eskiigiin oR isis . No End to Extravagant Expenditure. =] Philadelphia Record. Secretary Window's report shows that as fast as we reduce the interest charge on our national debt we pro- portionately increase the payments for pensions. Thus Government expen- diture 1s kept up to the war point twen- ty-five years aiter the end of the war; and the suggestion that taxes should be reduced is denounced as an unpatriotic assauls upon the industries of the coun- try. So excessive is the drain of taxation that the ingenuity of statesmen has been constantly taxed during the last quarter of a century to spend the money in the Treasury as fast as it should ac- cumulate. The salaries of nearly every official in the Government service have been largel increased; vastsums have been expended 1n the erection of costly custori-houses, post offices and other pubiic buildings in all parts of the country ; an equal profusion has been lavished upon internal improvements; and what could not otherwise be dis- posed of bas been devoted to the most extravagant system of pensions ever devised in any couniry under any form of government since the worid began. The recommendations in the message of President Harrison in favor of en- larged expenditure for pensions, coast defenses, national education, steamship subsidies, and for other purposes, prove that the hope for any relief of the public burdens at the hands of a Republican Admipistration is hopeless. The Presi- dent has no positive plan of cutting down the revenue; and if his schemes of expenditure should be approved by congress curtailment would be impossi- ble. There seems to be no hope ofa return to frugal and economical public administration until the Republican party shall have been azain hurled from power. axemimar The Deadly Wire Again at Work. New Yorg, Dee, 9.—Peter Clausen, a lineman, met his death to-day in a manner similar to that by which Fecks was killed several weeks ago. He was up a pole at Third avenue and One Hundred and Fifty-sixth street, making some changes in the wire, when he was seen to fall. His right hand clutched one of the wires and his chin rested on another. Smoke and bluish flame was issuing from the parts of the body which touched the wires, and the odor of burning flesh filled the ar. In a few mirutes three policemen reached the spot, and Thomas Smith, a driver, went to help them. The four tried to get a rope around the body of the lineman, and at the first attempt received 8 shock which knocked Smith senseless, He was carried to a saloon and soon recovered. ‘When the bedy was finally lowered life was found to be extinet. An exam- ination showed that the electric wires had burned the flesh off the right hand to the bone. The fiesh on the right forearm fiom the elbow to the wrist was also burned and lacerated. The imprint of the wire was visible on the chin. tm sessraeresmrecrrizs A Relic of the Grave Yard Insurance Period. Sunbury Daily. Ann Moore died at the residence of Edward Eisely on Third street on Satur- day last, aged 95 years, four months and twenty-five days. She was born when George Washington was President of the United States. New Jersey was her native State and she came to this place about fifty years ago and has re- sided bere eversince. In the palmy days of the graveyard insurance companies she was insured in a number of those in- stitutions to the amount of fully $100,- 000. She was sick at the time and speculators went to bed at night think- ing that next morning they would reap a benefit, but she outlived the days of the wild-cat companies and saw many of the gents placed under the sod. Ten years ago she went to live with her son- in-law, Edward Eisely, and has been kindly cared for ever since. Her desth was caused from old age, there being no particular disease. Another Terrific Nitro-Glycerine Ex- plosion. BurLEr, Pa., December 10.—At 9.45 this morning Butler was shaken by a nitro-glycerine explosion at the Bat'er Torpedo company’s magazine, twelve miles south of town. The ex- plosion occurred while cans were be- Ing put into the wagon at the factory. James O. Wood and William Medill and their wagon and horses were blown into unrecognizable fragments. I'he woods in the vicinity of the magazine are being searched by huu- dreds of men for the remains of the men, and the greatest excitement pre- vails. The greatest part of the factory buildings is demolished, the factory is crushed down, and only the smoke stack remains intact. The rafters of the ma. azine fell down over the glyce- rine there, but did not explode. Wood's shoulder and right arm were found twenty rods away. A small part of Medill’s trunk was taken from the top of a tree. The theory is that Wood let a can of explosive drop while handing it up to Medill, who was in the wagon. A great hole was made in the ground where the wagon stood. ——1Itis reported on high authority that the prospect of forming one Re- public out of the five Central American States of Nicaragua, San Sulvador, Costa Rica, Honduras and Gautemala is likely to be realized. For the first ten years the Union will simply be an offensive and defensive allian®e with a President that will have charge only of the foreign relations. At the expiration of that period the Union will be cement- ed by the adoption of a constitution which will take in the political, com- mericial and other relations of the five separate States and foreign powers. re r———— INcaPACITATED.—Humane pedestrian to woman splittting wood—I should think vour husband would do that kind of work for you. “Oh, he says his arms are too tired to split wood.” “Indeed !| What makes him so tired 2’ “He’s the cannon ball tosser in Hav- ergall’s Herculéan Museum,” “Jack the Ripper” in New Jersey. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6.—A special to the Record from Millville, New Jersey, says: The body ot Mrs. Annie Borden, a colored widow, was found shcekingly "mutilated on the floor of her home here this morning. The discovery was made by Mrs. Frederick Roedele, a neighbor. The floor of the widow’s house was literally covered with blood, and there was every evidence of a terrific struggle. The woman was covered with blood from head to foot, her clothing was torn almost wholly froin her person, and hung in saturated tatters. Coroner Miller was summoned and took charge of the case. A medical ex- amination revealed the fact that the woman had been outrageously assaulted and in a manner rarely recorded in med- ical or criminal annals. At the in: quest the doctors testified that Mrs. Borden’s wounds wer: of the most brutal character, her murderer having ripped open her abdomen with a keen knife and committed acts that sound like descriptions of “Jack the Rippers” work. : The police investigation led to the suspicion of a dissolute glass blower named John Knox, who had been seen to hurriedly leave Mrs. Borden’s house about sun down last night. Blood had also been noticed on his hands and coat. He was arrested late this afternoon. When brought before the coroner he was just recovering from a debauch, and was scarcely able to talk intelligi- bly. Two gunners who met Knox last night on a road leading out of town testified at the Coroner’s hearing that be told them that he had made away with a damned black wench who had refuse i to yield te his advances. fu his own defense he denied that he had committed the horrible erime charged against him, and accounted for the blood on his hands and clothing by saying that he had cat his hand with a piece of glass. The evidence against him is very strong, however, and he was committed to jail without bail to await the result of the Coroners in- quest. Liquor Sold to Miners. dn Lportant Interpretation of ihe ennsylvania igh License Law. Dovyresrown, Pa., Dec. 9.—A case involving an important and interesting point in the liquor laws was decided bere in the court of quarter sessions. One day in October last Charles B. Yost, landlord of the Wormansville hotel, this county, went away from home on business, but before leaving particu- larly cautioned his wife not to sell to minors or persons of intemperate habits. During the evening Edwin F. Holden and Wilham Keeler, two youths aged about 19, entered the barroom and asked for a pint bottle of whi-ky. Be- fore selling the liquer Mrs. Yost, who waited upon them, inguired of one of the boys, “Are you of age?” He re- plied, “Yes, ma’am, I am.” Mrs. Yost then sold him the the whisky. Judge Yerkes in charging the jury said that where the landlord issued in- structions to his &oent or bartender not to sell to minors, to persons visibly in- toxicated or to habitual drunkards, and the bartender disobeyed those orders, the landlord could not be convicted if the jury believed such orders to have been issued in good faith. In this case the fact that Mrs. Yost had been de- ceived by the young men falsely claim- ing to be of age added another extenu- ating circumstance. The jury rendered a virdiet of not guilty. ow To Honor General Jackson, Governor Taylor of Tennesseee Invites the Co-Operation of all Penn- sylvanians. Harrisgurg, Dec. 6.—Governor Beaver hus received the following let- ter from Governor Taylor of Tennessee: “I desire to request your excellency’s co-operation in promotingithe purpose of the National Jackson club to honor the name of that illustrious patriot. The first annual meeting of the club (non- partisan) will occur in this city on the 8th of January next, and it is intended to celebrate the anniversary of one of the greatest military achievements by an assembly of patriotic men of all parties from all the States. I sincerely invite Your éxcellency to attend, and to invite all your citizens who admire the charac- ter of this great chieftain, to assemble with us to honor his memory. ‘It will be of great interest to those who have never visited us to look in upon the wealth added to our great coun- try by the valor of Jackson and his compatriots—a country not only rich within itself and destined to take the lead, bat which adds a mighty volume of wealth and glory to the whole nation, and reflects honor and glory upon the patriots and herces who rescued it from the wilderness and savage domination.” A Horrible Death. 4 Man's Body Peerced by a Red Hot Iron Rod. TreNTON, Dec. T7.—A terrible ac- cident occurred at the wire mill of J. A. Roebling’s Son’s company, in which an Italian named John Hitechkash, who works on the rolls, was instantly killed. The red hot iron bars are put through a long roll, which has a series of holes, each smaller than the one preceding. It ‘was Hitchkash’s duty to eateh the red hot iron as it came through the rolls and insert the end in the next hole. He failed to catch the end, and the red hot instrument of torture entered his breast, passing all the way through, cutting and burning his heart in twain. Those who stood near could hear the iron sizzling in his vitals. He dropped dead instantly. The mill was stopped, the wire cut and taken from his body and he was removed to his home. He is about 40 years of age and leaves a family.

Some people agree with Tue Sun's opinions about men and things, and some people don’t; but everybody likes to get hold of the news- paper which is never dull and never afraid to speak its mind. Democrats know that for twenty years Tue Sux has fought in the front line for Democratic principles, never wavering or weakening in its loyalty to the true interests of the party it serves with fearless intelligence and disinter- ested vigor. Attimes opinions have differed as to the best means of accomplishing the com mon purpose; it is not THe Sun's fault if it has seen further into the mi stone. Eighteen hundred and ninety is the year that will probably determine the result of the Presidential election of 1892, and perhaps the fortunes of the Democracy for the rest of the century. Victory in 18 2 is a duty, and the be- ginning of 1890 is the best time to start out in company with Tue Sux, Daily, per month... Daily, per year Sunday, per ye Daily and Sunday, per year..
