Mr.. Lyon Says They Need No Holp In tho
lycOming Primaries.
Williamsport, July 29.-Howard Lyon,
chairman OF the Republican, county
committee in Lycoming, recently re-
ceived the following letter from Frank
Willing Leach:
Philadelphia, Pa, July "a, 1895.
Howard Lyon, Esq, Chairman Republi-
can County Committee. Williamsport.

My Dear Sir: Is Aug. II the date of your
primaries, or the county convention?
your primaries. Please advise me by re-
turn mail, and oblige, yours very truly,
Frank Willing Leach.
Mr.. Lyon naturally felt indignant at
what looks like an impertinent inter-
ference with politics in this county,
and at once mailed Mr.. Leach the fol-
lowing letter:
Williamsport. Pa, July q. 1895.
To Mr.. Frank Willing Leach.
Dear Sir: I am In receipts Of yours Of
oath inst, inquiring as to the date OF our
primaries" or the county convention"
and you add that what you particularly
desire to know Is the date Of our "pri-
maries." Just why you are interested in
the date Of the primaries In Lycoming
county arouses my curiosity.
I understand that you are q citizen of
Philadelphia, and desire to say our pri-
maries will be managed by our own peo-
pie, and you may as well be informed now
that Lycoming county Is for Hastings and
Gilkeson, and II you or any OF your agents,
foreign or domestic, are discovered within

what could be expected from men Of such
business methods as the members Of the
firm.
The publication Of the foregoing
choice ebullition Of littleness was no
doubt planned with a double purpose.
It was doubtless regarded as an Oppor-
tunity to punish the proprietOrs Of
"The Fair" for their temerity in re-
fusing to expend money on advertising
known by them to be productive Of lit
tie value; and also as a first class
chance to notify other Scranton firms
that unless they shall cravenly submit
TO the Republicans opportunities. they
may expect at any moment to be made
the targets OF similar scurrility.

BulldozinS SusQuchanna.

The Quayites are doing their level
best to capture the two SusQuehanna
county delegates by the customary
bulldozing methods so familiar in some
Of the other counties Of the state where
Quayism has been dominant in former
years. The Quay adhererts, under the
marshalship Of Samuel S. Wright and
Tommy Kilrow. are threatening with
political humiliation every Republican
who refuses to obey their arbitrary or
ders and fall into line for Quay and the
local machine. Wright AID Kilrow
have their paid agents ou: in nearly ev-
cry section Of the county appealing to
one class and thraater!ng another with
dire vengeance Wright AID Kilro'w
made the baxEain at the Wyoming
house in Sofanton to dellve- to Quay
the two SdsQuehanna delegates. That
bargain they are moving haven and
earth to fulfil, and Quay IS backing
them up with all the assistance they
require.
The self-respecting Republicans Of
Susquehanna county were at first re-
luctant to believe that even such reck-
less political schemers as Sam Wright
and Tommy Kilrow would have the
temerity, the audacity. to enter into
bargain and sale with Quay for the de-
livery of their representatives in the
state convention. The schemers who
entered into this disreputable agree
ment have not up to this time had the
courage to deny the charge If they
should deny it The Tribune is prepared
to give in detail everything that oc-
cnrred between the schemers and Sena-
tor Quax. in the latter's, room at the
wyoming housa ee weeks ago yester-
day. Such . recital OF facts would con-
stitute one Of the most shameless chap
tiers In susquehanna county politics.
On Saturday next the Republicans OF
susquehanna county. at their delegate
elections, will decide whether or not
they will deliver the delegates that were
sold to Quay at the Wyoming house
conference. II that bargain should be
consummated the Susquehanna Re-
publicans will cover themselves with
everlasting disgrace. The ratification
by them of the Wyoming house bargain
a.nd sale would be a confession that
are willing to commit themselves
pt protest to the arbitrary dicta-
y pair Of trading political schem-
e aims and purposes are all
6nd who are owned, body and
soul, by the corrupt state machine that
represents only Quayism and Cameron
ism.
The Susquehanna Republicans will
have an excellent opportunity to assert
their manhood on Saturday next. They
can repudiate the schemers who made
the Wyoming house bargain and declare
10 their party brethren throughout the
state that they are still their own mas
ters; that they will not permit them
selves to be sold out bag and baggage
bv . few selfish, pampered local poll
tfcians, who for a mess Of pottage are
willing to demoralize the Republican
party Of Susqueha ma. destroy all har-
niony. and give the Democrats long
coveted opportunity to attain power.
Let the self-respecttng Republicans OF
Susquehanna asgert themselves and de-
throne the corrupt schemers who have
undertaken to deprive them Of their
manhood.

Delegates must be urgently needed on
the Quay side when it Is deemed no un-
usual thing to send s1,10O Of the Quay
Cameron campaign fund into q small
county like Susquehanna. But the Re-
publicans Of Susquehanna are not on
the market, as Quay's agents, Wright
and Kilrow, will soon find out.

journalistic Blackmailing.

Two reputable young men, Messrs
Friend and Ruyl, recently entered into
a partnership in this city to conduct
an honest mercantile business. The
name chosen for their dry goods store
was 1.-The Fair" For a time they met
with success, but afterward encoun-
tered the prevalent business depression
and on Saturday Of last week were
forced to make an assignment. During
the period of their prosperity II. M.
Scranton, business manager of the
Scranton Republican. repeatedly ap-
preached them soliciting for advertis-
ing. Having already contracted for
space in The Tribune and the two
afternoon papers. thus effectually COW
ering the field, Messrs. Friend & Ruyl
declined to do business with the de-
caying Republican, and in consequence,
in Sundays issue of that journal, were
treated to the following specimen Of
Colonel Scranton's malice:
The failure Of the firm Of Friend & Ruyl,
which occurred yesterday, was not uncx-
pected, as rumors to the effect that they
were in deep water have been prolific
among business men for a number Of days.
The persons constituting the firm rented
the store rooms formerly occupied by q.
A. Fuller on Lackawanna avenue, ut the
corner Of Wyoming, early last year and
stocked It with a cheap grade Of goods
that attracted n certain class Of trade.
BY spasmodtc advertising In papers Of
unknown circulation at ridiculously low
prices they endeavored to work up good
trade, but II "a claimed by people who
know. that they did not ut the time get
the patronage thsy. expected. Several
months ago they rented the storeroom and

The renewal Of talk about a compro-
mise speedily follows Senator Quay's
return to Philadelphia and indicates
the trend along which he wishes to
work. Quay wants to compromise be-
cause Quay is beaten. If he held the
whip hand, there would be no compro-
mise short Of the other fellows politi-
cal death.

The explanation which one resident
of Pittston recently gave for his belief
that Quay would capture the Fifth Lu-
zerne was that that district Is heavily
Democratic" The Democrats Of Pitts

almost to a man-at least, lust now.

proposal Of the former that the state con-
veution should recognise the right Of the
Republicans OF Pennsylvania to be heard
upon the question Of federal appoint
ments. Senator Quay not only had not
one word Of commendation for such ac-
tom but made It very clear that no mat
ter what the state convention might de-
clare. he would take refuge under Q false
and strained Interpretation of the consti-
tuition Of the United States to defeat the
wishes Of the Republicans Of Pennsyll-
vania."

A Versatile Lawyer.

When Judge Parsons was practic-
ing lawyer he was once employed to
plead two cases in court which were
precisely alike. but in one he y IS en-
gagged for the plaintiff, in the other for
the defendant. 1t happened that both
cases were tried the same day He
spoke for half an hour to the first jury;
the case was given to the jurors and
they had retired. When he appeared
before the second jury he made use of
very different arguments from those
employed by him before, of which the
court took notice reminding him that
he seemed to have changed his tune and
repeated to him what he said a few
minutes before. Mr. Parsons fixed his
keen eye upon the judge and replied:
MAY it please your honor, l might have
been wrong an hour ago, but now
know l am right" He proceeded. and
when the juries returned it was found
he had gained a verdict in both cases.

HORSES FASCINATED BY FIRE
The Animals Seized with Strange
Madness When in Peril.


The panic that is inspired in the minds
of horses by a phenomenon so strange
as fire can be understood only by those
who have witnessed a fire in a large sta
bic where numbers of horses are kept,
says the St Louis Globe Democrat The
scene that ensues is one of the most
frightful that can be conceived. The
horses are rescued from the burning
building with the utmost difficulty, and
only with the most serious peril to the
lives and limbs of the rescuers. The
animals go mad with fright, rear kick
and dash from side to side so wildly as
to make an attempt at rescue as peril
Gus as an advance on a hostile battery.
When rescued they will often break
away from those who hold them and
charge back at full speed into the burn
ing building, there to perish in the
flames. They resist every attempt to
take them out They have been known
to tear their rescuers with their teeth,
to throw them to the ground and tram
pie on them, to kick out their brains.
As the fury of the flames increases so
does the panic of the unfortunate ami
mails. They scream out in their agony
as the fire reaches their bodies, yet they
viii not for all that seek safety in the
open air. They are crazed wi ii fear ana
yet remain to be burned to death when
a ten seconds run would carry them to
liberty. But they never make the run
and as rule are burned alive in their
stalls. where alone theg seem to fancy
they can find security. There is but one
way to get them out. and that is to
blind them with some convenient cover,
such as a coat or a blanket, and thus,
unable to see the dangers about them,
trembling in every limb. apparently
ready to fall TO the earth with fear,
they may be led out But the cover
must not be too quickly removed from
their eyes; in fact. it should not be
taken off until the animals are out of
sight of the burning building. otherwise
they will break away from the persons
leading them and. in spite of the stout
est efforts at restraint. will dash back
to perish in the flames.
