Probably no one thing has caused such Scranton Bepublican, Rev It would be a genuine surprise as well as a pleas ure to see Mr. Wolverton elected to Con gress, lie is a partisan and all that, but he is also able and dignified and possess ed of tremendous force. "Bystander." in the Shamokin Dispatch of Wednesday pays our honored towns man and Republican, Mr. Grant Newbury, the following just tribute in speak ing of candidates for the Republican County Chairmanship "There is another candidate though for this position and that individual is Grant Newbury of Northumberland. He was on the legislative ticket some years ago, outdid not connect.

He is a hard party worker and a solid and reliable man. His candidacy for the legislature made him known and gained him many friends who will rally to his support if they know he is a candidate. Taking his defeat into consideration, bis election to the office would be a delicate compli ment-nicely paid. Grant Newbury is a son of a veteran. Hon.

S. P. Wolverton, of Sunbury, car ried Columbia county in his nomination for Congress on the Democratic ticket, last Saturday, defeating the present rep resentative in Congress, Hon. C. R.

Buck-ale in his own county. It is claimed by Buckalew and his friends that a scheme was worked to defeat him bogus tickets having been circulated. Geo. W. Herring, of Bloomsburg, was seen in Sunbury the other day, and denied the charge of bogus tickets in the following language "It is a lie.

There was no fight until Buckalew appeared on the ground a week ago to-night. There was no work done until then." He afterward remarked "Buckalew has been cordially disliked for years, and it was a wonder be was not upset before, as that was the understand ing." Mr. Wolverton's nomination inthedis trict is now sure. The district is com posed of Northumberland, Montour, Co lumbia and Sullivan counties. Mr.

Wolverton is "too big a man" to have had anything to do in this contest in Mr. Buckalew's own county although we believe the Democrats of Columbia county feel as they do in this county That Mr. Wolverton is entitled to the nomination he is comparatively young, and is vigorous and eminently fitted for the position. The young democracy want him in Congress while he is in his prime, and they will have him there this time, whether he says yea or no. NE WS FB 0M THE UBB UNBING COUNTIES.

The population of Selinsgrove is 1,307, of Snyder county, 17,522. Last Friday the chop mill of Mr. E. M. Kling, at Mazeppa, Union county, caught on fire and was entirely destroyed.

It is not known how the fire originated The Danville Base Ball Club defeated the Williamsport Club on Tuesday by a score of 5 to 2. The same teams played again in Williamsport, on Wednesday. The Danville boys were defeated. The score was 5 to 4. The Bellefonte Aleuts says: There is an old maid in Hellefonte who, being possessed of considerable property, pays a large amount of school tax.

She now want 8 the privilege of pasturing her cow on the school house grounds because, she says, she has no children to send to school. This woman ought to have been born a lawyer. The council-at Wilkesbarre has succeeded in getting itself into such, bad repute that none of the papers of that city will publish the proceedings. They don't know what fun they are missing. It strikes the average citizen that the proceedings of council should be paid for at special rates, especially when council is dabbling into foolishness.

t0 A sad accident occurred at Slabtown, a suburb of Williamsport, shortly after noon on Monday, in which one 'life was lost. Harry Wright and Eddie Blaker, aged 10 acd 13 respectively, were duck shooting, and Wright, who was in the act of shooting, stumbled aud fell. The gun was discharged and the contents entered tho neck of Blaker who was some distance ahead, Blaker was carried to his home and expired that night at eight o'clock.

We acknowledge the receipt of the initial number of The Nanticoke News, a weekly newspaper just born in that thriving mining city last week. It has eight pages, six columns to the page, of the liveliest and brightest local, miscellaneous and telegraphic news, and if ambition and enterprise don't make a success of this publication, it is hard to tell what else would.

The new paper has been added to our exchange list. September 4th will be the last day on which citizens can be lawfully assessed for the purpose of voting at the Nov. election. Assessors are required to post their lists at the proper polling places not later than the first Monday in August. Voters should examine this list and see that they are assessed.

The crossing that the Philadelphia and Erie. Railroad Company intends to lay at the lower end of Front street, has not been put down yet, although the stone have been on the ground for a month.

Among the first questions- asked the American abroad is, to give some descrip tion of the much talked of Niagara Falls, and an amusing story is told of a Boston, ian, who, having visited Europe year after year, and each time while there had had this question plied by foreigners so often that her embarrassment was annoying, and several days before leaving Boston again for Europe, she determined to visit this Natural Wonder of her own country.

Her delight and enthusiasm, and her reluctance to leave until the very last minute, caused her to miss her steamer, but she was amply repaid, and in no end proud, in describing often and at length America's Niagara when abroad. The opportunity afforded by the Pennsylvania Railroad's tours, tinder the direct charge of the. Tourist Agent and Chape ron, enables every one to visit Niagara Falls, as well as stopping off at Watkins Glen, in either direction. The next tour will leave Philadelphia at 8:00 A. by special train of Pullman Parlor Cars and Day Coaches, Thursday, August 14th, and run via Downingtown, and Coatesville, to Harrisburg, and the ex cursion tickets valid for return within ten days will be sold at a rate of $10, and at proportionately low rates from other stations.

The country traversed by these really private excursions extends from the garden spots of Pennsylvania to the romantic lake region of New York. Register's Notice.

H.VINCENT, AND- JUSTICE OF THE PEACE, Northumberland, Pa. All business entrusted in his car will receive prompt attention i IMS 3 Stealing Cheese by Bailroad Employees Whiskey Thieves. The other evening me and me pen were iQunging at Blight's store, taking note of all we could see and hear. Of course we heard a plentiful amount of something about almost everything. The seeming failure in the electrocution of murderer Kemler discussed.

Nearly ev eryone was of the optuion that if the mur derer's respiration didn't cease until sev enteen seconds after he received the elec tric shock, that lie was enough. They came to the happy conclusion that seventeen seconds amount to only a trifle over a quarter of a minute, and certainly no humane man in this free land of ours could begrudge even a poor, repetitive murderer seventeen little seconds' worth of earth's sweet, free air. We say he was repeutive because, didn't he say his pray ers before preparing to take a final rest in his coffin Didn't he hope he would meet his friends over "there" To-be- sure he didn't say exactly where, but it can be easily understood that he meant the dim somewhere to be bis future home ither the graveyard, Satan's abode, or some other softly lighted place, where neither electricity nor, any other sweet angel of death makes youserenly die over again. But we are drifting. We want to say something of the local yarns and topics we heard.

So we shall start again as though we hadn't Baid anything. Every important topic was discussed the elec tric railway, Northumberland's improvements, electric lights, etc. There was a railroader among us, and by and by the conversation turned to railroading. We soon had thievery by employees under discussion. "I know of a trick in stealing cheese that occurred some years ago," said a Water street man.

"Theso thieves were a whole freight crew. They were all in oohoots and stole everything that they could conveniently steal. They stole much and they stole little. Some days tbey stole and some days they didn't, and they were never caught. Well, on one of their trips one of their cars contained a number of these round boxes of good, fresh cheese, and in this way they stole all of that cheese they wanted They lifted the lids off the boxes and then deliberately took a long knife and cut the centre of the cheese out, from top to bottom, the piece, after being pulled out, looking like a rolling pin without handles This crew lived in town and some of them are dead now." The railroader remarked that perhaps those that died ate too much cheese.

And we conceded with him in this idea for just as truly as the stomach is the seat of memory we thiuk it is often the seat of most death-becoming pain. "I had an experience once with whiskey thieves that I'll never forget," resumed our story-teller, who, by the way is a veteran blacksmith "The railroad company had been usiug an old ice house for a warehouseaud after while they discovered thattliey were being robbed by dribs of tb6 whiskey they stored there. The thieves' way of entrance was at once attributed to the dilapidated door. So they decided to bar that door with iron in such a manner that no common thieves could enter. They got me to make a bar and staples the staples to run clear through the posts and fastened on the inside with nuts.

Then I went to the ice house and began to put the bar and staples into place. While I was working away there all alone, boring the holes for the staples everything as quiet as in the dead of igltt I beard a little creaking noise. It ame from the other side of the house. I rned my head in that direction and there was a man's head sticking up through the floor, where there was a loose ard. 'How are says I.

i says he 'what you I 'he "Fij jf "'All xing up this All says he, 'go ahead but remember, don't you say anything about "With this he disappeared. I under- tood him, and I never said anything, ther. Be Gad I didn't dare. There as a gang of them, and I knew what ould become of me if I'd a blowed on hem." Just then Will Bright commenced to close up the store for the night, and we dispersed.

Chemist's Idea of Wine. Wo have heard a great deal of the su perior excellence of Speer's N. J. Wine, and of its being adopted in European hospitals in preference to their own wines. The most scientific men of this country and liquor-assayers appointed by state government, pronounce it a most valuable article for sickness.

We cannot write more on this subject, but publish the fol lowing card, which speaks for itself Portland, Feb. 1.

Wilson, Williamsburg, KingsCounty, New York. An Invention to Remove Danger. From the Mt. Carmel Newt: W. K.

Lord of Mt. Carmel and William Bullock of Centralia have invented and had patented a draft annunciator. As its name indicates it is intended to advise those concerned, of the condition of the air in the mines. The invention consists of a fan wheel located in the air-way of the mine, which by means of intermediate wheels and the pinion on the shaft, rotates a disk bearing a number of pins, which actuates a lifter arm and completes an electric circuit at intervals. On the shaft is also a spring governor which, when the air is passing at a normal speed, keeps the circuit open, but as soon as the requisite amount of air ceases to pass through the air-way and the speed of the indicator slackens, the circuit closes and the telephone or alarm bells in the office or engine house ring continuously, notifying the officials at once that the air is cut off, and if not soon attended to, the deadly gasses will be gathering through the mine.

The annunciator is so arranged that while the required number of feet of air is passing the alarm outside will give regular raps, but as soon as checked the bells ring continuously until the obstacle is removed or bells are cut out of circuit. t.l''.
