The present high sheriff Of Dublin IA
vors the proposal to increase the lord
MAYORS salary to $4,000 AS the high
sheriff aspires to be lord mayor himself,
his leaning ON the salary question is quite
understandable. In this connection it is
not uninportant to remember that Mr..

fall away. The decrease in the exports
Of sheep for the last week in October was

Warned in Time.

The Telegraph desires at this time to
warn Republican district conferences at
which Republican electors for the Ma
tional ticket are elected To be very care
full who are named as electors. The law
says that no man connected with the
United States Government in any posi-
tion whatever is eligible for the position
of Presidential elector, and this is held to
apply not only to those who hold ap-
pOintive or salaried positions under the
Federal Government, but also to Nation
al Bank officers and even stock holders in
National Banks. To be sure. the ques-
tion as to the National Bank officers and
stockholders has never been settled. yet
there is an element of uncertainty in the
matter which was considered so serious
some years ago as TO lead the Republican
State Committee to request a National
Bank director, who had been placed on
the electoral ticket, to get off the ticket,
and, though he demurred. he was COM
PEELED to do 50. 1t is this that the Tsie-
graph desires to call to the attention of
the Republicans of Pennsylvania at this
time. County conventions are being
held and electors will sooa be chosen.
1t is better to be careful and best to be
certain. \ single electoral vote was very
valuable in ls1l, when the question of
who should he President trembled in the

Salaries Instead of Fees.

There is new movement among the
farmers of Washington county for the en-
actment of the law making all county
offices, not already so provided for, pay
able by salary. In that connection, at
farmers institute, held at Canonsburg,
few days ago, the following resolution
was unanimously adopted.
''The taxpayers are now speaking in
no uncertain tone in their demand for a
reduction of taxes and salaries, and that
we should, by our ballots, emphasize
the fact by supporting only such candi-
dates as are in sympathy with US; and
in addition, that the officers of this in
stitute are instructed TO publicly inter-
rogate each and all candidates to be no
minated by the parties for the legisla-
ture, whether they will favor an enact
ment of law making all county offices
salaried offices, and that the salaries be
reduced to fair, moderate figures"

The Papers Were Lost.

Prothonotary Bryon Porter, of Fayette
county, has received word from Govern
or Hastings that the papers containing
the record of the Frank Morris murder
case have never been received at the ex-
ecutive department, and that the first Of
fetal notice the governor had of the case
was through the application to the Par
don Board for communication of the death
penalty TO life Imprisonment. This ex-
plains the delay on the part of the gov
ernor in fixing the date of the execution.
Frank Morris murdered Bernard Liker
and tried to kill Mrs. Liker, at their
home in Bullskin township, September
IL, 1894. He was tried at the December
court the same year and convicted of
murder in the first degree. In June 1895.
the court overruled the motion for new
trial and sentenced Morris to be hanged.
The next day Prothonotary Porter for
warded the records of the case by ex-
press, as required by law, to the govern
or. IL seems they never reached their
destination.

cate from whom it came.
The following account of Rev. Lanes

Rev. Harry Lane, preacher without a
charge, was arrested by constable David
Pringie OF the Fourth ward last Friday
evening, charged with the larceny of be-
tween so and 30 from the home of J. T..
Fleming, of near Advance on Wednesday.
The arrest was made at the home of
Squire Drenning of near Homer City.
The constable made "A thorough search of
all of Lanes belongings, but found moth
ing of ali discriminating nature.
The robbery was committed during the
absence of Mr.. and Mrs. Fleming from
their home. Lane was staying with the
family at the time. In sewing machine
drawer Mr.. Fleming had placed Sl65. An
examination OF the money found that
over $40 was missing. Lane had un-
eIpectedly left the house and it was not
known where he had gone.
Mr.. Fleming came to town and made
an information against him before Squire
kellar. Constable Pringle took charge
of the case. Lane had been to Blairsville
and made a few purchases. When
searched four or five dollars in paper
money and pension voucher for SOL was
found. The constable did not think the
evidence against him sufficient TO hold
him, so the preacher was released.

told an interesting story of the doings of
the moonshiners who operate in that
section. His home Is only a few miles
from that of the notorious Bill Pritts,
who lives on the Somerset county side.
He has frequently conversed with tho
outlaw since the murder Of Hochstetier,
and says the old moonshiner lives in
constant fear OF capture. y few days ago
while ont in the mountains he came upon
the outlaw, who was at work getting
things ready 10 begin making sugar. The
two had qui;e talk, but in the cOnver-
sation nothing was mentioned about the
murder. Pritts carried big revolver
and a Winchester sat against tree with
i'm easy reach. lie is always on the alert,
and is not to be taken by surprise.
This Is a favorite season of the year for
moonshining and many take advantage of
it. The numerous sugar camps are run

tached 4 smoke in the woods. Much
illegal liquor is turned out under the
guise of the sugar camp.
