Mr. Lawrence is one of the most prominent and best known business men of tba county, and bis character and business ability are •uch that assures the people that he would make the strongest kind of a candidate, and a first class officer. Another bond sale is probable on : account of the continued deficits, and the continued deficits are duc ( as : everybody knows, to Democratic tinkering with the tariff. » Mrs. John I'ardoe of Forksville, . who has been ill for some time past, died of dropsey on May 11.

Editor Streby, of Dushore, was in town Monday. George is looking hale and hearty and has every ap pearance of a man who is coining money. For a money making busi ness there is none no profitable as the business of a country editor. Rumor says that the Democratic aspirants to the office of Sheriff of Sullivan countj', are just coming to light and that at least a half dozen good and true Democrats will an nounce themselves as full fledged candidates indue time. The Wyalusing Rocket is informed that work on the proposed railroad from Binghamton to Williamsport which is to pass through that village is soon to be commenced again, end that the project is being backed by the Delaware and Hudson and the D. li. & W. roads. New York has added a flock of sheep to Central Park, and keeps a shepherd, dressed in blue and silver to look after them.

Mr. Edgar was here to testify for the petitioners requesting the village of Sonestown to be incorporated in to a borough.

It promises to be the largest gathering of its kind ever held by the order, which is in a flourishing condition. It gives the Democrats a pain to think of the proposed Republican ticket, this fall. They think the proposed candidates too good togo on the Republican ticket. Well, it is characteristic of the Republicans to nominate good men, and wc are pleased to know that our Democratic friends concede the good qualifica tions of the two gentlemen spoken of as candidates on our ticket. We shall use their commendable words in the campaign. Bicyclist* Fatally Hurt.

Our fast riders, especially Judge Dunham and Atty. Ingham will please take warn ing. Lycoming Oouoljr Oatcnnlsl ( Interest in the coming Centennial celebration of Lycoming county at Williamsport on July 2d, 3d and 4th is spreading all over tbc country that once formed a part of the orig inal county. Every one should lay aside the care of business and pay a visit to tho beautiful city of William sport during the first week of July and Join the patriotic throng that will congregate there, 'ihe various committee are making every effort to entertain all who may come. The antiquairan display will be a feature long to be remembered. Within the walls of the exposition building will be gathered thousands of rare and curious articles from this and foreign lands. Lovers of the antique will find a mint of things that will interest them; ancient fur niture, glass, china, wearing appearel guns, watches, jewlery, rare and valuable works of art, relics of the revolution etc. The exhibition will be one that will be of interest to all classes and from all lands; the soldier will find many relics of the late war; the student will find many rare and curious books; the lawyer can look up on documents of great antiquity and quaint wordings; the farmer upon the crude implements of husbandry use in the early days; to those from foreign lands, but who now make their home among us, there will be many treasures from the Fatherland —German, Irish, English, Scotch, Sweeden, ete. All of the railroads leading to Williamsport will give the people re duced rates of fare and make all ar rangements for safe and quick trans portation to and from the city. All who can should avail themselves of this splendid opportunity to show their patriotism by joining in cele brating Lycoming's centennial.

Jacob i'er's llughesville l'a. We know that the people of Sulli van count}- are well satisfied with the record of our Representative in the Legislature, HOD. B. W. Jennings. He is a faithful member, and can always be found at his post. His vote is uniformly recorded on the right side. No member from this county for years has taken the pains to find out tljc wishes of his constituents that he has, and no member has ever, when he has ascer tained the will of the people, been more willing to carry it out. We do not recall an instance, on any important question of legislation, in which his vote will not be heartily indorsed by a great majority of our people. We know of no better man in the county to succeed him in the next Legislature than Hon. 13. W. Jennings, himself. T- J.

He was formerly Mayor of New York city and upon different occasions his name has been canvassed as a possible candi date for president. He is now in London where he was recently inter viewed by a reporter. The follow ing dialogue took place: "Do you regard the political situ ation as favorable to the Democrats?" Hewitt replied :'I do not. It is my opinion that the democratic party is dead and has no show what ever before the country.

A big lot of |3.00 suits to IK- closed out at 75c at Jacob Per's, Hughesville, Pa. , EMaped Convict. Rert Jones, the convict who was placed in our new county Jail in February last, charged with forgery, escaped from our new castle for correction on Saturday last. His freedom was gained like this: The prisoners, lour in number, are only confined in steel cages at night time, and during the day the cages are Thrown open and they are allowed to go about and enjoy themselves in both the female and male wards. On Saturday by request Mrs. Sheriff Mahaffey gave .Tones some news papers and thoughtlessly left the dinner door unfastened through which she hail handed the papers and passed into the frout room of her department. Jones took advan tage of the open door, which is, per haps 20 by 24 inches in size and made good his escape. He passed thi'ough the kitchen of the Sheriff's department and out the east door and over the hill back of the ceme tery. The remaining three prisoners gave the alarm but before the Sheriff had been acquainted with the ''slip,' Jones bad hid himself in the forest east of town. A number of men went in search of him, but at this writing he is still enjoying his freedom. Jones is the man who forged the names of B. Meeker of Dushorc and Clint Lawrence also of Dushore on checks and successfully negotiated both papers. The check of sl7 forged on Lawrence he passed on Meeker for a silver watch the price of which was sll, the balance s('> was given Jones in cold cash. The other check forged on Meeker was given Lawrence to off set a board bill. Following is a description of the escaped convict. Owing to his un usual heighlh he is thought to be an easy sucker to Height—6 feet, 7 inchep, dark hair aud complexion, slim built, age about 28 years, bad on dark coat and vest, blue overalls, slouch hat and gum boots. The judicial contest court adjourn ed oil Thursday of last weeli and will convene in Tunkhannock on Mon day, June 17th, when the court will hear the Wyoming story for the contestants. If it don't show up more favorable for the Sittserites than Sullivan has, we would suggest that brother Day call a halt of the proceedings. On Tuesday Juno 2i>, the Judges will sii in Laporto ami j take up Judge Dunham's side of the i ease, when it is believed that a whole lot of Sillser votes will go down to the bottom of the sea, and a number of boodlcrs will meet their fate. The alleged Republican bood lers of Sullivan count}' were on the witness stand Wednesday ot' last week and proved their skirts as white as a January snow; not a single iota of evidence relative to illegally paying out money, was proved against them. W r e sincerely hope that the boodlcrs on the other side can equally sustain their movements in this direction, when they are call ed upon the stand. We arc given to understand that the boodlers both in Sullivan and Wyoming on the Sittser side, will be given a thorough examination and the ques tions will be equally as piercing as were those asked by Mr. Piatt on Wednesday. It is believed that we have the evidence to prove the charge. In this respect the Sittser ites were, as Judge liice remarked, on a fishing expedition. Thus far tho Sittserites Lave ac complished nothing and it is folly and nonsenoe to say otherwise. It is a rank shame that the people of Sullivan and Wyoming counties arc Galled upon to pay the exorbitant bills that will follow. From the general opinion of people in thi# vicinity, it is believed that Judge Dunham will continue to preside as our Judge and that his majority will, owing to the contest, be increased a hundred or more votes. The Tunkhannock Republican will not publish tbc list of names of per sons charged by the contestants with having used boodle to encompass the defeat of Judge Sittser. It can profit from the illreoeived publica tion of the list of persons charged in the Dunham bill of particulars. There has been no proposition upon the part of the Dunlin mites to be gin prosecutions on a doaen or more cases, when they hare in their hands the proof positive which will con~ vict. They are trying to avoid this uourae of prooeedur*. The contest opening over here on June 17 prom ises to abßorb the whole publiomiod and the revelations to be made will be many and of a startling character. Hut, as remarked once before, the glov* was thrown down and it is to be a battle royal to the end, with the chips falling where they may.— Tunkhannock correspondent to Scrantoa Ji<p. To ©a* Democratic Fri^ndi. If the Detnocratß of Sullivtu 1 coun ty who voted for Kulp lost Tall will join hands with the Republicans, Sullivan county could be mt.de Re publican at this fall's election. It is worth while for thinking, intelligent men who do not approve oii Demo* cratic tariff notions to take -an active stand with the Republican party in this county. They would be gladly welcomed, given high seats, in the synagogue and treated with the best fatted veal in the m&rket. It would only be a short time when the county would be in the hands of the New Republican party. A great many Democrats who voted the ticket arc at heart, very tired of the present Democratic management and in the accession of the would-be leaders, they sec no relief. Why not then forsake the sinking ship and come to one where there are no rings and no leadership, except aB the hour demands. Where all the town ships have a fair chance to be heard and a man can get on the ticket, if suitable, without reference to the locality in which he resides ? Now is a good time to come to the Republican party. The past is dead and all the old time issues are buried. The great question of to* day is, how taxes on imports shall be levied, to give protection or mere ly to obtain revenue. The Republi can party stands fair and square for Protection. If you believe in Pro tection for all, and are a Democrat, why do you not leave the party which openly says it is for Free Trade? What other pills will you have to swallow if you become a Republican 1 Well jou ought to believe in the support and a nee of our Public School System as a non-sectarian institute. Also you ought to believe that the Ameri can Aug flics for a big nation and shall be honored abroad and at home. That is about all. Very likely many Democrats will say, I have believed in these from my youth up. If so, you will have less far to come and in truth the tariff to-day is about the only point of contention and if a voter believes in a Protective tariff lie ought to be a Republican. If any of our Democratic readers feels as if there was truth in this article let him doclave himself openly and frankly with his Republican neigh bors. If a question of office getting stands in your light, be not afraid Wo need now recruits and some of you will be captains and we shall be winners in snug and happy little Sullivan, Ladies, have yon seen the new dreup (roods at T.J. heeler's, lie can astonish vou, both iu quality aud price- At Philadelphia on Sunday Arch bishop Ryan delivered a memorial seimou to one of the many Grand Army Posts of that city. The only feature unusual in connection with this service was the fact that it was the first time on record that a non sectarian organization attended divine worship in a Roman Catholic chinch, the memorial sermons hav ing been preached by Protestant ministers. Archbishop Ryan is one of the most gifted men in this coun try, and at an orator he has few equals in the pulpit. His patriotism and that of his congregation was proven by the manner in which they received their soldier guests, the great cathedral being made resplend ent with the stars and stripes. The ohange will undoubtedly have a good effect. Jacob Per of Hugbesville, Pa. is closing out till lines of goods at 65 cents on the $.
