The County Commissioners award
ed the contract of grading the court
house yard to Stewart Chase of La
porte and George Ferrnan of Straw
bridge, on Thursday of last week.
The contract price is 29 J cents a
yard. Just how much of the yard
the Commissioners intend to grade,
we are not prepared to say. Have
understood though, that they will
extend the slope about fifty feet on
either side of the courthouse build»
ing. It is to be hoped, however,
tbat this rumor is not correct and
that the Commissioners will extend
the grade to tbe fence on the North,
West and East side. The county
ofllce building would interfere with
a change on the South side.
Will Be Much I'riied.
WASHINGTON, June 2 —There is a
cherished bundle of hickory sticks
at the State Department, every one
cut by Secretary Grcsham with his
own hands, and designed by him as
mementoes for presentation to
friends. All of them were obtained
from the abundant timber in the
grounds of the President's country
place at Wood ley.
One of these Bticks the late Secre>
tary gave to Postmaster General
Bissell,just before his retirement,
and another to Private Secretary
Thurher, and a third to Edward S.
Renick, the Chief Clerk of the State
Department.
In each case the Secretary with
perhaps some premonitation of what
was impending, said to the recipient
"I want you to keep and use this
stick in remembranoe of me."
The bundle which still remains at
the State Department will be polish
ed and mounted and presented to
some of Mr. Gret>ham's closest
friends.
It was Mr. Greshara's intention to
have tbem prepared, but he delayed
doing so because, as he told one of
his triends, that "the man who fixed
them for me won't take any money
for it, and I don't want to gtve him
all this work without seeing some
way of reciprocating."
The sticks are naturally very high
ly prized, particularly as most of
them were cut in tbe short interval
between Mr. Gresham'b first attack
and his last illness.
■llliM>r>lhialiaai Content,
From the Scr.niton Tribune.
Judge R. W. Arohbald and Court
Stenographer H. 11. Coston return-.
«»}! Friday from Laporte, Sullivan
cour.ty, where the judicial commis
sion had been .during the week tak
ing testimony in the Sittsar-Dunham
contest. The testimonj of the con
testants in Sullivan county was fin
ished on Thursday.
Judges Uice, Archbaldand Searles
were appointed to hear evidence in
the case, but their commission pro
vides that they must sit in Sullivan
county. The judicial district con
sists of Sullivan and Wyoming
counties, and in order that the wit
nesses from Wyoming will not be
forced to travel over to Laporte, the
Judges have appointed Mr. Coston
commissioner to take testimony in
Tunkhannock on June 17. The
commission could not sit and take
testimony in Tunkhannock for the
reason before given, but the judges
will go there and look on so that
they can observe the character of
the witnesses, but they will be there
not in an official capacity.
Mr. Coston will take the contes
tants' testimony on June 17 and 18,
and that of the respondent on June
19 and 20. On June 21 the com"
mission will sit at Laporte and hear
the testimony of the respondent In
Sullivan county.
Au interim of perhaps a week or
more will then elapse and a time will
be fixed when the judges will count
tilt ballots that were cast for each of
the Judicial candidates at the last
election. Judge Dunham, the re
spondent, is now sitting oa the bench
having received his commission- He
had a majority of tweuty-nine votes
over ex-Judge Sittser.
The Tunkhaunock New Age re
marked last week that it is said in
that vicinity that at least 260 Dun
ham votes would he thrown out as a
result of the contest, in Sullivan
county. This saying is all bosh.
The attornies for the respondent do
not apprehend that there will be any
such result in Sullivan county and
we are quite sure that they are in a
position to know equally as much
about the outcome of the case, as are
the attornies for the contestant. In
our opinion it is all foolishness for
anyone, we care not whom he repre
sents, 10 say how many votes will
l>e thrown out. llow can HE ooine
to a conclusion as to the opinion of
the judges regarding a defective
affidavit ?
The Dunham side of the case is
yet to be heard in Sullivan county
and it is presumed that there will be
a few Sittser votes thrown out in
consequence. The attornies for the
respondent say that Dunham will
come out ahead in Sullivan county
when the end is reached.
As to Wyoming county we hear
that the entire vote in two townships
will be thrown out, because the elec
tions were held in buildings other
than were ordered by the court;
similar to Colley township in Sulli
van county. One of these precincts
gave Dunham 11 majority and the
other gave Sittser 41 majority.
Judge Sittser also won in Colley
twp, by a majority of 11, hence,
Judge Dunham will gain 41 votes
as a result of this one teohnioality of
the law.
We arc also informed that there
will be a large number of Sittser votes
thrown out for one cause in Wyom
ing county. We deem it advisable
bosvever, to withhold the eause at
this time- The informant to the
attornics for the respondent, is posi
tively reliable and there cannot be a
simile of doubt but that his wordß
will prove true.
There is no fiction in this article,
we have given facts as have been
stated to us and we have every reason
to believe that it is truo.

I)r. B. E. Gamble and Miss Blanche

Prothonotary Walsh issued a mar

man and is enjoying a large practice
in Forksville and vicinity. Miss
Blanch is a daughter of A. A. Col
lius, and is one of the fair and society
ladies of Forksville. The REPUBLI
CAN extends congratulations.
The sidewalks around the court
bouse square should be rebuilt. A
good part of them are dangerous to
walk upon. It is the duty of the
Town Council to notify the County
Commissioners of the neglected
pavements and order said officials
to make them good. An appeal of
this kind might save for the Boro.
a bill of damages. The Commis
sioners, or rather the county would
then be the defendant, in case a Buit
is brought for damages.
la Hmr •! ike ItoMicr Dead.
Th« custom of honoring tbe dead
heroes of ft nation is not original
with this country, but it is in a
general measure a renewal of a beau
tiful custom established by the ancis
ent Greek. It was revived in this
country shortly after the close of the
Civil War, and in 1868 Commander
in-Chief, John A. Logan, issued his
first order to the Qrand Army of the
Republic in the fines-literary effusion
that ever eminated in the order. It
was promulgated on May 6, 1863,
and tho comrades every where have
ever since profited by his words:
"Let us, then, at the time appoint
ed," said the order, referring to the
dead soldiers, "gather around their
sacred remains and garland the pas
sionless mounds above them with
tho choicest flowers of spring; let us
raise above them the dear old flag
they saived from dishonor, and let
us in this solemn presence renew
our pledges to aid and assist those
whom they have left among us, a
sacred charge upon a nation's grati -
tude—the soldier's widow and or
phan.
"If other eyas grow dull and other
hands slack and other hearts cold,
ours shall keep it warm as long as
the light and warmth of life remains
to us."
Promptly at 9 a. m., May 30th,
the members of the S. S. Simmons
Tost assisted by Sunday school
organizations and citizens proceeded
to decorate the graves of their old
comrades buried in the Scnestown
cemetery. The Sonestown drum
corps furnished music for the
occasion. M. W. Stevens Esq ol
Williamsport delivered the address;
a copy of which was given for publi
cation, but owing to its length, we
were unable to give it space. The
address was very good. Mr. Stev
ens is a Sullivan county boy and
was reared in Davidson twp. The
Sonestown choir was present and
sustained their long won reputation
as songsters. For a small village
Sonestown has a right to boast of
much musical talent.
At 2p. m.the Post and a largo
delegation oi citizens arrived at La
porte. Line of march was formed
at the courthouse, from which the
delegation proceeded to the Moun
tain Ash cemetery where the usual
ceremonies of the G. A. R. boys
were gone through with, after which
the graves of the dead soldiers were
strewed with flowers.
With this over the Post and
friends marched to the courthouse
where an able address was delivered
by A. J. Bradley Esq., which was
given marked attention. The sing
ing by the choir was very good.
The business places and a few
private dwellings were nicely deco
rated with flags and bunting. Land
lord McKibbins of the Commercial
Hotel gave this order of the day
especial attention and was compli
mented by all for the neat and
artistic display of red, white and
blue thrown to the breeze at his
place of business.
To Wed His Wile Again.
ST JOSIPH, Mo., June 2. —George
Davenport, of this city, will be mar
ried to his wife a second time at
Columbia in a few days. It is
another Enoch Arden story. When
Davenporb went into the army he
lived on a small farm, ten miles
south of Columbia. He was wound
ed at Shiloh and left on the field to
die, but recovered after an illness of
more than a year. Several years
after hia wife was married to John
Smallwood, a friend of her youth,
and lived with him until he died.
Davenport wandered to California,
where he lived nearly thirty years,
and finally drifted into the Soldiers'
tlome at Leavenworth. After leav
ing the home he came to this city.
A few weeks ago he read some
thing in a newspaper which convinc
ed him that his son was alive. He
went to Columbia and found that
hts wife, too, was alive. It was some
time before he could convince her
of his identity. They have decided
to remarry at once.
