EDMUND A. BIGLER. Edmund A. Bigler, the Democratic can- didate for State Treasurer, was born in Clearfield, in August, 1843. He is the son of Hon. William Bigler, Governor of the State from 1852 to 1855, and United | States Senator from 1856 to 1861. Mr. Bigler has always been engaged in busi- ness pursuits and never held political office until appointed Collector of Twenty- third Internal Revenue District by Presi- dent Cleveland, July 1st, 1885. He was removed by President Harrison on ay 31st, 1889. The Encouraging Aspect of the State & Contest, The election of the Democratic state ticket in November, which a couple of months ago seemed so improbable, is now removed frem the list of events al- together unlikely to occur, and the out- look for Democratic success in Novem- ber is promising. Edmund A. Bigler, the candidate of the Democracy for State treasurer, grows stronger daily with the people who, when they come to reflect over the matter, see how much better it will, be to have the affairs of the office of treasurer administered faithfully and in their interest, as they would be hy Mr. Bigler, than to have them attend- ed to by Mr. Boyer, the candidate of the Republican party, whose entang- ling alliances with the bosses of his party and whose complete subservience to Quay render it morally certain that if he were elected the office would con- tinue to be run for. the benefit of the treasury ring. The issue is plain, and the voters of the commonwealth will choose at the polls between Bigler and Boyer. The enthusiasm manifested by Chair- man Kisner and his corps of assistants in looking after the organization of the party promises the happiest of results. Let them keep it up all along the line until election day. The candidate of Mr. Quay is con- fronted by a strong opposition from the labor men, who will remember at the polls the opposition all bills intended for their benefit encountered in the last ov- erwhelming Republican legislature. The grangers and the butchers owe Mr. Boyer no love and will get even with him in November for his vote and work against the anti-dressed beef bill which was defeated last winter at Harrisburg. The Grangers are said to be particularly incensed at their treatment and mean to oppose Boyer. The butchers’ organization of Alle- gheny county will consider the matter at their next meeting and it is said they will declare against Boyer and make a systematic campaign against him. The butchers claim that the bill in question aimed only to have the syn- dicate butchers of other states submit their cattle before slaughtering to the same rigid inspection to which their cattle are subjected before being killed. It is stated that Grand Master Rhone of the Grangers’ organization, will lead the fight in that body against Boyer. All things considered, Boyer’s case, notwithstanding the late heavy Repub- lican majorities in the:state, does not appear to be a very good one. In what we have mentioned as certain to damage his chances nothing is said of the vote of disgusted Prohibition Re- publicans he will lose, or of the recent revolt of colored men of the state which will deprive him of some votes, probably not many, but every little helps, and it it be said that Quay will stand by him, it may also be said that other leaders of his party are ready to knife him to revenge themselves on Quay.— Easton Argus. The Grant Gang. George M. Robeson, who used to make Congresmen and Senators and held the high office of Secretary of the Navy, is seeking 2 $1300 position at Trenton, N. J. This is one of the few retributions that has overtaken the old Grant gang. ; Belknap, his Secretary of War, fore- ed to resign under the odium of gross malfeasance in office, is rich and pros- perous. Orville E. Babcock, his private secre- tary, who was accused of complicity in Boss Sheppard’s transactions, was drowned off the Florida coast a few years back. Columbus Delano, also one of the gang, is now President of the Ohio Wool Growers’ Association, a rich man and an ardent believer in taxing the patient peo- plethat he may draw profits from grow- ing wool against the laws of climate and sense. Robeson, under whose administration of the navy millions upon millions were spent for which the government receiv- ed absolutely nothing, who was the re- sponsible head of that department when a Wilmington firm received a job for building a monitor around a piece of old keel as long asa man's arm, under the name of “repairs,” has settled {o his real level and into the degree of ob- scurity from which Grant's favor lifted him And so it goes. Fate does some- times catch up with the gang.— Phila.

One Gored to Death and Another Ter- ribly Wounded. CARLISLE, Pa. , Oct. 13. —A mad bull attacked Martha Jane Morrison and Miss Radabaugh in the field of Samuel Radabaugh, near here yesterday after- noon, and after tossing Miss Morrison on his horns until she was dead, horribly gored Miss Radabaugh. But for the timely appearance of assistance there would have been two ,dead victims in- stead of one. Miss Morrison was 13 years of age,and with Mr. Radabaugh’s daughter was gathering nuts in a field near the farm- house in which the cattle were grazing. They were at different trees and separat- ed by a ridge, when Simon Mentzer, a nephew of Mr. Radabaugh, on his way to the house heard a scream and saw a great commotion among the cattle. Miss Radabaugh also heard the scream and ran toward the herd. Before she and Mentzer arrived upon the scene they saw the bull rush upon the child, and, impaling her upon his horns, tossed her in the air, and when she fell stabbed her again with his horns. The infuriated animal then backed off, and Miss Radabaugh ran up to the pros- trate form of her young friend and took itin her arms. The unfortunate girl was dead, having been pierced through the heart and also through the lungs. But not satisfied with one victim, the bull now moved out from the circle of cattle,where he stood viewing the results of his fury,and attacked Miss Rada- baugh. He knocked her down and be- gan goring her, when Simon Mentzer finally succeeded after a desperate effort in beating off the infuriated animal with a club and a pitchfork, thus saving the young lady from a horrible death, She sustained some severe injuries, but will recover. The Republican Defeat in Indianapolis. Philadelphia Record. In Indianapolis,the home of President Harrison, the Democrats have won a complete victory for the first time in six- teen years. It cannot be said that the President has failed to use the spoils sys- tem for all it is worth to prevent this re- sult. He has distributed offices and re- wards, big and little, so lavishly among his Indianapolis neighbors as to provoke the spoilers in all the rest of the country. Butso far from harmonizing the party and promoting its success in his own home, the spoils system has had the opposite effect. The masses of the pe voters were a pathetic; the recipients of adminsitration favors were too lazy to work for the party; the disap- pointed applicants were revengeful, and the reform element of the party was dis- gusted. This election in Indianapolis throws an ominous shadow over the new spoils policy, made up of reform cant and par- tisan proscription, which President Har- rison has inaugurated. While such a policy alienates all true friends of Civil Service Reform,it embitters the disap- pointed applicants for office, who are too numerous for the patronage of govern- ment to satisfy were it ten times as great. Probably another blow or two like this might convince President Harrison that the spoils system is not a success even for the satisfaction of the lowest needs of party. cern A Family Roasted. The Frightful Results of a Gas Explo- S107. BraDrORD, Pa., Oct. 12.—At Davis’ Switch, a small village thirteen miles trom this place, the dwelling of Patrick Daily was burned and his wife and three sons, age 12, 11 and 9 respectively, were roasted in the flames. At 6 p. m. while the Daily family were at supper, the father stepped tc the cook stove to turn off part of the gas. He unintentionally shut the throttle tight and on turning it on again the house was filled with gas. An explosion followed and in an in- stant the entire house was in flames. The three boys and the mother fell pros- trate on the floor, overcome by the heat and flames. Mr. Daily rushed out of the house to call assistance but all efforts to save the unfortunate inmates were futile. The house was intirely consumed in a few moments. The charred and Llackened bodies of the four victims presented a sickening sight. Mrs. Daily’s limbs were burned from her body and her intestines ex- posed to view. Her flesh was cooked to the bone. The three sons were not as horribly burned as the mother, but their black- ened bodies could not be identified until placed side by side. The gas in the gas pressure was very strong, the gas pipe running direct from a neighboring oil well to the cooking stove. Mr. Daily is severely but not fatally burned about the head and face, and is almost crazed with grief. mere e——— Where Investigation Leads. There is another outbreak in the north west. A Republican paper, the North- western Farmer and Breeder, boldy de- clares that protection does not truly re- present the western idea among western Republicans.” and that the farmers of Dakota and Minnesota, and in fact the farmers and stockmen of the northwest who gave the States and Territories there Republican majorities, are low- tan’ men, except one class—the wool-growers.’”” The Farmer and Breed- er announces to its readers that it will “begin next month, and follow up in succeeding issues, a discussion of this subject, and will try to make it so plain that the youngest reader will fully un- derstand what the tariffs, what it means, how it is collected, who is benefited, and who is supposed to derive a benefit.” And it speaks the following significant preliminary words: “We have always noticed that once a man is led to inves- tigate, he discovers that it is really a per- sonal matter, it affects his suceess; it en- ters into the house and touches almost every article in daily use; it goes out upon his farm and levies a heavy tax on all his farm machinery, tools, and uten- sils ; a tax that brings him no return in any shape. It is then that he awunkens to an interest that does not stop until it Co Cl va. leads him to an intelligent opinion.” The Rattlesnake's Bite. I am often asked what I would do if bitten while far from help. If the wound be at the tip of a finger, I should like to get rid of the part by some such prompt auto-surgical means asa knife or a possible hot iron afiords. Failing there or while seeking help, it is wise to quarantine the poison by two ligatures drawn tight enough to stop all circulation. The heart weakness is made worse by motion, and at this time a man may need stimulus to en- able bim to walk home, As soon as possible some one should thoroughly infiltrate the seat of the bite with per- manganate or other agents. By work- ing and kneeding the tissues the ven- om and the antedote may come into con- tact and the former be so far destroyed. At this time it becomes needful to re- lax the ligatures to escape gangrene. This relaxation of course lets some ven- om into the blood round, but in a few minutes it is possible again to tighten the ligatures and again to inject the local antidote. It the dose of venom be large and the distance from help great, except the knife or cautery little is to be done that is of value. But it is well to bear in mind that in this country a bite in the extremities rarely causes death, I have known of nine dogs having been bitten by as many snakes and of these but two died. In India there w ould have been prob- ably nine dead dogs.—Dr. Mitchell in Century, A Revationsurr Expep.—“Now then, Jennie.” said the bridegroom to the bride after they had returned from the church where the knot had just been tied, “how many brothers have yuo?” “Brothers,” exclaimed the bride in astonishment, “you know I haven't any brothers. I'm the only child of my parents.” “Oh! I know that, but how many young men did you promise to be a sister to before you accepted me? Those are the brothers I mean.” “Well,” replied the bride smiling, “I must have about half a dozen of brothers.” “All right. You justdrop a note to. each of them and tell them that the brother jand sister business is all off now, you have got a husband. If they want sisters tell them to look around among girls that are single. I'm all the brotherjyou need now.” | —————=—=— LookiNG Angap.-Teacher- “Boys, 1 would like to impress upon your young minds the necessity of forgiving and forgetting.
