FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR : WILLIAM BAKER. Milford Twp. If you have not raid a State or County tax within two years, you will lose your vote unless you pay by the Gth day of October. To secure a vote at the next elec tion, on November Oth, all voters must pay their taxes on or before the Oth day of October. Don't forget this!! There are orders already in at the Fostofiice Department at Wash ington for over 40,000, KX) twcent stamps. This is f n age cf letter writing. The Ohio Democrats are making the awfuleft fight ever sen among themselves. Old party leaders are every day being kicked out by the boys and told to go. Young Republicans who voted on age last year, should not forget that they must pay a State or County tax on or before the Gth day of next month, or tbey will not get a vote at the coming election. The Southern Bourbons are open ly serving notice on the Northern Democrats that they must have a fair division of the spoils, and claim the right to name either the Presi dential candidate or the candidate for Vice President The Republicans of Cambria county last week nominated Geo. M. Reade, Eq.. for President Judge, John C. Gates for Prothonotary, John II. Brown for Register and Re corder, and George II. Sharpe for Director of the Poor. Ex-Goveuor Kirkwood is making some telling hits in his speeches on the stump in Iowa. In an address at Cedar Rapids he referred to the cry "turn the rascals out," and said that the Republicans turned them out over twenty years ago. Mr. Watterson foresees Democratic defeat in Ohio and expresses his digust as follows in The Louisville Courier Journal: "We have hither to mentioned that an Ohio election once in each twenty years would about meet the wishes of this great and growing country. If further re marks are in order, we shall move to strike out twenty and insert one hundred as more fully meeting the necessities of the case." Up to the 10th of this month, when, according to the resolution of the Republican Senate, the pay was to stop, Pattison' extra session had cost the tax payers of this State $2t9, (KX). Not content, however, with this dreadful waste of money, the Gov ernor, by his veto of the no-pay res olution, is adding over j$,utu per day to the enormous sum already squandered. "Reform" comes rather high, but the people were last year induced to vote for it. The dreadful straits to which the Pattison Democracy has been driv en, may be inferred from the fact that the Philadelphia Sunday Trtttft, the personal organ of Senator Gor don, who is the Governor's mouth piece in the Senate, has read Lieutenant-Governor Black out of the party, and consigned him to the cus tody of those bloody things, the Stalwarts. Says Sunday Truth : Mr. Black long aeo showed that be did not care anything about what the Democrat thought any horn. He know that lie it holding his lat office and will eH no more hononi from the Democracy, and. therefore. lie tuifrht a well make the most of what he has pot. There may be some living who will lament this questionable triumph of Mr. Black. But then again death has been verv kind to some. Farewell, lilack ! Lucky iiiack : M nicb lilac 7 The Stalwart have another decayed poli tician to take care of namely, Mr. t'liaun cey F. Black, late a lMuocrat. We hoe tn m alw ays a nice thing from bisncw-lound friends. This is really too, too, dreadful Our handsome young Lieutenant Governor has. for some time, been the conceded residuary legatee of al! that remains of the Democracy's patron saint, Thomas Jefferson, and his summary ejection, with all his goods and chatties, from the church of his faith, will leave that institu tion with nothing but the bones of Andrew Jackson to bank upon. Poor, old Democracy ! without Black and his carefully preserved relics of Jefferson, it is like the inebriate who vowed that if the coat of his stom ach had given out, it must go it in its shirt sleeves. The traditions of "Old Hickory" is all that is left it now. A mere threadbare shirt never covered the nakedness of a decayed old party. The Democratic organs are doing some tall cyphering to show that the present Democratic Legislature, in cluding the extra Eession, will not cost more than previous Republican Legislatures. Suppose it does not, does that excuse the needless ex penditure of more than $300,000 on a useless, extra session? Besides, the jteople were promised that this should le an economical, Reform Legislature, and it was on this prom ise, and the charge of Republican extravagance, that they were induc ed to again trust the Democrats with power. If the Democrats were eco nomical at the regular session, the nno frvr.1o thptr are makine of TV VtBt WVV -m J themselves, by squandering $300,000 on a do-nothing extra eession. As was intimated in advance by the Administration leaders in the Legislature, the Governor last week vetoed the appropriation bill paesed by both Houses, providing pay un til the 10th inst, and declaring that after that date it should cease. This is the only instance on record where the veto power of the Executive has been used to increase the expendi ture of the people's money. Mark the fact! The Legislature adopted a measure declaring that the pay of its members should cease on the 10th day of September, and the Governor by vetoing the bill, says that it shall not, but that the daily expenditure of more than $3,000 shall go on. The attempt to stop this useless waste of money was a Republican measure, introduced into, and passed by the Republican Senate, and acquiesced in by the Democratic House, despite the efforts of the Administration leaders to defeat it, because the members were afraid to vote it down and face the people. The stoppage of pay would have soon forced an adjournment, and sooner than see the extra session adjourn without ac complishing the object for which it was called an apportionment that would continue the Democrats in possession of the power accidentally obtained the Governor concluded to veto the bill, thus securing the continuance of ten dollars per day to each of the members, and also the prolonging of the session. The mes sage is a queer conglomeration of Constitutional ethics, absurd special pleading, illogical reasoning, and an amusing assumption that he is the sole custodian of the Constitution, and its only authoritative interpre ter. The strong point of the mes sage is based on the law which pro vides that members shall be paid $10 per day at each adjourned or special session, and the section of the Constitution which declares that the salary or emoluments of any public officer shall not be increased or diminished during his terra of office. This is undoubtedly the law, but with' strange forgetfulness of its mandates, the Governor immediately thereafter announc es that he will not at this time indicate what his action will be when the bill appropriating pay for the session shall come to his hands. He s;ys that he is sworn to enforce the laws ; that the pay of members is uxed by law ; that it cannot be in creased or diminished by the Legis lature itself, during the session, and yet that he reserves to himself the right of determining when the bill reaches him, whether he will ap prove it, or by vetoing it refuse members the pay which the law fixes, and the Constitution says can not be increased or diminished. If the Legislature passes a bill to pay its members $10 per day for every day it remains iu session, the Gov ernor cannot veto it without violat ing his oath, and therefore his decla ration that he reserves the right to determine whether he will or will not approve a bill to pay the mem bers when it reaches him, is mere rot, which will neither intimidate members into yielding to his dicta tion, or impose upon the public the belief that he can yet save the Treas ury from the enormous expenditure his present veto entails upon it The arrogance, not to say impudence of his lecture to members upon their sworn constitutional duty, when in the same breath he broadly inti mates that he may violate his obli gation to obey the same instrument, is simply puerile and contempti ble. But neither the pretentious claim of performing a constitutional duty, nor the special pleading of the Gov ernor, can blind or hoodwink the people to the plain facts involved in the issue between himself and the Republican members of the Legisla ture. It is simply this : After a session of one hundred and fifty days, during which it was demon strated that an agreement could not be arrived at, the Legislature ad journed. Immediately the Governor called them back into special session, involving an expense of more than $3,000 per day : when after a further experience of an additional hundred days, finding that they were no near er an agreement than when they commenced, they resolved that they would cut off all further pay, and to this measure in favor of honesty and economy, the Governor interposes his veto, and declares the session and the pay shall still go on. His sole plea in extenuation of this mon strous wrong to the tax payers is, that he is discharging a sworn con stitutional duty ; to which we reply, so are the members of the Legisla ture, and each individual member is as much entitled to have his con victions of constitutional duty re spected, as has his Excellency, Rob ert E. Pattison. On this issue the people will have an opportunity of delivering judgment at the polls on the Gth day of November next, and if we mistake not, it will be an over whelming and merited condemna tion of the State Administration, its aiders and abettors. glkaxixgs. The public land disposed of Da kota the current yaar to private in dividuals aggregates twenty-seven times the total acreage of Rhode Island, and yet there are Democratic statesmen who declare it is only a howling waste, and has no right to become a State, Ex-State Treasurer Butler struck the nail on the head when he said that Chairman Hensel forgot some thing when he stated that Livsey had spent his life in serving two people, the Queen and Chris Magee, He spent several years in the war fighting the friends of Mr. Hensel and the Democratic party in the South. Weil Chester Republican. Governor Pattison bv his veto of the no-pay resolution, publicly pro claims that he will stand by the $10 a day statesmen if they will stand by him." He also makes this remarka ble statement: "Official propriety reouires me to believe they will not unnecessarily consume the money of the people by protracting to an un warranted Jengtn oi time men bit ting." If we are not vastly mistaken the people had come to the conclu sion that "thev" had done this two months ago. Now that Pattison has vetoed the , .- i i no-pay resolution, as every uuuy knew he must, when they considered he was in league with the thieves and beats in the Legislature, there is no question as to where the responsi bility for the swindle of the taxpay ers of $3,000 a day rests the Demo crats in the Legislature persistently vote against adjournment, and the Governor refuses to endorse a bill that they shall not receive pay for doing nothing. Johnstown Tribune. Judsie Foraker made a decided hit in his speech at Mansfield recent ly. In replying to Judge uoaaiys general charge of corruption against the Republican party, he quoted Irom the records, showing that in National affairs the Republicans had served the Government more honest ly and faithfully than any other party. As to Ohio, while three Re publican county treasurers naa em bezzled public funds, no less than twenty-six Democratic treaurers naa stolen the money entrusted to them. That the Pattison administration has persistently tried to so shape legislation admits of no dispute. Its chosen spokesmen in both Houses have bullied and threatened the Re publicans on several occasions. They haye set forth that the Govern or demanded certain action by the Houses under ienalty if denied. Yet Mr. Pattison and his friends are no more the custodians of the con stitution than the same number of men who till their farms or mine coal and iron. It is no more to them whether a new apportionment be made this year unless for a selfish purpose han it is to the same num ber of reputable citizens in private life taken at random. All this over concern is the merest chaff, and the iieonle know iu And the fulmina- tions of Democratic orators and edi tors is also chaff. There is not a re deeming grain of wheat in the mass. Aorth American. The Fastest Five-Year Old. The record of Jay-Eye-See at Narraganset Park Proyidence, R. I., on Saturday last is looked upon as wonderful. He is a black-gelding owned by J. I. Case, of Racine Wisconsin and is five years old. This is his second season on the turf and his record Saturday of 2. 10 has been beaten by Maud S, by only half a second. The last card was an announced attempt of the gelding to beat his record of 2.14. He was brought out and sent a mile as a warmer, after which the track was scraped and he was sent for time, Mr. Bitter asked the judge not to give him the word until he nodded. After scoring a couple of times he came down close to the fence and nodded, and every stop-watch on the grounds was started. About four rods from the wire two gentlemen were looking over the fence and see ing this the gallant black lifted his head, but only for a second, the quar ter was reached in thirty four seconds the half in 1.061 and the three-quar ters in 1.3y. Down the home stretch he flew, and then it was seen that be would beat the time. In 2.1 Or he passed the wire and gained for himself the title of King of the Turf. Then and not till then was the silence broken, and cheers went up, and the band played "Hail to the Chief," and the crowds again cheered. Mr. Case was the most delighted man on the ground. He threw up his hat and walking across the track and in to the grand stand, where Mrs. Case was seated, he bent down and kissed her twice. "Others beside Vandere bilt can own a king," and by the look in his face it was plain that he was as the boys say, "tickled to death." A purse of So,000 was offered in New York, for which Jay-Eye-See and St Julian record, 2.111, are to compete on the 29th inst. An Organized Band of Barn-Bornera. Lockport, N. Y., Sept 19. There is almost a reign of terror among the Niagara county farmers on account of the extensive operations of an ap parently thoroughly organized band of barn-burners. . Hardly a night passed that one or two large fires are not to be seen in the country around this city, and the following morning the lamentable news come in that some prominent farmer has had his barn, stock, agricultural implements and sometimes live stock destroyed by the flames cause of fire un known. In many cases the entire products of the year's labor are swept away in an hour or two. Many farmers who have suspicions of neighbors in connection with the dastardly deeds fear to utter a word, as they know not what will occur next Inmost cases the in surance is small and certainly for bids the thought of owners starting the fires. Last night Charles Wyn koop, a prominent farmer, three miles south of here, lost large barns, grain and implements, worth $3,000. On the night before two barns in different parts of the country were burned. No clue sufficient to war rant arrests has ever been found. Narrow Escape. Mahanoy Plane, September 20. An immense volume of water broke down into the workings of the Stanton Colliery, at Mahanoy Plane this morning, and the mine was flooded. ..The men were just able to escape in time and all the mules were gotten out save one, which could not be reached by the miners in time. The colliery may be idle some time. HAVOC BY BOILER. BURST Three Men ana Fifteen Paraona Injur ed, Some of Them Fatally, at the 811 Milln, tn Pltubmrg Name of the Dead and Wounded. Pittsbcrq, September 20. This af ternoon three men were killed and fifteen more injured by a boiler ex plosion at the Sligo Mills, South Side. About 1.30 o'clock the resi dents or the entire lower portion of Pittsburg were startled by a dull, heavy report, which caused windows to rattle and break and which, for the instant, conveyed the impression of in earthquake. A moment later an alarm of fire was turned in from box 124, located at the Lake Erie Depot on the South Side, followed shortly by a second alarm ; but it was not until some time afterward that it became known that the boiler at the flange works of Phillips, Mer rick &Co., at the Sligo Mills, had ex ploded. The establishment in which ths explosion occurred was hemmed in by narrow alleyways, railway tracks and manufactories, and the surging of the crowds toward the scene choked the alleys with terrified women, excited men and screaming children, all bent up on learning the extent of the disaster or whether any of their loved ones had been injured. A SCESE OF INTENSE EXCITEMENT. The clerk in the offices connected with the works promptly telephoned for police assistance, and as the pa trolmen of the First district, under Lieutenant O Brien, double-quicked to the locality the excitement in creased and the wildest rumors were circulated among the excited people. As soon as the police arrived some system was inaugurated and those who had Dressed forward could get a full view of the utter wreck which had been made. The flange 6hop, at one end of which the boiler had been located, was demolished as thoroughly aa if it had been razed intentionally. The machine shop, adjoining, was shattered into a mass ol rubbish, v nne tne oniy portion of the ill-lated boiler remaining in its original location was the heavy iron bottom, which remained im bedded in the masonry. There were comparatively few men employed, but emerging from the debris could be seen soot-begrimed beings, eo thoroughly changed as to be unrecognizable even by their most intimate friends. Those who could walk were hurried to the nearest houses, while those who had fract ured limbs or those who had been scalded were carried as tenderly as possible to the warehouse, where a half dozen physicians had been promptly summoned. There were willing hands at work removing the mass of timbers. As the work pro gressed it was watched with intense anxiety. A .THRILLING INCIDENT. While this was going on the fire men were battling with the flames, which had been caused by the Bhow er of red-hot cinders, and a thrilling incident, involving the rescuing of four little children named Douglass from a horrible death, was transpir ing, ihey naa been imprisoned beneath a heavy door in a shed ad joining the flange department and slowly being roasted to death when they were accidentally discovered and rescued, but not until after they j had been cruelly and one of them fatally burned. In every direction huge pieces of the ruptured boiler could be found. Guy rods, which had been wrenched from their fastenings, were twisted in every imaginable shape and de posited on roofs of 6heds or lodged in the sickly-looking trees, which had been subjected to the shower of hot steam and burning dust. Here and there were portions of the steam Eipe, some embedded in heavy tim er, while grate bars and huge sec tions of the iron sheeting which had formed the roof of the structure had been hurled hundreds of feet. One section, nearly three-quarters of the boiler, was thrown six hundred feet into the Monongahela river. THE DEAD TERRIBLY MUTILATED. Coroner Dressier was promptly upon the scene and immediately set to work recovering the dead bodies and placing them in as presentable appearance as possible. There was a deep cut on the side of Charles Douglass' face, extending from the lower part of the left eye to the ear ; the cut was sewed while the body lay in the warehouse and several wounds on the limbs and body were bandaged. The scalp of John Wal lens' head, which was completely blown off, was put in place and the remains of the two removed to Ward's undertaking establichment, on Carson street John McGairgan was unloading coal near the boiler and was so badly injured that he did within an hour. Douglass was the foreman and Allen the fireman in the flange-shop. They never knew what hurt them. All afternoon and until after dark to-night thousands thronged to the South Side to look at the wrecked buildings. Though the list of killed is not as large as some other explo sions the wreck in this instance is the worst known here for half a de cade. Sold His Wife. Huntingdon, Pa., September 21. A few days ago a Swede employ ed in the Dry Hollow Ore Bank, this county sold his wife, a buxom voung woman to a brother Swede for the consideration of $31 cash. On Wednesday last, after the lapse of three or four days, the husband who had thus made sale of his life partner rued the transaction and ac cordingly demanded his wife. The purchaser, however being satisfied with his bargain, refused, whereup on a riot ensued in which about six ty Swedes took part, several of wham were badly beaten and a two, includ ing the legal husband of the woman were shot, but not dangerously hurt. The woman has refused to go back to her husband, and, another and more serious riot is in consequence expected. Buried iu the Same Grave. Denver, September 20. A spec ial dispatch to the Tribune from So carro, N. M., says : At one of the ranches of the Big Four Cattle Company near here, on Monday, Joal Fowler, a large cattle dealer, met Ponley Forest and Bill Cbildes, with whom he had had pre vious trouble. Forest and Childs commenced firing at Fowler, who returned the fire, killing Childs. Forest ran into a house occupied by a Mr. McGee, who went to the door and asked Forest to come out In stead of doing so, Forest fired, kill ing McGee, whereupon Fowler net fire to the house. Rather than take the chances of a shooting match with Fowler, Forest put a ball thro' his own heort. All three were bu ried in the same grave. TERRIBLE Fearful Sufferings. Halifax. September 18. Captain Alfred Gasoton, of the bark Britan ia. which was wrecked off the coast on Monday last, tells a story of fear ful suffering. They were on the wreck from Monday until Tuesday afternoon, during which time a gale was blowing and all hands were compelled to remain on deck, expos ed to the fury of the 6torm. finally they took to a small raft. Hardly had the people got on this when the heavy sea washed on every soul and the Captain and eight men were the only ones who reached it During the night and following morning five others were washed off in a similar manner, leaving only four survivors who were rescued by a boat Irom shore. Thirteen perished, including the wife and four children of Captain Gasston, all natives of England. Two of the Captain s children were picked up, but died in a few min utes, either from mght or exhaust ion. The following is the list of the lost : First officer, George FoyejBecond officer, Arthur Holmes ; steward, name unknown : John Johnston, Lewis Smith, Frederick Henderson, Arthur Porthouse, Ernst Mellon, Mrs. Emily Gasston and her four children. Burning His Father's House. Wilkes barre, September 17. Young Davidsburg, the son of the wealthy jeweler here, who was yes terday arrested charged with at tempted arson, was released by May or Broderick upon the promise of his father to take him in charge. But between the father and son the best feeling does not exist, and to day about noon, during the absence of the father, the young man at tempted to burn the family resi dence, and would have succeeded had not the flames been discovered and instantly extinguished. The young man was rearrested, and is now lodged in the lockup again. It is a very sad case, and the elder Da vidsburg is prostrated with grief in consequence. It is the opinion of some that the young man is not al together accountable for his yile ac tions. Fatal Kncounter. Detroit, September 16. The body of a man has been found in the woods eight miles from Cheboygan, and identified as that of Frank Dev ereaux. a homesteader who lived near by. The surroundings show that he nad been killed in a fight witli a bear, which resulted fatally for both, the body of the bear being found near that of the man. The body of Deveraux was found sitting braced against a log, where he had evidently placed himself after his fight with the bear. The man's face and legs had been gnawed nearly to the bone, one shoulder was dislo cated, one eve gone and his abdo men torn open. The bear had been shot through the shoulder, and, ag gravated by the wound, had made a tierce attack upon hi assailant. The ground was torn up for a distance of twenty feet around the spot, and the prints of the bear's teeth and bunch es of hair were found on the gun which Deveraux had used. Fasting for Six days.

F., September 19 The French fishing schooner Mercu ry, which arrtved at St Pierre last night from Grand Banks, picked up on the 12th inst, two Newfoundland fishermen, named Walsh and Mat thews, who had been adrift in a dory six days without food or water. They finally became delirious, and Walsh opened his veins and sucked his blood to quench his terrible thirst The men were so weak that they had to be hoisted aboard the Mercury with a rope. The Mercury also brought Captain Hiscock and three of the crew of the wrecked Newfoundland banker Medianna. They could tell nothing of the fate of the balance of the crew. Stnng by a Copperhead Snake. Pottsville, September 20. A man named Potts employed at the car riage works near Seyen Stars, was bitten by a copperhead snake yester day.

It is supposed that last night Cardi nal, after drinking quite freely, start ed for Hauser's house with the de termination to have an understand ing, and, if possible, secure the girl. Upon arriving at their home on South Front Street, and observing Mary and her father seated in the yard, it is supposed Cardinal chang ed his mind, concluding he could unobserved shoot Hauser and get him out of the way.

San Francisco, Sept 18. H. Barnhardt a merchant of Guaymas, has arrived here. He says the caus es of the disease will dissipate with the first rain. The fever appears there every Summer and no one fears it The violence of the fever this year is due to want of rain. The physicians increased the evil by declaring the disease yellow fever. This created such a scare that the people lay down and died like sheep, and from that moment the only busi ness done was a lively trade in cof fins. The most of those who died were of the poorer classes, who were unable, owing to the scarcity of food, to obtain proper nourishment. Many of the sufferers drank cold liquors, which induced congestion of the brain, and caused almost immediate death. Convicts Whipped. Wilmington, September 23.
