A Prlsoaer Commit!) Suicide.
Charles Bennlng, a German tramp,
committed suicide in the Dauphin
county lail. 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."

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.

WALT. WHITMAN'S WORK.
From the Philadelphia Press.
July loth, 1882.
Simultaneously with the announce
ment of the reappearance on Thurs
day July 20th, of Walt Whitman's
"Leaves of Grass" from the presses of
Rees Welsh & Co., book publishers of
this city, comes the statement that the
Philadelphia Society for the Suppres
sion of Vice and Immorality are re-
pariug to anticipate the issue of the
much maligned book by an endeavor
to have it placed under the category of
obscene literature, thus to prevent
its circulation through the mails.

Another Week of Work iu the Garfield
District.
Warren Ledger,
The "wildcat" on the Cooper tract is
a "duster" aud no mistake. Garfield
is and is to be the oil field tor some
time to come. The way the situatiou
now stands, comments are unnecessary,
and we will confine your readers more
fully to the following report of wells
BIG AND FAIR.
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. The well has produced 800 bar
rels for the past forty-eight hours. She
also lies a trifle east of tho heavy oil
belt,
J. A. Garland opened his his well
on SUti-dlVISlon li, 101 , r riuuy
afternoon at 8 o'clock. 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.

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. Qartland shot his well on O.O Wed
nesday, and her production is about
000 barrels.
Russell & Urnuhart opened up their

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.

The evidence leading to his conviction
was entirely circumstantial, but con
elusive. He was ably defended in the
trial last June, but the jury, after an
absence of only a few iniuutes, returned
a verdict of guilty. Kllbrts were made
to induce the Governor to commute
the sentence, but without avail. Par
ker grew sullen in his demeanor during
his iuinrisonment. and declined to
talk about the crime. When the work
of constructing the gallows was betin
