A "sick" engine can not he handled with ease and haste, and the delay was hard to overcome. —At a union caucus held in La porte last week the iollowing ticket was named : Burgess, A.

Kentucky has long been i noted for its blue grass, iis people who are taller than most of us, bet-! ter drinkers of better whisky and skillful in horse breeding, and the j recent manner in whish they con- 1 duct state affairs shows that its de based politics,like its distilled liquor, I is incomparable. | —Wllliamsport, Pa., will proba ■ bly have the first opportunity to se cure the location of a factory for the manufacture of a patented automo bile the njotive power of which is hydro-carbon, and the operations are controlled by a single lever. It is invented by C. H. Harris, and is called the "Luxor." From indi cations, also the Stutzman automo bile will be made in Willtamsport, which town promises soon to become an automobile-manufacturing center. —What have those people to say now who offended against sense with their professions of faith in the magical potency of poor Goe ble's determination to live? Will power is a good thing for a sick I man to have, when there isn't much | the matter with him. It helps out | the doctor greatly. But all the will power in the world won't remove a j bullet hole from the human lung nor prevent internal hemorrhage. The armored trains have reach, ed a rather high state of perfection in the recent wars, and it is Inter esting to note tli it the first train of this kind was constructed in Phila delphia at the outbreak of the Re bellion. It was thrown together hastily for the purpose of protecting the bridges along the line of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal timore Railroad. —American competition with Ger many in iron and steel in their own markets was laughed at when it was first suggested, but develop ments show that the American met al is surely finding its way into generous use there. The value of j pig-iron, wrought iron, iron castings and hardware, bicycles increased from #2,380,000 in 1807 to $3,570,000 in 1808. This remarkable increase is viewed with alarm in the Fatherland. —The Cuban census supervisors have completed the enumeration of the population of Cuba, and the re sult have been submitted to Sec retary Root. The population of the entire island is 1,572,840, which is be tween 50,000 and 00,000 less than it was when the last census was taken by the Spaniards, in 1887. The population of Porto Rico is placed at 957, t>79. The last census taken in 18K7, showed a population of 800,708. —Goebel is dead. The vital spark lied Saturday evening, ending his desperate battle for life. Kentucky now has two Governors; neither is obeyed. Beckham who was sworn in as Lieutenant at the time Goebel took oath as Governor, has now been placed at the head of the Goebel movement. Taylor is also Governor and refuses to recognize either the authority of the legislature or the state courts. The latter sends sheriffs to serve their writs and the Govern or has them locked up; the former wants to convene but the state militia prevents it,by order of his Excelency G'ov. Taylor. The federal govern ment declines to interfere. How further blood shed is to be averted is not apparent. Taylor was elected by a majority of votes, as a result from a factional fight in the Demo cratic party. Goebel defeated at the polls, set out, with the aid of the legislature to steal the Governorship under the forms of law. Taylor de termined to resist the fraud by re sorting to force. These are the cold facts of the case, but, proving that Goebel was bad does not make Tay lor good, lawlessness figures conspic iously on his part. The sum of the matter is that Taylor has sought to meet fraud by revolution. If Goeb el was a scoundrel, it can lie retorted that Taylor is far from being a patriot. —The ladies of the Aid Society of the M. E. church, wish to an nounce that they are ready to take ill plain sewing and mending or to go ont by the afternoon. Any one interested in the work of the church is cordialy invited to join the Soci ety. Pres. llakkikt E. Gkimm. Sec'y, A<;xks I'i'MAX , POLITICAL. Governor Itoosevelt does not intend to be forced out of the Governor's chair by being nominated for Vice- President In the Republican National Convention. William J. Bryan, in reply to Bourke Cockran's recent interview, has de clared that he is as staunch a support er of free silver as ever, and will con sent to no truce that eliminates it from the campaign. Mr. Cochran, in answer to this, says substantially that candidates and leaders do not make issues, but the people, and that they will make Imperialism the decisive issue of 1900. Mr. Bryan is making political speeches in New England, whore ho is received by large audi ences. A ■ BTATHb OF THINGS. Why a Bride's Father Objsc'c to tlie Groom. Friends of Miss Nellie 'lVapp. <>( Whitestone, L. 1., who dared her fath er's anger to marry the man she loved, gathered at the railroad station at that place Jan. 31 to bid her farewell. When she arrived with her brides maid, Miss Mamie Gibbons, she hold nn impromptu reception. George Trapp, the bride's father, says:"l shall call upon my lawyer to disinherit my daughter and any of my children who attended the cere mony. 1 have many reasons for ob jecting to this marriage. I think Mr. Stewart is a poor minister of the gos pel. Once he refused to help a poor family in need because they did not belong to his church. Then 1 refused togo to his church and ordered him out of the house. He made love to iny daughter when she was doing church work." Miss Trapp is twenty-nine years old. She is Preedent of the King's Daugh ters' Society and was church organist. Mr. Stewart, the bridegroom, is a widower, fifty-four years old. For twelve years ho was pastor of the Grace Episcopal Church at White stone. He resigned his pastorate last December rather than give up his love for Miss Trapp. Since then he has been living with his sisters in New port. Mr. Trapp is a Democratic leader in the borough of Queens. He owns real estate and is reputed to be well to-do. He did not bid his daughter good-bye when she left her home. CASUALTIES.
