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

a good industrious baker having
pluck and energy, could without
doubt make it pay.

perance Days and other days ad
mission will be ten cents."

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

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.

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.

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.
