Two men entered the houseof John
Beltzhoover, an aged an well-to-do
farmer, living near Roiling Springs,
Cumberland county, at midnight on
July 30, and after tying Uim ana a
woman named Richwino, held revolv
ers to Mrs. Beltzlioover's head and
compelled her to point out where her
husband's money was concealed,
amounting to $1,000. Mrs. Richwino
escaped and gave the alarm, when the
robbers fled. In the struggle Roltz
hoover was struck on the head with a
club and seriously injured. This is the
second robbery of a like nature In that
vicinity in a week.
The growth of Bradford, in
McKean county, has been wonderful.
A year ago it was an idle village of
five hundred people ; but now its ten
thousand are projecting an opera
house, churches, high school buildings
and fine residences ; stores rent at from
fifteen hundred dollars to eighteen
hundred dollars upon its business
streets, and building- lots bring fancy
prices. Its wells are safe and profita
ble, yielding from twelve thousand to
twenty thousand barrels a day, and a
railroad is now in progress of con
struction, which Bradford relies on to
make it the greatest ecu t re in the
whole oil region.

Our Burgess Dead.
Caleb Sweazcy, died at his residence
in this place last Sunday, aged nearly
63 years. Mr. Swea.ey came to Em
porium from Dowuingtown in 1868,
and has been an esteemed citizen. He
was foremost in all public enterprises,
nd the cause of education received his
especial attention. Last spring he
na elected Burgess, and held the of
fice when he died, and was also School
Director. His funeral took place last
Tuesday, and was largely attended by
Citizens ana many warm menus irom
broad. The beautiful and impressive
Episcopal funeral service was con
ducted by Rev. H. Q. Miller, Rector of
Emmanual Church, after which the
Knights Templar, of which order the
deceased was an honored member,
took charge of tho funeral and weut
through their impressive ceremony,
and afterwards conveyed the corpse to
thBufialo depot the Sir Knights in
full uniform, and the Emporium band
playing a dirge, presented a scene
mournfully impressive. The remains
of the deceased were taken to Groton,
N. Y., for interment.

On the afternoon of August 2d a ter
rible tornado, surpassing in fury
any blow known for years, passed over
the region about Plymouth, N. C, ac
companied by an extraordinary full of
hail, causing great destruction to va
rious descriptions of property. Nu
merous frame houses and all sorts of
fencing were prostrated, tho largest
trees uprooted, valuable live stock
killed, and great damage done to the
growing corn and other crops. In
k Plymouth a Baptist church was blown
down and other houses damaged. On
the large plantation of Colonel Asa
Johnson, just outside of the town, al
the negro quarters, barns, stables and
all outside buildings were swept away,
and only tho heaviest and strongest
portions of the stately mansion were
left standing. All that section of
eountry in tho path of the tornado
suffered fclmilarly.
A dispatch from Burlington, Iowa,
ays that two tramps stopped ut farm
er's house near Trenton, Henry
county, and after getting a good din
ner from the farmer's wifo, and learn
ing that her husband would not be
home till evening, suddenly seized her,
outraged her person, aud left her in
sensible. They had stopped the cries
of the farmer's little daughter by roll
ing her up tightly in a blusket. When
unrolled the child was nearly suffoca-
cated and died in an hour. Th npio-h.

estate approximated at f 10,000,000 or
more, and with the exception of Sen
ator. Sharon, was the largest real es

years ago he made a will, leaving the
bulk of his estate to benevolent Instl-

A fourteen yearold adopted daugh
ter of Edward Crosby, of Brattleboro',
Vt., was brutally outraged by a tramp
about eloven o'clock this morning,
within a short dlstanco of her home.
A handkerchief was drawn tightly
over her moutn, suppressing her
screams. A reward of $500 is offered
for the arrest of the villain.
Dispatches from Texas show that
quite a number of railroad towns and
cities in that State are thoroughly
quarantined against New Orleans, and
that it is their determination to keep
yellow fever out of Texas if possible,

any passengers, freight, express mat

Tho Graphic Washington special
says the extraordinary and iinaccount-
able demand for the low interest bonds
still continues, and in the first three
days of this month more than $7.000,.
000 have been disposed of. The First
National Bank is the most active custo
mer, having subscribed for $1 1,500,000
since July 1. Wilhin the last two
months the Nationnl Bank circulation
has increased $2,432,000. Two-thirds
of this increase has been applied for by
banks west of the Allcghenies.
A daughter of Thadeus Frost,
twenty-seven years old. living with
her father at Belmont, Mass., poured
kerosene over herhead and clothes and
set fire to it. She had been affected by
insanity for some time and was closely
watched. Her brother had just visited
her room to see if she was safe, and had
only gone a short distance when he
saw smoke issuing from her chamber
window. He hastily went to the room,
but before aid could be given his sister
was so terribly burned that death soon
ensued.
Few have any adequate conception
of the magnitute of the emigrant
movement to the far West this season.
The St. Louis Journal is authority for
the statement, that Kansas, Nebraska,
Dakota aud Minnesota, the amount of
free land taken up, principally for
homesteads, exceeds that of the last
year by more than three and a half
million acres. The movement, though
not so great, is very noticeable in Mon
tana, Colorado, Wyoming and other
western States and territories, and in
Texas and Arkansas South. This is
one of the best Indications of return
ing prosperity that could be cited. The
benefits sure to follow the depletion of
the overcrowded ranks of labor in the
East cannot be estimated. The recent
decision of the Secretary of tho Inter
ior, whereby thousands of acres of
land along the lines of tho Pacific rail
roads are thrown open to pre-emption,
will do much to give new impetus to
this western movement.
From tho New Republic.
TVliat Is tho EilVct of Protecton upon
the Laboring Classen.
Mr. David A. Wells, the champion
of free trade, and the representative in
the United States of the Cobden Club
in England, in all his writings and
speeches makes It his careful study to
impress the laboring classes with the
idea that tho protective policy is pre
judicial to their interests; that it
cheapens labor, enhances the price of
goods, and lessens the purchasing
power of their wages. This is doii to
deceive tho wngemen.
Protection has In the past, and al
ways will in a country like ours, se
cure for the laborer a larger field for-
employment and better pay than can
possibly be obtained under a free-trade
system that brings our goods ready
mado from Europe and, to the same
extent, tends to close the avenues of
industry in our own couutry. When
business is lively, wage labor is in de
mand. Moro railways are being made,
more houses are erected iu the city and
country, more private and public im
provements aro in progress, and better
wages are paid than when factories and
workshops are closed, or running on
half time.
The present long-protracted period
of stagnation in all kinds of business
cannot and must not be charged to the
effects of a protective tariff, though the
Democratic party, for party purposes,
are prone to place It there. It grew
out of over-speculation and extrava-
grance. When a single banking house
undertakes to build a railway to span
the continent, and thousands of others
undertake equally wild though less
expensive speculations, it -is time to
look out for the periodical, commercial
and business break-down ; and when
our national legislators, through Dem
ocratic opposition to prejudicious and
necessary measures, protract the sess
ions of Congress by useless investiga
tions, unfounded charges of malad
ministration, corruption, defalcation
and dishonesty, and leave the legiti
mate and necessary business in an un
settled and uncertain condition as to
final action, the country must be pre
pared to suffer from prolonged uncer
tainty in the public mind, resulting
in continued depression and stagna
tion of business. These are the causes
of our present deplorable condition.
The protective policy is not only en
tirely innocent of this charge against
it, but it has saved thecountry through
years of rebellion and severe financial
trhtls, sustained and strengthened the
financial credit of the Government,
and increased the national wealth aud
prosperity at home and power and in
fluence abroad. It is the laborer's best
friend and the hope of hid family.
The Pennsylvania Bailrood Com
pany have tendered their old locomo
tive engineers, such as Andrew Pur
cell, James Westfall, Henry Casslday,
and a whole host, whose names wilt
suggest themselves to railroad men,and
the wives of the same, a grand excur
sion to New York, Cape May, a trip
up the Hudson, and return to Wat
kins' Glen, Niagara Falls, etc., and all
expenses to be paid by thecorporatlon.
It is designed to organize the expedi
tion about the middle of September,
and of course the treat will be a rare
one for the faithful employes who
have been true to the Interests of the
company through years. The old en
gineers will enjoy a week or two of re
creation, and it is a graceful act on the
part of the corporation to afford them
this opportunity to get off from their
orduous duties for a brief spell. AU
