Harrisburg Notes.
After a four days' recess the legislature
returned to work Monday, and as yet
there has been no definite move toward
fixing a time for final adjournment. It
may be said, too that no date will be fixed
until the bill to abolish the public build
ings commission of Philadelphia has been
finally acted upon. The senate resolution
to adjourn May 11 was referred to the
house committee on wags and means.
There it has remained and there it will re
main until the bill aforesaid has been
reached on final passage, for a majority of
that committee, under the leadership of
Chairman Boyer, favors the passage of
that bill. After the bill to abolish the
public buildings commission has passed or
has been deleated adjournment may be
brought about with an abruptness that will
be surprising to members who have legis
lation to look after and who have not been
posted.
About all of the important legislation
pending has been more or less involved
with the fate of the P. B. C. bill, as it is
called, its friends and its enemies having
formed combinations with the friends or en
emies of other measures on the log-rolling
motto of "I tickle you, you tickle me," but
after the central measure is disposed of
there will be no considerate regard tor any
other measures which are not in position
to receive speedy consideration.
Contrary to expectation Gov. Pattison
has approved the bill detaching Lawrence
from Butler county and making it a seper
ate judicial district.
Iu the senate Monday night, Dunlap of
Beaver introduced a bill to appropriate
$1,000,000 to aid in the construction, im
provement and maintenance of the public
roads, payable on warrants drawn by the
auditor general to the several county
treasurers in proportion to the number of
miles of public roads in their respective
counties.
Bannon of McKean introduced a bill to
confirm asseuients, liens, judgements and
other proceedings subject to municipal im
provements.
House bill was reported favorably to pro
hibit the employment of unnaturalized
persons in or about institutions recieving
state aid, and the bill to require unnatural
ized persons to pay a licensed tax passed
second reading.
A message from the Govertor announced
that he bad approved the bill making.Law
rence county a sepbrate judicial district.
Other messages announced bis disapproval
of the current reselution to authorize the
clerks of both houses to receive money or
postago to mail the Legislative Record,
and of concurrent resolutions providing for
the appointment of commissions to consid
er the advisability of the establishment ol
a state printing office and to inquire as to
how many persons of foreign birth are now
quartered on tbe state charitable and pen
al institutions.
• The legislature will not go to the World's
Fair. A resolution for tbe centenuial com
mittees of house and senate to make ar
rangements, the expense to be provided
for by an act of the legislature, wa« voted
down in the hituse to night, 43 for and 83
against, after a great deal of oratory for
tho record.
W. M. Carr was appointed Postmaster
of Philadelphia, last Wednesday, and the
appointment is due to Chairman Harrity.
A number of fourth-claHs postmastefs for
Pennsylvania were also appointed that
day. J. C. Bovard, who appoint* d
P. M. at Forestville, this county, vice Mrs
Brysoa, resigned, was tbe only Botler Co.
change.
1 ho bill repealing the Sunday !,iw of Al
legbcoy county was reported 'from com
mittee by Senator Lyon. It was at once
called up by Senator Flinn and passed fin
ally by a vote of 32 to 24. Lloyd opposed
and Senators Herring, Ross and Lyon sup
ported it,
The World'* Fair Opened,
The Electric Age was auspiciously
ushered into being in this last decade of
the nineteenth century. Monday, when
President Cleveland by the pressing of a
button started the mighty machinery and
the rushing waters and the revolving
wheels in the World's Columbian Exposi
tion.
No exhibit ot the Fair that is to attract
the thousands to that city for the next six
months can be more marvelous than the
magical effect which followed the solumn
opentng of the Fair at 12:0? Mondav. Of
the multitude of visitors —some estimate
the number as high as 200.0^0 —probably
not one fullv realised the full import of the
effect that was to come from the arrange
ment cleverly devised in the opening of
the Exposition. It was known in a vague
way that the President was to press a
golden key and that the electric communi
cation with the machinery was to start the
Fair, but no one realized how intricate was
this machinery, how infinite the ramifica
tion of that electric spark, until the great
fountains threw up their geysers 70 feet
into the air and the rumble and hum of
wheels in the Manufactures building, and
the clatter of machinery in all part s of that
area of a mile square or more told the
story of the final consummation of scien
tific thought.
The lifeless started into being on every
hand, draped statuary shed its veil and re
vealed to the world the artistic labors of
the past 18 months, and, in a moment, all
that had been apathy and inert and inact
ive through the long hours of the morning,
sprang into an animated existence and
thrilled the multitude and crowned the
triumph of the Exposition.
In previous expositions the pessibslities
of electricity have been limited to the mere
starting of the engines in Machinery Hall,
but in this it is made a thousaed servants
do its bidding, and from the great Corli s
engine and the mammoth fountains down
to the minutest acts where power and
touch were requisite, the magic of electric
ity did the duty of the hour.
The multitudes which thronged the
grounds Monday were greater in numbers
than had been anticipated considering the
inauspicious condition of the weather.
Probably 300,000 people were assembled
when at 11 o'clock the advace guard of the
cortege signalled the approach of President
Cleveland and the dignitaries of the day to
the World's Fair grounds.
After entering the grounds, the journey
to the Administration building was made
with all possible dispatch, the Presidential
•tarty not stopping to acknowledge any of
The popular overations extended to the
Chief Executive. Of course the cheering
was tremendous when President Cleveland
faced the great multitude assembled—the
largest audience ever faced by an Americ
an citizen. Following the President and
the Director General were the members of
the Presidential Catftet, under the escort
of the "World's Fair officials, the Duke de
Varagua and his family, members of the
Diplomatic Corps, members of Congress,
Senators and other prominent dignitaries,
who had seats on the grand stand The
2,000 Columbian guards who surrounded
the Administration building, made a futile
effort to keep back the crowd, but they
were swept forward by the resistless wave
and jammed against the railing until theY
themselves become an unrecognizable part
of that incoherent, struggling but good-na
tured and cheerine area of humanity.
At 11:30 to the minute the programme
opened with a blast from the orchestra,
which rendered the martial air ot the
Columbian march of John K. Paine. The
music lasted for 15 minutes, and at its con
clusion Director General Davis stepped to
the front of the platform, waved his hand
supplicatingly two or three timed to the
vast audience, and then announced in a
tone which was lost in the hum of voices
that the Rev. W. H. Milburn, the blind
chaplain of the United States Senate would
pronounce the invocation.
The overture of "Bienzi" by Wagner,
wafi next rendered by the orchestra and
then Director General Davis on behalf of
the Exposition delivered the opening ad
dress which was very appropriately word
ed and quite lengthy, and President Cleve
land responded as follows:
lam heie to join my fellow citizens in
the congratulations which befit this occa
sion. Surrounded by the stupenduous re
sults of American enterprise and activity,
and in view of magnificient evidences of
American skill and intelligence we need
not fear that these congratulations will be
exaggerated. We stand to-day in thepres-1
ence of the oldest nations of the world,
and point to the great achievements we
here exhibit, asking no allowaoee on the
score of youth. The onthusiasm with
which we contemplate onr work intensifies
the warmth of the greeting we extend to
those who have come from foreign lands
to illustrate with us the growth and prog
ress of human endeavor in the direction of
a higher civilization.
We who believe that popular education
and the stimulation of the best impulses of
our citizens lead the way to a realization
of the proud national destiay which our
faith promises, gladly welcome the foppor
tunity here afforded us to see the results
accomplished by efforts which have eeI J.
exerted longer than ours in the field of
man's improvement; in appreciative re
tarn we exhibit tho nnparalled advance
ment and wondyful accomplishments of a
young nation, and present the triumphs of
a vigorous, self-reliant and independent
Pe^e C have built these splendid edifices,
but we have also built the magDificient
fabno of a popular government, whose
grand proportions are seen throughout the
world. We have made and here gathered
together objects of use and beauty, the
products ol American skill and invention;
we have also made men who rule them
selves. It is an exalted mission in which
we and our guests from other lands are en
gaged as we co-operate in the inauguration
of an enterprise devoted to human en
lightenment; and in the undertaking we
here enter upon we exemplify, in the no
blest sense, the brotherhood of nations.
Let us hold fast to the meaning that un
derlies this ceremony, and let us not lqse
the impressiveness of this moment. As by
a touch the machinery that gives lite to
this vast exposition is now set in motion,
so at the same instant let our hopes and
inspirations awaken forces which in all
time to come shall influence the welfare,
the dignity and the freedom of mankind.
At the conclusion of his address the
President touched the electric button and
the World's Columbian Exposition of W93
was ushered into official existence. The
hugh f'ountians 300 feet away from the
grand stand threw a volnme of water TO
feet into the air and tbe roaring of the en
gines in Machinery Hall, a quarter of a
mile away, told the multitude that the
electric spark had done its duty.
As soon as the ceremonies attendant
upon the formal opening of the Exposition
were over, President Cleveland, Governor
Atgeld, Mayor Harrison, tho Duke De Ver
agua and other notables were conducted to
tho dining hall on the third floor of Ad
ministration building, where they were en
tertained at dinner by the World's Fair
officials. When the dinner was over the
party, with President Cleveland and Direc
tor General Davis iu tbe lead, was conduc
ted from the Administration building and
was driven around the grounds. At the
Manufactures building, which was tho first
jdace reached, the Presidential party al
igbted at tbe lAin entrance and walked
from one end of tbe monstrous edifice to
the other. From here they drove to the
north end of the grounds, among tbe state
buildings, and back along the main drive
past the Horticultural building to tbe
south end of tbe grounds. After having
thoroughly inspected the White City, Pres
ident Cleveland and his party ware driven
to Grand Crossing, where they took the
train for Washington.
The second day of the World's Colum
bian Exposition was a very busy one. The
reign of good weather, which kindly be
gun last night that the fuir might open
properly, continued, and within the past
twenty-four hours the great show has tak
en a gigantic stride toward completion.
The seas of mud in front of the grand
stand had entirely disappeared by noon,
through hard work of hundreds of men
with steam rollers. In all part< of the
grounds the roads showed marked improve
ment and tbe thousands of visitors could
travel over tbe vast grounds wltlj compar
ative safety. There were many visitors on
hand, too, as those Chicago residents who
remained at home yesterday, fearing n...
crush, came out to-day in force to see tnr
themselves the eraet condition of affair-
Wide-awake Pittsburgh people are lead
ing matters in the way of completing ex
hibits They are aboat all ready fur busi
ness on all sides. There are yet few visi
tors from Western Pennsylvania iu Cbica
gt». The dav was very quiet in the Penn
sylvania building. There were some in
quiries for the register, which lias not ar
rived, and tbe people in charge of the
house do not know when to export it.
"Old Liberty." as usual, canio iu for a
deal of homage from tho visitors, but the
Philadelphia policemen are t ikiug tntiv!, ol
this to themselves. The four big officers
who guard tbe bell are making themselves
obnoxious to tho wer-terners by their blust
ering way of doing business. The are, to
to .say the least, rude to visitors. They
complained of the bad water furnished by
Chicago, and said tbey would not drink it
at all It is declaied they have given up
the •ffort.
Last Friday was a great day at the Turk
ish village. At high noon, by permission
of the Sultan of Turkey, and for the first
time in a Christian country, a Mohamme
dan mosque was dedicated in true Moslem
style. And all the Turks from tar away
had on their gayest clothes and were on
hand. The street in Cairo sent up it mot
ley crowd, and there were Egyptians, Sou
danese, Abbysinians and negroes, and
bringing up the tail end ot the procession
which wj. headed by 10 Turkish -nldiers
in uniform* of red and gold, and included
1.200 nobles of tho Mystic Shrine, three
priests of Sedan, and a lot of turbaued
guard- on camels and Arabian horses Here
the donkey boys. These Utter wer- .pe
for killing. It is only when one see- one
of these imps that one understands with
Mark Twain that the Lord never seemed to
pay any attention to the fact that Moses
once killed an Egyptian and quietly buried
him in the sand/ The murdered man was
doubtless a progenitor of these same don
key boys.
A KILL now pending in the Legislature,
and which will probably pass bothHon>es,
provides that all municipal corporations
in the State, which have the power to
con-truct, purchase or maintain water
works for the sapplv of the public, should
be iuvested with the right of eminent do
main, so as to enable such municipalities
or public corparation.- to acquire either by
purchace or condemnation the works and
property of private water companies. In
mak ing such purchase or condemnation
the municipality may pay a price not ex
ceeding the cost of the tntire plant and
the maintenance of the property, with a
per centum per annum added thereto. If
the price of purchase is not agreed upon
by the parties in interest, then the mun
icipality shall pay whatever shall be
awarded as the value, to be ascertained by
petition to the Couit of Common Pleas of
the county in which the property is situ
ated. The Court is to appoint five view
ers who shall give reasonable notice, and
procede to hear ani deurtiiine 'he matter.
A majority of these viewer- .->ball make
report to the Conn >f the valuation of the
property to be taken, «s f :;nd by ti em.
Either party may within twenty .lays ap
peal from the award t<> the Court of the
county, which shall hear and determine
the matter, with the right of appeal to the
Supreme Court by either party for final
decision.
Buried in a Landslide,
Tons upon tons of the rock and clay
which forms the blnff, that has for two
years hung like a threateninz cloud over
that part of Second avenue, Pittsburg,
known as "Yellow Row" fell about 8
o'clock on Saturday night. The rear por
tion of a tenement house in the row was
crushed by the falling rock and clay. Sol
omon Kelly, colored, his wife and four
children were buried in tho wreckage
Fannie, a 7-year-old daughter, was dead
when found. She had been smothered
The wife and mother held in her arms a 0-
weeks-old baby. The mother, with her
husband and two children, had been pin
ned in by tho falling walls. The babe,
however, was not even scratched. It was
with great difficulty that the colored fam
ily was released from the ruins. Those
rescued were sent to the Homeopathic
Hospital, where they are improving rapid
ly. The house and a two story brick were
almost completely wrecked.
"When the landslide occurred there seem
ed to be a cyclone of flying rocks. The
whole bluff seemed to "tremble with the
force of the fall and the whole neighbor
hood was frightened. An alarm of fire
was promptly sounded. Police Inspector
McKelvey, with a squad of officers, prompt
ly responded with the firemen and all unit
ed in speedy efforts to relieve the distress
ed and to keep down the confusion that
for a time threatened a panic.
The wrecked house was occupied by the
Kelly family, Martin Radburn, his wife
and child, and Mrs. Peterson. Kelly is a
teamster employed by J. J. Yandergrift.
tte had just concluded his supper when
the accident occurred. The unfortunate
little girl was seated near the stove. The
other and more fortunate members of the
family were «eated under the staircase,
which saved their lives.
A squad of officers were kept on guard
at the ruins all day Saturday. There was
evident danger of more of tho bluff falling.
The oocnpants of the houses were not
alarmed, however, and they refused to
quit their homes. Building Inspector
brown examined the bluff and the wrecked
house next morning. He said that
the rain of Saturday made the place decid
edly dangerous. He advised the people
in the neighboring house to leave. They
refused to go without being ordered away
by the police. It is thought that there
may be other bodies under the rock and
I clay, as people were in the habit of con
gregating in the rear of the houses. How
ever, no reports have been made of missing
| persons.
AFTER having been united for thirty
years as a Judicial District, Lawrence Co.
was granted an adsolute divorce from
Cutler Co., this week. Gov. Pattison
having signed the bill making Lawrence
a seperate Judicial District, and Judge
Hazen will be transfered to Lawrence
county.

Surprise Party.
MR. EDITOR if you will allow me space in
your valttable paper, I will try to tell you
a little about a birthday surprise to the
honor of the venerable father, William
Scott, by his children on the.29tli ot April,
1893, which was his eiehty seventh birth
day. He lives with his youngest son W.
J. Scott, on the old homestead in Lancast
er twp., where be first settled in the early
days of this county, and where he is
cared for by his son and his estimable
lady with all the tenderness and attention
that can be bestowed on an aged parent.
His family was four sons and four daught
ers, six of whom are yet living—one son
died m the service while a member of Co.
E, 100 Regt., Pa. Vol.—and a daughter
who died young—The other six were all
present at this surprise, not having been
home atone time for some twenty years.
They foumd the old gentleman comforta
ble but very feeble and very much bowed
down with age, but still may enjoy a few
birthday visits yet. He has twenty-four
grand children living, several of ihem
scattered over the West, and twenty-six
great grand children living and several
dead.
The day was pleasant and we think was
enjoyed by all present, and especially the
dinner which is always enjoyed when
gotten up at a home gathering where
peace and brotherly love abounds.
After a good many disensions on family
history ana other topics of the day, we
left for our homes regreting that the day
was not much longer. A

"Bad Spells" with the
Heart
Dizzy, Faint, In Despair
Hood's Sarsapartlla Cured.
S "I have suffered very much during the past
few years from
Heart Trouble
Physicians said I might live a number of years,
■aighc dir any jr. X could usually tell when
the worst attacks were coming on by feeling a
sharp pain In the heart, then violent thumping,
shortness of breath, followed by a coldness com
ing all over me, then uizzts-Ess, FA.LNT.SE3B,
and then, unless I could Ue down at onea I
would fall wherever I was. I never dared to be
left alone for I had to hava help at onoe and
that applied with vigor. I could not do any
work, even to sweeping, and had to be careful
of the least excitement. I got very much di»
couraged at the outlook and thought
There Was No Hope
Of ever finding anything to help me. One day a
friend asked, ' Why don't you try Hood's Sarsar
parilla? I thought It over and decided to try It,
and I thank God for It too. Blnce I began tak
ing It, three years ago, I hava had but one 'bad
spell' and that was due to carelessness on my
part, and from that I quickly recovered. I can
not tell you how much better I feel and how
thankful I am. I feel &s If I would like to tell
every person In the world about it. I can and
do now do all my housework, even to w ashing."

their efforts the infant died.
There died in Redbank township. Arm
strong county, last week. John Schrec
ongost. who had reached the advanced age
of about 104 years. His simple habits and

The Lawrence county clock for the
Columbian Exposition is completed. The
time-piece contains 334 pieces of 20 differ
ent varieties, all of which are indigenous
to that section. The frame work was de
signed by Architect C. C. Thayer, and
constructed by Philo McCaslin, the finish
ishing being done at the New Castle Street
Car works. The works were designed at
the establishment of J C. Hanna. where it
was on exhibition that week. It is 10$
feet high, and 36x20 inches in width. Each
piece of wood was hand turned. Beneath
the works is a cabinet containing Lawrence
county minerals. As heretofore published;
after the Fair closes, the clock will be
placed in the Shenango Yalley Hospital of
this city. As a whole it is a very pretty
piece ef workmanship.
Jacob Leiter, of Tiiompsontown, Perry
county, has a wonderful curiosity. It is a
living hog without a cuticle, or hide. The
animal was being fattened lor pork when
he took sick, and in a few days the snin
came loose from the shoulder and dropped
off. The first Mr. Leiter knew of the hog
losing his skin was when he noticed the
animal eating it in the pen. The animal
is still living and seems to be improving in
health.
THE storm which destroyed the town of
Cisco, Tex.. Saturday night was one of pe
culiar violence. The community number
ed about two thousand, and not less than
250 buildings are reported in ruins, with
very heavy loss of life. The largest and
most substantial structures were demol
ished as completely as those of less stabili
ty and strength. The storm approached
the town from two directions, southwest
and northwest, and seamed to expend its
greatest fury over the ill fated town. Its
track showed a wide swath two miles west
and three miles east of Cisco and its work
was both swift and terrible. A large pro
portion of those buried in the ruins or
caught up in the vortex are said to be fa
tally injured. Hundreds of people were
left without food or shelter and appeals for
aid have been sett forth to the nearest
points and are being promptly responded
to. The usual phenomena which charac
terize tornadoes were present in this case.
An iron safe was lifted from a store-room
and hurled across the street with such vio
lence that it was forced through a brick
wall and buried itself in the cellar. In
contrast with this performance of the irate
storm king was the carrying of a 7-year-old
girl clear across the town and letting her
down so gently that she received no in
jury.

used according to directions, and if it does
not do what I claim for it, I will refund
the auiount paid and no charges will be
made for the treatment. The following
testimonials are the strongest proof of the
medicines power to cure:

menced to uso vour new cure for one ol
my horses that had the heaves very bad,
and continued to use the medicine for

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.
