Attorney A. G. Totter of Selins-
crove, who received such terrible in
juries in a railroad accident last win
ter, is again able to practice ins pro
fession. He has been elected a dele
gate to the next Republican State
Convention, and other honors arc
being bestowed upon him by his fel
low- citizens.
W. E. Housworth Esq., Fish Ward
en for tins section of the Mate, is
makinc arrangements to brine suit
asainst the coal companies who use
the river for their dumping grounds.
Unless this is stopped the time is not
far dintant vhen there will be no fish
in the Susquehanna. At this t'une
the coal cut is rapidly forming th
bed of the river, as far as the East
side of Burns' Island We wish Mr,
Housworth the utmost success in his
undertaking. Xelinvgrouc Tribune
The oiien contest for the control
of the next Republican State Con
vention between the adherents of
Governor Hastings and United States
Senator Qaay is attracting the atten
tion of politicians all over the State.
The formal declaration of war by
the tioverror seemed to have a para
lyzing effect upon the Republican
managers. In many instances they
stood mute, and were unable to tell
just "where they were at." Some
time will ue required for these men
to coliect their wits, and then the
declarations will come as to which
king thev will serve under.
Wages Still Advancing.
It is hard to keen tab on all the
increases in the rates of wages; but
the country will not fail to note with
particular interest the announcement
posted esterday by the Johnson Steel
Company, of Lorain, O., of a volun
tary advance ol 1 5 per cent, in cer
tain of its departments, with the
. additional .statement that all of the
departments will be given an increase

and cvtry branch is running to its full
capacity." The best of it is that the
activity thus disclosed is no tempo
rary summer spurt, as the New York
Times said yesterday:
"The railroads alone need iron and
steel enough to keep the manufactur
ing plants busy for more than a year,
but so far demand has been largely
for manufact'iring and structural pur
poses.
In s'noit, the iron outlook is aglow
villi pioini.se; and it is inevitable that
the prosperity which has come upon
it wi(h u rush will extend to all the
network of related industries. Aff

Tie Smallest Commonwealth.
IT IS A Mll.E IN DIAMETER AND HAS A
FOH-I.AITON OK 55 l'ERSONS.
The smallest commonwealth of the
world is the little republic Tavolara,
iijion the little island of the same
name, situated some seven or eight
miles south of the Island of Sardinia.
T i r , i 1
j avoiara is an lsiana auout one mile
in diameter and inhabited at present
len. In 1836 Karl Albert, then king
of Sardinia, bestowed the supremacy
over this little isle upon the Barto-
leoni family, and for 46 years, "King"
Paul I reigned in peace in his do
main. He died on May 30, 188a,
and shortly before his demise called
all his faithful subjects to his bedside
and declared it to be his earnest de
sire that none of his relatives could
succeed him as the head of Govern
ment in the island, but that he con
sidered it for the best that the good
ppople of Tavolara should govern

memseives. Alter this last wish no
candidate for the vacated throne
could be found among the family of
the deceased, who were used to con
sider their "King's" wish law, and the
little island remained ungovemed for
four years. At last, in i836, the
little island was declared a republic.

A hvely contest is being waged tor
the new judgeships. The Governor
has received upward of hlty applica
tions, some ot the candidates being
among the most prominent politicians
in the State. Although Governor
Hastings has given no intimation as
to whom he will appoint it may be
said with certainty that the appointees
will be as follows :
Tudce Wyckham, Beaver i T. Hay
Brown, Lancaster; E. N. W illard,
Scranton ; ex-Governor Tames A. Bea
ver, Bellefonte ; ex-Tudee Howard
Reeder, Easton ; George B. Orlady,
Huntingdon, and Henry J. McCarthy,
of Philadelphia, the latter a Democrat.
RELIGIOUS 11 ARB MIX.
The Religious Garb bill will be
taken up this week by Governor
Hastings for final consideration. This
measure has excited more interest
than any other passed by the recent
Legislature. It is advocated by the
patriotic societies, and a strong pres
sure is being brought to bear upon the
Governor by these orcani.ations to
have the bill become a law. The
Governor was at first inclined to favor
the proposition, but the opposition to
it from the Mennonites and Dunkards
is so pronounced that it is practically
settled that he will veto it. These
people claim that if the bill should be
come a law it would torce tneir cnna
ren out of the public schools because
of the simple dress which they wear.
It is believed that the Governor wi
take the broad ground that the bill is
unconstitutional because it discrimi
nates against certain religious sects.
Th Ouay County bill is also in
danger of being vetoed. The general
objection is that within the next twen
ty years the coal lands in the territory
of Schuylkill and Luzerne counties
out of which it is proposed to create
the new county, will be outworked
and that the large population will be
materially decreased. I he Governor
friends also say that the population in
the proposed county is made up prin
cipally of foreigners, of whom not
more than ten per cent, pay taxes.
When the mines are abandoned the
people will drift to other localities and
the burdens of the county government
will fall upon the agricultural classes.
General News.
An appeal has been issued to the
women of the South for funds with
which to build a monument to the
mother of General Robert E. Lee.
An association formed for the purpose
has the matter in charge. It is pro
posed to erect the monument in the
churchyaid of Christ Church, Alexan
dria, Va,
Secretary Hoke Smith, of the In
terior Department, has restored to the
pay rolls ot the Pension Orlice the
name of Miss Elizabeth Key, grand
daughter of the author of "The Star
Spangled Banner." Miss Key's name
was dropped some time ago, and
newspaper protests came in Irom all
over the country. As Miss Key is
the only support of an old mother, her
restoration will meet with general ap
proval. The town of Hiawatha, Kansas, has
adopted a most unselfish plan by which
it will celebrate the anniversary of the
nation's birthday. It has decided to
dispense with the festivities which had
been arranged for the Fourth of July
this year, and to give the money which
would have been spent in the celebra
tion for the relief of a destitute colony
of Illinois immigrants and other needy
residents ol the vicinity.
The impulse lately given to gold
mining has infused new life into many
desertd towns and abandoned camps
in the West. In 1861 the camp of
Florence, Idaho, had a population of
30,000 people, and everything that
goes to the making of a city. It was
a placer camp, and gold was plentiful
But the supply soon became exhausted.
and the miners would not take the
time and exercise the patience to
work quartz. The camp was then
quickly deserted. Recently, however.
good quartz ledges have been discov
ed in that locality, and the abandoned
town again shows signs of life.

shook the valley for 35 miles
and caused a loss of $40,000. It is
supposed to have been touched oil by
a firebug.
It was located in the Catawissa al
ley, four miles from here. No lives
were lost so far as is known. 1 he
village of Ringtown, two miles from
the scene of the disaster, suffered
terribly. The inhabitants were thrown
from their beds and some tied from
their houses in terror. There is to
day not an unbroken window glass in
the town, and many of the houses are
so badly wrecked that they will have
to be abandoned until repairs are
made. 1 he home of L. . Ivrebs, a
farmer one mile distant, is almost a
complete wreck. Doors and shutters
were torn from their fastenings and
broken into kindling wood. The
plaster fell from the walls, and even
the furniture was hurled about in all
directions. Half a dozen other homes,
also close by the Krebs residence, are
badly shattered. Some of the people
there were slightly injured when
thrown from bed. In Shenandoah,

the fearful shock. Many ran out upon

been put into operation on May 1
It is completely demolished, as are
the out buildings at the place.
Mr. ParuWs Claim,
Ex-County Commissioner Joseph
Pardoe, who is now a resident of
liloomsburg, threatens to sue this
county to recover about $100, which
he paid as street car fare to and from
his Northumberland home and the
Commissioners' office. He claims
that the Act of Assembly allows him
expenses in traveling from his horn
to the office. His son, Howard Par
doc. who is practicing law at llalc
ton. will conduct his case.
Mr. Pardoe was Vt minority inem
ber of the Board of Commissioners
that preceded Messrs.. Zcrbc, Cope
and Lindner. Shortly after his elec
tion he moved from his farm in Chil-
lisquaque township to Northumber
land. He patronized the street cars
and the steamboats. He is willing to
compromise his claim for $14, pay
