The ceremony of laying the corner
stone of the Western Pennsylvania In
stitution for the Feeble minded at Polk,
Venango county, was gone through Sat
urday afternoon, and was attended by
many prominent persons of the state.
After an insjection of the grounds by
(overnor Pattison and the Commission,
the brief ceremony of laying the stone
legan. It was swung from a derrick
alove its companion stone, in which was
cut the niche for the traditional box of
oltl coins and records. On its front was
simply carved the state coat of arms
Ex Mayor Rose, of Johnstown, who is a
nienilxT of the commission, rehearsed
the history of the site's selection, and
addresses by Governor Pattison followed.
Ax exchange says: Experiments are
leiiig conducted by employes of the
Bait'more and Ohio railroad with the
object of ascertaining whether locomo
lives cannot be made noiseless and
smokeless while in actual service. Two
locomotives have been equipped with a
patent steam exnaust, which, it is
claimed, will save half a ton of coal from
Baltimore to Martinsburg. This steam
exhaust is a mechanical appliance about
me size oi a pecs measure that is
fastened on the cylinder. The exhaust
steam, instead of rushing out of a 4i
inch nozzle and making a noisy puff, is
allowed to escape through a group of
small pipes and passes through the stack
easily and noiselessly. This also makes
an easier draught in the fire-box.
Jons Hlher, of Mechanicsburg, was
recently convicted of selling liquor on
Sunday and selling without license.
His counsel questioned the constitu
tionality of the Brooks High License
law, and held that, inasmuch as the title
does not correspond to the body of the
act, it is unconstitutional. They asked
for a new trial on that ground alone.
In deciding the matter to-day Judge Sad
ler said he had no doubt that, as far as
selling on Sunday is concerned, the
Brooks law is unconstitutional, and for
that reason he would not sentence Hu
ber on that count; but as the verdict on
the second count, selling without license,
was not contestsd, he would overrule the
motion for a new trial anil sentence him
on that count. Huber was sentenced to
$.00 tine and three months in jail.
It is reported at Washington that Sec
retary Carlisle will devote at least a par
agraph of his annual message to the
income tax by calling the attention of
the lawmakers and the publie to the
fact that congress at its last session failed
to make an appropriation to carry out
that portion of the Gornion tariff bill.
It is not thought that the secretary will
recommend that an appropriation be
made at the coming session, but that he
will content himself with laying the
facts before the members of congress for
such action as they may desire to take.
Although it cannot be stated with posi
tiveness that the income tax could not
be collected, if no money should be ap
propriated for the work, yet no official
of the treasury department is willing to
express the opinion that the internal
revenue bureau could assume the great
task of doing the work which, in Secre
tary Carlisle's letter to congress last
session, he said would necessitate the
appointment of at least 250 deputy
pullectors and an expense of $500,000.
A very interesting analysis of the vote
in the late election, and comparison
with the vote in IS'.'-, lias been made
by Mr. Frederick C Waite, of Wash
ington City, a statistician who was a spe
cial agent in the eleventh census. Mr.
Waite's conclusion is that the stay at
home vote caused the political revolu
tions in lioth years named. This vote
on the tith inst., he places at the enor
mous total of 5,0(i0,XR. Mr. Waite
says:
"To show that the Kepr.b'ican farm
ers did not vote for Cleveland in Is'.'- I
analyzed the election returns town by
town, throughout the rural districts of
New York, and discovered that the rural
vote for Cleveland was even less in IS'.'l!
than in 1SSS in every agricutural coun
ty of the Empire state. In Ohio it was
just the same. Cleveland's vote in IS'.':!
was less than in ISSS in all rural town
ships of the agricultural counties. This
year the Republicans have not cast as
large a per cent, of the full vote as in
1 S80 in a single state. Hence, the only
reasonable conclusion is that in lsi-j the
dissatisfied Republican farmers, and this
year the discontented Democratic labor
ers, joined the stay-at-home voters.
It is the stay-at-home party which has
made such phenomenal gains. The
immense Kepuoucan piurautu-s mi.
year are not the result of an extraordin
ary Republican vote, but of an exceed
ingly small Democratic vote. Wiscon
sin has not polled for the Democrat
ic candidates such a small percent
age of her full vote for 25 years. In
Pennsylvania the Democratic party has
not cast as small a vote for half a cen
tury.
Is an article entitled, "An Essential
Condition of Prosperity," contributed to
the December number of the North
AmerUau liri-if-w, the Hon. James H.
Eckels, comptroller of the United States
currency, contends that there can le no

upon the statute book affecting our cur

that confronted the country at the time,
in the belief that a difficulty might be

The attorney general has received no
tice from fifty jualified electors of the
Sulllivan-Wyoming judicial district oi
the contest by Judge Sittser, Democrat,
of Tunkhannock, who was defeated for
re-election by twenty-nine votes by D
W. Dunham, Republican. The matter
has been referred by the attorney genera;
to Governor Pattison, who will issue
commissions to President Judges Searle,
of Susquehanna; Archibald, of Iicka
wanna, and Rice, of Luzerne, to hear
the contest. The act of 1S74 requires
the three president judges iesiding near
est the courthouse of county where con
test is made to sit.
Sittser alleges that for a number of
election precincts in the district ballots
with a cross in the circle in the Republi
can column and a mark opposite Sitt
ser's name in the Democratic column
were counted for his opponent. Sittser
contends that these ballots should
have been counted for him. If his con
tention is sustained he will likely be
seated, as more than enough ballots
marked in this way were polled to give
him a slight majority over his opponent
The Susquehanna county farmer, says
the Philadelphia Times, who came to the
conclusion that there was nothing any
longer in wheat as an investment, and
by turning his attention to buckwheat
tlour at $4.20 per barrel, not only adds
to his bank account, but strikes a pro
fitable line when it is considered that
winter extra wheat sold the same day at
$2.25, Wheat has long held its own as
attractive crop to the farmers. The
acreage was small enough during a eriod
of the war to bring prices up to $2.tV a
bushel, but acreage his increased to
such an extent in recent years as to
knock off the two dollars and make even
the sixty-five cent figure quite shaky.
There are any numlier of farmers raising
wheat and the world is producing more
wheat than it can consume. The north
eastern Pennsylvania farmers, therefore,
with land admirably adapted to buck
wheat, can make no mistake in taking
the Susquehanna granger's departure
from established usage as a pointer.
The twenty-five or more members of
congress who have coolly requested the
the sergeant-at-arms of the house to
please forward their mileage, as they do
not care to go to Washington many of
them having failed of re-election have
been stunned by the receipt of the in
formation that no mileage can be paid
except to members who actually attend
the sessions of congress. The effect of
such notification may be to lessen some
what the abuse of absenteeism at the ap
proaching session; although so far as the
interests of honest legislation are con
cerned the mileage grabbers might just
as well stay at home.
The election returns make Boston the

It is already known that the bids for
the bonds, which will be opened to
morrow at the Treasury department,
are largely in excess of the amount of
bonds to be issued. This will aid Secre
tary Carlisle to carry out ins intention
to surprise some of those who have at
tHimited to defeat the sole object of the

reserve I redempt o;i fund, by obtaining
gold from the treasury in exchange foi
treasury notes in order to use it in mak
ing the first payment of -0 per cent on
bonds they have bid for. The surprise
will be to ignore the bids of all those who
have obtained gold from the treasury
to pay on them, or as many of them as
possible. Some of those who have taken
gold from the trta.-urj for this purpose
did so in violation of their pledged word.
Judge Robinson, of Kansas City, at
present in Washington, thinks the un
expected tidal wave of Republicanism
landed many men in Congress who
would never have been even thought of in
connection with the nomination had it
have been thought that they had the
slightest chance of election. In this
connection he says: '"In 0-".' e'MrK s

absolutely no reason to douU Mr. Clark's
re-cleetioii, and the Republicans nomin
ated a music teacher against him.

off speech making in other parts of the
state and ia other states. Nobody
dreamed the music man would win, and
I guess it's the first case on record where

Representative McMillin, of Tennes

fully Study the political field, but he is
willing to put this language oti record:
"You mark my prediction, the Repub
lican party, even in its hour of triumph,
will not dare to re enact the McKinlcv
law nor to adopt a national platform in
the next campaign which advocates do
ing so. Protection for protection's sake
has been twice condemned at the polls
since the enactment of the McKinley
law, ai.d it has not been resusilated by
the recent Republican victory." Mr.
McMillin believes that when the official
figures are tabulated it will he shown that
the total Republican vote of 1 s'.i 1 was
less than that of 1'.'2. when Harrison
was defeated for President ami the Dem
ocrats elected nearly as many members
of the house as the Republicans did

Senator Blackburn, chairman of the
senate committee on rules, has arrived

.Mr. t l v land's Poor Health.
Washington. November 21 Presi
dent Cleveland's health causes some anx
iety to his friends, not that his condi
tion is Serious, but he suffers severe
pains. His trouble is rheumatism or
gout of the foot. The two are so simi
lar, and physicians disagree so much as
to which, that it is r question which he
has.
The President is very careless in his
eating, does not diet himself nor take
exercise necessary to keep a man in good
condition. Yesterday, with its damp
ness, aggravated the pain, which is in
tense, and kept him closely confined to
Wood ley, his summer residence. The
sprain to the foot, caused by stepping on
a pebble alKut a week ago, increases the
inconvenience and the pain as well. It
has teen several days since the Presi
dent came to the White House, and tin
less his trouble yields more quickly to
treatment he may be confined at home
several days longer.
President Cleveland's frequent spells
of ill-health add to the evidence that he
does not take care of himself, and that
his physical condititin is not satisfactory.
Agreed to Disagree.
Johnstown, Pa., Nov. 2S. It was
announced to-day that Charles Barnes
and his wife, who was formerly Mrs.
Ann Fenn, had agreed to disagre-e.
They were married a few days ago by
Bishop Whitehead, of Pittsburg. Mr.
Barnes is worth $75,000 and his wife,
whose first husband and nine children
were drowned in the flood of ltvv.t, owns
property valued at from $4O,0t0 to $50
000. It appears that Mr. Barnes has al
ready engaged lawyers who will show
for him in court that he gave a deed
conveying all his property, real and
I-ersonal, to his wife, who immediatelv
had it filed in the county courts. This
action aroused Mr. Barnes's suspicion
and he and Mrs. Barnes have not l.een
on good terms since. Several times she
has locked the door on him and prevent
ed him from getting into his apartments.
He will now plead for a cancellation of
the deed on the ground that he was
hypnotized by her w hen he made it out.

about fifty feet above the water. A

little way up the stream. As soon as
the man" had made his perilous leap the
rowers pulled for dear life toward the
point in the water he seemed likely to
strike. A stiff breeze was blowing from
the southwest and the tide was running
in. The w ind caught the parachute and
carried the jumper about fifty feet up the
river. He turned a little over to the
left and struck the water on his left side
and back. He shouted once tr twice for
help. In three minutes the boat had
reached him and he was pulled aboard.
The oarsmen rowed for the shore anil
the tide carried them up to the Pike

taken from the boat, rubU-d down and
dressed. Menier says he feels as well as
he ever did in his life, and is none
