THE HOMICIDE IN GAYsPoRT.-The
Hollidaysburg Standard gives the follow
ing account of the late murder of young
Crawford We regret to announce that
terrible and distressing tragedy occurred
on Monday afternoon, (l6th lnstant,) at
half-past one o'clock, at the store Of D.
Watson & Co., iu Gaysport. 1t was the
monthly day for settling with the hands,
and James Crawford, aged about seven
teen, and son Of Maj. Jesse r. Crawford,
of Gaysport, was engaged on the part OF
Watson & Co., in settling with Nicholas
Riley, one of the hands at the furnace of
the Blair Iron and Coal Company. Some
dispute took place about the correctness
of ono of the charges, VIXEN, as We arc in
formed, angry words passing, Riley struck
y oupg Crawford in the stomach with
several blows of his fist, from the effects
of which he died in few moments. His
body was removed across the street TO the
residence of his father, where he had but
short time before left his mother and
sisters all unconscious of his sad fate
The family are plunged in the deepest
distress, and We feel sure that they have
one and all the sincere sympathy of the
community. Major Crawford was absent
at the time, and was at once telegraphed
By the friends of the family.
Riley was Immediately taken into Gus
tody by Sheriff Bechtel, aud, with the as
sistance of Constable Moore house, was
lodged in Jail.
Coroner Weidensall held an inquest On
the body, ard returned verdict in ac-
cordance with the facts above stated.

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.-Gore, the
murderer of Policeman Holmes of Johns
town, is kept ironed, as is generally known,
to guard against his escape from Jail. On
Thursday of last week, the watchman of
that Institution, while "going the grand
rounds" discovered that the prisoner had
cut the hobbies envirouirg his feet, pre-
paratoTy doubtless to attempting to break
away. lie was Immediately re-ironed,
aud more securely, and it is thought he is
now safe. Although strict search was
instituted therefor, the hobbies Gore had
relieved himself of could not be found for
a long time, and it was feared some one
of the prisoners had srdHosced them but
at length they were discovered in an ad-
joining cell, concealed under the bed
The prisoners in the Jail are a shrewd,
reckless set; strict watch must be kept
over them, or some of these ine mornings
not one will be left to tell the tale of the
escape of the others.

OLD FoRBEs.-This old editorial sinner,
who publishes the Humboldt Register.
somewhere in the neighborhood Of that
ancient river-has O way occasionally of
expressing his ideas which we do mt like.
We once remarked, concerning him, that
he was a good mar when he had his
senses. We think so still. But he goes
off occasionally into dream-land. He has
on two distinct occasions, strongly init
mated in his paper that ice were interested
in getting up the swindling reputation Of
"Pinewood District" The venerable
and erratic Forbes is entirely mistaken
we never owned an inch Of ground in
Pincwood-n never received a picayune
from any person who had. Whatever
was published in our local columns con-
corning /" Pinewood" was furnished by
our Virginia local reporter, who. we have
since believed, was imposed upon by such
men as GULL, Rose, Green, and others.
We doubt not, our reporter will so inform
the public. The Virginia papers were
similarly imposed upon. (rhe fellow
GULL, and his co-swindlers, owe a bill a,
this Office Of 1886, for printing a stock
book, more than a year and q half ago,
which they have never been honest enough
to settle, which they had better attend to
soon, or we shall "show up" the whole
crowd.)

The CONTRACT LEr.-The telegraph to-
day brings us the important information
that the contract for carrying the United
States mails between San Francisco and
China monthly each way has been let to
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
That company was the sole bidder, and
receives as great a subsidy as the Govern
ment has pc wer at present to give, namely,
half a million a year. TINS is the creates,
subsidy ever given BY our Government
for sea service, and we hope its effect will
be as beneficial to the country as antici.
pated. The effect which the establish.
ment of the line will have on the States
and Territories on the Pacific slope cannot
be other than most beneficial. II will
build up trade and increase travel, and
will operate most powerfully in urging
the speedy completion OF the grea, national
work, the Pacific Railroad. The policy Of
substituting steamship lines has been most
faithfully followed by the British Govern.
ment, but never adopted to any great cx.
tent by ours. Congress did grant a few
thousands to the Collins Company, but
the much greater amount which was given
the Cunard Company BY the British Par.
lament enabled the latter to drive of Il {
ships of the former from competition, and
now mails and passengers between Eng.
land and America are carried in British
bottoms and under the British flag. 1t
has always been British policy, too, to
establish and support pioneer lines. where
by to extend British influence and increase
British trade. In this case we have supe-
rior facilities and are first on hand, and
we want to see Uncle Sam watch this en-.
terprise with such care as will alwas keep
it ahead Of competition and secure to this
country the rich China trade.

Nor MUCH "PHGNIx."-Our neighbor
Of the Union thinks the transfer Of the
California Stage Conpany's line to Louis
McLane a sample of squeezing" by the
former performed on the latter. We can't
see j, in that light. As long back as three
months q prominent citizen Of Virginia,
who is deeply interested in the Dutch
Flat speculation, told us that McLane had
the California Stage Company under his
thumb, and could squeeze it out at
any moment. And he ~prophesied that
McLane would so do inside of six months.
So it has happened. The report that the
line was to be drawn off from Placerville
is incorrect; McLane having a mail con-
trac, hence via that road for four years, on
which he expects to keep up equally good
time with the most advanced progress Of
the Dutch Flat travelling facilities.
