The democrats of Klk county pted a reaoite not allowing candidate* to go around electioneering or ask vote- t makea nomination— nothing more than to announce their names in the demo era tic pipers. Howe, tmeblue republican U.S. Sen ator from Wisconsin, let loose his big speech against Hayes He sort o'think- Hayes is a failnre, that he went back on the republi-wn party, anil that if Pack ard is not governor of Louisiana then Haves is not president of the I.

Dullard was an embexxler and ad journed from the legislature after hav ing a very short session. In this res pect he is one better than the legisla ture. it is also etnbeiiling public funds but it will not adjourn. The markets in breadstutfs are already stimulated by the warlike news from Europe. On Friday in New York a brisk demand prevailed for flour, whe2t and corn. Flour went up sharply, in most instances 10 to 25 cents per barrel, and sales are reported to the unusually large aggregate of about 44,000 barrels. Wheat advanced 3 and 4 cents. The New York senate has passed a Iree pipe line bill. In our state legisla ture the railroad companies managed to oil 100 many of the members and de feated a free pipe line bill. The rail roads wish to keep a monopoly of the oil carrying trade and a free pipe line would interfere and make the price of oil cheaper. The Penn'a RR. had another stormy time Tuesday, 26. at their stockholders meeting and election. The stockholders manifested a deeper interest in the subject of the funding scheme than they did in the election for directors, but as regards the latter there was quite an active contest carried on, and much scratching was done. The polls opened at 10 a. m. and closed at 6 p. m. The ticket nominated by the stockholders' committee was as follows Thomas A. Scott, Josiah Bac.n, Wistar Morris, John M. Keuuedy, Samuel M. Felton, Alexander Biddle. N. Parker Shortridge. and Henry D. Welsh. This ticket, termed "the regular." was success ful. The highest one on the ticket had voted for him 479.276 shares, and the lowest 420,049 shares. Thomas Potter who submitted the minority report on the funding scheme, received votes rep resenting 66,652 shares, and A. J. Der byshire, who was a director last year and whose name was taken off the ticket by the stockholders' committee was complimented with votes representing 56,814 shares. The funding plan was approved, the vote standing thus: For the adoption of the resolution on the creation of trust, recommended in the majority report of the committee, 375,299 shares; for the adoption of the resolution on the crea tion of the trust, as recommended in the minority report of the committee, 105,- 885 shares. The largest number of shares ever voted at any previous elec tion of the company was 284,000. Last year only 125,000 shares were voted. Now since Tom Scott has had it his own way, if he will see to it that bis company completes the Pennsvalley road, oar people will call him blessed. If not then there may be some expres sions in the opposite direction. The majority report embodied the fol lowing resolution .• Rttolctd, That the creation of a trust having for its object the purchase from time to time of the bonds and shares ol other companies which are guarantee! by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and also of the bonded debt of the Pennsylvania Company, be, and it is hereby approved ; and that the incom ing Board of Directors be, and they are hereby instructed and authorized to take sacb action, under the advice of counsel as nay, in their judgment, be lawful, n jessary, and best adapted to create * /ch trust, and to accomplish the objects >sr which it is designed. The trust plan, says the Post, proposes setting aside two per cent, per annum on the capital stock for the purchase of the bonds and {shares of other companies which are guaranteed by the Pennsyl vania Railroad. This will amount an nually to 11,377,404. x To put the "trust plan"in another f<3rm, the shareholders agree to loan the Company one dollar per share of their dividends annually, at four per cent, interest, for the purpose of purchasing through a trust the liabili ties of the Company. If these securities can be purchased at fifteen per cent, be low par, the fund, supposing the securi ties to yield it seven per cent., will be increased 184,000,000 in a period of thir ty years, at a cost, to the shareholders of 136,000,000, for which they would hold scrip, bearing four per cent interest, payable out of the trust fund. The cap ital represented by the guarantees of the railroad company amounts, accord ing to the last annual report to $180,516,- 293.14. These are the attractive figures of the supporters of "the plan,'' but on the other hand its opponents, held it em bodied the germ of mammoth stock speculations for the benefit of a favored few and without profit to the sharehold ers. Be this as it may the plan is to be tried. ginwrf - • rL —-The hangman's tree was in full bloom last weck r notwithstanding the fros ty atmbtylfere. TITF PFori.r N t VR rirr <\ RF.

The discovery of tho satellites of Mars, , by Professor Asaph Hull, of the Wash- j t J . ington Naval Observatory, was one that 11 had an important hearing on the scien-| i titic theory known as the Nebular Hypo-, thesis. It was found that the innerj -utellite revolves about the planet in MI shorter time than IS occupied in a revo lution of the planet on its axes. Marc I , revolves once in about twenty-four hours, while the innersatellite complete.-! f j its revolution in a fraction over seven ] j hours, .s.j nil observer stationed iijjoii the surface of the planet would see one! i moon apparently rise like the earth's * moon in the east and set in the west. ' | while the other moon—the inner , ' j satellite—would rise in the west and set', in the east. But according to the Neb-j . ular Hypothesis, all satellites derive , . their motion from their primaries when thrown ofF from the latter. Their veloci- 1 ty ought, therefore, to be nogreaterthan ' their primaries, but rather less. The ' Nebular Hypothesis supplies nothing tol account for this motion of the inner . , satellite of Mars, and tin less other causes l <-n be found to explain it, that hypo-! thesis cannot stund. The force of this objection lin- been j * ' felt by scientific men, and ivnumber of'' conjectural explanations of the anomaly ! i have been proposed. It is well known ( ' that in the case of planets having an , ellipsoid orbit the radii are shortened ' f by any resistance met, and that thus 1 . itieir velocity is increased. In order to 1 account for the propagation of the waves I of light through the interstellar spaces. i| • physicists have assumed these spaces tol, be tilled with an ' invisible ether." 11J has been suggested that this ether might * offer sufficient resistance to account for these changes of velocity. This theory 11 was broached previously to the discove- li ry of the satellites, to account for some t observed aberrations in the motion of „ Kncke's comet. But it is replied to this that VP know to° little of this lumini ferous ether—La very existence being' 1 ; hypothetical—to draw any .afp ponclu- j' sions about its effects on the moving through it.—Moreover, the acH M celeration in the velocity of Encke's „ j comet is not uniform, but greater inji, ' some of its periodic revolutions than in n others.
