The Ancient Village Painted Red in Hon
or of the Great Republican
victory

Victory.
The grand Republican victory was cele-
brated in great style by the Republicans
of Stoyestown and surrounding country
Saturday night. The town was i'm tu-
multi, and noise such as was never before
heard in that part of the county reigned
supreme. The street pageant was mag
nificent demonstration. Fire works
were shot off in profusion, all along the
route. The parade was over quarter of
mile in length and not less than thous-
and voters were in line. A large delega-
tion from Hooversville marched at the
head of the line, marshalled by Joseph
Hershberger of that place. Music was
furnished by the Hoov ersville band, one
of the best organizations in the county.
Many handsome decorations adorned the
houses along the route, and photographs
of Mckinley and Hobart, framed in red,
white and blue were to be seen at every
turn.
After the parade Hon. w. II. Sanner,
member-elect of the Legislature was call
ed for, and from the balcony of the Gus
ter House, delivered stirring address,
congratulating his fellow Republicans
upon the victory won and for the noble
part they took in the campaign.

of residence as Somerset, Pa, was sent

a report reached here yesterday of a
disgraceful row which took place on the
morning following the election at Fair
Hope. 1t appears that young man NAM
ed William Baker was cheering for Me-
Kinley when he was assaulted and
knocked down by a young man named
limerick. In the rough and tumble
fight which followed limerick was get
ting the worst of it when he seized
Bakers right hand between his teeth and
chewed off one of his fingers. 1t is more
than probable that Baker will prosecute
limerick, since the assault is alleged to
have been unprovOked.
