There is no feature of the new census more gratifying and encouraging than | the figures which show that the school enrollment keeps pace with the increase of population. In 1880 the number of children attending school was 9,957,- 608, and in 1890 there were in attend- ance 12,592,721, a gaiu of 2,641,113." In the increase of population, the to- tal gain in the deeade from 1880 to 1890 was 24.86 per cent., while the gain in school enrollment is 26.54, an excess of 1.68 per cent. Taking the country at large there is a variation in the States, the school enrollment keep- ing up with the increase of population in some, and falling below in others. The singular feature is presented, but at the same time is gratifying, that the increase in school enrollment 1n the last decade is largest in the South, showing that the people of that section of the Union are not unmindful of their duty of giving their black population the proper facilities for education. All this is cheering for the future of the country, if it be true, as alleged, that the sure foundation of the Republic 1s in the intelligence of the people. Another remarkable showing of the census appears in the fact,that in all but one of the New England States the school enrollment does not keep up with the increase in population, Rhode Island being the only one that did not fall behind. In this respect New Eng- land, the home of the free school sys- tem, does not show as large a percen- tage of increase as the South. ER CC CT — ——The recent Republican candi- date for Governor, Grorée W. DEra- MATER, for reasons well known to the publie, has changed his location from Meadville, Pa., to Porland, Ore- gon. News comes east that on the first Sunday Mr. Denamater was in tbe latter place he occupied the pulpit of the Taylor street church morning and evening. Like too many other embezzlers and defaulters, be is trying to gain an advantage by acquiring a reputation for piety. Sons of Their Fathers. The sons of distinguished sires are pushing to the front in public life, Whether they are creditable to their progenitorsis for the public to judge. A son of ALLEN G. THURMAN presided over the Ohio Democratic convention ; StePHEN A. Douaras’s son isan active Chicago politician; ApramaM Lin- COLN’S son is minister to England ; one of GARFIELD’s sons was a delegate to the late Ohio Republican convention 3 one of General GrANT's sons is minis- ter to Austria; President Harrison's son—weil, he does almost anything that gives him a chance to shoot off his mouth in a know-it-all fashion. The list might be continued to include other distinguished sons, such as young Raum and young Quay. Some ofthese are not of a character calculated to continue the ancestral renown; while others are about as good as their fath- ers—no better or n6 worse, which is uot saying much for them. - ——Tt seems that Canada’ has got it worse than we have. The Public Ac- counts Committee of Parliament has unearthed a mass of scandal with re- gard to the Canadian Pacific Railroad | which bids fair to outrank anything | this county has experienced for many | years. The mixture of great corpora tions with politics is certain to produce corruption, ‘and the Canadian Pacific has done the business thoroughly. It Refuses to Be a Tin-plate Liar. The Minneapolis Journal is a Repub- | lican newspaper, but not so thoroughly Republican as to believe in sticking to a falsehood after it has been complete- ly exposed. “The tin-plate clackers,” it says, ‘“haye precipitately tried to prove that great tin works have been put into operation since the McKinley bill passed, and that after July 1 the market will be supplied from these sources. Asa matter at fact there is no American tjn-plate yet manufactur- ed. The American tin-plate sent in sample about the eeuntry is simply made of English iron sheets dipped in a very cheap quality of English white metal. There is no use trying to make people believe that a thing is when it isn't.” The Journal's candor is to be commerded, It evidently is impress- ed with the fact that truth is of more account than Republican success, and it declines to tell tin-plate lies for the benefit of its party. ——Tt is reported from Wilkesbarre that a big strike among the anthra- cite miners is possible. The companies are preparing for the trouble by bringing into that section large numbers of la- borers fresh from Europe. The griev- ance of the employes is that the com- panies will not pay every two weeks, as the' law calls for. It appears from this that the protected coal barons not only disregard the law of the State re- quiring semi-monthly payment, but are ready to enforce their lawlessness by importation of European laborers. Pointing With Pride. The Times reminds its readers of the frequency of Republican conventions pointing with pride, in their platforms, to all that the “Grand Old Party” has done, and recommends the following, in that line, to be embodied in the plat- form of the Republican convention soon to assemble in this State. They will make excellent planks for that piece of political carpentry : We point with pride to a Republican City Treasurer: in the penitentiary for stealing State and city funds to the amount of a mil- lion and a half. ’ We pdint with pride to an Auditor General who failed to enforce the law and thereby en- abled the aforesaid City Treasurer to steal more than amillion of State funds and who di- vided with the said City Treasurer the adver- tising rebate. We point with pride to a State Treasurer who knew the law, who, in fact, signed the law as Speaker of the House, compelling quarterly settlements on the part of all officials collect- ing State moneys, and who failed to compel therequired settlement. We point with pride to a Republican clerk who hawked the official advertising among the newspapers, receiving a fat commission therefor. A —— No sane citizen entertains the slightest doubt that every man who was really and honestly entitled to a pension received it long ago. The at- torneys who are now tumbling over each other in a mad rush for disability pensions, reratings, and the like, re- present the shirkers, bummers and coffee-coolers ot what should be an honorable veteran corps. But to get rid of this evil it would be necessary to abolish the Pension Bureau entirely. ——Dr. Mendel, of Berlin, says that the inebriety of coffee, if not as danger- ous to others, may be as harmful to its subjects as alcoholism; and there is litleldispute of the fact that in the high nerve tension of American make-up, tea and coffee become so harmfully and habitually necessary, as to render their frequent use dangerous, as tending to drive 2the physical machinery faster than it was intended to run, thus caus- ing incalculable wear and tear. Of late there has grown up a far more rational, because healthful” cus: tom, that of cocoa drinking. This cus- tom has been largely brought about by the introduction into this country of that incomparable product of the cocoa bean, Vang Houten’s cocoa. This co- coa is almost absolutely nutritious and strengthening to’ the nervous system. Gently stimulating, it aids digestion and all the flesh forming functions, and is peculiarly adapted for the nervy ous and dyspeptic. ised ——The latest report from Russia is that the peasants of Nijni Novgorod are flogged for failing to pay their taxes, and that owing to the monetary strin- gency among the peasants, the flogging business 1s more ‘active than the flow of money into the tax eollector's hands. | This has made necessity the mother of invention once mdte and flogging ma- chines have been invented to polish off the Muscovite peasantry with neatness and dispatch.

The Governor Is After Them. The experts engaged in investigat- ing the Bardsley accounts have made cach discoveries and disclosures involy- ing the State Treasurer's office and the Auditor Genera! with Barpsrey's ‘frauds,that the State administration feels called upon to take action in the mat- ter, and Attorney General HENSEL, at the instance of the Governor, will com- mence such legal proceedings as the gravity of the case demands. The report of the experts has been referred to the Attorney General with directions to take civil action for the recovery of the stolen State funds, and to prosecute those who have in this case made themselves amenable to the criminal laws of the State. The Gov- ernor is emphatic in his desire to have every possible effort made to protect the State and to vindicate its laws, no matter whom it may affect, and the At- torney General has his full sanction to proceed at once and vigorously, wher- ever evidence can be found. It is understood that Attorney Gen- eral HENsEL is getting all the facts bearing upon these frauds, with strong indications that the State will make out a case that will warrant the arrest and trial of the accused State officials. ——A' Republican exchange says: Major McKiNLEY admits that he is not oversanguine; says he realizes that his friends have some weeks of very hard work before them; that the enemy will adopt every means known to political warfare to retain power at Columbus.

It may lead him to believe that there is aconspiracy to put BLAINE on the ticket instead of himself, and that Quay is in it. —=The latest intelligence from Russia predicts a great shortage in crops and actual want before the year is out.

A Murder Most Foul. How Miss Warden was Slain by her Lover... i -HaNovER, N. H., July 19.-— The greatest excitement exists ‘throughout this section over: the murder of Miss Christie C. Warden by Frank C. Almy, a disappointed lover, Friday night. Scores of armed men are guarding the bridges and highways for forty miles around, and the telegraph js hurrying to every town and village within 100 miles an accurate description of young Almy, for whose apprehension a reward of $1,000 is offered. ‘The murderer's personal description is: Age, 29; height, 5 feet 10 inches ; weight, 160 pounds; complexion, fair ; sandy moustache and small growth of beard dyed black ; hazel eyes, regular features, even and well preserved teeth ; large hands, with nails closely clipped ; scar of cut on the left wrist; walks with a shrug of the shoulders ; well educated, and when last seen dressed in a black skirt coat, light trousers and a straw hat ; claims to be a Georgian by birth and to have lived in the south for many years. Everything that human power can do is being done to bring this most brutal Business is prac- tically suspended, and large numbers of armed men, among them nearly all of the Dartmouth professors who are spend- ing their vacations at home, are scour-- ing the country. HOW THE MURDER OCCURRED. The victim, Miss Christie ‘Warden, with her mother, sister and Louise Goodell, was going home from a meet- ing of the Grafion Star Grange. About 11 o’clock they had reached Potash Hol- low, a half mils outside of the village, when Almy appeared from the side of the road and said ; “Iam Frank Almy. I don’t want anything of you, Mrs. Warden or Fan- nie. Go right along. I want Christie. At the same time he took hold of the young lady, and pulled her toward an opening in the fence. All three women tried to resist him, when he drew a re- volver, threatening their lives. Mrs. Warden cried for help and ran back to meet some neighbors, also re- turning from the Grange meeting. After Miss Christie had been forced into the field she called : “Oh Fannie, comeand help me! He is tearing my - A DREADFULLY CRUEL DEED. In the meantime the brute was dry w- ing his victim nearer to a clump of wil- lows. In response to her sister's renew- ed cries for help, Fannie rushed forward, when Almy said : “Fannie, I hate you,and will kill you for interfering,” at same time firing a bullet that passed so near her face that she felt its passage. The fiend then dragged the zirl he had professed to love under the willows, and mercilessly shot her through the head and body. One of the big bullets throuch the girl’s head tore out her left eye,and death must have been instantaneous. Help arrived ina few minutes, but the murderer had fled. MOTIVE FOR THE CRIME. Coming from the south a year ago, Almy had engaged asa farm laborer with Mr. Warden, and was gentleman- ly in appearance and deportment and well educated. He soon began paying marked attention to Miss Christie, the beautiful daughter, who discouraged his advances, and plainly told him his suit could not be considered, ’ Her parents, who were of the same mind, had been investigating at Went- worth, Georgia, and had found that while Almy had worked there he - had been known by another name. Mr. Warden discharged Aimy last April, since when his whereabouts. has been unknown, until he finally killed the beautiful young school teacher. A Battle With Bees. They Swarm Under a Child's Clothes at a Baptismal Ceremony. Lrrirz, Pa., July 19.—As the minis- ter was in the midst of a baptismal ser- vice near Litiz the ear-piercing screams of little Bertha Tigus, the daughter of a Lancaster merchant, interrupted the proceedings. The child had been stand- ing on the edge of the crowd when a swarm of bees moved along and alight- ed on her limbs under her clothing. “It was a little while before the cause of the child’s cries were ascertained, and then the women around turned and bravely fought the insects. Two wo- men held the child, and with their hats, aprons and sticks the others gave battle. he contest lasted fifteen mirutes, dur- ing which time the religious ceremonies were suspended, and finally the bees ‘were beaten off, but all of the women who engaged in the battle were more or less seriously, stung about the hands and face. The child was frightfully stung, and her limbs were swollen ‘to twice their natural size. baits Influx of Foreign Labor. Poles, Italians and Huns Crowd Into the Anthracite Regions. WiLkESBARRE, July 19.—Last week hundreds of Poles, Italians ard Hun- garians poured into this section of the anthracite coal field. The arrival of such an unusually large number of foreigners has given rise to considerable talk in labor circles. It is mooted in some quarters that the coal companies will refuse to comply with the new semi-monthly pay bill, which provides for.the payment of employes cvery two weeks, Anticipating trouble in ‘conse- quence of failure to comply with the law the companies have imported labor- ers from Europe in large numbers; This is the theory advanced by the more in- telligent labor leaders. On the other hand the representatives of the coal companies say there will be no trouble and ‘that a strike is cut of the question. mses ~—The wife.of Morton O. Stout, a metchant tailor of Baltimore, gave birth on; Thursday last to a baby—their first born. Forty-eight hours later she gave birth to two girls, each weighing two and half pounds. Lieutenant Petrikin’s Watch. The National Tribune published the following letter which relates to the death of a gallant soldier of Centre county, Lieutenant Petrikin, who went into the service from Bellefonte and lost his life 1n a skirmish on the day before the baftle of Antictam. He was a brother of Miss Petrikin, of this place. The letter inquires about the watch which was found on the person of Lieu- tenant Petrikin at the tiwe of his death: The writer, however, makes the mistake of loeating the home of the Lieutenant at Chambersburg instead of Bellefonte : THE LETTER, Ep1TorR NATIONAL TRIBUNE : Those who were in the battle of Antietam re. member - that there was some lively skirmishing Tuesday evening, Septem- ber 16, between the Federal right and the Confederate left as the lines were being arranged for the great conflict of the next day, as but darkness came on it ceased and general quiet reigned in all parts of the field during the night. There was, however, one brief but sharp interruption of the prevailing quiet about 10 o'clock that night, resulting in the death of afew men and a gallant officer on the Federal side. I will relate the occurrence and ask its publication in your columns, in the hopethat it may lead to information on a certain special matter which I have ever wished to know. Some time after nightfall our (4th Ala,) regiment of intantry, belonging to Hood's Division, was thrown forward into an advanced position about 400 yards northeasterly from the little Dun- ker Church, in the open field, not very far from Mune’s house and strawstacks that were burned next morning. There we lay with a rail fence along our front, and for some reason—perhaps because we were 50 far out—there were no pick- ets out in advance of us. It was ex- tremely dark. I wa lying down on the ground just behind the lett flank of the regiment and had nearly fallen into a doze when about 10 o'clock I was sud- denly aroused and startled by a volley flred by the two or three left companies of our regiment without orders. Spring- ing up and inquiring the reason of this, I was informed that they had heard a party of what must be the enemy, who were just ir front of us, and had’ there- upon fired. Immediately afterward I heard out in the darkness before us a soldier calling to us for help and saying he was desperately wounded ; and by his addressing us first as “rebel boys”’ and then as “Southeren boys’ it was clear that he was a Federal soldier. I at once answered him in an elevated voice that we would send help if he pledged that our succoring squad should not be fired on by his friends, which pledge he gave and they respected it, if any were near enough to fie, Our party went out and found two or three slain, as I remember it, and brought in two wounded men, one a pri- vate and the other Lieut. Hardman P. Petriken of (I think) the 5th Pa. Re- serves. The private died almost immediately, Lieut. Petrikin was mortall wounded by a shotin the breast. While I was making arrangements to have him sent back to our field hospital, he spoke to me and said that be felt his wouflad” was mortal ; told me his name as [ have given it, and then pulling out his watch (quite a fine one)-—he handed it to me, saying : “I make the request of you that if you possibly can you will have my watch sent to my mother, who lives at” (or perhaps he said near) Chambersburg Pa.”’ "And, also, “Tell my comrades of the Union army for me that’I died like a soldier should, doing my duty.” He also explained that he had heen in charge of a reconnoitering party, and had expected to come upon our picBet line, but not upon a full bat- tle-line as he had. 2 As he was borne away to the hospital I bade him good-bye in the darkness, and promised to obey his requests if I lived and ever had the opportunity. He died, as I afterward learned, about sun- rise the next morning, just as the great battle was beginning. On the 18th of September, the day after the battle, the two armies, bleeding and battered and each hesitating to re- new the conflict, lay quiet, and with their lines almost near enough together in some places for tte men to look into each others’ eyes. For several hours during the afternoon of that day a local truce was established, and friendly inter- course carried on between the opposing ranks on that part of the line near the little Dunker Church and along the lane known as the Smoketown road. I avail- | ed myself of the opportunity thus afford- ed and going up that lane about half its length, met a Federal officer of courteous bearing and manners, to whom I deliver- ed Lieut. Petriken’s message to his com- rades and the watch, with the injunction that it be sent to his mother, at or near Chambersburg, Pa. . The name of that officer I cannot re- call. He was of medium stature, not over 27 years old, I should say ; was either an Adjutant.or Adjutant General in rank, and belonged, I think, to Gen. Sumrer’s command. Now, although T have mads considera- ble inquiry, I have paver beer wdle to learn whether the watch reached Petri- ken’s mother, nora word of information on. the subject, Possibly some one among your readers may know, and if so, L hope this communeation may elicit a satisfactory response.—War. M. Ronpins, Major, 4th, Ala, Statesville, NN. Ci.« : 199 We understand that the watch was safely returned to Lieut. Petriken’s rela- tives in this place. —Ep. Miners Strike tor Their Pay. WiLkesBarre, July 22.—About $00 miners of the Abbott coal company, at Miner's Mills, are out on: a strike to-day, owing to a misunderstanding about pay. Themen, presented their due-bills on Friday last, expecting their pay on Saturday. Notice was given on Saturday that the ‘pay was postponed till to-day, but up to noon it wasimot forthcoming. It is thought ‘that an adjustment will be a matter of only a few days. The County Democracy. Primary ® Election and County Con t vention, : gy. . .
