IART W Tl A Consternation Among the Demo crats of the Eighth District. CLAIMS OF BETRAY At MADE Republicans Confident of the Election of Ex-Attorney General Kirkpatrick Objections to lie Filed to Barber's Nomination. There was a sensation when tho news was received, tnat vongress man Joseph J. Hart, candidate for Congress, had withdrawn from tho contest in the interest of harmony. The news dumfoundod the Monroe county leaders who were not aware of the fact that Hart even contem. plated withdrawing. It was gener ally supposed that Hart was fn the fight to stay, and his nomination papers were largely signed in that county and other parts of the dis trict. The Democratic loaders are in a state of great excitement, and claim to have been betrayed by Hart, while the Republican loaders are serene, and confidently expect to carry the district. There appears to be no possibility of Barber's election, as he will be cut in Monroe and Pike very largely, and cannot possibly carry his own county. Monroe County Domocrats will not be reconciled to the candidacy of Laird H. Barber.of Carbon county, and there is a strong possibility that even Monroe will bo found in the Kirkpatrick column this .fall. The Republicans are enthusiastic over the prospect of Kirkpatrick's elec tion, and believe him a sure winner. Monroe will file objections to the nomination of Laird H. Barber. The Milford Schools.

"The Biters Kitten." , The story is told how Tom Quick was one day splitting rails when he was surrougdod by a number of red skin warriors who were more than anxious to make his intimate ac quaintance and enjoy his society, They invited him to a ramble in the woods, to which he agreed provided they would help him split the log, and forthwith they thrust their fin ger in the split while Tom drove the wedge out thus fastening the whole lot, when he leisurely killed them. History will repeat italf , and by the squeals which now rend the azure it seems as if Mr. Hart as the wedge was knocked out and his con ferrees, well they would slat their fingers if they only were loose. Borne people are mean enough to hint that it did not take a very large maul to do the business anyway, but it is dollars to doughnuts that the same parties who held the handle two years ago do not hold the ntub thib time. The aggregation of S. s. K. e. and Wi can now stand up and enquire where they are at. Gentle men we are ready to hear you. HERMAN PAUL SCHULZ. A Warrant Isnued for His Arrent on a Charge of Murder. A Requisition Will B Asked For. Another chapter In the history of tho mysterious death of the woman st Bhohola was begun lust Monday when Charles Edmund Bchnlss, a son of the accused man and the dead woman, made a complaint of mur der against bis father. Upon this William Angle, Esq., issued a war rant which was duly returned de fendant not found. This action is meroly preliminary in order to found a request to the Governor for a requisition for the accused man. When the matter was pre sented to the County Commissioners on Monday, although the law clearly defines their duties and pre scribes what bills shall be paid out of county funds, yet to demonstrate that the county is not so parsimoni ous as she has been pictured and to express tho views of those in con trol of her funds and in order that thore might bo no cavilling as to where the rosponslbilily for ferret ing out crime rests, they with com mendable alacrity passed the follow ing resolution : We. the Commissioners of the County of Pike are in favor of the full and vigorous enforcement of all the criminal laws, in this county, to the end that all crimes perpetrated within the county shall be detected and the guilty punished, and we further call upon and demand that the proper officers having in charge the enforcement of such laws shall perform their full duty. That all proper costs and charges in such prosecution will be fully and promptly paid for by said County of inko as soon as can be legally done. I WALLACE NEWM AN, Signed, James H. Heller, f A. S. Dinoman. Oct. 5, 1895." An autopsy has been held to as certain whether the bullet which in flicted the fatal injury was of the same calibre as the pistol found in ljor hand, which it is claimed, be longed to her husband. No doubt the investigation will be carefully and thoroughly made with a view to ascertain whether it is a case of murder or suicide. While the facts so far as ascertained look dark for Schulz it is only fair that judgment be withheld and that the public niind should not be influenced or poisoned by stories which may or may not be true. The Common wealth seeks only to convict the guilty of crime, and over-zoalous- ness and attempts to prejudice popu lar opinion is as much to be deplored as a want of zeal to properly ferret out the true state of the case. The action of the Coroner's jury was ap. parently a travesty on the face of it, and had the persons composing it been guided by a deliberate de sire to ascertain the real facts and render a verdict accordingly the pre sent situation might have been very different, and our county preserved from much odium . Our people are, as a rule, law- abiding, and the resolution passed by the Commissioners, which will receive the hearty commondation of all our citizens, demonstrates that there is no unwillingness or grudg ing of what is proper, on the part of those officials, in order that a fair investigation may be made where thore appears to be a probability of a crime have been committed. Let all those whose duty it is to parti cipate in tho administration of our criminal law be equally prompt to act, and in so intelligent a manner, and we will hear less, and perhaps, deserve less of criticism which tends to place onr county in an unenviable position regarding crime and crimi nals.

Safe Wrecked and Windows Blown out by the Kxplnnlon. No Cash and Only About One-Hnndrsd Dollars In Stamps was the Reward of tlis Robbers. Several persons residing near the Postoflioe were aroused last Sunday morning about three o'clock by a heavy report, and the sound of breaking glass. Some arose and went out peering in the darkness but seeing no one, and finding no cause, retired. Daylight disclosed that the Postoffice had been broken into. The robbers had forced open the door on the Harford street side, bursting off two heavy locks. Once inside a blow from a sledge hammer which had been obtained from the shop of Wm. Angle, and the same which had done duty on a similar occasion about a year ago, broke the handle of the safe, but the rascals for some reason abandoned their former methods and drilled a hole In the top of the safe through the lining and into a shoet iron box or drawer. Into this nitro glycerine was poured, and evidently a large quantity for the explosion which followed threw the door several feet breaking a large hole in a partition and making a deep indentation in a door jamb. All the windows in the room were shattered and the mail bogs with which the safe had been covered were scattered over the floor A small punch bearing the ini tials "J. F. K." was found in the room. No letters were taken ana apparently nothing in the office was disturbed but the safe which contained about..,- fifty dollars worth of stamps, and which the robbers took. Some cancelled money orders in the safo were dis troyed and it appeared as though some of its contents wore burned. Tho partios had taken the precau tion to- extinguish the street lamps in the vicinity and had also unlocked the front door of the office. From the gonoral similarity of the job to that of last year and the fact that the same sledge was used and ob tained in the same manner it would seem probable that at least some of the same exports were engaged in both robberies. Notice to Patrons. We, the undersigned business injn of the Borough of Milford agree to close our respective places of business at eight o'clock in the even ing on and aftor Oct. 15, 1896, ex cepting during holiday week and Saturday evenings.
