THE REPUBLICAN W. M. CHENEY. - - - - Editor. FRIDAY, MARCH 00, 1S!)4. Entered at the Post Office LaPorte, Pa. as second claps mail matter. Judge JleUgor'n IMain Talk. Judge Metzger, of Williamsport, created quite a sensation in court on Saturday at the conclusion of action on a number of deferred liquor license applications. He drew from his pocket a copy of the local organ of the prohibitionists, which made an attack on him "for granting such a large number of licenses and giv ing men the licensed privilege to make criminals who would later ap pear to be sent to prison." The Judge read the article,and then said that he was growing tired of that kind of criticism. "These people act," he said, "as if I could do as I please in this mat ter, whereas they sit idly by and make no effort to prevent the grant> ing of the licenses that are so ob jectionable to them. They do not •▼en get up remonstrances, but wail until action is taken and then abuse the court. If they would come intc court and show good cause that s license should not be granted 1 would reject the application. Whei: applicants comply with the law, how •ver, and no objeetiou is raised, it is my duty to act favorably, as I hav< done in the past, and as I propose tc do in the future. If these peoph want to stop the granting of licenses they must aot, not talk. Talk is cheap." CORBErf A.\l> JACKSON. What the Champion Say h Con eeruing the Coming Fight. CINCINNATI, March 27.—Th< Champion James J. Corbett lasi night gave the following statement of hi* position: "I see that Jack ■on recently said that [ was afraii to fight him, and that he would fol low me to England, and cithei force me to fight or ruin mv Eng lish engagement financially hounding and harrassing me. J have already stated I would nol fight outside of this country until H was proved conclusively that it is impossible to get the light off ir America. The articles signed b) Jackson and myself call for the fighl to take place in America, and th< fact that I have said I would nol fight in England while there wast chance to fight iu America has giver Parson Pavies an opportunity t< make one of his characteristic bluffs As champion it is my place to iiami the battle ground. I have naiuei America. Jackson has signed foi America and that ought to end it When it is shown beyond doubt tha I cannot fight in my native land then I will agree to some othei country. In view of what has passed in pugilistic circles, Petci Jackson, on account of his color ought to feel highly flattered that J eyer recognized him as a fighter." TO GET IHEJI" Oil IX K. A Scheme ou Foot to Oisband Coxey's Army. CANTON, 01110 March 20 ,—A scheme to furnish the Common weal army with 15 or 20 gallons, o: bad whiskey has been set on foot, it hopes that the soldiers may gel drunk and break up the expeditior before it gets beyond Alliance. Whether this scheme is carried oul or not, there is good prospects thai trouble will be had within the nexl day or two. Many of the Common weal Boldiers are murmuring againsl Marshal Louis Smith, "the greal unknown,'' who has shown an ar rogant spirit in governing them They threatened to turn on him and "kick all kinds of stuffing out oi him." The Commonweal partv pitched Camp Peffer at Louisville Ohio, this afternoon and at present all is quiet on Buck Run. • mm* . Careful readers of the REPUBLI CAN, doubtless, have observed in Its columns from time to time, wher matter appertaining to the honor oi the town, have been called in ques tion by outside parties, the earnest and spirited words of its editor in refutation of the same. Inasmuch as it has fallen to m> lot to visit the peoplo of Laportc anil surroundings in the interest of twe of its residents, meeting with a loss I desire to add my testimony to till practical sympathy of the donors spoken toon the subject.

A little infant cliild of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. lleim, of Laporte, died on Tuesday night. Burial in Moun tain Asli cemetery, to-day, Thurs day. T. r. Reitmeycr of Wilhamsport, was doing business at Laporte, Wednesday. Mr. Reitmeycr is an able 3'oung man and a pleasant con versationalist. Stewart & May proprietors of tho Laporte Hotel, will give their grand opening hall on next Friday even ing, April Gth. A good time is an*, ticipated. A general invitation is extended. Chas. Landon broke ground for his new residence on West Meylert street, Wednesday. W. J. Law rence who owns the lot joining Mr. Landon's also contemplates build ing a neat little dwelling on the same, this summer. We are told that at least 6 or 8 dwellings will be built at Laporte this season. B, G. Welch general manager of the W. & N. I}. 11, R„ accompanied by John Jr., of Hughes ville, came up to Laporte on a special Wednesday. W. C, Mason Esq., joined them here enroute for Satter field where they went to look over a piece of land near the Sattcrfield Junction with a view of purchasing it for the Rail Road Company. Lawrence Bros, have awarded the contract of erecting the foundation of the new courthouse to John McNamar of Towanda and John Cantwell, who commenced the same this Thursday. They have in their employ a half dozen men or so and expect to complete the contract, if this weather hold out, by the Ist of May. We only know personally one of the contractors—John Mc- Namar,and would say of him that with fire water without he is a good man and with fire-water within he is a sham. John is no exception to the rule and we would urge that John re main John during the fullfillment of this contract. We say this for the good of our friend and not for any purpose of oflense and trust it will so be taken. The REPUBLICAN very seldom speaks of the habits of our fellow citizens, for the very good reason that we think it is words thrown away, but in this case, we have ever reason to believe that it will not be fruitless. There have been many stories put in circulation in regard to the ab sence of Henry Harding, Esq., and nil of them appear to be erroneous. To say the least it is unjust for any person to repeat hearsay in such a matter. Tho facts of the case are that on the 28th of February Mr. Harding left home, as was thought, togo to Philadelphia, but he did not go there, and his prolonged absence lead to an investigation which re sulted in the finding of a sealed package directed to his brother, Sa muel Harding, of Eaton township. The package contained a letter in whreh Hemy Harding stated that his health was such that he was un able longer to attend his business matters, and therefore he was forced to take a rest. He explained that he was unable to close up his busi ness, and gave his brother power of attorney to do so for him, stating that should his health improve suffi ciently be would return, and as soon as there was improvement he would be heard from. Samuel Harding and his attorneys are now at work closing up his business, which has been found all straight. No other package than the one to his brother has been found. Henry Harding is worth considerable property, and ill health is the only reason, of which there is any evidence, for his de parture from home. This is a cor rect statement of facts in the case, and there is no ground for further uncharitable surmise on the matter. Tunkhannock Republican. SIIUNK ITEMS. Charley got his ear bit.
