The resolution that was introduced in the House of Representatives at Harrisburg last Friday calling for a statement, from the State Treasurer, of the total amount of funds, script and land. that the State has given to The Pennsylvania State College since its founding, is being looked upon in a questionary manner by all who know anything of the State's institution of learning. There can be no doubt that there was malice at the root of itall and the author of the resolution possi- blv hoped to cast a reflection on the College that would culminate in a public investigation. The trustees of the College would more ‘than likely hail with delight a legislative investigating committe, for what better chance could they desire than such a visit would afford to con- vince the Legislators that the College is ready and open for inspection not only in its educational departments, but in the counting room as well. The Pennsylvania State College has done and is doing a greater work to- day than any other institution in the country, on a corresponding endow: meut, and right here it might be well to explain to everyone that the State does not pay The Pennsylvania State College any annual amount for its sup- port. The only funds received are a quasi endowment, which many people mistake as being paid by the State, when in truth itis the interest which the State owes the College on money it realized from the sale of land granted by the United States for the purpose of endowing an Agricultural and Mechanic Arts College in every State in the Union. Pennsylvania should be shamed by the very prosperous existence of The Pennsylvania State College which it has done so little to bring about. An institution of such magnitude and one that is doing such work is deserving of all the State will do for it. And we areof the opinion that should an investigation be made the report will prove a boomerang to the fellows who are trying to cast a reflection on the institution, A — CT ——Caucus meetings to place in nomination tickets for the spring elec: tion should be held on Saturday, Jan- uary 26th, and County Chairman N.

The Democratic party has always been recognized as one of a higher standard than any of its rivals and though it seems that a corresponding success rarely rewards its honest efforts the day will cone when purity in politics will triutoph and then Democracy will be supreme. o———————— — Vice President and Mre.

An Ohio River Boat Goes Down in Deep Water. The Boat Struck a Rock and Sunk Five Min utes After the Collisions Her Life Boats Cap- sized by the Wild Rush of People on Board. Details of the Accident Lacking. Cincinvati, Jan. 20.—News has reached here that the packet steamer State of Missouri sank at a point about 200 miles below this city and between thirty and forty people were drowned. It is impossible to obtain particulars. THE SURVIVORS TELL OF MUCH LOSS OF LIFE. OwgxNeBoro, Ky., Jan. 20.—Four survivors from the wreck of the State of Miesouri were on the mail picket City of Owensboro when she passed here today. They saved their lives by swimming and managed to catch to a tree some distance below. One had managed to reach shore, but the other three remained in the tree till rescued. It is believed by them that from twen- ty to forty lives were lost. A yawl containing a woman and two children was upset by men trying to climb in and all were drowned. There were over 100 people on the boat, ac- cording to their estimate. The cabin and upper works of the boat floated away. The Texas and Pilot House were towed ashore at Rockport. The City of Owensboro got out part of the freight from the cabin deck. Most of the passengers saved went up the river on the Tell City. SOME DETAILS. OwENSBORO, Ky., Jan. 20.—Brief and fragmentary details of the destrucs o'clock, at Alton, Indiana, one hun- dred miles above here, have been re- ceived. She struck a rock and sank in fifty feet of water. The report says that at least thirty- seven passengers were drowned, but no names are given. The state of Missouri is a very long | stern wheeler, plying between Cin- cinnati and New Orleans. She had on board a fairly large cargo of freight and 100 passengers, besides a crew of sixty. y At Alton the river narrows and the water being high, an extremely swift current results. This threw the stern of the boat towards the Indiana shore. Before the pilot could regain control of the boat she hit a rock, tearing a long hole in the hold at the water line. The shock was terrific and conster- nation seized upon the passengers and in a moment they were frantic. With out regard of consequences they rushed to the upper decks in the hope of de- laying the inevitable, as the boat was rapidly sinking. Women and children were tramped upon, but it is believed all got out of the cabin. Then the scramble for seats in the yawls began. It was a fight for life, in which many combatants are believed to have gone to their death. The first yawl launch- ed was sunk within twenty feet of where it struck the water. It is be- lieved every one in it was drowned in the sight of the affrighted people hud- dled together on the sinking steamer. Alton, Indiana, where the wreck oc- curred is thirty miles from a telegraph station, with almost impassable roads. The news secured came by steamers passing here to-day. CS ————— Important Facts.

BROOKLYN, Jan. 21.—The great rail- road strike in this city bas finally re- gulted in serious bloodshed, and a dozen men are in hospitals more or less bad- ly wounded. Three thousand men are under arms, and rioting is the order of the day, the strikers having had some serious clashes with the militia. Troops patrolled the tracks in all the districts where trouble was teared, but notwith- standing these precautionary measures the violence of the mobs was only in creaged. The presence of the militia did not tend to prevent the mobbing of numer- ous conductors and motormen who had taken positions with the tied up roads. In many instances nonunion men were badly hurt, and so fierce were the at- tacks of the strikers that the soldiers had to resort to the bayonet. Several strikers or sympathizers were bayouet- ed, and although as yet no ove has been killed the situation is considered the gravest that has confroated the au- thoriues for many years. So threatening, too, has become the attitude of the mobs that 200 men, who had been secured by the Brooklyn Heights Railroad company, abandoned their work in a body. The strikers threatened them with violence or death, and the newly engaged mea not only left their work, but departed from the city as well. MORE TROOPS, MAY BE CALLED. Even the board of meditation and arbitration has given up its attempts at reconciliating the two factions. Com- missioners Robertson and Purcell have | apparently sbandoned any hope of ef fecting a compromise for the present at least, for after the board adjourned yesterday they left town, declariog that the board had been able to accomplish | nothing. FIERCE FIGHTING. The most serious conflicts between the strikers and the militia occurred in East New York. The first was at Jamaica and Alabama avenues, and the soldiers under Colonel Eddy charg- ed the hooting mob several times, con- siderably bruising a number of the rioters and bayoneting two or three others. The militia were later com- pelled to again charge the strikers, who had gathered in great numbers about the car stables in East New York, Showers of stones and other miesiles greeted the soldiers, who, however, drove the crowd before them. Private Malcomb Wood was struck on the head by a brick, and it is feared that he is seriously injured. A score of oth- ers were more or less bruised by the flying rocks and botties. A gnard of mounted police re-enforced the militia, and many of the rioters were severely clubbed. About 150 new strikers arrived on the scene at this time laden with stones and missiles of every description. When the officers of the regiment saw these new arrivals, they promptly or- dered a charge on the mob. The mob retreated down Alabama avenue in the direction of Atlantic avenue, contest- ing the ground fiercely. Shower after shower of stones and lumps of coal and brickbats were thrown at the soldiers, who were compelled to resort to such devices as striking at their opponents with swords, bayonets and clubbed muskets. WORSE THAN AT BUFFALO. One of the officers, after the charge was over, displayed a sword that was bent double with the force of one of the ' blows he had struck.

After this charge the troops with- The strikers again charged on the picket line, and again the troops were ordered out. This time they drove the strikers down East New York avenue, up Fulton avenue and again through Alabama avenue, This last charge, of- ficers declare, who have been through the Buffalo riots, was a fiercer and more bitterly contested piece of mili- tary duty than anything they exper ienced while in Buffalo. Some idea of the violence of the fighting may be learned when it is known that from the immediate neighborhood 15 amba- lance calls were sent out to St. Mary's hospital. The strikers then quieted down, but the roads are all still practically tied up. The militia is in complete charge of the city, and the police have receiv- ed instructions to be ready to respond to the first summons no matter from where it may come. Mayor Schieren says that he will re- quest the executive committees of the former employees and also the repre- sentatives of surface railroads to call at his house for the purpose of sug- gesting that the strike matter be left for adjustment to three disinterested citizens to be appointed by him. A CLASH OF ARMS. BrookLyN, N. Y., January 2l.— Volleys were fired and riotous mobs charged with fixed bayonets in the streets of Brooklyn to-day. New York's crack regiment, the Seventh, was attacked ; stones were thrown and shots fired at the guardsmen from crowds on the pavement and by per- sons in windows and on roofs of houses. The troops fired several volleys over the heads of the mob. Sharp shooters were detailed and ordered “to shoot to kill” at any person ceen throwing missiles or firing shots from house tops to windows. So far as -known no one in the mobs has been hit by shots from the troops. Numbers of people were jabbed with bayonets, but none seriously injured. One policeman was wounded in the hand and another in the arm by bul- lets shot either by militiamen or per- gons in the crowd. Two other police- men received scalp wounds, and still another a fractured skull from missiles thrown from roof tops. One militia- | toxication. ! railroad depot in an attempt to escape from the Thirteenth regiment armory, where he had been imprisoned tor in- All these casualties and many of a less serious nature occurred in a succession of disturbances which | took place 1n spite of the presence of | nearly 7,000 troops and 2,700 police 1 men. The railroad companies made but little progress toward resuming normal traffic. All cars were stopped shortly after dark instead ot beng run until midnight as planned. President Lewis said that he was requested by the police to stop running after dark. The | police superintendent declared that this was not so, and said thai, on the contrary, the presidents notified him early that all cars would cease running at 8 o'clock. ‘The Brooklyn common council and the board of supervisors of Kings county adopted resolutions denouncing the railroad companies for refusing to gettle the strike and calling upon the attorney general to take action to abrogate their charters. Later—1 a. m., January 22—All is now quiet. No crowds are on the streets and no further trouble is ex- pected to-night. State College Bill. A Measure to Place That Institution Under Ab- solute Control of the Commonwealth. HARRISBURG. Jan. 23.—The trustees of The Pennsylvania State College, at their tenth annual meeting, this morn- ing, unanimously agreed to recommend the introduction of a bill in the present Legislature, which will place the institu- tion under the absolute control of the commonwealth, The present trustees are to have their terms end with the 1st of July next and a new board is to be created, to be composed of the governor auditor general, secretary of internal af- fairs and superintendent of public ir- struction as ex officio members, and twenty additional trustees, fifteen of whom are to be appointed by the gov- ernor and five chosen by the alumni of the college. The terms of the appoint. tive trustees are to be five years each, except that of those first appointed by the governor. Five are to serve for five years, five for four and five for three years. Annually thereafter five will be appointed to serve for five years. The object of this change is to bring the college into closer relations with the commonwealth and avoid the present cumbersome mode of electing the trus- tees by a convention of delegates by the various agricultural and mechanical as- sociations. At the meeting of the board of trus- tees, as at present constituted, Colonel Francis Jordon, of Harrisburg, was re- elected president of the board ; Dr. Geo. W. Atherton, president of the college, was re-elected secretary and John Ham- ilton, of Centre county, treasurer. The treasurer’s report showed total receipts during the past year of $204,- 987, and expenditures of $200,819, leav- ing a balance in the treasury of $4,118. The report of the president of the col- lege, Dr. Geo. W. Atherton, to the board of trustees shows a remarkable in- crease in the efficiency of the college in the past eleven years. The teaching force has been increased from seventeen to forty, the number of students from ninety-two to 817 and the number of counties represented from twenty-two to fifty. Students have also been present each year from other states, as well as some from foreign countries. The tui- tion ot Pennsylvania students is free. . Pattison Notified. He Was Informed of His Nomination for Mayor of the City of Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21.—Ex-Govern- or Robert E. Pattison, who, on last Wednesday, was nominated by the Democratic city convention for the of- fice of Mayor, was to-day officially notified of his nomination by a com- mittee headed by William F. Belster- ling, permanent chairman of the con- vention. The formal letter presented to ex- Governor Pattison read : “Your nomi- nation was made not only because of your high character and position in the community and of your eminent quali- fication for that high office, but also in response to the spontaneous demand of your fellow citizens of Philadelphia, irrespective of party, that you should lead the movement in favor of munic- ipal reform and honest government. It gives us great pleasure to convey you this information, and we cordially express the hope that you will accept the nomination so tendered and lead in what will be a successful movement for better government in Philadelphia.” The ex-Governor stated to the com- mittee that he would reply by letter, probably within the next two days. He gaid he appreciated the kindness of the convention in selecting him, but be- yond that did not express himself. Chairman Wilhere, when asked this afternoon about the alleged ineligibility of ex-Governor Pattison to become the mayoralty candidate, was inclined to treat the matter humorously. “I think the question raised by the Republi- cans,” said Mr. Wilhere, “is a confes- sion of weakness. It certainly looks as though our Republican friends are be- coming alarmed.” Foughtto a Draw. Dixon and Griffo Combat Twenty-Five Rounds and Neither Wins—Dizon in Altoona Mon day Night. After fighting twenty-five rounds the Dixon-Griffo match at Coney Islands Saturday night was declared a draw. George Dixon, who was the favorite in the betting, was in excellent condition, whereas young Griffo was fat and look- ed weighty, but his wind was good. The first round opened up with the colored wonder as the aggressor. He led, but missed. He then swung for Griffo’s head, but the Australian duck- ed and counted hard on Dixon. From the first to the tenth round the battle was a very scientific one and well contested, both men fighting hard, but doing little damage Griffo was by far the cleverer and was more shifty on his feet than Dixon. Griffo outpointed his adversary with ease, but his blows lacked steam and did no great damage. Dixon swung very wildly at times and seemed to lose his head, his blows be- ing far off the mark in many instances. Atter the tenth round he was more careful and played chiefly for Griffo’s wind. From the fifteenth to the twenty-fifth round the fight was very tame, both be ing afraid to take chances and they gimply fought for a draw. They made matters lively in the final round, how- ever, and the referee declared the fight a draw amid great applause. Qutside of Dixon's swollen eye, neither showed any signs of punish- ment and both were comparatively fresh when the fight ended. Personally-Conducted Tours via FPenn- sylvania Railroad. It is at this season of the year that people's thoughts turn 10 some method by which the rigors of our northern winter climate may be escaped, and a trip to the “Land of Flowers,” if only for a short time, offers the easiest solu- tion of the question. In order to give the public an op- portunity to visit Florida at a very reasonable cost, the Pennsylvania Rail- road Company has arranged for a series of toursto Jacksonville, and the well-earned reputation acquired by that company for the superiority of its personally-conducted tours will be maintained for this year's series. Since the .system of personally-conducted tours inangurated by that company has been in effect, none but words of com- mendation have been received. Itsun- excelled train service, experienced Tourist Agents and Chaperons, and above all, ite moderate charges, leave nothing to be desired. The tours to Jacksonville, allowing two weeks’ stay in Florida, will leave New York and Philadelphia on Jan- nary 29, February 12 and 26, and March 12 and 26, 1895. The rate, in- cluding transportation, meals en route, and Pullman berth on special train, is $50.00 from New York, and $48.00 trom Philadelphia ; proportionate rates froma other points. For further information apply to Ticket Agents, or address Tourist Agent, 1196 Broadway, New York, or Room 411, Broad Street Station, Phila- delphia, to whom application for space should also be made.

ADDITIONAL LOCALS. ——At a public sale in Williamsport on Friday all the Evangelical churches in that conference were sold. The Esherites, who had won the church property in court, were in the minority and could not keep it up so the Dubbs- ites bought it from them at public sale.

Our WEEKLY WEATHER VIEWS rroM MR. Foster.—My last bulletin gave forecasts of the storm wave to cross the continent from 19th to 23d, and the next will reach the Pacific coast about the 24th, cross the western mountain country by close ot 25th, the great cen- tral valleys from 26th to 28th, and the eastern States about the 29th. This will be an ugly winter storm, and will be followed by a severe cold wave or blizzard. The warm wave will cross the western mountain country about the 24th, the great central valleys 26th, and the eastern States 28th. The cold wave will cross the western mountain country about the 27th, the great central valleys 29th, and the eastern States 30th. Indi- cations are favorable to an extended drought in April and May, probably of greatest extent in the northern States. I will give long range forecasts of this in my first February bulletin. This will be of great importance to farmers, and before giving a complete forecast the calculations will be carefully com- piled. A drought at that time would not very seriously damage the northern States, but in some sections of the south ! it would be ruinous.
