The shareholders of thcdlnngow Hunk
not only lose what they had Invested,
hut the London Times thinks a call of
500 pounds per share extremely proba
ble. Under our American system of
(Government supervision, and frequent
examination, such misuse of the funds
of a bunk could not have occurred, nor
such a failure. It Is worth while to re
call this, while reflecting upon the ruin
this failure will carry to hundreds and
thousands of innocent persons.
Pennsylvania received one-sixth of
nil the awards made to American ex
hibitors at the Paris Exposition, which
indicates the largo share borne by our
Ktate in the great international display.
Had there been more time for prepara
tion after the exhaustion of the Centen
nial, our noble old Commonwealth
would have done far better. Hut the
ponderous nature of our products makes
nn exhibit so far away from homo very
laborious and troublesome. Our folks
did not have much faith in the business
value of these shows until they had a full
test in the Centennial.
Tnrc situation in Europe Is again be
ginning to look decidedly warlike, the
operations of Hussia in Turkey and Cen
tral Asia having forced England to en
deavor to arrange an alliance with Aus
tria and France in opposition to the
" Kaiserlmnd." This would serve the
purpose of those three Powers exactly,
and the alliance has been so obvious and
natural that Prince lllsmarck's labors for
and at the Berlin Congress were all di
rected to bucIi an arrangement as would
prevent that alliance. When Beacons
field rejected Prince Bismarck's sugges
tion of an adjourned meeting of the Con
gress, it was with this scheme held in
reserve to check llussia. The Austrian
operations in Bosnia have forced the
the question, and precipitated the open
alliance between Austria and England.
The French policy has not yetappeared.
Important for Voters and Election Officers.
Judges Ludlow, and Fell, of Philadel
phia, made the following decision which
effects the voters in Pennsylvania;
First. When is a man of the age
which entitles him to vote ? Answer
A person Is in point of law of the age
of twenty-one years the day before the
twenty-first anniversary of his birthday.
Hence a person the twenty-first anniver
sary of whose birthday is the Cth of
November, 1878, may vote at the general
election on the 6th of November, 1878.
This question has been settled from
time immemorial ; the reason assigned
by the authorities, is " that in law there
is no fraction of a day, and the count
on the last second of the other, then the
twenty-one years would be complete,and
in law it is the same thing whether a
thing is done upon one moment of the
day or on another."
Second. If a man, in contemplation
of naturalization, goes thirty days before
election and pays bis taxes on a legal
assessment for 1877, can he vote on that
tax receipt if otherwise qualified V
Answer Yes.
Terrific Storm.
On Tuesday night and early on
Wednesday morning a storm that may
be almost called a cyclone swept over
this State and extending In a greater
or less degree to the States East and
West of us. Around Philadelphia the
storm was particularly severe. The tide
in the Delaware rose to a height that
was never before known, filling the cel
lars on Deleware avenue and doing
much damage to property. At the foot
of Market street the water in the street
was over two feet In depth. In the
vicinity of Philadelphia the reports
so far in, the work of the wind and rain
can be summarized as follows: Eight
lives were lost and thirty persons injur
ed, some fatally ; nearly seven hundred
dwellings were unroofed ; sixty vessels
euhk and completely broken up; forty
Luildlngs totally demolished ; tbirty-five
churches relieved of spires and roofs;
seventeen school houses unroofed, seven
market houses and seven depots badly
damaged and two bridges blown down.
The greatest damage was done down
in the " Neck," where tho land was
overflooded by the rushing water.sweep.
Ingaway houses, barns and cattle In a
reckless manner, leaving two hundred
families homeless and penniless. The
unfortunates barely escaping with their
lives, being rescued by boats from the
second story of their dwellings. Ho far,
only one life has been reported lost
from drowning.
The damage among the shipping is
very heavy, as over twenty vessels and
tugs are reported sunk in the Delaware
and Schuylkill.
At Pottstown, Pa., the nail plate mill
of the Pottstown Iron Company wus
blown down, causing a loss of $'JS,()00.
The Madison bridge, spanning the
Schuylkill river, was almost complete
ly destroyed. Loss $10,000. J. Mingle
Fisher's steam mills were damaged to
the extent of several thousand dollars.
Many private dwellings were unroofed,
and two churches lost their spires.
Oeorgo W. lteagen was burled under
some fallen sheds and Instantly killed.
In New York the storm was not so
severe, but the damage done was heavy,
the greatest loss being among the ship
ping In the harbor.
At Chester seventy dwellings and
stores were unroofed, nineteen being
blown down altogether. Three churches
were partially destroyed and eleven
manufacturing places were so much
damaged that work will have to be sus
pended for a while, which will throw a
number of persons out of employment.
The damage to shipping is con slderablc.
The tide rose to a great height, washing
out many manufactories. Several
schooners and sloops were washed ashore
and ! canal boats, loaded Willi coal, went
to the bottom during the storm.
Storm Incidents.
Among the incidents of tho recent
storm, we note the following in Phila
delphia :
At 7 A. M. the back portion of the
house, No. 813 South Fifth street, oc
cupied by Dr. W. II. Myers, was de
molished, and the entire iron roof
carried away and deposited on an
other building over 100 feet distant, the
rufters and other debris falling in the
street and destroying a horse and wagon
that was passing by. A largo piece of
granite, bIx feet by four, being a portion
of the chimney, was also blown away, a
passer-by narrowly escaping injury as it
descended. The occupants luckily cs
caped. John Ailing, a ship carpenter, left
his home at 1911 Edgemont street, to go
to work, against the entreaties of Ids
wife. While on the way the storm be
came so furious that he sought the shel
ter of the Heading llailroad depot, on
Allegheny avenue, for safety. While
in there the roof was blown oir and he
was instantly killed. His dog, which
had accompanied him, refused to leave
the body.
An unknown mau sought safety from
the storm in Cedar 3 1111 Cemetery, at
Frankford, and was instantly killed by
a fulling tree. The body was removed
to the Frankford station house.
Lease of a Railroad.
Chicago, October 22. The Denver
and Klo Grande Itullroad has been leased
by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
road for thirty years, the lease to take
effect December 1. The first named
road is to receive forty-three per cent,
yearly, and will receive thirty-seven per
cent, from the seventh to the fourteenth
year. The San Juan silver mines are
to be opened through the grand canon
of Arkansas, and the ultimate design is
to connect with the Kansas Pacific.
This transaction will probably result in
a warm competition with the Union
Pacific for freight traffic.
A Father's Heroism.
Cincinnati, October 22. Early this
morning thed welling of Michael Reuter,
at the foot of Price's Hill, was burned.
Reuter upon awakening ran up stairs to
rescue his little daughter. In doing so
he was obliged to pass through the
flames. He found the child in her night
dress burning, and grasping her In his
arms forced his way back and reached
the ground in safety. The child was
badly burned about the face and arms.
Reuter received what will probably
prove to be fatal injuries, both arms
being burned almost to the bone, and
the flesh scorched off his back.
Attacking a Gang of Train Robbers.
St. Louis, October 20. Advices re
ceived from the West by the Kansas
Pacific Railroad Company say that the
Sheriffs of Saline, Rice, and Hays coun
ties, Kansas, with a strong posse of
men, attacked the rendezvous of a gang
of train robbers west of Brookfleld, on
the eastern borderof the Great American
Desert, some 200 miles west of Kansas
City, early yesterday morning. A noto
rious desperado named Mike Rouke, the
lender of the gang, wns enptured, and
Dan Dement was wounded, hut succeed
ed in effecting his escape. Three other
members of the gang fled, but the posse
immediately pursued them south toward
Fort Dodge. Mike Rouke was the leader
of the gang that robbed the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe train at Kinsley,
and the Kansas City, St. Joseph and
Council Bluir train at Wlnthrop some
months ago. It Is believed that his
capture will break up one of the strong
est and most desperate bands of robbers
ever organized.
Tho Track of the Tompest.
Washington, October 21. The
storm came from the tropics. At 11
o'clock on the morning of the 20th tho
Signal Service ordered up signals at
Key West, for a storm south of Florida.
On the morning of the 21st the storm
was to the southeast of Key West, and
on the morning of the 22d to the east of
Southern Georgia. At midnight of the
22d it was, with greatly Increased ve
locity, central near Capo Hatleras, on
the North Carolina coast.
Tho maximum velocity of tho wind
reported was 00 miles an hour. From
midnight to noon of yesterday the
storm, rapidly increasing in energy,
was central near Haiti more. The pres
sure at the centre, this morning, was be
low 20.0 Inches. It was attended with
an unusually heavy rainfall. Hero tho
fall was 8.51 Inches', at Baltimore, 2,1 1;
Norfolk, 'CM; Lynchburg, 2.01, and at

Married by Telegraph.
A strniigo wedding took place on
Thursday afternoon a week, In Wash
ington, 1). C, at least tho bride was in
that city, the groom being 8,000 miles
away, at Georgetown, Colorado. Tho
ceremony was performed by Rev. Geo.
Carpenter, and the high contracting
parties were Mr. Wheeler Ellis and Miss
Lina Sailors. The telegraph was em
ployed as a means of communication.
Mrs. Ellis then started for her new home
and husband in tho West. Tho wedding
day had been appointed, but Ellis could
not, owing to business engagements, bo
on hand. Tho young ludy's mother
would not allow her daughter to go
away from home unmarried, so at the
suggestion of the minister the marriage
was consummated by telegraph. The
parties are known In Washington, and
ihead'uirwas much commented upon
for its novelty.

McKlllop's Nose.
Edward B. SeeIey,of Cincinnati, came
to New York and pulled J. McKlllop's
nose. Mr. McKlllop is the head of the
mercantile agency of McKlllop, Spraguo
& Co. When Mr. Seeley camo to New
York it was to find out who hod been
giving what ho claimed to be unfound
ed Information to McKlllop's Mercantile
Agency. McKlllop refused to reveal
the name of their informant. There
upon Mr. Seeley suid if he could get
satisfaction no other way ho must ap
peal to the lex (allonis. So he applied
his thumb and finger to the nose afore
said and wrenched the same. Mr. Mc
Klllop sued Mr. Seeley for damages. The
case was tried before Judge Lawrence
in the Supreme Court, Purt II, and a
Jury returned a verdict fortheplalntifF
damages, $1.
Two Childron Convicted.
William and Edward Aslam, aged re
spectively six and seven years, were
convicted in the Paterson, (N. J.) court
of breaking, entering and stealing.
They broke open a chicken coop at two
o'clock in the morning and stole threo
chickens, which they were making off
with as they were arrested. They court
sent them to the state reform school.
They had not been home in three
months, during which time they had
begged their food and slept under the
flooring on the top of the abutment of a
bridge over the Passaic river.
How a Bird Broke its Neck.
The Reading Eaglea&ya : John Kline,
of Reading, says that recently, while
coming up from Philadelphia in a pas
senger car, he noticed a number of birds
fly to and fro a short distance from the
car. One of them, coming from a near
ly opposite direction from which the
car was going, in its rapid flight flew
into the car through the thin bars. It
struck Mr. Kline on the bosom and
dropped on his lap dead, having dislo
cated its neck. Its bill had penetrated
through his shirt and had pierced his
skin.
A Level Headed Man.
Mr. Clarkson N. Potter is evidently
not of those Democrats who fail to learn
anything. He says that If Congress
could be got rid of two years, it would
be a good thing for the country. We
are convinced that Mr. Potter's head is
amazingly level on one point, at all
events.
London, Oct. 22. The limited liabili
ty cotton spinning. compuuies of the
Oldham and Ashton Uyue districts,
publish very unfavorable reports of the
Inst quarter's business of thirty com
panies. One company will pay a
dividend of 41 per cent, per Annum,
nine report very small margins of
profit, and twenty report losses, some of
which are of serious magnitude. Fur
ther reductions of wnges are threatened
at Button, Oldham, and in the neighbor
hood. BrThe Indianapolis firntinnl says t In
the eastern part of Franklin county
there has, for a number of years past,
lived a man by the name of Applegale,
who had considerable property, but he
ing of weak mind was under guardian
ship. He is about CO years of age.
Some two weeks since, through the In
fluence of some parties, lie wns taken
over into O.ilo, and a license procured,
and married to a woman aged about
twenty-three years. Soon after the mar
riage the brlda procured some strychnine
to kill rats, and gave a dose to her hus
band, but fortunately he did not get
enough to have the desired efl'ect. She
was arrested and lodged in Jail.
83T It was In Barry co., Mich., where
a hule young fellow broke a double
barreled gun over the head of a decrepit
old man of 70, and wus lined only $10.
It Is thought that if the old mau had
been killed it would not have cost more
than $10.
O A Mr. Murphy, of Dubuque,
found a pocket book containing over
$2,r00 last week, and advertised and
discovered Its owner, to whom it was
returned. The latter, a saloon keeper of
Dubuque, ofl'ered $.r)00 us a reward for
his honesty, but Murphy would only
take $20.

tV " Wait a year," said Annie Johns
of Franklin comity, Ind., to tho young
man who proposed mnrrlngo, " and then I
will have money enough for us both to
livo on." Then sliu mauled a weak
minded, wenlthy old man named Applo
gute, and within a month, as charged, gave
him a doso of strychnine ; but tho poison
did not kill, and the lover will Lave to wait
more than a year for Aimio, without ever
getting tho money.
tW Ono night hiet week about a dozon
intoxicated tramps lay down to sloop ou
ono of the coke ovens near Fountain Mills,
Fayette county, Pa. Some time during

Chicago, Oct. 23. A dispatch from
Omaha says destructive prairie fires are rag
ing near Kearney, along the line of the
Omaha and Republican Valley in Folic
county and other sections of Nebraska, the
northeast portion of tho State suffering

will be immense. Soven persons have been
burned to death and a considerable number
of others severely injured. Particulars
cannot as yet bo learned.
E3T" Prince Bismarck is said to take
much better care of his life since it was
attempted by KullraanD. When in Berlin
be confiues himself almost absolutely to
his house and garden, which are carefully
watched at all times by policomeu in plain
clothes ; if compelled by his official duties
to visit the Palaco, he drives thither and
back in a close carriage with the windows
up, sitting well back, so as to be invisible
to passors-by. Varziu is as carefully guard
ed and as difficult to puuetrato as Mecca
itself; and at Laueuburg his park has just
beeu surrounded with a high wall, shut
ting it completely iu fiora the public ken.
CiT Parents should not full to notice
new advertisement in another column,
in relation to Children's Shoes. What
the Metal Tip has done for children's
heavy shoes, it is to be hoped this new
Tip will accomplish for the finer qual
ities. It is rather discouraging to buy fine
costly shoes for children with the feeling
that they will almost certainly be
through at the toe with the first few
days wear.
Parents will do well to look Into this
matter.
