FOR MAYOR OF WILLIAMSPORT
Mansel Again Called to Protect Pennsylvania
City from Old Party Mis-Rule.

WnL1AMsPoRr, PA, January 96-(Specia cor
respondence). A most interesting political con-
dition exists in this city of 10000 people, brought
about by the municipal primary here yesterday.
The better element of the Republican party in
the city tried to nominate for mayor a good,
moral business man in the person of Samuel NJ
Williams, but he was defeated by al votes by
Charles D. Wolf, a commercial broker, who is
reputed to conduct "bucket-shop," and is a
leader in the "fast set" The better element of
the Democratic party tried to nominate an ex-
cellent man. L. L. Walton, but he was defeated
by 2o6 votes by Perry S. Hartman, young man
of unknown qualifications and of character CIV
ing no hope of an able administration.
Fortunately for the citizens of the city the
Prohibtionists again nominated James Mansel
who was elected the straight Prohibition ticket
mayor in 1896 and gave three years of the most
able administration this city ever had.
Mr.. Mansel is one of the most prominent bust
ness men of the city and offered the nomi
nation by prominent old party men if he would
only accept it at old party hands But he de-
clned their offer. When the Prohibition leaders
again asked him to become their candidate he
accepted It was freely predicted about the
polling places last evening by large numbers of
if the Democrats and Republicans did nominate
the men whom the returns showed were nomi-
mated, Mr.. Mansel would be easily elected on
straight Prohibition ticket The Prohibitionists
are happy over the situation.

Some Facts About Insurance.

J. NJ. Critics, who resides near
Dongola, had the misfortune to lose
his new barn by fire November 25,
which was caused by lightning. The
amount Of loss is estimated to be
more than $1,000. The barn was
very large one and about completed. =.
and was being used to store Mr.
Crites's crop.
A large amount Of hay and corn,
and Il mare and mule were burned.
About twenty-eight head Of horses
and mules were under the shed of
the barn ut the time it was struck
by lightning, but some carpenters
and other work hands were 1T the
barn at the time and were able to
get the stock out, except the two
that were in stalls. They were
burned.
There was no insurance except
$3.50 on the corn by The Bollinger
County Farmers Mutual Aid Soci-
ETY.. This amount will be adjusted
and paid at once, together with two
other small losses recently sustained;
one for $40 by John ii. Yount and
another for s5 by Joseph Van
gennip, without making any assess
ment by the society as there is
means in the treasury to meet these
! losses.
This society has been organized
eleven years and has been gradually
growing in strength until its mem
bership now.. numbers 665, and
carries insurance amounting to al
most 100000. This is IL great
saving in the way Of insurance to
the farmers of this county.
The insurance carried is against

 Ira Graham was the only repre- sentative from Springdale who was present at the meeting. which was fairly well attended. Some committees were appointed, and an effort Wil1=b made to get I representative of the Pure Food Commission to visit this section, and make q personal investiga- tion and analysis of the effects of sulphur in evaporated fruit. An- other meeting will be held at Rogers on Saturday. March II, at 1:5o p m, and all eYaporator men in Washington, Benton and Madison Counties are urged to be present. Ii sulphur is barred from Use in bleaching fruit, 1t will work great injury to the business and affect Hot only the evaporation men, but all who grow fruit. Under these circumstance 1t would seem that there should be d good attendance at tl1e Rogers meeting.
