The new Episcopal church which
is being erected of stone at Eagles
Mere collapsed on Tuesday last.
The structure.was nearly inclosed.
The tower which was 80 feet high
and built of stone fell to the ground.
Where once stood the frame of n
beautiful church is now the scene Of
a huge pile of stone. Fortunately
working men were not engaged on
the building at the time owing to
rain which came down in torrents
We have heard of but one cause as
signed for the misfortune-poorly
constructed Considerable ill-luck
has overtaken the building contract
or of said building. Only short
time ago we recorded a sad accident
by an arch falling, resulting in break
ing Aaron Benefits leg and injur-
ing several other employees on the
building. La Rue NIunson Esq, OF
Williamsport was telephoned, re-
lative to the mishap and will visit the
same at once.

If the Gazette can be believed
there is no longer Democratic or
Republican party in Sullivan coun-
ty. 1t does not claim the defeat of
Lawrence was q Republican defeat.
1t does not claim that the electing
of Utz was q Democratic triumph.
1t says plainly that the defeat OF
Lawrence was only the defeat of the
Ingham ring. The success of Utz
was the success of the Doodle ring.
And if the Gazette is to be credited
personal merits had nothing to do
with it, for now that the election is
over, that paper lands VIM. Law
renee and Lawrence Brothers very
highly. IF Democratic principles
had nothing to do with it, and per-
sonal merits had nothing to
do with the result what is the infer
ence? Capital and capital alone has
triumphed over Honest labor.

His clothes were torn from his back

$3.50.

]
koma Land Company has been
anxious to lower the water i'll Lake
Mokoma in order that they might
make some much needed improve
ments at the head waters OF the
Lake-by cutting down trees brush
&c, which at present is to some ex-
text overfowed with water. TO ac-
complish their undertaking, it was
necessary to take the valve oil the
main waste gate, which is made of
large sewer pipe. Atty. Clinton
Lloyed telegraphed VIM. Meyer
general superintendent of the Lake
property, some days past to remove
the valve. Mr.. Meyer endavored
to comply with his request but
found it impossible for some unac-
countable cause. The valve is
buried in water to the depth of IL
or s feet with a lever attached ex-
tending several feet out of water.
Mr.. Meyer notified Mr.. Lloyd of
his fruitless undertaking. Mr.
Lloyd at once sent word that he
would send "diver" up and that he
would go down to the bottom of the
lake and make right the difficulty.
The day set apart for the arrival of
this (unlike event to take place in the
wilds of Sullivan) was Monday last.
Everybody was anxious to see the
feat performed and many watched
on the street crossing to see if the
noon stage bore the man to our
midst who would dive into the cold
waters of Lake Mokoma at this
season of the year for love or money.
To their surprise the supposed man
came and alighted from the vehicle
at the Mountain House where he
Registered for the day. After he
had partaken of a hearty dinner he
proceeded to the Lake. No sooner
had the heavy weight (for he was
two hundred and twenty-five pound
err disappeared over the hill when
several of our people, viz: Atty. +.
NJ. Dunham, A. Walsh, DR.. Hill and
Chas. Tinklepaugh left in great haste
for the, lake to see the feat
performed. DR.. Hill was extremely
anxleus and was the first man to
answer present on the ground,
whether he thought there would be
coroner's inquest held or not, can
only be revealed by himself. After
remaining on the shore for time
in the cold drizzling rain they by
chance learned that the gentleman
present was not the person whom
they had took him to be but that he
was the proprietor Ola Gas Fix'rs and
Plumb establishment IN Williamsport
Geo. Croll Esq, who had come up
to make Investigations. The boys
on learning this remarked that they
had business home that required
their immediate attention. On their
arrival to the city they were reminds
ed-Did you ever get left
LATER.-President Lloyd has
ordered that there be cotfer-dam
built around the waste gate and the
repairs made. Mr.. Croll will re-
main and oversee the construction
of the same.

The letter written by Hugo of
Elkland, published in the Gazette
last week, commenting upon the
letter written by us to said genie
men during the eve of election,
plainly sets forth that he wishes the
voters of Elkland to knGw that he
runs that township on election day.
He says: | did my duty as l hope
the returns of Elkland will show.
Voters of Elklahd this is a compli-
ment to you and you will no doubt
appreciate it. In this section OF the
county should a man make an as
sertion of this kind he would receive
cold shoulder from the independ-
ent voter at future elections. MIR
Hugo may meet with like indepen-
dence in the future. So far as our
letter to Hugo is concerned we do
not deny one word OF it. The facts
of the circumstance was-Hugo was
absent from home and we took this
plan of informing him of what we
had learned and the result should he
violate the election law.
For the information of those who
have not seen the letter we publish

commerce operates here as elsewhere-he
who will pay the most for the least in
the beginning will receive the most for
the least in the ending.
Instead of sending to the Haytien en-
bassies of peace bearing greetings, good
will and hands filled with presents, we
send them men-of-war, whose quarter
dech is trod by no black officer, clad in
the insignia of rank and power, whose
commander, in the blunt manner of the
old salt, speaks plain, and sometimes pro-
fame, English as to his demands, which
must not be questioned, debated or
denied
Hayti sends to our capital one of her
most able and distinguished citizens as
Minister -Plenipotentiary and Envoy-EX-
traordinary, and we, in violation of that
unwritten international custom and
courtesy which allows weaker State to
determine the rank of the representative
which we shall send her by the grade of
the one whom she sends us-appoint,
what might be termed, little more than a
mere consular officer to represent us at
her Capital and then reduce his pay to a
parsimonious and stinted allowance, be-
sides accrediting him to neighboring
Republic on the principle of killing two
birds with very small stone.
Professor Langston is quite right as to
the paramount Importance that we should
have harbor facilities and coaling sta
tions in or near Hayti whenever the
trans-continental canal shall have become
fact. That, however, is a question for
future consideration and has nothing to
do with the appointment of a Commits
sion, or of a Minister resident to Hayti
at the present time.
There are many reasons why the kind
est feelings and the most cordial rela-
tions should then exist between us and
Havti: reasons which would then make
the diplomatic post at Hayti the most
important in South or Central America.
Our merchants in New York and Bos-
ton will look in vain for the annexation
of Hayti or the event of quasi protec-
torate being established over it which
will give them the lucrative trade of that
rich island.
1t will never come until we as whole
people are ready and willing to treat the
Haytiens in all respects personally and
politically just as the French treat them
l believe that the appointment of SC
eminent citizen as the Honorable Fred
erick Douglass as Minister resident tC
that country is an earnest that we have
started in that direction; and | rely upon
the commercial m0tiCe so well expressed
in the distich of James Russell Lowell in
the BigelOw papers, to complete the per-
formance of the purpose thus manifested.
