'Joledo was plunged into darkness Christmas Eve, owing to a strike of electric linemen. All the lights were put out and the trolley wires cut. Travel was completely suspended and social events cut short. Major-General Snowden, com manding the National Guard has re ported very fully to the Governor con cerning the past year's operations, en tering very fully into the Homestead campaign and speaking highly of the work of the troops. H. Stanley Goodwin died on Christmas morning suddenly, at his home in South Bethlehem. He was the eastern Superintendent of the P. & R. railroad. From 1S60 to 1S63 he was Superintendent of the Cata wissa railroad, lie was made a Mason in Catawissa Lodge, and rose to the 33rd degree. WASHINGTON LETTEE Washington, Dec. 26, 1S92. Speaker Crisp was one of the few piominent democratic Congressmen who ate their Christmas dinner in Washington. This week he will go to New York for a few days, and there by hangs a tale, that is very discom forting to those gentlemen who have been working overtime concocting stories showing why President elect Cleveland would oppose Mr. Crisp's election as Sneaker of the ' next House. Mr. Crisp goes to New York upon Mr. Cleveland's personal in vitation to confer with the president elect about legislation that is to come before the present 1 louse , the extra session question and the organization of the next House ; and now the question is being asked, why should Mr. Cleveland wish to confer with the Speaker if he is opposed to his rc election by the next House ? It seems to be a repetition of the old story somebody went oil half-cocked. The populist members of Con gress from Kansas have evidently heard from home. At first they were discreetly silent about the alleged candidacy of Mrs. Lease for the Senate: now they openly ridicule it, characterizing it as simply a re publican scheme to make the popu lists ridiculous. Senator Hill is a member of the Senate committee on Immigration, and he does not agree with the ideas of the maioritv of that minimis na to the legislation necessary. He will soon atter the reasssmb insr of ( in gress present his views in the shape of 1 minority report and will either m xoduce a new bill or offer 'an amend- lent to the Chandler bill, nrovidinn- , ' 1 - - - o or one vear s snsner.sinn nf imniin-rnt. ion, when that measure is taken" up by the Senate. The joint House and iaenate Immigration committee h bne sub committee now on its way to .uoa ana anotlier consu timr with Treasury officials, both aftr informa tion 10 ue marie use ot when the mmigrations bids are taken up by congress. The House and Senate Omiriitltesare workinir harrnnnirinslv 11 this matter, and so far politics has keen k ;pt out of it. Th. rmU- nestion with members ot all parties eing, what is the best thinn to do ? There is coiner to be so-n ' Uvhv nancial music in Congress when it ts together again, but it is noL vet ertain who is going to do the dancing fhe pressure for a suspension of the prchase of the 4,500,000 ounce of Jur lllilllnr, i.l,i..k U.. i: r.. vu.i.uu, niuuii me oecieiaryoi e Treasury is compelled under the Uerrran law to buy every month, is lormous. Air. Harrison and us en. e cabinet favor the suspension, and, is said, that Mr. Cleveland has also id to more than one di mricr.iM.- mgressman that it o.ught to be stop-id- Letters bv the hundred are nt- I veil at the Treasury Department iy day, from merchants and bankers over the country, urging the im diate suspension. It cannot be fended, excent iv action nf PVm. jss, and the attempt to bring about ;t suspension, either by the passage Senator Hill's bill for an outright repeal of the Sherman law, or by the adoption of Senator Mcpherson's re solution authorizing the President in his discretion to suspend the pur chase of silver bullion, will bt the signal for the music to begin. The free coinage men say they do not propose to allow any suspension of the purchase of bullion, unless a free coinage bill be passed. Notwithstanding recent extraord inary efforts of the republicans to de feat the will of the people, it is the general belief here, republicans in cluded, that the democrats will organize and control the Senate of the next Congress. Both those who oppose and those who favor the proposed amendment to the World's Fair act, of the last session, allowing the exposition to be opened on Sunday, claim to have polled the House, and both sides claim to have a majority of votes uledged. It is going to be a red hot filit and four (lays 10, to 13, of January, inclusive have been set a part by the House F.xpoiition com mittee to hear arguments for and against I he proposed amendment. It is the impression of experienced observers of things Congressional that the amendment will be adopted by a small margin in both House and Senate, but there seems to be 1 doubt as to whether Mr. Hairison will ap prove. Strange to say the most of the opposition to Senator Vest's bill directing the Postmister General to make a ten year contract for carry ing the mails, at existing Kites, with the proposed Chicago and St. Louis electric railway, as soon as that com pany is ready to guarantee that they shall be transported at a speed ol not less than 100 miles an hour, comes from those who fear accidents to travellers at that high rate of speed. Queer argument, that, fer this rushing age. It looks row as though Mr. Blaine niiyht ,;et well again. For neatly a week he has improved. His family and friends have grown very hopeful, and his physicians -say nothing. Nothing so distressing as a hacking Cough. Nothing so foolish as to suffer from it. Nothing so dangerous if allowed to continue, One Minute Cough. Cure gives immediate relief W. S. Rishton, Druggist. 10-ij-iy TEE STATES EEVENUE. A CHEERING STATE OF AFFAIRS MS CLOSED HY THE TREASURER'S RETORT. Before the retirement of Governor Pattison from office Pennsylvania will practically be out of debt. Ac cording to the annual statement of State Treasury Morrison and Auditor General Gross; the ret debt at the close of the li.-cal year ended Novem ber 30 last was fj.o.coJ.!;-;, The debt is being reduced ;it the rate of! near.y a million and a half dollars annually, while the ordinary receipts from taxes are largely increasing. Although an increase of $3,000 000 was paid to the school districts of the State last year, there was a bJance in the general fund of the State Treasury on November 30 last of S5'39Vo'.-S6 The receipts from all sources last year were not as large as during the twelve months ended on November 30, 1891, but the difference is due to the large amount then re ceived from the national government and favorable litigation. The receipts last year were $10,-748,759-oS, while the payments aggregated $11,726,968.68. The State debt was reduced $1,417,106 and $375,223.46 were paid to defray expenses incident to Mie Homestead riots. The winds from the North blows shatp and keen, and bad effects of colds arc seen.

Passengers who went up to Wilkes Barre on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western train last Saturday after noon from Bloomsburg tell of a pitiful scene which met their gaze as they swiftly rolled by in the Irani. A little above the Nanticoke Brirlge they no ticed a man walking across the river on the ice. when he suddenly broke through an I nothing could be seen but his head and shoulders. There was no person on either side of the bank and it is supposed that the man went under the ice and was drowned. Deserving Praise. We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, Dr. King's New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled re medics that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to re fund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popular ity purely on their merits. C. A. Kleim ,Dtuggist. HOBGOBLINS A BLESSING. Infant W hom Pays nrc Hmtntrd ty Ount.i mill Rear.

To draw upon my own recollections, my childhood was Aauntod by bears.

Knrly Hull way Traveling. Tho first regular train service in this country commenced on the Liverpool aud Manchester Railway on Friday, September 17, 1830, two days after the opening of the lino. It was not on a very ambitious scale; three trains each way 011 week days aud two on Sundays were deemed quite sullieieut. The nov elty of the thing, however, at first, aud vory soou its proved safety aud effici ency, led at oueo to a much larger traf fic than had been anticipated, aud as tho company could obtain rolling stock thu bcrvitiu was increased. For a time the people who hud ventured to risk their lives by tho now mode of con veyance were the objects of admiration for their courage or of contempt for their foolhardiuess; but one by one tha conches had to bo taken oil' tho road and everybody weut by rail. Tho time occupied in the journey was at first more thau two hours, and often less, the distance being; thirty-ouo mile3 but even this rato was too fast for some people, for u gentleman, writing about sis weeks after tho opening of tho hue, says tho speed was too great to be plea aut aud caused him to feel some what fcidJy. The traveling was not very comfortable undoubtedly; tha couches were at first only coupled with chains, as wagons are now, so that they jerked tho unfortuuato passengers nearly off their Beats at starting and clashed violently aguiust each other when the driver put on his brake. When fairly in motion, if the apeed wa3 any but the slowest the very short wheel base produced a pitching action bo trying that if tho journey had not been a short one it would have seriously affected tho popularity of the railway as a means of passenger transit. Corn hill Magazine. Tli Ono-Crnt Coin. Few of the present generations have any knowledge how the preseut one cent piece cumo into circulation. Prior to tho civil war the coin which repre sented one cent weighed exactly half an ounce. There were plenty in circula tion for the population at that time. But when the war broke out it seemed as if coins of all denominations Lad been swullowed up. Tokens of various i kinds were made first of cardboard I tUen of metal. 1 A small coin about the sizo of tha preseut one-cent piece was produced, tiuviug upon it various devices such us " Not one-cent," ' Good enough for do fence," " Our country forever." From six hundred to oue thousand vaiiedos of these tokens were made and issued. As they were tukeu to represent a cent by everybody, those who had cop per enough on baud, nud could m-i.in or procure moulds or dies, realized a good profit from the making und i-sit-ing of these tokens. Tho si.'u j.iid weight were convenient, ami the Ui. i.e.. States Government saw that thu peo.o were better pleased with tho r.i.uii.er piece, although comparatively VH.hn ie.sf,, than with tha one-half ounce coin. As the object was to keep thu s:' sidiury cii is in the country, and at. tue peojde wire contout to use tnu snni'ier pieces, the experiment was tried in 1110 issue of the "turkey buzzard" mixed niekel cent. They were larger, thicker, and heavier than the preseut cunt, and did not please as well as the tokens li id pleased. After trying two or three is.
