Charles I. HynsOn, one of our hard
working and industrious carpenters,
died at his home, corner of South and
Delaware, Monday night in the AZ
year of his age. He was sick only a
week. 1t really began several weeks
ago with a bone felon, which he labored
with when he should have rested, but
his death was caused by a complication
of diseases which he succumbed to
very rapidly. He leaves a widow and
seven children, the greater number OF
which are small and helpless for which
there is much sympathy. Intermen'
will be made in GlenwoOd cemetery
to O-mOrrOw.

What has become of the Moore
bicycle ordinance ? For time 1t
created quite a stir among our local
cyclists and urged those who had not a
lamp and bell to procure one. The
policeman is now taking a rest and the
ordinance goes now unenfOrced.
Saturday night several bicycles were
run about town without a lantern and
we understand that one or two accidents
were but barely averted. 1t is not safe
to our pedestrians and so long as the
ordinance is a law it should be enforced
to the letter. We hope for the safety
of the public, our policeman will SCI

COUNTY CAUCUSES,

Prior to the meeting of the conven-
ton the several county delegations
held caucuses and selected their men,
bers of the various committees, the
presidential electors, whom the con-
vention subsequently ratified, and the
members of the central committees.
The New Castle delegation resolved
to support Peter j. Ford for Governor.
Kent had no preference, realizing that
in the geographical distribution of the
office that county was not entitled to
it. The last democratic nominee, Ebe
E. Tunnel, of Sussex, was defeated
The New Castle men claimed that the
nomination should go to their county
The Sussex men claimed that the nom
ination was still due them.

Certificates Of Nomination.

In making caucus nominations for
township officers, several rules should
be observed.
I. No more persons can be nomi-
mated In the same paper, than each
voter can vote for. For instance, as
no one can vote for two inspectors,
but one must be named in each paper.
2. Do not nominate more school
directors, supervisors or poor directors
than are to be elected.
3. Get the names and initials of
every candidate accurately, and write
them plainly, SO that the printer can
read them.

Oonstables to be Elected in Every Town.
ship,

There has been frequent inquiry of
late as to whether constables are to
be elected at the coming spring cleo
tion. The act of assembly passed
June 10th 1895 settles the matter. 1t
reads as follows:
"That the qualified voters Of every
borough and township, and where a
borough is divided into wards, of every
ward in the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania shall, on the third Tuesday OF
February, 1896, and triannually there
after, vote for and elect a properly
qualified person for constable in each
of said districts, and a properly quail
fed person for high constable in each
of said boroughs, and the person so
elected shall serve for three years."
1t matters not when constables
were elected, or whether those now
serving have held the office for three
years, every township, and borough in
the county must nominate and elect
constables, who will serve for three
years from this time.

BACKING UP MP. CLEVELAND.
Doctrine of Monroe Reafirmed,
The United States Will Assert and Main.
tain h-European Powers Given Notice
to Keep Hands OF This Continent.

The senate committee on FOREIGN
relations discussed for two hours last
Friday the Monroe doctrine and
finally ordered report on the resolu.
ton submitted by Mr.. Davis, of Mimi,
chairman of the sub committee. This
resolution goes even further than did
the president in his message to con-
gress on the Venezuelan question. 1t
Will, IT passed, commit the congress to
policy from which there can be no
back down, and there appears to be
no doubt as to the ultimate result on
the resolution.
The resolution reaffirms and con-
firms the Monroe doctrine and de.
clares that the United States will
assert and maintain it. 1t states
specifically that this government will
regard as an infringement of this
doctrine any attempt on the part of
any European power to acquire new
or additional territory on this cont.
nent or the islands adjacent thereto
as dangerous to the safety and the
peace of the United States.
The United States also denies the
right of any European power to ac-
quire any such territory, either by
force, purchase, cession, occupation,
pledges, colonization or protection,
whether under unfounded pretensions
or right, under the guise of boundary

The concert given by the Mozart
Symphony Club in the Normal Audi
torium on Tuesday night was very
artistic, and highly enjoyable. A
goodly audience was in attendance,
and the hearty applause that greeted
each number showed warm apprecia-
ton. The singing of Miss Gumaer
was specially good because of her
clear and distinct enunciation, coupled
with her rich contralto voice. All
the members of the club are artists,
and the entire program was excellent
in every respect. The Students
Lecture Course this season is one of
the best ever presented here. Rev.
Anna H. Shaw will fill the next date
on the a7th. She is very highly
recommended.

Hard Times for Non advertisers.

Catalogues may find lodgment on a
shelf, but the frequent arrival of a
reputable Journal is constant and
sure reminder, which sooner or later
must bear fruit. 1t is the non-ad
vertlser who complains of hard times.
When everybody is rushed, it is no
trick to secure custom it is when his
neighbors are idle that the man, who
has wisely kept his name and goods
before the public, finds himself so
well known that he gets his full share
of what patronage is to BE- had. The
time to make hay is while the sun
shines. Repair the roof while the
weather is favorable, and there is nc
lack when the storm comes.

sKATED TO HIS DEATH.
Frank Carpenter Skates into an Air Hole
in the Ice on the River and is Drowned.

The citizens of this place were
thrown into CONSERVATION last Satur
day by a telephone message being
received from w. c. Bryfogle, the
florist near the river, conveying the
sad and startling information that
Frank, the second son of +. r. Car
penter had been drowned in the river.
At first the message was not believed,
but investigation proved that it was
only too true. The facts as we were
able to ascertain them were sub
stantially as follows: On the evening
previous Frank, who was fond of all
athletic sports, had been down to the
river, and returned informing his
brother Ben and his two companions
Jay and Fred Allen, that the skating
was fine, and accordingly it was ar
ranged among them that on the fol.
lowing morning they would indulge in
the pastime. AT eight o'clock Satur-
day morning a trio of happy light
hearted lads started out for what they
supposed was to be a day of pleasure.
When they arrived at the canal at
Market Street Fred strapped on his
skates and went down the canal, the
Others went on down Market Street
10 the river, put on their skates and
started down intending to go to
Rupert, where they had agreed to
meet Fred Allen. They had not gone
far however until they encountered so
much water that Jay Allen and Ben
Carpenter concluded to take off their
skates and walk down the road, Frank
remaining on the ice. Frank who
was skating, had reached a point i'm.
mediately below Mr.. Bryfogle's and in
the exuberancy Of his spirits had
called to the boys on the bank that
the skating was elegant. He had
scarcely uttered these words when he
skated into an air hole and disappear
ed from view. The boys on the bank
were powerless to render him any
assistance, but they Immediately gave
the alarm. BY this time Frank came
up out of the water and was able to
keep his head above it until he had
floated distance of about sixty feet,
when becoming exhausted as he
reached for support from the surround
ing ice he was carried under. Mr..
Bryfogle and others arrived in a short
time, but too late to save his life.
The sad news spread very rapidly
and In short time large crowd had
gathered on the bank, willing and
eager to render any assistance in their
power. The work of breaking the
ice and cutting channels was i'm
medlately commenced and they work
ed until nearly twelve o'clock before
they succeeded in recovering the body
of the unfortunate boy, which Warren
Eyer found about sixteen feet below
where he had gone under the ice.
The body was taken out of the
water as tenderly as possible and
conveyed to his grief stricken parents.
| The funeral services were held at the
residence of his parents on West
Fifth Street Tuesday morning at 1890
O'Clock and conducted by Rev. Patter-
son. The body was taken to Tamaqua
for interment. Frank was a good,
active, studious and intelligent boy
and was a favorite with all his com
panions, and was nearly nineteen
years of age. The family have the
assurance of the sympathy of the
community in their bereavement.

There will be no war, either be-
tween England and the United States
over the Venezuelan boundary, or
England with Germany over the
Transvaal. In the first question,
England will eventually concede all
we demand. In the second there
will be much mutual buster and a
final settlement that will leave every
thing just as it is now. England
does not want to fight, Germany does
not want to fight, and the United
States does not want to fight, and
unless something more serious hap
pens the perplexing questions will be
settled with a copious flow Of ink
instead of blood. The only party in
the dispute that would rather fight
than not is the young war lord of
Germany, Emperor William II, and
there are probably cool heads enough
to restrain him. But, while your
Uncle Samuel does not wish to fight,
the whole world can take notice that
if he is compelled to take his coat off
in the defense of the Monroe doctrine,
there will be very little British terri
tory left in this hemisphere whose
boundaries are capable of expansion.
AT the end of the conflict the sunrise
gun of England could take a rest
while the orb of day was crossing
America. No, Johnny Bull, we don't
want to fight, but don't you crowd
