The Punxsutawney Spirit Says: A dispatch from Harrisburg to the Pittsburg papers last Thursday stated that Capt. John Hast ings, of this place, who was attending the Democratic State Convention, had been relieved of a hundred dollars in money and his railroad tickets.

The Democratic County Convention met in Library Hall on Tuesday afternoon. The attendance was large, 81 out of 100 delegates being present. The proceedings were attended with more than ordinary enthusiasm, which give evidence of the perfect harmony which prevails? in the party. Every mention of President Cleveland's name provoked long and hearty applause, and resolutions strongly endorsing his administration were unanimously adopted. The convention was called to order by Chairman Sansom.

A. P. Lowry, of Indiana, and W. G. Brown, of Saltsburg, were appointed Secretaries.

Mr. S. R. Rutledge, of Blairsville, was unanimously chosen permanent chairman. Upon taking the chair Mr.

Rutledge spoke of the harmony which existed in the party at present, and hoped that'all true Democrats would put their shoulders to the wheel this fall, and the result would be apparent when the votes were counted in Xovember. He also spoke in -eulogistic terms of the administration of dent Cleveland, and assured those present that lie (Cleveland) would occupy the White House during the next four years. The Doctor was frequently interrupted during his speech by enthusiastic applause. The first business transacted was the election of a County Chairman. County Chairman Sansom had no opposition and he was re-elected by acclammation.

There being no candidate for Congress, J. Gamble Fleming, of Indiana, M. E. Brown, of Blairsville, and Dr. Thomas of Saltsburg, were nominated and elected as conferees to represent this at the district conference.

The selection of a Senatorial candidate was the next business before the conven- There were three candidates, as follows: H. K. Sloan, of Indiana, W. T. 'line, of Saltsburg, and John H.

Hill, of Indiana. Hon. H. K. Sloan was elected vote being: Sloan, 52; Cline, 11; Hill, S.

Sloan's nomination was then made unanimous. John A. Bell and D. H. Tomb were then appointed a committee to notify Mr.

of his nomination and escorted him the Hall where lie was received with three hearty cheers. Mr. Sloan accepted he nomination in a few well chosen remarks. He thanked the members of he convention for the honor conferred upon him and assured them that if elected he would look after the interests of the people who elected him, and would use his utmost endeavors to dethrone the bosses and the corporations that are now in control of legislati on in this State. He also paid a fitting tribute to the administration of President Clweland and hoped that the Xational Convention in St.

Louis would vindicate the President's policy by re-nominating him by acclamation. He also eulogized Hon. Allan G. Thurman, our Vice President, and spoke of his great fitness for the place, and thought that his nomination assured Democratic success the Xovember election. Thomas Maher, of Blairsville, and Dr.

T. J. Marlin, of Shelocta, were unanimously nominated for Assembly. There was a rather lively' contest for Jury Commissioner, but the result caused no ill-feeling and the lucky candidate was afterward unanimously nominated. The candidates and votes were as follows: A.

Y. Barclay, of Conemaugh, 39; Joseph Boggs, of and John L. Brendlinger, of West Wheatfield, 5. J. Wood Clark, of Indiana, and Thomas Maher, of Blairsville, the committee on resolutions, presented the following which were unanimously adopted: The Democrats of Indiana County in convention assembled adhering to and re-asserting their faith in the policy and principles of the Democratic party, congratulate the country upon the wise, patriotic and beneficent administration of the government by President Cleveland, and, sensible of the overpowering demand of the people for his re-nomination and anticipating the united, harmonious and enthusiastic action of the Democratic party of the nation now sitting at St.

Louis to that end, we more especially congratulate the country upon the good prospect of a continuance of the same wise and patriotic policy. Ilcsoh-cd, That we give our hearty endorsement to the President's recent annual message to Congress, and favor the passage of a bill which will carry into effect the recommendations contained therein; such a bill as will put our various industries upon a fair and permanent basis of competition, and at the same time protect labor in the enjoyment of its earnings by relieving the people from a useless and onerous taxation which controls the prices of the necessaries of life. Eesoh-ed, That the surplus in the treasury of the United States should be applied to the payment of the public debt. That we favor the passage of a pension act which shall do ample justice to every deserving soldier and sailor, who has been in the service, and to the widows and orphans of such as have died from causes originating in the service. Jtesolicd, That we shall resist the encroachments of corporate power and favor an economic administration of the government under the principles of a proper system of Civil Service Reform.

Resolved, That we will heartily support the Democratic National, State and County Tickets and use all legal and proper means to secure the election of the same. LIST OF DELEGATES, Following is the list of delegates present. Tinckom. Ramsey, Solomon Dunmire, Albert Wiggins. R.

Decoration Day at Homer City. Another Memorial Day is numbered with the past, and friends have strewed flowers over the graves of many who assisted in decorating others one year ago. Each recurring year increases the number who will have answered the last great roll call, until the last one of the Grand Army who offered their lives that we might have a government "of the people, by the people and for the people," will be numbered with their comrades who have gone before. Comrades, have we the countersign The day was well observed in this place. At 8:30 a.

The procession then marched to the M. E. churchyard where a cenotaph had been erected. The services here were interesting and impressive, and at their conclusion the assemblage dispersed until 1:30 p. when it re-convened in the M.

There was also a rule granted en Geo. Dill, guardian, to pay the money due David A. Williams, as shown by his account.

The petitioner contended' it had been determined by the Legislature that some license were necessary, that there was no other brewery in the county, that he was a proper person to have a license and that the court should grant him a license.

It ivas also argued on his behalf that the Brooks law applied only to dealers, and as Mr. Doberneck was not a brewer, that law made no change in the mode of obtaining a brewers license, andthat the Court had no jurisdic tion in thematter and for that reason the application, the applicant would then obtain his license from the County Treasurer as heretofore. Upon behalf of the remon- strants it was argued that the court has jurisdiction in thae matter, that the weight of the evidence before the Court shows that there is no necessity for such license and it should therefore be refused.

Adjourned until Thursday at 2 p. m. Eepublican Prmary Election. I Although less than 2,800 votes were polled at the Republican Primary Election on Saturday last, it was a very spirited fight, and an exceedingly close vote was cast lor candidates for Assembly. It was a very queer election, and astonished the leaders of the different factions.

Two facts were developed in this contest, that it is a dangerous business to have Books and the Smiths in your favor, and also that the one man power in Indiana county can hardly survive another campaign. We give the total vote below. ASSEMBLY. Alle 1,440 1337 1237 Craighead 1220 JURY COMMISSIONER, 912 Irwin 605 Shaffer 513 221 Helman 133 North 184 Lewis ville. The citizens of Lewisville and community assembled on May 30th, to pay due honor to the memory of our fallen dead.

Willing fingers spared no pains with wreath and garland to give expression to the patriotism burning in the hearts of the people. A Division of the) Finley Patch Post No. 137, came from Blairsville to lead in the ceremony of love and gratitude to their comrades, fifteen of whom lie at rest in our cemetery. A deeply interested audience witnessed the exercises in the church, during which Rev. T.

R. Ewing, D. of the Blairsville Seminary, made an able, practical and eloquent address. The Post then formed and marched to the cemetery where they held their service over the grave of J. S.

Hazlett, member of Co. E. llth Regiment, Penn'a. Reserves, and decked with flowers the others. The students of our school then sang a requiui, after which Mr.

Jas. Fritz, in behalf of the G. A. addressed the people commending and thanking them for the sympathy and aid they had rendered. All present were greatly pleased with the proceedings and feel a deeper interest than ever before in this work.

A Serious Aoident to a Former Resident of Indiana. On Thursday last, Decoration Day, an accident occured which for a time threatened the life of Gilmore C. Fink, who resided in this place for some time, during the construction of the Waterworks. Mr. Fink was on a visit to his brother in Washington, and was sitting in a buggy about to take a drive, when a runaway team collided with the buggy, the pole crashing through his buggy and striking him in the middle of the back below the shoulder blades, at the same time the horses crushed the buggy he was sitting in completely to the ground, and were lying one on each side of Mr.

Fink when the spectators arrived. Ho was immediately taken to his hotel and a physician called, when it was found that he was completely paralyzed irom the hips down, and had sustained injuries which.seriously threatened his life. A telegram to his sister, Mrs. Chas. Vensil of this place, on Monday last, says that feeling Is gradually returning to the injured man's limbs and the physicians have some hopes of his recovery.

Mr. Fink's father, Mr. Joel Fink of Livermore, and his sister Mrs. Vensil left on Monday, and are now with him. We hope he may recover entirely, Pimples on the Face Denote an impure state of the blood and arc looked upon by many with suspicion.

The observance of Memorial Day in Blairsville, was the most complete, satisfactory and creditable -we ever had since the day was established by law. At 12 o'clock all places of busines were closed and the people from the country began to make their appearance on the street. Co. of the 5 1ST. G.

came marching down main street proceeded by our Cornet Band and also a band of martial music. The bands were under the direction of Drum Major, J. M. Kinkaid, in uniform, whose soldierly appearance commanded the admiration of the people. In the diamond the procession was formed under the direction of the Chief Marshal, Major T.

D. Cunningham, and his two aids Clark Knott and II. Kugg. The procession consisted of Co. Capt.

Kennedy in command, Findly Patch Post 137, G. A. and the.Sons of Veterans, then followed Blairsville 216, Jr. 0. U.

A. followed by the Lodge of Golden Eagle. There was much comment as to the appearance of those in procession, but among the orders the Junior Mechanic carried off the prize. The procession marched to the Public School Hall and there addressed by Rev. Hill.

After the exercises at the Hall, the procession was re-formed and marched to the cemetery, when the ceremonies of decorating the graves of the soldiers was gone through with, the Catholic cemetery was next visited and a detail of the Post repaired to the Episcopal Graveyard and the old burying ground and performed the duty assigned to them. The procession marched into the diamond and was dismissed. Co. D. gave a drill in the square which was heartily applauded on account of the manner the soldier boys showed their proficiency in the military Everything passed off in the pleasantest not a disturbance accused during the day, the semblance of a drunk was no where seen, and the only incident worth noting was one young man was using his tongue too freely among the ladies, but Chief of police Kalbaugb hearing of the matter promptly escorted the fellow to the lock up and upon a hearing was mulched into $6.25, fine and costs.

It is said a British flag was run up at one place in town and the wonder is that the military and G. A. R. men allowed It to remain, but perhaps they thought best under circumstances to treat the matter as they did, and avoid any disturbance to mar the pleasure of the day. The festival given in the Armory last week by the ladies of the M.

E. Church, as a grand success. On Thursday night fully 800 people were present, and we are informed over $800 was realized, and after deducting expenses a nice sum will be left for the benefit of the new church. On last Fridav morning Mrs. Cornell, wife of Peter Cornell, was stricken down with paralysis and died the same evening.

The funeral took place on Sunday morning and was very largely attended. Her body was interred in the Catholic cemetery. Mrs. Cornell was well and favorably known in this place, and her many friends will greatly deplore the loss. We are sure the family have the sympathy of the entire community.

The improvements in our town are still going on. Heaps of lumber may be seen on nearly every street to be used in the erection of a new buildings. The work of draining celars necessitate the digging up of the street, which rendered the passage disagreeable and annoying sometimes, but it cannot be helped. Let the work go on. The water Commissioners is putting in a new set of boilers at our water works and expect to have the job completed shortly.

It was quite a job to let them down the steep bluff, but it was accomplished without any accident or mishap. On Sunday night last, this country was visited with a heavy frost, but so far as we can hear, no harm was done. General Sheridan's Commission. Y. General Sheridan received the news of the action of Congress and the President with profoundest gratitude, and with a pencil wrote his name to the note addressed to the President, acknowledging the great honor and accepting the new rank with thanks.

The oath required by law from a geri- eial on entering upon a higher grade in the army was administered to him this evening by Mr. John Tweedale, chief clerk in the War Department, and the commission, of which the following is a copy, was handed him: The President of the United States of America, to all who shall see these presents, greeting: Know ye that, reposing special trust and confidence in the patriotism, valor, fidelity and abilities of Phillip H. Sheridan, I have nominated, and by and with the advice of the Senate, do appoint him General of the Army in the service of the United States, to rank as such from the first day of June, eighteen hundred and eighty-eight. He is therefore carefully and diligently to discharge the duty of General of the Army, by doing and performing all manner of things thereunto belonging. And I do strictlv charge and require all officers and soldiers under his command to be obedient to his orders as General of the Army.

And he is to observe and follow such orders and directions, from time to time, as he shall receive from me, or the future President of the United States of America or the general or other superior officers over him, according to the rules and discipline of war. This commission to continue in force during the pleasure of the President of the United States for the time being. Given under my hand, at the City of Washington, this ist day of June, in "the year of our Lord one-thousand eight hundred and year of the independence of the United States. By the President, GUOVEU CLEVELAND. WM.

C. EXDICOTT, Secretary of War. IJONOKS AXU EJIOLMEXTS. In addition to the honor attached to the office there are other considerations that make the position very desirable. The law allows the lieutenant general but two'aids and a military secretary, who are given a temporary rank us lieutenant colonels.

As general of the army General Sheridan will be entitled to six aids with the rank of colonel. An order was issued from the war department late this afternoon appointing Lieutenant Colonels Sheridan, Blunt and Kellogg us aids to the general with the increased rank of colonel. This action was necessary for the reason that their appointments as aids to the lieutenant general expired with the promotion of the general. The pay and emoluments attached to'the office of general arc as pay proper, $1,500 per annum as commutation of quarters and about a year as forage for five horses. totaj pay and allowances ot lieutenant general were about $12,200 per annum.
