A CHAPTER OF CRIME.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa. Nov. 1.-THE
reign of lawlessness in the coal regions
appears to be continually growing worse,
caused perhaps by the fact that most Of
the perpetrators of assaults and murders
escape capture and punishment. At
Carbondale. on Saturday night or Sun
day morning last, two men were muir
dered and three severely assaulted, one of
whom will probably die. Patrick Pad
den, a miner at Coal Brook colliery, was
found upon Dundorff street in that city
on Sunday morning with two bullet holes
in his head and badly pounded about the
body. His head was frozen to the
ground, his hair having dragged in a
pool of blood and water. which had con-
gealed. He was not quite dead when
found, but expired in the afternoon.
Michael McNally was found dead the
same morning upon the railroad bridge
near Lookout in the same city. He was
about twenty years of age and had ey-
identity been put there.
Michael Begland was found about the
same time with his throat cut He wa'
dressed in an old suit of miners clothing
When last seen on Saturday night h'
had on suit of good clothes. He II
still alive and will probably recover.
A boss at the Erie breaker was way
laid on Saturday night and had his arm
broken and received other injuries, bu
escaped with his life. His name has no
been ascertained.
About two miles below the city, a
Carbondale mines. a man, whose name ]
not vet known. was found nailed TO
beam in a lonely and unfrequented place
Strong nails were driven through hi

THE CENTENNIAL BUILDINGS.

The Philadelphia Press reports that
the contractor for the centennial build
ings, Mr.. Dobbins of that city, is pro.
crossing satisfactorily with his work.
All the foundations for Memorial Hall
(the permanent structure)are now laid.
and on three sides the granite base is
well up and in part ready to receive the
finer granite which is to form the super
structure proper In the meantime the
interior walls of brick, two and three
feet thick, have reached the height of
the second story, and are models of
strength and workmanship. Work will
be pressed vigorously forward until the
winter puts an end to outdoor work.
Outside of Memorial Hall work has been
pushed with equal speed. Nearly all Of
the eighteen acres designed for the exhi-
bition pavilion have been graded, the
delay just now being incident to the fact
that the work has reached the river road,
and the consent of the Park Commission
ers being necessary before closing or
crossing this road, a few days will inter-
vene for the purpose of consulting with
that body. This is mere matter Of
courtesy. and will have no appreciable
effect upon the progress of the work
Work on the piers has already been
| begun. Each pier is about four feet
square, with depth of about six feet,
and it is constructed of large stones.
| From these will start the iron columns,
now in process of manufacture. Already
one line of these piers. extending nearly
distance of ], 800 feet has been fn-
4 ished, and it is expected that before the
close of the present season all will be
constructed, and during the winter will
settle and form sure foundation for the
iron The piers are placed at intervals
of about twenty feet. The main exhl0i
ton building will stand 10 feet bach
from the north side of Elm Avenue. an5
east of its intersection with Belmont Av
enue. 1t will be in the form of par
allelogram, extending east and west
| l,688 feet in length, and AGA feet il
width. The entire floor area viii b
1886 acres.
| The drawings for Machinery Hall ant
Horticultural Hall are yet in the hand
of the architects. These viii be distinc
from the exhibition proper, although
forming part of the whole display. Al
the buildings viii cover an aggregate Q
forty acres, and in this will exceed il
size and completeness any yet erected il
Europe for similar purposes.

INFLUENCE.

Wherever we set our feet, thorns and
thistles spring up or flowers bloom. 1t
is not only what man does in his own
person OF while he lives on the earth,
but also what he does through others to
whose life and character he has given
impulse and direction, and especially
what he does after he is dead. in the
teachings. example and influence which
he has impressed on other hearts, to be
communicated by them to get others. In
endless succession. Not only has every
one an influence, but every one has prob
ably an influence, more or less, on every
other member of the race, as 1t is math-
ematically demonstrable that grain of
sand falling to the earth lifts the earth
to meet It,
God never made independent man,
The old illustration of the pebble cast
into the placid lake could not be ex-
changed for better. The stone sank
to the bottom and was soon still, but
the motion it communicated to the water
lived on and spread in undulations and
overwhelming circles, till its trembling
weight shook the farthest sho-e. So
man drops from his Makers hand into
| fha saa of humanity. communicates his
impulse for good or i'll, and shortly falls
into the stiffness of the grave; but the
impulse and influence of his life remain,
operating through other lives, widening,
extending, passing on through succeed
ing generations till the end of time, roll.

PESKY FOREIGNERS.

Our Havana correspondent, in his last
letter, states that Spanish men of war
have orders to sink any and every vessel
which they thiuk may have an expedition
on board for the Island of Cuba"
Desperate as the Spanish authorities
in Cuba have become by reason of the
inability any longer to hide from the out
side world the impending collapse of
their dominion in that island, we still
doubt whether they would be crazy
enough to go the full length of carrying
out such programme as the above.
Germany taught them bitter lesson.
and made them pay handsomely for the
capture of the barks Marie Louise and
Gazelle. though these vessels were laden
with arms and ammunition for the Sultan
of Zooloo, then in arms against the Span
ish authorities of the Philippine Islands,
in whose waters they were captured.
England made them return the Deer
hound and release her officers and crew,
although cargo of arms and ammuni-
tion for the Carlists had been landed
from her on Spanish soil shortly pre-
vious to her capture by Spanish man.
of-war. They have been forced to pay
heavy indemnity for British subjects cap
tured on an American vessel-the Vir-
ginius and lastly, Lord Derby, in reply
to a whining remonstrance from the
Spanish Cabinet, presented to him
through its Ambassador in London, gave
Spain to understand that commerce in
arms and ammunition was lawful, and
tnat as she claimed to be nation, enti-
tied to recognition. she must blockade
her own coasts.
The truth probably is that Spanish
naval officers have been instructed to
sink any suspected American vessel.
Dead men tell no tales; and. as long as
Spain has such an interested palliator of
her outrages On Americans and Ameri-
can vessels as Hamilton Fish in Wash
ington, the destruction of a suspected
vessel might be more prudent than her
capture; there might be some ''pesky'
foreigner on board.

THE DENVER AND RIO GRANDE
RAILWAY.

As the initial narrow gauge railway
of this country, the Denver and Rio
Grande, is study to scientific men and
a curiosity to all others; both classes
are busy looking at it this season. There
have been other roads of narrow gauge
built in the United States, but all of
them of very limited length. or intended
for special and contracted business.
This one aims at line of LOO miles.
and is already full working road, car
rying passenger travel and all kinds of
freight. | have not space in the limits
of this paper to go into discussion of the
principle of the narrow gauge. a ques-
ton which the railway and scientific
journals have been arguing with such
heat fer some lime past. Suffice it to
say here. that it involves an entire rev.
olution in the present system of railway
construction, equipment and manage
ment. Colonel VIM. II. Greenwood, the
general manager of this road. and ore
Of the foremost advocates of the narrow
gauge reform, distinctly, and l think
wisely, says that the principle of the
narrow gauge system now does not lie
in the mere distance between the rails,
but is question Of general and thorough
economy and retrenchment in the pres
ent system of railway management. 1t
means lighter equipment, less useless
speed. and so a perpetual saving in wear
and tear as well as in the first cost of
construction and equipping.
As continental north and south
through line, the Denver and Rio Grande
is again a road of imperial conception.

bone of the continent trending the east,

continental railroad enterprises of this
country have been east and west, and
the north and south lines only short, in
dependent connections. This road is the
first conception of north and south
system. With the Denver Pacific and
Central Colorado. and meditated ex-
tension from Cheyenne to some point on
the North Pacific on the one hand, and
its own projection to the city of Mexico
on the other, the Denver and Rio Grande
will constitute a through north and south

any line running from the city of Mexi-

YOUR SKIN.

GOOD people all have a care of your skim
Both that without and that within;
10 the first you'll give plenty of water and soap
10 the last little else beside water We'll hope!
But always be very particular where
You get your water, your food and air;
For if these be tainted or rendered impure
1t will have its effect on your blood-be sure!
The food which will ever for you be best
Is that you like most and can soonest digest;
AL unripe fruit and decaying flesh
Beware of, and fish that is not very fresh
Your water transparent and pure as you think it,
Had better be filtered and boild ere you drink it,
Unless you know surely that nothing unsound
Can have got to it over under the ground.
But of all things the most would have you beware
or breathing the poison of once breathed air;
When in bed, whether out or at home you may be,
Always open your window and let it go free.
With clothing and exercise keep yourself warm
And change clothes quickly ifdrenched in storm
For cold caught by chilling the outside skin
Flies at once to the delicate lining within.
All of you who thus kindly take care of your skin
And attend to its wants without and within,
Need never of smallpox feel any fears
And your skin may last you a hundred years

A FREAK OF THE MODERN PLUcK.-
The Troy Whig relates the following:
I'VE have heard much of the wonders Of
cable telegraphy in outrunning time and
annihilating space, but an aneedote re-
lated to us the other evening by Mr.. w.
P. Phillips, Assistant Agent of the State
Associated Press in New York, who was
on a visit to this city, surpasses anything
we have ever heard. A gentleman of
the Western Union Telegraph Office, at
No. l45 Broadway, New York, was
sitting in the cable room when a telegram
from Philadelphia, destined for Paris.
came over the wires. This message, like
all others for France, was to 20 over the
cable via Duxbury. Mass. The operator
called Duxbury a few times and then said,
that fellow is asleep evidently. but the
cable men are awake; I'll have to get one
of them to 90 and wake him up So he
stepped to another desk, called Plalstef
Cove in Newfoundland. and sent the
following message: To cable operator
Duxbury. Please 60 in and wake up my
own true love This message Plaster
Cove hastened to send across the ocean
to Valencia, Ireland. who, in turn.
rushed it to London; thence it was hur.
ried to Paris. and still onward to the
European end of the French cable at st.
Pierre, and the operator there flashed it
back to Duxbury.
In less than two minutes by the clock
the message had performed a journey Of
some 5000 miles by land and sea, as
was evidenced by the clicking at the
Duxbury desk, which ticked out in a
manner little petulant, That's a uice
way to do. Go ahead. Your own true

GREAT RACE AT SAN FRANCISCO.

SAN Francisco, November 1.-The
great four mile heat running race for
purse of $4,000 in gold, given by the
Pacific Jockey Club, took place here, to-
day. The race was open to all horses
in the world, and the purse was the
largest ever given in the United States.
The first horse received $4,000, the
second $4,000, the third $4,000 and the
fourth $4,000, fully 10000 people being
on the grounds previous to the start. So
great was the crowd that SO and $40
were paid for favorite positions for the
occupants of carriages. The judges soon
called the horses to the post and the fol-
lowing faced the starter: Thad Stevens,
Joe Daniels, Katie Pease, Henry, Hook
Hooking, Harwood and Alpha. On the
first heat, Katie Peace went to the front
on the last mile and won the heat, Joe
Daniels coming in second and I'had Ste
vens. who was held in, third, four lengths
behind the winner. Alpha was with
drawn after the heat, having gone lame.
1t was also reported that Thad Ste
, vens was lame. Time 7:43 l-3. At 2
o'clock, the bell was rung for the second
heat. This heat and the race was WOE
| by Katie Pease, Henry second, Harwood
| third and Thad Stevens fourth. Hook
Hooking and Joe Daniels were distanc-
ed, and the latter is said to have broken
down. The other horses barely saved
their distance. Time, 1876 1-2.

A GooD BED.-A most soft, comfortable,
and wholesome filling for beds or for
mattresses can be procured in most coun-
try places by getting a farmer, when
threshing, to allow oat chaff to be saved.
1t is soft, light and elastic, and when
fresh and clean is very sweet. The cost
is very little, only the cost paid to the
farmer for the men saving md sitting it.
AS oat chaff is rarely used for cattle
food, it is easily obtainable. 1t is so
very light that slighter kind of bed
tick than is necessary for other kinds of
filling is quite sufficient for oat chat.
Another advantage is that it can be
changed every year at so little cost that
it is within the reach of many, if not of
all. For children's beds it is perfectly
satisfactory. It is only necessary to
keep sack or two stuffed full of oat
chaff in dry place. and then new and
fresh filling is at hand to make sweet
bed, whatever accident may have be-
fallen the cot mattress. Next to the
chaff is clean oat straw for bedding.
Indeed, we should make this the first
choice, after the more cleanly mat, for
all adults. 1t should be changed fire.
quently, and always be kept sweet and
clean.
