Stowe & Co., has the largest and , most complete company on the road. ( Every performer is a star in his or , lier line. , The excursions to Lake Mokoma, one on Thursday of last week and one on Saturday, were largely at* 1 tended. Prof. Meylert is doing some noticeable repairing to his residence ' on Main street. Frank always was progressive. Mr. Joseph Itobbins and family of near Nordmont, drove out to La porte and attended Episcopal church on Sunday. It is said that many police captains now on the New York force will be shovelling mud in the streets they patrolled before spring. The date of the commencement of the colored campmeeting at La porte. has been changed from the 4th of August to the 11th of August. Summer guests are not as numer ous at Laporte, as they were last season. This Democratic adminis tration of hard times has blasted the hopes of mauy a one. Dr. J. W. Murrelle of Athens Pa., will be in town about August Ist and will be pleased to see any de siring filling or artificial teeth. Will remain about one week, J. S. Murphy, editor of the Mon toursville JUc/to, was among the ex cursionists at Laporte on Saturday. He paid his respects to the ItKPU3- LICAN oflice while here. Four old soldiers of Shamokin and members of the Lincoln G. A. It. post of said place, died last week. Their names were: Jere Deitriok, Lorenzo liramer, James Sullivan and Darius S. Gilger. Sol diers of the rebellion are rapidly passing away, and ten years hence the ranks will be greatly reduced. "Keep cool," is easily sitid, but it is pretty hard to co it ftt this season oi the year. Laporte is said to be the coldest place on earth, but we yield to the sun light this season. Stowe & Co., monster Uncle Tom Cabin Co., will exhibit under can vass on the base hall ground Satur day evening, Aug. 4. The company comprises of 80 star artists. Ad mission 25 cents.

Enright of Lopez, will chance of his four hundred dollar horse. Have you purchased a ticket ? SI.OO might bring yon this valuable animal, $5.00 would increase your chances, however. Its record is 2.2G^. One of our contemporaries wants to know if there is any one who really thinks the change from Har rison to Cleveland was a good thing. Why, of course there is, Cleveland thinks so. A bakery should be opened at La porte. There is an excellent open ing here with Eagles Mere close at hand, for such an establishment, and a good industrious baker having pluck and energy, could without doubt make it pay. The following is said to be a sure cure for ants and will rid a house of them in ten hours: "Mix a pinch of tartar emetic with a teaspoonful of sugar and a little water, and place in a shallow dish where the ants are most frequent." The Towanda and the Eagles- Mere base ball clubs crossed bats at the 'Mere 011 Wednesday of last week. The score was: Eagles- Mere 22; Y. M. C. A 10. The To wanda boys say the slope of the ground had much to do with the re sult of the match. The fair and festival given under the auspices of the Ladies Aid So ciety of Laporte, on Friday and Saturday, was a complete success. The gross receipts were s<io. The handsome pieced quilt was won by Mrs, J. L. Smyth; 85 was the lucky number. Prof. Edwin E. Quintan, principal af the Susquehanna Collegiate In stitute of Towanda, was the guest 1 jf Mr. S. B. Kaine of Lnporte, • Saturday. During Mr. Quintan's c slay at Laporte he paid his respects 1 to the REPUBLICAN office and planted 1 mew ad. in ourcolumns. Observe it. 1 Notice. The Eagles Mere Baptist church J tvill be dedicated on Sunday August sth, 1594. The Rev. Jas. W. Pitt nan of New York city will preach j n the morning and evening. Good rocal and orchestral music may be . jxpected. The little baby girl, Bcrtelle, aged 7 months and 21 days of Mr. and ' Mrs. Eugene Tripp of Laporte, which was endeared and tossed iround by the neighbors in this ficinity of town, died of dysentery sn Saturday morning July 2Sth, 1894. Interment took place in Mountain Ash cemetery, on Mon -3 ay. The Laporte Building Association tield a special meeting on Tuesday evening and voted to countermand the order given James McFarlane for lumber and ordered the same af Jennings Bros, of Lopez, on Wednesday. Jennings Bros, will ship the lumber the last of this week when the carpenters can goto work without further delay and complete their contract. The 15th of August will be a »ala day in laporte. Come and bring your best girl with you. A llrst class orchestra will furnish music for dancing. Two brass hands will be here, too. 0' its going to be immense. Put on a clean shirt and get aboa'd the ex cursion. The people of Laporte will give you a right royal good time. The colored people of Williams port and Towanda have leased the Mason grove at the head of Lake Mokoma, where they will hold their campmeeting commencing on the 11th of August. They will charge 10 cents admission to the ground. Here is the way they put it on their hand bill: "On Sundays and Tem perance Days and other days ad mission will be ten cents." Father Enrlght has arranged a neat little chapel in one of the rooms of the Clark Bros, store building at Lopez. It will seat in the neighbor hood of 100 people. The altar and ultar fixtures, etc., were designed by Fr. En rig lit and built under his personal supervision by Martin <k Co. The room is painted snow white and the rich curtains and furnishings in general give it a very cheerful and pleasant appearance. Father Jjju right takes pleasure in mentioning the lact that the money necessary for the work, was contributed by the people of Lopez irrespective of creed. A.n effort ts being made to induce Congressman Wolverton to recon sider his declination to be a can didate for renomination. The Democratic leaders in the Seven teenth distiict do not approve of tin' scheme to hoi s t the antiquated Buckalew on their ticket, and their movement against him is reported to he meeting with considerable success. The Democrats are kicking against l'uckalew's age and inilrm aties, while many are doubting the genuineness of his Democracy, llis action when the force bill was in Congress in supporting the position of Speaker Reed is being unearthed now greatly to his injury. In view of the dissatisfaction prevailing it is not at all improbable that the lead ers of the disti ict will succeed in in ducing Mr. Wolverton to make a sacrifice of his business interests and censent to stand again for the election. It is believed, however, that Mr. Wolverton has lost a great deal of his strength, and that the chances of his defeat are considered as reasonable by Republicans. Mrs. John M. Nafus nee Miss Adda Van Fleet, died of malaria fever at her home in Fleetville on Friday last. Deceased resideded and spent her younger days in La porte and was much beloved by her associates. She haves a husband and one child, a little boy about seven years of age, father, Mr. Jesse Van Fleet of Fleetville ; one sister, Mrs. McCracken, Louieville, Ky., and two brothers, Adolphus \ an- Fleet, of Ohio and 11. E. VanFieet of Binghamton, N. Y. The many friends of the family here, extend sympathy. Interment took place at Fleetville on Monday. Cyius Miller of Sonestown, died on Monday morning. Deceased was an old soldier and a good citizen. At the time of his death he was doinsi the farming 011 the Dr. Roth rock farm. Several months ago Hoke Smith discontinued his pen sion and it is alleged that this caused him lots of worryment, not withstanding the fact that it was given back to him a few days before his death. Deceased was about 52 years of ago and leaves a wife and several grown up children. Inter ment took place in the Sonestown cemetery, on Wed n esday. Tlmt was a Sunday school pic nic at Lake Mokoma Saturday. Notwithstanding this, however, the class was eager to dance. The minister present positively refused them this pleasure, but they would not heed and formed for a quadrille, when Mr. Mason, owner of the grove was called upon and ordered the procedure stopped. The class made two attempts, hut were over powered in both instances. They brought a full orchestra with them evidently with the intention of join ing hands 011 the platform. Let a man drop a piece of meat on the floor, 110 difl'erence how clean the floor may be, ho will either give it a kick or pick it lip and lay it to one side. He will never eat it But let him drop his plug of tobbaco 011 the street, and 110 difl'erence how dirty the street may be he will pick it up, give it a careless wipe on his coat sleeve, or on the bosom of his pants and then take a chaw from it with a kneenei relish than ever. Watch for the Big Uncle Tom Cabin Co. parade, when the pack of bloodhounds, with "Max" the §I,OOO beauty man hunter who has a record of bringing to justice 0T of the most desperate criminals of the south. Eva and her pet pony ; Prof. Fred Clymers challenge band. Don't fail to witness the greatest production of that former drama produced on the largest scale known by Stowe & Co. original Uncle Tom's Cabin. The colored camp meeting at La porte, which we announced in our last week's issue would commence on the 4th of August, has been changed to the 11th. This change was made owing to the fact that one or two buildings, platform for speak er, tables and benches are to be erected for the accommodation of the visiting guests. To have held it on the 4th would have mado the time too short for the completion of this work, hence the change of date, Mrs. H. E. Van Fleet of Bingham ton, who has been visiting friends in Laporte for the past week, left for Fleetville on Saturday evening, where she will attend the funeral of Mrs. John M. Nafus, a sister-in-law, on Monday. Mrs. Van Fleet was called away very suddenly and left on the evening train Saturday. She hopes to return again the last of this week. James l'itcher, a butcher nnd a well known character, attempted to ; shoot his wife, on the streets of To > wanda, Saturday evening, between . 6 and 7 o'clock. MINK ACCIDENT AT WEST PITTNTOS. C'ol. A. Mason, a Former To wtuitliiiii Instantly Killed In a SIIHU. The shocking news was received in Towanda about two o'clock Thurs day afternoon that Col. A. (J. Mason, a former citizen of our town, had been killed in one of the mines near West l'ittston. No other informa tion was to be obtained, and t' ~ au thenticity of Ihe report was lor a time questioned. But later the sad news was confirmed. The accident happed at the West Pittston shatt at 10:30 Thursday morning. Supt. Mason with the mine foreman at Exeter colliery, the assistant miniug engineer Robert S. Mercur, and Joseph Barrell, in structor in mining engineering at Lehigh University, had been in the mine inspecting its workings, pre paratory to making changes. On the return, when about 30 feet up, the carriage caught, the uprights were pulled loose, and the carriage fell. Mr. Mason lived until taken out and carried to his home. Mr. Wilson died at 2:15 in the after noon, and the others are not serious ly injured. The deceased who was 55 years of age, was a son of the late Colonel Gordon P. Mason, and twenty-five years ago was associated with his father in the banking business here. Nearly twenty years ago he res moved to Wes( Pittston, where his home has since been. Ho was di vision superintendent of the col lieries of the Lehigh Valley Coal company in and around West Pitt ston, and was considered one of the most faithful superintendents in the company service. Ho was a brother of Mrs. Maria A. Watkins and Edward M. Mason of this place, and of Mrs. Searle of Montrose, lie leaver a wife and three children, one of whom is a student at Lehigh university. The Hobert S. Mercur, who was on tlic carriage, is a son of the late , Frederick Morcur, who was also a former resident of Towanda.—To wanda lie view. A Kui ll ill FrogN. > A dispatch froin Cainbridgcport, Muss., on Tuesday, says : "It I rained frogs at Cambridgeport ; during a fierce shower this after noon. Tens of thousands of them 1 fell over a small area—perfectly formed little fellows, dark brown, ' almost black in color, not more than an inch and with uncommonly j prominent eyes. Where they came from and how they got here scien tists must answer if they can, but here they are and none the worse for their serial journey. They ap- ' peared as in a twinkling and streets and sidewalks fairly swarmed with the liveliest sort of a hopping army where none was to be seen a minute before." Railway conductors see a great I deal of the dishonest side of humani j ty. A very large number of the people who travel seem to believe that railroad companies, like "Uncle Sam, are rich and can stand it to be gulled. Aside from the professional dead beats there are scoies who will be a little short of enough money to pay their fare, others will claim to have lost their ticket or to have been robbed, some will plead that they are going to see a dying rela tive and are without money—i»i fact every couceivablc sort of subter fuge is resorted to to deceive the conductor or to appeal to his sym pathies. There is little wonder that he sometimes should lose his pati ence and his faith in humanity gen erally. We fan Sluuil More ol It. The shower which passed over this section about 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon was a very welcome one. The thermometer had been register ing in the nineties for two days and the cooling which the atmosphere received even before the ruin reach ed us was very refreshing. There was a change of several degrees in a very short time, and light wraps were not uncomfortable. The rain was very heavy while it lasted and did a great deal of good in this section. Every business man who adver tises judiciously and then treats his customers honestly, courteously and fairly is bound to get business, and the more business he secures and r holds the better it is for the town. No man can make a success of his , business without helping his neigh bors. Therefore let none be envious . of prosperity that has been fairly [• and legitimately earned. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Tripp of t Shunk, Mr. and Mrs. Milo Tripp } and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Tripp and little daughter of Canton, attended " the funeral of the little infant child » of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Tripp, at Laporte, Monday. Wh) He quit. A retiring newspaper man gives this philosophical reason for quit ting the business: "A child is born, the doctor in attendance gets $lO, the editor notes it and gets 9; it is christened, the minister gets $4, the editor wiitea it up, gets 00 ; it marries, the minister gets another fee, the editor gets a pioee o! cake or 000 ; in course or time it dies, the doctor gets from $5 to $lO, the minister another $5, the under taker *25 to $50 —the editor pub lishes it and receives 0000—and the privilege of running free of charge a card of thanks." Sneezing is all light in its way, but should not be indulged in too ardently or painfid consequences may ensue, as illustrated iu the case of a young man of Patterson, N. J., who sneezed his shoulder out of joint. This is tho hardest sneeze on record. Frank Otterbeiu broke ground (or a new blacksmith shop, on West Main street last week. Teacher* \ormul Institute.
