THE LAST CHANCE,
AND LAST NOTICE.
For two months we have been making
an effort to effect the settlement of the ac
°aunts standing on the books of the late
firm of J. IL Durborrow & Co., but up to
this time but a very small number of those
to whom we have sent bills have respond
ed. These accounts must be settled. From
those who are unable to pay the cash we
are willing to take their notes, for a limi
ted time. On the first of August we had
intended placing our books in the hands
of an officer for collection, but we will ex
'tad the time to the first of September, at
which date all unsettled accounts will be
collected by due process of law. If you
would save costs and annoyance, give this
notice your attention. We are averse to
this mode of collection, but when no atten
tion is paid to our bills and appeals for
payment, there is no other plan left for us
to pursue. Don't compel us to add costs
to your accounts.
Till result of the next election may de
termine the political destinies of the State
and nation.
NOT within twenty-five years has so
!such depended upon a State election in
Pennsylvania as upon the coming one.
IT is necessary that the Republicans
elect Judge Sterrett in order to maintain
ilteir majority upon the Supreme Bench.
THZILZ are two State .tickets in the field
in Texas, Democratic and National. The
Republicans will not make nominations
and it is probable that the National ticket
will be elected.
TittNationals complain of the scarcity
Do they want it to be plentier?
If workingmen all bad employment they
Welt become capitalists, and no capitalist
can be a National.
MIL TILDNN is frequently seen walking
alone and talking to himself. At such
times he is only conferring with the fellow
who concocted the Oregon scheme. How
mad he must be at its author about its
failure !
Ir the Democrats desire an in -fusion of
spirit into the campaign, let them endorse
the greenback candidates. There would
then be Speer•it in the management of it,
spirit* in the Democrats, and Boring could
summon the spirits of another world.
NOBODY could have convinced us during
the war that there would ever be a possi
bility of a Democrat becoming Governor
of Pennsylvania. We could scarcely have
conceived that the people of this State
would elevate politically the men who were
fighting against us.
RLPUBLICANS, look at your assessor's
list to see if your names are upon it. You
cannot vote unless you have paid a State
or county tax within two years that was
assessed at least two months and paid at
least one month previous to the election.
Don't wait till the last day but attend to
this matter at once.
DENNIS KEARNEY, the California agi
tator and communist, who came east to
champion the cause of the workingmen,
hue shown, by his vulgarity and blasphemy,
that he is a foul mouthed blackguard, and
the American people should give him to
understand that an Irish outlaw is not the
kind of an educator they take kindly to.
Tar Speer-North wing of the Democra
cy, by the purchase of the Nationalist,
have now two organs, whilst the straight
out Democrats and Greenbackers are left
"out in the cold." With two organs they
think they can deliver the goods as agreed
upon. J. R. Durborrow has been hired to
"assume the pressure" of organ No. 2.
IN the fifth Congressional district of
Louisiana there is a Republican majority
of about ten thousand. The Democrats
can carry it only by committing acts of law
lessness, intimidation and violence towards
the colored people, and these they do with
perfect immunity from punishment. The
so-called earpetring governments were not
half's bad as the reign of terror now ex
isting in the South.
OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Hon. tialusha A. Grow opened the Re
publican campaign at Oil City on Satur
day evening last. lie diseu, , sed the real
cause of the hard times, showing: that
it could not have been the axing of a
definite time for the resumption of specie
payments, nor the want of sufficient circu
lating medium. lie spoke as follows, in
regard to the
Editor.
CURE FOR HARD TIMES,
The wastes of war and prodigal expendi
tures of peace must be re-earned in order to
restore the country to its old prosperity and
renewed growth in health and power. flow
is that to be done, and in what way can the
government aid in its accomplishment?
The first great requisite is fidelity to public
and private trusts, thus restoring confidence
and securing a faithful collection and honest
disbursement of public and private resources ;
next, less indebtedness abroad and greater
production at home ; and lastly, a rigid econ
omy in public expenditures, thereby lighten
ing the burdens of industry and enabling labor
to enjoy the fruits of its toil.
It is not economy, however, in public ex
penditures for the law-making power to with
hold appropriations of money, indispensable
for carrying on the necessary operations of the
government, that is simply defeating the pur
pose and destroying the very object of gov
ernment—nor is it economy to withhold the
money for the payment of the awards of the
Court of Claims. or for the necessary expenses
of the courts of justice. The first is a dis
honor to the nation in refusing to pay its hon
est debts. The other a great wrong to its cit
izens by a denial of justice. Nor is it econom
ical or patriotic to reduce the army, when it
is already too small to secure protection
against the savage to the fireside of the pioneer
settler who goes forth into the wilderness to
open a pathway for science and civilization.
It is neither wise statemanship nor real
economy, in times of great depression in bus
iness, for the government to stop all outlays
for necessary and indispensable public works.
Not that the government should create a ne
cessity for expenditures, but, when that neces
sity exists, why not give to unemployed labor
the benefits resulting therefrom in the times
of its greatest needs, especially as the gov
ernment would have the advantage, in such
times, of cheapness in doing its work ?
This kind of statesmanship was most con
spicuously illustrated by the Democratic party
in the last Congress, and, upon such a record,
it appeals to the people for a renewed lease of
power.
After the treating of the subject of the
tariff fully and ably, he referred as follows
to our
PARTY CLAIMS AND CANDIDATES
It is of paramount importance that the Re
publican party should have a majority in the
House of Representatives in the next Congress,
not only to guard the Treasury against the
Southern war claims that will be pressed for
payment, but also to guard the labor and
industrial interests of the country against the
free trade tendencies of the controlling ele
ments in the Democratic:party. And in order
to secure a continued ascendancy in the
United States Senate it is of a equal importance
that a majority of Republicans should be
returned to the State Legislature.
In State affairs there certainly can be no
reason for a change of political parties. Since
the Republican party was intrusted with power
in the State, the debt has been reduced, in
cluding the assets in the sinking fund, from
$38,478,961.07, July 1, 1860, to $13,352,386.38,
November, 30, 1877, while during this time
extra war expenses not paid by the general
government amounted to over $3,000,000, and
the aggregate for the support -of orphan
schools to $5,822,298 in extra appropriations
for the education of those whose fathers died
that the republic might live.
As to candidates, your patience will admit
of but a word. General Hoyt, the Republican
candidate for Governor, has, by his own energy
and inherent force of character, without the
fortuitous aid of wealth or family influence,
carved his way to honorable distinction. A
farmer boy, unaided and alone, he worked his
way through the schools and into the legal
profession at one of the most distinguished
bars in the commonwealth for culture and
judical learning, and over which, at one time,
be was presiding judge. But when liberty
and the institutions of the country were in
danger he left all for the battle-fields of the
republic.
Of his associates on the ticket, I need only
say that each has been tested in official posi
tions, and, as you all know, discharged their
duties wisely and well. But candidates are
but representatives of their respective organi
zations, and each is to be passed on by the
voter.
Political parties are to be judged as you
judge individuals, not more by their profes
sions than by their acts. "Do men gather
grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles ? By their
fruits ye shall know them."
What has the Democratic party done ? For
a third of a century it stood with baying
blood.liounds, obedient to the mandates of
the task master, ever ready to seize the pant
ing fugitive, guilty of no offense save his love
of liberty, and hurl him back into hopeless
bondage. By its theories of State sovereignty
it made a barricade of the Constitution of the
United States, behind which treason could
intrench itself in its deadly assaults upon the
life of the republi:!.
At last its Southern wing in defiance of the
will of the majority, constitutionally expressed
at the ballot-box, appealed to the cartridge—
box to nullify that decision and destroy the
institution of our fathers. In the effort they
hung the land in the sable habiliments of
mourning and woe ; drenched its soil with
martyr blood and flooded it with widows' and
orphans' tears.
The Northern wing of the party would have
brought this war to an ignominious close on
a dissolved Union and ruined republic. While
the boom of cannon from the victorious and
decisive battlefields of Gettysburg, still nerved
and cheered the patriot heart, as it echoed
down the centuries, this party met in conven
tion at Chicago declared the war a failure and
demanded an immediate cessation of hostilities.
We were asked to spike our guns when the foe was
at bay,
And the rags of his black banner were dropping
away ;
To tear down the proud name our Nation had won
And strike her brave bird from his home in the
In this night of national disaster, had the
councils and policy of the Democratic party
prevailed as expressed in its convention, in
its leading organs, by its votes in Congress
and State Legislatures, the sun of our first
century of existence would have set upon a
severed Union, with three thousand miles of
hostile frontier lined with frowning battle
ments and bristling cannon, thus entailing
upon coming generations the countless woes
of endless border conflicts. For if the people
between the Gulf and the States could not
live together in peace as one nation, they
certainly could not as two.
The last great experiment of free elective
government among men would then have been
tried, and the Goddess of Liberty, heaving her
last sigh, might then have winged her way
back from earth to Heaven, and the down
trodden of the world could ave hugged their
chains as the only legacy they could bequeath
to their children.
What has the Republican party done ? It
dedicated by legislative enactment and conse
crated forever the unoccupied public lands of
the. Union in free homes for free men, and bade
the sons of toil everywhere come sit under
their own vine and fig tree, secure against
homeless poverty and want.
It opened the courts of justice, closed by
the Democratic party against the poor, the
despised and friendless of the race, so that to
day all men on American soil of whatever
birth or condition, stand equal before the law.
It saved the lite of the republic in the hour of
its direst peril, thus preserving the ark and
covenant of liberty to coming times. It broke
the chain of the bondman, so that the sun in
his course across the continent from ocean to
ocean no longer rises on a master or sets on
a slave. And the martyr President sealed with
his blood the emancipation of a race, and
grasping four millions of broken shackles,
ascends to the bosom of his God. Thus con
sencrating the land of Washington as the
home of the immigrant and asylum of the exile
of every clime and of all races of men. Hence
forth the Goddess of Liberty can rear her al
tars without shuddering at the clank of the
chain riveted by her professed votaries, and
wherever on earth's broad surface wrong is
done to bleeding humanity, every American
heart will beat in sympathy, and if powerless
to do aught else, will drop a tear o'er the sad
fate of the oppressed.
The youngest voter before me was a tottling
boy when the Republican party was born. He
has seen it devolop from the cradle into its
young manhood crowned with these more glo
rious deeds than ever before circled the brow
of a political organization since time began.
On the second Tuesday of November next,
the voters of the Commonwealth will be called
upon to decide at the ballot-box to which of
these two parties they will intrust the rights
and their liberties, the hopes of their children
and the destinies of the repubiic.
WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT ?
The above inquiry forms the caption of
the article below in the Lewistown True
Donorrut of last week. If a Republican
newspaper had said just what we now find
in a Democratic contemporary, it would be
denounced as a subsidized Cameron organ.
We commend this article to fair minded
n►en of all parties, especially to Democrats
and Nationals whom politicians and dema
gogues are trying to bring together in a
common opposition to Cameron :
"Seriously, we should like to know just
what all this howl in the Democratic news
papers against the Camerons is about ? If
the Republicans should carry the next leg
islature, (which we devoutly hope against,)
and a Republican must be elected U. S.
Senator, what difference will it make to
Democrats, whether his name be Cameron,
or Jones, or Smith ? This wholesale abuse
of the Camerons reminds us very much
of the outrageous personal warfare made in
1872 against Gen. Ilartranft, and we very
much fear, if persisted in, it will have the
same effect—namely, help rather than in
jure the party denounced. Already we
see evidences of such results. As one coun
ty after another bolds its Republican Con
vention, the news comes "carried by Cam
eron." Abuse only arouses the friends of
Cameron to greater exertion. Now, we
submit, in all candor, isn't it high time for
the Democratic managers to direct the
campaign into its legitimate channel—a
battle for the supremacy of correct princi
ples—and let the Republicans fight out
their own family quarrel, between the Cam
eron and anti Cameron factions ?"
CHAIRMAN OF THE COUNTY COM
MITTEE.
The candidates nominated by the late
Republican County Convention met in
this place, on Tuesday last, and appointed
our townsman, J. G. Isenberg, esq., Chair
man of the County Committee for the en
suing year. Mr. Isenberg has the energy,
ability and experience to make a good
chairman, and his selection for the re
sponsible position displays wisdom on the
part of those having the matter in charge.
He is familiar with the politics of the
county, having occupied a similar position
a few years ago, during which time be
displayed tact and ability that augurs well
for the party in the present campaign. It
is the duty of every Republican in the
county to assist him in perfecting the or
ganization. Let every Republican con
sider himself a committee of one to ac
complish this end, and the result will be a
glorious victory on the second Tuesday of
November.
SPEER, the salary grabbing chairman
of the Democratic State Central Commit
tee, is running the Greenback as well as
the Democratic campaign, beginning with
Huntingdon county, where he has a broth
er-in law who leads the Greenbackers,
whose principal object is to elect members
of the Legislature. Speer is ready to swop
votes in any direction to secure Democratic
members of the Legislature ; ready even
to sacrifice Dill or Ross, for the reason
that the aspiring Speer is desirous to go
to the United States Senate. Such are
the ways that are dark and tricks which
are vain of Democratic leaders, each of
whom is to day engaged in some dark
scheme to overleap the ocher, plotting and
planning for each other's overthrow, and
willing to accept any auxiliary help that
will do this. It is like the party, which
was the original breeder of political m:s
-chief.—llarrisburg Telegraph.
THE editor of the Monitor exhausted
himself last week in an effort to convince
Democrats that the only way of saving the
imperiled Democratic party is to elect the
candidates nominated by the greenbackers.
Inspired by Chairman Speer, he advises
them to persue the course that Mr. North
said they would, at Cresson, when the
Greenback State Committee met there.
There is to be no Democratic ticket if
Speer, and North and the .Monitor can pre
vent one from being nominated. And
what are the Democrats to gain by this
if Foust and Doyle are sincere in the iron
clad pledge they have given in regard to
the election of United States Senator ?
Every step taken by the managers but in
dicates the more clearly the conspiracy in
which they are engaged.
THE Greenback Nationalist intimates
that the Democrats or National!, or who
ever they may be, that are threatening to
put its present editor out of his own es
tablishment and to instal another in his
place, will find difficulty when they attempt
to carry their threats into execution. We
presume the trouble will begin when Mr.
B. R. Foust comes to redeem the promise
he is alleged to have made to effect a
change in the management of the paper.
Of course, a Democrat thinly coated with
greenbackism would suit the purposes of
Foust and his owners better than Mr. Fries
does.
P. S.—Since the above was in type Mr.
Foust has made good his promise, and Mr.
Fries steps down and out.
MIL MASON, National candidate for
Governor, has given a thousand dollars to
wards the payment of the campaign ex
penses of his party, and promises another
contribution of the same amount. We
would suppose that a man who has two
thousand dollars to throw away in a hope
less race for an office is too much of a
capitalist. But it oeems to be the plan of
the communists to get such fellows to run.
It secures that "divide" required by their
creed if not by their p;atform,
Tut last Legislature is entitled to much
credit for the act reducing the fees of
county officers. It relieves the people of
the State, in their dealings with those
officials, of not less than half a million an•
nually, and touches the pocket of every
man struggling to overcome financial em
barrassment while in the hands of the law.
B. F. FOUST, Speer's candidate for the
Legislature on the Greenback ticket, true
to his pledge previous to his nomination,
has purchased the Nationalist, the organ
of that party in this county. Messrs. North
and Geissinger were the gentlemen who
called upon Mr. Fries and paid over the
purchase money.
•
REPUBLICANS, register at once.
THERE are still some greenbackers who
are not satisfied with Foust and Doyle.
That written pledge is not sufficient. We
would suggest that they be taken before
an officer (lualified to administer oaths and
that they be "duly sworn according to
law" that they are greenbackers and that
they will remain so until a United States
Senator is elected, unless North, through
his county committee, gives them perniis•
sion to vote for Speer or some other Dem
ocrat. Let us have the affidavits. The
National candidates are not to be trusted
without them.
SENATOR WALLACE is announced semi
officially as a candidate for Vice President.
The Chairman of the Democratic Con
gressional Committee says he is supported
by a large field of backers. With Randall
running for the Presidency and Wallace
for the Vice Presidency, the Democracy of
Pennsylvania will have an opportunity to
show tc which leader they adhere. We
will see then whether Chairman Speer is
a Randall man, as he was two or three years
ago, or a Wallace man, as he was at the
Pittsburgh convention.
IN ACCORDANCE with a resolution
adopted by the National Labor-Greenback
State Committee at Cresson, each member
of a Greenback club is to be assessed ten
cents for the purpose of raising a campaign
fund. Isn't that the wrong kind of a
"divide ?" How glad some of the green
backers will be to contribute towards the
election of such hard workingmen as North,
and Foust and Doyle !
"Aso to look to the Democratic party for
salvation, I never thought of that in my life.
No good thing comes out of no, not Naza
reth—but that other place."
When the Democrats endorse the green-
back ticket, perhaps they will pass a reso-
lution endorsing the above very unique
sentiment of Rev. Doyle's.
ANOTHER railroad collision, near Mingo
Junction, Ohio, on the Pittsburgh, Cin
cinnati & St. Louis railroad, on Tuesday
night, resulted in the killing of twelve
persons and the seriously wounding of
twenty-two others.
COL. WM. P. WILSON, a prominent
lawyer in Bellefonte, died at his residence
in that place, on the morning of the 3d

Republican State Committee in 1877.
JOHN M. BICKEL, 1 elllOCratie State
Treasurer in ISSS, issued $lOO,OOO worth
of State bonds, which have lately been un
earthed, and the finding of them has caused

POLITICAL CHOW-CHOW.
—A new Greenback paper will shortly be issued
in Harrisburg.
—Dii!, in charge of a body guard, is traveling
through the oil regions.
—Who is to be appointed collector for this coun
ty, to gather in the ten cent assessment levied upon
each member of the greenback party, is what is
troubling some of the members of that organiza
tion.
—Figure by the "rule of three." If the Dem
ocracy can file three hundred millions Southern
claims in one branch of Congres.4, how many mil
lions can they file and pass and pay with two
branches of Congress?
—Many greenbackers in this place are still loud
in their denunciation of the way in which Speer
gobbled their organization. No amount of iron
clad resolutions will suffice to win them over to the
support of Speer and North's ticket.
—The Philadelphia Times' special from Scran
ton, says the Labor party is endeavoring to force
a general strike in the coal fields this summer to
create sympathy for their ticket, and win votes
for Mason with the tears of starving miners.
—The able speech of Hon. Galusha A. Grow, at
Oil City, on Saturday last, has raised a breeze
among the Democrats. The Harrisburg Patriot of
Wednesday, has no less than half a dozen para
graphs, besides a long winded leader, referring
to it.
—The Pittsburg Critic propounds this conun
drum : "Why did Samuel R. Mason, the Green
back Labor candidate fur Governor, transfer his
stock in the First National Bank of Mercer to an
other party. (Mrs. M.) oa or about the time of his
nomination ?"
—lt was a Republican member of Congress,
Mr. Fort, and not a Democrat, who introduced the
joint resolution to prohibit the further retirement
of greenbacks, which was adopted by both Houses.
Honest Greenbackers, remember this when you
are asked to play tail to Speer's kite.
Capt. D. Ross Miller, of Franklinville, this
county, requests us to say that he will be in Hun
tingdon next week, at which time he will be glad
to confer with "honest Greenbackers" in regard
to the calling of a convention for the purpose of
nominating a straightout Greenback tiekq.
—lt is a nice pan of fish the Greenbackers have
had hashed up for them in Huntingdon county•
Speer has gathered up the concern, bag and bag
gage, and will lead them among the Democracy,
if they submit to the ways into which they are
now turned. Greenback fish Speered.—Juniata
Sentinel.
—lt is said that the Democratic candidate for
treasurer, in Cambria county, has got himself into
a peck of trouble by having given a ten-day note
for $2OO to an opponent for the nomination to
withdraw from the contest, and now the candidate
will have to step down and out, and when the
committee meets to name his successor it will do
the fair thing by placing McPike on the ticket.
—The Democratic congressional conference of
the 17th District met at Cresson, on Wednesday
of last week, and after thirty-three ballots, com
promised on the nomination of Gan. A. H. Col
froth, of Somerset county. The nomination is an
empty honor, as Gen. J. M. Campbell, of Cambria,
the Republican candidate, will walk over the
course without any trouble.
—Rumor has it that a new Democratic paper
will make its appearance in this place in the near
future. Since the Monitor has espoused Speer's
pet fusion scheme straightout Democrats complain
that they are without an organ, and as they have
both the money and the brains to run a paper,
they do not propose to be left "out in the cold"
by Speer or "any other man." "Fun ahead."
—The Republicans of Mifflin county have pla
ced the following ticket in the field : Assembly, J.
Henderson Maclay ; Sheriff, David Muthersbaugh ;
Treasurer, James Fichthorn; Commissioners, John
Henry and Charles Bratton, jr.; Director of the
Poor, William Foy; Coroner, Dr. A. T.Hamilton;
Auditors, Peter Barefoot and R. F. Myers ;
Chairman County Committee, George F. Hoffman.
—The Hollidaysburg Standard must look
through queer spectacles when it says that the
papers of this county 'have aLeakly begun to
throw dirt at the gentlemen who have been named
for office." As far as the JOURNAL is concerned
we are certain that it has thrown no "dirt" so far,
neither will it during the entire campaign. Until
the Standard shuts off the sluiees of filth that it
weekly pours out at the Camerons it is the last
paper in the State that shoe! I undertake to in
str ‘ct its contemporaries in genteel journalism.
--Chairman Dewees, of the Nationals, was
interviwed in Pittsburg, the other day, when ho
gave it as his opinion that the Democrats and
Greenbackers would form a fusion in this county,
by which means Speer's legislative ticket would
be elected. Of course they will fuse if Speer and
North are able to manage their followers. But
can they uo it ? Will honest Democrats and Green
backers permit themselves to be sold "like sheep
in the shambles" for the political aggrandizement
of R. Milton Speer? We will see.
Mr. Dill's Battle for the People.
Mr. Dill, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, having been a member of the House
and of the Senate, for many years, and being
announced to the workingmen, shippers, and
transporters of Pennsylvania as an Anti
corporation Candidate, the following is pre—
sented as a brief record of his Legislative
struggle iu behalf of the People against the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company and kindred
corporations :
Mr. Dill being a member of the House of
Representatives voted for the Nine Million
Steal—a bill proposing to take nine million
dollars from the securities in the sinking fund
for the benefit of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and auxiliary corporations.—S2e
House Journal of 1870, page 97.
At the same sessiou a bill was presented to
authorize railroad companies to lease or be
come lessees, and to make contracts with other
railroad companies, corporations, and parties.
Under its provisions gigantic combinations
took life, and by merger and consolidation of
corporations, individual enterprise was crush
ed, Mr. Dill voted "AYE."—See house Journal
of 1870. page 335.
The Act to incorporate the now notorious
Milford and Matamoras Railway Company
being pending, Mr. Dill voted "AYE."—See
House Journal of 1870, page 725.
A supplement to the Milford and Matamoras
Railway bill having afterward been introduced
—diverting $lO,OOO paid annually by the Erie
Railway Company from the State Treasury to
the treasury of the Milford and Matamoras
Railway Company—Mr. Dill voted "AYE.'—
See House Journal of 1870, page 1119.
This naked theft of $lO,OOO annually from
the State Treasury having been detected and
brought to the attention of the Executive,
Governor Geary, at the session of 1872, by
special message recommended a repeal of the
law. A bill for that purpose having been
introduced, Mr. Dill, then a Senator, voted
"No."—See Senate Journal of 1872, pages 795,
796.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company desir
ing a sort of Credit:Mobilier Charter to enable
it to operate its Western leased lines, an Act
was introduced to incorporate the Pennsylva
nia Company. This Act was the forerunner
of a series of bills passed during the session
of 1871 and 1872 in the interest of associated
capital, and in hostility to the interests of the
worKing man and the business community.
Mr. Dill voted "AYE."—See House Journal of
1870, page 983.
Mr. Billingfelt, Senator from Lancaster,
having offered the following resolution, viz :
"Resolved, That the Committee on Railroads
be instructed to report a bill fixing the maxi
mum rates of freight and fare to be charged
by all railroad companies in this Common
wealth," a motion was made to indefinitely
postpone the resolution. Upon which motion
Mr. Dill voted "AYE."—See Legislative
Journal of 1871, page 841.
Upon the Act to incorporate the infamous
South Improvement Company, which corpora
tion was the precursor of the Standard Oil
Company, Mr. Dill voted "AYE"—See Senate
Journal of 1871, page 1078.
The Act to incorporate the Laurel Run Im
provement Company, afterward the Reading
Coal and Iron Company, under which Mr.
Gowan acquired control of the coal fields of
Schuylkill county, being before the Senate,
Mr. Billingfelt offered an amendment which
destroyed the effect of the vital clause of the
bill. This clause was as follows : "And it
shall be lawful for any railroad or mining
company existing under the laws of this State
to subscribe for, or purchase, or guarantee
the bonds of the company hereby incorporated."
Mr. Billingfelt's amendment having prevailed,
and being fatal to the purpose tb f Mr. Gowan,
the vote was, on motion of Mr. Dill, reconsid
ered, and the original section reinserted.—
See Legislative Journal of 1871, page 1022.
The original "Free Pipe Bill" having been
introduced under the title of "A Supplement
to the Act of April 29, 1874," extending the
provisions of said Act to embrace within the
provisions of the same the transportation of
oil and natural gas by means of pipe lines, Mr.
Dill made a dilatory motion to commit the
bill to the Committee on Finance.—See Senate
Journal of 1875, page 339. The bill having
been again reported on March 3, 1875, was
defeated on March 4, 1875. Mr. Dill DODGED
on the call of yeas and nays.
A bill having been introduced to authorize
and direct the Attorney General, upon com
plaint made by parties whose interests are
thereby affected, to institute proceedings
according to law against corporations alleged
to have violated duties imposed upon them by
law, Mr. Dill voted "No."—See House Journal
of 1870, page 1042.
A bill having been introduced entitled "An
Act to present gambling and lotteries in this
Commonwealth," Mr. Dill voted "No."—See
House Journal of 1870, page 562.
An Act being pressed at the session of 1877
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to
prevent strikes by their employees upon trains

"Intimidation" Bill, entitled "An Act for the
Protection of Passengers on Railroads," Mr.
Dill voted "AYE."—See Senate Journal of
1877, page 452.
Suffice it to say, his vote in the Legislature
has always been at the service of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company and kindred Cor

was a surplus of votes he was sometimes excused.
THE STORM KING.
Wallingford, Conn., Almost Destroyed.
Graphic Description of the Scenes During and
After the Terrible Storm—The Funeral of
Twenty-Seven of the Victims Attended by Ten
Thousand People—The Damage to Property
From Two to Three Hundred Thousand Dollars.
At 5 o'clock last Friday evening the employees
of the Wallingford factories and shops stopped
work and started for their homes in groups, as
usual. They saw, hanging like a pall on Mount
Lamentation, to the west of Meriden and the
northwest of Wallingford, a cloud of inky black
ness and threatening appearance. Over to the
eastward was another dark cloud, and both seem
ed to be approaching Wallingford very slowly.
Zigzag lightning played among the dark folds of
these clouds, and the scene was strange enough to
attract the attention of a class little given to de
tooting anything grand or unusual in the manner
in which storms come. The wind seemed to be
blowing from the southeast, and it was thought
that neither cloud would burst over the village.
Still they came nearer, and as they approached
they assumed the form of upright columns of
dense material, both moving toward a point in
the heavens directly over the Wallingford plains.
About an hour after these slowly moving columns
were first observed, the groups of people watching
them saw their speed increase and the flashes of
lightning become more intense in their brightness.
They also saw a cloud column of snowy whiteness
moving between the black converging clouds, and
apparently whirling down the ill-fated town with
lightning velocity from over the summits of the
blue hills to the northward. There was a death
' like stillness in the air, and every living thing
seemed to scent the impending calamity. A few
drops of rain came pattering down.
Meanwhile the snow white column of cloud,
flanked by columns of awful blackness, swept
down upon the place with terrible swiftness. Men
started to run for their houses to warn their wives
and children, but they had hardly started before
the storm, with its full fury, was upon them and
they were paralized with terror. The storm seem
ed to descend just upon the little lake that lies to
the northward of the depot. In an instant the
lake becama a seething whirlpool. Those who
were watching it say that they could see its yellow
bottom where the waters had been whirled into
the air in a white foam. Drawn up by the whirl
wind, the waters overflowed with a grand sweep
the land to the eastward of the lake. When once
it had burst the storm seemed to change its direc
tion. It had been moving southwest, but now it
swept around to the eastward and pas sed up over
the hill just north of the centre of the village. It
had assumed the form of a revolving column of
white sand from the 'Wallingford plains, branches
of trees and pieces of board, and whatever could
be drawn within the influence of the whirlwind.
Whirling with awful velocity and moving along the
earth with terrific force this irresistible mass came
in contact with a,dwelling and flattened it. There
wee no struggle with the objects that were in its
pathway ; they were crushed as though the whirl
wind bad presented an unyielding front of solid
material. Black with the ruins of shattered build
ings the whirlwind went sweeping ur Colony
street, uprooting trees and demolishing houses.
The buildings were leveled to the ground as though
a mountain rock had fallen upon them. The
Catholic church was a fiat heap of boards and
splintered timbers; From this point the course of
the whirlwind was up and over the hill toward the
centre of the town, but a little to the northward.
Here and there, seemingly right in the track of
the cyclone, occasional buildings were left unin
jured and almost untouched, while within a few
feet of them the terrific force of the elements had
been displayed in the twisting of the trunk of
some great elm.. The storm reached the height of
its fury while sweeping over the said plains, but
much damage was done in its course up the hill
side and beyond. The time between the bursting
of the storm over the lake and its disappearance
to the eastward of the hill was much less than the
reader has occupied in reading these lines.
When the terror stricken people partly recover
ed their senses a scene of awful desolation met
their eyes, and the shrieks and groans of their
dying neighbors greeted their ears. Some of the
demolished houses had caught fire, and had it not
been for the drenching rain which _immediately
followed, the ruins would in some cases have been
burned, and the horrors of the disaster multiplied
by the roasting of persona lying helpless from
wounds. Then the people began to look after
their dead and dying. The aoors of the brick
school house on Colony street were thrown open,
and it was made a dead house. In one house just
north of the church, lived the Mooney family, six
in number. Five of them were taken from th e
ruins dead.
The family of M. J. Hoidle, who eight months
ago came to Wallingford from New York as silver
refiner in the R. Wallace manufacturing company
were all killed save himself. He had gone to his
home, and, while his wife was preparing supper,
sat with his youngest child on his knee, tossing
it up and down and singing to it, his littlo daugh
ter singing with him and playing with the baby.
He heard the rain drops patter against the window
panes and went to close the windows up stairs,
Hissing his baby boy and handing it to his wife.
As he was lowering a window the tornado struck
the house, and in an instant made a complete
wreck of it. He caught hold of a ladder in the
room and was carried with it some 200 feet into
an adjoining lot, where he landed on his feet un
hurt, save from slight bruises on his person, caus
ed by flying shingles and timbers. He hurried
hack to his house a: - .d there found his wife lying
dead and scalped, with the infant clasped to her
breast, also dead, something having struck the
little one on the left temple which probably killed
it instantly. An oval place wan cut in the head
at the temple as clean as though done with an
instrument. His little daughter lay moaning in
the ruins, and when he reached her he found the
little one badly cut and bruised, the right arm
broken in three places, and her shoulder blade
broken. Her jaw was also broken and her tongue
badly cut, so that she could not utter the "Papa,"
which she vainly tried to do. She lived until, at
about midnight, death kindly came to her relief,
and it was all the relief Elle could have. Then
the strong man gave way and wept like a boy on
finding himself deprived of all in the world that
he 1131 d dear.
When the sun rose it shone upon a scene of
complete d solation. The track of the whirlwind
was about four hundred yards wide, and it extend
ed from the lake to the great hills, some four miles.
The streets devasted by the tornado were Colony,
Main, Elm and High streets, and Wallace row,
sometimes called Christian street. Nearly all the
houses on the plains were mortgaged to Meriden
banks which will consequently be heavy losers, as
insurance policies do nut cover any loses by wind.
The number of buildings destroyed or badly shat
tered is about fifty-five. The aggregate damage
to property is estimated at from $200,000 to
$250,000. The Catholic cemetery was devastated
by the winds, and a number of monuments were
ruined, including the fine brown stone monuments
of the O'Reilly, Cassin, Harland, James Lee and
Curran families. Most of these monuments are
ruined beyond repair. One of the largest trees on
Colony street had its tough branches st•ipped of
twigs, and the hare limbs pointed as though they
would signify the direction in which the furious
storm had gone. Mr. Shepard, the artist, who
lived upon the hill, had one side of his house
carried away. A glass globe filled with water,
and containing a fish commonly known as a "bull
head," was left uninjured, although it was attach
ed to the same side of the house from which the
wall was torn asunder. Louis Guyot's house on
the plains was twisted all out of shape, and the
walls stand after the manner of the leaning tower.
Inside, the tornado stripped the plaster and all
the contents of the room bare, and utterly demol
ished everything except a single picture of Cardi
nal M'Closkey, which was kept from being carried
away because of the three laths which remained,
and into which the nail holding the picture was
fastened. A curious sight to-day is a cow without
any horns, they having been knocked from the
animal by some missile hurled by the wind. There
are persons who confidently assert that the wind
was strong enough to blow off the horns. Thous
ands of persons were on the scene of disaster to
day and a curious fact relative to the morbid
curiosity of women was shown by the fact that
they, with one accord, asked for the dead house
and the privilege of looking at the bodies imme
diately on their arrival on the plains. The num•
ber of the dead is 27.
WALLINOFORD, Conn., August 11.—Impressive
funeral services were held here to-day for those
who lost their lives by the terrible tornado on
Friday. Fully ten thousand people were in at
tendance. Altogether twenty-seven bodies have
been interred. Seventeen persons, three of whom
will scarcely live through the night, still remain
at the hospital. Promises of assistance are comic g
in from all sides.
E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron.
The great success and delight of the people.
In fact, nothing of the kind has ever been
offered to the American people which has so
quickly found its way into their good favor

teed to cure the worst case of dyspepsia or

Overtasking the Energies.
It is not advisable for any of us to overtask
our energies, corporeal or mental, but in the
eager pursuit of wealth or fame or knowledge,
how many transgress this salutary rule. It
must be a matter of great importance to all
who do so to know how they can regain the
vigor so recklessly expended. The remedy is
neither costly or difficult to obtain. Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters is procurable in every
city, town and settlement in America, and it
compensates for a drain of bodily or mental
energy more effectually than any invigorant
ever prescribed or advertised. Laboring men,
athletes, students, journalists, lawyers, cler
gymen, physicians, all bear testimony to its
wondrously renovating powers. It increases
the capabilities for undergoing fatigue, and
counteracts the injurious effects upon the
system of exposure, sedentary habits, un
healthy or wearying avocations, or an insalu
brious climate, and is a prime alterative,
diuretid and blood depurent. [aug.2-lm.
MISERABLENESS.—The most wonderful
and marvelous success in cases where persons
are sick or pining away from a condition of
miserableness, that no one knows what ails
thens, (profitable patients for doctors,) is
obtained by the use of Hop Bitters. They
begin to cure from the first dose and keep it
up until perfect health and strength is restor
ed. Whoever is a icted in this way need not
suffer, when they can get Hop Bitters. See
"Truths" and "Proverbs" in another column.
