A Little Discussion that Led 10
HlO0A.


Last evening while Squire Miller, who
is generally considered the chief Justice
of the magisterial bench Of this county,
was riding home on the street cars he
became involved in political discussion
with couple of friends. The discus
sion commenced in jest, grew very
warm, and soon hot words passed, when
the Squire asserted his Officially capacity
and threatened TO make an arrest if any
violence was offered. He says that with
out meaning to do so he said something
at which his friend Roheson took offence,
and commenced using language highly
insulting. The Squire says he tried to
explain and reason with the man, but
Robson was too much excited to listen.
Finally he drew his pistol from his
pocket and told Robeson he
would shoot him if he attempted
to strike, but would not resent his per-
sonal abuse. Robson replied, II
believe I'll try you on: anyhow" and
suiting the action to the word, threw
his fist against the 'Squire's cheek bone.
Upon this the indignant Squire leyeled
his cannon and fred, the ball taking
effect in Robeson's thigh. A young col
ored girl, who was a passenger in the
car at the time, made rush for the
front door as soon as she heard the re-
port Of the pistol and never stopped till
she had mounted astride the mule. The
driver had time getting the girl of the
mule and ..quieting her fears. This
morning the Squire appeared before
Recorder Winters and gave bond in
the sum of $4,000 for his appearance be-
fore the Criminal Court.

THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
The river is once more declining, but
very slowly, and lie now one foot eighteen
inches above low water, with six feet
over Reeves and about the same depth
to Cairo, above which point there is only
four feet eight inches to st. Louis. The
water in the upper Mississippi is rising,
and at St. Paul the river has swollen
two feet, and heavy rains below there
may benefit the river below. The Mis-
souri, is low, but may improve. The
Ohio is falling at Cincinnati and above,
but rising below. The lower streams are
not improving much. The Arkansas is
down to sixteen inches, and White river
has about thirty inches over Little Is
land. The weather is cloudy and damp,
and old Prob" says it won't clear off
before pm, if it does then.

Destruction of the stonerstown Trestle

On last Wednesday, about half-past
three o'clock, in the aftenoon,a whirlwind
struck the Stonerstown trestle, few yards
below where itspanned the township road
leading directly into StonerstOwn, and
wrenched span of it from its foundation
and flung it about as SO many splinters.
Then the whole work, bench after bench
began to fall reminding one of the fall of a
row of bricks.
No one could imagine, without some oc-
cular demonstration, that such vast guam
titles of timber are necessary to construct
works Of this kind. BY actual calculation
the amount was found to be very little, if
any, short of two millions of feet. Great
trees, sound to the core, were shivered and
splintered into mere fragments. The great
er part of the timber was new and had
the trestle not been struck by tornado
would have lasted for years.
The company has resolved not to rebuild
it. A heavy force of men was immedi-
ately employed to erect temporary track,
by means of a switch, back to the river,
thence across it by temporary trestle and
thence forward, about mile and-a-half, tc
Sugar Camp trestle, where it will connect
with the present track. One of the routes
heretofore surveyed will no doubt be adopt
ed, and during the summer it will be gra-
ded and the high bridge and trestle avoided
altogether. The company expects to have
the road open again in the course of ten ol
fifteen days. Freight is transferred al
present. from the North to the South side
and return by wagons. Huntingdon Jour
