Stormont of New York city, was wired the sad news of his sister's death on Monday morning and arrived in town on Tuesday, ['his was awfully sad to Will because he had only last week received word that Mrs. Mason was improving and strong hopes for her recovery of health was entertained. E. V. Ingham was up from Sha mokin Wednesday. He came to at tend the funeral of Mrs. Mason. Erne9t is suffering from an attack of rheumatism which he claims to have contracted in Harrisburg while in attendance at the Republican State convention. Mr. Ingham is very fortunate to know the character ol liis ailment; there were many diseas es contracted there that no name *ecms to have ever been assigned them. The Republican, in its last issue, speaks of the illegal use of money in last fall's campaign, and urges Democrats not to vote iheir party ticket this fall. Now, let us probe this matter a little. Some of the Republican leaders are authority for the report that the editor of the Republican received SSOO with which to carry the late Republican primary elections in the inter ests of certain pai ties. * * * * If the editor of the Republican wishes to accuse any person or party of using money for illegitimate election purposes, he should first deny the report circulated by'some of his Republican colleagues, if it is not true, or if he used the money for legitimate purposes, let him state for what it was used.—Dushore Gazette. Tliis is tlie first time to our knowl edge that wc have been accused openly of receiving "SSOO with which to carry the late Republican primary elections." 'Tig true the Dushore papers Lave hinted it, in a sarcastic manner, as it were, but they have never come out openly and said "we were the fellow," hence the shoe didn't fit us and we would have been a little premature to have buckled it around our foot. The charge is false and as a maU ter of course we deny it. George Streby, editor of the Du» shore Gazette, is doing considerable talking about boodle and how the boys shall vote this November. He urges them to vole her straight. When you come to think it over is George In a position to advise? What did the evidence in the con test uncover?' Was it fifty "shiners" or a small "wad?" Then again 1 haven't you the same right he had last fall concerning your vote? He refused to vote. This he docs not deny. Now, all things considered is George in a position to advise you politically? We do not make n charge against him, but merely re fresh your memory. When you have given this a thought you will come ton decided conclusion. Reflect U|H>n this, would it not have been better for George to haw gone to the polls and Toted his choice ? He was dissatisfied with (lie Democratic tloket, which was ev ident. You have the same right to be dissatisfied with the Demo» cratie ticket this full. Ue a man and goto the polls and vote your choice Tho candidates are all com |K>tent to .I'd the ofllue to which they aspire.

At llcr Home 011 Nunday Evening Last. It becomes our sorrowful duty to convey to our readers this week the sad intelligence of the death of Mrs. VV. C. Mason, wife of W. 0. Mason, Esq., of Laporte. Mrs, Mason was taken on Monday, Sept. 30, with a severe cold which soon developed into pneumonia. After a week's sickness she began to convalesce and ber condition was such as to indicate a speedy recovery. On Saturday last she suffered a relapse, however, and continued togiow rapidly worse. She expired early Sunday evening. Mrs. Mason was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stormont, «>f Laporte, and was born in Wind* iiam twp., Norfolk county, Canada, May 31, 18G0. Her parents came to Laporte when she was but five years of age and trom that time her home has been here. On December 28, 1881, she was united in marriage with W. C. Mason Esq. Four chil dren have been born to them, the youngest being only a little over one year old. Her untimely death re moves from her family circle ade voted wife and mother, and an affec tionate daughter and sister. Mrs. Mason was a generous sym pathetic woman and although her timily cares and duties consumed most of her time and strength she was ever ready to prove her worth as a neighbor and friend by doing ill in her power to aid the needy and relieve the distressed. Her jare and thoughtfnlness for those about her commended her to all who were fortunate enough to be num bered among her acquaintances. Not only will she be greatly missed in the home that has beeu so suddenly saddened, but in the entire commun ity where she has lived since girl Uood. Expressions of sympathy for r ,he grief-stricken family are univer sal. The funeral services were held in he Presbyterian church Wednesday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. 11. W. l'olk, of Towaudq,. # The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. L'. B. Cole, who reside at a distance from here, will regret to learn that ihey are still confined In the asylum at Danville. While "Dent," as he was familiiarly called, is enjoying health physically, his mental powers have not improved, with no i probabilities of recovery in the future. Mrs. Cole is also enjoying good bodily health, ber mental powers have improved somewhat but she is still afflicted with that dread char acteristic of her malady—melan choly. The case of Mr. and Mrs Cole is a peculiarly sad one and ap peals to the deepest sympathy of all their fricuds, yet all are powerless to aid them in their sad mental afflictions. A'l is being done for them that medical science, and skill can suggest, and we trust their re covery may yet result from thorough treatment.—Benton .1 rgua, Mr. and Mrs. Ilussel Karns and Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Karns of Laporte paid Mr. and Mrs. Cole a visit at the Danville Asylum on Thursday ol last week. Mrs. F. W. Meylert ol Lnporte, U quite ill. She has been suffering with a bail cold for several days past, and was taken with a coughing spell at the funeral of Mrs. Mason and re turned to her home. Dr. Voorhees is in att 11 dance. ile|er'» Evidence. Toronto, Oct., 14.—Detective Geycr, who has made himself famous in the Holmes' case came to Toronto this afiornoon to secure evidence that may be used again ts Holmes at his trial for the murder of Pitezel. He will endeavor to secure the atten dance of seven or eight witnesses from here, among whom will be Mr. Xudel and daughter, from whom Holmes is alleged to have reuted the house in the cellar of which the skeletons of the murdered children were found. Geycr does not think that Holmes will ever be tried iu Toronto, as he claims he has a complete chain of evidence against him for the murder of I'ite/.el, in Philadelphia.

It is probable that a hotel will be erected in early spring and the grounds along the shore cleared of debris, the streets work ed, baithing ground prepared and bath houses erected. Mix or Seven, Which ? The question as to how many candidates for judges of the new Superior court each qualified elector is entitled to vote for will be passed upon bj' the Supreme court before the November elections. Proceed ings will be instituted at once and every effort mac' 2 to speed the cause and secure a decision by the court before the 22d inst., the date fixed by law for the Secretary of the Com monwealth to send out the official ballot. The attorneys interested say this proceeding cannot effect the political character of the bench as the time for filing nomination papers lias passed and no party has named more than six candidates. tiii: fisii liar.

The Milford Dispatch is responsi ble for the story that at llock Hill, Sullivan, the little' ice ponds are completely dried up, and Farmer Cuddeback, whose pond was stocked with Germu. has had the mis fortune to lose his entire buckwheat crop. The carp, going overland in search of water, passed through his buckwheat field, and, being hungry is well as dry, cleaned it up as slick •is a hoard of grasshoppers could have done. All his neighbors are up in arms, and in order to s.ive their crops are making use of every available weapon with which to ex terminate the threatened pest. As fast as they are killed they are be ing salted down, some far ners hav ing as many as eight barrels in brine. Fanner Duddelmck s:iys that if he can't have buckwheat cakes this winter he will have the next thing to them, buckwheat carp. Ten years ago the logs in Wiscon sin ran four or live to 1,000 feet of lumber. Now, twelve, fifteen and even twenty logs are required to furnish as much.

What is being done i:i Wisconsin lias been perpetrated even to a great er extent in this State. Wisconsin has only been one of the Common wealths of the United States since 1848, Pennsylvania's record as the Keystone of the arch is from I<7o. The older the State the better the government one naturally presumes. The new forestry commission of this State has a gigantic work before it. Will it prove equal to saving what remains of the forests ol Pennsyl vania 112 The question is now raised that the new law which provides that judges of election shall only receive £3.50 per day and clerks only $3 00 docs not apply to this years election because the constitution says that the compensation of an elective ofll cer shall not be increased or dimin ished during the time for which he is elected. Here is a very pretty point of law for the courts to decide. There is 110 question that these otll— cers were elected before the law l<e-» c:ime operative. They went Into otllce in February, at the time they were elected, while the act did not Itccotne a law until it was signed by the Coventor, and that was iu June.
