Jeremiah Kelly, HUGHESVILLE. Republican News Item. "ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE OF LIBERTY." LAPORTE, PENNA., THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1900. Democrats and Republicans! In fact it matters not with what political party you are affiliated, you should be a Protectionist in one re spect. That is to say you should protect yourselves against loss by the destruction of your property by fire; and what is still more essential, protect your families against the loss of their support by the death of the person who produces that support— the husband the father. This latter protection can be obtained practical ly without expense, since it is pos sible, and in fact compulsory, for the life insurance company to safely in vest the funds paid into their hands, and, after a term of years, return same with profits to policy holders, if living, on demand. This matter should command your seri ous attention. Delay is dangerous and expensive. You will therefore do well to consult the agent in regard to the merits of the I'enn Mutual Life Insurance Company of Phila delphia, which is justly reputed to be the most conservative and the most economical as well as the most liberal and equitable in its dealings with policy holders. It is no experiment or adventure but by all odds the safest and best investment you can make, besides furnishing protection to your family. The I'enn Mutual is already over •j;i years old and has over 2'M 1,000,000 of insurance in force, several hun dred thousand dollars of which is in i Sullivan county.

The garrison is much depressed. The British authorities have already listed 12,000 alleged rebels in Cape Colony and Natal. A Cape Town correspondent of the London Daily Mail says that General Carrlngton's force is the . only one going to the relief of Mafeking. and that no force of any kind is operating from the south.

Fifty Thousand _Mer* d and the Lota ia Million*. All effortsjto settle the four,months' struggle between the Contractors' Union and the,affiliated'labor unions in Chicago have failed. Conference committees failed; an Aldermanic Council committee failed; Mayor Harrison personally failed. Now it is up to the people of Chicago. The Mayor has appealed to the people, and the people have blood in their eye. "A plague on both your houses," is the public sentiment. The issues now are these: The Contractors' Union, backed by men who make and supply building ma terials, refuse to arbitrate until the labor unions repudiate and throttle the Building Trades Council, which is a sort of a governing body and clearing-house of all labor unions. It keeps them in affiliation, "all for one, one for all." The Contractors' Union further re quires that the labor unions shall not limit the amount of work a man shall do in a day. The labor unions refuse to comply with these demands, but are willing to submit to arbitration. They point to the fact that contractorn not mem bers of the Contractors' Union and friendly with labor cannot carry on work, because supply men refuse to sell them material. The question of wages is not an issue. It is a struggle of union cap ital against union labor. Mayor Har rison has given the police stringent orders to prevent rioting and blood shed. The Contractors' Union is bitter ly complaining of lack of protection for non-union men, and the Mayor shows that If the entire police force were taken from regular duty and put guarding contractors' work the force would be inadequate. This has given rise to rumors of bringing out the militia. Mayor Harrison said: "I do not be lieve the Building Trades Council Is necessary for the future of Chicago. I do not believe that the Building Contractors' Council is necessary for the future of Chicago." "A cessation of the present strife and turmoil, a cessation of bodily assault and continued lawlessness, is necessary for the progress and pros perity of Chicago. It may be attained in one way and one way only—ap pointment of a committer" of arbitra tion. Let the members of that com mittee be men not allied with either council nor prominent in political parties. If they hold the Building Trades Council should be disbanded let is disband. If they hold the Build ing Contractors' Council should go out of existence, let it go out of exist ence." A SAD CASE. Arrest of a Woman and Man on a Grave Charge. Wilbur P. Hammond, jeweller, of Greenport, L. 1., and Miss Carolina R. Brown, daughter of the principal hardware merchant of that town, were arrested April 27 and charged with abandoning a baby, which Hammond said he found at the Twenty-third street ferry at New York. Miss Carrie Brown, as she is called by everybody there, was born and brought up in Greenport and educated in a seminary. She is u member of the Presbyterian Church. She is well read and a member of a local literary society. Orrin F. Brown, the girl's father, is nearly eighty years old and greatly respected in the community. On the arrival of Mr. Hammond and Miss Brown at the Thirty-fourth street ferry in New York the detec tives with them secured hacks and took them to Police Headquarters. Captain McClusky took Hammond and the woman into his office and ques tioned them, but it could not be learn ed that anything of Importance was secured in this way. Former District Attorney David Welch appeared at headquarters and announced that he had been retained as counsel for both the prisoners. The young woman's father, with his friend. Judge Reeves, went out after bondsmen. After a long search they obtained Grant L. Nichols. He gave bonds for the release of Miss Brown, who had been removed to the Mercer street station, whore there is a ma tron. forest nres are devastating thou sands of acres of timber land in the wilds of Cumberland and Atlantic counties.

Throe prisoners, charged with raising silver certificates and Treasury notes, have been captured by Chief Hazen, of the Secret Service, assisted by De tectives Hurl on. Cannon anil Henry, at 149 West Ninety-eighth street. New York. The prisoners taken were Ed ward Henry, alias lioudle, thirty-sev en years old; his wife, Mary, twenty nine years old, and his brother-in-law, Harry Eschbach, alias -Miller, thirty two years old. When arraigned he fore United States Commissioner Shields they were criarged with raw ing S2 silver certificates to $5. aud rite $2 McPherson aud rewster Treasury note to $lO.

About a week ago a son of a man named Wolf had one of the raised Mils passed on him, and rei-og niziriyr it from the description fur nished. tracked the man who had passed it to the house at 140 West Ninety-eighth street. "After obtaining the necessary evi dence for the conviction of the men as to the passing of the bills, we raid ed the place, capturing the prisoners in the rear top flat and u complete outfit for the raising of bills, which consisted of a hand press, inks, paper cut In the desired shape, wood cuts, xecjion cuts, and several electrotypes which liad boon made from Hie wood I'hief Uazen is of the opinion that )ie has nipped n scheme in the hud for issuinc a number of counterfeit five dollar notes, because the back of a five-dollar note was found on Esch bach. The chief does not believe that, anything further had been done In that direction as yet. As to how much raised money they had succeeded in passing, ihe chief would not venture to say, but he stated that the work was very good, making It exception ally hard to detect. The custom of the woman, who did some of the pass ing. was to seldom purchase anything, but to invariably afcfc for change. All the prisoners were Intelligent and made a good appearance when ar raigned before the Commissioner. Henry is a smooth-faced, rather well dressed man, and Eschbach was also dressed well, and had a black imts tache. The woman was much bejew ele«l, and was of a handsome brunette type. She was very backward In an swering questions put to her, was on the verge of tears, and seemed unable to stand the strain of the court. Lover Shot Husband While the Wife Fixed the Lantern. James Harris has confessed the murder of John Allen, a wealthy mer chant of Ottumwa, Kan., and has Im plicated the wife of the victim. To the Sheriff Harris told this story, af terward putting it in writing and sign ing it: "I shot John on Friday night. There is too much evidence against me now. Mrs. Allen was also implicated. For years we have been more than good friends. We wanted to marry, but. we also wanted money, and we killed Allen to get his property and the $1,500 insurance he carried. I was to get half of the money and she was to pay off a small mortgage on my little farm. We planned the murder several days ago, but no good opportunity pre sented itself until Friday night. I stood behind a tree in Allen's yard, where I had waited night after night without getting a shot. John and his wife had visited the store and were coming homo. "Mrs. Allen carried a lantern. She knew I was there and stepped inside just before John had set the lantern so that It threw its light on him. I got a good chance and fired just as he was stepping in." Mrs. Allen was brought before Har ris and he repeated his confession. Mrs. Allen, weeping, admitted she may have been too friendly with Har ris. but denies complicity in the mur der. She was placed in jail without (iond. Mrs. Allen is thirty-eight years old, and far from handsome. Her three children are married and one is the mother of a child. She and her hua band did not get on hagptly, and more than onco they sep*rat£4.
