HALE BADLY SAT UPON.
THE SENATOR FROM NAINE ON CIVIL BER-
VICE METHODS,
Washington, Jan. 11.—Mr. Eugene
fiale of Maive, as a champion of Civil
Service reform and lecturer on pure po-
litical methods, afforded the Senate some
amusement for nearly two hours to-day,
He does not often speak, and for that rea-
son and because he stands in near rela-
tion to Mr, Biaive he had close attention.
The idea was that he was outlining one
feature of Mr Biaine's new presidestial
campsign, and the interest manifested
atiached to that and not to auything that
Mr. Hale himself was individually re-
sponsible for,
There was nothing new in the lective
except Mr. Hale's citations designed to
show that Mr, Cleveland is not sincerain
his professions of loyaity to Civil Bervice
reform.
Mr. Hale proceeded by predicting tha
the whole machivery of the Governmen
would be used thie year and contribu
tions forced from all offic-hiolders anc
employes to help keep the Democraii
party in power.

WAR CLOUDS IN EUROPE,
Berlin, Jan. 15 —The Warsaw police

must quit Rossian territory to-day. All

that there is an active passage of troops
from Posen to the Silesian frontier. The

penetrate into Galicia at a moment's
notice to impede the mobilization of Aus.
trian troops. This statement echoes
what the War Department at Berlin has
been pressing upon the attention of the
Austrian Department with good effect.
The Austrian War Office is now eonfl
dent that there are sufficient forces in
Central Lemberg and in Przemysi and
Czernowitz to arrest a Roesian advance.
CARLISLE IS VICTORIOUS,
By a vote of twelve in the affirmative
three members not voting, the House
Committee on Elections decided not to
re-open the Thobe Carlisle case, but to
confirm Mr. Carlisle's title to his seat,
The proceedings of the committee were

A MENNONITE SENSATION.
Christian Bomberger, who lives teo|
miles north of Lancaster city, has been |
for a full generation one of the most ven-|
erated and esteemed citizens, not only |
among his fellow-members in the old]
Mennonite Chureb, but by all who knew |
him. y
In June, 1860, he wis ordained a Bish-|
op for the Hammer Creek district, His
father and grandfather before him Lad]
been Mennoite ministers aod bishops. |
Since bis accession to the bishopric he
nas traveled and preached in many!
places, His fame spread through all the
Pennsylvania covoties where the good
peopie of bis devomination lived. To all
appearances be was an earnest Christain
worker, and had attained the age of three
score years and ien laboring for the pro-
motion of his church and the welfure of
his people—bat be fell,
At the meeting of the authorities of
the church at the recert Indiantown
meeting house, in City towpship, this
aged worker was solemnly deposed from
the office of bishop avd excommunicated
from the faith that he and his fathers
had followed since the first exodas of the
disciples of Menno from the o'd to the
new world. When charged with the
crime of immorality the old mas con-
fessed The Mennonite fathers did not
wish to deal harshly with the bishop
who had gone astray. They remember
ed his long service in the church and
thought of the houored name he bore,
but the welfare of their people and the
discipline of the church they maintained
must be upheld and so the venerable
father was deposed.

DEADLY BLIZEARD IN THE GREAT
NORTHWEST,
A dispatch from St, Paul, Minn., dated
Jan. 14, says:
The blizzard of the last two days has
been altended with terribly fatal effect
and intense suffering. Reports sre con-
stantly coming in of deaths and instances
of individual privation. The snow.
storm raged for three days. Drifts are
piled up in the country to the tops of

{ful experiences on the road. Blockaded
for hours at a time, and when moving

gers suffered fearfaily from the cold, No
stove could counteract the piercing wind,
The passengers crow ded around them
huddling together, but only these who
were fortunate enough to get positions
right alongside the fires were really
warm. As soon asa group pext the
stoves had thawed themselves out they
changed places with the others Great
banks of snow on either side kept the
daylight out, and the cars were in a
state of semi darknes constantly, The
snow plows were put to work imme
