Beaver, Pit.„ Sept. 10, ISTS,
Ax arrangement has been perfect
ed, by persona competent to make it,
to consolidate the Aaaus and the
Radical. After this week, therefore.
neither of the papers named will be
published separately. The consoli
dated paper will be called " The Bea
ver Argus and Radical," and the
business will be conducted in the c
name of the "Beaver Printing Com- I
pa.ny." The new paper will be pub
lished In Col. Quay's building, and
for the time being, will take the form
of the present Radical. If it is
thought best when the advertise
ments now running In both papers
are somewhat "weeded out," to
change to the present Alunta form ,
.the change will be made. All con
tracts, whether for subscription or ad
vertising, made previously by either
the ARGus or the Radical, will be
filled by the Beaver Printing Com
pany; and persons who have hereto
fore been taking both papers, will in
the future, be furnished with but one
copy, and credit given them on the
nevi books equal to the amount paid
by them in advance on both of the
old papers. For the present the
lion. J. S. Ratan will have charge
of the political department of th e
new paper, and J. Weyand will be
its business manager.
PERsoti A tax, we are nut alarmed
in the least, but Treasurer Spinner
warns the public that there is a coun
terfeit fig e hundred dollar legal ten
der note afloat which almost defies
detection by any one. It is reported
too that Mr. Spinner says that the
whole issue—thirty-five Millions will
have to be called in—in order to
checkmate the counterfeiters and
make their imitation worthless.
HoN. J. DE PrY DAVIS, has for
three years past represented Berks
county in the Senate of this State.
He was also one of the commission
ers to the Vienna Exposition. tie
has been a candidate nefore his party
this summer for a renomination to
the Senate, but last week finding the
tide strongly against him, he with
drew and Daniel Ermentrolit was
unanimously nominated in Davis'
stead. Mr. Davis blames Hon. Hies
ter Clymer for "setting things up"
against him, and in his letter of
withdrawal hits that distinguished
politician .a vigorous slap in the face,
and tells him that he has been Inter
tering in matters which did not con
cern him. The Democracy seem to
be in earnest in "weeding out" their
thrifty members in this State at least
A SERIOUS defalcation is reported
from Springfield, Illinois. Colonel
John T. Harper, 'United States Col
lector of Internal Revenue for that
district, has been discovered to be a
defaulter to the Government in a
sum variously estimated at from
-$50,000 to $300,000. It appears that
Harper wrote out his resignation last
Friday, and left, it with his chief
clerk, to be forwarded to the author
ities at Washington, and then left for
parts unknown. He is said to have
lost heavily in grain and mad estate
speculations in Chicago. Defalca
tions on the part of public officers are
growing more common every day,
and we very much fear that an hon
est official will soon be the exception
and not the rule, in this country of
ours.
THE eastern papers praise the ac
tibn of the Democracy of this State
in so unequivocally condemning the
salary grab.
The Tribune noting the rebuke to
Congressman Speer well says:
"This is the only thing in the history
of this business in connection with po-
I itiml Conventions that lodks at all like
business. For the most part Conven
tions have resolved in a very loose gen
eral way that the Salary Grab was dis
honest and dishonorable, and that Its
supporters were unworthy of public con
tidence; but no Convention before this
one at Wilkesbarre has fairly confronted
it with the necessity of rebuking a prom
inent and trusted official staring it in the
fate and taken bold of it in good honest
earnest. The Pennhylvania Democracy,
whatever else they have done, have in
this matter acted courageously and hon
orably, and set a good example for their
party in other States. It is cheap and.
easy to pass resolutions. These people
bars done more than that. They have
had a row about it, and taken one of
their own representatives by the ear and
led him out. To all other convention
and parties It may be said, 'Go and do
likewise.' "
Du. BELL, of Louisville, Ken
tucky, who has bad much experience
in the treatment ofcholera, reiterates
a statement made by him not long
since, that cholera poison produced at
this surface of the ground does 'not
rise to the third or second story of a
good noose. He says emphatically
that "sleepers who do all their sleep
ing after sunset in the second stories
of good houses or In the third stories
are perfectly exempt from cholera,
although every lodger in the lower
story may die with the disease. To
this I do not know a Single exception
in this city during the past forty
years, and in that time there has been
exhibited here every phase of the
disease that has ever been seen in any
temperate climate. f have not at
tempted to devise sanitary regula
tions for Scotland; Glasgow and Ed.
inburg have hygienists of their own,
who, years ago, pointed out the hor
rible, filthy, undrained condition of
the upper flats in those cities. We
have nothing like them here in the
\Vest. But these are not exceptions
to the law that I have announced.
It is these , upper flats that are excep
tional; their revelations are proofs of
the integrity of the law. A sleeper
at night, in the lower story of a
house, no matter how clean, dry and
salubrious the house and ground
may be, is not perfectly exempt from
cholera, becaese the night wind may
bring, from a contiguous spot, the ma
larial poison; but a sleeper who con
fines his night sleeping to the third
story of a perfectly clean and dry
house is entirely exempt from any
possibility of cholera or any kindred
disease. To this there has never been
a single exception in this city, nor in
any other place of which I have ever
heard." ... •

this subject?

. THE Anew York &n seems to think
that Senator Carpenter will not be
much damaged, even if the allega
tions against him are true, and sug
gests that his offence 'shot one which
is popularly condemned. The Sun
is more than half right. The people
generally are not inclined, "these lat
ter days," to look with harshness up
on the prominent man who imbibes
freely, and has plenty of female
"friends." In fact they rather ad
mire the "statesman" who has an in

Antis and Attars, the two United
States Senators from Mississippi are
both Republicans, and.at the present
time are rival candidates for the Gov
ernorship of their State. Ames will
get the great bulk of the colored vote,
while his opponent expects to receive
nearly all of the white vote of the
State. The contest between these
=en is bitter, and their respective
friends have little or no love for each
other. The result will be close with
the chances in favor of Ames, who it
will be remembered is General But
er's son-in-law.

Tim country is electrified by the
assertion, that ex-guerilla Mosby
does not intend to take any part in
the political campaign in Virginia;
as the nominations on either side do
not suit him. No doubt both parties
were paralyzed with an agony of
doubt until the fastidious cut-throat
had declared his intentions. And
while each side mourns with a grief
that is inexpressible at the stony
heartedneas of the midnight maraud
er who will not decide the fate of the
campaign at once by taking sides.
the thought must be "a silver lining
to the cloud" of Radical and Conser
vative, that they will be permitted to
fight it out in their own way with
out the tremendous weight of his
support to contend against in the
ranks of the opposite party.
THE latest news from Massachu
setts is that Butter will be beaten to
day for the Gubernatorial nomination
in that State. The Springfield Re
publican, good authority by the way,
claimed on last Saturday to have re
turns from 742 delegates, nearly
three-fourths of the whole number to
the Worcester Convention, divided
as follows: 'Washburn, 394; Butler,
319; doubtful and contested, 29.
There are 359 delegates yet to be
elected, of whom 45 come from four
western counties, 54 from Worcester
county, and 258 from the eastern pare
of the State, 62 each from Essex and
Middlesex counties, the former of
which is ohe of Butler's strongholds,
Of 101 delegates to come from the
western part of the State the Repub.'
lican estimates that Washburn will
have nearly three-fourths, and of the
remaining 258 about 125. As Wash
bUrn has now - a clear majority of 46,
giving Butler every doubtful vote,
the Republican considers him sure of
100 majority In the Convention, but
it is quite likely to be 150, and may
rise to 200. Tale lo god
if it only proves to hold fast, Massa
chusetts will have avoided the dis
grace which Butler's nomination
would havebeen sure to have brought
upon her. - - -
SAYS the Tribunm When we come
to consider :he amounts paid to the
different members of the royal fami
ly of England as annuities out of the
Consolidated Fund, we begin to see
what an expensive luxury regality
is. Her Majesty heads the list. She
receives tsit.s,ooo a year, which is a
little over £l,OOO per diem, or about
$5,000. Even the Duchess of Teck
has £5,000 a year, or £l3 and a little
over a day, and the Duchess of Meck
lenburg Strelits £3,000 a year, or £B.
4s. sd. a day. The Prince of Wales
has £40,000 per annum, or £lO9 a
day. The whole amount paid to all
these pensioners out of the Fund is
417,566,666 13s. 4d. Add jo this
that the Queen also gets sa.ooo a
year from the. Duchy of Lancaster,
and the Prince of Wales £60,000 from
the Duchy of Cornwall. But the
English people have one comfort
which seems to be denied to us Re
publicans when we are swindled by
our magnates. It is not their own
fault; they cannot help themselves,
as we could if we stopped giving up
to party what is due to our own
pockets. Moreover, we have never
heard of the Queen or any of her
children clamoring for Back Pay.
That's where they have us again.
AN extraordinary will case is now
attracting attention in Michigan.
For twenty-five or thirty years
everybody about Troy, N. Y., nod

Wital..his wife's father died he set
tled up the estates and decamped
with the proceeds, amounting to
nearly a million dollars, leaving his
wife to provide as best she could for
four children and a young babe.
For months she suffered agonies of
suspense and grief on account of the
mysterious disappearance. Then
came the news that he was in Cana
da, and later still the deserted wife
received a newspaper from Canada
Containing an obituary of "the late
Abraham Schryver," and thencefor
ward she and her children gave him
np as dead. She struggled on and
brought them up well, and now
when she is obi and her middle-aged
children are married and settled
about her, the story of his wander
ings is revealed to them in a most
startling and dramatic manner.
Sehryver appears to have settled in
Port Huron, Mich. He was recent
ly oa his death bed, and his house
keeper allowed on one to watch over
him in his dying moments but her
self. He died. and his will, made at
midnight and witnessed by hotel
servants, left the hulk of his large
property to his supposed wife (the
housekeeper. Only $5OO was be
queathed to a daughter whom he had
adopted, and dissatisfied with
will, and knowing that the testator
had not been exactly in his right
mind, she wrote to Troy for some in
formation about Abraham.Schryver
and his relations. The Bchryver
children investigated the affair, and
will contest the will on the ground
that the instrument Is a forgery, as
shown by mistakes hecould ad have
fallen into concerning his own family

Dili/DER • NL&6 OIL CITY.
A Mini Shot from Ills Own Door
s''.;—A Mysterious Crime. •
(Wm the Oil City Derrick, September 2411
Yesterday. William Scott of Slyer
lyville, a cooper at the Imperial Re
finery, a very steady, line looking
man of about forty-two, came to 011
City to lay In some household ,pur
chases (it being. pay day). "He red
turned to his home about 9 o'clock.
As he entered the gate his wife was
talking from an upper window in the
adjoining half of the double house.
He remarked: "1 ought to have
credit for bringing home this but
ter." His wife replied that he
ought.
Thus gaily conversing, undream
ing of danger, he turned the corner
of his house, which brought him fac
ing the kitchen door, in a projecting
ell, each step bringing Win nearer his
fate.., There was no light in the
kitchen, and it was on the Shady side
of the house. As Mr. Scott stepped
In, a man rushed from behind the
door, placed the pistol close to Scott's
head and fired, the bail entering the
left eyebrow. Another shot was
quiekly fired. entering the forehead
between the brows. Mr. Scott bowed
his head and hallowed, when the as
sassin fired a third and fourth time,
the balls entering, one at the back of
the head and one back of the ear.
The villain fled. but was seen when
passing by a man to whom he was
unknown, but who says he can iden
tify the person if brought before him.
J. H. Alexander, living in the
next house, had heard a rapid foot
step on his own porch before Mr.
Scott came home, and had looked
out into his back yard for the intru
der, who wag probably the assassin,
proceeding to his lurking-place.
After the firing was heard, and
Mr. Alexander had reached the scene
of the crime, he found Mr. Scott ly
ing on the floor, his head in a pools of
blood. Raising him up, and think
ing he was dying, he asked the un
fortunate man if be knew who shot
him. Mr. Scott, very faintly and
in a gasping manner, replied: "0, I
don't know. I am shot three
times."
He was carried up stairs by Sam
uel Alexander, who lived in the ad
joining half of the house, and by Jef
ferson &leek. When he waslald on
the hed, Samuel Alexander inquired:
"Scotty, who done this?" Ho an
swered: "l3otsford done it."
This meant Botsford Chandler,
whose father is a dealer In grain at
Brady's Bend. The.. young man is
wild, and thought •to be dissolute,
reckless, dangerous, and is said to be
in the habit of carrying arms. His
photograph was given to the Chief of
Pollee.
There are plenty of rumors as to
the cause of the shooting. Mr. Scott,
when subsequently asked, while his
weeping wife stood at the foot of the
bed, if he thought Botsford did it,
said he thought so at first. The
neighbors seem to entertain no doubt
that Chandler was the assassin. The
possibility that the assailant was a
cornered thief is negatived by a very
competent witnea—a bull dog,
which does not allow strangers to
come about, but made no objection
to this man's presence; and Chandler
used to board at the house, and has
been there so often since as to excite
comment among the neighbors.
Drs. Benton and Ritchie took out
half a dozen pieces of skull bone
above the eye. The ball which pen
etrated there could not be found last
night. It was, deemed imprudent
to probe for it ,before reaction had set
in. It might have passed down
into the eye ball, ur into the brain or
have lodged in the temple or among
the bones of the skull. The sine
which entered between the eyebrows
went in about an inch from the oth
er, and came out over the left eye
brow, about half an inch from where
the other entered. The ball which
entered at the back of the head came
out back of the right ear, and clipped
out of the ear_a piece half the sire of
the snot wnicn entered
near the haseof the right ear behind,
passed downwards, and the doctor's
probe followed the direction some
six inches, and to the front of the
neck, without finding it. The phy
sicians said, about midnight, that the
symptoms were unfavorable, though
recovery was possible. The poor
man vomited profusely.
The pistol was so close to Mr. Scott
that his right arm, midway between
the shoulder and elbow, was severely
burned. The bullets were small and
conical. The Chief of Pollee obtain
ed one, which was battered.
It is said that Mrs. Scott did not
think Chandler committed the
crime. Perhaps time will reveal the
history of thi4 secret, dark and
bloody deed. Then it will be known
where suspicion and where charity
are due.

The Saratoga Saratoga Belle's Complexion.
A Saratoga letter to the Charles
town News says : A Saratoga belle
never permits the eye of a man to
behold her complexion by the light
of garish day. And this is how she
manages it : She completes her
morning toilet with her hat. This
hat nece s sitates a veil. This is a tiny
square of drab gauze, dotted infinit
esimally with black, and reaching
just to the dimple in her chin. This
headgear is assumed ostensibly for
the before-breakfast-glass of Congress
water, after which it is too much
trouble to take one's hat off for
breakfast.
After breakfast a glass of Colum
bian; then a ramble in the park, or a
drive, or pizza flirtation, during
which Charles A.ugustus wonders
thusly, sotto voce: "If her complex
ion is so dooced stunning under that
veil, what must it be without it ?"
( Poor youth) Poor Charles Angus
tu.s S He does not know what an en
hancer of his charmer's charms is a
little piece of drab gauze, spotted with
black; he doesn't know that in the se
cret privacy other chambershe fondly
calls it her "beautifyer" and her little
"love," and guards It more jealously
than she does mien her back hair.
The breakfast excuse serves for
dinner (and. indeed, the informal
two o'clock dinner at Congress Hall
obviates the necessityof much toilet);
after which a nap. in which the hat
and veil do not figure, the "little
love" probably being thankful for
the afternoon siesta, also. If its fair
owner is ambitious to Make the most
of the moments as they flee, she will
take a drive before supper—the hat
and veil again. A couple of hoursat
her toilet bring the shades of e vening
and the soft lustre of the gas under
which she sweeps, blooming as Au
rora, to the dining-room, leaving net,
precious little "beautifier" to slum
ber peacefully on the wardrobe shelf.
And that is how she does it:
THE INSATIATE BABY JANE.
Is there no escape from the clutch
of the Engaging Female? Will not
even death release it? Or.iihiiii the
suit for breach of promise attend the
funeral, mingle with the mourners
follow the body to the grave, and
then haunt the administrator and
fasten upon the estate? Originarily
it has been supposed that .a tnan's
wrongs died with him and thattaus
es of action in tort expired with the
death of the defendant. (There's a
Latin law maxim to that effect,' but'
everybody is so familiar with it that
it exhibits greater erudition to give
a free translation than to quote the
original and is less ~exasperating to
the unlearned; for which reason we
refrain from the old Roman of it.)
But itseems it is not so settled as to
the Engaging Female. The men—
the "horrid man," so to speak—loses
his ground of action when the
defendant whom he sues In an ac
tion of tort for damiiges puts orthis
corruptible, but the Engaging Fe
male, the eager and persistent Mary
Jane, doth not, in the words of one
of Freedom's own poets, "give it up
so." When once the hook in the
handle of Mary Jane's umbrella gets
a twist in the coat collar of the
thoughtless bachelor or the too-con
tiding widower, it is a twist for aye.
Time gannet mitigate or even-death
:dense it. She never lets go except
for ducats. Slowly but surely she
nips him. It's 'either scales or ducats
with Mary June. Either she snort
ens up her hold and tightens tho
twist until she makes him her own,
or she gets large — T . 3unit( of money for
the assuagement of her grief and the
damage to her umbrella, and goes
away to enjoy in—
It has been supposed, as heretefore
remarked, that tinder these circum
stances if a man died with Mary
Jane's umbrella 'handle in his coat
collar, he had fairly dodged her.
There are Mary Janes in this vale of
tears who do not so understand it.
Here is one in Brooklyn; a Mary
Jane who confided in an ex-Mayor,
who was a widower and wealthy.
She was willing to marry him. If
he was ever willing to marry her, he
changed his mind -false hearted
man—and said he would not under
any circumstances marry her, nor
pay a continental dime for the priv
ilege of not marrying her. Natural
ly enough Mary Jane tossed her
head. as all girls do whose hearts are
utterly broken, and said she'd see
about it. She waited a little, and
then, like Mariana in the mooted
grange, " 'He comein not,' (Mesabi,"
and sent a minion of the law to fetch
him. And Mary Jane alleged that
her affections had been lacerated to
the extent of about $150,000 worth.
Hod the ex-Mayor been a less obsi-.
nate or more timid man it might
have been said that he evaded the
prosecution by dying. But he was
not that sort of man. There is no
doubt that the old gentleman would
have liked to stay here a little while
longer for no other purpose than to
convince a jury of his countrymen
that $150,000 was too high a price to
put upon the affections of Mary Jane.
But he died. And now Mary Jane
comes into court and demands that
the case be reopened against the es
tate. "De mortuis nil nisi bona"
is Mary Jane's amendment of the
old maxim as she goes for the dea d
man's estate. It is to be decided
next Saturday whether the case shall
be reopened. A great many timid
bachelors and warm-hearted widow
ers await the decision with nervous
anxiety.
For, look ye, if there's to be no es
cape from Mary Jane in .this world
and no dodging her by going out of
it, she is a peril and a snare against
whom the unhappy Single Man can
not be tooearnestly or too o ft en
warned. Think of the Mary Janes
who, taking advantage of such a
situation, would make a business of
frequenting funerals and subsequent
ly suing the estates. There's no
safety a_nywberithen for the Single
sir— mural , J q l , Ira in wait far
him with winning ways and hooked
umbrellas; they harass him In life
and pounce upon his estate if they
survive him. There's no escape but
by the altar and some other Mary
Jane. It's but a choice of Mary
Janes, and the post mortem Mary
Jane is the one to be most avoided.
We have no desire to interfere with
the just process of law, or to stand
between any tearful Mary Jane and
the $150,000 that would dry her
cheeks and bind her broken heart;
but really, here's a matter of preced
ent that ought to be considered, and
in the interest of the unprotected
Single Man we protest. Avaunt,
Mary Jane! You are making it un
comfortable to live and dangerous to
die. There should be a refuge from
the breach of promise suit some
where this side of the grave—if not
this side, then in It certainly. But
you make a man's testamentary
reflections unhappy, his inventory
uncertain, his estate embarrassed
and his executors profane. Which
you ought not to do.—.N. K Tribune.
The Whim ore Wife.
An unusual story of matrimonial
misfortunes was told yesterday to
Judge Faneher, in the Supreme
Court, Chambers, in support of an
application to get possession of a
wife. According to the counsel's
story. Henry J. Saulsbury was
married in December, 1871, to the
daughtep'of (leo. H. Nash. Three
weeks after. the wedding the young
lady wetit back to her father's house,
whereshe has lived ever since, and
the husband is not permitted to see
her. Mr. Saulsbury got out a writ of
habeas corpus a few days ago, and
yesterday the case came up on his
motion for an order to have the wife
produced, which he supports by the
statement that she is under restraint
by her parents, or she would return
to him_
Counsel for the father submitted
an affidavit of the daughter, that she
had to leave her husband on account
of his inability to support her; that
she requires the care and support of
her father; that she is In precarious
health, and now, more than ever,
needs the care of her mother; that
she is under , no restraint; does not
want to see her husband, and never
Intends to live with him again. The
counsel for the relator raised a doubt
as to whether the affidavit is the vol
untary act of the wife, inasmuch as
the husband had letters from her of
about the same date as the affida
vit. full of expressions of ardent af
fection. Counsel then proposed that
the husband and a physician of
his own selection be allowed to visit
the lady and ascertain her Mato of
health, and whether she is under re•
similar. The other side would not
hear of lt, and finally Judge Fancher
selected a physician and adjourried
the case until to-day.-147: Y. Tri

neinlS In the Western Penitentiary.
• The Pittsburgh Journal of Satur
day says: Yesterday a revolt took
place in the Western Penitentiary,
which resulted in the injury of a
keeper and the probable death of a
convict. From all that can be learn
ed it appears tbat some action of Mr.
Day, the foreman of the shoemaking
department, relative to a change of
hands, gave such dissatisfaction as to
cause open rebellion among the
men. It is said that hammers and
other missiles were hurled at the
keepers, four of whom were in the
room and that the use of knives was
threatened. Mr. Day. emptied his
revolver at the ringleaders of the re.
volt and shot one man almost
through from back to breast. After
the riot was quelled Dr. Cole was
sent for and the wounds of the in
jured man were dressed. Itris be
!toyed that the convict who was shot
will die. Mr. Day, the foreman, was
considerably injured while a num
ber of the convicts are also injured
more or lees. For a time all the
keepers were in danger of their lives.
There were nearly flay men engaged
in the shop, all being at work for
Schmertz & Co., of thiscity.
