Prlmai y election, Saturday, June 10, a to 7 p. m.
Admiral Dewey cays that he will
not accpt the nomination for Presi
dent under any consideration.
xuc oeiiaiuriai contest is un
changed. It is probable now that
the Legislature will adjourn with
out electing a United States Sena
tor.
Senator Quay's trial is now go
ing on in Philadelphia. It was
opened on Monday morning before
Judge Biddle. There are seven
Republicans and five Democrats
on the jury.
This morning's city pacers bring
the news cf a terrible battle between
105 American and British sailors
and rebels of the Somoan Island.
Four Americans and two British
marines were killed. It is not de
finitely known, but it is probable
that the rebels lost fifty men. It is
said, that the occurrence was pro
moted by a German planter, and
that the tragedy took place on his
ground. A demand has been made
for his release, but it has been re
fused. Complications of a very
serious character may yet arise over
the matter. The situation is con
sidered extremely critical.
A bill creating a new court for
Philadelphia, with three judges has
passed the Senate. They already
have twelve judges there, most if
not all of whom have declared that
there is no necessity for this addi
tional court. A large majority of
the bar and nearly all of the leading
newspapers are opposed to its cre
ation. Notwithstanding this, the
Senate has passed the bill. What
the House will do remains to be
seen. Should it become a law the
Governor will have the appointment
of the three new judges. It is said
that he will appoint two Quay Re
publicans and one Quay Democrat
so that the new court will be noth
ing more than a political pull for
Quayites. As Governor Stone has
declared his intention to veto all
bills that unncessarily take money
out of the treasury, we do not see
how he can approve a measure that
the people of Philadelphia do not
want, and which will cost the stats
$15,000 a year, and the city of
Philadelphia many more thousands
His action will be a test of his sincerity.
Governor Stone is having a hard
time to fill the vacancy on the Sup
reme Bench caused by the death of
Justice Williams. He first offered
it to D. A. Watson of Pittsburg, a
Democrat, who declined it. Now
he has tendered the appointment to
Hon. S.P. Wolverton of Sunburv.
who has not yet decided what to do.
Mr. Wolverton's fitness for the
place 111 every way is unquestioned.
He is one of the ablest lawyers in
Pennsylvania, anc his practice is
worth several times over what the
salary of a Supreme Court Judge
amounts to. Should he accept it,
there is no good reason why he
ought not to receive the nomination
for the same position at the Demo
cratic State Convention, and yet it
seems quite certain that any Demo
crat who accepts an appointment
from Gov. Stone will meet with
strong opposition in the convention.
The Governor is 111 a dilemma.
If he appoints a Republican to the !
place, he will offend a laree number
of other Republicans who want it.
! And if a democrat accepts the ap
pointment the chances of defeat in
the Democratic convention are
strongly against the appointee. The
best way out of the difficulty is for
the Governor to wait until after the
Democrats have made their nomina
tion, and then appoint that nominee
to the place. There could be no
objection to his acceptance then.
STATE NEWS ITEMS.
Hazleton business men have reg
istered a protest against the removal
of the postoffice from its present lo
cation. The lifeless body of Cyrus M.
Bower, of Williamsport, who was
struck by a train, was found dangling
from the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad bridge, which spans the Loy
alsock creek.
At a meeting of the local board
of trade, of Lancaster, a resolution
was adopted requesting the members
of the Legislature to oppose the pass
age of the bill now pending which
proposes to increase mercantile tax.
John Wallen has been missing
from his home in Royersford since
March 27. On that day he started
out to look for work, saying he would
return on the following day, but his
wife has heard nothing from him
since.
Andrew Carnegie, the steel king,
has made an offer to the Woman's
Club of McKeesport to donate $50,
000 to erect a library and music hall
in that city, the proviso being that the
citizens shall secure the site for the
building and maintain it, which, he
thinks, would cost about $3,000 a
year. A site has already been donated
by Biddle B. Coursin for the proposed
building.
After inspecting and deliberating
for three weeks on the various sets of
plans for the proposed new Court
House, at Wilkes-Barre, in consulta
tion with an advisory committee, com
prising the members of the Luzerne
bar, the County Commissioners on
Friday decided to accept the plans
submitted by Architect F. J. Oster
ling, of Pittsburg. The new building
will cost half a million dollars.
Largest Switch Plant in the World-
What is described as the largest and
most complete switch and signal plant
ever constructed is being installed at
the new South passenger station at
Boston. Twenty-eight tracks in the
terminal are to be controlled from this
station. Under the old system of
levers connecting, throuuh movahle
roads, with the switches
this station would require a building
fully 130 feet long, and 160 levers.
with nine men to work them, thus
greatly increasing the possibility of
error. The system adopted, however,
is one in which compressed air plays
an important part, and with its use
only three men will be required to
direct the 5,000 or 6,ooo train
movements daily, which will be the
rule when the yard is in full operation.
uisuostons pride that no other
station in the world presents in its
track system such facilities for moving,
simultaneously or otherwise, so large a
number of trains.
This Fellow Evidently Admires the Girlr.
A Freeland young man who joined
Uncle Sam's fighters two months a?o

atmosphere of suppressed profanity
and tobacco smoke, and at the end of
tiiree weeks you would be passionately
enamored with the mummy of an
Egyptian servant girl and give her an
electrical kiss that would turn ooo
years of dried flesh into life."
Quite a Difference-
There is some difference between
Democratic and Republican rule
the state of Pennsylvania. It is shown
when we look at the condition ol ti e
state's finances. Robert K. Pattiscn
retired from the office of Governor in
January, lane. 1 Here was then in
the state treasury a surplus of between
$6,000,000 and $7,000,000. At the
present time the surplus is tone and
in stead there is a deficit amounting
to $5,000,000. Quite a difference te
tween Democratic and Republican
methods of administration, judging
irom financial conditions.
'FIGHTING" GUY HENRY.
How, TVIim unit Wlior II Won Bit Hick-
name.
"You can depend on It, 'Fighting
Guy' will gee to It that the troops un
der his command have the finest bar
racks on the Island of Porto Rico," re
marked Major George C. Crager, late
Cnited States special Indian agent, be
fore a number of Phlladelphlans who
were discussing the future welfare t
tho United States forces In the An
tilles. "That Is General Henry's reputation
In army circles," continued Major
Crager. "Whenever there Is any
trouble that needs straightening out,
'Fighting Guy' Is sent there."
"How did he get the name of 'Fight
ing Guy?'" asked one of Major Crag
er's guests, and the major thereupon
proceeded to enlighten them.
"In the Sioux campaign General
Henry led a battalion of the Third
cavalry against Crazy Horse, the In
dian chief. In this battle the general
was shot In the face. He was carried
off the field, and it was thought he
would die. He pulled through, how
eyer, and In order to regain his health
he was sent as commandant to a Cali
fornia post. There he was entirely TP
stored, and since then has been en
gaged In every Indian outbreak.
"His latest achievement was tils
coming to the relief of the Seventh
cavalry In the Ill-fated battle of
'Wounded Knee,' South Dakota, on
New Year's day, 1891. General Henry,
with his four companies of the Ninth
or colored regiment, marched from
Fort Robinson, Neb., to Fine Ridge
agency, S. D., a distance of 198 miles,
In a day and three-quarters. They
had little or no rest, and the most pe
culiar part of the entire Journey was
that upon the arrival at their destina
tion not one of the general's soldiers
had a sore-back horse. The only stop
they made was at White Clay Creek,
where they dismounted, and coffee and
hardtack were issued to them. From
there they marched on to the agency
without Interruption. On their arrival
at the agency news was sent out to
them by couriers that the Seventh cav
alry wns hemmed In by the Indian
forces, and but for the timely arrival
of (at that time) Colonel Henry there
would have been a repetition of the Cus
ter massacre. Before that time the
Seventh cavalry always entertained a
sort of antipathy against the Ninth
on account of color prejudice, but
there was not a man that day who
would not gladly have embraced bis
dusky rescuers all the way down the
line.
"The name of 'Fighting Guy' Was
fastened upon Colonel Henry when he
led the charge against the Sioux in
1S76. He was the only commander
who dared lead a small band of deter
mined men against an army of well
armed Indians. Upon his return to
camp after capturing a band of Sioux
under command of Roman Nose, the
then leader of the Uncapapa Sioux,
General Henry was congratulated, and
one of the number of Crow scouts who
had been enlisted for this campaign
nicknamed him 'Fighting Guy. Since
then the name has stuck to him In
army circles, Just as the name of
'Fighting Payuaster' adheres to Gen
eral Thad. H. Stanton, the only pay
master on record that has seen active
service."
"Pride Goeth
"Before a Fall"
Some proud people think
they have strong constitu
tions, and ridicule the idea
of disease. Such people
neglect their health, let the
blood run down, and their
stomach, kidneys and liver
become deranged.
Don't be foolish about your health
Use Hood's Sarsaparilla and you will
prevent the fall and save your pride.
8orof ulous Hip Disease - " My boy
Willie had scrofulous hip disease from
baby. Abscesses developed. Months at
the hospital, with best treatment, did no
good. They said he would never walk
again. He was helpless and wusted away
to jiothiiiK but skin and bone. Hood's
Sarsaparilla bad helped me, uud I kuvo It
to him. Imagine my delight at a wonder
mi change. Abscessus all healed, crutches
thrown away, lie Is now tull and stout,
perfectly well and the thanks are all duo
to Hood's Sarsaparllln. Other mothers with
crippled children should know this." Mks

Nervousness-" I was weak, nervous
and very UulU-aiu, stHKKered In attempting
to walk. Hood's Saraapurilla and Hood's
