HEINLE, Chasirman. On Friday night, 16, a barn, with eight horses, three cows and a quantity of hay » H. C. McNally, from Helena, Montana, was destroyed by fire. A vigl lance committee traced the crime of set- ting the barn oa fire, it is claimed, to two men named They ere hanged by the committee on Bun- day night following. Coomes was an old Alder Gulch miner, and at the time of his death kept the Eleven Mile house. The other man was a discharged railroad and grain, belonging t« and located twelve miles Coomes ard Smith, hand. lt ccs Queen Victoria slipped on the stairs at Windsor on Saturday and taived some injuries that did not, bow ever, prevent her from holding council on 190. Old Wiggins coulda’ gaess this would happen. sus The Senate Chamber at Ilarrisburg, at the close of the session oa 15th Thurs. day evening was the scene of a hip and muscle scuffle, Senator Lee accused Sen- ator My Kniget of working against the in- terests of his constituents aud dodging the free pipe bill, to which Senator MeKuoight angrily retorted. Sena'or Ewery, who was standing by, also accused McKnight of purposely avoiding the matter. Angry words followed, during which Emery glapped McKnight in the face and M.- Knight strock back, but Emery warded the plow off. Tho other Sena ors then interfered and order wae restored. A reconctiiation followed beiore the Sens. tors left the Chamber. The Senator from Jefferson liared poth of his accusors. As a reform Fenator he is not a succes cart sims i a" GROWTH OF PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW YOils. Mr. Fernon, of Philadelphia, in a re ent article on raiirosds, refers to the in. crease of growth of Pennsylvania as com pared with New York since 1880, and maintains the latter State has passed its season of phenomenal growth, Above Harlem river it isscarcely better off than the New England States in respect to its prospects for increase of populstion. Pennsylvania, on the contrary, hesa great future before it. In evidence of this Mr. Fernon points to the many new rail- roads in progress of constranction and the much larger number of rai round project en. In coal lands, 100, particularly in the bitaminious coal regions, there have been large investments within a twelve month. There is pleuty of room for in crease of population in Penosylvania. With the mingle exception of Allegheny, not a eounty, west of the Susquehanna contains 100.000 inhabitants. Indeed, but six of the fifty conuties of the Sate can boast of that much population, while in the great majority of the couaties the population is yet very sparse. Pennsyl- vania is not only a large producer of coal, and iron and oil, but of corn, wheat, tobacco and lumber. From the facts and figures which he finds at hand, Mr. Fer- non predicts that Pennsylvania, in the early part of the coming century, will pass by New York and take the head of the column as the most populous State in the Union. ira ia tan THE NEW PENSION ACT. The following circular has been issued by the commissioner of pensions and approved by the secretary of the interior: The following regulations are prescrib. ed for the purpose of carrying into effect, as speedily as possible, the provisions of the act of congress, approve March 8, 1883 increasing to 830 per month the pensions of those who have lost a leg at or above the knees, or arm st or above the elbow and of those who have been so disable as to be incapacitated for performing any mannal labor, but not so mach so as to re. quire regular personal aid and attendance who are receiving a pension at the rote of $24 per month, and to $24 per month the pensions of thse who have lost one hand, or one foot or been totally or per. manently disabled in the same, or other. wise 89 disabled as to render their ine capacity 10 perform manual labor eqoiv alent to the loss of a hand or foot, and now receiving $18 per month. Inasmuch as the said act has immediate effect upon such admitted casa as have been adjadi- cated at the rate of $24 and 818 per month respectively, no formal application by the beneficiary is necessary to be made other than to forwerd to the commissioner of pensions the pension certifivare, accom. panied by a letter stating in the hand writing of the penvoner his presant postoffice address. As soon as possible after the re eipt of the pension cert fleate aforesaid, the ec mmissioner will re {snes to him a new certificate for the new rate, and will forward 1he same to the proper pension ‘agent to inscribe the name of such pensioner on the roll atthe increas. ed rate, and to make to the pensioner the / £ i Bh proper payment. In the case of amputa- tion, the certificate will be reissued with - aut apy further medical examination, The intervention of an agent or attorney in such admitted cases as are affected by this act, being unnecessary, will not be recognized. rm — THE FUNERAL OF URIAH MOYER, On i'riday the 9th inst, cccurred the funeral of Uriah Moyer who was hanged in the county jail yard, at Middleburg! on Wednesday, March 7, for the killing ofthe Kintzlers over five years ago. Sev. eral hundred people of the neighborhood and from a distance assembled st the res. idence, of his mother in Adams township t» witness, the burial, Revs, Spangler and Edmonds were the officiating clergymen, At 10 o'cleck, a. m., service commenced by singing a German bymn and prayer. Rev. Spangler made an address of about fifteen minutes length, followed by Rev. Edmouds who delivered an address which contained more vindictive abuse ot and malice toward certain individuals, and lame excuses for the murderer, than merit and condempation for evildoers. After bis address, the casket containing the remains was placed upon chairs out- side the house and viewed by all who bad a desire to see him and theo taken to the grave prepared for them, besides that of his brother Jonathan near the mill, where he spent the days of his childhood Free- burg Courier. . 0 mtn em ISRAEL ERB'S CASE. The case of Israel Erb, the last living actor in the Kintzler tragedy, in Snyder county, was before the board of pardons, on Tuesday, 20. A letter from Middle- burg last week states that Erb calmly awaits developments; His companions in the lonely cell chamber are a Bible, a few German books and a canary bird. He has nothing to say since the confes- sion of Uriah Moyer beyond the observa- tion that it was what he expected. The jail warden found the old man in tears the other evening, and in answer to a question he simply said—"1 am weary.” He spoke the words in German—'ich bin mued.” Erb is growing paler and more restless, He takes the situation very hard but does not say so. Before the pardoa board on Tuesday Hon. A H. Dill argued with much emo- tion for the life of the old man, He tried to impress strongly upon the board that Mary Hartley, the principal witness, was not to be believed, while the confessions of the Moyers and Ettinger should be given great consideration. When asked by Mr. Cassidy if Mary Hartly bad a mo- tive in briogiug the men to justice, Mr. Dill said he did not know of any. C. C. Hower, Esq, for the commonwealth, op- posed the application for a pardon. Ho neld that the statement of Mary Hartley was to be believed, and had been fully corroborated ; that the four men were guilty, Erb being the leader; and that the executed men bad lied when they made the confessions they did, Mr. Smith, for the condemned man, followed Mr. Hower, and in the course of his argument he said that a statement had been made by Ellen Moyer, wife of Jona han Moyer, just before her death in which she said she was not at Kintz- lers, as claimed by Mary Hartley, when the murder was committed. Attorney General Cassidy asked if the statement was on file and a reply in the negaiive being received, the board concluded to grant fifteen days’ time in which to allow it or any other papers in connection with the case to be presented. The case was therefore postponed until April 4. - ns A A SASSI APPOINTMENTS. The Central Pennsylvania Conference of the M. E. Church, held at Chambers burg, adjourned on Tuesday morning, 20 after an interesting and profitable m #10D, to meet in Williamsport, in Malber- ry street church, March, 1884, Appended are tie appointments for the ALTOONA DISTRICT. : James H.

A Philadelphia bird fancier says: “You can tame a canary inside of six hours by depriving it of food for that length of time, and then patting your hand fiilled with seed into the cage. Repeat this at intervals, and the bird will soon become tame enough to fly you whistle for it.” The Medical News, after giving two or three recent instances of death under chloroform, says “the danger of tooth- drawing under chloroform anmsthesia being so pronounced and so readily ex- plained, we hold that no physician is Justified in running such risks.” One of the new Judges in Wisconsin found on opening court that he had been attorney upon one side of the oth- er in thirty-five of the cases on the cal- endar before him. He will find it neces- sary to “‘exchange,” in the ministerial sense, with some of his brother Judges for spme time to come. bilt driving his fast team. the other day, whipped out his pencil and made this calculation: “Horses, $50,000: sleich, 8300; harness, $200: sealskin coat and cap, 8800; fur lap-robe, 830; £16; Vanderbilt, 100,000,000." Bridesburg, a suburb of Philadelphia, has a plague of cats. Farmers on the way to the city from Bucks county have been in the habit for years of dropping their supernumerary felines in the vicini- ty of Bridesburg, and this, with the nat- tural increase of the cat population, has made sleep im pos sible to the tants of the place. One of our best and most cautious tific journals, basing pl 1 upon the report of the American Consul at La Rochelle regarding the use made in France of German alcohol taken from potatoes, which is doctored to resemble brandy in color and flavor, says that “it is at least worth the physician's while to know that there is Cognae brandy.” A prospector informs a Nevada that at a point on the Humboldt there are hundreds of fossil tracks simi- lar to those at the Nevada state prison, Mand in many instances much larger. There are tracks of cloven feet ten or fifteen feet in length, and bird-like tracks without number. Jesides these there are large three-corned impressions in the sandstone, as if made foot animal of some sort, and numervus smaller tracks.
