Republican Convention.

The Republican County Convention .was
held in the Opera House Monday after
noon. The ifty-eight delegates were pres
ent. The chairman, Isaiah Hagenbucb,
being necessarily absent from the conven-
ton, j. G. Brown called the meeting to
order, and o. Il. Wilson of Bloomsbury,
was chosen chairman, with r. s. Bowman
Of Berwick, as secretary; c. s. w. Fox of
Numidia, and N. II. w. Brown of Miffiin,
were chosen as telers. The only real con-
test was for that of County Commissioner,
for which the Republicans had voted in.
structions on Saturday last. Eli Menden-
hall had so far beaten Joshua Fetterman
that the delegates considered it unneces-
sary to report the result of last Saturdays
vote, and moved to nominate Mr.. Menden-
hall by reclamation. There was some OBJ
lection to this motion, and new one
made, but not seconded, that the list of
delegates be called. At this point Mr.. c.
II. Zehnder of Berwick, stated that he was
authorized to withdraw the name of Joshua
Fetterman. A motion was then made to
nominate Eli Mendenhall by acclamation,
and was unanimously agreed to. L. ID.
Kase of Bloomsbury, was nominated for
Register and Recorder by acclamation !;
Rev. ID. Nj. Kinter Of Fishingcreek, Rich
ard Stiles, W. y. Holmes of Bloomsbury,
ann Chandee Ewes Of Greenwood, were
placed in nomination for Prothonotary.
The roll of delegates was called and gave
Kinter 30, Stiles 10, Holmes 5, and Ewes 5.
The tellers could not agree on the result of
the vote and the chair ordered another vote
to be taken, which resulted as follows {;
Kinter a. Stiles 81, Holmes 6, Ewes A.
Upon motion the names of Holmes and
Ewes were both dropped, and vote taken
upon the remaining two candidates giving
Kinter go and Stiles 30. The tellers again
could not agree upon the result, and the
chair ordered another vote. Mr.. j. G..
Brown then assisted the tellers, and the
fourth ballot gave each 90. Upon the fifth
ballot Mr.. Stiles received 80 votes and was
declared the nominee Of the convention.
L. F. Bower of Berwick, j. b. Yetter of
Catawissa and G. G. Evans were placed in
nomination for County Auditor. L. F.
Bower received g. G. c. Evans II and j.
b. Yetter Al votes. Upon motion the nom-
ination of Yetter was made unanimous.
The question was raised as to whether
nominations should be made for Represen-
tative, and it was suggested that they
would name full ticket or none. Chan,
dice w. Ewes of Greenwood and Samuel
Camp Of Locust received the nomination
by reclamation for Representative. An.
drew Fowler Brarcreek, was named for
Treasurer. w. E. Smith of Berwick, and
L. B. Guie of Catawissa, were appointed

Already the indications are satisfactory
that this will be not only the most COM

tural Society, but in addition the State
Poultry Society, the State Horticultural So
ciety, and the Philadelphia Kennel Clubs
will constitute varied attractions, which,
together with the State Bee.keepers' Asso

hitherto witnessed in this locality. Fine
herds of cattle, horses, sheep, and swine
large amounts of seeds, flowers, and ma

a Letter.

MEssRs EDITORS:
Dark as has been the cloud, and terrible
as has been the thunder, it is now hoped
that the sun will shine brighter than it ever
before shone.
Some reasons may be given for this hop
in the fiery furnace and the dross and all
other foreign matter set apart, we then
have purer quality than before the COM
mencement of the process. Secondly, the
dross and foreign matter are, or should be,
cast aside as nothingness.
A few weeks ago no person could have
made me believe that there existed in the
Democratic party Of Columbia county so
much corruption and rottenness as has
been shown for the few weeks last past |
say corruption and rottenness, because, if
all this scandal (money reports and whis-
key reports) which has been flying through
our country and other places is untrue and
unfounded, the contradictory oaths which
have been published in your columns, are
too abominable to be predicted to persons
belonging to the Democratic party.
1t seems to be human when man cares
for himself and fellow man, but not when
he cares all for himself and nothing for
his neighbor, The latter must have been
the principle upon which those who are
guilty must have acted. They must have
cared all for self and nothing for their
neighbor, their character or their party.
Such persons cannot be styled men. They
are mere animals walking on two legs and
wagging their jaws to make noise While
to the former class belongs those who are
innocent, and may clean conscience be a
healing salve to the infamous reports which
have been brought to bear upon them.
Moreover, should all these reports be un,
true and unfounded, there are some who
are not men, some who are not loyal oiti
zens of these United States-because tn,
antagonistic oaths which have been print
| ed in your columns, show that there ar,

The following letter has been sent by the
committee on Lunacy of the board of pub
lie charities of Philadelphia, to the physic-
ians throughout the state. Any informa-

ed.
Within the past year, two instances OF
cruel treatment of insane patients in charge
OF private parties, have come TO the knowl-
edge of the Committee on Lunacy. In one
case an old man was found naked, in an
clubhouse in very secluded part OF the
state, where he had been contied for more
than thirty years, chained by the leg. In
the other case neither the public nor the
committee had any knowledge of the in
humanity practiced upon an old man who
had likewise been chained for more than u
quarter of century; and it was not until
his death that the particulars were brought
out and made public.
In view of these facts, the object OF the
committee is to find out If any such cases
are known, or believed to exist, and IL so,
to send them to State Hospitals for the In
sane where they can receive humane and
proper treatment; and that if you have
any reason to believe any such insane are
concealed and badly treated, we will on
private intimation from you, investigate
such cases, and take the necessary steps
for their transfer. Amy commnnica-
ton will be, If desired, considered conf

Quite a number of our people assembled at

the female prohibitionist, of Kansas, who
is now travelling and laboring in this part
Of the State. The lecture was preceded by
music by the Jerssytown choir, and pray
er by Mr.. II. II. Stout. The lecturer be.
gan at eight o'clock by reading chapter
from the Bible. For about an hour the
people were treated to history Of blood
and money-a few words not in any way
complimentary to Blaine and Logan, and
many words in praise of st. John. The
lecturer says Blaine is bad man, and that

About four car loads of people took in the
excursion to Glen Onoko, and n large num-
Der went to Mt. Carmel TO witness the
game of ball between the Philadelphians
and the Reliance. The game was very in
teresting, and no doubt the home club sur.
prised the professionals with their fine
playing. The score stood eleven TO four
in favor of Philadelphia.

is the only sure way to get rid of them.

Quite u number of babies six months to

Ashelman's on Sunday last. Their inno-

some discordant baby music. And yet
indeed, it was lovely sight, subject for
much thought. A picture raro and pros

country's future, veal or woe, is destined
by their will or duty. Each and all, will
act an important part, though most OF them
are only buds of blooming beauty.

Locust Mountain water works.


The largest water works in this county,
and ono of the largest in the State, has just
been completed and put into operation in
the lower end of the county, one-half mile
north Of Montana. 1t was built by tho I.o.
Gust Mountain Company and is known as
the Locust Mountain Water Works. The
reservoir is 250x15O feet, and is deserving
of much credit to the contractor as fine
piece Of work. The water is pumped
through eightecn-inch column pipe from
dam in Brush Valley by two large pumps,
which have proved themselves more than
equal to their work, having, on their first
trial, given the water in the pipes such
pressure as to break them, and force its
way out through the top of the ground in
several places. Other and heavier pipes
brought TO the reservoir in the pipes fullest
capacity There are three nine-inch pipes
leading from the reservoir--one to Mt. Car
mel, distance of five miles, one to the
Centralia and Logan collieries and the
other to the Continental colliery, each of
the latter places being three miles distant,
The scarcity of water heretofore felt in the
Centralia valley during the Summer months,
and often causing the colliorles to suspend
operation, will be prevented hereafter by
this new water supply. The Mt. Carmel
line of pipe runs through Montana, Afford
ing all people in that place who wish to do
SO, an opportunity to take in water.

On Monday of last week Mr.. Charles
Conner in plowing on his farm near Orange
vile, turned up what proved to be part
OF human skull, Upon further investiga.
ton they found two human skeletons lying
side by side. The manner and location of
their burial, and the general appearance Of
their skulls would indicate that they were
white men above middle age and buried by
the whites. The fact that they were bur-
led near where once stood an old sugar
maple which contained peculiar marks and
the additional fact that no traces of cof-
fin, cloths, not even nail or button were
found, and as the Indians strip their vic.
tins, suggest the possibility that they are
the remains of Lieut.. Van Camps father
and uncle who were killed by the Indians
in 1880 about that locality while boiling
maple sugar. His brother was also killed
but was thrown into the fire and partly
consumed. The victims were subsequent
ly discovered by Col. Kelly's party, and
buried. The father of Jacob Melick ESQ.
Of Lightstrcet, was present at the burial
