Patriotic Words.

The regular Democratic State Con-
verrtion of Massachusetts held its ses-
sion in Boston, on the eth, inst. Hon.
I.everitt Saltonstall, gave utterance to
the following truthful and patriotic
words:
Let the Republicans sEy what they
please of instances of wrong doing by
the Democrats, nothing could atone
for the foisting of II President into Of
flee against a clear majority of three
hundred thousand by tie people. He
who was President for two terms and
made his administration more and
more infamous is likely TO be candi-
date again. Those who opposed him
three years ago have forgiven the great
detamer uf Chase and Sumner, but
Democrats stand firm, with true and
tried men as candidates. Successful OF
unsuccessful, tLey will do the State
and country patriotic service.

The Same Story Over Again.

where she would have nothing to do
but PICK flowers, dress her hair and or

the alleged bigamist, Charles III. Boy
Ian, promised Catharine Mclaughlin,
a pretty damsel of eighteen, in order to
induce her to become his wife. The
reality, after marriage, was dismal

Qnenently shanty in Morrisania. But
the worst part of the disenchantment
was the revelation that Boylan already
had wife living from whom he had
not been divorced. The experience of

The Pittsburgh Riots.
4 Decision Of the Supreme Cour {
Making the County Liable
for Damages.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 6.-After the
smoke and excitement of the fearful
July riots of 1877 had passed away
from Pittsburg the question "Who is
to pay the bill for all this?" became an
all absorbing topic. Suits were brought
against the county by large number
Of persons under an act Of the Legisla-
ture passed in 1871, which makes the
county liable for damages doue by a
mob. 1t was held by number of lead.
ing lawyers that the non-residents of
the State who owned property which
was destroyed could not bring suit un-
der this act. To test the matter, two
suits were instituted against the coun.
ty, one by a resident and the other by a
non. resident. Owing to the fact that
it was impossible to get a jury here,
the cases were tried in Beaver county,
and verdicts against the county were
obtained in the Common Pleas Court.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court of the State, and the cases were
argued at great length last winter, ex-
Chief Justice Agnew being the leading
counsel for the county. Judge AgneW
argued that the act of 1S4l had been
abrogated when the new constitution
was adopted in 1874.
To-day Justice Paxon of Philadel-
phia rendered the decision of the Coult
in long and exhaustive written opin.
ion. He sides with the plaintiffs
throughout. He holds that the act of
1911 is still in force, and that the couns
ty is liable for all the damage that was
done by the mob, ana that suits can be
brought and the amount of the losses
recovered by those who suffered. This
sweeping opinion has caused sensa-
ton here. An estimate of the losses
which this decision will render the
county liable for, cannot he made with
much precision, but they will reach
nearly $4,GO0,000. 1t is thought that
an attempt will be made to compromise
the matter to save the county from
further costs. There WAS not dis
senting opinion to that hled by Judge
PaXon.

SUNBURY, Oct. 9.-Sunbury, which
had not had hanging since 1902, was
excited to-day over the prospective ex.
ecution of Peter McManus, con victed
of the murder of Frederick He5ser in
1874. BY the morning pagers from
Harrisburg it was learned that O'Neil
had been respited until November 9th.
At an early hour people began to con.
gregate around the Jail, and by IL "A
about 5000 people had found th cir way
into the Jail yard to witness the tragic
event. In the morning McAIauus re-
vised the statement made on Tuesday
before, TO three Catholic priests, Dis
trict Attorney Dewart and George B.
Rem, one OF his counsel. He made
but few alterations, and when asked
by Rev. w. I'll. Gotwald, OF Milton,
whether it was his dying testimony
and whether it was the truth, he re.
Piled 'Yes, sir, and would give just
the same if was dying" In his
statement McManus claims entire. in.
nocence for himself and O'Neil. and
charges the murder OF Hesser on Den
mis- +. Canning, Edward Rhodes and
others.

Possibly Another Raber Case.
Sudden Death Of q Poor Old Man
whose Life was Insured for
$4,000

LEBANON, Pa, l2.-About two
weeks ago David Long, poor man,
aged about 55 years, and living alone in
little shanty in North Lebanon, was
taken sick with what was pronounced
typhoid fever, and after an illness of
about one week he died on Sept. 25.
and was buried the following Sunday
in the United Brethren Church GENE
terry near by. After his death applca-
tion was made to the insurance COM
panies by persons holding policies on
the old mans life to have them paid.
These payments have been refused by
some of the companies until the cir
cumstances attending the death of
Long can be investigated, and for this
purpose his body is to be exhuned this
W r1orI5S Sr5 fr15--rcd for &C, ONO IN
the United Brethren Company; also in
the Home Mutual and other cJmpanies
for various amounts. The full amount
he was insured for is said to be about
10000. Among those holding policies
are several leading citizens of this Dor.
ough, and oil this account the aff liz
has been kept quiet. Long at one time
was in good circum ,tanc s, but through
dissipation became involved and lost
his property, which was bought by
Jonathan Umberger, who built Long
the shanty in which he died. His wife
died several years ago, leaving daugh'
ter who ran away from her husband
