A heavy storm prevail ed Monday night and it is not iinprolwi ble that the building was fired by light ning. An h-e ereatu freezer is ahut to be placed upon the market that is destined to make "millions" for the owners of the patent. It is claimed that the new freezer will churn cream in one and one-half minutes. The time occupied in churning is not the chief recommendation of the machine, how ever, as it is claimed that it will turn out any flavor and as many or them as may lie called for. The frozen cream is discharged through a tube when the flavoring extract is added, "Ed'' Thompson, of Pittsburg, is a member of the firm engaged in the manufacture of this novel churn. Mr. Thompson is a native of lavansville and is well-known here. The street commissioner has lieen busily engaged for some time in putting down substantial stone pavements at all of the alley and street crossings in town. This work has been done at the instance of town council, who appear determined to have all of the streets kept in good condition, notice having been served by their agent upon all property owners. w hose pavements are defective, to have the same repaired within ten days. While the a-tion of council is to l com mended in this particular, they should go a step further and compel the county commissioners to repave the streets sur rounding the public buildings. The pavement in front of the jail is a menace to life and limb, as w ell as disgraceful.

The heavy rains of last week caused great damage iu the southern part of the county. Friday afternoon and even ing the water In the tassel man and the Yough reached the highest stage ever known, lor several hour it was feared that the tow n of Confluence at the forks of the streams would be awept away. Happily the fears entertained by the reddents of that place were not realized and little damage was done outside of flooding cellars and devastating gardens. Along me louga river a loss or more than 4,WJ was sustained by the sweep ing away of cross ties and sawed lumber. A lumber company at Friendsville ia re ported to have lost between $2,f and 3,01. The Confluence and Oakland railroad was paralyzed by the flood and will not lie in running order for several days yet. Water coverered the tracks several feet in many places and at Soiu- erfield it drove the agent from the sta tion, l ne pig trestle at Hear creek was awept away and one of the piers onder the bridge at Friendsville suffered a sim ilar fate, A mile of track is reported to have been washed away between Somer field and Friendiville and a good portion of other stretches of track will have to be replaced. Travel was interrupted between Pe tersburg and Confluence from Saturday nntil Monday, three or tour township bridges having been awept away. -BOBS" COTFEOTH S IirTESTHW. Tka Gtniral Mt straight la Regard Jams 0. Blalms's KTd m tk Xoaey Qasitioa. Epitok Herald. Interviewing on the political situation tieing the order of the day, our erstwhile friend. General Co ff roth, has gone through that process at the hands of the scribe of the Iiemocrat, and the readers of that sheet have lieen regaled with the opinions extracted from the Bom w hotn It worships. Of course, the General Is enthusiastic lor free silver and in endeavoring to bol ster it up he tries to make it apix-ar that that houored Republican leader, the late James G. Blaine, was an advocate of the free coinage of silver, and quotes from a speech of Mr. Blaine's delivered in the United States Senate, when the so-called Bland bill, under which our present edi tion of silver dollars was authorized, was on its passage through that body. Xow, the General well knows that the Bland bill waa not a free coinage bill. aud when be went to quote Mr. Blaine, be should have no stated; and there are also some other facts in connection with Mr. Blaine's attitude on the silver ques tion which, since General Coffroth sees proper to ignore them, although well aware of tbciu, may as well be mention ed. And beraiise an effort is being made to mislead pmple into believing that Mr. Blaine favors. 1 such doctrines as are .laid down in the iata4 version of the liemo- cralie plattw iu. Mr. Blain believed in an honest dol lar, w hethrr it was of silver or gold, the intrinsic value of w hich would be recog nized by tha commercial world every where. Ho did uot believe that you could take a piece of silver worth it cents and, by placing the stamp of the government thereon, make it worth one hundred cents. At the time the Bland bill was passed. which was while Mr. Blaine was in the Senate, there wag already a depreciation in the value of silver. The silver dollar it was proposed to coin under this act, and as it was aftei- ward coined, when compared with the market price at which silver was then selling, had au actual or intrinsic value of alsiut 94 cents. When this deficiency in the value of the dollar intended to Im3 minted was mentioned to the supporters of this bill they tried to answer the objec tion by saying: "pass the bill, and this fall in the price of silver will be arrested, and it will speedily regain its ratio with gold." Xow, while Mr. Blaine was then friendly to the restoration of silver to a place in the coinage of the country, there is no evidence that be was in favor of its. coinage at anything like a debased ratio, such as that which is now proposed. All the evidence is to the contrary. That he wanted the silver dollar to contain one hundred cents' worth of the metal is cer tain, for he was not satisfied with the train of reasoning advanced by the silver men, that all that was needed to bring silver np to an equality with gold was to pass this bill. He offered an amendment to increase the weight of the proposed dollar, so as to make it worth what it purported to be. aud in accordance with the then selling price of the metal. But the extreme sil ver men, being the majority, voted it down. He also voted for other amendments looking toward raising of the ratio. If this was his attitude when the depre ciation was ouly about six per cent, in the value, what would it be when the de preciation amounted to forty-seven per cent.? He would be for one hundred cents' worth of silver in a dollar, now, as be was then. The Bland bill as it was passed was not a free coinage measure the amount to be coined in each month was limited the silver so coined was to be bought from time to time as needed. As the market price was below the ratio, the govern ment would lose but little, even if the ratio was not recovered. At that time few, if any, even among those who voted against the bill, anticipated a slump of nearly one half in the value of the metal. Such being the provisions of this bill, Mr. Blaine gave it his vote on final pas sage. While he appears to have been willing to give silver a chance to regain its lost ratio in the market, it is quite evident that be had grave doubts as to the result; and the sequel shows that be was justi fiable in seeking to raise the ratio then and there. Large as was the demand for silver created iu order to carry out the Bland act, and notwithstanding the full legal tender character given this coinage, the price of silver still kept falling. So the Sherman act, raising the month -ly purchases of silver to four and a half millions of ounces, was passed, (opposed of course, by the extreme silver men), in the vain hope that a compulsory market equal to w hat was then supposed to Inb the entire American product, would cer tainly arrest the decline in value of the white metal. The only effect being to stimulate the production and cause a still further de parture from the ratio; a fact which is admitted by honest silver producers themselves. Being for a silver dollar that contains a dollar's worth of the article at its sell ing price, is a different thing from being for a ratio of sixteen to one, when the real ratio is about thirty-one to one. But, an honest dollar is not the kind of a dollar the free coinage people want. They have steadily opposed and voted against every proitosition to make such a dollar, always insisting that a piece of the w hite metal should be minted and stamped, far alsive its actual value. Xow, if . cents' worth of silver can, by an act of Congress, have 47 cents added to its value by simply putting on the government stamp, why can't the same authority take .Vi ccntV worth of copper, nickel, or brass, and add -17 cents to their value also?. The people who have ami produce these metals are enti tled to just as much consideration as are the producers of silver; and all of them are now, or have, at one time, !een coin age metals. X.

Concerning it Ir. George G. iron", a special agent of the department of agriculture, says: "This insect is the most formidable pest which ever threatened the fruit interests of Pennsylvania If unchecked, it will in a few years destroy absolutely the or chards and gardens of the state.

It spreads slowly I ait surely through an or chard, bav ing a special liking for the Bai llelt, Buerre Giffard, ISose aud Anjou among rears, the yellow transparent ap ple, the Fay currant, the Lombard pear and the common Junelierry. These trees and plants should be examined for it. In Pennsylvania it has not been seen on the peach, cherry or apricot. "Whera but few of the insects are pre sent on a tree they are must easily found on the fruit ou which they produce cir cular blotches, very characteristic. Where a tree or bush is thoroughly infested, the whole plaut presents an ashy, dusty or scurfy aspearance. The insect can only be com batted successfully after the leaves have fallen Yet every fruit grower should have a constant watch upon his trees an every infested one should lJ marked for treatment. Badly i lifts -ted trees and plants should lie dug up and burned at ouce. This is the only sura treatment for them. The Winter treat ment of trees in Pennsylvania should cousist of spraying them as soon as the leaves fall with a hot solution made by dissolv ing two pounds of whale oil soap in one gallon of water. The spraying should be repeated before the leaves open in the Spring. This treatment may con fidently be expected to hold the insect iu check." Detected by a Toad. Six w ttks ago the Suow Shoe Post office, in Centre County, was broken into by burglars, the safe blown up with t'y namite, and about f-f worth of stamps, envelopes, etc,, were stolen. Howard Smith, Charles Gray, and William May, of Philadelphia, were arrested on sus picion and now are in jail at Erie await ing trial at the United Slated Court. At the time of their arrest the suspects were searched, but the stolen proierty could not lie found. On Tuesd ay it was recovered in a very peculiar manner. Some little children were playing with a toad that afternoou near a stonewall which is adjacent to a barn on the James Gates estate, about a mile north of Snow Shoe, w hen the toad jumped into a hole in the stonewall and disappeared. The children examined the hole, and, instead of finding their toad, fished out a lot of stamped envel opes, the money drawer taken from the safe, and several mailing punches; beside a quantity of stamps. All but about si .worth of the stolen property was recover ed and restored to the post-office. This c cn.pHUs the chain ot evidence against the three men arrested, as they were seen loitering about the liarn and stonewall the night the robliery was committed.

Sickles doesn't pro pose to use a blank cartridge by throw ing away his vote on a third ticket in November, and he doesn't mean to with hold his fire when assailed by staying at home. Therefore he will go to the polls upon electiou day aud put in a Demo cratic vote for McKinley.. In a letter to Major Dudley, who served in his corps. General Sickles writes: I know Major McKinley very welL Ha is a disk of rectitude and honor. Upon the practical and pressing issues of the day he stands for all that Americans must up hold. While I do not agree with some of his political views, I am far more widely separted from the ruinous platform of his adversaries. As President, chosen as he will be by the votes of men of all parties hiseleclijn will not be a parti ian triJinph Ilia administration will guarntee public credit and public decorum and order, now threatened by a conspiracy of Anarchists, Populists and Socialists. This sum np tha while situation rrom the standpoint of loyalty to party and to country. Mr. McKinley is clearly the logical candidate of all the friends of national solvency and domestic tran quillity; and his election could uot be claimed as a partisan triumph nor con st rued as a license for tariff -tinkering or other partisan business. THE LOWES COUftT VK0H0. Tks Superior Court Saye a Lieeaie Shoal Eavo Beta Granted. Iavst March the Chester county court re fused to grant a license to Samuel J. Babb, of the Octoraro house, Oxford, lo calise he sold liquor by the bottle. Judge Hemphill In refusing the license quoted the court's ruling iu another case, as fol lows: In the late charge to the 'grand jury we took occasion to refer to a prucltce which is prejudicial to the community that of furnishing by licensed houses of intoxicating drinks in ilasks, bottles, buckets and other vessels, to las drank elsewhere. It is the design of the law in granting license to control the sale of intoxicating drink, and to pre vent their indiscriminate use as far as reasonably practicable, and hence) care is required in tha selection of those to vbom the right to sell ia given. In sell ng liquor over the bar, to he there drunk. the landlord has control of iu use, but w hen it is carried away to be drunk else where he Iimwcs that control and drunk enness and deliauchery are too frequent ly the result. Iu addition to this, liquors are in this way procured by intemperate persons ami minora by the aid of too ac commodating friends, who wMild not otherwise le able to olitain them, and they are also frequently thus procured for use on the first day of the week when the public bouses are closed. This mod of disposing of intoxicating drinks doe not meet with our approval, and is not iu aiisjrdauce with the spirit of the license laws, and those whom we have, licensed will do well to heed this admonition. Mr. Babb appealed to the superior court, and last week the decision revers ing the lower court was rendered. He will reapply for license. SEDUCED SATES TO THE SEASHORE. Popular Excursion via B. ft 0.

A Cyclist' Fatal FalL Harry Smith, a young man from Apol lo, rode on his bicycle from that place to Indiana to visit his grandmother last week. He was returning when his wheel struck a stone and threw him over the handle bars. He alighted on a flask which had fallen rrom his pocket ami so badly cut himself on the side and hip that he was unable to get up. He was found some time afterward in an unconscious condition, having fainted from the loss of blood. He was taken to the home of his grandmother and medi cal aid summoned.
