Speaker Fnuitco U receiving high pralso from the press, irrespective of jmrly, for tlio very nblo mid satiafno tory in miner in which ho performed his arduous duties, lie never lost con trol of tho House, nnit his decisions wero fair and generally right, lie tie Rervoi nil that is said of him. Ht-Sonator Simon Cameron visited Governor I'attisou recently, and among other thing spoken of, commended him for the success of his ndminislration nnd the discretion employed in the exorciso oi tho veto power. To tho credit of tho prccnt legisla ture bo it said, that the last hours of its session wero not spent in a drunken debauch, which is more than can bo Baid cf many past legislatures. No li quor was allowed in tho retiring rooms of either branch, and tho last breath of the legular session was a sober one. An enterprising railroad in Ohio, the Cleveland, Akron nnd Columbus rail way, has made n new departure in its timetables, by adopting a system which hn.s been approved of, but not ventured upon by many railway companies in tho country. On its time cards tho hours are numbered from one up to twenty four, the latter being midnight. The coufusion which so often exists between the A. 1H. and P.M. hours is thus avoid ed. Thus one train arrives in Cleve land at !:!I0 and one departs from Columbus at 17 o'clock. Tliisroad also carries upon its morning trains wcitlier signals, devised and set by tho Ohio Meteorological Uure.ni, from predic tions furnished by tho United States Weather Service. It is believed to be the first railroad in tho country, if not in tho world, to adopt either of these schemes. Republican organs are criticising the Governor for calling an extra session of the Legislature, on tho ground of the great expenso to tho State. They forget that the Governor is simply per forming his duty in compelling the Legislature to do" that which is clearly pointed out by tho constitution, name ly, that once in ten years the State shall bo apportioned into legislative, congressional and judicial districts. Tho failure to do this at tho regular session was not tho fault of tho Dem ocrats, but of tho Republican Senate which would not agree thai fair appor tionments should be made, based on tho vote of tho State, and preferred tho present apportionment which is more favorablo to theiu than a new ouo will probably bo. If tho Gover nor had not called an extra session these same organs would now bo mak ing capital out of his failure to do bo. So it goes. Tho divorce busineso has received a sovero shock at tho hands of Judge Thayer of Philadelphia, who has just set aside a decree in tho case of Major Nickerson on tho ground that ho ob tained a divorce by fraud and imposi tion on the court. The laws of Penn sylvania permit an application for di vorce when either a husband or wife wilfully deserts the other for a period of two years. In this ease Nickerson sent his wife to Europe, wroto to her for a time and sent her money. When ho ceased writing to her he "continued to send money to tho daughter who was with her mother. At the expira tion of two years he applied for a di vorce, alleging that his wife had deserted him. He wont through tho usual form before a commissioner to tako testimony! proved that his wife had not lived with him for tho two years, and obtained a decree of separa tion. It was not until this stage of the case was reached that Mrs. Nickerson had any knowledge of tho proceedings, nnd she" was greatly shocked to learn that she was no longer tho wife of her husband. Tn tho mean fund, Nicker son had married another woman. The friends of Mrs. Nickerson took tho matter up, nnd after a full investigation tho court has set aside the proceedings and annulled tho decree. This puts Nickerson in a very undesirable plight and at latest reports ho has skipped to Canada with No. 2. When tho laws of tho state aro in such a condition that such a fraud can bo perpetrated under the eyes of the court, it is high tirao for a revision. Judge Thayer points out tho defects of tho law and makes some wholesome suggestions. Tho next legislature should overhaul tho subject and enact a law that will pre vent such frauds in tho future. THAT $75,00. Tho C.itawissa Item in commenting upon our u'luurk on tho payment of $7 J.UJ) oiit of the county treasury for paving the ui.d'oal the Paper mill from ftiv. save, iti.it it is "informed by lion. K. I.. iimin that the money (?7.,U'J was 111 J t j him, and less $1-1,00 (i.'i.UJ lur ! la-.'.iuicnts furnished the men on tiie cvoMiuir of tho lire, and 89,00 iu ha'j-U of William Ueikheimer for fuitiu-r lufroshments, which have not been furnished and which he has been ordered to refund for deposit with the halauce) placed to tho credit of tho Catawissa Fire Department in the Ca tawissa Deposit Rank." Wo have no special objection to Catawissa's taking all she can get out of tho county for tho bonelit of her fire department, but tho payment of this monoy is a bad precedent to estab lish, and ought not to boallowed. If the county pay $75 for saving abridge worth perhaps $1000, from lire, how much would it bo expected to pay tho Uloomsburg lire department for saving cither tho Court House or jail in caso of liro'f Uloomsbnrg has a ro. gularly organized iiro department of three chartered companies, and tliu town has invested several thousand dol lars in apparatus, without asking tho county to contribute a cent towards tho protection of its property. If Catawissa has a lire department whsn was it organized, and who is an. thorized to expend this money for tho benefit of that department f It seems however that all tho money was not appropriated to the "fire department." fourteen dollars of it was placed in the hands of a saloon keeper, for "refresh, inonts" furnished tho men. As the fire occurred just after supper time these "refreshments" were undoubtedly of a liquid form, but tho appropriation was too largo for the occassion, nnd so a portion of it is to bo refunded. The explanation given by the Item furnish es no oxcuso for this unwarranted pay. incut by tho county, and tho commis sioners should be held' accountable for it. DUKES KILLED. James Nutt, son of Captain Nutt who wns shot by N. L. Dukes in Unlontowii, shot and killed Dukes on the street in that town on Wednesday evening. It is said Nutt has been brooding over his father's death, nnd had fully determined to slay his fath er's murderer. Dukes died "immediate' ly,four shots taking effect. An honest jury on Dukes' trial would have pre vented this tragedy by hanging the villain. Randall and the Speakership. The Pittsburg I'ost, one of tho stuunchest advocates of Samuel J. Randall's candidacy for tho speaker ship, recently published tho following editorial : Now wo venture the statement on good authority, careful observation nnd extended inquiry, that Mr. Knu dall has, at tins time, in the Southern States from thirty to forty supporters for the speakership among tliu mem bers elect, and in the Northern States from sixty to seventy supporters. Were tlio caucus held to day ho would go into it with not less than 100 votes, and this is ample to nominate. I', will bo increased between this timo and tho first Monday of Decem ber by tho sound sense ol tho peoplo operating on their representatives. Nothing is said to bo Bure in love, war nnd politics, but the re-election ol Samuel J, Randall as Speaker is one of those things that come mighty close to certainty about as close as any future event can be reckoned. The Extra Session The following is tho Governor's mes sage convening the Legislature in extra session : IlAiiitisiiriiii, June (!. To the ak and the I'ouse of Rtpresentuticta of the Conwiowcnltt of I'ennvjlt'a iiki ( v.sr u:if.s : iy v'uliie of the authority vested in mc by (he constitu tion, 1 hereby convene you iu extraor dinary session ou Thursday, theseveuth day of June, Anno Domini ono thous and eight hundred and eighty-three, at twelve o'clock noon of that day. In the judgment of the executive such an extraordinary occasion has arisen as to require tho e'xerciso of this power. Tho constitution commands tho general ns semblp immediately after each United States decennial census to apportion the state into senatorial and represen tative districts. This imperative man date has not been obeyed. Uy tho joint rules of your houses tho time has gone by when any bills disclosing a purposo to perform this duty can be presented to mo for approval. The obligation is imposed upon tho governor to "takocaro that the laws bo faithfully executed,'' I deem it my duty, therefore, to exhaust my lawful author ity to correct tho grave default of tho legislature. Equally important and necessary, though not so specifically commanded by law, is tho duty of the assembly to apportion the Htato into congressional and judicial districts. I, therefore, designate tho apportionment of tho state into senatorial, representa tive, congressional aud judicial dis tricts as subjects for legislative consi deration. " Tho right of the people to fair, just and lawful representation iu the legis lative councils of the state aud Union is secured by the constitution, aud must not bo denied. Tho importance of tho right cannot bo over-estimated. It is tho essential principle of our form of government. It underlies all our politi cal rights. It is to bo jealously guard ed, carefully conserved and faithfully carried out. The time is peculiarly fitting for the passago of bills to secure a fair, just, equitable and non-partisan apportion ment of the state. "Tho two houses of tho assembly are composed of majori ties of different party alliliations. A greater degree of fairness is to be ex pected from such a condition of tho legislative body than if it was domi nated in both branches by majorities of the samo party convictions. Each house will prove a check upon the other in any attempt to obtain unfair advan tages. Mutual concessions and a spirit of conciliation ought to result in an ad justment of tho differences of the two houses and the prompt passage of bills fair in spirit, giving just representation to tho people in all sections of the state. In addressing ourselves to these sub jects, we must keep constantly in view tho guide provided iu the constitution directing that tho legislative districts shall bo "composed of compact nnd con tiguous distreits as nearly equal in population as may be." This is a plain nnd simple rule, established for our guidanco by tho fundamental law. To follow it in its spirit will result in just conclusions. Thero ought not to be any doubt of tho legislature speedily agreeing upon the subjects designated for their consideration. Itis their duty to agree. A further delay in this mat ter will result in at least six years of tho decade elapsing without the appor tionment required by law being made. To prevent Biich an indefensible condi tion of affairs I havo dcomed it obliga tory upon mo to proclaim this call for an extraordinary session. I have selected a tirao for your assembling immediately succeeding tho day of adjournment of your regular session, so as not to neoes siato your recall after you had dispersed to your homes. In this way the ox penso of the session will be lessoned as tho machinery for tho conduct of busi ness of tho assembly is ready for use. I reluctantly convene tho legislature at this season of tho year. Nothing but a sense of imperativoduty impels mo to adopt this course. I hope, however, in a few days you will have concluded your labors to tho satisfaction of the people, aud having disohaiged your constitutional duties will bo able to re turn again to your families and homes. Roiii'.itr E. PA-rnsox. In obedience to tho call tho legisla ture met on Thursday at 12 o'clock, and after tho introduction of several apportionment bills adjourned until Juno 10th. There wa'i considerable discussion nbout tho pay during tho vacation, but thero is no doubt thai. every member will draw his ten dollars a day from tho stato whilo ho is at homo attending to his private affairs. Lynoh Law in the West. The Uarber Brothers wero taken from jail by a mob last Friday night at Wavcrly, Iowa, and hung to a tree. The mob was composed of mon from Fayetto county, and was led by a brothor of Deputy Sheriff Sheppard, who was killed by the Uarber brothers last fall at Wost Union. Tho Sheriff refused to give up the keys of tho jail, whereupon tho mob battered down tho doors with sledgo hammers. After a short delay Inside, thelynohers brought tho criminals out, with ropes tied around their necks. Neither of them flinched a particle and thoy did not even plead for meroy nt any stage of tlio proceedings. THE COLUMBIAN AND Judno Forakcr has been nomlnnted by tho Republicans for Governor of Ohio A Union ofOoal Companies A dispatch from Philadelphia an nounces that an agrecmeutbctwooii tho nmadelpliia ami Heading, tho JNow Jersey Central, nnd tho Delnwaro Lack- awaiuia and Weitcrn .Railroads regard ing the coal combinations has been made.' It is said that these roads con trol more than one-half of the entire anthracite coal production, and that the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania coal companies nave agreed to enter tho combination. Under this agree ment it is claimed that more than ill),- 000,000 tons of coal will bo mined nnd marketed nt circular rates this year. A meeting of representatives of tho roads interested iu tho combination will be held, it is said, some timo next mouth to determine tliu winter schedulo of prices. The dispatch also says s "The agreement between tho Reading Rail road Company, as lessee of tho Jersey Central Railroad Company, nnd the Lehigh Nnvigation Company has beou signed by tho presidents of both these companies, and is now in New l ork awaiting the signature of the Jersoy Cential Railroad President. An Important Bill. sakkty in cask or nun roil i;iii'i.iivr..s AND OTIICUS. All important bill for safety in case of Iiro of persons employed iu factories and oilier i)iiiluiii"s ueediim lire es capes lias been signed by tho governor, it having passed both branches of the legislature. Tho bill prescribes that nil buildings needing fire escapes shall, in addition, have securely fastened to six window heads chains ten feet long, to which shall be attached l hick ropes of Htillicient length to roach to the ground. The ropes are to be placed on the wind w tilK and must be ac cessible to an) body iu the building. Motels must provide everv room above the second story with such chains and ropes. Failure to comply with these regulations renders the oltemler liable to a fine of $300, and to damages aris ing troin loss ot life or limb in caso ot fire. The third section of the act pre scribes that "tenants or lessees of any building used for tho purposo of manufac turing, hotel, boarding house, seminary or other building which is required by law to havo fire escapes attached, and to which such lire escapes havo not been erected, after giving tho landlord or his agent thirty days notice to erect suitable tire escapes, and on his refusal or neglect to erect tho same within the timo specified and in said notice, may erect and maintain suitable and legal firo escapes, and collcctthc cost of crec tiou and tnalutninauco from the land lord or his agent in an action the same as Tor debt, or may set oil the cost thereof against rent then due or theio- after coming due." Biot at Wilkesbarre Races While the race between Tnukott. Echo and Thorn was in progress at L;c l'arK, last a riday atternoon, a distur bance occurred at a gambling booth, on tho grounds winch camo very near ending in a general riot. Constable Tammany, assisted by three other men, made an attempt to arrest tho gamblers ana seize the money m their possession, when a fierce riot ensued. The constables used their clubs with terrible effect over the heads of tho gamblers and beat them in a shameful manner. As a matter of self-defenso tho gamblers pulled out their revolvers and threatened to shoot tho constables if they did not desist. In tho meantime the large number of spectators who crowded the main stand left their seats and hastened to the scene of the disturbance, aud a scene of the wildest coufusion ensued. Ladies cried with fear , and the men, who now formed a howling mob, cried out at tho lop of their voices that Tammany and his followers should bo lynched. in tho midst ot the confusion a revol ver was discharged, and tho crowd, thinking it was the work of tho con stables, called loudly "Ropes to hang them 1" and ono man actually went in pursuit of a piece of hemp. Tho offi cers of the law put iu an appearance and the crowd began' to scatter, those having revolvers in their hands placing them back in their pockets, but still swearing vengeance against the Tam manyites. The authorities nt oneo ordered the arrest of the constable:: for attempting to create a riot and making arrests for which they had no legal authority. The gamblers wero released and tho races proceeded. Had not the olhcers of the law put in an appearance just when they did it is behoved that Tammany wouiu havo been shot, as tho crowd wero in sympathy with the gam blers, whose names aro John S. Morrison, II. Mitchell, A. II. Uecker, II. Uauser and Harry Hamil ton. Uauscr was terribly boatcn over tho head with a club in the hands of Tammany while defeuding his money bags. Twelve hundred dollars nt the money Is said to be missing. Tammany and his party wero arraigned before Alderman Parsons. Abdication of the Queen. muioits riiATiiKit MAJusrv wu.t. vauati: Tin; uiirnsuTiiiioNi:. For soino timo thero havo been re- ports in circulation as to tho precarious condition of tho health of Queen Vio- tonn, but some of them hnve been de nied. It would appear, however, thero must bo soino truth iu them. Tho Washington Sunday Jferald says : A representative of ono of tho pro minent European powers tolls us that a verv serious event isimixmilinrrin V.nn. laud, which is the abdication of tho Queen, lho reasons given for this most unexpected course aro Her Majes ty's fast failing health and I increasing unwillingness and sometimes nu inabi lity on her part to perform tho duties incident to government. For somo years tho Queen has been a mild bo liover in Spiritualism. Shu thought tho spirit of her dead husband used to assist her in working out tho questions which perplexed nnd sometimes annoy ed her. Since tho death of her fnvnritn nor. v.tnt, John Rrown, she has been very much depressed, and ti natty it was nec essary to removu her to Ualmoral, where soino of her lmnniiat.

It was telegraphed from London, by tho embassador of a great power, to his sovereign that thoabdloa tiou of the Qneen of England was im pending, and would probably occur DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBDRG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. very soon. From any other than this j roltable sourco I should doubt It. the Queen has clung to tho vis'tblo endow- j incuts of tho throne with such tenacity that she must havo greatly changed beforo tho thought wns bearable, nt tlio breakdown of her health has been followed by iiiclnnoholta of tho most I pronounced type. It seems not be generally known that tho troublo of tho Queen's knee comes from n largo ulcer, of u scrofulous nnd cancerous nature, that has formed under tho kneo mint, nnd in spite of nil that enn bo done, is eating its way through sinew and nerve to tho bone, and her condition is very serious indeed.
