SThf Utitttuim journal. THURSDAY, Nov. 25TH, 1886. Published by R. A. BUMILLER. SECRETARY Manning's health is re ported splendid and he is bard at work on his annual report. The idea of re tiring from the Cabinet does not enter his mind. REPORTS are current that Lieut. Gov.C. F. Black will be the successor of Sunset Cox as minister to Turkey. Gov. Black will not fail to fill the bill and gain the esteem of foreign courts. * Ex-PREsiDENTArthur's death which occurred last Thursday, Nov. 18th, takes away another of Aniericu's illustrious sons and a man who ad ministered the office of the highest ex ecutive in the land to the credit of himself and his countrymen. ECONOMY and simplicity character ized Gov. Pattison's inauguration. Not so with the coming inauguration of Geo. Beaver. By all appearances the usual pomp and show will accom pany that occasion and the coffers of the state will have to stand it. Tra la! A cyclone struck Girard, Kansas, on Monday morning, Nov. 22nd, passing through the residence portion of the town and demolishing all the lighter buildings in its path which was only about 75 feet wide. The more sub stantial buildings stood the shock with out much damage. A number of por tions were injured, some of them ser iously. PENNSYLVANIA suffers an important loss by the recent decision of the Su preme Court, exempting the corpora tions from the so-called "three mill tax." In consequence of this dicision the state will lose in Allegheny coun ty alone, including Pittsburg and Allegheny City, $225,000 in taxes an nually. THE; political complexion of the fiftieth Congress is still strong demo cratic. The Democrats will have 175 members, the Republicans 150, a ma jority of 25, or after deducting the three labor representatives elected by the Democrats, a certain majority of 19. It is the first time in forty years that a democratic administration has a majority in their second congress, and we can't complaiD. THE republican legislature of Penn sylvania will convene on the first Monday in January and will attend to the following two important mat ters first f namely the election of Quay, the head boss of the Cameron Clique, to the U. S. Senate, vice Mitchell, whose term expires March 4th. And next the passage of the prohibition amendment to the constitution. The latter action was made a condition by those prohibitionists who refused to follow Wolf,"but stuck to the Republi can ticket After the amendment has passed, it will rest until 1888, when it wili have to be passed by another legislature. And then the question will go hefore the people in the follow ing year, A SPECIAL DISPATCH in Tuesday's Harrisburg Patriot says that the gen eral opinion is that three of the prin cipal places in Beaver's Cabiuet have been settled and that it looks from all that can be learned from political sources that may be considered relia ble that General Beaver will have his mind made up as to the composition of his Cabinet long before the day of his inauguration as Governor. The talk is that Senator Cooper will be Secretary of the Commonwealth ; J. Hay Brown, of Lancaster, Attorney- General; and Col. D. H. Hastings, of Bellefonte, Adjutant-General. The latter's appointment is accepted by all the politicians as a foregone conclu sion and it is generally believed that Chairman Cooper will surely succeed W. S. Stenger, provided that the pro visions of the Constitution do not prevent. It is held by many that Cooper will be eligible for the office by resigning his seat in the Senate. As to J. Hay Brown, the statement was made to-day that unless some thing should occur the gentleman will be given the position of Attorney- General. Mr. Brown's friends declare he is an able attorney and that he would be acceptable to all the Repub licans ot Lancaster county. Upon the resignation of Colonel Quay from the office of State Treasurer it is be lieved that Chris Magee's friend Mc- Devitt will be given the place. Mc- Devitt was Quay's principal opponent for the nomination last year.

TOLEDO, 0., NOV. 10 —A singular accident occurred at the dtug store of 1. N. Heed last evening. A gentleman called there to get some medicine, in paying for which he dropped a dime and it rolled upon the register and into the hot air pipe, lie said he could see the coin and thought he could reach it. The register was raised and the strang er undertook to reach the dime. In some manner he lost his hold nml went head first down into the hot air pipe. Mr. Reed ran into the cell.u to assist the man in getting ont, but he had tall - en against the furnace pipe door and wrenched it otT. which let him into the cellar. Fortunately, there was hut lit tle fire in the furnace. The young man as soon as he could recover lrom the shock, remarked that he'was a tinner and would tlx the door to the furnace pipe. He went to work at it, without even removing his overcoat, aiv' soon had it all right. Aside from being pretty well besmeared with ashes and dirt, he escaped unharmed. Brace Up.

Remarkablo Ro oval From tho Stomach of a Fool Hardy Man Out Wont. ST. LOUIS, MO., NOV. 10.—One of the most remarkable surgical operations ever attempted in the United States was performed at 1200 South Broadway, the home of a tailor named Joseph Hoffman. The latter has always had a penchant for swallowing solids with out the process of mastication. One year ago he attempted to show his fam ily how swords could he swallowed,and using the poker for illustration. It got fast in his oesophagus and he had a narrow escape from death. Wednesday night lie picked up a silver-plated table knife, 11) indies long, an i calling upon bis children to watch him, he introduc ed the handle into his mouth and pass ed it down until only two inches of the Id uie protruded. At that moment lie attempud to look around to sec the el feet on the spectators, and in doing so the knife slipped down the gullet. He screamed with agony, and a neighbor rushed in and attempted to pull the knife out. ll*- felt the top of the blade but it eluded his grasp and dropped down into the stomach. I)r. A. C. Bernays, the surgeon, was summoned, and decidt d that the knife would have to be taken from the stomach through an abdominal incision. Hoffman was ehloroformed, and an incision live iucli les long was made in the abdomen. When ihg stomach was reached the knile was found lying hoiizontaliy. An incision about an inch long was made in the stomach, and the knife was seiz ed by the handle and withdrawn. Then came the delicate part of the operation. The mucous membrane was first stitch ed, then tho muscular,and last the jieii toncum. The woik was done quickly, and there was scarcely any internal hemorrhage. About 2d stitches were then made in the abdomninai incision, and the patient was put to bed. Last night he was doing well, and is taking some milk and beef tea. Theonlyhlan ger is from intl.immation or blood poisoning. Hoffman is 43 years of age. "Wher.
