The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1878-11-16

To My FRIENDS The bitterness and eX-
citement of the late election having TO some
extent subsidized, feel it to be my duty to
heartily thank my many warm and earnest
supporters, regardless of party, who did all
they could to achieve for me different re-
suit than the one that came. feel fully as
thankful to my friends for their efforts and
sympathy in my behalf, as possibly could
if had been elected. The office is one, more
of honor than profit to any man who is able
and competent to fill it, and | am content
with the result and hope the intelligent and
thinking people Of Carbon County have the
same feeling now after takinga second sober
thought.
do not refer to the small fry politicians
who have but one idea-to obey orders
whose brainess craniums never reach the
level of thought for the public good.
The most unreasonable and untruthlul
reports were put in circulation about me,by
men who knew them to be talse,tor the pur-
pose Of creating prejudice against me among
the uneducated class of people. At one
election poll it was earnestly urged by
large-mouthed politician that was in favor
of a law that workingman should have
nothing to eat but bread and water.
That man. land there were Others just as
dishonorable in other ways ),willtully mlsled
and deceived honest voters. This phase of
our politics must be a source of deep regret
and anxiety to all honorable men,who have
any faith in our institutions and form OF
government.
believe there are many thinking and
honorable men, who would hail the day
with joy,if the politics of our country would
be conducted, with at least some regard to
honor, justice, and the best welfare of the
masses Of the people.
My deleat,will please and delight my few
personal enemies, and when they can be
cratifed bv so small an inconvenience to
me. ask you all to be content
10 my friends again say that ] am not
unmindlul of your Kindness towards me in
the past. | will not forget You.

Echoes from HEAVIER Meadow.

William Dunn, Sr., received a severe
blow on his foot in the mines on Friday last.
The Rev. Marshall is carrying on pro-
tracted meetings in the NJ. +. Church of this
place.
Mrs. w. b. McClain and five children
returned to this place from Illinois on Sun
day evening last.
John Reese and family came back from
Elk county, on Tuesday last, John says
that Elk county is a poor county for farming.
Beaver Meadow town can boast of hav-
ing no defeated candidates on any side at the
late election.
We wonder what the name of the next
childw will be: Wesuppose that }. c. Fincher
will try another paper. lie has already been
the father of more papers, and the death of
more politicians than any man in this coun-
try.
Packer township schools opened this
! year with more than their usual number
| Last year the Church school had only eleven
| pupils on the roll for this first month. This
! year the teacher has already thrty-fve. The
| West end school opened with ten pupils the
| first month. This year the teacher has all
ready twenty-one. This shows that there is
a growing interest in favor of education
| throughout the valley.
Last Sunday morning as two sisters were
/ discussing the Sunday school lesson, which
/ was about the Pharisee and Publican going
| up to the temple to pray, the elder sister ask
| ed the younger one if she understood the
lesson, and, if she knew what the word
/ Pharsee meant, to which the little maiden
| replied, certainly, why a Democrat to be
sure. It seems to US as if that little girl has
a great knowledge of human nature.
We are very glad to find,by public post
ers, that the spicey little paper, the CARBoN
ADVOCATE, is about 10 give us considerably
more reading matter, which We consider will
be quite treat TO every one. As an indie
| pendent county paper, it is just what it
should be to suit any and every family in
the county. 1t serves as a medium between
the extremes, moderating party passions, and
keeping its readers within the bounds Of
good common sense.

\ Bethlehem dispatch, dated the 18th
inst, gives the following particulars of
fight between Hon. Chas. Brodhead and
Capt. Boudinot:
While the Hon. Charles Brodhead was
standing at the Union depot, this place, at
10 o'clock this morning, engaged in CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Frank Roop, master mech
anlc of the North Penn Railroad he was
approached by Captain W. b. L. Boudinot,
who said: "Will you apologize for the Ian
guagc you used Yesterday" Mr.. Brodhead
replied: "No; go about your business. l
have nothing to do with you" These words
were scarcely uttered when Boudinot raised
his cane and struck Brodhead terrible blow
over the head shatterng the cane and in
ficting an ugly scalp wound upon Mr.. Brod-
head. lie continued to beat Mr.. Brodhead
until the latter got blow in on Boudinot's
face, which sent him sprawling upon the
ground. Bystanders then interfered and
prevented Brodhead from following up his
advantage. This afternoon Boudinot was
arrested on charge of aggravated assault
and battery with intent to kill, waived a
hearing, and furnished bail in the sum of
$500, The aifray grew out of a wrange
over the proprietorship of the Sun Hotel,
Boudinot espousing the cause of George W.
jackson, landlord, whom Brodhead had
violently elected from the hotel.

r CREMATION.


Slowly. but surely. science in its on
ward march isrsvolutionizing this world
Of ours. Old customs are becoming OBJ.
s%olste. and new and better methods OF
contributing to the happiness OF a
kind are coming into vogue. Yesterday
the second cremation in this country.
under the Auspices Of the T~heosophical
Society Of New York. was successfully
accomplished in DR.. Lsmoyns's furnace
in Washington. Pennsylvania. This
time the subject was the body OF a
woman. q Mrs. Pitman Of Cincinnati.
Before her death she made her husband
promise that her remains should not be
allowed to cumber the earth. and send
forth disssse-breeding vapors, to strike
down the strong and the healthy. The
promise has been faithfully kept. and
to-day the devoted husband holds in his
keeping all that was mortal Of his wife.
In the shape Of q few ounces Of pure.

Is safe from awaking TO suffer an agon-
izing death in the grave; he is
saved from contemplating the dis
gusting process Of the dissolution OF
that body which was so beautiful In his
eyes during life. He can feel that he
has conscientiously done his duty to
himself, to mis- lost wife. and to the
world Of the living. And in addition to
all this. he has aided by boldly setting
tho example. to make cremation. which
is tho only proper way OF disposing Of
our dead. popular with the masses.
When this csrsuony becomes Of daily

speedily take the place OF the ordinary
burials. The undertakers will suffer.
but the world will be healthier. and We

There are three methods Of electing
a Pope. arst. by reclamation. or inspi.
ration ; second. by compromise |; and
third. BY ballot, or by accedins. which
Is, moreover. the only n In usage In
our time. and which will be employed in
selecting the successor to the late Pope
Plus TX. The New York Sun. Of the
sth instant gives q very complete dss.
cription Of this latter system illustrated
BY diagrams Of the ballots, q portion Of
which we reproduce for the benefit Of
our readers.
THO Three Periods.
This election Is carried on by means
Of ballots. containing the suffrages Of
the Cardinals. It commences with the
opening Of the C~onclave, and IL repeat
cd twice a day. without even excepting
the great feasts. such a. Christmas and
Easter. No Cardinal present can refuse
to take part In the vote |; and II any
member Of the Holy College Is confined
in his ~cloistsr by sickness. IL Is decrsed
by a special bull Of Gregory that Q com.
mittse OF Cardinals shall DO appointed
to get the votes OF their sick colleagues.
The morning ballot is taken after the
celebration Of mass In the same chapel
In which Ia deposit. d the chalics. which
serves a. o ballot box /; and the after
noon ballot Is preceded by the invoca-
ton Of the Holy Ghost. with the hymn.
yisni Creator Spiritas.
The ballot Is secret In order TO protect
the dissenting Cardinals from the hatred
and revenge Of the Q Pope. II Is
done under conditions which prevent
the possibility OF fraud. II will bs seen
by the description which We are about TO
give that the Popes have foreseen all the
resources Of partisan excitement, and
have known how 10 provide against them
beforehand. The election Is. 30 to say.
divided into three periods-bsfore, dur
ing. and after the vote. Before the vote
ths Cardinals prepare their ballots. Then
they draw by lot the names Of the three
Cardinals who are 10 count the vote.
After this second operation the Cardinals
write upon their ballots the name OF him
whom they wish To elect Pope. and
finally they fold and seal their ballots.
We give below (A) the form Of the
ballot which the Cardinals use to express
their suffrage:
