A Kailroad Strike. A strike by the
employees on the Erie Railroad took place
last week which continued until ilouuay
last. The strikers concentrated at Susque
hanna Depot, in this State, and look pos
session of the entire road, engines, build
ings aud property generally, and stopped
nil business. The Sheriff of the county
being powerless to suppress the conspiracy,
railed upon the Government for troops,
and in response to whose call nearly a
thousand left Philadelphia for Susquehanna
Depot on Suuday last. It is stated that
the cause or the strike was on account of
the company not paying their employees.
The strikers, who numbered about one
thousand, were determined to force pay
ment. A dispatch dated on Monday,
states that the strikers have accepted the
terms last offered to them by the company,
and are now being paid off in regular
squads. Everything is quiet and uo ap
prehensions arc entertained of any further
disturbance. General Osborne has tele
graphed to the Governor that the matter
is arranged ac J that all me irainswiu w
if trwttifill this afternoon. The strike iy
nw 1 regarded Jn'y vr,
l.Ume is attached to both tlu, rail
road company and the strikers for the po
rtion of affairs. They rhould have kept
prompt payment and the men should
not have interfered with public travel and
Lis prompt movement to maintain the.
p-jace and uphold the laws.
Orit neighbor of the Gazette last week
complained of the Ring Calculator invad
ing his office clandestinely and tampciing
with official documents of the county.
This should convince our neighbor that
bome statements we made several years
ago in regard to the "Ring," and which
were contradicted by him, contained more
truth lhaji poetry. c presume that last
fall, when our neighbor endorsed the views
of hie correspondent in relation to the elec
tion of a Democratic Commissioner, there
by aidiug the election of this same official.
In- did not think that he wi u'd so toco
have to notice an invasion of his private
sanctum by this official. The Calculator,
no doubt, was encouraged by our neigh
bor's endorsement, aud 6Ujpsed the mat
ter would be hushed up if his httlt transac
tions were discovered. Our neighbor, if
he will continue to give aid and comfort to
the Ring party, will find that still worse
deeds than the one referred to hare been
committed by them and will yet conic to
light. And just as long as the Democracy
of this county continue to place in office
any of the Ring party or their friends, just
so long may we expect some queer trans
actions in our county financial affairs.
Jt'KY Refokm. A bill for the better
and more impartial selection of jurors has
passed the Senate. The first section pro
vides that where it appears that any irreg
ularity iu the selection of jurors exists the

-"f nersons
to be made of such members as the court
$hll designate, their names to be deposit
ed in the wheel for that purpose for the
remainder of the current year. The jury
commissioners, president judge, or addi
tional law judge, or a majority of them,
are thereupon to meet at the county seat
at least thirty days before the court at
which such jurors shall be summoned to
serve, IT so many d;s shall intervene, Hinl
take out of the wheel the names therein
deposited, and make a new selection of
persons and deposit their names iu such
wheel for ib". remainder of the current
year in the manner now required by law.
Hereafter a list coutaining the name, ccu
pation and residcuce of every person placed
in the jury wheel shall be kept, certified
by the judge and jury commissioners, and
filed in the office of the prolhouotary. In
the future persons whose duty it is to se

written oath, which shall also be tiled in
the prothonotary's office. Aud whenever
the array of jurors shall be quashed it shall

immediately certify the record thereof to
the court of common pleas. The act is in
tended to cure, existing difficulties and to
provide for future contingencies.
Tnr bill imposing a tax of four cents
per ton on anthracite coal, came up ou
second reading in the IIoue on Thursday
morning, whereupon Mr. Myer. chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee, offered
as a substitute a bill imposing a tax of five
mills upon the franchises of all incorpora
ted coal companies as measured by the
value of their corporate property. The
change in the bi!l was because the tax on
c al as originally proposed by the old one
would fall more heavily on the laboring
men and individual operators than upon
the corporations which it was especially
designed to reach, and the substitute re
moves these objections as it taxes corpora
tions only.
Mr. Rutan has introduced a bill iu the
Slate Senate to amend the new Constitu

pleted all the preliminary arrangements
for locating and building a railroad along
the river, from the mouth of Sinnem.ihon

engineers under Colonol Jarrett will Iks
placeed on the route within a month. We
understand that the heirs or owners of the
Karthaus estate are slso taking great in
terest in this project, and will lend mate
rial aid in the Luilding of this line of road.
The Farragut prize money, over which
there has been so much controversy, will

In the appropriation bills already re
protod in Congress there iias been a reduc
tion of 212,000,000, and it is calculated
that those yet to be reported will bring the
reduction up to ? 23, 000, 000. That is a
aubatautial "reform" that the people can
understand and appreciate.
It Is announced that IVnjamiu Hay

A HLOODY Fight. The altcrnmin ex-
dress on the Valley Kal Satur.l.iv w:h
the scene of a bloody tight near Brady's
Rend. A large number of raftsmen got
on the train at Pittsburg. Their rounb
aud disorderly appearance and drunken
manners soon drove all save their own
clique from the car, and even the conduc
tor and brakemcn were inclined to let them
severally alone. Having whifky among
them, the raftsmen grew more and more
quarrelsome, and seemed beut on some
mischief. Two of their number at last
came to blows over a trade, w hich they
had made, and the smallest of the two, not
being a favorite, was pitched upon by the
whole druukeu crew. The fight was gen
eral for a time, aud at last the smaller
raftsman drew back into a comer of the
ear, the hctter 10 protect nimseii. 1 ue
drunken rabble made a rush for him, when
he drew a dirk-knife, aud ordered them
back or he would hurt them. Not iniud-
ing this threat, one fellow rushed forward.
The man was in earnest, however, and as
the fellow ueared him the dirk fell, inflict
ing a fearful gash and felliug the raftsman
to the floor. Too drunk to know their
peril, the rabble rushed on and the fight
became terrible. The little mnn used his
dirk with learlut eiiect, ami not until a
large number (some reports put it at ten)
hid been struck with the weapon, did the
tight cease. At Parker's the wounded
men were imt off and placed under the
doctor's care. The man who did the carv
iug came on to Oil City, where he look the

Caise Unknown. The Wilkesbarre
llo-wdffthe C.rirso: Wednesday l:.s gives
the lollowirg account of the mysterious
suicide wf i minister : "The little village
of Xauticjke was thrown into a considera
ble slateof excitement yesterday forenoon
when it was learned that Rev. J. H. Pad
dock, minister of the Methodist Episcopal
ChU'ch, had committed suicide. Groups
of curious persons aud sympathizing friends
dUcuised the said affair pro and con. and
various were the surmises as to the ical
cause. Mr. Paddock preached a sermon
Suuday and appeared iu his usual health,
both bodily and mentally. An hour be
fore his death he took his last drive with
his wife, aud ou his arrival home delilK-r-
ately shot himscit with a revolver, causing
instant death.
"Pink Eve'' is the name of the- new
complaint wlich is prevailing among the
horses in ew York city, that being the
color of the eyes of the diseased animals.
Tne symptoms are atwa s the same. The
horses at first refuse to eat. They S"on
become svollen about the eyes, which weep
and disclarge a yellowish matter copious
ly, the ejes in some instances becoming
entirely closed and inflamed to an alarming
size. These indications are accompanied
by swelling of the fore and hind legs, as
well as other mrtions of the body. In a
majority of cases the swelling has appeared
only in the legs. Soon after being seized
with this complaint the animals exhibit
signs of stupor, worrying the head aloft and
-oviug great weakness. Attei nudical
treatment for n Q ,wo tl)e ay)Vtllii

The duration of the complaint is from three
days to a week. Few cases prove fatal.
The treatment adopted by the New York
veterinary surgeons is to put them on a
simple diet of long bay and a fidder of
brim. They are then given homeopathic

Arrival of Livinostone's Remains
at Suez. IiOX don, March 2'J. The
steamer Maliva arrived at Suez at eleven
o'clock ou Saturday night. Arthur Idling
and Jacob Wainwright were on board iu
charge of the bod)' of Dr. Livingstone.
The following account is given of Liv
ingstone's fatal illness aud death : He had
been ill of chronic dysentery for several
months. He was well supplied with stores
aud medicines, but he had a presentiment
that the attack would prove fatal. At first
he was able to ride on a donkey, but soon
had to be carried. Arriving at Minlala,
byond Lake IV rube, in the Risa country,
he said : Huild me a hut to die in." A
but was built by his followers. The 1st ol
May he was confined to his bed. and alier
w.ird suffered greatly, groaning night and
day.
The third day he said he was very cold,
and requested that more glass lye put over
the hut. His followers could not sjieak
to or go near him. Ketuiubo, the ehiet
of Rica, sent flour and beans, and behaved
well toward the party. The fourth day be
was insensible, aud died about midnight.
Mak Adehoova, a servant, was present.
Dr. Livingstone made his last entry in his
diary on April '21.
lie spoke much and sadly of Lis hoaie
and family. When he was first take:, si k
he said he intended to exchange everything
for money to nivc them, and push on to
Ujiji. Zanzibar, aud try to reach England.
The day which he died his fol
lowers consulted what to do. The
N tssick boys determined to pre-ci ve th
body. They were afraid to tell the chief
of the doctor's death, and had the !.mI' re
moved secretly to auother but, and built a
high fence around it to insure priay.
They then removed the internal organs,
placed them in a tiu box, aud buried them
inside the fence under a large tree. Jacob
n ainwriglit cut an inscription on the im-
thus : "Dr. Livingstone, d!el May 4.
173,'" aud subscribed it with the name of
the head man, Sus.i. The bod)' was pre
served iu salt and dried -in the sun for
twelve days.
Chief Ketumbo, ou being informed of
Livingstone's death, had the drums beat
and guus fired as a token of risjiec t. an I
allowed his followers to remove the body,
which they placed in a bark coffin and
commenced the journey to Unyanyembe,
which took six months, sending in advance
a party with information f a'l that bad
occurred, addressed to Dr. Livingstone's
son.
The advance party was met by Mr.
Cameron, who sent back baies of cloth and
powder. The body arrived at I'nyanyem
be ten days after the advance parly, ami
resied there two weeks. Messrs. Cameron.
Murphy and Dillon also arrived together ;
the latter very ill, his sight gone and mind
affected. He afterward committed suicide
at Kurakara, aud was buried there.
At I'uyauyembe Livingstone's remain,
were placed in another bark case, tin
smaller one done up to represent a bale of
goods so as to deceive the natives, who
objected to the passage of the corpse, and
was thus carried to Zanzibar.
Dr. Livingstone's clothing, pnpers and
instruments accompanied the lwdy. When
sick in bed he prayed much st Minlala, and
said "I am going home." Chumah remains
at Zanzibar. Mr. Webb, American con
sul at Zanzibar, rereived letters through
Murphy from Livingstone to Stanley, and
will deliver them personally.

When broken Mr. Kline noticed something
mixed in the white which he thought he

when he noticed it move, and closer exam

could b plainly sceu. So singular a freak
of nature was worth particular notice, and
so he placed the egg and snake in a ejass

examined by a great nfimber of persons,
all of whom expressed their astonishment.
The snake was about two inehrs long and

The above shows a fearful increase of
casualties in these districts in 1173. The
appointing of Mine Inspectors in these dis
tricts does not seem to be effective in check-
in" casualties in the mines, for the num
ber of accidents are evidently on the in
crease instead of decrease since their ai
pointnient. Heretofore many accidents
were attributed to irregular working of the
collieries in the years previous to 1872,
when the casualties were diminished to
some extent, and even in the Shamokin
I tered on their duties the vigilrrce ot the
1 operators ceased. We cannot account for
i this great increase in accidents in these

Just at this time a series of meetings are
being held in all thc churches and most of
the halls, the object being to create, a senti

aud to so unite the people opposed to it so
that a raid will have some effect. The

DIO LEWIS
is here with his Western laurels fresh upon
him, aud the ranks are closing for a big
movement. In
I1ROOKLYN
the women have takeu the field with some
prospect of success. One shiewd saloon
nmu took advantage of the excitement to
post bills all over the city, in the name of
the Women's Committee, statin; that a
prayer-meeting would be held at his saloon
t given evening. Of course his saloou was
.rowded from early in the evening till after
J o'clock. Then, as no women came, it
crept through the wool of the thirsty crowd
present, that thc saloon man bad made a
rather nice thing by attracting them to his
den. The unscrupulous fellow made sever
al hundred dollars by his shrewd dodge.
THE WOMEN
of Urooklyn did, however, organize, and
are now on the war path. Last Monday
they formed praying bands and visited vari-
ml8 SHi0nns, in which they

in Brooklyn as
well as in the West, for Brooklyn is a city
of residences, and a very religious city.
Hut they met with but little success. The
saloon keepers were obdurate, and no re
sults followed. Thy propose to keep it up,
however, till they have crushed out the
evil in Brooklyn at least.
A NE'V HORSE DISEASE.
A new disease has broken out among the
horses in thc city, which, if not cheecksd.
will create as much trouble as the epizootic
of two years ago. It is a complaint entire
ly different from any that has yet appear
ed. Some horse doctors drchre that the
disease is of a mild type, ruus its course in
a very few days, never kills, that the horse
docs not suffer at all ; that it merely feels
dull, languid, under thc weather, rather
sleepy, rather dispirited, like a ward politi
cian "between election." Other doctors
insist that the horse suffers intensely with
an achine pain alternating with colic
spasms, and that it has proved in many
instances fatal. One horse doctor insists
that the disease is a form of lung fever.
Another is certain that it is a case of ca
tarrhal fever. This latter opiuion is ra
pidly gaining ground, and finds many ad
vocates among the owners of the horses
affeeted, who are having their animals
treated for this complaint.
In all the large etables the disease, what
ever it is, has ruu through all the horses
In the stables 517 Washington street, i
personal case has occurred. A horse was
attacked twice by the disorder withiu two
weeks. The first time he was sick six days.
The second time thc attack lasted half that
period. The horso seemed to suffer as if
affected with the quinsy sore throat. He
refused food, avoided water, but did not
;o8e flesh. In every case but this the ani
mal became thin, but in this instance the
horse was. after the second attack, even
fleshier than at first. His joints, however,
twaamt stiff; he was unable to move, as if
he had rheumatism. He did not seem to
suffer any, but was as inanimate as a log.
The horse the day or night before is per
fectly well ; when the next feeding-time
comes he will not eat ; he will not drink ;
his loins contract and the disorder is in full
force, till at least ceases as suddenly and
as causelessly as it appeared. One fact
has verified by experience ; the disorder
only attacks horses below S or 0 years are
unaffected by it ; and females less suscep
tible to it than males. The disease is
spreading rapily and so far no remedies
have been found for it.
THE CHARITIES.
A number of the professional philanthro
pists of the city enraged at James Gordon
Bennett, because he preferred to disburse
his money himself, instead of putting it in
their hands, attacked him roughly, and
Beunet in turn, has subjected them to a
microscopic examination. (uite a number
of interesting facts have been developed.
For instance, there are seventy charities
in the city goverencd aud managed by
"boards," "agents," &c. These charities
disburse 81,700,000, and thc cost of carry-
ing them on foots up SIKJ.O'X)! Now, here
jg Wnere Bennett gets them. Of the
j seventy, eight arc Catholic, and thc eight
disburse over half of the entire amount, at
a dost of $23,000 1 To make thc compari-
! sou more sharp and distinct he gives this
instance : The House of liefuge, a Pro
testant charity, collected and disbursed
01.000, at a cost of 533,233, while a Ca
tholic Protectory, the same kind of a cha
rity, expended $305,000 at a cost of 10,
374 ! And Bennett pertinently asks
Where does the money go to ? What do
the demure individuals in black gloves who
collect it do with it ? And no one, as yet,
has answered his question. The fact is
there is a small army of professional philan
thropists who live, move, and have their
being by the collection and disbursing of
money for charities. Of every dollar con
tributed so many cents stick to their fingers
in some way. Air. Bennett is doing the
cnantabie a K., wort by his timely ex
posure. THE CHINESE IN NEW YORK.
Saving the cities on the Pacific Coast,
New York has more Chinese, resident,
thau any city in what may be called the
civilized world. They arc huddled toge
ther in the most squalid part of the city,
and though they live wretchedly, they
manage to save something every day, and
many of them are absolutely accumulating
property. The emigrants are to a large
extent men, but they all marry after they
have been here a time. It is a singular
fact that Chineso men find their wives
among the Irish. The Irish women of the
lower grades have no objection to marry
ing the pig tailed Oriental, and they all
testify to the fact that they make good.
kind husbands. The progeny of these
Mongol-Celto marriages are larger than the
Chinese, quite as nimble, lithe and active.
and very much stronger. But it is a curi
ous mix, isn't it.
FASHION.
Easter commemorates the resurrection
of the meek and lowly Jesus. How do his
followers in (iotham prepare for it ? Read
and get an idea of New York religion.
"Madame ,s opening of Easter hats
has called out the beau nvmd. The ele
gant drawing room was crowded. Ainon
the nobby hats our attention was called to
pretty ecru chip, embellished with French
flowers and pure ostrich tips, also, exqui
sitely cut garniture. A lovely chapeau
composed of tjros de sue:, in a soft, gray
tint, reminds one of Quaker simplicity, and
yet there is no lack of grace about this uat
ty Easter hat. Among the recherche East
er black silk and camel's hair cloth ap
pear to take the lead in promenade Spring
suits. Overskirts are not so extensively
worn as formerly. The neat little posti
lion jacke quite a favorite with the b-m
tons."
Isn't this a descent from the sublime to
the ridiculous ? A "natty Easter Hat !'r
indeed. But speaking of
HATS AND THINGS,
it costs something to be a fashionable wo
man in New York. The simplest bonnet,
without flowers or feathers, costs 20, and
one as cheap as any woniau of pretension
would wear costs 3?."0. Then a Spanish
Mautilla to suit that bonnet costs $3o0, the
roses ou it being 4 each extra ! And these
two articles, bear in mind, only commence
the dress. Some of your lady readers are
doubtless able to take the cost of these two
items, and from thc figures see what thc
entire outfit from hat to shoes would cost.
I can't do it. But this I know : If I ever
marry a woman of position in New York
I shall examine the recources of her papa
before the ceremony is pronounced. I
shall insist that the old gentleman settles
ou her at least $20,000 per annum. This
sum will take an ordinary belle through.
unless she is very ugly, in which case more
will bo required. But think of a young;
merchant sadding himself with so expen
sive a luxury as a fashionable wife ! What
certain rum it is for him, if he happens to
be in love with her ' Is it any wonder that
so many young men live at the clubs, and
keep rooms of their own,rathcr than marry?
I think not. Pietro.
