EBENSBURC. PA.,
FHIDAY, - - - - JAN. 27, 1882.
Tjik census of 1880 showed the entire
population of New York city to be 1,
20e,2t9. Of this number, 720,629 are
native born and 478,070, or a little over
one-third of the whole, are of foreign
birth. The Irish exceed all other na
tionalities, their number being "595,
while Germany coines next, with 153,
42. These figures disprove the asser
tion so often made that New York ia es
sentially a foreign city.
t'ONfiKKis has been in session eince
the first Monday in December. Keifer,
th speaker, kept it waiting two weeks
and more for the purpose of arranging
the standing committees, and in doing
so disgusted all the Democrats and over
two-thirds of the Republican members.
Then two more weeks were lost by ad
journing over the holidays, in order that
the members might visit their constitu
ents on fret passes and ascertain what
would be the popular thing for them to
do. Since their return most of the time
has ben consumed in trying to find out
who is the Republican leader in the
House, and in offering about four thou
sand bills embracing all imaginable pro
jects for consideration and final action.
"Go forth, my son, into foreign lands,"
said the Swedish chancellor, Oxenstern,
"and see with what little wisdom the
world is governed."
Jt'DOF. Porter lep;;in his address to
the jury on behalf of the proaecudion in
the Guiteau trial on Monday, and proba
bly got through on "Wednesday evening,
and certainly not later than yesterday,
so that a verdict may be expeeted before
the end of the weok. On Saturday Oui
teau delivered his speech to the jury, it
being substantially the same as the one
he published a week ago, and which
Judge Cox at first refused permission to
him to make. It is a most extraordina
nary spectacle to see a criminal deliber
ately arguing hid own infinity and mak
ing ajvery 3hrewd speech on the evidence
to prove it. 1. .S. Judge Porter con
cluded his sjH?ech at 3 r. sr. on "Wednes
day, after which J ridge Cox charged the
jury, and at ten minutes past 5 o'clock
they returned a verdict of guilty.
The Allegheny county Democratic
Committee, at its meeting on Saturday
last, adopted resolutions warmly en
dorsing Hon. James II. Hopkins, of
that county, as the next Democratic
candidate for Governor, and authoriz
ing him to select his own delegates to
the State convention. That portion of
the resolutions tmpnvering Mr. Hop
kins to appoint his own delegates not be
ing acceptable to several members of
the Committee, although nine-tenths of
the committee favored his candidacy, a
motion was made by one of his friends.
Dr. Wood, to reconsider the yote, which
was agreed to, and the duty of electing
the delegates entrusted to the district
conventions.which are called to meet on
Tuesday, the 14th of February. There
does not seem to be any doubt that Mr.
Hopkins will be supported by the entire
delegation from Allegheny county.
Rkbellion most foul has broken out
in tho Mahone camp in Virginia. Jno.
E. Massey, a man of acknowledged abil
ity and regarded as the father of the
Readjuster or Repudiation movement,
and who was elected Stale Auditor by
tho Legislature two years ago, wanted
to be re-elected by the present Assem
bly, but refused to permit Mahone's
caucus to dictate to him who his sub
ordinates should be. The caucus insist
ed upon its right to do so, whereupon
seven of Massey's supporters retired in
disgust, uttering loud threats of ven
geance, To-day (Tuesday) is the time
fixed by the Legislature for the election
of Ma-wy 's successor, but with what re
sult we cannot of course state. "When
the quarrel between these public plun
derers fairly begins, as it is certain to
do, the sequel will furnish another in
stance of the truth of the old adage,
that "when rogues fall out honest men
are likely to get their own."
It cannot but bo deeply gratifying to
ex-Gov. Horatio Seymour, of New York
in his declining years, to know that he
enjoys in a most eminent degree the un
qualified respect and esteem of all tho
people, irresrctive of party, in the
great Empire State. The undoubted
existence of this feeling of honest regard
and friendship, for a man whose whole
life has been pure and unsullied is abun
dantly illustrated by the warm admira
tion and regard for the distinguished
ex-Governor, as expressed by the public
press of his native State. He paid a
brief visit to Albany last week, and the
ning Journal, tho Republican organ
.at the State capital, referring to the
fact, says : "No man in the Democratic
party deserves or receives such honest
admiration as the sage of Dcerfield. A
Litter partisan himself while in author
ity, no man ever dared question the in
tegrity or intentions of Horatio Sey
mour. His declining years are sur
rounded by all tbat'inakes old age beau
tiful." '
That veteran Democrat, John Mc
Jveon, the newly elected District Attor
ney of New York city, don't believe in
traveling over a railroad on a free
pass, as he plainly indicated la3t week
by returning to the New York Central
and Hudson River Railroad Company a
pass which had been sent him, and
which was good on that road for one
year. In speaking of the matter to a
reporter Mr. McKeon said ; "If mem
bers of the Legislature would refuse
passes they would come liomo less fre
quently and stick more faithfully to the
duties that the peoplo entrust to them.
When I was in the Legislature I went
to Albany on the 1st of January and
tayed there until the 1st of May, when
I came home on the Crst boat that
ouM make its way through the thawed
Ice." It has been a long time since Mr.
McKeon was a member of tho Xew 1
York Legislature, and as the times
Lav changed somewhat since then, so
iiavt; men, especially members of State
Legislatures, changed with them.
ROBERT E. PATTISOS.
At the last Presidential election, Kob-
ert K. Pattison was re-elected Controller
of Philadelphia by a majority of 13,593,
and at the same election Garfield had a
majority of 20,560 in the same city. Mr.
Pattison is a Democrat, and owes his
re-election to the fact that he proved
himself to be an exceptionally able and
faithful officer, and also to the very im
portant fact that he was endorsed and
voted for by the independent Republi
cans fighting under the banner of re
form in the administration of the city
government. "With this flattering en
dorsement of him at the election refer
red to and the admitted integrity and
efficiency of his official record, a3 good
working political capital, Mr. Fatti
son's admirers in Philadelphia some
time ago conceived the idea that he
would make an irresistable candidate be
fore the people for Governor, and at
once put the necessary machinery in mo
tion to secure for him the forty-six del
egates from that city to the next Dem
ocratic State convention. The result
was that the Democracy of the eity di
vided into two hostile factions as they
habitually do, on advocating Pattison's
nomination and the other opposing it.
The contest over the delegates was a
warm and bitter one, and resulted last
week in the election of a majority of
the forty-six who are favorable to Tat-
tison's nomination. As usually hap
pens, a very large number of seats are
contested, and it is therefore impossible
to state Pattison 'a real strength in the
delegation though it is conceded that
he will have the larger portion of it.
"We legard it as very short sighted
and unfortunate for Mr. Pattison to al
low his name to be used under all the
circumstances ; nor can we regard the
men who have been conducting his pre
liminary contest as his wisest and best
friends. In his prescat attitude he is
not the candidate of the undivided Dem
ocracy of Philadelphia, a position which
any candidate from that city ought to
occupy, but he has permitted himself to
be made the candidate of a certain set
of men in Philadelphia who manage one
faction of the party. This is an inaus
picious commencement for him in the
race upon which he has entered, and is
not calculated to give him any special
strength in the remaining counties of
the State. Besides this. Mr. Pattison's
friends will hardly contend th.Uhewould
be supported by the independent Repub
licans for Governor, as he was for the
office of City Controller. And then, too,
he is a new man and comparatively un
known to the Democracy of the State,
his present candidacy being his first as
piration for nomination to a State office,
He is a young man yet, and tne accept
ed time for him to become the Demo-
cvatic candidate for Governor may pos
sibly be in the near future. He has
been twice highly honored by the tax
payers of Philadelphia in electing him
to a most responsible oflice, for the ex
press purpose of guarding and protect
ing their highest and best interests, and
a propf-r sense of gratitude outrht, in our
judgement, to suggest to him the pro
priety of fulfilling his part of the con
tract by serving out the remainder of
his oSlcial term.
No max in this country ever stooped
so low to bring about his nomination for
the Presidency as John Sherman did
prior to the meeting of tho Chicago con
vention in lsso. A colored man of ed
ucation and intelligence, Emerson by
name, and who was a clerk in the Treas-
ury Department under Sherman, appear-
ed before the Senate Contingent Fund
Investigating Committee one day last
week, and testified that in the summer
of 1JW0 he was sent to the South by
Sherman to work up delegations in his
(Sherman's) interest for the Presidency,
and that he was authorized to promise
Fede ral appointments wherever he eould
secure support for Sherman that he
went to Arkansas and consulted with
that fragrant statesman, ex-Senator
Clay ton. in whose control he was author
ized by Sherman to place certain govern
ment patronage-rori'fZcd Clayton would
agree to work for Sherman that he
found all the leading Republicans in
Arkansas, as well as wherever he went
in the South, favorable to Grant
that ho was swept away by the Grant
current that he went to Chicago and
electioneered for Grant, and that Sher
man bounced him out of office on the
very day he returned to Washington.
Ho further swore that in consideration
of being appointed naval officer at New
Oileans, that prince of gamblers and
colored statesman, Pinchback, agreed
to send a Sherman delegation from Lou
isianathat the man then holding the
office couldn't for some reason be remov
ed that Sherman then wanted Pinch
back to take another office that Pinch
back refused and organized a Grant del
egation from Louisiana. During the
decline and fall of the Roman Empire
tho Praetorian Guard was accustomed
to put up the imperial rurple at public
Rale, or auction, and knock it down to
th highest bidder ; and John Sherman !
sought a nomination for the Presidency,
by a liberal and corrupt use of govern
ment patronage. Wherein does the an
cient method differ in infamy from the
American or modern style ?
Samuel Bctlek, the present Repub
lican State Treasurer, has addressed a
letter to one of his political friends in
Chester county, in whieh he states that
lie lias concluded to become a candidate
for Governor before the apprroaching
Republican State convention, having
been assured, as he says, "by friends
from different parts of the State in whose
judgment I (he) have implicit confidence
that there is a public sentiment in my
(his) favor that would justify this ac
tion." The Pittbburg Ditpntch, which
is very independent in its attitude and
terribly in earnest in its hostility to Cam
eron ism, has a very strong impression
that Jiutler is simply a candidate for the
puriose of capturing a few delegates not
within the reach of Beaver and turning
them over to the candidate of the ma
chine when the proper time arrives.
The same paper, in referring to the fact
that on Saturday last the Lehigh coun
ty Republican Committee elected dele
gates to the State convention who are
"solid for Beaver," says that the Le
high Committee have contributed their
mite "toward forcing the nomination of
a complete Independent ticket."
The Supreme Court has fixed Febru

THE LMOS VETERA ' CORPS.
j A Union Veteran Corps, composed ex-
clusively of honorably discharged union
soldiers and sailors, of the Grand Army
of the Republic, will hold a military and
civic fair at Masonic Temple, in the city
of Washington, commencing February
27, 1882. The object of the fair is to
raise funds for the purpose of increasing
the numbers of the Corps. There is no
militia law and no provision for main
taining a military organization in the
District of Columbia, and the purpose
is to build up a first-class military com
pany in the capital of the nation. The
Corps embraces in its membership re
presentatives from nearly all the States
in the Union, as well aa from every
Corps in the army during the war. Con
tributions of money and articles of any
character are respectfully solicited, and
will be duly acknowledged through the
press and by mail. Contributions can
be sent to Hon. John W. Thompson,
Treasurer of the National Metropolitan
Bank, who is President of the Finance
Committee,which is composed of thirty
six of the best known citizens and busi
ness men of the District.
Season tickets for the fair, $1. Prizes
to the number of one-third the number
of season-tickets sold will be distributed
at the close of the fair among the ticket
holders. The prizes will range in value
from II to f300. All orders for tickets
from abroad will be promptly rilled, and
prizes drawu by ticket holders residing
outside the District will be promptly
sent to any address.
The Corps is under the patronage of
Hon. Robert S. Lincoln, Secretary of
War. and fifty other of the leading gen
erals and soldiers of the late rebellion.
The members of the Corps make a con
fident appeal to their comrades and
friends without reference to locaiity to
aid them in their efforts to build up and
maintain at the capital of the nation a
first-class military comrany. The ob
ject is one worthy of the attentiou of
every true friend and lover of the Union
ion who is able to contribute in any man
ner towards eatablishing a permanent
Union Veteran Corps at the seat of gov-
ernment.
WOISE AND WORSE.
The Irish news is mournful in what
ever aspect it may be viewed. Despite
the encouraging assurances of the min
istry as to the acceptance of the land
act, tho number of agrarian outrages in
creases. Fifty thousand British troops
are insufficient to stamp out the spirit
of destruction that public events have
bred on that "distressful" isle. There
are mutterings as to what will happen
whenParliament reconvenes. Gladstone
is to be harried more than ever, because
of the state of Irish affairs, by those
who would have ail dissent against Eng
lish measures crushed out by an iron
heel. Suppose for a moment that those
efforts should prove successful through
the aid of the Irish contingent of Par
liament, who would take the places of
the Liberal ministers ? By a logical
necessity, men who would go for eradi
cating from Ireland by fire and sword,
every symptom of enmity to British rule,
No other alternative remains. Glad
stone's ministry has filled the Irish jails
with political prisoners, yet seems to be
powerless to restore a reasonable degree
of peace and order in the infected dis
tricts. It lias now turned its guns up
on the Ladies' Land League. "What
more could a Tory minister do, except
to imitate the treachery and brutality
of Elizabeth's and Cromwell's time ?
Yet the English public daily evinces
more dissatisfaction at the turn of af
fairs in Ireland. This is not an omen
of good tor the latter country. Glad
stone, with a savage public opinion thus
far latent behind him, but gradually be
ing awakened into activity by Tory ap
peals for something effective to be done,
stands between two fires, the Tory bom
bardment and the Irish fusillade. Then
his merciful disposition and his desire
to deal justly lead him to concessions
which the Conservative critics term
weaknesses. The Irish policy is to
strengthen the hands of tho opposition
to the Liberal ministry, and so hasten
the inevitable conflict between the two
races. Earl Derby said some months
ago that no doubt could exist as to the
universality of the sentimeut for a sep
arate government, entirely free, enter
tained by Irishmen. This is the under
laying cause of the confusion and an
archy prevailing in parts of Ireland,
which some maliciously assert to be its
normal condition, the object being to
tire out England, and compel it by
sheer disgust, to give up its control over
tho Irish soil. This it will never do, and
when the conflict comes for English
supremacy it will probably prove as ter
rible and merciless as llaleigh's raids or
Cromwell's successes. Boston Tran
script. Some Divorce Facts. Divorce
statistics in England show one petition
in every 6w marriages, ana amiougii
the proportion has doubled in the last
few
r years, it is not to be comjiared with
divorce rate of Connecticut, where,
the
of Protestant marriages, one in every
eight is annulled by the Courts. But
although England has not yet reached
the rate of New England even in Mas
sachusetts the Protestant divorce rate
is one in fifteen it teems to be on tho
road. ThrJConnecticut omnibus law of
1S43
too
ed
permanently destroys the happiness of
the petitioner and defeats the purpose
of the marriage relation." As yet noth
ing of the kind is proposed in England,
but even under the existing law the
number of divorce cases has enormously
increased. In France, where the Re
publican party is pledged to legalize di
vorce, legal separations have gene up
from one in 371 marriages in 140-50 to
one in 1"0 in l.S.VJ-70. In Belgium the
ratio of divorces has risen from one in
576 in 1840 to one in 2W0 in 1x74. The
evidence as to the effects of the faculty
of divorce is singularly incomplete.
Strange to say, it seems to make little
or no difference in the average rate of
immorality. .South Carolina allows no
divorces. North Carolina has a divoice
law that is singularly lax, yet no one can
find the moral difference between the
two. Divorce is not legal in Franc e,
but Parisians are not more moral than
Bostonians, who annul one marriage'in
every fifteen. New York has the strict
est of divorce laws. Maine gives every
Judge liberty to divorce whom he pleas
es, yet is New York as pure as Maine ?
Whatever may be the result of social
morals, facility of divorce by seriously
threatens the family institution.

Dear McPike For a lonp time I had a
great anxiety to learn the cause of the Do
teral disaster last April, in the traitjhts of
Magellan, and at tins time, though somewhat
late, I am gratified to learn that the flisaster
was caused by zerciine siccntine. Tins ex
planation is entirely satisfactory.
Several snow storms have occurred in this
locality not such rude, blustering, boisterous
blizzards as were familiar here last winter,
b'.it aesthetic sort of snow torms quiet,
sweet, low-voired, restful affairs. Nature
has so far this winter been in one of her
amiable moods, and the season partakes
lareely of her genialty. The snow-flakes
drop gently and tenderly to the earth as
though they were freighted with heaven's
choicest blessings for us here below. Our
pleasant weather lasts well and so does tbe
winter stocks of our merchants, rendered
partly unsalable by its continuance, but It is
comforting to the merchants to think that
what they loose in business thev gain in fuel.
I wonder if they think of that. I bet thev

BNOBDOM ON ITS KNEES. j
Notwithstanding the awful rumor that the j
apostle of aestheticism was christened by the -i
unpoetical name of Oscar O'Flaherty, the
snobdom of Philadelphia came to its knees i
at his feet. The Wilde sunflower anostle '
appears in a fur-lined green coat which ex
cites tbe merriment of the unaesthetic class
of ladies. Xot only the merriment of un
aesthetic maidens is excited, but also their
curiosity, causing the inquiry : "Does th
green extend all the way tnrough ?" and
the general belief is that it does, It may not
be uninteresting to slender ladies to know
that Mr. Wilde's ideal of perfect beauty is
Sarah Bernhardt, whom he regards as th
realization of all his aesthetic dreams. He
says he would ask no higher earthlv delight
than to sit the whole live long night on the
door stoop of the house in which Sarah slept.
By the way, it is said that Mrs. Sarah Bern
hardt is threatened with another "accident."
I came very rear negleting to teil what may
be interesting to tbe young men of Cambria,
viz : That Oscar Wilde, besides his green
dress, adorns himself in a vellow dressing
gown with red cuffs, brown trousers with
red cords down his long legs, red silk stock
ings and an olive green ulsterette with a
mik fur collar and patent leather boots. I
take pleasure in making it known that since
the big Dutchman, of the artillery band, un
jointed his ophcleide and silently stole away
to a lager beer saloon, the Atlanta aesthetics
have had no worship, and have sent for Os
car Wilde. It !s much to be regretted that
this wayward young Wilde took the poetic
license of skipping Baltimore and putting
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Carroll, i.f Carrollton.
in a flutter. Every florist of Baltimore had
been deplicted of hi? stock of sunflowers to

MOKE DEMOCRATIC BLUNnEHINCW
Reckless ambition and injudicious counsel
have eaused troubles and quarrels among
the Democrats in many wards in this cltv.
At a time when the Democratic pfirtv should
be a unit which good work is needed on the
part of every Democrat Mr. Uobert K. Tat
tlson, a professing Democrat, foists himself
upon the party as a candidate for Govern or,
when he knows that the result would raise
quarrels and division in the Democratic
ranks. Ah the late Democratic ward con

in dividing and embittering the Democracy

to vindicate himself against "personal ene

curing the Philadelphia delegation to the
next Democratic convention in his interest
as a candidate fr Governor, has engendered
more ill feeling than ever before resulted
from Democratic blundering.
The Democrat will have no common ene
my to light in November next, and in no
county in the State arc the Democrats more
sensible of that fact than thos- ef Cambria
At the meeting of the Republican State
ComiBittce, a member of that body from
Cambria county, Hon. Henry A. Boggs,
made a declaration which was greeted by
long and loud applause, viz : "As for our
candidate, for Governor, it is only necessary
to have him photographed with his crippled
leg and crutches, and put a photograph in
each school house in the State, with his war
record pasted upon it, to get the unanimous
vote of the people." This speech, with the
endorsement it received, was a confession
that the whole committee regarded General
Beaver's nomination as a foregone conclu
sion. The action of the Republicans on tho
10th of May next will be a mere formality ss
far as the candidate for Governor is concern
ed. The Republican candidate for Gover
nor has already been nominated. Before
the meeting of the State Committee, a con
ference of Republican bosses was held at
Senator Cameron's house in Washington,
and General Beaver, one of the 306, who mis
represented the Republicans of his eountv
and vot?d 30 times for Grant at Chicago,
was then and there decided upon as the Re
publican candidate for Governor.
Now, since the Republicans nf Pemisvlva-
nia have chosen a soldier as their candidate '
ror wovernor, let the Democrats of Pennsvl
vanla, who have an abundance of soldier ma
terial, place a soldier candidate ou their
State ticket, either for (Governor or Lieuten
ant Governor. Major Moses Veale, of Phil
adelphia, has a war record unsurpassed by
any Union soldier in the State. Major
Veale, the hero of a dozen battles, with a
war record that eclipses that of General
Beaver, a citizen of unblemished reputation,
a cultivated gentleman, an able lawver and
an eloquent orator, would elevate the stan
dard and reflect character and credit on the

that while the annual aggregate circulation

The flexibility and terseness of the English

equally divides th newspapers of the world

there are men constantly inventing improve
ments. Its station-houses are almost all of
stone or brick, built to last in to the twenty
first century. Some of these station-houses
will probably be) seen five hundred r six
hundred years hence. A constant premium
is put on people living on the Pennsylvania
line. Trains between terminated points sel
dom or never stop at the suburban points,
which have their own svstem of trains, the
one never running into the other. The block
signal system is on their whole main system,
and they carried all the passengers to tho
Centennial Exhibition without the loss of a
life. .Wherever th Pennsylvania Railroad
enters it either sweeps away competition or
compels it to get up and dust itself. Polite-
rinun-ni muni; nil ti mir
! information is given to passengers.
Bess is enforced along all the line, and full
Mr. Vanderbilt knows that it will cost him
money to put his railway system on the Penn
sylvania basis, and heprohablv desicrned the
railroad war to affect the dividends of the
Pennsylvania Company, so that its stock
holders would make a fuss. He has not done
any of these things. The mild winter has
extended railroad building up to the present
time, and the two railroads through Middla
New York the Rackawana Extension and
Fludson River West Shore are making gal
lant time : while the Buffalo ami Chicago
Railroad at the other end, is hastening along
side by side with the Lake Shore. Mr. Van
derbilt has, however, invaded Pennsylvania,
if Mr. Gowen's triumph last week was due
to him. Yet the principal thing he can ac
complish there might be to reduce the Penn
sylvania's passenger traffic on the Jersey
lines which have to earn n big dividend, hav
ing been leased at a high figure. The Penn
sylvania svstem is so extensive, however,
that a deficiency at one point is made up bv
a surplus at another. Its termina' facilities
in the larger cities are magnificent. It is
building the last of its prominent depots in
Chicago. The Philadelphia station i. one of
the finest in the world, and is in tho very
centre of that citv, right under the Courts of
justice and the city offices. All trains from
New "i ork to the West and South run into

I Watermelons in Januaiiv. The family
! of Teter Matson. living near Burlington, N.
; J., eat watermelons for dinner every day,
I and expect to do so all winter. Matson laid
away melons during the season, preser
1 ving them by a process which le professes to
; hnve Invented, He varnished each melon
. all over and then pealed up the stem. Not
1 long ago he invited a number of his friends
! to dinner ami brought ont three large wnter-
melons for desert. His guests all united in
i saying that they never tasted more delicious
' melons even in tho regular season. The
news of Matson's preserving powers reach
) ed a large fruit-dealer in Philadelphia, and
; a representative of the dealer went to Bur
: ling'on and requested the privilege of tasting
j some of the fruit, lie pronounced them de
licious, and at once negotiated for fifty of
I the melons. Matson hesitated some time
j but has at last concluded to part with a por
i tion of his stock, as the price offered was
i very large. They are to be placed on ale at
fabulous prices in Philadelphia in a few
days. The dealer wants Matson to preserve
several thousand next summer or else sell
j him his process. Rocal physicians declare
: that the varnish usM to preveut the melons
! from spoiling is sufficient to have poisoned
j all thoo who have partaken of them, yet
the members of the fimily never enioyed

Five Peusons Burnet to Dmtb.-a
special dispatch from Clinton, M, says the
house of George C. Smith, at Lewis", five
miles north of that place, was burned at 9
o'clock Thursday morning, an l five of the
inmates perished, namely : Elizabeth Smith,
aged seventeen : Ra-hel, aged thirteen ; Ella, !
aged six ; Theodore, aged sixteen, and the !
mother, aged forty-three. The fire is sup- i
posed to have been started from Hot!.; I
hanging by the kitchen stove, or from a coal
oil explosion. Mrs. Smith was first to awa
ken, when she aroused her husband, who
mnd his escape with the little daughter; of a
neighbor, who was staying there for" the
night, and one of his own daughters, need
about eight. Smith and his daughter were
seriously burned. The house was a story-and-a-half
structure, nnd the'fnmily were'all
sleeping in the second story. Mr.'White. a
suitor of Elizabeth, was at the house after a
o'clock, and thinks that the fire caught in the
kitchen. Miss Smith was to have been mar
ried' in aTfew weeks. An inquest was held
and a verdict returned in accordance with
the above fact.. Mr. Smith was employed by
the Osage Coal and .Mining Company."
