Happy End of the "Baby Case."
In Court, on Monday afternoon
last, there vw a happy end of an un
happy caw, known as the "Harbison-
Monks baby case," in which the haft
band and father, Robert Harbison,
sought to take from his wife, who had
left him, an infant child. This was
resisted by the father, brothers and
friends of the mother, the Monks peo
ple. After a long contest in Court
the end finally came by the good sense
of the father, who appeared in Coart
and discontinued all proceedings.
On bis petition being presented to
that effect to the Court, Judge Hazen
ordered the sheriff to bring the moth
er aod child from jail, where they,
with her brothers Martin and Wil
liam Monks and Windle Hickey, had
been confined sine? Saturday last.
When the sheriff brought in the par
ties an order was made by the Court
discharging all of them. The only
condition required was that the moth
er should keep the child within the
county until it was seven years of age.
This she gave bptd to do, with her
uncle, Mr. Wesley Monks, as security.
This being done the mother and her
friends were heartily congratulated,
and were soon after on their way to
their homes in Middlesex tp.
We need not add that this commu
nity experienced a great relief at this
ending of the case. All through the
contest the sympathy and feeling
were strongly with the mother, to
whom all thought the child rightfully
and naturally belonged. And the
determined bravery and resolution
with which she clung to it, with all a
mother's affection, excited the admira
tion aod sympathy of all. And now
that the case has ended so well, all
fell like congratulating all the parties
concerned, and join ia the hope ex
pressed by the Court, that it may be
a long time before we may ever have
to witness a similar case within our
Courts.
Groat Fire at Oil City.
OIL CITY, Pa., Mar 13—Yester
day afternoon lightning struck a 20,
000-barrel tank belonging to the Key
stone Refining Company, located on
Oil creek, about a mile and a half
north of this city. The tank contain
ed about 15.000 barrels of oil, and at
10:30 this morning the petroleum
boiled over and ran into the creek and
down stream about three-quarters of
a mile. Fortunately a strong wind
forced the burning oil to the opposite
bank, thus saving the works of the
Penn Refining Company, Continental
Oil Company and tbe Union Refin
ing Company.
The overflow, however, ignited an
other tank containing 30,000 barrels.
Qreat fears are entertained for the
safety of the city when this tank boils
over. Every precaution has been ta
ken to avert tbe catastrophe, but the
wind is changing and blowing direct
ly toward tbe city, and should tbe
overflow be a large one, great loss of
property must ensue. All tbe availa
ble hose in the city, public aud priv
ate, has been pressed into service.
Crowds of people viewed the magnifi
cent spectacle all day.
At midnight the five was still burn
ing and the outcome was uncertain.
Should tbe big tank now blazing boil
over, which may occur between this
and morning, the town will be ia
danger, although the fire is about
two miles up ihe creek. All the
structures this utile of the scene are
being saturated with water, hose is
laid on all bridges and the tire depart
ments of Melville and Titusyille
have arranged to send assistance at a
moment's warning in caaa the possi
bility actually takes place. There
will be at least 41,090 barrels of oil
consumed and other damage occasion
ed, amounting in all to probably SIOO,
000 in case the fire goes no further.
TDK CKIBIS COMES.
OIL CITY, Pa., May 14—2:30 A. M
—At 1:30 this morning such citizens
as were sleeping were awakened by
a general alarm which told them that
a tank had burst its borders and start
ed down the creek. Tbe Western
New York & Pennsylvania railroad
bridge took fire and other property
along tbe creek began burning aud
tbe flaming oil floated on towards the
center of the town.
The great overflow, watched for
with so much terror, occurred at ex
actly 1:30. The tank vomited It*
flames aud contentyi and huge island*
of burning oil, some of them a hun
dred feet in diameter, floated down
tbe creek. The boon proved uselesn
and the fierce mass of fire swept on,
burning several dwellings, until it
reached the railroad bridge, two miles
below. The bridge is still burning,
as are aUo the large barrel-workx
close to it. Steam whistles are shriek
ing for help, and ou the bosom of tbe
creek are spots of fire floating silently
but surely down stream into tbe city.
The fire is now more than ever
threatening tbe town. There is little
sleep within the city limits. Hnnd'
reds are hurriedly making their way
to tbe scene of the fire. Mothers with
babies in their arms, young girls with
siiawls thrown over their heads,
frightened childrea and grave men are
silently watching tbe onward march
of tbe flames. Little is said but much
is feared. Streams-, aro now being
played upon tbe houses in streets
some distance from the fire.
Tbe tank again boiled over at 2:15
and more patches of flame are floating
down the stream Another alarm has
jnst been sounded. The refineries
thought to have been saved are again
in danger. Members of tbe firo de
partment are becoming exhausted.
Whistles are constnatly being sound
ed for assistance. The loss is said to
be about $250,000. but if tbs residence
portion goes it will be far greater.
3:15 A. M—Tbe fire isnow hoped to
be under control,but the danger is not
over yet. The railroad bridge has fall
en and is floating down tbe creek.
By 9 o'clock the fire WBB virtually
over, and the residene portion of tbe
town bad escaped. Tbe total loss
will be about sf>o,ooo. including dam
age to five buildings, the railroad
bridge and the barrel-works, besides
tbe oil. Tbe latter is valued at s4l,
000. The tottel insurance is $42,000

The Tariff Debate.
WASHINGTON, D. C , Mar 15—
Col. O. L. Jackson, of the Beaver
district, stirred up the Democrats in
the House to-night and kept them
constantly on their feet. So much of
his time was occupied in answering
questions that bis time was unani
mously extended. Mr. McMilien, ot
Tennessee, and Mr. Harbert, of Geor
gia, were the chief gentlemen who in
terrupted him. Mr. McMilien insist
ed that in his State they had more
than one industry and claimed that
they even had iron furnaces down
there.
"And your furnacemen are protec
tionists. are they not?" queried Col.
Jackson.
Mr. McMilien had to admit that
they were. Mr.Herbert couldn't agree
with some of Col. Jackson's views
of slavery, but he frankly admitted,
when questioned, that he never want
ed slavery abolished. Mr. Springer
chipped in once or twice, but was si
lenced.
Col. Jackson opened his speech by
reminding the people of the United
States that it was only because there
was a Democratic President that such
legislation as the Mills bill was pos
sible. "More than that," said he, if
the representatives from the old slave
States did not today absolutely con
trol the Democratic party and dictate
its policy this bill would not now be
under discussion on this floor. Take
from the Ways and Means Commit
tee the members who represent those
States and the bill would never have
been reported. Take from it their
support and the bill could not com
mand enough votes to order the yeas
and nays on its passage."
Col. Jackson showed that the Dem
ocratic party waß the seeming great
end and aim of the President, Cabi
net, and Congress. When the mana
gers of the party resolved to revise
the tariff in the interests of the cot
ton States alone the President was
notified, and forthwith every energy
of the Administration was bent to
accomplish this. That part of the
Confederate Constitution which pro
hibited protection is at once made a
plank in the Democratic platform.
So anxious is the President to carry
out these behests that he does not
permit the House to take charge of
business which the Constitution says
it must originate, but informs
the members that taxation
must not be reduced by lowering the
revenues received from internal taxes.
In speaking of wool, Col. Jackson
said the demand of tbe wool-growers
for tbe tariff of 1867 was just. The
Mill's bill is undiguised free trade for
tbe wool-growers, and serves notice
that sheep-raising must be abandon
ed in most of the United States, and
this means that after tbe sheep are
slaughtered the consumer will be for
ced to pay more for foreign wool than
be would here if protection bad ruled.
If the bill passes tbe glass worker
must take smaller wages or give up
the business, aod let the factories of
France and Belgium supply the
American market. Absolute free
trade is given to tin plate, and this
will admit, under various pretexts,
and the admission free of ail kinds of
iron plates and sheet iron This
means the closing of sheet-mills mak
ing iron.
Day and Night in Sweden.
The peculiarities of day and night
in Sweden strike the traveler very
forcibly, ofter being accustomed to
the temperate zones. In June the
sun goes down in Stockholm a little
before ten o'clock. There is a great
illumination all night, as the sun
passes round tbe earth toward tbe
north pole; and the refraction of its
rays is such that you can see to read
at midnight without an artificial
light. There is a mountain at the
head of Bothnia, where, on the 21st
of June, tbe sun does not appear to
go down at all. Tbe steamboat goes
up from Stockholm for tbe purpose of
conveying those who are curious to
witness the phenomenon. It
occur* only one night. The
sun reaches tbe horizon,
you can see the whole face of it, and
in five minutes more it begins to rise.
At the North Cape, latitude seventy
two degrees, the sun does not go
down for several weeks. In June it
would be about twenty-Gve degrees
above the horizon a£ midnight. In
tbe winter the sun disappears and is
not seeu for weeks, then it comes and
remains for ten or fifteen, after which
it descends, aud finally is not seen at
all, but makes a circle round the hea
vens. The Swedes are very indus
trious, aud labor is reckoned by tbe
hour, twelve hours being reckoned a
day's work. Birds and auimais take
their accustomed rest at tbe usual
bour, whether tbe suu goes down or
not.
License Law.
From Washington Pa. Observer]
Tbe opinion of the Supreme Court,
construing the Brook's lic.-nse law,
puts beyond all cavil two questions
which were never really iu doubt,
viz.: That the Courts of (Quarter Ses
sions have a practically uullmited
discretion, and that no person can de
mand a license as a matter of right.
As Judge Paxson says, "The power
of tbe (Quarter Sessions to use its
discretion in granting licenses has
been upheld time aad again," and it
is to be hoped that the pointed and
reiterated statement of this fact in
this opinion, will pat a stop to all
quibbling ou this question in the
future.
In the case wbich was before the
Court, no remonstrance had been fil
ed against the applicant and there
fore his counsel contended that he
was entitled, as a matter of right, to
a license upon complying with the
proviuions of the act of 1887. But
Judge Paxson says "be has not such
absolute right, nor has any other
man in tbe Commonwealth." In a
license court, the applicant is not de
manding justice; bo is petitioning to
be Invested with a privilege that
shall distinguish him from the mass
of his fellow citizens as a person of
such exceptional discretion and fideli
ty that be may vufely be trusted with
a business which is not to be com
mitted to ordinary bands.
This opinion also sustains our own
Court, both in its reasoning and in
the conclusions reached—not a sur
prising fact but still one that is very
gratifying.

General Notes.
—A strange matrimonial arrange
ment was agreed to between Mrs.
Tennessee Connor, ber husband, and
Eli Hill, near Beekville, Panola coun
ty, Texas, last week. Mrs Tennes
see has been the wife of Mr. Connor
about twelve years. A short time
ago she met Hill and became grea'ly
attached to him. Her infatuation
reached a climax when she proposed
to her husband to sign over to him
all her right and title in the lands
owned by them, for which be would
divide his household foods with her,
and would take Hill and go. The
proper legal papers were made out.
and theu she went off with her new
affinity.
—Speaking of that incident in Cas
tagnoli, Italy, the wife of the Mayor

—Several girls, while looking for
arbatns, bad the strange experience
of sliding down hill when the mer
cury registered 90 degrees at Terry
ville last week. The drift Is only 18
miles from Hartford, and it is 150
feet long and six feet deep.
—The Dartmouth faculty have de
cided that the students must drop
foot ball, base ball or general athletics
because of the excessive amount of
time and money required to conduct
them all.
—Jennie Gibson, a girl of
seventeen, living with her parents at
Arkwright, N, Y., has never seen the
world by daylight, though enabled by
lamp light to sew and read as clear as
anybody. Up to the age of four or
five she wan believed to be totally
blind. The parents noticed that after
the lamp was lighted she gave evi
dence of seeing, and gradually this
power of sight grew upon her until
the little one played with her dolls
and toys with artificial light as eager
ly as other children by daylight.
—Fifteen years ago a woman about
sixty years of age in Maine touched
her tongue with lye and burned a
small spot out on the upper side of
it. This afterwards became an ulcer,
and a year ago Boston surgeons were
forced to remove the entire tongue.
Much wonder is expressed as to huw
the womau can talk without her ton
gue, but she doe 3, and no one would
suspect the absence of that organ.
The vocal cords were, of course, un
affected and the larnyx not injured iu
the operation. These organs, which
are the real organs of speech, uot be
ing affected, it is not wonderful that
she can talk Except in the articula
tion of some of the letters she speaks
perfectly. Her general health is ex
cellent.
—The city of Pittsburg, has come
to the coDclasiou to abandon the ring
ing of the fire alarm bell in the day

ment} pays that "whenever an alarm
ia sounded it attracts crowds who in
terfere with the firemen, and that it
also attracts swarms of crooks."
—There are forty-two crucible

in the sum of S2OOO, to save any citi
zen of the State who should be de

representations in any manner. Any
agent refusing to comply as above
would be liable to fine and imprison

—The art of lace making is raised
to a dignity which shows no sigu of
diminishing, when flounces take 3
years to complete. Ooe of the at
tractions of one of the large dry
goods houses in Now York city is a

—Nearly 1200 miles of new street
railway track was laid iu tbu United
States and Canada iu 1887, according
to the Strer.t Railway Journal, and
over 1100 miles is projected for the
present year, at a cost of $9,738,000.
The substitution of electric and cable
plant for horse power brings up tbo
estimated cost of projected improve
ments in existing lines to $15,331,-
000.
—The uatioual pure food move
ment, which originated among the
grocers of New York and has extend
ed to the whole country, promises to
have an educating effect on dealers in
food products. The Co/i#M/ner«'
Journal believes that it will "create
in the public mind a realizing sense
of the importance of making the food
question u science." Such movements
as these are always of great value to
the people at large.
—Turoff, the most popular clown
io Russia, recently dropped the old
reliable ones about mothers-in-law,
old maids and boarding hvuse fare
long enough to work in a joke on the
Chief of Police. When last heard of
the clown was on his way to Siberia,
to take a course of calisthenics in the
salt mines there.
—The influence of the modern pas
senger elevator on rents in New
York is curiously illustrated in some
of the ton and twelve story apartment
houses uptowu. The facility which
they afford for reaching thu Hoars far
above the ground, puts all the apart
ments practically on a level so far as
the rents are concerned. Just as big
figu r«s are now asked for the seventh,
eight and ninth stories as are asked
for apartmeuts immediately off the
street. In fact, some people prefer to
get away above the noise aud bustle
of the neighboring thoroughfares, aud
some difficulty is experienced at
times in renting the apartments be
low.
A man calls on a stock raiser,
buys uoiue cattle from him; as small
a lot as possible; pays for them and
has farmer sign a receipt. lie then
leaves saying he will call or send for
Lis purchases in a few days. Time
goes by. No one calls for the cattle,
but after a while the farmer is notifi
ed that there is u note at a certain
bunk, signed by him which is over
due. That's the latest catch.
—The golden flowers of the dande
lion are shut up every uight. They
are folded up so closely iu their green
coverings that they look like buds
that have never been opened. Their
is one curious habit which the daude-
Jiou has. When the sun is very hot
it closes itself up to keep from wilting.
It is io this way sheltered iu its green
coveriog from the sun. It sometimes,
wb*u it is very hot, shuts itself up as
j early as 6 o'clock in the morning.
Bect-Koot Sugar Industry.
CIIICAUO, May 13—Glaus Spreck i
els, who is 60 years old, and has made j
himself a millionaire many times over, j
said last night that he liad only just
begun his life work. This is the es
tablishment in America of the beet
sugar industry on a basis that will
permanently benefit the agriculturist.
Incidentally it is his purpose to an
nihilate the sugar trust. To morrow
at Philadelphia be will meet the en
gineers and draughtsmen who are at
work on plans for his new refinery in
that city. With these additional
facilities, Mr. Spreckels said, he
woui.i soon be able to supply half of
all the Bugar consumed in the United
States. He was confident be could
make sugar cheaper than the trust.
The failure of beet-root sugar experi
ments in America he attributed to
lack of experience. The few skilled
workmen imported were not familiar
with all the steps of the process.
This is where Mr. Spreckels claims to
have the advantage. He trains bis
men personally for each department
and has made beet-root sugar a suc
cess in California. Equally good re
sults he declares can be obtained
throughout the East, and by affording
a ready market he is preparing to
prove that the farmer, who is extreme
ly fortunate if he gets $lO for an acre
wheat, may get SIOO for the same
acre if the crop is sugar beets, and at
the same time enrich not impoverish
the soil.

First Decision of Its Kind.
The Orphans' Court of Allegheny
county decided an important question
as to its jurisdiction iu partitiou
cases Mrs. Mary Koch died testate
in 1882, leaving as her devisees 1)
children, G girls and 3 boys, all of
whom are of age. The boys were to
receive S3OO each more than the
girls. H. L. King, Esq., as attorney
for the children, filed a petition in the
Orphans' Court for the partition of
the estate, under the act of Assembly
of April 10, 1840, relating to the jur
isdiction of the Orphans' Court in
partition.
The Court, after considering the
matter for a week, awarded a citation
on the heirs to show cause why said
partition should not be granted as
prayed for in the petition.
This is the first case of the kind
that was ever brought in any Or
phan's Court in this State, and deter

Get Thin Clothing that fits.
