I'rom lilldliood's hour 1 v my fondest hopes decay Ac. Ac. A.-. Turns is a growing demand through out the Commonwealth that the ap proaching State Convention shall give us new Chairman of the State Committee. Without guing into the merits of the vase, It is enough to say that the meth od of the present Chairman are not acceptable to a large portion of the partv, and a change is requisite for the good of the party organization. In some quar ters tike restoration of the late Chairman t Senator Cooper) is being urged. It Erst will be reruembeied that at his inauguration Governor Tattison refused the use of a carriage, and trudged through the mod op to me Capitol, much to the admiration of his Democratic partisans. An ap propriation bill reported to the House a few days since provides for fC.,000 to sl.-frav Hie expenses of bis second inaug uration. Times change, and men change w ith tkem. Alas for the days of Jefler nonian simplicity ! The friendly and cordial pnvtinr given the President by the Southern people has set the Democratic press of the North to snarling and growling like eo many angry curs. These editors who, as a general rule, devote much of their time to denouncing Republicans for keeping open the breach between the North and South, are now terribly cared for fear amicable sentiments and good will may spring up between the sections, as a result of the Presidential lour. We olmerve that among other resolu tion sse.l at the Farmers' Alliame Stat Convention of thio, is one favoi ing the taxation of "all raw material and tinished iroduft in the manufacturer's bands." lines not even-handed justice re-piire the taxation of grain in the bam, corn in the crib, and flour in the bin ; the first two being raw material and tLe latter the finished product? If not, why not ? Our Alliance friends must not for get that "what is sauce for the goose, :s tauce for the gander." The clean and conservative adminis tration of President Harrison Las won the esteem and admiration of the entire country, as is evidenced by the outburst of popular enthusiasm which is greeting liira as be journeys through the South. ir IVmocratic brethren are amazed and annoyed at its manifestation, and lU'publicans are correspondingly grati fied. The President is a fluetit, ready Baker, with the happy knack ol touch ing the popular chord in Lis brief ad lrewe, and we doubt not that Lis face-to-face and hand-to-hand intercourse w ith the masses will do mnch to dispel nectional animosities, icainly kejt alive by warring politicians. From the statistics in reference to the farm stock of the different States, gather ed rjy the Department of Agriculture, the data for Pennsylvania shows that there re ."irO,(NiO horses in the Commonwealth, or about one horse for every ten inhab itants. Of that number P.OoO died dur ing the year. The whole number of lio.iae in the Lnited States is 14,000,000. Texas has the largest number, or 1,513,- '; Illinois. 1,1 25,0(10, and Iowa 1,100, 0t0. Pennsylvania is the eighth State in the number of horses. f the 13,000,000 milch cows, oxen and other cattle in the w hole country, Penn sylvania has 100,000, or about one to very three inhabitants.

If the latest news from the Connclls- ville coke region is to be relied upon, (ioxernor l'attim made a grave error in ko batrtilv withdrawing the troop. It was represented to the Governor that ii t 1 M.ni.l on er would ue maiiiuuuru '"' them, and their presence was a source of irritation to the strikers, and we presume this wa- the moving cause for their with drawal. It should be remembered, how ever, that mobs are not restrained by promises, and that no one can speak authoritatively for unlawful and unruly assemblages. The foreign element among the cokers is largely responsible for the late riotous proceedings, and this element comes from countries controlled principally by the bayonet, and has but little regard for civil law that is not backed and enforced by military power. Of course, the rotate authorities are loth to incur the expense of keeping troops in the field, and also to thus tacitly ad mit that the civil powers are not capable of enforcing the law, but they w ill find themselves severely and jus-.ly criticised if more bloodshed follows the hasty withdrawal of the military from the dis turbed region. The law must be en forced, property and life must be pro tected, and the right of men to work for such w ages as they contract for must be maintained, at any and every risk or If law and order cannot be enforced, then chaos has come again. The President in Peril. Atlanta, Oa., April 15. An accident oc curred at the time of the President's arrival in this city that might have resulted in in the President and Mrs. Hurrison had it hamiened a few minutes sooner. It tesult. ed from the military salute lired in honor of the President. The cannon used for this niom -. mninitil on a flat-car at a sid ing near the tuck over which the Presiden tial car ran. In order to give emphasis to their work, t5e soldiers having charge of the cannon, discharged it just as the Presi dent's train was passing on an adjoining track. The concussion was tremendous. and shattered three thick plate glass win dow panes in the dining car, Coronada, im- iielr next the seats aspired to tne snecial use of the President and Mrs. Har nson. Luckily these seats were unoccupied at the time. A colored watter, who was standing in the aisle of the car, was thrown down hv the explosion. He was, however, more frightened th:in hurt. The Presiden tial party was at the other end of the train at the time, nd knew nothing of the acci dent until informed of it afterward. A Fatal Lea In the Dark. Jcakette, Pa., April 17. A tragic affai oocured last night soon after the last line on the Pennsylvania railroad swept past here on its way esst. There was on board Con stable R. McDonald, of West Newton, who had in charge a man named Sandy Wilson who had been missing from tireensburg for Romi' time and mm badly wanted there on several charges of assault and battery pre frrreil bv bis wife. The const able ha J taken the handcuffs off Wilson, who said he want ed to smoke. Just as the train passed this point Officer McPoiiald says Wilson rose i his seat and i lit him a terrible blow an then rushed for the door. The plucky Con stable hastily gathered himself up and fol lowed Wilson, who by this time was poised on the lower step of the car and appeared asif be were going to jump. The train was running very fast and the officer called to Wilson to stop. He paid no attention what ever to the oSici-r. but leaped into the dark The utlicer aiso jumped headlong from the train after Lis prisoner. What followed told by theofiioT, as Wilson probably never knew when he touch the ground. Mcl'onald says when he leaed from the train he di not see Uie freight coming down the west bound track, which struck him and knock ed him insensible before he could even catc a glimpse of the ill-fated man who had pre cede! bim in his mad leap. The prisoner must have jumped directly on the track i front of the engine, and afier turning over cauple times was ground under the wheels, meeting instant death. The passengers who aw the whole affair say it was over in monit nt, and when the Fast Line was finally stopped and hacked up the officer was pick ed up and conveyed to Oreensbiirg. The prisoner was dead and was handed over to an undertaker for burial. Constable .Mc Ionald, instead of falling under the wheels of the train rushing in an opKitedirection, probably owes his life to the blow which Wilson dealt him, and prevented him from following as closely as he intended. Mc Donald struck the sides of the freight train and was knocked to one side, while Wilson fell directly under the freight engine. The brave constable was taken to fireeiisburg on the aame train, where he was carried on an ambulance to a hotel, attended by two doc tors. To-day he told a very clear story of the affair, and to-night is rejorted as being on the way to reoorery. He is badly bruis ed ia addition to Tiavingacollar-bone broken, but it is not thought be has sustained furth er internal injuries, as was believed last night. Eiuht Instantly Killed. A frightful wreck occurred on tlie I.ake Shore Railroad at Kipton Station, about for ty miles west of Cleveland, Ohio. Saturday evening, in which six postal clerks and two engineers were killed. The fast mail, No. 14, bound east, collided with No. -I, the Toledo Fx press, just as the latter train was about to pull on the siding to let the fast mail pass. The fast mail was running at full speed and the force of the collision was so great that both engines, three mail cars and one baggage car were oomplely wrecked. THE hxad.

The first white Republicaa meeting ever held in this State the outgrowth of the Farmers' Alli ance was held at the State Capitol yester day. Fifty'One clubs were represented, many of them being former straight-out Democrats. The meeting elected delegates to the Republican LeagoeConvention, which meets at Cincinnati April 21. This move ment ia regarded an ominous one in connec tion with third party prospects. The Road BIM as It will Likely so to the Governor. Tbs new road bill, a synopsis of which as given in the Meralu at the tiice of its preparation by the Kal .otum;s5Kin, is now in the shape in which it win prooaoiy go to the Governor. It has passed tne eD ate and has passed second reading in the House. It has been amended in several lm do riant particulars. The act provides for the election, appointment, .ualirlcaitinn and organkation of supervisors in townships. defines their duties, authorizes them to make, repair and maintain highways, lays down penalties for the violaliun of the a3. and rectslhe Secretary f Internal Atlairs to furnish blanks to the supervisors and to make statements to the State Treasurer. A fynopsis of all these provisions follows: The first section enacts that each tos nbuip shall elect on the third Tuesday of Febru ary, 12, one supervisor for one year, one for two years and one for three years. One supervisor shall be elected annually there after for a term of three years. Vacancies are to be filled by the Courts of Quarter Session, and only qualified electors of a township are eligible to election in that township. New elections are not to be held in townships now having three supervisors. THE DIVISION OF LA HOB. Section 2 specifies the method of organiza tion of the supervisors. Toey are to take an oath of office and are to elect one of their number president and one secretary. In townships which do not have a treasurer they are to appoint one not of their number. They are then to levy a road tax not to ex ceed 10 mills on the dollar of valuation ex cept by order of the court. The valuation is to be the same as that used for county pur poses and is to be furnished by the County Commissioners. Supervisors may divide their precincts into districts and appoint roadmasters for each. Roadmasters ure to gee that work is done in accordance with specifications furnished by supervisors, to oversee the men employed on roads and to keep their time. Siiiervisors are to fix wages and hours of labor. Section 3 gives supervisors control of work and the employment of laborers. Resident taxayers are to receive the preference as laborers if they notify supervisors before the first Monday of May each year. Super visors are to purchase machinery and ma terials and take care of same. Section 4 authorizes stipjrvisors of two or more townships to make joint purchases ot road machinery, joint ownership to continue during the pleasure of supervisors and prop erty to be sold under the utreciion oi tne courts when they agree to sever it. Section 5 requires the road sujiervisors to make out tax duplicates and deliver them to township treasurers for collection. The usual 5 per cent, discount is allowed for payment before June 1, and 5 per cent pen alty imposed for delinquency beyond Octo ber 1. AITROVED BONUS MIST HEI.IYEX. Section C directs the township treasurer to give bond with two sureties, approved by the euervisors, in double the amount of money received from all sources for road purposes. Money is to be paid out only on order of the Hoard of Supervisors. Swtion 7 of the original bill, describing the manner'of constructing roads, has been stricken out by amendment, and Section 8, which prohibited supervisors to receive com pensation, but provided for the payment of their expenses, has been changed to fix their compensation at $ annually. Section ! require sujiervisors to make re ports to County Commissioners, on blanks furnished by the Secn'tary of Internal Af fairs, of moneys raised by taxation and amounts expended in different ways uon the roads. The commissioners are to for ward the report to the secretary, and they are to be made and forwarded before the first Mouday of April each year. Section P directs supervisors to keep min utes and accounts and deliver them to their successors. They are to be ojien to the in tection of taxpayers. Section 11 vests discretion in supervisors in the matter of letting contracts for high ways, roads and bridges, bettings are to be advertised three weeks in advance. Bonds must lie required of contractors, and con tracts for niaintenenee and repairing cannot continue longer than three years. TIIK PROVISION FOB HK.HWA.YH. Section 12 makes it the duty of supervi sors to select one of the roads to be macad amized which forms a continuous highway with roads of other townships throughout the county, between populous points or points on railroads. These are to be known as "highways," and the supervisors are to keep maps of them showing their relation to other roads. Records of the material out of which they are constructed are to be kept and also alignments and grades of the high wavs. Surveyors when employed are not to be paid in excess of f3 a day. Section 13 requires the petition often tax payers for the appointment of viewers. Owners of land, railroads or canals to. be crossed by new roads are to be given written notice of the proposed view. Handbills of the same are required to be posted 10 days in advance. Section 14 directs the courts to appoint three viewers, on petition, to lay out or va cate roads. The viewers must be a surveyor and two disinterested citizens. Section 15 appoints the supervisors' in spectors of work done by contractors. It is not to be accepted nor money due upon it be paid until it is completed according to agree ment. Section 10 provides for the distribution of blanks by the Secretary of Internal Affairs. The reports he receives upon them are to be embodied by him in a report to the State Treaaurer wlii.-li is to be made the basis for the diMribu'.iuu of iminey appropriated lor roads by the SuU. MAKIKCI IMI'KOI EMEKT AK ORIKiT. Section 17 directs the distribution of mon ey appropriated by the legislature for road purposes among the townships in propor tion to the amount of road tax they have collected and expended during the year pre ceding the distribution. The State Treasurer is to pay each township or district treas urer. Twenty-five per cent of the tax col lected and the entire State appropriation are directed to be set apart for jermanent road making. Section 18 denies the State appropriation to any township willfully neglecting or re fusing to carry out the foregoing provisions. Section 1! requires railroad, pipe-line and other companies wishing to occupy roads to construct their lines to file maps of the occu pation with Ui supervisors. The plans must be such as are approved by the super visors and the companies must file bonds to do the work under the sufiervisors' direc tions, in accordance with the majx, with the least rxwaible interruption to public travej, and to put the roads in as good con dition as before they entered upon them. An additional bond to cover loss by harm to vehicles, teams or persona is also to be filed. Section 20 makes it unlawful lor supervi sors to be interested in work or contracts on roads, highways or bridges. Violation en tails a tine of not exceeding $3o or impris onment not to exceed three months, or both. Section 21 aays if sujwrvisors or persons emploved to work on roads, highways or bridges wilfully violate the act or wilfully neglect or refuse to carry out its provisions, they shall be fined not exceeding (itK). Section 22 Imposes on supervisors all the duties imposed by existing laws on super visors of roads, bridges and highways, and makes them subject to the same ref ponsib 1 tiea, except where inconsistent with the act itself. Section 23 repeals acts or parts of acts in consistent with the bill's provisions. Hot Water for the Sheriff. L'sioxTowjt, Ta-, April 16. Armed with scalding water, axes, picks and various weapons, Fred Strousack's Polish wife a:id five other stalwart women at Trotter to day evicted Sheriff McCormick. who was trying with hi deputies to evict the Strousack fam ily, strikers. He retreated in as good order as his speed would permit. Strousack him self was arrested at Connellsville TROOPS ON DUTY. Companies C and E, ISth Regi ment, at Sheriff McCor mick's Service. Scottdai.e, Pa., April la. Violence again appeared in the coke region to-day. The strikers bav- begun to use dynamite to ac complish thm'r ends, and it 13 feared that there will be further bloodshed, as the with drawal of the troop has greatly emboldened the strikers. The luoO-barrel water tank at the Kyle Works of the II. C. Frick Coke Company was tlowa up with dynamite about l:3i o'clock this morning. Of the 10S ovens at Kyle, thirty are in op eration. The blowing-up of the tank will cause a suspension for lack of water to damp en the ovens. A RIOT AT LEtESBISU. A number of deputies went to Leiaenring No. 2 this morning to make some evictions. Two evic tions were successfully made, but the third caused trouble. The deputies had removed everything but a clock from the third house, when a mob of strikers swoop ed down and scattered the officers. One of the latter was badly cut, but will recover. The evictions will not be continued until more deputies have been secured. A Hungarian was arrested near fnion town this afternoon for rioting. Scarcely bad the officers secured their man when a gang of strikers assailed them and rescued the prisoner, forcing the deputies to fly. NearLeiseiiring No. 2 the strikers ap peared early this morning and threw up great levers of earth by exploding dynamite. No one was injured, but the whole country was aroused by the detonation. The Frick Company continues to serve eviction notices at all its plants. At Stand ard a dozen notices were served to-day. The eviction notices to the Morewood strikers will expire to-morrow, and it is thought that the men will go to work on Monday rather than be put out of their homes. Sher iff McCormick, of Fayette county, is eulisl ing more deputies. There are about 300 on guard at present. If the disorder continues it is possible that another call for trooia will be made. A A w more men went to work to-day at the various plants. The Painter plant of the McClure Company is making daily ship ments. Edward Johnston, a coker at the Whitney works, who refused to accede tothedemands of the strikers that he quit work has been threatened and intimidated by tbem till be is a raving maniac. He was desirous of working, but was met by a crowd of Huns and others on the way to and from work and threatened with punishment.' A deputy at Leisenring, No. 2, has been arrested charged with assault with intent to kill, by a .V.avic woman. Fifty -two d.-puty Sheriffs, commanded by Sheriff CUwson, all armed with Winchester rilles, were etationed at Morewood Works this moruing. The force of workmen is much smaller to-day. Vsiotctowx, Ta., April lit. The Sunday quit-t in Unionto'wn was broken throughout the whole forenoon by the notes of the bugle sounding the assembly call to the boys of Company C. The company is at the arsenal awaiting orders to move. Adjutant General McClelland arrived here at 8 o'clock this morning, having left Harrisburg at mid night, and coming here froni Greensburg on an engine. In conversation with a reporter, the general laid great stress upon the fact that the trooris are not to be used to assist in evictions, or to do police duty at any of the works, but to quell disturbances and maintain order when Sheriff McCormick 's means have failed. "That olllcial," said the general, "is to lie the sole judge of the ne ee-isity for the assistance of the troops." This point is also emphasized in the instruc tions given to Captains Frasher and Loar. "You are to hold yourselves in readinets," says the general, "to respond to the call of the sheriff in maintaining the peace. The sheriff is the only one to determine when you shall assi9t him." Hecontinues: "Keep your men well in hand, permitting them to be absent from the armory and on thestrtets as little as possible." What the adjutant general has done is told briefly in bis official telegrams. Imme diately upon his arrival he telegraphed the Governor that he had found everything qui et. He sent the following to Col. Hawkins at Washington : " By direction of the Gov ernor, Company h continues on duty. Com pany C is on duty here. Send two boxes of ammunition by express to CapU Frasher.' The following was sent to Gen. Wiley, who is at his home in Franklin : " Companies E ana C on duty in restionse to sheriff's re quest. Advise me of your whereabouts.' Gen. Wiley replied: "I will be here for several days. He telegraphed Capt. Ixhr at Sit. Pleasant to be ready to move at the call of the sheriff. The adjutant general sent the following telegram to Col. Norman Smith, of the Eighteenth: " Keep regiment well in hand, ready to move at any time.' The adjutant general is almost on the sick list, lie has placed himself under a doctor's care. He reached Harrisburg from Mt rleasant at 4 o clock yesterday morning, and in the evening the Governor sent fcr bim, after receiving Sheriff McCormick's first telegram, and asked hint if he would go to 1'niontown. "I was only too glad to come," said he, "for I saw that the Governor was greatly worried over the prospect cf sending the troos out again." When asked if additional troons would be called on. General McClelland replied: 'That depends entirely upon circumstances. Certainly not if they an- not needed." At 7 o'clock this evening the adjutant general was handed the following telegram from Mt. Pleasant : "A great crowd of men, number ing fully ft in, were met at 3 p. ru. at Tinst- man's station, marching in the direction of Jiratown. Had a brass band with them." ' I do nol like the looks of that," he said, and he wanted to know if Jimtown was in Fayette county. To-morrow morning Sheriff McCormick will setoutwitha pme to visit the three most dangerous points ia the region. He will first visit Leith aud evict two families, and he will then proceed to Trotter and evict the family and belongings of Strourack, the Polander who caused the trouble there on Thursday. He will then join Deputy Crawford at Leisenring No. 2, to serve the injunction papers on a number of those who were engaged in yesterday's riot. Reports to Sheriff McCormick indicate everything is quiet except at I.iesenring No. 2, where the strikers were holding meetings to-day and marching about the works, but no outbreak ia reported. I'siosrows, Pa., April 19. The out breaks at Leisenring, Kyle and Leitb, SaW. day. demonstrated the inability of the civil authorities to handle the striking cokers, and tsLeriU McCormick was compelled to call ujon Gov. Pattison for military aid. In his dispatches to the Governor the Sheriff stated that he and -large posse of deputies attempted to execute a number of eviction writs at the Trotter works, but a mob of 300 strikers prevented them from doing so, and drove them off. He also stated that the water tank at the Kyle works had been blown op with dynamite, and that at Leith a prisoner was rescued from twenty five deputies by a crowd of ZrO strikers. At Leisenring his deputies were also driven off by a mob numbering 200, and during the night 125 men at work at the ovens and in the mines were compelled to quit work. He further stated that be was nnable to secure a sufficient force of deputies to cope with the rioters. In reply to his urgent demands Adjutant General McClelland telegraphed Capt. L. H. Frazier, Company C, Tenth Regiment, or dering him to report to Sheriff McCormick and assist him in maintaining the peace. Hawley for Secretary of War. Washiiwtox, D. C. April 11. The name of Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, is can vassed as among those most Lkely to suc ceed Secretary Proctor in the War Depart ment, if the Secretary shall Jmcceed Senator Edmunds. Model Motive Powpr. The Baltimore aad Ohio Rail Rjad Com pany has recently placed in service on its last trains between New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, three new en gines which are doubtless the finest and fast est ever built in this country. These new flyers bava driving wheels six feet, ix inc li es high and cylinders 20 inches by 24. The large cylinders give them tremendous pow er and the high drivers protect the machine ery from the rack and strain incident to driving smaller engines at great speed. There is practically no limit to the speed to wbi 'h these new marvels may be driven and they skim over the rails as smoothly as a swallow over a lake. Another recent addition to the motive power of the company is a consignment of eight powerful ten wheel passenger engines, designed for service on the mountain divis ions. These are the heaviest ten wheel en gines ever constructed, weighing sixty seven and one-bait tons. Tbey have driving wheels six feet two inches high and cylin ders 21 inches by 3!. One of these machines performs the work heretofore requiring two of the ordinary class and they take the heavy through express trains up the moun tain grades quickly and with perfect ease. The Mt. Clare shops of the company have recently completed an order for ten switch engines of the highest type, and sufficiently powerful to make up a train equal to the full drawing power of a consolidation freight engine. Also three new heavy eight wheel passenger engines, having driving wheels five feet eight inches, and cylinders twenty inshes by twenty-four. These en gines are now doing excellent work ; they are very powerful and susceptible of great speed. In addition to the foregoing the Company has now under construction at its Mt Clare Shops ten powerful ten wheel engines de signed for fast freight service and for heavy passenger trains on occasion, also twelve consolidation freight engines of great power. These additions to its motive power are in line with the other great improvements con stantly being made in the general better ment of the B. A 0. property by its present management, which have been noted by the press from time to time, and the rapid augmentation of the passenger traffic of the Company indicates that the public is quick to recognize the present and constantly in creasing efficiency of its train inservice. Foil r Children in One Crave. Reading, Pa., April IS. An unusual fu neral was witnessed at Ben Church, near Leesport, Berks county, this moming, when the remains of four children of Adam Stout, a well known citizen of Marsh, Chester county, were interred in one grave in the cemetery adjoining the church. The little ones ranged in age from two to seven years and died within forty eight hours, of the measles and grip. Owing to the contagious character of the disease the railroads pre ferred not to furnish transportation to the funeral cortege and the family and the mourners drove a distance of twenty-eight miles. Diptheria, grip and measles, have carried off 200 children within a radius of twentv miles of Reading within a short time. A Fatal Cyclone. LniEUAL, Kansas, April 20. Reports brought in this afternoon state that the Court House at Hansford, Texas, in course of construction and nearly completed, was destroyed by a cyclone on Wednesday after noon. A brick mason and another man were killed, and Huff Wright, acizizenof the little town was injured. Every house was more or less damaged. From there the cyclone traveled in a northeasterly direction to Paludora, a little town on the Beaver river, in Beaver county, Oklahoma, which place is reported entirely destroyed. Both localities are many miles from railroad and telegraph, and this ac counts for the lateness of the reports. Wheal Goea Booming. CnicAoo. Anril IS.
