Abbot, INsPRCTOR—- Abraham Byers, CHIEY oF POLICE-Sam’| Jones, RrREET CoMMIssioNER—Samael Addie man, ; UNJUSTLY ACCUSED.’ An article headed “X Protests’’ ap- peared i in the Mahaffey Valley Wave August 15th, which stated every thing but the truth in regard to the operators in Patton forcing their employes to employ a certain doctor for medical services. It states that the operators . have employed a certain physician by the month against the wishes of the miners. The COURIER representative inquired into the natter thoroughly and learned that it was not so. It is true that a physician has been indirect- ly employed and that any miner who wishes to secure ‘his services and pay a certain amount by the month can do so but is not compelled to. Another re-: port is circulated that the miners are. compelled to do their trading at a oer- tain store in Patton which is not the case at all. They can get credit at this store if they wish and have the amount taken out of their wages but, under- stand, they are not compelled to do so. | They have the privilege to go to any | - store and get eredit if it will be given | them. These reports have been going the rounds ever since the mines in Patton started and should have been corrected before this time. INCREASE OF CRIME. Lamotte regular trots appeared | ' with arms to enforce the functions of | ‘the government there would be war’ and 90 per cent. of the people would be . arrayed against the regularly consti- tuted authorities. That was the be- - ginning of the talk of a revolution and the press including all newspapers hav- ing any pride in the great American republic, with one accord put Debe down ss an adventurer unworthy of the following of one patriotic working man or anybody else, and at once seconded . every movement of the president to " suppress lawlessness. That is the part the press had in the affair. A AS ———— PATTON BOOMING. In speaking of the growing condition Ww of Patton the Johnstown Democrat has the following: “Six months ago the streets of Pat- ton, Cambria county, were mere strips of land mostly covered with stamps: and logs, with the exception of small portions of Magee and Fifth avenues, which were a series of irregular mounds and mudholes. Today they have been transformed into regular graded thoroughfares such as no one need be ashamed of. The principal strets have been graded in the most thickly settled portion of the town and miles of streets have been made passable by the removal of the stumps ind rubbish and sidewalks have been laid in all directions. Quite a number of new buildings have been erected this Sam- mer despite the strike - and Hard times.’ : : Real Estate Transfers, baugh, ‘Blacklick; consideration, $200 Mary J Wicks to John S Wicks, South Fork, $800 J L Spang} r to Swedish Evangelical Lutheran church, Hastings, $1 Samuel Wissinger to Jacob Giffin, Franklin, $1,700 : Alice Wharton to Edward - Bender, Patton, $135 George J Schwaderer to Apne Sch rer, Cresson township, $150 landus Rager to AmosDW Rager, Jackson, $10 Lake A Byrne to Susquehanna town- ship school district, Susquehanna, $50 Ferdinand Bittman to Cambria Iron company, Johnstown, $1 Cambria Iron company to Ferdinand Bittman, Johnstown, $1 German LL B & 8 Association: o Jo- seph Friedhoff, Dale, $51 : Chest Creek L & [ company to Isaac R Snyder, Patton, $225 Albert L Johnson to F W Otto, Johnstown, $600 John L Edwards to Peter Straws- baugh, Blacklick, $800 Mitchell Coal & Coke company to Gallitzin S8apply Co, Limited, Gallitzin, $100 Joseph 8 Yoder to Robert H Sayre, Trustees, Richland, $325 Chest Creek L&I Co, to Wm Dur- mill, Patton, $250 Snicide at Johnstown. About 3 o’clock last Thursday morn- ing Alderman William Bland, who for 15 years has been justice of the peace ‘and alderman in the Thirteenth ward , of Johnstown, went to eternity with with suicidal intent. He died before medical aid could be summoned. Mr. Bland was about 50 years ¢f age. Dur- ! ing his term of office as justice he bore a_good reputation until about four | years ago, or shortly after his election ‘as alderman, when he took to drink- ‘ing. During that time he acquired the ill-will of a number of his ward poopie, Statistics show that in 1850 one | And when he ran for re-election as “person out of every 3442 was a crimi- nal, in 1860 one in 1647, in 1870, one in 1174, in 1580 one in 885, and in 1860 one in 757. In other words, there are. nearly five times as many criminals in proportion to the poupulation now as there were forty years ago. To some extent this increase is accounted for by thé deputation of criminals from other countries to the United States, but the most plansible expla’ ‘nation lies in the tendency of our pop- alation to swarm into the cities and the | exceeding badness of our municipal | governments. The decrease of crime - cannot be accomplished either by more schools, as some reformers propose, nor by more jails and reformatories, as other and sterner philosophers sug- gest. . We have distanced the world in | building school houses and jails during the years when crime has made its most disheartening advances. How : would it do to seek to arrest crime in its hotbeds by reforming municipal administrations? Until the control of city governments is wrested from the “hands of political partisans who have no higher aim than personal emoln- ment, crime will continue to be winked .at whenever criminals can afford to pay well for immunity. THE CHAMPION SNEAK. Eugene Debs says if there had been a revolution at the time of the railroad | strike it would have been the fault of: the press of Chicago in particular and the press of the country in general. It is well to remind the readers of these things that issue from Capt. Debs that | _ he was the first party that talked of a revolution. That was when he began to fear the government would not al- | low him to blockade the mails and the | commerce of the land and tried the “bluff game by Qeclaring that the | alderman last March he was defeated by a Republican candidate, Mr. Bland also being a Republican. Shortly after his defeat it Is claimed he attempted sui. cide, but was unsuccessful, and about ‘a month ago made another attempt, ' which resulted likewise: Beech Creek Mile Book.

Women should stand on a perfect aquality with man in every sphere of intellectual endeavor, writes J. Mc- Donald Oxley in an article on ‘‘Post-- ; ] .

Whether the ballot bé women's right or not the privilege of post-graduate study unquestionably is, and neither she nor those who sympathize with her must be content until this is opened to _ ber in the fullest degree.
