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 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.

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.
