VOL. 14. MT. PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND CO., PA., TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1880. NO. 15. EDITORIAL NOTES. SERIOUS trouble Is anticipated in the Hocking Valley region over the intro-duction of coal-cutting machines. 1)isi'.vrclies from Washington state that our Congressmen are out of sorts. Many of their constituents wish they were out of seats, too. Kuoui.o our Sam ltandall make a light against Wallace, the Clearfield Senator would hardly be given a chance to de-cline the Gubernatorial nomination. 1 c wliat Editor (Sitting’s divorced wife lias to say of him is true lie would make a rather unworthy conns belli. She says lie deaertciHfrom the rebel army, was a drunkard and good for nothing generally. A MEMBER ofCouncil said t lie reason lire plugs were not put in along the pipe line on Church and Main streets, was that it would not be fair to lay a general tax for the privilege enjoyed by but few. An ex-cellent reason, but why not make the privilege conform with the tax by ex-tending the pipes? A CENTURY ago, when the forests of Western Pennsylvania rang with the echoes of the pioneer’s axe and the han-dle of the plow gave place to the trigger of the rifle when the redskins became too numerous, the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette first saw the light of day. From the days of Washington to the days of Cleveland it has consistently upheld the doctrines which built up the nation and wove about its brow the never dying emblem of freedom to all men—except-ing the Chinese. The steady old sheet has witnessed the rise, progress and fall of scores of would-be rivals, yet it stands to-day a fit representative of the pro-gressive journalism which leads the ad-vance of civilization. Ever ready to battle for the right, as the journal seeB the right, the Commercial Gazette, having passed the portals of one century and having crossed the threshhold of a sec-ond, is entitled to the universal congrat-ulations which its younger brethren, both of town and country, have united in heartily extending. Among others more worthy allow a youngster of four-teen years to hand up its card. DREADED TYPHOID. CHAUTAUQUA 1MVEKSITY Or. Sntvely Make* a Post Mortem Exam-tnntion of a Wont Bliznbetli Victim. Thursday Dr. Sniyely, of the State ’Hoard of Health, went to West Eliza-beth and held an autopsy on the body of Robert Graham. He was assisted by Drs. Pierce and McGrew, of Elizabeth. The examination proved conclusively that the man’s death resulted from ty-phoid fever of a malignant type. Wil-liam McCarkey, another of Wednesday’s victims, was found to have died from the same disease, although no post mortem was held. Dr. Naively also made an ex-amination of the water from several of the wells in the town, and as a result ordered two of them to be closed lip. He found considerable organic matter in the water, but did not carry the anal-ysis far enough to determine whether or not they contained fever germs. No far seven deaths have occurred from this treacherous disease. An Old Book. Mr. David T,ash, of West Newton, had a very old commentary on the liible which ho said would be given to any one who could road it. The book was prin-ted iu London in 1(170 by Jacob (’testier, with two columns to the page, one in Latin,the other in Greek. In old Eng-lish typo, tho task of reading was by no moans an easy one oven for the lino scholars of to-day. President DoDong, of Lebanon Valley Colloge, who was hore last week, however, carried off the prize by reading to tho astonished owner numerous extracts from the an-cient volume.

EDITOR JOURNAL:—It is the purpose of (his letter to fulfill my promise to say more about Chautauqua University. There is of course no other such a uni-versity in this country, nor in any other —a sort of university in camp. It is well known that perhaps a dozen col-leges in our country, and some in Can-ada and in England, grant A. M., (Mas-ter of Arts) and Pli. D. (Doctor of Phil-osophy) ike., to college graduates after they have pursued a two or three years’ course of study (post graduates;) while others make those degrees practically honorary. The colleges which prescribe A. M. and l’h. D. courses of study ditl'er on one point, viz : Nome require one or two years’ residence and attendance up-on recitations and lectures, while others grant these degrees to non-residents, re quiring written examinations by corre-spondence. THE AIM OK CHAUTAUQUA UNIVERSITY seems to be au imitation on a very large scale of those colleges which grant di-plomas to non-residents. Chautauqua I'niversity proposes to open its doors, not to college graduates especially, but to everybody ; not to pursue post gradu-ate branches, but all ordinary branches; not simply the usual academic branches, but any branch demanded, even to cook ery. Ileing unlike all other institutions it has no traditions to follow, and hence teaches eight or ten languages, and no mathematics. The sciences are mixed; hut every year or two adds a new depart-ment, and whereunto it will grow no one can guess. I feel pretty sure that it will never outgrow I)r. Vincent's imag-ination. THE C. 1.. S. f. now numbers 300,000, and will soon reach half a million. Hut this is only one department of this university. The Teachers’ Reading Fnion isan imitation of the (’. I.. N. ('., but the subjects have reference to teaching. There is hope that it will rival the C. I,. N. C. as a Chautauqua Normal. This is the young-est child of Chautauqua. Of the oilier lepartments we may mention music, art, day modeling, cooking, calisthenics, elo-cution, book-keeping, stenography, type-writing, and so on endlessly, Nome one will want to know how much of this mixture will procure a degree, say A. I!., or I’ll. D.V Well, this will be determined in time, but so lar the num-ber desiring degrees is largely in excess if those w ho are earning t hem. Hut we must caution young people against the supposition that a course in this institu-tion is, in any important sense, a sub-stitute for a training in a sdiool with daily class recitations. Chautauqua is not a substitute for a college, or an academy, but it is an at-tempt to get persons to pursue as fully as they may be able iu their own homes and at Chautauqua any one of a dozen or more prescribed courses of study, and upon its completion and a moderate ex-amination to receive a diploma. Then, to increase the inducement to subse-quent study, seals arc granted of various colors, blue, white, gold, &v., each being a grade higher than tlie one next below it in rank. A Doctor Eaton, of Frank-lin, is said to have earned so many that there is no more room on his diploma for seals. These are, we presume, partly for success in courses in the C. L. N. C. In short, the attempt is to get persons who cannot or will not go to an institu-tion of high grade to pursue moil (TRADE STUDIES AT HOME. To this end text books are prepared such as this class of students can use. In Ibis way it is hoped to secure for tens of thousands a lair education, a relish for study, and the beginning of a good library. As an example witness the studies of tho C. L. N. C. Nome will doubt the wisdom of such a university, but tho demand for it is proved by the more than a quarter of a million C. I.. S. C.’s now enrolled, it is proper toask whether the C. 1.. S. C. is not, after all, the chief feature of this now famous university. Personally we believe it is, but Dr. Vincent would hardly agree to this. Hut, even though it be admitted that the C. L, N. C. is its leading department, Dr. Vincent would claim that this is only for the time being, since the other departments are equally in demand and will soon rival it. So far as actual teaching is done on the ground, the most thorough work is done in the School of Languages. Here the best of talent is sought for teachers, and the most modern methods are adopted. The Latin class begins witli Cicafr, tiie German teacher uses German only, and expects his classes to do likewise.’ One result is enthvsiasm, which is a most valuable contribution to success in any-thing. German and French sociables are held, and the chatting dope in Ger-man and french. THREE ( (.ASSES oy I'EOPU: are noticeable at ('hautauqua—the C. L. S. C.’s, school teachers and boarding-house keepers. The first class are re-puted for their Socratic wisdom; the second are usually unmarried women, about whose ages it is safest not to in-quire, and the last class, the b. b. k.’s, are usually women who impress you with tiie conviction that they are very anxious to get their harvest in. We cheerfully own to a good deal of admi-ration for each class. We met a woman who hud come alone from Dakota to graduate in the C. L. S. C. We over-heard another woman asking tiie Greek Professor important questions about Homer. She was intensely interested in this great Greek, was reading the best translations she could get—she is about sixty years old. Then tliose lady teach-ers in tiie school of languages, pedagog-ics, calisthenics, and so on—they are about as substantial a body of women as could be found on the continent. They evidently mean business; they qeYVI wrdk with a loitering gait; if they walk, it is because they aye gojpg somewhere and mean to get there pretty soon ; they need no escorts ; and how they do study ! One of them tohl a professor that stie was afraid to go to sleep at night for fear she would miss something—a lecture, concert or lesson—she was anxious to get. They dress tor comfort and for work. The various professors in Hie school of languages lecture on subjects and persons pertaining to their respective languages, usually at 4 p. in. At 5 p. nV. there are tourists’ conferences andG. L. S. C. meet-ings in smaller places of meeting. In tiie Amphitheatre, where three thousand may gather, are held about four services a day. lectures, concerts, conferences and so on.

Association, at Cniuiollsville John Hart,of Wheeler,president of the Miners’ and Laborers’ Amalgamated As sociation, mot death in a terrible man ner Wednesday night, in the upper yard of tiie Baltimore ami Ohio road at Con-nellsville. He had started to walk from Connellsviile to his home and sat down on tiie track near some gondola cars loaded with iron ore to rest and await some friends who were behind him. An engine backed against the cars, causing them to run over him. His right leg was broken in several places and liis left leg was nearly cut oil'. When found neur midnight lie was still living. Tin string of cars was so long that tiie shift ing engine was not able to move Hie car from its position. Men were sent to tiie shops for jacks and by this means the car was finally hoisted ami tiie mangled man removed. All this time Hart suf-fered untold misery and begged of those present not to nllcrw his wife to see him until lie was dead. The unfortunate man was taken to tiie D office and med leal aid summoned. Dr. T. 11. White who attended him, saw at a glance that to save his life was impossible, and tiie priest was SBnt for. The injured man asked to have ids limbs amputated, but tiie doctor assured him that it would only be death to administer chloroform for the purpose at that time. A small amount of chloroform was used to dead en tiie tdrrible pain, but nothing else could be done for him. lie lingered until after six o'clock Thursday morn ing, remaining conscious until within a few minutes before deatli ended liis suf-ferings. liis friends were notified and liis remains were taken to l’orter’s un-dertaking rooms, where tiie body was dressed and placed in an elegant casket. Air. Hart was about 33 years old and leaves a wife and four children. He was born in England of Irish parents, and came to this country and settled in tiie coke regions about live years ago lie lias always been a strong trades un-ionist and before the strike last winter wasseveral times discharged by liis em-ployers for liis advocacy of labor orga-nizations. The great strike brought him into prominence and at tiie frequent conferences with tiie operators tvhic have been held since lie won their re-spect by his coolness and moderation. His father is the Secretary of tiie Coke Drawers’ Association, of England. Sec-retary Aiullen will likely now be elected president of the Association while Jer-ry Trnmtny, of Jimtown, is favorably spoken of as Mullen’s successor. The funeral took place from tiie late residence of tiie deceased at Wheeler on Saturday. Tiie procession which left tiie house at IU,30 a. m., numbered almost 5,000 people nearly alt on foot. Tiie pall-bearers were selected two each from tiie Ancient Order of liebernians, Knights of Labor and tiie Amalgamated Association. Tiie remains were taken to the Catholic church in Connellsviile where the impressive services for tiie dead were held. At tiie close, tiie pro-cession formed again and marched to tiie ceineterd where the maimed body of tiie unfortunate man was laid to rest shortly after three o,clock. The coroner’s inquest, which was held at Connellsviile Saturday morning, re-sulted in tiie finding of a verdict of acci-dental death. There is a mysterious cloud hanging over affair the which will he thoroughly investigated by acommit-tee of miners. BARN BURNED A Hit. PIcuMMtt Township Farinor’s Heavy I.OHH l>y Five. Shortly after daylight Friday morning ALL. Eaushold, a near neighbor, dis-covered tiie barn on the old I’resley Hurst farm, in Alt. Pleasant township, to be on tire. The flames had gained such headway that tiie liorsesnlone were saved from (lie burning building in which vvera about 1300 bushels of wheat iu tiie mow besides 20 tons of liny,a four-horse wagon and some other farming implements. The origin of tiie lire is not known. Tiie barn was tiie property of.T. AV. Moore, tiie coke man, whose loss will be about $2500, having had no insurance. Upon John IJily who 1ms this farm ren-ted tiie loss falls with terrible weight. Last year liis wheat crop was a liiilure. Mr. Riley’s loss in wheat, hay and far-ming implements burned will not fall much short of $1,000, Alany farmers in the township have expressed a willing-ness to help him and a respectable sub-scription will.doubtless tie raised in the course of tiie next fe S' days. aillKlcul Meeting. The Union Musical Society will moot at the Presbyterian church, next Friday evening at 7,30o’olock, Sinco thesecond of last October, when the society was or-ganized, there have been thirty-five reg-ular meetings to June 2d when it ad-journed for vacation until tho first Fri-day evening in August. The society was a success last season and adjourned in good condition. Thefeeatjoining is one dollar, with twenty-live cents a month thereafter which is foumj sufficient to meet all expenses. ‘‘Mutual improve-ment in vocal music” is the object—all musical people aro invited and all mem-bers are requested to bo present on time and bring their (fipnda, l)«-i hit’ll To liiitUl, A dispatch from Comiellsvillo on Sat-urday says: The election held here to-day to erect a SO,000 public building car-ried for the scheme by a majority of 109. Owing to some Irregularities, the elec-tion will likely be declared void. If not au effort will be made to huvean injunc-tion issued against tho erection of the building. Had only proporty lioldors been allowed to vote, there would have been a majority against erecting the structure, as taxes aro heavy and the borough is badly in debt.

AVednesilny evening Mrs.Sullonbergpr, relict of the late Jacob Sulleiiherger who committed suicide several years ago, near Alice mines, by shooting himself appeared before ’.Squire Stauffer and testified her consent to the marriage of her daughter. Miss Jennie, to John Gaeilaek, a Sclav coke drawer at Aloru-wooil. who. hv the way, is a very genteel looking fellow of not more than twenty-live years of age wliilo liis sweetheart is just now enjoying her sixteenth summer of life. The happy couple with several friends repaired to Greenshurg the next morning to procure the necessary license which the hard-liartcd Olerk of the Court refused, saying Hie mother’s testi-mony required tho signatures of two witnesses. Nothing daunted but with the spirit of of a true lover, John sent a messenger in haste for the necessary names and with the balanceof the par-ly spout tiie time until liis return sight-seeing in tiie county seat. The next train north brought tiie messenger with tiie paper promptly signed and soon Hie twain were made one by an obliging justice. A Oi.OIUOUS OLD TIME. In tiie evening the happy Him and liis pretty bride returned to Morewood whereat No. 58lives witli his family a brother-in-law of the new Mrs. Gaeil-aek, William King, and where a sump-tions repast had been prepared. After the viands had been discussed an in-formal but well attended reception was given Mr. and Mrs. Gaeileak. At tiie close of tiie reception the wet goods which consisted of numerous quarters and eights were brought forth from tiie ice and placed on tap and many were (lie toasts drank to the young bride’s health, One, AVilliam Meredith, is said to iiavo wished her well over tiie foam-ing bowl more than a score of times. Dancing began at a fashionable hour an agreement having been made before-hand that, as the festi/ities were of an international order, the American guests should lie given the first dance and the Hungarians the second, and so alternate during tiie evening. This arrangement proved a very satisfactory one in more ways than one us it gave hotli parties an equal chance at the dance and tiie liquid refreshments which were kept in an apartment inmediately hack of the bail room. Tiie square dance seemed to be the favorite with tiie American por-tion of the revelers while the Hun-garians stuck to tiie waltz as a rule. There was one movement executed by the males alone of the latter which must lie seen and heard to lie appreciated and can be compared to nothing short of an Indian war dance. At its close a collection was taken up among tiie par-ticipants which amounted to some twen-ty odd dollars and this was given to the bride. The merry making continued duringthe entire night anil tiie following day with but short intervals for rest and laying in of a fresh siqiply of beer, and, indeed, it might be said that Sunday closed the festal occasion connected with tiie first wedding, it is believed, of tho kind in this country. Marrying foreigners may become tiie rage in this section for already it is re-ported that two more American girls at Alice intend following Mrs. Gaeilaek’s example. Nutiirnl (inti Xolc.s. It is belioved by many that there is excellent oil territory iu Greene county and that spine good wells will be secured in thatsoction before many months. Tiie Gulleys’ are of this opinion. The natural gas product of the Mur-raysville Held is roughly estimated at 300,000,(100 cubic feet ofgas per day,which is probably within the truth. The con-sumption at Pittsburg alone is placed at two-thirds that amount; but much of this must be charged to wastage. Collector John Dowlin has in contem-plation tho sinking ofan oil well on liis farm on Muddy Creek, iu Greene coun-ty. Tho farm lies in the very center or'what is supposed to be the Greene jounty belt, and Mr. Dowlin thinks if there ia any oil in tho county ho has it. The well will go down early iu the fall* The Greonsburg Fuel Company is en-gaged in negotiations with It. H. Smith, oi Pittsburg, for the use of his patent process ef making natural gas an illiuni-nant. Ifan agreement should be reach-ed tho company propose to supply illu-minating natural gas for lighting not only the streets of Greensburg but also private houses. It is Mr. Smith’s patent that is used in making gas hore. Not So Had nit Krportcd. Last weok an account was given of a boy at Hecla who was reported to have had his eyes kicked out by a mule.

Rev. Noden preached Saturday evening from the text, “Away with him, away with him, crucify him.” At 9 a.m. Sabbath both old and young assembled in tiie Tabernacle for the purpose of studying the Sabbath school lesson for the day. Rev. A. L. De Long acted as superin-tendent and tlio following persons as teachers: Lev. Munden. of Greensburg; Rev.

At 10:80 divine services by Bishop Weaver, from tiie text, "Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls, For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Also, at 7 :8*> from tiie text, "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, then shall ye ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you.” in order to appreciate this grand and good man you must hear him for your-self. One more opportunity is afforded, as he is expected to preach on AVednes-day evening. Sabbath afternoon was occupied witli a testimonial meeting, conducted by Rev. Munden, and a ser-mon liv C.

Bishop Glossbrenner and Rev. D. D. lie Long are expected on Saturday and will conduct tiie services on Sunday. Tiie wet weather, of which we are having a good share, has not in any way interfered with tiie success of the meet-ings. While it may, possibly, have pre-vented many from attending who would have otherwise been here. Tiie common complaint of poor hoarding heard in other years is a thing of the past, as un-der tiie efficient management of Mr. and Mrs. Leighter, of Annville, we have tiie double enjoyment of every delicacy of tiie season and having it well prepared. The restaurant, over which “Mel” Loar presides, is doing a flourishing business.

Yesterday morning Aianager Hurst took tiie Liberty Stars over to Greens-burg and in tiie afternoon pitted them against the Stewarts, of that place. Tiie game was played on tiie school grounds, the fair grounds being Hooded. The field was a very poor one, being so small that tiie umpire would allow but one and two liases on a three base or home run hit. From tiie first inning tiie superiority of tiie .Stars both at tiie bat and in tiie field was apparent. Alarsli wiio pitched for tiie Ntars had tiie Ntewarts at liis mercy although in the eighth inning lie tossed tiie ball in straight in order to give the Greensbnrgers a few runs so as to make the game more interesting. This foolish play almost lost the Stars the game which was finally won,howev-er, by heavy hatting in tiie last inning. I). AV. Shupe acted as umpire.

GAS IN BLAST FURNACES. How H Pinnhiirgor Propi.Hi H to Sim lt Iron With IJCNN Coke. John Francis Bennett, of Pittsburg, l.as patented a process for the purpose of usinn iintimil gru in blast fiirmteus. liis chief difficulty is to elim-inate the moisture from tiie gas, blit lie lias found a means to overcome it. He conveys tiie gas from tiie well into a re-ceiver where the expansion causes all water over six per cent, to ho deposited. Tiie gas is then carried in pipes to a gas holder in the neighborhood of tho fur-nace capable of holding 30 minutes’ sup-ply. On entering this holder the pres-sure of gas is reduced to three pounds. In this holder foraminous or perforated floors, preferably of copper sheets, are placed six to eight feet apart and are heated by steam from tiie boilers. This floor may also lip composed of coils of steam pipes. Jts use is to arrest tho gas in tiie course of its ascension into tho holder and to prevent the freezing of the moisture, which iR rim off through a one-inch pipe. The flow of tiie gas into the holder is governed by a regulator. On passing from tiie holder, tiie gas, which is now free from moisture, is passed through an iron pipe stove, heat-ed by tiie waste gasses from the furnaco. Thence it passes into the furnace through four tuyeres, each planted equi-distant from one of four other tuyeres, which convey the atmospheric air blast. Air. Bennett now claims that by this process one ton of pig iron, which now requires 2,500 pounds of solid carbon to produce, can he produced witli 053 pounds of solid carbon. He estimates that liis process saves 7.3 per cent, of the solid carbon fuel. AMID ORANGE GROVES. A Formel’ Mt. Pleniinnt I.iuly Weila a Gal-lant Florida Captain. Special (’orrcMpomlence to the Journal. KEY WKST, Fla., July 20, 1880. A very pleasant occasion took place, July 15, at N o’clock p. m., at the resi-dence of Airs. Virginia Low, where Mr. Jesse Fox and family and ('apt. Hiseock, from Indian River, are now tenting rooms. It was the consummation ofa two years’ engagement in the happy marrage of Captain frwin D. Hiseock to Miss Jessie L. Fox. The ceremony was performed by R. II. liarnett, pastor of the First Al. E. Church South. They had no idea of coining to Key West to mar-ry or ever to spend any length of time. Capt. Hiseock came to sell a schooner, and Air. Fox and family on a pleasure trip, but after getting here they found it pleasant, and pleanty to do, so they took rooms for some months. That they made friends very quickly and are de-servedly popular was evidenced by tiie large number that attended their wed-ding, and tho handsome and valuable presents they received. Tiie bride was beautifully yet simplyaml sensibly attired in a cream colored dress, and looked so modest, retiring and womanly that it was not surprising to tiie Captain’s friends that lie was tiie happiest man in the party that evening. Tiie wedding slipper was beautiful, bountiful and de-licious. Alay long life, health and happiness crown their union with every earthly and spiritual good. R. II. BARNETT. SCOTT'S “IRONCLAD.” The Contract. Against Which the Scott IlHvun Miner* Struck. Tiie “iron-clad” contract against which tiie miners of W. L. Scott or tiie Yough-iogheny River Coal Company are on a strike, provides that the company will pay tiie miners the same rate per ton as is paid by the coal companies of the Youghiogheny river. It also provides that in case of a suspension of work at other mines on tiie Youghiogheny river, Scott’s miners shall continue at work at the rnte which was being paid at tiie other mines before this suspension. If after such a suspension the miners at the other mines resume work at a higher rate than they were receiving before, Scott’s miners are to be paid this advan-ced rate far all coal mined during and after this suspension. This contract holds good until the expiration of thirty days’ notice is given by either party. The most obnoxious partsot theeontract to the miners are the last clause in th e regulations attacked. The] clause pro-vides that tiie miner “furtheragrees that he will not stop work, join any ‘strike or combination for the purpose of ob-taining or causing the company to pay their miners an advanceof wages, or pay beyond what is specified in thiscontract, nor will he in any way aid, abet or countenance any such ‘strike,’ combina-tion or scheme for any purpose whatever duringthe time specified in the first clause of said contract. And if the sec-ond party shall violate any of the pro-visions of this contract in this regard, at any time, lie shall thereby forfeit all claims for coal previously mined and not paid for, and the first party be released from liability therefor.” TlKe CuUfornla thirty Diluj ed, I^r. ^brain Ruff, of this place, who left for California several weeks ago with a party from Seottdale and vicinity, writes from Dodge Citv, Kansas, that thoy have been detained at that pointow-ingtoa twenty-mile washout in the road a short distance west ofthat plnce.

THE breaking up of the famous Blcn-lielm gallery of paintings began on Sat-urday in London, but tile prices obtained were not extraordinary. Eighteen Ru-benses were in the first day’s sale, blit only two of them brought prices equal to those sometimes paid for model works —“Venus ami Cupid Restraining Adonis from tile Chase” a famous example of this master, which fetched $30,000, and the fine portrait of Anne of Austria, bought by the same dealer who purchas-ed tlie previous picture, which brought $18,300. The same painter’s “Holy Family” sold for $3,000, while a “Bac-chanalian Revel” fetched less than $300. American buyers apparently were not among the bidders or competition would have been livelier. RAILROAD men are making ready to do a very important as well as a very sensi-ble tiling, namely, to prepare a series of railroad signals which will lie understood on any road in the country. The mag-nitude of this reform can be appreciated when it is known that an employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad wlto should get a job on a Baltimore and Ohio train would have to learn a new set of signals, ami that on some roads to swing a lan-tern backward and forward means“go ahead,” while on others it means“back.” A trainman who goes from the service of one road to that of another needs an unusually cool head to give the right signal in every ease without confusing the new and the old, and the adoption of a perfectly uniform system would doubt-less promote the general safety of the traveling public, however well it is al-ready cared for by the more progressive corporations. its iuliueiiue, but rather to the “terrors of the law” which it lias invoked, it is willing to assume whatever of credit or discredit attaches to its course. Tlie Anarchists have solemnly resolv-ed Unit the press, in clamoring for the condemnation and execution of tlie ac-cused dynamiters, lias acted contrary to tlie spirit of tlie law and the dictates of justice in prejudging their disc and de-claring them guilty before tliey have been heard in their defense. It is sug-gested that tlie press should remain dis-creetly silent on tills question ol guilt or innocence until the fact lias been judi-cially determined. Willie it must be confessed that tlie press lias gone far towards condemning the accused in advance of a trial, yet it would have been derelict in duly lmd il remained silent through fear ofdoing in-justice to the Anarchists, either as in-dividuals or as a class. if it he true, as set forth in the action of the meeting, tlmt “the press Is tlie chief Instrument for tlie formation and expression of pub-lic sentiment,” what would the Amer-ican people have inferred from its silence after tlie fearful revelations which fol-lowed the bloody massacre at the Ilay-mardet? There are some crimes so heinous in their nature, sodibollcal in their concep-tion and so horrible in tlicir perpetra-tion that they carry with them all tlie marks of guilt and all tlie qualities which merit punishment. It is to the lasting credit of the press that it lias, “with almost entire unanimity,” never ceased to condemn the dynamiters as murderers and to demand their convic-tion and punishment. Their crime was not murder alone, to be weighed as ordinary homicides under the rules and technical-ities of law,hut a startling blow aimed at tlie very vitals of civil government. The maimed and dying policemen represen ted the animus of the Anarchists towards organized law and order in tlie United States. They took tlie Nation by the throat when they made war upon its constituted authorities, and now tlmt they are in the keeping of tlmt law whose majesty they have ottended and defied tlie press but echoes tlie. public sentiment when it demands the crimes of sucli ap palling magnitude shall not go unpun-ished.— PiUsbunj Commercial-Gazette. THEGRANGERS' ANNUAL PICNIC-The Grangers’ Picnic, or Inter-State Exhibition, hold at Williams’ Grove, Merhauiesburg, Cumberland county, in Uiis State, lias become one of the great institutions of Pennsylvania. The thir-teenth annual meeting will open ott Mon-day, August 30th, and closcon Saturday, Septomocr Ith, and it should at once command the attention of manufacturers and dealers ltero and elsewhere, who have articles adapted to the great indu-trial interests represented there. When it is considered that over three hundred car-loads of implements and machinery were exhibited at the annual picnic ol 1885; that the attendance num-bered 130,000 and that orders for Imple-ments and machinery were recived by exhibitors amounting to $350,000 on the grounds, tlie importance of tlie occasion to manufacturers can be justly estimated. There is no charge for.the admission of visitors, and tlie frugal expenses are paid by a small fee from eacli exhibitor and the sale of restaurant privileges. Teams will be ready at Mcchnnlcsburg to COM vey machinery and implements to the grounds at reasonable rates, and a twen-ty acre field in good condition for culti-vation, has been engaged tor tlie trial of plows, harrows, rollers, drills, etc. One of tlie enjoyable features of the Grangers’ Picnic is the utmost freedom given to public discussion. The rule prohibits political speeches, but tlie dai-ly addresses take such a wide latitude that tlie political lino is often crossed without serious oil'ensc. Tlie Grangers believe in every man having his say, and if any one gets wrong, lie, must take tlie racket as it comes from some corrective oratory. Tlie speeches are several in number eacli day and every phase of in-dustrial interest and public administra-tion is presented. Upon tlie whole the Grangers’ Picnic of Williams’ Grove U one of tlie most entertaining as well as instrvetive institutions of the State, and all who would see the world as it is and note its wonderful progress, should spend si day or two with tlie Grangers at tiiclr annual gathering. THE DISEASE OF DISHONESTY. The esteemed cashier of tlie Baptist Publication Society is from thirty to sixty thousand dollars short in liis ac-counts. Having had the misfortune to break his legjust at tlie time lie should have skipped, lie is now under arrest. A highly esteemed mercantile lawyer of New York is short for about tlie same amount, but he retained Hie use of Ids legs and is safe to Montreal. An esteem-ed official of tlie Chicago Post Office, though under no physical disability, was ganglit before lie got away, his shortage being variously estimated up to two hundred thousand dollars. These arc tlie principal embezzlements recorded yesterday, and it was considered rather a dull day. With the exception of the New York lawyer, who is said to have lived rather fast, these embezzlers had given no indication of any departure from rectitude in their conduct and mode of life. The ('liicago man was so highly esteemed Hunt be was not num-bered among the rascals whom the new Democratic Postmaster thought ft well to turn out, and tlie trustees of the Bap-tise Socrcty had no reason to withhold their entire confidence from their ex-perienced cashier. And yet these men are to have been robbed the funds entrusted to tfyt.ni for a very long time hack. .Sutdi frequent crimes U .dishonesty— lor yesterday’s list is but a r<qi*>t4tR'?u of a daily story—indicate a social disease.| There iiave been dishonest men and em-liezzlers since tlie world began, but we have not hitherto expected to find them among our near neighbors and associates in business or society. And yet this deadly competition tag wealth, or the ap-pearance of wealth, for •wertdiy position, reference to the fisheries dispute; and while he lias suffered no compromise of our national honor and prestige, lie lias candidly avoided any exhibition of ill-temper and unfriendliness that, besides being undignified, would have been fool-ish, if not stupid. No one, however, who lias intelligent-ly observed Secretary {Bayard’s course lias imagined for one moment tlmt lie lacks any proper national sentiment. We are able to believe that such persons as Senator Frye and Congressman Bontelle nre quite capable of believing half they say about Secretary Bayard,hut are very sure that, tlie average Republican of me-dium ability lias, iu denouncing the ad-ministration’s foreign policy, been inllii-enced by Ids hopes rather than Ids con-victions. Tlie truth is that our dignity and honor were never in safer hands than now, and this is a truth which is steadily being borne in upon tlie people. A ease in point is furnished by the po-sition taken in tlie ease of Cutting, the American editor imprisoned at El Paso by (lie Mexican authorities. Investiga-tion lias shown that the arrest and incar-ceration are unwarrantable outrages,anil now the administration comes forward with a prompt and conclusive assertion of itself that will lie Ion ml lo answer all the requirements of the situation. .In-deed, the deliberation, tlie gravity, the wholesome and imperturbable temper with which Mr. Bayard interprets the idea and purpose of the United States, will infuse into that assertion a certain invigorating emphasis difficult to de-scribe in words, hut singularly fruitful in results. The truth is that this country Is alto-gether too big and strong, and its securi-ty and dignity are on much too safe a footing to need a constant and jealous self-assertion. Mr. Bayard very faith-fully represents the courtesy and good and good humor and kindly feeling that are the inevitable concomitants ofpower. —Ncte York Star. W. C. T. U. MFOR GOD AND HOME AND NATIVE LAND.” Doings of tllu U’omuii'N Christian [Tent- Iterance Union] In] America ami Elsewhere A NATIONAL MARRIAGE LAW-The House Judiciary Committee lias taken up tlie subject of marriage and di-vorce, but lias got holdjOf it, so] to speak, at tlie wrong end, A constitutional amendment lias been reported by that committee prohibiting polygamy in tlie I'hited -States and authorizing Congress to give effect to tlie prohibition by ap-propriate legislation. 'Fills is well. As tlie National Government lias taken up the work of stamping out polygamy, it might as well deal with it in Nevada and Colorado as in Utah, hut the proposed amendment lias tills provision: “Noth-in tills Constitution or this clause shall he construed to deny to any state the ex-clusive power, subject to the provisions of this article, to make and enforce all laws concerning marriage and divorce within ita jurisdiction.” Instead of prohibiting the National Government from legislating on tlie sub-ject of marriage and divorce it should be given exclusive .jurisdiction of the sub-ject. it is a defect in tlie original Con-stitution that these two subjects of leg-islation were not taken from the states and given to Congress. There Is quite as much need of unity and harmony on these two important subjects as there is In tin1 mattes of bankruptcy, naturali-zation, coinage and other matters over which ( dngress is made supreme. The variety of onr divorce laws, and the ex-treme looseness of some of them, is a aopree of ceaseless scandal, while the dlveasity of onr marriage laws breeds doubt eo<J .ewpfqaion.

Iu his judg-ment alcohol iu moderate quantities is beneficial. The attempt to prohibit tlie traffic altogether is therefore wrong. And Ids own practice accords with his opinions. In an interview with a re-porter of tlie Chicago Inter-Ocean, as re-ported in that paper, lie declared “that wine and beer in moderate quantities aro wholesome;” and in answer to the question," I lo you drink wine and beer?” he replied “Yes sir 1 do, and have done soall my life.” This frank declaration of Ur.

THE PRESS AND THE ANARCHISTS The Chicago Anarchists, in expres-sing sympathy for thosa of their number now in the custody of the law, are un-sparing in their denunciation of tlie newspaper press for tlie course it has pursued in dealing with'the offenders and their aiders and abettors. As tills meeting was the first of a public charac-ter which had been held under the “red flag” since tlie night of May 4, it is grati-fying to observe that tlie tone of tlie speakers has been very materially modi-fied. There was no clamoring for tlie blood of policemen, no incendiary tirades against capitalists, and no riotous sugges-tions as a means for remedying the wrongs of labor. That is so much gained, and while tlie press is not so stu-pid as to attribute this charge solely to 6>tlR FOREIGN POLICY. Of course, sf tip1 State Department were to act prcelpiteuteV on eyery com-plaint made by American -o^ens who choose to imagine that they have outraged by foreign powers, the country would lie in perpetual hot water. We would present the absurd spectacle of tin Ill-tempered, fussy, quarrelsome scold, and, in parting with our dignity, should lose tlie world’s respect. Happily for ii. tlie State Department is presided oyer liy a wise and well-poised statesman, whose equilibrium is not to he disturbed by mere clamor, and whose acts cannot bo influenced by silly mischievous importu-nity. Secretary Rayaril lias saved us from this humiliation by his course with Gigantic lied, oflinkaown IJi'^lb aovMur cxliaii.lUilc Supply* Ban Francisco Bulletin,] if tlie suit formations of Nevada were in railroad communication, there would be wAt.iarket in tills country for the foreignwitefie.

Ms*re often the mere moral recklessness that is pt.rt of the spirit of tills age. Contentment, .obe-dience, a religious devotion to one's dai-ly duty, are no longer looked upon as necessary virtues. On the contrary, these tilings arc rather spurned as In* compittote witli modern aspirations, Every man's.inly is to get into some other mail’s place, ito “raise in life” and to be, or to appear to he, ^onietliing oth-er than lie i*.

HOW TOM FURLONG UNRAVELED THE TRAIN-WRECKERS' SECRETS. Six Knight* In Prison-Tlielr Kagcrmiai to Umifrits M lint Minl-sr.ll TInti' Seeret* IVerc luiiiml- ()u ilie nioniinjiof April 28 Inst an enst-liouml freight train nn tlm Missouri I’n-cillc road was ?|imlln£ along In I lie ilnrkiH'Ss. Il was running wild, in rail-way parlance, and was, In fact, on tlie lime of a didavocl pns-«ngiT train. At a slight enrvo in the road, about halt a mile south of Wyandotte, on the Kansas side of ihe Stale line, the track suddenly spread and the engine and several of the Ireiglit ears were precipitated into the Haw river. The sound of the escaping steam was drowned by the cries of Fire-man Morton and lirakeman Carlisle, who w ere caught under the wreck and w ere being scalded to death. They were dead before help could reach them and tlie'r bodies were not removed until late in the day. It required only a cursory ex-amination to show that the wreck had been deliberately and maliciously plan lied. The spikes had all been drawn from two rails on the river side of the track and the fishplates and bolts had been removed for a distance covered bv llfty-one cross-ties. The murder of two men lay at the door of the perpetrators of the foul deed, and what, made the act the more dastardly was the fact that.lt was the delayed passenger train, with its hundreds of helpless and sleeping passengers, for w hom the plot had evi-dently been laid. W HO WKItK SISI'KCTKI). At this time the great Southwestern railway strike was in full blast amt sus-picion very naturally fell upon the stri-kers. It was easier to suspect than to prove anything, however. The Knights of Labor indignantly denied that the wreck was the work of strikers ami hint-ed that it had been planned by the rail-way company to inllume public senti-ment against the order. The Sherllf of the comity way himself a Knight, as w as also Mayor liannen, ol Kansas City, and il was impossible to convict anybody under the circumstances without the clearest and most convincing proof. The company ottered a reward of $2,500 for the arrest and conviction of the perpetra-tors, without so much as getting a re-sponse from anybody who thought they knew the guilty parties. The only clew the detectives got for some time was tlie fniding^it a wig near the wreck, which was traced to a Kansas Gity hair dealer, who had sold it to a prominent Knight Ihe day before tlio train was wrecked, and who said lie wanted it because lie WHS going lo slug scabs. The local po-lice w orked on the case in hope of secur-ing the reward, hut finally gave it up as hopeless, and all thought of the matter died out of tile public mind. KUHI.OXII COMKK TO THE FRONT. Detective Thomas Furlong, of the Gould system, after a careful study of tin* ease w hen everybody else had given it up, concluded that it was the work of a lot of local Knights and that lie could get positive proof of the fact, lie learn-ed that live or six men had crossed t lie Kaw river pn the night of the W'veck.piq anil they wove traced to the piaeo where (he wveek WtUTlfil, liere the cine toiled, as iteoiilil not he proved that they tore up tlie track, in Hie meantime one of the suspected men had been arrested for switch-throwing at ltumapo, Kansas. l(is name was Oliver J. Lloyd, and he w as noted as an advocate of violence tewnyd the railway company. The once against, him for switch-throwing was so good tied lip and Ids friends were aware (hat lie was in serious danger of convic- \ lction if brought to trial, ills counsel fought for delay, and Furlong conceived the idea of aiding him to secure the post-ponement of hh ease and otherw ise l>e-fvif. ndiug him ill order to throw him oft' ilia h'liavd ami get him to talking. HOW HE WORKED Ills CLAN. The detective lmd come into possession of the grips, passwords and other secret signs of the Knights. After deciding on this line of action lie proceeded to St. Louis and spent a week in Initiating a half dozen of his subordinates into the mysteries of Knighthood. This was done so successfully that the detective Knights found no diliienlty in passing themselves pff on the St, Louis fraternity ns full - jh'dged Knights, ^laving prepared Ills tt'sspeiates for their part pi the play, Fur-long nf>w took the aggressive. On July I! he sept, two (if liis initiated subordinates to lupisss (jiy, They were instructed Hi hunt up tim loading Knights, and, itftpr giving »U the grips, signs and pass- 'iVafilSi tft represent that they were there nil a secret mission from Powdorly, who wanted the Knights relieved from any blame lor the recent outrages. They were introduced to the Sheriffand Mayor. The Sheriff said lie was very glad to see the new Knights, hut lie was afraid Brother-Lloyd was in a tight place. Brothers Alfred and Martel—for these were ihe names assumed by Furlong’s Knights—were afraid so too, and it was by working on this fear in the heart of Lloyd thatrthey expected to get the tes-timony they were looking fT>r. Alfred was admitted to the jail and had an in-terview with Lloyd. After initiating jjoyd in Hie work pf the order estahlish-ptj sjnee lip wag ippafcppitptl lip tpld Hie pittpr Hint tjlf V-'iijway emnpany had a ppad casp against jiirp for gwipilirthrow-jng tpid intended prosecuting him for the lliurdcr of tho two inon killed by the wrecking of the train. Lloyd was very naturally alarmed, and asked Alfred wjiat he should do. This was what Al-fred wanted and lie proceeded to advise him to get a postponement, give bail if possible and skip, offering himself to furnish the hall. Lloyd was completely overcome and disarmed by such disinter-ested kindness, and gave Alfred a note to lus lawyer. ITe called on tlie hitter fuuVUitbeaWd hi jjoiiypiaing 'him of the gravity of 1 loyd'.s situation, j'he plan yyor];ed to a pbartp. the lawyer filed an „n iillldiivit <d oouthmance, Alfred fur-nished ball on the strength of a $1,500 deposit in tlie Wynndotte Bank, and Lloyd was released. Alfred and Martel now induced Lloyd to return with them to St. Louis, where they furnished him a good room, plenty of oigars and oilier evidences of their kindly regard for him, l.(.Oyl> (JETS CONFinKN'piAl.. Alfred then left Lloyd and Martel os-tensibly to see tlie attorney through whose advice he hail helped to get tlie accused knight opt of jail. Liis real ob-ject was to consult Furlong and give Martel a chance to worm a confession Of Course Wild, a .(Ian U Sound and well he don't care a copper for all tlie medicine on tlie face of the earth. He has no use for it. But when diseaso is eating his life out he wants the right pre-, seriptlon apd he wants it right away', i or that reason all AviUi knew Vhat Hr. fxennedy’s Favorite Remedy is turn to H>at lor help, and it neyer disappoints them. r\nd it is just as beneficial to new friends os it is fo old ones, Pleas, anl to the palate, and gentle in its action: 7 20 lm. out of Lloyd, lie was not disappointed. After Alfred left tlie room Lloyd grew confidential and related to Martel (lie story of tlm wrecking, lie said Hint there were sixteen others engaged in the plot, Imt only live beside himself were concerned in Its execution, (hi the night in question they lmd secured a boat anil rowed across tlie river to where tlie sec-tion boss’ box of tools was standing. They found a claw-bar outside of the box. This they used to draw the aplkes, and in a few minutes were ready to row hack. They returned to the house in which they lmd been lodging and heard of tlm wreck the next morning. Lloyd said In connection with this part of liis confession: “I was tickled to dentil when I heal'd of the wreck, hut 1 didn’t like the Killing of tlie two men, I said Il would hurt the order, Imt if my own brother was under that wreck,I’m if I'll go a step to get him out if lie was a a seah.” He then proceeded to give the names of Ids companions, to which piece of information Martel’s ears were very wide open, of course. That evening Furlong was introduced to Lloyd under the name of Mr. Thomas, lie was ac-companied by an alleged Colonel 1 lay is, who was represented to lie the lawyer under whose advice .Alfred had acted in securing Lloyd’s release on bail. Colo-nel Davis, after hearing Lloyd’s plan of defense in the sivitch-tlirowhignnd train wrecking eases, said it was not worth anything, and advised him to return to Kansas City and warn ids confederates to give leg bail and then getout of harm's way himself. Thomas, Alfred, .Martel, and Davis agreed to return with Lloyd and help carry out tlie scheme. At their suggestion lie wrote a letter each to liis wife, tlie Mayor of Kansas City and the men lie desired to warn, his companions agreeing to deliver tlie letters. They then took a special train to Kansas City ami Lloyd grew confidential once more and related the story of the wrecking to another of tlie party. 1 TRI.ONli AS Ft.'KLOHti. As they neared Independence the alle-ged Mr. Thomas entered the dressing room where Alfred was talking to Lloyd. ‘‘Brother Lloyd,” said Alfred, rising, “let me introduce you to Brother Thomas— Furlong.” "What’s that?” said Lloyd, rising. “Tills is Mr. Furlong,” said Alfred. Furlong, of the Missouri I’aellle.” When tlie trapped Knight realized Ills situation the expression of Ills counte-nance was pitiful indeed. He rose to his teet, but soon sank into a chair and bur-led liis face in liis hands. Hardened as the detectives were by constant associa-tion with criminality in its worst forms they could not but pity him. They tried to cheer him, but ns their kindly words were accompanied by the production of a pair ol hiiudcnlVs Lloyd did not pre-sent a picture of contentment, lie un-dertook at llrst to deny and explain away Ills confession, but lie soon realiz-ed how hopeless the task was and subsi-ded into moody silence. THE CAPTURE OP THE OTHERS. Furlong’s mission now was to capture i.loyd’s confederates before they learned that lie had been trapped, Ho ordered tlie special train side-tracked at Imlepcu-denee ami loft Lloyd a prisoner in it, jJiRU'ded by a snlHeient force, while he, in company with several de.tcetivcs, pro-ceeded to Kansas City. They called on the County Attorney, made known their business and secured tlie necessary war-rants. Alfred, with Lloyd's letter of in-troduction, called on Mayor liannen without revealing his business and got b'un to take a carriage and go to tlie bouses of all the uicn who were wanted, Lloyd’s letters were delivered and tho men were notified of a conference on tho following morning, for tlie purpose of deciding upon future set loll. Ill (lie meantime Furlong hunted up the Knight of Labor Sheriff, revealed liis identity and told him of Lloyd’s confession. Tho revelation nearly paralysed tlie Sheriff, hut after taking a few moments to think it over lie agreed in good faith to help to arrest tlie other conspirators. This was done ns rapidly as possible and in less than eight hours every one of them was In custody. Their names are George Hamilton. Mike I.earv, William Vossen, Robert Gicrs and Fred. Newport, allot’ whom, like Lloyd, arc or have been Knights ot Labor.

Vos-sen not only wanted to confess, but in-sisted on confessing, and, when the olli-oials declined to hear his confession, made a clean breast of tho matter to tlie reporter of the St. l.ottis Glohc-Denioernt, Newport proffered a confession, and, be-fore tlie excitement quieted down, Leary was the only one of tlie party who hail not confessed or signified a willingness to confess. When it became known in Kansas City that a detective mine had been exploded under their very feet tlie citizens were in a high state of gratifica-tion.

A Hare Relic, William Hunt, a Uniopitown je.velor, has In his possession a gold watch case, of the “Dull’s eye’’ pattern which was found some three years ago in Dunbar j township, Fayette county. The orna-mentation on the hack of the case is re-pousse work and that of the edges in fili-gree very ilnely executed, the work, us is learned from Ids name, engraved in line characters at tho bottom of the case, ot the celebrated George Michael Moser, who was born in Switzerland in 170f», and of whom Sir Joshua Reynolds says: ‘‘He lmd a universal knowledge of all painting and sculpture, and he may tru-ly ho said in every sense to ho tho father of tlie present race of artists.” The ar-tist took for liis subject tlie “Judgment ot Paris” tlie story of which is familiar to all and which the artist lias very hap-pily illustrated. When this old watch was now it must have been worth a fabu-lous sum, and the wearer, ifanolllcer of Rraddock’s army, as is supposed, must have been of high rank.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
SERIOUS trouble Is anticipated in the
Hocking Valley region over the intro-duction
of coal-cutting machines.
1)isi'.vrclies from Washington state that
our Congressmen are out of sorts. Many
of their constituents wish they were out
of seats, too.
Kuoui.o our Sam ltandall make a light
against Wallace, the Clearfield Senator
would hardly be given a chance to de-cline
the Gubernatorial nomination.
1 c wliat Editor (Sitting’s divorced wife
lias to say of him is true lie would make
a rather unworthy conns belli. She says
lie deaertciHfrom the rebel army, was a
drunkard and good for nothing generally.
A MEMBER ofCouncil said t lie reason lire
plugs were not put in along the pipe line
on Church and Main streets, was that it
would not be fair to lay a general tax for
the privilege enjoyed by but few. An ex-cellent
reason, but why not make the
privilege conform with the tax by ex-tending
the pipes?
A CENTURY ago, when the forests of
Western Pennsylvania rang with the
echoes of the pioneer’s axe and the han-dle
of the plow gave place to the trigger
of the rifle when the redskins became
too numerous, the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette first saw the light of day. From
the days of Washington to the days of
Cleveland it has consistently upheld the
doctrines which built up the nation and
wove about its brow the never dying
emblem of freedom to all men—except-ing
the Chinese. The steady old sheet
has witnessed the rise, progress and fall
of scores of would-be rivals, yet it stands
to-day a fit representative of the pro-gressive
journalism which leads the ad-vance
of civilization. Ever ready to
battle for the right, as the journal seeB
the right, the Commercial Gazette, having
passed the portals of one century and
having crossed the threshhold of a sec-ond,
is entitled to the universal congrat-ulations
which its younger brethren,
both of town and country, have united
in heartily extending. Among others
more worthy allow a youngster of four-teen
years to hand up its card.
DREADED TYPHOID.
CHAUTAUQUA 1MVEKSITY
Or. Sntvely Make* a Post Mortem Exam-tnntion
of a Wont Bliznbetli Victim.
Thursday Dr. Sniyely, of the State
’Hoard of Health, went to West Eliza-beth
and held an autopsy on the body
of Robert Graham. He was assisted by
Drs. Pierce and McGrew, of Elizabeth.
The examination proved conclusively
that the man’s death resulted from ty-phoid
fever of a malignant type. Wil-liam
McCarkey, another of Wednesday’s
victims, was found to have died from the
same disease, although no post mortem
was held. Dr. Naively also made an ex-amination
of the water from several of
the wells in the town, and as a result
ordered two of them to be closed lip.
He found considerable organic matter
in the water, but did not carry the anal-ysis
far enough to determine whether or
not they contained fever germs.
No far seven deaths have occurred
from this treacherous disease.
An Old Book.
Mr. David T,ash, of West Newton, had
a very old commentary on the liible
which ho said would be given to any one
who could road it. The book was prin-ted
iu London in 1(170 by Jacob (’testier,
with two columns to the page, one in
Latin,the other in Greek. In old Eng-lish
typo, tho task of reading was by no
moans an easy one oven for the lino
scholars of to-day. President DoDong,
of Lebanon Valley Colloge, who was
hore last week, however, carried off
the prize by reading to tho astonished
owner numerous extracts from the an-cient
volume. Tho hook which is won-derously
woll preserved lias the heavy
lent tier covers joined together across the
back with strong buckskin thongs.
President DeLongintends placing it in
tho library of his college.

After tho delegates wero elected
a motion was put bofore tho moot-ing
that they he instructed for Wallace

of 45 to 1.

EDITOR JOURNAL:—It is the purpose of
(his letter to fulfill my promise to say
more about Chautauqua University.
There is of course no other such a uni-versity
in this country, nor in any other
—a sort of university in camp. It is
well known that perhaps a dozen col-leges
in our country, and some in Can-ada
and in England, grant A. M., (Mas-ter
of Arts) and Pli. D. (Doctor of Phil-osophy)
ike., to college graduates after
they have pursued a two or three years’
course of study (post graduates;) while
others make those degrees practically
honorary. The colleges which prescribe
A. M. and l’h. D. courses of study ditl'er
on one point, viz : Nome require one or
two years’ residence and attendance up-on
recitations and lectures, while others
grant these degrees to non-residents, re
quiring written examinations by corre-spondence.
THE AIM OK CHAUTAUQUA UNIVERSITY
seems to be au imitation on a very large
scale of those colleges which grant di-plomas
to non-residents. Chautauqua
I'niversity proposes to open its doors,
not to college graduates especially, but
to everybody ; not to pursue post gradu-ate
branches, but all ordinary branches;
not simply the usual academic branches,
but any branch demanded, even to cook
ery. Ileing unlike all other institutions
it has no traditions to follow, and hence
teaches eight or ten languages, and no
mathematics. The sciences are mixed;
hut every year or two adds a new depart-ment,
and whereunto it will grow no
one can guess. I feel pretty sure that it
will never outgrow I)r. Vincent's imag-ination.
THE C. 1.. S. f.
now numbers 300,000, and will soon
reach half a million. Hut this is only
one department of this university. The
Teachers’ Reading Fnion isan imitation
of the (’. I.. N. ('., but the subjects have
reference to teaching. There is hope
that it will rival the C. I,. N. C. as a
Chautauqua Normal. This is the young-est
child of Chautauqua. Of the oilier
lepartments we may mention music, art,
day modeling, cooking, calisthenics, elo-cution,
book-keeping, stenography, type-writing,
and so on endlessly,
Nome one will want to know how much
of this mixture will procure a degree,
say A. I!., or I’ll. D.V Well, this will be
determined in time, but so lar the num-ber
desiring degrees is largely in excess
if those w ho are earning t hem. Hut we
must caution young people against the
supposition that a course in this institu-tion
is, in any important sense, a sub-stitute
for a training in a sdiool with
daily class recitations.
Chautauqua is not a substitute for a
college, or an academy, but it is an at-tempt
to get persons to pursue as fully
as they may be able iu their own homes
and at Chautauqua any one of a dozen
or more prescribed courses of study, and
upon its completion and a moderate ex-amination
to receive a diploma. Then,
to increase the inducement to subse-quent
study, seals arc granted of various
colors, blue, white, gold, &v., each being
a grade higher than tlie one next below
it in rank. A Doctor Eaton, of Frank-lin,
is said to have earned so many that
there is no more room on his diploma
for seals. These are, we presume, partly
for success in courses in the C. L. N. C.
In short, the attempt is to get persons
who cannot or will not go to an institu-tion
of high grade to pursue
moil (TRADE STUDIES AT HOME.
To this end text books are prepared
such as this class of students can use.
In Ibis way it is hoped to secure for tens
of thousands a lair education, a relish
for study, and the beginning of a good
library. As an example witness the
studies of tho C. L. N. C.
Nome will doubt the wisdom of such
a university, but tho demand for it is
proved by the more than a quarter of a
million C. I.. S. C.’s now enrolled, it is
proper toask whether the C. 1.. S. C. is
not, after all, the chief feature of this
now famous university. Personally we
believe it is, but Dr. Vincent would
hardly agree to this. Hut, even though
it be admitted that the C. L, N. C. is its
leading department, Dr. Vincent would
claim that this is only for the time being,
since the other departments are equally
in demand and will soon rival it. So
far as actual teaching is done on the
ground, the most thorough work is done
in the School of Languages. Here the
best of talent is sought for teachers, and
the most modern methods are adopted.
The Latin class begins witli Cicafr, tiie
German teacher uses German only, and
expects his classes to do likewise.’ One
result is enthvsiasm, which is a most
valuable contribution to success in any-thing.
German and French sociables
are held, and the chatting dope in Ger-man
and french.
THREE ( (.ASSES oy I'EOPU:
are noticeable at ('hautauqua—the C. L.
S. C.’s, school teachers and boarding-house
keepers. The first class are re-puted
for their Socratic wisdom; the
second are usually unmarried women,
about whose ages it is safest not to in-quire,
and the last class, the b. b. k.’s,
are usually women who impress you
with tiie conviction that they are very
anxious to get their harvest in. We
cheerfully own to a good deal of admi-ration
for each class. We met a woman
who hud come alone from Dakota to
graduate in the C. L. S. C. We over-heard
another woman asking tiie Greek
Professor important questions about
Homer. She was intensely interested

Sail Fate of Prc.hlriil Hart, of (lie Ifflnrr.'
Association, at Cniuiollsville
John Hart,of Wheeler,president of the
Miners’ and Laborers’ Amalgamated As
sociation, mot death in a terrible man
ner Wednesday night, in the upper yard
of tiie Baltimore ami Ohio road at Con-nellsville.
He had started to walk from
Connellsviile to his home and sat down
on tiie track near some gondola cars
loaded with iron ore to rest and await
some friends who were behind him. An
engine backed against the cars, causing
them to run over him. His right leg
was broken in several places and liis left
leg was nearly cut oil'. When found
neur midnight lie was still living. Tin
string of cars was so long that tiie shift
ing engine was not able to move Hie car
from its position. Men were sent to tiie
shops for jacks and by this means the
car was finally hoisted ami tiie mangled
man removed. All this time Hart suf-fered
untold misery and begged of those
present not to nllcrw his wife to see him
until lie was dead. The unfortunate
man was taken to tiie D office and med
leal aid summoned. Dr. T. 11. White
who attended him, saw at a glance that
to save his life was impossible, and tiie
priest was SBnt for. The injured man
asked to have ids limbs amputated, but
tiie doctor assured him that it would
only be death to administer chloroform
for the purpose at that time. A small
amount of chloroform was used to dead
en tiie tdrrible pain, but nothing else
could be done for him. lie lingered
until after six o'clock Thursday morn
ing, remaining conscious until within a
few minutes before deatli ended liis suf-ferings.
liis friends were notified and
liis remains were taken to l’orter’s un-dertaking
rooms, where tiie body was
dressed and placed in an elegant casket.
Air. Hart was about 33 years old and
leaves a wife and four children. He
was born in England of Irish parents,
and came to this country and settled in
tiie coke regions about live years ago
lie lias always been a strong trades un-ionist
and before the strike last winter
wasseveral times discharged by liis em-ployers
for liis advocacy of labor orga-nizations.
The great strike brought him
into prominence and at tiie frequent
conferences with tiie operators tvhic
have been held since lie won their re-spect
by his coolness and moderation.
His father is the Secretary of tiie Coke
Drawers’ Association, of England. Sec-retary
Aiullen will likely now be elected
president of the Association while Jer-ry
Trnmtny, of Jimtown, is favorably
spoken of as Mullen’s successor.
The funeral took place from tiie late
residence of tiie deceased at Wheeler on
Saturday. Tiie procession which left
tiie house at IU,30 a. m., numbered
almost 5,000 people nearly alt on foot.
Tiie pall-bearers were selected two each
from tiie Ancient Order of liebernians,
Knights of Labor and tiie Amalgamated
Association. Tiie remains were taken
to the Catholic church in Connellsviile
where the impressive services for tiie
dead were held. At tiie close, tiie pro-cession
formed again and marched to tiie
ceineterd where the maimed body of tiie
unfortunate man was laid to rest shortly
after three o,clock.
The coroner’s inquest, which was held
at Connellsviile Saturday morning, re-sulted
in tiie finding of a verdict of acci-dental
death. There is a mysterious
cloud hanging over affair the which will
he thoroughly investigated by acommit-tee
of miners.

A dispatch from Comiellsvillo on Sat-urday
says: The election held here to-day
to erect a SO,000 public building car-ried
for the scheme by a majority of 109.
Owing to some Irregularities, the elec-tion
will likely be declared void. If not
au effort will be made to huvean injunc-tion
issued against tho erection of the
building. Had only proporty lioldors
been allowed to vote, there would have
been a majority against erecting the
structure, as taxes aro heavy and the
borough is badly in debt.
