Petitions are in circulation asking
the incoming Congress to expel Brighani
II. Roberts, the Utah Mormon, when he
takes his seat in that body. Brigham,
like his noted namosake, has more wives
than the law allows, and to permit him
to sit in tho American Congress would
be practically an endorsement of polyga
my, and the Congressman who fails to
vote for his expulsion ought never to be
allowed to return to his people. If this
nation is against polygamy, which we all
claim it is, this will be the one great op
portunity afforded to show it. This bra
zen bigamist should be kicked out so
promptly that the experiment of sending
such a man to represent them will never
again be thought of ty the people of
Utah or any other community.

Among the prisoners now confined In
the Lackawanna ci-unty jail is 1 man
named Ganuon, who has been incarcer
ated there for three years for contempt of
court in refusing to testify in a civil case
involving a land title. A peculiarity of
a commitment to juil for contempt of
conrt is that it is made without term and
tho prisoner must remain in jail until he
purges himself of contempt. There is said
to bo no indication that Gannon is ready
t- cry quits. Ex.

Tho Andrews Holocaust.
The little fellow who was so severely
frozen in tho Andrews tragedy is getting
along better than at first expected. It
will not be necessary to take off the arm.
and probably his hands and fingers can
be saved also. He savs that the fire came
down the stove pipe and when ho opened
the door to let out the smoke his mother's
dress, which hung near the stove, caught
lire. But it appears incredible from
what can ba learned of the condition ot
tho pipe and fine that the fire could have
originated up stairs. Mrs. Andrews
watered the horse nut of an old dish pan
which she set on the corner of the porch,
while the horse drank so that the boy
could soe tho horse. While there she
asked the bov if the baby was awake ami
went to the door and looked in to see it'
all was rlu'ht. and saw no signs ol any
danger anywhere. There was a low fire
in tho stove at the time. When she came
