REPUBLICAN NATE COMMITTEE.
Hearing of Contesting DeIegatfons-
 Louisiana Gases Settled.

| Philadelphia, June 14.-Practically the
 entire day was devoted to the Louisiana contest by the Republican National com.
 nlttee and the controversy was finally de-
 cided in favor of the Weymouth faction. | This was an overthrow for the federal l officeholders of Louisiana, ten of whom were on the delegation headed by Wimber- ly, collector of the port of New Orleans. When the committee assembled it was an- | nouuced that the sub committee which was appointed yesterday to consider the Della ware contest was not ready to report, and passing over this case temporarily the com mittee took up that from the first Georgia district The contestants were Joseph F. Doyle and R. R. Wright and the contestees j. H. Deyeaux and W. R. Leaken. - The contest grew out of the rival claims of J. R. Delegal and NJ. L. Pleasant to the dis trlct chairmanship, and the committee de cided in favor of the Deveaux delegation
 The district of Columbia contest was set tied in favor Of ]. r, Jones and W. C. Chase and against Dr. Robert Reyburn and George w. Lee, the latter a colored preach CT.
 Chairman Hanna is the center of interest and is much sought after for interviews in the hope that he will give some indication of his choice for the vice presidency. He is still nOn-cOmmittal, and while he has been quoted in several papers his state ments are of general character. Senator Hanna has been very seldom in the commit tee room and apparently avoids taking part ill the deliberations of the committee so far as the contests are concerned.
 MT. Fesscnden Of Connecticut presided over the committee all day. even during the brief periods when Senator Hanna was present As to the vice presidency. while 1t is the uppcrmost topic of discussion, members of the committee and other lead
 ing Republicans here seem to he still at sea. Nearly every prominent Republican who says anything about it remarks that the field is still open and the best man will win"

They Saw the Humorous Side of Life

w. l.. Huffman and family,
Vernon Hull and family, Mrs. VIM.
Hull, Mrs. j. w. Huffman, Mr.. G.
f. Darby of Hillsgrove and Mrs. S.
d. Darby of Hoytville were in the
county capital a few hours on Satur-
day while on their way home from a
couple days outing at the Eagles
Mere Chautauqua. While here one
of the parties took the editor out
back of the wood pile to confidential
ly tell him some of the outlandish
"breaks" some of his party had
made and told how ashamed he was
of them. 1t seems that Mr.. Huffman
in leading the party to Laporte, took
the driveway around the lake which
was travelled several times before
advised by some of the party that he
was on the wrong road. Mr.. Hull
he said, carried away the key to his
hotel room thinking it was present
from the good clerk. Darby's mon
uments of truthes were heard by
more than the Editor and that is
why he got the other end of the affair.
Mr.. Darby thought he ought to lead
the party in going into Eagles Mere
so that he could better show the
quality of the Mere how grandly
Hillsgrove society could put on airs.
This honor was granted to him and
on the way, unknown to him, a
bundle of hay and sheaf of oats
was studiously placed in the back
end of his carriage so that it would
attract attention. And it did. AS
they passed Hotel Eagles Mere Mr..
Darby was unable to account for his
feeling as green as a gOoseberry at
the great hoObOO raised about that
''man with the hoe" coming to town.
Score one for Darby.

One of Our County's Prosperous Manu-
featuring Establishments. The Nord-
mont Acid Works

mont Acid Works.
One Of the most thriving o! Sulli-
van county's numerous industrial
establishments is the acid factory of
SuttOn-Peck Chemical Co. situated
at Mordmont, where willing hands
find employment and timber owners
find ready sale for their wood.
The factory at Emmons, recently
burned, was operated by this same
company, who have reconstructed
another and have it nearly ready to
resume work.
Each factory employs fifteen men
to operate them while in summer
fifty men are engaged in cutting
wood and i'm the winter the number
is sometimes increased to one hum
dred. Fifteen cords OF four-fOot
wood are consumed daily and the
out put for that amount is 600 bushels
of charcoal, $500 lbs. of acetate of
lime and POO gallons of wood alcohol.
This concern has grown from one
small factory in Indiana county to
one that owns and controles three
large factories all equipped with the
most modern machiner and devices
for making the highes grade product
that is possible. The factory at En-
mons began operation in March,
1898; the one at Nordmont in Sept.
1899. AS will be seen in another
column the two old companies have
dissolved and organized under new
name, the object being to effect a
consideration with other factories
which now comprises the same stock
of Sutton-Peck Chemical Co., and
still retains all the parties named in
the notices of former companies. AT
the head of this company are +. NJ.
Peck, Pres, John w. Sutton, Sec'y.,
and r. Kessler, Jr., Treas. and Gen.
Manager, all of whom are active and
progressive business men highly es-
teemed by those doing business with
them.
The daily product of each factory,
as before stated, seems to be a petty
big out put as a whole, yet it will
not be wondered that these establish
ments are crowded with orders while
works are being run steady day and
night, when it is known that the
product is sold to various govern
ments, steam ship agents and iron
manufacturers. The charcoal is
used by iron foundries and cooking
galleys on ocean steamers. Wood
alcohol is exported to Holland, Ger
many and France where it is used for
making smokeless gun powder. This
alcohol is also used in place of turpen-
tine for cutting paints and varnish,
and is deadly poison. Acetate of
lime is also used for making smoke
less gun powder and dyeing fabrics.
1t is an industry of the kind that we
would like to see in operation at this
place. The firm works in all about
three hundred men, ,and is liberal and
fair i'm its dealings with all it's
employees.
