The Democratic congressional confer
ence of Erie and Crawford counties met
at Meadville on Wednesday and decided
not to accept Congressman Sibley's de

to certify him to the secretary of state
as the candidate of the Democratic par

There are 6,000 cloak and clothing
operatives on strike on the east side of
New York. It is estimated that 400

Strike.
Hox. JosF.ru C. IU'cher. of Lewis
burg, on Tuesday filed with the secreta
ry of state, in accordance with the
seventh section of the ballot reform act,
his withdrawal papers. Mr. Bucher
sometime ago announced that he would
not accept the Democratic nomination
for congress-at-Iarge and this formal
withdrawal is the end of his candidacy.
This leaves two vacancies to be filled by
next Tuesday's convention. Chairman
Stranahan has not yet received a form
al letter of withdrawal from Judge Buch
er.
General X. B. Banks died at his
home in Waltham, Mass., on Saturday
last. The prolonged contest iu 185C.
which ended in his election as speaker
of the national house of representatives
first attracted wide-spread attention to
him. He was nine times elected to
congress and was three times elected
governor of Massachusetts. During the
last war he served as Major-General of
volunteers and at one time commanded
the Fifth army corps. He held many
other otiiees of honor in his native state
aud was universally esteemed for his in
tegrity and worth.
One of the curiosities of railroad build
ing is the construction of a road running
from Ismid, a harbor atiout sixty miles
from Constantinople, to Angora, about
300 miles. Thebridges, sleepers, string
pieces and telegraph poles, as well as the
rails, are of iron, nine-tenths of which
is of German manufacture. Thebridges
are about four to the mile, there teing
1,200 of them, the longest having a
Btretch of 500 feet. Iu addition to these
there are sixteen tunnels, the longest
measuring 1,4.0 feet. This is the only
railroad which penetrates the interior of
Asiatic Turkey, the Smyrna lines being
near the coast.
A few days ago a New Yorker was
bitten by a dog, which a police justice
ordered to be killed. The owner sued
out a writ of prohibition, and Justice
Gaynor, of the supreme court, in pas.4
ing on the case last Saturday, said that
under the common law a dog was not
property; that it was not a crime to kill
or steal him. adding, however, that the
world moves, and that now a dog
is
property. His master has rights in him
But the dog has rights of his own. He
"has from the beginning been the friend
and solace of man, and law has only rec
denized the testimony of human nature
history and poetry in withdrawing him
from outlawry."
A telegram from Washington says
the'financial stringency seems to be at
an end. This is indicated by the in
crease in receipts, and it affords much
gratification to treasury officials. The
receipts from customs and internal reve
nue have been comparatively heavy of
late, and have brought the cash balance
up beyond the danger point. The gold
reserve is also gaining slowly, and it is
exjected that as soon as cotton and
grain shipments set in in earnest the
tide of gold will again 6et toward these
shores. The winter trade is expected to
exceed that of last year. The situation
is regarded by the treasury officials as
very encouraging, aDtl puts the necessity
of another bond issue out of the ques
tion for some time at least.
Evidence that a new condition, and
not a theory, confronts the business
world and that it is a better condition
than has prevailed for a year or more,
has been furnished by correspondents of
the Jtet-ord in Eastern Bennsylvania,
.New Jersey and Delaware. Industries
that have for months been idle, or at
best operating on the short-time plan,
are resuming operations.
One prominent Cumberland countv
capitalist, with very large investments at
home and considerable holdings of Iowa
land securities., reports not only a gener
al revival of trade and industry in East
ern Pennsylvania but. the Iowa farmers
have begun to pay off mortgages which
he holds, some of which would not fall
due for two or three years yet.
The general purport of the business
canvass throughout the regions indica
ted is very encouraging. ,
Ix a contested election case before him
Judge Lyon, of the Berry county court,
recently rendered a decision that is of
general interest in the construction of a
part of the new election law. Election
officers iu a certain township, in that
county, returned 145 and 14G yotes as
polled for tax collector. Two ballots
cast for the candidate receiviue the 145
votes were marked with a simple single
Stroke instead of a cross. Those two
were not counted by the election ollicers,
aud were made the basis of the contest.
Judee Lvoj held that section 14 of
the act of June 10, lSH.'i, six-citically
prescribed and required that a voter in
designating his choice on the ballot
whether at the top of the party column
or in the space opposite the candidate":
name, must do so by a cross mark
The act, the -Judge declares, on that
point is not directory but mandatory.
If the voter chooses to disregard the
plain mandate of the law, and mark his
ballot in some other way, he voluntari
ly disfranchises himself. The election
officers, in refusing to count and return
ballots marked in any other manner than
than the law clearly iirescrilrf-s, cannot
be accused of improper conduct.
A stroke on a ballot tribes no indica
tion of the intention of the voter, the
Judge maintains. The election officers
are left iu doubt as to whether the voter
intended to vote for a candidate on the
ballot or a blank ballot. To attempt to
count ballots so marked would be mere
matter of conjecture aud oien the door
to fraud.
A little thoughtful reilection will
make clear the soundness of this deci
sion. Bersons who desire to have their
votes counted must mark their ballots
with a cross (X) as the law directs.
Pennsylvania, says the Bhiladelphia
Ilrevnl, that was to te prostrated and Ut
terly cast down when sacrilegious hands
were laid on the McKinley tariff sched
ules, doesn't show a tremor. On the
contrary, her manufacturers and mer
chants and transportation companies
keep well at the front in the line of re
sumption and renewed business activity.
Instead of getting too much tariff revi
sion l'ennsylvania did not get enough.
The failure of congress to put iron ore
and coal on the free list is a drawback
and hinderance to the manufacturing
prosperity of the state.
For the past two years it has been
dinned into the ears of the people night
and day that the distressful condition
of business affairs that has lecloudcd
the country would le intensified when
the wicked tariff reformers should lay
their impious hands on protective tax
rates. Workingmen were threatened
with complete loss of employment or a
choice of starvation wages. Women
and children were almost afraid to go to
sleep at night lest the free trade bogy
should break into the house and eat out
its substance, leaviDg uothiug but bare
walls and penury.
Thousands upon thousands of persons
who have been oppressed with an honest
dread of tariff reform will awake to a
knowledge of the actual condition with
the relief experienced on shaking off a
nightmare. From this time forward the
movement toward unfettered industrial
and commercial activity will le acceler
ated by fuller knowledge. It will be
hailed and anticipated as a process of
betterment and of emancipation from
economic mistakes and delusions.
A few days before the new tariff
measure became a law, the St. Louis
(Ufle-Dcmocrit, the great Republican or
gan of the southwest, notwithstanding
f '
I its contrary name, said: "The Iieruib-
lican papers which are predicting
that the tariff bill soon to Income a law
will extend the existing financial troub
les and create some new ones are com
mitting a serious blunder. It is a blun
der lecaiise the things prophesied have
no chance to come to pass and the
prophets are well aware of this. An
improvement in business, marked
enough to le seen by everybody who
wants to see, has taken place since the
bill was sent to the President. The
changes in duties, on the whole, are
not radical enough to effect industries
injuriously. Two or three months
hecce the improvement in business will
be so marked and so persistent that the
croakers of to-day will le confounded
and humiliated. Partisan capital can
not be made out of the gloomy ratiocin
ations which emanate from certain Re
publican journals and statesmen at this
time."
The question has been raised in the
commissioners' office by County Com
missioner Wertz as to the condensation
that the county commissioners are legal
ly entitled to receive. In Is.S'.i a general
law was passed fixing the compensation
oi county commissioners at y;s.;u er
day for each day actually and necessa
rily employed in the discharge of the
duties of their office. Previous to that
time the commissioners of this county
had been paid at the rate of $400 per
year in accordance with the provisions
of a special law passed about 1870 and
only applicable to Cambria county.
Immediately after the passage of the
act of 1SS9 the commissioners of this
county proceeded to charge for their ser
vices at the rate of 13.50 per day al
though it seems to be a well settled
principle in law that a special act of
assembly cannot le repealed by a gen
al law. Commissioner Wertz has raised
the question and the indications are that
the commissioners will hae to go back
to the old rate of $ 100 per year.
A tower building designed for the oc
cupancy of Gl different small manufac
turing concerns is under construction at
Pittsburg, in which no belting, shafting
or pulleys will be used. A complete sys
tem of electric motors will be installed
on each floor, the power for which will
be supplied by a 250 horse-power steam-
driven electric generator located in the
basement.

1NU LO-S. OF LIFE.
St. Paul, September 2. The town of
Hinckley, in Pine county, about half
way lietween this city and Duhith, has
been wiped out by forest tires, and the
list of dead nuy reach 1. . It will
certainly exceed 2H), and the reports
now being received would indicate that
the larger figure would not ie too great.
On the train to day from there were one
or two people who came through the
tires anil gave graphic stories of the
scene.
The train from Duhith reached a
point a mile and a half north of Hinck
ley sometime after midnight, and was
forced to return to a point five miles
away on account of the threatening
tlames. Half a dozen of the passengers,
however, secured a handcar and rode
through the llames to Hinckley, taking
the northbound train this side of there
and returning on it to this city.
On their ride on the handcar they
counted 27 dead lodies along the line of
the railroad: 17 were discolored at Hinck
ley during the morning, and 21 cithers
have been found up to 1 o'clock. They
say the people of Hinckley ran to the
woods when their houses caught tire.
The whole country around Hinckley is
on tire, and the full extent of the disas
ter cannot le learned for a day or two.
Pine City, Minn., Sedtemler 2.
Pine City has turned the skating rink
and court house, as well as many pri
vate houses, into hospitals, where 50 suf
ferers are receiving attention. The
school house, church and hotel, U-sides
some stores, are used to shelter them by
aight.
Whichever way the eye turns, heart
rending scenes are witnessed. The hos
pitals and streets are thronged with peo
ple seeking their missit.g loved ones.
As Sfon as each train comes in from
the north there is a frenied rush of
pallid inquirers, some of whom are
doomed to disappointment forever.
Fathers seek wives and children; sisters
their brothers: youths their mothers, and
occasionally are made to rejoice by find
ing them. Few families are complete,
and the torture of anxiety and despair
is driving some people out of their
senses. A man going insane; a patient
groaning life away; a premature birth;
a heap of cinders representing a human
form these are a few of the incidents
of the great forest tires of 1S'.4.
No trains are running ;west of Hinck
ley, and it is imos.-ible to get accurate
information. Carlton, Rutledge and
other towns in the north are reorted
burned to the ground. The Eastern
Minnesota is gutted out, and the Omaha
has fared little bettor. The Eastern
Minnesota train from Hinckley for St
Paul at 4 o'clock, the limited on Sun
day, took aUiut 500 jteople to Duluth,
all of whom are reported all right. This
train got over the bridges safely a few
minutes lefore they burned.
Iron Mountain, Wis., September o.
The whole northern and eastern coun
try is a mass of ruins. Yesterday the
people of Norway had to tight the fire
for 10 hours to save their town. The
intense heat may be judged from the
fact vegetables were cooked in the
ground, Captain John Perkins losing
1,000 bushels (f turnip in this manner.
It is estimated that 200,000,000 feet of
timher has been scorched, but if lum
bered at once the loss will be but 10 per
cent The railroad tracks are badly
warped in many places. Late Saturday
night a train was derailed by warped
rails, and the engineer, named, Alm
quist, a resident of Outagon, was in
stantly killed.
Ironwood, Mich., September 3. Tre
mendous forest tires are prevailing
throughout the upper peninsula of Mich
igan and Northern Wisconsin. The dis
trict lietween Watersmeeth and lksse
mer, over fifty miles, is a mass of seeth
ing llames and homesteaders are making
desperate efforts to escape.
Goebic has been destroyed and it is
expected that Wakefield will experience
a similar fate. Ironwood, Hosenicr,
Hurley and Saxon are surrounded by
tires. There is very little water and
thousands of men are out with picks
and shovels and succeed in keeping the
flames back only by throwing dirt upon
the burning stumps and brush.
Maskfd Men Rob a Bank.
Kansas City, Mo., Septemlter 1.
Shortly after '. o'clock this morning four
masked men rode up to the bank of Tes
cott, 14 miles north of Salina, and, dis
mounting, and enuring, covered Cash
ier Sidmore with revolvers. The leader
demanded that the cashier turn over the
bank s funds. A farmer who was in
the bank and tried to escape was covered
and told not to move. Theroblcrs tired
several shots, and the cashier threw up
his nanus and allowed them to rifle the
bank. They secured SlO.OOOand es-
CaiH'd.
c n gaining tne outside the men
turned and ran toward where their
horses were tied under the bridge, about
loO yards east of the bank. Citizens
gathered and fired several shots at them,
and John Swart, a lad, was " wounded
in the leg by the return fire of the rob-
oers, who then mounted and set out
southeast.
Death Mrikes a irl Peacemaker.
NEw York, Septemler 4. In trying
to stop a quarrel between Charles Dor-
emus, a builder, and her father, Mollie
Hayes, aged 10, received a blow on the
head from which she will probably die.
Hayes taking his daughter with him,
went last night to see Doremus at his
heme in Brooklyn to settle an old busi
ness matter.
l'h ere was a dispute and Doremus,
seizing a eaib, attempted to strike Hayes
Mollie had been begging the men not to
quarrel, and now threw herself between
him and her father. The club struck
her on the head, knocking her sense
less and fracturing her skull. Doremus
was arrested, and is almost insane from
grief.
An OH Driller Cremated.
Carnegie, Pa., September 4. William
Standish, an oil well driller in the Mc-
Curdy oil field, was last night burned to
death. Standish was seventy feet up in
the derrick assisting in pulling the cas
ing from a supposed dry well. When
the casing was started the well began to
flow, lhe oil ignited from the loiler
lire, and in an instant the derrick was
enveloped in llames. Standish's body
was charaed leyond recognition. He
was 32 years of age and leaves a wife and
six children.
Democratic Victory In Arkansas.
Little Hook, Ark., September 4. Re
turns from thirty-three counties indicate
increased Democratic majorities over
two years ago, although the total vote
will likely le 20 per cent, less on ac
count of the new election law. It is es
timated that the Democratic state ticket
is elected ly at least ,25,0t0 majority.

M asiiingion Letter.
Washington. D. C. August 31. 1S!4
Chairman Wilson, before leaving Wash
ington, took occasion to express his
opinion freely concerning the effect of
President Cleveland's letter to Represent
tative Catch in gs upon the congressional
campaisn. Mr. Wilson endorses every
word said in that letter; also the actien
of the President in allowing the tariff
bill to Income a law without his signa
ture, and believes that the letter will le
of much service in preventing luke
warm ness of tariff reformers towards
Democratic candidates. Mr. Wilson al
so disposed most effectuality of the Re
publican argument that the promise of
additional tariff reform in the future,
which the President made in his letter,
meant another general tariff bill anil its
consequent upsetting of business. Con
cerning this tar-fetched argument he
said: "The work of tariff reform will
be continued by easy graduations and by
special reductions from time to time un
til we have accomplished our purpose.
There will le no other general tariff bill.
The tariff rates will remain stable on the
great majority of articles, and it will lie
upon comparatively few that the perfect
ing of details will le necessary in order
that the tariff reform law placed on the
statue looks shall le wholly consistent.
This work will Ik? performed, however,
in such a manner as neither to disturb
the business conditions of the country
nor to affect either the employer or the
employed." Mr. Wilson isconfulent of
his re-election, no matter who the Re
publicans may run against him.
Representative Warner of New York,
who strongly believes that sugar should
have lieen made free so as to down the
sugar trust, said of the President's letter:
"The President projKtses to go at the
thing right this time. He leads out in
an attack against the trusts which occu
py the most strongly intrenched, posi
tion in the center of the protection line.
When once we carry tiie center of the
line and rout the trusts, the rest of the
light will le easy enough, and we will
get free raw material and everything else
we want without any difficulty."
As a rule, all Democrats: who really lx-
lieve in tariff reform, and there are few, I
very few", who do not, strongly com-
mend President Cleveland's letter to Mr.
Catchings, and predict that it will do
more to keep the Democrats in control of :
the house than any one document that '
will lc a factor in the campaign.
President Cleveland does not intend
to return to Washington until Octolier,
unlesssomething of great public imjiort
ance now unforseen shall make it neces
sary for him to do so. In the
meantime no public business will be ne
glected, as he has arranged to have all
matters requiring his official attention
forwarded to Gray Cables, where with
the assistance of private secretary Thur
Ikt, au executive oilice will be maintain
ed. Secretary Carlisle will not be able to
take an extended vacation this year, as
there will Ik many questions arising out
of the administration of the new tariff
law that will require his personal atten-
iion ana wnicn ueiav in

would
seriously inconvenience many
-S men. The condition of thp
business men. The condition of the
treasury is much totter than it has lKen
at the end of any month recently, and
the probabilities are all in favor of a con
tinued improvement, owing to the in
crease in receipts under the new tariff.
All of the other mem tors of the cab
inet will take vacations. Secretary Her
tort went away last week, combining
business with recreation by making a
tour of the Atlantic coast navy yards;
Secretary Lamont left with President
Cleveland, and will remain in New York
for several weeks; Secretary Gresham e.x
lccts to get away in a few days for a
month's stay, a portion of which will to
spent in Indiana and a M.rtiou fishing;
Attorney tieueral OIney has gone to Bos-
ton and' the three or four weeks he ex-
pects to lie away will le spent in and
near the that city; Secretary Smith, who
ninmij oven u me seasnore lor a
few days, will sjend two weeks in Geor
gia; postmaster general Bissell has gone
to Buffalo where he will meet Mrs. Bis
sell and decide where his vacation shall
be sjent, and secretary Morton will de
lay his departure until the middle of
Septemtor, when he will go to Europe.
Washington hasn't had a chance to
miss congress yet. This week the uni
formed rank Knights of Pythias, aU.ut
10,000 strong, are holding their annual
encampment here and the southern de
velopment convention, an organization
engaged in booming the southland, is
also in session here. When things get
quiet the absence of congress will begin
to to regretted. M.

Bellefonte, Pa., Septemtor 4. Owing
to the illness w hich has confined him to
his room for the past three weeks, ex Gov
ernor A. G. Curtin will not to able to at
tend the national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic at Titts
burg next week. He was slightly totter
to-day than he has been at any time
during his illness, but was permitted to
sit up only a few hours. The old war
governor has never fully recovered from
a fall he had on the ice in front of his
Lome last winter. It was such a shock
to his system that the least excitement
completely prostrates him. Even in his
present condition he is so enthusiastic
over the encampment that were it not
for the opposition of his wife he would
undertake the journey to Fittsbnrg.
