Old John Adams, in expressing the hope that the Fonrth might always be celebrat ed by explosions of gunpowder, shoots ol enthusiastic crowds, roaring of cannon, and joyfol hoisting of flags, recognized the fact that noise and turmoil are the lan guage of great occasions. There are thosn to whom the celebration of the 4th does not appeal, to whom the noin and racket are annoying. Their souls are lanquid, their patriotism weak kneed, and as for public spirit they ham t as much as the sturdy babe of two who shouts approval at the fizz and bang of the penny fire cracker. A people who close not the shop shut ters on a day such as this are unworthy of political salvation. Their patriotism ii totally depraved. But the people who impatiently wait the midnight bell and murder sleep for the ungodly by making night hideous for traitors shades of Washington, Jeffer son and Adams, sing anthems to their praise. Silence, the world over, means indiffer ence or death. Moving, bustling life, noble efforts, ambitious thoughts; all bring sounds. The Fourth without its fire crack er, its rocket, and its red light becomes inocuous, insipid, insignificant. Banish it, let it die out, and the country takes on a dread sickness; becomes an easy prey t» the foreign hosts. Vhy should we not make our little noisef The thirteen infant states, with their population of three millions, destin ed, as England had it, to remain a depen dent coast Olony, has grown to be what we know it. To day nothing is as un stable as a throne, while over all our in ternal strifes, which appear so momen tous, the stars and stripes float calm and peaceful. TH? native population of Hong Kong, China, is leaving the city by thousands on account of a plague. It is estimated that 100,000 people have fled and that 1,500 deaths have oecurred. The number of deaths is estimated to be 100 a day. PMPAEATIOITS are being made at Kio Janeiro for an elaborate celebration ot the Fourth of July, in recognition of the action of the United States during the Brazilian revolution. PunxauUwney. A correspondent of the Oil City Derrick, writing from the camp of the sth and 16th regiment* near Punx*utawney *ays: The camp itself is a most beautiful place, but it overlooks a tough country, indeed. As your correspondent write* he can nee hundreds of Dagos and Huns' houses and the mouths of three coal mines. The houses in which the strikers live all belong to the company owning the mines and they are of good appearance, but each one is oc cupied by four or five families, who throw in together and pay eight dollars a month rent. Our victorious entry into Walston is worthy of description. We reached Punx sutawney and while stationed there heard reports that would raise the hair on a dog's back, and we were feeling rather excited when we received the command to march to scene of the trouble. On our way down each man had been given 20 round* of am munition, but on our arrival at "Punxy," a* everybody calls it here, we were banded 20 more rounds and told not to waste a bit of it. We had marched about a mile when we received orders to halt, and when we dis coveied the cause a mighty cheer went up from all. It was the Sheridan troop of cavalry, going to the front. We went on then, preceded by the cavalry, until with in right of Walston, with General Wiley, Sheriff Gourley and Colonel Haling* at oor head. Halting just outside of Walston, Compa ny F was called to the lront and led the way into the town. Stopping at the post office, Company F, led by Sheriff Gourley, Col. Hnlings and Captain Crawford, was marched out to the residences of the lead ing strikers, where we were ordered to search every residence for dynamite bomb* and other warlike implement*. A thorough search was instituted, but to no avail, a* nothing was found. In marching into the town a skirmish line was formed over a half mile in length, and It certainly pre sented an appearance to the strikers that awed them, as after they saw we meant business, instead of presenting a sullen ap pearance they began to salute our officers, and to-day nothing is too good for us, bnt they do hate the "Pinkertons." TUB tog boat, Jas D. Nicol, capsized off Sandy Hook on Sunday and 36 persons were drowned. THB law requiring semi-monthly pay ments of wages to employe* is declared unconstitutional by the Ohio Supreme Court. The Blow At American Wool. From the New York Daily Press. The most outrageous economic legisla tion of the century is the Bourbon pro gramme which provide* for the rqin of the American wool raising industry, while presenting eight million* of dollars from the pockets of the American people to the monoply known as the Sugar Trust. The American farmer who toils for a frugal support is to be robbed of the sheep whose wool helps him to a living, while the Sogar Trust millionaires are to be endowed at the expense of the farmer and wage earner. A duty on wool is Indispensable to the existence of that indostry, which could not hold its own against foreign importa tion*. American wool-prodnotion has been fostered and promoted by protec tion, and is in a fair way. with protection continued, to supply all the need* of do mestic manufacture. Sach a rerall would be a signal step in the progress of the country to that industrial independence which Republican protection ha* made possible. On the other hand, the destruc tion of the wool-raising industry would inevitably follow tbe passage of the Bour bon bill, and the United Statea, so far as concerns wool, would be in bondage to South American and Australia It may suit Great Britain t* have us tributary toJßritish colonies tor wool, but it ought not to suit Americans. It may suit Australia to bare tbe sbeim of Ohio, California and othar State* of the West and the Pacific swept to destruction, but tbe American Senate should not represent the intereste of Australian flock masters. Che Northern Senators, irrespective of party, should stand united In defense of the interests of the North, and tbere is no interest more deserving of resolute, firm and unyielding defense than wool production. BonrUonism may be resolved upon tbe annihilation of this industry; but all tbe more determined should tbe repre aentatives of Northern States show them selves in defeating its programme of av arice and revenge. THAT the miners of this county, aside from the foreign element at Walston, have conducted themselves like gentlemen, and earnestly endeavored to keep tbe turbu lent contingent in subjection and preserve the peace, is undeniable. And the fact that they have retained the sympathy of the public for so doing i* attested by the generous contributions from oar citisen* generally. Tbe Indrpendent Refineries. From Titusville World, June 23d. In the great flood and fire of two years «go • van amount of property was destroy ed in the Oil Creek Valley, mainly at Titusville and Oil City. So great was the damage done and so full was the cup of sorrow in the attendant loss of life, that the sympathies of tbe whole country were touched and there waa a prompt and general response to the appeals for help. What would have been the feeling against any man or body of men against whom that destruction of property, to say noth ing of the loes of life, could be charged? And what would have been thought if it had been due to ever unsatisfied greed and the autocratic insolence of power* There is little need to ask what the feeling would have been or how quickly that feeling would have found the ends of jus tice. And yet for the past year or more an effort has been in progress to wreck indus tries in the oil region which represent more than did the property whose de struction two years ago required tbe help of national charity. . . Furthermore, this effort at destruction has been carried on by a monopoly that has ruine<l many industries before, and whose rapacious gTced seems only to be sharpened by the millions it has piled up. When the present fight, which the in dependent oil man. for themselves and for the have been waging wi the Standard Oil monopoly has been fought and won. the names of the following independent refiners of the oil region will stand conspicuously on the roll oi honor. AT TITCBVILLE. Union Refining Company. International Oil Works. Rice, Robinson <fc Foggan. Titusville Oil works. Climax Gasolene Company. Titusville Lubricating Oil Co. American Oil Works. Oil Creek Oil Works. Pennsylvania Paraffine Co. * AT OIL CITV AKb EEXO, German Oil Co. Continental Refining Co. Crystal Oil Work*. Penn Refining Co. Independent Refining Co. Motoal Oil Works. Empire Oil works. AT BBAbFOBD. Emery Manufacturing Co. Kendall Refining Co. AT WARBBS. Complanter Refining Co. Seneca Oil Works. Warren Refining Co. Glade Oil Works. Levi Smith'* Refinery. Tiona Refining Co. These independent refining plants with their equipments and conjunctive inter e*ts represent an aggregate capital of fully $5,000,000. These are the concerns which tbe Standard monopoly, by making refin ed oil cheaper than crude at the .seaboard, ha* been endeavoring to crush and thus cripple the independent lines of which they have been the patrons. Withoot these independent refineries the independent lines wonld have no patron* to whom or from whom to deliver oil, and the producers, with the indepen dent line* thus crippled would again be at the mercy of the Standard Oil Co. It therefore has been to the interest of the Standard to force these refineries if pos sible, to shut down—to wreck $5,000,000 worth of property, if you please, aad eventually make the producer* or consu mers, or both, foot the bill incurred by tbe monopoly in consumating this ruin. In this connection it may be stated that one of the prominent member* of the Standard Oil Trust, is directly quoted as having stated in Pittsburg a few month* ago that within a certain period every in dependent refinery in tne oil regions would be in tbe hands of the Sheriff. The time designated for the completion of thi* work of destruction has already passed but tbe threat ha* been foiled in execution. The pregsore is still on, however, as relent lessly as ever. At personal sacrifice* the mdependant refiner—not one of whom wonld be run ning if the present state of affair* had been brought about by any of the natural law* of supply and demand—have kept their work* going and are still standing faithfully by the independent producer, tbe value of whose product they have been instrumental in almost doubling without additional cost to the consomer. It hardly need be »tated.that thi* effort of the Standard to wipe out practically all Independent competition in thi* country by forcing tbe independent refiner* to the wall, has been an expensive task for the big monopoly. It ha* cost a pile of money, but if it were auoceasful, with the dictation of prices both for crude and refined again in absolute control oi the Standard, it would not take long to replace in the cof fers of that monopoly all tbe coat of its ruin of independent competitor*. But this roin cannot be accomplished— tbi* property of independent, law abiding citizen* cannot be destroyed. The inde pendent producers, refiner* aud pipe line men, are working together in a common cause; behind them i* tbe wholesome and continually widening sentiment of public approval, and in the end the cause of tbe independent oil men and of the masses is bound to triumph. Washington Notes. In the Senate, Friday, Kyle, Populist, spoke in favor of a graduated income tax; Ve*t, for the the Finance Committee, pre sented a substitute for the amendment heretofore offered in relation to insurance and motual benefit association*; also, an amendment reducing tho exemption from $4,000 to $3,000 a year, al*o, an amend ment for the reduction in the a**e*sment of banks, railraod* and other corporations of tbe "actual operating expense*, interest on bonded debt and lo*»es." Sherman spoke against the income tax; -a* did also Hill; of New York, but the sob •titoted reported by the Finance Commit tee was adopted. In the Hoose, that day. the anti-option bill passed by a vote of 150 to 87. It I* aimed at stock gambling. In the Senate, Satnrday, Mr. Vest with drew the Finance Committee amendment to reduce tbe exemption in the inoome tax from $4,000 to $3,000. It* withdrawal wa* followed by foar successive amendment* offered by Mr. Hill to reduce the exemp lion to SI,OOO, $2,000, $2,500 and $3,000. These were all ••aughtered by majorities ranging from 24 to 8. An amendment by Mr. Hoar to exempt salaries of United State* judges was adopted, a* was one by Mr. Hill, to exempt the salary of the Pre«- ident. On Monday both tbe Senate and House adjourned out of respect for the memory of President Carnot, bat before the House adjourned Col. Stone of Allegheny intro duced a bill making attempt* upon the lives of U. 8. official*, or the attempted destruction of public buildings by anarch ist* punishable by death. Can tbe Truth be Concealed. The deadly work may go on, but there are certain portentous facts which cannot be obscured now, aad which cannot be suppressed or evaded or escaped hereafter. If the Sugar Trust schedule passes the Senate, it will owe its narrow margin to votes which have been decided by corrup tion and which have been veiled and shielded by perjury! If it pa**e* the Senate it will be in the presence of a Committee of Investigation suddenly and consciously baited at tbe very door of revelations at whose character and inevitable consequences they stand agast. It sometimes happens that good men shut their eye* and stop their oars lest what they shall *e« and hear will be more painful than indifference to duty an to trntb. If, passing the Senate, the Sugar Tru*. schedule *ba!l a!*o pass the House, it will be solely because the Administration sup port* and demands it. Without the direct and positive interposition of the Adminlto tration on it* behalf it cannot pass. Tho real feeling of the Hoose is against it. Nothing but tbe Administration can save it. The Administration will be on trial. These are the plain facts. It remains for tbo Dem cratio p irty and for the Ad ministration to decide whether tbey can afford to put through this infamy.—Phila delphia Prat. ~ President Carnot'# Assassination. The civilized world was startled on Mon day morning by news of the assassination of President Carnot, of France, Sunday evening. The President was at Lyons visiting the exhibition of arts, sciences and industries there, and was murdered when on his way from a banquet given in bis honor by the Chamber of Commerce. Tbe assassin is known as Cesare Giovanni Santo an Itali ian anarchist, 21 years of age. President Carnot had just entered his carriage at 9 o'clock on the Place de La Bourse, when Santo pressed forward, with a newspaper in hand. As be mounted tbe carriage step, he drew a dagger from the paper and plunged it into tbe President s body. Carnot fell back and the a.aassin was*seized and it was with the greatest dif ficult the crowd conld be restrained from tearing him to pieces. The President wa= removed to a hospital where he gradualy sank and died about midnight. President Carnot arrived in Lyons Satur day and intended to remain there over Tuesday. Ha was accompanied by Gen. Borius, chief of bis military household, most of his other household u&cer.-, i re mier Dupuy, M. Bordeaux and other mem bers of t: e cabinet. He was received en thusiastically at the station by tne mayor and district officials, who, in landaus drawn by horses draped with the t,i-color, I escorted him and bis party to the Hotel De 1 Ville, about three kilometers distant. Cheering ciowds filled tht street and gave the President such a welcome as he had seldom received. There was a luncheon at tne hotei, ana in the evening a dinner at the prefecture. From the balcony of the prefecture the President reviewed a large torchlight pro cession, which was followed by fireworks and illumination. Afterward tbe program of the city officials for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday was submitted »> him in de tail and he expressed his satisfaction with the arrangements. Sunday the President and his party paid a state tribute to tbe exhibition. Alter ward the President held a reception at the prefecture. He planned to go to the Grand Theater that evening after the ban quet at the Chamber of Commerce. He was in a peculiarly happy mood during the banquet, and wa* nu; .ceably elated b) the cordiality of hln reception, Lot orilj by the crowd outside tbe bmiding, but also by the guests witbin. He wa« cheered incessant ly from tbe moment be left the Chamber of Commerce until he took the carriage for the theater. . , . r Marie Francois Sadi Carnot, 1 resident of the French Republic, was born at Limo ges, in August, 1837. He was a grandson of Carnot, "the organizer of victory, un der the French convention, and was a civil engineer by profession. At the age of _J be entered as a student the Ecole Poly tech nique, and passed with distinction to a school for special instruction m the build ing of roads and bridges. Dariujj the siege of Paris, in 1801, be was aup anted prefect ol tbe Leine Inferieure, and as comm:ssary general gave valuable assis tance in organizing tne defenses ot that department. In February. 1861, he took bis seat in tbe National Assembly as Dep uty for C »ted' Or. and subsequently for Beaonc. In 1886 hfftook office in the Brisson cabinet as Finance Minister. On the resignation of II Grevy, in DeC'-mber, 1887, il Carnot was eircted President ol the Republic. Tbe different nations vied with each other on Monday in doing honor to the dead President. Italy for the time sus pended busines and all the principal streets ofber cities were draped in mourning. Premier CrispiS official dispatch re*d as follows: "Deeply affected at the newsol tbe shock ing rnwfeed which ha.s robbed France <>l her first magistrate and Italy ot a friend, I beg to express tbe feeling of horror and pain felt by the King's Government and the whole Italian nation and my personal grief for the illustrious inan France has j ist lost, lie was attached to me, not only by tie* ol admiration, but by sincere friend *hip.

Go\ernor Pattiscn found it necessary to order out part ol the militia to assist Sheriff Gourley of Jeffer son county in maintaining peace. A dis patch from Punxsutawney stated that the I alian and Hungarian strikers had taken possession of the Company's pump house, and tbe mines were filling with water; that they stood guard day and night with guns and left nobody in or out of the town or the Company's works, and that they had stopped all traffic through the vil lage by citizens who lived beyond Punx sutawney. The sheriff stated that he could do nothing and that ;he citizen* were unwilling to serve as deputies. Adj. Gen. Greenland was ordered to send the sth and 16th Regiments and the Sheridan Troops under Gen. Wiley to the scene of disturbance. The militia reached Punx sutawney at 7 a. m. Friday over two railways, reaching the town at the same moment. Five minutes after arrival they were drawn up in battalions in the west end of the town. Alter serving breakfast the men were marched to Walston and Adrian. The Italian and Hungarian "strikers who were doing picket duty about the idle works fled like stampeded cattle at the approach ol the militia. In their flight they took with them their munitions of war, composed of old style guns and pistols and a few weapons of their own manufacture, which they called can non. One of the alleged connon was captured by a detachment of the Fifth Regiment that afternoon. It was made of a black oak butt, into which a three inch gas-pipe had been inserted. It was then clamped with heavy iron hoops and was loaded vith nails and small pieces of iron. A powder fuse was attached to it from the top. The officers regarded it as a daager ous implement. Early Friday morning when the sth Regiment wan moving along to one of the mines, a band of 1000 strikers from Osceola wa.i encountered. Four companies of the g jldiers" were promptly o: dered out. The atrikers made great demonstrations of fight till the order "Forward March" was givtn when they melted into the wood. No more trouble was given by the strikers. L. W. Rubineon, superintendent of the Bell, Lewis & Yates mines, said that he would not employ an Italian. The Amer icans miners held a meeting, and decided not to return to work unless all the strik ers are re-eraploycd. There were several American organizers there from the Cen tral district, and they were laboring in dustriously to prevent the resumption of work. If the old men did not take their old places at once, Supt. Robinson said that he would import man at once. A riot occured al Adriau, njar Punxut awney, on Sunday night in which a Polish woman was biyonettet' by a soldier. Stierifl Gourl -y was taking a number of guards in plain clothe# down on a train, when they were received by the strikers with .stones and clubs. The Militia were not far distant and soon dispersed the mot aud a Polish woman, who was ugly, was somewhat hurt by a bayonet thrust. The striking Huns gained a victorty over the R. A P. Coal Co. on Sunday night when they nurrounded ami captured a crowd%f 58 Poles who had been brought into Punxsutawney to work at the Walston plant. The new men were induced to join the strikers. Tne strikers ware not armed aud used only persuasive powers. On Saturday night the ISerwind, White Company discharged 100 policemen, leav ing ICO for guard duty. Gen.

At RuSing's Grove, in Allegheny Co. on Sanday occurred an accident by which a father and mother are fatally wounded and a babe badly injured. There was a picnic given by tbe St. George Society and while driviug home the horse of Nathar Schniderlochnur ran off and threw him and his wife and child over a rocky pres ipice along the road with tbe result above mentioned. On Saturday afternoon a terrific storm visited the region lying between Pulaski and New Bedford in Lawrence Co. Wind, hail, lightning and heavy rain prevailed and caused a great deal of destruction to crops and buildings. At one place the roads were covered to a depth of three inches with ice and the country presented a regular winter scene. The large hail stones stripped the trees of fruit and did much damage otherwise. Growing wheat and oats were prostrated and corn washed out. While digging a trench through a cellar that had been excavated and then filled up by the flood of 1559, workmen in Johns town last week unearthed a parlor car that was lost from the ill-fated day express at Conemaugh that day. It is believed fur ther search will unearth bodies of persons lost on that train. Owing to the microbe laden Bibles used at Easton, kissing the Book has been dis pensed with in the Courts Owing to tbe existence cf five cases of small-pox in the vicinity of the public school house, at Thirteenth and Cotton streets, Reading, the schools in that structure were closed.

They were formerly members of the society, and their parents, brothers and bisters were among the original mem bers. There are parts of the bill of a high ly sensational nature. Duss, with Hice and Reeves, are mentioned a j the leaders in a plan to secure the Society's wealth and transfer it from the possession of the rightful owners. Personal charges are made against Duss.
