No paper next week Reason, "4th

THE principal matters our people
have for discussion now are, the com
et, the sentence of White, tbe veto o
the judicial bill and tbe coming new
railroads.
SOME laws of the late Legislature
will be found in this issue of the Citi
ZKN. In our next we will give the law.
passed relative to primary elections
and political conventions generally,
which are now to be regulated by law
or at least attempted so to be.
THE comet, first seen in tbe north
east from here, can now be seen in the
north-west every evening about S
o'clock. It seems to travel from wesl
to east and in a contrary direction frore
all the other celestial bodies. Hence
it is supposed to be recediog from tbe
sun. Any alarm as to its p'unging in
to that body, or striking tbe earth with
its tail and disturbing things generally
seems to have passed away.
WE have received an inquiry front
Coylesville as to "some extravagani
remarks about the people of that, sec
tion," rumored to have been made b)
certain of tbe Attorneys for tbe defence
in tbe late White homicide case, bui
can give no information on tbe subject
not having beard said alleged remarks
and not being in tbe habit of giving
any attention to anonymous communi
cations. The writer should at leasi
bare given us bis real name.
MERCER county is becoming person
ally interested, so to speak, in this star
route business,, one of tbe latest dis
missals being tbat of W. H. Turner
whose home is in the northeastern pari
ot tbat county. Turner has been one
of tbe principal clerks in tbe contraci
office, and has been in charge of a ma
jority of the star routes in tbe far west
ern States and Territories for severa
years. He was discharged upon th<
recommendation of tbe board of inves
tigators. His complicity with the op
erations of the ring are said to be clear
ly proven.
Gov. HOTT has very properly ve
toed tbe judicial apportionment bill
one of tbe most iniquitous measures o
tbe late Legislature. Fifteen additions
judges, at an annual cost of sixty tbous
and dollars for their salaries alone were
provided for, by erecting new distficti
in direct violation of tbe constitutioi
and by giving other districts entirely
unnecessary additional judges. Por
tions of the State were also ridiculously
gerrymandered to suit tho judicial a*
pirations of some of the worst roosteri
in tbe House—notably Colborn, of Som
erset. Tbe Governor's veto message
is a strong one and in its conclusion!
meets with tbe approval of all, except
perhaps those who expected to benefit
by tbe bill becoming a law.— Sharon
Herald.
THE Butler Eagle is about the only
paper we have noticed that thinks Gov
ernor Hoyt did wrong in disapproving
of tbe Judiciary bill It speaks of the
veto of tbe Governor as follows:
"In this veto message he takes up the
twad lie of the press about the extra
Judges, and compares the number ol
Judges in Pennsylvania to the number
of Judges in the United States Courts,
and says tbe salaries of tbe former ex
ceeds the later by SIOO,OOO. Ju«t
what this has got to do with the bill
might be a question of considerable in
terest. *llis principal objection to the
bill is ibat several counties not having
tbe requisite population of forty thous
and, as his interpretation of tbe consti
tution makes it, have been erected into
single districts. This may be a seri
ous objection, but we hardly think a
fatal one."
The above are certainly specimens
of fine logic. Just what the editor's
vietv is as to tbe difference between a
"serious objection" and a "fatal one,"
would be a matter of interest to know
in law making. Then the "twaddle
of the press" is rich, and tbe Governor
ought to be ashamed of himself for pay
ing any attention to what the people
or the press say. He should look only
to see what the "ring" and "roosters''
have to say. The idea of paying any
attention to the voice of the people ; or
to the cost to the Slate ; or to a Hear
violation of tbeconstitution of the State
by tbe Legislature, are things, in tin
opinion of the Eagle, that the Governor
has no right to trouble himself about.
It is suggested tbat tho Eagle editor
should test th'.s right of tho Governor
by a writ of quo ivarranto, issued
against hiui. This would bring him
to his senses, and bring him and this
"twaddle ot the press" busiuesa down
right straight.

Monday next is the "Fourth of July,"
the one hundred and fifth anniversary
of our Independence. The day is ever
to bt? remembered, and will be, as long
as we are a united and free Nation. It
meet and proper that all work and labor
cear- on that day, in order thai all may
properly celebrate it. To do this it is
necessary that editors and printers join
in the celebration. There will there
fore be no CITIZEN issued from this of

a patriotic and pleasant time on "th e
day we celebrate."

TUB VETO.
Vl'hHt 111* Prwtt of (he Ktuig fray
-Uoveruor Hoyt Mmtliiinvd.
We clip the following from among
our exchanges. Nearly every
in the State approves of the veto of
Gov. Hoyt; the Builer Eagle here be
ing one of the few that does not. It
thinks the veto is "twaddle." But no
difference. Here is what otfcer« BaJ
THE JUDICIARY APPORTIONMENT
The Governor bis finally decided to
veto this infamous bill. It is said that
it will lie a very elaborate veto, cover
ing all tbe points of objections to it.
The idea of incurring sycb an expense
—oversrt(f,ooo a year—without any
justification for it, is something very
hard to understand unless it is a new
way of obtaining special legislation.
—kiltaning Free Prenn.
Governor Hoyt's veto of the judicial
apportionment bill is one of the most
creditable acts of his administration.
The bill was in no proper sense a right
attempt to carry out an important con
stitutional provi ion, but, in Koine of
its feaiures, it was a disgraceful gerry
mander, for which no extenuation can be
offered, while in others it was plainly
in tbe interest of a number of our am
bitious lawyer politicians rather tji»n
in those of tbe public.— Evening Tele
graph.
Tbe act to corrupt justice, to make
political bargains aud to reward coun
try roosters in the Legislature, which
is legally termed tbe judicial apportion
ment bill, was squelched yesterday by
Governor Hoyt and a good many pol
iticians in tbe interior of tbe State,
wbo expected to profit by it, wi|l, no i
doubt, grieve greatly.
Govenor Hoyt has vetoed the Judi
cial Apportionment Bill, and we feel
warranted, by what we know of it, in
saying that be has done well jn so
doing. The judiciary institutions of
onr State are costly enough now, and
there seems little reason for adding
IHOO.OOO to tbe expense already incur
red, and especially when there is no
better reason for it than the fact that
somebody, for whom there is at present
no provision made, wauts a place.
Tbe cost of the judiciary branch of our
Government is at present over a ha f
million of dollars.— Or aw ford Jour
nal.
Govenor Hoyt's veto of tbe Judicial
Apportionment Bill passed by the
Legislature at the recent sessiou will
be almost unanimously sustained.
The Governor not ooly saves the State
many thousands of dollars annually by
this stroke of bis jwn, but he has also
preserved the judiciary of the State.
There can be no question that the bill
was designed to further the ends of
individuals at the ex|>ense of the inter
ests of tbe Commonwealth, and that it
was only enacted bv a qeries of bar
gainings discreditable to all concerned
iu them. The text of tbe Governor's
veto, which is an interesting as well as
important document, will lie found
elsewhere in the Press.— Philadelphia
Pre tot.
Governor Hoyt has done the State a
good service in vetoing the judicial
apportionment hill. It was an ill-ad
vised measure, which proposed an ad
dition for all time of SOOO,OOO to the
tax burdens of the S ate, not a dollar
of which was required by the necessi
ties of the people.— l'tHnburgk Cum
mercial-Q izrlte.
It was an ill-judged log-rolling
scheme, and Governor Hoyt deserves
the thanks of the people for setting his
foot down squarly and firmly upon the
measure.— Indiana Messenger.

The comet, that first was seen from
here in the north-east from two to three
o'clock iu the morning, turned up on
Sunday evening last in the north-west,
where it was seen at about 9 o clock. 11
the same comet it would soem to be
verv erratic in its travels. The cloudy
weather prevents any satisfactory view
of it t<i any not having the use of pow*
erful glasses.
The following about this comet, and
some others that have appeared in
titjies past, may be of interest to our
readers i
Prof. Isaac Sharpless, of Hartford
College, Philadelphia, in an interview
With a reporter gave these interesting
points i
'The Newtonian reflector with which
our observations were mad.'',' said Prof.
Sharpl.'ss, 'did not enable us to deter
mine the exact shape of the orbit in
vyhich the comet moved, and it is,
theretore, quite fur me to
say whether it will now approach the
sun and increase nightly in brilliancy
or recede f om it and become gradual
ly less visible.

Dr Gould, who saw the comot from
the observatory near Buenos Ayrea,
South America, on June 1, and tele
graphed the discovery to England, be
lieves it to the same great cornet of
J§97 which excited much interest
among scientists atjci i ( ot u al*n»f
among the superstitious. The diame
ter of its nucleus as measured by B<-s
--sel, the German astronomer, was found
to be 528 miles, it was t' en taken to
be fjeMQtJit; and peculated by him tore
turn in 1,648 years, 't'be Orbits of Uje
comets nre changed, however, by the
attractions of the planets, and so this
may be the same one. I should judge
f.hftt the tail of the comet which ap
peared tM* yap »i* Qr
degrees long.'
Which in miles—'
'Well, that of 1874, discovered on
the ft»on»li,g of .July was four de
grees in length, or about
miles. The nucleus of this eoniot is
equal in brilliancy to Saturn or Mars
besides the envelope and tail by which
it is at once identified with the naked
eye,'
,r f he coutkt of WJi approached the
sun, did it not V
'Yes. and in about three weeks time
the tail lengthened from 4 to 4a de
grees, or about 25,000,000 English
miles. As the comet approaches the
sgn the tail bee: mes elongated, ap
parently, by &o#>o|repollrint force of the
sun, and the head is more brilliant as j
the velocity of the body increases to j
thousands of miles an hour. If the
comet travels in the opposite direction
the tail and nucleus may disappear al
together without note or warning. Yes,
this comet wili tiiij fjrfit, because
the head always points to the sun.
You may watch for its appearance in
the morning in the north-east, close to
the hoviflon, between half past 2 and
4 o'clock, and ft will be Mtt'ikin M ly visi
ble as long as night lasts. If the com
et is approaching the sun it will in
crease in brilliancy every day. This
is ihe first bright pofppf since the
spectroscope has been perfected, and
this instrument, if opportunities are
givoi), will throw new light on the
composition of fcOttets it) ffei|epil.'
'What theories are held on the sub.

'Coggia's comet in 1874 was first
seen at Marseilles, France, «»n April 17,
and it came near enough to the world
to scare a gooi} dimy people —danger-
ously near; that is to say, within iJOQ,;
000 miles, but it finally disappeared in
a beautiful shower of meteors, and has
not l>een seen since. Comets vary in

nucleus to 8,000 miiou. f Ijf-'jr passage
through the air produces intense heal
and the world would undoubtedly be
scorched if the comet came within

Terrible It. It. it'ciilnil lit

A terrible accident on the 'West
I'enn. 11. I!, which brought death to
three human beings, happened at Fre
port las| Tuesday nftcrnoon week. From
the Jour mi I of that place is taken
the following account of it:
"Shortly before five o'clock, when
the regular evening Ireigbt was pass
ing through town our people were star
tled by a succession of shrill danger
signals from the locomotive, which
were followed almost instantly by a
teprible crash that was heard a mile
away and at the sound of which every
heart stood still with terror. Hasten
ing to the lower end of town vv« saw
such a sight as had never been wit
nessed here before aud we prav may
never Is; seen again. The eastern
span of the bridge was broken down,
the locomotive was buried iu the bot
tom of the creek, which is seven or
eight feet deep at this point, aud eleven
freight cars loaded with limestone and
coke piled iu one mass of ruin on top,
aud a car hanging over the abutment,
with on<» end on the wrecked cars be
low, while beneath all this it was
known three human beings lay cru.-h
--ed to death. It was but a few
iniuutcß until tbe full horror of the
situation was reali/.-.-d by the hundreds
of people who had gathered, and then
willing hands worked with a zeal be
gotten of their humanity to recover the
lifeless bodies of tbo unfortunates. In
Ihe course of an houi tbe first body was
taken out, which proved to be that of
Major Snowdcn, He was terribly
crushed but not disfigured much about
the face. The arm and shoulder of uo
othcr could Is; seen iu the wreck, but
it was not until four hours later that
they were enabled to get the body out.
This wn.4 JameV Dietrick, thfo firtman
His breast was crushed t? a jelly, and
his skull broken. Both of these were
found ou the top of the locomotive, |
which was lying on its right side ,
The engineer, James Repine, was si ill j
missing and as . a number of persons'
asserted they had him jump off
into the creek when the accident oecur
ed, it was supposed his body might
not be near the engine. The conduc
tor of the gravel train, Isaac Craig, j
and other railroaders were confident, '
however, that when found he would
not be far from his place on the engine, j
accordingly they continued working to i
get at the under side and in a short
time discovered his head about a foot
under water. His body was held fast
by the enfrine and it was not until
eleven o'clock Wednesday, that he
was finally extricated. His one hand
had hold of the throttle, and the other
was on the reverse bar, thus showing
that be died at his post. From lieing
in the water so long his arms had be
come still'and when laid out at the un
dertakers, his position, had be he»n
upright, WM of 1 an engineer on
duty. Both the engineer and fireman
lived in Blairsvillc whither the bodies
were taken Wednesday. Jomes Die
trick, fireman, was about thirty Jl\e
years oil, and leaves a \ v ife and three
children. James Hapine, engineer,
was about twenty-oight years old aud
leaves a wife and one child.
The cause of the accident was as
follows: After the engine passed 2nd
street, a cow that had been feeding
near the cattle pens started across tbe
trat'lf. Thft alarm was Bounded but
the train was under too much headway
to stop and struck the cow when about
three hundred and fifty feet from the
bridge She was carried on the cow
catcher until within forty fuct q{ the
bridge, when sho rolled under the
wheels, causing the locomotive to leave
the track. It run on the tics until it
was probably twenty feet inside the
structure when it is supposed tQ
struck trie side timbers' Knocking them
out aud causing the whole span to go
down. The cars followed one after
another until eleven had gone over and
piled the wreck almost, on a level
\jiththc track. There was no time
after the engine left the track for any
of tbo men on it to save themselves by
jumping. Robert Gallaher, a brakeman
was on the deck of the third car from
the front, and saved himself by leaping
ground just as the car went over.
He would have gone over the abut
ment of thu bridge had it not been lor
a telegraph polo against which he
struck after touching ground, lie was
jarred and bruised somewhat, but no
bones wore broken.
