THE REPUBLICAN. W . M. CHENEY, - " " Editor. FRIDAY, JULY 19, I«J'> Mooing of Republican Nta»<tii>ff Committee ol Sullivan County. On motion it was resolved that we hold the County Convention for the nomination of County Offices and a delegate to the State Convention in the Court House at Laporte on S» 1 12;. urday July 20th, 1895, at ONE O'CLOCK V, if. Electric Bill Killed. The most villainous bill that was ever sneaked through the Pennsyl vania Legislature was justly vetoed by the Governor. It is hardly nec essary to explain that it wa9 the Electric Light bill, which was intro duced by Senator Hackenberg an a courtesy to his supposed friends, Senator Cochran, of Williamsport, and ex-Attorney General llensel, of Lancaster. The intent of the bill was not re vealed to the Senator of this district who was kind enough to introduce it, and the apparent friendship be tween him and his Democratic col league was supposed by him to be sufficient security against being used other than in good faith. How the bill got through both Houses is a mystery that no one seems to understand, but when its full meaning and purpose became k'uown it was universally condemned and many good members and Sena tors arc gratified to know that it has been dealt a death-blow by the Gov ernor. The fact is, the infamous measure was planned in the city of Williamsport in the interest of a corporation with monopolistic aspi rations and which is a combination of the Lycoming Electric Light Co., and all the electric railway com* parties and against a small block company known as the Citizens' Electric Company, which has been in successlul operation lor a short time and run without a charter ol incorporation. This new company started on a small scale on the block system, and their patrons comprise nearly all the business houses in the block in which the Updegraff Hotel and the Gazette and Bulletin ofliee are situ ated. The ofliee of the Citizen's company is located in the next block north of the one in which their plant is and they run a wire across Third street to connect with the ofliee. This proceeding did not suit the combine and they immediately open ed war on the small concern. They tried through the city council to have the wire removed and as they are not a corporation it seeins that the council to have the wire removed and as they are not a corporation it seems that the council could not grant a franchise of the streets for running wires across them and no tified them to take it down. By some grace or other, however, the wire is atill up and the parties who own the plant are about procuring a charter for the company when they expect to be entitled to fair consid* eration from council and intend en - larging the plant as soon as arrange ments can be procured. In order to reduce to insignifi cance the new company and defeat their plans Mr. Cochran and others who are interested in the big coin pany had a blanket bill prepared which would allow no new company to have the right of way on any street or alley that was occupied bv another company. Wot even would the city or borough itself be allow ed to erect a plant for its own use according to the bill. When the purpose of the bill became known Remonstrances began to pour in against it from every section of the State. The press was almost unani mous in condemning the iniquitous conspiracy and the Governor has maintained the good will of a vast number of people, including many Democrats, by his prompt action in wiping it out. The bill was BO grossly outrageous that Mr. Cochran would not risk introducing it but in duced a Republican Senator to do so, that in the event of it being ex posed it might be charged as coming from the Republican side of the Sen ate. However, Mr. Hackenberg promptly laid the facts bare and the public is now familiar with them. Hereafter friendly Senators will be charry of doing courteous favors for Senator Cochran, and the whole Senate will scrutinize any measure that that gentleman in the future may propose.—Sunbury American. July 12. Only four survivors of the battle of Waterloo are now to be found in Europe. The vast armies of Napo leon, Wellington and Blucher are gone, and it is not on record that in their declining years they ever came in contact with an official like Hoke Smith. Scythes, rakes, forks, mowing machine oil etc., at Bodine & Waro Sonestown. Editor liutter, of the Hughesville Mail , was the victim of some pick pocket while at Williamsport, on the evening of the Fourth. His pocket book, containing all hia money, his railway passes and some valuable papers was taken while riding 011 a street car, Every farmer nnd lot owner is liable to a fliie of sls for permitting fauadu thistles to grow on his prem ises, And it is the duty of Stree t Commissioners a .'id Supervisors throughout the State, to cut and des troy the sniue where \hej may be found growing alo.- the pu bi ic high ways.

There is no "boodle seekers" in llillsgrove twp., this fall. Contest medicine is sure cure. The wheelmen of our town are happy now, and are taking advan tage of tue good roads and weather. The picnic held here on the Fourth given.by the Hillsgrove band, was a grand success. Everybody had a good time, and got gloriously full—- of ice cream and dinner. Lewis Gumble of Laporte, spent the week of the Fourth with friends here, as the guest of Miss , no, H. A. Green. July 4tb at 10:30 p. m. fire was discovered in the tanner}- bark mill; but was extinguished before any damage was done. It was caused by a hot box while running through the day. It it had not been for the boys it would soon have done great dam age to the company's plant. That is the way they (the boys) pay for the 15 per cent, reduction in their "Return good for evil." The voting "boodlers" of our town was called to Laporte at the last session of the judicial contest, to account for what thej- done with their boodle and that bottle of— hand me down.
