The President is rejoined a still hesi tatinj; about approving Uie ai-t taxing tilwiinargarine, and very jiMja-rly, too, in our opinion. The atvumentu in In-half of the bill are that oleomargarine is in jurious to public health, and that its sale injure the dairy interests. If the first asHertion lie true, it manufailure should lie prohibited, and there should lie heavy Jienalties provided for the punishment of its sale under falsi- pretense. But, as Senator Ilutler remarked, '.'if it is right to tax Inigusi butter it is right to tax bogus wine," or for that matter, any other bo jrus article. If it is right to protect dairy interests by Rpeciul a.1 of Congress, the rule cannot lie stopped tln-re, and s-ial l.-gisUtion will lie iu-astisl ujK.n for pne tectum against every liogu?. article pro Juivd in the country.

Mr. Miirj.hy's retort is as true as it is J forcible, and as jiertinent to the situation in 1'ennsylvanina as is to that in Oh in.

For more than thirty two years this pioneer journalist of the west continued to publish the linzrttr, and had the gratification of seeing this child of his brain grow and pmsjier and extend its usefulness with the growth and prosperity of the frontier village which lie had made his home. Pittsburg is now a city world renow ned for its man ufacturing industries and the skill of its artisans, and as it has grown, and devel oped, and advanced on its onward march to wealth and greatness, the 'oir.-ffc has kept even step in progress, and has advo cated, and heralded, and stimulated its pmsH-rity. It was eminently fitting therefore, that the ;i;,tl, on Thursday last the vnten nial of its birth should mark the era bv issuing an edition of twenty-four pages, filled w ith illustrations and letter press, commemorating the early history of Pittsburg and of Western Pennsylva nia, and recording the wonderful growth and improvement of the city, and of Pittsburg journalism during the century of its existence. This centennial numla-r of the UaztHe d.a-s great credit to the ability, entcrprin' and taste of its present energetic proprie tors, and shows that age has not staled nor dimmed its lastre. It enters uism its second century w ith a lusty vigor that j la-tokens many ilays of further useful ness and prosjicrity, and it has w ith it the heartiest good wishes of the olih-st living di-svndant of its venerated foun der.

This is the last of a series of out ntp-a, the outcome of the active fight made by the Ijiw and inler Society against violations of the liquor law. Their protesta against many illegally kefit aalootw resulted in the revocation of the . license. This was followed eight months ago by the (atrtial destruction of E. W. Lewis' store and resi dence and the narrow escaja! of his family from death by a dynamite explosion. Then the laa-iety retaliated by sending Haiiiel Walker to jail f.r selling without a license. He wan all old niau, quite wealthy whI owii eil the onlv hotel ill town. He was ill when he went lo jail. His family waa visiting in Englanil. and tlie imprisonment hastened his death, which larurrcd three weeks ago, four days after his release. This morning the church which Lew is T. J. Jones.

William Owens, w ho had the reputation ofla-ingthe instigator of all the ooiety' work, was blown up. The build ing stands on the comer of front and Carroll etrwtsand has a smiting cajtaeity of almut five hundred. It is a low. franiv struc ture and was erec-tial fifteen years ago. t)w ens was it iast..r for three years. The aiie of his resignation is not known. He did not have another call and their was no serious trouble in the congregation. He lelt imme diately after resigning for Ijtncjister county, w hen- he is visiting relatives. The congre gation have kept tip the services regularly. The usual Friday night serv ice was 9uit-n-d hist night. Announcements were made this afterniKin that the senilis would bo re sumed to-niomiw. Alsjut half-past twelve a man was been with a lantern in the rear of the church, but nothing was thought of it irticularly, and no one was informed of it until after theox plosion. Just before thn-e o'clia-k men were heard running from the seene of 'ho explo sion by another party,' but this did not ex cite suspicion. An old gentleman named Ktaii, tillable to sleep on account of the heat, was kneeling at his lail-room w indow and saw a light, like the lighted end of a cigar, ln-ar the church d. kit, and a few seconds la ter suddenly was throw n on his back by the sh.a k of a terrific explosion. The whole town was aroused and in a few moments the neiglilairlnaal was swarming with wople. . The dynamite with a lighted fuse attached, had Urn put ill a chink under the front diairstep. Fortunately, the chink oja ncd into Uie cellar, w hich is large and naiiiiy, ami where the worst force of t he ex plosiou w;is lost in vacant njiuce.

This afteniiain Miss Op-nheinier. accom panied by her sister, Mrs. Augustine, called usui Mr. Rivkar at his place of business. When questioned about the matter heat first denied having said anything reflecting on the character of the lady, but finally admit that he had said something.

He vainly tried to pniteet himself from the blows, but the young lady ceased only w hen exhausted from the exertion. She afterwards visited Ihlliltli's place of business and pna-ecded to administer to him a vigorous lashing.

Heart disease in the aujHjeed cause of death. THE LABRADOR HORROR. St. Johs, X. F, July SI. The account of the sulferiiigs among the destitute fishermen along the waist of laibrailor ia very terrible. The very lowest estimate of those who have -riished from starvaUon and exaisure is :rs). AH these liave iliial since June 1 and the rate of mortality is increasing. The in habitants of many of the settlomentH have been compelled to ih-vour their few ponies and dogs, while every pi of leather or sealskin has la-u carefully utilized to deaden tlie lamgs of huntfer. WolvTes and polar la-ara driven to the ciaist in search of fiaal and rendered ilesarate by starvation fear lessly attack any small village they may come ai-niss. In one settlement of alamt twenty -eight families, comprising alamt a. souls, Uie inhabitants had been rendered so weak by the (brood short rations to which they had been compelled to submit ill onler to ekeotrt life that there was hardly a man w ho was strong enough to raise a sa-ar in self-defense against the brutes. the ba.nucet or wimi am a vis. The result was that the bears, numl?ring alamt l io, made a clean sweep of the place, devouring every man. woman and child, ex cepting four young men who stioccolcd in flamheriug to some neighlairing naks. Here they remained forty-eight hours, watching the la-ars at their horrible repast. After the hitter had finished and moved away a pack of wolves, which had been hanging around, came in and finished what the larger animals had left. l$y the time the forty-eight hours had elasjd two of the young men had perished from cold, w hile a third died shortly afterwards. The fourth, who was an Esquimau named Johann Anderson, laiing a little la-tter cloth ed than his companions, succeeded in reach ing the deserted houses and terri blc sepulchre which had once la-eu his house. He found some other articles of clothing and a few scras of ftaaL which hail la-en stored away. Armed with those he started out for White Rear, the neighboring settle ment, twenty-four miles away, and which almost by a ufiraclc, he succivded in reach ing. He related Ida horrible story and was cared for as well as the limited resources of the pair people would admit. Assislatue ill every jsissiblo form is most urgently nt-cded. Caj Chidley. Caa?

Hergcnatis Tor. one of the Esquimaux w ho arrived here on the Nancy Itarrctt from Okkak, Labrador, says that the population of that settlement w as nearly 1-tO, yet w hen he left with his wife not a soul remained. Early in March fiaal gave out. Every drop of oil and bit of sealskin was utilized anil at ran-intervals a la-ar was killed, but finally the supplies were quite exhausted. On June 3 they had eaten nothing for six ilays and goaded by hunger feasted iiiniii the corpses of several whites and a few Indians that had la-en killed by the cold. When one of their own party di)sl the lasly was cut open, the entrails were taken out, and the remainder was frozen up for Use. From this final terrible dysentery set in among the survivors and on July 1 there were but six teen la-rsoiis left alive, the lushes of over twenty-five having la-eu eaten. Smuggled Fire-water. HosToN, July at. A rod-faced, jolly dri ver of a two-horse truck got into trouble yes tcnlay afteniiain, and unexpectedly revealed a secret. He was coming up Tremont street from the North End, and, when oppisite the Common got in a jam of tru. k teams, oneof which tipa-d off a pirtioii of his load. Among other things which fell into the street were three wisaleu shipping cases fill wit h eggs. The cases belli forty-nine dozen each. The cover of one case wxs ktua-ked oir and the egg Went skipping over the iiavi meiit. Two lit wslsiys rushed in and began to break and suck the eggs. A large laiy cracked a shell ami la gan to swallow its con tents, w hen he suddenly made a very wry fatv. " Had ?" asked a bystander. ' Naw," was the reply; "but it's a funny tasting egg's s'ever I see d." The other laiy, after tasting one or two eggs, turned to the crowd and said : "Tain't an egg at ail; it's nothing but whiskey." Of iiiursc there was a scramble for the egg ami the driver had lu.nl work to git his la.x lau-k. When his lmxos were all l.atd.il again, he said he had rcivivi-d six cases of eggs from a North End liquor dealer, who told him to tal.o tin iu to the Providence de sit, and cautioned him to ia- careful and "not hatch the i on the way," as they were for hotel use ,n Rh.ale Island. Taking up one of the eggs and breaking it in front of the .-riwd, a ruddy liquid ran out, leaving nothing bin a common JK.nvla'm shell, such as is sold at agricultural supply stores, for " nest eggs. ' Instead of albumen yolk, every egg was full of the best whiskey, each one containing alMiut enough for a giaal drink. They were filled through a small hole ill the big cud. and tiie hole was closed with waterproof ccmcntial cloth of the same color as the egg. lly chalking the egg a lit tle, the deception was complete. "They arc going to Newpirt and Narra gansott Pier." said the driver. " and I'll l t lots of ra-oplc will eat eggs down then, who never liked them before." A Great Mail Robbery. Sr. L:u:is, July .'to. The Post O.lice In siavtors of the postal division between this city and New York are hs-king for the au thor of the first impirtant mail nilary on that division. The theft lavurrod nearly a month ago, but the amount lost was so large that the insa-ctors have taken unusual pre caution to keep it secret. A aistal clerk who knows the fiats, however, has made them public ami they are as follows : The pistal oar w hich left New York for St. Louis June 2S had among its mail a Mi(ich, No, IIVS, for St. Louis, which contain ed alamt 20,000 in money, and drafts, homls, chirks and other valuable sia-r and proa-rty valued at .va'tnn. At Pitts burgh the far West mail was transferred, and .a,-x-.l into the hands of Chief Clerk James Ferald. The train as usual, made a very short stop at that place and. also as usual, iho chief clerk signed receipts for the various patches without insia-cting them, the time la-ing tiai short to do so. During tlie mil to Indiaiuipilis he found that he hail receipted for the St. Louis aiuch, w hich was not iu his possession and which probably had not la-ell turned over to him with the nt of the mail. He immediately reputed the Milia ry and the tlctcctives have la-en working on the case ever since, without as yet having made any arrests. It is lalicved that the puich wa stolen between New York and Pittsburg by any or a uumla-rof clerks, who have since then left the service. h A Heroine Drowned. St. Pai l, Minn., Aug. 2. A Hutle ( Mon.) special gives the wnicularsof the drowning of Miss Jane Mi-Arthur, formerly of that city, in a heroic effort to save the live of others. For a year uist she has la-en con ducting a cattle ranch on the I'pia-r Sun river. With her old mother she was en-cauia-d on tlie hank of the river, when Judge Armstrong, with his wife, and daugh ter of l.i years, son of 12 and a spinster sister attempted to fori the river with a four-horse team. The horses la-came unruly, ran into deep water anil spilled the family into the rapid current. None of them could swim. Miss MeArt hur siring the accident plunged in and saved the son, daughter and mother. Going back for the sister she was seized in a death-grip by the drowning woman and both were lost. The laalics were recovered. Bitten by a Rattlesnake. Oaklasd. 111., July 29. While gathering berries with several other ladies near this city, yestenlay, Mr. J. Hanson was bitten by a rattlesnake. Her screams called the at tention of her coiiiiantons, who came to her assistance. She was placed in a wagon and started for home, but died before she arrived. Her left limb, which was bitten, swelled to enormous projairtioiis before death ensued. i p r. . . f . . u ah i. tiAo if-- Af-At Aj-t t winrmfr at KdiTaer ivi a i ru h i a i w a if :ni Sjh.th Nobwalx, Conn., July IU. In Main street near the doprt, stanils a large wmslen building occupied by Wilbur Ayers as a wholesale and retail provision market. In the rear of this market, is a mtcnt refrigera tor for storing meat, nine feet high, thirteen long and ten wide. The box Is iiiinaaeil of thirta'ii-iii. h chestnut plank outside, with a lining between the planks of twelve inches of powdered charcoal, anil as a further pro tection has a heavy lining of xinc Inside the box. The door locks with a at. nt snap, and oan tie oia-ned only from the outside. Yesterday Mr. Avers oa-ned thediair and went in. There was a sharp click, and in a moment lie was a prisoner in a temperature at zero. His clerks had all gone to dinner, not to return for two hours, and there was nolmdy to noti.-e what had larurrcd. Mr. Avers, w ho weighs over Jti pnnuls, worked his immense strength against the ilis.r without avail, at the same time shout ing until he la-came hoarse. Finally he came so exhausted that he was coiiia-llcd to rest, and leaning against the (mix tried to de vise some means to liberate himself. Then he began to fi-el sleepy, and in a moment it flashed through his mind that he was freez ing to death. He threw his body violently against the door time and time again, walk ed around, closely examined all the parts, and then came Itack and tried the door tor the last time. To his joy he a-reeiveil a crack in the plank, and throwing his Italy again and again against it, he finally w idened it so that he could get a hold with his hands. Then he tore out the inside plank and layer of charcoal, leaving only the outside il.air la--tween him and lilierty. After repeated trials he broke through that, however, and crawl ed out and fell on the fl ir. w here he was found by some customers. His muscles on the right side were sevcnil, and his rilis and arms paralyzed. His laaly was a ma.- of braises. Dying in their Icy Prison. St. Johx. July 2!i.

She brings five families, who had reached that piint from Sandwich Hay, over Ion miles inland, ill sledges drawn by p.nics, on which they subsisted after their arrival. York Harisir is crowded w ith fugilivi-s. hut these came from the southern coast, and know nothing of their northern neighlairs.

The re lief Vessels will now go direct lo York liay to relieve the sufferers there first. A While Hay despatch says that whalers repirt that Hudson Hay straight is again frozen over, w hich is an unprecedented ia currenoe at this se;isoii.

Negroes Oppose Prohibition. New om.r.Axs, July 2!. The most extra ordinary move yet made in the liaal option canqntign now going on in Mississippi is that submitted by the prohibitionists of Ixuiid.-s county. The mgro has been the disturbing eleinent iu all the Mississippi liquor cUrion. In most -if the counties there has been a white majority for prihibi tioii, which has laa-u swaruiail by the ni-gro vote. To eliminate this disturbing element the pmhihitionists of Iouudes demanded that there should la- a Henna. ratio primary election under the auspices of the lieima-rat-ic Executive Committee on the subject of prohibition, at which no nigra-s should la allowcd to vote. The result of this primary is to decide the question of license or idi li cense. For several days the la-m.arats of Loundcs have larn wrangling over this question, and a majority of them seemed to favor the idea ofkecpimr. it entirely w ithin iMnocr.ttic lines. The antis, or wet side, however, have refused to abide by this plan, w hich amounts to the practical distrain hi-r-luelit of the ncgna-s. The question is not vet linullv decided.

IrrrsBruH. July at. Mrs John Prill, of Sidith Twenty-eighth street, made a mistake yestcnlay which may cost her her eyesight and disfigure her fiice for life. She became greatly frightened when the terrible storm which passed over this section broke in its fury, and she ran to her bed chamla-r for a vase of holy water with which to sprinkle herself in the bop tliat in that way she might ward off ininiling danger. In the excitement of the moment and the semi dark n.-ss of the room she missed the bottle in which she kept the water and seized one 'tilled with sulphuric acid. Mrs. Prill was nervous and she was not sjsiring with the terrible fluid, hut dashed it in her fair and ever her head in considera ble quantity. The first intimation she had of her mistake was the terrible pain w hich the acid inflicted. She cried out almost in stantly in her anguish and the neighlsirs, hearing the cries, mil to see w hat was t In itial ter. They found her lying on the floor, almost crazed with uin. Great red blotches, the work of the acid, were already appearing on her face and neck.
