The following is tetegrap!Ied from
Chicago:
John w. Steigleman, a man ap-
parently thirty five years of age, en-
tered the Commercial hotel, in this
city last Monday a week, and regis
tered himself as from Harrisburg,
Pa. The clerk saw that he was wei
dressed, to all appearance honest,
and had small amount of luggage
in his hand, and therefore he did
not demand payment in advance.
He breakfasted at the hotel the day
of his arrival. and appears to have
eaten no other meal while there.
On Tuesday morning he appeared
at the Office drunk. lie made con-
siderable noise about 500, which he
had lost, together with his hat. A
hat was procured for him, and he
set out to look for his money.
About $50 last night he came into
the hotel and sat down on one of
the corridor chairs. When asked il
he hadn't better 60 to bed, he pro-
duced bottle labeled ''Chloroform"
and boasted of having drunk the
contents. Medical assistance was
called, but it was too late. The
man died at 2.2O this morning.

A BEE TREE DISCOVERED AXB
OYER-HAULED.

A correspondent writing from
near Crum's mil, Susquehanna
township, Dauphin county, under
date Of August 25, says:
Recently, while walking thrSagh
woods witha companion en- what is
known by many Of your citizens as
the Roberts estate" we noticed a
number of bees flying Iounda white
oak tree of tolerably good size.
Suggesting that the tree might con-
tain bee hive, my companion re-
marked, ooh, no; the bees are
around here after wild flowers. :"
The very next day Mr.. William Al
bert. employed at the mill, passed
the same locality and stopped imme-
diately under the same tree. He
made the discovery that there was
in reality hive in the tree, and pro-
ceeded at once to the residence of q
Mr.. Hooker, who has charge of the
tract, and gained his consent to cut
the tree do VIZ. promising to hive
the bees and hand them over as a
recompeuse. Mr.. Albert "chopp-
ed'' the tree and after securing the
indignant little honey farmers "a
fine, large hive-he took from the
tree sixty-tive pounds of pure honey,
worth about 25 cents pound, yield
ing him a profit of $16.25 for a few
hours hot work. II.

WHAT ECONOMY WILL Do
There recently left this city, with
his family, bound for distant Kan
sas, q man who was employed about
four years as a fireman on the Phila-
de.phia & Reading railroad. Last
spring, when the brotherhood engi-
neers quit work, this fireman went
with them. Being satisfied ia a
few weeks thereafter, that there
was no possibility or his getting
back upon that road and not wish
ing to remain idle, he started for
Kansas, leaving his family here,
with the iute ntion of getting him
home in that State. But from what
source could this poor fireman draw
funds ? We shall see.
During the four years running on
the railroad here, he supported his
family comfortably on his pay, and,
by living within the necessities. saved
geodlV stake besides; and his pay
was not as great, while his family
WAS larger, than the pay received by
our engineers, some of whom had
scarcely anything saved at the time
they stopped their work. Onr fire.
man, however, had enough to pay
his way to Kansas, where he finally
bought an improved farm of eighty
acres with a good house and barn
thereon, several acres of the land in
growing crops-a number Of farm
tools, and various useful and neces-
sary articles. He paid CASH for the
property. His next step was to Sc
cure employment for the coming
winter on an adjacent railroad. He
then paid his fare back to Williams
port. A few days ago he again left
the city with his family for their
new home-still having means to
pay their transportation, and freight
charges on his household goods
and all these things came about by
virtue of the savings of a railroad
employee in four years time. This
mans good fortune is due to the
fact that, during the four years in
question, he did not squander his
whole earnings in order that he
might eat as costly food, and wear
as 1ne garment as his wealthy neigh
bors. Further comment is unnec-
essary. Railroad corporations are
not the worst things in existence

convention he ought and would have
an overwhelming majority. Schell,
for auditor general, is the most pop
ular candidate on the democratic
side, Noyes has a strong backing
in his own district, but the assaults
made upon him by the opposing eie-
ment in canvass for the nomination
will tell adversely. Judge Turnkey
has u good professional reputation,
and is well thought of in his county;
but Judge Sterrett is much more
widely known, and ought to poll a
far larger vote throughout the state.
Philadelphia ChronicaI, Dem.l
Every democrat in the state has
reason to feel proud of the result of
the labors of the state convention at
Harrisburg. The ticket placed in
nomination is, as q whole, one of the
strongest ever selected.

The ticket is as strong a one as
could have been placed in the field.
Judge Turnkey has for years taken
rank as one Of tie strongest com-
mon pleas judges in the state. y y
He will be tower of strength in

delusive, will be successful by q

workingmen. Combining un-
usual elements of strength, his elec-
tion 10y large majority seems to be
already assured.
Mr.. Noyes, possessing pow
erful personal magnetism, is i'm
mensely popular with all classes of
people throughout the state. He
bears the name of a man of the
strictest integrity of character and
of wonderful enterprise and vigor,
and is withal q most enthusiastic
and consistent democrat.
