The Panama canal, that European
governments seem to tike such a

Since the death of editor John W.
Forney it has become publicly known

An American named Cosbin has a

starting at the lower end of Long

New South Wales. To make the dis

to travel 4G3 miles a day.
This is a queer world, or rather
the people in it are queer. Some
men run away with other men's wives,
end some women run away with other
wives men ; but the other day the
queerest occurrence took place in
Philadelphia. A wife left her hus
band, and forthwith the husband
went and hanged himself.
"Matob Lyon, of Pittsburg, has
adopted prompt measures for the
suppression of the sale of liquor on
Sunday in the city. Two saloon
keepers were given a hearing a few
days ago, and were given the choice
between paying a fine of $100 each
and costs or going to the work house
for sixty days. They chose the former,
ond were discharged."
The Socialists or Communists held a
convention in New York lat week, ami
their premises or resolutions, if follow
ed to a logical conclusion, would just
lead to what they seemingly are seeking
to prevent, namely, too much govern
ment. If their premises be followed to
conclusion the individual loses ah
control of self, and becomes a mere ma
chiue, a dependent of the State.
Three jury fixers have been fixed
to Philadelphia. Oue goes to the pea
itentiary for six years, another goes to
prison one year, and a third one pays a
fine of one hundred dollars. It is but
justice to the Philadelphia Timet tosaj
that it was the journal that directed
the white light of public scrutiny to fall
into the jury box in the city of Broth
erly Love, and hence the detection of
the greatest of crimes in the adminis
tration of justice among men. It is
possible that the jury fixer is not con
fined in his op crattons to criminal cases,
and may be found at work outside of
Philadelphia courts.
Mocat, a Philadelphian, who alter
ed a tally sheet in the February elec
tion of 1S8J was brought into court
and pleaded guilty, and was sentenced
to undergo an imprisonment of two
years in the county jail and pay costs
of prosecution and a fine of $1,000.
Mouat, in the presence of the elec
tion board, counted the tickets for a
certain office and then changed the
figures an the tally and return papers
to a less number than had been fixed
by the board. There are men in Mif
fimtwwn that cay they can lay their
basis on men in Juuiata that have
changed primary election returns.
There are unobtrusive guards about
the White House all the time to
guard President Arthur. H.ng Gui
teau, and the shadow of a strong
Government that has hovered over
the Republic since the 2nd of last
July will quickly vanish. Thousands
of lives were sacrificed to save the
Republic from the embrace of rebel
lion. It is the weakest of sentimen
tality to stop at the life of 6uch a
human dog as Guiteau. When the
shadow of destruction to the Repub
lic is cast by such a human wretch it
is an humiliation to hear lawyers ex
press a desire to have him spared
fVotn the fate of the murderer.
Is District township, Berks coun
ty, a number of men that were rap
idly losing money by paying assess
ments on speculative life insurance
policies held a meeting to publicly
burn their policies. One of the par
ties held policies to the amount of
$25,009. A brass band had been en
gaged for the occasion to furnish the
music The policies were strung to
gether and fastened to a pole that
had been st-t in the ground, and when
all things were Jy a little daugb.
ter of one of the chief jjolicy holders
set fire to the policies and they were
soon consumed to ashes. The uisls
ter of ceremony shouted, '"Hands all t
round," and a hundred or more of the
assembly joined hands and darned
around the pole. After the policies
were burned a grand supper was par
taken of, and a dance participated in
till late at night.
The Southern st'uesmen of the
school of the Lost Cause are now
indulging in a piece of prediction
relative to Yankeeland. They say
that retribution will in the course of
two generations overtake the New
Englanders' children. The sins of
the fathers will be visited on the chil
dren. They blame the New Engend
er for the abolition of slavery. Th
' '.nutitntion of slavery being abolish
ed, the cotton manufactories will
gradually be moved to the southern
cotton field, and thereby the aboli
tion of the Yankee's manufactur
ing establibamcnts in a great mea
sure will be broken up. Norfolk,
Charleston, Savannah, Mobile and
New Orleans they say, are to be the
commercial and financial centers of
the continent, and Yankeeland is to
be a barren waste.
A hepoet got abroad that when the
rebellion collapsed, and when Jeff
Davis fled from Richmond he took
with him over a half million dollar
f in orli1 anil silver, whirh h armro-
- , ii
priated to his own use, Basil Duke
and B. F. Camp, old and trusted
rebel soldiers, came to the rescue of
the good name of Davis, and say they
were part of the guard detailed to
protect the coin when Doris and the
rebel government fled frpm Rich
mond, and that the money was divid
ed out among the soldiers by the au
thority of the defunct government,
while it was running away to escape
capture. Give the devil his due."
How to Stir Them Up.
To stir np a bull, flaunt a red rag
in front of him. To stir up an in
dependent, say Don Cameron. To
6tir up Guiteau, say murder, or he
was not insane. To stir up the Tri
buae, say boss, common schools, or
jury wheel. To 6tir up the Herald,
say Schweier-Schweyer. To stir up
the half breeds, say Grant To stir
up the traders, say mule. To stir np
the Greenbackers, say hard money.
To stir np the Democracy, say high
tariff and Jeff Davis.
Benjamin F. Sheldon, a church dea
con, a Sabbath-school man, in tha
town of Bristol. Vermont, fell in love
with a girl of 17 years of age, one of
his pupils in his Sabbath-school class.
The ghl was in love with the deacon,
and on Christmas day the lovers
eloped, the deacon leaving a wife and
two daughters behind. Sheldon had
sold the most of his property during
the early part of the winter, and con
verted it into available paper. It is
now believed that he sold Lis proper
ty with the object of running away
with his Sabbath-school pupiL
It is natural to presume that there
will be more than the usual nmount
of courting and flirting in adminis
tration circles at Washington, con
sidering the fact that President Ar
thur himself is a w idower ; hia Post
Master General. Howe, is a widower ;
his Secretary of the Treasury, Folger,
is a widower, and the Associate Jus
tice if the United States, Gray, is a
bachelor. The administration under
such a state of circumstances may
find delight in reading Shakspeare's
4i Love's Labor Lost"
Tke Aor.i American saya: uThe
popular indignation at the outrageous
judicial farce daiiy enacted at the
Giiiteau trial in Washington seems
naturailj enough to extend to Eng
land, where- the greatest surprise is
expressed a the spectacle of an as
sassin on trial for ths murder of a
President of the Republic bting al
lowed to usurp the entire control of
the court, to insult witnesses to con
vert everything into a mere jost, and
to conduct the trial to suit himself."
Early last Friday morning a freight
oar in a westward bound train broke an
axle at Christiana, a place betweeu
Philadelphia and Lancaster city ou the
main line of the P. C. R It , which
separated the train, leaving eight or
leu cars behind, which were, tun into
by another westward bound freight
train. The western train was on the
uorth track and piled the detached car
in large wreck on the south track.
An eastward bound freight, made up of
oil tanks, lumber and coal cats, came
thundering along immediately after the
wrect, and as there is a sharp curve on
(he road below Christiana, the engineer
did Dot see the wreck until be was on
it, and there was do time to put signals
out to warn him. George W. Duffen
derfer, the engineer of the east boaod
train, and bis fireman, Samuel Craig,
had only a sight of the wreck before
them when they dashed into it, prod a
org a collision which was tremendous
in all ltd effects. The engine of the
cast train was thrown tiff the track,
rolling a considerable distance before it
stopped, and ooal oil and lumber cars
were piled up on each other, the oil be
coming ignited, and instantly there was
a flame along the track euch as was
never seen in that locality before. The
Lancaster city fire department sent fire
engines to the scene of the wreck to
put out the fire. The bodies of Dieffen
derfer and Craig were got out of the
wreck, but the men were 80 badly hurt
that they both died before they got to
Harrisburg, where they both lived.
Craig was unmarried, but Dieffender
fer leaves a wife and two children.
George Frownfelter, a resident of Har
ri? borg hut a native of Perry county,
a brakeinao, who bad been on the road
only about two weeks, was also killed
and bis body consumed in the fire. The
fire raged all night, consuming cars,
lumber, coal and oil.

TEIAL
Of the Murderer Guiteau..
Dr. Hamilton, from New York, was
a witness, and was questioned at
length as to the operations of the
mind, as to dreams and hallucina
tions. He said that the general un
derstanding of "inspiration" these
days, is that it means ua taking in."
For example, the Mormons are in
spired to take a plurality of wives.
The assassin was not pleased with
the do-tor's evidence, and he suggest
ed to his lawyer, Scoville, that he
tear the notes ot tiia tssiimonj w
nieces, as they wsre tbs contriou: ions
of a crank. The doctor said : "There
are a great many insane people
medically insane who appreciate the
difference between right and wrontf
In nearly all the asylum a system of
rewards and panishinents is in vo-goa
in dualisg with the insane, showing
that it is recognized in ths treatment
of the insane that thy can distin
guish between right and wrong and
c-ia control their actions."
Dr. Worcester, of Salem, Mass.,
was called. He has been an investi
gator of insanity fifteen years. He
had examined the prisoner in jail and
had closely observed him in court,
and in his opinion hs is a sane man.
Ths assassin abused the witness, as
ha .lot-s every one. He said : Yes,
S.iflil for vour ODinion,
and turned to his lawyer and called
him a perfect idiot ilis sister spoKe
toLim. Wishing to quiet her, he
auswered her by saying: "You keep
your mouth shut ; you're as big a fool
as your husband. You're a crank on
this business. If yon had all stayed
in Chicago it would have been far
better fur my cass. These relatives
are a nuisance. I would be better
off if I didn't have any. I would
have plenty of friends if this pack of
relatives were out of the way. You
hav htmn an unmiticrated nuisance
on this case all the way through."
. - V
. Dr. Diamond, oi Auourn,
York, was put npen the stand. Near
ly the same questions that had been
asked the others was asked lain. W itr
ness was asked if he thought it would
be any indication of insanity in a
man of mature years who honestly
believed that he was inspired to kill
the President of the United States,
and who honestly believed that when
his motives were known to the people
they would not only excuse but ap
plaud his act, and replied: "If he
honestly believed that, and his will
was dominated by the conviction, it
would be an indication of insanity."
Guiteau ok Experts.
TWn tha conclusion of the testi
mony of Dr. Diamond the murderer
gave his opinion on experts, as loi
Iowr: "These experts mav be all
high-toned, honorable men, but in my
opinion tney nang mors men tnan me
1nclnrs trill Growinr more and
more excited he declaimed for some
minutes, and said: "General Gar
field tie alive to-dav had it not been
for the doctors ; they completed what
my snot began, ine xjora mtenaeu
he should go, and so He let the doc
tors kill him. He didn't die before
his time, though."
Dr. Henry Stearns said, that in
cases of insanity memory is the first
faculty to give way ; the insane have
a poor recollection.
Dr. Orpheus Evans said, that he
has treated about 4,000 insane people.
"The fact that a man believed that
ha would live forever was no indica
tion of insanity. He attributed no
significance to the shape of the head,
because no two insane persons that
he had ever met had heads shaped
alike. From his examination and ob
servation of the prisoner the witness
had formed the clear opinion that he
was sane on the 2d of July."
CliBISTSIAS.
The murderer, Guiteau, spent Christ
mas in jai! that is, Monday, Decem
ber 26, lfc'81 there beiDg no court,
writing an address, in whifh there
was only what he has often said dur
ing the trial, about him being in
spired to shoot Garfield, and about
the President having been killed by
the doctors. He closes the address
as follows : "Thus far the Deity has
fathered the act to my entire satis
faction. He knows I simply execu
ted His will and I know it and a great
many people are beginning to see it,
and they will see it more and more as
time advances. I put up my life on
the Deity's inspiration and I have not
come to grief yet and I have no idea
I nbali, because I do not think I am
destined to be shot or hung. But
that is a maiier for the Deity to pass
on, not me. Wtiifcver the mode of
my exit from this woriil I have no
doubt but my name and work w ill go
thundering down the ages, but Woe
unto the men that kill me privately
or judicially."
Since the Christmas intermission
the triid has leen progressing, the
testimony being that of experts on
the question of insanity ; mcst of
them believe him to be a sane man.
Dr. ilac Donald said : 44 1 believe he
has been feigning what he believed to
be insanity ; I believe he has lxen
attempting to give the impression in
court that he is insane, and with that
idea has been acting a part."
Dr. J. If. Cailender, who had seen
2,000 insane people treated, said : "I
do not believe in the existence of a
type of insanity which could Le called
moral insanity. I can only under
stand by the term " moral monstros
ity" a person of average intellectual
ability who gives loose rein to bis
evil tendencies and commits heinous
crimes. I do not believe the Deity
ever inspired a man to take the life
of a fellow creature ; that if a person
labored under an insane delusion that
he was inspired to kill the President
of the United States, he would
even if be did not talk about it dis
close his purpose by his changed man
ner and conversation."
During the giving of the evidence
the assassin would break out in
abusive interruptions. At last all
patience with him was exhausted and
Judge Porter moved that he be put
in the
Prisoner's Dock,
a place set apart for criminals to sit
in. The murderer became greatly
excited over the proposal to place
him in the dock. He evidently, froia
what he said, feared that when he
would be set away from other people
he would be shot He shouted, "You
want to shoot me, do you ?" address
ing himself to Cprkhill, the District
Attorney. "Ion can't convict me, so
you want to get me shot. You might
as well hang me up outside and tell
the mob to snoot at me. x ten you
rrfliainrr hia voice almost to & shriek!
God Almighty would curse you, sir,
if I was put in tnat oock ana snot
You miserable wretch, yon." '
Mr. Porter (layS his hand dra
matically on Mr. Corkhill's shoulder
ati.1 Rneakinsr slowlv) That imputa
tion against this gentleman, just as
vile as the obscene charges of the
prisoner, calls for a vindication. From
the beginning oi tms trial lue dis
trict Attorney has observed a spirit of
fairness, of honor, ot clemency, oi
toward the prisoner, un
exampled in any State trial reported
in history. He has shown a fidelity
to hia public duties, tne rruits or

audacity and efLoutery which spares

put himself in the position of oon
troling his own trial ; defying that
authority to which he will soon learn
U submit. In regard to ths poaitios
taken by Mr. Corkhill, I entirely eoa
eur with him, whatever the tonse
quenoes to the prisoner. If he had in
bis hand that bull dog pistol from
which he sent the bullet wbieh assassi

pronounces yoar decision bis practice

your bear! and yos would be in the
agonies of death. Once publicly, when
one of us was bowed down by an af
fliotion inch as comes to ns rarely in
life, the other members of this jury
were uienaeed by this man. One of
these jurors was threatened with a new
"inspiration" by which he should die
before this case cornea to sn end. The
time has now oome when tbe law must
make its appearance in this Court room,
and when a man who pretends to be a
maniac shall bo longer ait at the coun
sel table and exercise privileges wbieb
yon would accord to co member of the
American Bar.
The assassin was then placed is the
dock.

DISPATCHES.
CbtcnntATi, O., Dec, 25. A special
from Ashland, Ey., says that Mr. and
Mrs. -J. W. Gibbons, who reside near
there, went visiting on Friday night,
leaving their daughter, 14 years old,
and son Robert aged 17 years, and
Miss Emma Thomas, 17 years old,
in charge of the Gibbons homestead.
During the night the house was en
tered by scoundrels who outraged
and murdered both the girls. Their
clothing was then saturated with oil
and the honse set on fire. Young
Gibbous, it is supposed, attempted to
give an alarm, when he -was also
killed. All three had their heads
split open with ft hatchet The home
stead was burned to aihes. There is
no clue to the murderers.
Rsaduo, Dec. 27. Adam Front
heiser, boy twelve years of age, has
been arrested and lodged in jail here
on the charge of having wrecked ft
train on the Schuylkill and Lehigh
railroad, near Lenhartsviilt, some
months ago, which resulted in the
mstant death of the fireman, Charles
Mathews, and the narrow escape of
others. The arrest was made by Mar
shal Heislar, of the Reading railroad
coal and iron police, who had been
detailed to investigate the matter.
The prisoner and an older brother
live together in small house some
three miles from the scene of the ac
cident Young Frontheiser confess
ed havina placed the obstructions ou
the track. Tha spot chosen was on
where the engineer could not see a
distance of fiitv vards ahead. The
obstructions were large stjnes se
curely fasted with rails. He also con
fessed having watched the train until
it struck the stones and saw the en
gine roll ovr and crush Matthews to
death. What motive prompted the
bov to the terrible deed is not fcnown.
The only evidence against the boy
seems to be nis own confession.
BiiADrosD, Pa., Dec 27. While
Job a McCleary, an employe of the
Roberts Company, was torpedoing
well ue.ir Havmaker to-dav, the well
mad i iow of oil and threw the tor
pedo out, causing its explosion. The
torpedo contained forty-ight pounds
of nitro-glycerina McCleary started
to run as soon as he discovered the
well was about to flow. His coat
tail was cut off as smoothly as though
done by a tailor. His back, trugha
and arms were lacerated by flying
pieces of stone, wood and tin, and he
was thrown about 100 feet, but
jumped np and continued running
until he fell from fatigue and tright.
His escape from death is considered
most remarkable. The derrick was
reduced to splinters, and windows in
houses half a mile ftwvy were broken
by the force of the explosion.
Ix our family of ten, for over two
years Parker's Ginger Tonic has cured
headache, malaria, and in fact all other
complaints so satisfactorily that we
are in excellent health and no ex
pense for doctors or other medicines.
