The Investiga tion Is on its last legs, so far as exami nation of witnesses Is oonoerned. There Is no telling, however, what may turn up unexpectedly, even at the last moment. There were eome Im portant disclosures to-day which sor prised even Wolfe, so well bad the members approached kept their own counsel. Maclay, who brought out something fresh about Petroff and Salter, and Miller, who gave Kimble about the worst blow he received, have positively resisted all opportunities to Indicate the tenor of their testimony in advance. Both are sensitive as well as honorable men, and do not care to be mixed up In the matter, even in the best of characters, if it were possible to keep out of It. Four members have now made more or less direct charges of corrupt solicitation against Kemble, but the committee has so far declined to give Kemble's own testimony to the public, or rather the House has de clined to allow a member of the com mitted to move that the whole testi mony shall be printed and the official repoet of Kemble's is not to be allowed to go out by itself. Rumberger is fas tened down by the testimony of Sil verthorn, whose honesty is vouched for by Wolf, Short, Underwood and others. Petroff, of Philadelphia, is implicated by Watson, of Mercer, and Maclay of Mifflin, while detective Franks makes a minor charge against him of rowdy ism in connection with the matter under investigation. George F. Smith, Philadelphia, is -confronted by charges of solicitation made by Knitle, of Co lumbia and Luzerne. E. H. Clark, of Philadelphia, rests under alike charge, made by Foster, of Lehigh, and Slier wood, of York, is arraigned by his col league, Bowman. Ex-Representative Salter is accused by many witnesses of being Kemble's ''go-between," and several smaller fish have not been able to pass through the net Altogether, twenty-four Representatives say they were corruptly approached in one way or another to secure their support of the riot bill, and nineteen have stated under oath they were offered money, directly or indirectly. Two thousand dollars was the highest and three hun dred the lowest price of votes, accord ing to the reports ol these members. This is an outline in brief of the results of the investigation to date, but there are many details within every reader's memory that will go farther to show that it was very well that it was undertaken, and that Wolfe's labor of love has not gone for nothing. -The denth of William Lloyd Gar rison, the veteran abolitionist, occurred in New York last Saturday evening about 11 o'clock. ,He had been ill for some time, and his death was not un expected. He was 74 years old on the 12th day of December. He was born at Newburynort, and served an ap prenticeship to a shoemaker, and then engaged in the newspaper business. In 1829 he became editor" of the Na tional Philanthropist, a temperance paper of Boston. Soon after he began the agitation, for the emancipation of the slaves Iu this country. He was bold and aggressive, aud soon eurned a national reputation. For his utterances on this subject he was imprisoned on a nominal charge of libel, but Arthur Tappan, the New York merchant paid his fine and he was released. In 1831 he lcgan the publication of the Liberator, which he continued for thirty-four years. The story of the persecutions which he endured for the right is too well known to require rep etition. Pennsylvania has long furnished all the contiguous States with building timber, and has exported a vast amount to foreign countries. When ever some colossal structure is to be erected in any part of the country, the forests of the northweastern section of the State are under contribution for the beams and girders. There is hardly an important public building or bridge in the East, or possibly in the West, that does riot contain Penn sylvania timber. Recently the forests of Northern Michigan have been drawn upon for long beams, but until within the last ten years the only tree available for this purpose had to be floated down the west branch of the Susquehanna. The tremendous drain on the forests, near to the rafting streams, of Pennsylvania has robbed them of all their tall trees, and the lumbermen must now go further up the creeks and into the more inacces sible nooks in order to find the stately pines which used to cover the whole region with their sturdy growth. The Philadelphia Press, accordingly, calls for measures to prevent the wanton destruction of the forests of the State A writer in the British Medical Journal, in a communication to the editor In regard to the possible cause of the recent outbreak of an epidemic of sore throat at Darmstadt, says : It is well known that women and chil dren are in the habit of kissing pet cats and dogs, especially when these favorites are ill with discharge from the nose, cough, and sore throat, and even use their pocket handkerchiefs to wipe away the secretion. I have seen this done frequently. As such mis. taken sympathy is exceedingly dan. gerous, I think a notice in the Journal to this effect would, tend to its dis couragement. It is a common saying that, "There I the cat has got a cold ; now it will go through the house; and, as this remark has been repeat, edly verified, it shows bow careful people should be to avoid contact with such a mode of contagion. I do not affirm that this was the way in which the disease was contracted, either within or without the palace walla, but I feel sure the habit of kissing pets is a source of dancer that should be widely known and prevented."
