John II. Jordan, K., a Republican
R.-pirant for congressional honors from
ISedfurd county made the announcement
one day last week that he would with

The Blair county commissioners

A iTsrATCH from Rome to the Pall
Mall Cnz'ttf states that advices from
Cairo leave little doubt that England
has commenced negotiations with
France in reference to the evacua
tion of Egypt. It is added that Great
Rritain is inclined to make concessions
with the view of meeting French suscep
tibilities regarding the occupation of
that country. M. Cambon, the French
ambassador to Turkey, has gone to
Cairo, presumably with the negotiations.
F.ih.ak V. Nye, popularly known un
der his jen name of '-Bill Nye." the
humorist, died at his home. Buck
Shoals, X. C, on Saturday. Since he
abandoned his lecture tour, about a
month ago, he has been a close invalid.
Mr. Nye was born in Shirley, Me., in
1V0, and grew up on a farm. He
st .id ied law later, and in 1S76 went to
Wyoming Territory, where he was ad
mitted to the bar. He afterwards de
clared that his clients could be hanged
effectually without the expense of a
lawyer, so he look to writing for the
newspapers and the lecture platform.
William A. Srossi.ER, late president
of the wrecked Perry county bank of
Sponsler A Junkin, for a number of
years the leading member of the local
bar at Xew Bloomtield, Pa., and the
local Republican competitor of Judge
Lyons in the recent judical contest, has
spent his first week in prison. His rela
tives have fixed up his cell comfortably.
He has his books and a writing table,
and, in anticipation of a long imprison
ment, it is the intentiou to have his cell
papered. When the Perry county bank
c.'osed it owed iu depositors 120,000.
All his property has been sold and less
thau 10,000 was realized.
Twenty-five of the twenty-eight Re
publican congressmen of this state have
sent Senator tuay a letter asking hini to
le a candidate for the presidency, and
Mr. (tuay has shown his- epistolary
promptru'-ss by answering by return
jnail that he is willing. The correspond
eucc demonstrates that, unlike Govern
or Morton, of Xew York, he will not
have the backing of a solid congression
al delegation. Nevertheless it shows
that bis candidacy is a substantial en
tity; and if it shall have no other effect
upon the canvass, it will, at least, cou
gtitute a new nightmare to the caval
cade that disturbs the peace of the Mc
Kinley contingent.
Now that the art of armor forging can
scarcely be further advanced, especially
in view of the recent Pent sylvania dis
covery of a superior finish to the Har
veyiziig process, progress appears about
to be made in an improved manner of
using armor plate. A French naval ex
pert has hit upon the idea of construct
ing p:ates of slabs of steel that will pro
ject their edges, and not their faces to a
projectile. The Age of 6teel comments:
"By this method the resistance is of a
llexible nature, insuring a rebound that
can more successfully resist penetration.
Damaged sections can easily be removed
and replaced, and as they are intersected
by hollow tubes vibration is absorbed
nd the impact of shot considerably re
iueed."
The last two annual elections, says the
Bellefonte Watchman, had the effuct of
putting the Republican party in a cock
sure frame of mind that would not al
low it to doubt the certainty of it-? elect
ing the next president. That was re
garded as a decree of fate, and the only
question was whether it should be Mc
Kinley, Tom Reed, Harrison, Morton
or some other Republican who would be
put into the white house on the 4th 'A
next March.
These oversanguine people did not
take into account the proverbial fickle
ness of political fortune. They over
looked so recent an example of the vi
cissitudes of politics as was furnished by
the change from a sweeping Democratic
victory in 1S02 to an equally sweeping
Republican victory two years after.
The change that occurred in that brief
time was due to a deception of the pop
ular understanding, which, however has
been nearly dispelled by a better concep
tion of the facts, and the work of en
lightenment will go on for nine months
until the presidential election.
There are many things that are aiding
this enlightenment. Nothing is doing
so much to help it along as the congress
that is now in session at Washington.
It must be a very dull man who cannot
see that its only purpose is to derange
the finances and depress business in or
der that the trouble arising from such
conditions may be blamed on the Demo
cratic administration. This is intended
for political effect in the coming cam
paign. It may be clissed as congres
sional manufacture of calamity. The
people see what it is intended for.
Congress has been in session nearly
three months, and there has not been a
single measure passed. It is not the in
tention to do any legislating, although
ihe president and secretary of the treas
ury have almost imploied the passage of
measures that would save the public
credit from the ruin caused by previous
Republican legislation. But the mana
gers in congress want ruin. That is
what they intend to run the next cam
paign on, and they will endeavor to
make as much ruin as they possibly can
for a political purpose.
But they are making a woeful mistake
in thus trilling with the public intelli-genence.-
The people understand the
game that is being played in congress,
and the longer it is continued the more
it will increase the chance of electing a
Democratic president.
Governor Hastings issued a procla
mation on Wednesday designating Fri
day, April 10, and Friday, April 24 as
Arbor days. The selection of either
day is left to the choice ot the people.
The proclamation states that, although
Pennsylvania was once wholly covered
with a dense growth of valuable timber,
to-day scarcely one-fourth of that area
remains. The timber has fallen off to
such an extent that the commonwealth
is unable to produce the timber required
for its own inhabitants. Of the regions
which, when timbered, were a source of
wealth to their owners and to the state,
not less than 2,500,000 acres are unfit
for agricultural purposes.
Most of this vast area has little or no
mineral wealth and is now an unsightly
and practically abandoned territory.
Fires sweep over it year after year, de
stroying the younger growth and burn
ing out the fertility of the soil so that
this area is passing into the condition of
a desert, becoming poorer each succes
sive year.
Should the nomination of Quay be
made, says the Harrisburg Patriot, the
opportunity would be an extraordinary
one for the Democrats. Of all the can
didates spoken of Mr. Quay in a long
contest would prove the weakest. Even
the nomination of Tom Piatt could not
be a greater party blunder nor one by
which the Democrats could bo surely
profit. Mr. Quay's past record is not
"burnt powder" as some of his political
associates allege. It is importint in
any event that the Democratic nominee
should be an exceptionally strong man;
in case of Quay's nomination it is vi
tally important that he should be the
strongest and ablest available man 60
that the route of the enemy, complete
and overwhelming as it would be,
would be followed by an administra
tion of exceptional force, cleanliness
and patriotism.
The explosion of dynamite which oc
curred at the suburb of Viedendorp,
South Africa, on Thursday of last week,
was terribly disastrous, involving the
death of 100 persons and the wounding
of twice that number. Eight railway
cars, loaded with dynamite, were being
switched from one track to another when
the explosion took place. A hole 30
feet deep was made in the ground, and
every house within a radius of half a
mile was razed to the ground. Accord
ing to the estimates, about 100 persons
have been killed and about 200 serious
ly wounded; about 100 others were in
jured. A popular subscription has been
opened for the relief of the wounded and
homeless, and about $500,000 has been
secured.
Ox Sunday Judge Reed, one of the
Philadelphia common pleas judges, died
suddenly in Xew York City. On Mon
day the leaders of the Quay organization
in Philadelphia were iu conference with
the governor at Harrisburg in regard to
filling the vacancy. They have a can
didate, and, as the governor has aband
oned the Martin combine, will probably
secure his appoiutment. No evidence
of "organized appetite, here. The
greedy politicians might at least have
waited until after Judge Keed's funeral.
Li Hcng Chang, the Chinese statesman,

Washington, D. C, Feb., 22, 1S'J3
Senator Hill is on the right track in his
attacks upon the abuse of the right of
etition to congre??. It has leen made
a cheap way of getting notorii t v for this
or that organizition to send out thous
ands of printed titiotis to be signed
and sent to senators and representatives
with a request that they be sent t con
gress, knowiug that when sa presented
the titles of the petitions and the purpose
for which they are sent would be read
in open session and printed in the Re
cord and iu many newspapers. Senator
Hill proposes to at least partially reform
this abuse of having the petiiious hand
ed to the clerk of the senate who will
put them on file, instead of their being
formally presented by senators, as now
The Republicans are still unable to do
anything with their tiriff bill. Senator
Carter, who vo:ed against taking it up the
other day, has given notice of his intention
to move that the bill be sent back to the
Finance committee for further consider
ation. The matter was brought up at a
joint caucus of Rpublicco senators and
representatives, held last night, but
nothing was decided upon.
The McKinley men declare the sud
den epidemic of candidacy fever among
Republican senators and ex senators is
nothing more nor less than an attempt
ti make a combination of the field
against McKinley, and there is appear
antly foundation for the deeUration.
The Quay-Platt-Reed combine seems to
have become afraid that McKinley
might get nomimated on the first ballot
if they nidn't cut up the vote. They
found plenty of willing tools in the sen
ate, where McKinley has uot one single
sincere friend, and the vote will be cut
up.
Senator Vest, of Missouri, is not one
of the professional "funny" men of the
senate, but he knows how to raise a
laugh with the best of them when he
wishes. An mstance showing this fact
was given this week. Mr. Vest was
making a few remarks when Senator
Peffer got up and began to address the
chair By the time Senator Vest had
turned his eyes upon his whiskers Seua
tor Sherman was also upon his feet and
addressing the chair. "Mr. President,"
shouted Sen. Vest several timt.s without
attracting the chairman's attention, and
then he asked if he might make a parli
mentary inquiry. That caught the
chairman's attention, who at once said:
"The gentleman from Missouri will state
it. Mr. Vest then said with much
solemnity: "I believe I was addressing
the senate, and had the floor, but it
seems that I have no longer got it.
If I can't get it in any other way, I rise
to a parlimentary inquiry tj find out
how I lost it." A titter ran around the
senate, Mr. Sherman apologized for his
interruption, Mr. Peffer sat down, and
Mr. Vest proceeded with his remarks
Secretary Morton's dinner to Presi
dent and Mrs. Cleveland, this week, has
been widely discussed on accuunt of the
original manner in which the table was
decorated. A big plow made of red car
nations was the centre piece of the table,
and upon each side of it were hay stacks
made of yellow spun sugar, under which
were piles of vegetables and farm im
plements all made of sugar. At each of
the four corners of the table was a
wheelbarrow made of candy cabbages,
containing confections in the shape of
confections aud fruits. The ices were
served in candy hay wagons, and the
punch in little cups made to imitate
apples, peaches and pears, and the indi
vidual dishes 'for the stewed terrapin
were china terrapins. This was
the last of the formal cabinet dinners for
this season.
Mr. C. I. Huntingdon can talk a
congressman weary on the benefits of
his proposal to extend the debt due the
government from the Pacific railroads
one hundred years at 2 per cent , but
when it comes to giving substantial in
formation as to the actual workings of
the roads he is about as poor a witness
as could be found. Senator Morgan is
proving himself a thorn in the side of
Mr. Huntington, by driving the magnate
into the corner with his pertinent ques
tions, but about all that Mr. Morgan has
yet been .able to show is that Mr. Hunt
ington could tell much that would throw
light on the subject if he would Wash
ington is fairly 6warming with Hunting
ton's lobbyist's, determined to buy every
congressional vote that is purchasable,
either with mouey or other commodities,
and to bulldoze, aye and even black
mail, those who stand out against their
persuasions. A man who knows, I
think, says private detectives are
shadowing the movements of every sen
ator and representative who is known to
oppose Huntington's scheme, for the
purpose of getting evidence which can
le used to control his vote. Some of
the congressmen who have indicated
friendliness to the Huntington scheme
are living higher that ever tefore in their
lives and it is'nt costing them a cent.
M.
Mailer was Just too Easy.
Langtry, Tex., Feb. 22 Peter Maher
was kuocked out by Bob Fitzsimmons
yesterday afternoon in the firet round
after 1 minute and 35 seconds o' actual
fighting. Fitzsimmons played the same
old game he has so often played before,
landing on his opponent until he had
him where he wanted him, and then
landing a lightning right-hand swing on
the jaw, and it was all over. It was the
identical blow that knocked out Jim
Hall in New Orleans.
For the first part of the round Maher
had the better of it. He led often and
forced the fighting. In his eagerness to
get at Fitzsimmons he committed a pal
pable foul during a clinch, aud was
warned by Referee Siler that its repe
tition would cost him the fight. Maher
fought well, but he was no match for
his red headed opponent, who proved
himself to-day one of the craftiest men
that ever stepped into the ring. Fitz
simmons is now.by Corbett's action iu
presenting the championship to Maher,
the champion of America, and after the
fight was over he declared, through
Julian Julian, his willineness to defend
the championship against any and all
comers.
The fight took place in the bottom of
the Rio Grande river on the Mexican
side, a mile and a half from the Langtry
depot.

here than in anr other nrt nf tu ...
it is seldom that anyone is hanged.

Shamokin, Pa., Feb. 22. Paul Os
man was last night held over a large ex
haust pipe near the Luke Fidler shaft
by unknown highwaymen, his captors
endeavoringl'.o steam him to make a
coufessiou of the wherealmuts of $100
which one of the masked men claimed
the prisoner had upon leaving Shamokin
for his home in Hickory Ridge at mid-
night. Roastiug him until they

Miners found Osmau an hour later, :
having lieen attracted by his moaning. I
Ofman related his awful experience, after
which he became unconscious and sank ,
so rapidly that this evening attending
physicians reported him in a dying con

bone from his knees to his head, while
large blotches of skin were missing from
other portions of his person. Osmau
had no money with him, aud the rob
bors got nothing.
Earth in SaTe.
Washington, Feb. 23. The astrono
mers iu Georgetown university are not
losiug any sleep over the direful prog
nostications from western scientists that
Perriue's new comet, now rapidly ap- '
proaching the earth, will collide with '
us "The chance is not 1 iu 50,000,
000," was the way Dr. Rigge put it.
While admitting the possibility of a col
lision, he said it was so remote it would
le foolish to worry aUjut it. He added:
'The nearest approach to a collision the
earth ever had was in the fall of 183, !
but even then the danger was extremeiy ,
slight. As to the Perrine comet coming
in contact with our sphere I may say
that that is nonsense."
George M. Searle, director of the
Catholic University's observatory, holds
the same view, saying that the comet
receutly discovered in California is now
25.000,000 miles distant from the earth,
and that it would not come much nearer,
while Perriue's comet is also not threat
ening. Another Bali i more Horror.
Baltimore, Feb. 24 Closely follow
ing the Charles street horror yesterday,
in which eight persons lost their lives,
another fire, with probably fattl results,
occured in Canton. Mrs. Frederick
U se left her four children in charge of
her son, William, aged 11, for a few
minutf s, about t o'clock. The kerosene
lamp in the room grew dim and the boy
essayed to refill it without extinguishing
the llame.
An explosion followed that scattered
the burning tluid about the room and
set fire to the clothing of the children.
Xeighbors rushed to their assistance, but
three of them are thought to be fatally
burned. They are: Louisa, aged 8 years;
Hannah, G yeais old, and Mary 1G
months old. William was also badly
burued. but not so seriously as his lis
ters. They were removed to Johns Hop
kins' hospital, where little hope is enter
tained for the recovery of the three
gills.
Trouble in Nicaragua.
Washington, Feb. 24. According to
news received from San Juan Del Norte,
Nicaragua, an uprising is again immi
nent in that country. Xewspapers have
leen suppressed but reports brought to
San Juan by passengers from the interi
or are to the effect that the city of Leon
has declare.! itself in favor of Baca
against President Zelaya, and demanded
Zelaya's resignation.
Zelaya considers himself strong enough
to put dowu the movement, trusting for
support to the conservatives and the
friendly government of Honduros.
Great excitement prevailed through Nic
aragua, especially as most of the arms
and amunition are in Leon. The latest
advices are that Zelaya has declared
himself "dictaior" and that all his min
isters have left him. At last reports the
people of Ion wer up in arms and a

Tne Woman Sated Him.
New York, Feb. 21. While skating
yesterday John Mitchell struck a weak
spot, and, breaking through the ice
found himself iu deep water. Several
young woman immediately went to
Mitchell's assistance. An excited man
attempted to aid the young women, but
was pushed out of the way without cere
mony, and the girls went about saving
the man's life in their own way. Two
of the girls lay down on the ice, and the
others held on to them, while they
reached into the water and seized the
drowning man by the arms. Consider
able vigorous pulling resulted in bring
ing Mitchell out on the stronger ice,
where he soon recovered his breath and
went home.

Wichita Falls, Tex.. Feb. 20 Two
robbers have entered the City National
bank of this city and demanded the
money of Cashier Dorsey, who resisted
them. Shooting began, resulting iu the
death of Cashier Frank Dorsey and the
wounding of Bxkkeeper P. P. Lang
ford. Langford's wounds are not seri
ous. Wing slight flesh wounds. The
robbers secured only a few hundred
dollars in silver. They then mounted
their horses and made a run for their
lives. By this time many of Ihe citizens
had armed themselves and a small bat
tle took place. One of the robbers
horses was shot from under him, and it
is tK-lievHl the roblx-r was wounded.
He mounted behind his partner and
alout one mile from town met a farmer
in a buggy. They took his horse and
made a break for the hills. In the
meantime the citizens had secured
horses and at last rejxirts they were
within a quarter of a mile of the rub
bers, with gnl prospects of overtaking
them. Captain McDonald and his rang
ers are on the trail. It is U-lieved a
hanging bee will take place if thev are
caught. A reward of I,OO0 is ottered
by the Panhandle and City National
banks for their capture, dead or alive.
The roblM-rs are corralled in a lartre
thicket in the middle of a pasture nine
miles from town. The thicket is sur
rounded by 25 or 30 determined men
who are fully armed and escape is
almost impossible. They have sent in
for 2" additional men, and they have
just started. Foster Crawford, one of
the robliers who killed Cashier Dorsey,
is said to be a noted desperado. It is
also refuted that one of the famous
Christian gang was the other man.
TWO BANK OFFICIALS SHOT.
Hold, but lniircerul Attempt to Rob
a Itauk In ArktnuiM.
Warrex. Ark.. Feb. 2. A daring,
Imt unsuccessful, attempt has teon made
to rob the Merchants and Planters'
bank of this place. The men entered
the bank, ami two of them went behind
the enclosure where Mr. Adair, the
cashier, was seated in conversation
with Messrs. T. M. Goodwin and D.
W. Sutton. Their first salutation was:
"Hold up your hands." Mr. Adair
sprang for his pistol when the men
commenced shooting, and Mr. Goodwin
received what is thought to be a mortal
wound, and Mr. Adair was shot through
the shoulder. He returned the tire, and
evidently wounded one of the men, as
when he rode off he was seen to be
bleeding.
The tiring of the pistols startled the
citizens who came running from all
direc tions, and the robbers were forced
to retire without accomplishing their
object. As they rode out of town they
kept up a fusillade of shots and went
out northwest of town.
ONLY THE LEADERS HELD.
t of the Steamer Itermuda Filibus
ter Keleaned.
New York, Feb. 2(5. Commissioner
Shields has ordered the release of all
the men arrested in connection with
the Bermuda filibustering expedition
with the exception of General Garcia,
Captain Hughes and two other leaders.
These have been held on bail for trial
March 3.
The prisoners were released because
their arrest, was iu violation of the in
structions sent out from Washington
last wwk, by Attorney General Har
mon, that- suspicion merely was not
sufficient ground for arrest, but that
evidence of intention to violate the
neutrality laws was required.
Th expedition was the largest that
has yet been fitted out in the interest of
the Cuban revolutionist. It" came to
grief by the seizure, iu this harbor, of
the steamer Bermuda, flying the British
Hag. The steamlighter J. S. T. Strana
h.in, which was loaded with arms and
ammunition, was also seized, as were
the tugs McCaldin Brothers and Will
iam J. McCaldin, which had carried
aUmt M Cuban filibusters aboard the
Bermuda. United States marshals and
l'inkerton detectives, the latter iu the
employ of the Spanish government,
aided in the seizure and took the fili
busters ashore.
THE SOUND MONEY FIGHT.
Carlinle Predict That Drmorralic Mone
tary UinVrcncea Will He Settled.
New York, Feb. 26. Secretary Car
lisle was a guest of the Manhattan club
last night, and many conspicuous iu
both parties were present to meet him.
Mr. Carlisle, at the banquet table, said:
"I wanted to le here tonight because.
I knew that your halls would be
thronged and your tables surrounded by
old-fashioned Democrats who have
never repudiated, and I am sure never
will repudiate the princials of their
party, sound money, just taxation,
economy in the expenditure of the pub
lic moneys, honesty and fidelity in the
discharge of oicial duty, and the
preservation of individual liberty and
the rights of the states.
"Now it is proposed to condemn this
ancient democratic policy, at least 60
far as it relates to the maintenance of a
sound and stable currency, by authoriz
ing the free coining of silver at a ratio
which shall make the legal tender silver
dollar worth alxiut one-half as much as
the legal tender gold dollar."
