ONE KILLED AND ANOTHER'S ARM
BrowN OFr¥. —Monday in the Philips-
burs ¢oal regions was characterized by
two neeidents, one of which resulted in
ithe death of Mike Guito, a Hungarian
leant digger, and by the other Salvina
Cavauch lost his arm. Guito was em-
plosed at the Baltic mine and met
feath from a premature fall of rock.
His head was crushed in, while Cav-
uch struck a match and succeeded in
eaving a spark fall on three dynamite
srtridges, which he was holding in his
jand. A fearful explosion followed
ind his arm was so horribly mangled
ihat the physicians at the cottage hospi-
lal found it necessary to amputate it.
He was digging fire clay, on Morgan
Run, at the time the accident occurred.

A SerIoUs FALL.—On Sunday even ~
ing Mrs. Lingle, the estimable wife of
ex-Sheriff Jos. L. Lingle, who resides on
Spring street, went up to visit her son
Howard, who wassick. Upon return-
ing about half past six o'clock, when
passing the public school grounds, she
fell from the pavement down into the
school yard alighting upon a pile ot
stones and receiving some very ugly
cuts and bruises about the head and
limbs. Her cries were heard by Charley
Noll and Jas. Cooke who procured a
rocking chair and, placing her in it,
carried her to her home. Dr. Harris
was called in and an examination made,
but no bones were found to have been
broken.
Mrs. Lingle is seventy-seven years
old and such a fall was & very serious
thing, however we are pleased to learn
that she is getting along nicely and
will soon be about as usual. This
should be a warning to the school
board to fix the fence up down along
there as it is un exceedinsly dangerous
place. Especially at the time of the
evening when this accident occurred, as
then the electric light is not on and
there is nothing to keep pedestrians
from falling over the embankment,
which ranges from four to ten feet in
heighth.
To Visit California and Mexico via
Pennsylvania Railroad.
No new feature ever inaugurated by
the Pennsylvania railroad company
attracted such universal comment and
attention as the series of tours run ear-
ly this year to the far Pacific Coast,and
now that another series is announced
for 1892, not oniy covering the Pacific
Coast but an individual tour to Mexico,
the land of the Aztec, is further illus-
tration of the wonderful growth of the
personally conducted systems of trav-
eling and the progressive move of this
world-famed railroad. Each tour will
be limited to a certain number of
passengers, who will travel in a Pull-
man vestibule train, furnished with the
luxurious appointments of the richest
home, with ladies’ maid, stenographer
and typewriter, library, bath and bar-
ber, and smoking and library rooms,
and an observation car—in truth an
exact reproduction of the famous Penn-
sylvania Limited. The first tour
leaves New York January 13th, and
speeds directly to the Pacific Coast via
St. Lous, Kansas City, Las Vegas and
Santa Fe. The second tonr, the Mex-
ican, leaves February 10th, running
direct to the City of Mexico* via Cin-
cinnati, Mammoth Cave, Birmingham,
Montgomery and New Orleans, with
incidental stops en route. The third,
February 24th, runs directly to New
Orleans, via Cincinnati and Mammoth
Cave, and thence, after the Mardi Gras
festivities, to the Pacific coast, The
fourth and fifth, both through Califor
fornia tours, will leave March 24th
and Amil 20th, respectively,
The inauguration of this service last
year was the theme for universal com-
ment, and the warmest credentials of
praise bear testimony to the high
standard and perfection of every detail
promoting the comfort and enjoyment
of the tourists.
Such an opportunity has never been
presented before to people of the East
of thoroughly seeing the vast. domain
of the country they so valiantly boast
of, as well assuch an opportunity of
visiting the interesting land of the Az
tec, replete with ruins garlanded with
mythical lore. The rates for the
round trip are exceptionally low,
and include, not only all necessary
traveling expenses en route to the Pa-
cific Coast and return, but also side
rips to the attractive resorts mm Cali-
fornia, and several carriage and stage
rides of interest. This applies as well
to the Mexican tour, where the objec:
tive point will be the city of Mexico
and side trips made from there, thus
including every necessary expense as
well as hotel accommodation and side
trips,
Itineraries presenting the full details
of the tours are in course of prepara-
tion, and will be issued at an early day.
In the meantime more detailed infor:
mation may be secured by addressing

"A Lie Nailed!
The Following Remarks Were Made by
Robert E. Wright, Democratic Candi
date for Auditor General, in His
Speech at Williamsport, Tuesday Eve-
ning, Oct. 20.
I regret to feel that I ought to turn
aside for a moment from the discussion
of the vital questions of the canvass to
notice a few misstatements made, by
certain opposition journals, about, me.
I have in my hand a copy of the
Farmers’ Friend, a journal published
by one R. H. Thomas, a Repablican
politician. Init I find a letter from
Leonard Rhouve, advising farmers to
vole against me because, as hedeclares
my ‘record show me to be opposed to
thie tarmers’ demand for an equal dis-
tribution of the necessary burdens of
governuient.”” ln an editorial on this
fewer the editor declares that I appear-
ed betore the House aad Senate com-
mittees as counsel for the Pennsylva-
nia Railroad Company and other cor-
poratious, and that I was perhaps the
ablest ot the opponents of and did more
than any other mau to defeat the “Tag-
gart bill.” Itis a remarkable coinci-
dence that these articles appeared in
the Farmers’ Friend within a week af-
ter Quay’s boast that so far as these
so-called leaders of the grange were
able to control it, the farmer vote
should be cast against me. I want to
8uy to these two gentlemen that every
important assertion or insinuation in !
this statement is untrue.
I did appear before the committees
named on behalf of one client, the Le-
hign Valley R. R. Co., to present an
argument against certain provisions
of the bill as unwise and unconstitu-
tional. 1 did not appear for the Penn-
sylvania Railroad Company, for I nev-
er ‘have been counsel for it in any mat-
ter. That company was represented
before the committee by Republican ex-
Autorney General Palmer, while anoth-
er railroad company was represented
by Republican ex-Attorney Gereral
Kirkpatrick. It is not true as declar-
ed by Messrs. Rhone and Thomas,
that I argued against tax equalization.
Before I appeared before the com-
mi tee I frankly declared to my client
that my investigations had eatisfied me
that the owners of real estate, especial-
ly (he tarmers, were bearing more than
their share of the burdens ot taxation
and that as compared with real estate
owners, the corporations were paying
too little; that I had confirmed this
opinion by statistics co'lected by my-
selt and that I must so state in any
plea I might make tor the amendment
of the Taggart bill,
Before the committee I emphasized
these views. I gave my reasons for
believing that the 1ax equalization de-
manded by the tarmers was just and
ought to be conceded. When my ar-
gument was interrupied by a repre-
sentative asking whether I thought
that corporations were paying their
fair share of taxation, I answered
that in my judgment, as compared
with farmers, they were not. [ out-
lined the principles of a vill, which, it
adopted, would have given to the tarm-
ers, and to all peuple of Pennsylvania,
tax equalization. When I had con-
cluded my argument 1 was congratulat-
ed on my views by the true tax retorm-
ers on the committee ; I mean by those
members of the committee who stood
for tax equalization even after protes-
sional Farmer Taggart had bowed to
the order of the bosses and deserted his
own bill.
Tax equalization was defeated, not
becavse I argued for the amendment of
the Taggart bill, but because the Re-
publican bosses applied the whip and
by an almost strictly party vote set it
aside. The charge of these men that I
opposed tax equalization is contradict-
ed and refuted by every private and
public utterance I have every made on
the subject.
I say to Mr. Thomas that if he will
print in the next issue of the Farmers’
Friend my eutire, ungarbled argument
before the Senate or House committee
I will be glad to pay tor such insertion
at the usual advertising rates.
It is also charged thatI am a cor-
poration lawyer. I happen in my own
county to be the local counsel for the
few railroads that pass through it. I
try their cases there as do the
lawyers in other counties. [ en-
deavor in these cases to give them hon-
est compensation, as I do to any other
client I may have. They have never
asked more, and I assume they never
will. The Auditor General's office has
charge of the settlement of accounts
against corporations, I desire now to
give notice to all corporations that if I
am chosen to that office I will expect
every one of them to make prompt set-
tlement and payment of all taxes, but
at the same time I assure them that
the office shall not be used as the
hatching place for bogus claims and
euits devised for levying tribute upon
them for personal or political use.
Pine Grove Mentions.
Francis Speer, of Bellefonte, accompanied
by Mr, Shaffer paraded our streets on Tuesday
last.
Mrs. Robert Meek, of Altoona, came down to
spend a few days with her aged mother who
is 1 ill health, but who hasslightly improved
for the better.
And now our Democratic friend Andy Jack-
son Tate looms up as a “Fractificare” covering

ieties of choice apples all grown in one orchard

The physical condition of Capt. J. M. Kep
ler is slowly improving, with but very slight
improvementof his mental condition. How
ever, the Captain’s constitution'is of iron and
his many friends can hope for better reports.
Mr. Adam Murpher, a veteran of the war, ac
companied by his family, are this week visit
ing his mother-in law, Mrs. Judge Smith, on
Water street. Adam is cue of old Clearfield’s
rock-ribbed Democrats and says that an in-
creased Democratic majority will be rolled up
next Tuesday.
Mrs. John L. Rumberger is about purchasing
the A. J. Orndorf, down town, property with a
view of becoming one of our citizens. This is
a desirable property and we would extend the
old lady a most cordial welcome, feeling assur
ed she cannot be better suited considering the
very low price asked for it.
We are in receipt of news from a private
source apprising us of the sad death of Mr, Al-
fred Guthrie, of Osceola Al. was a most trust-
ed employe on the Clearfield branch. His
death was caused by jumping from a moving
train and, being thrown under the cars, one of
his legs was 80 badly crushed that it became
necessary to amputate it. Butdeath relieved
his suffering soon after the operation was per-
formed. He was a sober, industrious and en-
ergetic young man and leaves a wife and two
small. c!ildren to mourn their loss. Mrs.
Guthrie's maiden name was Amanda McMah-
on, formerly of this place. To her and his
small family we extend our heartfelt sympathy
in this their hour of trial and bereavement.

A Properly Dressed Man.
According to the best fashion papers the well dressed
man of to-day wears a three, or four buttoned, cutaway
sack coat, single breasted vest, buttoned slightly higher
than they have been worn during the summer and
trousers of medium width. In colors, the different
shades of brown are selling fastest, though very fashiona-
ble people are wearing many light fabrics.
Hats are large in shape, and lower in the crown than
they have been for some time, with rather wide, slightly
curling brims. Black and brown being the most popu-
lar colors for both business and dress.
Tn scarfs : delicate shades of blue and brown are very
much worn, but, for those who can wear them, the bril-
liant reds add great beauty when worn with the popu-
lar wood brown suitings. The large puffs, ascots and
four in hands are popular, though English bows are
much worn by those who profess to be leaders.
In collars the self rolling medium heighth styles are
proper while cuffs are linked, with square corners.
The above is a complete description of what you should
wear if you care to be in style, and why not be dressed
properly when it 2osts just as little.

articles for the wonderfully small sum of $14,00. Amaz-
