Barn Gutted. 'About midnight Monday a barn on the alley opposite the rear of Henry's store caught fire,, probably from a sky rocket, and burnea stubbornly until about 2 .10 next morning gutting it thoroughly, When first seen the blaze was small and boys attempted to put it out by tearing off the shingles. The only thing accomplished was to let the burning shingles drop through into straw and in a few minutes the whole structure was in a blaze. The local firemen responded to the call of the hell and did good service, but It was difficult to extinguish the fire after it got into the baled straw. About a ton of baled straw belonffing to 8. C.

' , And Jefferies Couldn't Have Done It. Charles A. Scott, lineman on the Pennsylvania railroad, has been going around the past week with the ap pearance of a man who had been in a ten foot ring with Jim Jeffries, only, as "Charley" complacently remarks, Jeffries couid never have "done him up" half so bad. It took tbe careless ness of other linemen, tbe force of gravity, a thirty-five foot fall and a rock pile to do the work. Mr. Scott was up a telephone pole where the wires turned at right ancles when some one loosened the guy clamps. The pole bent, rebounded and broke, knocking Scott out Into the air heels over head for a thirty-five foot fall. He landed on his head on a pile of stones. By some miracle he retained con sciousness enough to get up and walk a few feet in a dazed way before be dis covered that his head was cut open, his ribs knocked askew, and his body a mass of bruises. Some one asked htm where his nose was. "Charley" felt for It and it was'nt there. It was finally located near bis left ear and twisted back again. Mr. Scott decided to come home and enjoy the big Fourth of July celebration while waiting for his head and ribs to heal. Will Visit Germany. Henry W.

Numerous Election Precincts'. following extract from tbe ad dress of the president of the Pennsyl vania Bar Association at its session last week at Cape May, is very. applic able to conditions existing tn this section; Speaking of the amendments of the constitution, . he said that tbe real object was to do away with the sc. called spring election. He regretted tbe fact that there was, back of the passage of- these amendments, an in creasing indisposition on the part of the people to go to any trouble in the per formance of their most responslole duties of citizenship. , For years past this tendency has been asserting itself in an inordinate demand for more numerous election precincts. Their multiplication has been counten anced in the hope of thereby minimiz ing tbe irksomeneBS to the voters of tbe exercise of their franchise and of en couraging a more general participation in elections. But "on tbe pasture of hope graze many fools. " says the Russian proverb. The upshot has been that the cost of elections has mounted up pro digiously, and the size of the vote polled, as compared with the growth of tbe population, has steadljy gone down. Latterly, save upon exceptional occasions of local or national concern, no election seems able to bring out even a decent proportion of the persons who ought to vote, and unhappily the stay-at-home element is largely made up of those presumptively best qualified to vote intelligently and most likely, if voting at all to vote honestly. The remedy now to be applied is to reduce the number of elections. That is to say, a man who has shown himself habitually indifferent to certain duties is relieved of part of them in the ex pectation that he will thereby be shamed Into a performance of tbe rest; a lazy school-boy systematically playing truant ia given a dispensation from at tendance upon certain days on the assumption that he will feel disposed to answer to the roll-call on the remaining ones. Drowned at Brockwayviile. Russell and Francis McCluskey, aged nine and seven years respectively, sons of James McCluskey, of Brockwayviile'', were drowned Thursday while swiming in the Little Toby creek near that place. No one witnessed the accident and It was only when tbe boys failed to come home that search was made. Their clothes lying on the bank of tbe stream gave the first hint of their fate. They had ventured into an exceptionally deep part of tbe stream and neither of the boys was able to swim in deep water, v Killed at Pittsburgh.' John H. Corbett, of this place, and F. G.' Corbett, of Prescottville. were called to Pittsburg Sunday by the death of ihelr brother, O. W. Corbett.
