DEMOCRATS IX CONFERENCE.
STILL IN A DEADLOCK.
John W. Flynn, Supt.for Union Tannine:
Co., nndß. P. Crossley Teller of Dushore
Bank, Join the Body ns Welsh's Con
ferees.
The Democratic conferrees of this
! district met on Tuesday, in Sunbury,
to continue balloting for a choice,
having made a failure at a previous
; meeting to nominate au opponent to
W'm. 11. Woodin. I'p to the time
of going to press, three sessions have
been held I nit without i hoice. I luring
Hie first session four delegates voted
for Davis, of Northumberland, and a
like number for I'olk, of .Montour.
I.ater, Fritzof ('olunibia, and Davis
received two votes each anil I'olk
! four. As this is not it conference of
men who are about to become dem
ocrats but democrat-already, of
j original patent,who show - thesincer
i ity of their principles by open and j
! outspoken devotion to it platform of'
I fifty cent dollars and sprags to thej
| wheels of all industries,it will not be
surprising if this session ends in a
bloody conflict of arms.

The Jlrtiiiifriui Jfr.wnf/i rof Lacy
ville has the following to say of flu-
Land tournament held at that place
September 2. "The division of prizes
! caused considerable dissatisfaction. I
! Many spectators and not a few band
j men claimed tlint the first prize
should have been awarded to the
Bernice Hand. We have been told
that a lady who was on the ground
; alleges that she heard it member of
the Stevensville Band tell the judge
before the contest, that there w as s!.">
in it tor him. It is also said that
Stevensville had two or three players
from Wilkes Barre. Of course these
remarks are rufnors and we do not
know whether they are true or not,
but if there is any foundation to the
allegations, then the judge was not it
fit or competent man for the position.'
The above is an exact copy of what
W its said in the Lacyvi lie paper of
September 7, and goes to show what
was said last week, was the truth,
and that our band did not get w hat
it justly won at the contest, but there
is one thing that is in the boys' favor
if they did not get first prize as they
should have got; they won the good
will of the people, and that is a good
deal more than the judge has got and
in fact some of the bands.

The action of theeo* icrence of this

in Ilanville recently for the purpose
of uominatino' a candidate to succeed |
Conu'rcssniiin Isulp, sio-nifies the fact
that .Mr. Woodin is considered the
j strongest man in the district upon |

ferred. 11 is excellent i|iialitication
for the position he seek- are readily
acknowledged by hi- political oppo

county convention Inst week. Ilis

Home From a Trip to Porto liico.
Miss Mollie Krch'r,a trjiincd nurse
.of exalted rank in I'licle Sam's ser
vice, arrived in town on Saturday,
and seemed fairly overflowing with
hitrh spirits, and explained it by de
claring that -lie i- in "lovely health"
and wondrously •flad to be "home
in l.aportc ajjain." Mi— Keelerwas
sent to old Point Comfort, Virginia,
at the breaking out of the war, and
: \\ hen < ieneral Miles and -tall'left for
Porto Itico. she was -elected by Mrs.
Mile-to attend her on thi- expe
dition. <)n arriving at Porto Rico,
i her vacation was anything but a
i period of recreation for when Mi-s
, : Kcelcr saw the jyrcat need of more
! assistance where death and disease
won- I icing fought with as much
bravery as was shown on the tiring
line, she acted the part of a heroine,
and with the permission of Mrs.
.Miles resumed arduous duties in a
hospital during spare time. For this
| generous service she was given a
furlough upon arriving in New
York on Wednesday aboard the
[transport Ohdam, which sailed from
! Police September 1, with (ieneral
| Miles and statf. She talks very in
! terestingly of her much enjoyed trip,
| and in an interview by a New York
; .hiuriKil reporter, furnished substance
for a column of rich new- matter in
I which Miss Kecler was highly laud
led by the writer. She says, "new s
j paper reporters are the most dread
-1 fill things on earth. An army of
: them swooped down upon the < >bdani
|as she lay otf Liberty island, like
j vultures on a dead carcass, and such
irrepressible fellovVs are seldom
: met." When asked if there was
! any credence in the reports of in
ettieacioti- attention given disaliled
j soldiers, she expressed the opinion
i that there has been too much criticism
'complaint and condemnation pub
' lished regarding the condition of
sick soldier-. The great trouble be
ing in the fact that preparations
necessarily made in advance fell a
little short of what was unexpectedly
! demanded, hut that the olttcers all
made the liest of the conditions that
surrounded them. Miss Mollie's
many admiring friends regrets I to see
her leave with so short a visit, Tues
day, en route to Old Point Comfort
to resume her duties.
