whom ex-Senator Quay has slated for
Chairman of the State Republican Com
mittee, is haying a hard time finding
places for his lieutenants For a while
Governor Stone gave him everything he
asked for. bnt he wanted so much that
the Executive finally shutdown on him.
that someone else might have a chance
Governor Stone has rewarded Sol A.
Bacharach, of Wilkeslarre. for his
service to the machine at the recent
primaries for State delegates in Luzerne
county by appointing him assistant exe
cutive clerk. The place pays SI,BOO a
' year, and is a sinecure for one who is
not a stenographer and typewriter. The
law requires that the appointee shall
have these qualifications, but as Bachar
ach has neither, his duties will be form
ally announced when Bacharach is ex
pected to report for duty. He is one of
the most active (Jnay workers in
Luzerne county, and for the past two
years lie has been carried on Uncle
Sam's pay roll as a Deputy Marshal
The decision of Judge Weiss in de
claring unconstitutional the act pro
\ r — hibiting the discharge of Union soldier?
from public positions unless for caus e
gives Governor Stone an opportunity to
get rid of certain objectionable State
employes whose places are wanted by
more active party workers. These
employes have been protected by this
taw, and the Governor did not want to
remove them, through fear of incurring
the displeasure of the McKimley Veteran
League, of Dauphin county, which has
been organized to protect such persons.
He has nothing to fear now from this
source-, since the act has been declared
invalid, and some of these employes are
fearful that it is only a question of a
short time when they are dismissed.

The relations Isdween (Jreat Britain
and the Transvaal wus the absorbing
political topic fn London last week.
Th •re was a sharp difference ofopinf in
not only in the press, but among the
Cabinet Ministers themselves, as to how
President Kruger's defiant attitude
should be met.

been rejected by him in the conference

if he is still contumacious, war should

Balfour and the bulk of the Cabinet aie
against proceeding to extremes.
When Mr. Chamberlin, in the House
of Commons on Tuesday, summed up
the result of the Bloemfontein confer

has been created." he nsed a pregnant
phrase, open apparently to a variety of
interpretations, but in reality ojx-n to

this 'mall vliage could afford. In the

not one building was left standing
above the cellar windows everything
above a foundation wall was shaved as

It will be several days before the num

entire number of fatalities will ever be
chronicled In the path of the storm
botli to the northeast and southwest f, f
the city were scattered farm houses,
ami wherever they were struck hv that

a pile of boards and twisted rafters
How many were killed in these house*-
will not be for a long time.
It is impoerible to estimate the prop

part of the town, ami to make the blow

that th r< is absolutely nothing to be

With frarit:-- energy the search was
conducted all day, and up to 0 o'clock
54 bodies had been found, although the
number of dead certainly will reach 100
or more. These have for the most part
been taken to the Catholic audCongreg

Outlying residences in the path of the

hoards or side were blown off, or, as
more frequently happened, were torn

Trees were uprooted and roadways
blocked, washed away or so overflowed

Along th: by I >jn fragments of their
homes the people wander, helplessly,

Gen. Antonio Luna, one of the bit
terest foes of the Americans in the
Philipines, has been assassinate*} bv
orders of Gen Agninaldo, the Filipino
leader. Luna has recently found him
self in opposition to his chief s views,
and has not only disobeyed his orders,
but at one time stopped Agninaldo s
peace commisioners while on their way
to Manila to treat with the Americans.
Agninaldo ordered his death aud his
orders were carried out by some of his
fanatical followers. The report of hi
assassination caused great excitement
anions the Filipino 3 in Manila, which
was added to later when the report was
confirmed.
The assassination of (»*n Luna oc
curred on June K , at Kabanatuau. to
which place he had gone to confer with
Agninaldo. Ke had just previously
been promoted to tin- r;-.nk of major
general by the Filipino leader. By a
pr< concert' 1 plan he was kept waiting
at the door of Aguinatdo's headquarters
nntil his patience became exhausted.
After demanding admission several
times he attempted to force hii way in.
He drew his revolver, bnt iiefore he
could use it he was seized by Agnin
aldo's guard - and one of them, named
Ney, stabbed him several times, it is
snid. Gen. Luna's aid. who was near
him, rushed to the general's re*-me. !>nt
was seized and disarmed. Luna died a
f"w minutes after Ising stablssl

Au event that will dwell long in the
minds of the participants occured last
Thursday at the residence of I A.
Clark near Greece City. The affair
was planned by friends and neighbor-*
of the aforesaid Charles and matters
were skillfully handled in order to pre
vent Charles from catcling on. He
had gone to his work as usual not ex
jieeting to return till midnight but was
shortly followed by a messenger who
notified him to return home at once
Returning to bis home he was surprised
to find a large crowd who had gathered
to celebrate his first wedding anniver
sary. Tables were spread in the grove,
laden with many of the l>est edibles
that could be obtained and prepared in
first class style, veritably "a feast tit for
the gods After the repast came the
jieneral social menu in which all partic
ipated and which extended into the
vree hours before the last guest bad
departed. The whole affair was credit
ably <'on«3 ucted and highly enjoyed by
all who were pres*-ut. SH-KX.
