The Clearfield Citizen says the quanti-
ty of timber cut this year, in Clearfield
county, will not reach more than half
the usual output. Prices have been so
low that it does not pay to run lumber
to the eastern markets. It is thought
that the coming winter will be a mild
one, in which case very little lumber
will reach the market.

Senator Mitchell, of this state, intro-
duced a bill in the senate to pension
General Grant, It provides for an an-
nual appropriation of $5,000 to be paid
to him out of the funds of the treasury
not otherwise appropriated,
This is wrong. Gen. Grant received
more presents than any living man. Be-
sides he received more fat plumbs—as
extras—than any man in the United
States from 1776 to 1884, There is no
warrant for this in the Constitation. It
is setting a bad example and soon there
will be a horde of special pensioners.
Grant had great chancesand if he fooled
them away, like any other American
citizen, he must put up with his lot.

The Galveston News makes the point
that over half of Cleveland's vote in the
electoral college comes from states not
members of the late Confederacy. Of
his 219 votes, 112 came from states that
stood by the Union during the war and
107 from the seceding states. Blaine's
183 votes came altogether from one sec-
tion of the country and represents sec
tionalism as opposed to broad national
ism. In charging that Cleveland is the
President of the once “rebellious” South,
the Republicans impute to 107 votes a
control over 112. Maryland, Delaware,
Kentucky and Missouri, as states, were
just as loyal to the Union as Vermont,
and furnished more Union soldiers in
proportion to population.
Great destitution exists among Hock-
ing valley miners. A few days ago the
miner's central relief committee distri
buted over $2,000 in cash and about $1
200 worth of merchandise. In addition
large quantities of goods have been re-
ceived at Nelsonville, Buchtel, Carbon
Hill and other places, and ordered to be
distributed. About $1000 remains in
the treasury at Jacksonville. Reports
from the quarters which are furnishing
relief are encouraging. A great deal of
suffering prevails and sudden cold
weather would increase this greatly,
No material change is reported as to
the strike except that the syndicate and
coal exchange say they are increasing
their force daily from outside labor and
that the output will soon reach the max-

Mr. Morrison has introduced a bill to
tedoce the surplus in the treasurer. Ac-
cording to the reports of the treasury the
surplus in the treasury at this time
amounts to something over $200,000,000.
Mr. Morrison's bill proposes to appropri-
ate all over half that sum to the redemp-
tion of United States bonds, with the
proviso that when any such bonds are
redeemable at the pleasure of the gov-
ernment, it shall not be lawful to pur-
chase bonds at a premium,

Mr. William H. Vanderbilt and his

be built on a hill, and will cost $500,000.

are the words of Vanderbilt, and the
public would not even mourn to know
that when this modern Croesus got to
the other court he would find the first

The supreme Court of Massachusetts
has recently rendered a decision that
ought to be a warning to blundering doe-
tors, especially quack doctors. The case
before the court was that of a man,
claiming to be a physician, who was call-
ed to attend a sick woman in Worcester,
and who directed that she
wrapped in flannel, and that the flannel
should be kept saturated with kerosene
me
ne
oil. The doctor's direction was obeyed,
and the result was that the woman was
killed thereby. The doctor was indicted,
tried convicted of manslaughter,
The essential feature of thi

sists in the killing of a human being, as

"
without
ness and negligence, i
cious or murderous intention. The j
found by their verdiet that this is
what the doctor in this case had done
and hence convicted him of manslaugh-
ter, The case was carried to the Su-
preme Court of Massachusetts, and the
verdict of the jury was there sustained.
The defendant claimed to bea physician;
and of him, considered as making this
claim, and acting in its capacity, the
court said: “The man who assumes to
act as the defendant did must have done
it at his peril. The defendant knew that
he was using kerosene and saw from
day to day how it worked. The jury has
found that it was applied as a result of a
foolhardy presumption or gross igno-
rance, and that is enough.” Let quack
doctors take warning as to what they
claim to be, and as to what they do.

SHOT WHILE HUNTING.
Particulars of the Accident to John Li ggett,
| of Beech Creek, while in the Woods,
| Lock Haven, Dec. 2.—~On Monday
imorning, says the Express, Mr, John Lig-
gett, of Beech Creek, accompanied by
Messrs. John Delong and Quig Clarke,
went up to what is called the “Cove” six
miles above Beech Creek, to start a deer.
Mr. Liggett, who was stationed on the
ran wiy, being cold undertook to start a
fire and set his gun against a tree, He
then took a chunk of a log and laid it
next to the tree, and taking his gon in
hand, near the muzzle, intended to set it
back of this chunk against another tree,
when the chunk rolled and strack the
gun, causing it to go off. The ball en-
tered Mr. Liggett’s left side, passed thro’
bis long and came out under his should-
er blade,
When he was shot no one wae near
him, Mr. Clarke being a mile away. He,
however heard the report of a gun and
supposed Mr. Liggett had killed a deer. It
was but a few minutes untii he heard five
more shots in quick succession, when he
hurried to the spot only to find Mr. Lig~
gett in the condition mentioned. His
condition is a critical one, but if any one
ean “pull through” he can, as he is a
man of strong nerve, as the particelars of]
the accident fully prove.
About ten years ago Mr, Liggelt was
shot in the leg by the accidental dis
charge of hia gun, and his strong deter.
mination to get well did mueh to aid his
recovery at this time.

the temperature might the more
readily be raised to a white heat by the
for incineration. The body of Mrs, Bes-
eler was brought to lancaster sccom-
panied by the husband of the deceased.
The attendance at the crematorium
was quite large, fifty-five in number bes
ing present, besides many of the most
prominent lawyers, doctors, clergy and
business men of the city, and several la-
dies and gentlemen from abroad. Dr.
Wm, A. Hammond, ex-surgeon general
of the United States, sent a letter ex-
pressing his disappointment at not being
able to attend, and declaring that he wili
make provision for the cremation of his
own Py after death. The exercises
were begun by Rev. George Gaul, pastor
of 8t. Paul's Methodist church, who of-
fered prayer, Dr. M. F. Davis, of Lancas-
ter, then made a lengthy address, after
which Rev. J. Max Hark, pastor of the
Moravian church, of Lancaster, spoke at
iength,
When his address was concluded the
eatafalque, upon which was the body,
was rolled into the audience room and
placed in position before the retort. The
folding doors were opened and also the
retort door, the catafalgoe wae advanced,
the cradle containing the body was rolled
into the retort and the door was closed,
all in a few moments, the operation be-
ing performed as quickly as possible in
order to prevent the cooling of the re
tort. In a few hours afterwards the gases
were oxidized, the carbonic acid driven
off and nothing remained but a few
pounds of clean white ashes. The retort
will be opened to day.
Other cremations wiii soon take place.

count. Simpson declared he believed he
lid not owe the Doctor anything, Hot
words ensued, and Lawrence called Bimp-
son “Coward,” whereupon the latter
irew his revolver and cried out to
Lawrence to defend himself,
Quick as a flash the Doctor drew his
weapon and fired, the bullet striking
Simpson near the heart, Bimpson stag-
gered, but recovered and fired, hitting
awrence in the breast. By this time a
dozen or more people had gathered to
witness the fearful duel, Both mortally
wounded, the two men stood within a
few paces of one another and emptied
he contents of their revolvers into each
ar, every bullet taking effect. When
npson had emptied his weapon, with
ood streaming trom five fearful wounds,
he sprang at Lawrence and struck him
a terrible blow on the head with the butt

CRUSHING COURSE OF THE HOCK-
ING VALLEY BYNDICATE—
PARALYZING BUSINESS,
Cleveland, Dec. 5.—~The representative
of the Press, the organ of the working-
men, now in the Hocking region, tele
graphs to-day that the difficuity there
ould be settled in two days and the
miners set 10 work if the powerful coal
syndicate would relent even to the ex-
went of furnishiog cars for operators, who
are willing to pay the 70 cents a ton de-
manded by ihe mioers. Parties owniog
the undeveloped mines containing as
fine coal as a pick ever entered have
vainly endeavored to open them and set
miners at work. The railroad compan-
refose to pul in switches, On the
Swackammer farm, near Nelsonville, is
a rich vein of coal. A company of citi
zens owning the property labored nosuc-
essfully with President Green, of the
Hoek it g road, fora week, and even of-
fered build their own switch if the
railroad would ly furnish cars, The
pew company proposed Lo pay the mio-
ers 70 cents per ton for mining and the
railroad company could never encourage
that,
I'tie hundreds of men that this mine
would bave employed are idle to-day.
Pickett & Co's mine at Nasonville em-
ploys about 100 men and pays 70 cents
per ton, Last week the railroad come
pany refused to furnish any more cars
though the switches between there and
Columbus are full of empty and idle
flats, and Picketl's miners are added to
the idle throng.
When W, P. Rand went into the courts
and by a temporary injonction forced
the railroad company to come to terms
and furnish cars, this victory was a bar-
ren one, for while the company wil
obey the order of the Court and supply
cars, it will permit them to be run to Co
iumbus only. If shipment is desired on
any other road the coal must be trans.
ferred wo other cars, and this is wholly
impracticable, The vast sums of money
expended by the syndicate in importing
worthless men, in employing guards, in
pbuilding and maintaining forts and
boarding bouses to protect and lodge
their hirelings would have gone a long
way towards paying the 20 cents differ
ence in dispute, or a ten cents difference
that might have been agreed upon. The
importation of alleged miners, who are
really nothing but day laborers, is made
for show. Tue mines cannot be success-
fally worked without the skilled help
now idle. It is not true that there have
been desertions from the ranks of miners.
Indeed the oniy authenticated case is
that of one man and bisson, However,
the hopelessness of the fight is admitted
on all sides, for matters are all in the
hands of three gigantic corporations who
will not relent,
