Senator David 15. Hill is togo on

draw well here.
Pocket stoves for New York
policemen are the latest. Tlicy
weigh only a few ounces, but the
linn that builds them say that they
will make the force comfortable in

delights in making things warm for

the portable baseburners. If they
are loaded with alcohol, however, he
may think twice about it.
The petitioners for the judicial
contest have been directed to appear
at the December session of the tri
bunal at Laporte, to show cause, H
any there be, why the cost of the
contest should not be placed upon
I hem. Inasmuch as there are but a
very few of the whole number o I
doners who have any available as
sets, those few will industriously ap
ply themselves to the task, as they
have no desire whatever to shoulder
the whole burden of costs. It is not
seriously belived that the court will
impose the costs upon them, but the
judges are not making up their
minds without a full hearing of the
case.— JEX
.tSunitcs ol tlie Local Institute

ed by a general discussion. The

AXNA KABGE, Sec'y.
Since the recent election, a worker
in the Republican ranks, has taken
the time and trouble to look np the
stay at home Republican vote in
Sullivan county ami on Saturday
last this count reached SKS with
several of the Eastern precincts to
hear from. Among this list is Lopez
and the supposition is that, this dis
trict alone will increase the numbur
to 150. The democratic vote was
oat almost to a man. 'Tis true,
however, that the independent Dem
ocratic and Republican voters ca«t
their ballots, so far as our county
ticket wan concerned, without refer
ence to party principles, but this is
so at all elections. The state ticket
is the oul 3' basis, and had our vote
been gotten out, Mr. Haywood would
have received a small majority for
State Treasurer. Sullivan county is
naturally Republican, and with our
party vote out, will prove it beyond
doubt. The Democrats are anxious
to attend the elections and arc there
annually. There is a very good
reason for this. In each district iu
our county there are from one to six
prospective Democratic candidates.
These people to guiD recognition in
their party, must get out the vote in
their respective precincts, hence the
rank and file of the Democratic party
are looked after by those who ex
pect to profit thereby. While on
the Republican side we are compell
ed to persuade men to take a place
on our ticket, hence our workers are
engaged, because they are true and
tirui believers of Rebublioinism and
not with a view of profit. When we
have proven to the voter that we
iiavea majority of the votes in Sulli
van county and stripped the Demo
crats of the only means they have of
getting out their vote, a big change
will follow. For instance, if we
should carry Sullivan county by 50
or 10J votes at the '96 election our
majority at the '97 election would
reach 200 and we would continue to
grow stronger annually. Ijet each
one of us do what we. can to further
our success at the IS9'> election.
One hard light, and success achieved
.iur future lot will he an easy one.
The judicial contest court will
meet in Laporte on Thursday, Dec
12th. At this meeting the judges
will announce the election ol Hon L.
VI, Dunham as president judge
<»f the forty-fourth judicial district
and will designate who shall
pay the costs of the contest. The
attornics for the respondent will
make a hard fight in behalf of the I
counties and argue that the petition i
ers shall meet this obligation.
Should they be successful, it would I
hp pretty hard on our old neighbors
mil acquaintances, while on the
>ther hand it would seem unjust for
\ lot of innocent people to pay a
iill contracted by those people.
It is expected that the court will
reach a decision on the above men
tioned date and if tlic argument
'loos not continue until late in the
afternoon of Thursday, we hope to
announce the same in our next issue.
In which event the REPUBLICAN, go
ing north may be delayed until the
evening train.

The present indications are that
quite a number of the witnesses in
the judicial contest will lose their
pay through failure to file their
claims in time for consideration at
the next session of the judicial court.
The only notification sent out is
through the newspapers, and as in
some of tlm back districts they have
no use for such things, the chances
of their knowing anything about the
matter are slim. However, what
they lose the district will gain, and
it is not the first instance in which
a man has lost more than the sub
scription price of a weekly paper b\
not taking it, —Tunkhannock JVew

Very little honey has been gather
ed in many localities this year as a
direct result of the unusually long
drought. Flowers were compara
tively scarce and the bees seemed to
get but lit tie honey from what, flow*

Pennsylvania, it is said, there is
' danger of tho bees starving to death

being needed by tho bees for their
own use.

By 155 I'oiittM,
The grand hunt ns announced in
the REPUBLICAN last week, took
place on Saturday. It was a large
day and all was excitement. Every
body who could, joined the army and
during the day tlie "bang" of guns
were heard on either side and in
quick succession. Old soldiers su.y
it reminded them of the army of the
Potomac. The day was not favors
able however, it was cold and the
game laid low and was not on the
move.
CHOOSISTO UP SII)K3.
On Friday evening the Captains-
Messrs. J. W. Ballard and A. J.

THE JUDGES:
Chas Landon, W. C. Mason,
It. A. Conkliu.
Sir. Ballard and his crew won
by 155 points.
It is only fair to say, however,
lhat only one person, Mr. Voorhees,
chosen on Mr. Ballard's side, failed
to take part in the hunt, while foui
persons chosen by Mr. Ilackley did
not take part. They were T. J
Keeler who was detained because ol
sickness in his family, F. II Ingham
same cause, W. M. Cueney was call
ed to the sick bed of his mother at
Ragles Mere, and Samuel Miller who
is trackman on the W. & N. 8..
•la led to get a furlough. These
absentees, had they been present,
might have added to the count of
iheir respective sides. This is sup
position, however, and it was game
the boys were after. Mr. Ballard
and his sharp shooters won nicely
and they now call themselves the
boss shooters of the county.
It was suggested lhat because of
the absentees the judges decide the
contest to the side that made the
best average, This the judges re
fused to do, and it was almost the
universal opinion of those present
that they did right-. It was Oapt.

A Nir« trinl <|ni>i«tlou.
A question with a nice legal point
whs argued before Judge Metzger at
WilliainHport, Thursday morning on
tlie application for a writ of habeas
corpus to secure thoreloase from j >ll
of .loh'i Smith, (.he man arrested on
the charge of perjury and held for
court miller SI,OOO bail.
Smith, it wiU he remembet'od, was
a witness for the plaintiff in the case
of Sarah llews against the \\ iliiaui
sport & North liram li railroad, in'
which a verdict of #IO,OOO was re
turned for lhe plaintill". He swore
that hw was in tiie cab of tlie engine
with the crew when the accident
occurred, while the six men com
prising the crew swore positively
that Smith was not there, and a day
or so after the verdict was given
Smith was arrested for perjury as
stated.
The ground taken by the attorneys!
for Smith in their application for a
writ of habeas corpus is tbat a wit
ness in a ease cannot be legally ar
rested and imprisoned on a charge
of perjury until the case has been
iiiifllly disposed of. After hearing
argument on hotti sides, the court
decided for the present to reduce
the bail from SI,OOO to 300, and
stated that he would give the matter
further consideration, the following
order being made:
•'And now, to-wit, November 21,
181)5, after hearing argument of
councel, and after due consideration
it is ordered that John Smith, the
prisoner, give bail with one or more
sureties in the sum of S3OO, con
ditional for his appearance at next
court of quarter sessions of the peace
to answer the charge of perjury, and
that he be remanded to the custody
»112 the sheriff in the meantime. This
order to be subjected to revocation
at any time, if, upon further consid
eration, the court or judge should be
<>f opiniou that the prisoner was im
properly arrested."

(Illicitly Assuaged.
A death, a funeral and a wedding
occurred at Wilkes-Barre in one
household within the space of three
lays. Tuesday afternoon of last
week I'eter Frontz, a miuer who
'ive.l in the suburb of that city and
whose wife kept a boarding house,
was badly injured in the mine. He
died the same night and nis wife and
three children the uext day appeared
in mourning. They received the sym
pathy of the neighbors and the sym
pathy of John Strong, one of »he
boarders, was noticeable. Thursday
afternoon the funeral took place, the
>vidow, tlie children and John Streng
and several neighbors followed the
body to the „rave. Tlitusday night
he mother and JohnStreug told the
children they were going out. In
tu hour they returned and the wo
man introduced Streng to the chil
dren as "your new papa."
Tin* Farmer* Here Afraid.
A smooth tongued sti anger claim
ing New York as his homo, was cir
culating among ihe farmers of Her
rick recently. He desired to make |
a contract for the removing of stone
from a fanner's land, which were to
be ground up and used in making
pavements in 'die city. He also de
sired to secure board with the farm
ers for half dozen men and several
teams which would be used in the
work. Those whom he approached
were very chary about signing an}
contracts, according to a correspond
eut, and they were probably doing a
wise tiling when tbey hesitated
about putting their names to a paper
for an}' stranger—Towanda Jiev.
