Morton, the Democratic editor of
Augusta, Maine, who gave currency
to the beastly stories about Mr.

The eight thousand miners along
the Monongahela river who are out

are much encouraged by the fact
that three of the proprietors in the

railroads will also demand the same
pay, and will strike if it is not con
ceded to them.

When the miners of Rock Springs,
Wyoming Territory, made their
murderous attack on the Chinese
some days ago, they did not think,
probably, that the result would be
especially serious to themselves.
But the official representatives of the
Chinese in America, who are pur
suing the investigation of the affairs
with characteristic patience, declare
that they will compel the Federal
courts to try the ringleaders and
punish them. It may be an un
pleasant day for the attacking min
ers it the Federal courts ever do pet
grip on ti.em. Federal justice
generally makes shorter work with
malefactors then State or Territorial
courts.
Not content with its efforts to pre
vent the bunding of the bouth
Pennsylvania railroad, it is now
said that an effort is being made by
the P. Ii. It. to establish harmonious
relations with the Reading railroad,
so as to prevent any competition
between them for the anthracite coal
trade. It is to be hoped that the
rumor is true, for a homeopathic
dose of this same medicine to the
eastern part of the State will only
serve to arouse the people of that
section to the necessity of standing
by their outraged brethren of the
south and central parts of the State,
in their efforts to prevent a greedy
corporation from setting at defiance
the organic law of the State. The
Lett way to get rid of a bad law is
to enforce it strictly, and the best
way to get rid of grasping monopoly
in Pennsylvania is to attempt a few
more consolidations,
The publishers of Grant's book
have got into a snarl with certain of
their agents which threatens to be
serious in its consequences growing
out of the delay in bringing it out.
The first volume is to be out in De
cember and the second in March
following. The delay is a long one,
and it would be very difficult to
sustain public interest in any book
for that length of time. But it is
the more difficult to do so in the
case of Grant's since there have been
numerous cheap publications to tell
the story of his life issued since his
1 i!eath by houses which deal in sub
scription books only. These have
clutted the market The price of
tho Grant book and discount to
agents have interposed another ob
stacle to large sales, and altogether
there is an unpromising state of
things, at least this is the represen
tation on one side.
Jcdge Mekakd has just decided
the famous Sharpsville school case,
in which the right to use the Bible
in the public schools was involved,
in a manner that will probably fur
nish an authority for quotation in
all future suits where this question
is raised. He holds that it is com
petent for the community to tax its
citizens for the support of institu
tions in which the Bible is used, be
cause it is to the community's inter
est to teach morality as a means to
safety and stability ; that the Bible
is admittedly in the front rank of
books which may be used for mor
al instruction, and that Bome Eng
lish veraion of the Bible must be
used in schools where English is
spoken, consequently the mast gen
erally aweoted version may be chos
en. Il was ruled in the Girard Col
lege case that the Bible is not sec
tarian in a legal tense, and Judge
Mehard takes the broad ground that
public recognition of the Christian
religion as a means to morality and
order as ends are not inconsistent
with religious liberty. As the plain
tiffs in the Sharpsville case will ap
peal, it remains to be seen whether
the Supreme Court will confirm the
position taken by the Mercei county
bench.
The second letter of ex-Chief Jus
tice Agnew, published in another
column, makes it as clear as a pike
staff that the Pennsylvania Railroad
company cannot legally either pur
chase, control or operate, either by
itself or through others, the South
Penna. Road. Neither has it a right
to finish and operate it under the
claim that it is but adding two ad
ditional tracks to its road. The
learned Judge also asserts that the
Pennsylvania road cannot purchase
and abaudon it, which is undoubt
edly the real purpose of the con
spiracy. But while this is sound
law, and will, we think, be held bo
by the courts, yetit is a palpable
fact that the conspirators have suc
ceeded in having work on the South
Penn suspended, if not absolutely
abandoned, and thus the object of
the Pennsylvania railroad to pre
vent the building of a competing
line has already been accomplish
ed. It is true that the abandonment
of the line by Vanderbilt and his
colleagues and the dissolution of the
South Penn railroad company, will '
work a forfeiture of the charter, and
a new company may be organized
that can take possession of the on
finished work, but this involves a
delay of years, and thus the aim of
the monopolists will be secured for
a term of yean, during which they
can hatch further plots to delay and
hinder the work, and set -at naught
the constitution and laws of the
State.
"Behold how sweet and how
pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity," applies to all
people and places save the Philadel
phia Democrats, when even an over
whelming Republican majority can
not keep the hands of the brethren
out of each other' hair. The Time
publishes an advertisement threat-
ening tne supporters oi unaries
Benton, one of the candidates for the
shrievalty nomination after this fash
ion : "The men who are identified
with the Benton boom are to be
blacklisted if they persist in the
Convention in nominating Benton."
The Record, gets right np on its
hind feet and howls at this, and
hurls its defiance at Messrs Randall,
Harrity & Co., this way :
Let the black-list be beaded with The
Record and its owner, for they are both for
Benton, win or lose. The charge that ad
vocacy of Mr. Benton is in the interest of
11 r. liowan it a false as to say that the ad
vocacy of Sir. Day is in the interest of Mr.
Quay." Any one who makes snch a charge
is either too dumb to understand or too
ranch of a car to tell the truth. It is early
in the life of the National Administration
for its henchmen to attempt to put sharkles
on the party, and such a course is particu
larly pnsmuiitaoiu and insulting wnen mi
ni in the interest of an Administration
whose policy seems to be to obstruct the
Democracy.
Why this unseeming wrangle
brethren? Rowan will be elected
despite the influence of the Admin
istration, so it isn't worth losing any
sleep over who will be the demo
cratic nominee.
Well done. Good and Faithful Servant
Meadvtlls Dally Tribune.
The figures prove that the losses
under the last Republican adminis
tration averaged but one and eight
tenths mills to a thousand dollars.
At the turning over of its twenty-
four -year trust to Democrat officials
the monev was counted and the
books balanced and every penny
was found on hand precisely as re
ported. YVas there ever more sub
stantial evidence of the unswerving
integrity and faithfulness of public
officials than the facts we have men
tioned? It is a noticeable fact that
since tne counting up and handing
over of the funds by the Republi
cans the cry of "turn the rascals out"
has chanced, and now there comes
gurgling up, "put the rascals in."
One thing is very evident, the coun
try is satisfied with the honor and
fidelity of the party that bat
tled for the Union, and if the elec
tion was to come off again in this
year of grace, 1SS5, we feel that we
hazard nothing in saving that a Re
publican President would be unan
imously chosen. The Democrats by
their charges of dishonesty upon the
Kepublicans.haye placed themselves
in a position where their acts
will be narrowly watched by the
people and they will be held to a
rigid responsibility of their steward
ship ; anything short of the Repub
lican record will not be satisfactory,
and it remains to be seen what a fi
nal accounting by Mr. Cleveland's
administration will reveal.
The Copperhead on Top.
Marsaalltowa, Oa.. Statesman (Den.)
Yes, gentlemen, loyalists, you pat
riotic members of the home guards
whose thirst for blood grows greater
as the years make the war still more
and more a memory, the "Copper
head" party is on top in this coun
try. It holds the House of Congress
by a big majority. Its chosen lead
er and his "Copperhead" advisers
are daily ousting from office and po
sition the possessors of the tongues
whose idea of politics is to hiss
"Copperhead" as their political mas
ters go by. The sting of the taunt
is killed by the salve of success.
Hiss away, you little creatures ! You
have "Copperheaded" the Demo
cratic party into power. To yell
"Copperhead" with the mouth and
steal from the Treasury with both
hands has been the chief practice of
the "loil." Only half of their occu
pation is now left, and Democrats,
having compelled them to stop the
other half, contemplate with com
placency the puerile rage tt at keeps
up the old, worn party cry.
The Bloody Shirt.
Richmond Letter to ClaetimatlOoaimarrlal (Rep.)

heads and the little bunch of tabby

Then all sit down, fan themselves
and nod approvingly to one another.

and then all reseat themselves and

smashed Foraker pretty flat then,
didn't we?"
A sunken Fores.
Kenosha, Sept 20. It is said by
fishermen who ply their avocation
off this port that a forest of consid
erable dimensions exists in the bot
tom of Lake Michigan, about five
miles distant from this city. Some
years ago it was the custom of
the fishermen of this place to cast
their nets nearer shore, but aa the
fish gradually became less plentiful
the fishermen moved further out
until they encountered the forest' of
trees mentioned, and it effectually
stopped thero from casting their
nets there. Repeated experiments
fixed the further boundary line of
the timber something near twenty '
miles from shore, to which distance
they now go to cast their nets. It
is stated that tree have been known
to wash ashore that have evidence
of having remained under water for
centuries. They were in a perfect
state of preservation at first but
Terr soon decayed after exposure to
the atmosphere. The wood, too,
was of a kind entirely unknown in
this country or anywhere oa the
lake.
A TINT BUIjIiET
fro at atnea Stewart' Revolver Knd
the Life orCooper Percy mt Dawson.
Pittsburg, Sept 21. Late on Sat
urday night Cooper Percy, an engin
eer on the Pittsburg, McKeesnort
and Youghiogheny Railroad,"was
shot by James Stewart,: weichmas
ter for the same road, at Dawson
station. Percy only lived about 30
minutes after the shooting. The
principals in the affair have always
been good friends until about a
week ago, when both ran for the
samo office , in a lodge... Percy was
elected by a large majority, and
Stewart was badly disappointed.
On th6 night of the tragedy the men
were at their work near the railroad
station at Dawson, when they be
came involved in a discussion over
the resent lodge election. Stewart
finally became angered, and draw
ing a revolver from his hip pocket,
he fired without giving an instant's
notice of his murderous intention.
The victim threw up his hands and
fell over backward, only utteting
one sharp cry. The employes of the
roaa, wno were in me vicinity ,aearu
the shot and rushed to the place
where Percy was lving. Medical
aid was at once summoned, but it
was evident from the first that the
wounded
MAN COULD NOT LIVE.
He remained in a semi-conscious
state for 30 minutes, when his life
passed away. Whea Stewart saw
what he done he stood for a minute
as though stunned. Then placing
the revolver in his coat pocket he
started to walk quickly up the rail
road track. He was soon overtaken
by the constable of the town and
placed under arrest The news of
the shooting spread like wildfire
over the little town, and it was only
a short time until a crowd of several
hundred had gathered about the
depot A number of the more ad
venturous talked loudly of lynching.
The feeling against Stewart finally
became so strong, and the demon
strations so ominous, that it became
necessary to remove the prisoner to
the jail at Uniontown. Procuring a
buggy, the constable left the town
with his prisoner by the back streets.
The prisoner's life was probably
saved by this action, as' about mid
night a gang of men from Connells
ville invaded the town and clamor
ed for Stewart's blood.
Jumbo Killed.
St. Thomas. Ont,Sept 16. About
9 o'clock last night, as Barn urn's el
ephant Jumbo and the little trick el
ephant Tom Thumb were being tak
en along the track on the way from
the show grounds to be loaded in
the car, a freight train came up un
expectedly and caught and killed
Jumbo aud broke one ot the trick
elephant's legs. There was a side
track on the north side of the main
track which contained all of Bar
num's empty cars and on either side
there was an embankment about 8
or 10 feet high. When the keeper
saw the train coming he tried to get
Jumbo down the embankment at the
south side, but Jumbo refused to go.
He then attempted to get him be
tween the side track and main line,
but only partially succeeded. The
locomotive dashed into Jumbo just
as his fore-leg had left the track,
striking him in the right side ana
crowding him against the cars on
the siding. He was carried with the
engine about 100 yards. He was so
tightly wedged that be crowded the
locomotive to the south bide, throw
ing it off the track. He lived about
three minutes.
Jumbo was purchased by Mr. Bar
num of the London Zoological Soci
ety in the spring of 1882. He stood
eleven feet high at the shoulder, and
could take down a biscuit from a
height of twenty-five feet Jumbo
was about 24 years old, and was val
ued at 300,000.
Defying Judge Wnile.
Indiana, Sept 17. At the June
court Judge Harry White refused all
applications for license to sell strong
drink, and from then until Monday
last illicit liquor sellers were numer
ous in town. On Monday, after
having received assurances of sup
port fro ei the State Liquor league,
the Derr Brothers, proprietors of the
House, began selling whisky and
beer over the bar to all comers.
Their bold action and tbur claim
that Judge White erred iu refusing
license seems to have paralyzed the
active temperance people, and no
action has been taken to stop the
traffic.
The house is thronged at all hours,
but there is no disorder. Judge
White has made no effort to stop
the illicit traffic. The constables
who enter the house are afforded no
opportunity to see the selling, and
consequently can make no return.
This is the most open and notorious
illegal selling of liquor known in
the State. The Derrs are young
men. They profess to have influen
tial backing, and are prepared to
meet any charges preferred against
them.
Horrible Wore of Chinese.
San Francisco, Cal Sept 15.
A horrible discovery was made in
Chinatown to dav. Information hav
ing reached the City Coroner that a
frightful stench was being emitted
from a cellar on Pacific street, he
went to the place, forced his way
into the cellar and found the floor
covered with human skulls and
bones partially covered with flesh
in the advanced stage of decom
position.
In an inner room the Coroner
found a number of Chinese engaged
in boiling down the remains of
other bodies, while several other
Chinaman were at work scraping
ttie boiled bones and packing tberu
in boxes for shipment for China. It
is estimated that the cellar contain
ed over three hundred dead bodies,
which have been taken secretly
from various cemeteries throughout
the State. "; . ..i ,
As an instance of Chinese ingenui
ty it is stated that those in charge of
these operations, fearing that the
stench from the boiling pots would
be so great as to attract attention
outside, had procured two living
skunks sn that the odor of the latter
might overcome that of the human
bodies. The Coroner has taken
charge of all the remains.
Big Prioea for Blooded Cattle. :
New York. Sept 16. A sale of
twenty-seven head of registered Jer
sey cattle took place yesterday at
Madison Square Garden. Nearly two
hundred herders and dealers in fan
cy stock attended the sale. . A bull
calf, son of "Black Prince of Linden,"
sold for 13,000. "Fill Pail Second,"
a four year-old cow, brought 11,000.
The boll "Black Prince of Linden"
went at 11,750; the cow "Westphal
ia" sold for f 1,100, and the cow
"Oxford Kite" sold at 3,250.
Robbed In" Opium Joints.
New York. Sept 19. One out
come of the killing of Tom Davis by
the Texan, is the disclosure ot the
before unsuspected fact that some ol
the opium dens of this city are own
ed by Americans, while seemingly
the enterprise of the Chinamen who
conduct them. The only compara
ble rival of Davis in the counterfeit
money swindle has been Barney
Maguire. Since the tragedy, the po
lice have given detective attention to
Barney, and the discovery is made
that tbo"sawdust game" is only one
of his schemes of robbery,
An agent, in disguise as a chance
visitor, went into the opium smok
ing den adjoining the corner of Mott
and Bayard streets, which is in the
Chinese quarter. It was midnight,
and the place was occupied by a
dozen revelers ; but it was evident
that some intoxicant more incitive
than opium had been taken by
them, for they were awake and fris
ky. The place was in other respects
an ordinary "joint," with bunks for
the smokers, and with Chinese at
tendants. The carousers then pre
sent were recognized at once as Bow
ery bunco operators and other sorts
of thieves familiar to the police.
One of them carelessly let the inves
tigator know that champagne had
been opened by Barney Maguire,
"the backer of the caboose."
A drunken man enticed into the
trap, had been robbed and then ejec
ted ; and out of the unusually heavy
swag Barney had ordered a sympos
ium for soma of his stool pigeons
and friends. By following up this
clue it has been learned that Ma
guire owns iour places that have
every look of genuine Chinese
"joints." His scheme is to bring
men in through the enticement of
fellows who pretend to be, like the
victims, bent on seeing the peculiar
vices of the town. Pretense is made
of inquiring out of the den, and of
difficulty in gaining admission.
Then the two smoke, and when the
dupe is unconscious, his pockets
are rifled. He discovers his loss on I
awaking, but his companion pre-1
tends to have been plundered, too,
and ihey conclude that to make any
reports to the police would expose
them to ridicule. In this way rob
beries have been committed in the
mock opium resorts very extensive

Montreal's Great Peril.
Montreal, Sept. 17. The death
rate from smallpox to-day was the their fists as he passed through,
greatest since the outbreak, forty-j They injured the little fellow so bad
two French Canadians falling vie-; ly in the region of the kidneys that
tims to the scourge. The contagion j he died in great agony to-day. No
is spreading at an alarming rate. At ' action has been taken in the matter.
a meeting ot the iioaru ot Health
to-day, it was resolved to endeavor
by providing forfamilits attacked,
and by furnishing the best hospital
accommodations, to prevail on them
to isolate themselves and if by the
end of the week this was not done
to force compulsory isolation. A
French Canadian member of the
board intimated that if this was at
tempted a riot would ensue. The
number of cases is so alarming that
the authorities refuse to furnish in
formation to the press.
The widespread nature of the dis
ease is strongly shown by an inci
dent that occurred to-day in one of
the high courts of justice. The
Criminal Court was trying a man for
killing a police constable in a street
row. The jury had been sworn in,
and half the testimony had been
taken, when the officials of the Pro
vincial Board entered the court and
announced to Mr. C. P. Davidson,
Q. C. an eminent lawyer, who rep
resents the Crown, that one of the
jurors named Guiliruette had con
fluent smallpox in his household.
They demanded that he be imme
diately isolated, as his presence
among the other jurors would be a
sure means of spreading the scourge.
The Judge held a hasty consultation
with Mr. Davidson, and they finally
agreed that in the interest of society
the jury should be discharged. The
whole court room and the eleven
jurors were thoroughly fumigated.
New York Counterfeit BUI swindle.
New York, Sept. 18. William
Curtis, a coarse-looking negro, was
brought to police headquarters to
day. He was charged with being
implicated in a sawdust swindle of
which H. J. Severance, of Adams,
Monica county, Minn., was the in
tended victim. The real plotters
escaped, and only their tool, the ne
gro, fell into the hands of the police.
Mr. Severance got letters at his
house offering to sell counterfeit
money. These letters were signed
John Kelleher, of New York. Mr.
Severance came on here, accord
ing to Kelleher's instructions, even
following out the route laid down for
him by Kelleher. Oil arriving here
he was to put up at the Ashland
House under an assumed name.
Mr. Severance followed out these
instructions, but notified the police,
and detectives were placed in the
room adjoining his, Curtis came to
the hotel, inspected the register and
then went up to Severance' room,
where he presented a letter purport
ing to be from Kelleher. Curtis,
who is a runner for Barney McGuire,
one of the leaders in the counterfeit
bill swindle, was sent to prison for
six months.

banking establishment of Ex-Senator
James H. Loom is and son, at
Attica, Wyoming county, reached
the banking office at half-past eight
o'clock in order to open it for the

at the bank the day before. On en

j of the fellow, but opened the safe,
placing all of the money in a draw
er but a bunch of eight hundred
dollars in bills. While he was thus
engaged the fellow came behind the
counter and, raising a club, struck
him over the head, 't he second blow
felled him to the floor. The des
perado then drew a self-cocking re
volver and aiming it at Barross was
about to shoot, when Barross said :
"f or God s sake, don t shoot : take
the money if you want it" He shot
however, and Barross, by a quick
as move he pulled the triggenavoided
the shot, which entered the floor at
his side. Grabbing the eight hun
dred dollars the thief was about to
decamp when Andrew J. Lorish,
the Postmaster, who, in descend
ing the stairs from his law office
nearly over the bank, heard the
shot came rushing into the door.
The thief, was coming out, order
ed him to stand aside, which he did
but as he went to pass him Lorish
grabbed the hand containing the re
volver. A long tussle ensued, in
which Lorish got the best of his an
tagonist lhe cries of murder by
Barross brought a Mr. Briggs to the
rescue and the robber was hand
cuffed. He gave his namf as John
Smith. This is all the information
that can be gained from him. In
jail here he is cool and non-committal.
He looks to be the desper
ate character he has proven him
self to be.
IJled froiu loo much Hazing.
Hazleton, Sept 19. A young
son of Edward Turnbach died here
to-day from the effects of a hazing
received last Wednesday at the
hands of several of hi schoolmates.
The scholars of a public school, to
which young Turnbach had ius-t
been admitted, make a practice of
initiating new scholars by making
them run the gauntlet through two
lines of ten to twenty boys on each
side, they punched the victim with
but it is likely an investigation will
be made by the school authorities.
Tramp Shot and Killed.
Newark, N. Y., Sept. 19-Ed-ward
Cahill, a tramp, was shot and
almost instantly killed this morning
by John Maguire, a watchman in
the employ of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, near the,Waver
ly Hotel, Clinton township. Cihill

just below the left shoulder, inflict
ing a wound from which he died in
a few minutes.
Wrecking a Bank.
Erie, Pa., Sept 15. The trial of
President Adam Brabender to-day
for wrecking the Erie County Sav
ings Bank reveals the most gigantic
frauds in connection with the bank's
history. The institution did busi
ness for several years with a quarter
of a million dollars' deficit. The
president and the cashier, R. Petit,
now a fugitive and a flourishing
merchant in Canada, had a tele
phone in a closet and there commu
nicated with a broker and gambled
over $100,000 of the bank's money
away in oil and grain margins. They
finally wound up by checking out
all the money deposited during the
bank's last days in favor of their
relatives and then both fled the
country. The wronged depositors
are holding a public indignation
meeting to-night

was the victim of foul play.
The Crop to the Great Corn Growing
States.
Chicago, Sept 17. Reports from
all the great corn growing States

tion and so well matured as to be
out of much danger from the frost.
In Indiana it is above the average,

braska it promises to be the greatest
known, in Kansas it is estimated at
190,000,000 bushels, or about the
same as last year; in Wisconsin it
is fair, in some parts of Missouri it
was never belter, and in Ohio flat
tering. ;
