The Democracy of this State is all
" cut up " by internecine feuds, and
it begins to look as if the day of iu
dual disintegration was rapidly ap
proaching, la the first place the
Pennsylvania Democrats Lave been
insultingly snubbed iu the make-up
of the House at Washington, They
have but one chairmanship, in the
hands of Mr. Randall and that hat
Vten shorn of much of its influence
nnd importance. Henry Wattereon,
editor of the lea Jing Southern Dem
ocratic paper ue Louisville Covr-ier-Jwrnal
some time since coun-
nulled his brethren to "let Pennsyl
vania go to the devil" nd it looks
very much as if Speaker uanisie,
from his own State, and his followers
had concluded to follow bis advice.
solid South with two or three ot
the Western States can control the
Democratic party, and possibly the
country, and to this end it seems as
the Southern Democrats were
bending their energies. 1 hey tmna
they can get along without Pennsyl
vania, or they would not have aarea
treat her with so much contumely,
enub her representatives, and band
t t, Ja.nut
over tne cnarge i uc u.w.
and most vital interest to a Free
trade committee. Hereafter Penn-
f vlvania is to be treated as an anti
quated step sister, of but little ac
count and of no further use.
Buffeted and cast aside by the
South, whom they have heretofore
eerved bo well, the insulted and dis
carded Democratic leaders in this
State have fallen to quarreling
.mom? themselves : the old abace
nd Randall factions have dug up
the batchet, knives have been sharp
ened, and they are feeling for each
other's scalps with murderous and
bloodthirsty animosity. Landau
and bis followers are accused of hav
ing controlled and manipulated the
Presidential patronage in tins oiaie
to the almost entire exclusion of the
Wallace men ; while Scott, of Erie,
whose lone purse, it is charged, pro
cured him a seat in Congress, and
who is an ally of Randall, openly
asserts that Wallace is a traitor to
his party, betrayed Randall in the
last Chicago Convention, and was
opposed to the last, to Cleveland s
nomination.
So among the lesser lights of the
... a jL.i TT 1
part", it 18 auegea in&i utum
Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee, "gave points" to the Re
publican adversary in the late cam
paigns, which he so disastrously
controlled, and a determined effort
is being made to unhorse him from
the chairmanship at the coming
meeting of the State Committee on
the 20th inst. It is further alleged
that the Slate administration is ar
rayed against Randall's cohorts and
his henchman Hensel, and that its
power will be exerted for bis over
throw. There is a score of minor
things working under the surface,
numberless petty local jealousies,
and a general cut-throat feeling
among would-be leaders that por
tends speedy disruption to the once
great and proud Democratic party
of Pennsylvania.
We do not propose threshing over
old straw, merely to gratify the Com
mercial' desire for controversy. We
have given our views of the condi
tion of the party organization under
the rules, and we have sustained our
position by ample quotations from
the rules themselves. If the Com
mercial could even nearly approach
the spirit of fairness which it is con
strained to concede the Herald has
shown, it would admit that it was
mistaken, and there the end of it.
But declining to be fair, and unable
to gainsay the application we have
made of the rules to the subject
matter, it attempts to evade the
point by childishly repeating that
Mr. Scott was elected chairman for
a year in February, 1S84, that he
was not re-elected in July, 1884, and
inviting us to sustain our allegation
that be was elected in July by refer
ence to our files of that date. Evi
dently the file of the Herald had
been examined, and as it is silent
on that point, the Commercinl hug
ged itself with the delusion that it
i'had us." This is but the quibble
of a email pettifocger. There is a
living w itness.in the shape of a com
mitteeman in each township and
borough of the county. Many if not
all of these voted for Mr. Scott's re
election in July, 1884, all cooperated
with him as chairman in the cam
paign, and the Commercial repeat
edly acknowledged him as such, up
until it suited its purpose to deny it
during the last campaign. On the
other hand the Commercial cannot
sustain its allegation by a particle
of proof, that Mr. Scott was elected
Chairman in February, 1S34. for
year, and even if it could, the com
mittee plainly exceeded its powers.
It could only elect for the remain
der of its term, which ended with
June, 1884, and could not bind its
successors by any other action. Un
der the uev ruig each Committee
elects its own chairman. Then why
all this attempt at hair-spliuUng by
the Commercial, if not solely for the
purpose of distracting the voters by
coulroversy? We agree with its
clairti that the chairman " utaj9t to futertaiu the guesK li is

the last committee was elected injunyhave precipitated tne fatal at-

latter holds over until his successor

sy on this question, so far as the
Herald is concerned. We propose
in the future to address ourselves to
the remedy for thu uaivward state
of affairs.
As a matter of great local interest
we publish io full on the adjoining
page, the opinion of the Court at
Haxrisburgin the South Pennsylva
nia Railroad case.
The decision of Judge Simonton
in brief is tbsi the South Penn is a
parallel line to ikfi Pennsylvania
road while being .constructed, and
when completed will be a competing
line; theiejbre it cannot constitu
tionally be owned and operated by
the Pennsylvania roadnd that what
that road can cot do direct!? it can
not do indirectly, by purchasing or
procuring title under the guise or
name of one of its lines which does
not parallel it Incidentally the
Judge also decide, that, .bndi-
viauau BWCMOiaera cannot be re-
Binuneu iroia paruog wiia mexri
stock to whom they please, in the
open market, yet a combination to
sell for the express purpose of enab
ling tbem to abandon the rights and
duties imposed upon them by their
charter, and of putting the control
of their corporation into the hands
of its rivals, is iu violatiou of public
policy and cannot legally be
-.r.tt tof
v. . i
The opinion appears to us to be j
founded on such sound principles,
that we do not think it will be set
aside by the Supreme Court, to which
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
threaten to appeal. This decision jduct tQ-ny one who wil! take the
is of vast importance, because it set- j trouble to pay him a visit. He was
ties the fact that the people have seen yesterday on the way to the
rights under the Constitution which , house from the barn.carryi'nga bun
"... ,, ..m:h Idle of corn fodder and a bucket of
corporation!", ut iurjr cci
ty, are bound to respect It is a
long step forward towards the com
pletion of a line through this portion
of the State, but it does not by any
means assure the epeedy completion
of the South Penn road. There
are years of litigation yet ahead, if
iU great rival so wills it, beside the
innumerable ways bett known to
corporations of worrying the life out
of opponents or dreaded rivals. On
the other hand, great railroads are
always very chary of having leading,
circumscribing or controlling decis
ions made against tnem, and tne
Pennsylvania people will think
twice before they decide to rik fur
ther Ugal proceedings, and will pos
sibly conclude that their better plan
will be to fiht a rival line, rather
than have their future closely boun
ded and circumscribed by the courts.
Be that as it may, however, the
effect of this decision will be most
wholesome and its moral effect ben
eficial, and while it can do nothing
towards compelling the stockholders
of the South Penn road to complete
its line, it is probable that it will
induce the resumption of the work
by the present corporation, or by
others who will take their places be
fore long. On the whole, the out
look for the ultimate completion of
the South Pennsylvania road is
much more rosy than it has been
for many months past, and we con
gratulate the people of this county
on that fact.
Fob weeks the Commercial has
been charging by innuendo, that
Chuiiman Scott had not properly ac
counted for the funds in his hand?,
although it well knew that his ac
counts had been audited and passed
upon by a committee, a member of
which is an associate editor of that1
journal. Last week Mr. Scott pub
lished in the Herald and the rimes
a card embracing the finding of the
auditing committee, "the Chair
man's accounts are true and correct
in. every jiartictdar; that he has kept
a close and accurate account of all
moneys received, and has properly
and judiciously crpendrd the sum
of 81)79,00, leaving a balance of
430." This exhibit would have
carried shame to the heart of an
honorable man, and he would have
at once apologized for the irjury
done. Not so with the Commercial
it in cock-a-whoop style cries, "Be
hold our achievement! We have
called a man a rascal until we com
pelled him to prove himself honest."
It then proceeds to compare the ex
penses of a campaign carried on by
Josiah Keller, Eq., as Chairman,
with those of :he last campaign, still
intimating that Mr. Scott misused
the fund. It well knows that Mr.
Keller paid one man in each pre
cinct for holding the primary, where
as under the new rules, Mr. Scott
paid five, and that he also had to
pay for the cards of candidates an
nouncing their candidacy, and all
the tickets and election blanks used,
which was not done by Mr. Keller.
"It is a dirty bird that befouls its
own nest," and in attempting to
wound Mr. Scott the editor of the
Commercial only brings shame and
discredit to the door of its most wor
thy and esteemed co-editor, who as
a member of the auditing committee,
certified to the correct aud judicious
msnner iu which Mr. Scott expend
ed the fund that came into his
hands.

The man, is perfectly sane, and
wi'liugly explains his strange con-
chop which he took up stairs and
deposited on the foot of the bed for
his favorite milk producer. Upon
being questioned the man related
his story in substance about as fol

"Awaking in the early hours of
the morning, long before daylight.
the owner of the cow, the cat and
the dog bestirred hinvelf, and.jump-
ing out ot bed, ran downstairs tor
the purpose of raking the fire which
was permitted to burn all night.
He bad nothing on but bis night
thirt, and when he reached the bot
tom of the stairs wa horrified to
find his lower extremities in water
to the knees. It is needless to say
that he turned suddenly and groped
for the stairs. Producing a lamp,
he returned and casting around a
look, the cat and the dog were die
covered quietry rooming on the stove,
both wearing very disconsolate
countenance. About two feet of
watr covered the floor. A raft was
hastily constructed, uion which the
owner propelled hiinstlf out to the
barn to look after the cow. The
animal was standing in her stall,
with nothing but her nose above the
witter. The tie strap was hastily
loosened and the imprisoned ani
mal rescued, bing led through the
water to the house nnd into the
kitchen. Upon entering this room,
the animal obf-erved the door of the
stairway, which was standing open,
and, forthwith bolted through it. She
squeezed up the crooked stairway
and into the front room, where she
vet remains, and how she will ever
be gotten out is a mystery."

Compromising with Burglar.
Allentowji, Jan. 15. On the
night of December 29 the residence
of David Musselman, near Vera
Crux, this county, was broken into
by a masked man. Musselman and
his wife, who were the only occu
pants, are both eighty years of age
and are reported wealthy. The
aged couple heard the robber break
ing in the cellar door, but made no
outcry. They are a devot. a coup'e
and belong to the MennotUe church.
Presently the bed room door open
ed and before them stood a big, bur
ly man, with his face mat-ked and
having an uplifted axe in bis hands.
Mrs. Musselman. addressed the bur-(
glar. paying : "We do not fear you
God is stronger than you
The intruder demanded S-30, but
the old man refused to band it over.
Then $30 demanded, but still Mr.
Musselman refused. The matter
was finally compromised by Mus
selman banding over two dollars'.
The burglar then left with the threat
that if he was exposed he would
burn down the house. Before leav
ing, however, the man searched the
other rooms, but found only a purse
icoctaining two dollars, which he
took along.
When next day news of the out
rage reached Vera Cruz the villagers
became greatly excited and a meet
ing was held to devise means to ef
fect the arrest of the robber. Mr.
and Mrs. Musselman, when ques
tioned about the matter, refused to
give any information whatever, sim
ply saying "Hallelujah" to all ques
tions. The citizens suspect a young
man of the village and gathered
whattheydeemed sufficient evidence
to warrent his arrest. Detective
Smith, of this city, was given the
case in charge and to-dav arrested
Oswin Gehmun, a yoang married
m.'in, who works in an ore mine. He
wts given a preliminary hearing and
committed to jail for a further hear

innocence and claims to be able to
establish an alibi.

Last week he disappeared from the
hotel and did not return until next
day, having spent the night some
distance from town with a farmer,
leaving his young wife in an agony
of fear. Ou Tuesday he started for
a sail on the river, but his boat cap
sized. Returning to his holl he
changed his clothes and again went
out in a boat. This morning his
body was found on the river biuk

atile Between Mare and a Dog.
Stanley, N. J., Jan. 15. A bull
dog and a young mare belonging to
Geo. Runyon, a farmer of this place,
became engaged in a fight yesterday
in which the mare succeeded after a
hard battle in killing her adversary.
The two animals were stable com
panions, but me mare naa a great
dislike toward the dog and worried
him in every wav she could. Yes
terday afternoon the mare broke her
halter and seizing the dog with her
teeth she began to shake it viciously.
The dog. not liking this kind of
treatment, seized its enemy by the
nose and then followed a terrible
fiht Trie dog shook itself loose
from its foe and sprang at it only to
be kicked to the end of the barn.
At last the dog succeeded in getting
a grip on the mare's nose and that
was not loosened until the larger
animal placed its forelegs on the
body and tore itself away.
A large crowd had assembled to
witness the fight, drawn by the wild
neighs and barks of the combatants.
The fight continued for about fif
teen minutes, when suddenly the
dog suuk its teeth in tne foreleg of
the mare, and in the latler'a vain
efforts to reach it with its mouth
the horse fell directly on its foe and
crushed the life out of him. Aa the
mare rose from the body of the dog
she gave a shrill neigh and turned
around and kicked the body into a
Bhapeless mass.
When Mr. Runyon 'ras informed
of the tight he went immediately to
tne barn and found bis mare lying
in its stall nearly dead from loss of
blood. The legs and neck of the
brute were terribly lacerated and its
nose was eutirely gone. It was im
possible for the animal to live, and
so she wa3 shot.

Fort Wavse. Jan 13 At 1:30
this afiernoon a terrific explosion oc
cuired in the boiler room of St. Ma
rys catholic Uburch. ine cnurcn
is a couanJete wreck. The loss will
not be less than $65,000. The air
was filled with portions of the build
ing, while the large brick chimneys
toppled and fell. The side walls
were bulged out, but did not fall.
The'mof of the Rev. Father Oechter
iiii;'d residence was completely de
molished, while the Catholic school
building immediately south of the
church, which was filled with child
ren, was terribly shaken up.
Alberta Willard, a 13-year-old
girl, was passing on her way to
school. One of the doors of the main
entrance gave way and fell, crush
ing her beneath its weight, killing
her instantly.
A lire started up in the ruins, but
was extinguished in an hour. The
blackened, mangled body of the en
gineer, Anthony Evans, was found
in the debris. The top of his head
was blown off, and his legs and arms
were broken in half a dozen places.
The shock of the explosion was dis
tinctly heard all over the city, and

Iiost a Hand to Save Her Children.
Woomsocket, Dakota, Jan. 14.
While Mrs. B. A. Wheeler, of this
place was cooking supper over a eas
oliue biuve on Suml.iy her sleeve
caught in the gasoline faucet and
turned it on. She noticed the liquid,
and turned it off. Some, how
ever, had fallen in the tea-kettle.
When the water was fairly boiling
she picked up the kettle to carry it
into another room. She had hardly
taken a step when the gasoline ex
ploded and flimes burst forth. She
ran to the door to throw it out, but
the door would not en. To drop
the kettle meant death to her two
little children playing upon the floor.
So the brave little woman clung to
the kettle while ber hand was being
burned to a crisp. The oil soon
burned itselt out. The hand has
been amputated.
