The Somerset Herald EDWARD 8XLU Editor and Proprietor. WKDKESDAY- Jural l, 1881. Os nd Jler tbe Fourth of July the National flag will ho1. J forty-foot stars. Thi low Prohibitionist have nomi nated full Mate ticket. There will U at least four State ticket in the field this summer, and tbe campaign bid fair to lie the liveliest ever known there. The Cincinnati r.nymrrr, the leading Democratic journal in Ohio, tell the Democracy rery plainly that if Camp bell w renominated be will be defeated. It will be bard to find a man who can beat McKinley. In Alliance men of the Southern State do not propose to desert the Dem ocratic party, but they intend to bo while they support it. They are just now heaving rock and other loose ma terial too near the head of Mr. Cleveland to make that candidate feel comfortable. The Scranton RyulJ.can report that ei-Senator William A. "Wallace expressed the opinion in a recent interview that IViiaon i not big enough for PiesWent or thick enough to spread over more ground than U embraced in the confine of Pennsylvania. vthe ftimat"d wheat crop of ISi'l of 5lt,i'0,0iKt bushels, I'ncle Sam's folk will need at least rVO.OOo" bushels for l.,.msuand will have but WfW,w bushel for export, always the best Land i not heavy mand if promising. The home market is The old rtock on and the foreign de- 1t is very laughable to note the per isteary w ith which the Democratic free trade howlers insist that we cannot make tin plate in this country in competition w ith the foreign-made article. We are expert in making steel and in rolling it into plates, and it is most absurd to sup pose that the trick of tinning it is un known outside of Wale and cannot be miceewfully pursued in this country. Thi estimated value of the wool clip in Washington this year is l,riO,Ksj. Hut the State has also an immense pros pective grain fruit crop. The Great Northern is pushing it line through to the Pacific through "The Flathead" Val ley, said to be the finest agricultural sec tion of the West, and emigrant are inur ing in. Th appropriation under the bill passed by the last Legislature allowing the cbools of Pennsylvania f ",(XHi,O00 a year, instead of li.OOO.WK as now, is not payable until the first Monday in June, Then each district will be paid for every (I paid to it at present. I'nder the old law Cambria county re ceived f2l.2tt2.ii" ; und the new it will receive '3 Jl.w. Bedford will receive ; Somerset, $.W,2.97 ; West moreland, fioi2i7. What's the nse of a Legislature any how ? With an infallible Governor like rattlaon. it is simply throw ing away time and money to elect and send liepreiten Utive to liarrisburg. No absolute mon arch ever wielded greater power over the legislation of hi country than doe oar present Executive. A single stroke of hi pen make law, or defeat the ob ject ana intent of the people' represen tatives. 1 our government of the people, for the people, and by the people, or is it a little monarchy, absolutely sub ject to one-min power? While Governor Pattison is slashing right and left with his veto axe, and knocking into smithereens the labors of many legislative hours, be has not yet touched the Apportionment bill. It is broadly intimated in some quarters, not unfriendly to him, that after knocking out these bill he proposes to call an extra session. We think, howevet, that his former experience with extra ses tiions was not sufliciently encouraging to induce biiu to further experiment in that line. The old adage still hold good that "you may lead a horse to water, but you can't force him to drink." It look very much a if the Governor is going to approve the bill providing for Constitutional Convention, inasmuch at he has approved that item in the gen eral appropriation bill which provide fx the payment of the preliminary ex pense of holding the convention. We do not believe that further tinkering with our State Constitution is called for at this time, nor is it necessary. The supreme law of the land should be fixed and stable, and not subject to frequent changes at the suggestion of theorists, tlreamer, or demagogue. lt well enough alone" ; and so we think the people will decide when tuey come to express their opinion. It ii reported that Sockless Jerry Bimpson and Senator Peffer, of Kansas, whom the accident of politics has thrown npon the surface, are going to take turns in July and August in enlightening the agriculturists of the country a to the beauties of the doctrine enunciated by tbe late convention Held in Cincinnati. About that season of the year the farmer will be better engaged in caring for their abundant crops than in listening to a reci tal of their imaginary wrongs by this pair of ranting demagogue. The very suggestion of opening a political cam paign among farmers at that season of tbe year nbows how ignorant these gen tlemen are of the eternal fitness of thing and of the necessities of the men they undertake to instruct. THt June report of the Department of Agriculture, with the present favorable weather for growing crops, should cer tainly put our farmer in a genial humor. According to the government's estimate of savage and present condition of wheat, the production indicated is any' where from 5ir,(W0,00H to .'.25,1100,000 bushels, or ll,0mi,K to 12t,(t.( bushel in excess of tbe yield of ISO. Foreign advice indicate no improve ment, in fact les hopefulness, in the outlook for crops in Europe, and thi country is looked to for the supply to make good the coming deficiency there, in addition to the usual am Mint annually exported. Government, a well as un official advice, estimate the probable yield of the growing oats crop at HO.OuO, O00 to 127,(JO,(X0 bushels in excess of the short crop of last year. I'nder these promising reports, price have steadied ; speculators who were holding a portion ef last year's crop have commenced to onload ; there will be an early and steady demand for the growing crop a soon as harvested, and our fanners, if they -desire it, can speedily realize at better price than have heretofore been ruling. There is a good lookout ahead for our aericultoral friend. It look as if the Democrat who have been preaching a free trade ciuade, and ho announced that the McKinley bill had, or would send the Republican party to the "demnition bow-wows," are begin ning to see a great light. Here, for in stance, is Roger Q. Mills, who last year went up and down the land preaching the gofprl of free trade, and who de clared in a speech at Minneapolis in October last that "we must have absolute free trade," now that be is a candidate for Speaker of the next House wherein is a Democratic majority of 142 begin ning to heo"ge, and with a wholesome fear of the Protection sentiment of the country, now declaring to everybody that he has "no free trade notions." Mr. Mills is a man of rourage, but he evident ly fears he cannot be elected Speaker of the House unless he repudiate hip free trade doctrine. Four More Act of Assembly Vetoed by the Governor. nKiusn Jane 11. Governor Pattison to-day vetoed four hills. One of them is the act for the incorporation of firemen's relief associations. The second bill disapproved is tbe act au thorizing the publication of additional copies of the "Birds of Pennsylvania." Tbe gov ernor says : "This bill proposes to expend 30,ooo of the public money for the publica tion and distribution of additional copies of the so-called "bird book," which has already cost the State of Pennsylvania $00,0o0. I have no doubt there would be a public de mand for even a very much larger number of copies of this or any other popular book published in an attractive form that tbe State could be induced to print and distrib ute free of cost, but I regard such expendit ure of the public moneys as wholly un warranted and without jurisdiction ia view of the fact that there ha already been print ed and distributed a large edition of this book." The third veto was of an act consolidating educational acta. "This is a local and special bill," says the governor, "regulating the affairs of the school district of the borough of Somerset, so as to exclude from it tbe farms of two individuals now embraced with in its boundaries. Such legislation is em phatically and expressly prohibited by the seventh section of article III, of the consti tution." lie also vetoed the "act to amend an act to establish a State weather sen-ice of this Commonwealth." He says: "This act pro poses to take from the Franklin institute the right of exercising certain duties Jr Uiningtothe State weather service, which It bag heretofore discharged, and to make them subject to the direction and control of the department of internal affair. I know j of no reason why duties of this kind, which can be best performed by scientific experts, should be transferred from an institute of such long and honorable existence a the one in which they were reposed by the act of 1HST, and transferred to the control of a de.art ment which is neither especially adapt ed for them by the purposes for which it is instituted nor by its equipment and organi sation ." American Tin Wins the Day. A" stated in an article on the first page of to-day's Mail and Erprfft, there ia a com mendable patriotic spirit spreading among tbe people, irreiective of political alliances, in favor of American tin as against the foreign-made article. A movement in tbe right direction has been started, commencing with tbe new im migration building on Filis Island. This lmee new coverument structure will not have an inch of foreign-made tin upon any part of it. The contractors, Jacob Ilingle tc Son, have decided that, on a purely busin basis, our domestic tin plate is both better and cheaper than the foreign material. Mr. Ringle's declaration that " outside of any desire we might have to see tbis in portant industry developed in this country, we would turn to our borne made tin be cause of it superiority over the imported article, " is a complete answer to tbe puerile statements of our jaundiced democratic con temporaries, in grossly misrepresenting both the quality and quantity of our American tin product. It is now time for the government to take a bold and firm stand in behalf of this in creasingly important home industry. All public buildings from tbis time, that require tic iuofs, should be roofed only with the home-made material. Tbe eovernmeill. in making future con tracts for roofing public buildings, should make it obligatary upon tbe contractors to use only domestic tin plate. The tib roof to be placed upon the Ellis Island immigrant building will not only be a complete refutation of democratic men dacity, but will also be a telling object les son to all who may be interested in tbe won derful development of American industry. Tbe American tin plate question is des tined to play a conspicous part in the ap proaching Presidential campaign. The Democrats, with their usual lack of political sagacity, have publicly stated such stupid falsehoods and openly assumed such an attitude of hostility to this new Ameri can industry, that they cannot avoid the confusion and disgrace that are inevitably involved in each unpatriotic effort to ob struct Ameaican progress in those interests that tiTect tbe welfare of our people of all parties and of all sections. Another Big Embezzlement Baraslay Discovered. by Under the Boyer Law. Tbe State Board of Ilevenue Commission ers fixed the valuation of personal property in Pennsylvania for 1S!U at $.r4(J,HtVJ0' 12, and the amount of money returnable to counties under the act allowing them one third of three mill tax at toiG.WU 55, leav ing tbe State a balance of $1 ,i!t3,m 37. The new revenue law increases this tax from three to four mills and provides that three, fourths of the revenue derived from it shall be placed in the County Treasuries. If the valuation of personal property should be the same next year as last year, the counties would be entitled to fl.GW.NHG C5, while tbe State's share; would be reduced to $.K,9G..55. Two thousand corporations will be assess ed under the new law. Out of Cambria County's tax the Stat will receive $1.2T0 88, and the county $3,S12 Gl ; Indiany County's tax, the State $1,7:10 28, and the county $5, VM 84 ; Bedford County's tax, tbe State $1, 607 56 and tbe county $4,822 68 ; Somerset County's tax, tbe State $1,929 55, and the county $-,7S8 0- ; Westmoreland County tax, the State t,45 35, and the County $10, 40 05. The two thousand corporations hare been paying in the aggregate over $1,900,000 in stock tax .to tbe State. The Boyer act adds two mills to tbis tax, increasing the revenue from this source alone about $!,." VMI. last ,year tbe Cambria Iron Company, of Johnstown, paid $,5;(1 65; this year it will pay $10,SU 10. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company last year paid $321,010 13: this year it will pay $373,017 90. Tbe Westmore land A Cambria Natural Gas Company last yearpaid$'0i'0; this year it will pay $13, .S3 3i. Philadelphia, June 12. Another start ling discovery of Bardsley 's stealings a City Treasurer was made to-day. Tbe audi ting oommitt'-c appointed by the Mayor found that, in addition to his embezzlement of over $l,2i"i,00f of the State's money, Bardsley bus gotten away with $445,428 of School Fund money paid to him by the tit ate Treasurer for the year ending June 30, 18!'l. This is a loss to the city which, added to tbe money locked up in the two broken banks, will aggregate a total loss to tbe city of $1.X),000. and to the Slate of $1 ,2,W), in all $2,200,"00 so far found. Tbis school money was a part of the an nual appropriation made by the State to the city of Pbiladeiphia as tbe pro rata share of the State school fund. Tbis money was paid to P.ard Vy in various amounts from March, l-0, until December, 1S90, and should have at once been paid into the city treasury. It does not represent any part of tbe $:'2i,oo0 which Bardsley claims to have paid into tha Keystone Bank and for which he holds Marsh's due bills. What be did with this nearly half a million but adds to the astonishing mystery surrounding his gi gantr? robbery. It is not supposed that Bardsley has told his council even of this school fund steal, and the revelation comes as a new surprise, setting people to wonder ing what is to come next It is stated that Attorney General Hensel intends to bold the city of Philadelphia re sponsible for $l,CMJ,o00 of State money lost by ex-Treasuser John Bardsley. He will bold that tbe city is responsible for its treas urer's defalcations. A demand will shortly be made upon the city for the back taxes of 1!J. If the city declines to pay on the ground that she has already paid to the State's agent, John Bardsley, then the At torney General will begin proceedings in court to collect the money from the city. The city officials will not admit that they have assumed the responsibility for State money. THR rUHHT or MAES1I. It Is said that at a conference on tbe Sat urday night before President Marsh's flight, a large sum af money was onered to Marsh and Assistant Cashier Lawrence to leave the country. The sum mentioned by the in formant was $2i,000 each, and an assurance of one week's start on the way to liberty. President Marsh sailed for Burbadoes on the following Wednesday, under an assum ed name. AH the stories since told by in terested parties about having met Marsh on the streets or elsewhere, are parts of the pi ot to shield the missing bank president. Mr. Lawrence declined peremptorily. Bardsley, it is said, was at the conference. SIXTY YEARS May be Bardsley's Prison Term. rHiLAt.KLPHiA, June 11. To-day Assistant District Attorney Kinsey went into court and submitted to a jury without evidence an indictment charging John Bardsley with embezzlement as a public officer, and a ver dict of acquittal was at once returned. Mr. Kinsey 's action dues not prove that he is relenting toward the disgraced ex treasurer, for be said in his addaeas to the jury : "In view of the faet tbat Mr. Bardsley has pleaded guilty upon seventeen hills of in dictment, upon which a maximum punish ment of fifty or aixty years could be Impos ed, longer than any punishment the court may inflict, it would be useless to take up the time of the court in trying the remain ing indictments against him, or the charge which relati1 to tbe transfer of $3,0n0 from deposits of contractors' money to the cash drawer in the city treasury, nd there being some dispute as to the question involved in this charge, I propose to submit this bill, without evidence, and dispose of it." Where all the money went, and who is responsible for its loss, is still worrying a number of persons. City Controller Thomp son in s formal opinion, declares that Phila delphia is not responsible for State moneys appropriated by Bardsley, and ne says that the city treasurer is the fiscal agent of the State, and the city is not responsible for his action to the State ; that tbe State names the city treasurer as its agent to collect tbe money, paying him ten per cent of the col lections, and that tbe State could name any person to collect its money, and is not con fined to the selection of the city treasurer. Such being the case, after the city pays money due the State into the hands of the city treasurer, its responsibility ceases, and the city cannot be held rcsponsibile for the city treasurer's handling of the funds of the State. John Knox's Clock. HcHTiKGnoH, June 14. A remarkable clock is owned by W. H. Woods, which will be taken to the World's Fair and placed on exhibition there as being the most valuable historical relic of the days of John Knox The clock was built at Taisley, Scotland, by John Skeoch, in 1560, for Knox, who died in 1572. This big eight-day clock has been handed down through the family for 150 years, finally com in into the possession of John Wither spoon, father of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Yt hen John Witherspoon, the son, left Scotland in 1758, to take charge of Princeton College, he took the old clock with him, and it was ticking in bis parlor when he was elected to the old Continental Contress When he died his will stated that it should remain in the family, and descend to the first born of each succeeding generation. Ia this way it reached the present owner, who is a lineal descendant of John Knox. The clock is eight feet high, bui It of rosewood with brai works of very heavy make. It is very handsome, and is still a good time keeper. Europe Will Ask Us for Bread. Tbe cable dispatch that the price of wheat is rising in Germany, notwithstanding Chan cellor Capri vis assurances during the debate in the Prussian Diet that there would be plenty of grain from Kaia for Germany's needs, shows the existence of a sentiment that will very soon create heavy export demand for American cereals. There is striking confirmation of this in the facts as to freight engagements here, published ia the 7V prtm of yesterday. Not only have all tbe great European steamship sailing from this port had their space reserved for cargoes engaged months ahead, but a Urge number of tramp steamers hart been chartered for September and October shipment, and large export purchases of wbeat have been made here this week. The tramp steamers art to b; "loaded for orders" and are liable to be sent to any port in Europe where there is a market for the cargo. All this ought to make business hum during this summer and flail. .V. 1. Prru. Dying- From Snake Bites. Krtnisu, Pa,, June 13. A rare and deadly monster, called a king snake fully six feet long, with a head shaped like a double crown, and with brilliant crimson spots over its black back, which terminates with a deadly sting at the tail, has appeared on J K 1-ilbert a farm, near Strausstown, and escaped without being killed. A squad of men representing a Philadel phia museum caught great array of live snakes in the serpent-infested SchnykiU valley the other day. One of the party was bitten on the finger by a copperhead and another by a rattler. Both are expected to die. Mrs, Joseph Ruppert, an aged lady near Hamburg, was severely bitten on the foot by a copperhead while walking in her gar den. Her leg is terribly swolen and she surfers excruciating agony. Frank Danfert, a laborer, near I-ansdale, bandied a big copperhead with the intention of charming it, but the angry monster sunk lis ngs reeaieaiy in iiis hands and be is now dying. Will Marry a Negress. Dovxs, Del., June 11. Daniel Harnett, the young white man who tried to elope with Jennie Budler, a mulatto girl, is still locked up in the Dover jail. His father was in town to-day in consultation with leading lawyers. Hs will try to get the iulatuated youth aboard one of tbe I'nited StaUs training ships and have him sent to sea. The girl is apparently as much in love with Daniel as be ia with Ler, and since her white lover has been locked up she has threatened .that unless he is released and allowed to marry ber, she will burn up the buildings on tbe Harnett farm. A warrant will likely be issued for her arrest. Three Were Killed. Altoosa, Pa., June 12. While coming down the mountain from Lloydjville to Bellwoodon the Pennsylrania and North western Railroad at midnight a heavy coal train got beyond coutrol of tbe trainmen and dashing down the grade was smashed into kindling wood at a curve on the side of a deep ravine three miles north of Bell wood. Among th debris was the bodies of the conductor, engineer and onebrakeman, with almost all semblance of humanity crushed out of them. The other train bands escap ed with their lives, but all were more or less injured. A Flrht With a Bear. WiLiun'rosT, Ps , Jane 14. A party of gentlemen who have just returned from a fishing expedition up Kettle Creek, tell of a startling adventure which happened a wood man named Ben Hurd, living in the Black Forest, last Thursday. The region close to where Hurd lives escaped the ravages of the flames and smoke during tbe forest fires late this spring, and for that reason the neigh borhood is infested wilh wild animals, who sought refuge there from tbe fins. On Thursday morning as Hurd and bis daughter, while some distance from home, looking after the prospects of the hackle berry crop, they came acruf a bear and her three cubs. Sbe at once assumed the offen sive and made for Hurd, who was unarmed. The girl, frightened nearly out of her wits, started fur a bark peelers' ramp, about a quarter of a mile farther up the mountain, for help. When she reached the camp, nearly exhausted by ber fearful run, she could scarcely tell the location of the fight that was then taking place between tbe man and bear. A man in the camp namad James Callahan understood enough of the discon nected sentences to immediately hasten to tbe rescue. He picked up an axe, the first thing that came to hand, and ran through the woods at his utmost speed. As he n ear ed the spot he gave a loud cry which Hurd faintly answered. Callahan was just in time, for when he came upon them the bear bad Hurd in a deadly embrace, with every bit of clothing torn in shreds from bis body. Callahan took in the situation at a glance and dashed at the bear with uplifted axe. The blow caught the monster in the back and the bear died a few minutes after. Hurd was so weakened from loss of blood by his desper ate fight for life that he fell in a swoon at the feet of the dead bear. A few minutes later several others from the camp arrived, and between them Hurd was patched up with enough wearing apparel to set home, about two miles distant The old bear and the cubs were subsequently carried into the camp. Grant's Chosen Attendant. Xsw Have, Conn , June 11. Edward Whelahan, who died here yesterday, was nearer to the bead of the I'nion army for a longer time than any other mau. He was a trooper in Company B of the Fifth Connec ticut Cavalry, but was detailed as the per sonal orderly of General Grant. When Grant rode out the armed cavalryman rode 15 paces behind to personally guard his com mander. Wherever Grant walked there Whelahan followed. If Grant remained in his tent he stayed near. For days and days the Xew Haven trooptrwent without tak ing off his clothes while he guarded Grant. The trooper was a tall, powerfully built man of splendid military bearing, a bold and skilful rider, a soldier of recognized bravery, and a faithful man. Grant selected him from the ranks out of the entire army for his bodyguard. Whelahau never tired of defending the Generai's character, and he stoutly main tained that Grant was not a drinking man during the war. "If you had chased Grant around as much as I have," he used to say to anybody who referred to the charges that have been made against the old Commander, "you wouldn't say there was anything the matter with his habits." Died by Thousands. Chicago, June 13. W. A. Thompson an American who is in the Chinese custom ser vice at Whampos, China, is now in tbis city. He ssys that the grip swept over the Chinese Empire in February last and hundreds of thousands cf natives died of the disease. ' The Chinese physians," said Mr. Thomp son, "were unable , to say what disea.se was causing tbe enormous increase in the death rate and the result was a panic. The Mon golians imagined that an evil spirit was demonstrating his wrath by sending a plague among them, and they went through the streets of all the large cities beating drums todrivethe evil spirit out of the country. During one wee, in China fully 10,0m) peo ple were buried." Struck Dead with a Cleaver. Pit ilapelfhia, June 14. John C. Emery, aged .V), a butcher, was struck dead at the Twelfth street market Saturday afternoon as the result of an altercation with Joseph Salus, another butcher. Salus killed Emery by a blow on the neck with a cleaver, from which he died almost instantly. Salus was arrested and locked up. Last Wednesday Emery loaned a basket to a cus tomer which they agreed to leave with Salus, who was to bring it to Emery's stall. When tbe latter entered tbe market this afternoon Salus told him that he bad been told tbat he accused him of keeping the basket. In the altercation which followed Salus grasp ed a cleaver and suddenly struck Emery a blow on the neck. Successful Skin Crafting. Kaksas Citv, June 14. The successful grafting of skin sufficient to patch up two legs was completed here yesterday. A year ago A. C. Fulkerson stepped by mistake in to a vat of boiling grease. The flesh of the legs from the knees down was cooked away. The only method of repairing the damage was by grafting skin from other human be ings upon the injured members. One hundred and sixty per sons, Odd Fel lows and Knights of Pythias, of which or ganizations Fulkerson was a member, con tributed portions of their anatomy to be used in piecing up Mr. Fulkerson's wounds. The grafts were about l.noo in number, and in the majority of cases were successful. Fulkerson was out to-day, enjoying the use of both limbs. Human Brain In a Rabbit. New York. June 11. In Dr. Loomis's laboratory, No. 412 East Twenty-sixth street, is a rabbit, and to-day part of the brain of lawyer Richard 8. Bartfne, who died at As bury Park of hydrophobia, wai injected through an incision in the rabbit s skull to a point between the touh and tender cover ing in the brain, and then the hole in the skull was closed up. Dr. Francis A. Abbott, Jr., procured the bit of brain tissue, by which he proposes to demonstrate whether hydrophobia is a disease or simply a subjec tive ailment. Dr. Abbott said he would have no report to make on the experiment until the first meeting of the Academy of Medicine, in October. Horwes Knew the Infant. Castoh, 0., June 11. A remarkable illus tration of equine intelligence is reported from Buck Hill. A man named Marshall was driving into town with a two-horse team pulling a load of bay. He fell asleep, leav ing his team to go as it pleased. A hired girl of one of the neighbors had been trund ling a little child in a low-wheeled buggy and while stopping to chat with a friend carelessly left the buggy in the middle of the road just as tbe heavily-loaded hay wagon came along. The driver of the wagon was suddenly awboned lv tbe wagon cou.; - nH. still. The sleepy fellow rubbed his eyes and saw bis two quiet and sensible horses calm ly investigating the buggy and its infant oc cupant which was directly in their path, and which they had refused to run down. Tbe child's buggy had been struck by the wagon tongue, upsetting it, and throwing the child under the wheel:. A Fearful Ride. Altoosa, Pa., June 12. While coming down tbe mountain from Lloydsville to Bellwood on the Pennsylvania and North western raliroad about midnight last night a heavy coal train got beyond control of the trainmen, and dashing down the perilous grade at a fearful rate of speed was piled up and smashed into kindling wood at a curve which is on the side of a deep ravine, about three miles north of Bellwood. As it came thundering down the mountain with every man at his post and doing his utmost to check it mad (light, the whistle screamed out it shrill alarm, and when the awful crash and then silence came, it was not long uutil willing hands aad feet were hurrying to tbe scene, which proved to be one of death and destruction . The engine and 25 cars which had been loaded with coal lay piled up in a mass of broken wood and twisted iron at the bottom of the ravine, and among the debris were the bodies of the conductor, engineer and one brakeman, with almost all semblance to humanity crushed out of them. The Columbian Express, via Penn sylvania Raliroad. The new fast train to Chicago by the Penn sylvania Railroad, which entered the service on June 7th as the Chicago Secial, has been rechristened "The Columbian Express" in honor of tbe great fair. In bestowing this title on the new train, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has taken the initiative among the railroads in recognizing the mer its of the World's Exposition by providing special facilities for the comfortable and speedy movement of visitors. The train is particularly worthy of bearing tbe honored title. It is tbe ripest example of train con struction, as it contains accommodations for those who desire luxurious apartments as well as for those who seek the comforts of a well-appointed paasenger coach. The Pull man drawing-room sleeping and dining cars, and ita cherry passenger coaches, are all vestibuled. The Columbian Express leaves New York 4,00 p. m., Philadelphia C 25 p m., liarrisburg 9.30 p, m. every day, arriving at Chicago 5.15 p. m. tbe next day. A Fireman's Fatal Dream. Nxw York, June 11. Dreaming that an alarm had been sent in, Fireman Gustave Nagle, while asleep at engine house No. this morning, jumped from his bed and leaped for the brass pole through a bole in the floor by which to slide instantly to the lower story. He fell in a heap at the bottom, and was picked up unconscious and taken to a hos pital, being badly injured about the back and limbs.

Alex Boyd, living at Beeson, near here, shot and killed his grandmother at an early hour this morning. Recently Boyd was robbed and his little store burned down, so when his wife awak ened him und said .she heard someone at the door, he was quick to jump up and get bis revolver. He said he called out twice to know who was there and then fired. The old woman had got up and gone out of the house and was just coming in when she re ceived the shot and died instantly. The coroner has been sent for to hold an inquest, and Boyd is in jail. Robbed His Cuard and Fled. Trcsox, Ariz., June 12. Henry Miller, convicted in the 1". S. Court at Florence on lue lotu inn,, ur rumtug m.v tr. o. mail oe tween Florence and Casa Grande and sen tenced to ten years imprisonment at bard labor in San Quentin, Cal., has made his escape.

When they awoke Miller was gone. He bad picked the pockets of one of the sleeping guards, taking his watch. He went to a blacksmith shop near by and removed his shackles. Lightning's Leaping. Zasksville, June 14. The lightning play ed a peculiar freak at the residence of F. J. Tarry, a prominent resident of this city. His grandson, daughter and wife were sitting in the kitchen during a severe storm. The boy was just in front of the window blowing soap bubbles, while the othere were back further. A hall of fire, six or eight inches in diame ter, seemed to pats directly through the glass of the window, gliding over the head of the boy, passed over the head of Mr. Tarry daughter, and exploded with a sound like a pistol-shot. All three persons were shocked, but not seriously. The People Hemmed In by a Flood. Arkansas Citt, Kas., June 15. A gentle man who has just arrived here from Greer county, in tbe extreme southwestern part of the Indian Territory, says that the Red river and its north fork have been out of their banks for over a week, completely hemming the people in and cutting olf all communica tion with the outside world. The rainfall has been terrible, and the pecule are suffer ing everywhere. Over half the wheat crop has ' tn entirely ruined, and corn and oats are nearly all killed.
