State news briefs touch elections and industry figures
A Philadelphia clerks’ corps gathers statistics for Congress while Democrats nominate Joseph Is. Turopp for Congress in Blair and Cambria counties. Reports of Allegheny, Centre, and Luzerne counties include a new Kalghis commandery in Sunbury, a campaign plan by the Lincoln party, and a Brown-Cuellan pact to push federal ties. Philadelphia transit deals exclude certain lines, and comments cite Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland and miner George Yutko at Buck Mountain. News covers a fatal rock fall, a fire scare at a motel, a near-miss breaker arson in Shamokin, and Freeman of Scranton’s death. The Scranton Business College ads promote shorthand training and an August 10 auction sale of a Clyde Street house.
