Das~ The editor Of the Broome Republican
who was the orator of the day at WaverIy, in
his account of the trial Of engines at the cele-
bration, says that Neptune No. /, of Waverlv
"threw the highest and 25 feet the fartherest y
which statement the WaverIy Adrocate copies
and endorses. The Omego Gazette, the editor
of which was present says that Susquehanns
No. 1, of Owego, "threw stream which tow.
cred aloft above all competitors"
The members of the Franklin Co., Of this
place, believe that both statements are grossly
Unjust, have invited Neptune Co., to meet them
at any point between Athens and Towanda, for
a trial, each Company to put up from $50 to
5000 on the result.

sincerity and selfshness which the party con-
tains
The remedy for all the evils at which we
have hihted, is simple and easily applied. If
the Republicans will determine that plotting
and planning, bargaining and promising shall
not succeed, but will resolve to select their
candidates for their worth, ability and integ-
rity without the interference of those personally
interested, they will preserve the purity of that
party. A candidate should be content to place
his name before the Republicans in connexion
with the Office he desires, and permit the Con-
vention to decide. We wish that an end could
be put to all interference in delegate elections
by persons outside of township, for mercena-
ry motives Let the Republicans of every
election district consider every attempt to con-
troll their free action in the choice of delegates
an insult upon thsir intelligence, and dctation
which should be promptly and Indignantly re-
buked Such course would soon leave the
people free to act for themselves, aud candi-
dates would learn to paos their expectations
on higher grounds.
There are many points upon which we have
not touched. We shall however, keep this
subject before the Republicans of the county,
until the delegate elections take place, that if
evil shall come from negligence it shall not be
our fault.

Bes~ We willingly give place to the fol-

from one who was a constituent of General
PACKER whilst he was State Senator:
"Keepit before the people-that the leading
LocOfocos of Belefonte refused to support
General WILLIAM F. PACKER for the State Sen
ate, in 1S49, for the reason, as they said he
acaS rascal, and had cheated the iState'
keep it before the people-that the editor
of the Centre Democrat, (then a Locoloco pa

PACKER to the head Of his paper, as a candi-
date for State Senator, until he was forced to
do SO by some of his patrons threatening to
discontinue their papers.
Keep it before the people-that when
General w. L. PACKER ran for the State Sen
ate, in lS49, he received but about fifty votes,
out of two hundred, in the borough of Belle,
fonte, the Locofocos generally refusing to sup
port him for the reason that he had robbed the
State. The average Locofoco majority in the
borough at that time was about twenty.
We give the above facts for the benefit
of honest voters throughout the State, which
facts We are really TO pr0tc at any time. If
Loco(ocos refused to support Mr.. PACKER for
State Senator, in 40, because he cheated the
State, can they now consistently support him

Death of Hon. VIM. L. Marcy.

Hon. VIM Marcy late Secretary of State,
died very suddenly at Balston, \. Y, at noon
on the fourth of July. Shortly after breakfast
he complained of pain in his side and walk
ed to the Office of physician, but not finding
him in, he returned to his room at the hotel.
The doctor came in few minutes after, and on
going to Marcy's room found him laying upon
the bed with an open book upon his breast
Judge Marcy was in his list year. having
been born Dec II, 1855, in Stowbridge, Wor-
academic course in his native town he entered
graduated there in 1903. During the war
with Great Britain in 1912 and 1914, Mr.
Marcy served as a volunteer in the defence of
his State. He was in the United States Senate
less than two years, when he resigned, being
elected Governor of New York, in 1882. He
was twice reelected, viz in 1884 and 1886
but on fourth nomination., in 1888, he shared
in the defeat of the democratic party, and
William H. Seward was elected over him
After retiring from the executive chair Mr.
Marcy principally devoted his attention to his
private business, until Mr. Polk became Pres
ident in 1912. He was then offered and ac-
cepted the office Of Secretary of War, and was
considered through the four years of his SER
vice one of the most influential members of the
Mr. Folks cabinet. In the death of Governor
Marcy we have lost one of our ablest states
men.
He was buried on Wednesday from the
Pearl St. Baptist Church to which he was at
tached, the ceremony being attended by the
highest officers in the nation and an immense
eoncQurSe of mourning peoDle.

A BLOODY RIOT IN New YoRK-The city
commencing on he 4th of July and continu-
ing all through Sunday. The disturbances
originated in an old feud between two parties
of rowdies known as the "Dead Rabbits" and
the "Bowery Boys" The disturbances became
SO great that three regiments of the State
troops were called out to suppress them. Sew
eral of the streets were barricaded, and fire
arms used freely. Seven persons were killed
and forty or fifty wounded, many of them sup
posed to be mortally A six pound howitzer
was taken from one of the gangs by the police
and military. 1t is said to have been charged
with grape shot and ready for use:

THE WHEAT CRoP-We regret to say that
the'wheat crops in this neighborhood are Sc
verely injured by the weevil. 1t is doubtful
whether more than half crop will be. harves-
ted this year, in this quarter.
In ALLEGHENY COUNTY, the Pittsburgh pa
pers say that the wheat crop looks remarkably
well, and with the exception of some exposed
tracts, where the effects of the heavy frosts of
last winter are plainly visible, the whole ap.
pearance of the crop is good
The YORK County papers say, all right in
this county. We hear no complaints. The
farmers are occupied in making hay and look
ing after the corn The former is heavy and
the latter, though back week or two, stands
regular and is promising. Some of our far
mers in the country are already through with
hay-making. The wheat, rye and cats are in a
cheering condition, on an average.

From ST. Louis Republican. July 4th.l
The Utah Expedition.

Tn little whie-not exceeding ten days,
we should think-the whole army destined for
Utah will be in the field. We have 0 rlolbts
not now for the first time expressed, whether
such an army, so encumbered with baggage
and military supplies, can reach Utah before
the winter sets in ; but if not, they can readily
find quarters at Fort Laramie, and thence
make an early march to Great Salt Lake City
in the spring.
The officers of the Quartermaster and Com
mssary Departments, in fitting out this eXpe-
dtion, have done wonders Since the 5th of
the number of troops forwarded by them to
the West is 1000 that the numbesof horses
purchased amounts to 302 number of mules,
234 number of wagons, with harness for six
mule teams, 325 total number of tons of
Quartermaster's and Commssary stores, pur-
chased and shipped, $3.50 number of bushels
of oats, 5000 bushels of corn 10, 900 steam
ers engaged, As and number Of teamsters enl-
ployed, 200.
We further learn that the value Of the
Quartermaster's stores is 500, 900, and that
of the Commissary'S stores 32S, 600. We do
not know that this includes the value of the
horses, mules, &c. purchased elsewhere than
in st. Louis and we are quite sure that it
does not embrace the material of war furnish
ed by the St. Louis Arsenal, and iu the prep
aration of which an average of one hundred
men have been for some time employed. When
the whole account comes to be footed up, it
will be found that this expedition has been the
means of disbursing some twelve or fifteen
hundred thousand dollars in Missouri, to say
nothing of transportation across the plains,
the supply of beef cattle, &c, contracts for
which have already been made.

THE BARCLAY Coal ON THE n Y. & ERIE
RAILRoAD-On Monday, 9th inst.j the Ac-
commodation train on the n. Y. & E. Rail
road was run with coal from the Barclay mines
from Waverly to Hornellsville, and passen-
ger train run back with the same fuel. We
are informed that although the engines were
not we'll adapted to burning coal, yet the ex-
pertinent was highly satisfactory The Bar
clay coal is considered by competent judges
to be superior for locomotives to any coal now
in use, burning freely and making but little
clinker to clog the CRATES There can be no
doubt but that the n. Y. & f. Railroad must
in time be large consumer of this fuel, on
the score of economy. Wood is already be-
coming scarce and high in some places along
the Road, and at the lowest price paid, the
Barclay coal can be delivered so as to be the
cheapest fuel
We are informed that experiments have
been made at Syracuse with the Barclay coal
for salt-boiling purposes, which were consider
ed in the most eminent degree successful. AT
that place wood has already become so scarce
that it brings about Sc per cord, and is diff
cult to obtain at that. The large quantity
consumed per year, and the high price paid,
has caused the salt-operators to turn their at
tention to the procurement of other fuel. The
Barclay coal has been found, after trial, to be
admirably adapted to their necessities. A
large quantity would already have been ship
ped to that place had not the unfortunate
disasters to the Junction Canal occurred.
The two sources of demand we have alrea-
dy indicated, will require a large amount of
coal, per annum probably much more than the
present facilities of the Barclay Co. can posi-
bly, mine and bring to market. A second COM
pany has already been formed, called the
Bradford Rail Road and Coal Co." owning
large quantity of valuable coal lands, ada
cent to the coal lands of the Barclay Co., and
through which the Road passes, which we are
Informed, expects the present season, to con-
mence mining coal.
1t requires no very sanguine temperament
to feel that the time is not far distant when
the valuable coal fields of Bradford will be
required to supply the wants of consumers, and
that the coal will find ready and profitable
market. For mechanical purposes, and for
generating steam it is unsurpassed, and its
proximity to markets will bring it into imme
diate notice and consequent demand. Indeed
the Barclay Company have already contract,
ed for as much coal as they will be able to de-
liver this season. Another year we look with
confidence to business in bituminous coal in
this section, which will tell favorably upon th {
prosperity of this place.

FRIGuTFUL DEATH OF MRs. \. G. SMITH AT

During the fire on Clark street most
distressing accident took place. Mr. Smith
was standing at his window in Davis Book

ing out at the fire. His wife came into the
room and stood leaning on his shoulder She
had hardly stood there moment when a case
of fire works exploded, and one of the rockets
came in at the window, striking her in the
forehead, going into her head and killing her
Instantly. 1t happened SO suddenly that her
husband did not believe at first that she was
killed. From the terrible manner in which
her head was manged it is evident that the
rocket must have exploded after it had enter
ed. We have never been called upon to fe,
cord more singular and at the same time a
more terrible accident than this.
