A GREAT deal of discussion is going
on at present as to the best way of taking the
lives of persons convicted of capital crimes
Mr. Park Benjamin, a well-known scientific
expert in applied mechanics, advocates electric
ity as the best substitute for the process of
hanging criminals. He dissents from Professor
Drapers opinion, that it would be found very
diftcalt to pat electricity into practical opera
tion for the purpose. On the contrary, Mr.
Benjamin believes, a sinlple apparatus could
be devised so compact that it would occupy no
more space than an ordinary travelling trunk,
capable of dischanfing an electric spark potent
enough "to kill simultaneously more men than
have ever been hanged in oomnany in this
eoantrr," with entire safety to the operating
Sheriff. At the Stevens Institute, in Hoboken,
N. Y., there is an electric coil which yields
sparks twentv-one inches long that penetrate
«ass blocks three inches thick, and tne Royal
Polytechnic Institution, in London, possesses
one of even greater potency. The awe-inspir
ing influence of such a mysterious mode of
capital punishment he considers one of its im
portant recommendations, whereas hanging
Srodoces on the public no emotions superior to
isgust.

The Judge remarked that he did not believe
that either of the defendants really intended to
com mitt a fraud because they had promptly,
and without reservation, delivered all of their
property to the bank in order to make amends
as far as possible for the done. In
view of this fact he thought it unnecessary to
impose a heavy fine.

THERE is trouble in the German
Lutheran Church at Honesdale, I'a., owing to
charges against the moral character of Rev. F.
A. Hertiberger, who came from Ohio to be
pastor of the church two vears ago. The ac
cusation is that be is in tne habit of getting
drunk. In fifteen years the church has had
bod luck with five pastors. The first was dis- '
missed for being so drunk in the pulpit that he i
had to be carried into the street. The second
gave dissatisfaction because he draok in fash
ionable resorts and not in humbler saloons.
The third offended because he preached
against drinking at all. The fourth—well,
there was a married woman in that case. And
now it is liquor again.

as the Wabash lines, tbey seem to have forced
Vanderbilt to sell to them, as they could have

WHEN a railroad company issues ,
a new time table it is a good thing to let all the
employes, especially those who run the trains,
know it, because it is liable to create confusion
if some trains steer by one time table and some i
by another. An illustration of the truth of
this remark occurred on a Connecticut road i
lately. About a week before, it seems that the j
officers of the road issued in a quite kind of
way an entirely new schedule for the running i
of trains. Some of the conductors apparently i
got wind of this rather important fact and some
did not, and the consequence was that some j
trains were running on the old time and some I
on the new, and thus it happened about 7 <
o'clock last Monday that an old-timer freight
and a new-timer express tried to pass on the
same track while going at a high r.ate of speed.
Singularly enongh nobody was killed, though .
many were badly injured and a large amount !
of railroad property destroyed. It is probable,
however, that the accident will cause the news '
of the change of time to spread among the rest 1
of the employes, and this will greatly tend to '
promote the comfort of passengers.

PETER GOELET died lately. Peter 1
was worth all the way from $12,000,000 to S2O.- I
000,000 —we would be satisfied ourselves with 1
the lower estimate. He thought a great deal 1
of his money ; so much that he never spent a '
cent when he could save it. We couldn't begin
to tell how much real estate in New York 1
belonged to him ; it was a principle of his life
never to sell an inch of land once in the pos
session of the Goelet family. He lived alone
In a house on Broadway, New York, just above 1
Madison Square. The dwelling stoiid apart in
a large yard in the midst of stores and business
houses, and the Broadway passers used to stop
to peep through the irou railing at Peter
Goelets companions. These were pheasants
from India, storks from Egypt, Guiuea fowls
and rare birds from all over the world. A mag
nificent milch cow contentedly chewed her cud
and reigned over the enclosure. In winter
the cow was housed In a barn back of the
house, and the birds were safely sheltered in
the upper chambers of the house and fed from
the hand of Peter Goelet, late millionaire
poultry fancier, now gathered to his fathers.

| Meeting of County Assessors.
i At the suggestion of the County Commis
i sioners, the Assessors of the county met with
them in the Court House, last Tuesday week, for
1 the purpose of consulting regarding the pro
i priety of assessing all taxable property at its full
value.
Commissioner Donaldson was called to the
i Chair.
Commissioner Gribben stated that the present
mode of assessing was bad and was getting
worse. He said that Assessors in assessing
property often added the full value of new
improvements, and that, while the land itself
was down to a basis of $lO per acre. For in
stance, if A and B each owned 100 acres of
unimproved land and paid tax on a valuation
of $lO per acre, the total valuation would be
SI,<XN) each, and a ten mill tax would amount
to $lO, but if B improves his land, and the As
sessor thinks the improvement adds $5 per acre
to the value of it, he adds $5 per acre to the
assessed value of $lO per acre, and assesses it
at sls per acre, and the result is that B pays
one-half more tax than A. This is undoubtedly
unjust. Suppose that A's land was assessed at
its full value of SSO per acre, and B's at its full
value of $55 per acre, reduce the tax to two
mills, and A's tax will amount to $lO and B's
to sll, which is just.
Mr. Gribben then read a paper which showed
the amount of bonds, mortgages, notes and
money now on interest in this county, as as-
Brady township, S7OO : Buffalo, S7OO ; Butler
township, $200; Centre $450; Cherry $1,740;
Connoquenessing, $2o0; Clinton, $700; For
ward $1,150; Franklin, $300; Fairview, ss,ooo;
Jefferson, $5,100 ; Middlesex, $250 ; Oakland,
$1,475; Penn, $1,989; Parker, $10,500; Slip
peryrock, $1,400 ; Summit, S3OO ; Washington,
*300; Winfield, $1,900; Worth, ss<)o; Ilarris
ville, $4,500, and all the other townships and
boroughs in the county, nothing.
He thought it strange that the Assessors
could not find more money, and referred them
to the Register's and Prothonotary's offices,
where they could find records of much more.
He could not understand why we have so many
debtors and so few creditors. But creditors
could complain, and justly, that they should
nst pay eight mills on their money, with real
estate assessed at one-fifth its real value. For
instance, A and B own 100 acres each, worth
$5,000, assessed at SI,OOO. At eight mills, each
pays $8 tax, but if B sells his 100 acres and
gets his $5,000 in money or mortgages, he
would, at eight mills, be compelled to pay S4O
tax. This would be unjust, and is another
argument in favor of assessing real estate at its
full value.
If this is done, those who now have money
and conceal the fact will have no excuse for so
doing, and no injustice will be done those who
cannot or do not conceal the fact of their
having it.
Messrs. Dawson Wadsworth, Josiah Thomp
son, R. M. Harbison and others, also spoke in
favor of assessing at full value.
All the Assessors of the county, with the
exception of about eight, were present.

of 90 and 92 Federal street, Allegheny

A Wonderfull Record.
Myriads of so-called "specifies" anil "cures"
for Rheumatism have already been brought
before the public, and many of them have been
endorsed by the ceitificates of respectable and
promite citizens, who have derived benefit from
such preparations. There is no doubt that a
great many of these "Liniments," "Oils," etc..
so widely advertised and freely recommended
for Rheumatism and painful complaints of a
similar nature, have genuine merit and will
relieve certain type* of tlie complaints named ;
but when Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and kind-
diseases have become chronic and threaten
serious results, you may rest assured that they
will help but very little. Although not rec
ommended as "infallible," the peculiar quali
ties of ST. JACOBS OIL especially adapt it to
those cases which may be termed "chronic"
and which have previously withstood all
known "specifies" m well as the prescriptions
of the best physicians.
We would mention, an an example, the case
of Mr. A. Heilman, Kditor of the Pittsburgh
Republican, who suffered with Rheumatism
for two years. After vainly using all the rec
ommended remedies and exhausting the skill
of the most experienced physicians without
even tempory relief, it required only two bot
tles of ST. JAC< MM OIL to effect a permanent
cure. Mr. C. Hanoi, a well-knowu citizen of
Youngstown, Ohio, secured for his wife, who
for twelve years had been a constant sufferer
from Neuralgia in the head, the services of the
ablest physicians in the land, but they were
unable to do anything for her ; half a bottle of
ST. JACOBS OIL cured her. Mr. Wm. Rein
hart, Elmore, Wis., report ithe case of a neigh
bor who for twenty-four years had suffered so
terribly with Hhcumrlism that, at times, he
could hardly move around; a few bottles of
ST. JACOBS OIL cured him. "To cap the cli
max," however, Mr. A. Neiger. of Taylorville,
Pa., writes that his mother who had been a
continual sufferer with Klieumatism for the
past thirty years, used one bottle of ST. JA
COHH OIL and was immediately relieved of all
pain. These are results which truly deserve
to lie brought to public notice ; but they are
not exceptions, as will lie seen by the numer
ous other certificates from all parts of the
United States. It should be the duty of every
one to call the attention of his suffering friends
and neighbors to this wonderfully efficacious
preparation, especially as the low price of 50
cents a bottle places it within-the reach of all
persons, rich and poor.
