The story is told how Tom Quick
was one day splitting rails when he
was surrounded by number of red
skin warriors who were more than
anxious to make his intimate ac-
quaintance and enjoy his society.
They invited him TO ramble in the
woods, to which he agreed provided
they would help him split the log,
and forthwith they thrust their fin
gers in the split while Tom drove
the wedge-out-thus fastening
the whole lot, when he leisurely
killed them.
History viii repeat itself, and by
the squeals which now rend the
azure 1t seems as If Mr.. Hart as the
wedge was knocked out and his con.
ferrees, well they would slat their
fingers if they only were loose.
Some people are mean enough to
hint that it did not take a very large
maui to do the business anyway, but
it is dollars to doughnuts that the
same parties who held the handle
two years ago do not hold the stul
this time. The aggregation of s. s
r. 8. and VS. can now stand up anf
enquire where they are at. Gentle
men we are ready to hear you.

sale wreeI.ea ana wlnaow. Blown out )

Safe Wrecked and Windows Blown out by
the Explosion. No Cash and Only
About One-Hundrsd Dollars in Stamps
was the Reward of the Robbers.
Several persons residing near the
Postoffice were aroused last Sunday
morning about three o'clock by q
heavy report, and the sound of
breaking glass Some arose and
went out peering in the darkness
but seeing no one, and finding no
cause, retired. Daylight disclosed
that the Postoffice had been broken
into. The robbers had forced open
the door on the Hartford street side,
bursting off two heavy locks. Once
inside blow from sledge hammer
which had been obtained from the
shop Of VIM. Angle, and the same
which had done duty on similar
occasion about year ago, broke the
handle of the safe, but the rascals
for some reason abandoned their
former methods and drilled a hole
in the top of the safe through the
lining and into a sheet iron box or
drawer. Into this nitro glycerine
was poured, and evidently large
quantity for the explosion which
followed threw the door several feet
breakinga a large hole in partition
and making a deep indentation in a
door jamb.
All the windows in the room were
shattered and the mail bags with
which the safe had been covered
were scattered over the floor
A small punch bearing the ini-
tials ~. F. X" was found in the
room. No letters were taken and
apparently nothing in the Office was
disturbed but the safe which
contained about fifty dollars
worth of stamps, and which the
robbers took. Some cancelled
money orders in the safe were dis
troyed and it appeared as though
some of its contents we're burned.
The parties had taken the precau-
tion to extinguish the street lamps
i'll the vicinity and had also unlocked
the front door of the office. From
the general similarity of the job to
that of last year and the fact that
the same sledge was used and OBJ
tanned in the same manner it would
seem probable that at least some OF
the same experts were engaged in
both robberies.

FRANK MILLER.

People were surprised to learn of
the death of the well-known hotel
proprietor, which occurred last Fri
day, Oct. 2 at $50 of paralysis of
the brain.
He complained several days pre-
viously of feeling unwell and on the
Monday preceding his death was
taken seriously i'll, and continued to
grow worse until his death.
He was born in Germany thirty
five years ago and came to this coun-
try when about eighteen years old,
and for the last thirteen kept hotel
at Matamoras. He was a member
of Van Denmark Ledge 1. o. o. +. of
Milford which society was largely
represen ted at his funeral which oc-
CURED Sunday.
He was of a genial disposition and
had many friends by whom he will
be greatly missed. he is survived
by his widow, Christiana, and a step
son, Martin Leicht, of Matamoras,
and a brother in New York.

HANNAH MARTIN CLARK.

Mrs. Hannah Martin Clark, wife
of William Clark, Jr., of Pennsyl-
vania street, Matamoras, died sud
denly Sunday afternoon at five o.
clock, having been seriously i'll but
about two days. The deceased was
a member of the Evangelical church
of Matamoras, and was one of the
most active members of the Ladies
Aid Society of that church. She was
always very energetic woman, a
model housewife, a loving mother,
and affectionate, devoted wife, and
she will be sadly missed by her hus-
band and child.
Mrs. Clark was 80 years of age
and was daughter of James and
Mary Martin, the latter of whom
died nearly year ago, while her
father is still living at the home Of
his son, Joseph of Matamoras. Be-
sides her husband and father, she
leaves a nine-year-old boy Martin,
three brothers, Robert and James
Martin, of Montrose, Pa, Joseph, Of
Matamoras, and one sister, Mrs. Jas.

Editor Mutchler does not mince
matters in expressing his opinion of
Charles B. Staples, DIR. Shull and
Congressman Hart, who have caused
the present trouble in Democratic
circles. We yield nothing Of our
opposition to Mr.. Mutchler as a
Democratic party leader and boss
nor withdraw previous criticisms,
but there is this TO be said about his
whole course two years ago, when
Hart betrayed him, and this year,
when Hart and Shull have con-
spired together. The more the facts
come out the clearer it is that
Mutchler, though fighting acted
squarely and honorably with his OPP
ponents. The young boss may be
tricky and sharp-that is part of a
successful politicians necessary
qualities-but he has been fair to-
wards his inner party enemies, and
they know it. They cannot CON-
plain of his not dealing on the

HART WITHDRAWS
FROM THE FIGHT.
CONSERVATION Among the Demo-
Gratis Of the Eighth District.
CLAIMS OF BETRAYAL MADE
Republicans Couhdent of the Election Of
Ex-Attorney General kirkpatrick
Objections to BE Filed TO
BARRIERS Nomination.

There was a sensation when the
news was received that Congress-
man Joseph j. Hart, candidate for
Congress, had withdrawn from the
contest in the interest of harmony.
The news dumfounded the Monroe
county leaders who were not aware
of the fact that Hart even contem.
plated withdrawing 1t was gener-
ally supposed that Hart was in the
fight to stay, and his nomination
papers were largely signed in that
county and other parts of the dis
trict. The Democratic leaders are
in a state of great excitement, and
claim to have been betrayed by
Hart, while the Republican leaders
are serene, and confidently expect to
carry the district.
There appears to be no possibility
of Barber's election, as he will be
cut in Monroe and Pike very largely,
and cannot possibly carry his own
county.
Monroe County Democrats will
not be reconciled to the candidacy
of Laird H. Barber, of Carbon county,
and there is a strong possibility that
even Monroe will be found in the
Kirkpatrick column this fall. The
Republicans are enthusiastic over
the prospect of Kirkpatrick's cleo
ton, and believe him a sure winner.
Monroe will file objections to the
nomination of Laird H. Barber.
