Brookville Republican of last week.
On Monday night last, the store OF
Messrs. Steiner 4 Riuert, al Knoxville,
was broken open and small amount
of money and over $500 worth of goods
stolen. The door of the store was
pried open with a crow-bar. No clue
10 the perpetrators, but small portions
Of goods found on tho Punxsutawney
road would indicate that they had
gone in that direction.
Ishelman q Son, of DowlingviIle,
Keepers of a country store, we're visited
on Saturday night last by some rob.
bers, who helped themselves TO the
amount Of about 5000, and the con-
tents of the money drawer, about $50.
The same tactics we're used as at Knox
vile, the bolt Of the lock being pried
OF with some kind of heavy lever,
and 1t is possible the same parties were
interested in the deed.
During the latter part of last week
there was fine rafting food in Red
bank creek, and a large number of
RATS were safely run to the river.
There seems 10 be quite lack of the
usual hurry among luinbermen at this
season Of the year, occasiousd doubt
less by the diminished amount of
stock that is on hands to be marketed
by the old process. We understand
that nearly 100000 feet Of boards Der
day have been shipped by tho cars dur.
ing the past month";, which. with the
sfnall stock on hands, will make fafs-
ing q rather short job this spring.

.-The first accident of the present
rafting season, among our Clarion
river lumbermen, is the death of
James j. Elgin, who was drowned on
last Friday. The particulars Of the
sad event are as follows: Mr.. Elgin
has been for some time resident of
Scotch Hill, this county. On Friday
morning he started down the river on
biie ofCook's RATS, Harmon knight
pilot. At Wilson's Bend, Elgin was
thrown off the raft, by an oar. At
the same time several boards were
torn loose from the bottom Of the raft,
and Elgin succeeded in getting hold
Of thehi. He could not swim, but
with the aid of the boards. he hoated
dawn the river two OF three miles.
knight gave notice to all the men he
saw along the river, Of the condition
of Elgiu, and efforts were made to
save him by throwing out ropes, but
these failed. Two skiffs finally star
ted to his assistance. but when within
a few rods of him, his strength failed,
and he sank, being evidently overcome
by the cold. AT last accounts his
remains had not been recovered, but
diligcnt search was being made. He

THE conferees in the Indiana Congress
ional district met at Kittanning on last
Tuesday week and remained in session
until the following Friday morning, when,
on the one hundred and eEegeutE ballot.
Harry White was nominated. The caudi-
dates were White, of Indiana, Bca!es. Or
Armstrong, Judge Campbell, Of Clarion,
and Marlin, of jefferson. Judge Camp-
bell was by odds the best man named.
but for some reason, no doubt satisfactory
to himself, refused permission to use his
name in tho conference. We have heard
1t intimated that the most disreputable
means were resorted to in order to procure
Whites nomination, but as we have only
hearsay evidence for it, We will not enter
into discussion of tho subject We
have good authority for saying, however,
that in Whites own county the opposition
to him among leading and influential Re
publicans is bitter and uucompromising.
and that they avow their determination to
defeat him if they can. The district is
strongly Republican, but if the disaffcc-
tion which manifestly exists in Indiana
should spread through the other counties
in tho district his election may not only DC
imperilied but most likely defeated. Be-
fore any Intelligent opinion can be formed
on the subject we will have to wait until
the Republican sentiment of the district
in reference to the nomination has more
fully developed itself.

COMMENTING on the recent terrible rain
storm in and about Pittsburgh, the Ian
caster Intol!gencer says:
''The graphic details of the approach Of
the storm as given in our news columns indi-
cate that the calamity was due to Il water
spout, phenomenon which Is rarely wit
messed in this latitude, and which is an i'm
mense mass of water, caught by the wind
and whirled about with a rotary motion
until the fierce element of the air becoming
wearied as it were, the cloud of water bursts
and spreads deSolatiOn in the track of its
landing. They generally make their ap-
pearance at the under surface of a cloud from
which pouch-like appendago may be OBJ
served to protrude, eularging and lenCthen-
ing into conical or funnel form; the base
always above In many cases after being
Whirled about these columns of water are
drawn up into the air, and in other cases
they descend in an almost solid mass of
water such as was experienced at Pitts
burgh. In this case, n gentleman living spv-
eral miles down the river, where there was
little rain, says that by the fitful flashes of
lightning no could see a huge, iul5v-blacIz.

QUEEN VICTORIA having politely re-
quested Parliament to provide for the pc
cuniary necessities of her youngest son,
Leopold, that loyal body, with only one
dissenting vote, promptly and generously
responded to her wish by granting this
young scion of royalty an annuity of $75,-
oOO This sum ought to enable the young
gentleman to keep his head above water
and maintain all the state and dignity be
coming the son of a Queen. That this is Il
barefaeed robbery of the people of Great
Britain, as former annuities to other sons
and daughters of Victoria have been, is a
matter of minor consideration. 1t is one

uuate conception of it. The horrors COM
pressed with that dreadful hour will never
be fully told. Those who visited the scene
yesterday-saw the wrecked houses and,the
long row of bodies carried from the ruins
who gazed upon the ghastly forms of the
dead and the agonized features of the sur
viying parents and children-can form
faint conception of the terrors of that fatal
hour. Whole families have been blotted
out entirely. In one ease, a father alone
survives of Il family of eleveE-the mother
and nine children having perished. The
father had been absent during the night,
and thus escaped. There were scores of in
cidents of the most touching and harrow
ing nature, past the power of words TO
portray
TUE FEARFUL RECORD.
At latest adviceS the number of dead
bodies found and persons still missing foOts
up thus At Butchers Run, SO dead and
lii missing; Woods Run, dead, miss
ing: Temperanceville, 10 dead, 81 missing;
Charters Creek, IA missing. 1t will be
several days yet before the full magnitude
of the disaster can be ascertained, and to
record all the incidents connected with the
terrible calamity would require volumes.
RELIEF.
Temporary relief for those who lost their
all by the flood is pouring in from every
quarter, $50, 600 having already been real
lied. The damage to property cannot yet
be more than guessed at, but it will un-
doubtedly run up into the millions.

THE Philadelphia Commonwealth does
no credit to itself as a Democratic journal
nor service to the cause it espouses by
giving publicity to lying and malicious
letter from Rome addressed to that bigot-
ed and contemplate radical mouth piece,
the New York Times. We had hoped
better from a paper which flies at its mast
head the name Of VIM. II. IYitte as editor
and proprietor, aud even yet we are prone
to believe that the Commonwealth will dis
avow any intention to insult very many
among its readers by this quasi endorse
ment Of obnoxious sentiments which are ut
terly at variance with truth, common
sense and the GOd-given rights Of CON
science What say you, Mr.. C0mHlou-

AT the election held in Harrisburg last
Friday for members Of the select council.
the Democrats carried sic out of the mine
wards by majority of 100. Hartranft's 5
majority over Bucka!ew in that CITY was
72O. Tho Harrisburg Telsgrapk, the or
gan and Rpologist OF the corrupt "Treas-
ury Ring with r. w. Mackey at its head
sheds copious editorial tears over the re-
suit and bitterly denounces the Republicans
who went back on the party. The Pitts
burgh Gazette, another Republican sheet
attributes this radical defeat, however, rs
well as the corruption in the radical poll
tics of the State generally, to the debauch-
ing influence of the State Treasury. We
have only room for the two following ex-
tracts from the GQzeu5's animadversions
on Robert w. Mackey and his corrupt
Ring. They are direct and to the point :
''It is unnecessary TO cite evidence aud
prove the universally accepted fact, that
the corruption in our State politics can be
followed up and traced from overy county
and from every n8iGhbOrhOOd which its
rlthy current pCllutes, to the State Treas
ury. There lies the nest-egg of all that is
sreputable in Republican politics in Pcnu-
sylVania and like all added uest-cggS. its

REMARKABLE SAVING FTAT.-The Min
neapolis Tribune of the 10Th inst. says that
the Pacific Mill Dean & Co. s steam saw
mil) has been doing tall work for the past
three days. Observing from time to time
that other saw mills were supposed by their
proprietors to be cutting more or less lum-
Der, the employees of the Pacific Mill were
anxious to see what their establishment
could do within given time, and getting
everything in readiness they began work
IN earnest at seven a. NJ. on Thursday,
working until six p. M.-ten hours-on that
day, Friday and Saturday, three consecutive
days, and not running a moment over time
to make up for temporary delays, which
alwayswill occur in the best regulated mills.
At SIX p. NJ. Saturd ny their thirty hours
labor was finished, and their record was
6e9, % feet of lumber, board measure, ac-
tual survey upon the platformI More than
2O3, 600 feet Of lumber per day of ten hours,
for three consecutive days, to which must
be added the proportionate amount of shin
giles and lath. That is by far the talIest
work on record, and is an eye-opener for
the saw mills Of the neighborhood.

THE GREAT SCANDAL.-Therc are nc new
developments in the Beccher-Tilton case
further than the publication in full of the
cross-eXamlnation of Mr.. Til,on before the
committee. This is quite lengthy and was
evidently searching and severe. We pub
lish an abstract Of its contents and Uer-
5atiD1 account of its most prominent fea-
lures. 1t contains little moro than has al
ready leaked out through loquaciOus NOM
bcrS Of the committee, or the friends Of
the different parties to the great scandal.
The committee however has acted wisely
IN furnishing it thus in full to the public
SO that there may be no charges of garb-
ing or mlsrepresenting any portion of it.
As the case now stands, public Judgment
upon the merits of it seems to be suspend
ed and awaiting Mr.. Beecher's statement.
1t Is announced that Mr.. Frank Moulton.
who OF all men or women, save the three
leading parties, seems to have been most
cOnverSant with the details of the affair.
has concluded not TO give in his testimony
Inc committee of course has no power to
command his appearance, and upon his
refusal to appear its labors will conclude
with the forthcoming statement of Mr..
Beecher, which, it is promised, will reit-
crate his former defense and comprise n
denial of all of Mr.. Tilton's statement
which it will not explain to the salts
faction of the public. Pending this con-
cluSion of the case public Judgment is sub
Ject TO tuctuation and Partakes in 4 de-
gree of prejudice. Even after such con-
olasiOn of the labors of the committee, it
is doubtful whether the public will be
satisfied until the matter comes before the
civil court As there is prospect of this,
both in Mr.. TiltOn's threat of a suit for di-
vorce and in the course of MIR. Beecher's
friends in urging libel suit against his
accuser' the whole matter may be referred
to court of law, wherein all parties know
ing aught Of it may be called to tell the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth, regarding the greatest scandal
OF the age.-LaRcaster Hptelligencer.

A FORTY MILLION LAwsUIT.-The great
$40. COO 600 coal land lawsuit of Turnbull
VS. Pardee and others, which has been
pending in the Pennsylvania courts for two
years, has been decided in favor of the de
PENDANTS, under the provision of the law OF
Pennsylvania governing the gaining of title
to land by treasurcr's sale for arrears Of
taxes. The question at stake was the title
to several thousand acres of land in lower
Luzerne county, rich in deposits of coal,
held by the defendants, and claimed by
James Turnbull. as the heir of AleNander
and James 1'LGInDuli, deceased. he land
was the property of the Tunbull family,
once prOminentln Philadelphia, long before
it was known to contain coal.
The last Twnbull i'll whom the title rest
cd was James Tu:nbull, deceased father
of the claimant. He neglected to keep the
taxes on it paid and it was sold at treasur-
er's sale. The property subsequently came
into the hands of Oris Padce and other
capitalists. The father of the plaintiff died
in Philadelphia about forty years ago, be-
fore the great value of the property was
known. He left divorced wife and the
plaintiff, then q mere child. Soon after
the death OF his father, young Turnbull
went to sea. His mother, in 1852, believ-
ing that her son was the rightful owner of
the land in LuzeTne county, made efforts
to have the claim substantiated. She found
4 friend anu adviser IN q. ii. W leClGT, Esq,
then lawyer in Mauch Chunk. He shared
her belief in the justice Of her sons claim,
and recommended an cjcctmeut suit to Ie-
cover. 1t being necessary to tiud the miss
ing heir before anything could be done,
they commenced a search for him. For
twenty years they sought and waited anx-
iOusly to hear Of his whereabouts Finally,
in 1871, they heard of him in Mazatlan,
Mexico. He was summoned home and ar
rived III Philadelphia early in 1871.
His career has been one Of constant dan
ger and hardship. On his first voyage he
was shipwrecked. With eight companions
he foaked for nine days on the ocean in an
open boat. 1t was picked up near the Is
land OF st. Thomas, with all of its occupants
dead but TurnbuIl. Recovering from this
voyage he went to Central America, and,
in 1S49, to California. lie remained there
a year or two and made considerable mon
cy, adhering to a resolution he made when
he left home to touch no Intoxicating drink
and never to gamble. Leaving California
he went to canal at Mazatl1n. While
there he was robbed several times, and was
once left for dead, with twelve daggerS
sticking in him, by gang Of MeXicans who
robbed him. On the way from California
to Mexico he was in a steamboat explosion,
in which over Il hundred were killed, he
being one of 4 very few who escaped. He
was several times shipwrecked, but lived
TO answer the summons to come home and
prove his claim to immense wealth. lie
worked faithfully in his cause, but takes
his great defeat philosophically.
