Tliat the Auditors report should be
correct is a matter of fact that needs no
argument. If it cannot le relieil upon
there is no use in the Auditors meeting
and the jieople might m well let the
Commissioners settle with themselves.

under the law to lay U fore the Auditors i It is generally believed that the United . Western Statc-s, whose constituents will

for the Auditors to pass upon is also a Uijrn before them, and that the red- ; with the Democrat to lay aside the

truism that will not l)'ar ar- . Mw M ' a , .
gument. If the Commissioners have
the power of laying only such bills as j
suit them ln fore the auditors and of
withholding other bills until next year,
then the Auditors' work would le a
farce that three nu n of common sense
should le ashamed to idle their time at,
let alone a-ccpt pay for. In other
words if the County Comnissioners have
the power of withholding a bill for one
dollar, they can withhold a bill fur four
thousand three hundred and fifty dollars,
or for ten or twentv thousand dollars,
and if they can withhold either and
grant orders to pay the bills the follow
ing year, the people could never tell how
the county stood financially and there
would le no possible use for County
Auditors.
The law intends and common horse
sense without any law would teach any
thinking man that the Auditors settle
ment should contain everything settle
everything for the year. If the Com
missioners have contracted any debts
that remain unpaid they must lay the
indebtedness U fere the Auditors or pay
the debts themselves. There is only one
way of getting lx-hind the Auditors set
tlement either fur a credit or indebted
cduessand that is to appeal from it within
the siKX'itied time provided by law ; af
ter that time is past the settlement is
final and conclusive and 6tands against
the world.
If a bill is presented to the Auditors for
allowance for an indebtedness contracted
for prior to the last Auditors' report, it
is the duty of the Auditors to examiue
the Auditors settlement for last year and
if it appears that there was an indebted
ness, they can then, if the bill is just and
correct allow it. But if the hist Audi
tors' report shows no such indebtedness,
the Auditors can have nothing to do
with it. It is not even discretionary
with a tioard of Auditors whether they
can allow an old bill or not, it is simply
a question of whether they regard the
obligations of an oath to perform their
duty.
Last year Joseph Hipps and George A.
Kinkead were on the board as County
Auditors, were re-elected in November,
and are serving now. In their report
last year they stated the outstanding in
debtedness of the county at t23,SG9,C3
none of which was for building bridges.
Cambria county, according to the Audi
tors' report, made under the sanctity of
their otticial oaths had paid every dollar
she owed for building bridges. Yet on
the very day that Joseph Hipps and
George A. Kinkead as Auditors were
sending out this report to the people of
Cambria county an order was issued and
rushed into the treasury for four thous
and three hundred and fifty dollars in
payment for building bridges contracted
for long liefore the meeting of the Au
ditors. Why the County Commission
ers refused or declined to lay this bill le
fore the Auditors and the people we will
m t now discuss; the time and manner of
issuing the order has already leen told
to the readers of the Freeman.
One of the first bills to come liefore
the present Auditors will le the payment
of this last year's bridge bill. The
serenity expressed on the lenign counten
ances of the Commissioners as they lay
this bill before the Auditors will almost
cast a hallo. Bridge building with them
has liecome ft science, has been so care
fullv done that although the bill 13 old
it would be an outrage to doubt of its
irtue.
But there is no use arguing the ques
tion of whether the county got value for
the amount of this bill or not. The time
for paying this bill by the county is past.
Nothing but official perjury on the part
f the Auditors can ever saddle it on the
county now. It may seem hard, tan u
is the result of the Commissioners own
act in attempting to palm off on the
people a rejiort that they knew was not
true. If they were willing to risk four
thousand three hundred and fifty dollars
on the presumed gullibility of County
Auditors, and lose, they have none but
themselves to blame. Monkeying with
a buzz saw is said to le dangerous but
monkeying with the people's money
should be classed as extra hazzardous.
Ijist year's accounts, unless appealed
from are according to every legal ruling
closed forever.
If the Auditors doubt the position of
the Fkkkmax on this question if they
doubt their own common sense they
have the right and are expressly author
ized by law to employ counsel of their
own; not counsel selectc d by the Com
missioners but counsel selected by
themselves for their own guidance whose
fees shall be paid out of the County
Treasury,
We leave the question with Joseph
Hipps, George -A Kinkead and Wm.
C. Berry the present Auditors; to square
their consciences with their official
oaths will lie a duty that they cannot
shirk and should be performed without
fear, favor or affection ; without re
ward or gain or hope thereof.
There is no complaint made by the
Republican papers of Democratic niem
liers Uing absent from the Senate when

Commissioning War Ships.
Anxapokis, Md., Jan. .), Comment
Ls aroused among navy officers over the
series of orders emanating from the
Navy Department within the past few
weeks directing the commissioning of
war ships at San Francisco and the or
dering of various other cruisers to Pacific
waters. Under present orders no less
then eleven war ships and five revenue
cutters will soon be tne commlon in
the Pacific and ready for duty.
If, in addition, the rumored charter
ing and arming of seven steamers for
revenue cutter duty in the Behring Sea
proves correct, the U. S. navy force will
number twenty-three ships against the
five British gunboats and one armored
vessel at present protecting Great Bri
tain's interests in the North Pacific.
This will increase the alxive force by still
another vessel. It is calculated that ten
war ships are now in position fur mobili
zation at San Francisco inside of forty
days. Six war ships are ready for imme
diate work.
In view of the present Behring Sea
controversy and the rumored chartering
of seven steamers for revenue cutter duty,
the above disposition is deemed ominous.
As the fishing season does not begin ear
lier than May, the concentration of war
ships can be affected lefore the revenue
cutters are ready to proceed to the Beh
ring Sea. It is believed that the whole
U. S. force in the Pacific will then con
centrate off Port Townsend.
Some bood Indians.
Washington, Jan, 4. The commis
sioner of Indian affairs has, in response
to a telegram sent to Agent Boyer at the
Pine Ridge agency, inquiring as to
whether any of the Indian scouts or
jiolice have joined the hostiles, received
the following reply from the agency,
dated the 3d:
"None of our enlisted scouts have
joined hostiles. Captain Seward gave
three permisson to go to the hostiles
camp after their families, who have not
yet returned. Police and scouts are
rendering good service, and by their vig
orous firing prevented the hoetiles from
burning agency buildings."
A reporter to-night called the atten
tion of the commissioner to reports from
Iine Ridge saying that General Miles
had recommended the removal of the
Indian agents at Pine Ridge and other
places, and to the statement that the
Indians were slowly starving to death.
The commissioner said that so far as the
agents were concerned there were no
evidence that there had leen dishonesty
on tleir part in distributing supplies.
He said he was preparing for publication
a full statement of the amount of sup
plies voted by Congress and distribution
to Indians. The commissioner has sub
mitted to the President a statement cov
ering the question of the charge made
that the agreements with the Indians
have not been fulfilled.
A Legislator Held for Harder.
Gcthrie, Okla., January 5. I. N.
Terrill, a Representative from Payne
county in the Legislature which has
just adjourned, and who put through the
criminal code, yesterday snot ana in
stantly killed George W. Einbrec.
Terrill went to the United States Land
Office a few days ago to make final proof
on his quarter section in Payne county,
twenty miles northeast of here. Embree,
who lived four miles from the claim, in
troduced evidence which tended to dis
credit Terrill's right as a homesteader.
Embree's evidence was all in yesterday
and he had sworn to it. As he wag
leaving the Land Office Terrill and his
brother met him at the door. liot
words were exchanged and I. N. Terrill
drew a revolver and fired five bullets
into Embree's body, while the other
Temll pinioned his arms. Any one of
the five wounds would have produced
death.
Both ' Terrills are now at the United
States millitary camp heavily guarded
by troops.

slilj Miners Killed.
Vienna, Jan. 5. A terrible explosion
occured last Saturday in the coal mine
at Ostrau. Up to to-day CO bodies of
victims have lieen recovered, and there
are believed to le more in the pit.
The bodies of the unfortunate miners
which have 1 x'n recovered present a hor
rible appearance. They are terrilJy
scorched and so dreadfully mutilated
that it is very difficult to identify them
from their features. Seventeen of the
men who were recovered in an uncon
cioiLs condition have since lieen revived.
Heartrending scenes are witnessed at the
mouth of the pit as the rescuing irties
continue to bring the mangled forms of
the ill-fated miners to the surface
Most of the victims of the explosion
were married and were men of family,
and the lamentations of their liereavcd
relatives, who have crowded alout the
fatal spot, are pitiful in the extreme.
Count Willzek, the owner of the pit, at
tended Ue funeial of the unfortunates
who were buried to-dav.

"Yes I have lieen in a country whe re
the snow is two miles deep," said N. B.
Lazard, a mining exjiert from TomLstone,
Ari., at the Palmer House ycstenlay.
Mr. Lazard was in the East during the
recent snow-storm, and was talking
alout what the rieople in Pennsylvania
called a blizzard. "They thought the
two-foot fall of snow was something to
talk about," continued the visitor.
"But if they would visit Alaska about
two hundred miles up the Vucon river
they would find snow that for miles is so
thick that the banks almost reach the
skies. If it keeps on accumulating as
fast as it has during the past ten years
scientific men will not lie able to say
truthfully the earth is round. I was in
Alaska in lS8o, and that year the snow
fall was quite Jieavy. Snow that falls
their remains, for it never nielto." ttti-

Miss KateO'Itrlen. adomestic employ
ed In the Commercial Hotel at Youngs
town, Ohio, while sweeping out the office
on Monday, was nearly cremated by her
clothing taking fire from a grate. She was
terribly burned and was removed to a hos
pital. Her injuries are considered fatal,
(leorge Polhick. in attempting to tear off
her burning clothing, had his hands badly
burned.
The statement of the appraisers of the
hanking firm of Delamater & Co., shows
Ihat the assets of the firm am estimated at
$301,000. Of this estimate lS3.0fO belongs
to the firm, E!.0 to (ieorge It. Delamater,
tiu( to George. Wallace Ivlamater, and
1 10.0TH to T. A. Delamater. Although the
asisignees are still nimble to give an ac
curate statement retarding the firm's lia
bilities, it is said that they will amount to
fl.n.Mi, which includes the persona! lia
bilities of the niemliers of the house.
A murder has resulted from the riot at
the Edgar Thompson Steel Works at
Kraddock on New Year's Day. Michael
W. Qiiiuii. a bos in the stock yards of the
furnace department, who was injured In
the affray, died on Tuesday morning.
The other workmen assaulted ill recover.
Fifty-four Hungarians have lieen arrested
so far for participating in the riot and oth
er arrests are lx-ing mad hourly. Two
furnaces have lieen started up with new
men, and all will lie in oeratiou in a few
days. Although no further trouble Is ap
prehended, the guards will remain on duty
for the balance of the week at least.
While an enormous crowd of holiday
makers were amusing themselves on Sun
day on the ice-covered surface of the River
Danulie. lietween Ituda and IN-stli. the ice,
aftera series of alarming, cracking reports,
suddenly jravr way in several plac-s. A
terrible panic followed among those who
were upon the river. A number of jieople.
fell into the water and were drawn under
the ice. Those who were fortunate
enough toescac, asslsti-d by others upon
the shore, did their utmost to aid the en
dangered jieople. Thccitciitof the calam
ity is not known, but many iople are re
ported missing and are liclievcd to have
tccn drowned.
Two young men. Harry Stouffer and
Young Weaver, of Shepherdstown. Dau
phin county, procured in some way a pre
scription for whiskey one day recently.
One gallon of this they drank freely, until
they became drunk. In making their way
home, Stouffer fell by the wayside in an
unconscious condition. He was picked up
by a neighbor and taken to his home,
where he di"d a few minutes after without
uttering a word. Meanwhile his comrade
made his way home. Weaver was terribly
frozen aliout the hands and lower extrem
ities, and amputation of the lower portion
of .the legs will be necessary to save his
life. Even then he will only have slim
chances of surviving.
A suspicion has leen aroused, from a
case that occ urrud on Sunday night, that a
gang of thugs have made way with sever
al people at Whi-eling, W. Va. In the past
three months four or five citizens have
strangely disapieared and their disappear
ance remains uue& plained. The latest
case is that of H. T. Itishop, who has not
been sevn since Saturday and whose fami
ly believe lie has met with foul play, On
Sunday night Spencer Milligan. of
Mouudsville, was rescued from the swollen
creek by two mlicemcii, who by mere
chance saw him in the water. He said he
was drugged In a saloon and robbed, and
then led in a stupid condition to the creek
aud pushed iu. His story is believed and
an effort will be made to apprehend the
guilty parties, in the hope that further
matters of interest will develop.
