important to Voters.

The next election in Pennsylvania
will be held in Pennsylvania on Tues
day, the 4th of November.
Voters must be assessed and regis
tered two months preceding the elec-
ton, that is, on or before Thursday
September 4.
Voters who have not paid state OF
county tax within two years next pre-
ceding the election Except such as are
between the ages of twenty-one and
twenty-five years., must pay such tax
one month preceding the election
that is, on or before Saturday, October
4.
Failure to pay the tax in season de-
prives she voter of the privilege OF
suffrage. If an elector has paid a
state or county tax within two years
next preceding the election, or if he be
between the ages of twenty-one and
twenty-five years, he can secure his
vote by making proper proofs to the
election board by his own affidavit
and that of a qualified voter of his
own precinct, though he be not regis
tered, but the neglect of registration
may cause him much trouble.

On Thursday morning last an ac-
cident occurred in Black Hole valley,
four miles from Dewart. on the farm
of Mr.. Charles DuChambeau, which
proved fatal to Mr.. Rock Garrow, a
we'll known Williamsporter. Mr..
Garrow moved his family to this farm
in April last, having previously made
arrangements with Mr.. DuChambeau
to farm it on shares. On Thursday
morning about eighl o'clock he went
to the barn yard to bring out two
horse wagon with the purpose of hitch
ing the horses to and doing some haul
ing. He took hold of the tongue to
back the wagon out into the road the
hind part of the wagon ran down
quickly into gully and hub of one
of the front wheels struck the gate
post, which caused the tongue to
swing around suddenly and with great
force against Mr.. Garrow, striking him
in the lower part of the abdomen and
hurting him violently to the ground.
He was picked up and taken to the
house, where he fingered in great pain
until Friday afternoon at o'clock, at
which time death came to his relief.
His body was brought to the city on
Saturday evening last and taken to
the home of his brother-in-law, Cyrel
Guinard.
Deceased was thirty-six years old on
the second of last June, and had been
resident If Williamsport about four
teen years. He was born in ST.
Rock, near Montreal, Canada, and re
ceived his Christian name, as is COM
mon in that country, from the name
of the place of birth. He leavesA wife
and six children. the oldest of the
children being abuut fourteen years OF
age, and the youngest three years.
He was very rugged man, and, not
withstanding the serious nature of his
injuries he was able to talk up to

A Bloody Duel.

A Kansas City dispatch gives the
following particulars Of a fatal duel in
Kansas on Friday night: About dusk
on Friday night terrible tragedy was
enacted in Wyandotte county, Kan
sas, ten miles from Kansas city, result
ing in the deaths of James Dobbins
and Michael Burns, old farmers and
residents Of the county. There had
been feud of ten years standing be-
tween the families, and on Friday
Dobbins and Burns met on the prem.
ises of the latter and after passing a
few words began shooting at each
other. 1t was deadly duel with the
wives and families of both as specta-
tors. Dobbins opened fire by sending
two balls into the side of the house
when Burns pulled his revolver and
the men advanced to within two feet
of each other before any more shoot
ing took place. Dobbins then fired,
hitting Burns in the arm, and in re.
turn received two bullets in tn chest.
Neither man fell, and Dobbins shot
Burns through the abdomen, when
the latter fell, but raising himself shot
once more, the load entering Dobbins'
head behind the ear. The men then
clinched, and in death grapple beat
each other with clubbed revolvers
The wife of Dobbins tried to assist her
husband, but he died while struggling
with Burns, who also died about day.
light this morning. The section OF
the country where the affray took
place is historical, being near the old
post road followed by Quantrell's
raiders after the sacking of Lawrence
during the early years of the war, and
has been the scene of many bloody en-
counters.

Shocking Accident.

The Tioga Express says: Last Sat
urday afternoon, at the house of Mr..
Frederick Hughes, in this township,
occurred one of the most heartrending
tragedies which it has been our duty to
record in many day. 1t seems that
on the day mentioned above several of
the large family went out fishing, re-
turning during the afternoon. The
day was cool, and when the party re-
turned, wet and thoroughly chilled, it
was proposed to build fire, by which
they could dry themselves and get
warm. Accordingly, Freddy Hughes
Jr,, was sent to prepare some kindling
wood. In his course he came across
an old gun, rusty and dusty with age,
and picking it up, pointed the muzzIe
toward his little brother Tommy, who
had followed him thither, adding at
| the same time that he would shoot the
little fellow if he followed him any
further, whereupon he pulled the trig-
ger, and the young lads spirit was
sent to that "bourne from which nc
traveller returns" His brains literally
oozed out upon the floor. His mother
ran to the stairs and picked him up in
her arms, where he expired after few
gasps. Freddie was so frightened
upon discovering what he had done
that he ran to the barn and hid, no
being found until quite late in th'
evening. He seems to fully realize th'
terrible deed he has done through hi
playful handling of the gun, and hi
grief is intense. The gun had beer
loaded long time, and it is supposed
that the cap had become so covere'
with rust that Freddie took it 70
granted that there was no load in il
and thought he would frightel
Tommy by swapping the hamme
down"
