Said to Ue Able to Uay a Continuous Trade—Mr. H eller’s Eoiiff Tenii ot Service—Tlie Pennsylvania Road at Engine Building. Assistant General Passenger Agent George Delia ven and Traffic Auditor E. P. Campbell of the Erie railway, have been whipping the trout streams and keeping a watchful eye out for bear in the Pike county wilderness. The Erie is placing the air brake on its freight cars. M. V. Heller has been station agent of the Erie railway here twenty-one years this month. The first shovelful of dirt throv’n out of the breaking of ground for the Hew York and Erie railroad, now Erie railway, was thrown out by Samuel R. Rugles of New York who is still living and known as the “ Venerable S. T.” It was done at De posit, N. Y., at daylight, on November .25th, 1835, The Pennsylvania Railroad company builds its own locomotives, and at the Al toona shops can turn one out complete in seventeen hours. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co. pays out between $30,000 and $40,000 a month as a relief fund to sick and injured employes. “ Jim ” Turner of Turners, Orange county, was the pioneer keeper of a rail road restaurant In this country, he having opened one at Turners more than 45 years A brother of Hugh Riddle, the great western railroad President, is baggage porter at the Hawley depot, on the Erie. He has trundled trunks on that platform since 1864. An important invention in railway prac tice is the method invented by a Baltimore electrician for welding steel rails by elec tricity, which will enable track layers to lay a continuous track. The ends of the rails, after they are placed in the track, are welded together through the applica tion of a transformed electric current, and are afterward tempered so as to make the joint as hard as the rest of the rail. The W Ming apparatus is carried on the pilot of an engine or on a construction car. The inventor proposes to thus make continuous rails a quarter of a mile in length, having expansion joints only at intervals of that distance, the rails being fastened at the centre so as to expand in both directions. Making the joint only takes half a minute. This plan if successful, says the Railroad Gazette, would settle the great Fisher rail joint question, but the accumulated ex pansion and contraction in such long lengths of solid rail would be formidable. Orrin Nimls, a young man 19 years of age, a resident of Elmira, was struck by Erie train 4 at Waverly about 3.30 o’clock Thursday morning and instantly killed. When the station employes arrived at the scene of the accident they discovered the body ot Warren Swain, a resident of Che mung, lying in the ditch a few rods away from Niml’s body. Both were removed to the depot Michael T. McDermott has been ap pointed to the position of Erie agent, at Cochecton. He had been working at Hawley. MAYOR HEWITT HISSED. Demonstration Against New York City’s Chief Magistrate. A mass meeting was held last night un der the auspices of the County Democracy in the Academy of Music and Nilsson Hall in New York to ratify the nominations of Cleveland and Thurman. Speaker Car lisle and Governor Hill were the lions of the occasion and came in for a good deal of cheering. The most notable event of the occasion was a prolonged demonstra tion against Mayor Hewitt, who was ab sent, but sent a letter. When the Secre tary uttered the Mayor’s name there arose from all parts of the hall hisses jeers and cat-calls. The demonstration continued for a minute. When the secretary was at last enabled to read the letter the mayor’s declaration that his duties would not permit him to take part in politics was received with de risive laughter. BETTING AGAINST CUEVEUAND. The New York World to day contained this wager in its advertising columns : P r e s id e n t ia l w ager - a solid North.

The annual adjustment of the salaries of the postmasters of the Presidential pade and the new pay schedule will go into effect at the beginning of the fiscal year July 1. Under this adjustment there are 333 Presidential postoffices in New York. There has been an unusully large number of changes in the salary account, owing principally to enlarged postal business, and hence there has been a pretty general advance of pay all along the line. The new salaries for those offices where changes have been made will be as fol- Mt. Kisco, North Tarrytown, $1,100; Brewster, CoxsacMe, Dobbs Perry, Cro ton, Irvington, $1,300 ; Rhinebeck. $1,- 400; Haverstraw, $1,500; Fishkill, $1,- 600; Saugerties, $1,700; Catskill, Peeks- kill, $3,100 ; Port Jervis, $3,200 ; Kings ton, Rondout, $3,300 ; Middletown, $3,- 500; Poughkeepsie, $3,000.\ HARRISON AT HOME. Soiitliern Delegates Calling—A New York Editor Dines with Him. There were many callers at the real- dence of General Harrison in Indianapolis Thursday, but there has been no such rush as on Wednesday or the previous day. Thursday morning several Southern delegates, most of them from Texas, called upon him, and Thursday evening Elliot P. Sheppard, editor of the New York Mail and Express, took dinner with the family. Mr. Sheppard thinks that there is no doubt about the ticket’s success in New York. General Harrison was unable to attend Thursday the meeting at Danville of men who voted for Fremont in 18.56, but many people w’ent from Indianapolis. GONE TO CENTRAL AMERICA. Russell F. Lord, jr., formerly in the employ of the Del. & Hud. canal company, and located in our borough, sailed from ban Francisco for Salvador, one of the Republics of Central America, on Tuesday, where he has accepted a position as super intendent of a railroad. His two sons al so fill responsible positions under tbe same corporation. Patrick Brannon, another Honesdaler, is a prominent railroad con tractor in the same locality.—Siwiesctofe Citizen. HE WOULD TAKE SOME CREAM. For more than ten years we have adver tised ice cream festivals, etc., free of Charge, and hope to keep up the practice for a hundred years to come. Still, the idea strikes us that it would be a good joke for the festival managers to occasion ally send a little cream to the Standard office—not for publication but as a guar antee of good faith and a genuine surprise party.— Windsm^ Standard. WELL, WE WILL. It is doubtful whether even the Port Jervis U nion will whoop up Harrison very highly.— I'he Evening Gazette. FLOWERS FOR COMMENCEMENT.

Professor Laiiti'y Takes Morplilne Niglit aiul Tlien Cuts H is Tliroat. Taking Notes o f the Drug’s Effect. Prof. Francis T. Lantry of Manlius, N. Y., was found dead with his throat cut in a room of the Astor House at New York Thursday morning. The suicide was discovered by a chambermaid who was going her rounds cleaning the rooms. The dead man had first attempted sui cide by taking morphine, and failing in this, bad resorted to the razor. On the table was found a number of letters addressed iu a fine flowing hand. With the letters on the table was found a mem orandum reading: “ Please post tbe stamped and sealed letters without open ing. They give information of interest only to those addressed, and do not at all involve these persons.” On acother slip of paper found in the room was a record kept by the suicide of the effect of the morphine upon him. According to this he swaljowed enough of the drug in the form of pills to kill three horses. He had undoubtedly taken too much of the drug to effect his purpose, and then resorted to the razor. In the record he stated that he had taken one hundred morphine pills without effect. The suicide held at one time the posi tion of chief examiner for the State Board of Education. Prof. Lantry prob ably killed himself on account of his poverty and for fear (hat he would soon become blind. Rev. Dr. Ward, who committed suicide some time ago, Englewood, N. J., after attempting to kill his wife, was a brother-in-law of the deceased. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES. To be held in the Opera House this Evening. The annual commencement exercises of , the Port Jervis Academy will be held in j the Opera House to-night. The graduat ing class comprises 33 persons, the largest number in any previous class in the his tory of the academy.

Wells of New York is in town for next week’s holiday. Miss Lena Hammond of Syracuse Uni versity is home for the summer vacation. Elmer C. Sherman of Orange, N. J., a former principal of the Port Jervis Academy, is iu town. Dr. Wm. S. Torrey, a son of Cashier Torrey of the Honesdale National banh; sails for Europe on Saturday, in the steamer Furnessia, accompanied by his wife and child. They are to be absent about three months and will pass most of the time in Switzerland. THE NEWBUKG DISASTER. The bodies of Mrs. B, B, Odell, jr., and Miss Annie L; Miller, who were drowned in the Hudson at Newburg, Wednesday evening, after the collision of the steamer Baldwin with the naphtha launch Enid, have not been recovered. Joseph Rose, the young man to whom Miss Miller was betrothed, will become wholly insane it is feared. At his earnest solicitation she nadgiven up a class reunion to accompany him and he feels that her death is on his shoulders. AN EARLY CAMPAIGN IN NEW YORK Ex- Senator Thomas 0. Platt arrived in Now Y'ork from Chicago Thursday morn ing. He said : “ The nominations are excellent and there are no doubts about the ticket being successful. The party is united and everyone will work earnestly for the ticket. It is foolishness to talk of dissatisfaction. The party in this state will immediately commence an agressive campaign.” Mr. Platt also said it was the wish of the leaders that Warner Miller should be the nominee for Governor. IT WILL DAILY GROW STRONGER Mr. J. S. Clarkson of the Republican National Sub-Oommittee says that the Chicago Convention was the most delib erate and serious body that the party has had since the sixties. It was no political combinations that brought about the nomination of General Harrison. The ticket, he savl, would constantly increase in strength, and that Gresham was the choice of the convention after Harrison. BADEAU-GRANT CASE POSTPONED General Adam Badeau’s suit against Mrs. Julia D. Grant, widow of General U. S. Grant, to recover $10,000 alleged to be due as compensation for services rendered General Grant in the preparation of his memoirs,was called in the Supreme Court special term at New Y’orkThursday.

Free trade means putting all the labor ing men of the world upon one level of competition. Protection means restricting the compe tition among laborers to those living in our own country, and the consequence of such restriction is that wages remain at a high level, whereas, if the competition of all the laborers in the world were allowed to operate her^ they would steadily fall to the lowest level. That is the reason why workingmen of this country are better paid, are more pros perous, live in a better manner, are better educated, and bring up their children with more of hope and ambition than belongs to workingmen in any other country. That is why the workingmen of the United States like the American system of protection and dislike the British sys tem of free trade. ---- -------- MR. DONNELL’S SIXTH TERM. Mr. Jno. L. Bonnell, Master of Port Jervis Lodge No. 328, has for the 6th term received the appointment of Assist ant Grand Lecturer of the 2nd Judicial District of the state of New York, em bracing the counties of Richmond, Kings, Suffolk, Dutchess, Queens, Orange, West chester, Putnam and Rockland. These counties contain 131 Masonic Lodges and about 14,000 Master Masons. He is re quired to impart the standard work and Lectures used and practiced by, and ap proved and adopted by the Grand Lodge June, 1859, and re-adopted June, 1877. REPUBLICAN PROf^PECTS PROBABILITIES OF SUCCESS .SHOWN BY THE NEW YORK “ SUN.” The Situation Clearly Outllnea—Indiana and Connecticut Thought to he the Battle Ground—The Chances of Indiana Going Republican. Prmn the New York Smi (hid. Dem.). The Republican Presidential ticket is a ticket shrewdly and ekilllully selected, and when its points of excellence are per ceived the Democrats will find themselves obliged to make a more vigorous and active fight than they now seem in clined to do. General Harrison’s nomi nation depends for success in Novemoer on a very simple electoral calculation.

It is against lying, stealing, adultery and murder, as much as against drunken, ness. Theoretically, even whisky makers and drinkers approve of this plank. The Fisk Prohibitionists also must necessarily approve of it or stultify themselves. MEETING OF THE TOWN BOARD The Town Board met at town clerk Hornbeck’s office, Thursday afternoon, at 3 o’clock, to take action on the contract for the new bridge at Peter D, Swart- wout’s. On motion it was resolved thas in the present defective condition, the contract be referred to the Groton Bridge Company for them to point out correc tions. In addition to the $500 yet unex pended $1,000 more was appropriated. This was due to the action of the last meeting. WEDDINGS AT CORNWALL. Two brilliant wedding occurred in Cornwall Wednesday evening. Miss Lizzie Mead, daughter of Mr. Chas. H. Mead. being married to Charles E. Mailler, a prominent young man of that place ; and Ella Lillian Price, the oldest daughter of Mr. Geo. A. Price, the Court Grier, to Mr. John L. Couser. IN THE POLICE COURT, The case of John Viesky against John Byrne and Joseph Burke for assault in the third degree was tried before Judge Cox and a jury this morning, and resulted in a verdict of “ not guilty.” The case arose from some ti'ouble between the parties on the 17th of June near the Deer- park brewery. PELTON AND HIS SNAKES, Elijah Pelton, the snake catcher, passed through here to-day on his way to Shohola Glen where he will exhibit his lot of snakes, numbering 376. 370 of them are rattlers. Pelton is said to have recently captured near here a rattlesnake 11 feet 4 inches in length, with 33 rattles on its tail.

Mr. Blaine was just 19 short in 1884, and should General Harrison do as well in the Republican states, he will need just that number. Of these Indiana, Harrison’s state, is counted on to furnish 15. Cleveland, with Hendricks running for Vice President, carried it in 1884 by 6,513, but there was then a Greenback vote of 8,393 and a Prohibition vote of 2,028, Harrison will certainly be stronger in Indiana than Blaine was four years ago, and the death of Mr. Hendricks has de prived the Democracy of that state of its most conspicuous, respected and efficient leader. At the last state election in In diana, that of 1886, the Democrats were beaten by 4,324. The 15 electoral votes of Indiana would leave the Republicans within four of the number required to elect. There are ex pected from the state of Connecticut, which has alway been remarkably close and which was carried by Mr. Cleveland in 1884 be a meagre plurality of 1,284, with a Prohibition vote of 3,489, the greater portion of which will probably fall back into tbe Republican column this year. Connecticut is a high tariff state, and went against Hancock in 1880 by 2,656 Should the Republicans succeed, either by good management or by the projection of the tariff issue, in securing the electoral votes of Connecticut, they will have more than a majority and will be entirely independent of New York. It will not do for the Democrats to un derrate the political importance of the Harrison and Morton ticket. While its nomination makes Indiana and Connecti cut, from this time on, the veritable battle ground. New York is not with drawn from the question, for while it is absolutely indispensable to the success of Cleveland and Thurman, its loss would by no means deprive the Republicans of their chances, or render the fight hopeless for them. They won the election of 1868 without New York and might be able to do it again. Underlying all this is the fact that General Harrison, like General Garfield, is an Ohio man, a native of the Buciseye state, and that Morton, like Arthur, the Vice President nominee of the ticket of 1880, is a New Yorker. Indeed, the Re publican ticket of 1888 has many points of resemblance to the Republican ticket of 1880, and, as all Democrats remember, the latter won. ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT SOLD. The brick buildings, engines, dynamos, etc., of the Newburg Electric Lighting Company were sold yesterday. The plant was sold to Mr. Wm. Putney, as trustee of a syndicate, composed of most of the judgment creditors of the company, and also a number of citizens of Newburg and vicinity, mostly stockholders. It brought $63,000. 'The purpose of the purchasers is to organize a company and continue the business. THE WEATHER FORECASTS.

An Anti-Cleveland Club In Lockport, dolm Jarrett Says tbe Labor Men Like the Republican Nominees—A Bepnb- lican Convert. The Lockport Journal has an interview with Hon. Mortimer M. Southworth, a Democrat, who repudiates Cleveland and comes out for Harrison and Morton. Mr. Southworth joined the Democratic party in the Greeley campaign. He voted for Cleveland in 1884, but repudiates him for two reasons : His letter ot acceptance of 1884 promised that he would not run the second time, and his repeated ignoring of civil service reform. Mr. Southworth characterized his free trade message as an arrogant committal of the party to heresy. The gentleman has been prominent, and his coming out openly for Harrison will have the effect of a se vere setback to the Democrats in the Niag ara county. An anti-Cleveland and Thur man club is being formed in the Second ward of Lockport that numbers already over a hundred followers from the Demo cratic fold. IN FAVOR OF THE PLATFORM. Pittsburg Labor Men Satisfied witb tbe Republican Nominees. PiTTSBUKG, June 38.—John Jarrett in an interview last evening, said that the Re publican ticket was a good one and the platform excellent. “ I callqd at the headquarters of several labor organizations to-day,” he said, “ and find the sentiment of aU our labor leaders is that a better platform could not have been formed. They do not express them selves very strongly on the candidates, merely saying they were satisfied with them. I have heard many of our labor leaders who are Democrats express their determination to vote for the Republican nominees.” S h e l e y v u l e , 111., June 28.—The Hon. Charles Voorhis of Windsor, for eight years a Democratic State Senator from this district, has declared in favor of Har rison and Morton and will speak at the Republican ratification meeting here Sat urday night. WILL STRIKE FOR PROTECTION. A Prominent Erie County Democrat wiH ^ Vote for Harrison. H aeeisbueg , Pa., June 28.—Hon. Frank S. Heath of Erie county, a leading Demo crat and at one time State chairman o f the Labor party, has announced bis determina tion to support the nominees of the Re publican party. In a letter to a friend in Harrisburg, under date of June 37, he said: ‘ ‘ Being a life long Protectionist, I propose to take a hand in the settlement of that issue this fall on the side of my convic tions.” Mr. Heath in 1880 was one of the Democratic nominees for Assembly and has been active in Erie county politics for twenty years. He is a fluent and able speaker and his connections with the labor interest will enable him to strike heavy blows against Democracy and its Free= trade tendencies. The Leader, the leading independent paper of Pittsburg, for the first time in years, has come out flat footed in favor of tne Republican nominee. It is for Har rison and protection as against Cleveland and free trade. TO GO TO GETTYSBURG. A Party to Leave Here To-Morx’ow—Veter ans Gathering.
