u EBEXSBVRO, CAMl'.KIA CO., PA., FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1..T. Iips Alice Holmes, of Jersey City, X. 3.1 aged 77, blind for 10 years, has been leq'ieatbed $300,000 by a deceased brother in California. She has declared her intention of exyendiog the money aid the blind. .John A. Beaver, a nephew of ex Governor Beaver, of this state, has been sentenced to the penitentiary for one year and nine months, in New York, for stealing from his employers and falsifying accounts. Hos. Daniel W. Voorhees, ex-U. S. Senator, of Indiana, and a great Demo cratic leader, is dead, aged 76 years. Mr. Voorhees was familiarly known, be cause of his splendid physical propor tions, as The Tall Sycamore of the Wabash." Humanity is the one power that is strong enough to fuse all the discordant elements which go to make up Congress into solidity in an effort to relieve suffer ing. The joint resolution appropriating JOO.CHH) for the relief of the sufferers from the Hoods in the Mississippi river and its tributaries and in the Red river of the North which became a law last week, received the unanimous vote of Congress. The framers of the Dingley bill are much interested in a semi-ofllcial report from the City of Mexico to the effect that a retaliatory tariff bill is to be in troduced in the Mexican congress this wee-k. It is stated that, in view of the practically prohibitive duty on Mexican cattle provided by the Dingly bill, the Mexicans will place a prohibitive duty on American hogs and packing house products, which comprise one of our most important articles of export to Mexico. Noticed have been posted in all the rolling mills at Coshohocken, announc ing a reduction in the wages of the pud dlers to $2 75 a ton, to go into effect April IStli. The present rate paid pud dlers id $3 '23 a ton. A meeting of pud dlers has been called for Saturday night to consider the ques'ion of accepting the new schedule or striking against it. The wages of all the other employees are reduced to the schedule in oieration lefore the advance of 1S05. This is not the promised prosperity that McKinley was to bring, but it is the kind the peo ple are getting. The administration and Kicg Han na are especially sore over the unmis takable rebuke given them by the re sult of the Ohio elections. They try to make light of the matter by saying that only loial issues were involved, but they km w better, and every body else knows better; knows that the administration ex e :ted and worked for Republican success, which it would have considered an endorsement. Senator Jones, Chair man of the Democratic National com mittee, says: "While I am not at all disposed to attach too much importance to purely local elections, I do believe that the result in Ohio is largely due to the dissatisfaction with the National and State government of the Republi can party. Inere is no doubt in my mind, either that the cause of bimetal lism has made tremendous strides since last Nevember. and I Relieve that more has been accemplished for our cause by the very logic of events than was done by all the campaign methods." Ex-Senator Hill, of New York, warns the Democracy against overconfi dence and undue exultation over recent Democratic victories. We don't think the warning at all needed. No one is so foolish as to regard the elections as decisive of anything in the future. They merely show, says the Pittsburg iVsf, a certain drift which may or may not develop into the proportions of a tidal wave at the congressional elections next year. Politics is becoming a much more un certain quantity than formerly, for the reason, we suppose, that there has of late been a great weakening in party lines and attachments. The Demo crats in and the Republicans in 1S1, achieved great victories, and pre diction followed that the opposition was dead for a long time. This was shown to be groundless as to 1312 and the Democrats, and it will be equally 60 as to 1S9G and the Republicans. In both instances the victorious parties were re cruited immensly by all the odds and ends of politics. Their strength was unduly swollen by the immense multi tudes always in opposition but with no fixed party attachment. This element as soon as it votes a party in straight way proceeds to vote it out. No ad ministration can fulfill a tithe of the pledges made for it on the stump and in vote getting platforms. How is it now with the Republicans and pros perity and the advance agent? Since 1872 no president has been re-elected for an immediate second term. Hayes aud Arthur were refused nominations. Since Jackson's time the only presidents that have been re-elected in C5 years have been Lincoln, Grant and Cleveland, and they were exceptional men of ex ceptional parts. It is questionable if a president will be re-eleeted in the future, unless the pressure of events and mark ed capacity and personality make him a great figure in the history of his time. Party ties are loosing their hold. Tarty discipline is relaxed. The independent and no-party men seem to be able to swing the pendulum, and it is a law of our latter day politics that after a trial they are as quick to vote a party out as to vote a party in. We all expect too much of government, and hence are bound to be disappointed, with the re sulting kick. A a ru'.Ofyas the i Philadelphia Record, legislative committee? of investi gation do not avestigate whore any serious abuses are to be uncovered; but the committee to inquire into the comii tion of the miners of bituminous coa! in Western Pennsylvania has proved an exception. From the investigations of the committee it is seen that the com pany store abuse is practiced in the bi tuminous coal mines arouud Pittsburg with a rapacity and contempt for the rights of the workingmen seldom ob served elsewhere in the Slate. Indus trial employers of labor, no matter how harsh, would be ashamed to treat work ingmen with the iniquity practiced upon them by some mining corporations. There is less excuse for this company store abuse in and around Pittsburg, where stores of every description supply consumers at the lowest rates. It appears from the testimony of wit nesses before the committee that every species of wrong known to the company store systen is practiced by these privi leged corporations. Forehanded work ingmen who demand payment of their wages in cash set an example that is most injurious to the truck system, and a pretext is soon found for discharging them. The prices of all commodities are higher at the company stores than elsewhere, a9 without the opportunity for extortion upon helpless miners there would be no inducement for maintain ing these concerns. In order the more successfully to practice the system, more miners are employed than are needed; and this brings more customers to be plucked at the corporation store. Thus . what with 6hort work and the plundering store system the miners of Western Pennspvlvania eke out an ex tremely Drecarious existence. It is worthy cf obe -vat on that the loudest yelps for "Protection to American Labor" come from corporation mana gers who do not hesitate to practice the most infamous method of filching from workingmen a large share of their hard earnings. For many years the Legislature of Pennsylvania ha endeavored from time to time to extirpate the company store iniquity; but in vain. The Courts, in their jealous guardianship of the right of private contract, have overturned all effective legislation on the subject. Yet in this case the only right of con tract on the one side is the privilege of being plundered. The company store svstem is as contrary to public policy as are contracts to pay gambling debts or liquor bills: but the Courts that have refused to enforce all such contracts have found no ditliculty in maintaining the implied contracts under an iniquit ous device for robbing workingmen. More than fifty years ago the Parliament and Courts of England put the brand on the store system of paying wages in truck as hostile to humane and en lightened public policy. There is no question that the coal com panies which have been under legisla tive investigation in Western Pennsyl vania and other corporations that are guilty of like practice have violated the spirit of their charters. But if these charters should be forfeited nothing would be easier than for the managers of these corporations to go tollarrisburg and for a hundred dollar fee take out other charters under new names. Hence the mere forfeiture of the charter of a mining corporation for exceeding its privileges would do little toward miti gating the profitable company store abuse. But while all mining corporations which evade the laws by selling goods should be prosecuted to the forfeiture of the charters, the legislature should pass a declaratory statute putting the company store system for robbing hon est labor of its wages under the ssme ban with contracts to pay gambling debts, election bets nd liquor bills as equally hostile to sound public policy. It would then be seen whether the Courts, while refusing to enforce a con tract to pay a poker debt Or a whisky bill, would be so inconsistent as to main, tain compulsory obligations of poor miners to receive their wages in the truck of corporations as an alternative to total loss of employment and etarve ation. Let the priveleges of mining corporations to cheat labor out of a part of its wages be brought to the test again and again in the Legislature and in the Courts antil the decision shall be finally made on the side of justice and human ity! In an exhaustive discussion of the principles of taxation by Mr. David A. Wells, now running in The Popular Sci ence Monthly, the principle is asserted and supported with a wealth of politi cal authority and legal decisions that the rightful object of taxation is the support of government and its limit the actual needs of government. It is upon this sound principle that the Demociats of the house founded their protest aganst the Dingley tariff bill. They show that the Republican tariff bill violates the principle in both ways. It levies taxes for the benefit of private enterprise and levies far more than the support of the government re quires. In effect, it collects a bounty for distribution to favored individuals, and in order that this may be done pro poses taxes from $50,000,000 to $75,- 000,000 in excess of the government's needs. The Republicans propose a dou ble robbery of the people. As act passed by the last congress limits the maximum cost Of armor plate for government vessels to $300 per ton. On the recent call for bids for supplying plate for a nurubor of proposed new ves sels, only one bid was received. That was a conditional one from the Illinois Steel company, which the secretary of the navy decided he could not accept. Senator Chandler proposes, by way of thwarting the armor plate combine, that the government seize the Carnegie and Bethlehem plants, under condem nation proceedings, which he claims it has the right to do. .Mr. liriat- Ui an Affldcnt. A b;i!cony at the Sin Marco hotel, St. Augustine. I ll-, from which William J. Bryan had just been addressing a lare concourse of people, broke"-on Thursday night of last wek, and pre cipitated him and about one hnndrtd other jers"ns to the ground teneath, a distance of some twenty-live feet. Mr. Brian was picked up unc n-vious, hut ncovned and expected to le atue to address tu; Legislature at Tallahassee to-day. Several other persons were seriously hurt. Jacksonville, April William J. Brian passed through here early this morning en route from St. Augustine to Tallahassee, where he will speak this afternoon. He seemed to be euferiog considerably from the effects of the ac cident at St. Augustine last night, but his vigorous physique enabled him to keep up and moving. A slight discol oration was seen above the left eye. His face was pale. These are the only outward evidences of the accident, al though a tinge of pain would occasion ally be seen across his face. His limbs are also bandaged in several places, where he received slight bruises. His time while in Jacksonville was spent quietly at the railway s ation. The heavy downpour of rain prevailing, prevented his speaking, and the rest he secured seemed to be very agreeable to him. IlllCltrnt Water Ever Known. New Orleans, April 11 The river gauge fluctuates between 18 and IS 2 feet. This brings the record up to one tenth of a foot higher than given by any official data compiled. The river is certainly booming, and in spots the water washes over the "aprons" of the levees, making extensive deposits of mud. The authorites, however, deny any additional apprehension, and are resourceful in combating any inroads made by the river, rapidly applying temporary harriers of sacks filled with earth and such other devices as appear most expedient. Iu the adjoining parishes of St. Ber nard and Plaquemines the levees suffer most from wave washes, . but officials charged with the duty of maintaining the embankments in good shape are straining every nerve to keep out the water. The present dry weather is a Godsend and the rain-soaked levels are drying quickly, facilitating improve ments. In spite of the rising river the situation can be described as satis factory. Changing the Course. Omaha, Neb., April 13 The Miss ouri river is changing Its channel past Omaha and, in doing so, threatens to destroy property to the value of several million dollars. Last night the river broke through its banks about a mile above where it left the old channel twenty years ago and is to-day running two broad streams across which were yesterday fertile market gardens. These streams run into Florence lake, a relic of a former cut-off. From Florence lake the water is pouring into Cut-off lake, and it now seems only the question of a few hours until East Oma ha is moved into Iowa and all the property in the Hue of the Hood is swept away. But Others Can. Harrisburg, April Rev. Dr. S C Swallow, recently convicted rjf lilK'ling the loard of public buildings and grounds, and who has been trying to get into the ruins of tiie burned capitol to see what he can find to establish his charge that the capitol was burned un der suspicious circumstances, is out in a card in which he denounces the board for refusing him admission to the ruins. He says the bonrd has informed him that it has referred his request to the attorney geueral for an opinion, aud this, he claims, will bar out hs witness es until after the meeting ef the com mittee on the origin of the fire on Tues day evening next. Fits Nij Fight Again. New York, April 13 Martin Julian arrived in this city to-day. He said: "We have never stated that Fitsim- mons retired from the ring, or that he would not fight. If any new aspirants come forward and a good purse is offer ed tit, will not shirk a fight. He has never been a shirker. The talk of Kid McCoy challenging him is nil non sense. ny, Fit, taught him all he knows." Speaking of Brady s threat to chal lenge Fitzsimmous to another fight, Julian is reported as saying: "Brady is not such a fool as to at tempt it and Corhett has no particular desire to meet J ltzsimmons again." Flood Victims Suffering for Food, Little Rock, April 10. Governor Jones yesterday received a letter from island . ., in which it is said that the people there are in imminent danger of perishing. 1 he inhabitants are on house tops, on rafts and all manner of floats, and are entirely without food. There said to I 35 families around the island, and the letter states that unless they receive immediate succor they will certainly perish. One family near the island lost six children in the Hood. Another letter from Iaconia levee dis trict gives a graphic description of the sufferings of the victims in that dis trict. Thieves Loot a Cost office. Lancaster, Pa., April 12. Thieves Saturday night entered the postolhce at leejla, a small village near the city, l 1 . I r , ... - oiew open tne saie anu stole fuo in stamps. Then they visited the jewelry store of A. S. Beiler, broke in the front door and while about to proceed to rob it were surprised by the proprietor, who had been awakened. Ihe robbers fired four shots at Beiler, but missed him Jacob Ash, who lives in the same build ing, was also aroused and was fired up on when he came on the scene Beiler seized a large dinner lell, and when he began ringing it violently the robbers lied. Father and Son Kllltd. Bradford, Ta., April 11. John Peter son and his son. Axel, aged 10 years were digging a ditch near Kinzua yester day in tne yard ot an abandoned nitro glycerine factory. The loy struck with ins pick an old waste pipe containing the explosive and he was blown literally to atoms. His father was working near by and was shockingly mangled, dying in a few minutes. The Brooklyn Attain Afloat. Philadelphia, April 14 The U. S. cruiser Brooklyn, which was injured in the ice gorge on the Delaware in January, was successfully floated out of the dry dock at League Island Navy Yard at 11:30 o'clock this morning. She now lies at anchor in the Delaware river, where the finishing touches will be administered before the ship is de clared seaworthy. Hie' iest of all In Leavening Power, Latest U. S. Gov't Report MM ABSOLUTE!. PURE lliree t'tuiimisfeioiit'rti. Washington, April 12. The presi dent to-night announced the appoint ment of Senator Edward G. Wolcott, of C lorado; Hon. Chrlaes J. Fayne, of Massachusetts, and ex-Vice President Adlai E Stevenson, as commissioners to an inbrnational monetary confer ence. The-a appointments are made under the act approved March 3 last, "For the promotion of an international agreement for bimetallism," and by its provision do not require confirmation by the senate. It has leeu generally conceded that Senator Wolcott would be made a mem ber of the commission. He has been an active leader in the movement f r a monetary agreement and widely known as an advocate of the silver cause. Ex-Vice President Stevenson, the Democratic meniber of the commission, is generally known as an advocate of bimetallism, and a staunch supporter of Bryan and Chicago platform. He and Senator Wolcott, however, are said to te in accord on the financial question. General Charles J. Payne, who may lie termed the minority member, is a Republican and was a McKinley man. He is one of the most prominent busi ness men of Massachusetts, and is said to be a deep student of the financial question. While he is classed as a sup porter of bimetallism based on inter national agreement, he is regarded as allied with the "sound money" faction. Fatal outliern Cjclone. O.ark, Ala , April 10. A cyclone passed over a portion of Dale county Thursday night, leaving wreck and dis aster in its path. Many houses were demolished. Several persons were kil led. A Mrs. Powers was caught by the falling timbers of her home and died be fore she could be rescued. The rest of the family were rescued, including an infant whom the mother saved at the cost of her life. For many miles every thing the farmers had was swept away by the wind or ruined by the torrents of rain. The citizens of Ozark have sent several wagon loads of supplies to those in need. The second portion of the cyclone was oeiiecied upon tne runt vauey, breaking across south Georgia and pas sing through Arlington, where but a few weeks ago nine children were killed in the ruins of a school house. Reach ing Yaldosto, the strrm became intensi fied in fury, and trees were blown down in everv part of the city. A church was .- - -. . i i wrenched irom us xounoaiion anu twisted into fragment? by the winds. The box cars on the Plant system were blown off the track. From many other towns in the vicinity reports of an equally alarming nature are coming in. Fill ton Will Partlrlpat Philadelphia, April 13. The presence of a French man-of-war at this port on the occasion of the unveiling of the Washington monument on May 15 and the participation of her marines and sailors in the parade on that occasion were assured to-day iijion receipt of a letter from the French ambassador at Washington, M. Patenotre, announcing that instructions have leen given to the warship "Fulton" to take part in the ceremonies. A committee of the society of the Cincinnati will visit President McKin ley to-morrow and inform him of the arrangements for his proposed visit to this city on the occasion of the dedica tion exercise-s. The committee will pre sent the president with a gold eagle, the insignia of the society of which he is an houorary member. ThSrl 'onlrovrry. Washington, April 12 The recen appointment of cx Secretary Foster and ex-Assistant Secret -try Hamlin by the president t3 assist in the negotiations now in progress with Great Britain re specting the Retiring sea seal fisheries is indii-ative that this loug standing diplomatic issue has at last assumed grave importance, and that an earnest effort is to be made to end the present unsatisfactory state of affairs, or at least to place the subject on such a footing tefore the leginning of the approach ing season as will prevent it from pass ing into a more serious phase. The trouble appears to have been principally through the refusal of the British authorities to renew last year the regu lations requiring British vessels going into the seal waters to place their fire arms under seal. Miss Dickiuson bets a Small Verdict. Scranton, Pa., April 10 The closing arguments of counsel iu the Ann Dick inson case were made yesterday and Judge Aeheson charged the jury. His instructions were not binding, but they might just as well have been, as they clearly suggested a verdict for the de fense. He gak': "Personally, I be lieve the the forcible entry into Miss Dickinson's room was justifiable, though I don:t ask you to. accept my view of the matter. The action of the several defendants in assisting to take Miss Dickinson to the asylum seems to have been none other than neighborly as sistance." The jury retired at 5:30 o clock, and at 12:35 reported a verdict of G cents in favor of Miss Dickinson. Largest Insurance Policy Ever Issued. Mrs. Iceland Stanford on Friday signed the contract by which her life is insured for $1,000,000. The policy winch is said to be the largest ever is sued was written by a New York com pany. By the terms of the contract Mrs. Stanford is to pay an annual premium of $170,000 and upon her death $1,000,000 will be paid by the company to the Iceland Stanford, Jr., uuiversity.

' QU OMAHA IS Great Flood Rushing on the Nebraska City. MILLIONS IN PROPERTY IN TERIL. the Missouri River Threatens to Re sums the oThaooet Abandoned 20 Years Ago Hard Fight Inn to Prevent It. The Scared I'eople Flee. Omaha, April 14. Piling and boards and bans of sand, old hay and stones are being fed to the hungry maw of tho Big Muddy at Omaha in an effort to re strain the manifest intention of that erratic stream to resume the channel abandoned 20 years ago. It looks like the effort might succeed. But all hope is hedged about with provi.-os that the river does not rise any higher, that a north wind does dot blow and, most un certain of all, that the break in the bank above Florence lake is not so bad as the overflowing water indicates. If the Missouri changes its channel past Omaha it will destroy property to the value of several million dollars. The river broke through its banks about a mile above where it left the old chan nel 20 years ago and is running two broad streams across what were fertile market gardens. These streams run into Florence lake, a relic of a former cutoff. From Florence lake the water is pouring into Cutoff lake. Should the river complete the cut-off it lias threatened. East Omaha, with extensive factory plants, including the great Carter white lead works,' will be moved into Iowa, and the 3.(Hi0.0h bridge of the East Omaha Terminal company will be left across a slough, while the thousands of dollars ex pended by the government in protecting the banks of the river alone the great bend will have been wasted on a "cut off" lake. East Omaha and North Omaha are flooded by the waters that are rushing from the overfull Missouri river. The residents flee for their lives, leaving their possessions behind. The houses are standing in the flood, submerged in water from 1 to 5 feet deep. Fields of grain and fences disappear beneath the surface of the water, and the trees no loncer show any trunks. The flood i9 pouring in upon the low lands of the East Omaha bottoms in a strram that is estimated to be 2,000 feet in width. It is sweeping southwest and is pouring into Florence lake. The water in the lake has broken over the levee that was built to separate it from Cut Off lake, and it is now rushing with ever increasing volume into the latter. It is spreading over plowed and planted fields, it is driving residents from their homes in North Omaha, it is tearing up fences and threatening the houses that stand from three to four feet deep in the water. It is pouring into Cut Off lake just north of the long Lridsre which leads to Courtland Beach. If it continues It is anticipated that the lake will overflow its southern banks. If this should occur and the rise be still maintained, the entire southern portion of East Omaha would be threatened with a most disastrous flood, as there is no elevatiou of the land to stem the outpouring. THE BOODLING IN KANSAS. Mare Evidence itefore the Legislative Committee. Topf.ka, April 14. Much additional evidence of boodling has been devol oped by the legislative bribery investi gating committee. A law giving the county power to imprison witnesses vho refuse to answer questions was un earthed and used with effect. M. K. Moad of Paola Faid that C. R Walters of Labette county told him he had received $100 for opposing a cer tain bill and that he was to receive $ .".00 more. At the close of the session he ex hibited fl.OOO. which he said he had made during the session. J. M. Doyle of Republic county testi fied that he was approached by a stranger, before the house had voted on the stockyards bill, aud asked how he stood on the measure Witness replied that he was for the bill, whereupon the man said : "If you were against it there would be some money in it for you." COMPROMISE, INSTEAD OF WAR. Greece and Tnrkey Relieved to Re Ready to Agree. Loxdos, April 14. The Athens cor respondent of The Daily Chronicle says that compromise is evidently in the air. Turkey is showing herself exceptionally friendly to Greece, and it is believed in diplomatic circles that the two parties, if left alone, would settle the affair in as many days. Advices from Epirns represent the situation there as a reign of terror. The Turks are laying the country waste with fire and sword. The vali of Ja nina has ordered every Christian to give the Turkish army 10 shaep and a bullock. Trikhala, April 14. The insurgent bands have returned to Greek territory with the exception of one or two. which are composed of only a small number. HONORED VOORHEES MEMORY.
