MINING cAIAs1RoPHlEs.

One hundred and fifty-three men
killed, four hundred and sixty-two
wounded is the melancholy record
of mining catastrophes last year In
a portion of the anthracite fields of
Pennsylvania. Eighty-four widows
and two hundred and eighty-three
orphans are the sorrowing sufferers.
This list of casualties is as great as
the numbers of killed and wounded
in some of the memorable battles OF
the revolutionary war. The figures
refer only to the coal fields OF
Schuylkill, Columbia, Dauphin, and
Northumberland counties, and the
eastern district of Luzerne. Every
"a, 900 tons Of coal mined in Schuyl.
kill county cost one human life, and
every 10000 tons in Dauphin, 49,
600 tons in East Luzerne, and 200,.
600 tons in Northumberland, cost
one additional human life in each oi
those counties. Some of those sac.
rifices were caused by defective ar
rangements in the mines, but con.
siderable proportion of them, we
regret to say, were the result of in
herent dangers in all mining, which
the miners are so accustomed to
face that they grow careless about
them.

REPUBLICAN, STATE CENTRAL COM
MITT EE

The Republican State Central
Committee met at Columbus on
Wednesday and fixed upon the 21st
of May as the day for holding the
next State Convention. This date
is named as coming after the ad-
iournment of the Legislature, in
order to avoid the imputation cast
upon the convention last year as
having been manipulated by the
members of that body. The com
mittee took hopeful view. of the
prospects of the party in the next
campaign. 1t was agreed that who
ever is proven guilty of corruption
in the Credit Mobilier business,
must suffer and be dropped from
leadership in the party while the
party itself moves on.
The committee also urged the
Importance of securing Republi-
can majority in the approaching
Constitutional Convention. This
is thing to be attended to at once.
Republican counties should by all
means nominate straight Republi-
can tickets without compromise
with Liberals, or coalition with
Democrats.

KING AMADEUS.

Now that King Amadeus is King
no longer. all Europe unites in adj
miring and praising his patience and
moderation while on the throne.
Even the Spanish people are now
convinced that in driving the young
italian prince from the throne of Is
abella, they have lost a wise and ju-
dicious ruler. Amadeus, with his
wife and young child go home by
the way of Portugal, whence they
will embark by steamer for Rome.
The Portuguese government is pre-.
pairing to escort the royal voyagel
through its dominions with great
pomp and has prepared a palace al
Lisbon where he and his family will
rest preparatory to embarking fol
home. 1t may be said of the son ot
Victor Emanuel that anothing in his
(public) life became him like the

A DISTRESSED TALE.

A Camden IN. j. tale of avarice
and miserly privation surpasses fic-
ton in strangeness,and seems hard
" creditable. Two old maids twin
sisters), of that town, rich in dollars
being worth at least 100000, had
lived together for nearly genera
ton in their ancient, gable-end man
sion. bolted and barred from all in
tercourse with the outside world,
lest they should be robbed of the
treasure they boarded so carefully,
and making only occasional sallies
from the locked and darkened house
to purchase the scanty necessaries
which they begrudged themselves.
Not long since the strange sisters,
then nearly eighty years of age,
purchased a house upon different
street and moved their goods into it.
Days and weeks passed by, and the
neighbors discovering no signs of
living inhabitants about the place,
determined to fathom the mystery,
and with that purpose took police
aid and effected an entrance, when q
fearful scene met their astonished
gaze. In a sitting posture. on a
ragged, filthy bed, was one of the
sisters stark and cold in death, while
in opposite corner, crouched, NUT
tering and mumbling, cold and
starving, the other who, with the
ruling passion strong even in the
presence of death, shrieked out,
you've broken in our house and
come to rob us" Exhibiting fear
and anger at the intrusion instead
of delight at what should have been
a welcome deliverance from the hor-
rible situation. The poor wretch
was taken to a place of comfort and
cared for, though she is not expect
ed to recover.
