The Somerset Herald. ' i EDWARD SCULL, Editor and Proprietor. 1 - i WEDNESDAY.... .Nut ruber II, 1S8. The four hundredth birthday of Martin Luther waB celebrated all over the United States and Europe, on Sunday last, 10th inet. It looks as if a hard winter were before the laboring men. Iron mills, nail factories and other indus trial establishments are closing in different portions of the country. The members of the Legislature know when they have a good thing. They are as pereistent setters as so many old hens, and it makes no difference if all the eggs in the nest are addled. Attorxky General Cassidy de nies the rumor of his intended res ignation. This was entirely unnec essary. Mr. Cassidy will hang to the teat as long as Pattison runs the machine. The Democratic editors of the State appear to be dissatisfied be cause the Republican majority is not 40,0((.' It is a little dissatisfying, but they should remember that "enough is as good as a feast" The charges against Mrs. Belva Lockwood, the woman lawyer, who was accused of irregularity in hand ling pension cases, have been with drawn, and the order debarring her from practice has been revoked. Since the elections on the Cth inst, the fight over the Speakership of the next House has opend up briskly. Randall, Carlisle and Cox are the principal candidates, and the friends of each are bragging con sumedly. It is not our funeral. A meeting of the Republican Na tional Committee will be held at the Arlington House, Washington D. C, Wednesday, December 12th, 1S-S!, for the purpose of deciding upon the date and place for holding the next National Republican Convention. Ik the extra sera-ion adjourns on the 5th day of December, there will be nothing to show lor the monu mental Democratic blunder that cost the tax payers of the State $5G3,472, except the judicial apportionment bill, and a defeated Democratic party. One year of the reform tidal wave Governors was quite sufficient for the people. Butler, in Massachu setts, Cleveland, in New York, and Pattison, in Pennsylvania, satisfied the people that the Democrats can not be trusted, therefore they went to the polls and voted to "turn the rascals out" The recent Florida enactment for bidding licenses for the sale of intox icating liquors, except upon a peti tion ot a majority of the voters of the election district, has been considered by the Supreme Court and the con stitutionality of the act affirmed. The people in any election district may hence declare absolute prohibi tion if they choose. It is very amusing, now that the flection is over, to observe the craw fishing of the Democratic press that approved and defended the extra session, and applauded the House for refusing to adjourn. There is no more boosting of the Governor. On the contrary, there is quite a loud call for the resignation of his cabi net, which is now held responsible for the extra session crime. When the Republican party gets ready it will nominate a good and true man for President, and the peo ple will elect him. The wise admin intration of public affairs and the unbounded prosperity of the people of every State lead thinking men to but one conclusion, "it is better to let well enough alone," and that a change in policy would be disas t rouK There are now 47,SG3 postoffioes in the United States, an increase of l,f23 during the past year. Penn sylvania has the largest number, with New York second, and Ohio third. Lancaster county. Pa., has the largest number of any county in the United States. Illinois has the largest nuuber of money -order offi ces. Last year only 3SS postmasters of the 47.8G3 resigned, which shows that the old adage still holds good. The ultra Democratic press has experienced quite a change of heart. Before the election it insisted that the Legislature should stick, and the robbery of the tax payers should continue : now, n propose to save the treasury by robbing the mem Lers of their pay. This is the basest kind of ingratitude to the toels .it has used. But th raiponsiblity cannot thus be shifted. The ad ministration has made its bed ua4 must lie in it Thkbk is scarce a doubt that the result of this month's elections has strengthened Mr. Arthur as a candi date. As matters now stand. New York is essential to Republican euc cok. and it is claimed that he would be ike strongest candidate ia thai folate. Lis prudent and conservative cows taring largely eliminated i former hoMJitr to him. It is tooJ early, however, U do more than speculate upon this subject With a Democratic Congress soevening within two weeks, it amounts almost to a certainty, that its action will largely indicaXe, if not create the is sues and the candidates for the com - ing Presidential campaign. and the Nation engaged in a bloody war. The Treasury now has $209,-! QXV.iOO .r li : : i f - peace and prosperity .very where. but is xnja, a gooa rcaj-ju i '""' a faithless party to power and posi tion?' - v' On Tuesday of last week, while yet smarting from the thrashing their party had received the previous week, the Democrat of the Houaei held a caucus and directed that a joint resolution be reported favoring an adjournment on the 5th day of , December next This resolution' was afterwards adopted by the House, and the committee op appro- priationswa instructed to report a bill, which was done the samelalter noon, covering all the expenses of the.extra session from June 7th, to December 5th, inclusive. This bill appropriates a gross sum , ot o, 97 Ik- The object in postponing the adjournment till December 5th, was to provide for the possible veto of the appropriation bilL If the Legis lature adjourned at once, and the bill was vetoed afterwards, all hope of present pay was gone, but by re maining in session for more than ten davs. durine which the Governor must return the bill with or without his objections, if vetoed, it can be passed over his head. Having thus provided against the contingency of going without pay, the Democratic statesmen rested calmly from their labors until Thursday last, when they were seized with a sudden pan ic for fear the Senate would concur in the resolution to adjourn, and re fuse to pass the bill providing for pay, and so the vote fixing Decem ber 5th as the day for final adjourn inent, was reconsidered. Meanwhile, the appropriation bill has finally passed the House, has been sent to the Senate, and there referred to committee. No further action has been taken upon it, and the patriots of the House are sweating in an ag ony of far, lest the pay will not be forthcoming. Should the Senate re fuse to concur, or insist upon hot ap' propriating pay for each and every day since June 7th, there is no tell nig when a final adjournment will take place, but probably not till after this Legislature ha rounded out a full vear in continuous session. . We observe that in the wrestle for the Speakership of the next House, that is now in progres between Ran dall, of this State, and Carlisle, of Kentucky, a number of our Repub lican contemporaries express a d e 6ire for the success of Randall, be cause he favors a protective tariff. while Carlisle is an outspoken free trader, or in favor of a "tariff for revenue only." This is simply measuring Randall by his professions and not by his acts a most hazard ous method of dealing with any Democratic politician and exhibits a most childish verdancy in his case, in face of the fact that, when last elected speaker, he appointed Fernando Wood, the ablest free trader in the House, .Chairman of the Committee of Ways and-Mans, having exclusive control of the tariff question. . ..,-. A similar confidence jn the pro fessions of George M. Dallas a tariff Democrat of the same school as Ran dall, co6t the country the repeal of the. tariff of 1842, and the adop tion of the ruinous revenue tariff of 1S4G. Of the two men. we prefer the election of Carlisle, first, because he honestly avows his free trade princi ples, and secondly, because his suc cess places his party in its true posi tion, and tears aside the flimsy veil of protection, under which it in this and other Northern States, attempts to disguise its free trade principles. The great campaign of next year will, in all probability, turn upon the question of protection, and we prefer encountering an open, manly foe, rather than a sneaking, hypo critical trickster. There is a large protective sentiment among the Democrats of Pennsylvania, but it is always subordinated to the free trade demands of the party at large. The stream cannot rise higher than its source, and tested by its traditions, iU history, its act, the Democratic party is opposed to protection to our : home industries. In not a sincle State of the Union, did it this year when preparing for the corning Pres idential struggle, dare declare by its platform, its faith in. and desire for protection. The bold, outspoken man, no difference what his views, is always preferable to the sneak, and for this reason, as well us for the fact that his selection will make an open, square issu Wween free trade and protection,- we hope to see Mr. Cflrlitlp c. hnspn as t h Snalr.r nf the next House.

The Republican belief was that the battle'of 18S3 was i imply pre- paratory to that of 14. TheDemo- r its wi re ot tlie panic minu. arm fact, ever t known to,nri off year. In Prnnsvlvania the Tariff, the extra session, and 1.SS4 summed up all the issues pressed, and the result is a most glorious yictory one which proves that Pennsylvania is the keystone to the protective sys tem, as she is to the arch of the Union.- The wasteful extra session has been publicly condemned, and plainly condemned, and the attitude of the "Republican Senators endorsed. Finally, the lines for 18S4 have been favorably drawn, and they are solid now, where but a year ago only di vision was promised.' " : Pennsylvania showed the first organized division of two Republi can elements, in the battle last year, but then these elements so near ly approached each other in their negotations for peace, that with the heat of battle removed, nothing re mained but a better feeling and a better understanding. "The blood of the martyr's is the seed of the church," and though good men fell in that battle, they fought side by side and under the same banners in 1883, and the unitv of Republican ism in Pennsylvania was a public invitation to Republicans everywhere to null together. Pattison had 40,- 000 plurality last year; the Republi can State ticket has aoout livjuu this year a result bigger than any com ment. New York recovered from 193,000 adverse majority last year, to such an extent as to make both houses of the Legislature Republican, and to elect the head of the ticket by 13,000. The other Democratic State officers were chosen by so small a majority that the State will be the Presiden tial battle ground next year, with both parties hopeful of getting its electoral vote. Connecticut changed to Republi canism by a bigger majority than ever before, and planted sucli a ma jority in the .Mate Senate as will insure a liepuwican j. s. senator in 1885. Minnesota is Republican by 18, 000, an increased majority. Nebras ka tells the same story. Massachusetts was "brought back into the Republican line. Butler was defeated by 10,0(10, reversing the verdict of last year. This was a memorable victory, for it over threw at once and forever all of the worst elements in that State. It has saved the country from a form of demaiiogisni more dangerous? than anv other. With Bntler successful and a candidate for the Presidency every communistic element would have organized in his behalf, and demagogues would have everywhere attempted to precipitate a conflict between capital and labor. New Jersey and Maryland held to their Democratic moorings, after severe struggles in which the Repub licans showed handsome gains. Virginia was lost to Mahone by a system of terrorism which cannot long receive the endorsement of anv mar who has sympathy with the weak and helpless. The Legislature which is o elect Mahone s uccessor is Bourbon, and Virginia goes back to Bourbonism. The South is again made solid by bloodshed for the President battle. It is for theNorth to quickly determine how solid she will be. The battle of 1S3 is not only satisfactory, but gratifying to all Republicans. It gives them an equal chance in .the battle of 1884, and union will win then as it has in rhe past. The party is revived, and starts afresh with the vijror of its youth." Dedicate Co. Amercaan. A Cyclone in Maine. Lewistown. November 15. The recent gale took the form of a cy clone in Oxford and Franklin coun ties. In Bethel a house and several barns were destroyed. J. II.

A Good Portion ofShenandah, Pa. In Ashen. Shenandoah, November 13. The most destructive fire that ever visited the coal regions occurred Jiere.. yes terday afternoon. About half past t welveo'clock smoke was seen issuing from the United States Hotel, a large three etory frame structure' at the j southwest corner of Main'and Centre I streets, which was the oldest build ing in the town. Before the alarm could be sounded the building was enveloped in flames. The flames, caught by the stiff breeze, spread rapidly to the "south and communicated to trie adjoining bouses! The flames then communi cated with the block on the oppo site side of the street, and at three o'clock sixteen street . fronts were destroyed, including the United States Hotel, Odd Fellows' Hall, Academy of Music, the "Herald" office row and Opera House, ."Min ing Herald" and Saturday Evening "Neva" offices. Assistance was telegraphed ,for, which was respondend to from Potte ville, A6hlnd, Girardville, Tama qua, Mahanoy City and other plac es. ' " FAILURK OF THE WATER SUPPLY. At 1 o'clock the water supply gave out and the fire apparatus was com pelled to lie idle. Building after building succumbed to the flames, and in a remarka bly short time four squares on Main street were in ruins, comprising ma ny of the principal business houses of the town. Then the flames spread to the right and left, aided bv the wind, and in an hour and a half five more souares in the heart of the town were burned to the ground. Every assistance was rendered by the companies from the neighboring towns, but nothine could save the fated district. One hundred and forty six houses are in ruins, leaving over two hundred and fifty families homeless, losing everything and manv in destitute circumstances. The burned district is honeycombed with narrow alleys, which contained flimsv tenement house and sUbles The.residents of these alleys are the poorest classes of the Americans, roles and Hungarians, l he nouses containing the latter class were over crowded and- no idea can be formed at a distance of the destitution of the miserable people thrown out cf their homes to be dependent on the charity of their neighbors. As soon as the extent of the fire was ascertained the superintendents of the collenes suspended work and sent the miners to aid in conquering the fire and ren dering what other assistance might be needed. A miner named George Heaton, a young, married man, aged about twenty years while on his way home trom me Knickerbocker Colliery was struck by a passing enging on the Lehigh Valley railroad and had both legs severed from his body. He died while being conveyed to his home. Large Fire at Norfolk. Nokfolk, Va., November 14. A fire broke out in the warehouse of the Norfolk & Washington railroad depot to day, and rapidly extending to another freight house coasumed 7.000 bales of cotton, fifty carloads and a quantity of miscellaneous freight. The wharves of the com pany were badly damaged. The loss is estimated at $500,000. Four ttiousend bales of cotton in the depot were consigned to the Merchants and Miners transporta tion Company, the bulk to be ship ped to Boston to morrow. 1 he steamer uaston. troni liiuumore, had just unloaded a large quantity of freight for the Virginia, Tennessee fc Georgia Air Line and all was con sumed. A large lot of Peruvian guano was stored in the warehouse for shipment by the same line, and that with a large quantity of walnut lumber and all other freight in both warehouses and on the wharves were destroyed.- Hundreds of bales of cotton and boxes of miscellaneous freight floated down the river and was carried out with the tide. The water front was lined with tugboats helping to subdue the conflagration, which at one time threatened to de stroy everything in that part of the city. Two frame buildings half a mile in the suburbs in the direction ofthe wind were burned. Several men were painfully, but not danger ously injured, lhe cause ot the hre is unknown. It is stated that the loss will exceed $250,000: insured, The business of the Norfolk & Wes tern Railroad Company will suffer no interruption. ' ! 1 UJWT Murdered at A Wedding FeaM. Newbern, November 15. A fatal tieht occurred last msht at a wedding in Carrituck, Hyde County this state. Uharles Credle, a pros perous young cotton planter, was married to one of the belles of the county. The occasion was expected to be a joyous one. 1 he young peo ple invited their friends from all the country side to be present and wit ness the nuptials, for which elabor ated preparations had been made. The ceremony took place at 8 p. M. clock. The whole company retired to the spacious, old fashioned din ing room,and partook of a generous feast prepared by the bride's parents. Some of the young men indulged rather too freely in wine, which ex cited them, and a misunderstanding took place about the dance which was to follow the wedding re past. Hot words passed between several ofthe revellers, which resulted in a fight. Pistols were drawn and sev eral shots were fired. Charles Bal lance, the groom's" best "man, was killed andThomas Sidan, another of the groomsmen, received , a wound which will, it is believed, prove mor tal. The fight did not last three min utes but during that time half a dozen shots were fired and the room clear ed of. the revellers The wounded man was tenderly cared for by the young married csqple, who sat up all night and watched over him. The dead body of young Ballance was removed to an upper room in lhe bouse, until an investigation can be had by the authorities. A Cleyelaed fcteel work to Sjhat Down. Cleveland, November J5.

The train was two hours late, owing to a wreck on the main line. , . . ' The citizens of Bradford, who had been apprised by telegraph of the approach of. General Grant, made elaborated arrangements for his . re ception. One ot the features was to have been the ' shooting" of an oil well, but, as the General had little time to spare, the best part of the programme could not be carried out. , General Grant and party left New York last ninht to pay a visit to the wonderful Kinzua Viaduct, the high est railroad bridge in the world. It is 2050 feet long, 301 feet high, and is built throughout of iron. It is located fifteen miles South of Brad ford, on the line yf the Erie Rail road. WELCOMED TO THE OIL REGION. : Mayor James Broder, Senator Lewis Emery and other prominent citizens met the party at the depot. Mayor Broder, in a brief speech, welcomed General Grant and his friends to the oil regions. The Gen eral came out on the platform and shook hands with over 1000 people. Among the number was a tall and very stout man, weighing fully 300 pounds, who forced his way through the throng like a staunch vessel cleaves the sea. This was Ed. Suth erland. His right thumb is short and stubby, having been cut off. He has a large hand, and its he grasped the General's outstretched palm, he gave it such a grip as it had probably never before experienced. The stub sank into the worrior's flesh. Gen eral Grant's face became crimson, and he fairly groaned with pain. His eyes followed Sutherland through the crowd with a baleful glare. He was terribly mortified and annoyed. A citizen endeavored to nnolntm.A for the fellow's conduct. Grant re plied : "Well, when I shake hands with a thousand people, I can't stop to examine their lands." AT THE KINZfA VIADUCT. After the hand-shaking afiliction was over the social train moved on to its final destination. The dav was cold ; it was especially cold at the briJge, the valley being covered with two feet of snow. General Grant walked to the highest point on the bridge and leaned over the hand railing. He looked down the dizzv height and, removing his ciaar. said to Mayor Edson: "Surely there is not a more wonderful bridge in all the world than this one." Blowiag Great Gales. Chicago, Nov. 15. The schooner Driver, with the survivors of the wrecked steam barge Akeley on board, was sighted far out in the lake yesterday, making signals of distress. She wan towed in port late in the day. The story of the wreck of the Akeley, learned from one ofthe sur vivors, is as ioliows : The Akeley lft Chicago for Buffa lo on Sunday morning with 6,000 bushels of wheat. In the morninsr. when off Racine, she fell in with the tug Protection in distress, and learned of the fate of the schooner Arab. A line was thrown to the tug, and the pair kept company through the great gale of Sunday. The cargo of the Akeley shifted on Monday afternoon she was at the mercy of . the waves. Her , smoke stack and part of her upper works went overboard and she began to leak. The Protection, to relieve her, cut loose and they parted company. The crew set to work and righted thecargo,but the smoke-stack being gone, the engines would not work and she lay in the trough of the sea and finally filled and sank. The last seen ol Captain Stretch he' was floating on a bucket rack, but there is but little doubt that he has been lost. The schooner Driver hove in sight in time to pick up the survivor?, who were greatly ex hausted. Firi!!- I'pou a Wreelced Train. Panama, November, 12. Galves ton.

Yes terday bis friends came to this city to bur ucoiud in which to bury nis remains. He A'as a sewinz machine operalur."and had been employed on a leng job making overalls. He worked at home and lived happily wil l his family. For a long time he had been talking about his approach ing tleathbut a h was in, excel len t health, little attention was paid to nim'.f ' f i ? One day last week he asked a neighbor to take to town some work he dad been doing. "Shall I bring down some work for you ?" asked the man. 4 'No," Cook replied. "I have done all the work I shall ever do." Al the Sunday morning meal he remarked sadly, "I shall never eat another breakfast with you." He vss in his usual good health, and in th! afternoon he went out for a walk with his grandchildren. Returning to the house he calmly announced th.it he would prepare himself for bis coffin, and that he was ready to niet his Maker. He shaved himself carelullv and put on clean clothes He called for a spread, and lying down upon the lounge he drew a comforter about him, and apparently eettled himself for a nap. His wife and family gathered about him, he bidding them all good by. They were impressed by his gentle earnestness, but had no idea of his dying. They believed he had given too much attention to religious subjects, and that this whim as the result. Mr. Cook lay with his cheek resting on one hand" and with his other arm by his side, lu that po sition he seemed to fall asleep. His friends saw no change in him. At tea time they tried to wake him. He waB breathing softly, but they could not rouso him. He sank into a deeper stupor. They worked over him all night, and a physician was ealled. but it availed nothing. Early yesterday morning he died' He had made no movement after ho first closed his eyes. Those who were with him scout tht idea of his hav ing taken drugs. Thev say that sui cide never ec.tered his thoughts, that he was simply willing to die because he thought i; was God's will. Those who have investigated the case re gard it as a simple surrender of vital power. Brutal llobtx-ry. Denver. November 15. One of the most brutal robberies that ever occurred in Colorado, was enacted at Petersburg Grove, seven miles from this city, last night. At that place resiled an old bachelor, Peter Olsen, who usually kept small suu,s of money hid about the premises. Last night four disguised men went to the house and knocked, as is customary in the country. The farmer asked tlie visitors to come in. As soon as all were inside the door they seized Olsen, threw him on the floor .nd held him, and then de manded u know where his money wa.-. He replied be had none. Af ter thoroughly searching the house to no purpose, Olsen still refused to tell where the money was hid, the robbers got willow switches and whipped his bare feet and legs until covered with blood. Still refusing, they built a large fire in the back yard, carried Olsen out and proceed ed to execute their threat to roast him alive. They placed his feet in the fire and literally roasted them. Even after this terrible treat ment he would not open his mouth. The old man was then compelled to walk back to the house, where a scuflle ensued, during which the stove was overturned, disclosing the money box containing $000, which the robbers took and decamped. No clue. 01en will probably recover. Yuimk Null's Defense. Uxio.vrow.v, November 15. Major Brown and Marshal Schwartz welder of Pittsburg, who will assist in de fending young James Nutt for the killing of Dukes, have been in town consulting with the local counsel as to matters pertaining to the defense. Nothing ha9 been given out concern ing the line to be pursued by the defense. The counsel for the Com monwealth seem to take it for grant ed, howeyer, that the plea will be insanity, as they are known to be subpoenaing witnesses to testify as to young Nutt's mental condition. Some of the teachers under whom he was a pupil in the public schools have been summoned to appear. The overwhelming defeat of Sea right, Dukes' political champion, is regard ed ad an expression of public senti ment that will not injure Nutt's chances any. The trial comes up the 1st of December.
