The p. O. S. of A. of Jamestown,
No. 5o3. is new camp that was form
ed last May. 1t numbers 81 men,
bers which is a good beginning. The
Berwick camp which is one of the
strongest and best in the state render
eel us proper assistance in our forma-
ton. We set out under favorable
auspices. We hope to augment our
numbers weekly and monthly till we
can rival many of our sister camps.
Knowing and realizing that our camp
is founded upon the immortal and
immutable principles of truth, self
protection, liberty and the welfare of
Our country, We feel confident we will
succeed. in order to acquire some
means for better quarters, a proper
hall and furnished, we held a festival
on Saturday night last in our beautl-
ful grove near the town, a grove we
have nicely prepared for all such oc-
casions along the beautiful Hunting
ton creek. Strangers remark that
there few parks in the state its equal.
We propose to carry on Improvements
to completion, and our park will speak
for itself.
We made ample preparations for
the festival, securing Bendertown band
that gave us fine music and we made
ready sale of our ice cream, cakes,
confections &c. besides realizing good
pay from our ''merry-go-around' run
by waterwheel placed in the creek.
We return thanks to the public for
their kind patronage. We had en-
gagged speakers, Prof. Coughlin, Supt.
schools Of Wilkesbarre and f. J. Bow
man of Berwick, at present at Forks.
Mr. Coughlin did not make his APP
pearance, but Mr.. Bowman was on
hand and gave us two most excellent
addresses in the afternoon and at
night. The audience at night was
large and was delighted and instructed
at the many proofs and truths he gave
at the retrogression of the Republic
and the perils of our nationality. His
addresses made marked impression
and we feel confident they will be a
| powerful assistance as to the prosperity
and progress Of the order. Would
that many more could have heart
them. Mr.. Bowman is regarded as a
very eloquent and able speaker on al
most any subject, but few in the state
and anywhere else his superiors.

From the Williamsport Republican,
of a recent date, we extract the fol-
lowing:
"The Williamsport & North Branch
railroad has concluded to extend its
line from Nordmount north by the way
of La Porte to connect with the Le-
high Valley near Bernice. The inn
portance of this move will be noticed
when it is known this will shorten the
distance from Towanda to Williams
port fully one half. The route of the
extension has already been surveyed
over one Of the picturesque parts Of
Pennsylvania. A part Of the line will
be 1900 feet above tide and through
some of the most beautiful natural re-
sorts ever gazed upon by man. 1t is a
new country entirely, almost unknown
to civilization ard once the railroad IS
completed it will be known as the
most picturesque and interesting route
in the State. The work on the new
line will be started without delay"

BLOOMSBURY. PA, FRIDAY, AUGUST r. 1892

trial of sixteen years, no one is able TO
compute the delegates, and the author
of the riles must be called in to ex-
plain. then he agreed with the former
gentlemen that it is high time the
rules were revised. A vote was called
upon the pending motion, the chair
decided the motion lost, and called up
the Reading clerk to proceed with the
call of townships and the instructed
vote on the re-cast which was as fol-
lows:
A. l. Fritz, As and five sixths.
Guy Jacoby, SO and one sixth.
r. G. +. Kshinka, 2.
c. M. Blaker, I.
Mr.. Fritz having received majority
of the Convention vote was declared
the nominee of the Convention. Cheer
after cheer followed the announce
ment Of the result.
A Resolution was offered fixing the
time for holding the delegate meeting
the third Saturday in June, but as a
large number of the delegates left the
Court room when the result for Rep
resentative was announced, the resolu-
ton was withdrawn and the Rules re-
manned as at present.
Immediately after the adjournment
Of the Convention, the Standing COM
mittee were called together to select a
chairman. There was considerable
interest manifested in this as several
committeeman sent substitutions, and
all were present except Samuel Snyder
of Mifflin township. ]. w. Perry OF
Sugarloaf nominated G. B. Ent OF
East Scott, and G. B. Robbins ol
Bloomsbury, nominated Jas. II. Mer
Ger of Bloomsbury A call of roll re
suited in vote of II Tor Ent and aI
for Mercer A motion was made and
carried that the chairman appoint his
own secretary--hc Immediately select
ed &. E. Robbins as Secretary.
One of the committeeman made g
motion that all candidates nominated
be assessed 4 sufficient amount fol
campaign expenses and that no name
be placed on the ticket until the
amount assessed be paid. Immediate
ly there were cries of ''name the mer
who did not pay promptly" There
were no names mentioned, but from
the discussion which followed 1t il
| plain that the County chairman ha
difficulty in collecting money from can
didates and must usually foot the bill
from his individual funds and hope t
be reimbursed by frequently dunninl
the candidates. If the candidates wh'
get the spoils Of the Office do not pa
toward the campaign expenses, VIII
can be expected to pay. The Stand
ing committee adjourned with re
solve to give Grover Cleveland large
democratic majority than has ever bee
polled by any candidate in Columbi
county.

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
MAN KICKED BY HORSE-A LITTLE
GIRL FATALLY BURNED-A YOUNG
MANS LEG CUT.

Monday was day of accidents. In
the afternoon the little three years old
daughter of George Hassert was play
ing in the yard a. home on Fourth
Street. w. F. Hartman, the plumber,
who was doing some work in the bath
room, left a charcoal stove in the yard,
and he and his assistant went up to
the bath room. In some way the
childs clothing came in contact with
the stove, and its screams summoned
assistance, but not until the child was
badly burned. About four O'Clock
Wednesday morning the child was
token with convulsions, and died
at six o'clock.

On Monday evening DR.. Winner
was kicked in the head by horse be-
longing to c. f. Welliver, while he
was operating on one Of its hind feet.
Proper precautions had been taken to
hold the horse, but he kicked suddenly,
striking the doctor in the head and
cutting him badly. He was rendered
insensible, and continued so for some
time. DR.. Gardner was called in and
dressed the wound. Fortunately
the skull was not cracked, as was at
first feared, and the Doctor will soon
be around again. 1t occurred at the
livery stable in the rear Of the Cen
tral Hotel.
On Monday afternoon, John Hi
miller, who works for f. A. Rawlings,
while at the slaughter house between
here and Espy, took backward step
and struck his leg against the point of
sharp knife that projected out of a
bucket, point-hrst. 1t cut deep cash
which had to be sewed up, John was
out again next day.

FARMERS ALLIANCE.
ALLIANCE NOTES.

81 wish that Mr.. Carnegie had not
sent that dispatch from his Scotch cas-
tie congratulating me upon my nomi-
nation. He is my friend, but lacks dis
erection. "-B. Harrison.
The calamity howlers" have been
telling you right along that things
were out of joint Their declarations
have been most decidedly emphasized
by the tragic events at Homestead.
"A Carnegie becomes a multi-mil-
lionaire. All his wealth was produced
by labor. Those who produced it are
but one degree removed from pauper-
ism. Away with such system of rob
berry.
Judging from the editorial denun-
citation of the Pinkertons, which is now
common among the plutocratic dailies,
one would conclude that the chief
grievance of the workingmen in the
Homestead murder cases was that they
were not permitted to choose their
slayers Economist.
This Homestead fight is but rum
bling of the coming revolution; that is
to say, whether Wall street shall or
shall not control the country If it is

and we claim for the laborer the right
to permanent employment during
good behavior, though he is certainly
compelled to submit to the changes of
business Where the profits are small,
the parties must divide the losses;
where the profits are large the profits
may be divided. That is the exact con-
dition; that is the exact law to-day, as
l maintain, because the law is the
perfection of reason, and we have seen
the law built up step by step.
"lrecollect in 1889 | was compelled to
hold that the legislature of Illinois had
no right arbitrarily to fix the rates for
the carriage of passengers by railways,
and was compelled to hold that the rail-
road companies had no arbitrary right
to nix them, but that it was a question
of reasonableness on both sides 1t
was then claimed by the railroad cor
poration that rights were absolutely
uncomfortable. The same principle
must now be applied to the solution
of these troubles"

employment of Pinkerton thugs, the
very scum of this country sending them
to Homestead to shoot down American
workingmen, without the least shadow
OF law to sustain such procedure! The
Pinkertons themselves do not pretend
to have had any authority whatever in
going to Homestead, except that they
were hired to 60 there by Carnegie.
Again we say, Carnegie has not lived in
vain. His bold attempt to crush Amer
lean workmen was necessary to open the
eyes of many men who have never given
one moments calm, deliberate thought
to the conditions of labor and our ten
denotes as nation toward plutocracy.
This overt act in sending 800 armed men
without the shadow of law to sustain
such move, to fire upon and kill work
ingmen, guilty of no crime, but earn
estly contending for the right of exist
ence, is bold menace to the liberties
of the people that has aroused them as
they have not been for years, and if we
can judge of the temper of the people
by the voice of the press plutocracy
sealed its doom at Homestead-it is the
commencement of the end. We repeat,
Carnegie may not have lived in vain

THE WAY OUT.
Labor Must Find Relief In Voting For the
PeODle's PARTY

Peoples Party.
Hon. Tom Scott lives in Pennsylvania.
He is millionaire, manufacturer and
coal baron. He is also, and has been
for years, a democratic representative
in congress Some time ago when speak
ing of labor, and the cries of the laborer
for bread, coupled with threatened
strikes, he said:
Give them 1.-THE laborers) the rifle
diet for few days and see how they
will like that kind of bread" And
further on he said: 81 tell you there is
too much freedom in this coun try rather
than not enough
That was Millionaire Tom Scott,
democratic representative in congress
from Pennsylvania. To-day Millionaire
Carnegie, of the same state, formerly a
Scotch baron, who owns a baronial
castle in Scotland, is carrying out the
suggestions of Tom Scott, and irving
to convince labor that she has been en-.
joying too much freedom, by giving
labor rifle diet" in answer to her
call for bread. Carnegie is devoted
follower of republicanism, and as such
is following out the advice of Ton
Scott, devoted worshiper of Cleveland
democracy.
Around his immense iron manufact
cries at Homestead he has builded ar
immense stockade. A fifteen-foot in
closure, at the top rows of wire charged
with deadly dynamos, every seven fee
frowning port hole, there made I,
shoot down and shock to death his EN-
ployes should they insist on Twin,
wages Inside the Enclosure are cars O
hot water provided with hose to scalC
the working men. In every large cit
in the union are thousands of Pinkerto1
thugs, hired by plutocracy, read,
at the beck and call of the EN-
ployer to 60 and shoot dow
labor This is free America
where we have too much freedom
This is the place where flourishes tw,
great Notwithstanding and repub
licanism-which literally love labor
Yet in the face of all this labor, in it
grand, sublime strength, has van
quished the plutocrats and their Hes
sian hirelings in one pitched battle
This must end. The battle of ballot
must end it. God Almighty will no
allow the blood of labor to moisten tn,
ground fighting TO right cruel wrong
In His goodness we believe he will LEAF
all men to see the truth and arm labo
with ballot this fall TO vote for tn,
peoples party platform and life, anc
avoid the sacrifice of od.-Marshal
Mo Alliance Waterman.
