BLAINE'S END IS NEAR.
IT 18 REPORTED THAT HE MAY
DIE ANY DAY.
Hl® Family and Physicians Now Admit
That the Very Worst Is to lie Feared
and the Famous Statesman May Never
Leave His lied Alive.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. —All day long Sun
day the life of James G. Blaine hung trem
bling in the balance. For more than an
hour in the forenoon hope was abandoned,
and the end was momentarily expected by
physicians, family and friends. All simu
lation was thrown aside in the apparent
imminent presence of death, and the sup
pressed facts of his illness—the long denied
but now admitted Bright's disease, the oc
casional intervals of delirium, the long
hours when he lay incapable of speech
or motion—these and other distressing
features of his illness, all incidental to the
one overpowering organic trouble, wore
admitted. His family were hastily called
round the bedside. The distinguished pa
tient lay unconscious and to all appear
ances dying until 1 p. m., when a slight
rally set in. His pulse, which had almost
ceased to beat, became again perceptible
# and partial consciousness was restored. At
2 p. m. his physicians, Drs. W. W. John
ston and Hyatt, considered him so much
improved as to render their constant pres
ence at the bedside unnecessary.
An 111 Fated Mansion.
All day representatives of the press pa
trolled Madison place and carefully watched
the old red mansion, which has become cele
brated for its historical associations and
the fatality with which misfortune has fol
lowed its occupants. From the Sickles-
Keys tragedy, which occurred more thau a
third of a century ago, followed by the at
tempted assassination of Secretary Seward
during the last year of the civil war, down
to the present time, the pall of ill fate has
hung over the mansion.
During the less than four years' occu
pancy of this house by the Blaine family
the ex-secretary's daughter, the wife of
Colonel Coppinger and Walker and Em
mous Blaine, the ex-secretary's promising
sons, have died.
President Harrison, accompanied by his
private secretary, Mr. Ilalford, walked over
from the White House to the ex-secretary's
residence in the evening to personally
inquire as to his condition, and ex
pressed relief and gratification at being in
formed that there had been some abate
ment of the more alarming symptoms. The
excitement throughout the city was in
tense as the news of Mi. Blaine's condition
spread, and, Sunday though it was, the
newspapers issued extras, which found a
rapid sale.
Mr. Blaine's Heroism.
Of late Mr. Blaine's physical condition
has been such that he has at times given
way to despondency. While manifesting
no fear of death, Mr. Blaine has often said
that he did not want to die. "In fact,"
says an intimate friend of the family, "Mr.
Blaine has fought death with sublime her
oism. The world knows how ambitious he
was and also knows how much he accom
plished iu the pursuit of his ambition. And
yet he dies a disappointed and, I was about
to say, a heartbroken man, but that would
perhups be putting it too strong. I once
heard him say that, after all, ambition was
an ignis fatuus and that all the world was
hollow outside of one's family."
At a late hour Drs. Johnston and Hyatt
saw Mr. Blaine and gave out for publico- ;
tion the following statement:
"Mr. Blaine seems to have rallied en- ;
tirely from his weakness of the morning, '
and appears to be as well as at any '
time within the past week. While it is not
possible to say what changes may take
place in his condition, he can be said to be
in no immediate danger."
p No Change for the Worse.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.— There has been
some improvement in Mr. Blaine's condi
tion since Sunday. The reports given out j
from the red house where the patient
lies were more cheerful. He slept well
and naturally, qud as a result substantial |
change for the better was noticed. The j
malady is organic, however, and in the j
nature of thingH must grow worse with
time. No one sees Mr. Blaine but his wife, j
the nurses and the physicians. Mr. Blaine
is conscious and appears somewhat cheer
ful. He is very weak, but takes nourish
ment regularly.
To a reporter Mr. J. G. Blaine, Jr., said
his father seemed to be holding his own,
and the family hopes that he may yet sur
vive Christinas and even a longer period.
Dr. Johnston is not so sanguine us the
members of the family, but declines to in
dulge in speculation as to when the end
may come. He does not anticipate any im
mediate collapse, though he admits that
Mr. Blaiue may he attacked by heart fail- I
ure at any moment.
There is still a mystery surrounding the j
disease from which Mr. Blaine is suffering, j
and none of the doctors interested in the
case can be induced to disclose the secret.
It is said that if it were made public it
Avould open a large field for discussion that
• Would he intensely disagreeable to his
family and friends. The opinion has been
gaining ground steadily that there is some
thing more the matter than Bright's dis
ease or consumption.
Whatever it may he, it is admitted that
the disease Ims made such inroads upon
his constitution that there can he hut the
very slightest thread from which to hang
any hope of his living for even a short
space of time.
Fleeced by Green Goods Men.
CARLISLK, Pa., Dec. 21.—Ephraim
of Mount Holly Springs, and his uncle,
Samuel Royer, went to New Jersey and
paid SSOO for $3,000 in green goods.
When they opened the box they found it
coutained strips of paper.

AT THE INSTITUTE.
I Tlio Txacliem Aro Having an Enjoyable
Time at the County Seat.
I Over 600 teachers aro attending the
i Luzerne county institute at Wilkes-llarre
this week. The teachers are receiving
considerable instruction from the num
erous lectures which are given at every
session.
The follow ing are some of the notes
about lower end teachers, taken from
the Newsdealer;
Foster and Freeland can well feel
proud of their lady teachers, for they
stand well in the foreground both in re
gard to ability and beauty.
Hugh Gallagher and J. C. Simmons
are without doubt the tallest teachers in
the lower end.
Rachel James and Ella Campbell, the
only resident teachers of Eckley, con
tinually wear a smile. Why is this
thusly, girls?
Miss Quirk and Miss Kate Cannon, of
Hazle township, are ardent admirers of
Prof. Nelson.
The ladies think Mr. Hanlon, of F'ree
land is quite nice.
George T. Brown, one of Foster' most
successful teachers, is one of the most
attentive listeners at the institute.
Miss Bella McGill, of Highland, was
an attentive listener, unconscious of the
many admiring glances cast at her.
Miss Susie Gallagher, of Freeland,
used up several note books.
Miss Cassie Furey, of Jeddo, ex
changed penmanship with several gentle
men friends.
John Turnbach, of Hazleton, was the
recipient of many scented notes.
Mr. Costello was the recipient of a
Christmas present. It is a.hoy.
Miss Nellie Christy, of Ebervale,
adorns the institute with her presence.
Prof. John D. Herrnn and John T.
Brady, of Freeland, were seen on the
streelH inquiring for Wonderland after
the afternoon session.
Miss Maggie Lawlor was even more
popular than last year.
Judging from the number of pages
Prof. McNulty tore from his note book
he must he very popular.
Prof. Frank Dever has becoipeabene
dict since last year.
There are some very pretty teachers
from the lower end, and as they all keep
together they attract a great deal of at
tention.
Last year John M. Carr thought that
Ella Quinn and Agnes Monahan, of
Avoca, were the two most attractive
teachers at the institute. He has
changed his opinion girls?
If comparing notes is any evidence
Prof. Goujgh, of Hazleton, was deeply
interested.
Miss Maggie Look man, of Hazle town
ship, occupies a seat in the rear.
Ed. Byrnes, of Hazleton, is taking
dancing lessons at the Bristol House
after the lectures.
We heard a young lady remark that
Mr. Dwyer, of Hazleton, was real cute.
The two Miss Lindsays and Miss Gal
lagher, of Freeland, are on hand.
Miss Maggie Lockman lost her purse
during Tuesday's morning session. It
was returned to her.
Contractor and Money Gone.
William Walker, a stripping contrac
tor at Milnesville, went to Hazleton on
Monday and drew SIOOO from a hank to
pay his employes. A few hours later
he rushed back to town and told a sen-,
sational story of being held up and rob
bed by six men between Harleigh and
Milnesville.
liis story was of such a suspicious na
ture that all to whom he told it doubted
its truthfulness. Several officers started
in pursuit of the supposed robbers, and
during the excitment Walkerdisappeared
and nothing more has been heard of
him.
It is now believed that he gave the
money to a partner of his, a woman re
siding at Ilarleigh, with whom he had
matters arranged to meet him elsewhere.
Besides the laborers' wages he owed
a considerable amount through Hazleton.
Undertaker Phil Boyle had a bill against
him for over SIOO, the expenses of the
funeral of his brother, who was killed
last week in the Milnesville explosion.
An attachment was issued upon the con
tractor's property, and four horses and
harness were secured by Mr. Boyle.
The workmen, who are nearly all Ital
ians, are very angry over the loss of
their pay, and will make short work of
Walker if they find him.
At Hi® Old Trick® Again.
"Lark" Sweeney, who on several oc
cassions victimized a number of our
citizens, was at his old tricks again on
Monday night. At a late hour he went to
the hotel of Otto Brien and represented
himself as a brother of P. F. Boyle, who
lives just across from Brien's.
He told Brien that he had not seen
his brother (Boyle) for sixteen years,
having followed the business of stock
raising in the far West, and that he had
just arrived with a car load of horses
which he had in keeping at Thomas'
stable.
He paid for a night's lodging, hut yes
terday is when he got in his big time.
He ordered drinks by the dozen and
then refused to pay for them. Brien
began to become suspicious and made
inquiry, when he found the fellow an
impostor, and demanded his money.
"Lark" escaped.— Standard.

FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA., DECEMBER 22, 1892.
HIGHLAND DOTS.
The attempt made to murder Steve
Shandock on Saturday evening, while
on his way home from Freeland, is the
the whole topic of conversation here
and has caused no end of excitment.
For several months past quite a number
of our residents have been beaten and
relieved of their money on this road and
none of them can give any clew to the
parties who commit these deeds. This
is the case with Shandock, who is fore
man at the stripping here, and it is
thought that the plot originated from
this source, as he is not very well liked
by many of the men over whom he has
charge, and several times violent threats
have been made against him by these
men.
However, none of them were carried
into effect until Saturday evening when
.Shandock, in company with his step
brother, Lasslo Jerry, and another rela
tive, John Uhas, were coming home
from Freeland. Near the Sandy Run
cross road they met four men who began
talking to Shandock and went with him
down the path which leads to the lower
end of town.
There is a cavein on this path which
is about twenty feet deep. Here they
stopped. Jerry and Uhas, who were
ahead, went on toward home. One of
the party asked Shandock if he was the
stripping boss. He said he was. Then
he was knocked down and beaten
brutally, and when they thought he was
about dead they threw him down the
cavein.
Jerry and Uhas waited for sometime
at the house, and as Shandock was not
coming they went in search of him.
When they came near the cavein the
gang was there vet and gave them a ter
rible beating. Uhas escaped with slight
injuries, but Jerry had an eye knocked
out and was otherwise badly injured by
being stabbed with a knife. The alarm
was given and some of their countrymen
assisted them home, where they are
lying in a critical condition.
Thursday was pay day here, and while
Joseph Bersinsky was coming from Free
land to this place on that evening he
was "held up" and his whole pay taken
from him.
James Oliver, of this place, and Geo.
Freed, of Weatherly, will shoot for $l5O
a side at Jeanesville ball park on Mon
day. Each man will shoot at eleven
birds.
Our townsman, Patrick J. Gallagher,
announces himself as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for tax col
lector, and will make a spirited tight for
the honor. Highland can't be over
looked by the party managers at the
convention.
Mike McMahon removed his family
from here to Pinkash on Tuesday.
Daniel Hugo and wife made a trip to
Laurytown on Friday.
Patrick Murrin is on the sick list at
present.
George Slowitsky was injured in No. 1
slope on Saturday by coal falling on him.
One of our foreign-born residents
created a stir on our streets by flourish
ing a revolver at a lot of Sunday school
children who were coming home. Too
much polinky did it.
Herman Grossman has a child lying
very ill.
James Lawson was called to Wilkes-
Barre on Saturday evening. His mother
is lying dangerously ill.
The election board officers received
two dollars additional from the commis
sioners last week for their seryices at
the last election.
E. G. Hick, of Hazleton, was in town
on business last week.
It is said that the company intends
painting the houses here in the near
future.
George Wisco returned from the Haz
leton hospital on Friday evening.
Frank Pronosky will be married to a
lady from Oneida on Christmas Day,
David Watkins was interviewed on
the road between here and Freeland on
Saturday evening by unknown parties,
but it availed them nothing.
Albert Grossman is on the sick list.
The Miracle® of Ye®ter<lay and Today.
Yeno is ,the most popular medicine
man in Great Britain, and his reputation
is growing like wild-fire in America.
Ten million people, including the Free
land druggists, praise and recommend
Veno's remedies. No matter how bad
you are, no matter how many doctors
you have visited, when all else fails,
Veno's remedies send a dispatch with
the rapidity of lightning to the affected
parts and disease disappears like smoke
in the air.
This is to certify that I, Geo. Petrouse,
106 Second street, Drifton, have been
suffering for twelve months with rheu
matism and for the last seven weeks 1
have been unable to work owing to the
pain and stiffness I had in my shoulders.
When I was treated once with Veno's
electric fluid I was able to raise my arms
above my head, and swing them about
freely without pain, which I had not
done in seven weeks I am now cured
and have no pain since.
Yours truly,
GEORGE PITI OUSE.
Veno's electric fluid will certainly cure
rheumatism, sciatic pains, lame back,
neuralgia and tightness of the chest.
Veno's curative syrup is the quickest
cure in the world for nervousness, dys
pepsia, liver complaint, kidney disease,
impure blood and female weakness.
Sold attheJFreeland drugstores. 50cents
per bottle. Ask for Veno's and take no
other.
