elsewhere of excrescences which
make the body polite sick, and, if
the above recital which we assume
to be true, coming as it does from an
official of the County, is not sufIici-
ent warrant for our assertion, and
ample evidence that we need some
change in the administration Of our
affairs TO save us from the scorn and
contumely of law regarding com
munities, then we acknowledge our
selves TO be ignorant of what con
stitutes good local government.
The libel, still going the rounds of
the press that recently in the case
of the negro Siglar, our townsmen
were with difficulty restrained from
trampling on law and justice by
lynching him, emanated from the
brain of a callow youth who cares
more for the cheap sensations he can
create than he does for the reputation
of our citizens, and reinstatement, if
true, would be in striking contrast
to the apparent utter lack of desire
on the part of those invested with
authority, to properly investigate
what may be ahenious crime.

BARNABAs COLEMAN HORTON.

The death of this estimable man
at the residence of his daughter,
Mrs. Abram d. Brown on Broad
street Monday evening Sept. 81 re-
moves another one of the very few
aged persons in our community. He
was born in Randolph township
Morris county, New Jersey, May Is
1911 where he continued to reside
until 1860 During this period he
married Ruth Cramer and to them
three children were born, all of
whom survive him, George E. and
Hannah B. wife of A. d. Brown, re-
siding in Milford and Mary G. wife
of George w. Howell, of Chester,
N. j. After the death of his wife
some twenty years ago, he removed
to Chester and resided with his
daughter, until about a year since
when he came to Milford. He was
farmer by occupation of a quiet
unobtrusive nature, upright in his
dealings, and highly respected in the
community where he was so long
known, For some time his health
has been declining, he having suffer-
ed at intervals paralytic strokes,
which greatly affected his voice and
locomotion. y 4
Brief services were held here
Tuesday Sept. %, and the remains
taken to Chester N. j, the next day
at which place funeral services were
held Thursday and the body laid at
rest beside those dear ones who have
gone before.

A PLEASANT EVENT.
An Informal Pot-Pie Supper Held I'm Lay
ton Last Thursday, Sept. II.

An Informal Pot-Pie Supper Held in Lay
ton Last Thursday, Sept. II.
The PRESS had no inclination to
decline an invitation extended by
Mr.. Geo. E. Hurst and his pleasant
wife, of Layton, to be present with
feminine assistants at an informal
pot-pie supper given by that gentle
man Thursday evening The
grounds were handsomely illumin-
ated, the company charming, and
the " raised pot-pie +" with its con-
comitant chicken and endless vari-
ETY. of too tempting adjuncts, made
all feel that however free silver
might affect the country the ' un-
limited coinage of pot-pie was
wholly free from any Objectionable
results, and moreover indispensable
to satisfy an inward longing, which
editors are not presumed to crafty
at will, and only when some pitying
friends bring in a woodchuck and a
peck of turnips in payment of two
yearly subscriptions.
After the supper those who could
indulged in dancing but such frivol-
ity was incompatible with the con-
dition of the elder contingent who
found more comfort aiding the Gu
ban revenue by the consumption of
Havanas, and mildly wondering
whether the host in anticipation of
cold winter had not been moved to
supply all the needy families in
Sandyston with feather bed apiece.
They are not satisfied over there
with moderation for we found on
starting home our wagon had been
loaded with luscious grapes, and we
have since been living in a wonder
if was not after all premeditated
scheme to reduce the Republican
majority in Pennsylvania by one.

Church improvements.

The Methodist Church people of
this place are making some needful
improvements to their edifice, the
principal one being enlarging re-
modelling, and beautifying the Sun
day school room. The school un-
der the assiduity of Mr.. Neff and
his fervent assistants required more
room to comfortably accommodate
the increased number, hence it
becomes necessary to take out a
partition and add a room, which will
be connected with the larger room
by means of folding doors. New
windows, columns, and steps will
also be added, and when completed
according to design the room will be
comfortable pleasant, and attrac-
tive home for their Sabbath school.

Mr., Bryan will visit the 4th Con-
gressional District of New Jersey ,as
that is the only part of the State the
Popocrats expect to carry. This
district is the favorite stamping
ground of the Populists and Farm
ers' Alliance, and they claim all the
Republicans have gone over to free
silver. No doubt desperate efforts
will be made to carry it for A. w.
Cutler, who is a Farmers Alliance
Democrat and has been a perennial
and persistent office-seeker, on all
sides of the many political issues A
strong gold sentiment is developed
in the district and sound money
clubs are being established. To pre-
vent stampede in this direction
which is strongly in evidence, and to
avert a Waterloo in the district it
has been decided that Mr.. Bryan
shall make several speeches NAH
Ion Pitney, the Republican candi-
date is not at all discouraged and
has strong hopes of being elected.
He win make a fight with full
knowledge of the situation, and his
confidence has been strengthened
by the inducement of doubt which
prevailed at the convention which
nominated Mr.. Cutler.

Meeting of state Committee.

A fully attended meeting of the
Republican State Committee was
held in Philadelphia Tuesday. Re-
ports were received from every
county in the State and the tenor of
them was that there are sixteen
Democrats for Mckinley to each sill
yer Republican. Promises were
made of largely increased majori-
ties in all Republican counties, and
Philadelphia was put down for one
hundred thousand. In the few
usually Democratic counties the ma
jorities it was claimed would be re-
duced below those of 1894. Chair
man Elkin in his address said the
committee desired to eclipse the
highest water mark of all the great
majorities given by the party in this
State.

The Antiphonal service held in the
Presbyterian church last Sabbath
evening which was due mainly to
the work of the Y. P. S. G. E. at
tracted large audience. Great in
terest was manifested both in the
service and its impressive lessons.
1t was rendered by two ohoirs one
at the organ and the other in the
gallery in the opposite end of the
Church, which engaged in respon-
sive song. The singing reflected
great credit, ON the respective
choirs. each of which rendered
their parts with fine expression in a
very correct manner, and with an
effect that was plainly visible. The
subjects selected in the responsive
readings were well adapted to arouse
a religious feeling, and the hearth
ness with which the large congrega-
ton entered into the spirit of the oc-
casion showed an appreciation of
the effort to stimulate the thoughts,
and infuse a new life and energy in
the hearts of the people. Such a
service undoubtly conduces to a de-
votional feeling and when followed
by an effective address, cannot fail
to be productive of an awakening in
terest in religious matters.

DISTRICT RoLIrIcs. q


The Democratic primaries were
held in Carbon and Northampton
counties last Saturday and the con-
ventions on Monday. Full tickets
were nominated as follows: In
Carbon, for Congress, Laird H. Bar
Der! representative, Jerry N Weder
register and recorder, Harry s.
Swartz treasurer, DR.. j. G. Crea-
mer; county commissioners, John
O'Donnell and George Engian. In
Northampton, for representatives,
DIR, j. S. Hunt, DR.. Alfred Brown
and w. III. Leh prothonotary, L.
F. Giering recorder, w. H. Werst,
register, Jacob F. Speer treasurer,
Charles w. Groman commissioners.
w. R. Engle and David Solt.
The latter county elected delegates
to the Congressional Convention,
which met at Stroudsburg Thursday
Sept. "a, at one o'clock, and they
are said to be for Mr.. Mutchler but
he evidently has no use for the Con-
gressional nomination this year,
thinking perhaps that it will be
more agreeable possession at some
future time. From the fact that
Laird II. Barber was successful in
Carbon and as he is well known to
be a strong supporter of the North
ampton Statesman, it would seem
that Mr.. Harris chances for the per-
simmon are not bright. That fruit
is very astringent until after a frost
and this year even the Barber pole
may freeze before it can be used to
secure the prize Mr.. Mutchler is
on top and the nomination will go
at his bidding which fact also pres
ages no good for Mr. Hart.
If the nomination comes to this
county it will not be because Mutch-
Ter has forgotten or forgiven the al
legged wrong perpetrated two years
ago in depriving him of it, but be-
cause the chances for an election are
so remote, or the opportunity to de-
feat Pixies candidate too tempting,
and so put her on the shelf for a gem
Grafton to come.
By all the rules of party usage
Pike is entitled to two terms and if
she is not accorded her rights, some-
body should feel the weight of her
righteous indignation.

Gold is said to have been discov-
cred in Carbon county in Penn For
est township. Assays have been
made of the gold quartz taken from
shaft and slope sunk by the Penn
Mining Company which show from
s. to $44 to the ton ore. There is a
well defined vein along the slope
which has been followed to the
depth of 60 feet, and it is intended
to sink the slope 20 feet more. The
company expects it will then show
very rich ore sufficiently so to war
rant the erection of a proper plant
for treating it.
