Republican County Ticket ForJmrj Ceauatssioaer. WILLIAM R. PATTERSON. __ 0 __ JrnoK SIMOKTOS, of Harrisburg has de cided that neither Dr. Waller or Prof. Sny der can hold the office of State Supd't, and until the Supreme Court settles the matter, Dr. Waller will discharge tho duties of the office. The Judge thinks Gov. Pattison bad a right to remove Waller, but is also of opinion that Snyder's rejection by the Senate bars him. This decision may fur ther delay the payment of the school war rants. Dr. Walter was appointed by Gov. Beaver on January 8 to succeed the late Dr. Higbee. The senate was not then in session, but after that body convened a few week later Gov. Beaver again appoint ed Dr. Waller, who was then confirmed and claims this appointment was lor a fall term of four years, but no commission was issued to him and Gov. Pattison appointed Dr. Snyder. The senate rejected him, and after the adjournment he was again ap pointed. Judge Simoton's decision is that the appointee named during the recess of tho senate could not legally hold longer than until the close of the next session ol the senate and therefore ousts Waller, and that Snyder is n*t eligible to appoint ment daring the recess because be was rejected by the senate. This leaves tho question in a queer state. Waller is ousted, but having duly qualified is super intendent in fact. Ha must also show that he is such by right, though meanwhile he will hold the office until his successor is appointed and qualifies. But this cannot be Snyder, and the only outcome seems to be appointment of a new man. The com plication haa raised an interesting question as to the instruction of section 8, article 4, concerning the power of the governor to appoint daring the recess of the senate. THB only rip-roaring fan we are having in polities at present is the fight between Jack Robinson of Chester county and John Dalzell of Pittsburg for the Presidency of the clab league. Sio him Jack, sic him John. IT is said that Quay has advised Senator Mylin not to be a candidate for Auditor General, this year. Money for the Schools. The State's accounting office has just iwaed a pamphlet containing a_ digest, of the Boyer revenue bill which contains several speeches madu by a few members in support of the bill. Mr. Boyer states that, starting July 1, with $3,000,000 in round numbers, the general fund in the treasury will be prepared to meet the public eehool appropriation of $5,000,000 payable June 1, 1892. This statement is made in refutation of the charge that the schools would suffer if the revenues were not so largo as antici pated. yea* says "it is probable, but not cer tain" that be will resign the Chairmanship of the .National Committee next Wednes day. EX-CAKDIDATB DIUMATII is in Oregon and, according to a Portland papor, is en gaged in preaehing— "When the Devil is sick" etc. SOMB villian tried to wreck an express train the other night. Ue placed ties across the track in two places and then slunk away in the darkness to await tho results of his crime. At this time of year the cars are fnll of people on their way to resorts. Whole families travel together father, mother and all the ohildren dreaming pleasant dreams of a respite from the dull monoto ny of life or of a holiday which will give them restored health and strength. A man may have a grudge against the railroad company, but he is a double dyed villian to wreak his vengeance on innocent tourists. If he thinks there are too many people in the world and is anxious to kill a few of them, he had better begin by step ping out himself and making room for de cent folk. If he has a private grievance, he fails to satisfy anything but the malice of a fiend by wrecking a train filled with sleeping passengers. TIIK publication of the report of the experts who examined Bardsloy's accounts created a sensation in Philadelphia, and the Evening Star of that place urges tho prosecution of Auditor General McCamant. Tho Press confesses to having paid a former clerk in the Auditor General's office named Graffin a commission on the State business brought to it, and attacks both McCamant and Bardsley for abusing the power in their hands. According to the report Bardsl-jy lost nearly a million by the failure of the Keystone bank, but over hall a million is not accounted for. A Plague of Orasshoppers. Portions of Cheyenne County, Wycui., arc covered by grasshoppers. For three weeks they have been hatching out, and myriads cover the prairie for miles just west of First View. A strip of laud ten miles wido and extending in a southeasterly direction across the entire connty is com pletely hidden from view by the insects. They meet with considerable difficulty in crossing the railroad, and consequently settle upon the track, causing the wheels of the engines to slip, so that it often requires two engines to pull the trains over these places. The extent of territory they cover is not known, but they are said to extend over all the land between First View and Limon Junction, and as far south as the Arkansas River. As yet they have dono no damage to crops or grass, being too young. By the time they are able to fly or damage crops they will be well out .of Colorado into Kansas. TUK great Post Tubular Car Co., which bought land near Bradford, Pa., bas col lapsed, and inventor Post and architect Brican are under arrests for embezzlement.

During a storm last week three cows were struck by lightning on the McC'lnre farm near McKeesport. Not long since Calvin A. MeLure, owner of the farm, w is struck dead by lightning at the same ,«>t. and shortly prior to that a horse met the Hme fate there. The particulars of the dealh of Emma Stone on the Galloway farm in Venango county are as follows. "Attached to thi corner of the house in wh'.ch she wis lying was a wire clothes line, and running at right angles with*it and about five feet away was a telephone hue, and the theory ia that the telephone line was struck first and that the fluid jumped to the clothes line; penetrating the wall in three ditler ent places. She gasped but a very few times after the fatal stroke, and although the other members of the family were in the various parts of the house attending t 1 family duties, not a single one suffered from the effects of the shock, nor were they at first aware that any fatal accident had befallen one of their household. So marks were found upon her body." The particulars of the death of Ex-Coni missioner Alexander of M ercer county are given f»y the ltispaUh as follow -: "Mr. Alexander lived oh his farm about f"ur miles east of Mercer, and on Tuesday wa engaged with his son Edward and a young man named Shilling, in cutting rye with a reaper, to which were hitched three horses. When the Btorni camo up th°y quickly loosened the horses from the reaper and hurried with them to the barn. I'pon ar riving at the barn Mr. Shilling entered first with one horse, followed closely by Ed., he also having a horse in charge, ar.d by Mr. Alexander with the other. When just inside the door Mr. Alexander attempt ed to loose the jockey stick from the bridle of the horse, and while in that act the death dealing electricity struck the barn, ran down the door and jumped to the horse - head, killing it mstantly, cutting the bridle from its head, and then entered Mr. Alexander's right hand, with which he ' held the bridle, into his side and down 1 his leg. Ed and his horse were knocked down by the shock, but not much injupred Mr. Shilling was a little in advance, and was only slightly affected. He first aided Ed. to rise and then went to Mr. Alexand er, supposing he wa3 dead, bat found him living and be shortly rallied and became conscious. The family had called neigh bors daring this time (the scene having been witnessed by Mrs. Alexander) who had now arrived and ho was carried to the house and a physician summoned. All that loving hands eould do failed to prolong life but about three quarters of an hour,and death claimed him as its victim before the doctor arrived. Daring his survival he had hemorrage, which indicated serious inter nal injuries. An examination by the phys ician showed a terrible internal lacerat ion of the right side, the ribs being torn loose at the back and the chest pressed in at the front as though struck by some heavy weight. As to tlie exact causeofthe death there is diversity of opinion. During the excitement the horse in charge Shilling broke loose and jumped out of the staple over the dead horse which lay in the door. He confidently asserts that this animal did not touch Mr. Alexander, but others are of the opinion that it -tepped upon his brcant and so seriously injured him. More than this cannot be known, and the question is simply, could he receive , such a shock from lightning and not be killed instantly? On the 7th, Michael Egan, a driller of Washington, Pa., had a wonderful expori ence during a storm. He \ta< engaged with Robert Ferguson, in hauling some tools to the Johnson well when it began to rain. They entered the derrick where Al Sybrant was drilling. Mr. Egan was stand ing by the bull wheel when the rig was struck lur ''chining. and the next moment he lay unconscious on the floor. His companion!; were both stunned and Mr. Egan seemed to be the only one who came in contact with the bolt. He says he had not the faintest idea what made him lie down, as he did not even see the flash of lightning, nor hear the thunder. There was every evidence about his person, however, to indicate that ho did not lay down volun tarily. The hair had been " burned off one arm and leg, and they were paralyzed for some hours. There was not a mark on his clothes, but in his pockets were some curi ous specimens of the phenomena produced by a stroke of lightning. A silver dollar in his pocket looked as if it had been tiled off around the edges, while a half dollar presented the same curious signs. Tho ends of his keys were fused and at the same time presented a hacked appcaronce His silver watch did not stop, but in the case are two small holes, partially drilled through, while the links of the chain were fused together. Altogether it was an ex perience few have gono through and lived to tell it. A.

KOHKKT HUDSON. Assignee, Evans City, BuUer Co., Pa. BYRON CLARK, A. M v M. 0. I Hrpistered anil L] ceased.) SPECIALIST in tlie Treatment of Chronic Diseases, eonlines his practice to such cases only as are so clearly and fully developed as to make a complete and positive diagnosis without questioning or allowing patients to make a statement of their condition. This method of examination is made in order to eliminate all elements of uncertaintv as to the nature of disease —a.s far as human skill and experience can do and inspire contidence where mistaken diagnosis has has led to unsuccessful if not injurious treatment. On this basis of positive diag nosis for treatment Dr. Clark's experience has become strictly unlimited by a thirty year's practice, which in extent, variety and successful results is equaled by few, and excelled by none. Patients, MALK or FEMALE, not cured by ordinary treatment or in doubt as to the nature of their dis ease, especially invited. Dr. Clark on his last visit waited on 80 patients in 2 daj-s at Lowry House, Hutler —nearly 100 in 4 days at Jones House, Clarion—6l in 2 days at East Brady—o3 in 2 days at American House, Brookville—7l in 2 days at Commercial House, Dußois—93 in2days at Hotel Windsor,Clearfield —27 in one day at Park House, Curwensville—33 in one day at Osceola—7l in 2 days at Kenevo—o7 in 2 days at Sallin House, Lock Haven—and over 100 in 2 days at Park Hotel, city of William sport. There we were not able to wait on all who called. 95 in 2 days at Reynolds House, Kittan ning—6s in 2 days at Filer House, Grove City, and proportionate numbers at each appointment according to time allowed at each place. These facts can be readily verified by the Hotel authorities and con firm Dr. Clark's success as a specialist. The Doctor will be at Kast Brady.
