1,027, 700 tons, against 974.S 500 tons during the

To Wed His Vile Again.

ST JOSEPH, Mo. June George
Davenport, Of this city, will be mar
ried to his wife second time at
Columbia in a few days. 1t is
another Enoch Arden story. When
Davenport went into the army he
lived on q small farm, ten miles
south of Columbis. He was wound.
ed at Shiloh and left on the field to
die, but recovered after an illness of
more than year. Several years
after his wife was married to John
Smallwood, a friend Of her youth,
and lived with him until he died.
Davenport wandered to California,
where he lived nearly thirty years,
and finally drifted into the Soldiers
Home at Leavenworth. After leav-
ing the home he came to this city.
A few weeks ago he read some-
thing in Q newspaper which convinc.
ed him that his son was alive. He
went to Columbia and found that
his wife, too, was alive. Itwas some
time before he could convince her
of his identity. They have decided
to remarry at once.

WASHINGTON, June 2-There is q
cherished bundle Of hickory sticks
at the State Department, every one
cut by Secretary Gresham with his
own hands, and designed by him as
mementoes for presentation to
friends. All of them were obtained
from the abundant timber in the
grounds of the Presidents country
place at Woodley.
One of these sticks the late Secre-
tary gave to Postmaster General
Bissell, just before his retirement,
and another to Private Secretary
Thurber, and third. to Edward s.
Renick, the Chief Clerk Of the State
Department.
In each case the Secretary with
perhaps some premonitation of what
was impending, said to the recipient
81 want you tofkeep and use this
stick in remembrance of me-"
The bundle which still remains a,
the State Department will be polish
ed and mounted and presented te
some OF Mr.. Gresham's closes
friends.
It was Mr.. Gresham's q intention tc
have them prepared, but he delayed
doing SO because, as he told one o
his friends, that "the man who fixeG
them for me won't take any none,
for it, and don't want to give hin
all this work without seeing som,
way of reciprocating."
The sticks are naturally very high
" priced, partic ularly as most o
them were cut in the short interva
between Mr.. Gresham's FIRST attac
and his last illness,

The County Commissioners award
ed the contract of grading the court
house yard to Stewart Chase of La
porte and George Ferman Of Straw
bridge, on Thursday of last week.
The contract price is 29d cents a
yard. Just how much Of the yard
the Commissioners intend to grade,
we are not prepared to say. Have
understood though, that they will
extend the slope about fifty feet on
either side of the court house build
ing. It is to be hoped, however,
that this rumor is not correct and
that the Commissioners will extend
the grade to the fence on the North
West and East side. The county
office building would interfere with
a change on the South side.

The Tunhhannock Neao Age re-
marked last week that it is said in
that vicinity that at least $50 Dun-
ham votes would be thrown out rs a
result of the contest, in Sullivan
county. This saying is all bosh.
The attornies for the respondent do
not apprehend that there will be any
such result in Sullivan county and
we are quite sure that they are in a
position to know equally as much
about the outcome of the case, as are
the atJornies for the contestant. In
our opinion it is all foolishness for
anyone, we care not whom he repre-
sents, 10 say how many votes will
he thrown out. How can HE come
to a conclusion as to the opinion OF
the judges regarding defective
affidavit ?
The Dunham side Of the case is
vet to be heard in Sullivan county
and it is presumed that there will be
few Sittser votes thrown out in
consequence. The attornies for the
respondent say that Durham will
come out ahead in Sullivan county
,ulo,, &Lo o,J 20 ,oo ohaJ
AS to Wyoming county we hear
that the entire vote in two townships
will be thrown out, because the elec-
tions were held in buildings other
than were ordered by the court;
similar to Colley township in Sulli-
van county. One of these precincts
gave Durham IL majority and the
other gave Sittser Al majority.
Judge Sittser also won in Colley
twp, by majority of IL, hence,
Judge Dunham will gain Al votes
as result of this one teohnioality of
the law.
We are also informed that there
will be large number of Sittser votes
thrown out for one cause in Wyom-.
ing county. We deem it advisable
however, to withhold the cause at
this time. The informant to the
attornies for the respondent, is posi-
lively reliable and there cannot be q
shade of doubt but that his words
will prove true.
There is no fiction in this article,
we have given facts as have been
stated to us and we have every reason
to believe that it is true.

The sidewalks around the court

The sidewalks around the court
house square should be rebuilt. A
good part of them are dangerous to
walk upon. 1t is the duty of the
Town Council to notify the County
Commissioners of the neglected
pavements and order said officials
to make them good. An appeal Of
this kind might save for the Boro,
bill of damages. The Commits
sioners, or rather the county would
then be the defendant, in case suit
is brought for damages.

IOIu tLt 0CIdutOn AAtOohV,
Judge r. W. Archibald and Court
Stenographer II. II. Coston returns
ed Friday from Laportc, Sullivan
county, where the judicial commits"
sion had been during the week TAX
ing testimony in the Sittser-Dunham
contest. The testimony of the con,
testants in Sullivan county was fin
ished on Thursday.
Judges Rice, Archibald and Searles
were appointed to hear evidence in
the case, but their commission pro-
vides that they must sit in Sullivan
county. The judicial district con-
sists of Sullivan and Wyoming
counties, aud in order that the wit
nesses from Wyoming will not be
forced to travel over to Laporte, the
Judges have appointed Mr.. Coston
commissioner to take testimony in
Tunkhannock on June IT. The
commission could not sit and take
testimony in Tunkhannock for the
reason before given, but the judges
will go there and look on so that
they can observe the character of
the witnesses, but they will be there
not in an official capacity.
Mr.. Coston will take the contes-
tants' testimony on June II and ID,
and that of the respondent on June
10 and 20. On June 81 the coms
mission will sit at Laporte and hear
the testimony Of the respondent In
Sullivan county.
An interim of perhaps week or
more will then elapse and time will
be fixed when the judges will count
the ballots that were cast for each of
the judicial candidates at the last
election. Judge Durham, the re-
spondent, is now sitting on the bench
having received his commission. He
had majority OF twenty.nine votes
over ex-J udge Sittser.

In llsnsr ol tke noldier Dead.
The custom Of honoring the dead
heroes Of nation 10 not original
with this country, but It is in u
general measure q renewal OF q bcau>
tiful custom established by the anci>
ent Greek. It was revived in this
country shortly after the close Of the
Civil War, and in 1868 Commander
in Chief, John A. Logan, issued his
FIRST order to the Grand Army of the
Republic in the fines. literary effusion
that ever eminated in the order. 1t
was promulgated on May 6, 1868,
and the comrades every where have
ever since profited by his words:
"Let us, then, at the time appoint.
ed," said the order, referring to the
dead soldiers, "gather around their
sacred remains and garland the pass
sionless mounds above them with
the choicest flowers of spring; let us
raise above them the dear old flag
they sawed from dishonor, and let
us in this solemn presence renew
our pledges to aid and assist those
whom they have left among us, q

"1f other eyes grow dull and other
hands slack and other hearts cold,
ours shall keep it warm as long as
the light and warmth of life remains
to u.s."
Promptly at 8 a. M, May 3Oth,
the members Of the S. 8. Simmons
Post assisted by Sunday school
organizations and citizens proceeded
to decorate the graves of their old
comrades buried in the Sonestown
cemetery. The Sonestown drum
corps furnished music for the
occasion. NJ. W. Stevens Esq OF
Williamsport delivered tue address;
a copy of which was given for publi>
cation, but owing to it's length, we
were unable to give il space, The
address was very good. Mr.. Stew
ems Is a Sullivan county boy and
was reared in Davidson twp. The
Sonestown choir was present and
sustained their long won reputation
as songsters. For a small village
Sonestown has right to boast Of
much musical talent.
At 2 p. m. the Post and large
delegation OF citizens arrived at La
porte. Line Of march was formed
at the court house, from which the
delegation proceeded to the Moun>
tain Ash cemetery where the usual
ceremonies of the G. A. R. boys
were gone through with, after which
the graves of the dead soldiers were
strewed with flowers.
With this over the Post and
friends marched to the court house
where an able address was delivered
by A. J. Bradley Esq, which was
given marked attention. The sing
ing by the choir was very good.
The business places and few
private dwellings were nicely deco
rated with flags and bunting. Land
