dressing stand was smashed in tine
fragment, an easel in the parlor was
torn in pieces and a large gilt frame
was ruined. In the kitchen the floor
was splintered up in front of the
stove and a hole made through the
wall near a clock shelf. A rafter on
the out kitchen was split and siding
torn ofl'in places. At the time of
the stroke Mrs. Flynn was going up
stairs to close a window, her little
son, Arthur, was playing on the floor
in the kitchen with a hatchet and
saw the lightnipg streak around him
but a few feet way. The shock was
scarcely felt b; either of the occu
pants.
"THE MACHINE.""
Scouten's Herald asks thequestion,
"Who can tell what induced the
machine to nominate James Dein
inger for Prothonotary?"
The "machine" he refers to is
composed of the following gentle
men : Messrs Williams Collin, C.
Is. Watson, Nelson Cox, Wm. Hay
of Hern ice; It. C. It. Kshinka, Law
rence LaYelle, L. 15. Zaner, E. W.
Hiiflhiaster of Cherry; B.L. Keeney,
Daniel Osman, <>.<>. Barnes of Colley;
Philip (J.Diddle, D.A.Wagner, M. A.
Scurcnian, Joseph Carpenter of Du
shore; John Girton, Henry Small,
Sam Kddy, Dennis Palmatierof Dav
idson; G. B. 1 Mnley, A. Lincoln
Moyer of Eagles Mere; (1. 11. Mc-
Carty, Geo. Hown, ('has. Haumunk,
Carl McCarty, Edward Norton, El
mer Bedford of Klkland t'Vp; Dr. B.
E. Gamble, John Itandall'of Forks
ville; E. It. Warliurton, li. C. Par
doe, A. T. Wilcox of Forks; It. S.
Fanning, T. G. McKay, Sam Leon
ard, Leon Campbell of Fox; Jacob
Gries, A. A. Ludy of Hillsgrove;
Wm. 11. Rogers, Wm. J. Lawrence
of Laporte; M. W. Botsford, Geo.A.
Gorman of Laporte Twp.; Thos.
Killie, Joseph Drake, Geo. Carring
ton, W. J. McCartney, Ellery Pot
ter, H. S. Eley of Lopez; Edward F.
Wilbur, Archibald Jones of Itiekctts;
Salathiel Mead, G. W. Lawrenson of
ltingdale.
Hack of these gentlemen stand
the hosts of holiest citizens who elect
ed them as delegates, and on elec
tion day the inquisitive chairman
will find out the reason why they
nominated James C. Deininger for
Prothonotary.
"Last year the machine placed (lie
name of the weallliiet merchant in West
ern Sullivan on their ticket li»r Associate
This year their nominee is the
wealthiest merchant in the Kastern part
of the county. <'an no man hut a man of
fortune attract the attention ol l lie bosses,
and is it their purpose to purchase the
prize?"—Scouten's Herald.
We do not care to inquire whether
John I>. Iteeser is the wealthiest
merchant in the Kastern part of the
county or not. What be has, came
honestly. An honest man will not
"purchase the prize" of an oflice, or
expend money unlawfully in elec
tions.
What may be expected from the
chairman of the Democratic commit
tee can be inferred from the letter
which be published in bis paper
after election last fall, in which one
of bis agents reported as follows:
"Well I went to Fox Monday eve
ning, November * * * I arose
bright and early Tuesday morning
and went down to the f.iticc that our
friend llickok gave me the full con
trol of for the day, and opened up
our lire on the enemy. The first
twenty votes were ours. ** * At
eleven o'clock we had them 'knock
ed out' and I ordered up twelve good
dinners we got good ones, too. * *
Beached home at dark to find they
had stolen one of our men and sent
him hunting. Hut I got on another
bustle and landed hi in all safe. I
bad three cents left, and was sorry
that Crossley did not have that to
buy Wing with."
