Judge Kunkel,of the Dauphin county court, on Monday handed down a de- cision in the dispute over the right to the use of the Lincoln party column by | already on file. day over the nomination for the county | office of sheriff. The so-called ‘“Mor- ris”? convention indorsed the nomi nation of William H. Strauss, the Democratic candidate, but the commis- gioners declined to file the certificate because a certificate for that office was Mandamus proceed- ings were instituted and a hearing begun before Judge Bell, to whom the matter had been referred by Judge | O'Connor. Judge Bell, however, said he would not render a decision until Judge Kunkel had acted, as the cases were identical, and he would follow | the precedent set by the Dauphin M county jurist. | Voters of Pennsylvania will have 12 party squares on the official ballot from | which to make their choice for gov- ernor and other state offices at the November election.

H. rival candidates for the state legisla- ture in this district. He finds against Edmund James and Alvin Sherbine, the regular nominees of the 'Republi- can party, who had also been indorsed by an alleged Lincoln party convention held at Ebensburg last May, and for whom nomination papers had also been filed, and finds in favor of the certifi- cates of nomination forwarded by the officers of another alleged Lincoln party convention, held at Ebensburg on the 20th of September, presided over by William H. Morris, when David Irvin, of Hastings, and Edward Fisher, of South Fork, the candidates of the miners, or Working Class party, were put in nomination for the same office. The full text of the opinion follows: “The persons who made these nomi- ‘ nations (James and Sherbine) have not fulfilled the requirements of the law entitling them to nominate by certifi- cate of nomination; nor do they pre- tend to have any relation to the Lincoln party of the state, which is entitled to make nominations by certificate of of- fice to be voted for in the entire state. They have, on the other hand, in mak- ing the nominations, acted entirely in- dependent of that party and its rules. In addition to this, it has been shown that the nominations for the same of- fice for which nominations are here made have been made by others who have been recognized in this particular district and who have acted in accord- ance with the rules of that party. “Inder this state of facts, it is mani- fest that the persons who made and caused to be certified these nomina- tions have nothing upon 'which to found the right to nominate by certifi- cate or to certify nominations in the name of the Lincoln party. The cer- tificate of nomination, therefore, of Edmund James and Alvin Sherbine as the candidates of the Lincoln party for representative in the general assembly of the state from the second represent- ative district in the county of Cambria | is adjudged to be invalid, and the pro- thonotary is directed to certify this judgment to the secretary of the com- monwealth.”’ The aboye opinion, besides settling the matter of Lincoln party legislative candidates, will also indirectly dispose of the contest in which argument was started before Judge Bell last Satur- MORTUARY. Loved Ones Who Have Been Called to the Other Shore, Mrs. Katharine O'Hara Nagle, the wife of T. N. Nagle, died at her home in this place Sunday morning at 10 minutes after 4 o'clock of gastric diabetes.

They | | before Justice of the Peace | in the sum of $300 | gave Rhody, of Ashville, for their appearance at a hearing Sat- urday evening at 7 o’clock.

The information states that they | have not done this, hence the suit. The Major Was There. In its account of the soldiers’ reun- ion at Ebensburg Wednesday the Johnstown Democrat said: ‘Major Bell, of Patton, resplendent with a tenor dram, marched about over town | side by side with Jared Laughner, of | Bradenville. These two old vets seemed | like two school boys together. Side by | side they marched in battle, Major | Bell with his drum and Jared Laugh- ner as fifer. To-day was a revival of the old days to these two. They laughed and swapped jokes gleefully | when not occupied with their mus- sical instruments. As they were about together over town they were halted every few rods by groups of enthusi- asts who compelled them to rattle off the old-time tunes rendered on the battlefield.” Catholic Rectory at Dudley Improved. Monday of this week Wm. H. Long, of Huntingdon, completed a $1,000 job for the Rev. Father McKenna, rector of Immaculate Conception church at Dud- ley. A hot water plant has been in-| stalled in the rectory, also a bath room with latest and most improved conven- iences. A hydraulic rife ram furnishes the water. Altogether the rectory is now the most commodious residence within many miles of Dudley. Much | credit is due Messrs. Chas J. Ergler fitters, for the efficient manner in| which they have done their work.— Huntingdon New Era. No Reduction to Clergy.
