Wesloy Derr, aged about 85 years, and well known throughout the country as an prlght and respectable citizen met with a most horrible accident on Tuesday after noon of last week near White Hall. His occupation is that of a stone and stump blaster. In blasting he used dynamite. A charge had just been placed under a large stump on tho farm cf John Mpeer, and Derr, npproached to light the tusc, but before doing so, stepped around tho dan gerous spot a few times, when suddenly ho discovered that in some unaccountable manner tho fuse had become Ignited and was burning wltbln a few Inches of the cap. A minute's tlma and ho would" bo blown to atoms. This Mr. Derr realized, and ho Immediately begin stamping tho treacher ous, smoking fuse in tho ground. Iu his excitement the unfortunate man forgot about the cap and ho accident!)' struck the latter with bis heavy boot. Tho shock thus occasioned caused the dynamite to explodo, and tho result was a horrible one. MR DEBIt'S MANOLED IIODT. The unfortunate man was blown a (list. ance of about twenty feet, and when tho other workmen reached the spot whero ho lay a horrible spectacle presented itself. Derr's right leg had been blown off below tho knoe, while his right cheek and eye were literally blown away. It was indeed sickening sight, and the men could scarce find CJurago to lift the pior unforl- unato from the ground. A thorough search for tho detache.d limb only reycaled por. Hon' of that member, and had the force of the charge but struck a fojt htirhar Derr's body would doub'less havo been blown to atoms. Asitwasle still lived, and ho was carried to the nearest farm house while a messenger was Immediately dispatched for surgeons. In a very short tlmo Drs. Reed. Swisher and McIIenry wero on hand and attended the man's injuries. Tbe physicians state that ho has one chanto out of ten to recover.

Mr. Reay and his son were there at the time, and wo are glad to know of tbelr escape from injury. In looking over tho paper we find an account of tho death of Rev. Stephen E. Barnwell, rector of St. John's P. E. Church, He was caught In the ruins of his house and ho and his little son were crushed, and then burn ed. Mr. Barnwell was in college with the writer, and it makes such terr'ble disas ters seem nearer homo when one reads familiar names among tho list of victims.

In the year 1883 the number of acres of seated land In Benton township was 11,099, valued at $141,850, or $13,12 per acre. Unseated land 118 acre, valued at $570 The num ber of acres of seated land In Fishlngcreek was 1502:2, valued at $181,764, or $11.03 per acre. Unseated land 3940 acres, valued at $5173. Tho number of acres ot seated land In Bugarloat was 12,185, valued at $59,388, or $4.83 per acre. Unseated 2331 acres, valued at $4,500 . It Is universally admitted that Fishiogcreek is a better town ship all through than Benton, yet In 1883 It was assessed 49 cents per aero higher than Fishlngcreek and $7 .24 higher than Bugarloaf. Subsequently valuations doub- eu and the uitlerenco In valuation per acre also doubled. These thrco tovtnthips aro adjoining townships and Fishlngcreek is in tho lead so far as relates to valuations. in which Benton was unJUBtly placed. We do not contend that any of the townships aro too low, but that Benton Is pre-eminent ly too high. During tho year 1889 tho ag gregate valuation of Benton, including pcrsonaljproperty was $359,232, or $30.70 per acre. Fisbingcrrek 's aggregate valua tion $405,605, or $29,80 per acre, lnclud. ing valuation of unseated land. Sugar. mars aggregato- valuation anu,is, or $14 70 per acre, Including valuation ot un seated land. Including the valuation ot unseated land Benton is assessed 90 cts. per acre higher than Fishlngcreek, and $10 per acre higher thai Bugarloaf Deducting tho valuation of unseated land from Fishlngcreek, Benton is assessed from $1.50 to 1,80 per acre on seated landhlgbcr than Fishiogcreek and from $17 to $19 higher than Bugarloat. Wo can furnish you with all the tcsli mony that you desire, that thero are 1000 acres ot seated land In Benton township that aro no moro valuablo than the samo number of acres ot unseated land. All we ak Is equal rights. Now let tho commis sioners put tbe abovo iu their pipes and smoke it and rave and foam to their heart's content. Before another Board of Commis sioners get through with a term of county finances Bonton township will havo secured her equal rights in equal taxation and don' you forget it. John O.

Thero has been troublo for tonio tlmo between Johnstown pcoplo and the Noitb Branch Bleel Com pany of this place over tho manufacture of an alleged steel rati, aud for soiuo tlmo litigation has been kept up. Parties have been sent hero disguised as workmen, and various attempts made to discover tho ex act method ot manufacture, but so far without success. This morning, at 2:80 o'clock, four men entered the drafting room at tho works, and opening tho safe, took from It drawings and plates of rolls used in tho making of rails. When they attempted to escape they ran Into tho arms of three detectives, who had posted themselves In regard to this at tempt, and were waiting to bag their game. Threo were arrested nnd placed in Jail. The fourth cecsped, but It Is said ho was drawing the others Into this clever trap. The burglars gave tbe names of Robert 8. Murphy, Henry 8bca and E.

When It is taken Into consideration that the Individual who takes a paper gets II for a mere song, tbo wonder Is that any should ne glect to pay for It, or not wanting It, should fall tu notify the homo offlco of that fact. As will bo seen by a ca'eful perusal of the de cisions of the United States Court on the subject, as recently compiled by Dr. Tuck crman Editor of tho Workman, at Cleveland, much trouble may be avoided and money saved. Here arc tbe decisions: 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary aro const lercd as wishing to rcnow their subscriptions. 2. If subscribers ordc tho discontinu ance of their periodicals, tho publishers may contlnuo to send them until all arrear ages aro paid. B. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from tho po9t-offlce to which they are directed, they are rcsponsl- ble until they havo settled their bills and ordered them discontinued. 4 If subscribers move to other places without Informing the publisher, and tho papers are sent to tho former address, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take periodicals from tho offlco or re moving and leaving them uncalled for is a prima fade evidence of intentional f raul. 6. If subscribers pay In advance they aro bound to give notice at tho end of the time if tlify do not wish to continue taking It; otherwise tho publisher is authorized to send it and tbo subscriber will bo responsi ble until an express notice, with the pay ment of all arrearages, Is sent to the pub lisher. The latest postal laws arc such that newspaper publishers nan arrest any one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for It. Under this law the man who allows bis subscription to run along for somo time unpaid and then orders it dis continued, or orders tho post-raastcr to mark It "refused," and havo a postal card sent notifying tho publisher, leaves hlm sclt liable to arrest and fine, tho samo as for theft.

The mountains of them melt away and grow again in the light of your liking, but probably not one in twenty of you realizes what a trade triumph it is that puts such goods within your reach lor so little. A round hundred of styles, stripes and plaids, big and little, jumb ed and ens-crossed into more of beauty than you'd think pos- ible. Plenty more of the Scotch Ginghams 40, 50, 60, 65, and 75c. Marvels of weaving as well as coloring, and on such cotton as only the canniest weavers can make from the finest fibre. There's a width saving on the Bordered Ginghams 42 inches wide, 8 or 9 yards ior a dress instead of 12- But you'd want them just the same if there wasn't. The last agony for style 60, 65, and 75c. batin rlaid Uinghams 40 and 50c. Chine Ginghams 60a Damasse Ginghams 50c. Jacquard figures 65c, pLin to match 40c; with three or more colors in the figures 75c. And the Gingham story isn't half told there's a Yankee chapter just as wonderful as the Scotch.

No excuse places. Full rounded in every particular, Long lines of black alhuool weaves, great in quantity, in beauty, in perfection of finish. Long lines of Black all-silk weaves. From the best looms of Lyons and Patterson each with its special excellence. Skip them both.

Comfortable, cosy, and as hand some a turnout as any baby need care for. Upholstered in either gendarme, olive, gamef, terra-cotta, or golden-brown.
