A Democratic contemjrary said:

The New York I, iywefciiHayg: "All

Bi t little more than a brief year since,
the 1 K-uiocracy of Ohio snublx-d the ven
erable Senator Thunnan, and selected a
coal oil boodler, to fill the place in the
Senate which he had once honored. Now
they are down on their marrow honca,
tagging the old Roman to accept a nom

them to victory.
The esteemed Philadelphia 7oc after
doing its utmost to induce Governor Bea
ver to tall an extra session of the Legis
lature, is now showing symptoms of dis
gust over its failure, ami an inclination
to make mouths at him. If the Gover

that he cannot be bulldozed, and the at
tempt is merely a wast of time and lals .r.
The Mugwumps have apparently chos
. n their lot and will stick to Cleveland in
the coming Presidential campaign. They
opHised Mr. Blaine on ersonal grounds,
and now they have opened their mud
lotteries on Senator Sherman. Asa gen
eral rule these too-good-for-anything gen
tlemen, are arrant free-traders and hence
their hostility to any jKissible llcjHiblimn
candidate.
The Itemocratic and Assistant lieino
cratie press of the State is just aching to
have Governor Beaver call an extra ses
sion of the Legislature, and in their anx
iety are threatening him with public in
dignation, and charging him with lieing
in collision with fraud. The old veteran
d-a-an't scare worth a cent. He has
heard this tin pan thunder many a time,

The death of Chief Justice Mereur de
prived the State of one of her oldest and
1 wires sons. . As the head of her highest
Judicial tribunal he wascajwble and dig
nified in honor to the State, and a l'a
con light to the profession. In his social
relations he was atfable, much esteemed,
and highly rwpceted. He was at one
time a popular leader in Congress, and
w hen he alandoned politics for the Su
preme Bench, be speedily took rank with
the many callable lawyers who have grac
ed and dignified that posit ion. His w as
a life w ith noble aims, and it was well
spent in the sen ice of the people and of

It is claimed by the Randall men, that
by actual count they will number more
than they did in the last House, and that
they will hold the lalanee of iwer on
the tariff question. And j et, ten to one,
they will be dragooned into voting for
Carlisle for Speaker, and thus put the
whip handle in the hands of a fn-e trader
who will not allow the House to take up
the measure, unless it is emasculated to
suit his views.
It is understood that Governor Beaver
w ill not make an appointment for Su
preme Judge to fill the vacancy caused by
Chief Justice Mercur, until after the meet
ing of the State Convention w hen he w ill
upint its nominee. As the court will
not meet again until MoWr, and as the
new Judge could not sit in council on
cases that he did not heal argued, the
public interests cannot suffer by the de
lay, the Governor's course will give gen
eral satisfaction.
The National Administration is being

take notice of such acts.
Rev. Granville M k.i v, known during
the last war, as the " Fighting Parson"
died last week at Mount Vernon, Iowa.
At the outbreak of the war he wasa hard
working Methodist preacher noted for
his striking figure. His intense patriot
ism carried him into the war for the Un
ion with all the zeal hitherto devoted to
his religious work. He was ehrted Col
onel of the seventy-fourth Ohio volun
teers and commanded the Regiment in
many ban! fought battles. He was al
ways to lc found w hen the fighting was
hottest, and his largo form, white hair
and stentorian shout "Give them Hail
Columbia, boys" made him a great force
in battle. Of bite years he lias leen liv
ing in Iowa, where be died.
The Republicans of this State went into
last years campaign pledged to submit a
prohibitory amendment to a vote of the
people, and with a life long temperance
man as their candidate for Governor.
Notwithstanding this, the jmlitical prohi
bitionists put a State and local tickets in
the field, and did everything in their pow
er to prevent Republican success. During
the si-ssion of the late Legislature the Re
publican members more than redeemed
their party pledges, not only passing the
bill providing for the submission of a Pro
hibitory amendment, but enacting a high
license law whereby one half of the drink
ing places in the State will be, closed ; and
to mark their appreciation of this integ
rity to their pledge, this vital step forward
in the cause of temperance made by the
Republican party, the prohibitionists are
again busily engaged placing State and
local tickets in the field to antagonize
them. This jnay be right anil politic from
a high Prohibition standpoint, but we
fail to remember any modern instance
where men iorsisted in laboring for a
cause whose self constituted leaders ro-
viled and despitefully used them. Even
the worm will turn when trod upon, and
oor human nature will not long stand
to be buffeted w ithout striking back in
return.
It has been the invariable custom at
Washington, when an ex-President or
Vice President died, to place the flags on
the public buildings at half-mast. This
was not done for Vice President heeler.
It was done for Jacob Thompson, once
Secretary of the Interior, and afterward a
traitor to his country, who achieved ever
lasting infamy by trying to introduce yel
low fever into the Northern States during
the war, but it was not done for a loyal
citizen w ho had served the country faith
fully as Vice President. Things are drift
ing pretty fast. hidiaimjxJii JmirmiL
The President was within one hour's
ride of the funeral services of Kx-Vice
President Wheeler, but he preferred to
smear his face and fish. His cold-blooded
message to th citizens of Malone, the
home of the dead statesman, in which he
studiously ignores the fact that Wheeler
had ever been Vice President, did him
small honor. No President or Vice Pres
ident ever held otlice by stronger title
than did Hayes and Wheeler. It was a
doubly-riveted title conceived by IKmuo
cratic statesmen and erfected by the law
as suggested by themselves. i'liinnjn

Charleston, S. C, June lo. n the south

The water on the lake ha. always been of

were seen leaving the lake in great numbers.
Ihiwlio lake is aimut one and a half miles

the latter drew a revolver and fired three
times at Prof. Clark, each shot taking effect.
The surgeon says the wounds are not neces

mostly young women, and their screams at

Gov. Beaver'a Views on the Lo6t
Revenue Bill.
Hakkishcki), June 7. Joveriwr Beaver
has lisU-ned to a nuniln-r of personal appeals
for a iecial session of the legislature and
lias read a oonlcrable number of letter of
tlie same tenor.hut he vhows no evidence of
recisliug fi-om his NKiilion of posHion to
the proiioscd si'lieme.
He said to-day tliere was no reason for a
sptiHal cession, which, he said, might he pro
ductive of a worse condition of things than is
now txerienced. He thought those most
interested in the re-enactment of the (Setieral
Revenue bill were the foreign insurance com
panii4i. whose tax would lie largely reduced
by itj IMie argument against was that the
usw-isnicnls for tiiis year have Ikvii made ami
the bill will be productive of no good to its
liencticiarics until next year. Another rea
son against a sK-cial session was the fact
that the recent Legislature had apiinted a
Revenue iKimniission to amend the tax laws.
If they should complete their work before
the time for making the next assessment, it
might then be pro)er to call an extra session
to enact their recommendations' into a law.
THE LOST HILL A IN MTFt'I, EASVKE.
The feasibility of the defeated Revenue bill
was doubtful, the tSovemor said further.
As a ijienns of increasing the funds of the
State it was a failure., as its tendencies would
Ih; to diminish the revenues. Besides, it
would Ik- fruitful of new litigation, of which
the State had a gn-.tt deal.
The counties the Governor thinks, have
been very well treated by the State. Bills
have been jassed and approved appropria
ting soo,0oo for the care and treatment of
indigent insane : ys".iioo additional to the
H.'M'.IMI required to be appropriated by the
Constitution to public schools, and provi
flinp that a large Mrtion of the revenue de
rived from liquor licenses shall be diverteil
to the county treasuries. The increased li
cense f would pmve of great financial ben
efit to the counties, but would reduce the
revenues of the Slate very materially.
The Governor ds not seem to take any
stock in the pnMtsitioti of memliers to serve
without pay. If the necessity existed for a
sie'ial session he thinks they should receive
the authnrueil comjieiisation.

A Pittsburgh Father Commits most
Terrible Crime.
PrrWBi'Bon, June 6. Frederick Hermann,
aged 25, employed as a helper in an Iron mill
this afternoon killed his little daughter aged
18 months, beat his wife Until be thought
her dead and then cut his throat, severing
the windpie and the jugular vein. Her
mann is a member of the Evangelical Lu
theran church and an intelligent, sober man.
His wife is a Catholic but on questions of
faith they have managed to agree until re
cently. Mrs. Hermann made no objection to
the baptizing of two of the eldest children in
the Evangelical Lutheran faith, but she, a
few weeks ago, attempted to have Lizzie,
the baby, liapiized into her church. She
took the little one to a priest about tlio weeks
ago while the tin her was at the mil! and had
the ceremony performed. The father was
ignorant of this until to-day, when, while at
work one of his friends told him alsmt it.
When bis work . was done at 4 o'clock he
went to his home on Mount Washington
opposite tlie city, and calhs! his wife to his
side and made her sit down on his knee.
His manner was more than usually airec
tionate, until he asked her if she had Lizzie
baptized in the Catholic church. His wife
answered in the affirmative, when he told
her that it was now the certain disith of one
of them. He rose and went toward the enjt
board for a kuifu a lien Mrs. Hermann jump
ed out of the window. He followed her
until she ran into the arms of a neighlsir,
who could not protect her as her husband
came up and beat her on the head until she
became insensible. He then returned home
and going to the second-story bedroom where
Liz.ie was sleeping in a cradle, took a razor
and cut her thmat almost severing her head
f.-.mi her body killing the little one before
she awoke. He then went to the window,
and holding his head on the outside ith the
same razor cut his throat from ear lo ear.
A neighbor, Joseph Keaner, rati to the house
and was let in by Hermann, who then laid
down on the !cd. He cannot talk, as his
wiudpie is severed, but although bleeding
has written several notes in German. In
them he stait-s he was deceived by his wife.
1 L also says he has forgiven her now. A
minister is with him and he is rending his
Bihleand hymn book, awaiting death, which
will n-nlt Irom loss of blood. Mrs. Her
mann is in a critical condition and may die.
Gre.'it excitement prevails in the hill top
community ami the house is surrounded by
people eager to grasp the details.
The Indian Outbreak.
Xooalks, A. T.. June !. The Indian out
break in this territory is assuming serious
proisirtions. The widespread depredations
indicate that there are many more than sev
enteen bucks, as at first reported, on the war
path. The whole country is excited, audit
is feared parties will organize to visit the San
Carlos Reservation. In such an event there
will he great slaughter.
Advices arecomingin froni'al! directions of
outrages. Word comes from W. K. Ix,t-k, of
Crittenden, that he and two others were,
aroused yesterday morning by several riHe
shots and found they were surrounded by
Indians. Mike Grace, one of the parly, a
pioneer and highly esteemed and prominent
t itienot Arizona Territory, was killed. The
othertwo made their escape through a eoiion,
pursued by the savages. The iieoplr of Crit

Xogales: "For God sake send us aid." In
tifuvn minutes a special train had soldiers

A Sexton Blown Up.
R'H'HKsTKa, X. Y.. June 10. ScMoti Mc
Gowon was atiei)tly trundling the lawn
niotterover the grass on the plot belonging
to the Second Baptirt Church, on Xorth ave
nue, yesterday, when his work was inter
rupted by a deafening explosion.
The lawn-mower went soaring toward the
aex of the church spire and the sexton was
hurled to the ground.
After the smoke had cleared away. Sexton
McGowan was found with his Cue, arms and
legs severely cut and bruised, and the lawn
mower had a piece of steel of considerable
size blown out of its cylinder. It had struck
a dynamite cartridge in the grass.' The car
tridge was alut three inches long. Where
it exploded there is a hole in the ground of
considerable depth and a foot in diameter.
There is no clue to the identity of the man
who placed the cartridge tliere, and no one
can conjecture what was his motive.
The crowd that gathered assisted Sexton
McGowan to a place where his wounds could
be attended to by a physician. His injuries,
though serious, arc not considered danger
ous. A Plague of Snails.
Bellefostf., Pa., June S.-The entire lower
portion of Centre county, Isat present plagu
ed by a most extraordinary visitation of
snails or garden slugs. They come fr.un
their hiding places in crevices, under board
walks, stones, etc., only at night, and they
cover the roads by millions. In Penu's Val
ley and Bloomtield and the surrounding
country they have eaten everything in their
ath. Sonic gardens have been entirely de
stroyed. A letter from Penu's valley says
that mornings after warm nights walks mid
roads are literally covered with the slum
these insavts leave on their trails and by
bushels of dead snails that have been killed
by pedestrians ami wagons. Lime, and Par
is green, salt and other insect destroyers have
been scattered liberally where tliesnails trav
el and feed, but they have had no effect on
them. The singular part of this plague is
that no insects of the kind were ever known to
be in the county before. Where they came
from, or what influence have brought them
here so suddenly and in such immense num-
Is-rs is a mystery no one has Ihi-ii able to
solve.
Solid for Sherman.
Cincinnati, June (I. In the course-of an
interview hen-, last night, (lovernor Foraker
said :
" I'm a Sherman man, and a strong one.

Blaine men in this State, but to the bejt of
my knowledge there is no attempt being

Ohio would send a solid Sherman delega

Nanticoke Panic-Stricken by a
Cloud Burst and Flood.
WiLKKsiuRRK, June ft. Kuiittcoke had a
very lively experience to-day In the sliac of
a cloud hurst, which deluged the town about
J! p. m. The water fell not in drops, but Jn
a tremendous rush, lasting over half an hour
and extending over about half the town, in
cluding the etijtral portion and the resi
denei on the hilLside above Main street.
Within five minutes after the fall com
menced the water was rushing in foaming
cataracts down the streets on the hillside and
into Main fctrect where it stood mrly three
feet deep and front which it rushed with
great force across the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks and out over the low land between the
town and the river. The consternation and
excitement that reigned throughout the town
was beyond description. The panicstrickeii
people thought the whole town would be
washed away and not a few ran out of their
houses and tied through the storm up on the
hillside and there betook themselves to the
roofs of their houses and refused to come
down until all was over.
The damage done all over the city was
great. Stores and houses were flooded. Ev
ery cellar was filled and in the lower purts of
the town the water rose three feet high In
the ground floor of stores anil houses. A
number of bams and outhouses that stood
on the hillside were washed away, and the
houses occupied by Evan Morris, an old
blind man, was totally demolished. It stood
in Main street, and the flood descending the
steep hill, washed out the foundation walls
and the bouse collapsed. Morris was buried
in the wreck, but was subsequently rescued
with no more serious injury than a few
bruises.
Below Main street great damage was done.
The track of the Pennsylvania Railroad was
washed out for a distance of 300 yards. The
fast passenger train was due at 3;.'K), and had
it not been for the presence of mind of a tel
egraph oierator a disastrous wreck would
have occurred. He ran up the truck and met
the train, but only just in time, for, had the
engine gone fifty yards further, it would have
been derailed.
The fliHid swept down on the workings of
Slope No. 1 of the Suscpiehanna Coal Com
pany, put out the fires under the boilers and
half fiilud the mine with water. The loss by
damageof goods aud merchandise to many
citizens ami merchant will lie quite se
rious. A Tramps' Reign of Terror.

iiiiuiatute reign of terror from bold, bail
tramps along the river front, where they
rendezvous in camps by the score, and extra

The girl's screams attracts! the attention of
a farmer driving by, who laid his whip on
the rascals face ami shoulders mid chased
him into the wood.
On Tuesday night Gaachar Meeks, a River
side hotel keeper, was obliged to shoot a
tramp in defense of his life. Two fierce-looking
tramps entered his pi. mi- and demanded
whiskey without money. They became
noisy and hud to be ejected. They hurled
stones through the windows at the proprie
tors. He ordered them to slop and was fin
ally obligid to draw his revolver and shoot
one of them, wounding him in thi shoulder.
Ir. Wt iier w as c.ilU-d nd lite ball was ex

The Mexican Volcano.
Hf.kmosillo, Mex., June 10. The explor
ers sent out by Gov. Torn to ascertain the
existence of the volcano reported near Bavis
pe. Si mora, have returned and reported that
they discovered it in the Sierra Madre Moun
tains, fourteen miles southeast of Bayispu.
The arty could not approach nearer than
timr miles of the mountain The crater was
pouring forth an imnieuse volume of moke,
fire and lava, und boiling water was issuing
from the. side of the mountain. The lava in
vast waves was slowly jstiring down the
mountain into the canons, which are being
filled. Boiling water has destroyed all vege
tation in the valleys in the vicinity. Build
ers weighing tons are hurled down from the
crater.
The exploring party niys the noise pro
ceeding from the mountain was must terrif
ic like a number of vast engines at work,
accompanied by sounds of thunder. The air
was dense with smoke and cinders. The
)uriy had great difficulty in approaching
within four miles of the mountain, owing to
the great chasms made by the earthquake,
anil all the roads and trails are totally wiped
out The country is fearfully broken up.
The entire surface of the earth presents a
wooliegone. appearance and not a bird or liv
ing thing could be seen within ten miles of
the volcano.
The towif of Bavisie is a complete ruin.
The people have all moved out on the high
plains, and are living in tents in mortal fear.
There has liecn a constant tremor and con
tinual series of shocks daily since the first
earthquake shock. I-ust night quite a heavy
shock was felt in Tucson.
Mangled by a Lion.
('iiicAoo. June 0. The residents of Went
worih avenue were aroused at daybreak this
morning by a most terrifying series of shrieks
and groans, proceeding from a circus located
in the neighiiorhood. Tlie circus jicople
were also aroused by the unusual uproar and
proceeded to investigate. Fainting on the
floor of the menagerie wt found Henry Ioc
abar, one of the attendants. One of his legs
were torn and mangled. Above him the
lions roared and wrestled with the restrain
ing bars. IHscalwir was terribly lacerated and
lie had nearly bhsl to death by the time as
sistance arrived. When Decahur recovered
consciousness he stated that he liad gone to
sleep last night on the top of the cage con
taining the lions. The first thing he knew
was that the beasts hail draggi-d his leg
through the upper bars of the den and were
clawing and biting the flesh otT it. They
pulled him off the roof and he fell down on
the floor fainting, tu it how the excited lions
came to attack him he does not know.
An Overproduction of Bourbon
Whisky.
Locisvii.LE, June 10. At a meeting of the
Kentucky llistillcrs' Association to-day a
resolution recommending the cessation of
the production of whisky until Octolier 1,
1SS8, was adopted. At least 95 per cent, of
the producing capacity of the state was rep
resented. An officer of the association sta
ted that there were now in bund in Kentucky
30,oiK),oi.lO gallons of whisky, of which 18,
000,001 gallons were distilled in the last
year. There are 5,lHK,0iK) gallons in foreign
jiorts belonging to Kentucky men, and all
this makes a sujfply great enough to last
three years. He thought there would not
lie a drop of whisky distilled in the State of
Kentucky th is year. It did not pay, because
the supply was so much greater than the de
mand that prices were almost nominal. The
resolution just adopted would balance thing
again, and every whisky man in the country
would be benefitted. The resolution goes
into effect the 1st day of July.

Repeal of Personal Property Tax.
The Hekai.d has received many inquiries
about the repeal of taxes on furniture, watch
es, carriages, etc. In order that all may ful
ly understand the matter we give the full
text of the biJI that was passed by tlie late
legislature and approved by Governor Bea
Ver oil the nth of May, us follows ;
Skition 1 Be it enacted, etc , that all tax
es for wliatso:Vi.-r punose laid upon watch
es, household furniture and pleasure carriag
es by and under the revenue laws of this
Commonwealth be and the same are hereby
abolished, and the laws under which said
tuxes are levied' and collected, so far us they
relate to the property herein mentioned, are
hereby repealed.
it wil be seen that the new law not only
deprives the State of all revenues from house
hold furniture, pleasure carriagi-s and watch
es but forbids the levy of taxes on those arti
cles for any purpose whatever, and they are
now absolutely exempt from uli taxation,
State, city, county or township.
