Mr. Harley Edkin, the genial
conductor on the W. and N. B.
passanger train has resigned his
position, much to the displeasure
of the management of the road, we
are informed, and well it might be
so for he leaves a place that will be
hard to lill with equal satisfaction.
Ever obliging to the patrons of the
road and never losing sight of his
employers interests, with the train
ing of a practical railroad man of
many years experience in all its
branches, from a track hand to con
ductor, are evidences that his ser
vices will be sadly missed by all.
It is rumored that he will be simi
larly engaged in the South.
ESTELLA. »
The Fair at Forksville lias come
and gone. The attendance the first
day was very small but the morning
of the second day was more favor
able as the rain had ceased falling.
Though cloudy and muddy great
throngs of people at an early hour
were seen wending their way to
ward the little city in the valley,
and by ten o'clock to judge by the
crowd one would say the Sullivan
County Fair was a success. The 'trd
day also was well attended.. The
New Albany Hand discoursed the
best music that the Fair ever had.
On last Wednesday at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Webster, their

MVNCY VALLEY.
It is with regret that the people of
Muncy Valley and tributary thereto,
learn of the resignation of Conductor
11. L. Edkin, who has had charge of
the W. A North Branch passenger
train for several years. The patrons
of the road and traveling public gen
erally speaking, will miss Mr. Ed
kin. His kind and courteous treat
ment to all patrons of the road won
for him a deserved popularity. Har
ley has been an ideal passenger con
ductor, and many good wishes fol
low him to his new field of labor.
Scouten has been very unfortunate
lin his attacks on the Republican
| ticket this fall. First he "pitched"
into the Union Tanning Co. and said
they would do all sorts of bad things
if Biggar and Hoffman were elected,
because Mr. Biggar had a blacksmith
shop at Muncy Valley and Mr. Hoff
man a store at Hillsgrove. The Un
ion Tanning Co. were such hud, bold
men that a Republican candidate
could not live in the neighborhood
of a tannery without being the crea
ture of the corporation. Scouten
sung that song in his loudest bray s
and the Gazette chimed in "me
to."
Well it appears now that the dem
ocratic candidate for member, when
in tiio legislature last session, voted
directly in the Union Tanning, Co.'s
interest on the bill fur polluting the
streams with ftlth. If that bill had
passed the Union Tanning Co. could
not let their Sewerage of decompos
ed tlesh etc. flow directly into the
streams. To prevent this nasty
stuff mingling with the waters would
be a good thing for the health of our
people and they wish such a law
passed. But Rogers voted against
it. He does not live near a tannery
but the Uning Tanning Co. evident
ly knew where to find liim. We
have no fault tofind with the Tan
ning Co.. It is their business to get
till they can. What we do find fault
with is that Rogers let himself be
controlled by the desires of the Tan
ning Co. and not by the desires of
the people of Sullivan county.
Again if appears that none of the
present Board of Commissioners live
near a tannery, yet when the assess
ors valued timber lands at #2O per
acre and that amount was agreed up
on by the commissioners, the L'nion
Tanning Co. found out a way to get
the valuation reduced to sl2 per
acre. So Scouten's attacks on the
Tanning Co. till come home to him
and his candidates.
Next he yelled "Quayism" "boss
ism," "bribery," "boodle" in a gen
eral way as if there were no honest
Republicans. He had a good deal to
say about the bill for rapid transit
in Philadelphia. It was"the most
villianous legislation ever passed in
this country." It was Mat Quay's
bill, a boodle bill and all that.
However that may be it is found
that while Rogers was originally op
posed to the bill and voted along
with Creasy, Dixon and other Dem
ocrats in favor of killing the bill by
amendments, he suddenly changed
his mind and voted against all the
other amendments and in favor of
passing that bill as well as the com
panion bill. Now this sudden
change took place after the second
and before the fourth amendment
had been voted on. Rogers was out
of the House when the third ainen
ment was voted on. He must have
seen some one. He conies back and
is thereafter found voting for the
bill. Now it is publicly charged that
money was used to pass this bill.
It cert tinly is up to Rogers or Scout
en to explain this vote and tell us
who was seen and what was done.
Scouten's only excuse so far is that
if Rogers did take orders from "old
Mat Quay" to vote for bad legisla
tion the Republicans ought to be
glad and vote for Rogers. But Scout
en is mistaken if he thinks Republi
cans (or tiny honest Democrat or Pro
hibitionest either) wants to send a
man to llarrisburg who will take or
ders or cash to vote for bad legisla
tion. Albert Dyer will not. You
will not find him changing his mind
on a boodle bill and voting along
with the boodlers. We might ex
tend this article but enough has
been written to open the eyes of ev
ery voter who really wants good
true men in office and to show
Scouten's roosters have come home
to roost.
Mi-. Frederick F. Fleischut, who
was at one time a resident of La
porte, died at his late home in To
wanda, on Tuesday, Oct. 7, from a
sudden stroke of paralysis brought
on by an injury of the spine, which
he received two week ago from a
fall while picking apples in his or
chard.
His remains were brought to this
place Thursday on the morning
train and funeral services were
. held in the M. E, Church by the
pastor, Rev. 8, B. Bidlack. Mr.
Fleiscliute leaves one son, a broth
er and three sisters, one of them
being Mrs. F. M. Crossley of this
place, to mourn their loss. De
ceased was born March 4, 1854.
Interment was made in the family
Jot iu Mountain Ash cemetery.
