DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET
For-Congressman-at-Large.
JAMES D. 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

said, aspirations in the same direction;

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.

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.

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.

Want Him Taken from Prison,
Mepi1a, Pa., January 16.—Despite
Judge Clayton's decision that Swithin
C. 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.

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.

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.
The Barbour Silver Plate company
started up this week with a full force,
whose wages are cut 15 per cent.

——The following notice of the death
of Mrs. Beale, mother of the Rev. J. 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.
