The republicans Of Pennsylvania
made no mistake when they rallied
around the party standard bearer il
1886, aud they have reason for great
pride in the fact that their State led the
victorious column with the magnificent
plurality Of 100000 votes. With the
record Of the past three years before
them there is good reason why they
should this year swell their majority
another 100000 votes, OF make the
choice Of President Mckinley for a sec

Mrs. Van Ausdale. wife of Captain Van
Ausdale, had a very narrow escape from
being killed this morning.
She was driving a spirited horse on
Valley street, and was headed toward the
bridge, when one of the Rumford Chemi-
cal Co.'s teams came into sight. AS
she refined out of its way she ran her
team into a Taunton avenue car. The
foot board of the car struck the front
wheel of the carriage, which was COM
pletely overturned. but Mrs. Van AUS
dale escaped injury.
The carriage was wrecked, and the
horse at furious gait was seen a few
moments later below Carpenters cor
ner. Mrs. Van Ausdals says that there
is no one to blame for the accident but
herself.
George b. Booth. who is very much
of a cripple. was arrested on Taunton
avenue last evening for being drunk.
He was driving a team or al. least had
