Mileage of Congressmen.

The mileage of congressman runs all
the way from So to S1.1OO. The law re-
quires that the mileage shall be calcu-
lated by the nearest route of travel. A
Maryland representative gets the low

gets the larger sum. The California
congressman get on an average of $3.50
each for mileage. The mileage is, of
course, a good deal more than is usually

RING RULE.
p. ii. Journal.

p. Fl. Journal.
Ring rule is government narrow
ed down to two or three men
sometimes less. The will of the
people is not consulted, and If con-
suited it never amounts to any
thing. The ring in the state,
parishes and towns manipulate
things to suit their own sweet will
and to fatten their own pocket
books. These men composing the
"rings" have perpetuated their
powers for years, in defiance of
the people, and will continue SO il
the people quietly submit. But
their days are numbered, rest as
sured of this fact. Every man who
has the right to vote will cast his
ballot and then that ballot will be
counted. This means the end of
ring rule. We have no objection
to any man holding Office for fifty
years if he is fairly elected to the
position. What we say about ring
rule does not mean that we are in
Weighing against any good Demo-
crat. Locally, we care not what a
mans politics are. Not politics
but manhood is all we ask. We
believe the time is now here when
good men, irrespective of party
lines, will put the stamp of disap-
{. proval on government by the few,
and see to it that henceforth the
voice of the whole people shall be
heard. We rejoice that such a
spirit is abroad among the people,
and it will be glorious day for
our state when unfair elections
and ring rule, pass away forever.

nipped in the bud last Thursday fore
noon. The water pipes in the cellar
under Reynolds drug store had frozen

with a homemade torch a spark or
small blaze got through an auger hole
in the floor into one corner OF rack
filled with wall paper in the rear of the

wall paper caught fire and the blaze
shot to the ceiling before the fire was
extinguished. DR.. Reynolds, A. M.

Eleven Councilmen.

In giving report of the borough
election last week, we unintentionally
omitted the names of two Republicans
who were elected to serve as council
men, Thos. G. Shields, who was a
member of the old council, reelected,
and Frank S. Hoffman. One year after
the first Monday in March this borough
will have eleven councilmen, and after
that time seven instead of six, as here
tofore. This is in accordance with a
new law passed by the last Legislature.
The law provided that at the spring
election held last week each borough
having less than seven councilmen
should elect three for years, two for
years, and two for l year. These to
serve with the old officials whose terms
OF Office have not yet expired, which in
our case is four. Annually hereafter
two or three councilmen, as the case
may be, will be elected for three years.
The names of our town council for the
next year, are as follows; Old council
men, Scott McClelland, Jerry Hickman,
Chas. Ritzie, Peter Robertson; new
councilmen, VIM. Coping, DR.. B. e.

Patrick Fennell, the subject of this
sketch, who died somewhat suddenly on
the 14th ult. was born in Ireland OF very
respectable parentage Al years ago last
June, and came to this country with
his parents at very early age. Com
ing to this part of the state, when
Dubois and Reynodsville were yet in
their infancy, he became acquainted
with Degnan & Mcdonald, lumbermen,
and entered their employ. He soon
rose to be their foreman, which station
he held for number of years. He was
well liked by all the employees who
served under him, and won the conf
dence and esteem of his employers. He
was generous, warm-hearted man and
gave literally to worthy, charitable OBJ
jects. The writer knows whereof he
speaks, having worked by his side in
the gloomy forest. He leaves a fond,
doting mother and five brothers to weep
and mourn. One brother Is general
superintendent Of the N. Y. & N. T.. r.
r., another train dispatcher, one a
passenger engineer and two are road
masters, having worked themselves up
to these positions by untiring energy
and ability. A requiem mass was said
for the deceased in the Catholic church
of this place by the Rev. Father Brady.
His body was laid to rest by many
sympathizing friends. Patrick Fennell
had his faults-who has them not? He
had one failing, known to many, for
which he often expressed his sorrow,
but he died a sober man. From the
life and death of Patrick Fennell, NOR
alists may deduce such conclusions as
they may; the christian will in pity
spare his faults and in silence veil.

However, the program was taken up at

well carried out, all the participants
