HAURISBUKG.
While both branches of the Legisla
ture were in session, Tuesday night,
the lights went out in every part of the
building, and recess was taken with the
announcement that the electric circuit
had burned out, and that the trouble
would be remedied in a few minutes.
During the recess the Sentors maintained
a dignified quiet, but on the Hoase side
merriment was untied for a time, and
the darkness was lifted to an extent by
conflicting songs and good-natured
chattering on the part of the members
When it was dfscovered that the break
in the electrical apparatus was serious,
both Houses adjourned for the night.
At Harrisburg, Monday it was
thought the Legislature wonld adjourn
within a month; and that all ballot re
form measures would fail. Among the
bills of general interest approved of by
Go 7. Stone and now laws were these:
Permitting corporations to hold more
than 100 acres of real estate for their
own use.
Diverting unexpended taxes for poor
fand to borough funds.
Relative to costs in suits before magis
trates etc.. providing when defendants
give good bail for payment of claim they
shall be reqnired to pay only coats of ap
peal and the return or plaintifi's costs
shall wait final determination of suit
Providing for addition of 5 per cent of
amount of all taxes for which seated
and unseated lands are returned for
non-payment of taxes, which additional
tax shall go to the collector.
Permitting municipalities to acquire
the property and franchises of private
sewage companies.
Validating all elections by municipal
ities on questions of increasing their in
debtedness held since 1861.

corporation of banks, permitting them

' . POLITICAL.
Stephen P. Stone of Beaver, who has
been commissioned by President McKin
ley as United States Marshal for the
Western District of Pennsylvania, call
ed ui»on the retiring Marshal, Fred C.
Leonard, Tuesday afternoon, and with
him went to Washington that night.
Mr. Stone will qualify by giving a bond
for $50,000 and thinks that he will take
the oath of office May 6, when the Unit
ed States Courts convene in Pittsburg.
Mr. Leonard will then qualify under
his appointment as Marshal of the Mid
dle district, having his headquarters at
Harrisburg.
About a hundred men, mostly mem
bers of the Philadelphia bar, and mem
bers of the Legislature, listened to the
arguments for and against the Ripper
bill, to the Supreme Court, sitting in
Philadelphia, Tuesday. The gist of the
argument for it was that the Legisla
ture is the whole show and can do what
it pleases: and against it that it is local
or special legislation and therefore un
constitutional. A decision is expected
within ten days.
At Harrisburg, Tuesday, a "boom''
was started for Speaker Marshall for
State Treasurer.
Quay was in Harrisburg, Thursday
night, conferring with Gov. Stone, and
whether there is to be war or peace be
tween the two men remains to be seen.
'•Senator Matthew Stanley Quay
arrived in Beaver Tuesday. Con
cerning his recent trip south the Sena
tor is communicative to his friends, but
when asked by a reporter concerning
things political, he invariably ventures
an evasive reply. Of the ballot reform
bill, the Stone-Elkin combination, and
other subjects now agitating the minds
of the politicians, the Senator refrains
from speaking, further than to declare
himself in favor of ballot reform, a po
sition that he has defined on many pre
vious occasions.
However, the Senator is pronounced
in his advocacy of the candidacy of
Stephen P. Stone, Esq., of Beaver, lor
the United States Marsbalship of West
ern Pennsylvania. In an interview in
Pittsburg Mr. Quay declared emphatic
ally for the well known Beaver banker,
who has been his lite-long friend. To
friends in Beaver the Senator reiterated
his declaration for Mr. Stone, and in
consequence, the latter's boom for the
position has received au impetus which
is exceedingly gratifying to his friends.
There are quite a number of candidates
for the appointment, among them Rep
resenative John McTighe of Allegheny.
Senator and Mrs. Quay were enter
tained Tuesday evening at dinner at the j
home of Mr. and Mrs. Stone."—Beaver ;
Times.
Mr. Stone is a wealthy banker and j
his appointment is very unsatisfactory
to the other applicants in the district.

An Oklahoma country postuißster
recently sent the following notice to the
Postoflice Department: "Sur i wish to
notify you that on next Wednesday this
oitic will be shet asiam gone dear hunt.
You kin fire me if you see fit, but I'll
give you apinter that i'm the only man
in the nayborhood that kin rede and

Now that England has to borrow
three-hundred millions to pay for the
South African war, robbing the Dutch
men of their gold mine don't seem so
tunny.
The Flood of tlie Year *Ol.
Daring the latter part of last week
the clouds from all quarters of the gloln?
seemed to a.--<-mble over Western Penn
sylvania. carrying their feight of water
and snow. It began raining here
Thursday, and the rain fell almost con
tinuously, night and day,for three days.
The entire fall for this section was esti
mated at four inches. On Friday morn
ing the trains from the North came in
covered with snow—ten inches of which
were reported at Mercer.eighteen inches
at Greenville and Youngstown, and two
feet at Meadville- a remarkable feature
of an April storm.
All the etrerfms became roaring tor
r. u; j. :.nd bv Saturday morning the
Cii io<i .lenessing had overflowed the
flats on the E ist and West Sides.
On the East Side several families had
to move out of their houses, and board
piles and factories were inundated. At
the Electric light works the water was
over the fire boxes, and the dynamos
were- raised to keep them from getting
wet and rusting. The street-cars, of
course, were stopped; and the town was
in partial darkness that night.
On the West Side the water is said to
have been as high as it was during the
flood of forty years ago, part of the
-Island" district was a real island, and
the backwater was dan.-i.rous and
several accidents were narrowly avert
ed. The basement of tbi 1 road street
school was flooded by the waters of Snl
livan run; and the Lead W urks and Car
Barns were surrounded by water. Quite
a number of people on that side lost
their chickens—which flew down from
their perches in their coops into the
water, and were drowned. All the
railroads were in trouble excepting the
West Penu, and it had some trouble
near Sarver Station. The B. K. & P
used the West Penu track from Butler
over Sunday.
The P. & W. station in Allegheny and
the lower streets of that city were flood
ed and there were a few fatalities there
from falling walls. At Herrs Island
the water in the river was 28 feet deep,
and about the same depth was reported
for the Monongahela and head of the
Ohio.
The heavy rains, and following floods,
seemed to prevail over all of Western
Penn'a, and parts of Ohio, West \ a.
and Kentucky.
The Terrible Death of Koy Ootl
dari t.
On last Friday morning Roy S. God
dard, oldest son of J. L. Goddard, w?s
found dead in the engine house of the
Forest Oil Co. on the John Clark farm
near Callery. Mr. Goddard had gone
to the well to oil up and while doing so
his clothing caught 011 a '-clutch 011
the shaft and was wound around it.
As it was revolving at the rate of about
150 to 200 revolutions per minute bis
death was instantaneous, his neck and
back were broken and his limbs were
literaly pounded off to the knees. When
discovered by his brother, Ray, he was
quite dead. In the absence of the Cor
oner J. F. Shannon, Esq. held an in
quest and a verdict of accidental death
was found by the jury.
Mr. Goddard was a very quiet, unas
suming man, and as faithful an em
ployee as Forest Oil Co. had. He was
married and leaves a wife and one child.
Services were held at his late resi
dence on Saturday by Rev. Slonaker of
Zelienople. His remains were taken to
Edenbnrg. Lawrence county, on Mon
day, and service held iu the Disciple
church, after which he was laid to rest
in the Coats family burying ground.
Quite a number of the Woodmen, to
which order he belonged, attended his
body to the grave.
A"large anchor of flowers presented
by employees of Henry Steinberger's
district was exceedingly beautiful, and
emblematic of the young man's life, so
suddenly ended. A pillow of cut flow
ers by friends was also very beautiful
Mr. Goddard was 28 years of age and
had been working for the Co. for sever
al years. He is survived by two sisters,
Artie B. Goddard and Mrs. R J. Wil
liams. and one brother Ray.
The friends and relatives have the
sympathy of the entire community in
their sad bereavement and sorrow.
S.
Agtiinaldo's Manifesto.
"I believe I am not in error in pre
suming the unhappy fate to which my
adverse fortune has lead me, is not a
surprise to those who have been famil
iar with the progress of the war. The
lessons taught with a full meaning and
which have recently come to my know
ledge, suggest with irresistible force
that a complete termination of hostili
ties and lasting peace are not onlv de
sireable. but absolutely essential to the
welfare of the people of the Philippine
Islands.
The Philifpinos have never beui (lis
mayed at their weakness nor have they
faltered in following the path pointed
out by their fortitude and courage.
The time has come, however, in which
they find their advance along this path
to be impeded by an irresistible force
which, while it restrains them, yet en
lightens their minds and opens to them
another course, presenting them the
cause of peace.
This cause has been joyfully em
braced by the majority of my fellow
countrymen who have already united
around the glorious sovereign banner
cf the United States. Tn this banner
they repose their trust and belief that
under its protection the Philip pino
people will attain till those promised
liberties which they are beginning to
enjoy. The country has declared tin-'
mistakeably in favor of peace. So be
it. There has been enouarh blood,
enough tears and enough desolation.
This wish cannot be ignored by the men
still in arms if they are animated by a
desire to serve our noble people which
has that clearly manifested its will So
do I respect this will, now thst it is
known to me.
After mature deliberation 1 resolutely
proclaim to the world that I cannot re
tnse to heed the voice of a people long
ing for peace, nor the lamentations of
thousands of families yearning to see
their dear ones enjoying the liberty and
the promised generosity of the great
American Nation.
By acknowledging and accepting the :
sovereignty of» the United States
throughout the Philippine archipelago
as 1 now do and without any reservation
whatsoever, I believe that I am serving
thee, my beloved country, may happi
ness be thine "

He was driving home from Whitestown,

which was tied to a rope fastened to the
bridge and at the risk of their lives were
borne on the raging water to Mr. Cable
and rescued him when about to dr ip
Mr. Cable was cramped, blue with cold,
wet, speechless; he had been 011 the tree
three hours and twenty minutes when
he landed in the boat. Liquor was giv
en him and he was safely landed and
was hastily taken to the Hotel Ziealer
at Harmony where Dr. Fiedler took
charge of lilm. Late in the evening Mr.
Cable was about and doing well.
