"Throwing Jonah overboard" will be where the fun comes in at the Chicago convention. If Hill is Jonah it will kill the whale, sore pop. The friends of "the fat prophet" begin to see that they w:ll have a vindictive and malicious opposition ia their own party to contend with. Ir Uncle Jerry Host wants to be Vice President he would do well to look after Lia weather bureau. Corn-planting is near at hand and continued wetness is cot desirable. The trouble with the free silver men is that they are altogether too free. They talk and act as if tl ey regarded the government merely as a bureau for the promotion of speculation in mining fctoeks. At the lliair county Republican pri mary election Saturday the vole for Uni ted States Senator resulted : Quay 4 ",02 ; Dalzell, 1 r,j7. Hon. B. L. Hewitt and Dr. A. S. Stayer were nominated for the Ijegislature. A Ri'Moi: comes from Ohio that Cleve land iB to withdraw in fjvor of ex Gov ernor Campbell of that State, as he is con vinced that Mr. Watterson is right in his judgment that neither Cleveland nor Hill can carry New York. Ferhapi the Campbells are coming. A DcMockATir Congressman, Mr. Hare, of Ohio, in a printed interview, declares that if President Harrison and Mr. Cleve land are the nominees, Cleveland wio lose New York and Harrison will be elected. This is a reasonable conclusion by a Democratic partisan. It is all very well for the Democrats to talk about removing the bounty from do- luestic sugar, but they don't dare do it w hile the South controls the Democratic party in Congress. That bounty benefit Democratic States more tban any other and the Democrats w ill never vote to re move it. Tn 7 Democrats in Congress com plain that they have been "aided and en couraged by the eighty-seven Republi cans" in wasting the people's money in extravagant appropriations That small Republican minority must exert a remar kable influence over the innocent major ity w hich is three times its size. Toe Richmond (Va.) Tuna, referring to "the enormous amount required for pensions," kindly says: "Relief cannot be suspected until both branches of Con gress and the President are ia Democrat ic hands." Just read that between the lines and you have the Democratic dec laration of o!iey tow ard Union soldieif, While "the Watih-dr-g of the Treasu ry," Congressman Holman, had Lis fin ger on tbe spigot his Democratic breth ren knocked in the head of the barrel, and used good, old-fashioned scoops. They kindly threw a handsome pile into Brer Hohuan's Indiana district, w hich w ill doubtless I soothing in its effeclj. " We declare that this . the tariff; isthe paramount issue in the Presidential cam paign" is the language of the Iowa Demo cratic Convention, and then they ignore Mr. Cleveland to put up Governor Boies. This is stealing Mr. Cleveland's thunder, for that was the burden of his campaign in 1SSS. The Iowa Democrats are unjust and ungrateful. Let no one believe that the negroes in this country are dying off. They have increased from 4.000,000 in Lincoln's time to 7,000.000 now. Whaterer their death rate may be now, it will be im proved under better sanitary con lit ions. The colored man is here to stay. The South can kill him neither by statistics nor shotguns. The Republican Congressional Cam pa;gn Coaiaiittee is organized and ready for business with Senator Higgins, of Delaware, as chairman and Hon. Edward MjPlierson, of Pennsylvania, as scereta r, There will be a great deal of woik f r thU cotnmiltee, but if it shall follow the energy of its chairman and secretary it will do that work very effectively. Tins Democratic Cot gress is treating thj country to an exhibition of plain and fancy Treasury Luting such as will great ly simplify the stay to Republican victo ry in November. As the veto of a Re piblican president stands between the c-j'iutry and the raiders, it is, perhaps, just as well that they should go ahead knd show how completely they would empty the Treasury if they had the pow er. enato2 Dave llai has sprang anoth er sensational claim in the Democratic camp. He declares that the new appor tionment should not govern the selection of electors and that the number of dele gates to the Chicago convention should therefore be governed by the old appor tionment. Senator Dill ia a very cute politician, but the new. apportionment w ill govern the selection of Presidential eWtors this year just as it did in 1872. Hill begins to see that under the new pportionmTit the llernoerats Lave a very slim chan -e of electing a President in ISC The inTea-ie of population baa ! been in Republican StaUs, and there will j be the increase ia the electoral vote. TnE death of Vetted State Senator Barbour, of Virginia, occurred at an ear ly hour Saturday. lie aa in the seven ty -second year of his age.

One-third of all ( loreroment bonds are held as collateral in the Treasury to secure the National bank circulation. These are the same bonds which twenty-five years ago Dem ocratic statesmen freely and openly de clared "would be repudiated and never be paid." These large holdings of Amer ican securities have been returned to the United States in lieu of gold. They are as good as gold, and we hare plenty of the yellow coin left. McKislet law stock steadily risea The next settling day is in November. People who know what's what are com ing in out of the wet. The "robber tar iff" may do all right as a bugbear, but the long-headed foreign manufacturer is beginning to see which side of the ocean be can butter Lis bread best on, and is acting accordingly. For instance here's E. Morewood A Co., of Wales, who have broken ground for a tin-plate plant at Elizabeth port, N.J., three quarters of a mile from New York. They expect to make "i,000 boxes a week. Did they im migrate for their health ? They foresa w that this country was going to make its own tin plate, and they wanted to con tinue in the business even at a new stand. What is doing this? The Mc Kinley law. Democracy at Washington. From tbe N. Y. Presp. Tbe Fifty -second House of Representa tives will be a "billion doiiar House. The pretense of Democratic economy has been thoroughly exploded. Tbe omeial pledges that the appropriations of tbe Filly second House would show a reduction of f PiiO mj frm those of the Fifty-first House have been broken like every other Democratic pledge to tbe people. The raid on tbe United States Treifcury is in full wing. Tbe overwhelming Democratic ma jority bss refused to provide for adequately continuing tbe work of naval construction. It has refused to vote the money needed to mate the great sea-coast cities of the United States secure from attack. It has refused to allow tbe payment of decent salaries to Uni ted States consuls. It has refusd to appro priate tbe small amount required for a sys tem of fanitary drainage and a suitable elec tric light plant at the nation's military acad emy. But it has passed a river ana naroor bill that appropriates $'Jl,3.'K,975 for imme diate expenditure, and j'J0,702,3Jl for ex penditure in the near future. Tbe Republican party has always favored generous appropriations for the improve ment of the Rreat harbors and waterways of tbe country. For tbe $19,H73,!H5 appropri ated for this purpose by tbe Fifty-first House it has no apologies to make. But that Home, besiJei passing deficiency bills of J ,("'.X', provided for the construction of rival vessels with an aggregate tonnage of 4o.iO, against the single S.j-M ton vessel authorized by the present House. It appro priated $-4,ii,!ir)o for fortifying the harbors of the United States. It did not attempt to staive tbe consular service. Yet tbe total sum which it appropriated during its first session was less by a score of millions than the amount which, according to reliable D-'Oiocratic authority, will be voted by tbe present House at this session. Tbe people have bad one more lesson as to what Democratic control of one branch of Congress means. Tbe Democratic irty has had one more opportunity to demonstrate its incompetence, creed and lack of patriot ism. It has shown for tbe hundredth time that it does not know how to govern. It can only plunder aud blunder aud obstruct. It has invited the defeat which the voters stand prepared to administer. A Timely Shot. Walkxs, Fa.. May 13. Lloyd Raver, a 14 year-old son of Robert Raver, of Garfield, this County, last night shot and killed ("has Harrington, an ex-convict of tbe Western penitentiary. Late in tbe year lSSo Charles Harrington won the affections of Minnie Raver, aged 13, and induced her so leave borne and life with bim in a lumber camp near EtnlentoD, Venango county. The girl's father secured Harrington's arrest and after a bard-fought trial be was convicted and sentenced to four yrars iu the Western penitentiary. After bis rciease Harrington returned to G: ie!d, w here be continued to meet tbe girl and tried to persuade her to again go u na Lim. Aiinme had grown into quite a bandsonie woman, and Harrington, who seemed to be deeply infatuated with ber, threatened to kill her unl ss she went with him. The parents and brother interfered, aud Harrington nourished a revolver and paid be would have the girl or kill the whole family. Oiicers were scut for and after a struggle Harrington was arrested and placed in jail. He was arain convicted and sentenced to tbe Western tienitentiary, this time for one year and tbree months. He became despe- ra.e and swore if be could not have the girl be woul J be revenged on the old man and his sou. A few days igo tbe second sentence ex pired and Harringtcn went directly to the Raver residence. Here be was met by Llovd. who calmly told tbe ex convict that he could not see the girb Harrington grew boisterous and threatening, but finally went awsy, it was supposed, for good. Mr. Rav er, believing ail was right, started on a bus iness trip to Virginia, leaving Lloyd and his tbter alone at borne. Harrington, however, had not given up the purpose be had planned long before and continued to ban j a'oout the place. Late last night the climax came. Lloyd says be was awakined by a barumermg at the door, and on going to tbe viudow saw Harring ton below. When asked what be wanted, Harrington responded that Lloyd knew well enough whom be wanted; he wanted to see Minn-e. and that right away. Upon being told that be could n ot see the grl, the ex- convict began cursing and kicking at tbe door. Not succeeding in making any im pression with his boot heels, be picked up a rock and begin battering the door down. He had nearly succeeded in doiag so when ' the door swung open. ; With a triumphant laugh Harrington leaped across the threshold, only to fall dead the next moment, joang Lloyd, with a Wiucbecter rifle, having sent a ball through tbe convict's bead, at once wiping out the persteutor of his sister and tbe enemy of bis family. Tbe boy's aim was true, tbe ball entering Harrington's forehead, and not any too sevin, as be had a revolver in his band ready for use had the bullet not stopped bia career. Young Raver immediately gave himself up, and at the inquest held by Coroner I'-erce a verdict was rendered that Raver had killed Harrington in self defense. Ha will be given a trial, however, but public sentiment ta unanimous ia indorsing tbe shooting. The Raver family is very respect able and well to-do, while Harrington Las always led a wild life, and through that sort of influence first gained control of tbe girl's anVctions by poking as a heroic character. Hairicg'on was about X yean of age and good locking. Every Miner Was Killed. Co-its, Wa?h , May 11. The exact cause of the terrible explosion in the ooal mine ycateday, in which thirty-four roec perished will probably never be known, as it is now curiam mmi cirri uutu in me mine was killed. The most reasonable theory is that a miner t truck a g4 pot Let or feeder, which suddenly filled the lo;and became ignited by the miner 'i lamp. At 3 o'clock this tftemoon fourteen bodies bad been taken out. The work of relief ia alow owing to the wrecked condition of the interior of the mine, and possibly firty-ignt hours more will elapse before the lowest level U reached. A mtnur is ia circulation that the stop work has been considered dangrroua foi three mouths, but men wbo have been working steadily say it is cot true. Every morning the miner have been inspected by a compe tent furemao and his report bulletined. Floods In The West. law msec, Kan., Way 1.1. A heavy rain has been tailing for tbe last twenty lour hours and tie city is almost flooded. Tbe Kansas river steadily rises. Large quantities of driftwood and debris lodging against its piers seriously threaten the iron wagon bridge between North and South Lawrence. The water U too bigh to run water wheels and all the factories have shut down. The Union Pacific freight depot ia in danger of being thrown into the river, as the water baa washed away the land until now only ten feet of ground remains between tbe depot and river, and this narrow strip is rapidly melting away. Kansas Citt, Mo., May 13 Additional news of the damage by tbe flood continues to come in. Grand river is reported to be twenty miles wide at its mouth. Nearly all of Saline county is overflowed, fences being all earned away and railroads washed out. From Arrow Rock, one hundred miles down the river, the news comes of the ttaring up of M-veral farm houses.

Trains Delayed by Caterplllara. Raliic.h, N. C, May 12. Caterpillars are so thick in tbe southern part of the 8tate i.s to delay trains on tbe North Carolina Central Railway, just as they did a year ago.

Doylestows, Pa., May 12-rThe sensation of being bung was experienced yesterday af ternoon by Evan Hamilton, the S year-old Q ol Oscar Hamilton, wbo lives on Slate street The child was nearly strangled, and bis neck got such a severe wrenching that it will likely ache for days to come. Evan was playing in the yard with seve ral other children when one of them sugges ted that they play "lynching." A stout rope was cecurtd. in one end a slipping noose was tied. Tbe other end was thrown across the limb of a tree, and by using a large box 10 sianu upon, me cuiiuren tied toe rore se curely to the limb. Tbe noose bung down just far enough to slip over Evan Hamil ton's bead when be stood upon tbe box. Everything waj in readiness for the sham banging, or, as they raid, lynching, to take place. Evan Hamilton volunteered to be the first victim and the others were to be tbe mob. Evan clambered upon tbe box, atoo I upon his tip tots, put the noose over bis bead, adjusted the knot, iu true hangman style under the left ear, but horror ! In standing upon bis toes be overturned the box and it roiled from nnder bis feet. The ucose was jerked fearfully tight about bis neck, so t:ght he could not cry for help. His feet did not touch tbe ground and tbe suffering boy bung suspended from the limb of the tree. The otLer children were too excited and to much frightened at tbe catastrophe . to offer assistance to their helpless companion. Bot they could use their littie lungs, which they did in earnest, and their screams alone saved Evan Hamilton's life. His mother heard tbe cries and rushed out. She found ber son hanging limn and stiff. His face was already much discolored. In a twinkling the mother lifted np the son and unfastened the treacherous noose. The unfortunate lad had been almost strangled to deith, and it was some time before he could give an account of bis suffering. His neck was badly cut by tbe rope an d it bad Uen severely twisted, but bis injuries are in no way serious. His worst hurt, very naturally, was fright.

John McClarren, of Cambria county, who was taken to Dixmont Insane Asylum on Thurwlay, 5th inst, died at that institution the following Monday. Tbe evidence taken at the ooron-r's inquest Tuesday indicates that McClarreu's death was due to tbe beat icg be raeived while in the custody of the Cambria county o (beers. The Pittsburgh papers say there is strong evidence that the immediate cause of Engi neer John McClarren 's death Monday at Dixmont Insane Asylum was blows inflict ed on his bad by the officers of Cambria county In the Ebenaburg jaiL whence be was taken to tbe Aylaru last Thursday. The following is what th 7W says : A partial inquest was held by Deputy Coroner Grant Miller upon tbe body Wed nesday afternoon, avd was continued until Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, in tbe Coroner's office, on account of a lack it material witnesses, but tbe proceedings went far enough to develop a most shocking story. McClarren was a railroad engineer by occupation, and bad been slightly demented for about ten years. He was forty-five years old, and resided with bia aged parents at SummerhiiL He was not kept constantly confined, as his condition was not consid ered dangerous, and on April 30th he got possession of a bottle of whisky in some manner and in a abort time was terrorizing everybody within reach. He imagined he was pursued by White Caps. His relatives succeed jd in securing bim, and be was con fined in a second-story room in tbe house. He was quiet for a little while, but just as bia friends bad about concluded that be would make no more trouble, tbey were startled to bear a crashing of glass, nd Mc Clarren was seen to leap out of bia impro vised prison to tbe ground, twenty feet or more below, carrying the sash and glass of the window with him. He escaped and was at liberty a day or two before being run down and captured. The maniac was finally overtaken, and was found in a worse condition than when be made bis flying leap from the bouse. He was now apparently violent at all times, and was sent to jail at Ebensburg. On May 5th an order of Court wai issued com mitting him to Dixmont, The Sheriff and bis Deputy repaired to bis cell to take bim into custody and proceed with bim to tbe asylum. According to their statements, made to officers at the Dixmont Asylum, be resisted being taken from bis cell, and to subdue him he was beaten over tbe bead with a heavy club until he complied with their orders. Tbe names of the officers were not learned by tbe Dixmont authorities, but the man wbo said be gave the blows, it is believed, U the Deputy. The prisoner was also beaten on bis way to tbe hospital. He sank rapid ly after reaching there, and died Monday afternoon. McClarren'a body showed several bruises and bis bead several cuts. One on bis bead was shaped like the letter N, and was only a scalp wound. It was received when be jumped out of tbe window, as be fell on bis bead. Another was eight inches long, di rectly across the crown, extending almost from ear to ear. Another was on tbe right side, near the ear, and still another on the left aide. Both of tbese1atter were wounds which cut the scalp. Immediately on McClarren'a death the authorities of tbe institution telegraphed to his friends, telling them of his death, aud tbey went to the city Thursday morning to receive the body. But Dr. George G. Gra ham, Assistant Superintendent of the Asy lum, was not satisfied to let tbem have it nnder tbe circumstances, until be could bold a post-mortem examination. Tbey gave bim permission and his investigation showed McClarren's skull to I e frsctnred in three places, tbe brain clotted at the wounds, and his body showing evidences of severe beating. Tbe skull was opened, and one fracture eight incurs in length, from the right to the left side, was found. Two brain clots were found on the left side above tbe ear, and one clot on tbe riebt above tbe ear. These injuries bad caused death, and in Dr. Graham's opinion tbe case was one for investigation by tbe coroner. So he sent word to the office of that official, and Mr McDowell being absent, Deputy Miller went' to Dixmont and conducted tbe proceedings as stated. Dr. Graham and Alexander Morrow, head nurse, testified to tbe statements made by the Sheriff and his Deputy. James Mc Clarren, a cousin of the deceased, testified to tbe facts regarding bis escape from his father's bouse. Dr. Graham said the wounds in bis head were evidently made by a blunt instrument. James T. Young, Warden of tbe j ail, in wbese charge the man was most of the time was interviewed at Ebensburg, and said sub . stantially as follows : " McClarren was brought here tbe even ing of the 31 of May by tbe Constable of Summerhill Township, accompanied by two other men. His bead was bandaged, and when aked why, the Constable replied that McClarren had jumped out of a window and attacked a man, and could only be gotten off by striking bim, which had wounded bis bead. " The insane man was kept until Thur. day morning, when Sheriff Shumaker an d I took him to Dixmont It required the uni ted strength of five men to put the straigbt- ja ket on bim, but he was not struck in the ope ration, " He was strapped in a chair, both on tbe Ebensburg Branch and tbe main line, and by the time we reached Pittsburgh was so quiet that he was put in a smoking car along with othtsr passengers, to be taken out to tbe Asvlum. " Whatever irj'iries the man received were given before bis arrival at Ebensburg, or after bis delivery to th; Asylum authori ties, as he was never struck a blow while in my care. I also emphatically deny telling Dr. Graham that I was compelled to nse a club npon tbe patient to subdue him,' THE SHEBtrr EXOSEBATED. The inquest into the death of John Mc Clarren was concluded Saturday and a ver dict rendered exonerating Sheriff Shumak er, of C.mbria county, and also tbe manage ment of Dixmont Hospital. It was found bis death was due to a beating by Charles Topper and James Bunting. Topper testi fied McClarren bad at night broken into tbe bouse of Bunting, who is Topper's father-in-law, and demanded to be allowed to many Bunting's daughter at once. He became vi- lent and tried lo make bis way to the girl's room. Topper struck him with a potato masher. A struggle ensued and Bunting al so nsed tbe potato masher npon McClarren. Action in tbe matter was left to tbe Cam bria aothorities, but it is likely no arrest will be made. Blair County' Vote. JIouDiTSBi t;.
