THE REPUBLICAN! W. M. CHENEY. - - - - Editor. FRIDAY, MAY 18, 18U4. Entered at the Post Office LaPorte, Pa. as second class mail matter. The rial American wotkingman is still minding his own business and awaiting election day. He isn't tramping, shouting, or throwing ■tones. Rumor has it that Hon. G. G. Wood, Democrat, of Muncy, will be a candidate for State Senator from the Lycoming-Sullivan-Columbia- Montour district this full. The closing of factories «wing to the scarcity of soft coal is another evidence of the far-reaching-effects of a strike. Thousands who have BO interest are compelled to suffer. O. L. Herman, extra freight con* ductor on the W. & N. 8., met with a painful accident on Saturday. His train was making a flying switch at the Laporte depot, when he slip ped and fell ofT a car and struck on a large stone cutting a fearful gash on his head. Mr. Herman con siders himself quite fortunate how ever that he was not thrown under the car. When he realized that he could not save himself, he sprang and barely escaped being crushed under the wheels of the moving train. If times have been hard and busi ness slow, those merchants who have wisely continued their advertising in the newspapers have done the cream of the business, getting the largest share of the trade that is going. In fact, trade naturally flows to those who have the spirit and courage to ask for it. As a contemporary says : "It is a fatal mistake for business men to lose courage in dull times and to imagine that trade is so bad that it is useless to work it up by commanding pub lic attention." Largest NllverNugKet Ever Mined Aspen, Col., May 5. —A nugget has been hoisted out of the Smug gler Mine that for size surpasses anything on record and for richness is certainly most remarkable. A few days ago the workmen en countered a huge body of ore, and In digging around it ascertained that it was a monßter nugget. After considerable work they succeeded in hoisting it to the surface intact. The chunk weighed 3,300 pounds, and contained silver to the value of $25,000. It is the largest silver nugget ever known, and is almost pure. Captain William Gable of Sha niokin has been requested by his friends to accept the nomination for Congress, subject to the will of the Republican conference. He says he is in the hands of his friends and 1 will accept the nomination if it is the desire of the Republicans throughout the Congressional Dis trict. The Captain served two terms in the State Legislature as a repre sentative from Northumberland coun ty, and was Deputy Collector of the twelfth district under ex-President Harrison. Captain Gable is spoken Of very favorably by Republican friends in this section. The report circulated that Mr. Brown editor of the Blooinsburg Republican, was a candidate for Congress, seems to have been un - lounded, as the Columbia county conferees have expressed a will to cast their vote for Mr. Gable. Either of these gentlemen would do honor to their constituents. A tu Well Spotting 50,000,000 Feet a Owjr. Fostori v, 0., May 15.—One of the most phenomenal gas wells ever known was discovered just west of Foatona last night by the Chicago Oil Company. The well is situated on the James Wallace farm in Han cock county, The drill had only reached the depth of 350 feet when gas was struck, which fact makes the well more of a prodigy. B i„ ce gas or oil was never known to have been found here at a depth less than from 1,000 to 1,600 feet. The drillers heard the roar of eas as the drill tapped the reservoir and ran for their lives. The drill was hurled to a height of 100 feet. The yas at once ignited from the fires of the boiler and shot a steady flame 150 feet into the air. Enough oil is thrown out with the gas to keep a large space surrounding the well as a lake of fire, and it is impossible to get closer than 100 feet to the bums ing well. The entire plant of the drillers, including the engine and boiler, is a total loss. The surround iog country is a boggy, l o w, we t ! place and for a quarter of a mile ' around the gas is coming up through the earth with such force that ground and water are thrown to a height of 1 ten feet or more. 0 1 The roar of the gas can bo heard , for nearly ten miles. Oil men de clare that nothing like it wss ever ' knawn. It is an entirely new terri tory, and is supposed to be a pocket which will soon blow itself out. At its present rate it can never be ( brought under control. Its volumes t goes above all records, being estis • mated at 50,000,000 feet per day. Henry Swank Esq., of Muncy Vallev, wns transacting business in town, Wednesday. Miss Ettie Chase of Lnporte, will leave for Sim a nahoniug, Pa , on Friday, where she will spend the summer with her grand parents, Mr. and Mrs Blodget. We placed six new subscribers on our book Wednesday. They were as follows: John Swingle, Lee Porter, Samuel Leonard, B. P. De witt and W. W. Wright of Shunk, and P. Kline, of Piatt, Pa. Mrs. Christiana King, of King villt, died Tuesday morning at the age of 77 years. Mrs. Ring leaves five sons and two daughters. In tcruient, to-day, Thursday, in the German cemetery, near Dushore. We were down to Williamsport Friday and while walking up the street we noticed a dozen or more printers standing in groups of threes and fours. The way we caught on to their printership—they were cleaning their finger nails with com positor's rules. Sirce the printer's strike down there they have lots of time for this work while the Phila delphia boys are doing type at 28 and 30 cents per thousand. A colored crank by the name of Matthew A. Cherry, visited the Capitol on Monday and attempted to have a conversation with Speaker Crisp, but was refused ; from thence he went to the gallery and addressed the Speaker saying that if the Coxey bill relating to the improvements of roads, was not pnssed, the White House, Treasury and Capitol would be destroyed by thunder and light ning. He was arrested and locked up and during his imprisonment he remarked to an officer that unless the Coxey bill was made a law by the 24ih of this month the Government buildings would be destroyed by bombs. There seems to be more cranks under this administration than ever before. Perhaps the ad ministration sets the example. SiKELTOw, PA., MAY 7th, 1894. After considerable litigation and having other difficulties, the Citizens Electric Railway Company have suc ceeded in completing a connecting line between Harrisburg and Oberlin. On Sunday morning regular trips were commenced over the entire line.... Work at the Pennsylvania Steel Company's plant has been on the increase for last month.
