Hastings on Top.

BELLEFoNTE, July 24th.-Al-
though there are still a number Of
precincts to be heard from, these re-
turns cannot affect the previously
announced result of the Republican
primary election held in Centre
county on Saturday, which was car
ried by the candidates supported by
former Governor Hastings, bya large
majority. The Hastings faction will
control the county convention which
meets here Tuesday and will elect
S. II. Williams, of Bellefonte, and
George Gowland, of Phillipsburg,
delegates to the Republican State
convention. The opposing forces
who are followers of Judge Love,
favored 5. b. Miller of Belletonte,
and j. W. Dunwiddie, of Phillips
burg. Returns so far received give
the Hastings people g. delegates
and the Love side II. Calculations
ON the complete returns place the
final result at TOY for Hastings to
u J for his opponents. The indica-
tions on the county ticket favor the
nomination of Jacob S. Herman for
sheriff, j. X. Thompson for treasur-
er, Nelson f. Robb for recorder,
James b. Strohm for register and Nj.
f. Riddle and George Scholl for
cuunty commissioners.

An Important Decision.

Chief Justice Sterrett, of the Su-
preme Court, Wednesday handed
down an opinion in the Gearhart
township election contest which will
be of interest not only to the voters
OF Northumberland county, but of
the entire State. Judge Savidge de-
cided some time ago, that Il voter
making cross in the circle at the
head of the column on the ticket,
not containing the names of the can
didates for all the Offices to be voted
for, could not vote for another per-
son who is Il candidate for an office
for which no nominee was contained
in said column, by marking Il cross
in the square opposite the name of
such person in another column.
c. b. Wilmer, Esq, who repre-
scented NJ. L. Gulick in the contest
rcierredto, took exceptions to the de-
cision of Judge Savidgc and appeal
ed the case to the Supreme Court.
That court reversed Judge Savidgc
and sustained the election board of
said township and directed the con-
testants to pay the costs.
BY the decision of the Supreme
Court a voter may vote for all the
candidates contained in the column
by placing Il cross in the circle at
the top the column and he may
also vote for Il candidate foran office
for which no nominee appears in
said column, by marking II cross in
the square opposite the name of such
in another column.

LAWLESS CAPTURED.
He Escaped from the Court House May
2nd. While Waiting Trial for Burg
lay-Caught Saturday Night
at Shanokln

at Shamokn
"Pluck" or John Lawless, the
notorious criminal and Jail bird, of
Shamokin, who had been fugitive
from justice since May 2nd, was
captured near Shamokin Saturday
night by Coal and Iron Policeman
Lesser. Shamokin officers were
aware that I.awless had been seen in
the neighborhood of his old haunts
the last few days, and strict watch
was kept tor him. Saturday night
their vigilance was rewarded and he
was made Il prisoner bv Officer
Lesser. The capture was made in
the Reading railroad ya.d near the
round house while I.awless was in
the act OF boarding u freight train.
He had evidently learned that oflc-
ers were on his stracls and was about
to leave tora healthier climate. The
prisoner was hanlcuilcd and brought
to Jail here Sunday morning.
1t will be remembered that Law
less is the fellow who walked out Of
the prisoners dock at the court house
during the May term of criminal
court, Tuesday, May 2nd, while
court was being transferred from the
man room to court room No. =.
Lawless mingled with thecrowd and
walked out otthe court house un-
observed. He was not missed until
the time arrived for taking the pri-
soncrs back to Jail when the deputies
discovered that they were one man
short. He was awaiting trial for
the burglary ofShapiro Bros cloth
ing store at Shamokin and his case
had not been reached at the time of
his escape.
He wil.now have another charge to
answer in addition to his indictment
for burglary and will no doubt stay
behind the bars for several years to
comc.-S,mJUV Item.

clergyman volunteered his service
and a marriage certificate was filled
out, which the farmer signed as wit

PROTECT OUR ouTLANDERs.
Treatment of American
Miners i'm the KIondiISe.


Philadelphia North American.
The census of Dawson City, the capital Of
the klondike just taken. discloses state
Oh anairs that demands the immediate at
tenllon or the governments concerned Ii
appears that Dawson has 4,i45 inhabitants,
OF whom 3,2O5 are from the United States,
and only S45 from Canada and England
1t is obvious that a place whose popula-
ton is four-fift American has a right to
the paternal care and protection of the
United States England will certainly not
TAKE IL amiss II we claim for the American
outianders OF the Klondike the same priv
lieges she Is vindicatng for the British out
landers of the Transvaal. OF course. we want
nothing unreasonable. 1t would be only
proper to grant the Dawson Americans the
Canadian franchise without recurring them
TO forswear their allegiance to the United
states. The onerous taxes of which they
complain should certainly be abolished and
they should be allowed to maintain order
among themselves without the veXatious
interference of the Canadian mounted police.
Less than this we could hardly ask con-
sistentiy with our position as the paramount
power of the American continent But there
need be no apprehension that we think of
interfering with Canadian independence
such an idea is as remote from our minds
dS tne iuea Oh encroaching upon the indie
pendence of the Transvaal is from the mind
OF Mr.. Chamberlain. All we ask is simple
human rights for our citizens, who form the
vast majority of the inhabitants of the Klon-
dixie who have done most OF the work of
developing the resources Of the country
who own the bulk of the wealth and pay
most of it's taxes
or course, If the outlanders, after becom-
ing admitted in due form to Canadian citi-
zenship, with an American attachment
should vote for the annexation Of the gold
fields to the United States, that would con-
stltute what diplomats call "a new situa-
tlon' and would have to be dealt with by
such light as we might have at the time.
Meanwhile, every gun fired at Mafekine
Is reminder that we are not doing our
share in maintaining the sacred right of
foreigners to run the politics of any country
