:bnsourc. pa.. FRIDAY, - - MARCH 7, 1S00. In the Souate at Washington, on Monday, the MM increasing the sala ries of United Siates District JaJges from 54 000 to S3.00U per annum was passed. Es!ovEitNou James E. Enolisii, of New IlaTen, Connecticut died at bid borne in that city on Sunday last, aged 7S years. Ex-Governor English was three timrs Gortrnor of Connecticut and in 1SG7 was the only Democratic Governor in the United States. ViinV tha approval of the constables bonds was taken up by the Court at Pittsburg, on Monday, Judge Ewicg made the announcement that be and Judge Siagle, were of the opinion that constables elected In lSt) held cffice for three years ; therefore, the election held this year in the townships and boroughs for constable was no election at all. A mile a minute was made on Thursday of last week by the engineer of the Central FaciGc west-bound fast mail In an effort to reach the water tank at B'ue Creek, thirtr-three mites west of Ogden, Utah, in tims to extin guish the flames devouring a very valu able through mail car, United en route. Six minutes could not save it, however, and the car, with its 153 Backs, was totally consumt-d. The passengers were greatly excited during the short, swift run. The proposal to erect a monument to Wo. Henry Harrison, who was Presi dent for one month, says the Pittsburg Times, i: publican,) comes rather late. His best service was rendered when he wa Governor of the Great Northwest, fighting the Indians aad manifesting high civil and military qualities. His grandson, the President of the United States at the present time, will or will not baye a monument, as some future Congress shall determine. At present there is no such thought. The S'.ate Revenue Commission will hold a snnlou at INrrisourg on toe IStb instant, when farmers will have an opt port unity to turu out iu force to make known their grievance against the present tax law. The Commission has already held a session in Philadelphia. It is a difficult matter to formulate a tax law to suit all classes of the people oi this State. Perhaps a movement in the right direction is now being made to draft a bill to remove the burdens com plaiuni of by farmers and ether let. -rested parties, 1 1 b eubmirf-d t the next legislature for itj consideration. The evemrul fall of the British House of Lords is Bgaic foreshadowed in the announcement that the Govern ment conUmplatts Introducing once more at the text se-ticu cf Parliament the b!ck sheep bill, the otj-ct of which is to keep out of the upper House those peers who are a discredit to their order. The till will differ from others. In that it will invest a committee of the House, cor sisting of judicial peers and certain lay peers, with the power of penal discipline over the Ilousi of Lords. The action of the committee will be the subject of confirmation or rejection by the Hnus itself, tut il the bill is literally construed upon the lines designated the membership of the House of Lords will be materially de creased. All the proceedings of the Ways and Means Committee of the House, says the Chica Htrall,, indicate that it is the inttntit n of the party not to dimin ish Uxation, but to increase it to the very v.rge of a revolution. With the J Republicans taxation is a ratchet wheel which turns only one way, and that way forward. The truth is that this sudden and exorbitant increase of taxation is absolutely necessary If the Republican policy of administering the Governmeut Is to be carried cut. This policy, if it can be digniGed with that ' name, is simply to enrich with public aiS"5ct in In Huse dunog plunder every member of the rarty. In lhe Forty-ninth atd F.ftietn Con order to do this it is proposed to steal Prt,9S?8. the victim, and Charles all the money now in the Treasury, and j K'Dca'd lhe Washington correspondent all that can be got into it during the present Administration. TEorLE who travel will be !nterest ca in a recent decision made Ly the Su preme Court of Nebraska. A man who occupied a terlh in a car went out to get breakfast, leaving his overcoat In his seat, and when he returned round it had been stolen. He recovered the value of the coat, the court holding that the sleeping-car company renders a service similar to that of a hotel keeper, and Is subject to the same liabilities Articles carried by a traveler, and nec essary to his comfort, when placed in the care of the company's employes are at the company's risk. The question is one that has not been passed upon in many States, but this declsior. will be quoted as a rrededent in any future cases. It certainly set-ms a jnst protec tion to the traveling public. A fire broke out in the Rock Tun nel of the Sooth Willkeabarre Colliery In Luzerne county, Pa., on Monday evening, and eight men who were work ing there were cut off and Imprisoned. The day shirt of men had just come out snd the night shirt had gone down. SeVf n men were working in a gangway off the tunnel, Rhea Thomas Jameson, the driver boy, started in with his two mules to bring out their loaded cars. He bad not got fiye hundred feet from the bottom of the shaft wheu the caked light he carried on his head tired a heavy blower of gas, which wasescap ing from a crevice ia the coal. The flame was strorg, and hi a few minutts the dry, half rotten timber of the sides and roof had caught Sre i.nd were in a liiht blaze, Jameson started to warn ; the men of thiir dagger but did not get j proposition will be to pay the entire back, He with the cthtr 6t:veii men ( State debt, amounting from S10.0U0, are shut in by a wall or fire Bud ; ' 000 to Jlr2.000.000. The lotterv is earn. although, rescuing parties Lave been at work ever since, the men have not teen reached aud there is very little hope of their being reached alive. It is lh intention of the Democrats in Congress to have the action of the Republicans in unseating Democratic members tested In the Courts. Mr. PeDdleton, ol tVest Virginia, who was unseated in discussing the situation on Monday said : "The action In turning me out was clearly unconstitutional. A member is unseated by the House, and the quorum consists of 166 mem bets, not 1C2. There are two ways and two places in which the Question of constitutionality may be brought up. Suit can either be brought in the Su preme Court or in the Court of Claims. The proceedings can be quo-warranto in nature, and based on a call to the Speaker to show cause why be prevents me from exercising the privileges of a member. A suit for salary can aieo be entered. In either event the question for settlement will ba whether the Speaker has a right to declare a mem unseated without a quornm." The Democrats say that they will not bring suit until Mr. Atkinson the member seated in place of Mr. Pendleton votes on some bill which becomes a law, and then they will make the point that it is unconstitutional. Admiral Sdcfeldt, of the;Unlted States Navy, tel.s how the Russians are filching territory from the Chinese; on the boundary between Siberia ; and China. The means of communication are so poor in China and. the avenues of news are so few that it Is impossible for tha Chiuese to keep track of the goings on in their provinces. The Russians send a regiment of Cossacks, with their families, about ten or fifteen miles into China. The regiment will settle down, take up the land and cultivate it. They take op the boundary stones as they settle down, and put them at the edge of their settlements, and the next year an other regiment cornea along, and takes op the land below and moves the bound ary stones further on toward Pekin. These encroachments have been going on for years, and the Chinese cannot understand the perpetual shrinkage of their northern frontier. Ox all vital points affectiog the wel fare of the conntry the Harrison Ad ministration, says the Albany Argus, has;been a disastrous failure, and wnen to Its malign influence is added tbe recklessness and extravagance of the present Congress, the situation be comes terribly grave and the outlook very dark. Even the marvelous energy and progress or our country can hardly suffice against such destructive forces, and it will be providential rather than natural if we escape a panic as the re sult of this misgovernment. The Con gressional elections in the Fall will af ford the people -an opportunity of re cording their verdict on the Harrison Administration, and the palpable indi cations are that it will be a most em phatic verdict one that will, at least, check the saturnalia of plunder now in full operation at the National Capital. The New York Post remarks : Wht does the Administration mean by appointing r.esroes, and '"low-down" ones at thpf. to Important postoffices in the Sjuth V There is not a city or town in the North which would not re sent the placing of a negro in charge of the postcfHce, ar.d the Republican party has never appointed a negro to auy posteffice in the Xortb during all its long lease of powtr. Why are negro officials forced upon the Sonhern whites when Northern whites are not required to bava them ? Do the Re publican managers think the way to build up the Republican party in the South is to appoint Dudleys in such places as Americus ? Or have those managers "got mad" at the Southern whites because they will not vote the Republican ticker, and made up their minds to use all l e powers of the Fed eral Government to "aggrayate" them ? A Sensational shooting affair oc curred at Washington, on Friday in which the principals were an ex-Congressman and a well-known newspaper man. Bolh are Kentuckiane. W. I Tulbee who "Presented a Kentucky of the Louisville Times, did the shoot leg. The House was engaged io its deliberations when Kincaid'a pistol bot reverberated through the corridors of the Capitol. A minute later the House was almost empty and a great crowd of excited employes and others was hurrying through the corridors to ward the scene of the shooting. Km caid was at once arrested, but since then the wound of Taulbte has been found to be not serious and there will likely be no proeecution. The jury in the Leconey murder case tried at Cmden. N. J., brought in a verdict on Monday of not guilty. The verdict wn received with ap flause. The case was a remarkable one. Chalkey Leconey, a well to-do rarmer, was charged with killing his niece, Anna Leconey. The trial has been In rrogrees four weeks. Chalkey Leconey was at firs: considered guilty, and circumstantial evidence was strong against him. The dtfmce, however, created a sensation at the trial by ad vancing the theory that the crime bad been committed by two colored men, oue of which assaulted the girl, then killed her to bide bis crime. From tbe beginning to the end or the trial the mother and father of the murdered girl were firm believers in the prisoners in nocence and testified in bis favor. The Louisiana Lottery Company is making a desperate efiort to retain its corporate life.

The farmers of Montgomery and Berks eoutnles have been aroused to organized action by the general de pression in the farming; interests of those counties. Unclaimed that the market value of farm lands io Montgom ery county has declined forty per cent, during the last ten years, and it la as certained fn both eouuties that many farmers will be compelled to abandon farming iu the near future on leas some speedy and substantial relief can be ob tained. The depression of tbe farming inter ests is not only logical bnt it is inevita ble. They are now paying nearly tbe same bigb war taxes on everything they boy that they paid when they received war prices of 12 per bushel for their wheal and like prices for all their other products. Tbe needless tariff taxes the farmers pay upon tbe necessaries of their industry and tbe necessaries of lire would mske the difference between actual loss and reasonable profit on any well regulated farm in Montgomery and Berks counties. The farmers are mocked with false protection, and thus taxed excessively on what they must buy when there is no possible method of protecting thein in their chief products, tbe price of which is regulated by tbe foreign mar ket to which their surplus must go. They are mocked by protection on wool, when there are not five hundred farmers In Pennsylvania who would not gala more from free wool in cheapened woolens they consume than tbey could possibly lose on wool; and for the mock ery ef protection on wovl. vegetables, eggs, butter, etc.. tbey are taxed in borne and barn from fonndation to roof; taxed in furniture, clothing, utensils, farm implements, and everything tnat goes on their tables from salt to china, witb the single exception of tea and coffee. Tbe farmers are walking monuments of bigb war taxation tn time of peace, as are their wives, their children and their labors. When war taxes were a necessity and values of farm products advanced with taxes, farmers could afford war taxation ; but war taxes witb wheat and other farm products at two-fifths their price in war times, must bankrupt onr farming Interests In the old States. Let the farmers look to Congress, where tariff rev'siou is on hand, and note that wool and woolens are to be loaded with increased taxes, and that tin plate of universal use on our farms from kitchen utensils to din ner pails and oat house roofs, is to be increased one hundred and twenty-five per cent, in taxes, and tbey will under stand why tbey are Impoverished and where the remedy is to be found. Truly, these arebatd times for farmers, but It is quite s true that tbe farmers have always had tbe power to release themselves fron bondage and that tbey have thus far failed to exercise it. rhila. Times. Tbe old Story LotysviLLE, March 4. William n. Pope, teller of the Louisville City National bmnk. absconded on last Sat urday with SCO. 000 of the bank's money in bis possession. Nothing has since been heard of him. It is supposed that he is now in Canada. The bank will not be inconvenienced ) its loss, which will amonnt to cot more than 540 000, as Pope fnraisbed a gilt edged bond of $20,000. Monday morning Pope failed to appear at his desk at the usual hour. It was his cnj'om to come to the bank shortly before 9 o'clock, and in com pany with l be cashier, Mr. William S, Parker, open the safe, take out the money and books, and arrange for the day's business. The minu:ea went by and still Pope did not come. "Well, he's gone to bis father's borne, about eight miles front town, aud cannot get back owing to the high water," thought the bank off! cials. "He baa a sister who is at the point of death, and maybe she is dead," said Mr. Parker. Vice President Lech was In his private office. He sent tor Mr. Parker and asked ir P.pe bad reported. Mr. Parker sent back word that he bad not. Mr. Leech went to the front and the thought flashed across bis mind that possibly the teller had robbed tbe bank or a large sum and fled. "We will open the safe and count the money." said Mr. Lvecn. lie and the cashier went into tbe vault. The officers commenced the count of the money and clerks began to check Pope's accounts. In a short time both were finished, and 500,000 in bank and United States notes were found miss ing. It is known that Pop took tbe Mon on expiess Saturday night ror Chicago. It is not know, whether Pope went to Canada or to Mexico from there A large number of photographs and descriptions of him were mailed to a' I points in Canada, the United States and Mexico. His defalcation is at tributed to whisky and poker. YTas be Rurrled Alive. St. Louis, Mo., March 3. Tbe local presh is puzz.ed over tbe case of John J. O'Connor, which is certainly a most remarkable one. It was claimed that he bad died and that bis body was taken to tbe morgue, where it was identified by his wire, wbo bad him burled in Calvary Ceme tery. A few days later it was claimed that O'Connor was alive, that bis wife had been mistaken, and that the man wbo was taken to tbe grave was not ber husband. It now transpires that thvre is everv reason to believe that O'Connor was not buried by proxy, but in bis own proper person, some time bet ween toa night or Monday. February 10 and tbe afternoon or Wednesday. O'Connor was seen Saturday aigbt. and staled most emphatically that the grave in the cemetery is empty, and be exhibited a cut which bad been made half way across the abdomen. Ha is of the opinion that be. was really buried, aad that his body was taken up and con veyed to a dissecting room while in a state or suspended animstion, and that when the first incision was made it caused a flow of blood wbieb restored him to consciousness. He states that he went to a lodging boose Monday evening, and that be knew nothing more nntll Wednesday night, when be found himself seated on the Court House stepe in dszed condition, weak and sick.

The hour of ad journment arrived before the bill was completed, aud it was made the special order for Monday next. Independence for Canada. Montreal. March 3. Events are shaping themselves gradually but slow ly for soma radical change In Cauada's status. Ever since tbe loyatty address to tke Queen was passed by tbe Com mons rx Ottawa, and tbe young Liber als of Toronto and Montreal passed eonnter-reeolutloos in tavor of Cana dian independence, arrangements have been qnietly proceeding in this city for tbe establishment of an organization which will work systematically and unceasingly in favor of "the emancipa tion of the country." Tbe project is as yet in its infancy, but its promoters, though somewhat reticent admit that It will soon be fully launched. Tbey say tbat tbe end in view is a patriotic one, and only paciffic and eons stitutional methods win oe employed. A Canadian Independence League, witb ramifications all through the laud and beyond its borders, will be formed. It will have an organ published in the English 'anguage which will be called "1S92" tbe date ouo which it Is hoped Independence will have been brought about. As for tbe French Canadians, the League will rely for organs on seyeral of tbe Liberal newspapers which have already deel red for a Canadian repub lic. All tbe Liberal and other clubs io the country will be so many branches nnder tbe direction of the Supreme Council in this city. It is hoped that independence clubs will be formed at least in every county. if not io every town and village. Literature favoring tbe change will be prepared and disseminated abundantly. Members and candidates at every elec tion will be asked to pledge themselves to the idea. This will be for this country. Ontsida an effort will be sought to obtain the moral support or all tbe independent nations ef both Americas to remove "In 1892 from free America the last vestige of monarchical and European rule." This particular date is chosen because of its being tbe four hundredth anniversary of tbe discovery of America by Columbus. Universities and political clubs in tbe United Slates and Europe which favor the extension of Democratic ideas and tbe triumph of Democratic institutions will be invited to assist tbe movement and exert their moral influence in se curing tbe independence of Canada. A large number of prominent p litl cians, especially in tbe Liberal ranks, declare themselves in private in favor of independence. A Pair T Female Highway Robbers. Wheeling. West "Va., March 2. A tremendous sensation bas been created In tbe western prt of this State by tbe arrest of two women, tbe wives of well-to-do farmers, for professional highway robbery. Some of their ad ventures were as bold as any of Jack Sheppard's or that ever figured in a romance. A aeriee of sensational highway rob beries have lately ben committed in a remote part cf Jackson county. On Friday night A. B. Mitchell, a well-to-do farmer was stopped on the road, near bis home apparently Dy two masked men, wbo presented revolvers and demanded bis money. While tbe robbers were searching Mitchell a party of friends arrived unexpectedly and the robbers took to flight. Tbey were porsoed, took refuge in a bouse, bnt were finally captured. Tbe pursuers were amazed to find, when tbe maiki were torn from their races, that they were two women, the wives of es timble farmers in tbe community, named Mitchell and Jones. The women broke down, and confessed to a large number of oold robberies. Restitution will be made to tboae persons robbed. The women sy that tbey began their robberies at first in order to scare their husbands, wbo were addicted to drink and kept late boms. Tbeir unexpected success encouraged tbem, and they have kept them up for several months for the money to be made. Tbev are known to baye secured nearly J1000 from two rotberies alone. Among other robberies which the women confessed to committing was one on a cattle drover named Hugh Nicholson a week ago. Nicholson was ridios: through a lonely part of tbe county, four miles from tbe locality in which the women lived, when be was suddenly ordered to halt. n put spurs to bis horse, but two revolver shots disabled his bora and brought him to the ground. Tbe rob bers then went leisurely through bis pockets aod secured all the money tbat Nicholson carried, which, however, happened to be a small sum. Tbey then assisted him to bis feet, bade him good bv and left. Nicholson has no suspicion as to tbe identity or bis as sailants. The expos a re of the female robbers has created an intense sensa tion In tbat section. Tbe family con nections of both women are very exten sive, and a strong effort will be made to save them from prosecution, and bnsb the matter op, ir possible. Jie Horry. The Rebublicans will probably admit Idaho ana Wyoming Into tbe Union during tbe present Congress. Bills ror l bat purpose have been reported in the Senate and the Hoose. The main, and in raet tbe sole, reason ror the admis sion or those Territories is. of course, the creaMoo of new Republican States. Tbe enthusiasm of tbe boomers esti mates the population of Idaho at from 120,000 to 150,000. a gain or from 300 to 4U0 per cent, since tbe last census. Wyoming's population, according to similar ofiianistic calculations, is from 80.0U0 to 100.000. It woold to well to wait nntil these figures are verified. New Mexico bad io 1880 a population four times as large as that of Idaho and six times as large as tbat or Wyoming at thst time ; and both New Mexico and Arizona have great mineral re sources, but have, or at least it is as sumed by the R-publlcans tbat tbey have, tbe misfortune to be Democratic, and consequently their admission is not to be tbooght of. A large part, probably a fourth or fifth, of the actual population of Idaho, consists of Mormons, disfranchised Mormons. Tbe civic strength of a eommonity in which so large part or or the fnbabl aos are prevented rront exercising the suffrage, cannot be gieat; and tbe disfranchised part is, as a whole, tbe settled in distinction from tbe roving element of tbe population. It woold be interesting to know what expectations of big appropriations rrom tbe Government for tbe purpose of irri gation stir the patriotism of thee Territories. The case of North Dakota shows that it la possible to admit a Te ritory to the Union when it is neither financially nor morally prepared for it. The case of Nevada shows tbe uncertain prospects of prosperity which are founded largely upon tbe hope or mineral wealth. Ii seems clear enough tbat there should be no hurry about admitting Idaho and Wyoming; yet the Republican delega tion in the Electoral College needs to be added to. JV. Y. Sun The First Mep.
