THE Pittsburgh Telegraph and the
Pittsburgh Chronicle have been con
solidated and will hereafter be publish
ed under the name ol the Chronicle-
Telegraph. We have been receiving
the Telegraph as an exchange for a
number of years and it has always
l>een a welcome visitor. As a family
jiaper it was a favorite, on account of
ita well selected reading matter, which
feature we have no doubt the new
Chronicle- Telegraph will retain.
A fJMKJIAL term of court convened on
Monday, Ju<lf?e Bred in presiding, with
Associates McCandless and Weir. The
tirst case taken up was that against A.
S. Stauffcr, for seduction, etc., result
ing in his conviction of fornication anil
bastardy, and sentenced by the court
accordingly. As we go to press the
case of John W. Storoy against Thos.
Williams and others is on trial. A
number of other important cases are
down -for trial during the week.
MR. B. F. HILUARI», the recently
elected County. Surveyor, is determin
ed not to be outdone in his profession
as a surveyor. We saw last week a
set of flew and costly instruments he
had just purchased in Pittsburgh.
They embtaced all the instruments
necessity for use in the survey and
description of either the surface of land
or underqeath. Mr. Hilliard is fre
quently employed in the mining dis
tricts of the county to make surveys
and OR timates -of coal lands, and these
expensive instruments he found it
necessary to have in order to do all his
work well. He deserves credit for his
enterprise and is meeting with success
in his profession.
SENATOR EDMITNPS is to the front
with another plan for putting an end to
polygamy, which he elaborates in the
New York Independent rather than on
the floor of the Senate. The Senator
opposea President Arthur's plan for
the government of Utah Territory by
a commission, and does not believe
that the Word of the Lord or the
sword of Ifideon is essential to suppress
polygamy. That job he is confident
can be done if Congress will pass a
little hill that be has just introduced,
suspending female suffrage in Utah,
ordering the publicity of every species
of matrimonial oeremouy, and giving
additional power to the courts in respect
to compelling evidence.
SAMUEL M. LANE, Esy., a former j
citizen of this plaee, died at Hunting
don, Pa., on the 2nd inst., in the Tf.th
year of his age. Air. Lane came to
this place about the year 1830 and en
gaged in the mercantile business, with
Mr. James Campliell and others. He
was quite successful as a businessman
In 1841 he was elected a member of the
Legislature for the county, his opponent
being, we believe, the Kev. Samuel
Stoaghton.- After leaving this county
he lived in Philadelphia for many years.
Be came trorn Huntingdon here, at
which place his death occurred While
here he wus actrveiu all the then enter
prises in the interest of the town, and
was regarded as a man of much ability
and intelligence.
SINATOB MITCHELL has a strong ar
ticle in the January number of the
Fforth American Review. His theme
is "Tribulation of the American dollar."
and he discusses the various currency
changes of the war and the period since.
Jf is remarks lead up to the question
what to do about the silver dollar; and
he insiate, of conrse, on a realization of
the risk which we incur by containing
the present rate of coinage in the ab
sence of an international agreement to
a bimetallic standard. He says:
"Whether il comes soott ur laie, it is
best to prepare for a reverse in our for
eign trade. We cannot expect the flow
of the precious metals to be constantly
towards us. It is likely to be outward
for the cunent fiscal year. In such an
eveat, the strength of our monetary
system will for the first time since the
resumption of specie payments be fully
tested When the stress of an adverse
balance ot -trade shall lie upon gold,
the draft of the whole volume of our
silver and paper currency will lie added
to it, if we are to maintain payments in
gold. We have 3een that our volmiio
of paper currency alone amounts to
*57f,,000,000. Add the silver, and we
find our gold subject to a domestic
draft of $1,114,000,000. Our gold coin
and bullion on the Ist of November
last amounted to $580,000,000.
Should the balance of trade turn and
continue largely apaiust us, in my
judgment this is pot A sufficient supply
to enable us to maintain trold pay
mentg."
NEARLY four and one-half million
letters and parcels were sent to the
-Dead Letter Office the past year for
want of proper address, a considerable
increase over the previous year.
THE Venango . Citizen and Inde
pendent Press, of Franklin, Venango
count v. have been consolidated and
will hereafter be published under the
head and title of the Citizen-Press,
with Mr. K. W. Smiley, of the old
Citizen, as editor in chief. We con
gratulate the new management, and
wish the new arrangement all manner
of success.
MR. W. N. RIDDLE, of Pittsburgh,
on New Year's Pay last, gave his third
annual dinner to the little boot-blacks
and news boys of that city, at a cost of
more than a thousand dollars. Such
humane acts deserve the name of hero,
and the kind and thoughtful citizen
has his reward in the hearts of those
poor boys. They appreciated it by
proposing Mr. Riddle for next Presi
dent.
WE notice that one or two of our ex
changes have fallen into error as to the
time our State Republican Conven
tion can be called. It is not, as they
suppose, to lie held less or later than
thirty days before the National Con
vention, but right the reverse. It can
not be held, under present rules, at an
earlier date or more than thirty days
from the National one. It may be held
10, 15, or 20 days before, but cannot
exceed thirty days. The object was
plain—to get the State Convention as
near to the National one as possible >
in order that its expression on a Presi
dential question might be as direct and
fresh from the people as possible—and
in order thus to prevent or break up
the practice of calling a State Conven
tion at a date so early as to fore-stall
the wishes of the party, as was the
case in this State four years ago, 1880,
when the State Convention was called
to meet on the 4ih of February—for a
purpose that we all remember.
State Convention.
We are pleased to see that the Re
publican State Committee has been £
called to meet on the :23d inst. As we
stated last week, the time it may fix
for holding the State Convention this r
year will have much to do with the v
Primaries in the Western counties of
the States. Our Primaries have gen- v
erally been held about the first of June. 1
But the National Convention, to nom- 1;
inate a President, has been called to ®
meet on June 3—and under the new
rules no State Convention, to send
delegates to the National one, can as- f
semble earlier than thirty days before *
the National one, But it, a State Con- ®
vention, may be held later than the 8
thirty days, and so if in this State its f
time is fixed within thirty days from j
June 3—say about the middle of May
—then the delegates to the State Con- *
vention can be elected, as they must be, f
at the time of the Primaries, the Pri- f
maries being advanced this year to suit i
both purposes—election of delegates to '
i State Convention and the nomination
of the county tickets. If this is not
done there probably will have to be two <
Primaries in every county of the West- i
crn part of the State. All the eandi- 1
dates in this county, so far as we have
heard, would he willing to have the
Primary this year in May, and the hope
is the State Convention will be fixed
this year at a date not earlier than, say
the middle of May. This being done
by the State Committee in its coroiug
meeting, all objects in State and county
political affairs this year, .nil be made
to move along smoothly and without
unnecessary trouble to the Itepnblican
voters in this or any of the Western
counties.
A Case for Pardon.
The ease of Mr. John Apple, v\ T bo
han been in the penitentiary for about
two years, is at present heinr? much
commented upon and has, in fact, been
almost from the day of his trial here.
He is a Herman, rather advanced in
age, and lived upon a piece of land near
Brownsdale, this county, then owned
by one Eli Conn, a former citi/en of
this county. Tie was regarded among
his neighbors as a quiet, indostriou*
and inoffensive man. But it seems he
had some difficulty with his family.
He had a daughter and she made oath
against him, prosecuted him and on her
own oath mainly had him convicted of
an unnatural crime, for which Le is
now suffering in the penitentiary. At
the time of the trial, and all along
since, he has most solemnly protested
his innocence of the charge, and is
lamenting his hard fate to all and upon
all-occasions. Ills case is now before
the State Pardon Board for hearing.
The application, we understand, is
based upon evidence taken, clearly
pointing to another than the father as
the author of the girl's shame and
crime. What all the evidence may
show, or indicate, we do not know, but
what we have to say. and what we be
lieve, is that this father is not the [iniltji
one. Public opiaion ingrowing stronger
every day that tho> old father is the
victim of a foul conspiracy between the
girl and another. Under these circum
stances the desire a ad hope for Apple's
pardon is very general ami very sincere-
The Null Case.

JAMES NUTT,
The Slayer of Nicholas Dukes
The murder of Capt. A. 0. Nutt, at
Union town, Pa., by Nicholas Dukes,
attracted much attention, for Mr. Nutt
was well known and highly respected
as a man of honor and influence in the
community. Ht idolized his daughter
Lizzie, and her reputation was far
dearer to him than the life which he
lost in his efforts to secure from Dukes
the reparation he desired. James Nutt
is the second child of f apt. Nntt, being
next in age to Lizzie, and will be twen
ty-one Years oi age next August, lie
was always reserved and somewhat
moody, preferring the labor of the farm
to books or study.
His habits were regular, and those
who know him well pronounce him a
young man of much determination At
the time of his father's death, his lack
of emotion was commented upon, and
his stolidity was attributed to cold
heartedness. Those who observed him
more closely, however, claimed that he
seemed more dazed than indifferent.
About the 1 Oth of June, he came home
in a very irritable mood and said to his
mother : "Mother, 1 can't stand this.
I met Dukes in the street to-day, and
he laughed in my face."
She feared from this time on, that the
worst would come, especially because
after repeated efforts, she had failed to
obtain a promise from him that he
would not take matters into his own
hand.
The shooting of Dukes was no doubt
premeditated, for young Nutt took his
place near the post office, and awaited
his coming.
Five shots from a forty-two calibre
revolver, were fired at Dukes, three of
which entered his side under the left
arm, and penetrated toward the heart.
The trial l»egin9 at Pittsburgh next
week, having been transferred from
Fayette county to Allegheny county
last December, owin:; to the fact that
a jury couid not then be obtained in
Fayette county for the trial of the case.
Young Nutt will be removed to Pitts
burgh on Saturday coming, accom
panied by his mother and friends.
Much sympathy is expressed for him,
and if public opinion indicates the re
sult there can be but little doubt of his
acquittal. We will give our readers as
full details ol the trial next week as
possible.
Such sympathy for Nutt is felt,
owing to the aggravating circumstances
which preceded the shooting, that large
sums have been forwarded for his de
fense, and he will, no doubt, meet with
as much clemency as the law will
allow.
A Religious Riot.
ST. JOHNS, NEWFOI'NDIANU. L>ec.
21. On Wednesday while the Orange
men of Harbor Grace were parading
they were fired into )»y a mob of armed
Roman Catholics and five were instant
ly killed and over twenty wounded,
five mortally. The trouble began on
Monday when notices were posted up
to the e fleet that on Wednesday, St.
Steven,a day, the Loyal Orangemen
would walk in procession The Roman
Cathoics openly threatened to obstruct
the procession and there was consider
able brawling.
On Wednesday the Orangemen met
at British Hall, arranged their program
and put on their uniforms, badges and
customary symbols and marched from
the hall to the Wesleyan church. Alter
the seryice they proceeded to Bear's
Cove, thence up Harvey street, and
when about to return home through
Coater street were attacked by a mob
with guns, hatchets und pickets.
When comfronted by the mob the Or
angemen halted, whereupon seven
sea'ing guns loaded with heavy shot
were discharged into their ranks.
Four men, named .lames Darmod, Cal
lahan and French fell to the ground
and expired almost instantly. Uarmod
aud Callahan, two Roman Catholics,
were accidentally killed by their own
1 party. The Orangemen „ fled and
showed oo fight.
Terrible excitement prevails. Pub
lic opinion runs high, and-a deadly fued
has been the result." Almost every
person io the city lifts kdkcii a sitl** in
the matter, and it bids fair to end in a
sanguinary battle between the parti
wans, Houses are barred ami stores
closed. Business is entirely suspended,
and the streets resemble a besieged
city in time of war. Heavily armpd
soldiers and foot and horse police pa
trol the city from one end to the other,
and the quarters provided for them are
perfect a/aenals. They are provided
with ball cartridge, and the result of
an encounter will be simply horrible.
The murdered Orangemen are to be
buried Sunday aud their brethren an
nonnce their intention to attend the
funerals in full regalld and well armed.
There is great danger of bloodshed.
ST. JOHN'S, I>eceml>er —The fun
eral of the murdered Orangemen was
held at Harbor Cracp to-day. ami
passed off without disturbance or blood
shed. Twelve hundred Orangemen in
full rejalia, with flags and banners,
attended in a body, There was a
great deal of disturbance yesterday be
tween the- parties, The Orangemen
attacked the Roman Catholic Bishop
on his way to visit one of the Catholics
who had been wounded the day before,
and endeavored to throw him over a
cliff into the sea. A priest who was
I with him defended him with a loaded
whip, and he managed to escape.

Heavy Snow Storm.
At this writing, Tuesday noon, we

which commenced last night and con
tinues unabated, snow blowing from j

Ohio Senator.
A contest of the most lively kind is
nov» going on among the [democrats in
the Ohio Legislature. A United
States Senator is to be elected in place
of Pendleton the present democratic
S-.na or from that State. He is a can
didate for re-election, and is opposed
bv Payne, of Cleveland, who has the
Standard Oil Company at his back as
sisting him—with money of course
Pendleton is by far the superior of the
two in ability, and if Payne is chosen
it will, the world over, be attributed to
the use of money, such as has been
witnessed in Pennsylvania in years
gone bv. The time should come soon
when rnited States Senators should
be elected by the people of their States.
Next to President it is the highest trust

Hidings' Gift to Soldiers' Orphans
llARRidBiRr., January ±—Repre
sentative llulings, Republican, of \e
nango county, has received his pay for
the extra session. Flis warrant called
for j1,9T0.7f>, but he claimed for him
self only SC:>O, and suggested that the
remainder of the money due him be
covered into the treasury, with the un
derstanding that the sum be set aside
for the benefit of the soldiers' orphan
schools. This request could not be
granted, and Representative Hulings
directed that the money be turned over
to Superintendent Higbee to be used in
the education and maintenance of
soldiers' orphans. Superintendent
Higbee gave a receipt for the money,
to the effect that the fund would be ap
plied to the payment of the school ex
penses of soldiers' orphans from Ve
nango county. Representative Hillings
declined to appropriate the full amount
of his warrant to his own use, because
of the many days he had been absent
from his legislative duties. Hulings
did not attend one-fourth of the sessions
of the House.
A Man Fined SSO for Exhibiting
a "Headless Chicken,"
A novel case has lieen brought to
the attention of the Police Court in
Washington by the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, ami
the trial ended Wednesday. On Mon
day last the chief of police issued a per
mit to Randolph Warwick to exhibit a
living headless chicken, but after keep
ing his show open a few hours he was
arrested by an agent of the above men
tioned scoioty. In the Police Court
the headless rooster was exhibited in
evidence apparently alive and well.
Its head had been partly chopped ofl,
leaving only the hase of the brain.
Warwick testified that he bought the
•chicken in Richmond, Va , about a
month ago for from a man who
said the chicken's head had been cut
off about twenty months before, lie
said that he feeds it four or Gve times
a dav with a spoon, and that he would
not take 81,000 for it. He notiGed the
court that if it was killed he would sue
the government for damages. A sur
geon called by the defendant testified
that he had made an examination of
the chicken, and finds there is only a
portion of the larger brain and the base
of the brain left, and apparently the
chicken is not suffering any pain, and
that it shows evidence of being well
cared for, and seems to be thriving.
The court thought that it was demoral
izing, and if this case was dismissed,
boys would try the experiment
day, and therefore gave judgment
against the defendant, fining him sf>o.

A Deserted City,
It is not often that an American
town is doomed to decimation, but
Virginia City, Nevada, affords one in
stance at least. Eight years ago \ ir
ginia City and Gold Hill, adjoining
each other and practically one town,
had 35,6 j0 population. It was the
largest community between Denver
and San Francisco. There were mer
chants doing business with a million
capital. There were private houses
that cost *IOO,OOO to build and
There wore stamp mills and mining
structures that cost sf>oo,ooo each.
There were three daily newspapers and
a hotel that cost i 300,000. It was a
teeming, busy and money-making pop
ulation, and among the people were a
score of men worth from $300,000 to
$00,000,000. Mackey and Fair both
lived there. There were three banks,
a gas company, a water company, a
theatre and a court house.
flight years have passed ami the
town is a wreck. The 35 000 people
have dwindled to f»,000. The banks
have retired from business. The mer
ehnnts have closed up and left; the
hotel is abandoned; the gas company
is bankrupt, and scores of costly resi
dences have either lieen taken to pieces
and moved away ar giveu over to bats.
Heal estate caunot be given away lor
taxes. Nothing can be sold that will
cost its worth to move nway. The
rich men have all gone. Those who
remain are the miners, their superin
tendents and the saloon men and gnm
blers. The latter are usually the first
to come to n mining town and the laet
to leave.
The cause of the decudencc, which
has swallowed up millions of capital
and wrecked the worldly ambition of
thousands ot persons, is the failure of
the Comstock mines to turn out addi
tional wealth.

the same independence and fearlessness that

will aim to be continually in the advance to
all that can add value to a newpaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
conciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. THK TIMF.S spends lavishly for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited aud condensed, in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise aud attractive shape, and
with it a large variety of cutertaining and in
structive reading. The best writers at home
