The Democratic National convention
will be held at Chicago July 7th. Such
was the decision readied on the 2lth
luWjt ly the national committee on
Thursday of last week at their meeting
in Washington after a spirited contest in
which Chicago won a bare majority,
with Ix-uis only two votes behind.
A r-F eat many bills are being offered
in congress to have the military record
i.f soldiers of the late war "corrected."
Iu it her words soldiers, who are on the

fered five bills for the "correction of re

The house on Friday passed the pen
sion appropriation bill to the considera
tion of which it had devoted the entire
week. The clause in the bill changing
existing law so as to allow widows to ob
tain pensions under the act of 1S00
whose net incomes does not exceed $5oo
per annum was stricken out. The bill
now goes to the senate.
There will probably be an unfavora
ble report upon the demand of the Ter
ritory of Arzonia for admission into the
I'nion as a state. As to this particular
matter the Grand Old Tarty finds itself
f :st in its own trap. The half fledged
birdlings it has coaxed in among the
eagles have turned on their sponsor, and
are dictating a financial policy to suit
themselves. Arizonia will have to wait.
The Baltimore grand jury in its report
says: "There is in the city jail a whip
ping post, erected for the especial pur
pose of indicting punishment to wife-tM-aters.
ThU post has not been used
for a long time but the jury are of the
opiuion that were such punishment
oftener inflicted there would be but few
c:isos of wife-beating, instead of, as at
present, the many which were brought
before this body."
At the Fifth" A venue hotel in New
York on Friday night, ex-Trtsident Har
rison formally announced his engage
ment to Mrs. Dimmick, niece of his
late wife. There was a crowd of news
men about the hotel at 1 o'clock, when
Col. Tibletts, General Harrison's private
secretary, handed them the following:
"General Harrison authorizes the an
nouncement that he and Mrs. Dim
mick are engaged to Ix married, and
that the marriage will not take place
until after Lent."
The state supervisorof natural gas, Mr.
J. II. I.each, in Indiana, announces in
his annual report that the gas territory
is Incoming smaller, and that the sup
ply is gradually decreasing. This is not
a nit re matter of optnion with the su
lervisor, but a fact demonstrated with
mathematical precision, as appears by
his further statement that the average
rock pressure is now 250 pounds to the
square inch a decrease of i5 pounds
since natural gas was discovered, nine
years ago. From thisstate of facts, and
from other facts which had been set
forth previously, the supervisor is of the
opinion that "we have entered upon a
p riod of decline, and that the supply
will finally become exhausted."
Some fears are expiessed by Republi
can journals and businessmen that the
horizontal 15 per cent, advance in tariff
rates may in some instances operate to
decrease reveuue by making duties pro
hibitory and in others only increase the
profits of trusts. Criticism of a measure
never intended for any other than bnn-
comle purposes is perhaps thrown awav.
but it is gratifying to perceive that not
all of tne protectionists would be willing

The annual meeting of thestate board
ot agriculture began its sessions in the
supreme court chamberat Harrisburg on
Wednesday with fifty-two counties rPn-
resented by sixty delegates. After the
election of othcers reports were submitted
by the heads of bureaus of the depart
ment of agriculture.
A resolution requesting congress to
discontinue the distiibution of seeds
through the agricultural department was
auopteu. 1 he board decided not to ac
cept the annual appropriation of f 1,000

ance of which would legislate the mem
bers out of office in 1S17. Arrange
ment were made for a meeting to be
held at Ambler, Montgomery county,
next October.
Aside from the leisurely manner in
which the Venezuela commission is ar
ranging to prosecute its work there are
other indications that the administra
tion has lcome convinced that this au
gust body will not have the honor of set
tling the great boundary dispute.
While it cannot be stated positively that
this Ulief is based entirely upon any
specific reports from Ambassador Bay
ard upon the subject, yet there is reason
to believe some assurances of a satisfac
tory nature have come to the state de
partment that the matter will be termin
ated shortly, probably within two
months, or before a report reasonably
can be expected from the Venezuelan
commission, and upon lines that will be
pnobje tionable to our government- ,
A repoft prepared by Secretary of In
ternal Affairs LatU, shows the taxes
paid last year by thepeop'e of Fennsyl
vania for the maintenance of state,
county, city, borough and township gov
ernments. The report contains returns
from the commissioners of every coun
ty in the stite except Schuylkill and is
the most complete and comprehensive
ever issued by the department on the
subject of taxation.
The consolidated returns show that
the total amount of taxes collected for
the support of the poor was $1.5y3,7o3,
13. This amr.unt is levied and collect
ed directly and does not include all mon
ey expended for the purpose. There was
appropriated during the year from the
county treasuries for the support of the
poor in counties having almshouses
742,GG4,0), which added to the amount
collected directly makes a total of $2,
33,419,9y. The amount collected dur
ing the year for the construction and re
pair of streets, roads and bridges was
i9,019.1S5,77.
In the sixty-six counties making re
port it is found that the common schools
have made necessary the levy and col
lection of tl 1,930,907,91. This does
not include the amount received by the
school districts direct from the state
treasurer. The amount of taxes collect
ed for purposes, other than 'hose al
ready mentioned, was 25,373,290,S7.
This includes the amount expended by
the several boards, of county commis
sioners for the support of the county
governments. The counties making re
turn collected $47,917,140,48 in taxes
for all purposes during the year.
Under special subjects of taxation it

Members of the Democratic national
committee are authority for the state
ment that Mr. Cleveland has announced
positively that he will not have armom
ination. The men making this state
ment will not permit their names to be
used. The statement has len made
to their colleagues on the committee by
two or three of the committeemen who
are friendly to Mr. Cleveland and have
talked with him on the subject that Mr.
Cleveland voluntarily announced to
them that he would not run for a third
term and authorized them to let the
committee understand this.
Mr. Cleveland is quoted as saying that
he does not feel called upon to make an
announcement in the newspapers, but
would like his friends on the national
committee to know his position. These
confidants of Mr. Cleveland go further
and say that if anything should occur to
warrant his doing so, Mr. Cleveland will
at the proper time make a formal an
nouncement, taking strong grounds
against a third term.
There is one fact, and it is all im
portant, which must not be lost sight of
in the discussion of the British claims
against Venezuelan territory, and that
is their changeable and unreliable char
acter. The only rights she ever ac
quired in Guiana are those she obtained
from Holland in 1814 at the time of the
cession of that country. Even England
does not claim any new acquisitions by
treaty since then, and yet she has since
that time claimed three separate and dis
tinct boundaries, each one taking in
more territory than the one that preced
ed it. The moment a few score or a few
hundred Englishmen stepped across the
boundary line, either for residence or
for trade Great Britain promptly extend
ed her protecting care over them by
pushing her boundary fifty or a hun
dred miles into Venezuelan territory.
This is how and why she is now trying
to steal this big tract of country.
The annual report of Secretary Edge,
of the department of agriculture deals
with the work of the reorganized de
partment and outlines what is proposed
to be done this year by each of the
bureaus. Especial attention is directed
to the efforts to stamp out the traffic in
oleomargarine and adulterated food pro
ducts. The result of action thus far
proves that adulterations are largely
confined to the substitution of lower
grade articles, for the purpose of ena
bling manufacturers and dealers to com
pete with other low grade goods. Cases
in which materials injurious to health
are used as adulterants are rare, and ex
cept in the case of the use of copper for
coloring pickles, might possibly be at
tributed to accident rather than design.
The Harrisburg Patriot, says Attorney
General MeCormick has collected 350
from the sureties of Henry Conn; of
Johnstown, late captain of company H.
Fifth regiment, under proceedings insti
tuted by Adjutant General Stewart
against Conn for misappropriation of
the company's annual allowance.
This ia the first proceeding under the
bond of a captain of the National Guard
for the misappropriation of money.
Two other cases of shortage are under
consideration by General Stewart.
The failure of the Florida orange
crop has caused many remote countries
to be drawn upon to make good the
shortage. Oranges from the Holy Land
have recently been offered for sale in
Chicago. The fruit is light-colored, oval
and carefully packed. It was grown
near Jerusalem, and was in excellent
condition when received ia this country.
Masliirjsrion letter.
Washington, D. C Jan., 18, 1S96
"Hurrah! for the winner." That's
what all good Democrat- are shouting
to-day whether they are members of the
national committee or just pNin, every
day IVmocrats. This is ouly mother
iihistratiou proving that 'nothing suc
ceeds like success." Yesterday when
the Democratic National committee met
to decide upon the time and p!.-"e f'r
holding the next national conventiou its
members while practically unanimous
as to the lime for holdiug the conven
tion, were divided as to which of the
competing cities should le given the
honor of entertaining the couvention.
To day, after a contest, which although
spirited was good-natured from start to
finish, they are all shouting, "Hurrah!
for the winner " Let every Democrat
hope that the same spirit wih animate
the delegates to the convention and that
when the nomination is made every
Democrat, north, south, east aud west,
will shout "hurrah! for the winner,"
and then take off his coat and go to'
work to make him a winner.
If the members of the national com
mute rellect the opinions of the Demo
crtts of the states they represent, the old
Democratic party isn't ready to pass in
its checks just yet A more cocky set
of men never assembled in Washington.
They believe to a man that the Demo
cratic party has a chance to revive its
fortunes and to elect the next president,
and that all that is needed is to put up a
candidate who will unite the party and
bring out the voters who have for one
cause or another become disgusted and
refused to vote. And they believe fur
ther that this can be done. It all de
pends upon the rank and tile the plain,
every day Democrats. There are enough
of them tD carry this country. That
has been repeatedly proven within the
last twelve years, and can easily be
proven again, but only by united action.
Let every Democrat appoint himself a
committee of one on the good of the
party, and there will be there can be
no doubt of the result. If the Republi
cans elect the next president it will be
solely the fault of men who believe in
Democratic principlas but do not live --p
to them.
Dr. Tatten, president of Trinceton
colleee, was recently in Washington, for
the Secial purpose of inviting I'resident
and Mrs. Cleveland to attend the celer
bration of the 150th anniversary of that
institution. No official announcement
has been made but there is reason to be
lieve that the invitation was accepted.
Commissioner LocbreiTs report of the
condition of buisiness in the pension
Bureau is an effectual answer to the
slanderous slurs upon the administra
tion of that office which are constantly
made in certain quarters. It shows that
on December 1. the business of the office
was practically up to date. Since then
the calls of congressmen, often nearly
1,000 a day, and largely unnecessary,
have resulted in throwing the business
behind.
Of the interior workings of the office
the report say: "I am satifised that the
officers and clerks are bringing every
effort to bear upon the prompt and
proper adjudication of all the several
classes of claims now pending. Cases
that are ready for adjudication are
promptly disposed of, and apparent (de
lays are usually the result of negligence
or inability on the part of claimants or
their attorneys to supply uecessary evi
dence, after being notified, often repeat
edly, of the necessity for furnishing
such evidence."
Senator Mills, of Texas, made a seech
this week on his resolution, containing
what he believes should ie declared to
the world as the financial policy of the
U. S. This resolution contains seven
distinct declarations, which may be sum
marised thusly! 1st, against retirement
of outstanding legal tender notes; 2nd,
in favor of the coinage of the silver bul
lion in the treasury; 3rd, in favor of the
issue of emergency legal tender notes in
case of a deficiency in the revenues; 4th,
against the issue of in erest bearing
londs; 5th, in favor of payiug govern
ment obligations in both gold and silver;
0th, repudiating the theory that a public
debt is a pubile blessing, 7th, urging the
maintenance of a sinking fund for the
rapid extinguishment of the national
debt
Secretary Morton this week told a joint
meeting of the house aud senate com
mittees on agriculture that his action in
refusing to spend the money appropria
red for the purchase of seeds for free
distribution was, in a measure, due to
abuses such as congressmen selling their
entire quota of seeds which had cost the
government about $300 for each quota
for $75 each. He told the committees
very plainly that he didn't believe the
good accomplished by free seed distribu
tion amounted to even a small fraction
of what it cost.
The action of the British government
in affording the same protection to
Americans residing in the Transvaal re
public that it does to its own subjects
has been extremely well received in
Washington and has done much towards
restoring a friendly feeling towards the
English.
Mr. Reed is allowing his house to in
dulge in some pension talk this week,
on the regular pension appropriation
bill, and the senate is discussing the free
coinage substitute for the house bond
bill. m.
Kassia's Tit (or Tat.
London, January 23. A dispatch to
the Times from St. Tetersburg says that
the czar has confirmed the budget.
The navy for the next seven years is to
have a total of 403,000,000 roubles,
57,500,000 roubles of which is for the
current year increasing half a million
roubles annually. Should foreign na
vies grow faster it is expected that these
credits will be increased. The main ob
ject is to reply to the appearance of eve
ry new English battleship, and especially
of the cruiser type, by the production of
a Russian one of equal or superior pow
er. The Berlin correspondent of the
Time believes the government has al
ready abandoned the idea of introducing
a special measure to increase the navy,
finding that there is no likelihood of
support for it.

Wilkesbarre,
, Ta.. January 20. A rn-'
mor whs started to-dav to the effect that I
three skeletons had beeu discovered in
the old workings ot the Diamond mines,
formerly ierated by the Iehigh and
Wilkesbarre Coal company, though idle
for the past ten years.
Superintendent Morgan was seen this
afternoon and said he had heard of the
rumor but was unable to confirm it.
He will to-morrow send a ptrty of min
ers into the old working, and if the
skeleton are found they will be brought
to the surface. The rumor started from
a statement made by Teter Wahbill,
who is now in prison for shooting Krup
sivage at Georgetown last week, in
which he claims that he had killed a
man some months before and hurled
his dead bodv down the deep shaft of
the Diamond mine. If the skeletons
should be found they are probably those
of foreigners who were murdered for
their savings and their bodies hidden in
the dark recesses of the mine.
Thesenstiot al story of the findingof the
skeletons has caused no little excitement
in the neighborhood of the mine. For
a long time past men have leen missing
after having accumulated sums of mon
ey, and it is now thought that an orgau
ized band of thugs are at the bottom of
these mysterious disappearances, and
conceal their bloody work iu the inner
workings of abandoned mines.
District Attorney Fell has been notifi
ed, and, with the aid of the county de
tectives, the matter is to be thoroughly
sifted.
A Cataslrnphe Narrowl Averted.
Hazleton, Ta., January 20. A fright
ful catastrophe was narrowly averted on
the Lehigh Valley railroad here to-night.
The Wilkesbarre express train approach
ed Sugar Ixwf. one mile eist of here,
just as the tracks began to sink into a
coal mine. Engineer Michael Ixmzer
sized up the situation and with great
presence of miud put on a full head of
steam. The earth dropped for eight
feet and ihere hung over the abyss.
The engine made the leap in safety tak
ing the train with it, but jumped the
track on the outer edge. The engine
then toppled over, pinning the brave
engineer leneath it and crushing his life
out. Fireman Fred M. Eyer sustained
a fractured skull and may die. Brake
man Seiwell was thrown through a win
dow. All the passengers, about seventy
five in uuniter, were badly shaken up,
but, as far as can be learned, none were
seriously injured. The earth has since
dropped out of sight.
Killed by a Toe Corn.
New York, January 19 Captain
Benjamin H Warford, 04 yea: s old died
this afternoon in St. Vincent's Hospital,
under peculiar circumstances. Captain
Warford was troubled with a painful
corn on the small toe of his right foot.
He became his own chiropodist, and
about three months ago applied a patent
corn salve to the alllicted spot. Instead
of giving relief, the alleged remedy pro
duced an inllammation, which rapidly
extended.
It soon became apparent that virulent
blood poisoning had set in. Then the
sufferer was removed to the hospital.
Every effort was made to hold the dis
ease in abeyance and bring the patient's
condition up to a point where he could
safely undergo an ojeratiou.
He grew steadily worse, however, the
poison fi lally taking complete posses
sion of the sufferer and causing death.

Russia Remains Nrntral.
St. Tetersburg, January 19. Russia's
policy at the present moment is stead
fastly to avoid being drawn into any
combination or complication with Ar
menia, Germany, England or Abyssin
ia, but to keep the oriental question ever
the foremost.
The Xowsti, commenting on the
friendliness of the English press, says:
"We esteem her high civilization, but
we see the defects in her policy, which
is purely egotistical. An alliance could
be used only to her, not to us. France
and Russia must remain neutral."
The Vudomont, says: "Russia must
confine herself to the orient."

We would like vou to see our I). Jt J.
Anderson's
Madras and Zcphcr
Ginghams and Novelties.
We don't mean to say this is the only
store at w hick yon can get this celebrated
manufacture, but wc believe the selections,
take the line all through from first to last,
is superior to auy, if not all. They make
nice, fine goods, as you well know, and
thousands of patterns, many of which, like
every other line of goods, have not the
style and daintiness that women in this
age w ant, and we believe our eulhusi&sin,
or if you choose to call it egotism, about
kis store's collection is pardonable w hen
we are pefectly willing aud anxious to sub
mit samples at our expense for your criti
cism, if you cannot come. Of course we
do this to get your orders, and we know
that if the goods are as choice iu your
judgment as we say l hey are. it will be to
your interest to buy fiom us. We are big
buyers of these line Scotch goods, have a
large range of patterns and many pieces of
each, but it's natural that the choicest
should go first, and as we are anxious todo
business with you would urge you to see
them promptly then when you get some
thing beyond the ordinary, as you surley
will, you'll keep this store iu miud for fu
ture purchases.
Many other choice Wash floods have ar
rived and are now on sale, including beau
