BRINK. fCovnty Seat | Local and Personal Events! Tersely Told. J J. V. Finkle is visiting liis son Frank at Hillsgrove, this week. Mrs. Dewitt Laylon of Glen Mawr, visited friends here last week. Miss Henrietta Hick of Brook lyn, N. Y., is the guest of Miss Eliza Shaut at this place. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Hitter and daughter, Ada, visited at the home of Dr. Wackeiihuth at Picture Hocks, on Sunday last. Mr. W. C. Mason has gone to Punxatawny where he will he en gaged at surveying for sovera months. Mrs. Wells and grand daughter, (if Towanda, and Mrs. Brown of Wyalusing are recent arrivals at the Mountain House. On Friday evening Dr. Whalen will lecture on"The Bright and Dark Side of Life in New York City." All who fail to attend this lecture will miss a rare treat. Dr. Whalen, a lecturer of note who is at the Eagles Mere Chau tauqua, gave an illustrated lecture upon "The Life of Christ, in the Baptist church at this place Mon day evening. 11 was an excellent and instructive lecture and ably delivered. The romantic novel written by Hllery I'. Ingham, entitled "At The Point of the .Sworil" has come from the press and is being largely read and eagerly sought tor at this place. The book is on sale at this office for £1 ~"i(i a volumn, the regular price of all standard works. Mail orders will be promptly tilled. A re view of the hook will he published later. After making attacks upon the honor and integrity of Judge K rails Judge Line, Judge Dunham and Judge Met/.gar, Seouten continues his course by an attack on Judge Mitchell. We merely ventured to say that Judge Mitchell had. at his request, granted him a new trial and tried his wise fairly and honestly. This he calls "trash," and characterizes it as "absolutely false." If Judge Mitchell had not intended to t.ieat Seouten honestly and fairly, why did he grant a new trial? He surely did not have to. That he made an unintentional er ror in one of the numerous rulings he was called upon to make is now decided, but that lie was dishonest and unfair is not true. The Super ior Court does not impute unfair ness to him. If Mr. Seouten will calmly consider the numerous pros ecutions he has had in court during the term of Judge Sittser.and since, he will he forced to the conclusion that the dishonesty is nearer home that on the bench. I it response to the cull for ;i meet ing of those interested in forming a cemetery association, a largo number <>l citizens met in the court room last Saturday evening. The meeting was organized hy the elec tion of Hon. K. M. Dunham as president, and F. W. Meylert sec retary. The question of a perman ent cemetery organization was ful ly discussed by several citizens and a committee of seven was appoint ed with full power to take such action as in its judgment would best bring about the desired results. The committee appointed is as fol lows : F. \\ . Meylert, W. C, Mas on, A. J.Haekley. Mrs. M.C.Lauer, Ellery I\ Ingham, John Mini.ier, At a subsequent meeting of the committee it was decided to circu late a subscription paper to raise sutlicient funds to make urgent, immediate repairs and improve ments at the cemetery. It was al so decided to at once proceed to form a chartered organization, and a committee was appointed to pre pare the necessary legal papers. All citizens will be given an oppor tunity to become members of the corporation and it is hoped that with a permanent organization Mt, Ash cemetery may be placed and kept in such condition as to reflect credit upon all concerned. DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION. Chairman Scouten called the con-1 vention to order. John G. Wright: wan elected president; J. W. Flynn and Ransom Thrasher, viee-preßi- j dents; John Finan, Geo. Hartzig and Frank Magargle, secretaries. After appointment of committee on I resolutions the convention waited. The committee finally imported the usual clasf. of resolutions and the convention proceeded to business. L. K. CJavitt of Laporte twp., was nominated for Treasurer. Peter j Vonkin and Thos. Gahan both of Cherry twp., for County Coniinis sioners. Christian Caseman of Elkland, and James Sweeney of Lopez for County Auditors. Edw. Rogers of Elkland, Member ol Assembly. J. Henry Cochran of Williamsport, for state senate; ('. 11. Dickerman of Milton for con gress, and Alexander Billmeyer 112 r the short term congressman. Everything was plain sailing ex cept for the nomination of commis sioners. The first ballot showed Yonkin 2!):\, (Jahan-5, Bender lit?,, Laird 13 and Thrasher 111.. Then by some sort of manipulation not understood at the time by a large number of delegates two additional votes were given to Yonkin,Chilian, and Bender, giving Vonkin 151 A, (iahan -7, Bender -1 A. If instead of doing this had the convention dropped the lowest man as provid ed for in their rules, the second choice on another ballot would most likely have nominated Ben der instead of Gahan. But Cherry has eight delegates and proposes to j take care of itself. The convention then called upon j Messrs Dickerman ami Rogers who j both responded to the call. Mr. Chas. 11. Dickerman had a typewritten speech prepared which ! issured the people present that i Columbia county would give l'atti- j son a good majority, which arous ed wild enthusiasm. Hon. E. G. Rogers had a well prepared speech ready in which lie L'ndeavored to explain why he had ■supported measures against his party caucus decisions, or some- j thing on that strain,and also quot ed Henry Clay in support of hisi Actions in the last legislature. We! lid not know who it was controled his vote on some of the legislation j Imt never supposed it way Henry.! Atty. A. Walsh apologized for j the absence of the Hon. Henry j Cochran, after which the conven adjourned. DVSHORE.
