CAI.L FOR DEMOCRATIC COUNTY COM
MITTEF,.
To the members of the Demooratic County Com
mittee.
uknti.kmkn : There seems to be a prevailing
opinion among Democrats that a change should
be made In our system ot nominating candidates
for offices. It Is urged that the present system
lias damaged the party In the county, and a like
result has followed its adoption In all other
•ountles where It prevailed. I have been re
peatedly urged by prominent Democrats
i brougliout the county, who have no other In
terest In the mutter than the good of the party,
to call the County committee together tor the
purpose of considering the propriety ot retaining
the present,or adopting the old style delegate sys
tem or increased delegate system. Therefore, I
will ask what deems a public demand, That, the
members ot the Democratic committee meet at
ike Armory Hall, In Ebonsburg on Monday the
Mth day ot February 1800, at S o'clock r. H , for
•be purpose of deliberating on this and other
matters of interest to the party. I would
further suggest that each member of the com
mitter consult his constituents on the the sub
ject so that any action taken by the committee
would lie endorsed bv tbe party.

Ol K CITY TICKET.
The Democratic City Ticket is worthy
the support of every good citizen. The
nomiuees are all well-known in this com
munity and their ability and fitness to fill
the various offices for which they have
been named will not be questioned. So
far as ability to properly administer the
affairs of the new city is concerned there
can he no comparison made with the
Republican! ticket, but what will be to
tlie advantage and credit of the Demo
cratic candidates. Nearly all the nom
inees have had considerable experience in
municipal matters, and in the positions of
frust and iniportance.they.havc filled, they
have acted with such marked ability that
they have reflected credit upon the mu
nicipalities they have served as well as
upon themselves.
These city and home officers are of more
importance to the people and the tax
payers generally than county and State
officers are. The Mayor of the city,
the members of Select and Common
Councils, and School Controller, All places
and direct matters that concern us more
closely, and have more influence on our
prosperity and comfort as individuals or
citizens, than the actions of a Congress
man or a Governor. Therefore it is good
sense an 1 judgment to elect men who
will administer the law fairly and justly,
without regard to possition or place, and
in the interests of all the people.
We believe the Democratic nominees
artf so situated that they will be more able
to do the most good to the greatest num
ber. That in the administration of the
new city government they will be able to
act impartially to all interests, and that all
l>ortions of the new city will be treated
with the consideration and attention they
are justly entitled to.
The candidates are for Mayor W. Horace
Rose ; Treasurer, George C. Miller; Con
troller, John Dowling; Assessors Joseph
Kuntz, Gottleib Bantly, John O'Teolc,
have been nominated in accordance with
Democratic rules, and are worthy to, and
no doubt will, receive every Democratic
vote.
This election is of more tliau ordinary
importance, and on its results will depend
very largely the speedy success of the
new city. The Democracy have presented
candidates who are compcteat to perform
all the duties of their respective positions
with credit to the city. They should be
elected, and if such shall be the result,the
new city will be inaugurated under the
most favorable auspices.
LET CS START RIGHT.
The Democrats of the city of Johns
town should take more than ordinary in
terest in the coming city election.
Aside from the gratification that a party
victory would justly occasion will be the
honor of launching the new city organi
zation and directing it affairs for a term
of years. As citizens wc are all deeply
interested in the prosperity of our com
munity, to which we are bound by the
tragic events of the last year. As sincere
party men we must believe that the prin
ciples and motives which shall control
and direct our actions in the management
of the affairs of tha city will be for the
best interests of all the Our
candidates are all representative men,who
iiave grown up with the commuuitv and
been identified with its progress from
their youth. They are meu who are im
plicitly trusted by their neighbors, and
upon whose judgmeut and discretion all
can sately rely. They know our people,
what they need and what the people can
justly claim as their light. They are
closly identified with the business inter
ests of the individual, at contrasted with
those of the corporations. While believ.
ing with their party that evary interest
should lie treated with fairness and ex
act justice they know that the common
every-day rights of the masses are apt to
bo lost sight of in tne zeal with which
powerful organizations are served, while
the affairs of the people are considered of
secondary importance. All good citizens
should desire that the allcgience of their
public servants should first be given to
the people, and then to organizations
which are generally able to care for them
selves. In the naw city, the people's in
terests will be of first importance. There
will be such a radical change from the
methods and forms heretofore followed in
the different boroughs, that if a wrong
start is made in the new city, if the rights
of the masses are ignored or slighted, it
will fix a vicious system of government
upon us which cannot be shaken off in
many years.
The citizens or j ounstow n should take no
risks in this important matter, but select as
their city officers the men who are above
all things else the representatives of the
people. We believe that the Democratic
nominees are such men, and call upon
our people to support them at the poles
on February 18th.
LOOK TO THE COCNCILW.
The probabilities are favorable 10 the
election of the Democratic City ticket and
the Republicans are bending their energies
to securing a majority in the Councils—
especially in the Select branch. Demo
crats should attend to this part of the or.
ganizafion of the city government. Should
we elect our Mayor he should have the
support ot a friendly Council, more espec
ially the Select branch which has to some
extent at least a negative power over the
city appointments made by the Mayor.
It is ail important that in the outstart
of our new government there should be
perfecMiarmony between the Mayor and
Councils. That will be more certainly
accomplished by selecting witli a Demo
cratic Mayor a Democratic Council. In
that case there will be no mere factious
or partisan opposition to the appoint
ments proposed by the. Mayor for police
men, etc.
If the Mayor is to be held responsible
for the ciiy appointments lie should not
be hampered or controlled in saying who
should be the appointees, and hence the
Council which lias to consent to the selec
tions should be in harmony with the up
pointing power. All our candidates for
Select Council arc good and worthy men,
and should be elected in every Demo
cratic or doubtful ward.
On the Site of the Old Brunswick.
Mr. "William Thomas, who sonic time
ago leased the site of the old Brunswick
Hotel on Washington street, has begun
the erection of a building on a part of the
lot, which he will lease to William Dodson
for hotel purposes.
A BIG PANTHER HUNT,
All the Farmers Turned Out to Vanquish
the Common Enemy,
An exciting panther hunt took place in
Adams county, Illinois, on Saturday,
which resulted in killing a ferocious beast
that has terrorized the people of that
county all winter. The animal was heard
from first in the east portion of Adam s
county, where it was killing lire stock.
An old man narnod Hill says he met it in
a lonely road one night, but the beast
only gave a scream and disappeared.
A short time later Dauiel Voorhees
came to Quincy and said that early one
morning he was attacked in his barn by
a huge wild animal, but alter a short
struggle the beast fled into a neighboring
strip of timber. Voorhees recieved sever
al ugly scratches. The neigborhood be
came alarmed, and many people refused
to leave their homes after night fearing
an attack.
Reports then came from other farmers
that cows, calves, and even horses were
being killed and their bodies mangled by
some unknown animal, and a band of
armed meu hunted for two days recently
in hopfs of killing the animal, but not
until Saturday was this accomplished.
The big panther, for such it proved to be,
was tracked by dogs into a dense thicket
in the Bear Creek country, and it fought
with desperation when closely pressed,
and one or two of the dogs were killed.
A volley from the rifles soon laid the big
cat dead.
For County Treasurer,
It will be noticed elsewhere thai Mr.
C. J. Mayer to-day announces himself as
a candidate for the Democratic nomina
tion for County Treasurer. Mr. Mayer
has long been recognized as an active and
energetic member of the party, having
taken quite a prominent part for many
years iu the political campaigns in this
county. On several occasions he has been
requested to be a candidate of the party,
but has refused to ask for an office, pre
fer! ing to help elect those who have been
nominated. In 1886 lie was made Chair
man of the County Committee, and
proved himself to be the right man in the
right place, as his able direction of that
cntnpaign resulted in the election ot the
whole ticket by a large majority. He
tilled several offices of trust and import
ance to the entire satisfaction of those in
terested, and in every position he has oc
cupied he lias shown that he possesses
ability and qualifications of a high order.
Mr. Mayer was born and raised in Johns
town, and has hosts of friends in this city
and in all parts of the county. He would
make a strong candidate, and the Repub
licans would have difficulty in nominating
any one near as popular with the people.
It nominated he would he elected by a
large majority.
A Hrakauian's Nad Death-
Huntingdon Local News, Tuesday.
Another accident, resulting iu the death
of a brakeman, occurred a short distance
east of this place about 3:30 o'clock this
morning. J. A. Rhodes was the name of
the unfortunate man, one of the crew be
longing to Cabin No. 17, on an east bound
freight. Shortly after passing this place
Mr. Rhodes slipped or fell from his train,
and received fatal injuries, his left arm
being crushed from the elbow down, left
thigh crushed at the hips, right leg
broken and head badly cut. He was dis
covered snortiy afterwards by the engin
eer of a west bound train and brought to
this place, and although medical attend
ance was promptly given him be was un
able to survive, and death ensued about
5:80 A. M. When brought here be was
yet able to talk, and gave his name and
residence, also exonerated the Railroad
Company from any liability for his acci
dent, alleging it was due to his own care
lessness. His residence was at Maryaville,
Fa., and his remains will he forwarded to
his late home sometime to-day.
. Killed Hit Son and Daughter.
Saturday night a terrible double tragedy
occured at Miami, Manitoba. John Mor
ton and his wife, aged 53 and 54 years,
were shot in cold blood by Morton's fath
er, aged 75, who was residing with them.
John Morton was absent from his home
Saturday, and during his absence the old
man and Mrs. Morton had some angry
words, which ended by Morton striking
his daughter-in-law with a piece of wood.
On the son's return lie rebuked the old
man for his action, whereupon the old
man said : " I)o you see that rifle ? I
want you to fake it down aud shoot me
or I will shoot you." The son paid no
attention to this remark, going into anoth
er room. The old mau then took down
the rifle, went outside and fired through
the window, instantly killing his son, the
bullet entering the heart. The hired man
ran to the neighbor for assistance and
during his absence Mrs. Morton was shot
in the abdomen by Morton. She only
lived for an hour. The old man docs not
deny the crime, ami says lie did it in
tentionally.

RESURRECTED HIMSELF.
A Man Who Refused to be Buried Alive.
San Francisco Chronicle.
John Ueany, a shipright, residing at 536
Third street, has for a week past stirred
up much excitement among the residents
of Lower Third street by the repeated re
cital of a most remarkable tale of how he
narrowly escaped being buried alive. He
claims that he was taken to the County
Hospital on January 15, and that after
having been in that institution for only a
few hours he was believed by the attend
ants to be dead. He goes on to describe
graphically hew he was put into a
wooden box and carted to the undertak
ing establishment of Craig, Cochrane &
Company, on Mint avenue, where he says
he was prepared ot interment and lay IU
a cotfin all night ready tor his funeral,
which was to take place at 3 P. M. the
next day.
There is uo doubt that the mau believes
the story he tells himself, aud that lie is
laboring a most remarkable hallu
cination. He related tlio alleged circum
stances to a Chronicle reporter yesterday,
and added that he was conscious of what
was going on all the time, but could uot
stir nor speak a word from the time he
was carried out of the hospital until just
before the pall-hearers were about to lift
the casket into the hearse, when his vital
powers suddenly returned and lie man
aged with a supreme effort to burst open
the coffin lid, thereby demonstrating to his
assembled ftiends that he was no corpse.
As a matter of fact Heany has not been
to the County Hospital, was not ill, and
the whole story is the product of an over,
excited imagination, superinduced by a
long spree, for the man is known to have
been a hard drinker for a long time. His
friends say that although Heany is at
work now at his trade, il he insists in
this crazy manner, they will have him up
before the Insanity Commissioners, as
tlicy believe hint to be entirely out of his
mind.
The sincere manner in which the man
tells his romance has, however, caused
many to believe iu the truth of his state
ments, and he is the hero of many a bar
room and street corner circle iu that
neighborhood just new.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Feb. B,' 1890'.
'to i iiu Haitiir of tli? Johnntoicn Democrat.
Ex-Speaker Carlisle is the hero
of the hour in the Democratic
circles, for the able manner in :
which he has compelled the majority of
the House Committee on Rules to act in j
reporting the code of Rules sooner than !
they had intended The new Rules are
about as one-sided and pnfuir to the mi
nority as they could well be, and give
Speaker Reed almost as much autnority
as he has exercised without them. ll •
took seven hours to get a majority vole in
their favor from the Republican caucus, ,
and from all accounts the discussion was
at times extremely bitter. A Democratic |
caucus also considered the Rules reported,
and although they regard them as so j
many gag-laws, it was decided that if the
Republicans would allow a reasonable
time for their debate, so that their injus
tice might be shown to the country, no
unusual obstacles would be interposed by
the Democrats to prevent their adoption by
the majority, as tlicyo nly wish to put
themselves ou record as protesting against
their adoption.
Economical men in Congress were sur
prised to learn from a speech of Senator
Morrill's that owing to the over crowded
condition of the public buildings in Wash
ington 4)131,700 a year is spent by the
Government to rent private buildings.
The buildings that are worst off are the
White House, the Patent Office, Postofflt e
and Government Printing Office. The
last named is in a deplorable condition,
looked at from every standpoint. It is
old. and its walls are in a dangerous con
dition ; it is unhealthy and is in constant
danger from fire. There is a prettty gen
eral agreement that it will be cheaper to
erect the necessary buildings than to pay
such a large amount for rents. Early ac
tion is expected in Congress to relieve
this unsatisfactory slate of affairs.
The Republicans of the House did not
dare to seat Smith, of West Virginia until
they had a legal quorum of their own
members present to vote him in. Had
they done otherwise the Supreme Court
would probably have been given an op
port unity to pass on the constitutionality
of Mr. Heed's ruling in the matter of a
quorum ot the House. The fact that the
Republicans waited until they had a quo
rum present to take the decisive vole
shows how little confidence they have in
the legal status of Mr. Reed's rulings.
A gloom has begn spread over official
and social life in Washington" owing to
the deaths in the Cabinet circle. Sunday
morning Secretary Blaine's daughter died,
and Monday morning Secretary Tracy's
residence was destroyed by fire, the lives
of his wife and daughter lust, and himself
brought out in'nn unconscious condition
by the firemen. The funeral of Mrs. and
Miss Tracy was held in the East room at
the White House on Wednesday, and a
more affecting scene lias never been wit
nessed here.
Representative MuUshler, of Peunsyl
vania, who is one •( tlie shrewdest Dem
ocrats in the House, says : •' Reed's rul
ings have made it a certainty that the
Democrats will have a good working ma
jority in the next House."
Tlie United States Supreme Court nas de
cided that the test-oath clause in the con
stitution of Idaho is constitutional.
The Blair educational bill, which is be
ginning to look hoary, was taken up this
week in the Senate and it may get through
the House, hut it is doubtful.
Another re-rated pension office official
—First Dfputy Commissioner Hiram
Smith—has gone. When asked for his
resignation he sent it in, and thereby se
cured an extra month's pay, the resigna
tion being accepted to take effect March
sth, and he ha* been given leave of ab
sence to that date. He was appointed last
March.
Considerable excitement was created
Wednesday by the news that ex-Speaker
Randall was much worse. Mr. Randall
baa been so deeply interested in the fight
in House that lie has overtasked his brain
thinking of it in order to make sugges
tions to the Democratic leaders, and it
has had a bad effect upon his health.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate to admit New Mexico. An attempt
was made to have the Senate pass the bill
providing for the organization of Okla
homa Territory this week, but it failed,
not because of opposition, but because
precedence was claimed for the Blair edu
cational bill.
The Ohio ballot-box forgery investiga
tion was resumed this week. Among the
most interesting witnesses were Governor
Campbell and Murat Halsteud. Ex-Gov
ernor Foraker attends every session of the
Committee, and seems to fully realize Hint
lie is on trial.
Mr. Harrison did not attend the Supreme
Court Centennial in New York on ac
