Queen Victoria will colobrato tho
fiftieth anniversary of her reign next

may abdicate in favor of tho Princo of

Tho President has appointed Ed

approval of tho politicians, but they
seem to suit tbo pcopio hrst rate.
Tho conviction of Cluvonus at Rich
mond of tho murder of his cousin, Mies
Madison, was remarkable in that thcro
was no ovidcncc,postivo or circumstan
tial, to directly connect him with tbo
crime, yet so firmly has tho bcliof in
his guilt taken hold of tho legal autho
rities that no effort of his counsel has
succeeded in securing a now trial
Another remarkablo circumstance is
that the women.of Richmond who were

Judgo Bcncdist in pronouncing tho
sentence said : "James D. Fish you
were charged by tho grand jury with
many offenses against tho laws of the

partial trial you wcro found guilty of
the misappropriation of the funds of
tho bank of which you wero president.
You wero also found guilty of making
falso entries in tho books of tho bank
whllo in that position. Tho verdict o
tho jury was that you wero guilty. Tho
evidenco clearly showed ttiat thcro
could be no doubt as to your guilt.
more shameful or moro lawless abuse
of tho powers of a president of a nat
ional bank can scarcely be imagined,
is is proper, tnerotore, tnat tit punish
mcnt should be meted out to you, and
in order that others may bo deterred
from similar offenses it is necessary
mat uio tun penalty ot tno law bo pro
nounced upon you. A merciful con
Bideration for your ago forbids a cumu

Fish did not chango color or alter
his expression when ho heard tho iudg
ment. Ho showed agitation in no way,
The sentenco is not considered severe.
Tho commutation for good conduct
will rcduco tho term to six years and

Gen. W. H. II. Davis, a tried and
truo democrat who has been appointed
Pension Agent at Philadelphia, is a
son ot tho late Uenerai John Davis
who was known yoars ago in Pennsylva
nia as a leader in tno.ueraocratlo par
ty. He held tho office of surveyor of
tho port of Phil idelphia during tho ad
ministration of President Polk. He
gavo his son a good education, starl
ing him first in the schools of tho state
and afterwards sending hin to the
Harvard University Law School. Uo
was at this latter institution when tho
Mexican war broko out. Uo dropped
his studies, enlisted as a private in
Caleb Cushing's Massachusetts regi
ment and served lo tho close of tho
fight. In 1853 his knowledge of tho
Southwestern portion of the country
gained him tho appointment of secre
tary of tho territory of Now Mexico
mid his success them was so great that
a part of tho timo ho held tho position
of Acting governor.
About 1857 ho returned to Pennsyl
vania and purchased the Doylestown
J)emocrat, which ho has edited ever
kiiice. When the rebellion broko out
lie raised tho 101th Regiment, of which
ho became colonel, and after some
liard fighting earned his promotion to
a brigadier generalship for gallant and
meritorious service. In 18C5 ho was
tho Democratic candidate for auditor
general, but was dofeated by General
Jlartrauft. In 1882 ho ran for Con
gress in tho Ducks-Montgomery Dis
trict, but was again defeated. In 1881
ho was taken up, as a forlorn hope, to
lead tho Democracy in tho fight for
congressman-at- largo, but was onco
more defeated.
Mr. Davis succeeds A. Wilson Nor

What Might Have Been.
AN ENGAGEMENT WITH MIC LINCOLN
THAT MIGHT HAVE SAVED
HIS LIFE.
Iawj Branch Letter to rntlaaelpttta Times.
"Had President Lincoln kept an en
gagement ho made with mo ho might
perhaps bo living still, ' said Mr. Kan
dall, of New .York, formerly of St.
Louis, tho other evening. Mr. Ran
dall is tho father of Mrs. Garrison and
tho conversation took placo on tho
piazza of her residenco here. When
urged to tell the story of, how this
could be, he mentioned that during the
lattor part of tho winter of 1 865 he,
knowing tho stato of affairs in the part
of Missouri within tho rebel lines and
in tho adjacent States, whero Kirby
Smith, witli 20,000 men, was only held
in check and kept from making raids
by 00,000 men of tho Union army,and,
being awaro that Kirby Smith and his
men, having had no pay or clothing
issued to them for six months, wero
maddened by tho knowledgo of the
necessities of their wives, children,
mothers and sisters, who wero actually
barefooted as well as otherwise scant
ily clothed, thought that ho would try
by peaceable means to rid that part of
tho country ot smith and his men and
prevent their making any moro raids.
Tins ho sought to do by getting per
mission for Union men- to buy their
cotton, which he knew was packed
ready for sale, and permitting the des-
tilnto Southerners to buy tho neccssi
tics of life in return.
Ho opened negotiations with Presi
dent Lincoln at Washington through
"Dick'' Yates, who at one time was
Governor of Illinois, and represented
to him tho wiso polioy of adopting tho
plan ho proposed, for bo said there
wero no other Confederates in arms in
that part of the country, and ho felt
convinced the plan ho urged would ef
fectually dispose of Smith and his men,
and that monoy to buy tho necessaries
of llfo procured by tho sale of cotton
and tho opportunity given to purchase
such supplies would, he thought, con
vert somo of them into good Union
men, whllo it would induce all to ceaso
raiding. "And if you do not buy their
cotton," Mr. Kandaii plead, "they will
burn it as soon as they see federal
troops approaching to seize it. It is
ready alike for safo or for tho torch."
lie went to seo l'rcaident J.incoIn tin
ally himself, and succeeded in convinc
ing him of tho wisdom of tho proposed
plan and secured tho necessary permit
to stock a boat with supplies and to
send it and purchasers of cotton to pro
per points on tho Mississippi wbenco
negotiations might bo opened for the
purchase ot the ootton so much needed
in Northern factories and for tho salo
of food and clothing to tho starving,
ragged (Jonfedcratci.
All seemed likely to go well, tho boat
was duly fitted up and stockod at great
cxpenso and started on her trip, but
unfortunately delays woro mado by tho
naval omccrs commanding our squad
ron on tho Mississinni and bv armv of-
ficers guarding posts on land, and tho
vessel was not allowed to proceed
lunally, niter many attempts to set
matters right, Mr. Randall determined
to go to Washington again, see Mr,
Lincoln, Stanton and Wells and send
tho boat which had already cost a largo
sum to its destination. President Lin
coln first mado an appointment to seo
Mr. Randall at tho White House on
Friday cvoning, April 14, 1805, and
tho lattor was about to take a train
from Now York, whither ho had gone,
to Washington to keep tho engagement
when ho received a telegram saying
that the President proforrod to post
pone tho conversation until Saturday
evening, because ho wished lo havo
time, when it took place, to talk at
length with Mr. Randall and on Fri
day ho wished to go seo Laura Iveeno
in "Our American Cousin.''
So Mr. Randall Btarted from Now
York Friday night lo keep tho engage
ment for Saturday evening, and on
leaching Baltimore next morning was
amazed to find his train under arrest,
tho order having been issued to allow
no trains to leave that city in any di
rection, and wai appalled to learn that
tho cause of this was tho assassination
of President Lincoln in Washington
tho previous night.
Tho dallies of Monday printed an as

The State Prisoner of '65.
REMINISCENCES Ol' JEFF
LIFE AT FOUTKESS
DAVIS 3
MONKOK
Major John S. Stephens- recently ro
lated the following incident connected
with Jeff Davis imprisonment at
Fortress Monroe.
"About tho middlo of May, 1805,
considerable excitement was occasioned
at tho fortress by tho receipt of orders
from the War Department that the
post should prepare tho casoment for
tre reception ot prisioners ot war.
Tho order was promptly carried out,
and on May 19 tho steamer William
P. Clyde steamed up Hampton Roads,
having on board Jefferson Davis and
Clemet C. Clay. Sho oarao to anchor
off tho Fortress, nnd I was ono of tho
first officers of tho garrison to visit tho
distinguished prisioner. K was neces
sary to issuo very strict orders for the
government of tho soldiers. Many of
them had suffered tho horrors of South
ern prisons, and tho news of President
Lincoln's assassination was fresh in
their minds. The namo of Davis was
closely associated in their minds with
all the sufferincs and privations of tho
long campaign, and tho crimes and .in
dignities against tbo (iovcinment.
Only tho opportunity was lacking to
i j . . i in- r .1 r- t l .
ieau to tno Killing oi uie oonieueruiu
ox-rrceident. Any ono ot tho men
would havo shot him down at sight,
oven had ho Known ho would swing
for it tho next moment.
"Davis was accompanied by his wifo
and children and Mrs. Clay was with
her husband. Mrs. Clay was extreme
ly solicitous and roquestod tho officers
to treat him kindly. He, too, was
pleasant and courteous in his manner.
Mr. Davis was morose and cold in his
demeanor. Ho was much dejected and
refused to talk. lie was suiter-
iug from neuralgia, which had depriv
ed bun partially ot bis oycsight and
was besides halt crazy trom dyspep
sia.
"Tho prisioners wero permitted to
stay on ship-board lor three days with
their families, but on May 22 Charles
A. Dana, assistant Secretary ot War,
mado preparations to bring them
ashore. A strong lino of sentries was
stationed about the fortress, but at
points whenco it was impossible to seo
Davis when Iiq landed. Col. Pritch
ard wont aboard and led Davis out,
after permitting him to tako leavo of
his wile, immediately on landing
Gen. Miles took chargo of tho prisionor
nnd led him into tho fortress by way
of tho water battery postern, Pritch
ard'e guard forming an impenetrable
lino on either tide. At tho entrance
of tho fortress tho inner guard escort
ed him to a cell fitted up for him in
tho gun room.
"Extra precautions wero taken to
mako this cell secure from tho possiblo
raids by reliof parties. Tho cmbrasuro
was heavily barred; and an array blank
et hung inside to keep out tho light.
Davls'e bed a hospital cot was plao
cd beneath tho embrasure. Tho dooi
opening into tho gun-rocm was also
heavily barred. A sentinel was lock
ed In tho cell with tho prisioner, while
just outside tho door an officer of tho
guard was stationed to watch the sent
iiicl. In front of tho gratod embra
sure was stationed an extra guard of
thiity armed sentries.
"Strict orders wero issued tegarding
the treatmont of Davis. Ho was allow
ed no reading matter except the Biblo
and prayer book. His food, a regular
army ration, consisted of coffee with
out milk for breakfast, with a lump of
broad; salt beef, bread and coffeo for
dinner and coffeo and hardtack for sup
per. Ho was allowed no knlfo or fork
lest l o should attonipt suicide. As ho
wan ill with dsypepsia nnd had for a
long time boen nblo to cat nothing but
tho daintiest lood, this rough met was
nauseating. Ho didn't attempt to cat,
and wont without food for several days.
Ho was getting a praclioal inkling of
tho way Union soldiers suffored in tho
Southorn prisons, although tho food
offered him was sumptuous compared
with that given the latter.
"About tins timo an incident occur
red Illustrating his bitterness toward
tho North, Ilo was so ill that Dr.
Bancroft was sent to prcsclbo for him.
" 'Whero nro you lrotn T ho asiceti
tho Doctor.
" 'Massachusetts, was tho reply.
" 'I'd soonor dio than to permit you
to touch mo or havo anything to do
with me; is there no other dootor hero t'
" 'Thero s Dr. Craven of lNow Jer
sey.
" 'Now Jersey 1 Well thnt.s an im
provement on Ynnkccdom: send mm
to mo.'
"So Dr. Craven attended tho arch
rebel and found him really ill.
Tho monotonous tramp, tramp ot
scntiucl, pacing up and down his cell,
annoyed Davis, iio hrst glared at
him angrily and then requested him to
stop walking. Tho Bcntry had orders
not to speak to tho prisioner, so no
said nothing, but continued his meas
ured tread. At last Davis became ox
asperated,and, rushing upon tho sold
ier, attempting to wrest tho musket
from him.
"This conduct was promptly report
ed and soon an order camo from Wash
ington directing that Davis bo put in
irons. Tho ordor was executed at
once. Blacksmiths camo to tho cell
and, instead of using tho oommon stylo
of clasp shackles, the old-fashioned
chain and broad bracelet wero brought
and tho smith preceded lo fasten them
on with rivets.
" 'By whoso order is this outrago
perpetrated asked Davis, trembling
with rage, his gaunt face livid with
passion. 'I protest; I will not submit
to this indignity,' and Davis caught a
hammer from ono ot tho men and
would havo smashed the blacksmith s
skull if a soldier had not caught his
arm.
"Capt. Titlow who had charge of
tho ironing, said: Mr. Davis, I am a
soldier acting under orders from my
superior officer. You. loo, aro a soldier
and know as well as t mat tno order
will bo carried out, whether you sub
mit quietly or resist.1
" 'Does President Johnson know of
this !' groaned Mr. Davis, as ho sat
down upon his cot and permitted the
smiths to rivet tho shackles. It was
generally understood that Secretary
Dana was instrumental in securing tho
issuance of tho order.
"Tho restraint of tho irons proved
very galling to Davis. His humiliation
was complete. But a few weeks bo
foro ho was tho head of tho Confoder-
ato Government nnd Commander-in-Chief
of all tbo Southern armies,
Now ho was chained to a hospital cot
in a 'Yankco' prison, unablo to rcmovo
his clothing or oven lie down in com
fort. It may bo his mind rovorted to
tho 'nigger markets' of his cherished
but 'peculiar institution,' whero tho
clankling of chains mingled with tho
wails of human cattle. Whatever was
tho nature of his reflections, the ex-
President sat lor hours after tho black
smiths left, his head bowed upon his
hands and the tears trickling through
his fingers.
"For fivo days and nights Davis
woro tho irons, but tho Burgeon saw
that ho wa3 chafing himself to death.
It would be poor polioy for tho illus
trious prisoner to dio in conscquenco of
Northern treatment ; hence tho shack
les wero removed.
"On tho 5th of October, about five
months after his arrival at Fortress
Monroe, Davis was removed to Carroll
Hall, when comfortable quarters wero
given him and ho was permitted to
read books. During his closo conhno
ment, witli no ono to converse with, ho
relieved tho tedium by studying tho Biblo
tho only book or reading matter save
tho prayer-book allowed him, till ho
was probably tho best informed man
on scriptural topics in the wholo South
Ho admitted that his imprisonment
had mado him a better Christian. The
pity is it didn't come before instead of
after tho war.
"From Carroll Hall Davis was ro
moved to Richmond, and soon after
was bailed out of prison in the sum of
S100.000, Horaco Greeley being ono of
tho bondsmen.

named. George S. Harris, of Pitts
burg, tho County Organizer, who has
been in Schuylkill County for the last
six months, is meeting with cntiro suc
cess in his efforts to bring together tho
miners and laborers of this region.
His work in the district exceeds that
of any of his predecessors. This, how
ever, was not accomplished but by tho
most strenuous efforts and labor on tho
part of Mr Harris. It appeared to bo
tho universal opinion of tho miners,
after so many failures in the past, that
they would never again become mem
bers of any organization unless it was
vory clearly set forth that it would
provo boneticial.
Mr. Harris, undertook tho difficult
task, and to day occupies a prominent
placo as an organizer, ilo organized
the first branch in tho district on April
3. and to-day thoro aro eleven branches.
with a membership of 3,500 in good
standing. This includes every em
ploye about tho colliery except the
superintendants und bosses. The Hun
garians and Polanders aro solid in its
support, and thoy aro tho best paying
members. Thero aro about 11,000
miners in Schuylkill County. It
estimated that about 10,000 of the
number havo already joined tho organ
ization, and m another month ovory
man of thom will bo in. Each branch
has among its officers the most enlight
ened Polanders and Hungarians, and
bv this means tho object of tho organ
ization is explained in that class, after
which no difficulty is experienced in
getting them lo enroll their names or
pay their monthly dues.
The new organization is conducted
on principles entirely different from
those of tho late Minor's and Laborer's
Union, and is not a secret society. It
is purely for tho interest, advancement
and protection of its members, land in
caso of tho death of a member $30 will
bo paid for bis burial.
"Aro vou not afraid ot detectives or
spotters being in your midst and watch
ing vour movement t" was asked of
ono of the officials.
"No, sir, replied tho old miner, "wo
are not afraid of anything. Our meet
ings aro not held on tho hillside, but
public halls, and thcro is scarcely a
meeting at which strangers arc not
present. There is, therefore no ne
cessity of McParlan or his class in tho
coal region." Continuing ho said
"Why, the best and most influential
business men of tho country are among
our members, and rcmomber, not for
politicial purposes, either. There
no injunction placed upon our mem
bers as to politics. They aro perfect
ly free to voto for whom thoy please,
Our organization cannot be used as
a body to voto for any particular as
pirant to politicial honors, and any at
tempt to do so will bo frustrated. Our
present condition is worso than that of
slavos, and whatever power wo can
command will bo used to remedy that
ovil."

"Sunstroko Is caused by excessive heat.
and especially if tho weather Is 'mugey,
It is more apt to occur on tho second, third

the first. Loss of sleep, worry, excitement.
close sleeping -rooms, debility, abuse of
stimulants prc-dlsposc it. It Is more apt
to attack thoso working in the sun, and cs.
penally between tho hours of eleven in tho
morning and four o'clock in the afternoon
Have as cool sleeping rooms as possible,
avoiu loss or sleep and all unnecessary
fatigue. If working Indoors and where
there Is artlrlclal heat, laundries, etc., seo
that tho room Is well ventilated. If work,
iug in the sun, wear a light hat (not black
as It absorbs tho heat), straw, etc., and put
Insido of It on tho head a wet cloth or a
largo grean leaf; frequently lift it from the
head and see that tho cloth is wet. Do not
check pcrspirution, but drink what water
you need to keep It up, as perspiration pre-
vents tho body from being overheated.
Have, whenever possible, an additional
shade, as a thin umbrella, when walking, a
canvus or hoard cover when working in
tho sun. When much fatigued do not go
to work, especially after eleven o'clock In
tho morning on very hot days, if tho work
is In tho sun. If a fcellng of fatigue, dlz-
ztiiuis, ueauacue, or exhaustion occurs
ceaso work immediately: lie down In
shady place; apply cold cloths to and pou
cold water over tho head and neck. If any
ono is overcome by the heat, send Immcdi-
ately for the nearest good physician. Whllo
waiting for tho physician give tho person
cool drinks of water, or cold black tea or
cold coffee, if ablo to swallow. If the skin
Is hot and dry, sponge with or pour cold
water over tho body and limbs, and apply
to uio head pounded Ico wrapped In
towel or other cloth. If thcro Is no Ico nt
hand, keep a cold cloth on the head and
pour cold water on It as well as on tho
body. If tho person Is pale, very faint.
and pulso feeble, let him Inhale nmmonla
for a few seconds, or givo him a teaspoon-
mi ot aromatic spirits of ammonia in two
tablcspoonsful of water with a little sugar."
