A BRUTAL HUSBAND.
THE NOTORIOUS WILLIAM BUSSE
AGAIN HELD FOR COURT.
IT is said that Governor Pattison has
already notified the clerks of the Senate
and House, as well as the heads of de-partments,
that he must have vouchers
for every cent of money expended. As
a result of this order several clerks, who
had been drawing pay and doing little
work, have resigned. The people could
scarcely ask a better beginning to a re-form
administration.
THE many Mt. Pleasant friends of
Commander George Reiter will regret to
learn that his request for an official in
vestigation has been refused by Secre-tary
Tracy. But, time will tell whether
or not it was wise for the Commander to
make the demand at all, after having
had, following the relief from his ship, a
personal interview with the head of the
Naval Department.
THE PITTSBURG Leader says Senator
Robbins’ Free Text-book bill is “a hum
bug and a fraud on the toxpayers”; but
our esteemed contemporary will have a
pretty hard time ot it convincing parents,
who know all about the present expen
sive system of supplying their children
with schoolbooks, that such would prove
the case should the measure become a
law.
THAT Rev. Mr. Donehoo, the writer of
the article defending our local option
law, to be found in another column, is a
successful as well as a popular preacher
the record of his pastorate at the Mt.
Pleasant Middle Presbyterian church
well shows, and yet what he don’t know
about tlie Mt. Pleasant “speak-easy”
evil would make a big book.
IT is reported from Washington that
President Harrison is after Don Camer
on’s scalp, which, if true, might be con-slrued
to mean a Senatorial boom for
Postmaster General Wanamaker. But,
if the wearer of grandpa’s hat has the
second term fever, he would do well to
keep liis hand out of all Pennsylvania
fights.
THE attempt of Democratic Senators
to talk to death the effort being made to
revive the Federal Elections bill will
prove successful it the Republican mem
bers can’t stand the flow of eloquence
any better titan Mr. Quay. He already
wants to pair ofl and hide himself in the
wilds of Florida for the balance of the
session.
MR. RAINEY’S way of running his coke
business, while good for himself, has
ever been anything but pleasing to his
brother operators and labor officials;
but, $1,000,000, the price at which he is
said lo hold his plants, is a whole heap
of money.
FRANK COOI.EY, the young Fairchance
desperado, is still at large, Fayette coun-ty
officials seeming determined to keep
up their well-earned reputation for not
caring particularly about molesting
criminals of this class.
IF eoke operators and their employes
continue to disagree on the wage scale
question,the 10th of February will likely
see a general strike inaugurated; but,
until that time shall have come there is
no use in worrying.
LADIES PROTEST.
The Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union Favors Vocal Option.
The members ot theWoman’s Christian
Temperance Union of Mt. Pleasant, hav-ing
noticed in lust week's issue of THE
JOURNAL that certain citizens have de-termined
to make an appeal to the Legis-lature
of Pennsylvania for the repeal of
tiie present local option IHW of Mt. Pleas-ant,
therefore,
‘‘Resolved 1st., That we do condemn
the action ol of all such citizens in this
matter.
“Second, That we will do all In our
power to prevent the repeal of the pres
ent law, and do most earnestly entreat
the co operation of all good Christian
citizens in our endeavor to do that which
is right.” W. C. T. U.
A Pardon Wanted for Herrington.
Notice was served Thursday upon
Mayor Gourley, of Pittsburg, that an ap-plication
will be made to the Pardon
Board for the release oi Walter Herring-ton,
of 8cottdale, who is serving a three-year
term in the penitenliary for his
connection with the May Sullivan scan-dal.
Jacob Bobbs, who got live years
for participation in this case, it will be
remembered, was pardoned on Christ-mas
day.
Wntlnghouu lntereMta Endangered.
The Westingbouse Electric Light and
Manufacturing Company’s affairs are
said to be in such bad shape that the ad-visory
committee, having charge of the
f600,000 subscribed by Pittsburgers de-siring
to extend aid, refused to accept the
money. Mr. Westingbouse, however,
believe* the company, with the help of
•astern capitalists, will pull through all
right,
The Terrible T^le of Wrongi Told by Ilia
Wife Whom He,Beat and Compelled
to Sleep In tile Stable.
Mrs. William Busse, whose so-called
home is near the Dunkard church, some
two miles east of town, on Saturday eve
ning lust, came before Justice MuCaleb,
into whose sympathetic ear she poured a
tale of terrible wrongs suffered at the
hands of her brutal husband.
In substance she said that her husband
had came home that morning much the
worse of liquor and, snatching a heavy
stick from the hands of one of their chil-dren,
he proceeded to beat her in a most
terrible manner. The poor woman’s face
plainly showed the marks of the club,
while her manner evidenced tile truth ol
her statement. Tills was not the first
time 9he had been subjected to like treat-ment.
Once she had been driven from
the house and compelled to sleep in the
stable. Again, some time ago, she was
beaten while in a delicate condition.
The result was the premature birth of
tier child. Mr. MuCaleb, alter receiving
the information, sent the woman to the
Hotel Jordan where she was well cared
for over Sunday.
The husband has had a somewhat no-torious
career and is well it not favorably
known in Mt. Pleasant, where, in Mud
Lane, some years ago, lie ran a place ol
questionable repute. It was while living
here that he came near being lynched
one night. A party of young men visit-ed
ills place and when some trouble arose
Busse grabbed a big knife and cut
••Reddy”Nugeut’s nose almost off. While
Nugent was at the doctor’s having Ills
ugly wound dressed some of his friends
went back and dragged BttSBe from the
house into the street,wiicre his life would
more than likely have paid the penalty
had not William Wolfendale, now Chief
of Police, interceded.
Constable Thompson took the warrant
and arrested Basse, yesterday, bringing
him before ’Squire McCaleb who lost no
time in holding the defendant for court
in the sum of $200.
REITER’S REQUEST REFUSED.
Secretary Tracy Will Not Order a Navnl
Court Martial.
Secretary of the Navy Tracy on Friday
last addressed a letter to Commander
George Reiter, refusing to grant his re-quest
for a court martial investigation of
his connection with the surrender and
killing of General Barrundia on hoard
the Acapulco. The Secretary in his let-ter
insists that lie lias a right to rebuke an
officer publicly or privately for failure in
the performance of duty, and denies that
Reiter, under department regulations,
has a right to demand the court martial.
It is claimed that if the Commander
had been content in the first place to
rest under the rather mild censure im-plied
by his relief from the command of
the Ranger, it is safe to say nothing
more would ever have been heard of the
case, but he believed he had been un-justly
treated and demanded a hearing
which only resulted in bringing down
upon him the first reprimand of the Sec-retary,
and now his demand for a trial
is answered by a second censure. There
is nothing left for him to do now but to
drop the case or appeal to Congress for
an investigation of his course in the har-bor
of San Jose and the action of the
Secretary in censuring him. It is under
stood that Commander Reiter, who is
still at his Pittsburg home, is strongly
considering this course.
AN OLD COKE PLANT REBUILT,
How Rainey Will Get Coal to Ills New
Ovens at Fayette.
The Fayette eoke works near Dawson
are among the oldest in the region, the
coal having long since been mined out.
The ovens had gone to wreck, but have
recently been bought by W. J. Rainey,
who has repaired them and erected
others, until he now has one hundred
new ovens on the old site. Across the
Yough river from these is Mr. Rainey’s
Fort Hill plant. From the latter he has
put up two wire cables connecting with
the new Fayette works.
The coal from the Fort Hill mines will
be run across the river on these cables in
large iron baskets, holding awagonluad,
and dumped into a large bin, from which
the 100 ovens will be supplied. Mr.
Rainey will thus gain needed room and
increased shipping facilities.

ProhlbltlonUts and limn Good Word
for Our Local Option Law.
En. JOURNAL.—Permit me to make a
few remarks concerning your editorial in
last week’s JOURNAL headed “Repeal a
Worse than Uselss Law.” The argil
ments you offer in favor of license are
entirely negative. You state that “pro-hibition
is a miserable failure, ’and then
offer your reasons for making this state-ment.
You assume that license is a
grand success. I say assume, for you do
not offer a single argument to show that
the failings of prohibition are not to be
found lindet the license laws. Your
method of reselling the conclusion that
license is a success is something like this:
Local option is a failure; therefore, li-cense
is a success. A truly simple but
not a very wise method of reaching a
conclusion. Yet this is the way in which
most license people deal with the ques
tion of tbe liquor traffic. They assume
that because the frying pan is hot, there-fore
the fire must be cool. If the license
laws have done away with the evils of
prohibition or local option then let us
try flie license laws. But the.real truth
of the matter is that not a single evil of
local option is done away with by the
license law.
Let me notice your facts in last week’s
JOURNAL. YOU say that you have “seen
the illegal liquor traffic In Mt. Pleasant
grow into a power for evil that to day
openly defies our worse than useless local
option law.” Will you kindly name a city
or town in America where the illegal
liquor traffic has not grown as a power
of evil? The truth of the statement that
the liquor traffic as a power for evil is
daily growing greater is denied b) no
one. It is growing everywhere. Sincere
social reformers are appalled at tlie stu-pendous
proportions the illegal traffic is
assuming all over the country, so that
your statement proves nothing—at least,
in the direction of license.
Is it any wonder that it lias grown
about Mt. Pleasant in the past eight
years? Did you have such a >pulation
to control eight years ago as you have
to-day ? While the population has been
growing at a wonderful rate, the power
to control the population has not increas
ed accordingly. As a society grows in
numbers, it must grow in power to con-trol.
Such lias not been the case with
Mt. Pleasant. With a city population
about her she remains a country town,
so far as her police power is concerned.
A city ward with the population of Mt.
Pleasant lias at least five times as much
police power back of it as Mt. Pleasant
has. The great wonder to me is not
that the local option law, or nuy of (lie
borough laws, Is imperfectly enforced,
but that it can be enforced at all. With
such a mixed population asMt. Pleasant
has, and with her little civil power, she
has done remarkably well in controlling
the population she has to govern.
You say, “THE JOURNAL has seen men
who two, three or four years ago were
without a dollar, now worth thousands
and every cent of it made by the sale of
liquor.” The same is true of hundreds
of pecole in license towns. I know of
men in these license cities who have re-tired
from active life on the fortunes
made in the same traffic. Not long ago
I heard of a man who boasted that he
had cleared $12,000 in the laBt three or
four years. The fact that these illegal
liquor dealers have gotten rich is a great
objection to men who envy them their
ill-gotten gains. “Instead of allowing
these poor, miserable speak-easy fellows
to get rich let us get rich ourselves” is a
splendid argument for license in some
men’s minds.
“It has seen boys, some of them not
yet In their teens, stagger home at night
from these dens of vice,” &o. Has not
every one who ever lived in license
towns seen the same thing? I have not
seen such a thing in Mt. Pleasant, but I
have seen boyB and girls Btagger home
from denB of vice in licensed towns and
cities.
“It has seen honest,well-meaning Pro-hibitionists
try and fail to root out tbe
evil by recourse to law.” Have you ever
sought to find out why these efforts have
failed? Had these well-meaning, de
lnded Prohibitionists been given the
proper support would they have failed?
I do not think that their work has been
a failure. They have been and are the
people who have kept back the deluge
of iniquity in Mt. Pleasant, as much as
it has been kept back.
That tbeis are “speak-easies” in Mt.
Pleasant, that these dens openly defy
the law, and that they are the source of
on Immeasurable amount of sin and sor-row
no one can deny; but that these
evils will be abolished by opening li
censed saloons is against the experience
of every city and town in Pennsylvania.
The liquor curse has grown'into such
stupendous proportions that nothing
short of Divine power can perfectly con-trol
it.
The Sunday law is not carried out in
Mt. Pleasant any better than the local
option law. Shull we repeal the Sun-day
laws? The laws dealing with the
social evil are as dead a la’ter as the law
dealing with illicit liquor selling. Shall
we petition the Legislature to give Mt.
Pleasant licensed houses of prostitution,
as they once did in St. Louis? This
question of the liquor traffic will trouble
the world as long as men are in it. It is
an idle dream to expect that the day will
ever come wiien mortal men will be able
to perfectly carry out laws which are in-tended
to regulate men’s passions.
With all of its failings Mt, Pleasant to-day
has lees drunkenness than any town
of its size in the country. I have seen
the workings of the license law at its
best, and one night last summer I saw
more drunkenness in one of the districts
of Pittsburg than I have see in Mt Pleas-ant
in the last tour years.
GEO. P. DONEHOO.
REV. RILEY SUSPENDED.
Tile Well Known aielhoillat Mlnl.ttr
Convicted of Imprudent Conduct.
The trial of the Rev. J. T. Riley, the
well known Methodist minister, fur
alienating the affections of W. J. Min-nick
s wife, of Braddock,was commenced
in the Methodist book rooms, Pittsburg,
Tuesday morning, January C. The court,
aB established, was as follows: Presiding
Elder Jones, judge; Revs. E. S. White,
IV. 0. Davis, A. P. Leonard, L. R. Jones,
S. L. Mitchel, 0. A. Emerson and D. ]I.
McKee, jury; counsel for the church,
Rev. Drs. Petty and Holmes. The court
was held with closed doors and the
charges were:
"First—Imprudent and umninisterial
conduct, ns revealed in the practice of
improper familiarities with women other
than his wife.
“Second—Immorality, based upon the
alleged fact that Mr. Riley’s conduct
with Mrs. Minnick contributed to the
strained relations which culminated in
Mr. and Mrs. Minnick’s separation.”
The trial did not close until about 5
o’clock Friday morning last. Rev. Riley
was subjected to only a short cross ex-amination,
which was closed at three
o’clock the afternoon before. The com-mittee
then adjourned until 7 o’clock in
the evening, when the arguments in the
case were commenced. The arguments
lasted until two o’clock the next morn-ing,
and then Ihe committee proceeded
to a ballot. The final decision was not
reached until three hours later. Rev. J.
F. Jones, Presiding Elder of the Wash-ington
district of the Pittsburg Confer-ence
of ibe Methodist Episcopal church,
who was judge in the case, then prepared
the following statement tor publication:
“The committee of investigation in the
case of the Rev. J. T. Riley concluded
its work early Friday morning, having
remained in session all of Thursday
night. The charge of imprudent and
umninisterial conduct was sustained by
a yule of six to one. The charge ot im-morality
was not sustained, the vote
being one for and six against. The
finding of the committee suspends Mr.
Riley from all ministerial and church
privileges nmil the ensuing session of
die Pittsburg conference, at which time
the case will come up for trial. The
conference meets in Uniontown about
Oct. 1 next.
WANT MORE MONEY.
A II•■solvttton of the Fariiirrs’ Institute
Asking Additional State Fund*.
The second annual Farmers’ Institute,
held here, closed Tuesday afternoon, and
that the meeting was a success in every
respect is evidenced by w bat every one
in attendauce lias to say of it. The
weather was rough and yet representa-tive
farmers from every section of West-inoreland
and the northern end of Fay-ette
were present. The wisdom of hav-ing
fewer and shorter papers than last
vear was shown by the general manner
in which many present joined in the dis-cussion
of all subjects as they were
brought up. At the close the following
resolution was adopted:
“In consideration of the inefficiency of
the funds set apart by the appropriation
of the State Legislature for holding farm-ers’
Institutes, be it resolved that we ask
our representatives in the Legislature of
this slate to set apart and appropriate
such funds as may be found necessary
and sufficient to carry out the work
which lias already been done witli so
much success.”
DON’S SENATORIAL SCALP.
TO BUY RAINEY OUT.
Tlie Big Coke Operator. Salil to be Alter
lita Intercuts.
On account of the present coke situa-tion
the big coke operators are said to be.
seriously discussing a proposition to buy
out W. J. Rainey, who is in the business
solely for Mr. Rainey, for $l,000,b00.
The reported purchasers havejust started
in to fight the Hhenango and Mahoning
Valley furnace men and are becoming a
trille disconcerted over the probability
that the eastern furnace men will also
shut down pending a reduction in the
price of Connellsville coke. In connec-tion
with tliis the situation in tlie coke
region over the wage difficulty is cans
ing the operators some hard thinking.
An operator, In speaking of the report,
said: “Rainey has been the thorn in
the side of the coke men for several
years. He has always had non-union
labor and sold tinder standard prices,
lie is holding out for an offer of $1,000,
000 for his $700,0C0 plant. In tlie event
of our buying him out the operators will
then be able to control the coke market
with more success.”
A WILD RUMOR THAT THE PRESI-DENT
WANTS IT.
Llltle Stock Taken In Hie Story as Cam-eron
Will To-day More Titan Likely
be Elected Ills Own Successor.
A wild story was sent out from Wash-ington,
Sunday, to the effect that I’reel-dent
Harrison had decided to use all tlie
administration machinery to defeat Cam-eron
for United States Senator. The re-port
stated tlmt tlie President and Post-master
General IVauamaker had sum
moued Senator Quay to a personal eon
lerence. It was stated iliatMr. Harrison
had abundant reason for putting on tlie
war paint against Cameron and desiring
Ids defeat at Hamsburg to-day as he had
heard that Cameron before the election
of ’88 had said lo a Florida Senator at
the Fifth avenue hotel that Bcu Harri-son
was a chump; that if elected, lie
(Cameron) never expected to darken the
doors of the White House, and that in
all tlie Harrison household there was not
a single thoroughbred.
Quay was given to understand that
Dim had even cherished and still cher-ished
an ambition to occupy the White
House himself after next year. It was
also made plain at that conference that
if Cameron should be elected, he would
no longer ride behind Quay, as he had
done for tlie past three years, and that
when two ride the same horse one must
needs ride before, and tlie man who
would hold the reins would lie Don Cam-eron.
Quay was also informed that Har-rison
had been Importuned to turn out
tlie red headed and hopeful Cooper and
Dave Murlin because of their “perni-clous
activity” in behalf of tlie Senior
Senator. Mr. Quay was then inlormed
if he wanted peace witli lids administra
tion he must help toturn down Cameron.
The article closed by stating that Quay,
after several days’ deliberation, had de-cided
to stand by Cameron.
While the story created general com-ment
it did not obtain much weight at
Harrisburg as it is thought there that If
Harrison desires a second term, as lie is
said to do, lie would not care to tint ago-nize
Cameron. All indications continue
to point to the re-election of J. Donald
Cameron as United States Senator at to-day’s
election. Taggart,of Montgomery
still keeps on his fighting clothes, how-ever,
and each member of the Legislature
lias received a letter from his local
Grange, if such it can be called, asking
him to vote lor Taggart because lie rep-resents
the farmer. But the seutiment
seems to he for Cameron, and he will un-doubtedly
lie tlie chosen one, and t hat
wii Imut serious Republican opposition.
Even Colonel Lambert, of the Philadel-phia
Press, which has been making a
light against Cameron, admitted that lie
would be elected. Senator George Handy
Smith said : “Cameron will be elected
beyond a doubt, that is assured.”
AN INTERESTING CASE.
Supreme Court Ruling In That of Greena-buifC
Borough vs. Senator Laird.
Interest has been revived in the case
of the borough of Greensburg against
ex Senator Laird. The Board of Bur-gesses
paved the street upon which tlie
residence of the ex Senator is situated,
but Mr. Laird refused to pay bis propor-tionate
share. The case was taken to
court and was argued before Judge
White, of Indiana, who decided against
the borough and it was taken to the Su-preme
Court.
The higher court says : “Assuming as
we are bound to do, that these facts are
as stated iu tbe affidavit of defense, we
are of the opinion that the case must go
to a jury.” An application will be made
to the court to advance it tor trial at the
coming term ot court in this county.
This case put a quietus on all proposed
street improvements not only in the
county seat but in surrounding towns.

COAL AND COKE.
nrloiia Item* Gathered from the Sur-rounding
Work*.
In the anthracite coni regions of Penn-sylvania
last year 1,086 persons were in-jured
and 275 killed outright.
All employes of the Cambria Iron
Works at Johnstown will suffer a 10 per

Five thousand men are affected.
A syndicate of Cleveland capitalists is
negotiating for tbe purchase of Secre-tary
of State Blaine’s 1,040 acres of coal
and 350 acres of surface near Elizabeth.
It is reported that between 800 and
1,000 acres Of coal laud have been pur-chased
near Perryopolis, Fayette county,
with a view to building a large coke
plant.
There was a report circulated yester-day
tba’ the eulire Standard coke plant
of the Frick company would be hanked
next week; hut, au investigation showed
that no such a move was contemplated.
It is reported that the eastern blast
furnaceinen will shut down their estab-lishments
for reasons similar to those
which led to the putting out of blast of
the Mahoning and Sbenaugo valley
stacks—high freight rales and dear coke.
The Mouongabela river coal miners
are still uut. None of the local trade op-erators
have yet granted the advance.
The lniL irs are hopeful aud say they
will hold out six months, if necessary,
to gain their point, ail advance from 3
to 3J cents for digging.
Work has been resumed in the ill-fated
Hill Farm mines at Dunbar. Tbe Duu-bur
Furnace Company has a large num-ber
of men at work in the mines trying
to penetrate them and quench the smoul-dering
fire. If this is not done now it is
feared the mine is ruined.
The conference between the miners

last night's honors, that ladv’saupport is
scarcely less deserving of praise. The

TUESDAY, JANUARY 20.
LET US UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.
Itev. Mr. Donelioo, In Ills defence of
our local option law, makes THE JOUR-NAL
assume tliat license is a grand suc-cess
because prohibition has proved itself
a miserable failure. Now, prejudice
must have dimmed the reverend gentle-man’s
glasses; for, wo never said any-thing
of the kind. We have, however,
always claimed that It would be better
for Mt. Pleasant, even in the interest ol
temperance, to have lleense than con-tinue
to remain under the present local
option law that is the merest farce. As
proof of this claim we cite the well-known
fact that pcoplo from Scottdale
and surrounding licensed towns do come
to Mt. Pleasant on Sundays and do get
liquor which is denied them at home on
that day.
We favor the repeal of the present act,
believing that, were we given the benefit
of the Brooks law, the severe penalties of
the latter could then he the more easily
visited upon richly deserving violators of
the same. And while we believe licensed
bars would be better for Mt. Pleasant
than “speak-casies” we do not, nor will
we, advocate the former which, even
witli local optlop repealed, Is a matter
that would rest* with our citizens. If
they then desire iWnse they could get it;
Mf they prefer. u*do without it Judge
IMly-wAuiffeurely respect their wishes
sue refuse all applicants for license. So,
let us understand each other and be hon-est.
Prohibition does not prohibit and
THE JOURNAL is doing wlmt it can to
have it repealed, and farther than that it
will not go.

WOMEN FOR SCHOOL DIRECTORS.
The Committee of Fifty, which lias
done so much to purify Philadelphia’s
local government, In its circular of a re-cent
date eelllng forth the standard of
lltuess required of the candidates for the
various municipal olllees to be filled at
the coming election, indicated its willing
ness to Indorse women ns candidates for
School Directors when they were found
to possess the proper qualifications. It
follows this with the publication of the
names of twenty-six women in thirteen
wards who have signified their willing-ness
to accept nominations for this re
sponsible position.
As pointed out a year ago by THE
JOURNAL, the Constitution of Pennsyl-vania
makes women eligible to any of-fice
of control or management under the
school laws of the state. A large major-ity
of the teachers of the state are w omen
and experience has shown that they are
especially qualified to teach. In the
limited number of instances in which
women have been elected as School Di-rectors
or County or City Superintend-ents
they have discharged their duties
quite as intelligently as men, and their
devotion to the cause ol education lias
displayed no tinge of partisanship.
Where tried the experiment lias proved
entirely satisfactory, and we would again
urge the favorable consideration of tills
subject at the hands of Mt. Pleasant’s
voters.
Here is wlmt that progressive journal,
the Philadelphia Times, has to say In re
gard to the matter: “The schools in al-most
every ward would he the better for
the election of one or more intelligent
women on each of the local boards. The
Committee of Fifty has made public the
names of a number of public-spirited
women who are willing to accept nomi-nations,
and the nominating conventions
|n each of the thirteen wards included
could not do a more popular thing or
any tiling better calculated to advance the
interests of the schools than to place these
names on the tickets, and it would be all
the better if they Were placed on the
tickets of both parties. There is no dan-ger
that there will he too many women
on tlie School Boards.”
POWERS OF A CORPORATION.
The Supreme Court has just handed
down an opinion affirming the non auit
of the lower court in the case of John C.
Henry against the Pittsburg & Lake Erie
Railroad Company. Mr. Henry was a
traveling passenger agent for the defend-ant
company, which suspended him and
other employes, pending an investiga-tion,
on account of irregularities discov-ered
in the ticket department.
A day or two after the suspension ar-ticles
were published in the Pitt6burg
newspapers reflecting upon the honesty
of Mr. Henry and one or two others.
These were supposed to come from the
company through Superintendent Hol-brook.
The investigation relieved the
suspected employes ot all blame, but they
were not Reinstated, and the action was
begun tiy Mr, Henry against the com-pany
and Mr. Holbrook on the ground
that they had wantonly Injured his rep-utation.
The lower court non suited the
case against the company, but said that
an action against Mr. Holbrook might
hold. The case was tuken to the Su-preme
Court, however, as It stood.
Justice Paxton, lu the opinion banded
down, says: “The right of the general
superintendent to suspend the employes
was not and could not well be disputed
without a’greater stretch to the relation
between employer and employe than we i
are disposed to sanction. A railroad cor-poration
or an individual may discharge
an employe with or without cause at
pleasure, unless restrained by some con-tract,
so that I don’t see that the question
of malice and want of probable cause
have anything to do with the case. If
an employer, in discharging a clerk or
other employe, casts an unjust impuia
lion upon his character, that is quite an-other
thing, anil for which he might be
held responsible. In this case no nsper
smn appears to have been east upon the
plaintiff's character except such as might
he inferred from ids suspension. No
charge was made against him.
“The other charge, that the railroad
company was reponslble for a libel pub
lished by its general superintendent,is yet
more novel. There was no evidence that
the articles published in the papers were
dictated or even inspired by the company,
or by Mr. Holbrook. That he was beset
by the reporters for information is cer-tain
; that he gave very little and that
reluctantly is equally certain. And even
if lie furnished all the information which
the plaintiff credits him, it would not
make him responsible for a libel unless
he went one step further and procured
its publication. Of this there was no
evidence The proprietors of the respect
ive papers may or limy not be responsi-ble
in damages for the publication; the
defendant company and Mr. Holbrook
certainly are not.”
The case was watched with much in-terest
and the above opinion from an em-inent
jurist like Judge Paxton must go
far towards establishing the right the
corporation or Individual has to discharge
any employe whose service has been un
satisfactory.
SERVANTS TO ORDER.
A number of Philadelphia ladies have
just organized into the Fidelity Reform
Servant Association, having for their ob
ject the making of good servants out of
material that is the reverse of excellent.
To this end they propose the establish
mentof a servants’ home and training
school, which, if it succeed at all, must
become in effect an employment ex-change,
at which servants may apply for
employment and employers for servants
No housekeeper will dispute, as an ex
change says, that the domestic service of
lids country is about as bad as It well
can he. There is no lack of those seek-ing
service, but of servants who know
how to serve there is a lamentable scar
city. It is probable that in many instan-ces
this Is not so mucli (lie fault of ser
vants as of mistresses. The former, lie
they ever so willing to learn, must be
taught, and in many houses the mistress-es
know as little about tlie work of the
household ns the green servants, and can
teach them nothing. It follows, there-fore,
that few are well taught or have a
chance 'o be, and these few do not have
to seek tor places—places arc seeking for
them.
It the ladles of the Fidelity Reform
Servant Association can by any means
reform domestic service so that it will he
what it should be they will deserve well
ol tlie community. They certainjy have
undertaken a herculean task,
should be given all possible encourage-ment;
for, their success must mean the
commencement of a greatly needed re-form.

ALL HONOR to General Miles, whose
patience and firmness have solved the
Indian problem ofSouth Dakota and tliat,
too, with but very little bloodshed. And
the success with which Captain Pierce,
tlie new agent at Pine Ridge, is meeting
shows how much better it would be for
all Indian agencies to be in charge of
army officers.
THE Connellsville Courier lias long

from such a victory are apparent
at a glance.
TUK percentage of business failures in
the United Stales does not vary much

Tiie shutdown of the furnaces of the
Mahoning and Slienango valleys yester
day shows tliat ttie furnace operators are
in earnest In their refusal to operate at
tlie piescht rates fo * coke and coke trans-portation.
The shutdown will throw
10,000 men depending upon tlie furnaces
out of employment and several thousand
men engaged in furnishing and carrying
material to the furnaces, and at the same
time will lmve a depressing effect upon
the general business of a considerable
part of Western Pennsylvania and East-ern
Ohio because of the very large
amount ol money it will take out ol active
circulation. It is to tie hoped tliat the
coke producers and carriers and tlie fur
nacemen may come to an understanding
very soon and end a shutdown tliat will
be very expensive to them and their em-ployes
and Injurious to tlie business of
tlie general region.

Pittsburg Times,
Lord Salisbury once said that while he
did not admire the American frame of
government lie was impressed by the
wisdom of one feature of It—the Supreme
Court, to which disputes likely to become
dangerous could be taken up and
promptly* settled. He proves tlie sincer-ity
of Ids remark by tlie proceedings
which lie lias entered lu that court rcla
live to the Behring See dispute. It Is
not a novelty for one nation lobe sued in
its own court by another nation. That
happens when a foreign consul appeals
to the law in belwill of a fellow-country-man.
The noyelty in the present instance
is due to the magnitude of the interests

deadly serpent, had broken loose from
some circus, and was a wreathin’ anti
twistin’ ills way through Jouesvllle,
swallerln’ down a manor a woman every
few days, would men stand with their
hands in their pockets, or a leanin’ up
ag’inst barn-doors a-wliiltlin’, nrgiiiii’
feebly from year to year, whether it was
best to try to catch the serpent and cut
its head off, or whether It was best, after
all, to let him go free? After they had
seen some of their best friends gwallered
down hy it, wouldn’t they make an effort
to capture it? Wouldn’t they chase it
into any hole they could get it into?
Wouldn’t they turn the first key on It
they could get hold of? And if it broke
loose from that, wouldn’t they try
another key, and another, till they got
one tliat would hold him?
“ ‘Do you suppose they would rent out
that serpent at so much a year to crunch
and swaller folks accordin’ to law? And
would it be any easier for the folks that
was crunched and swallered, and for tlie
survivin’ friends of the same, if they was
killed hy act of Congress? What would
such a law be thought of,Sister Minkley?
And that is nothin’ to tlie laws as they
be. For what is one middlin’ sized ser
pent in a circus, that couldn’t eat more’ii
one man a week without any relish, to
this intemperance, tliat swallers down a
hundred thousand every year, and Is ns
big as the Great Midgard serpent I have
heard Thomas J. read about, whose folds
encompassed the earth.’
“Sister Minkley either! so loud that It
sounded some like a groan,and I kep’ on
in a dreadful eloquent way:
“ ‘We have got to take these things to
home. Sister Minkley, in order to realize
’em. Yours and mine are as far apart a-the
poles when we are talkin’ about such
hings. As a general rule we can bear
other foikses trials and sufferin’s with
resignation. When it is your brother
and husband that isgoin’ tlie downward
road, we can endure it with considerable
calmness; but when it is a part of my
own heart, my Willie or my Charley
that is goin’ down to ruin, we l'eel as if
men and angels must help rescue him.
It was this tliat sent forth the wonderful
Woman’s Crusade, tliat made tender,
timid wt men into heroes willin’ to oppose
their weakness to banded strength. It
was tilts tliat made victory possible to
them. What was the crusade to the Holy
Land tliat I have heard Thomas J. read
about to this? That was to protect, tlie
sepulchre where tlie body of our Lord
once laid, but this was to defend the liv
ing Christ, the God in man.’ ”—Copy

A WORD TO YOUNG MEN.
BY JOHN It. GOUGH.
I want, to say a word to tlie young
men. It is a grand tiling to he a \nnng
nmn; to have lite before you. Lite is be-hind
me. My record is pretty nearly
HIHCIC; yours is to make. I can’t change
my record to save my file. I can’t undo
a deed I have done or unsay a word I
have spoken to save my soul. No more
can you. You are making your record.
We old men have our record nearly
made, and can’t change it. It is an aw ful
tiling when a man is sixty five vears of
rge to look out upon a stained, smeared,
smudged record, and know lie can’t
change it. Thank G«d, there is a man
who can wipe out the iniquity sufficient
to save us, as a school boy wipes his sum
off ihe slate. Even if a man is forgiven,
It. leaves a mark upon him lie will never
recover from—never.
Young men, you have life before you,
and you will have to map out which di-rection
you will take. They tell us that
eight miles above us nothing animal can
exist. It is death to all animal life eight
miles In that direction. It don't, depend
on the distance you travel, but on tlie Hi
rection; and when a man takes a wrong
direction lie knows it. Young men, yon
need not tell me when you are doing
wrong you don’t know it. You do.
There is not a young man who is break-ing
his mother’s heart by dissipation,
but knows it; knows tliat every glass he
drinks will be a thorn in the way of him
I would say, then, to young men, stop
drinking and help us fight It. Fight
lids awful evil; it rests with tlie young
men of our country to do it, and to win
ihe victory. Fight iti Fight it!

BY BISHOP C. H. FOWLER, D. D.

mixes his drugs. By night ami hy day
he. draws out the catalogues of crime
With hands polluted with blood, and
lucks that, w riggle and crawl and hiss;
witli purpose fixed for slaughter, and
with heart unpitying and unrelenting,
he presses his Infernal work With the
gold Ins crimes have brought him, lie
seeks to secure friends in the halls of
legislation; to put his judges upon the
bench, his advocates at the bar, his wit
nesses on the stand, and, to make surety
doubly sure, his views in the public
mind. lie would control, if he could,
not, only our almshousesand prisons, but
also our legislative halls and public
presses. He wtould fill not only our cells
and graveyards, but also our judgment
seats and our police commissions. This
is our foe—cunning as a lox, wise as a
serpent, strong as an ox, bold as a lion,
merciless as a tiger, remorseless as a
hyena, fierce as a pestilence, deadly as a
plague. To condemn and correct such a
criminal is not the pastime of an hour,
but the manly, hero-born, martyr-bred
work of a lifetime.

HEAL HAIR HAISEKS.
WHY THR RED MAN DESIRES THE TOP
OF OTHER PEOPLE'S HEADS.
lloif llir ImltaiiB BIIKI|) Whit* Men, ami
While Men Indiana-The Hurliy o(
Apache Mcalpe In AVnrftorp.
It is the fall of 1873. The Cheyennes,
tllasntlsfled with their place In the Indian
Territory, have broken Into small band*
and are breaking for their old homo in
the north. Two companies of United
States cavalry are In pursuit, but the In
dlaiis outnumber the soldiers, and when
the troops get too dose they turn and
tight like cornered wildcats.
Every day the soldiers Awl fresh evi-dences
of the ferocity of the savages they
are pursuing. Every village along their
path has been devastated. The mutila-ted
bodies of men lie In the streets—four
or live In every town.
Finally, the troops reach the village ol
the Mennoultes. There they find twenty-seven
men and hoys, almost the entire
male population ol the town. The In-dians
were less merciful to the women.
A fate worse than death was theirs. Sev-eral
of them are found naked and stark
mad wandering on the prairie.
There are other marauding hands of
Indians In the country, but (lie work of
the Cheyenne Is unmistakable.
The.bodies are not scalped. This Is
Cheyenne’s way of expressing contempt
for those he kills. There Is no glory In
carrying the scalp of a man who will not
tight. One of the articles of the faith of
the sect that constitutes the population
ol the village is abhorrence of war and
all manner of bloodshed. There was not
a firearm In the village when the two
hundred Indians swept through It.
Further on the soldiers loutnl a woun-ded
horse lying on the prairie. Near
him Is a cow-boy’s hat; by it lie two or
three empty rille cartridges. There was
a light there. A hundred yards further
on are more shells, and the grass is spot-ted
with blood.
Fifty yards further they find the body
of a cow-boy. Atrout linn are more
slrclls--pislol cartridges this time.
The cow boy’s long hair Is gone. Here
was an adversary whom there was some
glory in killing. To the soldiers lamlliar
with life and death on the plains there is
no mystery about what they see on the
prairie there.
The cow-boy met the Indians and rode
for his life away from them. Hut among
all those who pursued some must have
had horses swifter than the cow-boy's
pony. He tried to keep them back with
his ritle, hut the Cheyennes are not cow-ards.
80 the unequal race was run, the
Indians firing as they pursued. They
shot his horse, and he tried to make a
tort of the animal’s body. Maybe lie
kept them off for a time—(lie empty
shells would indicate as much. Then
they began to circle out around him to
take him from the rear. His fort was no
longer tenable, and lie ran again.
When the second shells ami tho blood-stained
grass were found it bullet reached
him, ami lie went down, still lighting,
lie must hRve recovered enough to make
another effort. Another shot reached
him as he dropped from exhaust loll, and
he fought on to the end whh his six-shooter.
That is why they took Ills scalp.
Just the bait on the top of the dead
cowr-boy’s head was gone The scalping
knife cut around just below Hie line of
the hair on tlie loichcad. I hen the knile
circled Ids head, taking hi iliat portion
of the scalp where the hair divides behind.
J'lmt Is the way they scalp a while man.
Jfllad their victim been a rtiuux or a
Kiowa they would not have taken BO
much. Hut H white man does not dis-tinguish
his sealplock.
The seal pluck consists of the axis of
the scalp. Just Iliat spot where the hair
that yon brush to the front and to the
sides joins that which you brush back
towards ihe neck. Nearly all the In-dians
take great trouble with the scalp
lock. They let the hair grow longer
there than anywhere else and hraid it as
carefully as a Chinaman does Ids queue.
Frequently they braid strings of buck
skin or rabbit-skin in It and ornoment
It with bits of grass or bright metal.
Death to one of these Indians, provided
he does not lose his scalp lock, means
little. He Is never dishonored while this
wisp of hair is still attached to his skull.
In the earlier days of Indian lighting
a whole tribe would hold a dance of re-joicing
if they tound their dead after a
battle unscalped. Some of ihe western
tribes have a belief that accounts for the
consideration with which the sealplock Is
regarded. It is that the spirit of the
dead Indian is lifted up to the happy
hunting grounds by his scalp lock, and
without this appendage he can never
reach the Indian paradise.
So these Indians will do northing to
prevent their scalps from ornamenting
the belt or tepee of an enemy. There
are numerous instances of warriors who,
finding themselves cut off from all hope
of escape, have ridden over precipices
and gone down singing a song of triumph
because the enemy could not get their
hair.
This is also the reason that the Indians
always carry oil their dead and hide
their bodies where they can never be
found.
The manner of scalping varies little
among different tribes. The Sioux take
a smaller piece of the scalp-than most
others, but even this depends on the
amount of lime they have for operation.
They are not, however, as particular
as the Cheyennes and as to the chat acter
of the man from whose head the hair
comes. Their habit is to scalp every
man, woman or child that they kill.
But the Indians are a strange people
and no rule is invariable. For instance,
when they wiped out Custer’s command
the “chief with yellow hair” was not
touched. They took his epaulets and his
' elt, but that was all, while many of the
"Idlers were hacked and mutilated
rightfully.
And yet Custer had been their most
onstant enemy and had fought aa long
! there was a breath in his body.
During the devastating march of the
heyennes northward a couple of Cap-tain
Wood’s troopers were killed. They
burled them near where they fell. After
the Indian trouble was over the soldiers
went out after the bodies of their com
fades. They found that the Indians had
dug them up and scalped them.
The prooeee of scalping is very simple.
The Indian simply holds the hair on the
top of the head In the left hand. Twp
seiul oircular out* are made and then a
good pull tears the scalp off.
In a Stockton street saloon a dusty
handful of liair Is nulled to the wall. It
!< the scalp ol Running Devil, a Cora-uiniiche.
It Is over twenty years since
the little braid was torn from the Cofu-tnaiiohe’e
head hy a scout, and the scalp
Is shrunken and looks like leather thnt
has long been exposed to the sun.
The Apaches seldom If ever scalp.
Tliero was a lime when rewards were
paid for Apache scalps, both In Mexico
and Arizona. The fashion on the Auier
lean side was simply to skin the head ;
Mexicans, however, did the work more
neatly. They simply cut a strip right
over (lie middle of the head, from able to
side, and under the ears. Tills gave
them a baud ol liair with the eara at-tached
and that was ample|proof that the
Indian from whose head It came was
dead.
It must he SHIII, however, that even
when scalps were worth $'^U0 apiece the
market was never glutted. The people
on the homier do not like to hunt
Apaches.
The Indians are usually closely pur-sued
while oil their raids and have not
much lime to spend In scalping. Du this
account a sinnll number of people have
been scalped and have lived to tell of It.

‘‘Andrew, are you going to the vil-lage?”
“Yes, wile.” “Then don’t for-get
to bring mo a bottle of that Kemp’s
Balsam for coughs and colds, the medi-cine
that cured Aunt Mary’s cough after
she had foolishly let it run along until
she had about given up ever getting rid
of it. Remember Kemp’s Balsam, An-drew,
and take no other. You cau get
it at any of the drug stores.” 10 7 ly
Allow me to add my tribute to the effi-cacy
of Ely’s Cream Balm. I was suffer-ing
from a severe attack of Influenza
and catarrh and was induced to try your
remedy. The result was marvelous. I
could hardly articulate, and in less than
twenty-four hours the catarrhal symp-toms
and my hoarseness disappeared
and I was able to sing a heavy role in
Grand Opera with voice unimpaired. I
strongly recommend it to all singers.—

crime but a deed of political vengeance.
—The will of Emma Abbott was filed for
probate in New York. The estate is
valued at over $1,000,000. The majority
of it is given to charitable institutions.—
The contest over tho will of the late
Robert ltay Hamilton wns begun by his
wife, Eva, in New York.—In JerseyCity
C'has. Threleks and his wife, both Ger-mans,
were found dead In bed. They
lind suicided by taking poison.
WEDNESDAY.—The Ilelfast National
League passed a vote of confidence in
Parnell. At Dublin Parnell was given
an enthusiastic reception.—Over 401
Russian .lews landed at Dover, en route
for America.—Amelia Hives, the Ameri
can authoress who has been quite III at
Paris with a severe attack of bronchitis
is ini proving.—Senator Stanford lias been
re-elected Senator from California.—
There is a corner in rubber. The entire
supply of rubber from Hra/.il is under
control of one man.—At Tuscunibia,Mo„
Mrs. Freeman, proprietress oftheTus-cumbia
hotel, shot a photogcaper named
Fulkerson, inflicting a fatal wound.
Fulkerson seized the gun and shot the
woman, who died instantly.—The far
mere in Kansas have supplemented the
Citizens’ alliance. It is against the in
terests of Ingalls.—To-morrow morning
the house and senate of Illinois will meet
in joint session and nominatea candidate
for the U. S. Senate. Harwell will prob-ably
be re-elected.
THURSDAY.—At New Orleans last night
one of the brightest lights in the pugi
1 istic world in the person of Jack Hemp
se.v, the invincible, received his quietus
at the hands of I’.ob Fitzsimmons, the
tall New Zealander, who, in a single
tight, has leaped into the foremost rank
in his profession In the world, gaining
the title of middle weight champion and
winning $12,000 when he put his man to
sleep in 13 rounds before 4,500men fr<
all parts of the country in the rooms of
the Olympic Athletic Club. The gate
receipts footed up (80,000.—Only Spenke
,Heed's gavel and a possible Presidents!
veto now stand between this country and
absolute free coinage. The combination
that lias assumed control of the Senate
yesterday swept everything before it
and the friends of (lie gold standard
were routed horse, foot and dragoon.—
Pine Ridge specials show that General
Miles lias the hostile Indians tinder al
most perfect control. The question of
disarming the bucks has not yet been
settled.
FRIDAY.— Dr. Koch today reveals the
secret of his remedy fur consumption
in the Medical Journal. The lymph
composed of pure generated tuberculosis
bacilli In a solution of glycerine, which
which forms from 40 to 50 per cent, of
ttie compound. The substance is a der-ivation

The hostile Indians have taken the po-sitions
at the Pine liidge agency as as-signed
them by General Miles. Their
chiefs will disarm them. The agent will
take the guns, giving each owner a check
and when the bucks want to limit or kill
beef they can get their weapons by pro
senting the check and returning the
arms when through using them.
SATURDAY.—Reports of the state of
trade at different points show general
improvement in tho volume of business,
easier money markets and a more cheer-jug
outlook. The money markets have
grown easier and banks are able to help
customers more liberally, but at the east
tlie difficulty of making commercial loans
has not entirely ceased, though money
on call is very abuudant. In other words,
those who have money want their funds
at immediate command in case of any
emergency. The market for woolen
goods is broader and more hopeful, and
the demand from clothiers is distinctly
better, while the boot and shoe trade
continues highly satisfactory. The week-ly
output of pig iron January I was but
187,500 tons, against 183,848 December 1
and 174,038 a year ago, and since Janu-ary
1 there have been many furnaces
stopped, further reducing the output to
only about 150,000 tons weekly. In gen-eral
the course of prices for manufactured
products is not helpful to producers,
while the cost of living and production
is enhanced by speculative advances in
the prices of many farm products.
SUNDAY.—A report from Washington
states that the President notified Quay
that he should do all in his power to de-feat
Cameron.—Moody is to receive the
Republican nomination for the Souih
Dakota Senatorsbip.—Governor Hill will
he a candidate for Senator.—A forgery
causes a boom in the stock of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad.
—A Cincinnati firm takes the tariff act
into court.
MONDAY.—There was a terrible ex-plosion
of natural gas in the Hotel Ma-rion
at Findlay, O., yesterday shortly
before noon. It was known that gas
was escaping and the proprietor and
three plumbers started to locate the leak.
About 10 o’clock they entered the cham-ber
under the dining room and found
eucli an accumulation of gas that they
could not breathe, and it was suggested
that a hole be sawed through the floor
into the diDing room In order to obtain
fresli air. This was done, and just as
the hole was made ODB of the dining
■room girls, who was sweeping the floor,
stepped upon a match, and in an instant
an explosion occurred which not only
wrecked the building but killed twogiris,
Katie Walter and Ella Johnson, and
maimed and injured a dozen other em-ployes.
