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.

A Mad Bull’s Victims.
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.

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.

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.”
