HANCOCK of Venango Co. Lawless Panishment. 1 It is rather a slur on the civilization of this country, and a ‘discouragement to those who believe in a strict obser- vance and orderly enforcement of the law, that it should be announced in the newspapers that on the same .day a ‘man charged with murder was lynched, in Ohie, and another, for a like alleged offense, met with similar capital punishment administered by the'mob in the same lawless and ir- regular way, in Indiapa. This ‘hap- pened on the 12th inst. This lawlessness is ‘brought nearer home to us by the fact that in the same week a mob was. with difficulty restrained from lynching a man in. New Castle, this State, on the accusa-. tion of having attempted to murder: two.women in their room-at night. It is really alarming to-see how the disposition to take the law in their own hands is growing among the ‘Ameriean people. In none of these cases-was the offence of a character that could not have been satisfactorily treated ‘by the regular operation of the law. In no case does criminal pun- ishment require the action of the mob. When any other than the regular legal means are employed anarchy is iatroduced in the administration of justice. : The .disposition to dispense with courts and juries in the treatment of offenders is frightfully on the increase. Some years.ago it was confined to and excused in the rougher regions of the West and South, where the machinery of the law was slow and uncertain. But when it shows itself in States abun- dantly supplied with courts and all the other appliances for the regular enforce- ment of legal ordinances, a terrible de- moralized condition of public order is displayed, which, in addition to the assertion of a better public sentiment, imperatively requires legitlative action for its correction. Mr. Carnegie’s Sagacity. Mr. ANDREW CARNEGIE, the great steel manufacturer, is a man who evi- dently knows when he has enough. For years his business has been bene- fited by a very high tariff. Oa ac count of the control of the American market, which excessively high duties on steel have given the manufacturers of that article, he has been enabled to command an exeeedingly high price, for his product, as have all the other steel makers, and on account of this advantage he has become immensely rich. Now when it is proposed to reduce the duty ou steel, which will limit the monopoly encouraged by the McKin- LEYITES, Mr. CARNEGIE is reasonable enough not to kick. He does not join in with the calamity howl. He knows that the profits of his business will still remain large and he is not avari- cious enough to want the immense profits of an excessive tariff to con- tinue for ever In this respect he dif- fers from the industrial hogs who want their troughs to be always overflowing with the rich swill of monopoly. He therefore does not oppose the Wirson tariff bill. He believes that the steel industry will enjoy sufficient prosperity under it, and he gives it as his opinion, that in this condition of tae industrial question, a Democratic tariff would produce more beneficial 2sults than a Republican tariff, bas- ing this view on the sagacious reason that a moderate tariff,such as the WiL- soN bill would furnish, would give greater stability and permanence to manufactures than is afforded by an extremely high tariff which must ne- cessarily cause dissatisfaction to a majority of the people, and is con- tinually open to political attack. Such an opinion shows the practical good sense of the great steel mauu- facturer. SE ——Newspaper reports say that Ex-Senator McKN1GET WILLIAMSON, of Huntingdon, is busily engaged in working up his candidacy, to succeed JndgelFurer, as the Republican nom- inee for judge in this district. Attor- ney LoveLy, of the same county, who beat WiLLIAMEON for re-nomination to the Senate, two years ago, hag, it is said, aspirations in the same direction; go that with Furst and Love and ReepEr, candidates in Centre , and “'WiLLiamsoN and LovELL contending for the place in Huntingdon, there are promises of more fun in this contest thap anyone imagined. wid J It Frightens No One. The eflort of the Republican press to make believe that there tent. The organization made up of Quay schemers, and trading politicians | under the name of “The Pennsylvania Democracy,” has not succeeded in fool: ing the Democracy of the State, or in convincing the people of its importance or need. In fact stripped of all verbage | and seen as the naked truth exposes it, this alleged organization, is without backing friends or following. Its membership is made up of Re- publicans whose purpose is to secure a Republican Senator, Republican Rep- resentatives and Republican Council- men from districts in Philadelphia that ought to be Democratic, and a lot of alleged Democrats who can be used by Quay and his schemers to accom- plish these purposes. There is not a Democrat of standing in the state who has, or will have, anything to do with it. There is not a Democratic newspa- perin the state that sympathizes with .or supports it. ; There is not a:representative Demo- «erat any-where who encourages or will give it assistance. There is not a voter connected with it who has voted the straight Demo- || cratic ticket for the past four years. And to sum up its influence and im- portance, even if it gets poor, old, Dr. MarkLEY to accept its nomination, it will not poll for him, outside of the «ity of Philadelphia, enough of voles to know that such a ticket had been in the field, and within that city, it will not receive the votes of 100 men whe are in the habit of voting the Democratic ticket. Did not Work as Predicted. Some how or other the victory of the monometalists, who succeeded in knocking out Silver during the special session of Congress, has not resulted in the benefit that was promised. When that fight was on we were assured, on every hand, that the continuance of the coinage of silver into money, was the cause of the depletion of the gold re. serve in the Treasury. Just how or why it was, was not fully explained. But the representatives in Congress, ac- cepted the situation for a fact, and went ahead and legislated just as east- ern money interests dictated. We have the result in the efforts of the Secretary of the Treasury to bor- row $50,000,000 to make good, the Treasury reserve that has vanished since silver coinage has ceased. So that after all the effort at demonetizing silver has not saved the gold reserve, or brought that confidence and pros: perity that it was predicted such legis- lation would bring. It is possible thatas we grow older we will learn something, and that something will be, that the advice of interested bankers and money lenders is not always the safest to follow when the interests of the people are at stake. ——There is no doubt of the fact that if Democrats throughoutthe state will attend the spring election that the Republican majority will be reduced to such an extentas will surprise the people. While Hancock hasthe con- fidence, the respect and will gecure the united support of his party, Grow is mistrusted by the leaders of his party, is dis-liked by the masses, and doubted by the bosses. It will only take a reasonably full vote polled by the Democrats, to cut in two, if not entirely wipe out, the 130, 000 majority that was given against us last tall. Not Encouraging to the Calamity Howler. The tact that the Johnson Steel Rail company, of Johnstown, has a committee out now looking up an available point to locate and build a new steel plant, which is to cost $3, 000,000, is not an encouraging si gn to the calamity howler and opponent of tarift reform. It shows that this great industry, which the public has always been told could not prosper only under the highest kind of protection, has neither fear of the effect of Democratic tariff reform or doubt about the pros- perity of the country after that reform has been accomplished. With CarNeciE urging the adoption of reduced tariff rates, and the next largest manufacturer of steel rails in the country prepairing to expend $3, 000,000 in enlarging ite plant, before that reform is secured, is not a hope- ful prospect for the party whose suc- cess depends upon continued business distress, nor is it a cheerful outlook for the Republican press, the energy of which is being over taxed, in its efforts to have the public believe that the country and all its business industries are going to the devil, head long, in consequence of the attempt to make this reform. is a revolt | among the Pennsylvania Democrats, is | not succeeding (0 any appreciable ex- | Will Issue Bonds. Secretary Carlisle Has Decided to Use His An thority.— Wants to Raise $50,000,000.— The Bonds Are Either to Be Registered or in Coupon Form, and in Denominations of $30 or More, and They Will Be Issued February First.— The Conditions of the Bidding. WASHINGTON, January 17.—The fol. lowing is the text of the circular which Secretary Carlisle bas just issued : By virtue of the authority contained in the act entitled, “An act to provide | for the resumption of specie payments” “approved January 14, 1875, the secre- | TIGL orner. tary of the treasury hereby offers for public subscription an issue of bonds of the United States to the amount of $50,000,000, in either registered or coupon form, in denominations of $50 and upwards, redeemable in eon at the pleasure of the government after ten years from the date of their issue, and bearing interest, paying quarterly in coin, at the rate of 5 per cent, per anaum. Proposals for the whole, or part of these bonds, will be received at the treasury department, office of the secretary, until 12 o'clock noon on the 1st day of February, 1894. Proposals should state the amount of bounds de- sired, whether registered or coupon, and the premium which the subscriber proposes to pay, the place where it is desired that the bonds shall be de livered, and the office, whether that of the treasurer of the United States or an assistant treasurer of the United States, where 1t will be most convenient for the subscriber to deposit the amount of subscription. Failure to specity the above particulars may cause the pro- jposals to be rejected. As soon as practicable, after the first day ot February, the allotment of bonds will be made to the highest bidder therefore, but no proposal will be con- sidered at a lower price than $117,223, which is the equivalent of a 3 per cent. bond at par, and theright to reject any and all proposals is hereby expressly reserved. In case the bids entitled to allotment exceed the bonds to be issued, they will be allotted pro rata. ‘Notices of the date of delivery of the bonds will be sent to the subscribers, to whom allotments are made as soon as practicable, and within ten days from the date of such notice subscrip- tions must be paidin United States gold coin to the|treasurer or such assie- tant treasurer of the United States as the subscriber has designated and if not so paid the proposal may be rejected. The bonds will be dated February 1, 1894, and when payment is made therefor as above, accrued inter- est on both principal and premium from February 1 to date of payment at the rate of interest realized to the sub- scriber on his investment will be ad ded. All proposals should be addressed to the secretary of the treasury, Washing- ton D. C., and should be distinctly marked “Proposals for. subscriptions to five per cent. bonds.” [Signed.] J. G, CARLISLE, Secretary. The action of Secretary Carlisle in announcing a bond issue was not gen- erally known, even in treasury circles, when the department closed today- Among the officials who were cog- nizant of his intention the opinion was that he acted none too soon. The treasury gold is rapidly on the decline. The loss today was $862,000 and since the first of the month the gold balance has declined from $80,891,000 to $70,- 634,915 with the present indications that iv will fall below $70,000,000 to- morrow. The bonds are, of course, to be pur- chased for gold only so the treasury gold will be built up to the extent of the bond issue. This, however, it is anticipated, may only give temporary relief. Gold may be paid into the the treasury for bonds one day and the very next day the very same'gold may be withdrawn by presenting legal ten- der notes or coin certificates for re- demption- The effect of the bond issue, howev- er, will be to give the treasury more money, whether gold or currencv, is immaterial, and ease up government finances at least for the present. Brazilian Insurrection Is Nearly End- ed- WasHINGTON, Jan. 15—A cable message in cipher from Captain Pick- ing, at Rio Janeiro, and addressed to Secretary Herbert, was translated at the navy department to day but Mr. Herbert declined to make its contents public. It is understood to contain a summary of the situation with a hint that the insurrection is nearly ended. It is generally believed that the danger of the re-establishment of the mon- archy in Brazil has passed, and that theinferential protest against such a change in the government in the pres- ence of five United States war vessels at Rio will need no active emphasis. All the meagre information obtainable in Washington of the situation at the Brazilian capital points to the final triumph of the government. Employing the Entire Force. Easton, Pa., Jan. 17.—The Warren Foundry and Machine company, of Philipsburg, N. J., which shut down the third week in December, is now employing its entire force of 350 men, with wages reduced 10 per cent. The American Steel mill, employing 100 bands, will resume on Feb. 1. The National Switch and Signal company, of this place, will resume work soon. It will employ more than 100 hands. Run into an Express Train. Twelve People Killed and Twenty Injured This Morning. New York, Jan. 15.—An express train from Dover N. J., was run into at Hackensack bridge today by an ac- commodation train trom South Orange and twelve persons were killed and twenty injured, all residents of New Jersey. The first train stopped and did not flag the train following. There was a heavy fog at the time of the ac- cident. Five Masked Robbers Makes a Raid on a Pennsylvania Postouffice. The Leader of the Volunteer Posse Fatally Wounded —Two of the Bandits Shot, but carried Off by Their Companions—A Retreat Across the Susquehanna in a Rowboat— The Party Now Supposed to be Hiding in a Mountain Cave. DANVILLE, Pa. Jan. 18.--Five mask- ed bandits made a raid on the postoffice atan early hour this morning. A police- man €aW & man crouching in the door- way and drew a revolver, but befors he could fire the stranger slipped around a The policeman rushed to the homes of Officer Dave Rissel and John Van Gil- ger and gave the alarm. Ina fow nr - utes the three men ran to the postoffice, in time to meet the mysterious stranger emerging from the door, followed by a companion. He blew a loud, piercing whistle, and commenced firing at the police, who dodged behind the lamp- posts and returned the fire. A REGULAR PITCHED BATTLE. Ten shots were exchanged, when the robbers were reinforced by three more men. Everyone was well armed, and a continuous round of firing commenced. ged the stone steps leading to the mas- sive building, where they were able to escape the policemen’s builets. Numerous citizens appeared, armed with weapons of every description. The firing became so warm that the robbers retreated to the river bank. They dis- charged three volleys at the excited townsmen and ran eastward, each side exchanging shots, Van Gilger, who led the pursuers, suddenly threw up his hands, and fell shot through the lungs. About the same time two of the robbers fell. Their comrades picked them up, and during a momentary halt the pur- suers managed to reach the Susquehanna river. ESCAPED IN A ROWBOAT. A rowboat was secured and the three out-laws, after laying the wounded com- panions in the bottom of the boat, com- menced sculling in the direction of the Northumberland side. The pursuers, now a force of 100 in- furiated men, secured as many boats as possible and an exciting chase commenc- ed, revolvers and rifles cracking at every turn, but no one was hit. Owing to their good start the outlaws succeeded in reaching the opposite side before the formost boat containing the police was halfway across, and when the pursuers touched land the daring men were in the mountains, which are being scoured on all sides by the Sheriff's posse. It is thought that the bandits will seek a cave in order to hide from their pursuers. In the event of their being surprised another desperate battle will occur. The Sheriff declares he will bring back the slayers of Van Gilger dead or alive. A Damper for the Calamity Crier, Not Afraid of Democratic Tariff Reform. JonNstrown, Pa., Jan. 12.—Presi- dent A. J. Moxham, of the Johnson Steel Rail Manufacturing Company has announced that a committee is now traveling over the country inves- tigating the advantages of yarious steel centers. This means that the new steel rail mill contemplated by that company might not be located in Johnstown, and that the rolling mills here might be removed to wherever the new plant goes. The hope of the management is that Johnstown would be the favored point. The plant projected is a 10 ton cou- verter with automatic rail mill, in connection with one now in use. Itis also intended to increase the capacity of the present shape mill by adding an additional engine which will enable the company to roll rails from 90 to 100 instead of 60 feet in length as now. Another additional mill is contempla- ted, but not definitely decided upon. The expenditure in the contemplated change is about $3,000,000. The annual meeting of stockholders will be held on February 18, when a vote will be taken on the proposition to increase the indebtedness of the company from nothing to $2,000,000. Congressman Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, O., is one of the largest stockholders in the company. Increase in Coal Production. New York, Jan. 17.—The forth- coming annual report of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad company will show an increase in the past year in the anthracite coal pro- duction of the company itself of about 6% per cent. The excess of coal pro- duction from all sources, including tributary lines, will amount to about 360,000 tons. There was a considera- ble increase in coal profits over 1892 and also in general merchant dise and agricultural produce traffic, but it is doubtful whether the percent- age of profit in proportion to the lar- ger volume of business will be as great. The company earned on the stock in 1892 9% per cent. Negotiating to Buy the Big Gun. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15—The war de partment is said, on good authority, to be negotiating with Messrs. Krupp, of Essen, for the purchase of the huge gun exhibited at the World's fair. The gun exceeds in size any piece of ord. nance now owned by the United States and it is said it can be got ata bar- gain. Originally costing $100,000, the great piece has cost a small fortune for transportation and the Krupps are not anxious to take it back. It can be bought probably for $60,000 now. If set up at Sandy Hook, says one army officer, it would be as good a coast de- fense as a gunboat. An Execution Deferred. Carvisee, Pa., January 15.—Gov- ernor Pattison to-day granted a stay of execution in the cases of Charles Sal- yards, the convicted murderer of Pol- iceman Martin, until Thursday, March 1. Salyard was to have been hanged on the 23d of this month. The case is to come before the board of pardons on application for a rehearing. a TT. NBN mee gs A om AA Heist Hanged. He Was Executed at Gettysburg Yesterday for lhe Murder of Emanuel Monn Last February GETTYSBURG, Pu., Jan. 17.--Mur. derer Heist was hanged at 1134 this morning. The drop fell at 11.10 and death was dne to strangulation. Heist slept well last night, ate a hearty break fast and was cheerful all the morning. Hs died declaring his innocence, The crime for which Henry Hoist paid toe death penalty was the murder of Emanuel Monn, on the night of Feb, 1, 1893. Both men were employed as woodehoppers, and lived together in a cabin about a mile from the spot upon which stood Thad Stevens’ old Mary furnace. On tbe night of the murder they went together to the house of a neighbor for the purpose of visiting a younz woman, of whom both were en- amored. They left the house together at midnight, and the nextday Heist and the woman went away together on a ! trip to an adjacent county. Monn’s absence excited suspicion and a search was instituted, which resulted in the finding of his mutilated body on March 12. It was buried in a shallow grave in the woods and covered with The bandits formed a square and hug- | leaves, over which a log had been rolled. Heist fled when the body was found, and kept himself in hiding until March 18, when he surrendered to the authori- ties, at the same time protesting that he was innocent and demanding protection. Aft the trial, which took place in the following August, he was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged on Dec. 14. Tt took the jury but twelve minutes to arrive at a verdict. Governor Pattison granted a respite until to-day in order to give the condemned man a chance to appeal to the board of pardons, which promptly rejected his appeal. He was of the low- est order of intelligence, and evinced no feeling of regret for his crime. Agricultural Officers. Chosen at the Annual Meeting of the State Soci- ety Held at Harrisburg Yesterday.

Shortlidge must remain in jail and be tried for the murder of his wife be- fore he can be removed to an insane asylum, the friends of the unfortunate man are persisting in their efforts to have him removed from prison to where he can receive proper treatment. They applied to the state board of charities to investigate the case and to day Dr. Wetherill, secretary of the board, visited Shortlidge at the jail. After his visit Dr. Wetherill said the man was undoubtedly insane and his mania was of such a pronounced char- acter that an extended examination of him was unnecessary. Just what will be the course pursued by the board of charities in the case is not known. ATES —— A Negro's Horrible Crime. He Murders His Family ¢ and Then Burns the Bodies. BirMiNGgHAM, Ala, January 16 — John E. Johnson, a negro, murdered his entire family at Somerville, Mor- gan county, Sunday night, and tried to cover up hie crime by burning the house. The wife and two children, aged respectively 3 and 5 years, were the victims. Johnson first cut their throats and then saturated them with oil and set fire to the house. Only charred portions of the bodies were found in the debris. Jealousy and another woman figured in the case. Johnson is in jail and is pretty sure to be lynched before morning, as the ex- citement among the negroes is intense and they are gathering in large num- bers to avenge the horrible crime.

WicHiTa, Kan.,, Jan. 17.—Sheriff Royse and United States officials have offered rewards aggregrating $1,000 for the capture of Clyde Mattox, the youthtul murderer, who escaped from jail here yesterday, not six hours after he had been found guilty of murder in the first degree. A number of officers are after him, but his capture is doubt- ful. CS TITRA The National Guard Encampment. GETTYSBURG, Pa., January 16.—Ad- jutant General Greenland and Major General Snowden, commanders of the Pennsylvania National Guards, were here today inspecting the ground which will be occupied by the division at its encampment next summer. The location will be thesame as occupied in 1884—the high ground west of the Emmittsburg road, over which Pick- ett’s division charged in their assault in Hancock's front. RIE YE SG TI Revival in Connecticut. HARTFORD, Jan. 17.—Thronghout central Connecticut there are evidences of a revival in the industrial situation — not a rapid movement, but a steady one. Hartford has suffered camparatively little. No factories bave been shut down and hands who were laid off are gradually getting back to their benches.

D, Baale, well known to many of our read- ers is taken from the Mifflintown 7rib- une : Mrs. Milly Beale, born in Tuscarora Valley Juniata Co. Pa., July 14, 1801, departed this life a’ her residence in Bealetown, Dec. 20, 1893. in her;93rd year. What a great age! We nat- urally associate with such advanced years great bodily infirmities the absence of former companions, decay of natural spirits and the neglect of society. And yet, itis doubtful if “Aunt Milly,” as all Tuscarora Vally familiarly called this venerable woman, had ever thou ght of these burdens of old age except, possibly, “the absence of former companions.’ She really;had scarcely any of the ills of old age. She had a marvellous beauty in her un- wrinkled face, a ;complete absence of bodily pain, a remarkable cheerfulness of spirits and scores and scores of ardent friends, even among the young children of the village and neighborhood, who visited her often and often and loved to hear her words and receive her blessings. She enjoyed life and everything. She often said that old age was honorable and that'length of days was a scriptural blessing. She was confident that her Master, whose she was and whom she served, would not cast her off in the time of old age nor forsake her when her strength failed. She died tn the full pos- session ofall her mental powers; and the last of ten brother and sisters, went home to Heaven to meet the other nine who, itis believed : preceded her to that Happy Home and who were waiting to welcome her “over there.” Among herjlast words were “Come Lord Jesus Come Quickly.” “Sin shall not have dominion over me.” “Simply to Thy Cross I Cling." ' On the 23rd ult, the mortal remains of the deceased were carried by the sons, David James, McConnell and Frank from her late res. idence to the hearse. The same body bearers carried]the sacred dust into the McCulloch's Mills Presbyterian church where, in the pres- ence of a large audience, the Rev. 8. A. Dav. enport delivered a very appropriate funeral discourse. After the sermon and after the people had jviewed the familiar face once more, six of the grand children acted as pall bearers to ‘the 'grave where she was buried beside her husband, Joshua Beale, who died 18 years before. , There was gently laid away a mother in Israel in the assurance of a bless(ul resur- 1ection and a glorious immorta lity.
