In conclusion the commissioners say:
"Deducting the amount from the total ex
penditures of the year it appears that the
ordinary expmse of the county in 1880
were 181,700.15, which is $0,500.00 less than
la 1888, when the county auditors reported
saving of evor 50,000 in the current
yearly expenses.
"These facts explain why the commis
sioners were warranted in reducing the
county tax rate from 2J te 2 mills and in
resolving te liquidate $50,000 of the county'
bended Indebtedness this spring."
THE GUNNER GUILTY.
Backs County's Court Decides Against
Pigeon Shoetlug Matches.
Pigeon sheeting contests have been given
a black eye by the Bucks county court
sitting in quarter sessions. Iu a decision
just rendered by Judge Yerkes, A. Nelsen
Lewis, of the Philadelphia Qun club. Which
has sheeting grounds at Andalusia, has
been declared n violator of the state law.
In sheeting a pigeon en December 11, 1887,
which was net killed, hut only wounded,
he did, in the words of the statute, " wan
tonly or cruelly illtreat" an animal.
Judge Ycrkcs opinion Is evor 4,000
words long, and abounds in roferoneos te
former judicial decisions. " Te make out
the ofTense," it runs, " the commonwealth
must show, first, that the pigeon was ill
treated or abused; second, that the man
ner of the treatment was wanton or cruel.
One of the pigeons was wounded and
alighted en a tree, and as seen as its
wounded condition was discovered it was
killed. It Is ill-treatment or abuse te
wound a living creature se that it lingers
In that condition for a period, long or
sbertr'
Speedily answering this question in the
affirmative, the Judge next proceeds te
consider whether the action was wanton.'
There Is wantenness, he argues, when
ever pain Is caused without cnuse or geed
reason.
Warming up te his task, the judge then
disposes ofthe plea that plgoen sheeting
is necessary te develop marksmunshlp.
He suggests that clay pigeons or glass
balls would answer ns well as 11 ve pigoenx,
and mrtber hints that if the members of
the Philadelphia club are tratuing them
selves for army service in tiroe of war, it
would be a geed scheme for them te use
Titles Mllier than shotguns. Denyiug this
as a sulliclent nrgument for the sheeting,
the Judge as speedily overrides the point
that the sheeting was dene te propare the
birds for feed. "When pigeons in cap
tivity are needed for feed," he argues,
"there are quicker and surer ways of kill
ing them than by sheeting." .
The final blew is dealt te the defendant's
cause when Judge Yerkes approaches the
point made in his favor that he did net
intend te wound, but te kill. It appears te
the legal mind that the heldlngtif a shoot sheet
ing contest presupposes that so.ne will
sheet better than ethers that while seme
will kill their birds ethers will wound.
Summing up his points the judge decides
that a misdemeanor was committed by Mr.
Lewis.
JOHNSTOWN STARTLED.
A Cinder Dump Cnuses un Explosion
Which Shakes the Town.
Ill-fated Johnstown hud a big scare Sun
day night. Fortunately no lives were lest,
and by almost a miracle no person was
even injured.
The Cumin la Iren company is building a
dump along the Conemaugh river. About
11 o'clock en Sunday night a lead of cin
ders was thrown into the river, when a
torrifie explosion followed, shaking the
whole town. In an instant everybody wus
in the streets, thinking something torrible
had happened, and for a tlme the citizens
were in a state of terror. In Woedvalo,
near where the explosion occurred, beds
were tilted en their edge and the. occupants
thrown out.
A huge piece of Hying cinder foil en the
reef of a heuse, breke through and dropped
en a bed occupied by a man and ills wife.
The bed clothing caught ilre and the flames
communicated te the building, but wero
extinguished before muc' dnmage was
done. Anether nicce el ' der breke the
corner off a dwelling heube. Hundreds of
nieces of the cinders struck Lambert &
Kress' ale brewery, and breke almost every
pane of glims In the windows tere a piece
of the building out, and set the building en
flre. One of the Cambria company's loco
motives, stauuing n Oil r tne sceno ei tee ox ex ox

cinder wero thrown nearly a quarter of a
inile and foil en the reefs of heuses in
Prospect.

Death of Pennsylvania Who Led a
Remarkable LlftJ.
The IsTKLtieKHCXR en Saturday an
nounced t be death of J. X. Beldler, which
occurred in Helena, Ment, ea Wednesday,
and that he was a native of Mt. Jey, this
county. Here ia a dispatch from Helena
which contains some Interesting facts t
Jehn X. Beldler, better known as X.
Beldler, whose death occurred here a few
days since, was one of the pioneers and
picturesque character of Mentana. Bern
In Pennsylvania In 1832. a spirit of adven
ture took him West while a young man.
His life was mero like a wild romance of
the days of Rebin Heed than aa existence
in the nineteenth century. Socially, he was
a most genial companion, and while able
te face deatli without a quiver, as he
had dene mere than once, he was gener
ous and of a kindly nature, which made
lifelong friends for him. In 1803, having
heard wild reports of great discoveries in
llauunck, Mentana, which was, then Idaho,
X. was fired with the ambition te
be In the front ranks with these who
blar.ed the trails In the Went. He arrived
In Uannack June 10 of that year. He Joined
the Law and Order society or the Vigilantes,
and his share In theso stirring scenes which
necessitated such an order was only limited
by his physical endurance. He acted as
deputy marshal and as a messenger fur the
Wolls-Farge Express company. He
assisted A.J. Simmons, government Indian
agent at Fert Peck, ou the Missouri.
He was also a guide at the National
park for many years and in 1869 became
an Indian scout. He was captured by the
Crews and after his return told a story re
sembling that of Jehn Smith and Poca
hontas. He also claimed te have married
a squaw, who was his wife only about a
year, the term of his lire with the trlbe.
Marshal Irwin appointed X. Deputy
United States marshal, 'which position he
held under Marshal Kelly. The revenue,
howevcr, from this seurce was but small
in late years.
Although his enemies claimed that he
had sent many an innocent man te his
long home as Judge Lynch's right-hand
man, it was the old man's beast that he
"never hanged an Innocent person." He
was a far mere picturesque character in his
way than ever depicted by Bret Harte in
his most Imaginative mood. It was a
peculiarity of X. that he was a blewbard
with the experience behind it. The stories
of bis career as hangman for the Vig Vig
llantes would 1111 volunies. One of
the best is as follews: X. had pre
pared at ene tltne te. officiate at a
special matinee where four men were te be
strung up. When the time for opening the
proceedings arrived, howevor. X. found
thore were five men ou the tab instead of
four, and that ene of them was an eld-time
partner. ' J ust go easy, jennny," saiu a.
' I'll fix this all right.'' Se be went te the
master of ceromenios sad said: "See
hore I I hain't prepared the ropes but for
four, and hain't get enough repe for
more'n that and rene's a dollar a pound
and mighty expensive. This thing can't
go through." But there had te be a bang
ing, ami the upshot was that but four
dangled from tne ends of the renes, and
X.'s diplomacy had saved his friend's neck.
The Philadelphia Timts says a leve dis
appointment made him scek the far West
beyond civilization, where he first nerved
under Jehn Brown iu Kansas, and finally
landed in Mentana, where he became the
chief exccutlve officer of the Vigilantes.
Colonel Sanders, senator-elect, doliverod a
eulogy at the funeral, concluding as fol fel fol
eows: ' Leeking back evor these years, who has
been mere active than he7 .It is twenty-five
years nearly since he was first apKlutcd
United States deputy marshal and during
all the iutorveulng perieds oxcept for two
or three years, when he was an officer in
the treasury department of the United
States, and a littie period of tlme when he
was absent from this territory in ether
ompleytnont, he lias occupied-that posi
tion ; and I stand in the prosenco of three
of theso principals who confided te
htm the trust and who charged him
with the most dangereus and responsible
duties that evor existed en our frontier. I
can appeal te theiu in entire confldeuce te
affirm that he shrank from no responsi
bility, that he accepted all danger that
came Inte his path and willingly accepted
the consequences, whatsoevor" they
might be. Kngaged in all theso contro
versies which stirred theso poeplo iu the
midst of this passion that has surged
around us, I don't believe that Beldler
evor said te any human being a thing un
kind. His heart was as large as the pralrle
be loved se well, and bis courage as large
as the mountains which lured him thither.
I am entirely mindful ofthe fact that alter
contributing te the welfare of order and
peace here, iu this state of Mentana, events
passed by him and that he did net seem te
adapt himself te the changed condition.
His life was pissed upon the frontler bat
tling with savage Indians,und the events of
theso times had become part and parcel of
his human being and he wan justly proud
that this was se. He could leek back
unabashed and net ashamed that In all
these conditions he had discharged the du
ties of a pioneer bravely and well. And
new when railroads traverse our valleys,
and peace every where prevails, the tell for
which he was fitted he had already per
formed. The new life did notcemo teliim
happily, and he could net adapt blmself te
the changed condition, and thorelire wit
nesses who can say hew much of it is due
te his horelc endeavor. He counted no in
terest of his own and scorned wealth in the
interest ofthe public, demand. And new
we are about te lay him la the bountiful
valley near us and orect in bronze or mar
ble a memorial of the gratitude of his
neighbors and friends, where shall be in
scribed ou it base : " Brave pioneer, te
true occasions true."

Tobacco Buyer Net Tet Ready te Make

The local leaf tobacco market the past
week was very flat. The sales by city
deslers feet up only 285 cases.
Henry Shlffner has bought two acres of
Havana seed from Jehn Mylln, of West

Merrin are said te liave bought a littie seed
leaf. Jonas Mumma has sold his crop of
Havana seed. He received 22 cents for

Frank Pentlarge, ene of Lancaster's
heaviest buyers, was out looking at the
crop for several days. He did net buy any
and says he has decided te koep hands off
for the present.
Soveral ether doalers who have looked at
the crop lmve come te the same conclusion,
and thore dees net appear te be any pros

spoken te say It is a risky crop te buy new
and they propose waiting for a few months
until they see hew it will turn out.
The New Yerk Market.
Frem th. U. 8. Tobacco Journal.
Business has improved somewhat the
past week, moderatoly though as yet, but
an Improvement is visible anyhow. The
Inqulries for seed leaf run All in the direc
tion of llllers and binders, and seme 800
cases of Onondaga, Wisconsin and Penn
sylvania seed have been sold te meet this
demand. The buyers are grumbling at the
prlces maintained by the market for these
classes of goods; but Ihey are grumbling
without cause. In the first place, thore is
nat a surplus of seed leaf in the market,
and secendly the packer pays tbegrower
wrapper prices for leaf which the
manufacturer will insist upon us buy
imr for filler and binder nurnoses enlv.
""""Under these circumstances the packer "is
piaceu us it wero uoiweon two mill
stones, and his profit ground almost te
atoms. What appears thorefore as a "high
prlce is actually hardly a fair remunera
tion. The difficulty experienced by the
paekers te get a fair profit ou their packing
induces them also te be tardy about in
vestment in the new crops. Besides, the
new crops de net promlse te excel partic
ularly either in soundness of quality. The
heavy and constant ralnsduriug the grow
ing season have imparted te them dofectri
which inake them dangereus for an early
and safe Investment. Much will be useu
again for expert, as the tobacco crop In the
state of Vera Cruz, a tobacco crop which is
largely consumed in Europe, has been al
most entirely lest this year.
Thodemand for Sumatra has also com
menced te revive. Negotiations for large
transactions are under way. The actual
sale for the past week, howevor, has been
limited te small quantities, and principally
te sample bales. The statistics presented
by our Washington correspondent iu re
gard te the classification of the Sumatra
leaf for the first threo months of the fiscal

of Rather Nevel Description,
The Qucboe Legislature has Just passed
an act of a novel description. The net,
which has new the force of law, provides
that a bounty of 100 acres of land shall
hereafter be granted te overy head of a
family of twelve living legitlmate children.
Colonel Rhodes, the uilnlster of agricul
ture, who Is ene of UM,re w Englishmen In
the Legislature, in rrrbpeslng tne measure,
said the Quebec government was only con
tinuing the idea Inaugurated by Leuis
XIPs great minister, Celbert, who granted
300 llvres annually te the father or every
family of ten children and 400 llvres te
every family or twolve children, besldes
twenty llvres te each youth marrying at
twenty, and the same te overy girl mar
ried at sixteen. The intention of the bill
was te attach the poeplo te thelr natlve
eauntry, and this, the commissioner of ag
riculture claimed, could host he attained
by increasing the family clrcle and creat
ing n family patrimony.
Promler Morcer, the heed ofthe govern
ment, who supported the measure, at
tributed the marvelmts growth of the
French rare In America te thelr religious
observance of marriage as a sacred rite
and declares that the proposed law was In
tended as n tribute te their virtues. The
act was passed unanimously by the Legis

hlmself of its previsions was the spoaker
protein ofthe Legislature, F. X. Lemieux,
who is the father of twolve hearty children.
Familles of twelve children are a ery
