UNANIMOUS FOR

The Ex-Attorney General Nomi
nated in the Eighth District.
REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT.
The Split Among the Democrats of the
District Makes the Nominee's
Flection a Certainty,
Easton, Sept. 28. The Republi
can conference of the Eighth Con
gressional District was held this af
ternoon in this city, and unanim
ously chose ex-Attorney General W.
S. Kirkpatrick as the nominoe for
Congress. The conferreos present
were : Northampton, R. C. Stewart
and H. D. Maxwell, Boston j C. F.
Brown, South Bethlehem ; Baxtor
B. McClure, Ejst Allen; A. C.
Prince, Bethlehem ; Willis Howell,
Lower Mt. Bothol j C. B. Camden,

liet, Lehighton ; L. L. Finley, Sum
mit Hill ; E. F. Soitz, Bowmons
town j Monroe, Dr. T. C. Walton,
Strondsburg ; Pike, Ebenezor War
ner, Milford. There were a num
ber of Republicans from Monroe and
Carbon, as well as Northampton,
present. Hon. Ebenezor Warner
was selected as chairman ; Dr. Wal
ton, of Stroudsburg, and Dr. Kirby,
of Mauch Chunk, were the secre
taries. Ex-District Attorney Stewart, of
Northampton, nominated Mr. Kirk
patrick. He was sent for, and on
appearing before the conference was
notified of its action. In a short
speech ho exprossed his thanks to'
the conference. All the conferroes
expressod the belief that tho out
look could not possibly be more fav
orable to Judge Kirkpatrick's elec
tion. The Democrats of this district are
hojiolessly divided and two candi
dates have been nominated, Hon. J.
J. Hart, the present Congressman,
was backed by Monroe and Pike
counties, and Northampton and
Carbon selected another candidate
of their own. This division of the
muddled Bryanites makes the Eighth
District absolutely sure for Kirk
patrick. Noticb. The annual meeting of
the Stockholders of tho Forest Lake
Association for the purpose of elect
ing officers and transacting such
other business as may properly be
presented, will be hold at the club
house of the association in Lacka

OBITUARY.
MRS. AMERIOU8 D. FRISBIE.
Etta, wife of Amoricus D. Frisbio,
of Greene diod Thursday, Sopt. 24
at her home in that township aged
about twenty nine years. She was
the eldest daughter of Silas J. Dick
erson and is survived by her hus
band and three children the eldest
being only Ave years and the young
est an infant. She was a most es
timable woman, and her loss is not
only a sad bereavement to her de
voted husband, but irreparable to
the little children left at such ten
der years without the loving care
and gentle guidance which only a
mother's hand and heart can be
stow. The funeral took place at
Hemlock Grove Church on Sunday,
conducted by the Rev. Boyce, and
the large concourse of people pre
sent attested the respect and esteem
in which she was held, and also the
heartfelt sorrow at her untimely
death.
. MISS MARY FRIKH
1 Miss Mary Frieh aged about forty
years died at Newport, R. I., Mon
day evening of Heart failure and
her remains were brought to Mil
ford Wednesday for interment. Her
aged father. Joseph Frieh, of Milford
one sister, Theresa, of Newport,
four brothers, Xavier, Alphonse and
Philip of Boston and Geo. A. of Mil
ford survive her. Brief services
were hold here by Rev. Father Tries
of St. Patrick's Church.
Ratification Parade.
No one but "Si," the assistant
editor of our Bryan cotemporary,
could so successfully and unblushing
ly engineer a ridiculous forno and be
proud of it, as that which appeared
on our streets last Friday evening,
as a presumable parade in honor of
his chief's one-legged renominotion
to Congress. "Si" had so inflated
himself with enthusiasm that a base
drum rested comfortably on his
windy protuberance, as with marti
al air and military mien he headed
a procession of a dozen boys between
the ages of 6 and 14 years one of
whom carried a transparency with
the legend "Harts majority 23,000"
more or loss. The Congressman was
visited at his home by this inspiring
array of embryonic voters, that is
they may be voters some years
hence if Domocratio parados pea
nuts colic and other things, do not
bring thorn to an untimely and
inglorious end. The childish jam
boree wound up in a back alloy
around a beer keg over which two
guz.ling adults zealously presided.
The above are cold facts, and thoy
show the spontaneity and uproari
ous unanimity with which our citi
zens attach themsolves to the fast
fading glory of their highly respect
ed and worthy member from the
Eighth. Tho parode as a whole was
a fit subject to be soundly spanked
and put to bed after supper, and fit
tingly symbolized the dignified per
formances of the coterie of political
gamesters who ployed Mr. Hart ias
a pawn on their dismantled chess
board.
- A Pleasant Journey.
Mr. Honry C. Bowen, of Lehman
who has been suffering for some
time with blood poisoning arising
from a severe bite on his hand re
ceived while separating two fight
ing dogs, has with his wife gone to
Philadelphia and will enter an in
stitution there to receive massage
treatment. While his hand is prac
t'cally healed yot it is not froe from
stiffness and aftor a sojourn thore,
he will go to the soa shore for a
time and will, afterward take a trip
to Brazil on a line of steamers con
trolled by his nephew, Mr. Bolton.
He has our best wishes and hopes
that his health which has been con
siderably impaired by bis long suf
fering will bo wholly restored.
McKlnley and Hobart Club.
A large attendance gratified the
young men who took the initiative
steps towards tho formation of this
club, last Friday evening, and after
being called to order, W. A. H. Mit
chell was unanimously elected Pre
sident ; John C. Warner, Vice Pre
sident ; Leroy E. Kipp, secretary,
and W. Ta Strublo Treasurer. An
executive committee was also ap
pointed. The club starts under
very auspicious circumstances, and
with a large list of of members.
A Jersey man In Llrabo.
Brewster who resides just across
the river in Montogue was arrested
here on Tuesday by Fish Warden
Van Gordon and his assistant, for
maintaining an eol weir in the Dela
ware, and in default of bail was
locked up. There appears to be a
wonderful facination in obtaining
fish contrary to law. Whether the
statutes prohibiting weirs are
just, reasonable or equitable, is a
question which may be discussed
without harm, but that any one so
long as they are in force would bo so
foolhardy as to take the chances of
a heavy fine or imprisonment de
monstrates that some men are more
fish hungry than wise.
Swindled Out of Eighty-Five Dollars.
A shrewd swindler giving the

MILFORD, HKE COUNTY, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1896.
A DEMOCRATIC HARMONY
The Eighth Congressional Dis
trict Divided.
Two Free Sliver Itemocrattc OsmlMntei.
Named at the StroudRbnrg Convention,
and lloth Expect, of C'nnrne, to IV
Elected.
An air of mellowness pervaded tho
cbnferrees gathered Sept. 24, at
Stroudsburg, to placo in nomination
a candidate for this district, which
was only the percursor of a storm
soon to break nnd with cyclonic
fury rend the conference in twain.
After all the conferees had nssem
bled but before any organization
was effected the ball was opened by
the presentation of the following re
solution, by the well-known Demo
cratic loader, ex-collector of Rev
enue, Charles B. Staples, Esq., who
was one of ex-Senator Shnll's cou
forrees from Monroe :
"To the Democratic Congressional
conferreos of Carbon county and
the Democratic Congressional con
ferroes of Northampton county :
We, tho undersigned Democratic
Congressional conferroes of Monroe
county, at the instance and request
of the majority ot Democratic voters
of said county, before entering into
or taking part in the Democratic
Congressional ooiueronco, to be held
for tlio Eighth District of Pennsyl
vania, on this day, believing that
tho representation of Northampton
county in previous Domocratio Con
gressional conferences, under .the
present apportionment, has been n:i-
lust and unfair to other counties,
and has given to Northampton a
power to control the Congressional
nominations, make tho following
demand : ,
"First Representation Jx No'tlu
ampton county in said conferences
be reduced from five to threo.
Second That in accordance with
time-honored custom of the district,
Joseph J. Hart be given the Domo
cratio nomination for his second
term. (Signed)
"L. Wkstbrook,
"C. B. Staples,
"Georoe H. Rhodes,
"Conferroes of Monroe Co.
Wo, tho Democratic Congres
sional Conferroes of Pike connty,
concur in the above demand.
(Signed,) "J. B. Wkstbrook,
'Geo. A. Swepniser,
"A. G. Rowland."
A suggestion was made that be
fore proceeding to consider tho re
solution some organization should
be made, and it was also objectod
that the resolution practically named
the candidate in advance of any ac
tion, and the Northampton and
Carbon conferroes insisted on pro
ceeding in regular order. There
upon the Pike and Monroe confer
roes arose and loft the room and
convened in an adjoining porlor.
C. L. Hemingway thon called the
Northampton-Carbon conferees to
order, and Frank P. Sharkey, of
Mauch Chunk, wan elected presi
dent, James T. Woodring, of North -ampton,
and G. W. Mortimer, of
Carbon, secretaries. Mortimer in a
short speech nominatod Laird n.
Barber, who received tho entire
votes of that part of tho conference
and was duly declared the nominoe.
This resolution was then adopted :
"Resolved, That this is the sense
of this Congressional conference
that the Democratic party in this
district be expected and is hereby
instructed to support the candidate
of the Democratic party for Presi
dent and Vice-Prosidont nominatod
at Chicago and L. H. Barber the
nominoe of Carbon, and when
elected, to support in Congress the
principles enunciated in the Chicago
platform.
H. C. Twombler, of Easton, and
Dr. Stout, of . Bethlehem, were ap
pointed a committee to notify the
candidute. Air. iSiiruer rosponiioii
with a short speech, in which he de
clared he would support the Chicago
platform and thanked the conferroes
for the honor bestowed upon mm.
The conference adjourned' after
the following resolutions were adop
ted: "Resolved, that when this con
ference adjourns it is to meet again
at some time in the futuro at the
American Hotel, Mauch Chunch."
In the' meantime the Monroe and
Pike conferroes had organized by
electing Charles B. Staples, of Mon
roe, President and Geo. A. Swopom
ser, of Pike, Secretary.
Joseph J. Hart was at once nomi
nated by Lafayette Westbrook. the
motion being seconded by Vr. uoo
II. Rhodes, of Tobyhanna. The
nomination was made by acclama
tion, followed by groat ti-iring,
The conference then adjourned to
meet at the call of Chairman Stap
les. At the close of the Hart con
vention, the Monroe and Pike sup
porters gave three more loud cheers
for the Pike County Congressman.
The certificates of nomination of
tho respective candidates were im
mediately forwarded by messengers
to Harrisburg to be filed with the
Secretary of the Commonwealth,
and it is learned that the one of Mr.
Hurt was the first filed, and that in
addition to it a nomination by nomi
nation papers will be made, thus en
suring him a place on the ticket
should a decision of the Courts as to
tho regularity of his certificate be
adverse to its validity.

that city Oct. 7. An invitation is
extended to wheelmen of other
plnces as it is desired to make the
display as fine as possible. Fare for
round trip will bo one way fare, on
tho Erie.
The Philadelphia Press editori
ally speaking of the situation in the
Eighth district pays our present
Congressman a compliment in this
plain language,. "Few men less fit
to represent an intelligent constitu
ency than Congressman Hart ever
got into the House from this great
State."
Capt. L. Westbrook, whose ac
tion, in regard to the effort made by
citizens oi Pike while ne was repre
sentative from this County, to com
pel the rebuilding of the bridge at
Matamoras which had been avoided
by Jim Fisk's shrewd manipulation,
is still so rank an odor in the nostrils
of our people, that self acting clothes
pins ore at a premium when ever
his name is mentioned, was a fitting
instrument to aid Monroe in admin
istering her dose to Pike in the
shape of a Hart.
Enjoyed an Outing at Brink Pond.
Dr. Wenner and family, Harry
Terwilligor, and Miss Margaret
Brink enjoyed an outing at Brink
Pond, with the Well's campers last
Friday. Miss Brink, while fishing
in the pond thinking she would not
have any luck at all, but the line
was cutting the water like fury, and
Margaret exclaimed, "I have got
hold of a whalo." It proved to be a
pickerel measuring about 24 inches.
Lost on the road between Gor
don's mill and Travis place Sunday

Mr. Mitchell For Aaaoclat Judge.
Hon. Wm. Mitchell, of Milford,
who was nominated by the Republi
can convention without a dissenting
voice calls attention in another col
umn to his candidacy. That he
would adorn the position, by his
character and qualifications, are so
well known by the people as to need
no emphasis. His location is con
venient and he can always be found
at his place of business when his ser
vices may be required. This fact
alone is a strong argument why
those desiring to aid in the accom
modation of the pnblio should see
that ho receives their support.
HERMAN FAUL SCIIULTZ
Arrested in New York Charged
with Arson on Complaint
of his Son,
The Man Who was I.at Weofc niftrhniiKcd
From Onr Jnll Now ArctiNed of Mnr
derlng His Wife Account of the Ar
rest. The Now York Hornld of Wednes
day X'ontains a long and circumstan
tial a ount of the arrest of Schnltz
who is charged by his nineteen-
year-old son, Charley Edmund
Schnltz with having boon the in
stigator of several fires in his busi
ness places ill New York, and also
with groat cruelty to his wife, throats
that he would kill h or and the di
rect accusation that ho had done so.
Our readers will recall the story in
last week's Press in which . the
strange circumstance of Schnltz be
ing in the room with his wifo when
she was shot at Wohlfarth's House
in Shohola, and claiming not to have
heard tho shot or known of her
death until ho was n roused in tho
morning.tho failure of tho coroner's
jury to find any suspicion against
him, and his discharge from cus
tody, was told.
The Herald also repeats this in
part, and says tho young man knew
nothing of those matters until his
father returned to Now York last
Wednesday, when ho learned of the
sudden and peculiar death of his
mother, and knowing the character
and instincts of his father from long
and bitter experience, ho at onco de
cidod tliat. his father was guilty,
ana, ne says told mm so. to tins
the father reponded with a threat
that frightened both himself and
younger brother so that they have
not dared to roturn homo since, but
went to Shohola where he has since
been investigating the circumstances
surrounding the shooting.
In this ho was aided by a lawyer
of New York, who was at tho house
when the affair occurred. Return
ing to New York the young man
made the convplaint and procured
the arrest ot his father on the
charge of arson.
He alleges that before his father
went to Shohola he called where the
boy works and asked for his wife's
address saying ho had received
money from Germany and wished
to give her some to straighten blat
ters up. The address was refused,
but the father exhibited a roll of tis
sue paper saying it contained money
and this is supposed to be the
money which ho alleges he gave to
his wife but which has not been
found.
The boy further says that before
his father went to Shohola ho called
on a Mrs. Macy, in Brooklyn, and
made this threat, " Mrs. Macy, if
Liz don't come home with me, I'll
shoot her whore she is."
