SAMUEL BUTLER,
OF CHESTER COUNTY.
Important to Toters.
The next election in Pennsylvania
will he held in Pennsylvania on Tues
day, the 4th of November.
Voters must be assessed and regis
tered two months preceding the elec
tion, that is, on or before Thursday,
September 4.
Voters who have not paid a state or
county tax within two years next pre
ceding the election (except such as are
between the ages of twenty-one and
twenty-two years), must pay such tax
one month preceding the election,
that is, on or before Saturday, October
4.
Failure to pay the tax in season de
prives she voter of the privilege of
suffrage. If an elector has paid a
state or county tax within two years
next preceding the election, or if he be
between the ages of tweuty-one and
twenty-two years, he can secure hisl
Vote by making proper proofs to the
election board by his own affidavit
and that of a qualified voter of his
own precinct, though he be not regis
tered, but the neglect of registration
may cause him much trouble.

An Iowa law remits a certain per
centage on taxes for five years on every
acre of fruit and for ten years on every
acre of forest trees planted within the
State and kept olive. Under this
stimulus more than seventy-five thous
and acres of fruit and forest trees have
been planted, and there has been a re
mission of State and country takes to
the amount of about 1200,000.
Under a law which went in force
on the first day of last July Illinois
sheep are given rights which dogowners
must respect. The owners of dogs are
to pay into the county treasuries a dol
lar a year for each dog, and from the
fund thus created owners of sheep
killed by dogs are to be compensated.
If the dog-tax money shows a surplus
at the end of tho year the surplus goes
to the school fund.
Pittsburgh, August 25. Reports
from the suburbs of this city show that
considerable damage has been caused
by the excessive rain fall of the last
two days. The railroads centering
here from the west have suffered more
or less by land slides and washouts.
Houses were flooded, fences and out
buildings washed away and other
property destroyed. The principle
damage was experienced at Mill Vale,
where 30 houses were flooded, stables
and out houses carried away and
bridges and culverts destroyed. The
Evergreen narrow gauge railroad at
that place loses seven bridges and
several hundred feet of track. No loss
of life occurred, though several nar
row escapes from drowning are re
ported. Mr. John Means, a prominent
iron manufacturer in the Ironton, O.
region, says that General Ewing will
find little support among the workmen
there. "No man in all this ircn re
giou," he says, "need be idle. Work
men are sought on every hand, and
soon I expect we shall have hard work
to get enough men. The pay is a liv
ing pay now and will grow better. I
have been up in the Norihwcst; and
In Minnesota, for instance, the farm
ers are put to great straits to obtain
men to to work in the harvest fields at
from $2 to $3 a day. The crops ure
larger than were ever known, and
men to harvest them are so scarce they
can almost command their own prices
for labor, and $2 ia the minimum.
Andrew Tracy's Doom.
Philadelphia Times.
In the McKean county jail "Andy"
Tracy is awaiting the 9th of October
and the hangman's noose. His crime
was Jthe murder of his sweetheart,
Mary Reily, at that place. He killed
her in a fit of anger because she re
fused his company on a certain occa
sion. He was educated or the bar,
but one would take him now to be a
laboring man. He dislikes to talk of
the approaching execution and speaks
bitterly against the nowspapera in gen
eral, claiming that they have mis
judged and misused him, both during
and since his trial and since his In
carceration in jail. The "murder or
"doomed" are particularly obnox
ious to him, and he does not like to
hear them used or see them in the
heading of an article describing bis
case; He reads attentively all the
newspapers of the day, besides peri'
edicals which are given him by vari
ous people. His prison suit is a black
frock coat and pants, without vest.
The shirt hi coarse wollen with stripes
He has a room-mate, whose bunk is
directly over bis, who spends a good
deal of his time in making hair chains
and rings. Tracy says that he does
not consider himself guilty of murder,
"I acted upon impulse," be said the
other day. "I killed the girl, I admit,
but I was Influenced by an uucontroll
able power and could not help it." A
phrenologist has recently visited the
murder. His "bump" ofcombativeuess
or distinctiveness are hardly developed
at all, which would seem to give the
lie to phrenology. Tracy is awaiting
calmly the day of execution, and now
that the Board of Pardons has passed
adversely on ma case, He lias given up
all hope.
Letter From Colorado.
From our Washington Correspondent.
Leadville, August, 15.
The stream of humanity which of
late years' annually flows into this
Rocky Mountain State has been much
larger this year than ever before.
Thousands come here every summer as
pleasure tourlsta, and many come in
search of health, though the number
of these seem to diminish rather than
increase. . But this season the propor
tion of people who have come as pros
pective settlers seekers after hidden
wealth, attracted by the Leadville ex
citement has been greater than ever
before, and probably In excess of all
the other classes. Some of these have
been successful, if not In finding rich
silver mines, In at least securing good
business openings; yet how few are
they in comparison with the hundreds
of dlsapointed ones who have met not
alone disapointment, but misery and
destitution. Of the few who have
"struck it rich," as they say in the
mines here, we hear a great deal, as
the railroad companies and others,
whose object is gain, take special
pains to widely advertise them ; but
of the thousands who go back home
sadder and wiser men, and the hun
dreds who cannot get back, we hear
nothing. On all the lonely, barren
routes between here and Denver, and
other mining districts, one daily meets
poor, sorry-looking fellows, to whom a
square meal and return ticket home
would bring unliounded joy.
All this by way of introduction, and
in illustration of theconditlon of things
most sure to attract attention here
now. The Leadville excitement,
which developed to its fullest late last
year, started the influx very early this
season, and spring had hardly opened
when the rush began. That there
has been so many disappointments
among the eager fortune-huntrs Is not
because mining here is a humbug, for
there is silver here, plenty of it, and
the fortunate ones are rich. But the
uucetainty of prospecting is os great as
that of gambling or buying lottery
tickets. One man stumbles upon a
valuable claim almost without effort,
turning up the ore with his first spade
full of dirt, as it were, while ten others
dig and delve all about him in every
direction till their last dollar is gone,
only to find nothing but weariness and
heartsickness. It is folly for men
without means, or even those with
small means, to come here now. If
half those who have come within the
last six months could have known
what they now know, or have forseen
what their own experience would be,
they would never have left their
homes.
Leadville itself is one of the wonders
of the world. The stranger's first sen
sation, on arrival, is surprise at the
existence of such a city in such a place.
With the vivid consciousness before
him of the long, rugged road over the
range by which he has just come, he
is scarcely prepared to find, here
among the rocks and gulches, at an
elevation of 10,000 feet, a city of 20,000
inhabitants. And such a lively, bust
ling, busy place as it is! It every
where shows'the evidence of haste in
construction, and the eagerness of the
inhabitants to get a place to shelter
them while they engage in the more
important object of their stay. The
streets are rugged and uneven, build
ings crude and unfinished, and the
sidewalks built on a dozen different
levels. Gambling is carried on openly
right on the ground floors, and low
dance houses and variety theatres
flourish in untold numbers. The cli
mate is worse than bad. The nights
are cold and damp, and severe colds,
catarrh, ami a terrible rheumatism
prevails quite generally. One of the
most striking scenes in the vicinity is
the rude cemetery, a short distance
away. Its appearance is suggestive of
many a tragedy in real life. Of the
several hundreds buried there, scores
died among strangers, leaving nothing
behind by which their friends in the
East might be found or notified of
their fate. Persons with unsound
lungs, or with any tendency to heart
disease, should not come to Leadville.
The mining camp proper is in what
was once known as California Gulch,
where, some years ago gold was dis
covered. A great excitement followed
but the vein was soon exhausted and
abandoned. The very deposits of sil
ver now so eagerly sought were then
trod under foot, undiscovered. It was
only by accident, four years ago, that
the existence here or tliese ncn car
bonates first came to be known. One
day a man, who knew one stone from
another, picked up a bit of mineral
and handed it slyly and significantly
to his comrade, saying nothing. The
comrade, experienced in the ways of
mines, took it saying nothing, and
pocketed it. There were those work
ing by their sides to whom one word
might be a hint. Later, alone, the two
comrades conversed with each other
the subject of this bit of stone.
They took cautious and secret rambles
over the mountain side. They said
not one word to anybody for two
years, but quietly possessed them
selves largely of lands. To-day, in one
mine which these two men own, you
may see, it is said, six millions of dol
lars worth of silver; not infer it, trust
hope, believe it from the "dip," or
"bearing," or "vein," as is usually th
case in silver mines, but see it in the
walls of the quarries. The miners
simply chop the walls down, foot by
foot and wheel ore in barrows. And
the whole range is believed to be full
or tne precious metal, xt is tne wes
tern slope of the mountains lying
back of Fair Play, on whose eastern
slopes many profitable mines have
been worked for years. It is odd that
miners did not at once think that if
one side of a mountain were made of
silver, the other was likely to be. But
they did not; and so the Leadville
silver bided its time. Dom Pedro.
A Bloody Duel.
A Kansas City dispatch gives the
following particulars of a fatal duel in
Kansas on Friday night: About dusk
on Friday night a terrible tragedy was
enacted in Wyandotte county, Kan
sas, ten miles from Kansas city, result
ing in the deaths of 'James Dobbins
and Michael Burns, old farmers and
residents of tho county. There had
been a feud of ten years' standing be
tween the families, and on Friday
Dobbins and Burns met on the prem
ises of the latter and after passing a
few words began shooting at each
other. It was a deadly duel with the
wives and families of both as specta
tors. Dobbins opened (ire by sending
two balls into the side of the house,
when Burns pulled hi revolver and
the men advanced to within two feet
of each other before any more shoot
ing took placo. Dobbins then fired,
hitting Burns in the arm, and in re
turn received two bullets in th chest.
Neither man fell, and Dobbins shot
Burns through the abdomen, when
the latter fell, but raising himself shot
once more, the load entering Dobbins'
head behind the car. The men then
clinched, and in a death grapple beat
each other with clubbed revolvers.
The wife of Dobbins tried to assist her
husband, but he died while struggling
with Burns, who also died about day
light this morning. The section of
the country where the affray took
place is historical, being near the old
post road followed by Quantrell's
raiders after the sucking of Lawrence
during the early years of the war, and
has been the scene of many bloody encounters.
On Thursday morning last an ac
cident occurred in Black Hole valley,
four miles from Dcwart, on the farm
of Mr. Charles DuChambeau, which
proved fatal to Mr. Rock Garrow, a
well known Williamsporter. Mr.
Garrow moved his family to this farm
iu April last, having previously made
arrangements with Mr. DuChambeau
to farm it on shares. On Thursday
morning about eighj o'clock he went
to the barn yard to bring out a two
horse wagon with the purpose of hitch
ing the horses to and doing some haul
ing. He took hold of the tongue to
back the wagon out into the road ; the
hind part of the wagon ran down
quickly into a gully and a hub of one
of the front wheels struck the gate
post, which caused the tongue to
swing around suddenly and with great
force against Mr. Garrow, striking him
in the lower part of the abdomen and
hurling him violently to the ground.
He was picked up and taken to the
house, where he lingered in great pain
until Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at
which time death came to his relief.
His body was brought to the city on
Saturday evening last and taken to
the home of his brother-in-law, Cyrel
Guinard.
Deceased was thirty-six years old on
the second of last June, and had been
a resident f Williamsport about four
teen years. He was bom in St.
Rock, near Montreal, Canada, and re
ceived bis Christian name, as is com
mon in that country, from the name
f the place of birth. He leaves wife
and six children, the oldest of the
hildren being abuut fourteen years of
age, ana tne youngest turee years.
He was a verry rugged man, and, not
withstanding the serious nature of his
injuries he was able to talk up to
within a very little while previous to
.uving his final breath on earth, his
last words being : "Lay medown I'm
gone." Williamsport O. & B.
Shocking Accident.
The Tioga Express says: "Last Sat-
rday afternoon, at the house of Mr.
Frederick Hughes, in this township,
occurred one of the most heartrending
tragedies which it has been our duty to
record in many a day. It seems that
On the d:iy mentioned above several of
the large family went out fishing, re
inning during the afternoon. The
day was cool, and when the party re
turned, wet and thoroughly chilled, it
was proposed to build a fire, by which
they could dry themselves and get
warm. Accordingly, Freddy Hughes
r,, was sent to prepare some kindling
wood. Iu his course he came across
n old gun, rusty and dusty with age,
and picking it up, pointed the muzzle
toward his little brother Tommy, who
had followed him thither, adding at
the same time that he would shoot the
little fellow if he followed hiin any
further, whereupon he pulled the trig
ger, ana tne young laii's spirit was
sent to that "bourne from wliicn no
traveler returns." His brains literally
oozed out upon the floor. His mother
ran to the stairs and picked him up in
her arms, where he expired after a few
gasps. t reuuie was so trigntenea
upon discovering what he had done
that he ran to the barn and hid, not
being found until quite late in the
evening. He seems to tuny realize tne
terrible deed he has done through his
playful handling of the gun, and his
grief is intense. The gun had been
loaded a long time, and it is supposed
that the cap had become so covered
with rust that Freddie took it for
granted that there was no load in it,
and thought he would frighten
Tommy by snapping the hammer
down."
