MT. PLEASANT JOURNAL. VOL. 20 MT. PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND CO.,PA., TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11,1892. EDITORIAL NOTES. TUKRK can be no question about are lights being what Mt. Pleasant needs for the streets anti THE JOURNAL trusts that Council, with due consideration for the taxpayers’ pockets, will be able to ar-range terms with the Mt. Pleasant Elec-trio Light, Heat & Power Company. A GLANCE AT IRELAND BY shooting five of the Dalton gang the people of Coil'eyvllle Kansas, have shown that they, too, know how to pro-vide proper entertainment for bank rob-bers and desperadoes. It was a dear victory, though, for four of the hosts lost their lives. MAJOR GENERAL SNOWDEN comes right out aud says lie is the instigator of the charge of treason made against the Homestead strikers’ Advisory Commit tee. The commander of our National Guard is no shirker of responsibility. IS TUB II IE 11#. ELLIITT, «F THE HI. PLEISIIIT PRESBTTEHIIB CUUHGH. REV. MR. ELLIOTT tells us the Irish name for speak easy is “shebeen;” but ot course, the Emerald Isle knows noth ing ot the blessings of the Brooks law with Us $501) line and a long term to the workhouse. THE viewers on theMt. Pleasant town ship farms, cut up by grade work for the proposed extension of the Pennsylvania’s Mt. Pleasant branch, ought to make the damages conditional upon the completion of the road. WIIAT Dr. Reid lias to say of the Mar-kleton Sanitarium shows that even Buck-eyes know when they are being well cared for. There is no longer any ques-tion about the success of this institution. THE finding of ex-Senator G. W. Dela-mater guilty of embezzlement at Mead-ville the other day must be an unpleas-ant reminder to Pennsylvania Republi-cans that they once ran him for Governor, THE People’s party must improve upon its record made in the recent Georgia election or it will have to retire from the political arena. Prohibitionists alone are permitted to vote for the mere fun ot it. THE Texas Cooleys are not so desper-ate yet as to require the dead or alive clause to be inserted in warrants for their arrest; but, nevertheless they should all be captured and punished. TUB weakest point about the treason case against the Homestead strikers’ Ad-visory Board seems to be that the Carne-gie Steel Company, and not the State, is the prosecutor. ^ Some of the Customs of the People Strike Him as Strange, but None More Than the Amount ofWhisky Required for a Small Wedding. LONDON, Sept. 24, 1892. ED. JOURNAL, Dear Sir:—Before leaving home I promised to write to you, but I have been so busy through the day and so tired when night came tliat I have failed thus far to tulfill my promise. We landed in Londonderry on a Sun-day after a very smooth, but to me very disagreeable, voyage of ten days. Mr. Carnegie says the difference between a sea voyage and a journey by land Is very much like the difference between married life and single life—either very much better or very much worse. The sea voyage with me was very much worse I hardly think Columbus was gladder to see America than I was to see Ireland The sail down the bay on the tug was delightful. The characteristic features of Ireland, such as the small fields, the hedge fences, the cottages with thatched roofs, the stacks of turf and tiie intensely green grass, were all visible. We had not been in Derry long until we dlscov ered that it was what some people about Pittsburg would call a puritanical city There are no restaurants nor shops of any description open on Sunday except Irug stores, and they are open only for a short time. The hotels close on Sun lay evenings at 9 o’clock. After tliat time the door Is opened by a porter, but only to guests of the house. I was told by an Irish clergyman whom I met on the vessel that the cause of temperance has made wonderful strides in Ireland in the last ten years. It ALL talk about Andrew Carnegie com ing home from Scottland to settle the Homestead trouble is mere bosh. Mr, Frick will attend to that matter. Aiiour one in every dozen of Mt. Pleasant’s voting population allowed Ills party to pay his poll tax. How proud these political Esaus must ieel! DEMOCRATS might claim that the pres-ent campaign, being the stillest kind of a still hunt, is, for that reason, all the more in their favor. THE affidavit, or tail end, period of the campaign is almost duo. Perhaps that will have a tendency to liven tilings up a little. THE only thing nicer for Mt. Pleasant streets than a score of arc lamps would be five or ten more lights of the same kind. OUR Columbian fair is only a week off and there are a good many things yet to be done. Keep your shoulders to the wheel. «•» • ITS not said boastingly; but, neverthe-less, Mt. Pleasant has a water system that Is quite a comfort these dry days. THE Baker Ballot Law is having a good many of its alleged reform attributes badly disfigured these days. THE worst feature about the scarcity of natural gas is that colder weather means still less ot it. A PROMINENT man who flops during a political campaign is rarely heard of af ter the election. INTERESTING MINE CASE. Chur Justice Paxaon Defines |ha Owner’* Responsibility for Accident*. In the Supreme Court, Pittsburg, last week Chief Justice Paxson reversed the decision of the common pleas court in Northumberland county in awarding damages to Barbara E. Haley in her Buit against the Philadelphia & Reading Coal und Iron Company, owners of the Greenback colliery in that county, in which the plaintiff’s husband lost his life. There was a fire in the minee which was alleged to have been due to the negligence of Andrew G. White, the mine boss. On this point Chief Justice Paxson says: “We have repeatedly held that the owner of a mine is not responsible for the negligence of the mine boss unless he is incompetent and the owner knows him to be so. To allow a recovery in this case would be to fritter away this rule.” Ice Factory for Gnenibnrf. James C. Henry <ft Co., of Greensburg, have begun work on a new ice factory to he built along the Pennsylvania road, near the Ludwick freight station. When fiuished the capacity of the plant will be 15 tons of Ice per day, the production of which will consume per minute about 40 gallons of water, which will be secured from an artesian well. The plant :s to be finished by next spring and .vill oost #20,000. Is possible that lie is right. I found one total abstainer in the tew days I was there and if I had only been able to stay longer I might hove found more. We had the pleasure (?) of witnessing in Castletin—a little village 18 miles from Derry—what we call an old-fashioned serenade. I say what we call a serenade, for when I asked what it was called in Ireland I was told they did not have any name for it. The pertormance consisted simply in burning tar barrels, and lasted from 8 o’clock till 11. In the meantime, however, the groom expressed his ap-preciation of the good will of the serena-ders by a treat. The crowd was not large and contained a number of small boys, but the groom estimated that less than eight gallons of whiskey would not be sufficient and so distributed that amount among them. He had not over estimated the capacity of his guests; there were no fragments and there were none runk. The people in the house where we were stopping thought it very strange when I told them what the penalty was In our state for giving intoxlcatiug liquors to children It seemed strange to one who had been a diligent reader of THE JOURNAL to learn that shebeens should exlBt in country where license is so cheap and so easily gotten. The word may be as new to some of the readers of THE JOUK NAL as it was to me, but when I tell them that the American translation is “speak easy,” they will doubtless understand what is meant. The Century Dictionary winch I consulted in the Carnegie Li hrary in Edinburgh, says the word she hang is probably a modification of she been. Shebeen, shebang, speak easy Take your choice. Shebeen is the more euphonious, but speak easy is more ex presslve. Besides the origin and signifi cation ot speak easy are easily traced The origin of shebeen does not seem to be known. It was a great wonder to me how the working people in Ireland managed to exist—I shall not say live. The farmer pays 36 cents a day with the exception ot harvest, when he pays 50. Meehan ics, such as masons, plasterers and car penters, get from 75 cents to $1.25. Meat and flour are a little higher in price than with us. Their living consists almost entirely of bread and tea. That is the chief secret of the matter. Notwitli standing their condition they are very kindly in their disposition, especially to the lower animals. Their houses are very poor but such as they have they willingly share with dogs, cats, poultry, cattle, donkeys, &c. Another thing which greatly surprised us in Ireland was the absence of cooking stoves among the country people. In fact, I don’t remember of seeing one. They have heard of cooking stoves, and some of the people have actually seen them, but notwithstanding that they con-tinue to cook on the open hearth. The peat on which the people have depended so long tor fuel has become scarce and dear and they are being obliged to im-port coal from England. That will add a good deal to the cost of living and doubtless result in a good deal of distress. Home Rule is very bitterly opposed among the people with whom I mingled in the north ot Ireland, but a typical Irishman who entered our car near Dub-lin, and who had evidently heard of a shebeen, told me if I were for anything else than home rule I had better keep quiet in that part of the country. I took ills advice. Those who oppose home rule claim that the question is at bottom one of property rights, and tliat the move-ment is akin to the Socialistic movement which denies the right of individuals to control the property which they possess. The London Times, in a leading article, criticizes Mr. Gladstone yery severely for tiie article In the North American Revieic in which he attempts to answer the art! cle of the Duke of Argyle in a previous number of the same review. Here is a quotation: “We have heard of Tam-many even on this side of the ocean, and of the arts by which the dominion of Tammany is secured. Mr. Gladstone’s ideal Ireland is an Ireland ruled on Tammany principles unrestrained by any effective legal limits save those ot its own making. and the great Horse Show, hut did not I attend the horse show. After tramping : arouud the city a couple of hours to find I lodging I concluded that I had had all I! wanted of horse shows. At last we got a room in an Irish boarding house. Mrs Elliott was fastidious enough to say she would like clean sheets on the bed. The servant manifested great surprise and replied that the sheets were clean ; they had been put on the first of the week and had consequently been used only a few nights. Notwithstanding the ac commodatlons she ciiarged more than tiie best hotels in Dublin. Tiie next night we would not have been so particular We were on our way trom Dublin to Glasgow. The boat was crowded with people returning from the show. The most of us were packed In beds on the floor like sardines in a box, the men In the dining salon and the women down stairs. But even tiie floor was not like the omnibus; there were some who could not be accommodated. When I got up in the morning and went out into the hall I found a man leaning up against the corner asleep. I had heard of men having stood up to sleep in that way but thought it was only a joke. S. E. ELLIOTT. A HUMAN DEATH TRAP SET BT MEMBERS BP HIS OWN GANG TELLS HOW FRANK COBLE! FELL. NATURAL GAS SCARCE. A Maimfnolnring Plaut Proponed For ConneliavilJe That Would Help. Wednesday’s hail storm tried the nat-ural gas supply here and found it, if not altogether wanting, powerfully weak and wood and coal had to be added to many fires before a comfortable degree of heat could be obtained. There are two chan cesof improving the Southwest compa ny’s supp’y. One is rain sufficient to keep the pumping station iu water and the other is to have Connellsyilie and New Haven cut oil'the Grapeville mains and supplied with a manufactured article of gas. D. D. Angell, who has charge both here and at Scottdale for the Southwest company, in speaking of tiie shortage, says: "The supply is weak and is liable to get weaker. One great drawback has been the scarcity of water which keeps the pump from being run only a few hours each day. Still, I look for an im proveinent as arrangements are now being made to lease several wells from the Westmoreland & Cambria people and then our company speaks of cutting Connellsville and New Haven off and supplying those two towns with manu factured gas. This would hslpMt. Pleas-ant and Scottdale, but as it would take until December 1 to get the plant in op eration the consumer might as well be prepared to encounter a few shortages during the intervening time.” SITUATION AT HOMESTEAD. The Attempt to Blow Up n Non-Union Hotel the Week’s Exciting Event. The only exciting event of the past week at Homestead came early Friday morning when an explosive was thrown into the Mansion House, and all theglass in tiie windows of the building shattered and some other little damage done. The house was occupied by about 40 boarders, but no one was injured. The building was recently purchased by the Carnegie company from John S. Cox, and was used as a boarding house for non-union men, The explosion caused a panic among tiie boarders and great excitement in the borough. The explosive, supposed to be a dynamite bomb, was thrown through the glass in the front door. The strikers indignantly deny tiie charge that they had anything to do with the outrage and their Advisory Commit tee has offered $100 reward for the arrest of the perpetrators, while the Carnegie company has offered $1,000 for the same purpose. “Muckle” McAllister, of Homestead, lias been arrested on sus-picion. No time has yet been set for the withdrawal ot the last four companies of soldiers. COMERS AND GOERS. Paragniphi Atmnt Prominent People Gatliered During t.ke Week.

The funeral of Frank Cooley, the no-torious Fayette outlaw who was shot and killed while resisting arrest at the hands of Sheriff McCormick and a posse at the home of his father, Lute Cooley, near Fairctiance, took place, Tuesday morn-ing last, the Interment being made in the cemetery at SmithGeld beside the grave of his brother Jack, who was killed by a spring gun trap three months before. The crowd was not as large as the one tliat attended Jack’s funeral, owing to the fact that it had been announced that tiie general public would not he permit-ted to view the remains. This rule was strictly adhered to and only the imme-diate relatives of the family took a part-ing look at the features of the dead. The Rev. P. T. Conway, of Fairchancp, conducted the funeral services. He preached a sermon at the house, but made little reference to the deceased, dealing very largely wilh the subject of death in the abstract. He could say no good uf the dead, and of course had no disposition to recall the evil of his life. Mr. Conway also preached Jack Cooley’s funeral sermon, and he admits that he was never in a more embarrassing posi-tion. IIothe Trnp Wai Set. Frank picked up his Winchester and etarted out. Frey said: “Oh,leave the gun at home, revolvers are good enough,” and Cooley laid the gun down. Frey the alphabet without repetition and would like to know who can beat it.

The result shows that Yeager was right as the outlaws walked right into the trnp. The price of Yeager’s treachery, or what was promised him, was a goodly portion of the reward, and the efforts of the sheriff to get him as light a sentence for the charges on which he is held, as pos-sible. TheCounty Commissioners will pay the $1,000 reward offered by them to Sheriff McCormick, Frank Pegg, William Hill-ing and Officer Fisher. The Georges school board will also pay them the $500.1 following.

The following, although written as a private letter from Dr. A. M. Reid, of this city, will be found so beautifully descrip-tive ofautumn Beenes and life in the Al-legheny mountains that it will be found ofspecial interest to readers of the Herald: MARKLETON SANITARIUM, MARKLETON, SOMERSET CO., PA., Oct. 3, 1892. DEAR MR. DOYLE:—1 know from your letters last summer that you enjoy beautiful mountain view. I write this from the heart of[ the Alleghenies. If Bierstadt were here lie could paint an-other picture which would make a com-panion piece for his “Heart of the An-des.” The mountain betore me is robed in its autumn garments. It is beautiful as the dream of an angol. The rounded summit looks like a grand bouquet. Its garniture of trees ehinlng in tiie splendid colors ofan October sun has an unearthly beauty. The yellow and crimson of the maples, of which there are thousands set upon the green robe of the mountain, the russet tints of the oak ; the light yellow of the chestnut and poplar, the brilliant crimson of the sumac and gum tree, the tender green of the bircii trees and tiie dark green of thehemlock, com-bine to make a scene of rare beauty upon the like of which the eye of man is sel-dom permitted to rest. God has painted the picture for our admiration and de-light. The view fills my heart with the joy of elevated thought. The little Cas-selman river fifty yards across with its borders of hemlocks goes gliding by the foot of the mountain, over a bed entirely covered with large black stones. You can year tiie music of its rippling water amoDg the stones, but unless you are quite near tiie bank you can hardly see the water, the river is so low. There are beautiful walks along the banks of this little river, and charming rides through the great forests and along tiie lanes ol tiie handsome farms on the top of the mountain. The brook moun-tain trout leans up to attract the fisher-man’s attention. The squirrel chatters in tiie tree to challenge the sportsman. The pheasant startles you with its whur-ring at your feet. This is,indeed, a place of rest and refreshment in the heart ot the Alleghenies. If any want a change from the trying routine of daily life; if any want to breathe pure mountain air and drink pure water from the mountain springs; if any are worn and weary with the toils and cares of life; if any are broken down and sick and need healing and health, here is a place, at the Mar kleton Sanitarium, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, about ninety (90) miles east of Pittsburg, where each class will find what they need. It is a family ho-tel and sanitarium combined. I have visited a number of these institutions and I have no hesitation in saying that for the completeness of its appointments the healthfulness of its situation, the beauty of its surroundings and the skill and care of its physicians, it is one of the very best in our country. Special rates are given to ministers, missionaries, phy sicians and teachers and their families I have no doubt that editors also would be included. Come up for a few weeks’ rest In this beautiful month of October and I will show you one of the most beautiful mountain views that ever glad dened your heart, though you have seen far more of God’s beautiful world than most men. Doubtless God could have made a more beautiful thing than mountain robed in the shining tints of an American torest with a blue sky and some trailing clouds of glory hanging over it, but d ibtless God never did.

OUR JOLUMBIAN FAIR, The work ofcollecting evidence against 8atue stook Ramsey and David was begun at once. The West Main street grocery store of Old Jacob Prinkey, whose house was Martin Parada, who is doing time at the visited by the gang ten days ago, came worahouse for illegal liquor selling, was down to see if he could identify the pris soId ?ut Tuesdayla8t by Sheriff Clawson oners.

Shallenberger, cf Rochester, Pa., have just issued cards announcing the marriage of their daugh-ter, Miss Laura, to Mr. Earle Fenton Palmer, which event will be solemnized in the First Baptist church, that city, on Thursday evening, Ootober 20, at 8 clook. The bride is a graduate of the the party that was at his house and iden-tified a match safe that had been stolen and was found on Ramsey. As soon as he saw David he said “There’s my hat,” and the hat was taken off David’s head and placed in the keeping of Sheriff McCormick. For several dayB following the arrest a Btream of people who had been held up or robbed kept filing into the jail to see if they could identify either of the prisoners. Many are wil ling to swear they are some of the per sons who were in the gang that relieved them of their property. A Nervy Preacher’s Reward. The viewers, appointed to assess dam-ages done the Mt.

J. R. Doran, well-known Uniontown liveryman, has left the town. Some $7,000 worth of ereoutions has been en-tered up against his property whioh is in the hands of the sheriff. Owing to thedisoovery ofa lototstolen goods, Thursday last, in an outbuilding at Lute Cooley’s home, his two young daughters and 16-year-old son were lock-ed up in jail at Uniontown. In a fight at Connellsville, Saturday evening, John Kane, a H. & O. railroad employe, was fatally stabbed by an Ital-ian named Joe Pernatzt who was arres-ted and jailed at Uniontown. Annie Wagner, a Johnstown girl, is being cared for at the Honeopathle Hos-pital, Pittsburg. She is suffering from the effects of mai practice, but refuses to divulge anything about her misfortune.

Ht Goes Through His Employer's Barber Shop For Some Sao. When Peyton Greenlow, the colored barber, locked up his shop in the base-ment of H. R. Freed & Co.’s block Tues-day night last, and went home he left some $25 in two money drawers in the mug case. He says he felt “inspired” that all was not right and so rose early the next morning aud on repairing to his place of business found plenty of evi-dence to prove the truth of his suspi-cions. The street door was open and so was one of tho cash drawers that had contained $20 of the money. Four ru-ined razors aud a pair of shears showed what tools the thief had used to cut the wood away from the jock. Strong evidence pointed to Charles Whiten, the young colored helper in the shop, as the guilty party. He had not been at work the day before. The out-side door had been opened with a key and he carried one, while a poor attempt throw suspicion from himself made in cutting the screen 1 from the inside. A warrant was issued for his arrest and when taken and placed in the lockup he confessed, al-though he afterward denied the charge. A search resulted in finding but 53 cents on his person and he was sent to jail at Greensburg to await trial. The prisoner is a son of Rov. Mr. Whiten and there is good reason to believe this was not his first offense of the kind. Their Depredations are in Close Conformity With the Style of Doing Business as Laid Down by the Fayette Outlaws, Recent police developments go to show that the East End has a regularly organ-ized band of boy robbers who have styled themselves the “Texas Cooleys,” and their depredations have been committed in a manner very like that of the iate Fayette outlaws. There are some eight members in tho gang and while their names are not all known it is said one of the Stevens boys is the leader and is called “Frank Cooley.” Frank Bird is his first lieutenant and commands re-spect as “Jack Ramsey;” Frank, better known as “Goosey,” Miller, Walter Tuning and another of the Stevens boys are leading spirits in the organization, and all carry revolvers. Last Saturday night a week ago Mur-ray’s East End meat store was broken into and a lot of bologna and pop taken, it is said, by this gang. A few days la-ter “Frank Cooley” and “Jack Ramsey” called at the same place and found young Murray alone in the shop. The leader compelled tho terrified clerk to go into the refrigerator and kept him there until his lieutenant had rifled the money drawer. Another crime charged to the gang was the breaking into the Red Men’s rooms in Lowe’s Hall, Tuesday night last, following a banquet of the order. An entrance was effected from the roof of an adjoining building, but it is belie-ved they got nothing for their trouble. Thursday last Granny Shelkey, an old crippled widow woman who lives on Mud Lane, had Mrs. Bird, Frank’s mother, help to pick green tomatoes in the garden and when Mrs. Bird went home she sent Frank over for her shnre. Young Bird took Frank Miller along and when Mrs. Shelkey went out into the garden they slipped into the house. They found the key of a bureau drawer lying on the bureau and soon liad possession of all the money the poor old woman had, $21 in gold. They were caught in the act by Mrs. Dr, Miller who is, how-ever, no relation of Frank Miller. She had come in to see Mrs. Shelkey and when she saw the open drawer called to the boys to stop, but they made good their escapo. A warrant was taken out at Jonce and placed in the hands of Policeman Wolf-endale who started at once in pursuit. The trail led to Scottdale where the two boys were seen during tho afternoon and where Bird bought his young partner in crime a pair of shoes, saying they inten-ded taking the evening train for Pitts-burg. As it was thought they stayed in Scottdale Policeman Wolfendalepaid the place a second visit Friday, hut returned without finding any trace of them in the evening only to find that the boys had spent the day in Pittsburg and come home broke at night. They were botli arrested Saturday morning and confessed. Young Bird was sent to jail at Greensburg at once, while Miller was held pending an effort to having him sent to Morganza Reform School. Legal advice prevented Justice McWilliams from making any discrimi-nation and Miller was sent over to join “Jack Ramsey” last evening. Arrests of other members of the gang will follow. THREATENED WATER FAMINESl Many Neighboring Towns Keenly Feel the EfFecd of the Drouth. Every coke plant in the ConnelUville region, except those supplied from the Yough riyer or from tho Mt. Pleasant system, is seriously effected by the scar-city of water caused by the almost two months’ drouth. Tho same is true of all the towns except Connellsville. Ths Columbia Iron and Steel Company at Uniontown was closed down last week owing to the failure of its water supply and will remain closed until connections can be made with the Oliver Bros.’ line from the river. The Baltimore & Ohio and Pennsylvania railroad water tanks, furnished with water by the Uniontown company, are dry and these roads are compelled to ship water there in oil tanks. The supply for the town has been very low for a couple of weeks. The borough authorities have issued aBpacial call to be careful about fires, as the wa-ter supply would be totally inadequate for fire use. The water company supplying Jean-nette and Irwin has shut off much of the supply, and ns a consequence the Penn-sylvania plate-glass works at Irwin has been shut down indefinitely, throwing a large number of men out of work. Peo-ple who depended on the water compa-ny’s supply are in desperate straits. It is also reported that the company sup-plying Greensburg will shut off tho sup-ply unless early and heavy rains fall in tiie moutaln region in the meantime. At Scottdale the Bupply has been short for several weeks although consumers still manage to get enough water from the mains for domestic purposes. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad has ex-perienced much trouble lately with the water for its motive power on the Pitts-burg division. The largo quantities of lime and sulphur in the Youahioghony river cause the boiler flues in the loco-motives to leak so badiy that it is impos-sible for them to haul trains. Froights are frequently greatly delayed. Alt Aged Fayette lUun’n Deatll.

AN INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORY, The Chicago World’s Fair will illus trate four centuries of development and will fittingly record the exploits of more than one great pioneer of discovery. The descendants of the early settlers of North America cannot afford to let it be forgot teu that Sebastian Cabot deserves a place only second to that of Columbus in the roll or discoverers.

They World. Henry VII. had resolved toem- >;over t,le subject very fully, and it is im-bark on the new field of maritime dlscov-1 possible within the limits of one article ery, and the Cabots, filled with the same idea as all the early navigators, proposed to sail westward to India. Their plan was accepted, and on March f>, 149G, a patent was granted to “John Cabote, citizen of Venice, to Lewes, Sebastian and Sanitus, sonnes of the said John,” empowering them to seek out, subdue and occupy at their own charges all re gions which had “been unknown to all Christians.” They were authorized to set up the royal banner, to possess all territories discouered as the King’s vas-sals, and to exercise exclusive privileges of traffic, but they were to return to Bristol, and one-fifth ot all their gains Was reserved as the property of the crown. Of LewcB and Sanitus we hear nothing more, but John and Sebastian sailed from Bristol in the Matthew In 1497, and ap-pear to have returned to England imme-diately after the first discovery. At any rate, in the privy purse expenses of Hen-ry VII. a payment is recorded on August 10,1497, “To him who found New Isle, £10,” and in an ancient manuscript it is stated, “This year (1497), on St. John the Baptist’s day, the land of America was found by the merchants of Bristowe in a ship of Bristol called the Matthew, the which said ship departed from the port of Bristowe the 2d ofMay and came home again 5th of August following.” It ap pears almost certain that Newfoundland was discovered on this yoyage, but It Is also probable that “the land first seen,” as It Is described, was a part of the con-tinent of America. ..The original of Ca. bot’s map of 1544 is in the geographical cabinet ot the Imperial Library at Paris,' and “land first seen” is shown between the forty-fifth and fiftieth parallels, with the island of St. Juan within which is plainly the embouchure of the St. Law-rence. Probably, therefore, Cabot dis-covered the coast of Nova Scotia, and, if so, he saw the mainland of America be-fore Columbus or Amerigo Vespucci. IloriterliiK on tlie Marvelous.

With the return of clergymen from their summer vacations comes anew the old debate about the alleged excessive length of sermons. Are sermons too long? Tins seems to be one of those questions that never get answered to general satisfaction, and, it may be, one reason is the vagueness with which the query is usually put. It is a good deal like asking whether books are too volu-minous, newspaper accounts of currrent events too extended or musical perform-ances too long drawn out. If we take either of the extremes it is easy to make either of two answers, neither of which can be successfully con tradlcted. Certainly some sermons are too long. “Well, I did not mean to be tedious,” said a spruce young clergyman when a venerable brother of the cloth complimented him on having preached but fifteen minutes at a special service “But you were tedious,” was the elder’ prompt rejoinder. On the other hand there Is a well authenticated story of a preacher ot the olden days, whose bear-ers used to beseech him to “turn the glass,” when the exhaustion of the sand from one end of the hour glass indicated that sixty minutes had alreudv been oc cupied in that discourse. There are ser-mons that have all over them, like nightmare or a shroud, the horror of greatdullness. They are unimportant in theme and uninteresting In treatment, They aie repetitious and verbose. They are pointless and aimless. They are con fused, obscure, illogical, dry as an Egyp tlan mummy, empty as a last year chestnut, julceless as a sucked orange Of course, such sermons are two long; but that is a fault that cannot be reme-died by shortening, except on the prin-ciple of curing headache by decapitation. Such sermons are too long, however short. ; equally true and undeniable that even to notice all their facts and conclu-sions. There are, however, a few points to which especial attention should be di-rected. In the first place, these reports prove conclusively that there is an enor-mous amount of assisted emigration from Europe to this country. The assistance, moreover, is not given mainly by rela-tives or friends of the emigrants, and many of those assisted are not honest and self-sn’pporting persons. The reports show that in certain countries ot Europe there are societies at work all the time for the sending to this country of pauperB and criminals. One of the Commission-ers gives a list of no less than seventy ot these societies, some of which are under royal patronage. Commissioner Schul-theis himself came to this country last November as an indigent applicant for charity, sent by the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress, of which the Prince of Wales is the nominal president. These societies make it their business to forward to America all sorts of undesira-ble persons, Including criminals. Furthermore, It is found that the in-spection of emigrants before leaving port is a mere form. At several ot the prin-cipal ports, Including Hamburg and Liv-erpool, there is no medical inspection whatever. The only safeguard existing against the Introduction of disease and crime and pauperism into this country from abroad is the inspection here. This safeguard is insufficient. The flood of immigration is steadily rising, too. or was before the recent quar-antine. For the eight months ending August 31 the number of emigrants was 448,019, as against 41C.570 for the same period last year. The increase, too, was largely in people alien to the races that have built up America. In a period of eight months we received 29,597 Hunga rians, 49,137 Italians and 74,481 Russians and Poles, the last named being in an al-most destitute’and utterly degraded con-dition. It Is high time that indiscriminate im-migration should cease, aud that this Re-public should beopenonly to immigrants who are likely to make good citizens, physically, morally and intellectually. Some Aspects ofTemperance. Those who ask that liquor shall not be sold at the Columbian Exposition do not ask the Commission to make any new or strange law, or to enact Prohibition, but simply to observe the laws of the state ot Illinois. Hon. L. E. Atkinson of Penn-sylvania, in a speech in the U. S. House of Representatives, cited the laws of Illi-nois as follows: Whoever shall keep any shop, booth, tent, wagon, vessel, boat, or other place for the sale of spirituous liquors, or ex-pose tor sale, or sell, give away, or other-wise dispose of any spirituous liquors, or engage in gambling at or within two miles of the place where any agricultural, horticultural, or mechanical fair Is being held shall, for each ofiense, be fined not less than five nor more than one hundred dollars: Provided, Tills section shall not effect tavern keepers, distillers, or others exercising their calling at their usual place of business.” The word fair Is defined as follows: “Wherever the word ‘fair’ occurs in this act, it shall be held to mean a bona fide exhibition of the four principle classes of live stock, to-gether with general agricultural and horticultural products aud mechanical arts.” To the argument that the Board of Di-rectors of the Exhibition have made themselves liable to penalties of $(100,000, that they will assure the liquor sellers tills privilege, Mr. Atkinson makes the conclusive reply that “no action will lie upon an unlawful contract, and this con tract was to permit and authorize one of the parties to it to violate the law of Illi-nois;” and further, the Act of Congress creating the Exposition expressly pro Vtdes: ‘That nothing in tills act shall be so construed as to override or Interfere with the laws ol any stnte, and all contracts made in any state for the purposes of the Exhibition shall he subject to the lnws thereof.” OFFICE—No. 135 North Main street, four doors above Court House.

Pittsburg Dispatch.

The saloon Is a peril to the home, to the church, to the state. Its bearing on tlie welfare of the state is illustrated in an article in the September Forum, upon “The Alnrtnlng Proportion of Venal Voters,” by Prof. J. J. McCook, Trintty College, Hartford. The author of the article states expressly, “I am not a total abstainer, tlicorltically or practically; and l have always voted in favor of license I do not belong to the Prohibition pnrty ; hut considerd merely as aquestionof dol-lars and cents, the drink question is the question of the day. The tariff wrangle Is a mere baby to It.” It may ho heliev - ed that Hie statements of Prof. McCook are not colored for a desire to mnke a ease for Prolnbltion; but his lacts are as trustworthy as they are significant. He has made a sort of moral and social cen-sus of Hartford, Conn., and other towns, and gives as the result such facts aB these: Out of 1,000 intemperate Ameri-cans iu Hartford, 700 are venal, are ready to sell tlielr votes; every American drunkard la venal; all the shiftless Amer-icans are venal; and all who have been under arrest or imprisonment are venal. He next takeB up a rural community and finds that two-thirds of the intemperate Americans, Irish, English, and all ot the colored and Canadian intemperate are venal. He next considers a single ward In a Conneticut city, and finds that 39 per cent, of drunken or Intemperate Amerl cans are venal. Taking several localities as representative, he estimates that, in tlie state of Conneticut at large, of every 1,000 intemperate, 540 are venal; ofevery 1,000 drunkard, 790; of every 1,000 shift-less, all are venal. The Influence of the saloon is not alone a matter of morality or philanthropy, it is a matter of suicide or self-preservation of the 6tate. DR. J. A.

Senator Quay evidently appreciates the fact that the political field is just now lull of the chattering magpies of party growth who think they are converting TREASON AGAINST THE STATE If there is such a thing as treason against the state, there cannot be much question that the proceedings of the Homestead "committee” come under that head. It is not simply that they instigated lawless disorder, riot and murder; they have already been held individually to answer for that. They did more than this. They set up an insurrectionary government, in defiance of the authority of the Commonwealth, arrogating to themselves both civil and military pow-ers. When the commander of the state forces appeared at Homestead to compel their Bubmision, they proposed to treat with him and were affronted because lie would not accord them belligerent rights. Foolish and ephemeral as this little re-bellion was, it bad in it all the elements of armed public treason. And it is ap-propriately the Chiel Justice ol the Com-monwealth who issues bis process against the village revolutionists and calls on them to show why their treason should not be punished. There need be no fear of anything but the strictest justice In this case. The leaders of these men are sure of punish-ment for one crime or another and their dupes will probably get off easily. But the important thing is to teach the noisy agitators, whether alien or naturalized, that the authority of the people is vested in the lawful government of the Com-monwealth and that they who make war against it are traitors to the people.— Philadelphia Times. IT is now claimed that it was not Sher-iff MoCormtck but one of his deputies who killed Frank Cooley. That don’t matter, however; it was a splendid shot. The Woman’s Temple. Miss Frances Willard makes a strong appeal for the Woman’s Temperance Temple at Chicago, now about completed aud declared to be the most attractive business building in the world. Besides being the headquarters of the National W. C. T. U. aud the Woman’s Temper-ance Publishing House, it Is also used as s Banking and Office bui'ding, four of Chicago’s largest banks having their quarters in it.

Getting the Flgnre. Mixed. Pittsburg Labor Tribune. The newspapers of Pittsburg state that $GO,000 wages paid out at Homestead on Saturday, and that the usual amount be-the first of May. When entirely filled, its rental will be somethlngover $200,000 annually. The Temple has a frontage on La Salle street of 196 feet and 13 stones high. It contains a beautiful memorial hall on the ground floor. Here every day in tbe year will ascend prayer and sup-plication for tbe salvation of the drunk-fore the strike was $80,00(1.

Leoit of Frank Cooley'. Death Pittsburg Commercial Gazette Rejoicing will be indulged in by all law-abiding citizens of Fayette county at the overthrow of the Cooley gang by tbe . . , „ heath of Frank Coo,ey and the capture of | gj££““S traffic which is the world’s greatest curse. Within it the wanderer and the tempted will find doors ever open, and motherly and sisterly hearts and hands, ready to help, and lead the erring to Him who can save to the uttermost. The capital stock of the Temple $600,000; of course, those who hold the stock receive the income from tlie rentals and are the true owners of the building Through gifts, and the sale of Temple Ramsey. Sheriff McCormick lias, ap purently, made a good job of it this time, the only discreditable thing about it be-ing that It was not done long ago. One principal cause of failure, however, was the disinclination of persons to join the raids against the gang, as, in case of fail ure, such hostility was certain to invite the enmity and vengeance ot the outlaws.

Measured by the hour glass, or more modern stop watch, his preach-ing was often lengthy; yet of Beecher might have been said what Ben Jonson said of Bacon’s speaking In Parliament: “The tear of every man who heard him was lest he should make an end.” It is true that the real question does not apply either to geniuses or dunces, but to the average clergyman ministering to the average Sunday audience.

Their plan was accepted, and on March ft, 1490, a patent was granted to “John Cabote, citizen of Venice, to Lewes, Sebastian and Sanitus, sonnes of the said John, empowering them to seek out, subdue and occupy at their own charges all re-gions which had “been unknown to all Christians.” They were authorized to set up the royal banner, to possess all territories discouered as the King’s vas-sals, and to exercise exclusive privileges of traffic, but they were to return to ^Bristol, and one-fifth ot all their gains was reserved as the property of the crown. Of Lewes and Sanitus we hear nothing more, but John and Sebastian sailed from Bristol in the Matthew In 1497, and ap-pear to have returned to England imme-diately after the first discovery. At any rale, in the privy purse expenses of Heu ry VII. a payment is recorded on August 10, 1497, “To him who found New Isle, £10,” and in an ancient manuscript it Is even to notice all their facts and eonclu sions. There are, however, a few points to which especial attention should be di rected. In the first place, these reportB prove conclusively that there is an enor-mous amount of assisted emigration from Europe to this country. The assistance, moreover, is not given mainly by rela tlves or friends of the emigrants, and many of those assisted are not honest and self-en'pporting persons. The reports show that in certain countries ot Europe there are societies at work all the time for the sending to this country of paupers and criminals. One of the Commission ers gives a list of no less than seventy ot these societies, some of which are under royal patronage. Commissioner Schul-theis himself came to this country last November as an indigent applicant for charity, sent by the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress, of which the Prince of Wales is the nominal president. These societies make it their business to forward to America all sorts of undesira-ble persons, including criminals. Furthermore, It is found that the in- W. G. T. U.

The original of Ca-bot’s map of 1544 is in the geographical cabinet ol the Imperial Library at Paris, and "land first seen” Is shown between the forty-fifth nnd fiftieth parallels, with the island of St. Juan within which is plainly the embouchure of the St. Law fence. Trobably, therefore, Cabot dis-covered the coast of Nova Scotia, and, if so, he saw the mainland of America be fore Columbus or Amerigo Vespucci. ARE SERMONS TOO LONG 7 With the return of clergymen from their Bummer vacations comes anew the old debate about the alleged excessive length of sermons. Are sermons too long? This seems to be one of those questions that never get answered to general satislaction, and, it may be, one reason is the vagueness with which the query is usually put. It Is a good deal like asking whether books are too volu-minous, newspaper accounts of currrent events too extended or musical perform-ances too long drawn out. If we take either of tho extremes it is easy to make either of two answers, neither of which can be successfully con-tradicted. Certainly Borne sermons are too long. “Well, I did not mean to be tedious,” said a spruce young clergyman, when a venerable brother of the cloth complimented him on having preached but fifteen minutes at a special service. “But you were tedious,” was the elder’s prompt rejoinder. On tbe other hand there Is a well authenticated story of a preacher ot the olden days, whose hear ers used to beseech him to “turn the glass,” when the exhaustion of the sand from one end of tbe hour glass indicated that sixty minutes had already beeu oc-cupied in that discourse. There are ser-mons that have all over them, like a nightmare or a shroud, the horror of a great dullness. They are unimportant in theme and uninteresting in treatment. They ate repetitious and verbose. They are pointless and aimless. They are con-fused, obscure, illogical, dry as an Egyp-tian mummy, empty as a last year’s cheBtnut, juiceless as a sucked orange Of course, such sermons are two long hut that Is a fault that cannot be reme-died by shortening, except on the prin-ciple of curing headache by decapitation. Such sermons are too long, however short. jt jg equally true and undeniable that is a mere form. At several ot the prin-cipal ports, Including Hamburg and Liv-erpool, there is no medical inspection whatever. The only safeguard existing against the Introduction of disease and crime and pauperism into this country from abroad is the inspection here. This safeguard is insufficient. The flood of immigration is steadily rising, too, or was before the recent quar-antine. For the eight months ending August 31 the number of emigrants was 448,019, as against 416,570 for the same period last year. The increase, too, was largely in people alien to the races that have built up America. In a period of eight months we received 29,597 Hunga-rians, 49,137 Italians and 74,481 Russians and Poles, the last named being in an al-most destitute’and utterly degraded con-dition.

Pittsburg Dispatch. If only the corrupt politicians on both sides of the fence could be persuaded to pair off and vanish into the oblivion, whicli is their fitting resting place, the nation would be all the better for their absence and voters eould more freely concentrate their attention on a pure and unadulterated consideration ot the ques-tions at Issue. under arrest or imprisonment are venal.

Taking several localities as representative, lie estimates that, in the state of Coimeticut at large, of every 1,000 intemperate, 540 are venal; ofevery 1,000 drunkard, 790; of every 1,000 shift-less, all are venal.

If there is such a thing as treason against the state, there cannot be much question that the proceedings of the Homestead "committee” come under that head. It is not simply that they instigated lawless disorder, riot and murder; they have already been held individually to answer for that. They did more than this. They set up au insurrectionary government, in defiance of the authority of the Commonwealth, arrogating to themselves both civil aud military pow-ers. When the commander of the state forces appeared at Homestead to compel their BUbmision, they proposed to treat with him and were affronted because lie would not accord them belligerent rights. Foolish and ephemeral as this little re-bellion was, it had In it all the elements of armed public treason. And it is ap-propriately the Chid Justice of the Com-monwealth who issues his process against the village revolutionists and calls on them to show why their treason should not be punished. There need he no fear of anything but the strictest justice in this case. The leaders of these men are sure of punish-ment for one crime or another and their dupes will probably get off easily. But the important thing is to teach the noisy agitators, whether alien or naturalized, that the authority of the people is vested In the lawful government of the Com-monwealth and that they who make war against it are traitors to the people.— Philadelphia Times.

The success of this last Sunday exploit will have a good moral effect. It ought to teach the lawlessly inclined that the certain end of plundering Is violent death or long imprisonment, and It ought to nerve the Fayette farmers to more prompt and resolute resistance to any possible future attempts to set up a des-perate gang In their midst.

Rufus Choate, the great Boston lawyer, for once met his match In a witness in the following Instance. His witness, mate of a ship, had been badgered until his temper got tire better of him, and he began to answer in accordance with his ruffled feelings. "How do you know there was a moon ?” asked Choate, the witness having said there was, while at the same time de-claring that it was “dark as pitch, and raining like seven hells.” “The nautical almanac said so; and I’ll believe that sooner than any lawyer in the world.” “What was the principal luminary that night, sir?” “Binnacle lamp, aboard the ship.” “Ah, you are growing sharp, Mr. Bar-ton.” “What have vou been grinding me this hour for, to make me dull?” "Be civil, sir. And now tell me in what latitude and longitude you crossed the equator.” “Oh, you’re joking.” “No, sir. I am in earnest and I de sire an answer.” “Which is more than I can give.” “Indeed! You were the first mate of a clipper ship, and unable to answer BO simple a question?” “Yes, its the simplest question 1 ever had asked me.

The inn keeper was a gentle-man by birth, and, learning who his dis tlnguished guest was, sought to draw him into conversation during the even-ing, but failed in the effort. In the morn-ing Mr. Randolph called for and paid his bill. The landlord;- still anxious for some conversation, said: “Which way are you traveling, Mr. Randolph?” ‘•Sir?” rejoined Mr. Randolph, surlily. “I asked, which way are you travel-ing?” “Havel paid you my bill?” “Yes.” “Do I owe you anything more?” “No.” “Well, I am going just where I please, do you understand?” “Yes, I understand. Randolph drove off, leaving the land-lord somewhat flurried by his ill temper, but in a few minutes one of the servants came back to Inquire which one of the forks of the road the traveler should take.

MT. PLEASANT JOURNAL.
VOL. 20 MT. PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND CO.,PA., TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11,1892.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
TUKRK can be no question about are
lights being what Mt. Pleasant needs for
the streets anti THE JOURNAL trusts that
Council, with due consideration for the
taxpayers’ pockets, will be able to ar-range
terms with the Mt. Pleasant Elec-trio
Light, Heat & Power Company.
A GLANCE AT IRELAND
BY shooting five of the Dalton gang
the people of Coil'eyvllle Kansas, have
shown that they, too, know how to pro-vide
proper entertainment for bank rob-bers
and desperadoes. It was a dear
victory, though, for four of the hosts lost
their lives.
MAJOR GENERAL SNOWDEN comes right
out aud says lie is the instigator of the
charge of treason made against the
Homestead strikers’ Advisory Commit
tee. The commander of our National
Guard is no shirker of responsibility.

name for speak easy is “shebeen;” but
ot course, the Emerald Isle knows noth

with Us $501) line and a long term to the
workhouse.
THE viewers on theMt. Pleasant town
ship farms, cut up by grade work for the
proposed extension of the Pennsylvania’s
Mt. Pleasant branch, ought to make the
damages conditional upon the completion
of the road.
WIIAT Dr. Reid lias to say of the Mar-kleton
Sanitarium shows that even Buck-eyes
know when they are being well
cared for. There is no longer any ques-tion
about the success of this institution.
THE finding of ex-Senator G. W. Dela-mater
guilty of embezzlement at Mead-ville
the other day must be an unpleas-ant
reminder to Pennsylvania Republi-cans
that they once ran him for Governor,
THE People’s party must improve upon
its record made in the recent Georgia
election or it will have to retire from the
political arena. Prohibitionists alone are
permitted to vote for the mere fun ot it.
THE Texas Cooleys are not so desper-ate
yet as to require the dead or alive
clause to be inserted in warrants for their
arrest; but, nevertheless they should all
be captured and punished.
TUB weakest point about the treason
case against the Homestead strikers’ Ad-visory
Board seems to be that the Carne-gie
Steel Company, and not the State, is
the prosecutor. ^

LONDON, Sept. 24, 1892.
ED. JOURNAL, Dear Sir:—Before
leaving home I promised to write to you,
but I have been so busy through the day
and so tired when night came tliat I have
failed thus far to tulfill my promise.
We landed in Londonderry on a Sun-day
after a very smooth, but to me very
disagreeable, voyage of ten days. Mr.
Carnegie says the difference between a
sea voyage and a journey by land Is very
much like the difference between married
life and single life—either very much
better or very much worse. The sea
voyage with me was very much worse
I hardly think Columbus was gladder to
see America than I was to see Ireland
The sail down the bay on the tug was
delightful. The characteristic features
of Ireland, such as the small fields, the
hedge fences, the cottages with thatched
roofs, the stacks of turf and tiie intensely
green grass, were all visible. We had
not been in Derry long until we dlscov
ered that it was what some people about
Pittsburg would call a puritanical city
There are no restaurants nor shops of
any description open on Sunday except
Irug stores, and they are open only for
a short time. The hotels close on Sun
lay evenings at 9 o’clock. After tliat
time the door Is opened by a porter, but
only to guests of the house.
I was told by an Irish clergyman
whom I met on the vessel that the cause
of temperance has made wonderful strides
in Ireland in the last ten years. It
ALL talk about Andrew Carnegie com
ing home from Scottland to settle the
Homestead trouble is mere bosh. Mr,
Frick will attend to that matter.
Aiiour one in every dozen of Mt.
Pleasant’s voting population allowed Ills
party to pay his poll tax. How proud
these political Esaus must ieel!
DEMOCRATS might claim that the pres-ent
campaign, being the stillest kind of
a still hunt, is, for that reason, all the
more in their favor.
THE affidavit, or tail end, period of the
campaign is almost duo. Perhaps that
will have a tendency to liven tilings up a
little.
THE only thing nicer for Mt. Pleasant
streets than a score of arc lamps would
be five or ten more lights of the same
kind.
OUR Columbian fair is only a week off
and there are a good many things yet to
be done. Keep your shoulders to the
wheel.
«•» •
ITS not said boastingly; but, neverthe-less,
Mt. Pleasant has a water system that
Is quite a comfort these dry days.
THE Baker Ballot Law is having a
good many of its alleged reform attributes
badly disfigured these days.
THE worst feature about the scarcity
of natural gas is that colder weather
means still less ot it.
A PROMINENT man who flops during a
political campaign is rarely heard of af
ter the election.
INTERESTING MINE CASE.
Chur Justice Paxaon Defines |ha Owner’*
Responsibility for Accident*.
In the Supreme Court, Pittsburg, last
week Chief Justice Paxson reversed the
decision of the common pleas court in
Northumberland county in awarding
damages to Barbara E. Haley in her Buit
against the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal und Iron Company, owners of the
Greenback colliery in that county, in
which the plaintiff’s husband lost his
life. There was a fire in the minee
which was alleged to have been due to
the negligence of Andrew G. White, the
mine boss. On this point Chief Justice
Paxson says:
“We have repeatedly held that the
owner of a mine is not responsible for
the negligence of the mine boss unless
he is incompetent and the owner knows
him to be so. To allow a recovery in
this case would be to fritter away this
rule.”
