The waii news from Europe Is very
unreliable. It Is certain, however, that
there have been several skirmishes and
there are rumors of more severe engage
ments, but nothing positive In regard to
the fact or the result Is known. Itou
manla has taken sides with llussln, but
as yet nil other nations are neutral.
A tkrhiulk accident happened nl
Kockford, Illinois on Friday last. As
the workmen were raising the finishing
stone to the dome of the Court House
in process of erection, one of the walls
fell, burying a number of tho workmen
in the ruins. Ten or twelve men were
killed and ns many more seriously
injured. The building Is ft complete
wreck, and the recovery of the bodies of
the dead, and the rescue of the wounded
confined by the timbers was a work of
great danger.
The Philadelphia Korth American
says : " Many of the newspapers of
the Btate are urging that the railroad
companies shall ofler inducements to the
people by reducing their fares on certain
days to this city, and the suggestion is a
good one, and one which we trust will
be adopted, since it would bo advanta
geous to all parties."
We hope the railroads will do no such
thing. All parts of the country were bled
enough last year to keep them suf
ficiently depleted. We don't want any
more such drafts made on the country
for another hundred years at least, and
you will find few merchants outside of
Philadelphia who will not bear testi
mony to the evil effects of the centennial
upon the business of the country.
Women as Office Holders.
Governor Robinson, of New York,hns
vetoed the bill allowing women to hold
office on school boards. He says there
can be no reason that women should oc
cupy these positions rather than the less
responsible ones of supervisors, town
clerks, justices of the peace and numer
ous others. Under the constitution
women have no right to vote and it can
not be supposed that it is the intention
that persons not entitled to the right of
suffrage should be eligible to some of the
moet important offices in the State.
Are They Married?
Mr. Tony Fisher of Sing Sing insists
that Miss Libble Pnttison on a given day
became Mrs. Tony Fisher ; Miss Libbie is
' equally strenuous and emphatic in deni-
al ; and the Methodist minister who, ac
k'ording to Tony, jerformed the ceremo
jny is quoted as saying that he is ready
'to go into court at any moment and
make oath that he didn't.
Mrs. Knapp, of 367 West Twenty-sev-tnth
street. New York, at whose board
ing house Tony and Libbie stayed for a
few days after the alleged marriage, says
that they did not come to her house as
husband and wife, and that they occu
pied separate rooms. Tony made no
claim at that time that Libbie was his
wife ; Libbie said that she was not mar
ried to him. She further told Mrs. Knapp
that, when she got on the train at Sing
Sing to come to New York, she was
alone; but Tony followed her into the
i-ar, and took a seat near her, and kept
casting sheep's eyes at her. When she
reached New York and went to Mrs.
Knapp's, he followed her against her
wishes and engaged board in the same
house. She paid for her own board;
Tony did not even offer to pay for it.
Mrs. Knapp thinks that Tony is " not
exactly right in his head."
Tony belongs to & respectable family,
and has always been considered a model
young man. His friends scout the sug
gestion that he is deranged. Their be
lief is that the young lady really married
him, but now, for some unknown rea
son, Is wick of her bargain and wanta to
!at him oft'. She threatened to have
him arrested for perjury ,ln making oath
that she is his wife,-but as yet has not
-arrled her threat into ell'ect. -
A Remarkable Murder and Incendiary Case.
The urreht of Charles W. Cook and his
ttoufesslou of his part in the murder of
husan Hanson, in November, l&74,ls the
sensation of the day at Brookfleld, New
Hampshire and the surrounding sec
tloii. The case, which is thus reopened,
was a notable one on account of the high
(tending of the parties involved and the
mystery surrounding it. Miss Hanson,
who was one of the most highly esteem
ed women in tho town, had been engag
ed for several years to Joseph Uuzzell, a
wealthy fanner, but a few months before
the murder he married another, and
Miss Hanson sued hint for breach of
promise.
On the evening before the case was to
be tried, as Miss Hanson was sitting in
her kitchen, a charge of buckshot was
fired through the window, killlngherln
stantly. Suspicion naturally rested on
Buzzell, and he was tried, but acquitted
from lack of convicting evidence. Last
spring several barns of persons who tes
tified against Uuzzell were burned by in
cendiary fires, and, ns suspicion pointed
to Cook, who had worked for Buzzell,he
was arrested Saturday, when ho made a
clean breast, not only of the arson but
also of the murder of Susan Hanson.
He declares that, while he fired the fa
tal shot, liuzzell was the instigator; that
he offered him ?f0O fordoing it, and that
when Cook's heart failed him threatened
to kilt him If he did not fire. Uuzzell
and his wife have been arrested, and also
JoiuUhun Sanborn (Chttlrinan of thecoun
ty commissioners, ns an accessory. An
Interesting legal question arises as to the
disposition of nu.zcll, as, by statute, n
man cannot ty) tried tho second time for
the same offense, and some think he can
be tried only as an accessory in the ar
son case. There is also somo doubt as to
the course to, bo taken with Cook,asIUi.
Jicll cannot bo convicted as accessory to
the murder or arson with Cook's turning
State's evidence, which would exempt
him from the penalty for murder.
Terrible Mine Disaster.
St. Claik, Pa., May 0. A terrible ex
plosion of givsoccurred in the Wadesville
mines, near St. Clair, at about 10 o'clock
this morning, killing and wounding nine
men and imprisoning five others. The
Wadesville shaft, which is 800 feet deep,
is situated between Tottsvlllo nud St.
Clalr,and is operated by the Philadelphia
and Hauling coal company. The first
warning of an accident was tho sudden
alarm sent up to the bosses for aid. De
scending Immediately ,they recovered the
bodies of John Durkcn and Wm. Kirk,
w ho were killed outright, and hoisted
them to tho surface. Seven more men
were then reached, all seriously burned,
and it Is thought thrco of them cannot
possibly recover. Thomas Connors,
among tho last of tho men brought out,
had his head and both legs blown off.
His brains and portions of his head were
brought up In his dinner kettle.
Herbert Moore, another of the last vic
tims, presented a frightful appearance.
His face and body were dreadfully burn
ed and disfigured ; every hair was burned
off his head.
John Durkin was thrown with great
violence against props and walls and
was instantly killed.
Edward Weaklin, one of the miners
who escaped, describes tho gas' after it
ignited as Hying through the mine with
lightning rapidity and destroying every
thing that came in its way. .Weaklin
was loading a car, and on hearing the re
port, quickly stepped aside and laid
down and tho gas passed over him.
Thrco of the men who had been instant
ly killed had been working only twenty
yards from him. It was with much dif
ficulty ho escaped, crawling over fallen
timbers and coal. It soon became neces
sary to fan fresh air in the mine, so foul
had the gas become that those sent to
rescue the men could only work at short
intervals and then come out.
Curiosities of Lawsuits.
In Boston, a girl was engaged to a
man who jilted her. This was ten years
ago. She married somebody else. Re
cently she became a widow, and now she
sues the original suitor, because he will
not keep the old promise. In Minneapo
lis, a man is the complainant. He de
clares that his pocket nd his feelings
have suffered an injury equal to $10,000
by tho refusal of a wealthy widow to
marry him. She promised to do so, and
he gave up his business of liquor selling
to please her, thus causing his bank
ruptcy. In Montreal, a woman of forty
failed to secure a verdict against a boy of
eighteen, ire proved that he had never
meant nor promised to marry her, but
had regarded her rather in the light of a
motherly adviser.
C3T In Allegheny the other night a lady
supposed that a burglar was in her house.
She called for help, which promptly ar
rived In the persons of two men. One of
them entered the building from the front
and the other from the rear to intercept
the supposed burglar. While groping
through the dark hallway one of tho in
dividuals discovered what he thought
was tho lntruder,and immediately struck
him oyer the head with a gas pipe. Tho
other man grasped his assailant, dragged
him to the porch and threatened to throw
him to the ground, supposing him to be
a burglar, when the discovery was made
that the struggle had been between the
two friends who bad responded to the
lady's cries for assistance. They after
ward procured a light and searched the
premises for the burglar but were una
ble to find auy. . ,
The Rev. f. M. Btrathaui says in
the Loudon Quiver that, though not a
teetotaler, he Is an earnest temperance
man, and it staggers him to think that
thd British public has in eght years
drunk liquor to the amount of 800,000,.
000, which is more than the national
debt. So unpopular, he says, is the sub
ject, that" the leading writers of Eng
land touch very tenderly on this dark
spot in the history of the most drunken
nation under the sun. To take the very
lowest ground, this expenditure is," he
says, " extravagance, and leads to that
mortgnge of the morrow which robs
men of their peace of heart. Extrava
gance means begging, borrowing, stenl
ing, and it Is seen on all feldcs."
