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.

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.

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.

“He’s the cannon ball tosser in Hav-

“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.

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.

FOR 1890.
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
