the Race for OAico

the Race for Once.
The Democratic convention at Mauch
Chunk on Monday was not an unusually
lively affair, though the attendance was
large, delegates being present from every
district In the county. On the surface
there appeared to be no intrigue, unless,
perhaps, II is not to develop until next fall
a year, when a half dozen nominations are
to be made; this is Editor Malloy's opinion
of it, especially in the case of Zern, who is
again Senatorial asplrant. having with
drawn from the judgeship race.
The convention was called to order by
County Chairman Lentz and its objects
stated, when, on motion, John Quinn, of
Lansford, was unanimously elected presi-
dent; j. j. Gallagher, of Beaver Meadow,
and John Hines, of Weatherly, vice presi-
dents; I. w. Clauss, of Leuighton, and
j. II. Lauer, of Lansford, secretaries. A
committee on credentials, j. w. Rauden-
bush, Lehighton; Daniel Canaan, Lehigh,
and A. II. Seidle. Mahoning, were ap-
pointed and the delegates reported, when
on motion of John Buss Brislin, seconded
by Manus Bonner, the convention ad-
lourned to meet again at half-past one.
Upon reassembing the president an
nounced that the credentials of the dele
gates from South Kidder, Packerton and
East Penn were irregular and the conyen-
ton, on vote, ruled the delegates out. The
machinery now being creased j. W. Raud-
enbush put in nomination Samuel B.
Price, of Mauch Chunk, for Associate
Judge, and a Weatherly delegate named
Enbody. The roll was called with SO of
the delegates out of so being for Price and
"a for Enbodv. On motion his nomination
was made unanimous. For District At
tornev there was only one candidate, JOS
eph s. Fisher, of Mauch Chunk, and his
nomination was made by acclamation.
For County Auditor, TO fill the uneXpired
term of Paul Wagner, resigned, John
Hines, of IVeatherly, was nominated with
out opposition.
Hon. j. W. Malloy, of Summit Hill;
Samuel Behler, of Mauch Chunk; w. H.
Reber, of Harrity; Joe Kleppinger, of
Nesquehoning; James Sweeney, of Sum-
NIT Hill; Henry Beineman, of East Mauch
Chunk, and DR.. j. G. Zern, of " eissport,
were nominated for delegates to the. State
convention next year. On ballot j. W.
Malloy and James Sweeney, of Summit
Hill, and Henry Beineman were elected.
Following short addresses by Samuel b.

Creek Valley, Carbon County (now part of
the borough of Summit Hill. At the age of
8 years he entered the breaker of the Lee

employed for the next three years. At the
age of twelve he moved with his parents to
the state of Missouri, where for the next
four years he was employed in farming, at
the expiration of which time the family re-
turned to Summit Hill. Mr.. Fisher then
youth of sixteen years, without even the
merest rudiments of an education, again
entered the coal mines and labored therein
| for the next four years, during which time
in addition TO his daily labor he acquired
sufficient education TO engage in school
teaching when he has barely attained the
age of 2l years, which occupation he sue
cessfully followed in his native township
until the year 1884, attaining the highest
grade of Teachers Certificate. In the veal

known as Nesquehoning, in Mauch Chunk
township, the 25th day of January, 1884.
He attended the common schools there and

study he graduated with credit. He passed
successful examination and taught the
young idea how to shoot from 1872 TO
1877. AT the county election in 1873 he
was elected a member of the State Assem-
bly, along with DR.. j. G. Zern. His first term
was so creditable that he was again taken
up by the Democracy and reelected for two
years. He distinguished himself while a
State Legislature for ability, and integrity
to the masses of the tax paying people by
voting against the Pittsburg riot steal OF
$4,000,000, thus saving $4,000 TO Carbon
county people. From. January 1885 to jan

able worker, and will make liye chairman

Death Of Mrs. Lille Wood.

A gloom was cast over the twin
cities Wednesday by the announc-
ment of the death of Mrs. Lille
Wood which occurred on that day
at 5 o'clock after a severe illness
of several weeks duration. Her
family and friends had looked and
hoped for ultimate recovery, but
in vain, death was inevitable.
Kind friends and the best medical
care and treatment was given her
but it all proved of no avail.
This news was received just
before going to press and we will
therefore be obliged to publish
her obituary notice in next issue.
The funeral service will take place
at the Cong'l Church Friday after
noon at two o'clock Rev. L. P.

Alfred Dodge ] cad.

We learn by wire from DIR. r. NJ.
Eames, of Seattle, Washington Ty. that
Mr.. Alfred Dodge, of this place, died at
Seattle on Wednesday the 10th inst, of
small pox. We have no farther partlc-
ulars as to his last illness.
Mr.. Dodge was born in New York
State, and was fifty years and two days
old when he died. He was married in
Wood county on January 18th 1873, just
sixteen years prior to his death. His
wife, Emma Houston Dodge, died in
this village three months ago and their
three children have been given home
with their mothers sister, Mrs. Z. I.
Wheelock. The children are Irving
Lionel, Alfred Liston, and Edgar
Wheelock Dodge, aged respectively II,
8 and years.
Mr.. Dodge was one of the early set
tiers of Taylor county. coming to Med
ford in the summer of 1874, and
entering the employ of Semple &
Whelen, then owners of the saw mill.
He was the first county clerk of Taylor
county, serving two terms in that office.
In 1876 he established himself in busi-
ness with f. A. Healy, the firm name
being Dodge & Healy. After several
years he sold cut to his partner and
purchased a farm in Clark county.
which he owned at the time of his
death.
After the death of his wife last fall,
his home being broken up, he seemed
for some time to be at a loss as to future
plans. At length he decided to visit
the far west and look for an opening
for business. This decision was made
in November, and since that time he
has regularly written to his boys,
describing for them the new country
he was visiting and twice he has written
to the writer of this, on business and
family matters. We had received no
hint of his illness, however, and the
blank, broad statement that he was
dead fell like thunCerbolt from a clear
sky.
Mr.. Dodge leaves some property,
how much we have no means Of know
ing, and his life was insured in the A.
O. U. W. and Masonic lodges. There is
enough to keep and educate the child
ren, but with father and mother gone,
who can fill their places?-Medford

The Lumbermen and Jobbers are

Rev. w. R. Fries, Of this place, was
summoned to Oshkosh last week owing
to the illness of his mother.
Last Saturday evening was one long
to be remembered, it being Mr.. and
Mrs. J. W. Cameron's twentieth we'd
ding anniversary A surprise party
was gotten up in honor of the occasion,
which was attended by goodly number
of their personal friends from Grand
Rapids, Centralia, Hansen and Sherry,
tegether with one or two from Appleton
and Neenah and quite sprinkling of
denizens Of this burg. Hon. Geo. L..
Williams was selected to act as chief
magistrate and spokesman who per-
formed the ceremony of uniting the
happy couple. The marriage ceremony
was very unique in style, conveying
wildly the modern idea of marriage
relations, which gave rise to general
outbreak Of laughter, after which, with
a few very appropriate remarks he pre-
sented the bride and groom elect with
a handsome china Tea Set as token of
respect from the assembled guests.
The party was a success, every one
seeming to have a jolly time.

EUCHRE PARTY.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. NJ. Pride entertained
small company last Saturday evening
at their residence in the second ward.
A delightful time was had by those
present striving to gain laurels at the
first table in a game of progressive
euchre. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Neeves
were successful in carrying away both
prizes, the former was honored with
what is commonly called the ''booby''
prize and the latter the first prize
as reward for being the best
player. This game was the occasion
for considerable merriment and sport.
The refreshments were fine and relish
ed by all. Those who were present
report it one of the most pleasant
parties given thus far this winter.
