" If a Kepubli.-an President had ever g on in to the While House and closed the doors and sassed the men who nude him from an upper w indow he would have gone into "innocuous desnetude." The talk about "no time fr business" is nonsense. Lincoln and Trent and Arthur and Har rison attended to business, but they still found time to be civil to their friend" and to the people of every das. It is reported at Wa-hiugton, on appar ently good authority, that Secretary Carl isle has decided to dismiss e very liepub lican employee in the Treasury lejart nient who is not protected bvthe "Civil Service laws." It is added, also, that be has made tip his mind to turn out all de partment employes who neglect to vote, w hether they 1 IlepnViieans or Demo crats.

The bumptious lo cal committee has agreed to postpone the final decision for another week, hoping that the National Committee will surren der by that time. Meanw hile the churxh esand churchmen of all denominations have taken up the question and petitions from ail j arts of the land are beirg for warded to President Cleveland beseech ing him to use the authority .f the gov ernment to prevent the open desecration cf the day. Some of tic protectants, in the warmth of their zeal, are running to extremes an i rendering themselves ridiculous the State San lay School Convention ia West itginia having solemnly res-.lved to K vcott tiie 1 air if cpe::-d on Sunday, while the l2ii.e memUrs of the Pirst J'lvshvtcr.sn Church in IWton telegraph ed the President to meet the issue "with iat ksouian tirtiitiess and to guard the ! salts next Sbbth with the troo:j if i liecessary," ami still another patriotic riti-t-u demands tliat Pennsylvania w ith drjw the old Liberty Pell from the ex hihits, so that it w ill not le desecrated w l-eing looked at on t-'uuday.

Beautifully engraved notes costing only the price of the print ing and the paper, will be issued to the farmers w ho deposit their good money in these iu'titutions. Money will for a time be cheap and plentiful, prices of produce ill boom, and everything will be love ly, until some capitalist or large note holder wants to realize on hi3 holdings. The bank has not now nor never had the specie with w hich to redeem its notes.

Colborn vs. Somerset county- In l-'73an Act of Assembly was passed abolishing the State tax on horses and cattle to take ttr.-ct in isTt. The taxing authori ties continued to collect the tax notwith standing the repeal of the law until H7S or '7'.'. when the several counties discovered the mistake and colltcted the amounts, from the State that had been erroneously paid. In '82 the commissioners of this county employed Mr. Colbom to recover from the State the amount it had erroneously paid. Mr. Col born went to work on the matter and oa April ls-7, procured a credit for the coun ty of $"-oI'.7:, fjr the years '7 , '7') and '77, ot w hich he claimed ." per cent , the amount the county hal agreed to pay hiia. The commissioners declined to pay Sir. Colborn's claim and he secured judgment for the amount from a Justice of the Peace, w hen the commissi oners ai-valed the matter to arbitrators. The arbitrators ;three lawyers; lound in Mr. Cjluorn's favor, but the com missioners theu appealed the matter to Court. A jury was cslied to hear the case. Atter argument to the Court on the legal points iuolved Judge Longenecker directed the jury to return a verdict ia favor of the plaintiti'for i,ii.?Z, the amount of his claim with interest. TlitJ lefdnse s-t up wasthat Mr. Colboru being a member of the legislature at the time the contract was entered into it was against public policy .to pay him for la bor ierfoniied in behalf of the county. Sin.iiar actions were brought by lawyers in other counties of the Commonwealth, some of w hom recoverod as high as per cent, of the atijuunt collected through their ellorts. " srcOKs" SOT L1A1 LE FOK DAMAOES. The jury called to decide the case of Miss Josie Siiafer vs. ticorge Ed man and John V.igel practically decided by their verdict tb at thtre is no redress from ghosts by civil pr Ktedure ia this commonwealth . Miss Shafer, w ho is a resident of Somerset borough, was engaged at teaching school in Allegheny township during the fall of ltv3;. The defendants were also teaching schools in the same township. Miss Shafer boarded in the village of John-burg where stories werecurreut regarding two ghosts, the one that of a woman w ho had met death by m ans of poison, and the other that of ber hu-band who had cut his throat over her grave, apjeari!!g in the village grave yard on certain nights where they cut up ail sorts of capers among the headstones. The defend ants decided to convince Miss Shafer that the stori.si were not myths and to this end. tiiey gave her and a girl frit-ad a practical I lustration. It so happened that Miss Shafer and her friend were compelled to pass the grave yard one evening shortly after dark in order to reach their boariing bouse, an I when they approach J it two figures, one clothtd in white and the oiher iu dark sheets suddenly apieared among the head stones and caoie towards them. The plain- till testified that she was so badly frightened by the ghosts that she became unconscious of her BU'roun lings. Tue young ladies managed to get to their boarding bouse some time afterwards. Two or three days follow ing Miss Shafer was taken violently ill and it was several weeks before ber physician would permit her friends to remove ber to the home of ber grand-father in Somerset ; ha was compelled to abandon teaching and aliegef that her health was permanently in jured by reason of the shock she received. A number of witnesses were called to corrobo rate the statements of the plaintitT. The del" 'nuants d:d not deny that they had enacted the chura.-ler of "soooks" for the purpose of scaring the younj la lies on t ic occasion mention i, bat they insisted that Miss Siiafer'g ill hea'.'h was due to other causes and not to the fright they had been the means cf giving her. Several witnesses testified that the plaintiff did not show any evidence of frigh; tollowing the apea-anc of the ghosts iu the cemetery, but that she referred to the occurrence in a joking tumnit r. The trial of the case consumed the time of t-ie Court parts of Wednesday. Thursday and Friday, at: 1 was ably conducted on both s-i.es. The verd.ct was for the defendants. t tSkS IMSlVSEO OF CONTIXI'ID. In the ca- of Frank Murray vs. J. L.

So far as the rail roads centering in Fitteburg ere concerned the limit of the damige anil inconvenience resulting from the high water has been reach ed. The water ia now reced.mj in the rivera and creeks along the various lines according to the reports received at the city headquart ers of the roads. At New Castle, Ta.. the Shenango this morning was five ftet higher than ever known before. All last eight families were taken from their houses and the work is still going on. A break is threatened in the levees west of New Castie at any moment, and Mayor Kichardson sent the entire police force aud lire detrtmeat to warn the people of Souih New Castle to tlee to the bills. A break will j cover that part of the city to a depth of at least twelve feet. Since midnight over ten miles of the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio track between New Castie and Sharon, has been ruined. A large railroad bridge near the .Etna furnace went down this morning carrying with it twenty loaded cars. Several bridges and houses floated down the Shenango this morn ing, and the animals and farmers have suf fered. Boats are plying in three feet of wat er on the principal streets of New Castle, and nearly all business has been suspended. K KCITlDi EST AT BKAVtB FALLS. The lowlands of Allegheny and the South Side were partially submerged. Sharpsburg is under several feet of water, and the resi dents have moved to the upper floors. At Beaver Falls the excitement is still at fever heat over the prediction that the town is to be swept from the face of the eartti on the irth. Few people slept last night, as reports were rife that the-upper dam, just east of the town, was weakening and a break was possible at any time. If this should oc cur a body of water seven miles long, half a mile wide and eight fert deep will be releas ed to dash on the lower end of Beaver Falls, Pallstone and Bridgewater and other towns below. The Pittsburg and Lake Erie Kail road officials were on the ground ail night with an enormous force of men, doing every thing in their power to prevent the break. CarloaJs of atone were dumped at the weaa est point, and it is believed their ellorts will be successful. Warning the Missionaries. New Yoek, May 18 The Pre-t. terian Board of Foreign Missions has cabled all of its missionaries in China as follows: "Exclusion act constitutional ; prudence urged ; notify stations.'' This step was taken in view of possible dangers w hich might threaten American missionaries in conse quence of any retaliation which might be taken by the Chinese. A letter has also been sent out explaining the situation, and advising the missionaries to make no trips into the interior without taking proper precaution. Tire board will also, send to each missionary an extra re mittance to be used in case of emergency. The Methodist Foreign Missionary Socie ty has decided to make a tinal appeal to the President against the immediate enforce ment of the law and to recommend that Sunday, May 2s, be set aside as a day of special prayer that the missionary interests iu China might be saved from disaster. A committee was appointed "to arrange for such public expression on the part of the Christian and humane people as is called for.'' A Now Hope For Consumptives. Sax Francisco, Cal., May IS. A marvel ous cure for consumption is reported to have been discovered by Dr. Kitasato, ofTokio, long a student under Dr. Koch, in Berlin. His success in treating consumptives has been marked and the Government has decorated him and a. propriated bis skill and services for the public welfare. The treatment is a modification of Koch's. A preparation of tubereaiine is injecttd under the skin and taken into the blood. Its etl'ect it to give immunity to healthy lung tissue and thus enable the (list used por tion to recover health. The most noticea ble effect of Dr. Kitasato's method is the ab sence of reactionary fevers, which have fol lowed the useof tubereaiine iniiermany. In only one case did this fever occur, and then bat once. Hence the patient's strength is not weakened. It is a great thing to say tbat several men, who seemed hopeless vic tims of the disea-r, are now apre:it!y well, and that many others are on the way to recovery. Eulalla at Our Capital. Washington, D. C, May 10 After all the fuss which tbe Spanish Minister stirred up, the Infanta Eulalla was received on her ar rival here by ?ecial train from New York this evening in a manner entirely satisfacto ry to ber, even though President Cleveland did not go down to the railway station and greet her with a kiss. Secretary Gresham met tbe Infanta at the depot, and gave ber a cordial welcome. The military esaort which the President ordered out gave dignity to the little procession of carriages which bore tbe Infanta and ber party to the former residence of Charles Sumner, now part of the Arlington Hotel. which was refitted to be tbe home of tbe royal visitor and her suite while they are here. Constant honor has been paid the Princess from Sandy Hook, where her vessel lay at anchor this morning, after arriving from Cuba late last night, until she reached her temporary home in this city. A Kansas Town Wiped Out. F.-ET Scott, Kas., May 20. The village of Ileplc-r, a place of about soo inhabitants, in Crawford county, was reduced to ashes yes terday morning. It is almost certain that the fi-e was started by the Land League of Allen, Crawford and P.aurbon counties, which, a few years ago. was brought to na tional notice by its murders and wholesale thefts. Several of the league's members are now in the penitentiary. Uepler was the stronghold of the anti-Leaguers. The League was organized several years ago for the purjKise of protecting its members against tbe usurpation of laud by the rail roads and new settlers. It was supposed that the League bad disbanded. Clover Is Their Diet. Spriko Citt, Pa, May 13 A strange worm has come to pester the farmers by eat ing np the young clover. The little varmint are about as large as the "cut worms" that sometimes destroy whole belds of young cofn. Tuese latest enemies of the farmer attack tbe clover and eat it otT closer to tbe ground than sheep could nibble it- 'hey leave great patches of sod entirely barren of grass. 1 be worm has appeared in various parts of this county, as well as in Perks and Montgomery. Unless checked soon, they threaten ruiu to what promised to be a big crop of clover hay. THE WORLD'S FAIR. Final Arrangements fortho Sale cf Tickets via the B. Si O. R. R.

The party has committed itself to reform in this mat ter, and there is no better way to make a start than by having only Democrats on these boards." Wants Her Back Pay. Eoo.NEVtt.LE, Mo., May 1.
