THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1879.
The extra session of the XLVI
congress commenced on Tuesday last.
Hod. Samuel J. Randall was re-elected
speaker for the third time.
Mr. James E. Kelley, business
manager of the late international
Walking match at Gilmore's Garden,
states that the amount received at the
box office was $51,600 ; rent of bar, $2,
625.25 1 shooting gallery, weighing
privileges, blowing machines, etc..
TflOO. Total, $54,525.25. The expenses
he Baid would be paid as fast as possi
ble and none of the men would receive
their share until these expenses were
paid.
At Pittsburgh, Stephen Grant, a
young man, had bis foot Injured by a
piece of iron falling upon it in a roll
ing mill Where he worked. Not much
notice Was taken of it, but a few even
ings afterward, as he was sitting in the
house playing a violin, he suddenly
remarked that he felt his jaws closing,
and asked his mother to get a poker
and place it in his mouth in order to
keep them open. His mother was
about to put her finger in his moulh
to open it when the young man pre
vented her, and in an hour expired.
Gov. Williams of Indiana escorted
two ladies to the Indianapolis Opera
House to see "Romeo and Juliet."
He had not provided himself with
reserved seats, and none were left for
sale; so he appropriated three good
ones, in spite of an usher's remon
strances. The holder of the coupons
Boon arrived, and the routed Governor
next placed his party comfortably In a
box. But the box had been sold, too,
and the owner insisted on his rightF.
Then "Blue Jeans" left the theater,
declaring that he was disgusted with
these new-fangled notions about re
serving seats.

The official score for the great
walking match at New York when it
closed, was: Rowell 500 miles, 180
yards; Ennis 475 miles; Harriman
450 miles, three laps and 140 yards.
The men were off the track during the
six days as follows: Rowell, 38h.
43m. 50s ; Ennis36h. 21m. 33s: Harri
man 38h. lm. 21s. At the beginning
Of the match it was decided that $1,-
000 should be set apart out of the re
ceipts for the man or men who failed
to cover 450 miles. O'Leary who
broke down early in the contest, will
thus receive $1,000. Rowell gets 50
per cent, of the receipts, Ennis 30 and
Harriman 20.
Williamsport, March 13. City
Treasurer Longsdorf yesterday re
ceived an order from Judge Elwell, of
Columbia county, before whom the
now famous bond case is being abju
dicated, directing him to apply the
sum of 8,000 towards the payment of
overdue interest on bonds known as
series A, instead of the entire amount
now in the treasurer's hands, which
amounts to $15,900. Judge Elwell's
jecent mandamus ordered the treasurer
to apply the whole amount on this
payment which would have com
pletely blocked the wheels of our
municipal machinery. The balance
of the money is to be used in meeting
accrued and current expenses.
Tbe contradictory testimony of
experts as to the existence of poison in
tho bodies of dead persons has puzzled
mauy a jury. Now comes Prof. Selmi
of Bologna, with the discovery that,
in the decaying bodies of persons who
have died a natural death, he finds a
substance so closely resembling well
known poisons as to be readily mis
taken for them. In his explanation
he shows how similar these animal al
kalies are to the vegetable poisons used
by criminals. His tests to distinguish
between them are hardly less valuable
than the discovery itself; and if all
that Prof. Selmi pretends to have
found be true, a change in the manner
of conducting a certain class of crimi
nal trials may follow.
The deepest mine in the world
now worked is said to be the Adalbert
lead and silver mine in Austria, which
is 3,280 feet deep. The next is the
Vlviers coal mine In Belgium, 2,847
feet. It was sunk to the depth of 3,586
feet, but, no coal having been found,
the working is at the former level.
The deepest coal mines in England
are the Dunkirk colliery in Lancashire
2,824 feet, and the Rosebridge in the
same locality, 2,458. The deepest
mine in this country is the Yellow
Jacket of the Comstock Lode. It is
now 2,500 feet below the surface at the
mouth of the main shaft, and 2,933
feet below the Gould & Curry crop
pings. The Savage stands second on
the list, and the Imperial the third,
both being nearly as deep as the
Yellow Jacket.
The most terrible calamity of
modern times is tbe inundation of the
town of Szegedin, Hungary, by the
river Theiss which flows through the
town. The horrors of the situation
are said to have baffled all description,
the town being almost entirely under
water. Over 80,000 people are out of
bouse and homo, while hundreds if
not thousands have perished. Money
and provisions have been scut to the
survivors from all the neighboring
places. The Emperor Francis Joseph
will forego his intended visit to Pesth
to receive congratulations on the oc
casions of his silver wedding- He
desires that the money intended for the
festivities- on that occasion shall be
distributed among the sufferers by the
flood. The emperor and empress also
give 40,000 florins from their private
purse,
i JUI
The Cnrtln-Toenm Contest.
- From the WIllliuriFpon O. A B.J
Mr. Andrew G. Curtln and his fug
lemen have been laboring with the in
dustry of beavers all winter to make
out a case against Yocum, In the great
contest for a seat in the XLVI con
gress, and everything that would re
dound to the interest of the contestant
has been made public from time to
time, for the purpose of polslonlng the
publio mind. Mr. Yocum and his
friends have labored under onine diffi
culty in getting the facts, as proved in
the contest, properly before the public,
because Curtln bought out the Centre
Herald and turned it into the Centre
Democrat, to be run in his own inter
est. All the other papers In tho county,
with the exception of the Bellefonte
Republican, are Democratic, and the
editor of that paper, it is alleged, has
been purchased for a consideration by
the friends of Curtln to maintain en
tire silence as to the merits of tbe con
test. This leaves Mr. Yocum without
an organ in his own county, and ex
plains why we hear so little about the
contest on his side. That the "public
may be kept advised of what Is going
on, the Gazette and Bulletin has
taken some pains to ascertain the
status of the contest, which it submits
as follows :
The forty days allowed Curtln under
the act of congress expired on Febru
ary 17th. In Centre county about
1,000 pages of testimony were taken;
in Clearfield 800; Clinton 600; Union
200; Mifflin 100; Elk 800. Curtln
kept two commissioners taking testi
mony in Centre and Clearfield nearly
all the time, and in Centre sometimes
he had three. Those of his counsel
who had charge of the management
of the finances, say that it cost him
during these forty days an average of
$150 per day. During these forty days
Curtin had seventeen lawyers actively
engaged, besides a number of advisory
counsel and ao additional law judge
going from county to county superin
tending the work. Seven notaries
public were employed and seven clerks.
An average of six persons in each of
the six counties canvassed the various
voting districts in search of fraudulent
voters and irregular election boards.
They were assisted by two detectives ;
one of these con fined his investigations
to Centre county ; the other, Captain
Clark, " worked" Clearfield county.
Besides these, there were a number of
persons in each county serving sub
poenas. Each commissioner had a
sergeant-at-arms, a cashier, a " coach
er,'1 or preliminary examiner of wit
nesses, and two or more counsel. With
such machinery did Curtin during his
forty days struggle to overcome Mr.
Yocum's majority of 73, and take his
seat in congress to represent a district
that two years ago gave Mackey (Dem
ocrat) a majority of 5,100.
What has he shown? His own
counsel have conceded that they have
clearly proved only 72 illegal votes
polled for Yocum. They allege, how
ever, that they have successfully at
tacked two election districts, viz: Bon
ner township, In Centre county, that
gave Yocum 13 of a majority; and
Woodward township, In Clearfield
county, that gave Yocum 01 of a ma
jority. All the testimony In reference
to these districts has been submitted to
the highest authority at the federal
capital, and that authority lias decided
that the poll of these two districts can
not be thrown out. However, to guard
against all possibility, Mr. Yocum is
calling eacli individual voter, who
voted for him in these two districts, to
prove his qualifications and for whom
he voted, which will set all question as
to regularity at rest. In the former
district, Benner township, Curtin al
leged that the poll should be thrown
out, because the election board was not
sworn, and for the additional reason
that some thirteen fraudulent ballots
bearing Yocum's name had been put
into the ballot box after the polls had
closed on the evening of the election.
A breeze was stirred up, a few days
ago, when two members of the election
board of this township both Demo
crats came on the witness stand and
produced all the ballots east at the
election, and also, the 13 fradulent bal
lots placed in the box after the polls
closed ; both these Democratic election
officers, whose names are James P.
Roan, clerk, and William Searsou,
inspector, swore that the 13 fraudulent
ballots were Curtin tickets, aud not one
of them bore Yocum's name; and
further, that there was not a man in
the election room that evening who was
not a Curtin Democrat !
Mr. Yocum's counsel have been
taking testimony for the lost week and
have already proved within 12 as many
individual illegal votes as Curtin has
proved during his 40 days. Mr. Yo
cum is confident of doubling his re
turned majority, by proof of individ
ual frauduleut votes for Curtin.
The contestant, by his counsel and
assistant, has resorted to many things
very unprofessional and unmanly, and
to say the least discreditable to tbe
"great war governor" and ex-minister
to Russia, Among them are these:
Curtin's organ, the Centre Democrat,
in an editorial advised all Democrats
who were subptenaed by Mr. Yocum,
not to obey tbe subpoena, unless they
received their mileage and a day's pay
in advance, the law being the same as
applicable to witnesses in our state
courts. Curtin's agents have hunted
up Democratic witnesses subpoenaed
by Yocum, and advised them not to
answer any questions that would in
jure the contestant, and particularly
not to tell on the witness stand for
whom they voted, when interrogated
on that point. The erowulng act of
infamy on their part was to instruct
all Democratic witnesses to demand
full pay before testifying, for" the pur
pose, as they stated, that Yocum could
not in that case afford to call many
witnesses. This order, it is alleged,
Was given to Curtin's counsel in each
county by no less-a person than a
Democrat holding the office of law
judgo, who, Mr. Curtin has advertised
in the public prints see Oath's Tetter
in the Pres of Monday last ns tho
counsel who is making up his case.
That the great "war governor"
should resort to such subterfuges to
gain a seat in congress, after the people
have stamped their seal of condemna
tion upon him, Is humiliating, indeed,
and can only be accounted for upon
the ground that since he turned his
back on the friends that once loved,
honored and respected him, and Joined
the Democrat party, and now affiliates
with those Who used to curse him for
his Republicanism, he has become not
only reckless, but lost to all sense of
shame and gratitude, and is ready to
grovel in the dust and knock at the
back door of the Democrat party
for office. His desire for place is
more forcibly Illustrated, perhaps,
by the remark of a prominent Dem
ocrat of Bellefonte to the writer
, of this paragraph before he was nomi
nated for congress; "Why" said the
Democrat in reply to an Interrogatory
regarding Curtin, "if the door of
heaven and the door of congress were
placed side by side, both thrown open
and St. Peter were to give him his
choice which he would enter, he would
dart into the latter instantlyl''
