Early American Coinage.
Vermont was the fint State to issue a
coinage oe its own authority. Copper
coins were issued in 1785.
The fint Maryland coins were minted
in 1®62, and war* put in circulation by
Council ordering every householder to
bring in sixty pounds of tobaooo and re
ceira 10 shillings of the new money in ex
ehange for it.
In 1634 tha Massachusetts General As
sembly mad# bullet* a legal tender by the
following enactment. "It is like-wise or
dered that musket bulletta of a full bo are
shall past ourrently lor a farthing apiece.
Provided that noe man be compelled to
take above XII att a tyme in them. 7 '
IK response to an inquiry when, by whom
and under what circumstance! was the
ratio between gold and silver established,
the New Tork Evening Poet givee this bit
of information: "The ratio was not es
tablished by any government. It grew.
The historian Mommaen tells us that gold
waa the first metallio money in Greece
and silver Uxe first in Asia Minor. The
neceeeitiee of trade required that there
should be some ratio between the two,
but it was fixed by the custom of mer
chants, not by governments. Both kinds
of money drifted into Italy with the Greek
migration, bat there tbe earliest money
was copper, and there was a ratio between
silver and copper, a ratio established by
custom, which was liable to frequent
change. The modern conception of a
ratio between silver and gold started with
the first ooining of gold alter the middle
ages in the thirteenth century."
GBOORAFHY still has some wonders to
nofold aooording to several able papers
read before the International Geographi
cal Congress in London. One of these,from
a distinguished Norwegian geographer, re
lated to tbe antarotio oontinent, which is
as yet unvisited. —The size of this un
knewn region is estimated at 8,000,000
square milea, or more than twice the area
of Australia. So many strsnge animals
and plants were discovered in Australia
th.t the exist en oe of carious forms of life
in the anthartic continent may be reason
ably taken for granted, and primitive
tribes of men should exist there also,
Judging from the past history of geograph
ical exploration. Several antarctic expe
ditions are propoeed, and before 1900 is
uhered in some later Columbus may bring
amasing news from the Southern polsr
latitudes.
Mu. P. T. BAB* CM, widow of the great
showmen, was married on Wednesday of
last week, in New York, to Dimitri Cairas,
a Greek general. lira. Barnum is 43
yeari old. She was lormerly MUs Fish,
of Nottingham. She was Mr. Barnum'*
•aoond wife, and was 23 years old at the
time of her marriage. By the terms of
hit will Mr. Barnatn, who died in 1801,
left hie widow SIOO,OOO in cash and an
annuity of $40,000 for life. Mrs. Barnum
was also made residusry legatee of the
$20,000,000 estate, with no instructions as
to her marrying again.
THI news from China is far from
reaasaring to the friends of tbe mission
aries and other Americans in that country.
Reports of massacres multiply. The
Chinese government is weak and lacks
any great inoentivs to proteot foreigners.
This comes largely from the fact that
Bnseie has led tbe Chinese to believe that
they need not fear outside interference.
If the other civilised nations do not now
teach China a lesson that will once for all
end these hideous maasacres a great mis
take will be made.
Tmm Colima volcano at Guadalajara,

unusually active during the last two

J a Pi* ordered 30,00$ tons of iron pipe
from United States manufacturers, the
order having been secured by an Alabama
pipe and foundry company.—lt is said to
be the largest contract for Iron for foreign
shipment on reeord, and was secured in
competition with the leading i:on manu
facturers of the world. This is certainly
a notable trinmph for onr iron men, and
especially for the South.
Caahier's Crime Recalled.
X year ago. Harry A. Gardner, cashier
of the Second National bank of Altoona,
defaulted and left for parts unknown with
$190,000 of the bank's fends. That event
waa followed bv the most sensational dis
closures, including the temporarv closing
of the bank and the suicide of Bank Ex
aminer Miller, whe blew out bis brains
when he began, to realise in his investi
einn of the bank books how completely
bad been duped by his trusted Iriend,
Cashier Gardner. Oardner has not oeen
heard ot since bis disappearance.
Recently bia wife and family, wbo had
keen residing in Hollidaysburg, visited
friends in the oountry, one Sunday after
noon. They were driven from their friend's
home in a closed oarriage to Huntingdon,
where they boarded an east bound train.
It is thought that they took an ocean liner
from New York to Join the fugitive cash
ier in South America. Tbe detective*
were dnmfounded when they learned of
their mysterious leaving.
Gardner was a man or means, and sti:i
owns a fine mansion borne and estate in
Hollidaysburg. Suits brought by the
hank to take Ibis property in satisfaction
of a portion of its losses, aie new pending
beloie tbe state supreme court on legal
technicalities. Tbe bank also attached
a large block of stock owned by Oardner
in a local building and loan association,
but tbe cashier's lawyers claim tbe stock
for their fees. The opinion prevails that
the missing cashier will never sufler either
in person or estate by reason ot bis defal
cations.
The He Idlers' Orphans' Schools.
It is said that the Soldiers' Orphan
8 ckool Commission will be compelled to
rejeot many applications for the admission
ul children of soldiers into tbe Soldiers'
orphsn srbools, because of insufficient
room to accomodate them. The aggre
gate capacity of the fonr schools under tbe
supervision of the commission Is about
1,000.
This is owing to tbs failurs of the Legis
lature to appropriatee $225,000, the amount
a sked to provide additional room to the
Industrial Sohool at ScotlsDd. snd thus
abandon tbe other orphan schools. Tbe
appropriation should not have been with
held, and was lest simply btcause there
was no one en the eppropriatiou commit
tee sufficiently interested to insist upon
it.
Tbe schools at Unlontown, Harford and
Chester Springs will, therefore, have to be
continued at least two years more. Ln
der the 'aw all destitute ohildreu of former
soldiers or sailors are proper subjects for
cdmis«' -<n U» '.be , atious orphans' schools.
Originally orphans of soldiers and sauors
f(re admitted to the institution. —Kx. i
THEJSJTUDEBAKER REUNION.
Several hnndred people assembled it
the home of David Studebaker in Worth
twp., last Thursday to celebrate the cen
tennial of the settlement of David Stude
baker in that township.
Clem Studebaker, the wagon manufac
turer of South Bend, Ind. came in during
the morning, and the East Brook band,
which had been engaged for the occasion
gave him a serenade. yuite a number of
elderly people were present and among
I them James Pizor ar.d Hamp Book of
Worth, and Wm. Dickey ol Washington!
twp. Book promptly recognized Dickey, j
but Dickey had to think awhile betore he
could say Book's name.
Five-hundred and twenty-five people
registered in the book prepared for the oc
cai'oa; while the mutual recognition
were taking place the women prepared
dinner in the orchard. The people of the
neighborhood had brought baskets full ol
provisions and there wa» enough and to
spare for everybody.
After dinner the peop'e assembled, ard
the meeting was called to order by G. M
Studebaker, who read a 3hort history of
the family as follows:
It affords me pleasure to st»te to you to
day that we are celebrating the settlement
of the Studebaker family, near where we
are now Ftandinjr, which took place 1
1790. It was probably the first settif-men
in the countv of Butler and was among tbe
first in Western Pennsylvania.
I will stale a few tacts regarding the
history of this family. I learn ttut they
were among the first settlers of Pennsylva
nia in the dayt of Win. Penn, and that
they originally came from Germany. A
B on of one of the first emigrants made a
settlement Dear Gettysburg. Pa. He and
his wife were killed by the Indians on
March 3, 1754. Their children. Joseph,
aged 11 years and his brother, Phillip, and
sister Elizabeth, somewhat younger wer
taken captives. They were brought into
Ohio by Indians, employed by the J-rench
during the Trench and Indian war. Alter
remaining prisoners over 9 years they were
recaptured by Gen. Devo and taken toCar
lile. Pa-, Elizabeth met her death by being
thrown from a pony,
Josepn and Phillip Studebaker came to
Greensburg in 1770 and made a settlement,
after which Phillip made a settlement in
Southern Ohio. Joseph becoming an inti
mate friend of George Washington, was
appointed Captain during tbe Revolution
ary war in 1790. lie lost bis settlement
in a legal contest and sent his son David
and Abraham Snyder, through a section ol
country which he knew from having gone
through it with their Indian capturers.
David and Snyder crossed the Allegheny
River at or near Logan's Ferry, and came
here, where we are now today. They im
proved their settlement, and brought Win.
Elliott from GreensburiJ to survey a 400
acre tract of land around this place. Li
liott surveyed for himself along Slippery
rock creek, the land which is now owned
by Wm. Perry and Franklin Elliott a heirs,
Wm. Macon, Bowman and John Pisor. In
1791 Joseph Studebaker brought his fami
ly here where his son David had made a
settlement. At the outbreak of the war of
1812 David was appo.nted First Lieuten
ant and left for the war, leaving his son
Henry,tbe oldest of tbe family now living,
to care for his lamily. Joseph Studebaker
after returning Irom the war, located
wh«re we are at present.
His family are David, John. Kutb (wile
of James Humphrey), and Mary (wile ot
Jas. StephensoD). Henry Studebaker,
along with Lida, wife of Jonathan liar
lan of Franklin, Pa., Elizabeth, wife of
John Bennett, SusaD, wife of Jonathan
Barnes, Mollie, wife of James Book of An
nandale, were the family of David.
Abraham Snyder a'id David Studebaker,
while on their journey to this place, camp
ed for the night at a spring near where
Butler now stands. On the next day tbey
came to this place where weare today,and
built a log cabin near this famous s, ring,
under a la.ge oak tree, the stones ol which
remain today near where we have met
Glem otudebaker was called upon to
preside, Henry Studebaker wan made vice-
President, Jobn Humphrey, Secretary,
and Her. Alexander opened tbe meeting
with prayer.
Gltm Studebakor, and David Emery, of
Greenville, made cheerlul addresses.
Cap't. Waa*on, of Pittsburg. spoke of the
day* gone by; and W. C. Findley, of But
ler. praised the dinner.
At the clone of the speaking, tbe Presi
dent, in behalf ot I. O. Studebaker, tbe
baker of New Castle, presented Henry
Studebaker, aged 02 year*, and the present
patriarch of the family, with an immense
cake. Some of the people present then
witnessed a base ball game, others bad
their picture* taken in groups and others
passed tie time in conversation. Mr.
Kidder and family, of Warren, 0, were
among the guests; H. V. Graham's three
weeks-old baby was tbe youngest person
present.
The day was enjoyed by all present, and
the occasion was one that will be remem
bered for lile.

the history of the family.
A Ninety-s.x Ton Electric Locomotive.
With the view, principally, of escaping
the nuisances of smoke and gasnes from *
steam locomotive in drawing a passenger
train through a long tunnel, tbe Haiti
more <fc Ohio Railroad, with the co opers
tion of the Generl Klectric Company, has
brought into it* srvioo a powerful elec
trie engine. Throe of these electric loco
motives were ordered, and one of them
has for tbe past tew days beee
doing duty carrying pssseriger_ aid freight
trains throngh a tunnel 17,33."i leet iong.
commencing at the Camden street depot
in tbe city of Baltimore, and over trucks
at each end of the tunnel, which brings
the total haulage by electric traction up
to about three miles The services calcula'
ed upon from these electric locomotives
is the transfer of abont 100 trains each
way daily, each passenger train having a
maximum weight, of Mo tons, including
the steam locomotive connected with the
train, to be moved at a speed of 35 miles
an hour, and freight trains, weighing 1,-
200 tons each, to bo moved at a speed ol
1(5 miles an hour on an 08 per cent grade
Tbe powerful machine winch has been
constructed for this work lu ars with its
entire weight of 00 tons,or 192,000 pounds,
on its eight driving wheels, which is con
siderably more than twice the weight on
'.be driving wheels of the heaviest steam
locomotive. It has two trucks and eight
driving wheels of a diameter of 'i-' inebe
eaoh outside the fires, the wheel
base ol each truck being fi leet 10 inches;
the length over all, 3f> leet; and the height
to top of cab, 14 feet .'1 inches.
The cab is of sheet steel, sheathed in
side with wood, and is in two parts, each
supported on one truck. There is a
sloping shield on each side of the cab, tor
want and aft, one diiblt' (tarrying a head
light and bell and the other a headlight
and whistle.
There are four motors, two on each
truck, or one to each axle. The driving
gear consists of a casteel spide- shrunk on
and keyed to a casteel driving sleeve,
forming the core of the armature, each
arm of the spider having a double rubber
cushion, with a chilled cast iron weaing
cap,the cushion being forced into the arn.s
of the spider anil the cap, »nd the arms ol
the spider being thus held in engagement
with the sunken of each driving wheel.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT BRAD
DOCK.
Eight meu met frightful death* and as
many more were terribly burned at the
Edgar Thomson steel works at Braddock
Tuesday morning.
Six were killed outright and two died, |
one on the way to Mercy Hospital, and
the other just after being taken there.
The accident happened through a blow
j oat at Furnace H, and was the worst since
| the disastrous one which happened in the
j tall of ISB9.
i The blowout or explosion occurred at
I the top of the furnace In dumping the
I ore into the huge bell the barrow, weigh
ing fome 1 500 pounds, wa« accidentally
allowed to topple over into the receptable
I for the ore. and was bearing its weight on
I the I,ell, which it was impossible to raise.
In the meantime the pas was accumu
lating rapidly betwe°n tbe bell an I ', what
is known ss a "hang" in the furnace.
It w*s to t»k* this load from the bell
that a gang of 14 laborers under the lore
manship of James Harriscn were called to
the top of the furnace. They were all
supplied with btigc iron crowbars and * are
in tbe act of raising the heavy weight
from the bell when the "bang" gave way.
The e Ifect was horrible. Without a
moment's warning immense volumes of
burning Java and nas surrounded tbe un
fortunate victims The flimes of the burn
ing gas belched from the top of the furnace
>. a height of fully 300 feet. The igneous
mailer from tbe "furnace was hurled a
thousand feet away, and the furna<-e fori
the time being took on the appearance of I
a volcano in ei option.
The me.n on top of the furnace were
uken so unaw-ires that they had no time
whatever to make any attempt to escape
to the shelter, which is provided lor tbe
feeders of the furnace. One man was
iifted high into the air a distance of fully
100 feet snd dropped down the elevator
sbalt. lie struck on a car on one of the
.sidings, and his body was literally cut in
two.
several of '.be remaining ones were so
completely overoome that tbey dropped
unconsciouel" to the iron floor and were
quicklv enveloped in the fierce flames,
which burned their boiiies to a charred and
lifeless mass.

Origin ol tbe lire unknown.
Ourpi-ople beve awakened t«' the neces

The spectacle of energy and vigorous
growth which the garden and field afford
at the present tiae should till every
thoughtful mind with reverent wonder.
Man, when he projects some complicated
building filled with apparatus and con
veniences for varied purposes, plans it ali
out with skillfull care, and then by the
aid of innumberable workmen, all skilled
in their various departments, fashions and
shapes the needful materials, and by
building the fabric tip piece by piece,
finally triumphs in his completed work j
If, however, he wants to duplicate or en-
large it, precisely the same process ha« to
be gone through strain, and the first work
only aids him as a pattern.
In Nature, however, we find fie ir ost
complicated fabrics apparently making
themselves; and having one of these in
our possession, we many, as it were, pu'l
a brick out of the factory wall, stick it in
the middle ot a suitable site, and lo! it
will begin splitting itself up and spreading
around until we begin to see the plan of
another factory developing; everything be
adjusted to a nicety as the performance
roes on, until finally all is complete and
in lull working order. Can anything be
more marvelous than thisf and yet it is
going on all the time, and if any reader
tails to grasp the fact, let him gel a mirror
and see such a factory in himself. These
wonderful bricks are the cells; and of
course in man himself the marvel is the
greater that some of the cells which ° or "
tribute to build him up, i. e., his brain
cells, are the fathers ot the iaorganic ru
brics which dot the world with cities and
towns, and seam it all over with the bene
ficent mycelium of rail and road which at
once engedders and fosters their exten
-1 In the vegetable kingdom this power of
self-construction in the cell is easily stud
ied in some of its lower forms by means ot
a microscope; some of the translucent wat
er weeds especially display very clearly
the delicate network of ceils which con
si itute their comparatively simple struct
ure Valisneria spiralis does so to perfec
tion, and the circulation ot the sap from
cell to cell is shown very clearly. A very
simple object, showing not only how the
oils multiply, bat also in a small degree
that iscratable wonder of building to plan,
is the protballus of a fern, the little green
scale produced by the spore. A periodi
cal examination of one of these from the
time it is a tiny dot up f> that of the full
size scale, will show distinctly all the
stages of self-shaping, and also the differ
entiation into root hairs, and the J e P ro
ductive organs, which may be regarded as
the machinery above alluded to. A few
spores scattered on a piece of damp clay
are easily tandled and examined f rora
time to time without detriment. rrom
1 such a simple manifestation it becomes
easier to carry the mind to the more com
plex cases where plants not merely build
themselves up iato stems, leaves and
charming flowers, but more marvslous
yet, constitute themselvss subtile chemi
cal laboratories in addition, in which the
deadliest poisons, beneficent medicines, or
r nutritrous food and stimulants are all
t alike formed from the same soil constitu
ents by Nature's own alchemy. The self
• same family, indeed, may emurace both
extremes, the deadly nightshade and the
tomato to wit, or, more wunderlul yet,
one and the same truit. such as a peac.h,
may yield a store of delicious food in its
flesh, while hiding the deadliest of poisons
prussic acid itself, in the kernel. Truly,
when we consider these things the spec
tacle of a plant in full growth is one ol
overwhelming interest, as active evidence
of the creative power of which we know so
little though we see so much. —The Gard
