All of the wealthy spectators who
for years have specuIated in stocks, have
been wiped out by the decline. There
is consequently no one to sustain the

princely bcquests to his relatives and

which he paid 100000. To-day he is
compelled to make over ah his property

Richard Schell, one of the recognized

tEIt Is stated that the Senate Committee
charged with the consideration Of the sub
ject. will speedily report constitutional
amendment changing the method OF electing
President and Vice President. Some rational
method should be substituted for the cum.
brous machinery of the Electoral College !;
but there does not appear to be any general
agreement as TO what the method should be-.
Sesntor Morton, who is Chairman Of the Sen
ate Committee, has given the matter careful
consideration, and will probably Sport u ba-
sis Of action.
OF the two propositions brought before the
Senate for o change in the method Of choosing
the President OF the United States, that of Mr.
Morton ss-lkely to command much more ia
vorable consideration than Mr.. Summers. Mr..
Sumner proposes a radical change to all elect
ion by popular vote of the whole country,
thus abolishing State lines 30 far as the Ma
tional Executive is concerned, and abOlIshing
the Office OF Vice President altogether. Mr..
Mortons proposition on the other hand. rec
ognlzcs the Federal principle by the district
vote, each State having number Of votes
equal TO the number OF Congressional Dis
tricts IL contains, which il casts according to
the voice of the several districts, instead oil
casting one vote, determined by fips majority
of the people uf the State. This plan will
bring ont a iairrr rxl rrssi"n oi the peoples
choice without sacrificing the reco Inized in
dependence OF State votes. II has also the mer
it Of Establishing the useless m,chincry Of tn

trip up the Moshannon Branch, on Monday, just
to see how things looked up that way. Save the
sickly appearance of ono or two cars loaded with
coal standing on the Moshannon Collicrys siding,
there was no show of business more than there
was on the sixteenth day OF November last, the
day after this fatal strike commenced. We saw
knots Of men standing at every siding, whom We
knew to be miners and who We knew had not
struck lick for noarly three months, many of
them our acquaintanccsj and on tho train were
also acquantances of ours, representatives Of tho
different works along the road We endeavored
to interview both sides that We might, In this is
sue, be enabled to give some word Of encourage
ment to those who are weekly looking for to do
so but at this writing we must confess ii looks as
far Of as 1t did the Gay 1t commenced, and unless
there is something secret at work that cannot or
will not be made known, 1t is so. We are now
rapidly approaching the end of the third month /;
and as ninety five thousand dollars is the amount
which was monthly paid out here, in the coal
business alone, too hundred and eighty five thou
sand doliars win be what we will have lost from
this region, and which of us can say wo have not
felt 1t, or that it has not redueed-for the timo
being, at least---the valuation Of our properties
We said that we interviewed parties on both sides,
and We are now convinced that the evasions Of
either party, to our even roundabout questions to
this all absorbing topic would have done credit
to the leaders of the "Know- Nothing" party in
the days of its brightest prosperity, and were met
about as follows "Don't know" "Can't say"
Haven't heard anything" "That may be-" ~
hope so."-0sceoia Repeine.

depot, the horses took fright and ran out Reed
street to Second, up that to Market down that on
the pavement, until the sled caught on the posts
Of the wooden awning erected in front Of EratEer
4 Lytle's store, which knocked the awning down
upon the horses and sled. But the horses sue
ceeded in getting out from under the roof, which
fell upon the sled, and with what was already on
made the load so heavy that the horses could not
move II, and q number of persons ran up and
caught tho horses by the brides. Accidentally
nobody received any injury, and the horses and
sled also escaped, and the tearing away Of the old
shed improves the appearance of things about the
store. Charley has a fast team, and they need
watching, or somebody will get hurt.
