During a fit ol BlwiipheuiiuK »nd t'nralD|. From the Milton Record. The following remarkable story is going the rounds about town. On Monday, a reporter of the Record called on Rev. Fossellman, of the Evangelical church, who verified the statement so far as they came under his observation : About eight months ago an iron worker named Starks, employed down town became angered and swore and blasphemed in a most frightful way. In the midst of his profanity he was strick en deaf and dumb and never spoke a word until last week, w"ien he at tended a protracted meeting in the Evangelical church, aud made a pro fession of religion, after which his speech came back to him. The next day, howaver, he was speechless again and he is now loosiHg his sight. When he lirst lost his speech at the mill he said a vision appeared to him and approached him for his wicked ness and when it vanished he was unable to speak or hear. The case has a tinge of the supernatural that we would like to see investigated. Train robbery will not be an easy task in the future, judging from the reports of preparation Ijy the rail road companies to meet this recent method of theft by highway men. The express companies which carry large sums of money are seriously considering the advisibility of plac insi the money rates so high that the bauks will be forced to use the Unit ed States mails for the transporta tion of their money, must '-hold up" the United States mails as well as the express companies, thus making such a robbery a Government offence. The express companies are now carrying on their heavy money trains guards armed with the latest improv ed styles of revolvers and Winches ters. These guards are men known for their determination and nerve, and will most likely give a warm re ception to the next gang that at tempts to rob a train anywhere in the country. The express compan ies are also placing burglar-proof safes in their cars. These safes are| strongly'constructed, so it will take the robbers hours to get into them, and if they are blown up the money will be destroyed so that it will not do the robbers any good, the safes are locked in Mew York and cannot be opened by any oue until their arrival at Chicago or other points of destination, the messenger not know ing the combination. Frank Gallagher was perhaps the maclest man in seventeen counties Monday night and Tuesday morn ing. Charley Landon and Andrew Hackley commenced shingling his house on Monday, and tore oft' a good part of the old shingles on the east side of the building and failed to cover up the hole with new ones. This hole extended the entire length of the building and ot comae Galla gher's "Cafe" got a fearful wetting from top to bottom Monday night. Frank gathered up all the Jugs, cans and tubs there were in the house and placed them under the drip pings, but they were not of sufficient size to hold the down pour of rain and in a short time the plastering on that side of the house was soaked. Failing in this he climed on the roof and attempted to cover ihe hole with shingles. While thus engaged at nbout midnight, he slipped and but for the slat the carpenters had nailed near the edge ol the roof, would have fallen to the ground. lie caught on this and as soon as he could gather himself rt treated to the ground. Gallagher read the riot act. in great shape to the carj>enters on Pnesday morning- The boy say, they felt for him, but could no reach him at that tjmv of night- Our conductor, Mr, Knipe, is mak ing war on the loathsome creatures i who spit til) the oar floods.

Have you given tbe Tariff ques tion a thought ? A wise man will look at both sides and study, which will be the best for bis own pocket. Among the numerous articles to be placed on the free list are: wool, coal, iron ore, lumber and salt. Ot the articles mentioned which will prove detrimental to the people of little Sullivan are : wool, coal and lumber. If this administration per mits wool to be shipped to America free of duty, sheep raising in this vicinity will be an industry of the past, as the price of wool would go down to 15 and 18 cents per pound. This would not compensate the grower sufficient for his trouble and we all know there is no profit to the farmer in disposing of sheep to the butcher. All seriousness, don't you think, with wool on the free list, would be discouraging to the farm ing element of our country. Do you complain of the price of clothes to-day ? Are you not will ing to pay $G or more for a suit of clothes and let your neighbor farmer live? Why kill the industry of the farmer ? Coal comes next on the list. This industry brings many dollars into our county. The Bernice vein of coal is cne of the largest in this sec tion of the country and gives em ployment, when running on full time to a large number of people. With coal placed on the free list the min ers would have to work for less wages, hence less money in circula tion, and Bernice, now quoted as being the best market in the county, would fall below the lowest. If the old country can ship coal to this country and sell it as cheap as we can with a duty imposed, with the duty off they could sell it that much cheaper, hence our people must drop in price to compete with the foreign er. Who in your opinion will be the looser of this reduction ? Do you think the owners of the Bernice mines will submit to stand it ? No boys, you will havo to stand the re duction. Mr. Blight will say—"we arc compelled to sell our coal for so much less than last year, the scale of the men must be arranged accord ingly." The result will be, we can buy our coal for less money per ton at a sacrifice to the men. In other words the men will have to give their hard labor in part payment for my coal. Mark the words of the REPUBLICAN if this does not come true. It cau't be otherwise. No sane man wilt say the company will put up with the loss, and the con sumer will be benefited, hence who will shoulder the free trade act ? None but the hard working mineis. Well, lumber is next. This in dustry' is second to none in the county. It gives employment to perhaps one-third of our people. With this placed on the free list and Canada shipping it across Niagara River to America for from £1 to $3 less per thousand than our people oan manufacture it for"and pay men's wages," would call a halt somewhere. The mills would have to shut down or else reduce the price per thousand accordingly. You would not pay $7 a thousand for lumber when you could buy the same of another man for $5. No, reader, that is not human nature. Well, who is going to be the looser of this reduction in price ? l)o you think the man who owns the mill will say to you—.''well boys, owing to the free trade plank in Urover's platform I am compelled to sell my lumber for lesg this year than last, but 1 will stand the blunt and will pay you the same wages as when I was receivirg a fair profit for my production." No, boys, he won't do anything of the sort. I{o will say to his foreman, (t we have been compell ed to icducu the price of our lumber iu luuob per thousand. Lower the men's wages accordingly," hence you, like the miner will autfer more than your share of the free trade act. We a»k that you give the free trade I question a thought, The outcome u f tha bitter fight | that has beeu iu progress at Phila delphia for a week, between Oeneral Master Workuiau Powderly and Sec retary Hayes, is a complete viudi ! cation of Powderly and a complete | vindication of Hayes.

Dr. NcUnefler Tl>ii»ks Five Honrs n Day Long Enough In tlie Lower tirades. Superintendent of Public Instru tion Schaeffcr said to a llarrisburg reporter the other day, that refer ence would be made in his forthcom ing annual report to the movement in Pittsburg and other cities of a re form in the stuffing process in the public schools. "I should think that five hours a day is long enough for pupils in the lower grades," continued Mr. Schae ffcr. "It is the chief duty of the child to grow, and if the amount of work prescribed by the course robs it of the needed houis of sleep the teacher should diminish the work regardless of the danger of not pro moting all her pup,ls to the next grade according to the expectation of their parents." "The schools should be small enough," he said, "for the teacher to study the needs of each pupil. The wellfare of the child is of more con sequence than any course of study or an}' system of grading. Some American cities have reduced the school day to five hours in order to prevent such school diseases as my ope and the prostration of the ner vous system." The Binghamton llcrald is author ity for the statement that Congress man Scranton, editor of the Scran ton lit publican, and Col. Boies, millionaire editor of the 'Jribune, who recently sued each other for #IO,OOO damages, were on Sunday seated the usher, in the same pew, at the Mills meeting. Both listened to the sermon on "charity and brotherly lovn." and suddenly both editors turned face to face, em braced, and received the congratula tions of their friends. 'Tis well. Contest.
