the fact that court heard the case and did
not unseat him, II must be conceded that
the acts of the majority of the council
were binding and thus my election cs
treasurer was perfectly legal. About
that time the Republican correspondent
said q good deal about the illegality Of
three men doing the borough business,
" hen there were really four: yet In to-
days letter he defends the acts of the
other three in notifying the ex-treasurer
not to pay any money to me as perfectly
legitimate. a fair sample of his incon-
sistency.
Now few words regarding the redemo-
ton of those seven bonds three months
after I was elected treasurer. John w.
Grant says: Before Edmunds' case was
settled the bonds fell due and the treas
urer redeemed them" / was treasurer
then and did not redeem them. These
bonds were redeemed Jun 5. 1899. One Of
them would have fallen due July Is, 1S9?
and the other six would not have fallen
due until July Is. 1900. Now this Is a Nat
contradiction to Grants statement Grant
is we'll known in this vicinity. SO am l..
The public have a right to decide which
Is telling the truth. But have the docu-
ment in my possession at present to shcw
thatI am right; what has Grant to show?
The correspondent further says that tie
auditors report for 1s9S-99 fully contra
diets my statements. That is not to he
wondered at. 1t also contradicts Mr..
Walkers statements, which may be n
surprise TO Mr.. Grant The ex-treasurer
admits having redeemed the bonds June
3. 1899; the auditors report shows that
they were redeemed previous to March
6. 1890. And the bank books corrobora to
Mr.. Walkers admis sion. So much for the
auditors reliability.
Now IL the correspondent wishes to
abuse me or my methods and thereby
amuse himself, let him fire away. but
stick to the truth and he will not hurt.

Arrested for Vagrancy-Early Morn
ing Fire at Mayfield.

Milton McKinna, a worthless charac-
ter, whose periodical visits to this bor-
ough is a source Of trouble to Chief of
Police Mckinley and a nuisance to the
community at large, was recently ar
rested for vagrancy and taken before
Justice Swick, to whom he admitted
the charge. The squire committed him
to the county Jail, where he will spend
the next three months.
The Traction House hotel at Mayfield,
the property of A. j. Gavin, of Jer-
myn, was completely destroyed by fire
yesterday morning. The hotel is rented
by David Kreate. and the origin of the
fire is mystery. 1t was discovered
at about 8 o'clock in the morning by q
family who lived over the hotel They
aroused the kreates, who on opening
the barroom door say that the whole
place was ablaze. An alarm was
promptly given and the william WAL
ker Hose company responded, but the
fire had attained such headway that
the firemen were powerless to stay the
flames. They, however. succeeded in
preventing the total destruction of
some of the barns and outhouses which,
nevertheless. were considerably dam
aged. The loss Is only partly covered
by insurance.

1t is sometimes an easy matter to
fool the public, but you can't keep 1t
up very long. They are sure to find
YOU out; and every time n man Is
fooled another skeptic Is made. We are
naturally skeptical when reading
published statement given by some
stranger residing in a far-aWay place,
but the circumstances are entirely diff
ferent when home endorsement is pre-
sented. The testimony of local citi-
zens renders deceit impossible. It Is SO
easy for you to investigate. Read this
case:

Sir. letter sent to the Republican

lished for me, was for some reason. best
known to the editor, excluded from the
columns OF that paper. l do not wish to
judge too hastily or too harshly on this
act, but at first sight 1t looks like "a
piece of lop-sidedness altogether incon-
sisteht with paper which processes to
be fair to all. The said letter contained
no personal abuse, 1t dealt only with pub
lie affairs and public men as such. On
