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

large number of witnesses here, at
this writing, to testify in this case.
The county seat removal bill, will

ple think the bill uncinstitutional.
The State Camp of the Patriotic
Order Sons of America will meet in

tinue in session a few days. The
camps from all over the State are
making preparations to attend. 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.
MADRID, May 27.—The bicycle
champions, Campos and I<acasa,
were terribly injured by a collision
during a race yesterday and one of
them will die. They were riding'
together in a tendem race, which
they were just about winning, when
(heir opponents crossed their path.
The two machines came together
with a crash, and the riders were
thrown to the ground in a heap.
Lacisa was frightfully lacerated in
the cliest, and is dying. Campos
had both arms broken. Our fast
riders, especially Judge Dunham and
Atty. Ingham will please take warn

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.

We know that the people of Sulli

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.

'•Dead" SHJ* Hewitt.
Abraham S. Hewitt of New York
was one of the leading Democrats of
this country. 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. As I told
somebody the other day, it needs a
new birth. v It must be born again."

, 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

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.—

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

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.
