Tho coroner's jury in tho Itoso Am
bler case in Connecticut have rendered
a verdict that tho deceased camo to her
death by being choked by somo person
unknown, but that tho conduct of Wil
liam Lowis her lover, was suspicious.
Now that tho Grand Jury has recom
mended that tho drainago of the now
jail bo referred to a competent engi
neer, and a drain bo made as soon as
possible, there is nothing for tho com
missioners to do, but to promptly com
ply with this recommendation. This
course was suggested months ago by
tho Coi.u.miiian, and wo believe a sur
vey was made in tho spring, aud then
tho matter dropped. Tho county has
about SGO.OOO invested in the now jail,
and this is too largo a sum to bo thrown
away by abandoning tho building, if
thero is any way of avoiding it. Tho
expenditure of $1000 or even $5000
should bo made, if so inuch is necessary
to put it in a habitablo condition. If
it cannot be drained at all tho sooner
this is determined tho better. If it can
bo drained it should bo done at once.
According to a report in tho Wil
Hamsport JireaJcfaat Table, J. O. Par
ker, the recent absconding partner of
B. S. Bently, Esq., of that place, has
been seen in Paris.
A gentleman well acquainted in Wil
liamsport, who is conuected with a
largo firm in ono of the eastern cities,
and who makes frequent trips to tho
old country, says that in his recent visit
to Paris ho saw a couplo leisurely
strolling through tho Faubourgh St.
Germain. His attention was attracted
to them from tho fact that they wero
conversing in English, and, with the
natural pleasure of hearing his native
tonguo spoken in a foreign country, ho
followed them, and passed by them,
when to his great surprise ho discover
ed that thoy were nouo other than J.
O. Parker and Miss Tremaine, tho
runaway couple from Wilffarasport.
Observing that thoy seem to bo rccog
nizoJ, Parker atonco called a carriago
and tho two wero driven quickly away.
Tho gentleman failed to learn anything
further concerning them.

An Honest Admission.
From tho Philadelphia Telegrapli (lnd. rep.)
Admitted at last ! A stalwart news
paper defender of the republican ob
structionists in tho stato senate says ;
"It is not the fault of tho democrats
that tho apportionmentbillshavefailed.
No republican will lay that political
crimo at their door." That is to say, tho
failuro to pass apportionments is a po
litical crimo and one for which tho de
mocrats aro not responsible. Then

PETITION TOE ALASKA.
At a meeting of the Woman's Pres
byterial Home Missionary Society,Prcs
bytcry of Northumberland, held in
Danville, Pa., last Spring, it was resolv
ed to petition tho representatives from
tho Congressional districts included
within the limits of tho Frtsbytery, to
tako somo action in behalf of long neg
lected Alaska. Soveral bills havo beeu
introduced into Congress, providing for
a civil government in mis uisiuni region,
but thus far all that Congress has seem
ed to bo ablo to do, was to listen to a
second reading of tho bills and order
them printed, in tno meantime widow
burning, torturo of witches, slavery of
children, infanticide, and other horrible
practices of barbarous lands, havo
been going on in this United States
possession, which has had no govern
ment, and no administration of justice
except that which tho pioneer mission
aries havo been ablo to exercise Tho
Iudians of Alaska aro quick aud eager
to learn. Thoy beg for teachers, and
it ia plainly tho duty of tho government
to give them tno advantages ot indus
trial schools liko thoso of which tho
Carlislo Training School is a shining
example.
Committees havo beou appointed to
ciroulato the petition in this town,
and it is hoped that what over help
can bo afforded a noblo causo by tho
signature of our professional and uusl
ness men will bo promptly given
Tho following is tho text of tho po
titiou :
To the House of Ilepresentatioes of
the Unxted States.
Your petitioners, tho citizens of
Bloomsburg and vicinity, in tho stato
of Pennsylvania, respectfully request
that your honorable body will pass n

that all surplus In excess of tho immo

Tim special significance and applica
tion of this declaration will bo more
fully understood upon a short rovlow
of tho Humes law enacted by tho Le
gislature at tho regular session of 1883,
and signed by Gov Pattison.
Prior to tho passago of that law the
speculation in stato funds had been for
many years tho subject of noisome
scatidal'in this commonwealth and tho
management of tho treasury had been
tho objectivo point of tho politicians
who wanted to uso its moneys for them
selves and their friends by having them
deposited in banks whero thoy would
do them most good. Tho cntiro fi
nancial system of the Stato was so
manipulated as to accumulate enor
mous balances of from two to fivo mil
lion dollars in the Stato Treasury,
which thoso who wero in control would
in turn loan out, without security, to tho
banks designated by tho politicians,
who would in turn obtain its uso or in
terest for it from tho institutions which
thoy thus assisted to the pcoplo's mon
ey. Tho Humes bill was as follows, and
it was intended, as its provisions clear
ly bIiow, to havo all moneys that were
lying idlo in the favored banks invest
ed in interest bearing securities, so that
tho Stale and not the banks and politi
cians would have the benefit of this
enormous fund :

The Same Old Song.
TO A Tt'.NT. THAT IS OUT OF IIAUMONY
WITH FACTS ANI F10U11ES.
Whenover tho republican politicians
in tho stato aro driven into a cornor
thoy hold up their hands and cry mercy,
with tho plea that their party has made
a wonderful reduction of tho state debt
mid repealed tho tax on real estate.
Now tliat thoy aro in an ugly holo
with tho record of their candidates,
Nilos aud Liveoy, as opponents of tho
Humes act which directs tlio investment
of tho Sinking Fund in Stato or United
States bonds, thoy sing again tho samo
old song of tho roductiou of tho stato
debt and tho repeal of certain taxes.
But this ancient republican lullaby will
hardly soothe oven babes and sucklings
in tho preteut campaign of facts mid
figures.
Let us examine this claim of a reduc
tion of tho stato debt. Duiing tho
THE COLUMBIAN AND
twenty-two years of republican rulo in
this stato tho debt reduction has
amounted to 818,1 1-1,001.22. In nddl
lion a war debt of $3,000,000 has been
paid and tho soldiers' orphans havo
been educated nt nn expense ot sy.aria,-
09"i. l7. Tho sum of those payments
is !jna,iiuii,7r)'j.uiJ. tho totnl amount
of interest paid on tho Btato debt from
1801 (when the republicans camo Into
power) until 1 882, both years inclusive,
was 1537,1 flO.-l l)-l 07. Add tills stun
to tho total of tho payments on tho
principal of tho debt tho war debt and
tho soldiers' orphan schools, ns an ng
gregato of $05,817,2') I. I t and shown.
AH other payments at tho treasury ilur
iug that period of twenty-two years
wero for the ordinary current expenses
ol tlio stato government.
But tho receipts at tho treasury, ex
clusive of loans, during that period
we io

Deduct abovo nggregnto w,8liy.i.4l
Leaving tor ordinary expenses, ,..G8,507,76).10
When tho republicans took tho gov
orument of tho stato out of the hands ol
tho democrats in 18G1 tho totat pay
mcnts at tho treasury for ordinary ex
penses amounted to but $1,030,828.01
per year. Uenco if tho republicans had
not expended a greater sum per annum
than tho democrats in conducting the
government of tho slate, in twenty-two
years their total expenditures would
havo been just 22 times $1,030,828.01,
or $22,810,230.08. But tho official re
ports of tho Auditor General show
that tho extraordinary sum of $08,507,-
00.10 was paid out at tho treasury for
ominary expenditures, or $15,097,530.
02 more than tho government would
have cost at tho democratio rato of ex
penditure in 1800.
Tlio Btato dcbtisiiow$10,85547S3.28.
If tho republican party had adminis
tered the stato government as econom
ically as tho democrats did in 1800,
tho wholo of tho stato debt would havo
been paid out of tho taxes collected
from tho pcoplo in tho last twenty years
and $25,811,752.77 would havo re
mained ns a surplus.
Thcso figures aro taken from the
official records aud cannot be disputed
They show precisely how tho repub
licans have been reducing tho stato
debt. Patriot.
Is John MoGinnis Playing Off?
From tho Philadelphia ltecord.
1 ho law making murder a capital
crime in Pennsylvania should either be
repealed or carried into cltect with such
duo celerity and certainty as not to bo
1.1. -.1 ..f !. 1!. ' .!.. -f
muuuu oi us qnuuiy us a preventive oi
crime. Alter a murder is proven be
yond doubt and scnlenco imposed tho
way to tho gallows has so many bends
and turns nnd dubious resting places
that it seems almost as difficult to hang
a convicted man as to convict a sus
pected one. John McGinnis, who lias
just received from the governor a nine
ty day reprieve m order to determine
whether or not ho is a crazy man,
committed an unprovoked and brutal
murder, September 30, 1881. Ho kill
ed ono woman and tried to kill anoth
er. Oil his trial his guilt was brought
home to him beyond a shadow of doubt.
In tho past two years every devic3 in
tended for the protection of innocence,
but used to balk the courso of justice,has
been exhausted to keep the breath of lifo
in this guilty wretch. His lastdodge,
now that all the sinuosities of the law
havo failed to open for him a loophole
of escape, is to feign insanity. That his
insanity is feigned wo aro well advised;
but sympathetic doctors and lawyers
havo so, prevailed upon tho executive
authority that tho criminal has secured
a reprieve pending a medical examina
tion. In tho interest of justice there
should be no more fooling in this affair
or any other of tho kind. As tho
board of pardons and tho governor
should be thoroughly informed in every
such case, why should not tho board of
lunacy bo called iu to give an authori
tative opinion before delay is secured ?
A murderer now takes his chances be
foro a jury to determine his guilt ; be
fo o the supremo court to determine tho
regularity of tho trial ; before tho board
of pardons and the governor to consi
der how tho quality of mercy may be
strained to his advantage, and MoGin
nis has caried his caso ono step far
ther. Let tho board of lunacy look
after him.
A Guilty Lover's Crime,
A WKON(IBI) IIUSIIAND KNOCK HI) FItOM A
.MOVING TRAIN WITH A COUF-I.INO-l'IN.
A dispatch from Catawissa dated
September 29th, gives the following ac
count of a crimo :
William Brobst was brought to this
place to-day to havo an ugly wound in
his head dressed. Tho wound was
caused by Brobst being knocked off a
train by -Daniel Mensinger last night.
Brobst is a young farmer and has an
attractivo wife aud one child and lives
six miles from llingtown. A nico farm
was left thu couplo by tho wife s father
aud she, thinking this fact left her frco
to do as she pleased, fell in lovo with
a young farmer named Daniel Mensin
ger and no efforts wero made to con
ceal their intrigue from the husband or
the neighbors. The husband was fin
ally induced to havo Mensinger arrested,
but tho caso was settled by Mensinger
taking an oath and giving bonds not to
further disturb tho happiness of the
Brobst family.
lint oaths or bonds could not cool
tho lovo of either Mensinger or tho
taitiiicss wite, and last night .Mensinger
induced the forgiving husband to ac
company him to llraudonvillo on a
freight train. Brobst says tiiat when
the train had got fairly into a deep,
narrow and dangerous cut a few miles
north of Ringtown, Mensinger, with
out tho least warning, struck Brobit on
tho head with a coupling-pin nud kuock
cd him off tho cars. Brobst is ti very
activo man and saved himself from get
ting under the train by clutching tho
weeds growing on tho sido of tlio cut
and got off with tho cut on his head
and a few bruises. A wairant has been
issued for Mensinger, but ho has not
yet been lound.

How Watch Cases aro Mado.
In buying a silver watch case great caro
should be taken tu eecuro ono that Is soliil
fcllver throughout. Tlio cap of most cheap
silver cases is mado of a composition know j
as nlbatu, which is n very poor substitute
for kllvvr, ns it tiiriu black iu n short time.
Tliu backs of such cases nro mado much
thinner than thoso of an nil silver caso,
Ik ing robbed In onlcr to mako tho cap
thicker nnd get in as much ns posslblo of
tlio cheap metal. Another important point
in neilvcr caso is tho joints or hinges, whicji
should bo mado of gold. Thoso of most
cheap cases nro mado of 6ilver, which is
not n suitablo metal for that purjioso. In
a brief period it unrps, bends and spread
apart, allowing tho backs to becomo looso
upon tho caso and admitting tlio dust nnd
till t that accunimiilnto in tho pocket, Tho
Keystone Silver Watch Cases nro only raado
with silver caps and gold joints.
