THE REPUBLICAN. W. M. CHENEY, - - -Editor. Fill DA Y, APRIL 5. IMS. Ilarrity .Urn Win. ScitAXTOtf, March 31, —A meet* ing of the Democratic County Com mittee held last evening at the rooms of the Central Democratic Club, de ▼eloped a warm factional fight. Thirty-one out ot the thirty-three members of the committee attended. This meeting was the local feature of the war between Harrity and Kerr and Harrity gained a pronounced victory. The Kerr interests were represent ed by John J. O'Boyle and, of course, ex sherifF Charles llobinson headed the Ilarrity Faction. Hon. John E. Roche was in the chair and offered a resolution indorsing Judge Smith as a candidate for the Democratic nom ination for Judge of the Superior Court. This resolution instructed the delegates that were to be chosen for the next meeting for the next Democratic State Convention to use every honorable means to secure Judge Smith's nomination. The resolution was adopted. Then the llarrity-Kerr fight came on. Mr. O'Boyle had sharpened bis knife for Mr. Ilarrity because the ex»secretary of State was held re sponsible for the appointment of F. M. Vandling as postmaster of this city. Charles Robinson is the pres ent member of the Democratic State Committee and the Harrity force asked that, he succeed himself. The vote was nineteen for Robinson and nine for O'Boyle. Several members of the committee present found themselves in a delicate position and refused to vote owing to the bitter feeling shown. Working Day Tost. A piece of valuable testimony as to the expediency of an eightshour working-day is furnished by an ex» periment which has been going on in a British manufacturing establish ment. In 1889 the workday was 12 hours long. Then the change was made directly to an eight-hour day, and for five years the ell'ect has be.cn carefully observed. The managers find that they get as much work done in the 8 hours as they did in the 12. Greater regularity, increas ed application and improved health are noticed among the men. Drunk enness is much rarer than formerly. "Then men come down to their shifts regularly, and they come sober," says one of the managers. "The improvements in the men's looks, and especially iu their gait when leaving the work at the end of the shift, is very marked." The estab lishment is that of Brunner, Alond & Co., well known throughout Eng land. The experiment is in every respect a reliable one. It is a hun dred times more conclusive than speculation upon what might be the result of an eight-hour day. The Hon. James Kerr, who is now contending with National Chairman Harrity for the control of the Dem ocratic State Committee, has been In New York reporting that there is a crifiis in this State. This must have been suspected for some time by those who have kept up with the daily bulletins and interviews issued by Mr. Kerr on one side and Mr. Harrity on the other, but Mr. Kerr's announcement gives the crisis an official stamp which it could not be fore boast. We presume Mr. Har rity likewise regards it as a crisis, although he has never made any au thoritive statement on the subject. The people of Pennsylvania have always tried to avoid these peace disturbing and dangerous conditions, but wheu a couple of Democrats get into a row as to which shall boss the various fag ends of the part}' still able to be around everything else has to give way. The consoling thing about Mr. Kerr's crisis is it can't last long. The party is about swamped. New Passenger Engines. The Baldwin Locomotive works at Philadelphia are building three hand some new passenger engines for the Lehigh Valley, which will be putin service on the Northern division. One of the engines was turned out last Thursday and traveling engineer McGraw of the Wyoming division, ran it from Bethlehem to Sayre on Friday. There is a bill now before the state legislature which should it become a law prohibits school boards from hiring an}' teacher who is a relative of one of the members of the , board. It is safe to say that a large majority of our best teachers are re- , lated to men who are elected to serve as school director, and it seems to be a large slice of humbuggery if a community is to be prohibited the i service of good teachers because i they happen to be related to a mem ber of the board. i County candidates are beginning to circulate a little earlier than usual showing that the longing for oHIco is on tho increase. The Ladies Aid Society of laporte will meet at the resilience of Mrs. A. J. Hackley, Saturdaj', April fith, '95. Mus. J. H. SPENCER, Sec'y- About all there is left of tho Dem ocratic party is bos«os. The rank and file have fled. It is pleasant to have a consoler cr two, however. Bf>ooo bricks, finest quality, for s«l«. In quireuf Ke.ly's Hardware, HugUesville l'a. The fact that numerous mills and factories have either started or are making arrangements to start up, is uo evidence that the Democratic party have done anything for their benefit. The true solution is that a Republican congress is in sight and a feeling is abroad that a Repub lican president wiil be elected in '96. all of which inspires confidence among our business men. When a railroad company gets short on cash now days, all it has to do is to announce that the sale of mileage books will be discontinued at a certain date. The Erie and otLer roads made a good thing by its recent announcement to that effect. Of course the sale was dis continued but the prediction is freelv made that it will be resumed iu a short time. A mite society was held at the residence of Dr. Ilill on Wednesday evening of last week. Tho evening was pleasantly spent by those pres ent and the mite contribution, for church purposos, was a success. We understand that a like gathering un der the head of "Mite Society," will take place on Wednesday evening of each week. The society naming the place of meeting. A meeting of the Democratic Standing Committee convened in the Court House on Monday. Among those present were: E. J. Mullen, chairman, of Dusliore; C. Cascman, Fox; B. Sliechan, Laporte Twp.; G. T. Deegan, Dusliore; Jacob Meyers, Shrewsbury; and F. W. Gallagher, Laporte boro. It will be noticed by- the very small gathering that there isn't very much enthusiasm in the Sullivan Co. Democracy. Only one third of our precincts were represented. What the committee did in chamber, we know not. C'oiMiuuuieateil. An entertainment consisting ot the two very popular plays, "The Rough Diamond" and"The Happy Pair," will lie held in the public school building, Ilillsgrovc, Pa., on Tuesday evening, April Ofh. All efforts arc being put forth to make the entertainment a giand success. Good music, by orchestra or band, will enliven the plays. Admission, 15c; children, 10c. Proceeds to be added to the school organ and library fund. The Chic.igo Post says, prices of all kinds of meats will be higher this summer than they have been for ten years past. It is not prob able that much relief will come be fore next fall. Prices have already advanced about 25 per cent., and an additional advance in about the same proportion is almost certain. While the prime cause of the advance is the scarcity of choice beef cattle, all kinds of meats have gone up, partly through speculative sentiment and partly on account of the increased demand. Atty. I{. J. Thomson of Dushore, spent several days in Laporte last week. He was here in the interest of the Union Tanning Company and argued before the County Commis sioners that the property belonging to said firm, was assessed too high and requested a rebate. Mr. Thom son was assisted by Win. Hull Esq., superintendent of the Ilillsgrove tannery; James Miller Supt. of the Wuncy Valley tannery; S. A, Good hue Esq., Supt. of the Jamison City tannery; and J. W. Flynn Esq , Supt. of the Laporte tannery. Mr. Thom son was successful to the amount of several thousand dollars. f'lintigc of I'roprilorg.

A TAX OglUoUrAuMlUi. Frank Middendorf, tnx aollector of Cherry township, while attending to tbe duties of his office Monday visited the homo of the Russell fam ily in Beruice. At this visit ho was told by the women folks of the house that their husbands wore not in aud requested him to call the following evening. This he did and was met by three men, viz: Peter Russell, August Russell and James Blair all Scotch descent and miners by trade. On entering the house he was asked by one of the Russells if he was the lax collector who visited their home the day before, and he replied that he was. They said they would not pay any tax and quarrelled for some little time. Middendorf ex plained to them that the tax was for county and township purposes and that he as tax collector was obliged to collect it and that he proposed doing so. This enraged the delin quents and they followed him to the road where all three pounced upon him and gave him a fearful beating. He was struck to the ground, "wo teeth were knocked or kicked on his jaw-bone fractured and both eyes blackened, Mr. Middendorf sworo out a warrant before John Lawrence, J. I'. of Onshore, and the case was heard Wednesday morning. They were bound over to court and failed to furnish the required bail, hence were brought to Laporte by Lawrence Lowry constable of Ber nice, on Wednesday noon aud now repose in the county jail.
