He had intended leaving tl, ono.oou for a library, but Winchester, W. Ya., gets it instead. A si-fiTAi. from Salineville, Ohio, says that every coal mine in that immediate vicinity is in full operation for the first time in 10 years. These mines have a capacity of more than a hundred cars per day and are now furnishing employ ment to about t'.oO. most of whom were sorely in imd of some means of earning a living. Indications also point to a r sumption of work at the plant of the SalmeviUe Furnace company, which has Ix en uhe for the last six months. Xixk hundred of the electrical work ers of New York struck on Tuesxlay for an eight hour labor day. The board of walking delegates of the building trades tii dare that if any hrm employs an electrii ian who is not a member of the Kleftrieal Workers' union, they will or der on strike every man in the building trade, and as the board claims their mandate will extend to every man at work anywhere within a radius of T0 miles of the city, 80,000 men will go out on strike when ordered. Somk curious facts were brought to light of the capabilitits of men to labor at high altitudes during the construction of the Peruvian Central railroad. Tois line starts at lama, and proceeding in land reaches its highest point at the tun nel of tiakria, 15.-I3 feet above sea level. It is stated that men were able to do a fair "sea level" day's work as long as the altitude did not exeeed 8,000 to 10.1W feet above sea level; but Ieyond this there was a sudden falling off in the work of one-fourth to one-third up to heights of 12.000 feet, and at still high er elevations 100 men were required to do work easily done by 50 at sea level. Kaii koad construction in 1SD4 indi cates the low ebb of the transportation business of the country. The record is the lowest in twenty years, and the only exceptions in three decades were in l7o, lscr, ailli isiVi. jue notcu year was 1SS7, when lS.COO miles were laid. This year Anonia heads the list with I.:? miles, Illinois comes next with 1 is and then Pennsylvania with 12S. Only one mile was constructed in Ore gon. The total mileage in all the states was l..l-.; in Canada 3l'2 and in Mexi co 74. ( f course, these figures give no narrative of the vast and rapidly increas ing mileage in electric railways, which now contet-t with the steam roads for su premacy. The two hundred miles of the New York and New Haven road, for instauce, is now paralleled in that way iur one hundred and liftv miles. i Coi'XTiNO pairs, says the Pittsburg rt, the test vote in the senate for the consideration of the free coinage bill on Monday showed that the senate on a full vote would stand 43 senators in favor of the pending bill and 42 against, there being one vacancy. Possibly the major ity will lie larger when tiie question comes upon the passage of the bill. It has leen estimated as high as 10. Fi'i free coinage, on a full vote, it appeals there are l2'S Democrats. II Republicans and S Populists. Against free coinage there are 2-") Republicans anil Demo crats. Senator Cameron was the only senator from a northern state east of Indiana that voted for free coinage The rest of the votes came from the south and weft. Senator Quay voted against the silverites. Thus, on this important question, the vote of Penn sylvania was practically neutralized. It can be said that Senator Cameron has the courage of his convictions, as on every vote on the question he sides with the free coinage senators, and a contin gency is possible by which his vote will pass the bill in the senate. The debate iu thesenat - is useless, for should the house pass the bill, which is doubtful, with the chances against it, the presi dent will assuredly veto it. Pressing the bill at this time is to make capital for it in the next congress and with the K?o ple. lint there is a reasonable certainty that no free coinage bill can become a law liefore the 4th of March, ls'.'7. Mr Cleveland is pledged to iuterpose his ve to, and was elected with the clear under standing he would do so, should the emergency arise. NoitoPY, says the Harrisburg 1'itiint. now exjiects financial legislation at this session of congress. The time has pass ed when any action can Ie taken upon acy bill for the relief of the treasury. It is insinuated that the loan proposed by the president is in the nature of a job by which a loaning syndicate will make $ 25,000,000. This mayor may not be true. If it is, nobody imagines for an instance that a syndicate lends money for diversion. If it is not true, then the administration has been maligned for the simple purpose of defeating the bill which would have saved J 1G.0OO, 0O0, iu interest. If the insinuation of jobbery is base less it was none the less the imperative duty of congress to put a stop to the transaction. At any time during tin present session congress Gould have passed a financial bill but it lacked tin disposition to do so and evidenced, in Stead of an inclination to serve the Iest interest of the country, simply a deter initiation to defeat any and every meas sure that might come from the admin istration. ihe house on the idea that somebody was to make $25,0O0,(MHi out of the new loan, defeated the proposed three per cent, short term gold bonds. As a con sequence of this action the higher in terest bonds will be issued and the $25, 000.000 will be lost, together with $H, 000,000 more that could have been saved. Snow fell continuously and in quanti ties never before known in the southern States on Thursday and Friday. The storm raged from Texas to North Caro lina. All the Gulf states are robed in white. In Texas snow fell in every county and varied from 2 to 14 inches in depth. There is 12 inches of snow in New Orleans, something never lefore known in the history of that city. At Mobile, Ala., the depth is 5 inches; at Atlanta. Ga., 10 inches; at Columbia, S. C, 0 inches; at Darii n, (la., on the coast, 4 inches, snow having never be fore been seen on the ground at that place. Two inches of snow at Savan nah, Ga.f was such a novel thing that the schools were dismissed so that the children could enjoy the rare sport of snowballing. At Tallahassa and Jasjer, Fla., 2 inchss of snow astonished the natives. A New York dispatch of Wednesday says: The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany has taken the lead in a movement to effect a combination of soft coal in terests shipping to tidewater. F.ach year about this time, an effort of similar im port is started. It has usually ended with indifferent results. The failure has been attributed to the lack of interest taken by the transporting companies, or their refusal to co-operate. The plan proposed to govern the trade of 1S1'5 provides, among other things, that each producing interest lie allowed an output equal to the average of the past five years. Any excess shall Ie as sessed 10 cents a ton. The executiou of the plan is calculated to give producers H) cents a ton at the mine. The trade in this city entertains many doubts as to the ability of the compauies to carry out such a scheme Judge Charles E. Tayijok, under in dictment for attempting to kill Deputy Sheriff Shoemaker, will be impeacned if the Venango county lawyers can do it. The Legislature will be petitioned to in vestigate the judgment upon the charges brought against him. The committee of the Venango coun ty bar appointed to investigate the charges against Judge Taylor on Satur day made their report at a meeting of the Bar Association. The testimony ta ken before the committee went to show that judge. Taylor is and has been for some time, incapacitated for the duties of his office, and that his conduct has been immoral, arbitrary, vindictive and subversive of justice. It is also averred that during the trial of cases Judge Tay lor had used vulgar and indecent lan guage. Although all the 354 members of the Pennsylvania legislature take a solemn oath that they will not use railroad pass es during their term of service, for that is what an oath to "support, obey and defend" the constitution means, if it means anything, yet it is stated only two members of the present legislature have declined to accept the railroad courtesies. M asiiiuictiiu Letter. Waslni.ti-.n, D. C Feb. IS, Is-ir, With the set. ate puilir.t: our way and the house the the other there is little probability that President Clevel.iLd's adiee will Ik? taken to the extent of sav ing f'lii.ooo.ci'O in imtre-t that wiii have to tie paid on. thse " and I per cent bonds The h-i:se ways and means coin miitte has reported a resolution for the saving of those mii-ioiis by aiiihori (lie issue of .". per eol gold bon-Is. 15-.lt nothing can be hoped from the senate, where it has I" en announced by those wiio are siroag en-u-h to make good their language that the only finan cial legislation they will agree to is the bill for the- unlimited coinage of silver, which has teeii favorably reported from the finance committee. This bill pro vides that the government siiai! coin and de'iver for each dollar's wotlh of bullion prtS'iited at the mints one silver Co lar. and that the difference in veiirht shall be retained as seigniorage, and was ori ginally a section of a general financial bill introduced by Senator Jones, of Ar kansas. It would seem that Secretary Carlisle's statement, that the only reason for not at first making public all the details of the contract made for that purchase of gold with londs was that it might ham per the Other contracting paities, and that the administration had nothing to couceal should have U-en sullicient. but it has not prevented some of the Sena tors from making exhibitions of them selves. Senator Hill had a little fun with "his whiskers", otherwise known as Senator Peffer, this week. -"His whiskers", wanted to know why his resolution ask ing the senate judiciary committee to report on the legality of the bond issues by this administration could not at oiiee be acted upon. Senator Hill, a iticnilier of the judiciary committee, said, in the absence of the chairman of the commit tee, he was not at liberty to explain why a report had not been made, but In stated that the committee would be dis posed to get the opinion of the attorney general before acting upon such a qiies tion. This angered "his whiskers" wild said: "Oh, I do not want to hear from the attorney general. I regard my own opinion on this point as good as that of the attorney general " "Then," said Senator Hill amidst laughter on the ll ior and in the galleries? "I have nothing whatever to say, after that statement. " The sarcasm was lost ujoii "his whisk ers", who prompted by his egotism con tinued: "1 have no doubt that I have given it not only more careful consider a. tion. but more intelligent considera tion," This time Senator Hill joined in the laughter which closed the farce. The seuate amendme.it to the diplo matic and consular appropriation bill, appropriating $500, ui) to start the laying of a government cable to Hawaii, has many hitter ene mies in the house, which has refused to concur therein. The bill is now in con ference, and unless the senate recedes a contest lasting to the closing days of the session, and maybe resulting in the fail ure of the appropriation bill is iuevita lle. Secretary Carlisle took some of the conceit out of e.x Speaker Reed this week, but he still has enough left to sup ply a dozen ordinary men. The inei dent occurred when Secretary Carlisle was explaining to the ways an.) means committee of the house, of which Mr. Reed is a member, why and how that bond contract was made by the admin istration. Mr. Reed pompously inquired of Secretary Carlisle why his substitute, which was last week defeated by the house, was not satisfactory to the ad ministration. Secretary Carlisle ans wered by reading a clause of the act of 17-1, which had been overlooked by all the sjK-akers during the financial discus sion, and which would have nullified any benefit that might have been de rived from the Reed substitute. For once Mr. Reed was lost for an answer. Ihe law read by Secretary Carlisle gives the holders of national bank notes the right to have them redeemed by treasury notes, if they desire, ami as the treasury notes are redeemable in gold, it practi cally makes national bank notes also re deemable in gold. The Reed substitute only recognized the greenbacks as re doemable iu gold. There is a heap of ignorance, in congress as well as among the jK-ople, on this financial question.

Spearling had abusexl and ill treat4-d his wife for some time and she complaiinl to the police, who arrested him and he was sent to the Snake Hill penitentiary. This morning the couple had a quarrel in their bed room and as Mrs. Sjearling turned to leave the room her husband seized her and drew a razor acmss her throat, sev ering the w ind pipe and nearly cutting her head from the IkmIv. After cutting his wife's throat Sjx-arling allowed her body to drop to the iloor of the IIroom. He wipnl his hands on the bed clothing and then went into the kitchen. He said to his mother in a calm lone: "Mother, I have killeil her." When the jxli4'e arrived all they could do was to notify the coroner. During the ex citement the murderer made his escape. A Had shot. Old Farmer Wells, who lives on Mau rice River Ray, N. J., had a horse that had outlived his usefulness and which the farmer wished to have put out of the way. The horse had been a pet and Mr. Wells being tender hearted, offered "Iiiizzard" a well-known character about the oyster grounds, a quart of whisky if he would take the animal from its stall some nieht and shoot it. This "Blizzard" agreed to do, but, for some reason, delayed the job a few days. In the meautime a frieml drove up to the farmhouse with a $200 horse. The farmer's old horse was taken from its stall to make room for the guest's horse. "Blizzard" decided that night to do the killing job. He went to the stable, led the horse he found there into the adja cent woods and shot it. The farmer's guest discovered in the morning that his horse had been killed. Hat Stampedes Worshipers.
