breach about three-fourths of mile east of
the Pennsylvania station, while bathing.
Davies, in company with several other boys
among whom were John and Frank Miller,
Joe Glen, Joe Bubel, Joe Richards and sew
eral more, composed the crowd which took a
bath. After all the boys had bathed sufii-
GENTLY they all retired with the exception of
Davies. The breach in which the bathing was
done is about 10 feet square and its dcpth is
not known. Davies started to wade out in the
centre which caused him to sink out of sight.
He came up again and held his right hand up
for aid, and as none of the boys could SWIM
he was compelled to drown within their
sight One of the boys Immediately ran to
town for an officer and met Chief Tosh on
Main street, who at once went to the scene
When they arrived the boy was Just being
pulled out of the water by John Lynch and
Robert Gray, who had been searching for
him for about ten minutes. When brought
to land life was extinct, as he had been in
the water for nearly 90 minutes

died about five years ago, and his father,
William Smith, left this locality about seven
years ago. He is supposed to be living yet
and the last heard of him he was in Luzerne

the responsibility for the health of the family.
No wife, mother or sister who has the
health or happiness of her family at heart
will see day after day go by with nothing
done for some tired, sick OF ailing member of
the household. If she is a wide-awake,
thoughtful woman she will make it her first
duty to see that Paine's celery compound is
used to bring back the yigor to the neglected
nerves and the poor blood.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, writing to the
Wells & Richardson Co., of Burlington, on
Jan 6, said
''Some members of my family have been
using your Paine's celery compound, and
heartily recommend it to any one who is
run down or suffering from nervous ills.

prevent such trivial matters being returned or,
| il returned to give the Grand Jury power of

the worry and WEAKNESS of the office, the
store or the factory makes needless of their
failing health Pale lips and cheeks, dis
turbed sleep, pain of neuralgia or rheumatism,
headaches or that constant feeling of weari-
ness are causes enough for immediate recourse
to that best of all invigorators, Paine's celery
compound,
There is nothing vague or uncertain about
its working. 1t goes straight to the cause Of
the mischief; purites the blood, enriches it in
volume and in quality, and firmly but gently
stirs the organs that have become sluggish.
Paines celery compound drives out impurities,
restores strength, renews vitality, regulates
the kidneys, liver and bowels, and makes peo-
pie we'll. That is why it is the wonderful
remedy that it is today, and more in de-
mand than all tonics that promise somucb
and accomplish so little. Every year con-
firms the faith ofthe people in Paine's celery
compound.

Half century of pioneer work for the ad-
vancement of women has made the life of
Elizabeth Cady Stanton an inspiration to
thousands, and an appropriate object of hom-
age and congratulation.
1t is a year now since the immense ovation
was given to Mrs Stanton at the Metropolitan
Opera House in New York on the anniversary
of her sOth year. under the auspices Of the
National Council of Women Of the United
States.
A recommendation from such brilliant
philosopher, so good mother, such great
and true woman everywhere.
As Mrs. Stanton herself said in reply to the
many addresses of affection and devotion
from women representing homes all over the
land:
In this struggling world men often lean
on the judgment Of mothers and wives, hence
women need clear understanding of the
vital questions Of the hour"

DIsPENsARY INVESTIGATION.
Mr.. McSweeney introduced the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, That it is the sense OF
this committee that in view OF numer-
GUS newspaper articles and insinua-
tions made during the recent campaign
with reference to the management of
the State Dispensary that the Board
of Control and the Legislature and
the present Legislative committee make
thorough, public and impartial in
vestigation of the working of this
State institution, and that the result be
given in full to the people.
In offering the resolutions Mr.. Mo-
Sweeney said that he believed every
true Carolinian was in favor of an in :
vestigation and he was certain the Re-
form party was. It is duty it owed
to the people that the inv estigation be
made end he submitted the resolution
as the sense of tho committee, who
were in favor of purging every depart
ment of the government.
Mr.. Sigh said the insinuations had
been made and if there is anything in
them it ought to be brought out. He
did not believe that there was anything
in them. He did not believe Cover
nor Evans would be found guilty. but
if he was he should be punished with
the others. The government had been
under the control of the Reform move
ment for six years and it favored hon.
esty and it should 60 to the world that

Mr.. Robinson said that he did not

Mr.. Neal agreed with him but said
that he would sign q petition that the

Mr.. w. D. Evans said that these char

OUR NOMINEE.

TO the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
We believe all of the counties except
Fauquier have selected their delegates.
Now does it not behoove the delegates
to carefully and deliberately do their
duty to the party and the people and not
be swayed by or influenced by other
than the fixed purpose to select man
that will reflect credit upon their ac-
ton? Should they not carefully note
and well consider the claims of each
and all aspirants what are his claims
upon his party what service has he
rendered when not selishly interested?
Has he been consistent and in touch
with the people upon the issues of the
campaign just beginning; what means
has he employed to secure delegates
Has he been and is he briber and
corruptionist; did he conduct q clear,
fair and manly canvass; has he been
fair and honorable with his opponents,
and the people? Surely all these are
pertinent questions and most worthy of
consideration. Truly must the nomi-
nee be gentleman. None other will,
or can faithfully and honorably serve
his constituents or reflect credit upon
the district. A man that employs other
than honorable means to secure his NOM
nation and election cannot be other
than dishonorable representative and
false to his trusts. If the party hopes
and expects to win this fall the nomi-
nee must be man of honesty and abil.
ity-honesty counting for more than
ability. Let the convention name man
who will be elected upon his merit and
worth, not by bribery, corruption and
ballot box juggling have had too
much of this. 1t is time to call a halt. |
Too often have such practices brought |
the blush of shame to the cheek of our
old State. We ought and must have a
clean canvass, and that we cannot have |
if we have an unclean nominee. The |
must do its duty to the peo-
Pile, and we believe it will, regardless
of any man. b.
