The element of religious fanaticism enters powerful ly into all their wars. They advocate any atrocity on the ground that it is fr the glory of ;od and the destruc tion of the unWiever. Fatalism is also a part of their theology, and it makes them utterly reckless of life. Their mental attitude is this: You have a fixed time to die. You will not die till your time conies no matter what you do. On the other hand, w hen your time c"nes you can not save your life no matter what you do. Thk HarrisUirg Telegraph very p rtinently remarks that Philadelphia and Pittsburg so engross the attention of the lawmakers with their various schemes of municipal reform that the large territory let ween these terminal Hints in the .State has very little hliow in the way of legislation.

Since tiie constutional inhibition against sjieeial legislation the bills introdu-ed for the relief of this and that in Pitts b.irr and Philadelphia have beca pre sented as general vs -a ir.-s, resulting in all manner of ouf.i-ion and the im- wit ion upon the interior counties of many things which they do not want and have no need for. William S. Hoi.max, whose death has just taken place, had a remarkable career, comprising as it did sixteen elections to the Hoti-e of Representa tives, though not consecutively. He w as one of the few men in jtublic life w hose congressional service began be fore the war.

Mr. Hoi man, though narrow and ex treme, was public spirited and rigidly incorruptible, and rendered better service to his country than many men of more brilliant part w ho kept them selves more prominently in the public eye. The lower house of the Pennsylva nia legislature lias passed a bill which provides for the payment of interest on state deposits.

Qaaml i Over aa Unpaid KoU. A terrible double tragedy came to light at Uniontown at JO o'clock Thursday night by the disrovery of the dead bod of Jot.hu MrFaJden. of that plitre. and Frank Ilrown. ot F.inliarHs. in a r.wni on the third fl of the Laf:iyt-tte Hotel. Itth nieu are well known; ISrown has l-n a civil engineer iu the employ of the II. '. Friek Coke Company for seven years and Mel'adden is a clerk in a large department store, and is a son of James MeFadden, a Uileber. only one revolver was f.Mind in the room ami the six eha:nl--r were empty, IMiiutiiig to tlie plausibility of tbe theory of murder and suicide, but the question as to which man committed the crime is not known and will probably never I answered. There was no evidence of a scuttle, liotb men were lying on the tlxr. The empty revolver lay two feet away from the bixlies and from its position it cannot I told which man fired it. MeFaddeu t I - 1 T .,. was shot througn tiie rueswnue i.nm u fatal wound was in the head. He was also fhot through the left band. When discovered the bodies were cold and stiff, indicating that ihe men had leen dead several hours. The discovery was made by a chamliermaid at the ho tel, who forced her way into the room through a set of folding doors from an adjoining room. The alarm was immediately given and tbe police summoned, as it was at first supposed the men were murdered by a third party, w bo might possibly I iu the house, even at that time. "oroiiT P. F. Smith was also sent for. and ujion his arrival summoned a jury and fegrn to Lake ttiiiiony. The only e idc-n-e was circumstantial and very in complete. It was developed that Brown and Me Faddcn had loen in partnership in the groc.-ry business in Fairchan'.-e. They di-solved partnership last September, an ! hfn the Issiks were halancedBrown was indebted to the firm, and he gave MeFadden a note for $ZZL. jlKRKL OVKK THK NOTE Pfs-IM.K. The note was due Thursday, and their meeting at the hotel was for the purjose of etfec;ing a settlement. The note was found on the thior. It was torn in two and badiy crumpled, which gives evi ! nee to the theory that there had been at least a slight scramble for it. A che-k for the amount -f the note, written in Brown's handwriting, was so found. It was not signed. All thepa ers were blood staiuel. The testimony also showed that the , inf-n had gone to the room shortly after .5 o'clock in the evening. Brown walked to Cni intow n from I-eith Works, a mile south, where he h id been surveying dur ing the !y. He had brought with him books con taining their partnership accounts and told some of his friends that there were some mistakes which MeFadden would have to rectify liefore the note would !e paid. McFadden told some of his friends that he could explain the disputed ac- CO-.lllls. It is ssisil.le the men qurreled over these a-ounLs and cot into an altercation which culminated the tragedy. The coroner's inquest was resumed Friday when additional circumstances which confirm the theory that McFadden shot Brown and then took his own life, were brought to light. This is borne out by the positions of the men's lxidies when found, and the loca tions of the wounds. One bullet, which evidentlj missed its mark, lodged in the .l.H.r back of Brown, and could not have Ijeen fired by him from the position oc cupied by him. There are three bullet wounds in Brown w hich do not seem to Le those of a suicide. One is in the left hand, another a flesh wound on the left side of the forehead; while the third and fatal shot entered the head i.u the left side, hack of and alsive the ear. Mc Fadden has only one wound, w hich is on the right temple. The flesh alout it issKiched with xiwdcr, showing that the weasm was close when it was dis charged. The strongest evidence w hich goes to fix the crime on McFadden is some not. which lie wrote in a memorandum lmok, presumably after the killing of Brown, Iu these McFadden stated that he did not owe any one, but that several persons of the town, whom he named, owed him. He also stated that he had a ring at Bai ley's jewelry store, leing repaired.which he requested should be returned to a young lady milliner of this place. Bay Barton, w ho worked w ith McFadden in Both's store, testified that the latter lsr toved a revolver Wednesday which r6 sembled the one found lieside the bodies. The cause of the tragedy w ill probably neer le known. One theory of the shooting is that Mc Fadden and Brown quarreled over the young lady to w horn the ring was to Ik returned. Both had lieen paying her at tentions anl it serins Brow u gave her the ring which McFadden was having re paired. Another theory is that McFad den tried to force Brown to sign the note and check, and iion the latter' refusal the shooting follow ed. IIIK.W'X WAS THK VJiTIM. Cxiostowx, Ia April 21. Joshua McFadden has leen declawd a murderer and suicide by the coroner's jury inves tigating the double tragedy here yester day, in the Hotel I.ifayette, w here Mc Fadden and Frank Brown were found lcad in a room, both shot, and an einpty revoher near them. The jury found that Brown was murdered by McFadden, w ho then tok his w n life. It was show n c inclusively that the men had been on bad terms for some time, and that they never spoke ex.-ept when settling up their business ail'airs. Their meeting Tester lay was for the purpose of watling up a note w hich McFadden held against Brown, and which was given when thry closed'out their grocery busi ness at Fairchance last 0-toler. Brown disputed the note on the ground that Mc Fadden had agreed not to collect it till Brow n could collect certain bills of the old firm w hich w ere outstanding. Brown contended that some of those bills were nncollectable and that he should not have to pay the note. Their hatred for each other was also increased by a love affair. They both paid attention to the same girl. Brown gave her a ring, which she let McFadden have. This is the ring of which McFadden sjx.ke in his note writ ten liefore he suicided, and which was found by his side. 3 odge and Jury. The one juryman who stand out against the eleven has lieen for a long time the subje4 from which wits drew inspiration for their jokes.

They did leive it, however, and were out hours. Inquiring the trouble, the judge was told o.ieof the VI was standing out against tbe II. He summoned the jury and rebuked the reealcitraut sharply. "Your honor, said juror, "may I say a word?" "Yes, sir," said the indignant judge; "what have you to say ?' "Well what I want ed to say is: I'm ths only fellow that's on your side." Try Graia-0 !

Unable to withstand the attacks of the Turkish army they spiked theirgunsand retreated in good order to the new posi tion, where they have Yolo as a liase of supplies and communication by railroad with the town. The Greeks will lie able to make a strong resistenee at this point owing to the geograpbi?tl formation and may be able to beat otr their adversaries for a long lime. From I'pirus come word that the Ureeks are advancing and reports of i.-t-ries for tlie lireck warships. Santa 4uaranta was reduced and burned and a large amount of Turkish stores de stroyed. An uprising is reported from Albauia and the Turkish troops are taking part in the revolt, while from Bulgaria comes word that the government has refused to accede to the Sultan's demand to break otT all diplomatic relations with Ureei-e, The Cabinet in session in Borne Ls of the opinion that after the first pitched battle between the belligerent nations in which large forces are employed the powers will interfere. Following Ls an abstract of the cam paign as seen by the Philadelphia In quirer For five days the most bitterly contest ed battle of modern times has raged among the mountain passes uoith of Laris?a, near the Greek frontier. The Turks marched south from their head quarters at Klasona on Sunday and on Monday forced the Milouna Pass. Karly reports indicated that the Turks pressed ou and took Tyrnavo. This now is known to be false. The Greeks hold the town and I-arissa Ls not yet threatened. u Tuesday the Greeks forced the Bev eni Pass going north, to attack Klassoua. A great battle was fought uorlh ol the mountains, ou the Iamasai plain, and the Greeks were victorious Whether they have pressed on to Flas-sona or not is not stated. Ou Wednesday the Greek fleet attacked Plalemona, about thirty miles east of Larissa, in Turkish territory, and gained great advantages, but the final result of their operations is not known. They also captured a town to the north. F.vidently the Greeks are trying to surround the 30,- CJ Turks under Edhem Pasha. If they can rout this force it wiil be followed by a rising in Macedonia, w hich will make it difficult to send re-enforcements. Greeks hope that this rising is now in progress Gen. Mile to the Front. General Nelson A Miles expects to go to Greece to make ollicial oliservatiou of the present war, accompanied by an aide. Secretary Alger has recommended to the President that General Miles lie given this opportunity to enrich his mili tary literature of the Government, in ac cordant with precedents, and he expects that the President will approve of this ro-ommendation and authorize him to send the General to the Ievant. The President has already authorized Secreta ry Alger to send Captain V I. Screven, Military Attache ol our F.mbassy at Borne, to Constantinople to watch the Turkish movements, and Captain J. II. Iiort, Military Attache of our legation at Vienna, to Athens to study the Greek movements. General Sherman is the only com manding general who ever went to such a mission, having lieen detailed on Sep temlwr, 1S71, to study the Franco-Prussian war. 'In event of my going," said General Miles. "I w ill visit both the Turkish and Greek armies and inspect to the best of my ability their movements and tactics. If the war is concluded within a reasona ble time.,1 will pro!ab!y visit some of ihe other Furopean armies and get w hat ever information I can that may lie of future use to our army. My olervations will I fully cmliodicd in a report, w hich will lie prepared and submitted on my return." Pension Examiners. The records of the Civil servh commis sion shows that each inemlier of the fol lowing named pension examining boards in Benn'a, receives in fees more than fvn annually, and that these boards are therefore embraced within tbe service classified under the civil servi-e rules. This is the result of the order issued by President Cleveland in January last ex tending the operauons of the civil service liw to pension exrjnining biards wher ever the annual fees -exceed $.&: Allegheny, Alleutown, Altoona, B.-dford, Bloomsburg, Brookville.

All fieiision examining Uiards in this State not named in the foregoing list are exempt from the operations of the civil service law and the appointments thereto w ill lie made as heretofore. The rule usually followed prior to the se!ond administration of President Cleveland was to give the majority party two and the minority party one representative on each lioard. But when Mr. Cleveland and Hoke Smith liegan their onslaught upon the I'n ion veterans this rule was broken and the boards were, in a large majority of cases, made solidly Bsui ocratic In the cases of the boards that do not come under tho civil service it will doubt less lie the policy r tho administration to put two Bepubli-ans on each lioard. Where the lioards are solidly llsutocratic this will give two appointments and where one Benubli an has ben reuiined he will get a colleague of his own political faith. In fact, the administra tion is said not to favor the extension of the civil service rules to any of the pension examining lioards. The mem bers of these boards can scarcely lie regarded as public servants in the strict sense ofthe term. They are riot con stantly employe.!, and are paid by fee and not by salaries, and it seems an arbi trary enforcement of the civil service principle to pla-e them w ithin the opper ations of the law. It is possible that an effort will lie made to have the order abrogated. The extension was a plain attempt to keep a lot of Democrat in o:li., and there is no ground for the claim that the public service would be licnelited. A Long Lost Son's S230.0D0.

Snakard Kiaisur Tereed to Labsr la a ! tsalat ra Kins. j Philadelphia, April No romance ; could be more picturesque and thrilling than tbe story told U-dy by Jonas II I Price, of Sellersville, as to how he was kidnapped and carried iuto slavery in tbe fertilizer mines of tbe sooth. Pri-, who is a iMnkard minister, roaches I home on Friday in a pitiable conditoii after an ahscence of three mouths HLs appearance seemed to liespcak the truth of his story, which was briefly as follows; Besides being a Dunkard minister. Price is a tailor with a large trade in his native tow n. On January 7 lie came, to Philadelphia on business, and drew (Uf) outoftntnk. In the afternoon ho took a train for Kidley Park, a sulsirli, w here lie owns pniierty. On the train he sat lieside a ruddy-faced, red-whiskered man, who began to wave liefore his face a handkerchief, from which a heavy sick ening odor emanated. He resented the familiarity, but gradually lost conscious ness. Tbe next thing he knew he was on his way to the sooth with the red- whiskered man lieside him. He called to the train men for help, but they laugh ed at him when bis companion showed paiers that Price was an escaped lunatic. They arrived after a while at a smill town where be was thrown into a freight train with two negro convicts and taken farther south. Arriving at their destina tion in the fertilizer mines. Price and the negroes were placed in a convict gang of fin, and were compelled to work with the rest. He passed three horrible months there, suffering all manner of brutal treatment. Finally a new boss came and to him Price told his story. The new man seam ed to be rather humane. He swore when Price had finished bis story, saying he hail heard of the red-whiskered man's deviltry before. One night the boss went to Price's ken nel, release! him, gave him $lo, and then Usik him to tbe railroad station, where be was locked again in a freight car. This precaution was evidently taken by his liberator to prevent Price from dis covering the location of the mine, and thus have the opportunity to make trouble in the future. He traveled in the car for several days, and finally found himself in Charleston, S. t. He took steerago passage in tho Clyde steamer Algonquin, and arrived at New York on Friday. He took a train to Bethlehem and walked the remaing 14 miles home i rice's character is excellent and his story is generally believed. The Libel Law.
