‘What the Census Shows About Eduea.
tion.
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.

——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

——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

and dispatch. The stories from Russia

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. In this the Republican
candidate is undoubtly correct. He
will find the “enemy” very much alive.

Ina conversation which M. S.
Quay had at Beaver some days ago,
ke said, among other things: “I have
no doubt if Secretary BLAINE is a can-
didate he will receive the Republican
nomination.” This remark is not a
pleasant thing for Mr. Harrison to
hear, for he is aware that Quay is a
shrewd observer and usually knows
pretty well what he is talking about.
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. Fa
mine stares Russia in the face. Early
frost, destructive hail, and continued
drought have done their work. Instead
of exporting breadstuffs she will no,
have enough to feed her own hungry
population. Happily the crops ot the
United States are sufficient to feed the
starving of the Old World.
The first attempt to ship water-
melons direct to Europe from the mel-

week. The shipment consisted of two
crates of the finest melons, having an
average weight of forty pounds. If
the experiment is & success, it is be-
lieved that the Georgia melons will
drive out of the markets of Northern
Europe the few small and poorly fluy-
ored melons that are sometimes ship-
ped there from Spain, J ]

implicates Auditor General McCayant
as getting some of the boodle in which

extensively, But the friends of the
Auditor General insist that if he did

have a share, he didn’t use it himself,
but turned it over for campaign use.
But in what way would this mitigate
the offense ? Stealing money for cam-
paign purposes does not make it the
less a theft.

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.

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

it wasimot forthcoming. It is thought
‘that an adjustment will be a matter of
only a few days.
