The FniLAWELriitA, Evening Star, is
one of our favorite exchanges. It is al
ways full of news, served up in a brief
readable form, and is always reliable.
Probably, these facts account for its
large and rapidly growing circulation.
Tiie Bkibeuy cases are given addi
tional interest from the fact that all the
convicted persons who were to be sen
tenced on Monday of last week failed tJ
appear and left the State. Mr Ketnble

burg, and Is, at the time this Is written,
in Atlantic City though not only his
Whereabout is known but the present
stopping place of the others, so far no
steps have been taken to uphold the
majesty of the law, except to declare
their bail forfeited.
Labor Troubles In Louisiana.
The labor troubles in St. John's par
ish La., la continuing. Gov. Wiltz has
ordered a battalion of militia under Ma
jor II. B. Pleasants to the scene of dis
tuibance. It is said that the strikers are
not content with stopping work them
selves, but have assumed the right to
Interfere with others who are willing to
work, and in many cases have seized
and whipped laborers who refuse to obey
the commands of the strikers.
A Remarkable Scene at an Execution.
Washington, April 2. James Mad
ison Wyatt Stone, a mulatto, about 30
years of age, was hanged in the jail
yard this afternoon for the murder of
his wife on the night of October 6th,
1878. The gallows was 20 feet high,with
a platform ten feet square and a drop of
about 5 feet.
At 1.10 P. M., the noose was placed
about Stone's neck, with the knot under
his left ear. The signal was then given
and the drop fell. The body fell to the
ground, and it was supposed flie head
had slipped through the noose, but in
an instant the head, which had been en
tirely severed from the body, fell from
the noose, about four feet from the body.
Blood spurted from the body and spat
tered the beams of the gallows, but in
two minutes all muscular action had
ceased. The head was picked up by a
physician. The face appeared placid,
and the lips moved as if about to say
something.
Terrific Explosion,
The Altooua Tribune says : Last even
ing about 7:30 o'clock the people in the
vicinity of Twefth street bridge were
startled by a tremendous explosion,
which in a few minutes was followed by
a second one more violent than the first.
In the yard about opposite Eleventh
street stands a brick one story building
in which is situated a small engine and
several gas tanks. The engine is used
to pump illuminating gas from the city
works and store it in reservoirs under
heavy pressure, to be run into the tanks
on the passenger cars. Last evening one
of the men smelt escaping gas, and in
order to find where it came from lighted
a match and began to run it along
the pipes. In an instant the whole room
was filled with flames and its four
or five occupants were thrown against
the walls and celling. The floor was
ripped up and the force of the explosion
seemed to come from there although
there is said to be no cellar. Three of
the men, D. W. Dlven, Johu Stutzman
and Thomas Hammill, all company
employes, and nil residents of Harrls
burg, were badly burned about the face
and bands, and one of them bad his leg
badly bruised by being thrown against
the ceiling. Fibber, the engineer, was
also slightly injured. The second ex
plosion Mew the two side brick walls out
and fft the whole end of the bouse on
Are.
A New Hoax.
The Couyers Weekly, of Georgia,
says: Quite an interesting little afluir
took place on Mill street the other eve
ning. 1 1 was a little past sunset, when
a person, seemingly a very old woman,
came limping up to the house of one of
our best citizens on said street. She
passed through the gate, and when ac
costed at the door, by "What do you
wlshr1" said: " I have Just been thrown
from my buggy and nearly killed, and
my old wan is lying just down the road
yonder, with the old horse upon him,
and unless he Is moved he will be dead
in a few minutes."
The women folks were all out, and the
citizen put off at a two-forty rate to re
lleve the supposedly Buffering old man',
leaving the old woman in the house
alone. He soon found that it was all
a hoax, and returned to find a dilapida
ted old dress aud bonnet lying In the
hall, and a long, lean tramp moving
through the back gate, with about half
of his Bupper and his best coat. He gave
chase, but to no purpose.
The residence of Mr. Charles B.
Easly, formerly of Allegheny City, but
now a resident of Edenburg, Lawrence
county, caught fire about 2 o'clock on
Thursday afternoon of last week, and
was burned to the ground. The cause
was a defective flue". Nearly all the con
tents were saved. The loss was about
$3000.
At a sale oT personal property of
Andrew StaufTer, in Marlborough twp.,
Montgomery county, a few days ago,
there was a large gathering and two
young women fell out over some Blan
derous words applied by one to the oth
er. They clinched and in a few minutes
both were lying on the floor in a furious
embrace, when the spectators of the
sterner sex interfered and prevented
bloodshed.
At the saw-mlll of W. II. Gay &
Co. last week a large log was placed on
the carriage and the saw set a going,
when all of a sudden there was a crash,
a striking of fire and a demolished saw.
An examination showed that a piece of
a shell fired during the war had been
imbedded in the tree, the bark had
grown over the wound and no outward
sign remained. The saw was very bad
ly damaged. Suffolk, Va., Herald.
Fond of Relics.
An instance of the love of many peo
ple for things morbid was shown at the
auction sale of the property of a murder
ed man in Ohio on Saturday week. Four
chisels and a hatchet brought $10 ; pic
tures of Brown, his wife and her guilty
paramour brought $20, and other things
in proportion. All the personal effects
sold for nearly a $1,000. Almost every
thing was bought as a relic. At the con
clusion of the sale the crowd overran
the premises, tearing nearly all the shin
gles off the house, and cutting off pieces
of the fence and barn as relics.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, March 81, 1880.
There has been an appearance of busi
ness in the House lately, aud the appropri
ations Committee has showed signs of life.
The Consular and Diplomatics appropria
tion bill was passed yesterday Just as it
come from the committee. The only de
bate of interest, was on a proposition of
Mr. JJlaokburn to dispense with the ser
vices of Foreign Ministers, to compel
them to remain at thoir posts, &o, all of
which were talked over in a lively maimer.
Probably there will be greater activity in
Congress during the next few weeks than
at Buy time since the fii'Bt ten days of the
session.
It will be remembered that the House
some days siuce agreed to a "rider" on a
deficiency appropriation bill by which the
special deputy Marshals election Marshals
should be elected from the various po
litical parties. This "rider" the Republi
can Senators will oppose to the bitter end.
Without expressing an opinion as to the
desirability of dividing up these or any
other i Ulcers among the parties, I cannot
help expressing a hope that the subject
w ill bo fully discussed, and In that case
the rider will be defeated. My reason for
this is that the political affairs have no
proper place in these or any other bills.
We ought not, under any circumstances,
to legislate for party advantage.
In purely Presidential matters, there
seems in the last week to have beeu a rise
in the Grant stock in the South, and of the
Blaine stock in the East and West. The
Grant men are making great endeavors to
capture Iowa and Kansas. But the Blaine
men seem to be in the majority. An im
mense silout strength is claimed for Grant.
But we fear it will never make Itself felt or
heard. Iluueock stock has taken a rise,
especially in the South, and his friends
hope that before the Convention meets in
Juue, that Tilden himself, will be a Han
cock man.
Secretary Sherman has gone to Ohio,
but the man who is capable of suspecting
that this trip has any connection with his
presidential scheming, hns no appreciation
of that high sense of public duty which is
the mainspring of all Mr. Shermau's acts.
Mr. Wood gave notice in the House
yesterday that as soon as the pending
appropriation, aud the Indian bill were
through, be would call up his refunding
bill. Olivk.
