An cnort is maz matie
We last week, called attention to
our county Court House and Jail,
and some improvements needed there
in for tic better security, not only of
the buildings themselves, but of their
valuable content!?, and we now add a
few fu grstions of a fimilar charac
ter in rcpard to the Toor House.
This building is a handsome one, a
credit to the county, is well kept ni a .
cleanly and comfortable wanner, auu
iu linaucial affair judiciously admin
istered. It is located on a farm, m;v
rral niile from this lai-c, here no im
mediate outride assistance could be
rendered if fjeedi!y required, Clled
with insne,decrcp!t, aged and partial
Ir helpleMpcople.and wc arc told is not
only uninsured, but has not a single
provision tnadc against Ere, to tLc
danger of which it is mere liable than
any other building in the county.
To warm this structure, numerous
stove are located in different apart
ments, which must necessarily be un
der charge of the occupants of these
dormitories, and Clled as they are
with aged, helpless and often vicious
persons, it is almost miraculous that,
notwithstanding the vigilance and care
of the steward in charge, a fire has
not occurred in this building. No
night watchman is employed, the va
rious stoves must be nightly in
spected by the Etc ward before rotir
ing.andtbe means of renewing the fires
taken away, snd what suffering may
occur during the night, particularly
in the insane department, none can
tell.
A few hundred dollars will pro
vide a heater for this house, that will
thoroughly warm every room and
hall. It could be located in the base
nicnt immediately under the eye and
control of the steward, would not on
ly insure the warmth and comfort of
all the inmates, and render it com
paratively secure, but in its economy
of fuel would pay for itself in three or
four years. It is a shame to us as a
christian people, that even a suspi-
cion of suffering from cold, should at-:
tach to the misfortunes of the desti
tute and unfortunate who have be
come a public chartre, and provision
should be speedily made against the
happening of such an event.
The surplus fund in the Trcaxury
is more than doubly sufficient to pro-j
vide for all the improvement and !
by the
rittsburghers to have the Western
Penitentiary removed from the city
of Allegheny. They want the ground
it occupies, for Turk purposes.

The Pomcroy Investigating Com
mittee has commenced work vigor
ously. The Senate has enlarged the
scope of the investigation to include
chrrpes, old and new, against Sena
tor Pomeroy. The Ross letter has
been reviewed, and though only
twelve days remain of the session a
month's work is before the Commit

f York's cbanre of bribery has been
nl.t9if.ed. None of the allies of
York in the scheme to decoy and ex

that Fomeroy gave 1 ork the money,
and the charge stands on his unsup
ported oath. The Committee will
have to summon most of the Kansas
Legislature, according to present ap
pearances. judge Poland's report.
The report of the Credit Mobilier
Investigating Committee, of which
Judge Poland is the chairman, has
been promptly made. It is one of
the best public papers of the kiud

its conclusion is only equaled by the
fairness of the reasoning from the
facts elicited. Considering the de
nunciation of all connected, however
remotely, with the construction com

the calmness and close adherence to
facts and legal conclusions arc admir
able features of the report. Quiet
people who feared the r-suit of popu
lar clamor breathe more freely now
that the work of this initial effort is
so well concluded. The verdict
against Messrs. R ooks and Ames,
will be generally approved by the
country. They alone knew the full
extent and bearing of their acts in
connection with the companies, both
of them Wing managers of the Pacific

appointed at the suggestion of Speaker
Blaine by Hon. C. C. Cox, a Cading
Democratic partisan of New York,
the result is something of which the
Republican party ought to be proud.
It has gone through the ordeal which
was wished and prayed for during the
Presidential compaign by all its lead
ing opponents, vix : to have a majority
of Democrats on a committee to in
vestigate Republican corruption. It
has come out of the fire unscathed.
A unanimous report has found a
Democrat a Republican operator
alike guilty, and aside from these no
bribery has been proved.
OPPOSITION TO REFl'NDINU THE
COTTON TAX.
Mr. Beck of Kentucky made an
elaborate speech a day or two since
against refunding the cotton tax. In
the course of his argument he was
oblige to admit that the national con
stitution was clearly arrainst a tax
upon exports and that at least G6 per
cent of the cotton tax was suffered
unjustly and unlawfully upon exported
cotton. He believed the producers
ought to be refunded this tax, but no
bill presented for the purpose suited
him, and hence he opposed bills pre
sented for doing that at part of which,
at least, he admitted to be justly and
lawfully due to those who had paid
this tax. II the opponents of refund
ing make as wholesale admissions of
its rightfulness there will scarcely be
a question of the ultimate success of
the measure in some form.
LOUSIANA INVESTIGATION.
It is thought that the Louisiana
Investigating Committee will report
that there is no local State govern
mcnt in that State and that conse
quently no U. S. Senator has been
lawfully elected. A new lection will
probably be required to Iks held under
strict legal requirements for Governor,
Legislators and all other 6tate officers.
This might be a remedy for the evils
of ignorance and arbitrary individual
leadership, provided warmoth and
others who arc found guilty of fraud
and irregularities are locked up, and
prevented from holding any commu
nication with the managers of either
party.
REQl'IRINfl THE PACIFIC ROADS TO
PAT INTEREST.
As a result of the credit mobilier
investigation it is not doubted that the
original ruling of Secretary Bout-
well will be Kloptcd by Congress in
regard to the payment of interest on
the bonds of the Pacific Railroads.
The House Appropriation Committee
has just agreed to the Senate amend
ment substantially as it came from
the Senate. What will be the effect
of this proposed action upon the road
remains to be Been, but even if the
S. interest in the roads should be
temporarily prejudiced, it cannot end
in anything worse than bankruptcy
on the part of the Companies and the
taking of the road off their hands by
the general Government. Many
thinking persons Itelicve that the
Government ought to run this and
some other roads in the interest of
the people, and that it could be done
with greater economy than by any
private corporation.

member of the House from Florida,
has been recently comfirmcd as Col
lector of the Port of Key West lie
is about to leave Washington, where
he has a host of warm friends, for bis
post of duty. Key West is quite an
important sea port city of 8,000 in

as an American citizen can go with

delightful and bealthly, though warm.
It is conceded that no better selection
could have been made by the Presi

cannot fail to commend him to all
with whom ho may come into official

A Trala Wrecked.
Yesterday morning a few minutes
before one o'clock, a serious accident
occurred on the Pennsylvania Rail
road, at Morgan's Corner, about fif
teen miles this side of Philadelphia
The express train which left that city
at eleven forty, while running at its
usual sbeed, broke a coupling be
tween the forward cars and the sleep
ing car. The jerk on the bell rope
rang the bell.and the engineer stopped
the train, when the detached portion
ran upon the forward with a fearful
crash, almost wrecking the entire
train. Two men named James S.
Floyd and John Hamlet, when the train
first broke, ran out on the platform
to see what was wrong, and they
were either thrown off by the collision
or jumped off when they saw the dan
ger. Mr. Floyd was precipitated to
the ground with such force that he
was instantly killed. Mr. nam
ilton had both legs so badly crushed
that they bad to be amputated. 1

but died during the day. The form

Philadelphia. He held the position
of transfer agent on the road, an

twenty or thirty passengers who re
mained in the cars were more or less
injured, but none of them, it is said
seriously. Among these was M
G. B. Dunham, a merchant of Chiea-
po, who had one of his toes cut off.
The injuries of the others consiste
chiefly of bruises and scratches
caused by the shock and flying splin
ters. As the train was running at
the rate of thirty miles an hour it is
remarkable that o few persons were
injured. General Sheridan, Genera

St. Petersburg Pa., February
21. 1873. At half past six this even
ing a fire broke out in a beer saloon,
kept by one Frederick Hepp, situated
on the south side of Main street and
just to the west of the business center
of this town. A strong ureeze was
blowing from the westward, aud the
adjacent buildings on that side were
soon enveloped in flames, and those
on the north side of the street caught
a very few moments later. An alarm
was sounded by the steam whistles,
and tho newly organized hook and
ladder company promptly responded
to it Owing to the unfinished con
dition of the water works, they could
do but little, and the fire rapidly ad
vanced to the eastward, taking the
buildings on both sides of the street.
No water could be obtained until
the fire reached the residence of Dr.
France, where the flames were finally
subdued. Chalfant, Graff A Co",
Hoffman Si Co., and Brown & Rein
sustained great damage in the removal
of goods. J. M. Guffey, representing
Gibbs, Sterrett & Co., had his goods
removed without damage. The

The fire is under control, having
reached Chalfant, Graff & Co.'s hard

north side. The principal buildings
burned are the Opera House ; Adams
House ; C. A. Kibbe's clothing

TLe buildings on all sides of Call

ground, but the store was left un
harmed. Every effort was made by
the hook and ladder company to
quench the fire but to no avail, as the j
wind was in a favorable direction forj
the spread of it. When it reached a
dwelling house on the south side of
the street a house forty feet from
the hardware store of Chalfant, Graff
Si Co., the firemen got a chance to
work to advantage, and the wind dy
ing away, the fire was soon under 1

At Aewport, this afternoon, Albert
II. Es3ci was cramincd on the charge
of incest. After the testimony of the
wife and two daughters of the pris
oner, government counsel said there
was no ense, and hsscx was dis
charged. . itic court-house was
crowded by an excited populace, and
ior an Dour ivssex, could not be re
moved. At last he was got into a
hack and, amid showers of stones,
was driven rapidly to the next town
wnere ne toos the cars, t ivc men
followed him into the cars. Essex
jumped trom the train when it was
under headway, the men pulled the
bell-rope, stopped the train and pave
chase, but the fugitive is supposed to
have escaped violence. It is under
stood that Essex, though perhaps
guilty of brutality id his family, had
given no cause for the infamous charge
made against him.
