A terribi.k accident near Basle, in Switzerland, occurred on .Monday which precipitahHl a train load of passengers into a swollen river and one hundred and twenty people jierished.

Ex-Sknatok Joski-h E. -McDonald of Indianoplis, Ind., is lying very near death's door at his home in that city from cancer of the stomach.

He was assigned ollices in the Treasury building. He will have charge of the administration of all the details of the immigration service. Thk Republican state convention of Ohio, met at Columbus on Tuesday, and after spending a day arranging the pre liminaries on Wednesday nominated William McKinley, of High tariff no toriety, as their candidate for Governor. The campaign in Ohio this fall will be fought inch by inch by hoth purties and McKinley is a fit candidate of the party Of monopolies and trusts. Os Friday of last week the Supreme Court decided that Governor Pattison had the right to appoint a successor to ex-treasurer John Rardsley, and that W. Redwood Wright, the - Governor's ap pointee, is therefore treasurer of Phila delphia. Richard G. tk'llers, who was appointed by the city councils and who had assumed charge of the office must Step down and out. Tally one for Fut tison. It is probable that in the next few years the Pacific slope will become a great manufacturing region liecause of the rapid growth of population and develop ments of a foreign commerce. The sil ver miners are developing new mines, and expect to increase the output of mines in the next three years by twenty five per cent. The locomotive makers are very busy. In Kentucky there are more shops and manufacturing et-tab-lishments being built than was ever be fore known. The figures of Mulhall, the statistician, Show that in this country from 1850 to 18SS, thirty-eight years, while the pop Ulatiin increased by 170 per cent., rail roads increased nearly 1,000 jier cent, banking more than tHX) per cent., steam power GS. ier cent., manufacturers 40S per cent., eommeree Sl per cent, agri Culture l2o'2 per cent., and shipping 74 per cent. The great increase in rail roads and steam-jiower was due to the progress of invention and development Of new discoveries. ,,Tho comparatively low progress of agriculture must l as- crilved to unequal legislation, and that , , . .

Among the item? in the measure which met with hw diHappmval were 7.f00 to joint committee to inquire into bank failures; $M,,00 exj-ewes of Senate ap propriation committee, visiting state in stitution, and 10.1'50 to House appro priation committee for the same pur pose!; $.5,0(K) to finance committee, in vestigating Philadelphia city treasury. "No vouchers arc filed nor detailed state ment produced of these exjenKe!?, and they are fastened on the bill as 'riders. This kind of expenditure has increased from 4,OO0 in ISM 2 to $2S,5oO this year." The (iovernor says he would veto the item of expense for thesoldiers' oaphans' sc hooln investigating commit tee, and the committee to investigate the inetiids of conducting busmen in the state treasury, were it not for the fact that he is not willing fuch inquiries should le discouraged. The Governor is undoubtedly right iu this matter, and that the taxpayers of the state will appreciate his action goes without haying. He has served timely notice that junketing expeditions at the exjx'iise of the people will not longer lie tolerated. These so-called investigating eoiirmittieshave never amounted to any thing, and the Governor has not put a stop to them a moment too soon. THEScranton Iteouhlutm as its name indicates a journal devoted to the inter ests of the Republican party has this to say of the last legislature: In common parlance, this legislature has not loen a success. The majority have disappointed their party most griev ously and elated the oppositionllieytnd hounds. Never liefore in the history of this state has a Republican majority in the legislature had such magnificent op portunities, and in no instance that we can recall have opportunities'been more shamefully waste!. The Republicans in this legislature have simply not lieen equal to the situation that confronted them. Much of the legislation that lias been enacted was so badly botched that it might lietter not have leen passed at all. It is tnly just in this connection to re mark that the house has shown itself the superior ldy of the two, and if the Sen ate had done equally well there would lie less for Republicans to deplore and lie ashamed of. The Senators appear to have been the willing victims of execra ble outside influence to which they have yielded to the great damage'ofthe Rep ublican part' and the deteriment of the interests of the commonwealth generally. Thk assignment of Sevill Schotield, Sn A Co., whose immense mill at Mnn ayunk gave employment to 1800 hands, says the Philadelphia Iff raid, furnishes a practical tariff object lesson. Mr. Schotield, the head of the firm, attributes his troubles to the injurious effects of the McKinley Tariff bill. Stimulated by the new tariff law prices took an upward tendency and then the inevitable law of supply and demand brought them back to their old level. People recognizing that the law was a squee in the interest of tlw manufac turer became chary aliout buying, and the result has been that a house which prtispercd under .he old tariff has gone to the wall under the McKinley bill. With fr-e wool it is proliable that Sohofield's immense mill, which scatters many millions of dollars among the working classes of Manayunk, would to-day lie resounding with the click of the shuttle and the rattle of the loom. When protection shuts up American mills and brings dist revs and suffering to thousands of the industrial classes, it is time to repeal a law which oppresses the many ami favors but a few. Oxk of the many different articles which have lieen disastrously effected by the McKinley tariff is wall paper. Two of the important materials entering into the manufacture of wall paper are bronze powder and dextrine. No brone pow der is made in this country, and all of it used in the manufacture of wall paper lias to be imported, principally from Germany. Under the McKinley bill the duty on this article has been in' creased nine eent3 on the tiound. The dextrine that is produced in the United States is unfit to be used in manufactur ing wall paper, and, under the McKin ley bill, the tax on the foreign article has lieen increased from one cent to one and one-half cents per pound. It can tie seen that the incaeased taxation on these two articles will result in higher prices charged for wall paper, at the same time that the workingman who lalnirs in wall "paper factories re ceives the same wages as heretofore. The wall paper tax is one that every one must bear. Rktkeskntative Wherry says the Erie Iff mid two years ago offered a re solution for an investigating" of Stat Treasury methods. Speaker Boyer, who was then slated for and was later elected Treasurer, ruled the resolution out of order. Mr. Wherry last i month intro duced a similar resolution but the House would not even consider it. The Rep ublican leaders seem to fear that some thing shocking would be exhibited to view if the lid should be taken off the State Treasury, but the rotteness is ooz ing out through the cracks in spite of all they can do to prevent it. The investi gation proposed by Mr. Wherry two years ago would probalby have saved the state considerable money. Thk census of England and Wales Shows a population of 29,000,000, being an increase of 3,000,000, or less than 12 per cent., during the last ten years a rate of increase which is much lower than durinsr the nreceffi a t . , As emigration has not increased, the rause ....... E . rt. I "o cvun vmcr I direction. I- t ihiiie ton l etter. am .:. .h-j.. l. .'. June 12. I'-Vl. WLv did S-fptHuy Foster top mak ing public the Treasury? S as tie at nul that the ytat-enwnt wouia snow ueu- cit inste:ul ol a balance? ine rc pcrtio-nt Questions at this time. - the L.st uLrtU t-nt made, several days aeo. showed that the balance had dropped down to little over three million dol lars. Then Secretaiy Fostor direct ed that the making public of these ft" ments hould be abolirhed. If he didn't do that because he feared the effect of tliese statements on the public, w hat did he do it for? The inference is very plain. Mr. Foster knows that it is only a ques tion of time, and a very short time at that, before he w ill have to pay out money which is not strictly sneaking available, and that these daily balances would make it plain the day it was done. So he arbitrarily decides to have no more statements, not withstanding the right of the people to know at all times the status of their finamvs: but what do the rights of the people count for in the eyes of Mr. iosterT Senator Carlisle passed through Wash ington this week, but he said he wasn't bothering his head aUmt politics just now. Retmnentative Mills, of Texas, is here He dWlines to be interviewed on his prospects of being elected Speaker of the House. It is a positive pleasure to chronicle the fact that one of the great Uovenv ment bureaus the Paient Office is lieing run on sound, common-sense business principles; but as Commission er Mitchell is understotHl to have ten dered Mr. Harrison Lis resignation it ls inferable that he has found it lonesome anil nrefers to retire. Mr. Mitchell has made one chance that will make his ad ministration of the Patent Office stand out like a mountain on a plain for years to come. He has ruled that ex-employes of the Patent Office, acting as agents or attor neys, shall not be permitted to appear in cases upon which they had acted while employes of the Office. This is a most righteous decision, and it ends the career of the over-smart fellows, who while Examiners of the Patent Office have deliberately rejected thousands of applications entitled to lie granted, so that they, a little later on, as attorneys miirht eet these inventors as clients ana secure a fee for obtaining the patent thus adding to the inventor's expense and to their own nroht. J. M. Laneston. the negro ex-Con- cressman, savs the force bill is to be made the nrincinal issue of the Presi dential campaign. The Democrats will not ask anv easier issue to wiu on. Senator Peffer pavs the peoples party will fight Cleveland because of his finan cial record. There are good reasons for believing that Mr. Harrison and Senator tjuay have settled upon the details of an alh ance. offensive and defensive, and it is said that Quay is getting ready to even up with those members of his party that snublied him when it was thought he was to lie an ex-boss. Not for weeks has there been such stream of prominent callers at the White House as during the present week, that something of interest has lieen go ing on in upper Republican circles is certain and many people lielieve that it relates to a general re-organization of the cabinet, but a most persistent hunt has failed to discover any one who was willing to father such a story. The Suite department sent the diplo matic corps to Chicago on a special train yesterday, in order that its members might have an opportunity to observe the preparations for the Worlds Fair. Director General Davis, who has been here fixing up things of various kinds, left early enough to be on hand to re ceive the foreigners when they arrive at Chicago. Surely the millenium is coming, since Mr. Harrison has actually put two Dem ocrats on the bench of the court of pri vate land claims. The following are the justices of the New court: J. K. Reed, of Iowa; W. F. Stone, of Colorado; H. C. Sluss, of Kansas; T. C. Fuller, of North Carolina; and W. W. Murray, of Tennessee, the first named being Chief Justice M. G. Reynolds, of issoun and L. W. Colby of Nebraska, are the V. S. attorneys. W beat Sprouts In a Bsj's Head. A grain of wheat lias sprouted in the forehead of a rive-year old boy at Balem, X. Y. On May loth, little Thomas Stretch, the son of Miller Reeve A. Stretch, of Lower Alloway Creek Town ship, was quite, seriously injured by lie ing caught in a belt at the mill, and would have been killed but for the promptness of his father in stopping the machinery. He has now almost recov ered from the effects of the accident; but a few days ago a dark spot was noticed over his eye. It was carefully opened with a lance, and was found to be a grain of wheat which was sprouted. The grain was probably forced under the skin when his head struck a bin, while he was being whirled around the shaft. Fighting ror a Horse Thief. Liscols, Neb., June 17. The (iov ernor of Nebraska and Governor of Wy oming are at loggerheads over a horse thief named Kingen. The fellow stole a valuable horse in Wyoming. A mob followed him over the line for the pur pose of lynching him, but, instead, took him back to Wyoming, where he was sentenced th the penitentiary. Govern or Thayer demanded of the (iovernor of Wyoming that Kingen be immediately returned. The. Wyoming (iovernor flat ly refused. Thayer then declared that he would have Kingen released if he had to march an army of militia into that state, (iovernor Thayer is now in Wy oming. The Richest Man In America. New York, June 14. The reported illness of John D. Rockefeller has caused interest to be taken as to the amount of his fortune. Mr. Rockefeller's family deny that the modern Croesus is danger ously ill, but his friends are solicitous just the same. 1 1 is sickness has renewed the speculation as to his immense wealth. An old Standard Oil man and life-long friend, who is on the inside of affairs, pays Rockefeller is by all odds the rich est man in America, a conservative es timate of his money being $129,000,000, and that he is wealthier than any of the Vandcrbilts. The great trouble in the Philadelphia tangle is to tell where the money went. If Bardsley got it aU, what did he do with it? If he did not get it all who did? About two millions are gone and the general supposition is that there are a numlier nf political associates who as sisted Bardsley in getting away with the Govlrnoh rATTisos on Monday issued a warrant for the execution of John McManus, at Philadelphia on Thursday, August 2Uth, ltd. The Sew IJrsNT; Latf. N.-rrerar- of th- "iu'uoiweaai liar- rity ha sent otUMal notification to me County Commix-ioners ol lire various counties, that the (iovernor has signed the new Reentry law. Tins new taw makes imrxrtant chances in the manner of registering votes and among its fea tures are: ' The Assessor is required to visit in person each and every dwelling-house in his election district or division, on first Monday of May and the first Mon day of IKceiiilierof each year, or as soon thereafter as practicable. It ls intend to prohibit the Assessors from taking up the transcript or list of voters of the pre vious assessment. . An entirely new registration ls to be made, lne names are 10 oe enu-nn " applied to ivistmaster lieueral visiiiatua thelists in the order in which the dwell- J k,.rthe sCi -l Iar.ilc applicant on rec- ing-houses are visited, and the qualified electors in each dwelling-house are to ne grouped tigether and entered by stre-b alleys, or courts. The'.issessor is not to assess any person until after caretui in- quiry Of the voter himself, or of pome known resident of the election district or division. In all cases the Assessor is obliged to enter in his liook, opposite the name of each voter, the name and residence of the persona who fhall furnish informa tion as to the residence and qualifica tion if a.rh voter w he rfsi. The blank lioo'ig to be furnished the Assess ors by the County Commissioners should 1 ruled for spaces for the name, resi dence and occupation of the voter, the date of assessment, the name of employ er, with whom boarding, and the address of known residents of the election divis ion who furnished information as to qualifications of voters, etc., as required by act of June M), 14 Under the act of April, 1S74, any As- j sessor who ahall knowingly assess any ' Iierson as a voter who is not qualified, or Ehall willfully refuse to assess any one who is qualified, is liable to a fine not exceeding f 1 ,000. County Commission ers are required by law to furnish the Assessors with the necessary books and blanks. The County Commissioners will have to recall the booka sent out, as the state authorities hold that the registration this year must be made under the new law. One of the provisions of the new law cures a defect that has been very annoy ing and that was that there was no mode of getting a voter registered between the fall and spring elections. Under this new law the n-gistration in Deoemlier will take in the names of voters qualified for the following election. Legal Helldajs. The legislature at its recent ws-ion did a good thing in the matter of fixing the legal holidays so that it may now lie certainly known w hich days are to be oliserved. The legal holidays in Pennsylvania, made so by the new law are as follows: 1. New Year's Day, January 1st. 2. AVashington'fi birthday, February '2'2. 3. Crood Friday. 4. Memorial lay, May 30th. f. Independence Day, July 4th. ". Christmas Iav, December 25th. 7. Ijilwr Day, first Monday iu 6ep temlier. AH days designed by the (iovernor or President for thanksgiving, fueling or prayer. V. Saturday half-holiday, from 12 o'clock noon until midnight, Iieginning 15th of June and ending loth of Sep temlier, of each year. It will be seen that there are nine of them. As to their legal character the law says, they "shall for all purjuises whatever as reganls the presenting for payment or acceptance, and as regards the protesting and giving notice of the dishonor of bills of exchange, checks, drafts, promissory notes, made after the passage of this act. lie treated and con sidered as the first day of the week, com monly called Sunday." And all "such bills, checks, drafts and notes other wise presentable for aceeptani-e or pay ment on any of the said days shall be deemed to lie ayab!e and lie presenta ble for acceptance or payment on the secular or business day next nieceding 1 ' o.,..l. i.,.i;.l.. ,7 ,..;n ...t.i..ir ki;.i.... ! . .. . .,.

It would he well for every one to make at least a mental note of these d -ys, B they have a value to business men es pecially that should not be disregarded. A Long Ride In a Bx. Victoria, B. C, June 13. A piano case, supposed to contain a piano, and consigned to . A. right, ictona, j through from Toronto some months ago, and, a claimant not put ting in an appearance, the case was placed in a freight shed, awaiting an owner. The company decided to ex amine the piano, but when the case was opened, instead of an instrument being revealed, the interior was found to be fitted up as a comfortable little apart ment, bearing traces of having been oc cupied by a man and woman during the trip across the continent. A 6tft mattress wag on the bottom of the box, and several articles of male and female apparel were scattered about. The sides of the box were adorned with hooks for clothing, and some morsels of food were scattered around. Several air holes in the liox and covers were fitted with hinges so as to easy open from the inside. SneceBsfal fctla drafting. Kansas City. June 14. The success ful grafting of skin sufficient to patch up two legs was completed here yesterday. A year ago A. C Fulkerson stepped by mistake into a vat of boiling grease. The flesh of the legs from the knees down was cooked away. The only method of repairing the damage was by grafting skin from other human beings upon the injured members. One hundred and sixty persons, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias, of which organizations Fulkerson was a member, contributed portions of their anatomy to be used in piecing up Mr. Fulkerson's wounds. The grafts were about 1,000 in number, and in the ma jority of cases were successful. Fulker son was out to-day, enjoying the use of both limbs. As alarming increase of grip is report ed along the Nova Scotia and Newfound land coasts. In many instances whole families are down with the disease. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S.
