Sheriff Mahaffey was doing busi ness in Forksville, Tuesday. Hon, B. W. Jennings spent Sun day with bis family in Lopez. Judge Dunham is holding license court in Tunkhannock, this weak. Join the progressive party and vote the Republican ticket next fall. There is neither sleighing nor wheeling, hence business is dull and news scarce. David Brown of Tliornedalc, was transacting business in Laporte, one day las! week. Dr. Waddell of Dushore, was can ed to Laporte by telephone to visit the sick, Friday, A county oQicial and a county official's deputy, are two separate and distinct things. Jos. C, Pennington ol near Nord mont, was transacting business in Laporte, Tuesday. Judge Dunham has moved his library to the Judges' room in the courthouse building. Monday, the Ist day of April, was a. genuine April day. It rained and the sun shone at intervals. i Now is the proper time to tell your neighbor that you intend to vote the Republican ticket next fall. '■ Airs. Magargle, proprietress of the 1 Magargle Hotel at Sonestown, was 1 making garden last week. There was a large congregation present at the Baptis services held in the Presbyterian church, Sunday. Miss Mabel Spencer of Laporte, I left for Williamsport, Monday, where I she will complete the art of millinery. Mr. John Paulhamus, who resided in Williamsport during the winter imonths, has moved on his farm at Cogan Station. Bismarck the great German Prince, was 80 years old on Mondaj-, April Ist. The event was a notable one in Germany and other countries. Chas. F. Warwick, who was elect ed Mayor of Philadelphia, at the recent election, assumed control of the metropolis of the state, Monday. Mr. Will Rogers of Forksville, spent Sunday with friends in La porte. Will enjoys a host of friends here, who are always glad to see him. Pennsylvania aveune at Eagles Mere, is impassable. This main thoroughfare at the famous summer resort, is covered with snow from four to six feet deep. Frank Lusch of Dushore, was in town Monday looking after his polit ical fences. We understand that Frank contemplates being a candi date for Prothonotary next fall. Frank Lewis the Dushore painter, is engaged in doing several wagons for J. W. Ballard of this place. Frank is said to be one of the very best wagon designers in the county. Atty. A. J. Bradley has changed his place of abode so far as his office is concerned. He now occupies the office recently occupied by the Pro thonotary, in the county office build ing. Judge Dunham presided over the Lycoming county court on Wednes day of last week. He granted a charter of incorporation to the Ly coming County Centennial Associa tion. Mr. Ernest Gasparini, an old resi» dent and employe of the Laporte tannerj*, with his family, moved to Providence R. 1., Wednesday. Mr. G. is of Italy birth, but varies very much from the majority of his peo ple who visit the United States. He is a good American and neighbor. The sociality in Liporte, is not what it used to be. Once, Laporte was looked upon as being a model town so far as sociability is concern ed. Of late it has changed and the word and act is hardly known in our inidst. It iB needless to say that this is wrong and that agreeableness should be preferred by each one of Mrs. Knipe, wife of couductor H. : A. Knipe, spent Sunday with her husband at Sutterfleld. Fisher Welles of Wyalusing, has assumed control of the Welles Ac * Co. mercantile business at Dushore. The winter term of the Money Valley graded school, Michael Sweeney teacher, closed on Monday of last week. The Y. W. C. T. U. will meet nt the home of Miss Fannie Meylert, Friday evening, April slh.

Grim, and Mr. Morgan Gavitt, were busy the early part of this week, solving the finan cial standing of the borough. Secretary of the Treasury, John G. Carlisle, violated the quarantine law last week by taking his son from the steamer Paris before the quaran tine officer had examined the vessel. Mr. B. U. Welch of llughesville, was doing business in Laporte, Wednesday. We understand that Mr. Welch has accepted the position of Assistant Superintendent of freight of the Lehigh Valley 11. R. Co. This Judicial contest case with the pauper Democratic times wc are hav ing, will place Sullivan county in the Republican column in the future. You can't fool the people all of the time. The Baptist congregation of La porte, assisted by outside friends, have purchased a new organ for their church. They purchased it of a Towanda firm, and it is said to be a good one. The most contagious disease is spring fever. The spring sunlight containing germs of this dreadful complaint, has come this way and has captured about half of the town. None are dangerous, however. Geo. W. Simmons is the owner of one of the prettiest homes in Sones town, and he with his family enjoys it, too. Wo wish all of our old soldier boys were as comfortably situated as our old friend George is. The Win. Meylert property in La porte, was sold at sheriff's sale on Saturday. Both the store property and homestead were purchased by- Miss Ann F. Meylert; considera tion—store property, §751; home stead. $350. We give council proceedings else where. They are interesting and will be read by all of our home readers. It is useless for us to say that our prediction of the position of "Broad View" in council, has been sustained. The REPUBLICAN is official. All of the county office holders will be Republicans after next fall. Come over and join us. The Re publicans will take good care of you. No bosses in the Republican ranks. Think of the hard times we arc hav ing and the good times we were promised by the advocates of De mocracy previous to the '92 election. We would not remain longer with a party that brought the price of wool down to 17 cents a pound. Come. Heretofore the meeting of the Sullivan County Democratic Stand ing Committee, was considered a big day in our midst. The meeting of this committee on Monday was a complete failure, so far as a large gathering was concerned. We doubt if there were more than six people present from a distance. A few of the Democratic bosses about town were there and gave the audi ence a few pointers. Sullivan county only gave 55 Democratic majority at the recent fall election and at the February election 1891 those figures were re duced to 40 majority. This is evi dent that the old farmers are dis gusted with democracy and are join ing the party that has an interest in their welfare. The old soldiers too, are flocking to their friends. Sulli van county will go Republican next fall, and our majority will be any where from 100 to 300 votes. Mr. Will Colt, who served as manager of Trexell k Terrell's store at Lopez and Uicketts lor several, years, resigned said position last week, and has invested in a business of his own in Pittston, wholesal ing and retailing flour and feed. Mr. Thos, E. Kunnedy of Laporte has accepted Mr. Colt's former position and with his experience in the mercantile business, will do the work assigned him with nectness and dispatch.

Jennings, of Pittsburg, and others and the Ohio 011 Company, a Standard affiliation, by which the Ohio Oil Company be comes the owner of the Kanawha Oil Company, one of the largest pro ducing corporations of Sisterville, W.

Au Twiu, BROOKLYN, March 23—Thomas Nevins, a merchant of this city, died at the Seney Hospital to-day from an operation for the purpose of re moving a human mole. Two months ago the man, who was an athlete, was taken ill. lie complained to his friends of having sharp pains in the sides and back. An operation disclosed the presence in his side of a male child eight incit es in length and perfectly formed. It was solidly imbedded in the tiss ues. Such cases are uncommon. The child, as in this case, is an encysted twin, which remained in his brother's side from birth. The Judge WHS luriigiianl. HAUBTSBUIIG, March 23.—Judge McPherson was indignant to-day over a verdict of not guilty rendered by a jury to-day in the c.\so of the Williamsport Lumbermen's Ex change against Frederick Fngle, of Royaltown, for cutting up and using for fire wood, saw logs that had float ed out of the boom at Williamsport and lodged on Eagle's land. The evidence against Engle. it is claimed, was direct, even to the identification of' marks on the wood he had stored up for use. There were no witnesses for the defence and the defendant did not even go on the stand. Judge McPherson turned to the jury after the verdict was announced and asked: ''Do wo understand that you have brought in a verdict of not guilty and direct the prosecution to pay the costs?" The twelve men, good and true, nodded their heads Iu assent. "Well, we hope you can satisfy your consciences with regard to it," the Court cont'mued, "for there has been no verdict this week that has so flatly disregarded the evidence." The Democratic County Commit tee will meet at the courthouse next Monday for the purpose of electing a chairman, etc. The Tunkhannock correspondent of the Scranton Hep. is authority for the statement that Mr. Keeler, the present chairman, feels that there is "not that unity in the ranks that tends to foster party supremacy iu the future." Mr. Keeler can rest assured that the unity in the Democratic ranks in this county will compare favorably with the unity existing in the ranks of the Democratic party in every county in the Union to-day, and we cannot see how they can change matters in any way at present.—Tunkhannock Rep. Utalrict Court (HHCN. SCRANTON.

He is consid* ered demented and has a delusion that he has a bill that he wants Con gress to pass and imagines certain prominent citizens of Towanda are opposing his efTor's. The evidence was overwhelming and ho was con victed, but Judge Butllngton suspen ded sentence during good behavior. Joseph Conrad of Sunbury, was convicted of obtaining a pension by impersonating another man. Like the former defendant he is an old man bent with years. Card ol 'l'hwiiltM. The members of the Baptist church at Laportc, desire to return thanks to all who have contributed towards the organ, purchased for this denom ination, and placed in the Presby terian church last week. * Mr. A. T. Armstrong ol Sonestowu who recently purchased the John Hazcn grist mill at said place, has put it in excellent repair nt an ex pense of several thousand dollars. The mill is not overly large, but Al. will make up for this deficiency by erecting a largo storage building. Ho also contemplates running a switch from the main line of the W. & N. B. to his mill, the distance only being about 250 feet. Mr. Armstrong is urging the railroad officials to make this change. The grinding capacity of the mill is about seven hundred bushels daily. Flour and feed ground in this mill find a ready sale.
