Newlin Fell is a Philadelphian, who stands high in the Quaker City, and is esteemed as a man of intellect and culture and of gnat judicial ability The vacancy on the bench was caused by the resignation of a judge elected from Philadelphia and that city has just one representative in the Supreme Court. Appreciating tke force of these considerations, the Democratic party will in all likelihood select the Governor's appointee, Hon. Samuel Gustine Thompson, of Philadelphia, as their standard- bearer. Therefore, of all the candidates named, none of them would be stronger than Hon. D.

Newlin FeH and if elected, none will represent the bar of Pennsylvania, the Republican party, or the people of the commonwealth more acceptably or with greater credit and honor than he. For sixteen years he has been one of the judges of the Common Pleas Court, having been twice elected to that bench on the nomination of both political parties. He is thus eminently qualified, judicial experience, for the higher offtVe to which we seek to elevate'him, while his ability, learning, integrity, courage, and thorough fairness and impartiality as a judge are testified to not only by six hundred members of the Philadelphia bar, who have in writing indorsed his candidacy, but by the innumerable litigants who have had business before him. Judge Fell is, moreover, of such an age and in such excellent health as to give promise that he can, if elected, serve without impairment of his intellectual faculties or physical condition, during the full term of twenty-five years prescribed by the Constitution. Cochranton is looking for bigger crowds than ever at the fair there this year.

The success of Mrs. Annie Beam, o( McKeesport, Pennsylvania, in the treatment of diarrhoea in her children -will undoubtedly be of interest to many mothers She says: "1 spent several weeks in Johnstown, after the flood, on account of my husband being employed there. We had several children with us, two of whom took the diarrhoea very badly. Igot some of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy from Rev.

Mr. Chapman. It cured both of them. I know of several other cases where it was equally successful. I think it cannot be excelled and cheerfully recommend it." as and 50 cent bottles lor sale by S.

JACKSON. Gen. Samuel M.Jackson was born not far from Apollo, September 24, 1833, and for over twenty five years has been a resident of that town. He was reared on a farm in a family of ten children, and at an early age entered Jacksonville academy, but the death of his father compelled him to leave school and lose his long contemplated liberal education, His patriotic nature, which so distinguished him in after years, manifested itself early. When 13 years old he was enrolled in the State malitia and in due time became captain.

Later he tecruit- ed as captain Co. of the Apollo Independent Blues, nth Pa. Reserves, and led them to the field, at the beginning of the War. July 2, 1861, he was promoted to Major and three months later was commissioned Lieutenant Colonel of the Regiment and is mentioned by army historians as being conspicuous at Gaines Mills, Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Aotieum, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, the and Spottyslvania Court House. In the last named engagement he commanded the brigade and was officially commended for gallant conduct, and afterwards breveted Brigadier Gen- In 1869 he was elected to the Legislature, am) re-elected when his term expired.

In 1874 he was chosen State Senator and declined arenomination, which had been tendered him. On one of these occasions he received all or nearly all the votes of Apollo. In 1882. President Arthur appointed him Colh ctor of Internal Revenue lor the 23rd Pa. district, since which time he has twice been Armstrong's candidate for Congress.

He has been president of the Apollo Savings Bank since its incorporation, and is also secretary and treasurer of P. Laufman Co, manufacturers ol sheet iron and American tin plate. Despite the high honors he has re ceived, Gen. Jackson has the same sincerity and modesty that have always been his characteristic, and in the social and religious circles of his town, he is a most influential and respected citizen.

Sickness and Trouble Cause a Sandy Creek Resident to Commit Suicide, Special Correspondence Advance Argus. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 28, 1893. There are a remarkably few candidates in the field (or chairman ol the Siate committe, and it is generally thought that the leader of this coterie is IV F. Gilkeson, of Bucks, and it is probable that he will be called to this office.

Should this be the case, it will be necessary for him to have a secretary who has had some experience in State committee work, and this will put a damper on the candidacy of Senator Wesley Thomas, of Philadelphia, and also on that of A. D. Fetlerolf. of Montgomery, who are both desirous of tilling the office. John A.

Glenn, while in the city, last week, stated emphatically ihat he is a candidate (or the place, and if chosen would make as good a secretary as could be found, He was assistant secretary last year and had charge of the department which took care of the instruction of voters under the Baker ballot law. VVhile Secretary Leach was on his vacation, during the month of August, Mr. Glenn took entire charge, and the work went on as smoothly as possible. Should Mr. Glenn not secure the position, it will probably go to Jeie B.

Rex, of Huntingdon, who has served faithfully and well on the Stale committee. He is thoroughly equipped to fill the position, and his long experience would enable him to carry on a skilfull campaign. Either of the two last named men would be acceptable to the great majority of Republicans throughout tile Si rite. While summer is still with us. the city is preparing for the reception of fall and winter already.

Most of the theatres are now open, and those that are still closed throw tlidrdoorsupen in the next week or iwo. On Sauirdny night, the new Auditorium, wtis opened to the public and was packed to the doors with people. It stands on the ground occupied by the old Centnl Theatre, which was burned down several times, and the experience Mr. Gilmore has had with fires has c.itt-.ed him to build a playhouse Ihat stands at the head of Philadelphia theatres in regnrd to safety against fire. The building is a beautiful structure in light color, designed in the Moorish style of architecture, anil will bt- classed among Philadelphia's handsomest buildings.

All the appliances for salt-ly and comfort that could be lound have been used. The cantilever synUfm, which has heretofore only been used in the construction of bridges, has been employed to support the balcony, and this does away entirely with posts. The iron beams rest on both outer and inner walls of the theatre, and thus make it impossible for the balcony to fall. The farmer from Montgomery county who was lounrl lying in the street a short time ago by his wagon, and when taken to the hospital, had his case diagnosed as drunkenness, and was then taken to the police station, and afterward to another hospital, died from a fractured skull. He said he had fallen from his wagon and struck his head upon the curbstoneVbut the doctor who diagnosed his case as drunkenness refused to believe this, and sent him to the station.

The doctor has since been requested to resign. CHRISTIE. For a cut, bruise, burn or scald, there is nothing equal to Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It heals the parts more quickly than any other application, and unless he injury is very severe, no scar is left. For sale by Blackmon Benninghoff.

FATAL ACCIDENTS. Two Lives Lost on the ster Railroad Matters. The staid residents of Sandy Creek township, this county, were startled to learn that David Amon had committed suicide, Thursday afternoon. Mr. Amon was an old man, 76 years ol age, and of late had been making his home with a son-in-law who lived near the Bell school house, in the southeastern part of the township.

He left the house, Thursday forenoon, and was missed at dinner time, but it was supposed he had gone to a neighbor's and remained for dinner. Not returning in evening, a search was instituted and a little girl of the family, opening the door of an outhouse near the school building, was horrified to find her grandfather's lifeless body hanging there. An inquest was held that evening by 'Squire J. W. Philips, who empanelled a jury of the following residents of Sheak-' leyville: E.

K. Martin, E. W. Graham, Hugh Wherry, M. F.

Thompson and D. A. Philips. The jury brought in a verdict of suicide, by hanging. The deceased hail been in poor health for some time and was quite destitute, so much so that his aged wife and he had to liveapart.Ithat the burden of their support might be shared by relatives.

It is believed the poor man thought he was a burden to his friends and brooded over this until he took his lite. A wife and five children survive him. He was the stepfather of the famous Oil Creek millionaire, Coal Oil Johnny, whose name was in everybody's mouth at one time. When he was rolling In wealth he promised to buy his mother a large farm, so that she might spend the rest of her life in ease, but before this promise was carried into effect he had squandered his vast fortune.
