Not True.

At public reception IN the Court
| House at Chambersburg on the even
ing Of August IA, Senator Delamater,
was asked by colored citizen, how
he explained the charges Senator
Emery made against him. Senator
Delamater replied. On April 1 last,
during my candidacy for the nomi-
nation, Lewis Emery, Jr-, made Ger
tain charges respecting nv honor as
citizen and Senator. Until now
L have refraiued from making public
reply. Prior to nv nomination /
claimed the right to make nv own
contest ia my own wav, and was con
tent 10 reply fer my yindication up
on my lifelong character and reputa-
tIon, built up IN n very active profss-
sIOual and business career IN North
western PennsvIvauia The enthu-
siastic and unanimous Endorsement
of my own county, the cordial sup
pOit of majority Of the delegates
elected from the country counties,
the exceptionally strong Endorsement
by citizens and business meu of Phil
adelphia, and finally, my nomination
by the Harrisburg Convention, all in
the face of these undenied charges,
had seemed to me sufficient answer.
The question now addressed to me
implies that continued silence on my
part NAV be misinterpretsd by Ger
tain good citizens whose affiliations
are with the Republican party. As
the candidate of tha. party, / cannot
allow its interests e. e prejudiced IN
the estimation Of any citizen by re
fusGl 10 answer any inquiry touching
my personal and official intergrlty,
and / take this occasion to enter my
most positive, emphatic and unequlv-
ucal denial Of each and every charge
preferred bv Senator Emery. SO that
| may be fully understood and that the
real questions of the hour may not
be obscured by personalities growing
ont of these attacks and that future
reference to his subject may be
avoided 1 enter this denial to all
charges bv whomsoever preferred
which sssail my honor as man or
my virtue aS Il citizen"

QUEER BELIEF
All of them are fatallsts, and firmly
believe that when they get the
straight tip from Allah, by u vision
or otherwise, that they must die at
once. Any delay would subject them
to no end of trouble in the future

The Coal OH Can Again.

Bedford Inquirer, August s: On
Saturday, last, Mr.. and Mrs. A. ID.
James, of Reinsburg, went to the
Methodist Episcopal church to help
arrange for festival, leaving their
Oldest laughter, Carrie, to take care
of things about the house. and also
her little 2-year old sister. About >
o'clock Carrie went INTO the kitchen
to prepare for supper. She built n
fire and finding it would not burn,
she at once resorted to the coal oil
can, pouring the oil on the wood in
the stove The oil ignited and the
can exploded filing the room with
fire. Her clothing caught and she
ran into the street III almost solid
sheet of fire, screaming and clapping
her hands, the flames extending from
three to f1ur feet above her head
The neighboTs ran to her rescue. bat
before they could get tue blazing
clothing from her she was 50 badly
burned that she only lived until Sun
day evening about 10 o'clock
Tho baby was not injured. although
surrounded by fire. but the room
and furniture was badly damaged
The house narrowly escaped destruc-
ton.
1t seems strange that these sad
warnings are not needed We will
venture prediction that Carrie had
seen her mother or some older pee
pie than herself start fire with coai
oil
