Friday morning last smoke was
Been issuing from the roof of the addi
tion of Judge Messenger's resi
dence. The alarm was at once
given, calling together a large
crowd of people. A hole was cut in
the roof but no fire was discovered,
nothing but smoke. The soot in the
chimney had taken fire, creating con
siderable smoke which escaped into
the attic through a hole in the chim
ney. No particular damage done, al-1
though the chimney was very hot.
The evidence taken in the con
tested election case of Curtin vs
Yocum, was closed at the office of
Hall & McCauley at midnight last
Tuesday, in a blaze of glory, with
Geo. D. Messenger on the stand. In
Elk county Mr. Curtin's counsel have
utterly failed by their evidence in
chief to establish the claim of their
client, and relied on cross examina
tion and the rebuttal to make
out a case. In this they have also
failed, and we consider Mr. Yocurn's
chauccs for retaining his seat, as
amounting to a certainty. Reports
from the other counties in the district
are favorable to Mr- Yocum.
Uor.se Thief Captured.
Quite a commotion was created in
Ridgway last Tuesday afternoon by
the return of a horse thief in company
with his captors. Sunday night a
white marg was stolen from the stable
of Soloman Stahlman, near Green
ville, Clarion county. A man had
applied for work the day before,
and suspicion at once fastened on him
as the probable thief. Mr. Stahlman
offered a reward of $25 for his arrest.
A party of men from near Green
ville, consisting of Samuel Bard,
Robt. Allison and John Smith, struck
the trail of the thief, following it into
Millstone township, Elk county.
The trail was followed with varied
success all day Monday, Mr. Thief try
ing to hike off across the country in
the direction of Marionville, Forest
county, but was prevented by the snow,
and finally took the main road direct
through- Ridgway, passing this place
early Tuesday morning, and going to
St. Mary's via the state road, where
he was arrested about a mile east of
the latter place near Kaul's mill,
Mr. R. M. Painter, of Millstone town
ship, who joined the party at this
place being the first man to lay hands
on the thief; Robt. Allison, John
Smith, and Daniel . Cannavan, of
this place, and the constable of St.
Mary's borough, assisting to surround
the man. The thief gave the name
of Miller, and is the same coon who
sold a horse to the Ross Brothers a few
weeks ago, and at the time jumped a
board bill of $20 at the Thayer house.
He spent Tuesday night in jail, being
taken down the creek Wednesday
morning on his journey to the Clarion
Co., jail. His pocket book contained
about three dollars in money .which he
M'ould have raised to a respectable
amount had he succeeded in selling
the gray mare which was a beautiful
looking beast, speaking well for his
Judgment of horse-flebh.

The new double postal card is in a
similar shape lo the present one cent
card. It bears at both upper corners a
one cent stamp, and lines are drawn
from the centre sloping downward to
each lower comer, to be written upon,
the writer of the card uses the left
hand side in writing his reply. The
double letter envelop is stamped twice;
and the sender uses the right and the
receiver uses the left hand side in
writing the address. At. the back of
this envelop is a double gummed flap,
divided by a perforated line. The
lower one is used for sealing by the
sender and the receiver uses his knife
along the perforated line and lias a new
gummed flap ready for use. The letter
sheet envelopes is designed to do away
with the outer envelopes. Its patentee
claims great merit for it for the reason
that it often occurs that the date at
which a writing has been mailed can
not be ascertained because the envelope
has been lost. Here the letter and the
envelope are one. The new law does
not direct the Postmaster General to
issue these patented conveniences. It
only gives him the discretion to do so.
They should come into general use.
Impudence Set Down Upon.
Some time since one of the brightest
and wittiest of Cincinnati's girls
went abroad, and when she.returned
home, about the first person to con
gratulate her on her safe return was
B , a young blood of the city,
whose dollars exceeded his sense in
the ratio of about a million to one.
"Aw, Miss X ," he said, "permit
me to greet you. I know you have
had a very pleasant trip abroad!"
"Yes," she answered, "very pleasant
indeed. I was all over the contiuent
and through England, Scotland and
Ireland."
"Ah, in Ireland, and did you see the
Blarney stone?"
"Yes I was there,"
"Oh, I should delight to see it It
has always been a desire of mine to
kiss that celebrated stone, but I have
never had the opportunity ''
"Indeed, then you should."
"I know, but I have not done so,
but why shouldn't I kiss it by proxy?
You have been there and kissed it,
why should I not take the influence
of the Blarney from your lips?" and
the smart Aleck stepped forward to
proxify the young lady. But she
drew back and looking him in the
face, said :
"I beg your pardon, my dear Mr.
B , but I sat upon the Blarney
stone."
Like a man with great sorrow, B
sank down, and he hasn't said "Ire
land" since, and the word "Blarney"
makes him delirious.
Tragedy at State Lino.
From the McKcnn Miner.
On Friday morning lastHenry Wag
ner and James Doyle, the former em
ployed in measuring lumber at Bullis
Mill and the latter engaged at the same
place in booming and assorting logs,
got into a dispute which ended in the
capsizing of one of the skiffs occupied
by Wagner and the drowning of the
latter. It appears that there were two
small boats about the mill, but on Fri
day, the day of the casualty, the work
of Doyle required the use of both and
he was assured by one of theeinployees
that - ho could have them. Wagner
was not aware of the privilege granted
Doyle and at the beginning of the
day's labor the former took one of the
boats and started up the river for some
purpose. Doyle returned from the
boom to the mill to get a pike-lever
when he saw Wagner rowing up the
stream. Doyle demanded the boat
saying that he would need it for work
on the booms, but Wager paid no at
tention, doubtless supposing it was
simply an attempt of Doyle to deprive
him of its use to satisfy,' if possible,
the ill-feeling which he was conscious
existed between them, for they had
not been on agreeoble terms for some
time past. Wagner told Doyle in a
sneering way that he could have the
boat if he could get it. This aroused
the anger of Doyle and he jumped
into the boat he had in use and started
in pursuit of Wagner. .The latter,
seeing the course of Doyle, immed
iately stopped rowing, and when Doyle
came close enough to him with one of
the oars he splashed water on Wagner,
and Wagner in return unshipped one
of his oars and dashed water on Doyle.
The latter, when within a proper dis
tance, jumped into the skiff occupied
by Wagner. By this time high words
were passing between the two men.
They raised their oars and each threat
ened to strike the other. A short
scuffle followed, during which they
capsized the vessel, and Wagner either
fell or was thrown into the river.
Doyle sworn to the left shore and
Wagner struggled about the water for
a short time endeavoring to reach the
boat. He failed in the attempt, how
ever, and disappeared and reappeared
several times. Doyle, after reaching
the river bank, took off his boots and
plunged into the stream again and
brought out one of the boats. By this
time Doyle became alarmed, and, with
several other persons who saw the
struggle, went to the rescue of the
drowning man. Doyle took a pike
pole and attempted to help the man.
Realizing that probably life was gone,
in his excited state, Doyle exclaimed,
"Oh, my God, what have I done?"
Wagner's body was taken ashore and
efforts made to resuscitate him, while
a man hastened to Eldred and sum
moned Dr. Guthrie. However, Henry
Wagner was beyond revival, and
nothing of course could be done even
when the physician did arrive.
The following TJay Coroner Blair was
notified of the matter, and proceeded
to State Line depot, where, after em
paneling a jury, the testimony of
James Doyle, and six other witnesses'
testimony was taken. After hearing
the evidence and some deliberation,
the jury found a verdict to the effect
that James Doyle was the cause of
Henry Wagner's death. A warrant
wus subsequently issued, and on Sun
day morning Doyle was arrested in
the neighborhood of Eldred and taken
to thecounty jail at Smethport.

This week is one of especial in
terest to several prominent denomina
tions of Christians and also to the
Jews. Maunday Thursday, or the day
before Good Friday, commemorates
the washing of the disciples' feet by
Christ. Good Friday, called in the
early days of the church, God's Friday
is a day memorable for fasting and
solemn services in remembrance of
the Saviour's crucifixion. Holy Sat
urday follows and then comes Easter
or Rising day, tlie greatest festival of
the Christian year. Monday evening
the Jewish passover began ; the feast
which celebrates the passage of the
destroying angel over sucfi houses of
the Israelites as exhibited a door post
sprinkled with the blood of a lamb.
The passover properly continues for
seven days, but is only kept for that
length of time by the strictest sect of
the Jews.
Dr. Manouvrleg, a Freich physician,
has published some novel observations
on a disease peculiar to bank clerks.
It has been repeatedly noticed for
years that bankers' clerkt, after having
handled for some days in succession
large quantities of silver five franc
pieces, suffer from disorders of the re
spiratory and digestive organs. These
have been ascribed to a dark-greenish
metallic dust, which is raised by tak
ing the coins from the bigs where they
are generally kept,' weighing them,
and puttingthem back. This dust im
pregnates the atmosphere of the room,
blackens the skin, and penetrates into
the respiratory and digestive tracts to
gether with the air and saliva. It the
years 1872 and 1874, wlen the money
which had been paid by France to
Prussia as a tribute was returned to
France through - mercantile transac
tions, the clerks spent an unusually
long time in handling the coins, which
had not been taken out of their bags
for some years, and t he affection was
more marked than ever. Owing to
the peculiar clrcumstanes under which
tills affection has been observed, there
can be no doubt as to its being due
partly to the copper (verdigris), and
partly to the oxidized stata of the
silver; both metals are used in the
coinage of the five-franc pieces in the
proportion of nine-tenths f silver and
one-tenth of copper.
Davenport, Iowa, April 6. Harry
C. Watt occupied apartments over his
cigar store on Third street, the family
consisting of his wife, their little
daughter Ed a, his wife's sisters,
Misses Louisa and Amelia filter and
an errand boy. Last night visitors
left the house at a quarter past eleven
o'clock, and Mr. and Mrs. Watt soon
retired. Miss Amelia had gone to bed
and her sister was preparing to do so
when she went to the bureau and
diuuk the contents of a glass, immed
iately fainting. Mrs. Watt.aroused by
screams, rushed into the room. Her
husband followed shortly, after. Miss
Louisa was found in the agonies of
death lying in a corner of the room.
Watt ended his life really before
Louisa did, but she lingered only a
mere moment of time after him. It is
unmistakably proved this evening that
the tragedy was a premeditated suicide
It came out that a letter had been
found in Watt's pocket addressed to
his wife, and that in this letter he told
the whole story of the deed and the
cause for it. It was intended by the
physicians to hold a post mortem, but
this the wife forbid after reading the
letter, as there could be no doubt of
the nature of the deed. The fact is
established that Harry C. Watt and
Louisa Filter had loved each other un
wisely and illicitly, and they bad de
termiued to end their troubles mu
tually with their lives. Prussie acid
was the agent used. Watt preparing
the dose for Louisa and then for him
self. A bottle containing the acid was
found in the room.

John Sherman, Secretary.
The Bank of Commerce yesterday
subscribed by telegraph for $40,000,-
000 of the four per cent Government
loan. It was at first rumored that the
subscription was mode for a syndicate,
comprising Drexel, Morgan & Co.,
Winslow, Lanier & Co., Sellgman &
Co., Morton, Bliss & Co., and the Bank
of Commerce, but subsequently It was
ascertained that the proposal had been
made on the responsibility of the Bank
of Commerce alone. The terms are
the same as laid down in Mr. Sher
man's circular of January last, viz:
the bank is to receive one-quartfr of
one per cent, with an additional one
tenth of one per cent in case the bid
exceed $10,000,000. This will give the
Bank of Commerce a profit of more
than $100,000. It is said that the
firms above named are interested to a
greater or less extent in the proposal
of the bank, but there are no means of
ascertaining whether they are or not.
This subscription will wipe out the re
mainder of the 'CTsand '68s, and enable
the Treasury, at a later date, to begin
to fund the 10-40s.
The telegraphic proposal of the Bank
of Commerce was made early in the
day, but later a number of influential
capitalists met at the Continental
Bank, and just after 3 P. M. agreed to
propose for $30,000,000 of the fours.
Their offer was telegraphed at once,
but the answer from the department
was that no further subscriptions would
be received at present Mr. Johh
Sherman, announced, in an Interview
a few days ago, that he would make a
stop in the issue of fours as soon as he
had succeeded in wiping out the '67s
and 68s;and wait for better terms before
he commenced the elimination of the
10-40s. Besides the $40,000,000 of the
Bank of Commerce, proposals for
about $7,000,000 were accepted at the
Treasury.
Dr. William Parke sums up his
views on the temperance question in
five conclusions: First There is a
wide distinction, which ought to be
recognized by temperance reformers.be-
tween fermented and distilled liquors.
In fermented liquor alcohol is found
in its natural chemical combination ;
in distilled liquor it is found pure and
simple. In the one case it may be em
ployed In diet and for nourishment;
in the other case it is to be regarded
only as a medicine, and as a dangerous
one, to be used only with caution. Fer
mented liquors include ale, beer, cider,
and the various wines. Second If
men would use pure fermented liquors
in moderate quantities, as a condiment,
and only in connection with their
meals, the use need not be harmful,
and at least in case of those post the
middle life might be beneficial. There
fore the State ought to license only real
inns, and for the sale of fermented
liquors alone. Third Total abstinence
is a good thing for everybody, because
the use of even fermented 'liquors is
dangerous, in that in some individuals,
especially in those who inherit a ten
dency to inebriety, it creates or
awakens an appetite for drink, and
healthy persons do not need them.
Fourth Distilled liquors are deadly.
Their use is productive of more disease,
physical, mental, and moral, than that
of any other known agent, and pro
duces an immeasurably greater num
ber of untimely deaths. Fifth Dis
tilled liquor is an indispensable medi
cine, but its sale should be confined to
drug stores, and on the prescription of
a physician.
The novel sight was presented in
the Texas Legislature, a week or two
ago of a member of that body speak
ing in Spanish in advocacy of a bill
'making the payment of poll tax a pre
requisite to voting. His argument,
which most of the body understood
although uttered in a foreign ongue,
was that at the lost election over one
thousand Mexicans had crossed over
and voted in Texas. The Spanish
must have been persuasive, as the bill
passed the lower house.
