The Forest Lake Association
contemplate adding an extension to
the Club house 52x50 feet. It 'will
be three stories high and add great
ly to the accommodation of mem
bers. The season has been success
ful and though the membership is
limited by tue by laws, yet there is
not sufficient room to provide com
fortably for the families who wish

. Attempted Robbery.
Early last Sunday morning a ser
vant in the family of Mr. John Carr
who resides in the Mott House on
Broad street, was awakened by the
noise of some one trying to open the
blinds of the iwrlor windows. She
was too frightened to stir or give an
alarm but heard one of the men
whisper he would go and get some
thing to ojion the blinds, and saw
him start down the street. Mean
time one of the party had succeeded
in forcing his hand though the slats
of a blind on one of the front win
dows and opened it thus gaining an
uiitruuce to the parlor, liy tins tune
the girl had recovered her voice and
beinm culling to Mr. Curr who se
cured a revolver and begun investi
eatimrauickly for them. The two
others then bout a busty retreat,
without being seen by hitu.or other
wise there might have leen a free
distribution of lead. The thieves
had no time to carry out any design
at roblmry and do not appear to have
profited by their efforts as nothing
was missed by the family.

MAINE, THE j
STATE OF BLAINE
There was a Landslide, a Cy
clone, a Flood.
Sllverlte Submerged by a Republican
Majority of Over Fifty Thousand. It Is
a Mighty Voice and Will Be Heard
All Over tbe Whole Country.
The Republican plurality in Maine
will probably be over 60,000. Over
82,000 Republican votes, have been
cast ond about 33(000 Democratic.
The Republican vote has exceeded
anything ever before known in that
State, being an increase of nearly 20
por cent over the vote of 1892. This
shows that many Democrats must
have voted against their party while
undoubtedly eighteen to twenty
thousand remained away from the
polls refusing to vote for Bryan and
free silver. Chairman Hanna is
greatly gratified, and Bays the signi
ficance of Maine's immense Repub
lican majority indicates a sweeping
victory for McKinley and Hobart in
November, the triumph of our prin
ciples by a majority sufficiently em
phatic to insure their establishment
and the return of prosperity to our
people.
There is no question ns to the
Enst, and the West must bo made
secure. JNo other state election will
le held before November, and there
is no exact measure of the feeling
hence tho importance of .steady per
sistent work in all States which may
bo classed as doubtful. The tide of
volution and repudiation must be
stemmed and turned back. The
great issue must be decided once for
all by such majorities as will for
ever put an ond to the schemes of
demagogues, agitators and anar
chists who would overthrow the na
tion with its groat fabric of indus
try and invostment.
WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Week Ending Monday September 14, 1896.
General Conditions.
Droughty conditions prevail in
most portions of the State, which
together with the high temperature
of tho past week caused premature
ripening of the fall crops and delay
ed fall seeding. Streams and -wells
are becoming low in many sections.
Most of the corn crop is now in
shock. The yield will be somewhat
above tho average. Buckwheat is
being harvested. While it is large
in straw it has not filled as well as
expected. Tobacco is about all
housed in good condition and is of
good quality. The potato crop is a
large ono. Vegetables, apples, and
grapes are reported as plentiful
No very damaging frosts have yet
oocured.
NOTE. This will be the last
issue of the Crop Bulletin for the
Pennsylvania Section for this sea
son.

Our types were both wrong in be.

last week, which statement may
seem a paradox, but is notwithstand
ing true. If as they read "drunk

000 who have been inactive Demo
crats since the war, and drunken in
the sense that they have been de
ceived with the idea that their party
was immutably fixed on principles,
but who now realiidng their intoxi
cation, huve taken the gold cure and
propose voting with the Republicans.
If us they should have reud Duuk-

A motion was duly made and car.
ried that the convention vote by bal
lot, and William Dusonborry and
John C. Warner were olocted as tel
lers and sworn as such. The chair
man then stated the offices to be
filled and askod for nominations
whereupon Hon. William Mitchell,
of Milford, was nominated for the
office of Associate Judge. No other
name being proaentcd.ho was nomin
ated by acclamation. Aaron Court-
right and Frank Marvin, of West
fall, were nominated for representa
tives, and a ballot being taken, sev
enteen votes appeared for the former
and six for the latter, and Mr.
Courtright was duly declared the
nominee.
For County Treasurer, Charles
Lattimore and C. W. Shannon were
nominated, but Mr. Lattimore with
draw in favor of Mr, Shannon and
he was unanimously selected for the
position.
A motion was then made by Eph.
Kimble that two names be placed in
nomination for County Commis
sioners. This was ably seconded in
spoech by S.- Hopps, of Greene,
but which on a rising vote was lost,
and James M. Bensley, of Lohman,

Greene.
The committee appointed at the
last convention to revise the rules of
the party, never having been called
togother by the chairman, was on
motion continuod, to report la the
future!
The Convention thon adjourned
sine die.
The above ticket it is just to sny
contains elements of great strength
and merits so far as it does the cord'
ial suDoort of every Republican in
the County.
For Judge no better selection
could have been made. Mr. Mitchell
is a successful merchant in Milford
a man of excellent judgement, up
right in character, fearless and de
termined in tho porformnnca of
duty, and fully capable to perform
the duties of the office with judicial
fairness. Ho can always be found
at his pliloe of business ln cose his
services are required, courteous and
obliging to accommodate.
Aaron Courtright the nominee for
Representative is a rosidont of Mata-
moras and a conductor on the Erie.
He Is a man of good attainments irre
proachable character, enorgotic. and
active and would be ever found at
his post of duty, ready and willing
to serve his constituents.
C. W. Shannon, of Lackawaxen,
weU-known to the people of the
county as an unassuming business
man, careful attentive and exact in
method, would make a model trea
surer, and will receive cordial sup
port. The genial Eph. Kimble, of
Palmyra, is Well calculated by edu
cation And habits to fill with entire
satisfaction the dutios of the Pro
thonotary's office, and his presence
there would be hailed with delight
by his many friends, who will work
like beavers to accomplish that end.
James M. Bonsley has boon in of
fice previously as County Commis
sioner. His record as an official is
well-known, and needs no furthor
commont. John C. Wornor is a
young man who would bring to the
office of Auditor a careful and search
ing scrutiny of bills, and who would
so far as might lie in his powor, com
pel economy in tho mnnogement of
county finances On the whole it is
a good selection and the voters will
be enabled at least to have the satis
faction of feeling that they can
choose on it men who will adorn
the stations they are nominated to
fill.
A Youthful Burglar.
Last Sunday as A. W. Balch, Jr.,
was on his way home from Church
he discovered Chai'les Millott a
young boy coming out of a cellar
window of tho store of his father,
A. W. Balch. It was found upon in
vestigation that a number of pocket
knives had boon taken, and the boy
was arrested Monday, and taken be
fore Geo. Geyer, Esq., who demand.
ed bail for his appearance at Court.
The youth was brought to Milford
on a commitment issued to B. C.
Totten Constable, and on arriving
here a writ of Habeas Corpus was
obtained, the prisoner taken before
Judge Mitchell and released on his
father Edward Millott entering in
$500 bail for his appearance at next
term. The youth apparently took
the knives in order that he might
generously supply his needy com
panions with those necessary ad
juncts to boyish happiness. Mr.
Balch has been annoyed with these
depredations frequently of late, this
being the third successful entry
made on his premises during the
past month.
Evil is wrought by want of thought
As woJl as by want of heart.

business to William L. Boyd, who

cupy the premises on Broad street.
We predict for the new proprietor a
