THE only public institution for the care
of feeble minded children in this State, at
present, is the one at Media, near Phila
delphia.
The late Legislature appropriated SSOO
- for the building of another, to be lo
cated in the western part of the State, and
to have at least five hundred acres of land
and the necessary railroad facilities. The
term "Western Pennsylvania" in common
parlance includes the majority of the north
ern counties of the state, or forty-three
counties in all. The centre of population
of this vast district probablv lies to the
north and east of Pittsburg, and as
Butler can present as many natural ad-1
vantages as any other town, better railroad
facilities than the majority, and has no j
hospital of any kind within its limits, the
efforts new being made by some of our j
citizens to secure its location here should
be seconded by all, and should receive the
favorable consideration of the Commission.
THE remarkable 1000-mile race from
Chadron,lfeb. to Chicago was won by Ber
ry on his pony called Poison. Berry rode
into "Buffalo Bills" show In Chicago at
9:25 a.m. Tuesday, having rode the 1,040
miles in 13 days and 16 hours.
GOT. PATTISOS vetoed the Marshall bill
repealing the act to permit the consolida
tion of pipe lines.
The governor also vetoed "an act to en
able city, county, township, ward, school
and borough tax collectors to collect taxes,
for the payment of which they have be
come personally liable without having col
lected the same but by expiration of the
authority of their respective -warrants, land
to extend the time lor the collection of the
same for a period of one year from the
passage of this act." He says:
"The effect of this bill is to enable sloth
ful and negligent tax collectors who have
failed to collect taxes within the period of
their authority to extend the lawful time
for the collection of the same for the per
iod of one year from the passage of this
act, and, as it would happen in some cases
several years beyond the time when their
authority expired under previous laws
The laws in operation when allout standing
tax duplicates were put in the hands ofthe
various tax collectors were liberal in the
time within which they authorized the col
lection of these taxes by summary process.
"Tax collectors accepted their trusts
with a full knowledge of their responsibil
ity and they, and they alone, are at fault
if persons liable for taxes have escaped
their payment. The law looks with disfa
vor Hpon negligence and laches in public
officials and legislation intended to put a
premium on such negligence would be cal
culated to demoralize the public service.
Moreover, it w«uld impose new liabilities
on persons who, for years, have been ex
empt from them. Such legislation is both
pernicious and offensive to a proper sense
of justice."
O* Monday last Gov. Altgeld of Illinois
pardoned Schwab, Fielden and Xeebe the
three convicted anarchists who were re
prieved from the gallows, giving as his
principal reason that Judge Gary showed
prejudice In trying the case. But if that
that was the case the men who were hung
were murdered; and the case was fully r*
viewed in the Supieme Court.
SPKAKIKO on the causes of the financial
■tringency Mayor Brock of the bureau of
statistics tayi:—
"For one or two years there have been
serious financial troubles in all the coun
tries of the globe except in North America
In the Argentine Republic and Aiutrali.
there have been great failure* and bank
ruptcy and in all tbe colonies of Great
Britain there is stagnation in trade. Con
sequently there has been a very remarka
ble falling off in the export trade of Great
Britain to these and other countries. This
decrease in the export trade of Great Brit
ain was in 1892, $180,000,000 more (ban in
1890. This does not include tbe average
ariual increase in her export trade, which
has been about $75,000,000. This unpre
cedented decrease in exports, mostly
manufactured, was left at home in tho
hands of tbe manufacturers.
They were in great financial distress, as
they bad their obligations to meet and
they were compelled to eecure a market
lor these products. There was but one
m-jl et left to them, which was the United
States, as we were the only prosperous
people on tho globe. Stagnation in basi
ness and financial troubles existed nearly
everywhere else. These soods have been
thrust upon tbe American market at small
margins, or none at all, in order to realize
upo I them. Consequently, within the
past live months the imports have exceed
ed the exports about *96,000,000, and
these balances have had to be met,together
with other .alances of interest, etc., by
gold and by our exports. This, it occured
to me, is the common-sense explanation of
tho exports of gold."
Tut;* far, Michigan is the only State to
prescribe the Keeley or "jag" cure for
persons arrested for inebriety. The last
Legislature enacted a law to the effect
that a drunkard may have his choice be
tween suffering the ordinary penalty ofthe
law or taking a course of treatment at a
cure institution. The experiment has not
been in operation long enough to afford !
data as to practical results.
I* the last House of Representatives the
Democrats had about 150 majority. They
could easily have passed a bill for the re
peal of the Sherman law. They did not
do so; but the record shows that on March
24, 1892, 130 out of 211 Democratic Rep
resentatives voted for tbe Bland Ftee Sil
ver Coinage Bill; and that, on July 13, 117
out of 211 Democratic Representatives
Toted for tho Stewart Free Silver Coinage
Bill. On July 1, 30 out of 40 Democratic
Senators bad pnt themselves on record as
favoring the Stewart bill. This effectually
dispowes of the silly pretense of certain
Democratic organs that tho Domocratic
party is anxious to repeal the Sherman act
because of its silver purchase features. If
tho Democracy has its way, tho Country
will either have free silver coinage or it
will have wild cat currency, which is even
worse. This fact, taken in conjunction
with the demand for the abolition of pro
tection contained in the Chicago platform,
is ample to account for present conditions.

Great Naval Disaster.
The harbor of Tripoli, on the coast of the
Mediterranean was the scene of a terrible
- affair on Friday afternoon of last week,
r While the English Mediterranean squad
ron were maneuvering,one armored vessel,
the Camperdown, rammed another, the
r Victoria; and the tremenduous mass of
. iron went to the bottom of the harbor with
" four hundred men.
The crew of the Victoria tried to stop
the leak made by the ram of the Camper
down, and also to close her bulkheads, but
while at their work the top-heavy vessel
turned over and they were caught in a trap
from which there was no escape.
A model of the great vessel now at the
World's Fair has attracted tbe attention of
thousands since the disaster.
Rear Admiral Albert H. Markham, of
the Trafalgar, the flagship of the Rear Ad
miral in the Mediterranean, telegraphed to
the Admiralty from Tripoli, Syria, as fol
lows:
I regret to report that while maneuver
ing off Tripoli this afternoon the Victoria
and Camperdown collided. The Victoria
sank in fifteen minutes in eighteen fathom*
of water. She lies bottom uppermost.
The Camperdown's ram struck forward of
the turret on the starboard side. Twenty
one officers were drowned. Two hundred
and fifty-five men were saved. The injury
to the Camperdown has not yet been fully
ascertained, but it is serious and will ne
cessitate her going on dock for repairs. I
propose to send the survivors to Malta.
The Victoria was a twin screw battle
ship of abont 10,470 tons and 14,000 horse
power. mounting 15 guns. She had on
board 611 officers and men and 10" mar
ines.
DETAILS OP THB DISASTBR.
There was a smashing of wood and iron
plates, and the ram and eight feet of the
bow of the Camperdown crashed twenty
feet into the bowels of the Victoria. The
Camperdown was halted by the heavy ar
mor of the Victoria, and as her screws
were reversed she at once began to back
away.
As all the other vessels wero moving to
get into double line behind the two leaders,
they were bearing down upon the entan
gled ships, and a oatastraphe involving all
the ironclads was imminent. Only the
coolness and prompt action of the other
commanders prevented a general disaster.
The Victoria's bow was now pointed full
toward the shore. It seems that Admiral
'Tyron did not realize the extent of the
damage to the Victoria. As no accident
of exactly this kind has happened before
he could not know what the effect of the
hole in the compartment was to be.
He no doubt thought that as only one
compartment was damaged the others
would keep his ship afloat, so when the
Camperdown and the other ships signaled
offers of boats he replied that he did not
need them.
The Victoria began to forge straight lor
the shore under full steam. It is one of
thfc rules of the British navy that if a ship
is in danger of sinking and shore is not far
away she must be got into shallow water,
so that if she goes down she may be raised
again, so Admiral Tyron was making for
the shore and was widening the distance
between the Victoria and other ships.
When the Cainperdown's ram struck the
Victoria, Admiral Tyron, the navigating
officer, two signal officers, and the men
at the wheel were all upon the bridge,
either in full view or in the chart-house.
Most of tho crew was on the forward deck,
lounging about, trving to keep cool under
the blazing snn of the clear calry day.
With the crash they rushed into the bat
tery and as far aft as possible, bnt when
the two vessels separated all returned to
their places.
1 Discipline was perfect. The admiral
and officers remained steadfast upon the
, bridge, setting an example. So good was
the discipline that within liye minutes af
-1 ter the blow a diving suit had been brought
on deck and a diver was getting into it to
obey the order to go below ana find oat
the extent of the damage.
The nntangling and getting under full
headway had taken some little time.
About ten minutes after the blow the Vic
toria, having got something like two miles
nearer shore from the scene of the collision
all at once leaned away over to starboard
and with a great roll and plunge buried
her bow beneath the calm surface of the
sea. It was almost instantaneous.
There was only a chance for a few wild
cries and the Victoria was almost half sub
merged bow foremost, with her swiftly re
volving screws whirling clear of the water
and high in the "air.
Those on deck wero plunged immedia
tely into the water.
The men forward and below had no time
to rush to the deck, but found themselves
groping for doors of rooms filled with wa
ter and compressed air. There was a lit
tle more time for those in the officer's quar
ters. They heard the shouts and warning
cries and rushed to the almost perpendicu
lar deck.
The huge hull was drawing in the water
as it went down and several hundred men
suddenly hurled into the water, fully
, dressed, had to battle agaiast tho increas
ing suction. A moment more and a new
peril, more horrible, descended upon them.
The great engine deep in the heart of the
hull and inclosed in water-tifjjbt compart
menta was still throbbing at full speed and
the great steel flanges of the twin screws
were whirling around up in the air. As
the vessel sank these screws came nearer
to the water and descended into the midst
of straggling human beings.
The vessel sank slowly and when the
screws were low enough to begin to whirl
in the water again the auction had increas
ed until there was a deepening vortex like
a maelstrom.
At the bottom of this maelstrom the
screws were revolving like circular knives.
The poor creatures battled in vain against
the suction. They were drawn down aud
thrown against the swift blades.
Then came a scene which made the offi
cers on the decks of the warships of the
fleet turn away, sick with horror. Screams
and shrieks arose, and in the white foaui
appeared reddened arms and legs and
wrenched and torn bodies. Headless
trunks were tossed out of the vortex to
linger a moment on the sarfaee and sink
out of sight. All within reach of that vor
tex lost their presence of mind. Men who
knew how to swim ceased swimming and
fought with the waters. Men clutched
each other in frenzy and struck each other
off. The deep cone of whirling waters
with the swift knives chopping human
bodies at the bottom of it, was a horror to
daunt the bravest.
One man who escaped days that he saw
in this great vortex at least fifty of his fel
lows fighting witn each other and with in
evitable death. In a moment or so the
knives disappeared and the vortex began
to close up.
The ship was beneath the surface just as
the whirl was shallowed almost to the sur
face. Then there were a muffled sound of
thunder, the waters wero tossed up aud a
steam burst upon them.
Again the shrieks and screams burst
from the swimmers. The boilers had ex
ploded, the sea had rushed into the fur
naces and tho swimmers were beating
waves of scalding water.
Thus in less than ten minutes death in
three awful forms attacked the officers and
crews of the Victoria—death by drowning,
death by the knife-like screws and death
by scalding water.
With the first underplunge of the Vic
toria all tho boats were called away from
all the other ships aud came straining over
the calm sea to save the stragglers.
These boats were soon picking up those
fortunate ones who had got out of the
reach of tho terrible vortex. So long as
the vortox was there the boats dared not
venture near, but they did lift from tho
scalding wi.ter several wretched sailors
who were horribly burned. It-is thought
that more than half of those drowned got
out of the ship, but were caught in the
vortex or scalded to death by the boiling
water.
AdmiralJTyron stuck on the bridge and
refused to liave it. Just before the Vic
toria made her underplunge ho saw what
was about to happen and issued an order
for each man to save himself, but the or
der never got beyond the bridge, for ruin
descended straightway.
The diver whom he had ordered below
to look into the damage was still on deck
and dressed for his descent except bis hel
met. Ho would have been dragged to the
bottom by his heavy lead soles had it not
been for a seaman who stopped to cut him
loose from his heavy clothes. The diver
was saved, but the man who out him free
was drowned.
There were many acts of heroism, self
torgetfuluess and daring. The peril of
those iu the water was increased by the
I fact that the sea thereabouts is infested
f with sharks.
It is the duty of the marines when a col
' lision occurs to immediately go below and
t close all the water tight compartments.
When the Camperdown struck the Victoria
the Victoria's marine* went below for their
duty, and as a result out of 120 marines on
tho Victoria !>9 were lost.

World's Fair Notes.
f Extracts from a letter from Chicago]
Many people, it seems to me, make a
mistake in jttempting to -ee the Fair in a
harry. The exhibits are. fortunately, so
arranged as to enable the visitor to select
what is of most interest to him. The ma
chinist will of coarse want to give special
attention to Machinery Hall, the fanner to
the Agricultural building..adies to the Wo
man's building, and lovers of the beautiful
to the Art Palace, while every one will
find much that is worth seeing ia the Lib
eral Arts building and so on.
But I notice that a large number of people
try to get over as much ground as possible
the first day or two of their stay, and the
result is that they are completely tired
out, and believing that they have seen the
mast interesting things in each building,
become listless, and either continue to
•wander about in an aimless manner or de
vote much of their time and money to the
attractions along the Midway Plaisance or
within the city proper. It strikes me that
this class of persons get the least possible
benefit from the Fair and are likely to be
the ones who will return home and say,
"Oh, yes; the Fair is very nice, but so
tiresome." A better plan is to devote an
entire day, or at least half a day. to some
one building in which the exhibits are
most interesting to you. This way will
prevent your being so wearied, and you
will gain some knowledge that will stay
with you "after the fair is over.."
The attendance at the Fair thus far has
not keen large. The reason for this is not
hard to find. Visitors to the Fair thus far
have been largely people who live in Chi
cago and the neighboring towns. The
railroads have made n<> inducements in the
war of material reductions in fares until
within the past week, and people in mod
erate circumstances living at some distance
from Chicago have been unable to come.
1 am somewhat disappointed at the tard
iness of the railway companies in coming
to the rescue of the Fair. I use the word
"rescue" advisedly, for unless some plan
were devised whereby large crowds of peo
ple would be induced to come, the finan
cial failure of the Columbian Exposition
would be simply stupendous. The rail
road companies have all made provision
for an extensive traffic this season, and
have expended enormous sums in increas
ing their carrying capacities. To recoup
themselves they must induce people to
travel, and there is but one thing that will
do that, namely—cheap tares. Several
eastern roads have announced, however,
that fares will be reduced before the end
of the present month, and that the ball
will be set rolling at the rate of one fare
for the round trip. After that the del
age.
The most striking feature of the Fair
that I have noticed'on my present visit is
the illumination of the buildings that sur
round the Grand Court. It was my good
fortune to be at the grounds during the
pyrotechnic displav in honor of the Prin
cess Eulalia. 'While the fireworks were
nothing extraordinary, the picture present
ed to my view as I stood at the foot of the
Grand Court, looking Westward, was like
a scene from fairyland. Thousands upon
thousands of mellow lights bordered the
enormous structures on either side and
covered the dome of the Administration
building, while the gondolas glided silent
ly about in the Grand Basin to the music
of the playing fountains and the big brass
bands. I doubt if a more beautiful sight
could be conceived than the Grand Court
on illumination night.
I shall not endeavor to describe the Fair
in this article. I am sure everyone will
come who can, and a day of seeing is
worth a thousand pages of description.
Hut it might not be out of place to offer a
few suggestions to those who have not al
ready visited Chicago.
Don't bring a trunk, if yon can possibly
get along without it- Put what baggage
you need in a grip sack and carry it in
your hand. Then you will know where it
is.
Give a wide berth to smooth-tongued
strangers who offer assistance or advice.
If you want information seek it from a po
liceman or at the hotel office.
Don't be surprised if you have to put up
with inconveniences and annoyances both
withcut and within the Fair grounds.
With the enormous crowds that will vi.-it
Chicago this season it will be simply im
possible to steer clear of unpleasant exper
iences. Remember the sign in the concert
hall way out West, "Don't shoot the or
ganist; he is doing the best he can "
A word as to the restaurauts within the
grounds. Much complaint has been made
and justly, against the extortionate prices
charged lor meals at these places. When
a man of ordinary means picks iyi the bill
of fare and reads, "Consomme, (0 cents,"
he is likely to percipitately flee before in
vestigating what the solids cost. How
ever there are places where substantial
luncheons can bo had inside the Fair at ,
reasonable prices, and without any desire
to advertise any of these, let me mention
those located at convenient intervals <
along the outer aisles in the Liberal Arts
building where sandwiches, pie, dough
nuts, coffee, etc., are served at ten cents
for each article.
To such as can make it convenient to
come to the Fair this month let me say
that you could not choose a more favorable
time. The weather is fine, the city is not
crowded, hotel accommodations are reas
onable, and the Fair itself is "a joy for
ever. . .
There are three illuminations each week,
namely, every Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday evenings. On the alternate
nights you can, if you choose, visit the
theatres, all of which offer special attrac
tions.
Altogether, I do not know of so inviting
a town as Chicago. The inhabitants hold
out their hands in welcome, and they ma}'
make you hold up your hands when you
get here. Still, come to the Fair.
A <;KBAT deal of sympathy is expressed
for JaoobJKromer.tbe young man of Scott
datc, who was arrested and charged with
burglary and murder along with Kyan,
Spaythe and Wyckoff,but whose innocence
is now fully established by Spaythe's con
fession. It is not at all likely that Kromer
could have been convicted even if tfpaytlie
bad not confessed, as it would have been
proven by numerous witnesses that he was
at home on the night the murder was com
mitted. It will be a lesson, however, that
wo hope the young man will profit by and
that is, not to cultivate the acquaintance
of strangers of wayward habits. A man is
generally judged by the company he keeps,
and the truth of this is proven in this in
stance, where an innocent man was arrest
ed charged with the highest crime known
to our courts on account of being acquaint
ed and associating with the real culprits
previous to its occurrence. As it is we
are glad of Kromer's acquittal and hope
that he and his estimable young wife may
live a life free from like occurrences in the
uture.—Kittanuing I'resn.

The Wyckoff Trial.
On Thursday of last week the sensation
al features of the day before, when Spay
the made his confession were surpassed by
the confessions of both Khine and Spaythe.
Both prisoners went on the stand and made
fall confessions, and Rhine's story was as
follows: .
"I am 20 years old; my home is in Og
densbnrg, >'. Y., and I've known Wyckoff
a 7 ear - , ,
Wyckoff, who had been a harmless look
ing object of shamed despair, braced up
when Khine began. and his manifest anger
and resentiment seemed to inspire him
with a notion that life was worth living for
the sake of heartily hating the witness, if
for nothing else. Rhine exchanged a look
or two with the malevolent looking doctor
and continued:
"When I met Wyckoff at Mike Frey 8
saloon in Pittsburg he proposed that wo rob
the bank at Leechourg, and asked me to
come np and look the place over. Gallagh
er was at the conference. We planned to
'hold np' Hill and make him open the safe
at the muzzle of our revolvers. Wyckofl
said to us: 'Put your gun to his head and
he'll fall into your arms.' After the poker
game at Wyckoff" s he and I walked up the
street and split the money we'd won from
the barber, Kerr. Wyckoff met us in
burp on the morning of February 21. The
night of the job, when we started for the
bank, Wyckoff particularly asked us if we
were all armed. Sullivan was too drunk
to do anything on such a job and we left
him at Wyckoff 8 house."
After detailing their movements until
the alarm was raised at the bank, Rhine
went on: "Before I started I heard the
shooting and saw Shaffer fall against the
constable, Coller. I can't swear positively
as to who shot Shaffer, but it was not
Spaythe nor myself. What shooting was
done on our side was done by Gallagher.
I jumped into a hallway, raced to the
street and got a clean start on the road.
I ran about ten miles down a towpath and
up along a railroad. Yes, this is my hat;
the one I wore. I threw the revolver away
while traversing the towpath."
Spaythe's evidence was about the same
as the day before.
WyckofTs father, an aged physician of
Buffalo, N. Y., testified to the educating
his son for a physician, and his wife testi
fied to their marriage at Meadville, and to
his being at home the evening of the burg
lary and murder.
Some other witnesses were examined
and the defense closed; after which Spay
the was sentenced for seven years on his
conviction for second degree murder; and
Khine for three years for burglary, which
with his other sentence make* fifteen years
for him.
Friday the case was argued and at 0
o'clock the jury returned.
During the day Wyckofl sent for on© of
the reporters in town and made a confes
sion as follows:
"I am a dipsomaniac. Calm yourself my
dear: I want to tell this man my story.
They never would get it out of me in court,
but the world shall know it through the
Times. 1 bad been drink.ng heavily, and
had lost much money at cards. This thing
came into my mind, and what Spaythe
told on the stand about the plans to exe
cute it was true, except that Spaythe is
the man who killed Shaffer. lie has boast
ed of this in jail to me. He said after he
jumped over the fence he rested the revol
ver on top of a board, took deliberate aim,
and fired. Shaffer dropped and he ran.
His own words are: "I brought the ——
down and they don't know who did
it."
Sullivan and O'Keefe, who was called
Gallagher, stayed at my house after the
murder, and without the knowledge of my
wife, for if she Had suspected what was go
ing on she would have saved me from this
disgrace, for she is as good a woman as
man was ever blessed with."
lie also told of a plot to escape.
The jury was out for sixteen hours and
came in with a second degree verdict.
On Monday, Judge Kay burn sentenced
Wyckofl to twelve years in the penitenti
ary on his conviction for murder and
burglary and four years in the workhouse
for keeping a gambling house.
When Wyckofl was brought in for sen
tence, C. A. Sullivan, Esq., formerly of
Butler. made an eloquent plea for mercy
and when Judge Kaybuu asked I)r Wyck
off what he had to say why sentence should
not be imposed on him, and he said:
I have nothing to say, I only want to
say that Spaythe and Khine did not toll
the truth. lam not guilty of perjury and
1 would.have taken the stand a:id denied
half of what they said only my attorneys
told mo that I would be looked upon as a
perjurer.
Judge Kayburn said:
Your counsel, Mr. Sullivan, has made a
most eloquent appeal for inercy, and your
wife asks it too. It mast not be forgotten
that mercy is one oftho attributes of jus
aico. Yon lived in Leechburg and plotted
aglliutkt JfIUU
you entered led to the death of William
Shaffer. Your wife pleads for mercy, but
Shaffer's widow and her three fatherless
children plead for justice.
An Important Law.
The following is a synopsis of the recent
act of the Legislature that is exciting so
much interest among our citizens at pres
ent.
It is entitled, "An act to provide for the
selection of a site and the erection of a
State institution for the feeble minded, to
be called the Western Pennsylvania Insti
tution for the Feeble Minded, and making
an appropriation therefore."
Ist. The Governor shall appoint five
commissioners to select a site. This he
has done.
2d. This site is to be a tract of land con
taining not less than 000 nor moro than
1000 acres, so located as to be accessible by
railroad facilities to the counties of West
ern Pennsylvania.
3d. The site selected shall be good
arable land, well adapted to the preserva
tion of the health and the occupation and
maintenance of the inmates,with adequate
supply of good water and natural facilities
for drainage from the buildings, etc.
4th. The plan of said buildings shall be
prepared by said Commissioners and ap
proved by the State Board of Public Char
ities.
sth. 'lho total cost of said buildings and
grounds shall not exceed the sum ol $500,-
000, $250,000 of which is specifically ap
propriated for the purchase of the land and
the erection of buildiugs, to bo paid by
the Commissioners from the State treas
ury, etc.
Oth. The buildings shall be in two
groups, one for the educational and one for
the asylum department, with school
houses, a gymnasium, drill ball, work
shops and hospital—these buildings to be
on a scale to accommodate not less than
800 inmates or patients, and to be erected
within three years lroin the passage of the
act. (Approved June 3, 1803.
7th. There shall be received into the in
stitution feeble minded children under the
age of 20 years. But adults who may be
determined as feeble minded may be ad
mitted under certain conditions.
Skillful physicians, matrons, teachers,
assistants and attendants are to be appoint
ed. County Commissioners and overseers
of the poor have certain duties to perform
when applications for admissions are made
to them.
The law is a very extensive and impor
tant one. And now the interesting ques
tion is, can wo i-ocuro the location of that
institution in this countyt It is worthy of
our best efforts to try. No liner locations
can he found than on the high
grounds surrounding Butler. The com
mittee appointed by our citizens will make
known these locations to the Commission
ers when they visit this place, which may
be any day after the 15th of July.
