Foung.
NOTWITHSTANDING the persistent efforts
made by the people of Lawrence county to
have Goveronor Pattison sign the bill di
viding Butler and Lawrence counties into
seperate jndicial districts, he lias vetoed it;
and unless both branches of the legislature
can re-pass tho bill by a two-thirds vote,
or pass a bill re-districting the whole stato
and which will be satisfactory to the Gov
emor, this judicial district will remain as
it is.
STEPHBN C. MCCANDLBSS, ESQ., was
appointed United States district attorney,
temporarily, for the western district of
Pennsylvania to fill tho vacancy caused by
the resignation of Hon. Walter Lyon.
A FULL-FLBDGED earthquake shook the
buildings of Lancaster, Pa., Wednesday
morning. As that was the secoud shock
within a week, the people are becoming
uneasy.
WHILE engaged in threshing a new
variety of clover, at Decatur, Mich., on
Saturday, the workmen near the machine
suddenly became unconscious, and for
several hours remained in a critical con
dition. The men had tho appearance of
being asphyxiated, and it is supposed that
poison was carried in the dust which aroso
when the machine commenced threshing.
IT is stated that the now postal money
orders will soon be ready for use, and the
system is pronounced such that there is
little or no complication, and at the same
time it is a good way to send uiouey. A
sheet calling for any amonnt from a cent
up to $3 has been prepared, and wLich on
payment of the amount to be sent, will be
torn off about the same as an express order.
There will be no writing upon it by the
postmaster, tha sender endorsing it as a
chock or draft. Tho government guarantees
its tranfyWt&tftm.
Harrisburg Notes.
On Friday Mr. Richmond offered a reso
lution providing that the members of the
house go in a body to the Pennsylvania
railroad depot at 1:45 next Wednesday
afternoon to participate in the local
ceremonies incident to receiving the old
Liberty bell on route for Chicago. The
resolution was passed without protest.
Mr. Boyer obtained a special order for
the bill requiring monthly returns from
county treasurers to the state treasury
after a struggle, Kipp of Pike waving his
hands and protesting.
Mr. Douthett also secured a special order
for his bill.
On Friday evening Uncle John Cessna,of
Bedford, was overcome with vertigo at his
hotel.
The Governor sent in two veto messages
Monday night, both referring to school
measures. The first disapproves of the
Neeb bill requiring instruction and prac
tice of physical culture in all schools in
cities of the first and second class, repeat
ing objections filed against a similar bill
two years ago. His excellency says:
•'A bill very similar in its features to the
present one was enacted by the general
assembly during the session oi IS9I, anil
met with my dissaproval for reasons stated
in my communication to the house of rep
resentatives under date of April IG. 18J1.
In that message I took occasion to say:
'■ 'This act seeks to impose upon the
school directors, beards of school control
or boards of education of the public schools
of all the cities of the commonwealth the
duty of providing for instruction in physic
al culture, including calisthenics to all
pupils in departments of all schools, to
punish any failure on the part of school
boards in this respect by withholding from
them their respective shares of the state
appropriation of school moneys. am not
informed of any demand or necessity for
imposing this restriction and penalty upon
the various school boards of cities, nor any
reason why city school districts and no
others should be subject to the operations
of this bill. There is more requirement at
the present for a amplication of the
modes of instruction in the public schools
of the commonwealth than for onerous ad
ditions thereto. The best results can be
attained by permitting the f'^ eßt , . e *" r
of the principle of local control which per
vades t h e school system of our common
wealth, and by allowing the people of the
various school districts to regulate their
own local affairs and to prescribe the
course of study which may seem best to
those whom they elect to contro. their
SC -The present bill is even more objec
tionable than that which met my disapprov
al, insomuch as it is special to cities ol the
first and second class, and therefore it is
intended to apply only t0 I
Pittsburg and Allegheny. AVhile I have
seen no reason to change my mind with re
card to the considerations which then
seemed to me to bo cogent against such
legislation I am constrained to hold that
no reasons exist for the imposition ot this
bill upon the cities of the first and second
class which might not be urged with equal
force in applying it to other cities of the
commonwealth. For the reasons wh.ch I
have quoted from my previous message
reinforced by the special character of this
legislation, I return it with my emphatic
'rhe other'hUl vetoed provided for the
expenses of school directors in attending
the triennial conventions to elect county
superintendents. The Governors objec
tions are: , ~ ...
'•lt has heretofore been the policy of the
commonwealth to not permit any com
pensation to be paid directly or indirectly
for person 3 serving in the office of schoo
director; it has always been assumed that
public spirited citizens, fit to fill this office
could be found to serve without compen
sation. The responsible duty of once in
three years attending a triennial conven
tion to elect county superintendent is like
ly to be performed quite as well without
compensation as with the pittance provid
ed for in this bill. I have no reason to be
lieve there is any public demand whatever
from any but a lew of the smaller counties
of the state for such legislation. In some
of these, it is reported to me, the practice
of candidates for county superintendent
paying the expenses of directors attending
the convention to vote for them has be
como an abuse; if so, the fault lies with the
communities in which such practices pre
vail. The existing laws against bnberr
on the part of candidates for public posi
tions, or of persons who elect them, are
ample to meet such abuses if rigidly en
forced. There is no reason to saddle upon
all the counties of the state the large ag
gregate of expense liable to result from
this bill becasue of these rare instances in
whiet the profligacy of candidates or the
impecuniosity of director has led to
Several special orders were obtained
that night, the most important being three
for the creation of independent or seperate
judicial districts, the object being to get
all these bills before the Governor at once.
He now has in his hands the Butler-Law
rence bill, making Lawrence a seperate
judicial district, and it is understood he
wants the others sent over before he acts
on that one.
His action is also important and neces
sary before the legislature proceeds to lin
al consideration of the judicial apportion
ment.
A Harrisburg correspondent says:
SenatorMorodith's congressional appor
tionment bill was finally passed in the
Senate. I have already reterred to this
bill. It is tho same as passed and vetoed
at the last session and leaves tho districts
throughout the Stato as they aro at pres
ent except in Philadelphia and Allegheny
counties, where an additional member is
added which makes the required thirty
members for tho State. Mr. Lawrence, of
Washington, has presenten a bill to the
House which makes several changes in tho
difloront districts. Under its arrange
ment the Twenty-fourth District would be
composed of the counties of Warren, Mc-
Kean, Elk. Venango, Forest and Jefferson;
Twenty-fifth, Clarion, Butler, Armstrong
and Indiana; Twenty-sixth, Erie, Craw
ford and Mercer; Twenty-seventh, Law
rence, Beaver, Greene and Washington.
Westmorland and Cambria would form the
Twenty-second. It is Bafe to say, how
ever, that either the Meredith bill will be
come a law or the State will remain under
the present apportionment.
The Republican primaries of Lawrence
Co., held last Saturday were quite lively
and resulted as follows: For Clerk of
Courts, Captian A. S. Love of New Castle;
for county treasurer, James W. Cunning
ham of Wayne twp; for county commis
sioners, Stewart Thompson of West Now
Castle, and R. M. Eccles of New Castle.
"The bill to make Lawrence county a
serarate judicial district, which passed
finally in both branches of the Legisla
ture at Harrisburg last Friday, is now in
the hands ol tho Governor. A strong pres
sure is being brought to bear on Governor
Pattison to have the bill signed. A day
or two after its final passage, the two Rep
resentatives from Butler county, the pres
ent other half of tho judicial district,
Messrs. Mates and Douthett, accompanied
by our representatives, Messrs. Grignby
ami Martin, called on Governor Pattison,
and that distinguishad gentleman listened
to arguments in favor of tho bills.
If Governor Pattison desires to make
the people of Lawrence county happy, he
will sign the bill and put us out of sus
ponce. —New Castle Courant.
The Republican county committee of
Erie Co. met Tuesday and fixed August 19
as the date for tho primaries. Earlj
primaries have not inured for tlfe benefit
of the Republicans of Erie county in re
cent ycar.l, as they have given the Demo
crats too much time to organize. Tho
offices to be filled aro prothonotary, regis
ter and recorder, cleric of courts and coun
ty commissioners.

The great Naval Review.
The war ships of all nations and the
three imitated ships of Columbus that were
assembled at Hampton Roads, sailed from
there Monday, and reached New York on
Tuesday.
Wednesday they steamed up the bay and
anchored in the Hudson in two lines di
rectly opposite the city, extending from
30th Street on the south to 90th street on
the north, a distance of three miles. This
covered the major portion of the beautiful
Riverside Park, which adorns the edge of
the river and reaches lroui 72J str; -t to
120 th street. On the New Jersey or west
side of the river aro the high cliffs known
as the Palisades. Fine views of the ma
neuvers were obtained.
Wednesday morning also an interesting
ceremony took place pertaining to the in
augeration of the statute of John Ericsson,
which is to be placed in the beautiful Bat
tery Park, at the extreme southern point
of the city, where the waters of the Hud
son and East rivers meet and flow souther
ly into the Bay of New York.
Ericsson was, in a certain sense, the
father of ironclad war ships. In connec
tion with the otatute inaugcration there
was a grand parade on Broadway.
To day,(Thursday) a grand naval re
view will take place. The President of
the t'nited States and many distinguished
members of the government, foreign am
basadors, and prominent visitors will take
part ia the affair. Among them will be
Don Chrisobal Colon be la Cerda, from
Spain, who is a lenial descendant of the
Great Admirals.
The President and party,amid the thund
ering of great gnns, will embark on the
war ship Dolphin, and move up the river,
between the two lin-s ol' war ships. Each
vessel, as the Dolphin passes, will lire a
saluto of twer.tr-' Qe gc:is. After passing
through the great fl-ifi. tho Dolphin will
come to an anchor, and the President will
hold a receptii'. t«>r the r.. .:::ianders of
the various vess-1-. aft*?r vbich, the Pres
ident will disemMrk; aail at this moment
each of the great ships will deliver another
thnnderihg salute of twentv-<-ne gnns.
The festivities of the .Uy will close with
a grand ball at the Madison Square Gar
dens, where fifteen thousand people may
be easily entertained.
To-morrow, (Friday) Broadway will be
the seeue of further festivities, takiDg the
form of a grnnd parade of soldiers and
sailors, to which many of the war ships
will contribute quotas of men. The line
of march is to be from the beautiful Italian
statute of Columbus, to 59th street, the en
trance to Central Park, down Broadway to
the City Hall, a distance of five miles,
where the governor, the mayor and the
civil authorities will receive and entertain
the honored guests.
This will be the greatest naval demon
stration ever witnessed in the new world
and will form a fitting prelude to the open
ing ceremonies of the World's Columbian
Exposition, which takes place at Chicago
on May Ist.

MUTATO NORNIKE.
A BILL was introduced in the Senate
by unanimous consent, authorizing the
Governor to appoint nine Commissioners
to examine into and make report upon the
cau.es of the pollution of rivers, streams
or creeks forming sources of water supply
of the larger cities of the Commonwealth
andjappropriating $25,000 therofor. The
pollution of the sources of water snpply is
an evil calling for immediate remedy, but
it doesn't need any expert commission of
nine men, nor an outlay of $25,000, to as
certain the causes of tho pollution. Any
wide-awake and sensible man with good
eyesight and a reliable nose, could exam
iDe and report on any stream in a lew
days.—Franklin Xeics.
Seven Killed.
A frightful accident occurred at 6o'clock
Tuesday evening on tho Bear Rocks road,
a branch line extending to the Baltimore
it Ohio tracks at Somerset in Cambria
couuty. A freight train loaded with stono
broke loose on a heavy grade near Ways
station and descended the hill with fright
ful velocity. It finally collided with other
freight cars and seven people were killed
and four others so seriously injured they
are not expected to live.
John E. Pile, with his wife and daugh
ter who were riding on the engine wero in
stantly killed, as was also Manager Mur
dock of the quarry.
Engineer Neff and his little son Russell
were badly injured and will likely die.
There were twenty-six laborers on the
train. Four of them were killed, and the
same number were injured so badly that
they will probably die.
The Bear Rocks railroad is about two
miles in length and runs from Ways sta
tion on the Somerset <fc Cambria road to
the immense quarries of the Somerset
Stone Company. The road is very steep
from one end to tho other, having a grade
of over 150 feet to tho mile. Tho ill-fated
freight car has been lying on the siding
while being loaded with the heavy output
of the stone quarry. It wai loadod Tues

Some State Exhibits.
The farmers are beginning to pet in
their work in the Agriculture building at
the World's Fair. All the States and
many of the foreign countries are getting
their pavilions in order, and the products
of the soil are seen on every side, and in
every form. Naturally the ornamenta
tions in the American departments run to
the various cereals, and that section looks
like a combination of hay-racks, granary
and corn-crib. The lowa and Illinois pa
villions are completely covered with corn,
placed in pretty designs of many colors,
and present a truly rural appearance.
Just between the pavilions of these two
great corn-growing Commonwealths
stands that of Pennsylvania. Just now it
looks as though a husking bee was being
held their, for giant cornstalks, heavy
with the golden ears, are piled around in
prolusion, anil the marble face of William
Penn peeps through them, lighted with a
smile that would seem to indicate he had
just found a red ear, and was prepared to
levy osculatory tribute trom the prettiest
girl in the crowd The pavilion consists
of a series of arches, covered with moss,
and adorned with emblematic designs
made of different seeds and grains. Ihe
tops are surmounted with glass jars in
the shape of keystones filled with grain.
Over the entrance is the State's coat-of
arms, made of this seed mosaic, and one
corner is crowned with a plow and sheaf
of wheat and the other with a cultivator
and a bale of hay. A rising and a setting
sun, made of golden wheat ears, are dis
played at either side, and in the center of
the*pavilion arises a circular temple in
which hangs a wheaten Liberty bell. The
tall shocks of corn are placed around the
outside, and aro the envy of all the other
States.
"Vy," said the stout Philadelphia Ger
man who has charge of the work, "all
dese peoples from dose States vot boast
of deir pig corn come here und vant to
peg some of ours."
"Did you let them have any ?"
"Veil, I yoost dink I see myself gif dem
anv!"
The pavilion will be fully ready for the
opening, and will be a feature of the
show highly gratifying to Pennsylvania
agriculturists.
Steam was turned on the great Allis
engine in Machinery Hall for the first time
Tuesday morning. On Friday evening_ it
will turn the electric current into the 50.-
000 incandescent lights throughout the
several buildings.
In the Pennsylvania section of the
educational department in the liberal arts
annex, the Pittsburg and Allegheny school
exhibits are now being placed. Mrs. M.
E. Wagoner has charge of the Pittsburg
display, while Prof. Morrow is running the
Allegheny display. Both cities are mak
ing a complete and interesting exhibition
of school work.
Executive Commissioner Farquhar ar
rived to-day and is in general charge of
the Pennsylvania exhibits. He will have
his hands full to get them in anything like
proper shape by Monday.
The Liberty Bell.
A national hero clothed in flesh and
blood could not be tendered higher honors
nor receive such warm expressions of
parotic devotion than were showered up
on Old Liberty Bell at Philadelphia Mon
day afternoon when the first move was
made on her journey to Chicago. Ex
tensive preparations had been made by
Councils'joint special committee for trans
porting the nation's relic to the Fair, and
is was escorted to the station with all the
pump and ceremony of a hero.
The crowd that gathered about the
Pennsylvania railroad station to receive
the Liberty bell was unprecedented in the
history of the State Capital. Long before
is arrived thousands of people had con
gregated, and when the locomotive draw
ing the antiquated relic steamed iuto the
depot, the enthusiasm was unbounded.
The Harrisburg military companies which
include tho City Grays and the Governor's
Troop, were among the organizations
""Which paid homage to the bell. The
Harrisburg Fire Department, Harrisburg
Board of Trade, thousands of school chil
dren and nearly all the members of the
Legislature also participated in the demon
stration. Governor Pattison, amid deafen
ing cheering, addressed the great throng.
When the Liberty bell train arrived and
departed a salute of 13 guns was fired.
It passed through Pittsburg Wednesday.

Can't wake the Baby,
A child of John Russell, of Peabody,
Mass., has been sleeping for six days and
shows no Bignn of waiting The child w s
perfectly healthy previous to this attack,
and the first thing that attracted the atten
tion of her father was that she did not
wake up. She lies on the bed day after
day in tho aamo position, suffering no
pain, but with every appearance of natur
al sleep. Her temperature has been iv lit
tle higher than normal at times, but when
last taken was only normal.
The child is insensible tr»pain, and the
doctors say her finger conld be cut off
without her fueling it. Xourishment is
given her. and she swallows the food which
is put into her mouth. Tho cause of the
long sleep is thought by the attending
physicians to be a low form of meningitis,
but the outcome is wholly problematical,
although the child may live. She is four
years old.

A Father's Gratitude
Impeis Him to Tell How His
Son Was Saved
White Swelling and Scrofula Per
fectly Cured.
Son of John I. McSlur-ray
Of Havens wood, W. Va
"I do not write this at the request of
any one, but because I feel it a duty to hu
manity, so that others afflicted as my boy
was may know where to find relief.
" When my son was seven years old he
began to complain of soreness in his right
leg. A white swelling soon appeared just
below the knee joint, and extended from
the knee to the ankle. At the same time
he was taken with an attack of fever,
which was broken tip, but the leg became
very badly swollen, causing hlin great
suffering, and the muscles so contracted
that his leg was drawn up at right angles,
lie was unable to walk, could not even
bear to be handled, and I thought him a
Confirmed Cripple.
"After a time we had the swelling
lanced, midway between the knee and the
ankle, and it would discharge over a pint
of pus at times. I decided to take him to
Cincinnati to have the leg operated upon,
expecting he would lose it. But he had
become so poor and weak that I thought I
would let him gather some strength, if
possible, and bought a bottle of Hood'#
Sarsaparilla and began giving it to him.
This medicine soon woke up his appetite,
Hood's s Cures
and he ate more heartily than for a long
time. At this time the sore was discharg
ing freely, and soon pieces of bone began
to come out. I have in my office one pie'ea
of bone 3 1-4 inches long by nearly half an
Inch broad, which came out of the sore.
We continued giving him Hood's Sarsa
parilla. The discharge from tho sore de
creased, the swelling went down, the leg
straightened out, and soon he had perfect
use of his leg. lie now runs everywhere,
as lively as any boy, and apparently
As Well as Ever.
It was about six months from the tima
that we began giving him Hood's Sarsa
parilla till we considered him perfectly
cured." JOHN L. MCMUBBAY, Notary

used according to directions, and if it does
not do what I claim for it, I will refund
the amount paid and no charges will be

A. J. MCCANDLESS,
Bntler, Pa., 1893.
MR. A. J. MCCAXDLESS:
On the 2nd day of April, 1892, I com
menced to use your new cure for one of
my horses that had the heaves very bad,
and continued to use the medicine for
about forty days and the horse did not
show any signs of a retuin of them. It is
now about a year since I quit giving the
medicine and the horse has never showed
any signs of heaves, and I feel satisfied
that he is properly cured.
W. C. CRISWBLL,

I have used your Heave Cure and found
it will do tho work if used according to di
rections. Yours truly,
