disease at the Emergency hospital

setsforth that the boys stole candy
from Mr. Webb's place of business.
These arc the youngest convicts ever
placed in our county jail and it is to
be hoped that the parents of the un
fortunate children and Mr. Webb
will settle the difficulties before

Concerned. In the district there
were 15)1 votes cast for Dunham ro
jeoted, and 313 cast for Sittser re
jected, in addition to which the Ist
Ward i.i this borough, giving Sittser
!1 majority, was thrown out because
•he polling: place was changed with
>ut an order of court. This gives
Dunham a majority in the district of
177. On December 12th the court
will convene to file its report and
fix tho matter of costs, which will
complete its work. Should the cost
be placed on the counties, the county
commissioners will probably be
forced to levy a special tax for their
payment, and each taxpayer will
know just how much he has to pay
in the matter.—Tunkhnnnock Jitp.
"Bob' - Ingersol said in a speech a
few years . go, 'T will not believe
in a hell until Kentucky goes repub
lican." Kentucky elected a Repub
lican governor at the last election.
Now we wonder if the great infidel
will believe there is ahill ? lie de
nied a hell because iie thought it im
possible. He also thought it impos
sible for Kentucky togo republican.
The latter has proven '-Bob" a poor
prophet. Will the former impossi
bility (in the great agnostic's mind)
become a reality ? By such little
incidents as this the drift of a man's
mind has changed. It was an inci
dent like this that called Saul of
Tarsus from slaying Christians and
made him Paul, the great apostle to
the Gentiles. But we fear this event
will have 110 weight 011 the skeptical
mind of Robert; and he will goon
telling the "Mistakes of Moses."—
Ex.
The result of the recent election
in Sullivau county is a reminder
that the young men of our county
are considering tho weight of their
buliotand have come to tbeconclusion
that there is more wisdom in voting
for bread for the table nud clothing
for their children than to continue
to vote the Democratic ticket be
cause their fathers did so. The
National issues of to-day are not the
-ante as thirty years ago. The Re
publican and Democratic platforms
of to-day only diiler on the tarifl'
question. The former advocates
that a duty shall be levied 011 foreign
goods shipped and sold in this coun
try, while the latter takes kindly to
our mother country and permits
her goods to enter the United states
free of duty. During the Republi
can administration this duty furnish
ed ample means to keep the wheels
of our government in motion. Since
189.', our government has run be-
I hind several million dollars. Which
■a the better platform ?
Just received a complete line of gents
and youths overcoats. Cull mid examine
them, we are positive our prices will meet
your approval. The quality of our goods
are the best in the market.

Judge Hare, in the court of quar
ter in Philadelphia, on Sat
urdij- rendered au important decision
i.i the habeas corpus case brought
by Julia I-'ny for release from the
county prison. Fay was fined 810
by Magistrate Sleviu, on September
2:! d last for peddling charcoal in the
"treats without a license, and com
mitted to prison in default of the
line. In overturning the magistrate's
decision, commitment, nnd sustain
ing Jaseph L. T ill. attorney for the
(Intense, Judge Hare said the line in
I Mich it c:isi; was only a debt to the
i city, and the Commonwealth had no
I right to imprison the man tor debt.
| The judge suid that if the city want
jed to collect the mony they should
not do it by putting a man in prison,
i but sue him for it. Prisoner Fay
j was consequently discharged from
1 custody.
Election mid the Tar III".
The Buffalo Express a Republican
paper says: "Thb Republican sue
cess in New York this year can be
called more distinctly a tariff victory
than was that of last year or two
.years at{o. While the Republicans
deserved popular indorsement on
State issues, there was certainly
nothing in these to call out such an
enormous vote. The issue of Hill
ism rtrid Maynardism may properly
be held to have warranted the great
outpouring of last year, but those
issues cut little figure this year. So
far as the State ticket was concerned
ihe Cleveland Democrats worked as
hard for the Democratic candidates
as the Hill men did. The Demo
crats were badly divided on lpcal
candidates, to be sure, but this
should have increased, rather than
1 issened the vote on the State ticket.
It is noteworthy, too, that the lie
publican victory was won this year
in the country among the farmers,
where Hillisro and Tammanyism are
!>ut little understood. The Repub
licans went to Harlem Bridge with
ihe astonishing plurality of 1-14,000.
Last year, in an election (or Gov-1
ernor, thev took down to the Bronx
but 137,000. Two years ago, the
victory was won practically by Buf
falo and Brooklyn, the country vote
barely offsetting the Democratic
majority on Manhattan Island. It
may be concluded that a very large
proportion of the men who voted the
Republican ticket this year did so
with the determination to remain
Republicans permanently. Thej
have had all they want of democratic
rule. The farmers who have been
selling potatoes at fifteen cents a
bushel, wool at ten cents a pound
and wheat at fifty cents a bushel had
most to do with winning this tri
umph. Times have been growing
worse and worse among these men
with each new year of Democratic
policies, and this accounts for the
evorincreasing numbers in which
they are flocking to the Republican
standard. They want the MeKinlov
law restored,
' if the county remains Democratic
some heroic measures must bo tak
en." These were the words of Geo.
Streby in the .Onshore Gazette, pub
lished in his issue, of Nov, 7tli. It
would appear that some of his Dem
ocratic friends have taken exceptions
to this article aud last week the
Gazetk contained an article purport
ing that all is harmony in the Dem
ocratic ranks and that a num
ber of Democrats hud been interview
fd and all was quiet and hopefui
on the Potomac.
Now, the truth of the matter is,
Streby was right, he says:"lt 1-
vcry evident that there is something
wrong somewhere. What are the
causes ot our defeat '! \\ hat can be
lone to s'.em the tide which has set
•11 against the Democratic party 111
Sullivan county?''
The article in the Gaz tie lasts week
vould like to havo covered up the
words of Mr. Strcby,but that is iin
possible, they were too forcible and j
true to be cast aside. The people
„112 Sullivan, like Mr. Streby, are sat
isfied that our county will give a
Republican majority in 18i)6. The j
farmers and laboring people are sat-1
isfied that Democratic ruling is dis
astrous to their business, and why
-hould they support the party, know
ing this fact 'i
Harrison l>euie* It.
New York, Nov. 17.—Ex-Presi
dent Harrison denies that he has
had an attack of the South African
mining fever. He was seen to-night
at the Filth Avenue Hotel and was
asked concerning a reported fortun
ate speculation in South African
stocks, whereby, it was said, lie had
realized SIOO,OOO ou an investment
of SSOO, General Harrison said:
••When I make investments I will
make them myself. Naturally, in
vestments are of a private nature
and a man does not always tell every
one what he does with his money,
but I deny having made any invest
ments in South African mines or
having received any check as the
proceeds of such investments. There
is no truth whatever iu any state
ments that have boon published."

Holmes' Counsel in u liail I'lighl
Philadelphia, Nov. 18,—The argu
ment for a new trial for the convict
ed murderer, I). 11. Holmes, was
heard to-day in the Court of Oyer
aud Terminer, and this remarkable
case furnished another sensation.
One of the counsel for the prisoner
produced an affidavit in court alleging
to show that Pitezel, the murdered
man, contemplated suicide. Amidst
the silent amazement of the specta
tors and the shocked astonishment
of tho court, District Attorney Gra
ham proved the affidavit to be false
and showed that Mr. Shoemaker, the
attorney for Holmes who offered ii
had paid the woman who ?wore to it
S2O for doing so. Shoemaker was
-to overcome by this exposure that
he could make no explanation and
at the conclusion of the argument he
was hold in 81,500 bail by the court
to an-wer to the charge of suborna
tion of perjury.
Holmes was in court during the
argument and tie has foiled percep
tibly in looks since his trial. lie
has lost the prison bleach which
paled liis check and a hectic flush
lias taken i'.s place. His eyes wore
bloodshot ami dark rings around
theiu told of anxious days and night-;,
ilis manner was not as cool and un
concerned as it was during his trial
and he showed an almost feverish
intc-est in the proceedings. As
formerly, however, he retained his
and tootc notes of
the District Attorney's argument
and prompted his lawyer during his
address.
The argument consumed the en
tire day and the court reserved its
decision, but from the questions ask
ed by tho J udgc it poems certain a
new trial will be refused.
