"A Harrisburg lad named Geo. Fl. S,rad-

been killed by the cars at Eagle station, on

by his mother, who had the remains taken

on Thursday evening last, alive and well,
after having served durfUg the greater part
OF his absence as a deck hand on a steamer
on Lake Michigan.
On last Tuesday afternoon, as we learn
from the Altoona Tribune, a young man

employed on the train four DAYS. He was

The total Prohibition vote in tnis State
at the late election did not quite reach 3, 900
less than two thirds of the number polled
in 1874. Our townsman, Hon. A. A. Barker
candidate forl A uditor General on said ticket,
received 2, ,y97 votes--One more than Bentley
received for Supreme Judge and 10 more
than were cast for Cornett for State Treas
ursr. In Cambria county Mr.. Barker re-
ceived t,uo hundred more votes than either of
the other two candidates. This was certain
ly complimentary to Mr.. B., and shows that
although he is no longer the leader of :he
Republican party in this portion of the
county, he still retains his former personal
popularity. Whenever he was candidate
for Congress he always succeeded in getting
some Democratic votes in strong northern
districts, which no other Republican would
have received. 1t was simply the payment
of debt of gratitude which northern Cam
bria owes to Mr.. Barker's enterprise and
many other excellent traits of character AS a
hard working, honest man, who has proba-
bly, done more to develop the latent wealth
of this region than any other man who has
ever pitched his tent on top of the Ale
ghenies.
