WILLIAM E. CHANDLER was elected
United States Senator in New Hamp
shire, to fill the unexpired term of the
late Senator Pike.
NINETY- six THOUSAND men are in

Postmaster General Vilas may be con

CENTRE county lvepublicaus will
hold their county convention on Tues
day, July 19tb. The primary elec
tions will be held on tho Saturday
previous, the 16th pros.
FRANKLIN county democrats hold
their convention last Tuesday ,and tho
session is reported a very harmonious
one throughout. They nominated
candidates for treasurer, prothonotary,
clerk of the courts, register and re
corder and county commissioners.
QUEER, isn't it? The democratic
governor of New York recently ap
pointed Col Fred D. Grant, oldest
son of U. S. Grant, quarantine com
missioner of New York City, and the
republican senate of that state prompt
ly rejected him. Here is food for
thought.
THE republican state convention
will be held in Harrisburg on the sev
enteenth of August The democratic
state convention will take place in Al
lentown, August 31st. Both conven
tions will have to nominate candidates
for state treasurer and judge of su
preme court.
IN several cases the courts have re
cently decided that farmers who build
barbed wire fences along the public
roads, are responsible for any and all
damage resulting to other people's
liye stock there-frora. It may be
well for farmers everywhere to bear
this in mind.
EDITOR O'BRIEN, of the Emerald

ACCORDING to the calendar the year
1888 will be a leap year, beginning
with a Sunday and ending with a
Monday. There will be five eclipses
and Yenus will be the reigning planet.
The political prospects for the year
1888 are, the republican party will
make a big leap into obscurity, the
year will begin with the Democrats in
power and end with a victory for the
democratic party, and Cleveland will
be the reigning planet,who will eclipse
all the stars in the Republican sky. If
we prove a false prophet, we'll take it
all back.
EX-SPEAKER RANDALL in conversa
tion with a reporter on the Revenue
question said that be believed the
house favored the repeal of the tobacco
tax. He thicks there will be an effort
made to revjse the tariff, but he sees
no necessity for an extra session.
While he earnestly hopes there may
be no financial legislation which is
likely to disturb the present satisfac
tory economic conditions, be admits
that the revenue must be reduced.
His evident reluctance to tamper with
the tariff at this stage is no doubt a
sign that be looks ahead to the com
ing presidential campaign and consid
ers it for the best of the party to leave
good enough alone.
. NEVER mind the farmer ! but take
good care of the corporations, seems
to be Governor Beayer's motto. A
mong his bulk of vetoed appropriations
is the one of $40,000 to the state agri
cultural board and another of SSOOO
to the annual agricultural exhibitions
of the grangers at Williams Grove.
He says there is no money to spare
for such things. But when the people
ask for a revenue law which will tax
the rich corporations and which would
provide ample funds for such things
he turns a deaf ear to their appeals.
Welf.we must not forget that the cor
porations made Beaver governor and \
one favor is worth another.
WHAT about the revcuuo bill siuce
Governor Reaver bluntly refuses to
call an extra session of tho Legisla
ture ? This is a question that puzzles
many and there seems to be no other
way but to submit to tho governor's
unbending will. But popular senti
ment is in favor ol having the revenue
bill made a law and tho people and its
representatives in the legislature very
reluctantly acquiesce in Reaver's ulti
matum. Tho press all over tho state
is verv outspoken in the matter and
freely condemns the governor's refusal
to listen to reason and common sense.
Rut all that amounts to nothing when
the selfish interests of corporations
and corporation men are at stake.

IN reference to the opening up of
the Connellsville coke ovens, an ac
count of which will bo found in auoth
er column, the Philadelphia Sunday
Times says this editorially :
The fact that Friek fc Co , the larg
est firm of coke producers in the Con
nollsvillo syndicate, have yielded to
tho strikers who have been demanding
a per cent, advance ever since ar
bitration failed to result iu their favor,
probably means that the great strike
is virtually ended after a duration of
six weeks. The single thing to be
regretted about this result is the pre
cedent for the rejection of arbitration
which is established thereby. In all
other respects the end of the strike is
the cause for congratulation. Many
iron furnaces and mills have been
loreed to shut down for lack of coke,
and now that they are free to start up
again work will bo given to thous
ands of wage-workers who have lately
suffered for no fault of their own. If
the coke syndicate will bo more reas
onable hereafter in the latitude of
choice which it allows its employes in
the selection cf arbitrators, its defeat
will be less conspicuous next time.

WASHINGTON, Juue 13, ISS7.
I may mention as an echo of the Nation
al Drill, that half of the small boys of
Washington are so thoroughly infused with
the military order of the times, that daily
they can !K seen in hands, marching in
the streets, wearing paper caps, with sticks
for guns, while the uniform of those soldiers
in embyTO is really picturesque, and they
present arms and drill to the tap of the
drum with pretty fair decision.
The only colored man in the Signal Ser
vice has been dismissal for inefficiency and
irregularity of moral conduct, after he lias
had a 1 letter chance of reform than would
bo given a white man under similar circum
stances.
Recently a great numlierof printers have
been discharged by Public Printer Benedict

Tho almost forgotten fact that Win. A.
Wheeler act l IJS Vice President of the I -
nited States one term, was recalled by his
death, and half masting the Hags n public
buildings in this city on the day of his j
funeral. Mr. Wheeler, after retiring from
office, like Hayes, his principal in the theft
of the Presidency in l7d, drppd from
public regard, with the contempt and exe.
oration of all truly honest men, living the
remainder of his days in such painful re
morse and obscurity, that l>oth his mind
and hotly became the easy prey of insidious
disease.
The people of Washington are gratified to
learn of the improvement in the condition of
their beloredfellow citizen, thewcaltbyhauk
er and philanthropist, Mr. W. W. (Vrco
r.m who lately was prostrated with paraly
sis, which at first caused much concern. Mr.
Corcoran's large benefactions to the city are
the famous C'oreorans Art tiallory, with its
fine collections of paintings and pictures,
ami the Louise Home, where tho gentle
women in reduced circumstances may find
refuge in their declining days. Although
Mr. Corcoran Is In his Bpth year, it is hojx d
he may !>e spared for years f Ixmefleencc
and usefulness for he is an honor and bless
ing to his country and to the world.
The National Bilks have accepted an in
vitation to participate in the competitive
dril at Chicago, Inext Octolior. The West
ern IKIJS would do well to hsk to their
laurels, If they expect to defeat the Capital's
crack company.
There is a curious coincidence in the fact
that no sooner does the man from Maine set
sail for Europe, than the Irish American
club of New York licgins to lssun Mr
Blaine for President, declaring that while
they have no objection to the other candi
dates, the head of the old ticket is the man
of their choice above all others. Well, the
Democrats will fervently wish the Irish.-
Americcn* success in their endeavor to re
nominate Mr, Blaine, Bt fear that lIO|M- will
not lie realized. This Blaine talk, and the
farther fact that the New Hampshire Re
publicans have resurrected, and are about
to send to the U, 8, Senate Bill Chandler,
political lsiss, notorious corruptionist, and
as ha<l a* all, the fraudulent President's tool
and underling, conclusively demonstrates
that more than one defeat will be required
to chasten the Republican party.
If the people of Washington could decide
the question, I believe Secretary Lamar,
would surely succeed to the vacancy in the
Supreme Court, but we have it from good
authority that the Secretary does not desire
the position, as it would shelve him for life,
and deprive the Nation—as his friends
think—of the great ability of this eminent
statesman In its cabinet# and councils,
where he is lx.\st fitted to serve and shine.
As the Grand Army of the Republic is
incubating another "Dependent Pension
Bill", which they will urge the next Con
gress to pass, it is probable that Prescident
Cleveland's veto will again be tho country's
only safeguard against a measure so unjust
ami ruinous,

Mr. Blaine, said; "Mr. Blaine's true
reason for going is to rfcujmrate his
health His health is in a very preca
rious condition, although it is given
out that he is well and robust. I have
it from an inside source and there can
be no doubt about tlie general physical
debility of Mr. Blaine. When Mr
Blaine was out west and had a little
spell of sickness I was attending to
some law cases iu Kansas. I saw sev
eral men who had talked with the sur
geons and doctors that attended Mr.
Blaine and they aM stated that his phy
sicians had pronounced him in very
delicate health generally, and totally
unable to stand a severe attack of ill
ness."

dered a special dish for the cub. When
it was Lrought in by the waiter the

fastened iiis teeth iu the arm of the

to utter a howl of agony and hastily
deposits his assailant's dinner on tlie
richly carpeted floor. The waiter re
tired, and soon afterward found it
necessary to call a physician to dress
the wound. His injuries are said to be
quite serious and blood poisoning is
feared. The cub also attempted to bite
the head waiter, but the latter was too
alert. Mme. Bernhardt was much a

waiter proposes to sue for damages.

GOOD NEWS FROM HUNT fMGDON,
The Car Works, Long Idle, Will Soon
bo Kunuliiff Once More,
HUNTINGDON, Pa., June 12,—An
enthusiastic citizens' meeting was held
in the o(era house here last night to
take action on the proposition of sever
al New York and Philadelphia capital
ists represented by President Corbitr,
of tlie Reading railroad. Alfred Sulley,
of New Yotk, and Charles Scott, of
Philadelphia, to purchase and operate
the Huntingdon car works, which have
been .die since 1883. The syndicate
proposed to purchase and enlarge the
works, provided certain lots adjoining
the works be donated for that purpose.
Attire meeting to-night $3,000 more
than enough for the purchase of the
ground, was subscribed. The financial
backers are heavy New York bankers,
and the company will start in with a
contract for 3,000 cars, involving an
outlay of $1,000,(XX). The failure of
the car works four years ago was a
serious blow to the business interests
of this place, and the assurance of a
speedy and permanent resumption of
the industry which will afford over 500
men employment is hailed witli un
bounded enthusiasm. The works will
be started in thirty days,

Case of Kidnapping.
VASSAR.MICI)., June 12.—A remark
able case of kid'.apping and toblwry in
which a Tuscola county woman is tlie
victim, has just been made public here
Last fall Mrs. Albert Bro >ks, of Juni
ata, Tuscola county, went to Denver to
take poßSe.*stop of in cash and
real estate left her, she said, by an un
cle. She reached Denver safely, re
ceived the money, and made arrange
ments for the ma-.agement of the
projierty. Since that tim nothing has
been heard of the woman, and several
weeks ago Mr. Brooks went west to
unravel the mystery.if possible, lie
has returned and reports no cluo of
the missing woman and that lie placed
the ma'ter in the hands of detectives.
A sister of Mrs. Brooks who also re
ciived SBO,O 0 from the uncle, has put
SIO,OOO in the hands of Denver otlicers
to he used in finding her sister. Since
Mr, Brooks' return home he has re
ceive d a letter from his wife, n ailed at
Boston, but endorsed by the post-ollice
autliqrites as having been forwarded
from California for mailing. The let
ter is a plea for help. It says Unit she
(Mrs. Brooks) is held a captive hy a
gang of men, who haye already secured
$20,000 of her money and are deter
mined to have it all. Tito woman's
oiptors tortured her in every imagina
ble way. Hl.e does not 3av where the
place of confinement is. Last week a
Denver detective at work upon the
case wired MI, Brooks that he discov
ered the building in which Mrs. Brooks
is imprisoned but had not been able to
communicate with her. To add to the
mystery, T. North, a Vassar banker,
received a package of letters written hy
Tuscola county people to Mrs. Btooks,
but no reason is given for sending
them. Mr. Brooks is a poor man, and
he has expended largely of his meagre
means to discover the whereabouts of
his wife and explain tho mystery.

think our prompt notion redects credit
upon us for our fidelity and our dcsiie
to do our duty. I wish we could have
brought in another verdict, but it was
impossible."
BI.OOMINGTOX. Ills, Sep. 18. 1882.
Messrs. i-\ J. Cheney A (Jo., Toledo,
Ohio Have taken Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Had catarih all my life ;am 48
years old. Had asthma 19 years, and
a dieadful cough for five years. Have
taken everything ; went to the Hot
Springs; I have doctored with the doc
tors here; 1 have done nothing but take
medicine for l'J veers. When I com
menced using Hall's Catarrh Cure 1
wan almost dead. I sent for the doctor
the day I got Hall's Catarrh Cure and
I told him that 1 would die auy way
and that I w.uUl liy your medicine. I
was very bad. How I suffered for 9
years! I could hardly breatlie at times.
1 saw Hall's Catarrh Cure advertised
in the papers suit commenced taking it.
I would have been under the ground to
day if it had not been for that. I have
not. had one bad spell of coughing since.
In breathing my head feels well and I
am well. It lias done me a thousand
dollars worth of good. There are ten
of my friends, on seeing what it had
done for me, taking it, and it is helping
tliem. I only wish that every one who
lias catuirli, asthma and a bad cough
could see me. so that I could tell tliem
all to take it. All that know me here
know how I have suffered, (I have
been here since ISSS.) and say to tne
that "I am so glad that you found
something that could cure you." Ev
eryone savs, "how much letter you
look." The doctors say they are glad
I fouud Hall's Caiariit Cure as they
could not cure me.
I cannot express my gratitude to you
for the good Hall's Catarrh Cure has
done me. You can use as much of this
letter as will do the aflVcted gotxl. l'ub
lisli it to the whole world—it is all true
and they shouhl*knnw it.
