FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1887.
It has been discovered in Mexico
that electric lights have tho effect of
maddening bulls, and hereafter all their
bull fights will take place at night
Tho Brook's high license bill has
passed finally and now awaits tho nig
naturo of tho governor. AVe will print
tho bill in fall next week.
Tho Married Women's bill passed
finally on Wednesday. This bill en
larges tho powers of married women
very materially, and changes much of
tho legislation relating to them.
The American earthquakes aro on
their travels westward. When last
heard from they were in Now Mexico
and Arizona, bound apparently fr tho
Pacific, where it is hoped they may bo
drowned.
Tho Industrial Observer is the
name of a new labor paper that has ap
peared at Scranton. It is published by
Eli J. Davies, and ho proposes to make
it a '-medium for tho dissemination of
information between organized and un
organized labor tho workingmcn and
their employers."
Tho democratic stato committeo met
in Ilarrisburg on Wednesday to fir
dalo of tho coming stato convention.
It had been decided at the meeting be
fore to hold the convention in Ilarris
burg. The date decided npon is Wed
nesday, August 31.
The Pittsburg Rosl Saturday last
printed the opinions of the democratic
members of the Pennsylvania legisla
ture in reference to the choice for a
democratic presidential candidate. It
stood as follows : Cleveland 50 ; Hill
10; non-Committal 11. The same
paper expects soon to publish the pref
erence of the various county Chairmen
in the State.
Colonel Louis A. Watres, treneral in
spector of rifle practice, has issued a
circular regarding the rifle practice
of the National Guard. The season
for practice, which opened on May 1,
will close November 1. Practice will
bo expected of every officer and enlist
ed man, except musicians, and no com
mutation for ammunition or rifle ranee
will be allowed any company th3t does
not practice npon tho range at least
twenty-live men.
Canada will soon have to be annex
ed to the United States. Canada is to
this generation what Texas was half a
century ago and Texas had to be an
nexed in 1841 to get even with embez
zling fugitives. What a great haul of
bank cashiers, and genteel thieves
would be made if Canada were annexed!
England will soon bo tired of biding
American embezzlers and will probably
be willing to give up Canada in dis
gust to get rid of the number of Ameri
can criminals now hiding there.
It is authoritatively stated that, be
ginning in September next, Miss Rose
Elizabeth Cleveland, sister of the Presi
dent, will bo associated with Mrs.
Sylvaous Reed of New York in the
management of Mrs. Reed's school for
youncr ladies. The negotiations between
Mrs. Reed and Miss Cleyelaud have
only just been concluded, after a cor
respondence extending over a number
of weeks.
Miss Cleveland will become Mrs.
Reed's first assistant, and will deliver
lectures on American history. Miss
Cleveland is to devote her entire at
tention to her new duties, it having
been stipulated that she is not to en
gage in newspaper or magazine work.
Airs. Reed has known Miss Cleveland
for a number of years, and she spoke
to-day of the President's sister in terms
of unqualified admiration, and particu
larly eulogistic of what she termed Miss
Cleveland's classical education.
There is a forceful shout in New
York city for local self-government.
The New York Times declares that
"rural rule for cities is a failure," and
adds:
The peoplo of the city of New York
have the absolute right to manage their
own local affairs in their own way, and
representatives of rural communities
have no right to deprive them of the
opportunity and assume to do better
for them than they can for themselves.
And thereupon the Philadelphia
Record comments thus :
There is wholesome truth in this
suggestion. It is indeed high time that
the up-country tail should cease to wag
the metropolitan dog.
And yet during the present session
that same Phila. Record begged and
Draved the Countrv memhnra .if hn
Pennsylvania legislature to help defeat
i :n-t i . i 1
iuu viuuiuuua legislation oi me ring
sters and rascals whom Philadelphia
had sent op to represent itself saying
that Philadelphia was part of the state
eto etc.
"It is indeed high time" that the
country members should let New York
and Philadelphia lake the legislative
doso they mix up for themselves j and
attend to legislation outside of those
"metropolitan dogs. '
The good people of New Jersey who
have any regard for the honor and fair
name of their state ought to unite in a
determined ettort tor the amendment
of tho statutes concerning marriage.
The recent Pennsylvania act, requiring
a license and the consent of the parents
to me marriage ot a minor, has un
questionably done a great deal to dig
conraco hasty and ill-considered marri-
ages in this State, but ita good effects
nro in a great degreo nullified hero in
Philadelphia by the ease with which
foolish peoplo can cross to New Jersey
aud find some person with, more cupid
ity than conscience to unito them in
marriage, asking no questions. The
enactment by the Legislature of New
York of a statute similar to that of
Pennsylvania will have the Batne de
moralizing effect in Jersey City and
Hoboken that has been observed in
Camden. Now Jersey is thus made,
through tho laxity of its own laws, re-
xponsible for all manner of irregular
and improper marriages, not among her
own people, but among tho people of a
neighboring Stato It is a condition of
altalrs most discreditable to so conser
vative a Commonwealth ami one. which
honest Jerseyroen ought not to tolerate.
Tho Legislature, at its recent session,
was too much engrossed with peanut
pontics to give attention to a subject
so important, but the first opportunity
should be taken at the next session to
secure an enactment that will put
New Jersey abreast of the great States
with which it is so intimately connect
ed. Timet.
WASHINGTON LETTER
(From our Regular correspondent.!
Visnisaros. D. 0. .May Oth, 1887.
Tho event of the past week was Iho
visit to Washington of tho Queen of
the Sandwich Islands and her suite.
All sorts of obsequious attentions were
paid to her majesty at tho Capital of
this great Republic, for although Kap
iolani has the complexion of a mulatto
and tho Egyptian cast of feature, sho
is a royal personage, and thero is only
ouo way to treat visiting royalty, in
this country as well as in any other.
Tho Queen first called at tho Whito
House, and her visit was returned by
Mrs. Clovcland and the ladles of tho
Cabinet in less than two hours, ac
cording to tho royal ctiauctte. Then
followed a good deal of sightseeing
around tho city under tho pilotage of a
committeo of reception, a dinner at tho
Hawaiian Location, a review and pa
rade of troops in her honor, a reception
of masons at her hotel (King Kalakau,
the Queen's husband, is a member of
that fraternity) a visit to the circus, an
other to tho races, a trip to tho tomb
of Washington on the U. S. Despatch
escorted by an imposing company of
foreign Diplomats and representatives
of our own Government, and a Danquet
at the White House.
The conjunction of royalty and dem
ocracy was especially interesting as
presented at tho State dinner. The
Presidont of nearly sixty millions of
freemen led out the queen consort,
Kapiolani, of little more than sixty
thousand people, and sat at one end of
his official board with tho dusky bued
Queen on his right and the dusky
princess accompanying her on his left.
For once, at least, since, tho beginning
of bis Administration, Mr. Cleveland
found himself flanked by two women
who could not talk back to him. Nei
ther of them had .sufficient command of
English for general conversation. At
the other end of the table sat Mrs.
Clovcland and Minister Carter, who
represents the little kingdom in tho
Pacific ocean Iq this Government. Mrs.
Cleveland laughed gayly as she talked
to her escort and was evidently enjoy
ing the President's situation while she
was concealed from his view by largo
floral decoration in the centre of the
table.
The banquet was a most elaborate
affair and in perfection of every detail
was thought to excel any entertain
ment given at the Executivo Mansion
during Mr. Cleveland's occupancy.
Tho Stato apartments were profusely
decorated with flowers, among ?hich
the Hawaiiin colors wero prominent,
and the East Room surpassed the oc
casion of the President's wedding, not
in number, perhaps, but in the selec
tion of the flowers nsed.
When visiting the Treasury Depart
ment Kapiolani was taken down into
the subterranean vaults where the
money is kept, and seemed to take a
deep interest in the loads of cold and
silver stored away there. When told
how much money sho stood in the
midst of, Bhe was filled with wonder.
She left the Capital delighted with her
visit, and thinking that this is a "reat
people, and that they have a big Navy,
and immense dinners, and big taffy
mine and handsome President s wives.
But let it be said of Hawaiia's
Queen that notwithstanding the fact
that here is only a little kingdom and
that her skin is colored brown, royalty
of tho highest degree could not have
deported itself with more becoming
lady-like grace than she exhibited dur
ing ber visit to Washington. She
showed herself to be a woman of good
sense and good manners. Sho was un
obtrusive, modest, self-poised, digni
fied and wvon stately. Not speaking
English she was at a disadvantage, but
she was intelligent looking, and ap
parently quick-witted.
Probably the silliest of all the silly
stories that have been told of Secretary
Lamar was that one to the effect that
bo would not attend the State dinner
given to the Queen of the Sandwich
Islands on account of her color. It
seems ridiculous to take time to con
tradict so preposterous a report, were
it not for the fact that some people
might bo just silly enough to believe
it. The Secretary was confined to his
house by sickness at tbe time, and his
non-appoarance at the White House
on the above mentioned occasion was
attributed to that cause alone.
Ex-State Treasurer Baily Liable,
In the suit of the Commonwealth
against Silas M. Baily to recover the
sum of $70,000, with interest, growing
out of tho failure of a bank in whioh
state moneys had been deposited, and
in which Mr. Baily claimed ho was not
liable, for the reason that the state had
provided no vault for the safe keeping
of the publio funds, and that the s'.ate
treasurer is not liable for tho loss of
money deposited in banks under the
acta of assembly of 1874 and 1876,
Judge Simington Monday morniug
handed down an opinion, in which he
holds that under the bond given by tho
treasurer, he is liable; that the very
terms of the bond require that he shall
account for and pay over to his suc
cessor all moneys received by him in
his official capacity; and his failure to
do so is, therefore, a breach of the
condition of tbe bond; that this rule
has been applied rigidly to publio offi
cers by the Supreme court, and this,
though his failure to pay over the
money was' caused by the fact "lhat he
was suddenly beset in his office,thrown
down, gagged, and that against all the
defense he could make the money was
violently and without his fault taken
from him." That it has beon held to
bo no dofense, even on behalf of the
surely, that the money was stolen from
the principal without any tault or neg
ligence on his part, and tho judge says
he has not been able to find any later
caso modifying this doctrine.
He also says he does not think that
under tho acts or 1874 and 1870, per
mining tho deposit by the treasurer in
banks in good standing, security being
taken in tbe uame of the Common
wealth, the liability of tho treasurer
ceases. These acts were intended
simply to add to the security of
tho state. Under the law, therefore,
be sees no other course than to direct
that iudument be enterod in favor of
tbe Commonwealth for the amount of
tho claim.
U, B. Mutual Aid Society,
A CASE TO ItKCOVElt AMOUNT OF 1'OLICV
IK 1'AVOll 01' 1'LAINTIl'K.
In the case of Michael McDonald
ngainsl the United Brethern mutual aid
society, tho suit was upon a policy of
insurance issued on tho life, of Roger
MoDovitt, tho step father of the plain
tiff, ,ind on the trial of the case judg.
ment was rendered in favor of the step
soa. In view of the speoutativo in
surances that wero so common in recent
years, this tuit attracted a gieat doil of
attention, and during the trial it was
shown that the wife of the assured and
the mother of tbe insured stepson had
died before tbe insurance was effected,
and that therefore, thero could not
possibly bo an insurable interest) and
tho court was, therefore, asked to in
struct tho jury that it was a wagering
polioy. Tho court declined to so
charge, and tho verdict was against tho
company. A motion was then mado
that judgement bo entered for defend
ants, notwithstanding tho vordirt.
Judgo Simonton, on Monday May 9th
! - ,! 1 . . fl-l
in overruling tins moiion, says: jlliiv
thero was evidence to provo that dur
ing plaintiffs minority lie lived with
his stepfather received bis wages ; and
that aitcr ho married ho was treated as
a son i that they gavo and received
money as needed, and that they "did
not chargo ono another at all." Tho
court savs it understands from tho ver
dict' of the jury that the insurance was
affected in good faith, with an honest
purpose, and without any idea on tho
part of the stepfather or stepson of
entering into a speculation, or making
a wager ; and that it was based on the
relationship aud the relations existing
between them. The court says the
question is a natrow one. It knows of
no case in which the relation of step
father and stepson ipso Jacto implies
an insurable interest, but as it under
stands it the question here Is, does such
relationship, notwithstanding the facts
found by the jury, conclusively nega
tive the existence of such an interest,
and also require the conrt, on grounds
of publio policy, to hold that there can
be no recovery ! ''It may be lhat it
does, but wo arc not prepared so to de
cide. Tho point must bo settled by the
court of last resort."
The court then follows this decision
with a comparison of tho decisious of
tho supremo conn relating to tho sub
ject and says : "Upon tho whole case
wo think the verdict ought to stand.
In the cano beforo us, all intent to spec
ulate on the part of any one is negativ
ed by tho verdicU Wo think the ver
dict ought to stand, either on the
ground that tho plaintiff, on tho special
facts in this case, had an insurable in
terest or that tbe interest of the assured
in his own life, supports tho contract
to pay as against the company, and
that publio policy will be better con
served by so holding, and treating
plaintiff m a trustee for those entitled
to tho fund, than by permitting the
company to knowiugly make suoh con
tracts with persons who act in good
faith aud not with intent to speculate
and, after having collected large assess
ments, repudiate them. If tho court
of last resort thinks otherwise, the
case is in such state that our error may
be readily corrected and the proper
judgment entered."
Terrible Mine Disaster.
A terrible explosion occurred at the
Vancouver Coal Company's mine,
Nanaimo, B. C, last week. Tbe first
intimation of the explosion which reach
ed those on the surface was a terrible
shock, followed by an outburst of thick
black smoke through the air shaft.
The first explosion was quickly follow
ed by a second one, stronger than the
first. It carried pieces of wood, miners'
lamps, eta, hundreds of feet in the air.
In a few, minutes flames began to
issue through the airshaft with a loud,
roaring noise. The fanhouse soon
caught fire and was quickly consumed.
in tbe meantime nine white men and
four Chinese were brought up through
No. 1, or tho hoisting shaft. J. R.
Gibson, overman, miraculously escaped
from the lower slope by picking his
way to the stables, where be was met
by the rescuers. Rescuing parties con
tinued in the attempc to reach the en
tombed men, but were able to save
only fifteen, when they wero overcome
by the afterdamp and had to be rescued
by others. Of these noble rescuers,
Samuel liunson succombed to the
effects of the afterdamp.
A black pall hung over the city.
Business houses were closed, collieries
shut up, and the entire population
gathered at the scene of the disaster.
Frantic wives, terror-stricken children
and sorrowing fathers hovered in the
vicinity and mourned over their terri
ble affliction. Occasional showers of
rain cast a dreariness over the already
ghastly scene. The imprisoned miners
were all old settlers. Their faces were
familiar on tbe city's streets, and there
will bo many a void in the homes of
the people. All of the thirty-six bodies
were discovered Friday morning in the
fatal mine and brought to tho surface
by 1 o'clock. The men had all been
killed by afterdamp and presented a
horrible appearance. The Bcenes around
the Bhaft while body after body was
brought up and identified were sorrow-
ful in the extreme. E. G. Prior. M.
P. P., mining engineer, nobly volunteer
ed to go down the fatal shaft and
assist in the dangerous work of re
moving bodies. He states that the
bodies were found three-quarters of a
mile from the shaft, and were rescued
from the midst of the after damp with
tho greatest difficulty. Men had to
pack bodies on their backs through
quarter of tho way up the slope, climb-
ing over iauen piuars, oroKen cars, xc
Of the men whose bodies have been
recovered 21 are whito men and 12
Chinese.
Destructive Storms
A terrifio thunder storm, accompan
ied by heavy hail and wind equal to a
hurricane, passed over the Allegheny
mountains in eastern Somerset and
western Bedford counties last week. A
few moments before the storm came a
roaring like the discharge of many
cannon was heard in the distance, and
as soon as tbe clouds rolled across the
sky the roaring increased. The storm
struck the mountains, moving in a
northwesterly direction, and was about
a quarter of a mile wide. For two
miles largo trees were twisted off like
Btraws, and everything in its path iron
cd ou to tho earth. In some instances
immense trees were caught up and
carried several hundred feet into the
air and hurled back again with a swift
ness that cannot be described. The
lightning was fearful, and struck a
barn belonging to a man named Barn-
lianlt, living on tho mountain, and
totally demolished it, tho wind carry
ing away the portions the lightning
didn't destroy. The hail fell in Btones
as largo as eggs, and vegetation of
all kinds suffered severely. The dam
age to fruit trees and timber will
amount to thousands of dollars.
A terrifio wind swept over tho upper
peninsula of Michigan last week, com
pletely prostrating telegraph wires
and doing great damage At Ishpem
incr. Houchton. Necaunee. Escanaha.
and all through from Fort Howard to
Iron rim, and from Norway to Saulto
fat. Alarm communication was entirely
i r L..!ii! .
ucstroyuu, :uuny uuimiugs were un
roofed, chimneys demolished and rail
road travel badly interrupted by fallen
troes.
Men in tho woods were terribly
frightened. At Norway John Coleman
was killed by a falling tree ; at Quin
iiessco tho Masonic hall and Fireman's
building was demolished; ou Iron
Mountain great damage was done to
houses and so the reports go on from
lbs oouutry all around there.
l'eunsvlvania and New York,
It is now about half a century sinco
New York city began to tako the lead
ot Philadelphia in commerce and finance
but whilo New York city has grown
rapidly in every quality of material
greatness, Pennsylvania has steadily
kept tho lead of New York in growth
of population. From 1830 to 1880, tho
percentage of increase of population
has been in favor of Pennsylvania in
every census report. The report of
1870 exhibits an increase of 12.0 per
cent, in xsow xork an l zi.i in i'enn
sylvanie, and tho report of 1880, shows
the -New x ork incrcaso to be 15.9 to
21.G in Pennsylvania. The total in
crcaso of population in New York
from 18G0 to 1870 "was 602,024, and
from 1870 to 1880 it increased 700,112
whilo Pennsylvania increased 615,730
in 1870 and 7C0.940 in 1880.
Controller Chapin, of New lork
State in his recent special report to tho
Legislature on salaries, taxation and
revenue presents somo very instructive
fools as to tho relative growth of pop
ulation in tho two States. One import
ant difference between New York and
Pennsylvania is in the fact that of the
increase of population for tho decade
ending 1880, 77 per cent, of tho aggro
gate increase in Now York was in
seven cities, whilo only 83 por cent, of
the aggregate increase ot renn
syl.vania was In cites of like rank.
Pursuing the comparison, Controller
Chapin stales that of 07 counties in
Pennsylvania, but ono shows a decrease
in population ; only five show a gain
of less than five per cent : over 45
conntics show a gain of over ten per
cent., 22 of which show gains of over
20 per cent, while there are only 8
counties in New York which exhibit
that percentage of growth.
the ditlerence in the growtb of Post
Offices have been equally in favor of
Pennsylvania. Now York had 2.947
in 1870, and now has 3,231 ; an increase
of 284. Pennsylvania had 3,443 in
1870 and now has 4.088 ; an increase
ofG15. There aro now 10 Pennsyl
vania Post Offices which have tho free
delivery system, to 18 in New York ;
but under tho late act of Congress ap
proved January 3, 1887, Beaver Falls,
BetMehem, Carlisle, Chester.Chambers
burg, Franklin, Hazletoc, Huntingdon
Johnstown, Lebanon Meadvillc, New
Castle, Norristown, Oil City, Shenan
doah, Titusville and West Chester,
will all be free delivery cities after the
close of the present fiscal year on the
30th of June ; and New York will then
be behind Pennsylvania in the only
postal feature in which she now leads
tho Keystone State.
The marked distinction between the
growth of Pennsylvania and New York
is in the country districts, the great
producers of wealth. New York leads
Pennsylvania in city growth, where
people live largely on the wealth-producing
classes, whilo Pennsylvania has
her largest increase in the great indus
trial centres which aro her sources of
riches, and thus proves the more sub
stantial and enduring advancement in
me channels which most contribute to
the grandeur of a Commonwealth.
