Senator Sherman positively de

The Democrats of Fayette county, J

Orders from post masters for sev

one day of last week, being the larg

one day.
Philadelphia dethroned her
"Borises" and enthroned her "Re
formers," and never before was a
more lusty howl of misgovernment
beard, than daily ascends from the
press of that city.
A railroad percussion cap was
accidentally exploded on a street in
Boston hut week, without doing any
damage, and the sensational news
makers at once proclaimed that it
was a death dealing bomb.
Pennsylvania "Reformers" dis
carded a gallant maimed soldier, and
elected a Knight of the goose quill,
Governor. They now appreciate the
condition of the frogs in the fable,
that reformed their government, by
electing King Stork.
McDamel's, the Democratic can
didate for Governor of Georgia, was
a Confederate soldier, and was badly
wounded at Gettysburg, which facts
will aid his election. In Pennsylva
nia we "Reform" tliat sentiment by
defeating crippled Union soldiers.
Labor troubles are fomenting in
many different quarters, and it looks
as if the working men will again be
guilty of the folly of inaugurating
strikes, which, owing to the condi
tion of trade, will probably be pro
tracted ones, and cause much suffer
ing and misery.
Again the Census Bureau has run
out of funds and is discharging a
number of its clerks. There is some
thing wrong about the management
of this concern. Three years of time
and an enormous 6um of money
have been expended, and yet we are
without any results.
Ex-Senator McDonald, of Indi
ana, now seems to be the most
prominent Democratic candidate for
the Presidential nomination. He is
an avowed free trader, and says:
Free trade is the true doctrine, and
that a tariff in excess of a revenue
standard, is simply taxing one man
for the benefit of another.
The "Independent" leaders, who
took a number ef the people to the
top of a high mountain, and prom
ised them "Reform," if they would
follow them, are not so prolific of
promises just now, while their de
ceived and betrayed followers, like
mother Eve, regretfully cry : "The
erpent beguiled me, and I did eat."
The working of the "machine"
was never more apparent, nor more
effectually displayed, than in the
passage of the Legislative apportion
ment bill, by a solid Democratic vote
in the House, and yet, these be the
time Democrats who bawled so lus
tily in unkon with the "Independ
ents" against "machine" politics dur
ing the last canvass. These be thy
Coin! Oh, Rome!
After a protracted struggle in
tlirir State Convention, the Demo
crats of Georgia, on Thursday last,!
appointed a special committee of
eighteeu, to seleet a candidate for
Governor, which duty they perform
ed by setting aside Messrs. Bacon
and Boynton, the two leading candi
date, and selecting Henry D. Mc
Du me!, as a compromise candidate,
who was then unanimously nomina
ted. The Washington news-mongers
are filling the papers with any
anrount of twaddle about Judge
Greshaai, the new Postmaster Gee-
ral, as a etpital candidate for the

X bill exempting the Seventh
Jay Baptists, and others who observe
that day of Ibe week as the Sabbath
from the penalties of our Sunday
laws, was again, last week, defeated
in the House at Harrisburg. This
is a species of religious intolerance
worthy of the old "Blue law" days
af Connecticut, against which Detu
.orcatic politicians are so wont to

Hos. Joseph J. Lewis, the oldest
member of the Chester county bar,
and formerly Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, died on Thursday
last, at the age of eighty-two.
Fearfully and wonderfully con
structed were the arguments made
by the Democratic statesmen at
Harrisburg last week, to show that,
when the Constitution says : "The
Senatorial ratio 6hall be ascertained
by dividing the whole population of
the State by the number fifty," that
it didn't mean what it says. How
our old friend Judge Black in ante
bellum days used to ding into our
ears the doctrine that, true salvation
was attainable only through a
'strict construction of the Constitu
tion, and lo ! all hope of a happy fu
ture is thus wrecked by a well oiled
"machine" in the hands of his par
tisans. Gov. Dawes, of Nebraska, calls at
tention to the fact that '"the State
Board Gf Agriculture offers liberal
premiums for the greatest number
of trees planted during the month of
April, 1883, by any one person ; and
for the greatest number planted or
put out during the year 1S83. In
addition to this, they offer a special
premium known as "Arbor Day"
premium for the greatest number
of trees planted on a given day, di
vided and classified as to varieties,
and earnestly inviting competition
thereto from all." He appoints, as
has already been stated, Wednesday,
April IS, as Arbor Day, and calls
upon every resident of the State to
plant
The professions of some of our
high stepping "Independent" lead
ers, that they are "as true Republi
cans as ever,." are a good deal like
the Baptist convert, a mau of notori
ously wicked life, who professed to
have "experienced religion. The
good church people chopped a hole
in the ice and immersed the new be
liever. The ceremony awakened
much interest and was attended by
many of the man's former boon com
panions ; they crowded around the
opening in the ice-bound river, and
when the convert was dragged out of
the water, a sinner sidled up to him
and asked: "Are you cald, Jim?"
"N-n-ji-n-o-o-o," responded the glow
ing believer, with chattering teeth.
"Bah !" responded the sinner, in
high disgust, "dip him again, he's a
bar still!"
Oi'R Democratic "Reform" Legis
lature, which came into power with
such profuse professions and prom
ises, has now been in session for
more than an hundred days, and
has proven to the public that it can
gabble more and accomplish less
than any of its predecessors. Dur
ing these hundred days, for which
each member will draw his salary of!
one thousand dollars, only twelve
bills have finally passed both Hous
es. Out of these twelve, five have
been vetoed by our "Reform" Gov
ernor, and of those which have been
graciously permitted to become laws,
but one an act abolishing the of
fice of sealers of weights and meas
uresis of general interest The
people are beginning to ask what is
reform? And what is the use of a
"reform" Legislature that will not
take its instructions in advance from
the "Reform" Governor ?
This groping in the dark after
"Reform" is proving to be a most
expensive luxury, and judging from
results, our model legislators do not
recognize the genuine article when
they come across it. Why not? and
we make the suggestion with becom
ing diffidence follow the device of
patent medicine compounders, and
conspicuously label the article:
"none genuine unless bearing the
signature of R. E. Pattison, the orig
inal discoverer." This would save a
yast deal of time, and labor, and
money ; the diligent searcher after
the genuine article would feel safe
in swallowing it when found, and,
moreover, be saved the risk of per
sonal mortification on discovering
that what they had taken for the
pure article, was on examination,
pronounced a spurious compound,
by the great and infallible Doctor
Pattison.
How much longer this Legislature
will remain in session, is a matter of
the wildest conjecture, but as indi
cating Us probable ending, we note
that a proposition to adjourn on the
first day of Juua has been made.
Meanwhile, nearly seyer). hundred
bills are still on the calander, and
the really important measures, such
as tis apportionment bills, the pro
hibition amendment and numerous
appropriation bills, are in a state of
suspended anittaLjoa.
Let the people posses their souls in
patience ; we are only tasting aaiu
the fruits of Democratic professions,
and proving the truth of the adage
thai "Hell is paved with good inten
tions !
A Democratic orator told a New1
Jeney audience the other evening

accomplished in the political history
of this country "ssjre through the

Harrisburg TdegrajA: "The ex
periment of electing a Democratic
Governor and lower House of the
Legislature has been tried, and the
result should satisfy the roost dis
contented and independent Repub
licans in the State that there is noth
ing to be gained by placing the De

to stav there."
Typographical errors count for
something in Texas. An unfortun
ate editor has just taken to the bush
es, because the word "thriving" ap
peared as "thieving" in reference to
a business patron of the paper.
The proposition for the adjourn
ment of the State Legislature of
Pennsylvania on the first of June
will no doubt surprise many per
sons who have so long been accus
tomed to read in print journalistic
denunciations of preceding Legisla
tures on account of the. length of
their sessions and the amount of
work done. This, however, is a re
form Legislature, and seems to re
quire more time than usual to find
out what to 'do and what not to do.
Last fall a number of so-called
"Independent" Republican papers
did their best to sow the seeds of
mistrust and discord in the Repub
lican ranks, maintaining that the
true path to victory lay through Re
publican defeat. The" result was a
bountiful crop of Democratic victo
ries all over the north. Now these
same papers are clamorous for a re
united Republican party. Had they
shown half the zeal last fall in be
half of reform inside the Republican
lines, there would be less occasion
now for these urgent appeals for
harmony. With Democracy en
trenched in power in most of the
northern States, the battle of 1884
will have to be fought under great
disadvantages. Gettysburg Star and

Foand Murdered.
Denver, April 12. The body of
Fred Warner, brother of the late
Senator Wagner, a native of New
York, and for whom an extended
search wes made last fall, was found
by emigrants last Sunday on the
bank of a creek eight miles from
Powers' station, on the Santa Fe
Railroad. The body was terribly
disfigured. Considerable money
was found scattered about it, also a
plain gold ring inscribed, "A. B. to
P. W., February 1, 1S81," and a bus
iness card marked "Frederick Wag
ner, successor to J. Bumiller, New
York." A bullet hole in the back
of the neck proved conclusively that
Wagner was murdered for the large
amount of money he was supposed
to carry about his person.
Prairie Fire.
Lincoln, April 10. The most de
structive prairie fire that ever occur
red in this section is devastating the
country a few miles north of this
city. Mrs. Dalton, a farmer's wife,
was suffocated while fighting the fire.
One report says she was burned to
death. Many other accidents are
reported. Barns, houses, granaries
and hay stacks were licked up by
the Games. It is estimated that 50
square miles of territory have been
burned over, and the latest accounts
say the fire is still raging. The
flames lit up the heavens for miles
around.

Saved From Destruction toy a Rain.
Westminister, April . 10. The
most disastrous fire ever known in
this city occurred last nignt, origi
nating in Jacob Thompson's livery
stable, in which Bob Thompson and
Aaron Shaefler, employes, were
burned to death, also thirteen head
of horses. Sixteen dwellings and
stores were burned, including the
Lutheran church. Loss, $70,000.

son Dorsey, have been arrested for
setting fire to the stable, and will
have a hearing to-morrow morning.
It is said while engaged in a game
of cards they set the place on fire,
whether accidentally or not, is not
known. The belief is gaining ground
that it was intentional, as otherwise
they could easily have extinguished
it The coroner's jury to-night, in
quiring into the cause of the death of
Thompson and Shaeffer, rendered a
verdict that the stable was fired
through gross negligence and reck
less disregard of lite and property by
the parties under arrest

Farmer Shoot) Two Trampa, One
Fatally.
Chambersburg, Pa., April 12,
Two tramps, whose names are sup
posed to be Shoot and Barton, called
at the farm house of David Long,
residing about a mile south of Cham
bersburg, about 4'oclock this after
noon and demanded something to
eat As they were both intoxicated
Mr. Long refused to give them any
thing. Schoot, with an oath, de
clared he would have it it he had to
fight for it and pushed into the
kitchen. After several unsuccessful
efforts to get Schoot out of the room
Long went into an adjoining room
and procured a revolver, when on
returning te the kitchen Schoot drew
I . t a
nis coat and struck several times at
Long. Long told him to leave or he
would shoot, but Schoot persisted
in, as he said, fighting it out Mr.
Long then fired the first shot, strik
ing Barton, who was standing on
the porch, in the arm. ' Long then
fired the second shot it taking
effect in Schoots left side and passing
into the abdominal cavity. Schoot
ran to the porch and fell and Barton
fled. Word was sent to town for
officers, who arrested Barton and
brought him and Schoot to town,
where medical aid was rendered.
Barton has been sent to jail for treat
ment and Schoot is lying in a preca
rious condition at a boarding house.
There are no hopes of his recovery
and his death is expected at any
time. The shirt which Schoot wears
bears the name of "H. Frantz." He
was unable to give his name, and
the names which we give were re
ceived from a fellow tramp who had
been with them to-day,. Air. Long
was arrested and is in jail. His
counsel will bring him in to court
to-morrow on a writ of habeas cor
pus. Lynched.
Lynchburg, April 12.This morn
ing early about one hundred disguis
ed persens attacked the jail at
Wytheville, forced the sheriff to sur
render the keys and took Wm. M.
Crochett from his cell and hung him
from the beam of a mill en the out
skirts of the town. Crockett was
awaiting trial for the murder , of
Joseph H. T. Hurt, in Wythe county
some time ago. 1 he murder was a
cold blooded affair, and Crockett
would have been lynched at the time
had he not escaped. He was capt
ured about two months ago and
brought back to Wytheville for trial.
After hanging him the mob riddled,
his body with bullets to insure his
death. Nfltae of the lynchers were
recognized. Intense excitement pre
vails at Wytheville.
Live Stock Poisoued.
Annville, April 10. A startlin
discoverv has been made on the
farm of Rudoloh Gravbill. two miles
from here.1' Mr Gray bill lost inside
of twenty-four hours six valuable
cows, a thoroughbred bull, a young
colt and a calf. Paris green was
found mixed with their feed. The
poor cattle were much swollen after
death. Some were opened and found
to have been poisoned. There is no
doubt but that some malicious stran
ger intentienally mixed the poison
with the food. Mr. Graybill used
Pasis green last year for his potatoes
and the spoonful he had left was
kept in the house and it still there.
The poison was undoubtedly carried
to the barn and secretly mixed in
the food by some unknown enemy
anxious for revenge.

very serious. Ibe mill bus been
filling up with non-union men quite
rapidly of late and members of the
Amalgamated Association B-em to
be geuju desperate, and assaults on
men who have taken the places of
strikers are of daily occurrence.
Several of them have been badlv

gang of strikers, and when about two
miles distant were beaten and thrown
off of the bridge. Two of the num
ber hsve not returned and are said
to be very seriously injured. Two
or three physicians left to-night to
attend them, but became alarmed
and returned before reaching the
spot The crowning infamy in a
series of outrages heaped upon work-
mgmen was perpetrated to-night
A party of them were leaving the
mill about half past seven o'clock
and soon after getting outside the
enclosure a gang of strikers opened
tire upon them with rifles, shotguns
and pistols. It is said scarcely less
than fiftv shots were fired. John
Waldron. a vounff man recently ar
rived from Pittsburgh, fell dead. It
afterward appeared that thirty-four
buck shots entered his side, breast,
throat and face. Brainard Mul
kurn was shot in the chest and
arm. His wound U serious, but it
thought he will survive. Sam Brit
tin received a slight wound in the
hip. Great excitement prevails. No
arrests have as yet beem made. The
murderers are unknown,as they fired
from ambush. The workingmen are
unawed and express a determination
to run the mill.
The Fayette Nominee.
Uniontowx, Pa., Aprii 15. Hugh
J. Gilmore, of this place, was yester
day nominated by the Democratic
Lounty Committee lor Dukes vacant
seat in the Legislature. The nomi
nation was made on the seventh bal
lot and fourteen candidates in the
field, with Hill, the Searight candi
date, the strongest Gilmore has
never been specially prominent in
politics, and has never been identifi
ed with either of the Democratic
factions in Fayette county. He is a
civil engineer by profession.
Hill had opened expensive head
quarters at the hotel, but the anti
Searight forces were too stnoug for
him. Ihelull committee of forty
was present, and the point was to
combine the opposition against huu
and his fifteen votes. On the first
ballot he had but 8, however, Thom
as Hezen 7 and Gilmore C, and the
ttoyle men, after the second ballot,
picked on the latter as the strongest
and added to him right along. The
votes were, 6, G, 0, 13, 15, IS, 21, the
last ballot nominating, while Hill
fell back from 17 to 1.3. A proposi
tion to assess each of the candidates
ten dollars was rejected before the
balloting commenced.
Goes lo Pnn.
Washington, April 12. Stillwell
H. Russell, late U.S. Marshal for the
Western District of Texas, who was
recently tried and convicted upon a
charge of presenting false expense
accounts, was to-day sentenced by
Judge Turner, at San Antonio, Tex
as, to imprisonment for two years
in the penitentiary at Chester, 111.
Russell was appointed by President
Hayes and made application to
President Arthur for reappointment,
but charges of misconduct in office
were preferred against him and an
investigation was ordered by the
Attorney General. This investiga
tion ended in his arrest, trial and
conviction. It is estimated that dur
ing the time of Lis service as Mar
shal, Russell defrauded the Govern
ment out of at least 850.000. His
official bond, however, is good and
the Department of Justice expects to
recover the entire sum from his sure
ties. Queer Trick.
Philadelphia, April 12. Abra
ham D. Hackman, postmaster at
Pipersville, Bucks county, was
brought here to day by a U. S. Mar
shal, charged with re-using old post
age stamps. Re-used postage stamps
having been frequently discovered
on letters from that town, an inves
tigation was had, and it was found
that Hackman kept the money left
with him for postage and attached
cancelled stamps to the letters. He
will be given a hearing before U. S.
Commissioner Phillips. Hackman
was arraigned this afternoon and
held in $2,500 bail to answer the
charge.
A Miner's Lucky Escape.
Shamokin, April 12. This even
ing, just before quitting time, it was
discovered that Richard White, in
side superintendent of the Bcllmore
colliery, near Mount Carinel, who
had entered a breast to make an ex
amination of its contents, failed to
return. Several miners went to in
vestigate the cause of his delay and
found that a fall of top coal bad oc
curred and imprisoned him. Four
hours were consumed in releasing
White and the rescuing party were
surprised to find that he was but
slightly injured.
Gored by a Ball.
Lancaster, April 12. Jno. Black,
of this city, father of James Black,
the temperance leader, was seriously
injured to day by being gored by a
bull on the farm of his son, at Black
Barren Springs, a health resort in
Fulton township. His friends in
this city were telegrphed for and his
son has gone to him. He is over
eighty years of age and is well known
throughout the State as a contractor.
A Reduction to be Ordered.
Pittsburg, April 13. The attempt
to'settle the differences existing be
tween 'the coal miners and operators
by arbltatiorl pas failed completely.
Operators seen' after" ibe' meeting
state that a reduction to three cents
will now bo ordered, and the miners
assert that under these circumstances
a strike will be inevitable.

A Big Railroad Loan.
Baltimore, April 12 The B. &
O. lw R. Co. has filed for record in
the Supreme Court of this city a
mortgage deed to secure the pay
ment of $12,000,000 worth of bonds
to be issued shortly to defray the
coat of the construction and equip
ment of its new line between Balti
more and Philadelphia. The oom
nanv's intention to build this road
has been known since the spring of
1881, when Vice President Robert
Garrett made an unsuccessful at
tempt to secure a controlling inter
est in the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad, thereby
leading to the purchase of that road
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. For over a year two corps of
engineers have been.engaged in sur
veying lines through this State and
Pennsylvanfa, and the right of way
has now been obtained under the
sanction of acts of the Legislature of
Maryland, Delaware and Pennsyl
vania. The mortgage is made to W.
F. Burns, John Gregg and T. Harri
son Garrett and was executed on the
2d of April in accordance with a res
olution passed by the B. & O. Di
rectors on March 14th last, ordering
the issuing of bonds to build the
road to the amount of two million
four hundred thousand pounds ster
ling. The bonds have been issued
by the railroad company to Brown,
Shipley & Co., of London, England.
They are for two hundred pounds
sterling each, dated April 2d and
bear interest at four and a half per
cent
