It is a pity that the efforts spent by
frien Is of criminals in shielding them
from the p.-ni'ty of their deeds c uld
not le sjH-nt earlier on prevention of
such dtvds. This particular energy of
friendship is becoming a serious block
ing of the workings of justice, aud,
while one can not reasonably blame
the effort;", their successful results ar
dvmau.iiiii; m-rious attention.
The gold Democrats and silver
Democrats are throwing stones at each
other again. Mr. Ilryau has come to
the front with a sarcastic reply to Mr.
Cleveland's lieform Club speech, ia
which he says that Cleveland aud his
ii'io.r nf f lir 1 1 toor-ce r 4,lon-T nil
-- j o
piatituaes ana snort on ienormances, -aud
that they reach their "mixiiii:i:n
at a ban jn, t and th.-ir iiiiiiiinii'ii at
the i-.Ils,"
One of tlie ridiculous claims naii:.-.t
the McKin.ey law is that it reduced
the revenues of the i overnnient. It
was passed for that purpose-. The sur
plus imd-'V the old law had exceeded .
fl'M.Oi ,'J u a year. The Wiln law
produced a deficit of over $'', W0,(H) a
year. What the Il -publicaus want is
a law that meets reij'.iiremeiitsaiid pro
tects American productions. What
the I .'tiiocrats want is to make trouble.
It was Is months after (Jrover Cleve
land l.ecame president lefore the Wil
son tariir bill was a law, but there is
good reason to believe that the Ding
ley bill will leeome a law in less than
Is weeks after the inauguration of
William McKinley, and less than half
that time has not yet passed. Until
the bill can pass and the country has
time to altsorb the enormous mass of
goods now being rushed in by the
foreign importers, it is unreasonable to
expect a resumption of activity by the
manufacturers or consequent prosperity
among the masses will be affected by
that activity.
Ex-Pkk.sii.ext Ci.evei.axi must
have iieen so busy defending himself
against the attacks during the late
campaign that lie failed to get time to
read the platform of the Ilcpublican
p trty. He evidently doe not under
stand that its strongest pledges were a
restoration of protection, the mainte
nance of the present safe standard of
our currency and the promotion of in
ternational bimetallism. The burden
of his New York speech the other
night was an attack upon the party for
carrying out these pledges which were
endorsed by a much larger majority of
the voters of the nation than he ever
received in any of his three candida
cies for the presidency.
The universal impression in Europe
apHars to le that the war letween
Oreeee and Turkey is over and noth
ing remains to le done but the arrang
niv'nt of the terms of eaoe. Very
much the same opinion seems to pre
vail in this country. Were the time
pushed back a hundred vears. it
might lie possible for Oreeee to pro
long the struggle until some of her
iieighlsirs were drawn into it, but mod
ern wars, at l.-ast wars at this end of
the century, re iuire ready money for
their conduct, and the cash of Crewe
is exhausted. There must be money
to run and repair railroads, buy ord
nance stores, build bridges and pur
chase provisions. Oreeee has no cred
it, anil unless she Inl a large surplus
of stores, she imM luce money to buy
them. The ('reck campaign, there
fore, promise to c i'..pe if, for no
other reason, b?caus the exchequer is
empty.
The Oreeits burg Pns inveighs bit
terly against the pronation that
Westmoreland county s'j-ill be includ
ed in a Congressional district with
Somerset and lied ford counties. It
makes a legitimate argument, say9 the
i .nladelphia, Inquirer against the
projiosal in saying to "attempt to join
together in one district counties which
nature has separated by well-nigh im
passable mountain barriers, counties
which have uj caiinm interest.,
counties that are regarded as belong
ing to different sections of the State,
we w not but regard otherwise than
as the exjK'riment of some inex-cr-ienced
political philosopher." When,
however, it g.ies to the extent of de
claring that Somerset an 1 Hlford
c unties arj back uumV-r it overmen
the mark. Not only is the history of
liios? two counties an ho-wiM. one,
but their present condition i satisfac
tory. We have not forgotten, for ex
ample, that it was only a few years ago
that the Republican forces in the Leg
islature were led throughout the entire
session by that splendid old fellow,
John Cessna, nor the long list of
able and honorable men whom Somei
eetgave ta the State. Age did not
make a back number of Cessna, nor
will it or itself make a back number of
any county.

lirire enormous but it involve the com
plete destruction of two of the (treatest
mernlile houses of Pittsburg, houses of
long and proud record and known far
and wide in Pennsylvania and the neigh
boring States and sister cities.
The great wholesale grocery establish
ment of Thomas C. Jenkius and the
mammoth retail store of Joseph Home
A Co., are total ruins. There remains of
the first only jaj-j-ed patches of walls,
here and there, towering into bla. kened
pinnacles, and of the latter there stands
only the great naked framework, lmilt of
iron, w hich would not tall, but stripped
of walls and floors and festooned only
with the draggling shreds of timber,
crinkled pieces of sheet iron and twisted
rods and wires. They are mournful
monument of wealth and commercial
enterprises.
In addition to the destruction of the
Jenkins and Home establishments at
least twenty other well-known business
firms were burned out.

The Eesult ia Kentucky.
Kentucky will again be represented by
two senators in the Senate of the United
States after an unprecedented contest,
w hich ran through one regular and oue
special session of the legislature, and
was marked by tl.o calling out of the
State troops to preserve order and pre
vent bloodshed. There will be a general
feeling of relief that this disgraceful aud
unnecessary deadlock, wlii"h has been
characterized l.y more s.randal and fac
tional bitterness than any recent senato
rial contest, is ended at last. The Re
publicans had a clear iimjorlty of the leg
islature, were clearly entitled to the sen
ator, and should have elected one on the
iirst joint ballot of the special session.
That llio cornet was prolonged ls-yond a
single ballot was entirely due to the fac
tional and Krsoiml tlitlYrcuces among
the Republicans themselves, who, for the
(lrt time in the hitory of the party, eon
trolled the legislature, and should have
been harmonious in their action.
The result of Dele te'a election will I
to add one vote to the Republican side in
the Senate, thus bringing the Republi
cans nearer by one vole to the control of
that IwhIv, and Kentucky will have an
undivided representation in the Senate
in favor of a sound currency. Senator
Lindsay, a Iiemocrat, is an out-and-out
adherent of the gold standard, and while
tlifre seems to 1 some doubt about Ile
um's personal views on the currency
question, lie will, doubtless, vote with
his party, w hich is pledged to inaiutaia
the existing standard until a double
standard be established by international
agreement, of which there isu't the re
motest possibility. Philadelphia Times.
Old Enough to Vote.
The scientific chajm w ho figure out
such things for the benefit of the rest of
us poor mortals tell us that the animal
known as the sheep lives to au age of
ten years, says tho Johnstown Tribune.
Rut they have prolably not heard of a
ewe in the possession of Mr. Kii Uashaw,
a fanner of Jenuer Township, Somerset
County, ele they would revise their esti
mate. The venerable and nistiitguinlud
animal in question has had the fleeces of
twenty-one winters removed from its
back, and would be old euough to vote at
the Republican primaries this spring if
she had the other qualifications.
Mr. liashaw raised the ewe from a
lambkin, and is consequently sure of
her age. Aside from her other distinc
tions, she has a numerous and respect
able progeny, having given birth to a
lamb every spring from the time she
was two years old until three years ago.
She is of no particular breed, but desig
nated by her owner as just common
stock. ild age has not dimmed her
eyesight, and she can tell a thistle from
a bunch of clover as well as ever she
could. Neither has it stiffened her
joints nor dulled the exulierance of her
spirits, and she may lie seen any of
these fine spring days gamboling on the
green with her great-great-great-great-
great-great-great-great-grandchildreu.

Chicago April 30. Isaac fiassonowiu
sat in the front door of the basement at
193 West Fourteenth street and tangled
a grimy hand in his gray, straggling
lieard. A young man came out of the
rear room and touched the old man on
the shoulder. "Your thirty-fifth child is
a loy," said the young man. The cry of
an infant in the rear room did not startle
iassonowitz. He had heard that sound
lefore. He continued to sit on the stool
aud smoke a black, short-stemmed pipe.
The batfy weighed five and one-half
pounds, and it is doing well. It may do
splendidly in the clairvoyant line later,
for it was born with a" caul, and is the
tnultip.e of a seventh sou. This interest
ing babe w ill be known as Alex Uassouo

teen children. She is the second wife of
the baby's father. The first wife bore
twenty-one children to bless their union.
Thirty of Gassonowitz's children were

Confenioa of a Firebug.
Norfolk, Va., April 29. The city of
Portsmouth is intensely excited over the
confession of Frank Linn, the head of the
organized gang of incendiaries who have
been terrorizing that town for seven
weeks past and whose torches started the
great conflagration of a mouth ago, when
St Paul's Catholic church aud almost
thirty dwellings were consumed, causing
a loss of more than $Jtto,O0U.
Linn was arrested for burglary, and at
his trial his wife lietrayed tho secret of
the conspiracy to destroy the city for the
purjHise of robbery. Tho plan was con
cocted iu her kitchen last January, but
its execution was delayed until heavy
March winds would render it almost cer
tain of success.
Linn confessed the whole story before
the Commonwealth's attorney and his
own counsel. The five men now coufiued
in the Portsmouth jail he says are guilty
parties.
The War Practically Over.
London, May 2. The Times will pub
lish tomorrow a dispatch from Iarissa
w hich says:
"The christians who aro returuir-g here
all say that during the battle at Milouua
Crown Prince Constanstine was at Kara
dere, at the foot of the Pass. The (ireek
army is described as behaving on that oc
casion like a disorderly mob. All disci
pline was flung to tho winds, and the sol
diers fired even on their own cllicers, so
terrible was the pauiu. It is impossible
to la'Iieve that the army nt Pharsalos cau
withstand the Turks in a pitched tttttlle.
That the war is now practically over is
plainly apparent''
The Officer and Hit Fiitol
Assistant United States listrict Attor
ney lirillilh, of Pittsburg, in discussing
the reckless use of revolvers by police
men in the arrest of lleeiug prisoners,
lays down the law very emphatically as
follows:
"The officer who shoots after a prisoner
who is endeavoring to escape arrogates to
himself the right to inllict capital punish
ment and assumes a grave risk. It is a
common impression among officers that
their Hsitioii gives them the right to
shoot a man who is trying to escape aud
perhaps ifiict death for au offence that at
best would only mean a few years im
prisouuieut for the man. This idea is
wholly without foundation, and the law
w ill not protect any ollicer after he has
killed or crippled a man unless he can
show that he shot the party in self
defence. It is only in defence of his life
that an ollicer has a right to use his revol
ver, aud were I an officer 1 would not
shoot under any other circumstances,
and any man who docs so takes a grave
risk."
A Long Siitance Bon.
We have lieen looking up particulars of
the most famous run made with railway
trains, says the Locomotive Engineer,
and we are convinced that the run made
over the Chicago, Iiurliugton !c Quincy
from Chicago to Denver deserves to be
considered the most extraordinary run
ever made. The distance from Chitatgo
to Denver, lid miles, was covered iu ex
actly li.'t minutes actufU running time.
This was only a small fractioii less than
one niilo a minute for the longest contin
uous run ever made by any railmad com
pany. A notable thing about the run
was that no special preparation whatever
was made for the trip. The various en
gines that pulled the train were selected
as those most convenient, and the crews
were those that were actsistomed to the
engines. There were no delays from hot
boxes or any other cause, and it looks as
if trains could be run daily over that
long distance and make the time of that
special train.
Smilei Irradiate the Countenance
When those atrocious bodily troubles,
chills and fever, dyspepsia, kidney or
rheumatic disorders, yield, as they inva
riably do, to the tenign action of Hos-
tetter s Stomach Bitters, a remedy of
comprehensive use, pure in composition,
unobjectionable to a delicate palate, and
thorough in effecLs. Sick headache, loss
of appetite, Uesh and sleep, nausea,heart
burn, are among the physical annoyan
ces obviated by the Bitters. They are in
the nature of signals of distress display
el by a disordered stomach, liver and
iKisvels, and disappear with tha cause
that produced them. Rut these signals
should lie heeled at once. Then the woe
In-gone look of chronic ill health will
speedily disappear, and vigor and com
fort restore a cheerful aspect to tho face.
That faithful index to the condition of
the system never fails to wear a look of
sunshine when the Bitters is used to dis
pel the cloud.
Flood and Hail.
The town of toithrie, Oklahoma, was
overwhelmed Wednesday morning by
what is described as "a mighty wall of
water," which came down the Colton
wixxl river, w hich was already flooded
by unprecedentedly heavy rains during
the preceding four days. The Hood car
ried everything before it, many persons
being drowned in their houses or swept
a ay in the torrent The estimates of
the loss of life range from 30 to 230,
though the latter figure is thought to be
greatly cxagerated. Many miles of farm
land alongthcCottonwood and Cimarron
rivers and in the Canadian valley are
su I .merged.
A terrific hail storm in the Rio Verde
valley, iu San Luis Potosi, Mexico, is re
porlcd to have killed 41 persons, besides
ruining the growing crops. On one ha
cienda alone 12 farm hands were killed.

Francis J. Torrence, of Allegheny.'a
memlrof the state loard of charities.
has prepared four hills to relieve the
crowded condition of the penitentiaries
and obviate the necessity of building a
new penitentiary. His first proposition
is to con fi no all criminal insane in the
eastern penitentiary lxcause there is
more room there than in the western
penitentiary; second, to keep all women
in the western penitentiary, because
there are CO cells iu the female ward there
and only 16 inmates; third, to increase
the maximum age for first grade prison
ers at the Huntingdon reformatory from
23 to : 0 years, there being many unoccu
pied cells at that institution; and fourth,
a system of parole for prisoners after they
have served half their sentence. This
would lieau iucentiveforauonvicttolead
a belter life and lo productive of better
conduct iu prisons. Mr. Torrence has
had a sonference with Gov. Hastings re
garding his plans, and hopes to get fav
orable consideration for them from the
general assembly.
The ouly liquor legislation that is
probable at this session is tho passage of
the bill to license clul. Tho State Li
quor League has had several bills intro
duced in the interest of its members, but
all have been practically abandoned ex
cept the one favoring a licenso for social
and political clubs to sell intoxicants to
their members, and it is said that this is
likely to pass. The license fee is fixed at
130 for clubs in cities of the first-class,
130 in other cities, f 100 in tioroughs and
73 iu townships. AH the restrictions
which now apply to saloons as to the sale
of liquors to minors or persons of intem
perate habits apply to licensed clubs,
which are also forbidden to sell to non
meuiliers. All unlicensed clubs selling
liquors are held to be nuisances and dis
orderly houses and may be proceeded
against as such, aud persons found drink
ing therein shall be deemed disorderly
and may be fined from $1 to (2. an. I com

the state and was generally endorsed
throughout tho commonwealth.
It provides that any person who shall

BLACK JACK'S OUTLAWS.
The Leader Killed in a FigM With a Fosse.
Santa Fe, N. M., April 20. It is now
learned that Black Jack the famous leader
of a desperate band of border outlaws, was
killed, and not Sid Moore, as previously
announced, in yesterday's running fight
letween United States Deputy Marshal
Fred Higgins and a posse and Black
Jack's gang. Largo rewards were offered
for the arrest of Blackjack, and will le
paid to the members of the posse.
The battle was fought in the mountains
of western Grant county, Now Mexico,
fifteen miles east of Clifton Ariz. Uutb-r

master at Clifton saying the desperadoes
had been seen on Tuesday afternoon
fifteen miles east of that town. Higgins
was ordered t the s?ene, and striking
the trail at dawn yesterday morning, ho
followed it till 8 o'clock, w hen he and his
men overtook the party, which number
ed six of the most notable cutthroats
ever banded together in tho West
A hot fight ensued, but when Black
Jack feil from his horse, shot through
the heart by Higgins, the desperadoes
wheeled their hjrses and escaped into
the mountains.
Black Jack's hotly was taken to Clifton
last night aud identified to-day. He is
believed to be one of tho two men who.
two weeks ago, went to tho ranch of

It is alleged that the Rev. Harvey
Grame Furbay, Ph. D., pastor of the
Oxford Presbyterian church, I hiladel-
ihia, formerly of Tyrone, has been asked
to resign. The cause assigned is that he
lacks proper dignity. Objections were
also made to his parting his hair in the
middle, smoking the offensive cigarette
aud ridiuga bicycle.
Senator Orville II. Piatt, of Connecti
cut, was married Thursday to Mrs. Jen
nie P. Hunt of Upper Monclair, N. J.
The wedding was at the home of the

uously in the Senate since March, 179.
It was l.y popular subscription that the
fund ueeessary f..r tho erection of tho

t is estimated that :,nx poople coiilrili-
utcd sums ranii. from ono cent to
Sl,i). In all J.Vi'.i.ikI was secured. The
uuexpended 1 lances were kept in trust
companies and drew throe per cent, in

n account of tho pmspeirt for a pros-
perous spring and summer in the coal
lusincss not being overly bright, G311
Richard Coulter and Hon. George F.
Hull havo decided to iiitrodu -e the Piu-
gree potato patch plan among the 7ut or
more miners employed at their several
coal works in this vicinity. This will
afford employment duriug the dull pe
riod. The miners are each to lo given
one-fourth and one half acre patch of
ground lor gardening purposes. It is
proposed by tho operators to put the
ground iu readiness, furnish the seed and
plants, an. 1 then turn the tracts over to
the employes for proper care and culti
vation. The work of tilling will begin
at once. Greeusburg Demos-rat
An Egg Teit
A correspondent of The Dakota Fanner
asks, "Is there any sure way of distin
guishing perfectly fresh eggs from taiut
ed ones, or those that have tieen net upon
by hens for several days? Caudiiug is
quite a sure method, but if there is a
way 1 should like to know it." Tho fol
lowing reply is given : "To the experi
ence.! eye, the roughish, or granulated,
surface of the perfectly fresh egg distin
guishes it at once from the more shiny
or x)Iished surface of the egg that has
!een under the hen a day or two. We
can pick out every fresh egg among a
nestful of those that have been sat on.
even in the dark, ine secret is very
simple. Just scratch over the surface
with the finger nail ; if it grates, the egg
is fresh, but if the nail slides smoothly
the egg is old. A little practice makes
this a sure test"
