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Congress, had withdrawn from tho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 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.

open in the afternoon from two to

The Association is happy to an
nounoe that there are funis to do

that the people of the town should
manifest both by contributions and

be cordially welcomed, and it is

MILFORD P0ST0FFICE BURGLARIZED.
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.
