The Columbian. 5, ""Tsnnniwain' 0, E, Elwtll, ,. J. K. Blttantunder.) rB"t0TI' BLOOMSBURG, PA. FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1888. When Governor Beaver took a second look at tlio da to to which ho had extended tho respite of Samuel Johnson, tho murderer of John Sharp less, ho found that October 12 would oomo on Friday. He thereupon chan ged It to Wednesday, October 17, hav ing determined that ho would never fix Friday as a day of execution. Ex. Judgo Thurman, in speaking recent ly made tho following remark, which may bo profitably read by all who pro pose to engage in political discussion, or any discussion, during tho coming heated term in politics and tho atom sphere. "It is very difficult for many if not most people to oontrol their ton gues to a calm statement of their opin ions; but it ia an act which everyone should cultivate assiduously. My friends, it is not my purpoeoto say any harsh things of our political opponents. That never has been my style of speak ing. Even when I was a very young man 1 might say not a man at all, for at the time of my first stump speech I was nothing but a boy oven then I always endeavored to keep a civil tongue in my head. I always re cognized tho right of every man to do his own thinking, and if he would only think honostly and bo as tolerant of me as I was to him there would bo no harsh words fall from my lips in re spect to him; and so in the contests of our own party it never has been my habit to quarrel with those who did not think -just as I thought."

Sheerin, of Indiana, secretary; E. B. Dickinson, of New York, assistant secretary; Charles J. Canda, of New York, treasurer. The chair was autho rized to appoint an executive commit tee of twenty-one to tako general chargo of the campaign and also to ap point a committee of seven to be known as "the campaign committee." The commuteo were appointed to sel ect headquarters in New York oity and to attend tho convention of democratic clubs in Baltimore. The committee adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. What it Means, A freer trade means ohoaper mann f actures. Cheaper manufactures means a wider market A wider market means more work. More work means a greater demand for labor, aad there fore higher wages. Higher wages mean better times for American work- ingmon. This is the chain of logical sequen ces drawn from the Democratio policy. The United states is the only nation in tho world that maintains a high tariff on raw materials of manufacture. And the United States is the only large manufacturing country that has not increased the proportion of manu aotured products in its exports during tho past twenty-five years. The effect of this absurd war-tariff polioy has been to glut the homo mar ket with inferior roods and to close tho markets of the world to our finish ed products. It is this polioy of over stimlation and handicapping that has made the past twenty years a period of brief "booms" alternating with long seasons ot stagnation, bankruptcy, strikes, lockouts and losses. The Democratio polioy means a more normal condition of business and better times for everybody. The troria. Offensive Hail Matter. Washington, D, 0., Jane 20.

Judge Tiunkey Dead. THE EMINENT JUItlST DIES IN LONDON. Monday morninp; tho news was re- oeived that Judge John Trunkey of the supreme court bad died in London on Saturday. For over a year Judge Trunkey has not occupied his seat on tho supremo bench. About a year ago ho went to Europe to be treated for an affection of the nose. Tho bony tissue of that organ had become softened, tho disease having been a source of troublo for a number of years. His renal complaint has developed during Jus trip abroad, Ilo waa tho second judgo elected under tho twenty-one year term oi ouice, uniei Justice- i'ox Bob having been tho first. Judge Trunkoy's refiuod and oourto oub bearing mado him very popular uiuuuk mo uar ui i euuByiVBMO. lie was a man of extraordinary culture, but of a very retiring disposition. Mrs. Trunkoy and a son, who is practio- Bing law at warren, are the judgo i only immediate survivors. Judge Trunkey was born in Mercer county, l a., in 1828. He was elocted judge of the judicial district composed ot Venango and JUerccr counties In 18 oo. m 1877 he was elected an asso ciate jtistico of tho supremo court The doatb of Judgo Trunkey creates n vacanoy in the supreme bench wbioh the governor has the power to fill by appointment nntil a successor has been chosen by tbo people. Tho constitu tion provides that when there aru two judges of tho Bupreme court to be elected each voter shall vote but for ono person. Judge Mitchell, of Phila delphia, has been nominated by the re publicans, and Judge J, B. McCollum, of Susquehanna, by the demoorats. Tho effect of the provision of the con stitution above cited will be that both Judge McCollum and Judgo Mitohell will be elected next fall. WASHINGTON LETTER. From our rtPfrular CorroeponaontO Washington, Junozcth. 1888, On Wednesday President Clovoland will go to tho University of Virginia to take part In tho commonooment ox eroises, Senator Voorhccs will deliver an oration beforo tho literary societies of that institntlon on tho samo occas ion. Mr. Cleveland has been invited to visit the- homo of Madison on his return from Charlottesville, and elabor ate preparations aro being made for his reception by tho present ownor of tho old estate. All arrangements havo been com pleted for tho mooting in this oity to morrow of tho committco appointed by tho St Louis convention to notify Mr. Cleveland of his nomination. The commlttoo, many members of which aro already horo, will moot at two o'clook and go in a body to the White House to ollioially notify Mr. Ulovo land of his nomination to tho Presi dency. It is expected that Mr. Thur man will bo at the While House whon tho committco gets there, and that he will be notified of his nomination to tho Vice-Presidonoy at tho same time. Alter tbo formalities are over the noti fication committeo and the National committco which meets horo at tho samo time, will be taken in charge by the Columbia Democratio Club of this city, whlob has arranged an oxcollont programme, including a trip by steam er to Mount Vornon, for the entertain ment of the visitors. Congressional news of interest .has been rathor scarce for tbo past week, not that Congress is not bard at work, but because of the kind of work with which it is encased regular appro priation bills. It is work however, whioh is indispcnsablo and which re quires to be oarefully and intelligently done In its platform the Republican con vention was very modest in enumerat ing the achievements of the party. They do not claim to have created the earth, but there is little elso that they do not claim. To people familiar with the political history of the country, the document furnishes its own answer. Mr. Cleveland's letter of acceptance which Las been written, and which will probably bo made publio this week, is said, by a gentleman who has been fortunate enough to havo read it. to bo one of the ablest state papers yet pre pared by him. The Chicago convention leaves the Republican party in a terrible condi tion. Tho jealousies aro muoh worse than they were in 1880. Poor John Sherman. Ever fated to get left Mr. lieni. V. b airohild, of New York oity, father-in-law of Representative Stahlmecker, was jn this oity a day or two ago. Speaking of the politioal out look in New York, ho said: "My, mark is 100,000 majority in the state for Cleveland. People may think that is wild, but I havo been aotively engaged in tho politics of the state for more than half a century, and I believe I can como as near as any man to telling how an election will go, I am willing to risk any amount up to 950,000 on my judgment The people of New York are pleased with the ticket and with the platform, and they will vote the ticket like sheep following each other. For Governor wo will nomi nate David B. Hill, tho most popular democrat' now in the state, and we will elect him with a rush, too." With the exception of the large majority, Mr. Fiirchild's opinion is a fair sample of those daily expressed here by visiting New Yorkers. A committeo from Tammany Hall was in the city a day or two ago for the purpose of securing prominent speakers lor tbo ratification jnbilee which the society proposes to hold on July 4. The loilo wing gentlemen have acc epted invitations to attend and make speeches: senator Vest and Hep- resentatives Mills, Colline, Ford (of Miohigan) Washington, Hooker, Urain,MoAdoo, Wise, Sbively, Uynam, McCreary, and Speaker Carlisle. Washington democrats will send a very large crowd to Baltimore Julv 4, to attend the national convention of clubs. A largo number of congress men win also attend. Representative Fith, of New York, who was elected as a Republican, but who has left that party on account of the tariff, and joined the Democratio party, gave a banquet to Representa tives Price, Spinola, Townshend and Ford and the Tammany committeo on Thursday evening. Mr. Fitoh made a lew remarks exniainins whv he bad left the Republican and joined the De mocratio party. The other gentlemen gave him a hearty welcome to the party. Since the fact was published that Representative Timothy Campbell, of Now York, has made a bet of $5,000 that Cleveland and Thurman would carry New York, that gent'eman baa been overwhelmed with requests by telegraph and mail to get some more bets df that sort, for bis constituents, all of whom know a good thing when iney see iu Official ly Notified. Washington, June 20 Tho Notifi cation Committeo accompanied bv members of the National Democratio Committee called upon President Clevo land this afternoon and formally noti fied him of his nomination for Presi dent Ho replied in an earnest aud emphatic manner, accepting the nomi nation, and stating that ho would in due time sign such an acceptance in tho usual formal manner. At the close of the speech making the President proceeded to tho State aming room and partook of light re- ircsiimenu. It has been estimated that 1,000,000 feet of lumber, principally ash, is used annually for makinc basn hull lints: thn yearly demand being placed at over ouv.uuu. uver twenty styles are made for boys and men. In one Miohigan factory moro than a hundred men are employed in this manufacture, usinrr up in the course of a year 850,000 feet of ash, 25,000 feet of bass wood, and 50,000 feet of cherry. Other factories in the East and West are said to do business equally large. Cak-iiuildkiis are said to be taking advantaco of this Juno weather tn trv to agree upon some kind of a ooupling mat win cuauie steam-neated cars be transfered from ono railway another. It is easier to find a success ful method of beating oars by Bteam than to get tho various railways to agreo upon some uniform conpli that will make it available. Aa n OB sev eral of tho States havn nBHHnd lawn rn. quiring tho banishment of the car stove within a specified time the necessity of prompt action is apparent. In this matter railroad corporations havo been proverbially slow. In other respects they havo kept op with the marvelous progress of the age, but the car stove bad to be legislated out of Byltnnn before they would abandon it. THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT. A Big Bobbery. 929,000 stolen hv 1'iiiM.ir a. huhkr, AN KXl'ltMS AGENT OK fllJNIUJKY. Sunburv furnished tho sensation of last week. Tho man ho stolo $29, COO on tho 10th of August, 1880, from tho Adams Express oompany, and for which Rathmai Pratt, a clerk in tho Phlladolphli oflicc, waa arrested and confined for sovoral weeks, was arrest ed in Philadelphia on Wednesday last and over half of tho money recovered. Tho man arrested is Philip A. Hubor, tho company's agont at Sunbury. After tho company becamo satisfied that they could not convict Pratt tho oaso was put in tho hands of Pinker ton's nL'onov. snaring no expense Hubcr was not especially suspected un til a fow months nao, when it was no ticed tha he was living extravagantly. For tho past throe years he was agent at Sunbury and was highly respected in that town and was regarded as an upright man. Tho stolen money was in paokages shipped by tho Mineral Mining Company, Philadelphia, to Shamokin, the paokages contatniug in all tho sum of $29,G08 and was receiv ed in tho usual way. Tho disappear anoo of the money gavo tho Express company great annoyanoo and they de termined to ferret out the thief at any ooat Tbo Pinkerton men wont to work and quietly operated for two years, finally succeeding in corralling tho thiof and recovering a portion of tho money. A spotter was placed to watob Huber, who for a long timo carried himself as was his usual style. All at onoe, however, ho began spending money pretty lively in faot spending muoh more than he could af ford on the salary ho was getting. This the detective was not slow in noting. He bought elegant new fur nituro and carpets, and had an expens ive steam heating apparatus placed in his house It was known that ho was not a saving man and bis lavishness caused suspicion. His bills amounted to $1000 for household goods and a niano cost him $500 additional. Ilia wife gavo parties at short intervals and invilod her friends to picnics. Huber was only receiving $75 per month, and it was ascertained that he bad no rich relatives from whom he could obtain the money. One day last week Capt. Linden, of the detective agcuoy, went to Sunbury and took ohargo of thecaso himself. On Tuesday tho officers of tho oompany sent Huber a deooy tele gram tolling him to report in Philadel phia on important besiness. This move was taken to get him out of tho way. He obeyed the order and while he was absent Capt Linden went to 'Squire Brioe and swore out a warrant Tho captain, together with s'x of his men commenced to watoh the bouse. Con stable Hoover was employed and in the afternoon he and the captain went to Huber's residence, displayed their au thority to Mrs. Huber and began a thorough search of the house while several of the men stood guard out side. The oaptain conducted the search himself. First the kitchen wai visi'ed, then tho dining room and then-.tho parlor. In the mantle piece of the parlor, back among the brick, bo found tbe snug Bum ot ten thous and dollars done up in tho original packages, stamped with the sealing wax that was placed mere in tno r-ni- ladelphia office in the summer days of 1886. Tho search was continued, and upstairs in a secret drawer in a jewel case was found over six thousand .. , ... .l ; i dollars, aiso aono up in tne original packages. On worked the searchers until the sum in tho house was raised to $18,335. Word was wired to Philadelphia to tho company's officials and Huber was arrested at the office of tho company in that city. He was greatly surprized but kept up a bold front and deolared that he knew nothing of the theft un til he was told that tho money had been found in his house, be broke down and mado a full confession to Capt. Linden. Let There be Light The New York Herald calls the at tention of the managers of the Demo cratic -campaign to tho fact that but four months remain in which to edu cate the people on tho subject matter ot the gieat issue on which tho presi dential election will turn, and urges that Bteps be taken at once to put in the hands of every voter tracts and documents from which he may learn tbe true inwardness of that issue. The idea is a good one. Nay it is the best in tbo world. The republi can hicrh tariff lournaU and the monon ply Protective League have sown the seed of falsehood broadcast and their fallacies are being presented as seduct ively as tho tempter presented tho an pie to Mother Eve. Tbe national, congressional and state committees of tbe Democratio party should lose no further time in supplying the people with the necessary literature on tbo subject of the tariff. To wait until tbe brass bands begin to roar and tho marching clubs to shout is to postpono tun upeoiug oi uiu lanu pcnooi uimi tho expected scholars will bo truants, out on the usual quadrennial political troua By tho way tho democratio national committee is soon to organize. Who is to bo chairman? Is somo ono to be chosen who can bo trusted to handle a literary bureau? Some one whose heart is in tho causo of tariff reform? Some one who will bo vigorously ng- gruBBivu aim wuo in no ovenv wi think of making a defensive battlo Let the committee bo sure that it make no mistake in the selection of its chair man. Patriot. Tried to Kill His Invalid Wife. WiLKES-iiAimE, Juno 23. Otis A, Robs, of Leroysville, Bradford county. resolved upon a new plan to get rid of an invalid wife. For moro than year past Mrs. Rosa has been suffering trom a cancer, lho husband got tired of nursing her, and last week he sold all his furniture and farming utonsiU, What be oouldn t sail be loaded up in a wagon. When Sunday night arrived be gavo his wife a big doso of laudan um for the purpose of killing her, and then started off with his wagon. He was arrested to-day at Shioksuinny, 85 miles lrom his lormor home, neigh bora discovered his crimolast Tuesday, but tho woman was nearly dead and cannot reoover, Ross' old neighboi threaten to lynch him. When arrest ed he had $1,024 on his person. It is evident that it will be diffioult to keep tho, leaders in tho party this fall, Ex Mayor Low of Brooklyn has announced himself for Cleveland, an i the New York Times and Harper t Weekly will endorso him as they did in 1884, Tbe Providence Journal a republican paper with a wide circula tion has just announced that it can not support Harrison with the republican platform, Republican Nominees- Tho republican Convention at Chi cago finished thoir work Monday last by nominating ueniamin Harrison ot Indiana, f or Prosidi ut, and Levi P. Morton of Now York, for Vioo-Prcsl- dont Tho ballotting was comraenoed Friday when thrco unsuccessful ballots wcto takon with Sherman in tbo load. Tho Convention then ndjourned until oaturoay, when two moro ballots woro taken, without a ohoico, but with tho voto of Harrison steadily increasing, An adjournment was then taken until juouuay and two more ballots taken, with Harrison in tho lead. An effort was now mado to unlto upon Blaine. but tbo Sherman men would not yield, ana uiaioo wouiu not acoept unless a unanimous voto could bo given. Tho olghth ballot was commenced and Uioro soomed to bo a break for Ham from tho start Alabama whioh had voted for Shorman, divided its vote on Harrison and Alger. Whon tho ballot was polled Harrison had received 544 votes, Sherman 118. Mr. Harrison was born at North Bond Ohio, August zu, loaa. ine only genius whioh bis friends olaim for him is tho genius of application. And he has applied him- solf to politics all his lifo. In 18G4 ho was ro-olcotcd roporter of tho Supreme Court of bis Stato. He sorved till 18G8. Almott from tho first appoar- anco in tho Stato ho was taken into tho counsels of the party and tho local pol :.:!. it. ! j' ti.i i iiiuiuuB. iiu uiuuu muuy political speeches, assisted in tho management of tho Stato Committee and gradually grow in prominonoo until in 1876 God love S. Orth, having withdrawn, from tho Republican nomination for Gover nor, Harrison was put up in his place by the State Committee, mado a big fight and was badly beaten by tho his toric "blue jeans" Williams. In 1878 ho again lot the Republi cans in their hopeless contest against Groenbackisro. Two years afterwards ho was Chairman of the Indiana Do legation to Chicago, and throw tho vote of that Stato to Garfield. That year ho wan at the head of tho two campai gns in his Stato. In 1879 he was ap pointed a member of tbo Mississippi Riyer Commission. In 1880 the Indi ana Legislature elected him to tho United States Senate, where his career, if not particularly brilliant, was resneo- tablo. 'March 3, 1887, bis term of office expired and ho made a desperate but unsuccessful attempt at re-oleotion. Dayid Turpio was chosen to succeed him in the Senate, and that august body has just refused to disturb Mr. Turpie's tenure in spito of the shrioks of tho Harrison men that a gigantic fraud had been perpetrated on inno cent Hoosterdom. Levi P. Morton of N. Y. William Walter Phelps of New Jersey and Willian O. Bradly of Kentuoky wero named for VicfrProsident Tho bal loting gavo the following result : Morton 591, Phelps, 119 and Bradly 103. Mr. Morton was born in Shore- ham, Vt iu 1824. In 1854 ho moved to Now York and founded a dry goods storo but was unsuccessful. In 1863 he went into the banking business and made monoy rapidly. He entered pol itical life in 1876 being nominated in tbe Eleventh Congressional district, but was defeated. Two years later be was elected: Under President Garfield he was appointed Minister to Franco. He is very neb, and this possibly is the cause of bis reoeiving the nomina tion. No Signs of a Business Scare. The Republican press is trying to oonvinoe tbo American pcopio that American industries aro in a bad way at present, but tho stubborn facts tell a very different story. Tbero is no surer index of business activity than the fig ures showing the process of new rail road building. Taking the figures for five months from January to Juno, as compiled by tbo Philadelphia Times, it appears that there have been laid in 32 States and Territories, on 123 lines, 2,271 mileB of new railway. During the first five months of 1887 only 2,351 miles wero laid, or 80 miles more than during the corresponding term for 1888. Assuming that tno ratio oi new traok laid during tbo first five months to that completed during the entire 12 months averages about tbe Bame from year to year, the Times estimates at least 12, 000 miles of new additions to the rail way mileage of tho oountry for this year, atr amount second only to the additions of 1887, when the unpre cedentedly high figure of 13,000 miles was reached. Tbe total cow mileage of 1884 was 3,825 miles; of 1885, 3,600 miles, of 188G, 9,000 miles, and of 1887 nearly 13,000. The inolement weather oi tbe hrst three months and tbo preliminary surveying, grading and oriage-Duuuing always uiuuer irauit laying during tbe first half of the year in our climate, so that taking one year with another only from twenty to thirty per cent of th'e completed work of tbe year is credited to the first five months. It would not bo surprising it the railroad construction of this year should pxceed that of any previous year in our history, for the very Blight falling oil up to date is in all prubamli ty tlio result of the unusual backward ness of -the spring. The great advanco which began soon after tho present Democratio administration went int power will doubtless bo maintained, As there is no complaint of dullness in the demand for builders' hardware or agricultural machinery, tho two in dustries that next to railway building absorb the most iron and steel, it is ovident, as tho Times remarks, that tho fates are against tbo men who aro trying to engineer a busioess scaro this year. Hun and Jianner, To Improve Tht Capitol. Washington, June 2G. Persons vis iting Washington havo porbaps, re garded the Capitol a complete, but it is, in fact, an unfinished building, and tbe Houso has nust appropriated Si 00, 000 for -a grand portico and stairoaso at tho west front. However false an economy may prevail with Senators and Representative regarding other puLlio buildings, they all know better than to put obeap work on tbe Capitol. Originally the East front of tho build ing was intended as the real front, but placing the President's houso back of the Capitol caused tho city of Wash Ington to be built behind tbo Capitol as it was. So the West front had to be mado as grand and imposing as the East Twoor jthreo years ago Con- grets appropriated over $300,000 for the new marble terrace, which is now complete. It adds immeasurably to tho beauty of the building, and it ap parently gives an additional story, thus doing away with tho heavy eftcot of the dome. Tbo Capitol is a very good standard lor judging oi tne great ex tent of certain historic structures. Two othor creations in stone have al most tbo identical proportions of the Capitol. One is tho gnat Pyramid, tho other is St Peter's. There Is not the difference of a dozen foet iu tho length of any of tho three. BLOOMSBURG, War in DuShore.

Killed by Lightning. A 1'K.NNSVLVANIA TOWN VISITED UV TWO DISASTKOUS STORMS. WiijCES-nAnnE, Pa., Juno 23. A terrific storm passed over Wyoming Valloy at noon to-day. In tho vioini ty of Pitlson buildings woro struck by lightning on every aide and great dam ago was done. The rainfall was tre mendous, and largo tracts throughout tho country districts wero flooded. A man named Brady, a miner, while re turning from work was struck by lightning and instantly killrd. A Beoond storm visited Pittson at 3 o'clock this afternoon. It dashed in all the windows of J. E. Patterson's factory, blew lumber piles oway sever al hundred feet and flooded the fact ory, doing damage amounting to $1, 000. Freight cars on the Lehigh Val loy, Erio and Wyoming, and Dolaware Lackawanna' and Western railroads woro unroofed. Tbo wires of the oleo-trio-light plant, telegraph and tele phone companies were blown down and the town in darkness to-night. Tho lightning went down tho wire ropo of tho Pennsylvania Company's hhaft and shattered tho carriages in tho pit at the bottom, doing over $1,200 dam ages to tbe shaft and winding gear. It also descended the twin colleries, knocking a miner over. Hail-stonts three quartern of an inch in diamtter fell, and many windows throughout the place were biokcn. Bunoo-Steerers Foiled. A l'KOMINENT POTTSVILLli ARCHITECT NARROWLY ESCAPES BEING FLEECED. PoTTsvii.i.E, Juno 21. Henry Zim merman, one of Pottsville'e oldest ar chitects, narrowly escaped being fleec ed by a braco of bunoo-steercra this morning. About 10 o olook a nioely dressed yonng man oalled at his office and introduced himself aa the sun of John B. Packer, of Sunbury, Mr, Zim merman's birth place and the residence of a number of his relatives. Tho young man talked very plausibly, asked auout tne value oi real cstato in town and finally said that he was getting out a book and wished to get indorse ments of prominent people of tho town. Ho asked Mr. Zimmerman to accom any him to his room and ho would give him a copy of it. Not suspecting anything, Mr. Zira mormon went with Packer to a room ho had rented, where thoy met the confederate, who said that the few books on band were very dirty, but they would havo more in on Monday. Packer got Mr. Zimmerman to write his name and address on a piece of pa por, saying ho would send him a book as soon as the lot arrived. Ilo asked Mr. Zimmerman not to mention the matter, as they did not wish to givo away the books. Mr. Zimmerman told bis Bon of the affair and tho young man immediately "oaught on" and no tified the banks not to negotiate any paper bearing bis father's signature. j. tie crooks have escaped. Origin of the "Dark Horse." Now that tho dark horses aro whin nying softly all around about says the Now York Sun, it will do to reoall the origin of tho phrase. It occurred for thn first timo in Lord Beacons field's "Young Duke." Here is the para graph: "The first favorite was never heard of, tho second favorite was never seen after the distance post, all tbe ten to-ones were in the rear, and a dark hone whioh had never boeu thought of rushed past the grand stand in swooping triumph.''
