in Hughesville. It is costing our county in the neighborhood of $3.50 a week to board our prisoners elsewhere. Mr. Geo. B. Crossley, brother of our townsman, F. M. Crossley, is proprietor of the Benton Hotel. R. A. Conklin who has charge oi the repairing of the eastern end of Mokoma street, is doing a first class job. A new side walk has recently been built on South King street and along the premises of Win. Lawrence. Dr. J. W.

He will be absent from home a week or ten days. A new side walk has recently been layed in front of the Laporte Hotel. The change is a noticeable improvement. A blooded cow owned bj A. Cole of Dushorc, was struck by lightning on Thursday evening last and in stantly killed. F. M. Crossley contemplates establishing a coal yard at Laporte. Frank would make a first rate co: Phila delphia on Wednesday. The present Lake Mokoma depot ) id pretty nearly out of sight. We liope for a very handsome one in the near future, however. DlKnr—On Sept. 2, Martha E. tfoody, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Noodv of Coinrud, Pollercoun .ty, Pa., aged 18 months. D. J. Slieehan and Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Flynn of Jamison City, were -called to the siek bod of their sister* .Miss Anna Sheehan, on Sunday. It is a recognized custom nowa days for a girl to buy a pair of tdeeve* and get the rest of the gar ment with what money she lias left. There were almost a <|uarter of a million paid admissions to the World's Fair on Pennsylvania day. H >me of the other states might d<> as well. A strain threshing machine in Un hands of inexperienced men generally blown up. The season For these ac cident* has arrived and fatalities are being recorded. The residence of Henry Kohen Sparger of Laporte twp., is (icing rt) . piircd snd painted. When com pleted it will present a very credit able appeurance. There is nothing in the latest event at the White flotiie to make the free silver im ii happy. It's another girl end Mr. Cleveland may undoubtedly be taid to U* dcvuUd to the single standard. R. M. Storinont of Laporte, was shopping in Willianisport Monday. Several trotting liorses were led through towu Monday, en-route for the Dushore raco track. The real estate market in New Vol k city gives evidence of the commencement of activity. The end of last week showed the sale of a large number of properties at good prices. Look out for counterfeit five dol lar Government hank notes, which have become alarmingly plentiful. More than that, they are cleverly executed and well calculated to de ceive any other than experts. Atty. C. La Hue Munson and wife of Willianisport and John A. Beaver and wife, president of the First National Bank of Willianisport, made Laporte and Lake Mokoma a call on Monday. A good part of the interior of the Laporte Hotel, including the office the bar room and the parlor lias re cently been painted and papered and presents a very creditable appear ance. Geo.

Interment in David son cemetery. The switch at the Laporte tannery is about completed. This siding will be used for depositing bark at the tan nery and shipping leather. It surely will be very convenient for Mr. Mc- Farlane Co., in the way of re ceiving and shipping freight. Little baby Ruth Cleveland has a new sister. It was born on Satur day noon. It is said that the Presi dent expressed a hope that his sec ond child would be a boy, hence, he is disappointed. The mother and daughter are doing as well as could be expected. Geo. W. Sanders, lumber manu facturer, and who has been engaged at this business for some time past on Hock Run, near Glen Mawr, moved his saw mill to near Thome dale, on Monday.

An effort is to be made to get an appropriation from Congress to erect a suitable monument to the memory of Gen. Meredith, the first Treasurer of the L T nited States, whoso remains were buried in Mt. Pleasant township, Wayne county. Wo hope it will succeed. This is the season of the year when the farmer should have a care as to whom he consigns the products of his farm when shipping to com mission merchants in the city. Hundreds of dollars are lost every year by shipping to irresponsible parties. John Kelly of Overton and who was registered at the Exchange Hotel, Dushore, on Friday night got up in his sleep and walked out of a window ou the roof of the bar room department and fell off the building ; a distance of perhaps 12 feet. The full dislocated his shoulder ami injured him other wise. Miss Anna Sheehan of Laporte twp., was taken seriously ill on Thursday night of last week. Her recovery was thought very doubtful. At this writing, however, she is some better, but not entirely ojt of danger. Drs, Hill of Lapoite and Herrmann of Diuhorc, are in at tendance. Itrailll »l M I.title flirtation Two young ladies o( Nesoopeck, made friend* of two sleek-tongues! 1 young men at the Harveyville camp meeting. They were so much taken with them that they allowed the j young men to carry their gold | watches for fear they might lo*e tlient, and also allotted tlam to try on then gold rings. In a few miii. j utea the young rogues left them saying tiny would meet them later on and relurn their jewelry. The girls waited a loug while and then went in hunt of them, but the young t men could not be found. Girl* jou wiu»t not trust stiangen. Court will convene in the Institute room of the new school house next week. The room has been arranged for the occasion, as best we could. It was'nt planned for a court room, you know, hence, you will not ex pect all the conveniences of an ordinary court room. It answers the purpose right well, however. H. A- Knipe, conductor of the W. &N.B- R. R., and Bob Sim mons who looks after the throttle of the engine and the rest of the train crew, are a fine and accommodating corps of young men. They put up over night at Laporte now and are pleased with the change. Our peo ple welcome them in our midst. •Mr. Bently who is superintending the laving of the track of the exten sion of the W. & N. B. R- R., is the recipient of man3* compliments for his rapid and thorough workman ship. The track between Laporte and Nordmont is said to be the best along the line of Railroad. Mr. Bently is surely the right man in the right place. Two passenger trains visit La porte daily now. They leave and return as follows: Leave 7:45 a. m. Return 11:40 a. m. Leave 2:50 p. m. Return 6:50 p. m. The train remains over night at Laporte, When the road is completed through to Satterfield, however, the train will remain over night either at the Summit or Bernice. A mysterious document has been placed on file at the State Treasury, at Harrisburg, which cannot be opened until July 4, 2000. It gives notice of a certain sum deposited with the Girard Trust Co , of Phila delphia, to the credit of the state by a peculiar testator, who stipulated that the letter should not be opened until 2000. Miss Anna Quinn daughter of Michael Quinn of Cherry township, and Mr. John Rush of Hazleton, were married at the St. Basil's church in Dushore, on Tuesday morning of last week. James Quinn uncle of the bride and Mr. Darby Kennedy both of Laporte, were among the numerous guests in attendance at the ceremouy. The REPUBLICAN extends congratula tions to the newly married couple. Mr. Harnty has not even yet found a candidate for state treasur er. He seems to be looking for a man who will take the place and furnish a big campaign fund; but the men who could furnish the fund do not favor that style of spending their money. They are opposed, as it were, to payiug for feeling the day after election day as though they were in the midst of a cyclone. Eta )laiiii HIM Beeii .Harried. NEW YOUK, Sept. 12. —It has just become public that Eva Mann, the leading figure in the Robert Riy Hamilton bogus baby scandal, has been married for the past six months. Her husband is Edward Hilton, Hilton is a young Englishman and keeps a boarding house at 337 West 29th street. Constable Elwood Knouse, as sisted by H. F. Kelchner, took Wm. A. Welliver to Bloomsburg, Monday night, where he was placed in jail to await trial upon the charge of forging his uncle's name to a note for $225. Mr. George Welliver, the uncle whoso name was forged, made the charge and secured the arrest of the young man. The latter was given a hearing before esquire lllrle uian and in default of bail he was sent to jail.—Benton Argus. Tlio note in question was held by county commissioner S. K. Mcßride, who sold Welliver a team of horses and took his note as above stated. A lain la I ItlfMKO The Pennsylvania World's Fair Commissioners have resolved to present their State building to the City of Chisago afler the Kx|>osi tion. Its loeation, just opposite the Art Building, will make it use ful for kindred purposes. It is solidly built of brick, with iron girders, and is credited with being the handsomest building on the grounds ue*t to the New York building. It cost b5,000. A new swindle is lieing worked. Two men appear at a farm house and represent themselves as adver tising agents of a Jersey I'ity firm that is pulling up large bill hoards along the sides of the principal rail roads. I'pou these lioards would tie painted any advertising the ageut could pr»>eure. They draw up a contract giving them permission to put up a sign board ou their victim's farm and the farmer innocently signs what he sup|Hi»es to be a con tract. In time a note broker in New York city sends the farmer a letter advising him to settle a note for SIOO. On reading the contract carefully it is found to be (he same us a promissory note.— HE LOST HIS PENSION. The Portrait ot Cleveland No Longer Hangs on tlie Wall. A hotel landlord at Hammcrsly's Forks, who was a Cayenne pepper Democrat, received notice a few days ago to the effect that bis pen sion bad been discontinued. This unexpected information was, to the poor fellow, a cyclone that swept through his head, blinded him, paralyzed bis tongue and made his jaw bones rattle to such a degree that it seemed for a while, tbey would unhinge themselves and fly through his jowls out into the open air. Such a terrible shake-up he never before experienced. The idea that a good Democrat —one who al most idolized President Cleveland, worked hard day and night to help secure his election, should be treated in such a disgraceful manner, un nerved bim. After recovering from his stupor the first thing that at tracted his attention was a large portrait of Cleveland banging on the wall; with a tremendous leap he was at the wall and with both bands clutching tbe picture he hurled it to the floor, jumped upon it with both feet and swore that he was no longer a member of the Democracy. During the early part of last week a subscription paper was circulated in thiß vicinity for the purpose of obtaining money to prosecute the supervisors of Forks township for "contempt qf court"in the matter of unnecessarily delaying the grad ing of the Loyal So.k ioid leading from Laporte to Forksville and in accordance the supervisors were arrested OH Monday, This road was ordered opened by the court over a year ago. In response to this order Laporto boro., La porte twp., Shrewsbury twp. and Forksville boro., through which the road passes, have gone on and com plied with the order of the oourt, and have expended en the road nearly, if not more than one thou sand dollars. Tbe county commis sioners have contracted for an iron bridge at a cost of thirteen hundred and ninety-eight dollars. With all of this money expended, however, the public is debarred from the use of the road owing to the delay of that part in Forks township. Our people have grown tired of the slow way tbe Forks twp., supervisors have of doing business and have re solved to give them a pusher. The officers of Forks will remember that the Republican warned them of this, months ago. Iu response to tbe arrest—Super visors— David Molynoux and Geo. Lambert of Forks appeared before Kobt. Stormout J. P., of Laporte, early Wednesday morning. Atty. E. M. Duuham represented the plaintiffs. Tbe defendants were without counoil hence, Mr. Moly neux made the closing argument. The Justice, however, bound the ollicers over to appear at this term of court in the stun of $25. each. We are authorized to state in our columns that in pursuance of a promise made by tbe officials of the W. it X. B. Hail lload; passenger trains will run between Satterlield and Laporte in connection with the L. V. trains during court week. The people of Laporte as well as those of the northern districts, who desire to visit us on the above mentioned date, will no doubt be pleased with this sketch of news, Of late it has often been remarked that the railroad officials mean to do, to accommodate the public and this we credit a fair example of tbe re port, as all must know thai tunning passenger trains over their untinish.

An account in one of our con temporaries recently of the meeting in Bernville to raise money for the completion of the South Mountain Railroad, says the Heading Ilerald, stated that "the meeting lasted two hours and the Bernville Band lurn islied the music.' 1 This is a new de parture in railroad business. We don't know that we ever heard be fore of a brass band being present to assist in raising capital but we have no doubt that it is a good de parture. There seems to be a neces sity for some new ideas in railroad ing and this may be just what is needed. There has been lots of music over the South Mountain liailroad for the last fifteen years, but heretofore nobody has tried a band on it. It's too bad for our people that this freak in railroad business was'nt made known a few months ago. But*iuetM Locate. LIME for fertilizing and building, ad dress John B. Fox & Co., Hughesville, Pa.
