A Painful Accident.

Simon Poehlman, teamster in the en-
plop of Stewart q Montgomery. met with
a serious and very painful accident yes
terday. While driving out OF doorway
al the Lime association building on
Twentieth street he was caught in the
frame of the door in such manner that
he was terribly squeezed before the horses
could be stopped. He was picked up and
taken to his home in q buggy. where he
was attended by Drs. Bernhard and
Truesdsle, who found that he had sus-
tanned fracture Of the collar bone near
its junction with the breast bone, which
is a very rare occurance. He was made
as com Portable as possible, though he
was also =. 9ering from some bruises
about the head. He will probably not
be able to be about for some time.

a New Packet.

Such has been the success of the Lee
clede Packet company of Burlington in
running their boat, the Pauline, that the
company will put ON new packet on
the upper river which they have recent
ly purchased from Ohio river parties.
This packet will run out of Burlington
for the upper river with her upper termi-
nus probably at Book Island or Daven-
port, although her owners may conclude
to run her on the lower
river. The intention, however. is to
run an up river boat. The name of
the craft is Matt F. Allen, large full
cabin packet. that was originally built
for the Cumberland river. and is believed
to combine the two qualities of speed and
light draft so pre-eminently necessary
for successfully navigating the upper
Missi ssippi in all stages of water. The
new boat is 145 feet in length and % feet
in beam. being nearly % feet longer and
eighth feet broader than the Pauline. A
better opinion of the boats size may
be gained from the fact that she is just
six feet shorter than the Josephine.

The remarks of NJ. j. McEniry. demo-

fore the county convention last Wednes-
day. though entirely impromptu, was a
mastery affair. The morning paper
having attempted to misconstrue Mr..
McEnirY's remarks, they are herewith
given in full:
1t is somewhat of a surprise to me to
be IN this manner unanimously chosen
by this deliberative assembly, the most of
whom have known for a great many
years and some from my infancy. 1 was
not an aspirant for this honor at your
hands but, nevertheless, fully eppre-
ciate your confidence in calling me to
make canvass before the people of this
county. The Office is one of the most
important in the county and that is con-
ferred by free people. did not de-
sire to become your standard bearer in
this contest. have repeatedly advised
my friends not to urge my selection nor
to allow my name to be presented. l am
not an Office seeker. 1 prefer very much

me so long, and during this time l never
was known to shirk duty, when
called l shall accept. appreciate the
fact that never since was born was
there a candidate elected on the demo-
cratic ticket in this county on what is
known as presidential election. So the
task is not a small one, but with your
assistance | will canvass the county as
best we Can, and have considerable
faith in the liberality of thought in this
county, and candidates and principles are
weighed as they are and not what Ger

pie believe they are.
Not having sought this nomination, /
have made no bargain, barter, trade OF

no political party, class, clique, faction,

All persons having business to conduct
with that official if it should be your hum

the county. "A public Office is public
trust" and if should be elected will be
thus guided.

THE FIRST BLOW OUT.
The Second Ward Flag Raising tn g
Occasion.
The Flambeaus Turn Out, Speeches
are Made, and the Faithful
Have q Great Time
Generally.

The great republican flag raising and
pow-wow took place as advertised at the
corner of Ninth street and Third avenue,
last night. The Sixth ward republican
club marched down to the Flambeau's
headquarters opposite Spencer Square.
line headed by Bleuers band, and
marched down to the scene of the flag
raising. The Flambeaus presented a
very neat appearance with their new OUT
fit, which was about the only thing that
broke the monotony of the dizzy perform
ance.
On arrival at the corner of Ninth street
Bleuer's band discoursed some
| music, and after hot
breath from the Flambesus, the stars
ald stripes were hauled up with cheers.
| Then the Plow Shop band played tara
rs boom-de, aye and J. B. Oakleaf of Mo-
line was introduced TO the large crowd
composed mainly of women and children
Oakleaf's remarks were of the free and
easy variety. He spoke of everything
from the deluge to the Johnstown food.
| and his speech abounded in such stsgger-
| ing statements as "show me a city where
vice and ignorance predominates, and
I'll show you democratic majority" He
| also touched On the woman's suffrage
| question and said they ought to be ale
| lowed to vote. and then became extreme
| ly personal by remsrking that his own
wife knew more than he did, but of
course the crowd didn't care anything
about that and Mr.. Oakleaf resumed his
seat shortly after.
W. 81. Gest was then brought forward
speech to the people of his own ward.
which was mainly devoted to calling the
peoples attention to the flag OF the free
| as it hung there in its pride. What
holds up that fag2" shouted Mr.. Gest, 3"
meaning, of course, that it was the grand
old party that did it, when kid over in
the dark yelled back, THE pole-can't
| you see?' and the cruel crowd laughed a
| loud gnffaw.
g. j. Seare was next trotted out and
he just cut large crimson-colored cash
clear around the Second ward. He laid
the democratic perty on his little dissect.
| ing table and to his own satisfaction, at
least, he just slashed it everyday. and
after he had finished there wasn't per-
son in the crowd that didn't believe but
that Searle had been born to save the
country.
M. N. Sturgeon had the duty assigned
him of breaking up the meeting, and he
walked right into his task with a
will. He told of the glorious achieve
ments of that party as it has oft been told
before, and of how it loved the laboring
man as no other party did before. His
remarks were quite extended, and he
closed with sweet good night, after
which l. D. Burgh thanked everyone
for their attendance. and the meeting

Liabilities in excess
of resources e1,775.9S 1912. 2.S8
And here are his remarks


1. There are included in the resources
at least 81, 800 of judgments not worth the
paper they are written on.
2. There are in the hands of former
treasurers and collectors amounts aggre-
eating over $15, 1000
3. 1t will be observed that the new
Board of Commissioners have found ii
considerably more expensive to advertise
in two papers, than the old Board did
in three. Previous to the advent of the
present Board all the people of the county
were allowed to examine its financial af-
fairs, now that pleasure is denied that
portion OF the people who prefer an in
dependent to political paper and the
denial costs the taxpayers As per cent.
more money.
4. In 1890 it was necessary to expend
$25 for extra clerk hire, and in 1891 this
was made the excuse for 5000 Increase in
the salary of the clerk.
B. In 1890 the three commissioners at
tended the Commissioners State Conven-
tion at an expense to the taxpayers of $40,
ard by rare economy the present board
scimped along on $125.
6. The $31 4 45 increase In the amount
paid Commissioners for services is probab-
ly accounted for by an increase IN the per
diem allowance
Z. In 1890 there was $1140O paid for
Coroner's inquests-an expense the pres
ent board has not been called upon to
meet In 1890 the necessary expenses for
bridges were $8S8.83, while this item in
1891 called for $500 40 less money. In the
item of Boarding Prisoners there was a
saving of $89. 90 this year. In the matter
of Commonwealth costs the Commis-
sioners were called upon to pay $483. .46
less money in 1891 than in 1890.
Taking everything into consideration
the total expenses for 1891, instead of
being $111. "a in excess of those of 1890,
should have been at least $500 lower.
Wedo not desire to uniustly criticise
anyone. The present Board of Commis-
sioners are all inexperienced in the con-
duct of public affairs. and have probably
prohted by this years experience, and will
undoubtedly be able to retrench and hold
county expenses down to a proper level
during 1892.
In answer to the first--we will say,
and the tax payers will most as
suridly Join with us-that the county
commissioners are not to blame for
worthless notes held by the county
against convicts for cost &C., who
have been released from Jail for the
past years.
We admit that majority OF this
paper is worthless, while some are
good. Only recently the county
was awarded part payment on one
of these instruments, hence, a con-
vict's note condemned by Newell
might prove equally as good as one
with the signature of the Re8seso
mans name on. Our five thousand
readers will bear with us in this
statement.
No. g. The county com. are
using all honorable means to
collect moneys due from Ex.Co.
Treas. Lofah and collectors. The
case of Sullivan Co. VS. Lorah was
heard in court last term, but up to
date Judge Sittser has not fled his
decision in the case. What more
can the com. do in this matter? In
reference to the collectors-our at
torney has brought suit, against

1891 WAS 1881. There were more
physicians among them than repre-

they endure and the suffering that

seem to have very depressing ef-
