Lula is the name of the beast that
has eclipsed Goldsmith Maid on the
race course.
The oldest man lives in Troy, New
York. He is an lrishman BY birth.
His age is l09 years.
On the 18th inst. a sad case of sui
eide was enacted near Reading, this
State, by the wife of Captain Philip
Bissenger, accompanied ty her three
children 1.-TWO girls and boy J, aged re-
spectively 8, 6 and 3 years, leaving her
home aud walking up the tow-path of
the Union canal, and when near Gring's
Mill, three miles north of the city, she
deliberately walked into the canal an6
drowned herself anG her children. The
bodies were recovered and brought to
Reading for interment.
A despatch from Reading on the 2lst,
says relative to the funeral-The ut
most excitement prevailed. For an
hour before the time appointed for the
funeral the house was surrounded oy
an excited crowd, the excitement was
so great that a detachment of police
kept guard on the premises. The cir
cumstances attending the death of the
mother and children we're such as to
create the strongest interest, which
partakes largely Of indignation. Bis
singer is keeper of a saloon in Reading
and his family consists as enumerated
above. His mother also made her
home with his family. Of late there
has been considerable unhappiness,
caused, the neighbors cay, by the treat
ment Of Mrs. Bissinger by her husband
and his mother. The report common
ly accepted is that Bissinger had be-
slowed his affections upon an unmarried
woman from Philadelpbia, whom he
frequently had at his house. On Mon
day as it is stated, quarrel took place
between husband and wife on this ac-
,ount, and he ordered her out of his
sight. lie told her he would give her
81 600 to 60 away and return no more,
she to take the two girls and he to keep
the boy, and threatened to kill her if
she returned. This was great distress
70 her mind. On Tuesday, aeeompa-
MED BY her three children, she left the
house and entered street car. iu which
she rode cut Of the city for the distance
of about two and half miles to point
on the bank of the canal. She had a
basket with her, this she filed with
stones, ter children assisting her.
Having filled the basket she bound
il securely to her waist, and then TAX
child under each arm, and holding
the third to her breast, she jumped
into the cansl. A man near by heard
the cries of the children but not being
able to swim he could give no help,
and before he gathered help they we're
all drowned. The bodies we're recov-
cred and removed to tue house of
the husband, and he was notified
OF the occurrence, receiving the
news, it is said: in the company of the
party who had caased The unhappiness.
So gest was the indignation among the
people at large that a detschment of
police was kept guarding the house of
Bisslsger until xfter the funeral. tits

Communicated
Tom. Chalfant and the Hiding Act

To the Editors of the COLUMBIAN:
As Tom. Chalfant pours out a considera-
BILE quantity of spleen upon your humble
servant in the last issue of his paper | beg
your indulgence for a small space in reply.
Through the paper had asked him to ex-
plain why he failed to vote when the "Hid-
ing act passed, which enables Treasurer Mack
ey to amass millions of the peoples money in
the Treasury and pocket the interest, using
it to corrupt elections and defy the peoples
ballots, besides enriching himself, sc. This
was fair question which any constituent
had a right to ask without offence, and which
any honorable representative would have
felt bound and been glad to explain. In
stead of giving explanation he scolds like a
drab, saying obtained my information from
New York papers two years after the occur
renee, &c. The fact is, | have not read a
New York paper or looked into one in two
years, or in ten years, and did not refer to
his cupable conduct before because he was
not worth reference until candidacy for re-
election gave him some mOmentary imp or
tance. That he was tool of the Treasury
ring during his Senatorial career his acts
demonstrate, and that he was nominated by
their agent is equally well known.
His attack upon me is based upon the
assertion that | charged too much for adver-
tising the new Constitution. | will only
with my published terms and at precisely
the same rate that | charged Bloomsbury
merchants and mechanics for the same kind
of advertising. The job being large one it
made a large bill, ll,perhaps more than would
have asked under different circumstances,
but the terms of the blank affidavit furnish
ed by the Secretary of the Commonwealth
required the charge to be made at regular
rate. When / forwarded my bill at the
same time informed the Secretary that | was
willing to take whatever amount was paid to
other reputable papers of equal circulation.
| And that is all there is of that mares
| nest.
But there is much difference in the action
matter. He obtained nearly as much as !
did for the advertising in question, though
his paper had only about one-third the cir
culation that mine had, and he therefore
done only one third as much work. Which,
then, is guilty of charging exorbitantly ?
Another difference my bill was paid only
after legal approval by the proper officers,
Secretary of the Commonwealth, Auditor
General and State Treasurer,l while his was
paid by Mackey, as | am informed before
there was any law authOrising the payment
Why?
Tom. sneers at me for being cold" Well
while age is certainly not discreditable, it il
equally true that | am considerably his

A CONTRAST The commissioners OF
Schuylkill county-two democrats and one
republcan-were recently convicted of will
ful misrepresentation of the public funds. a
motion for a new trial was at once made, but
after being fully and ably argued, was re-
fused, and Judge Pershing sentenced each
of them, Patrick Conroy, Moses Hine and
Valentine Benner, to two years imprison-
ment, 81 900 fine and to pay back the
county's money which they had wasted.
They were, too, at once removed from office,
aad their places filled by appontm ents by
the court This was done in an overwhelm-
ing democratic county, by a dem ocratic
Judge, and prosecuted throughout by demo-
cratic officials.
Contrast this case with another we all re-
member, when three years ago republican
governor, within few days of the election,
opened the door of the pententiary and
freed two convicts whose false oaths as a
consideration for their freedom, placarded
broadcast over the country, might gain votes
| for the then republican candidate for COVER
nor, John F. Hartranft, now again before
the people for the same office, who had rest
| ed for year under a charge preferred by
the oaths of these same convic:s. How dc
you like the picture? Where, too, are the
thousands of republican defaulters and cor
ruptionists throughout the land. Look
around, and you will find them in the front
| ranka none of them mOlestel for theil
crimes -AHent0tCa Democrat.

Mr.. Dieifenbach, as explained by him last
week, was induced to relinquish his post as
editor of the COLUMBIAN, by reason of the
recent death Of his wife making it necessary
to place his young children under the care
of friends in Clinton county, whence their
mother came.
We know that it is with regret that he
leaves the post which he had expected to
occupy for years, and the people among
whom he had intended to pass the remainder
Of his days.
1t will be a matter Of regret to his many
friends in this county, and to the profession
generally, that his pen, for the present at
least, cannot be welded for the cause in
which he has spent his life, and especially
at a time when editorial ability is in such
great demand
Our best wishes go with him, and our
hope is that he may live long to aid our
cause by his judicious advice, and that soon
he may see the enemies he has so long fought,
vanquished by an unbroken Democratic
front which he has so much helped to
strengthen.

THE CHANGE Is ALREADY NOTED.-The
Philadelphia Evening Chronicle says, bust
ness has certainly undergone a revival since
the Erie Convention Everybody seems to
be in better spirits, Merchants are more
smiling and hopeful, and everywhere the
spirit of business affairs is decidedly more
encouraging. These healthful indications
are, of course due to the generally prevail
ing impression that Pershing and PioIlet
are to fill the Offices of Governor and State
Treasurer, and that, as a matter of course,
the affairs of the Commonwealth will be
wrested from the hands of the Ring that
have so long controlled them and be admin
istered by honest and capable men, So far,
so good
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1875-10-08

In looking over our Republican exchanges
we notice that the charges against our can
didates, our platform, and our party, appear
simultaneously, and in the same language,
with the same italics and exclamation points,
OF course these leaders are manufactured at
Republican headquarters, and forwarded to
editors of the Radical persuasion. They
are published as original, and without eX-
animation. The result is that the Republi-
can papers are edited by unknown and ire
sponsible parties. Assertions are made that
are proven to be untrue, but the mischief ha-
been done; the calumnes have spread, and
40 word of refutation is ever heard
The charges against our candidates have
been shown to be utterly false. Their legis
latiye records have been misrepresented, and
neither editors nor speakers have the man
illness to tell the truth, A man who will liz
for political purpose, will for any other
and is not entitled to the confidence or re
spect of honest men.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1875-10-08
To the Readers of The Columbian. :

In resuming the Editorial chair of the
COLUMBIAN, vacated by me over two years
ago, | fully appreciate the responsibilities
incur, and the additional labor that will be
imposed upon me. The best guarantee Of
its future policy, is its management when
formerly under my control. 1t will be made
strong, active aggressive Democratic jour
nal and will contain current, General and
local news ;-reading matter fir the family
circle the business man, and the politician.
1t will be true to the traditions of the party,
and follow the teachings of the wise and
good men who founded our Government.
Whilst true to the organization, it will not
shield dishonest Democrat, nor defame
meritorious opponent.
George f. Elwell is associated with me as
Editor and Proprietor of the newspaper. As
most of its readers know he is gentleman
of culture, high social standing, and posses
sing unusual ability and energy.
The recent Democratic successes in this
and other states indicate that with proper
effort we can secure the election of our
candidates for Governor and State Treasurer
in November, and thus pave the way to
victory in the Presidential contest of next
year. A well sustained county newspaper is
the strongest agent in securing triumph, and
we therefore appeal to the party for active
support.
