Nai;huv Escape. Lust Friday
morning a little daughter of Mr.
John Baker and her mother made a
narrow escape from a fearful death.
The little girl went into tlie Jones
mill, in Clarion county, about two
miles from Corsica, and going too
close to a revolving shaft, her clothing
became involved and was wound up,
carrying her around with the shaft.
While in this position her mother
came in and tried to release her from
her perilous position, when her
clothing caught and she was drawn
up and carried around with great
velocity. Tlie jar in the running of
the machinery utt rut-ted the attention
of the miller, and on investigating the
cause he found the mother and child
as described aiid at once stopped the
machinery and released them. He
found the mother Injured but slightly,
but the little girl had one of her limbs
broken anil her head considerably
druised by coming in contact with u
hopper while revolving on a shaft.
Proper surgical assistance was sum
moned, and it is believed that both
will recover. Brook villcs litputli

A Boti.Kii Explosion'. Wo learn
from the Joint-town Jtcinvcrc.l the
facts of the fatal accident, which ari
as foliows: "Ashland Furnace, near
Chest Spring-", on Friday last was the
scene of a frightful boiler explosion
which resulted in the death of one
man. Messrs. James Peary & Sou's
shingle mill stands on the bank of
(ieurtield creek, in wiiich aro made
laths, shingles, and barrel staves.
About noon the boiler in the building
burst, destroying the structure Hid
killing John Allen, the engineer, in
stantly. The boiler was an old fash
ioned stationary cylinder ull'air, and
had been in use for u long time. The
engineer was w orking ut the tiro when
it went oil". The whole building, a
two story frame, was wrecked and fell
in a mass. Allen was instantly killed
and nio.st fearfully mangled. The top
of his head, one arm and one foot was
taken oil'. His body was taken out in
a very few minutes. Allen was a
single man and a resident of JChest
Springs. Two men were at work in
the mill and both were near the boiler
Neither was injured but their escape
was miraculous. One of the men was
reaching across a running saw and
was blown clear over it, lauding safely
on the other side. The building fell
all around him and there was not a
hole over two feet square for him to
craw 1 out. Immediately after the
wreck fell it caught fire from the fur
nace and there was every prospect of
an extensive conflagration. Fortu
nately a good supply of water was in
the creek near by and the fire was put
out. The cause of the explosion is not
known aud no investigation has yet
been made.

Xo Asiatic Cholera al Kric.
Washington, Aug. 21. The national
board of health received a dispulch
tliis evening from Erie, Pa., which
cfl'ecUially explodes the Asiatic chol
era sensation. The dispatch comes
from the health ollleer, who says
that the story was started through the
occurrence of two cases of cholera
morbus, the only ones that hnve been
reported, lie further says that ho is
familiar with Asiatic cholera from
years of observance of it at Vienna,
Austria, and the cases at Erie bear not
the slightest resemblance to it, and
the story to the effect that the latter
disease had appeared is entirely sensa
tional and malicious.
A Philadelphia eonv.- pondent of
tlie Xow York Sun writes to that
paper as follows: "The Democ
racy of Pennsylvania was never better
satisfied with its official leaders than
it in this day. Dill, Chairman of the
State Committee, Hopkins in charge
in Allegheny, and C'assiily in Phila
delphia, belong to no boss or 'action,
and are making a most inte!li",ent and
strenuous battle for the success of the
parly us a w hole. They till vigorously
urged the Harrishurg compromise,
which enabled us lo preen t a nnilc.l
front in tliis eamnaigii; and the wri
tei' hereof is able to s:i. if his knowl
edge that for that day's im'tdu.ib'e
work we are mo:v ind. bled to Lewis

Hartford f'm,-iu' "We can
nullity if we cannot prevent the
frauds hy which 1 lant'in.-k will receive
Hie electoral vote of Alabama, We
can give t he clcclora! vote of Connecti
cut to Garfield. We can give him
that of New Jersey and New York. If
the free, honest voters of tin; North
lake the reuse of the situation there
is no doubt that every Northern Stale
will repudiate this attempt to laniure
.he Government by plain fraud.
Granting that Hancock is an honor
able gentleman, Hancock drops out of
sight in this contest. The fate of the
Republic itself is involved in resisting
the spread and coiisuiiiinatioii of the
Alabama method."
A Charleston correspondent of the
New York Tunis telegraphs as foliows
to that paper: "The announcement
that the so-onllcd General H. G.
Worlhingtoj, who falsely claims to be
a Southern Republican, had avowed
his intention to support Hancock, has
afforded South Carolina Republicans
much amusement at tlie expense of
the Bourbon clement, which soeins
utterly disgusted with this new addi
tion to tlie motley forces of the North
ern Democracy. 'This beats all 1
have ever seen or heard,' said a well
known capitalist among a group of
Broad-street brokers and politicians
to-day. '1 suppose Frank Mo-cs will
be the next convert. What the d 1
are w e coming to, gentlemen? When
such cattle come into our party it is
time for us to get out.' Several other
gentlemen gave vent to their feelings
of disgust, and one fearlessly asserted
that if he lived in tlieNorlh his self
respect would not allow him to be a
Democrat. Harry G. Worthington
was, as the Dcniocra'ic journals trium
phantly assert, Collector of the Port
of Charleston to the infinite regret
of his bondsmen, who were recently
brought before tlie United States
Court to sa'isfy. the Government's
claims against tlie ex-Collector. He
came to South Carolina in 1872, and,
according to the reports of Senator
Cochran's Investigating Committee,
bore a prominent part in nearly all
the rascally transactions committed
during tlie Moses Administration."

Ia'Ii.'Oioii Courier,
The Reading Democrats sent to a
large (lag manufacturing establishment
in New York and bought a very hand
some flag, wiiich "they Hung to the
bree.e" with considerable eclat, but
alter it liad been up for a few days it
was discovered that it was not tlie
National flag, but that it bore only
seven stars, representing the seven
Slates that rebelled against tlie Union.
It may be imagined that there was
chagrin about the lime this discovery
was made. The explanation of the
annoying mistake is that (he flag was
one manufactured for the Democrats
in some Southern Stale, and through
carelessness was sent to the Demo
crats in old Berks, who would will
inly join their Southern brethern,
sympathizing with the great struggle
that was made to vindicate their
principles of State severeignty by see-cc.'-sio'i,
but they do not care, jus-t now
lo have that sympathy so conspicuous.
Hero is another" sample of Demo
cratic, bulldozing in. Indiana. The j
following notice posted (Ids -eck on
the residence of Hon. O. C. Terry of
Mo'"' Vernon, ex-Mayor of the city,
explains the state of utiairs in Posey
county: - "I'pir and timely warning
Stranue negroes and tramps are
hereby notified to leave this vicinity
or sillier the consequences. We mean
business. Take notice, aud govern
yourselves accordingly. Vigilance
Committee."
K. '. Hnialley w rite to the New
York Tribune from Vermont that the
campaign In that niic).;it, 1 Jepiiljlieiin
Stale is lively. The Democrats
(hough a small party, are demonstra
tive, and tlicy are being met wilh
i ijually aggressive proceedings by the
Republicans. It is predicted that
Vermont will give 23,0oO majority for
Farnh.tm (Republican) for Governor
and about the same for GarficH in ,
November.
I udinapolis .hntrw!: "It seems
that Senator McDonald 'revised' his
Ml. Vernon speech a la Wade Hamp
ton. A correspondent points out
som. revisions made. One was the
ulhi-ioii ( Senator I torn-as ''be hy po
ll iticai old senator,' and another to
I he late Senator (.'handler as 'a lying
old scoundrel who stole (he Presi
dency.' This is the way Democrats
who call theniseh cs decent talk when
Ibey get out among the unwashed."
Ea-ton IVcc l'iT: "Mr. M.itchler
Commander-in-chief of the Demo
cratic forces of Northampton county,
had better choke o-l' some of hisorutois
if he has any regard for Hancock's
interests. They lmu'e the Hancock
meeting in South Easton last night us
strong a Garfield curd as we could
wish. They showed to the protection
ists of South Easton that a vole for
Hancock is a vote for free trade.
That will do foi one night."
Providence Joiirn'th "If the
Democratic party should be successful,
its Southern element would rule now,
as it always has, and rightly, because
it is superior in nil tlie qualities that
create leadership to the Northern ele
ment. General Hancock would not
resist their domination and if he
should attempt it ho would be eom
X el led by tlie force of the parly ma
chinery to yield. Southern sentiment
would rule in the Administration of
General Hancock as it did in those of
Pierce and Buchanan.''
Harisburg Telegraph: "John A.
Lemon, the Republican candidate for
Auditor General, will go to Philadel
phia with the largest vote any candi
date for the same office ever carried
across tlie bunks of the Schuylkill
River. He is making a quiet and yet
very aggressive canvass, impressing
every eiti.eii favorably by his personal
appearance, and winning friends
wherever he tarries. When candi
dates are made of sucli personal ma
terial, parties have little trouble in
making them, splendid auxiliaries in
tlie struggle for principle."
Indiana Democrats take to the
methods of their Mississippi brethern.
Mr. Barker, who was elected to the
last Legislature by the Democrats,
has become a Republican, and lias
exposed tlie corrupt plans of the De
mocracy, The other night lie was
followed by these men into his father's
house and whipped. One of tlie party
grabbed the shot-gun and was only
prevented from tising it by n lady, but
the rough said, G d jou, there are
lots of Democrats In this county wait
ing to get a bead on you."
