Larkin of Laporte, who has been visiting friends in Curtis, N. Y. and doing considerable traveling | over the country, returned last week and has accepted the position of" engineer in the Laporte tannery. Martin's old friends were glad to see him. We read with feelings of horror of the loss of life by the forest tires in Minnesota, where hundreds of per sons have been sacrificed to thefuiy of the flames. Yet there does not seem to beany method of preventing these disasters. In opening up a now country the beginning "of the towns must be located in the forests just as Hinckley was built, mid when the woods were set on fire the pro bable result can be easily foi cseen.

The undersigned of Forksville planted ou the 7th of June 18'Jl,less than half an acre of ground in corn.

IStli is overseeing I he work and is having it done first class in every respect. The bar has been changed to the front of the house caving a sample room where the old bar stood. The upstairs part has been made new. The walls have been papered and the wood work painted.

Chris. Uubright of Williarnsport, who contracted with Lawrence Bros, to place the brick for our new court house, completed his engagement' on Friday mid competent judges say he has done an excellent job, one that he need not be ashamed ot and one that the Sullivan county tax payers may justly feel proud of. Mr. Rubright made many new friends during his stay iu Laporte. The exterior of our courthouse is now complete and the lathers, piasters and carpenters are engaged on the inside. The contract calls for the building lu be i!ni.->!icd by the Ist ol' April '95. Judging from the pro gress of the work, however, there is but little doubt, but that the siiiic tuie will lu; completed by February term of court. If we elect Kulp to Congr we cau depend upon it, he will do all possible let the beat interest of the farmer. He is a farmer aud a lumberman and is always ready to do for the working people, lie is'nt a lawyer. No, we heard this ques tion asked liiru on Friday. He re plied in the negative and said that he had understood that the people of the district were anxious for a plain spoken man to represent them in Congress and one that took kind ly to the working class and would do for their interest and that he felt that inasmuch as he had been in the corn field himself that he could fill the hill. Mr. Kulp will visit Sulli van county about the Ist of October and will call on all of our farmers and the busi'iess enterprises of our county. He will spend several days with the boys in Bernice. He is an old favorite with the mine boys in the Shamokin Valley and we are quite sure that, when he has lelt our boys that they will have none, but kind words to speak of him. The farmer and lumberman, likewise. The Republican Conk-roes of the Twenty-fourth Senatorial district mot in Williamspoit on Friday last to place in nomination a candidate for State Senator, There was a full representation of conferees, the lisi being as follows: Lycoming—\V. W. Aehenbachand Theo. Hill. Sullivan—W. C. Mason and J. VV. Rogers. Moatour—S. A. McCoy and J as. | Foster. Columbia—E. E, Lowe and R. G. Crispen. The following candidates were named: F. 11. Ingham, of Sullivan; C. E. Geyer, of Columbia; W. E. Sprague of Lycoming and W. M. Gearbavt, of Montour. Nine ballots were taken when C. E. Geyer of Columbia received the nomination, Our Ciimlifliite lor Senator, From tlie Gazette and Bulletin, Sept. 8. "The nomination of Hon. C. E. Geyer, of Columbia county, for Sen* ator from the Twenty-fourth distript will be accepted by all of the four counties as most wise. Although each county presented an acceptable candidate there was no disposition to blockade or impede, and after the claims of all had been fairly present ed the conferees united upon Mr. (lever as a candidate who would be acceptable to the entire district. Mr. Geyer. the unanimous choice of the conference, is a native of Lancaster county, but for many years has been a resident of (Jatawisa and a leading member of the Columbia county bar. He is a gentleman of splendid attain ments and is a strong candidate. It jis generally believed that he is the : strongest man that could have been selected, and there is no reason to doubt that be can be elected if the other counties do for him what | Columbia has promised to do. Those in Lycoming who know Mr. Geyer are delighted with bin nomi nation, and the assuranoe can be given that Lycoming will do her , lull share of tlie work towards the i election of Oolutubias favorite uou.'' Th<» Itaci's the 4itii■ that the driver of Delavan ran into bis '"gig" and interfered with the speed of his horse, hence the decision. Mr. Davidson ot \\ il liainsport the owner of Delavan was some put out about the decision. Lawyer DcVVitt of Towauda, was one of the Judges. Those of our people who know this gentleman, can hardly credit him with doing wrong. When a horse race is very close, as thii one was, hard feelings by the loser is most apt to follow. We do uot mean to say, however, that Mr. Davidson did not have good prov ocations for saying and doing as he ilid in this instance. Others are of the same opinion. Notwithstanding this, the races were good, exciting and entertain ing. The gathering was large and among the list were nearly all of our candidates. M. 11. Kulp our candi date for Congress was there and met a large number of our Sullivan coun ty voters. IK' was highly spoken of by all, and is a genial good fellow Our Democratic friends had not :l this date elected their candidate for Congress, or 'else wo presume he would have been there. There is but little doubt, however, tnu that our old friend, Hon. C. R. Buckalew will recti vo the conference nomina tion. Hon. K i! D'i .ham ••ur Caudldat-.- for L'le.- dent J j ined ill lit and made himself busy among the voters. He was cordially greeted by his old friends and came away in the best of good humor. Judge Sittser the democratic can didate for I'resident Judge was there too; enjoying a hearty hand shake with old friet'ds. The Judge smiled and looked pleasant. Of course Worth Jennings there publican candidate for Member was among the party. He was happy and laughed three times in a while. It is evident that Worth has a host, of friends in the county. Ain by Farrell the democratic nom inee for Member took in the situa tion and was on the ground and met lots of new friends. Jury (Jommisioners, Kilmer and Swank were not on the ground, at j least we did not see them. Ed. Mullen the democratic nomi nee for List. Atty., lias no opponent and gave his time to the Association selling tickets AC. Ed. is'nt in a peck of trouble like tli ■ other fellows. Quite fortunate, indeed. Mullen is also chairman of the Democratic Standing Committee. Our chairman Mr. Vincent was there too- They are two good headlights. As a whole, our candid ites and chairmen, irrespective ot party, arc! a pretty good looking lot of people, j . ' „ There will lie a slight increase in j the cost of sugar to consumers under j the new tariff bill. Phila. Tants. This is stale news. The Republi can papers gave this to the con-! sumers long before the Wilson tariff j L>i 11 became a law, and still the Dem ocratic House in Washington per sisted in making a law to increase the price ou a household article that the poor as well as the rich must have. The doings of the Democrats who have run things in Washington j this year, is disgusting and we hon estly think that no man with good reasoning can conscientiously vote the Democratic ticket longer. Last week we heard three Democrats »ay that they would never vote the ticket again. Others, and lots of others should and will follow their example, ])e La Green, cashier of the de funct First National Hank of Muncy, was tried in the United States court at Williamsport la*t week for chang ing figures in his report of the standing of the bank and making it appear that the institution was finan cially in better standing than it real ly was. The jury found Mr. Green guilty and recommended him to the mercy of the court. The penalty on each is not less than five nor more than ten years. Mr. Green's counsel I will probably move for a new trial. .John M. Mowman, president of the ; Muncy bank,was also atrested for a j similar crime as that of GreenV, : llowmin's trial took place on Mon | day and he too was found guilty. ; Moth have moved for a new trial. !
