DAVIS died at his home in New Orleans, last Thursday nighi. He •was born in Todd Co. Ky. June 3, 1808. Thk X. Y. World polled Congress on the World's Fair question as follows; For Chi oago 07, New York 48, Washington 36, St. Louis 22. non-committal 158. THK Pennsylvania Kailroad now has maids on its limited trains to attend to the wants of children and women, especially the latter when traveling alone. An Ohio paper credits John H. Thomas, one of the millionaire candidates for the Ohio Senatorship, with the declaration that If I could have the vote necessary not pay the 25 cents." This means one of two things—either that he would have a friend pay the 25 cents for him, or else he is doitig some big lying about a small amount of money. A n explosion of an ammonia pipe in a big Newark. Xew Jersey, brewery last Monday afternoon let loose a flood of beer that flowed like a river. Twelve thousand barrels flooded the streets, and the smell of ammonia was so strong that the people could not enter the ruined building until two hours ofter the explosion. A FTER all that has been done in a scientific way to prevent the spread of fire, tho only things in Boston which seem to have been „of any value were the iron shutters on the Lawrence building, which kept the flames out until the firemen could concentrate at it and stop the spread of the flames. Just plain old iron shutters! PRESIDENT HARRISON has appointed Judge David J. Brewer of Kansas, to fill the vacancy in the United States Supreme Court. Judge Brewer is a nephew of Jus tice Field; he has been Judge of the Cir cuit that includes the states of Minnesota, lowa. Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas; and is said to have tho natural ability, legal learning md judicial experience to fit him for a place on the Supreme Bench. C. E. SILCOTT. cashier for Sergeaut-at- Arms Lcedom, of the House of Represen tatives of Congress, decamped to Canada 1a.4 week, taking nearly SIOO,OOO of the Sergeant-at-Arms' money with him. The Sergeant- trusted his cashier, as they weie both from the same little town in Ohio, and his dishonesty will ruin him financial ly. Mr. Leedom, who is a democrat, was About turning his office over to his success or. vhen tho embezzlement was discover ed. THE Philadelphia City Item of recent date, is of the opinion that "Hon. Chas. W. Stone will bo the next Governor of Pennsylvania." "The people (it says) will boss this job." That "tho people should boss the job' would seem the one thing necessary in re gard to tho next Republican nomination for Governor, —Although tho Republican majority in the State is largo yet it wou'd be unsafe to force an unpopular candidate on the party. The best and most worth, can didate should be our next nominee for Governor. SPEAKER Reed surprised the House at Washington last week, by naming five important committees, as follows: Ways and Means—McKinley, Chairman; Burrows. Bayne, Dingley, McKonna, Payne, Lafollette, Gear, Carlisle, Mills, McMillan, Breckinridge, of Arkansas aud Flowers. On Appropriation!— Cannon, Chairman; Butterworth, McConias.

Cromstock. Crisp, O'Ferrall, Onth waite, Maish, Moore, of Texas; and Wike, of Illinois. On Mileage—Lind, Townsend, of Penn sylvania; Wallace, of Massachusetts; Clun ie. Pennington. This action has generally been held over tho holidays. TIIK death of Jefferson Davis lias called out a pretty general expression of sorrow in the South. To this there could be no exception taken, if confined within proper limits. The Northern people do not care what opinion the Southern people hold of Davis us a man, but when they justify his acts and his '"lost cause" then it becomes as offensive to the North as it is injurious to the beat interests of the South. As an example ol the excess of sympa thy in the South for Davis, the proclama tion of Governor of North Carolina leads all the others we have yet seen in its extrava gant boldness. The following is his proclamation: WHKRK.VS, Aluiightv God, by His provi dence. hath removed from this world the trusted leader of tlio people of the State of North Carolina in the four darkest years of its history, and Whereas, Our entire people regard his memory with teelings of the highest re spect. esteem and affection, now for the purpose of manifesting their appreciation of his exalted chaarcter and distinguished services, I enjoin upon the people of this State, laying aside all business, to assem ble themselves at their respective places of worship at the time to be appointed for the funeral bv Mrs. Davis, and to join in serv ices suitable to the sad occasion. Another Johnstown Horror. Joil XBTOWK, Pa., Dec. 11.—As tlio per formance of the Uncle Tom's Cabin troupe was drawing to an end in the Main Street Opera house last night, the fire-bell was rung, causing a fnntic scramble for thi exit. There were 50u or 600 men. women and children in the hall, and to Gain the street it was necessary to pa.s down a narrow walled up staircase and through a very narrow doo. Thv. ex cited people from the street rushed into the door from the outside, and in the jam many people were crushed. It was neces sary to turn the hose on the crowd at the door before the rescuers could get at the deail and wounded. When the crowd was driven away the following persons were found dead npon tho staii Miss CLAK \ i;t r:\<. Mrs. NESTOR, GEORGE HORNER, CHARLES FIANT, JOHN CARR, Mrs. FISHER, JOHN MILLER. A. WEISS. jol ,v v MAN i; i•. ! , r;;» .* 'ill I IS AAO 1 UL. AH, i, unknown youiail. The Nitro-Glycerine Horror. On Tuesday morning of this week James 0. Wood and William Madill drove out to the store-house of This Bntler Torpedo Co.. located on the Matthew Brown farm, about a mile south of Butler, to get a 60-qnart shot for the B. Forst Oil Co., at Myoma, a 10-quart shot for the McCalmont Oil Co., and a 6-quart shot for the Munhall well. . They reached the magazine, which is lo cated at the foot of a small bank of earth. | about 9 o'clock, and had carried almost all the supply they needed from the magazine to the wagon, which stood in the field about fifty feet distant, when they dis covered that they had forgotten some weights, and sent a boy named Hutchison back to Bntler for them with a buggy. Then they continued their work until the explosion—an explosion that meant one of 1 those horrors peculiar to the oil country occurred. When the neighbors arrived at the scene, no trace of the two men could be seen. They had apparently disappeared from the face'of the earth. Of the spring wagon, in which part of the stuff had been loaded, a part of one iron axle-tree was lying near, and that alone. One of the horses was cut to pieces and the other was lying dead, as though struck by lightning A pan-shaped hole, about 8 feet wide and 4 feet (I6ep, marked the spot where the wagon stood, and a smaller hole between it and the magazine indicated that one can standing by itself had exploded there. The neighbors and the people ot Butler who went to the scene, immediately began to search for the remains of the two men. The right shoulder and right arm ot a human being, excepting tnefingers, in one piece, was found about 100 yards to the southeast,' and this was identified as being gturt. of Mr. Jwd bf a small of red er right shoulder was found about 100 yards due South from the hole, which of course belonged to Mr. Madill. An entire scalp was found, which was identified as belong ing to Wood. It was taken ofi as cleanly as though done with a razor Some small pieces of Madill's scalp were also found. AH the other parts of the two men—the heads, arms, bodies and legs were in atoms, and which pile to put them in when found was mere guesswork. I ndertaker Koessing took out two pine boxes, and what was thought to belong to belong to each man was placed in the separate boxes. It was a sight to make anyone shudder. What caused tho explosion will never be known. One of tho men may have dropped one can upon another, or the horses may have backed. Men who handle nitro eivcerine often drop a can without an ex plosion following, but if the can should strike a stone, and particularly if a sniear ing of the stuff was on the outside of the can, an explosion would likely follow. When the stuff is loaded in a spring wagon each can is wrapped in a blanket, and the driver is not ovei particular as to how he remarkable feature of this accident or horror, or whatever you may call it, is that while the explosion of this mtro glycerine—6o to 80 quarts—wrecked the magazine, tore the roof off of it, and drop ped the two-inch plank that composed its ceiling down upon cans containing 300 quarts of the stuff with such force as to in dent the cans and kn«ck them over, the stuff in the magazine did not explode. THK DEAD. Mr. Wood came to this town with his family, a wife and two children, some month* ago, and was living in the Schultz house on S. Washington St. He had lot lowed the oil country for fifteen years, was born in Cauada, and had no relatives liv ing. He was a partner of Mr. O. M. Russe 1 in the torpedo business, and Mr. Russell speaks of him in the highest terms. His wife, who is said to bo verj- much of a lady, was bom in MeConnellsville, Oneida Co., >\ Y., and has a half-brother living there. The other two members of the family are a little boy of five years and a baby girl ot six months. * Mr. Madill was a single man and was a native of Ontario, Canada. i«e came to Butler about two years ago, and formerly boarded at the Willard House, but since the 23d of July last has boarded at the Yogeley House. Mr. Russell also speaks highly of him as being au honest and truth ful man. Nothing is known here of his relatives. He told his friends here that lie had not been home for ten years, but in tended spending the coming Christmas there. NOTES. A gold ring, suppo \ . i. rs •;! 3to 3f . man'. j Closed Monday at I.OIJ, Tuesday at 103;;, I Wednesday at NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. The first Farmers Institute of .nango , county, will convene in the Court House at Franklin, on Tuesday, January H, , under the auspices of the State Board o , Agriculture, as the State appropriates #IOO ' for agricultural meetings of this nature. Essavs will be read by several farmers ot the county, and some of the leading agri culturalists and stock breeders of the stat j will take part in the discussions. Greene countv, in the southwestern cor . ner of the State has been the scene of a remarkable financial era.-h lately. Sever- , al of its citizens who were considered wealthv and substantial failed and made assignments, and quite a number of-others are ruined from having placed their names upon the paper of those who went under. The cause of the crash is as follows: A few vears ago John R. Rush, oi the East End, Pittsburg. Cashier Lantz and John Dowlin, of Waj nesburg, invested in a cattle ranch in "Wyoming. They formed a stock company and sold a large amount of shares to other parties. The capital invested was principally borrowed and Greene county was drained of some $•>00 000, having been taken out by mem bers of the company. Wherever money could be borrowed it was done. As a re sult money became very scarce, and two years ago farmers were compelled to mort gage their farms to life insurance compan ies and outside parties to raise needed cash. . . , . The men who failed were estimated to be worth half a million, and the Prothono tarv of the county recorded 231 judgments in four days. Joe Lawrence, the aeronaut who was eaten by sharks at Honolulu, a few days a (TO, was a native of Hookstown, Beaver county Pa. His balloon was carried over the sea bv an upper current; he had to drop into the water, and was devoured by the sharks before a boat could reach him. The Monongahela House, Pittsburg, had a narrow escape from complete destruction last Thursday noon. A fire originating in iMfeY. 1 i n e**et ev atorsk aft t^the~tm roof and was spread by it oyer the entire tipper story. The guests were promptly notified anil all got out safely. The build ing was then flooded with water, and the loss is put at $60,000. The Monongahela House was first built sixty years ago; it was destroyed by the great fire of 1845 and afterwards rebuilt; it is a five story building occupying an entire block and is valued at hall a million. In Wheeling. West Virginia, some loaf ers in a barber shop, poured alcohol over a sleeping negro; and then set his clothes on lire, and the man was roasted alive. It was a grim joke. At Beaver, Friday, two men named Nel son and Frazier were sentenced to 3 years and 9 months each. At Pittsburg, Saturday, W. 11. Smith was sentenced to be hanged for the mur der of liis wife; and Jas. L. Orr was sen tenced to four years and ten months in the penitentiary for criminal assault. The Right Rev. Jno. Toigg. Catholic Bishop of Pittsburg, died at Altoona, last Saturday A Mahoning county (0.) man shot 190 squirrels in the past- six months, while his wife took in 125 washings during the same time. In boring for oil or gas near W ads wort h, Medina county, Ohio, the prospectors last week, at a depth of 2500 feet struck a bed of pure rock salt, through which the drill has penetrated over one hundred feet. As there are no salt manufactories in North ern Ohio this strike may be more valuable than oil or gas. The large iron tank brought down by the Hood from Johnstown and which laud ed in a field below Bolivar Junction, has been taken back. It was used as an oil tank bv the Cambria Iron Company and when it started on its trip of 23 miles down the river it contained 7000 gillons of crude oil. The last check for the Johnstown suffer ers has been mailed by Secretary Keener. The last distribution "amounted to $1,600, 000. The Secretary says more money has been paid out to Johnstown than the value of the property lost by the flood. Wm. G. Schneider, an employe at the Independent Keiinery. at Oil City, was accidentia killed -while hunting near Rynd Farm, last Thursday. Several companions were with him. They started a rabbit, which ran under a derrick. Schneider and a young man named Huffman got on the floor of the derrick, ready to shoot as the rabbit came out. Edward Carter, anoth er companion, stooped to look under the derrick llis gun was cocked and pointed toward the men on the floor, a few feet above him. The hammer came in contact with a pump-rod. and the gun was dis charged. The whple toad struck Schneid er in the face, causing instant death. Tbe unfortunate man was about twenty-seven years old, and leaves a wife and one child. Alfred Andrews, who is supposed to have murdered Aliss Clju'a Price at Kar thaus, Centre county, last Wednesday, while attempting to commit an outrage upon her, was captured at Brisbiu lar>t Monday, by Captain Clark, of the Coal and Iron police. There is t-aid to be little doubt of Andrew's guilt. He is an English man twenty-five years old, and something of a dandy, being contemptuously ttyh'.i "Prince Alfred" by his more sensible com panions. Christmas Goods for Everybody.
