An excursion of about three hun dred people of Pennsdnle, visited Lake Mokoma, Saturday. They occupied the Mason grove and evi* dently enjoyed a very pleasant day Good clean thinking Democratic people, are frank in saying that this is going to lie a bad year for Demo cracy. Why wonld'nt it lie ? they have raised thunder all along the line. The Demurest base ball club of Williamsport crossed bats with the Muney team at the latter place, re cently. At the end of the ninth in ning the score stood thus : Muney 00 ; Demorest 11. There will lie an excursion from Williauis|Hirt to Lake Mokoma next Sunday morning.

They expect to have the building in readiness for the slaters by the of this week or the fore part of next. A few Democrats predict a sharp tilt in their convention next Tuesday, over the nomination for Member. They say that George is in it deeper than some people have anj 7 idea. It would be a surprise to many, if George should get there. Philo Kissenger and son Ellis of Eagles Mere, were doing busi ness at the county seat, Tuesday. They paid their respects to the REPUBLICAN office, while here. Philo is a good Democrat, but is some disgusted with the doings in Congress of to-day. The Republicans of Bradford county held their convention in To wanda on Thursday last and placed in nomination the following ticket: For Congress, Myron B. Wright; Representatives, F. L. Kirnner, A. S. Newman and F. W. Moore; Jury Commissioner, I». G. Wilmot. U. S. Dist. Atty. E. P. Ingham, met with a painful accident Satur day afternoon. He sprang from a wagon near the Lake Mokoma pavil ion and unfortunately alighted on a sharp wire nail, which penetrated his foot an inch or tnore. The wound was very painful and Ellery was confined to his room several days with it. Mr. A. L. Grim says he has been an old war horse in the Sullivan county Democratic party for years and feels that the party owes him the nomination for Member. As the Democratic party is noted for fulfilling all obligations, they will not overlook the old war horse. It is well for Mr. Grim that his party is so conservative. LATEU, : Mr. Grim has withdraw from the field. D. H. Lorah of Sonestown, re cently opened up a stone quarry on liis land iu the vicinity of Sones town. A sample of the stones taken from this mine, is on exhibition at the commissioners office anil is a handsome piece of rock. It is about two and a half inches in thickness, almost perfectly Hat on either side and its color is red tint, similar to red shale land. Dan feels that he has struck it rich and will make a business of mining the stone. I'ubliaUed by Request ol Dem ocrat. Tn voting lor candidates at the Democratic Delegate Election to be held Saturday Aug. 18th, where two or more candidates are running for the same office, the voter shows his first choice by making the figure (1) at the left of the candidates name who is his first choice and the figure (2) at the left of the candidates name of his second choice and writes the names of his delegates in the blank space left on the ballot for that pur pose. * The bricklayers engaged on the courthouse left for their homes in Williamsport on Thursday las' and will be absent about one week. During their vacation the carpenters will oi ect scaflohling and place the heavy timbers on the building. On Friday the carpenters ereeted with rope and tackle, two girders, each containing f>oo feet of lumber, over the court room proper. They were CO feet in length and were 10 by 12 inchea in thickness. Under the supervision of Mr. Clias. Lawrence these heavy timbers were putin place without a jar and the work progressed as if nothing extraordin ary was taking place. Will Cook did the grinding.

Yesterday, August 15th, was, as was advertised, a gala day at La - porte. The excursion came around the curve at 9:30 a. m.and at 10:00 a. m. There were two sections. Both were loaded down with people. The first section brought 7 coaches and the second 9. The Gcrmania and Bernice bands came in on the second section, when a line of march was formed to the grove. It was then announced that Father Enright would hold services in the Pavilion. With this over all joined in for a good time. The dancing was started and the numerous games putin mo tion. Rowing on the lake and rid ng on the steam boat were among the chief attractions. The HillsOrove band joined the gathering at about 11a. m.and with the three bands present, lots of music was in the air. The orchestra wae fromDushore and was complimented. The several peanut and ice cream stands did a large trade. In the afternoon n thunder shower came up and it rained hard for sev eral minutes. During the shower lightning struck J. A. Jordan's barn on East Meylert street and burned it to the ground. In the barn were several tons of ha}' and a quantity of lumber and farming implements owned by Mr. Jordan and a pair of bob sleds owned by Mr. llassen and two wagons owned by the Wheeler Bros, show compan}', one of these wagons was saved the other things went up in smoke. There was no insurance on the building and the loss is estimated at about four hundred dollars. The excitement of the fire had hardly been quieted when word was circulated that a young man had been drowned in the lake. This was false, however. There was'nt one word of truth in the ru mor. During the gale a boy lost his hat in the water and thus the story originated- The excursion left at 7:30 p. m. and all expressed a good time. It was estimated that there were 2,000 people present and we guess the figures were none too high, The doings were both socially and finan cially a success and Father Eoright was more than pleased with the large gathering. It is too early to give the receipts of the day, but they were large, very large. We will give the exact amount in our ne.\* issue We assure you that Father Eu right, the people of Laporte and the committees in charge, did all iti t licit power to give the visiting guests a good time and are glad to know that everybody enjoyed themselves and a good dinner and returned to thciv homes well pleased with the pleas ures of the day. The Democratic County Conven tion on Monday was a decidedly quiet affair. During the forenoon oftbatday there was no appear ance on the streets of anything un usual going on, as is generally evi denced by the crowd gathering on convention days. The convention was called to order by county chairman A* a S. Jvoeler, at 2 o'clock and at once proceeded to business. W. E. Little, Esq., was chosen chairman, Alvin Day and Frank Herman, secretaries, and J. Wood i'iatt, Esq., reading clerk. The roll of delegates showed all the districts represented except Overtield. On the call for nomination for Congress man there was no candidate placed in the Held, therefore C. A. Little, Esq., and ox-sheriff, C. S. Knapp were elected conferees to represent this county In the district confer ence. Hon. John A. Sittser was i nominated for the ollice of l'resi-' dent Judge, and lion. F. 11. Piatt for Representative, both by accla- 1 mation. When the nominations for Jury Commissioner were opened: there was a great "scrabble" to see ! who would "get there" first, as all apparently, realized that this was the only ollice upon which the Democratic party could feel any as surance of coming their way this year. There were six nominations —Horace Eussct, M. L. McMilieu, E-C- Decker, Solomon Walter, T. It, Stark, and Ucorge Nye. Upon the sixth ballot Mr. Fttaael received the nomination. J. (I, Fat sot and Tliuiun Hi ark wets elected delegates to the next State Convention. A resolution was pasted providing thai a vacancy on the ticket, the County j Com ml tie* would till the same. The resolution* came ill at last auci they touched the question of national af j fairs very tenderly, and with very fnw word*. There were very few in lilts Court room outside of llitt dele gates, and many u! the »peci«toi * were He publicans, —Tuukhauiuick A'l/oiA/ksi/I Mm Jacob M i* ot hi lutown ami mother of iaudlord W n of Ilia 1.1 iHiite lloul and two sutera, Mrs. n>giar uf l'billipabuig and Misa Nmv May uf kyUituwu, am u>it ' lUg H'> *nd Mi».
