Congressman Simon P. Woolver
ton of Sunbury, met with a painful
accident at Washington Wednesday
night of last week. While walking
down the steep hill on 14th street,
or Newspaper row, he fell heavily
upon the slippery sidewalk. He is
a heavily built man and his entire
weight fell upon his right hand,
lacerating it and breaking some
smaller bones. lie suffered excru
ciating agony. Mr. Woolyerton was
granted leave of absence and return
ed to Sunbury.
The Republican even though it
is a trifle hard on Democracy, is
considered the only political paper
published in the county, by our
neighbor Democrat. Our opponents
are frank in expressing this. They
give us credit, too, for the possition
we take, while the other "(eller 'is
condemned. We print our colors on
the first page— "REPUBLICAN," hence
there is no deception about it.
The Governor will be obliged to
call a special election to choose a
successor to Gen. Lilly. The whole
state will participate in the election.
In order to save au unusual expense
it is presumed that I'attison will

have an important bearing upon the
result and it is unfortunate that the

pleted for nearly three months.

The publication made by the Phil
ipsburg Ledger of a story concern
ing 802,030 having been hidden
somewhere by the famous bandit
Lewis, has set a lot of people at work
searching for the treasure. Near
Milroy, in Millliu county four per
sons, one of whom is a woman, are
making a thorough search, having a
chart to direct their efforts. Wolf
llocks, in Clearfield county, has been
| visited by scores of people who are
anxious to find the 8'>2,000. New
stories relating to Lewis and Conley
are coming to light every day, and
ei.ch one of them locates the treasure
in a new place.
The other day, says tlio llellefonte
News, a very modest and absent
minded young lady, who lives on
Bishop street, went to the mill for
some flour. She gave the clerk what
she thought was a neatly folded and
ironed pillow slip. The clerk
emptied one scoop of flour and it
went right through to the floor.
Just then a horrifying discovery
was made that what had been
taken for a dainty little sack had two
outlets, andeaoh outlet was trimmed
with embroidery. The clerk fainted
and the young lady rendered him no
assistance but returned home at a
double quick gate.
Scu ANTON", Dec. 10—President
Judge Archbald created a sensation
to-day by rebuking in the most
stinging manner possible a jury that
after being out since Saturday after
noon came In this afternoon with a
verdict of not guilty in the case of
Absolom Arnold, charged with adul
tery. The evidence was so strong |
that no defence was offered. The
court told the jurors that their ver
dict was a blot upon the court record
and they ought to be ashamed of
themselves, lie has not spen any
thing like it during the nine yearß he

E VS'roN, Dec. 10, —The chief con
cern of the Lehigh Valley Company
just now is tlio gotting of enough
engines to move its freight and coal
business. Twenty-five engircs at
least are in the shops awaiting re
pairs, the shop hands being compell
ed to work overtime. The company
has thoroughly re-organized matters
and began to-day to run with old
time regularity. Thus far twenty
three old engineers and firemen have
been ordered back on their engines.
Several engineers have been sent
out with new lircmen. The engineers
did not like this, but had togo or
lose their oppotunity,
S. S. Steafather of Lopez, demand
ed of the Co. Coin's. $2,000 dama
ges on Monday sustained by fall
ing off the Lopez bridge and break
ing his wrist, sometime ago. It was
like this: Young Steafather was
crossing the bridge when a colt was
led on the sfruuture. The horse
switched its ta'l and Steafather sup
posing that meant kick, jumped one
side losing his balance, fell to the
bed of the creek. The bridge when
built was boarded up some three feet
on either side. Some days previous
to this accident it is said that some
person tore off a part of this siding
and Steafather claims to have fallen
through this hole. We do qot think
a jury of twelve men can he found
in the county that will award Mr.
Steafather damages under these cir
cumstances.
Were we in tho habit of compli
menting hotel bars, a rich ons would
be in store for Hotel Kennedy, this
week. Their bar is stocked, judging
from the fancy bottles in sight, with
the largest assortment of goods such
as their license permit them to sell,
ever brought to Laporte. We do
not say this to increase the drinking
trade, but as a matter of fact.
The passengers arriving at Laporte
on the 2:40 train Saturday, took a
fast ride up the Mokoma hill. Clias.
Lancr met the train with a spirited
team, and on starting at the depot the
horses made a jump, striking the
hind runner of the sleigh against the
corner of the depot porch, throwing
grips and bundles in every direction.
Among the passengers were Mr. and
Mrs. Huckel, of Dushore. The Mrs.'
hat went sailing in the air at a long
distance. The horses were got under
controlc so..ie twenty rods from
where they started and the packs
were picked up and placed in the
sleijjh. It was quite exciting as ull
expected to witness a destructive
runaway.
Mr. Burwell who gave a temper
ance lecture in the M. E. church at
this place, Friday eveuing, was greet
ed with a full house. People of the
'Mete, Sonestown and Nordmont
were among tho audience and all ex
pressed a very pleasant evening In
his remarks he questioned the chris
tian people for voting other than the
Prohibition tickot, and thought this
class equally responsible fortheex
istance of the whiskey traffic as their
neighbor landlord. Mr. Burwell
entertains that the platform of the
Prohibition party will be elected in
the distant future, but that it will bo
given a new name. He spoke very
favorable of Gov. Mc Kin ley. This
was very kind of him and justifies
that he is a man of good judgment.
Wm. Bird, I). K. Eppler and 1).
11. Eppler of Forks township left for

of November. They returned home
on Friday of last week. Each one
of the party killed a large doer and
enjoyed a pleasant outing. Will mot
with had luck, however. He slayod
his venison late in the afternoon and
hung it up in the woods for the
night. On his return the next
morning lie was surprised to find the
carcass of his deer mutilated by wild
beasts. A light skiff of snow was
on the ground and Will delected his
intruder to be a huge bear and re
solved to follow it to its hiding place.
Accordingly lie joged along on the
trail for several miles, but on reach
ing the ledge of rocks concealing the
bear, he was confronted by a party
of hunters who were about to deal
•tho death blow upon bruin who had
recently breakfasted upon his
precious and hard earned deer meat.
He was mad and hit the bear a kick
dislocating his big toe. Tho party
captured three bear in this ledge of
rocks and were looking for more
when Will left them in disgust,
Muy E:«'o|X'ii Ilie Strike.
BUFFALO, N. Y., Dec. 10.—The
Lehigh strike may bo reopened in
all its intensity. An official circular
has been prepared which will be pro
mulgated oil Monday, addressed to
the employes oti the Northern (Buf
falo) division, announcing a reduc
tion jn wages.
The employes of this division have
enjoyed a pay schedule which
has been the envoy of railroad
men in the service of other compan -
ies. The present reduction applies
to yard engineers, firemen and road
firemen.
Tlie new scale fixes the pay of
yard engineers at 25 cents an hour,
yard firemen at 1G cents an hour foi
the first six months, 17 cents for the
next six months, cents after
that; road firemen $1.90 a day for
the first sjx months, $2. for the sec
ond six months and $2.10 after that.
The peculiar feature of this order
is that it will not affect the Lehigh's
old employes who did not go out on
strike last month. They are to re
ceive the old wages as a reward for
their fidelity to the company in its
hour of trouble.
The new schedule will effect the
outsiders and the Brotherhood men
taken buck. The leaders of the Fed
erated Brotherhoods have eotinceled
tho meu not to be harsh or hasty in
passing judgment on the action taken
by the road officials. The chief of
the Brotherhood said to tho Assoeiat
ed Press correspondent: u Wc be
lieve In letting the officials back
down graoefhlly, not in trying to
humiliate them, because we have
won, but the temper of our men who
find their old places filled by incom
petent men aud are met with refusals
tore employ, has to be cooled by
cotitinualy application of seusible
advice. Now that this order has
been issued reducing wages, not on
the basis of relative competency or
length of service, but as a punish--*
incut for being a Brotherhood man.
it is possible that the men will insist
feppcninjj the strike again."'

CHICAGO, Dec. 10— It is estimated
that the number of unemployed in
this city is nearly 117,000, and so
great had their suffering become
that the Illinois Conference of Char
ities and Corrections, at a special
meeting yesterday appointed a com
mittee of 100 representatives to at
once proceed to raise a charity fund
of one million dollars for the relief
of the most pressing wants of the
worthy and deserving poor. Editor
Steed, who was present at tho meet
ing suggested that if the ministers
and millionaires were turned out in
to the streets for ono night the
money would be forthcoming at once.
VV. P. llend, of tho Citizens Commit
tee, made the assertion that such a
calamity had never visited Chicago
before. The city's elevators arc
bursting with supplies, he said, and
yet people are starving for want of
food. The sentiment of the meeting
seemed strong in favor of getting
the oity authorities to provide work
for ns many of the unemployed at
possible.
By actual count 1,119 men sought
shelter in City Hall for Tuesday
night, and as many more stowed
away on store floors last night.
Joseph Jefferson and Stuart Hobson
are arranging to give a joint perfor
