The mystery gurr.utiJiiik? the recent
wholesale poisoning f M people at a
silver wedding anniversary party in Blair i
county, has finally been cleared up.

V. E Si'Rague brought 6uit against
the directors of Otto township, McKean,
county Ta., to compel the directors to
admit his children to the schools of this
district after they have been expelled for
non-compliance with the compulsory
vaccination law. Sprague's petition al
leged that the act was unconstitutional.
Judge Morrison's decision denied the
claims of the petitioner and upheld the
law.
President Clevelasd, on Wednesday
afternoon, in a significant speech, for
mally recognized the new greater repub
lic of Central America, composed of Sal
vador, Nicaragua and Honduras, by re
ceiving in the east room of the executive
mansion at Washington, the envoy of
the diet of the new government, J. D.
Rodriguez, who was accompanied by his
secretary of legation, Luis F. Cerea, and
his attache, J. D. Rodriguez, jr. Secre

The two new furnaces of the Csrnegie
Heel Company hold the record of the
world's production of pig iron. The
enormous production of COO tons daily
has leen cast at each furnace during the
last three weeks. The average output
for 24 hours at the Braddock bla.-t fur
naces, which previously held the record,
is said to be about CG0 tons of iron.
The two furnces are making all the iron
needed to operate at the Duquesne steel
works, which until several months since
obtained all their raw iron from the
Carnegie ccmpany's furnaces at Brad
dock. The new United States cruiser Biook
lyn, which has been lying at League
Island navy yard since going into com
mission three weeks ago, will start on
her first official cruise next Saturday.
Fhe will steam first to the naval station
at Newport, R. I. After her torpedoes
have been taken on board the cruiser
will proceed to Brooklyn, where the cit
izens of that municipality will formally
present to the ship a handsome silver
service. After this ceremony and the
attendant .festivities have been conclud
ed the 6hip will go to Hampton Roads
and join the Atlantic squadron.
Two armored locomotives built by the
Baldwin Locomotive Works for the
Spanish military corps in Cuba furnish
the current issue of Cassier's Magazine
with the text for an article on "War Lo
comotives." Such armored railroad en
gines have been in war service for twen
ty years, if not longer; and England in
one of her early Egyptian campaigns
found them effective instruments for of
fensive as well as defensive operations
in the enemy's country. The modern
war locomotive is an iron and steel suc
cessor to the original type simply bul
warked with sandbags. The two engines
teit from Cuba have cabs of
heavy steel plate, capable of resisting
rill halls, and the windows and doors
arefitted with 6teel 6hutters, having loop
holes through which the guards can op
erate, rirles or the machine gun which
is to be mounted in the cab.
Senator Cameros on Monday present
ed in the senate the report of the com
mittee on foreign relations favorable to
the adoption of the following resolution
"Resolved, By the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America in congess assembled, That the
independence of the republic of Cuba be
and the same is hereby acknowledded by
the United States of America; be it fur
ther resolved
Resolved, That the United States will
use its friendly offices with the govern
nient of Spain to bring to a close the
war between Spain and the republic of
Cuba."
The resolution was accompanied by an
extended report citing a number of his
toric instances where intervention has
occurred. Action on the resolution has
been deferred until after the holidays
The business revival that was to fol
low so quickly after the election has not
yet materialized. There has been a cer
tain sense of relief from the strain and
tension and uncertainty of the canvas,
ana that is ail. . As soon as it was
known that McKinley was elected the
gold standard newspapere especially
those which were formerly Democratic
desirously proclaimod that a great
business boom had burst upon the land
Their columns were full of accounts of
furnaces being relighted mills being
started, shops opened, forces of hands
increased, new industries started, bank
deposits increased gold imported and
wheat raising in price. Some of this
cf course, was to be expected. After
the suspense of a loDg and heated polit
ical campaign it is but natural for busi
ness to revive. After every presidential
campaign there is some revival, no mat
tcr which party is successful, but there
was no good substantial reason why the
bewildering boom, should follow Mc.
Kinley's election, and there hasn't been
any such boom. On the contrary there
have been heavy failures aad shutdowns,
reductions of labor hours and of wages
and men are going around the country
hunting work and finding none, just the
ame as before the flection.
Thk problem of what to do with our-convii-U
is one th-U is always musing
more or L-ss trouble. It is conceded
that they should be employed in some
useful occupation, but in whatever way
we employ them opposition is sure to
arise on the ground that ihy are com
p -ling with Jree labor, and thus dimin
ishing its chances of reward. There if
some force in th? arguments that ar.
urged in this behalf, t.iough it hardh
over comes the one to the effect that it i.
better that criminals should repay th
KTionsA nf tbeir maintenance by thei
labor, rathe' than they should be sup
ported in idleness at the expense of thi
public. It is conceded, too, that th
state owes it both to society and to th
criminal that he should be employed,
so as to inculcate, if possible, habits o
industry and make him a useful mem
ber of society. G veroor elect Tanner
of Illinois, has been in favor of employ
ing the criminals of the state in makmt
and repairing of public roads. He be
lieves that in this way the great demand
for good roads may be met, iu time at h
minimum of expense, and that at th
same time there will be no objectionable
competition with free labor.
Those interested in criminology and
in goods roads throughout the Union
will be glad to see the experiment tried
on such a scale as w ill be possihle iu II
linois. There has been experiments ol
this sort in some of the similar states,
but they have not been sullicieotly sys
tematic Or on a large enough scale to be
vainahle. If the state of Illinois, with
her large number of cirminals. shall bt
able to devise a system whereby their la
bor can be employed safely, economical
ly, and without interfering with propei
discipline, in the construction of a sys
tem of good roads throughcut the state
then it will have killed two very valua
ble birds with one .'tone. It will have
solved the road problem and also th
vexed question of convict labor, aud the
nthrr Btafes of the I'nion will not t
slow to follow its example.
At the convention of the American
Federation of Labor at Cincinnati las'
week a report, says toe N-w ork un
was adopted in favor of making elghi
hours a day's work after May 1, 1897.
fhe report also recommended that mas;
meetings of wage earners be held through
out the country on public holidays id
n 1S'.7.
The first of May is the favorite date
set for the beginning of the eight-hour
millennium, but under such condition?
as now prevail, and are likely to prevai
for a good while yet, the first of April
might more appropriately lie selected
Only in a few favored trades and occu
pations is the eight hour day feasible;
and the labor organizations, of which
the feneration or iaoor is the most im
portant, represent only a trifling propor
lion of the workingmen and working
women of the country. As for the em
ployers, they will pay eight hours' pay
for eight hours' work, and they will pay
no more; and until they can be made to
pay more the eight-hour day will re
main an illusion. Most people have
to work more than eight hours a day,
and it is hard to see how tl
are going to give up the practice. Will
farmers ana laborers wives, lor in
stance, most domestic servants, farmers
and barn laborers, sailors, great lawyers
and business men be expected to join iD
the demonstrations which the Federa
tion of Labor is going to provide nex
year?
If ever the government comes to be
everything and the individual citizen
nothing, the little difficulties in the way
of the eight-hour day maybe removed; i
out dv mat time me woria win nernaos i
.. . i t i - 1 1 '
hare reached such a height of econo
mic science as to be able to do away with
work altogether.
Coincident with the appearance of
the "advance agent of prosperity" iu
Chicago, says the Pittsburg Post, there
have been several large business failures
it that city, the last one being that of
the National Bank of Illinois, one of
the leading banks of the city, with de
posits of over $10,000,000, A clearing
house committee oflicially declares that
because of "unwarrantable and injudi
cious loans the capital and surplus of
the bank is seriously impaired, if not
lost." The customary assurance is giv
en that depositors will be paid in full.
The clearing house statement was given
out on Sunday, the same day that Ma
jor McKinley left Chicago for home.
We do not, of couise, connect him with
the failure, or hold him in any way re
sponsible; but it is well enough to re
call the fact that from August to No
vember the country was overwhelmed
with pledges that with the election of
the '-advance agnt" financial, business
and industrial prosperity would envelop
the land. And in the little spurt after
election columns were devoted to show
ing what a blessing the election result
had been. We are just as moch in the
trough of the sea, only a little deeper,
than we were when Cleveland was issu
ing bonds to maintain the gold stand
ard. J t'DGE Ewixg, of Pittsburg from the
bench has made a very clear statement
as to the senatorial situation. In nat
uralizing applicants for citizenship one
of the foreigners in answer to a ques
tion said: "I don't know how a Uni
ted States senator is chosen." To this
Judge Ewing promptly responded;
"Well I don't blame you very much.
I think we are all a little mixed iu this
question. We used to think the repre
sentatives of the people had something
to say in the matter, but just now in
Pennsylvania one would think the Uni
ted states senators are nominated and
elected by one man."
What Senator Quay wants, what Sen
ator Quay will favor, whom Senator
Quay will oppose, these constitute the
text of every Quay organ and Quay fol
lower in the state. Is Quay for this can
didate, is he against the other? No one
seems to inquire what preference, if any,
the people may have.

The whole Cuban business was virtu
ally postponed until January when the
.sanat a.bmted Senator Morgan's resolu
tion asking the president t furnish all
the information about the present situa
tion in Cuba he has, as President Cleve
land is hunting on the coast of South
Carolina and congress had already
adopted a resolution providing for a re
cess from December 22 to January 5
The speeches made on the subject in the
house and senate have been about as ef
fective as the excited meetings held
throughout the country.
The executive committee of the Bi
metallic Union has been here for sever
il days, preparing to continue the edu
cation 1 work for silver. All the i r n -inent
silver men iu congress have been
conferring with members of the commit,
tee at different time', but there has
teen no single meeting of all the silver
men yet
Although Senator Allen's resolution
for the appointment of a senate pom
mittee o investigate the alleged whole
sale use of money in the late national
campaign was offered without coiiMitta-
tion with Democrats, its spirit meets
their aonrobation Democrats have
ever since the remarkable results of the
election in a number of states were anr
nounced been anxious to investigate the
why and wherefore of tnc nbnormal in
crease in the total vote cast Benaior
Allen had read in connection with his
resolution a list of state in which Bry
an's vote largely exceeded the winning
vote of 1S'.'2 and yet he was defeated bv
heavy majorities. Senator Gorman say?
he is ' e tain that the total alleged vote
of Maryland y. as at least 20.000 in ex
ecs of the adult male population on the
first of last January, and he would like
nothing better than to find out where
the excess came from. According to
-some of the best parliamentarians. Mr.
Aliens resolution will have to lx changed
a little in order to be effective For in
stance, Seuator Morgan said; "If Son,
ator Allen makes his resolution joii.t.
and it shou'id pass the senate and house,
here would be no doubt of the authori
ty of congress to prole the matter to its
furthest depth. The senate alone, as I
view it, cannot inquire into an election
as a president."
It is not probable that Secretary Fran
cis, whose nomination has not yet leen
acted upon by the senate, will be among
those which will be left pigeon-holed
when the Fifty-fourte congress expires
at noon on the 3rd of next March, al
though it is altogether out of the usu
hI for action to be deferred on a cabinet
nomination. It is a good 10 to 1 let
that the nomination of a considerable
number of gold Democrats will be killed
by non-action.
RepresenUtive McMillin, the ranking
Democratic member of the house ways
and means committee, says of the reck
less haste of the Republicans in getting
a tariff bill ready for the extra session
of congress: "The Republicans are de
termined to return to the old principle
of high protection. They are not satis
fied either with the present law or with
the Dingley bill. They propose to again

There is no way to get this back into

Almut 10:30 last night Eliza Ann,
Martha and Charlotte Wiibour, aged re

burned to death in their home on Spring

guished the llames and removed the bod
ies from the house a servant girl was
found asleep in the attic, but she was
not eeriouslv affe?cted by the smoke.
The elder sister was an invalid aud the
younger one was apparently bathing her
with alcohol, which was in some way
ignited and set their clothing on fire.
One of them rushed into another room
where the third sister was abed and set

The sisters were daughters of Norton

An wfnl Mining Horror.
Budapest, December 19. An explo

Rescuing parties entered the mine as

who were seriously injured.
It is known that 27 miners are still
entombed, but whether they are alive or
not is uncertain.
Efforts to reach the part of the mine
