DAVID DAVIS. ex-Vice Presi dent, died at his home in Blooming ten, Illinois, on Saturday, June 2Gtb. His physicians say that the immedi ate cause of bis death was a malignant carbuncle which made its appearance last April. Judge Davis'death creat ed profound sorrow in Bloomington. He held the position of United States Senator from Illinois to which he was elected in 1877. By the succession of Vice-President Arthur to the vacancy created by President Garfield's death Mr. Davis became acting Vice-President. Since the expiration of his senatorial term he led a retired life. YESTERDAY was the Republican red letter day in Harrisburg, and the at tendance of the Republican state con vention which convened there in the morning was large and loud. We go to press too early to publish any of the proceedings but, as stated before, the head of the state ticket was all fixed this good while by the bosses and it is —Gen. James A. Beaver, tcr Gov ernor. Col. Stewart, of Montgomery, is most likely to be nominated for Secretary of Internal Affairs. Be tween Montooth, of Pittsburg,and ex- Senaior Davies, of Bradford county, for the Lieut. Governorship, the latter seems to have the inside track. A SAD LESSON on Strikes is given 6n tbe following article from the Phil saddpbla Times : Thirteea months ago the nailers •employed in Pittsburg, Wheeling and adjacent places struck for increased wages. The employers declared themselves unable to pay the increase demanded and elosed their mill 3. There were 3,500 either engaged in the strike or dependent upon the gtri kers for employment , and most of them have now been idle for more than a year. The Association fias paid out to starving families the sum of $28,000, and the loss to labor In wages is not less than $3,000,000. After thirteen months of seif-eefbr ced idleness, waste and starvation, the strikers are about to return to work at substantially the same wages offer ed and refused when the strike began, Tfce lesson needs no waste of space to suggsest its application. It is the old, old story ■; tie madness, the waste, the starvation, the demoraliza tion of strikes, all of wbjcfa fall upon labor 1n the end. Honest arbitration would have say ed millions to both employers and em ployed, but labor agitators were heed ed and Jabor paid the fearful penalty. "THE following article which was ■written up for this paper by a gentle man who takes an active part in the •prohibition campaign, reached us too late last week for insertion, but as the proceedings of the convention are of much interest to many of our readers we give it space in this week's JOUR NAL : -"The Centre County Prohibition convened in Bellefonte on 'Taesday, June 22nd, with about sixty .present, including ladies. convention opened with devotion al exercises, after which J.

Saw-Mill Hands Poiaonod. MJFFLINTOWX, Pa., June 27.—Con siderable interest and excitement has l>een created in tbe western part of Ju iiiala county by the serious pofsoning of a lot of inen, who were working at a steam saw-mili iu the vicinity of Wa terloo. The men after a from 3 brook of fresh mountain water, suddenly ill and the.symptoms strongly indicated poison. The facts of tbe case are still shrouded in mystery, but enough has been learned to warrant the statement that the poison placed in the stream some distance abave the mill by a party who are jealous and anxious for the places now occupied by tigs present workmen. The circum stances axe being thoroughly investiga ted, and it is probable the case will be settled before a court of justice. Indications of An Independent , Movement. A special to the New York Sun cred its Mr.' George E. Mapes with the man aging oar in a scheme to organize an anti-Quay and anti-Beaver movement ;p Pennsylvania.

John Cessna, State Senator Lew' Emery, Jr., candidate for Congress from the Sixteenth district, and State Senator Lee, of Venango, although there is some doubt about Uic /atter.' Mr. Mapes proposes to hold a coher ence of independents in Pittsburg with in the thirty £g,ys to discuss the best means to 4ow;a State Treasurer Quay, Chairman Tom.Cooper, Chns L. Mageeandtne other Stalwarts. This will doubtless take tbe shape of an in dorsement of Charley Wolfe's candida cy on the Prohibition ticket for Gov ernor. It also means a possible attempt to secure Democratic aid in the same direction. About tho Oro Prop rty and Now Furnaoo at Bellefcmto.

Loss of Sovon Philadelphia VPRSOIO and Eighty-Four Livoa during tho last Six Mouths. The th st six months of the present year has witnessed many disasters to Philadelphia shipping,and old Captains say they do not recollect when so many vessels or so many lives haye been lost within so short a period. The storms during the winter months were unus ually severe, and in view of the number of wrecks which occurred it is remark able that no more lives were lost. In many cases there were heroic rescues made. So far as is known seven ves sels, either owned in Philadelphia or sailing from this port, have gone to the bottom during this period, carrying down with them eighty-four precious lives. The property lost will amount to fully $500,000, much of which was not insured. Tho list includes one passenger steamship, one large clipper ship, one stanch baik and four schoon ers. i Tho Coal Oil Can Again, HRADI.NO, Pa., June 27.—The family of Tudor Tussell, living near this city, met with a terrible accident yesterday morning.
