When committed in the morning on charge of threatening to do bodily.hanu totlie family of Samuel Zerfoss, in Ilummelstown, Benning had a belt or strap around his waist. This he used to accomplish his end. The strap was fastened to tho grnted cell door and then to his neck, when he threw himself back and succeeded in strangling. He had been dead over an hour when found. The impression is that he was Insane when put in his cell a few hours previous. He talked incoherently. Nothing was found on his person to indicate where he was from. A verdict of suicide was ren dered. A Baby Found. Yesterday the authorities in this city received a telegram from the rail road officials at Williamsport to the ef fect that a two-weeks' old baby had been found by Brakeman Halfpenny in a square basket on a coach that had been attached to the Erie Mail eas Monday night at this station. -The coach iu question came up from below and left in charge of Mr. George Waitz. This gentleman immediately took possession of the coach and locked the doors and windows. No other person entered the car until it was at tached to the Erie Mall, as the gentle man referred to, just before train time had entered it, lighted the lamps an turned every seat in the car and noth ing of the kind was noticed. It supposed if the baby was placed in th car at this station, it was after th train men had possession of it. Th baby was taken in charge by William sport authorities and awaits the faith less mother's return, bhame on sue a human being that could do such deed! Lock Haven Journal, Aug. 16 Serious Railroad Accident. LADY AND HER DAUGHTER RUN OVER BY A FREIGHT TRAIN ON HEP BURN STREET LAST EVENING. Williamsport G. & B. Last evening about half past seven 'clock Mrs. Hettie Millhouse (wife of Mr. Peter Millhouee) and daughter Minnie, about nine years old, were caught by a freight train on Hepburn street between Lycoming and Edwin, while they were in the act of ciwslng the street. The right leg of Mrs, Millhouse was badly broken between the ankle and the knee, and the daughter's collar bone was fractured. The probability is that Mr9. Mill- house's leg will have to be amputated. When Mrs- Millhouso and daughter started to cross the street the train was not moving, and had been standing there several minutes. A brakeman had gone down to Fourth street with his lantern, to flag the crossing, and upon his arrival there the train com menced to back down, which was about the time Mrs. Millhouse and her daughter were in front of the end car. Both or them were knocked down nnd dragged several rods before tho train could be stopped. The mother was released, but some difficulty was experienced in freeing the daughter from tho track, her clothing having been caught by the wheels. Fortun ately for her the train stopped in good time, as, when released, one of her feet was lying on the rail between two of the wheels of the truck. The un fortunates were carried to their home, number 128 William street, and soon thereafter Drs. Campbell and Nutt arrived and reduced the fracture. Mrs. Millhouse displayed remarkable nerve under the circumstances, as she un doubtedly was in great agony, judging from the nature of her injuries. She asked the doctor if her leg would have to be amputated, and when informed by them that the would try to save it, it, she seemed very much relieved. an empty treasury and no office-holders to assess, by virtue of its princi ples, overcame a political organization which had long been entrenched in power and enriched by the spoils of office. It Is a confession that it Is not bent on a great public good, and can not commend Itself to the unpurchas able voters of the ' Commonwealth, when the chief reliance of the party for success against an adversary that lacks this pecuniary aid, Is upon a cor ruption fund derived from extorted asseaements. General Beaver actually admitted in a recent speech that he would mortgage his farm for $10,0(10 if he could but get out of the Gub ernatorial candidacy. He must have said this In a moment of despondency. He must have forgotten that he made exhaustive efforts in three successive conventions to secure what was finally conferred upon him through the grace and favor of Senator Cameron. Twice before he went to the Harrisburg Con vention, and like the servant in the parable who was sen t to gather the fruit of the vineyard from the hus bandman, he was caught, and beaten, and sent away empty. General Beaver under took to disclaim Mr. Cameron's instrumentality in his nomination by reducing his stature. Ho told the peo ple of Bristol that Cameron was a small man, but for fear of misaprehen sion he explained next day that Cam eron was a small man physically. This was a serious mistake. Instead of being a small Cameron, he Is physi cally largo enough to bestride the Commonwealth like a Colossus, while General Beaver and his other depen dents peer around under his legs to get a generous smile of recognition. In my judgment lie is smaller in intellect than in stature. Selected out of four millions of people to represent them In the Senate ho has twoqualillcalions, age and citizenship. "Walt Whitman is robust, virile, aud tlropplnj; the tools In the hole the but not obscene. In the poetry he at- well commenced to gas strongly, and tempts to carry out certain ideas of when a few turns of the screw had his own, Ideas that may not be con sonant with accepted notions of moralty, but which with him are con victions. He believes that the human form lu all its parts and functions should be made a commonplace theme in social Intercourse, and one or two of his poems are exponents of this be lief. "Leaves of Grass'' should be read In the same spirit asDat in which it was written, and not as an encourage ment to Immorality. I give Whitman credit for attempting to formulate thoughts which are to him earnest convictions. His doubtful passages differ from those In Shakespeare and other classical poets, in that the latter are expressions of the current notions of the day, while Whitman's are ex ponents of his own ideas, and are at variance with present conceptions of morality. I should not, however, for my own use, want one line in his book expurgated. But If I want my daughter to read it I would expurgate many passages. Now, you can un derstaud my reason for deeming itun wise to suppress the work. J t is a book which can only circulate where the contents will be digested by mature minds, and where its capabili ties for iiuuul injury are null." in Hot A Terrible Death. A BOARD HUKI.KD TWENTY FEET AN DRIVEN THROUGH A MAN'S BODY Coroner Shindler returned from Williamstown to day, says the Harri burcr Telearanh of Thursday, where he held an inquest on the body of Hen ry Messersmith, killed on Tuesday Messersmith was employed lu the saw mill of the Summit Branch mines, and was engaged In sawing timber. A log had been run through the saw, and at the end, Instead of the sawed board falling to the side away from the saw, It was caught by the saw teeth and a portion of it hurled with terrifl lc force through the mill, striking Mes. sersmiet, who was twenty feet away The huge splinter, about six feet long, eight inches wide and an inch thick, struck Messersmith In the right side and passed through his body, oue end protruding from the body on the left Bide. So tightly was the board wedged in that it took two men to draw It out. Messersmith lived but a short time. He was aged twenty-six and leaves a wife. The verdict was one of "accidental death.'' Letter From Trout Run. THE ARREST OF A WILLI AMSPORTER FOR SHOOTING AT A YOUNO LADY, AND WHAT CAME OF IT A QUEER CASE. Williamsport G. 4 B. Trout Run, Aug. 21. On Friday evening, the 18th instant, our town was thrown into considerable excite ment over the arrest of C. T. McClarin, of your city, charged with shooting at a young lady, Miss Mullen. It ap pears that Mr. McClarin, while driv ing from Pensdale, stopped a little distance above Trout Ruu aud fired three or four shots from his revolver into au old slab fence, having no reason to think that there was any body within danger bounds, aud never thinking that there could be a living person lu so wild aud isolated a looking place, nor did he know any different until reading the warrant charged with shooting at the uboved named lady. Mr. McClarin. when asked what he had to say, said it was a very plain case of blackmailing, and spot ted the very individual who was the instigator of the whole affair. Mr McClarin, with his honest face, good judgment aud oratorical abilities, at though almost an entire stranger, sue ceeded in establishing the fuct and convincing all who were present that it was nothing but a contemptibl scheme of a certain citizen. Mr. Mc Clarin made a very favorable impres slon on all, esjeciully on Miss Million aud says she is a lady in every ueuse of the word, and that she displayed an unusual amount of good common sense, besides having a very social chat with her. Nor does he blame Mr. Mulleu. By the occurrence Mr McClarin has made scores of friends while on the othar baud tho noted de tective (of whose abilities Pinkerton should be informed at once) who bad not a surplus of friends, has now still Less. SnlliTan Knock Wilson -Out. A LIVELY PUGILISTIC ENCOUNTER IN WHICH THE LATTER IS HANDLED WITHOUT GLOVES. Philadelphia Proms. Sullivan and Wilson met by chance at Fifth and Vine streets, and if there was any question before as to the sup erior ability of the former in a pugilis tic encounter all doubts have now been fully dispelled. It was not an exhibition with gloves for any specific purse but genuine set-to, and the ad mirable manner in which Sullivan handled his opponent reflects credit on that gentleman. It, was an accidental meeting, and the sporting fraternity was not represented. Some words passed between the men, but just what was said is not known, and Wilson attempted to resent what he considered an insult by delivering a sledge-hammer blow at his opponent, which the latter parried in a scientific manner. The combatants then clinched, and before Wilson got a chance to play the "drop game'' he recieved considerable punishment. There was no one to call time, but Wilson quickly arose, and, with an expression of anger on his face, made a savage lunge at Sulli van, which weut wide of the mark. Again the contestants clinched, and a ard struggle for supremacy ensued, n which Sullivan again came off vic torious, Wilson being sent to dust" (there was no grass except that which giew in the gutters). Round third was of short duration, Wilson being knocked out. Before the contest could be renewed a Fourth District policeman appeard on the scene, and the vanquished Wilson was taken before Magistrate Martin. The pris oner gave the name of George Wilson, and was recognized as the man who was arrested recently for acting in a suspicious manner around a number of houses at Fifth and Spruce streets, but was discharged because of a lack of evidence to show he was thief. The evidence offered yesterday was that he had been caugbt in the act of steal ing a lot of clothing beloning to Mark A. Johnson, a boarder at the house of Emma Harp, northeast comer of Fifth and Vine sreets. John Sullivan (not the Boston pugilist) happened to be passing at the time, who caught hold of tho thief with the result stated The prisoner was held lu fSOO bail The Same Old Story. A facetious newspaper man hits the spike on the head when he philosophi zes thusly: "A good many people think that newspaper work Is just as easy as tailing down on ice or finding a girl's lips in the dark. We used to think so ourself, but that was when we were a bigger fool than we are now. We knew a young man ouceout west, who for two years longed for a place on a newspaper as reporter, and at last he got it. The first two days he was re quired to report a horse race, a temper ance meeting and a lire seven miles out of town. After he had done all this, the managing editor told him he might write a Washington letter, giving a summary of the political situation at the National capital, and then he could go out and get some points on the pork market for the next day's paper. He wanted to know how in the dread future he could write a Wash ington letter at a point 714 miles from the national capital, aud when he had never been there in his life- The man aging editor coolly replied that "if he couldn't write a letter from any point in the known world on fifteen minutes notice, he'd better quit the newspaper business before he disgraced it." lie resigned that same evening, and went back to his old counting-house stool, and his old time, independent, ten- dollars a week air, and never asked to be a journalist again. Some meu seem to be born to do newspaper work, aud they will do it if they have to live on cold hash and button their coat up to their chin while their only shirt is in the wash. And they will be just as happy, too, as the son-in-law of a monopolist with a bad cough. They would never be contented in any other calling, even if it paid them $10,000 a year and firewood. All others should keep out of the journalistic hold." What Shall We Drink Weather? The thirsty season of the year has ar rived and the summer drink is iu de mand. The refreshing gurgle of the soda fountain is ps invigorating to the thirsty soul as the bee of the desert telling of water near. What will you have, ginger ale, root beer, birch beer, a new and most delicious compound, nectar, mead, plaiu soda, ice cream soda, adirink that combines one ice cream and one soda in a moonlight sonata of perfect harmony, spruce beer, plain lemonade, lemonade with berries and sliced pineapple, lime jucice, and all the different sodas coffees, soda, raspberry, strawberry, lemon, pineap ple, ginger and other flavorings? Then there arc iced mineral waters, cordials and tonics without number, and and old-fashioned drink which is getting scarce, buttermilk. Iced tea and coll'ee, iced milk aud koumiss or milk champagne are all summer's cool ing beverages, and cheap but popular fizz known as pop, 150 cases of which were consumed on the fair grounds in this city last week. There are a num ber of cooling harvest drinks which are made in the farmhouse home; brewed hop beer, ginger beer, dande lion coll'ee and a boiled compound of water, molasses aud ginger, when cold, is a very grateful drink. No intoxicat ing liquors should be indulged iu dur ing hot mouths. They are made In the most seductive manner under such fascinating names that they invite in vestigutiou and with so much fruit sugar ami mini that the modicum of liquor seems lost, but to many a one they are dangerous attractions. "There is death In the pot." The already healed blood receives more fuel, the appetite craves more refreshing aud u weariness aud lassitude of spirit suc ceeds to the slight iDtoxication of sherry cobbler or mint julep. It is estimated that of all artificial drinks the numerous root beers aud ginger ale beverages are the least hurt ful and the most refreshing. Ice water taken copiously produces headache and congestion which are laid to other causes. Iced milk is very indigestible. Blackberry cordial, giuger cordial aud raspberry vinegar are pleasant and sate summerdriuks. Detroit PoUund Tribune. "i WALT. WHITMAN'S WORK. From the Philadelphia Press. July loth, 1882.

The Mahoopany well, No. 2, In the southeast corner of lot 590, continued drilling on the plugs last Tuesday, and made her first flow at 11 o'clock, and flowed steadily the balance of the day, If not a gusher she will be a good well instead of a "dry hole" as predicted by many been given the well began to flow at a terrl flic rate. Three lead lines carried the oil from the hole Into a 1200 barrel taDk and at the end of tho first hour the gauge showed that the well had made 75 barrels. The drill Is less than one foot in tne producing saint, uui will be put deeper as soon as the well quiets down." lira. Frank Palmer, on sub-divisiou 24, Jot C30. opened his well on Saturday last.

Her produc tion Is rated at 300 barrels, At the Mystery, on the southeast corner of lot 500, they hnve been drill ing on the six plugs all day and it is now reported to be flowing steadily The first flow of any consequence was at noon to-day and lasted about five minutes. Tuesday's Herald Cor, Bussel AEckhart opened their well Tuesday on division 14, lot BW, and she Is showing for a good well. Rix & Stevenson, division 13, lot 630, opened up Tuesday, Caldwell & Co., on 630, opened up Sunday, good for 800 barrels The Briody & Barnsdale well, on sub-division 24, lot 658, tapped the sand Saturday morning, and the wel) commenced to flow. The drillers were unaware of their close proximity to the sand and very carelessly kept on drilling until the sand was struck. No preparations had been completed for the reception of the gusher, conse quently the oil made its way down the small creek for several hours before the tanks could be completed. The company claim that they lost fully 500 barrels of of oil by not having everthlng in readiness." Jira. Akin fe Boden's three wells on lot Oli) made H40 barrels on Saturday. Tho same wells made by Monday's gauge 480 barrels. Book, Kerr & Arters' well No. 2, on the east portion of lot 057, struck sand Tuesday and is flowing fully as large as their No. I. It made J.Vlu barrels the first twenty-four hours. The Siggins well, on sub-division 33, lot 658, was opened Tuesday aud is flowing at the rate of 100 barrels an hour. "L. C. Stanford on division 32, lot 672, drilled on top of sand today. In its present condition the showing is as good as any in the field. Being south west of developenients it is of some Importance. Goldsborough and other wells farther north have not the thick ness of sand of the wells north of the hit ter audit was presumed the sand run out at the south end. This lot will be of much importance to determine the the thickness of the rock at the Stan ford well." lira (The above well was drilled deeper Wednesday. The flows incresed on the last bit.) J.

Merchants' Hotel this evening to au audience of 800 persons, including a number of prominent manufacturers and business men of the place, who are Indepedent sympathisers. Intro duced by George Houck, proprietor of an extensive Iron foundry, Senator Stewart proceeded straight to bis task by stating succinctly the platform aud purposes of the Independent wing of the Republican party. While the stalwart element sought control of the party for personal aggrandizemeut, the Independent position, he asserted, was a matter of faith and principle. The May Convention in Philadelphia wanted a united party and there would have been unity were it not for thot-t In control, Tho last two planks In the platform of the Harrisburg Conveu tion the sneaker pronouueed a fraud and a delusion. General Beaver, lu accepting the nomination, before the Convention, said that the platform set forth principles which met with his entire approval, which were not only correct iu themselves, but absoutely necessary to good government, aud that their enforcement would be re quired by the people. "Now," said the speaker, "he is making bis cam paign on the very assessments which were then denounced. My first vote was cast for Abraham Lincoln at a time when the Republican party, with gard to the Philadelphia publisher's request that he would review tne book Mr. Morrow said": "The mem bers of this society are my friends, aud its work is my work, but in this par ticular instance I thiuk they have made a mistake. I deprecate the at tempt to suppress the circulation of a book of this character, and fear that it will not have the good effect intended. In Europe where Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" is looked upou as one of the highest types of the American classic, the endeavor to suppress the book is regarded with astonishment. As au exponen t of a peculiar form of thought, it is entitled to a place iu American literature, and as such its publication should be unobstructed." I have no wish at the present time to become identified with either side in the tight which is now going on over Mr. Whitman's work, as it would probably interfere with certain movements with which I am myself connected. gust 23, to the Era, says: The Ma hoopany well on lot o'JU stopped drill ing when three feet in the sand.
