' .'. BAND. .-. .I IrI
A correspondent of the Reading Eagle
writes from Myertown that on last FRIDAY
a giant negro came to the prem .ses OF Isaac
Reber, living a short distance above West
Myerstown He went into the garden with
out the conseut of anyone, eating currants,
no one saying anything to him. He then
went into the house, talking and acting very
strangely. Mrs. Rsber WHO was alone in
the house with a few children, sent one Of
them out In :hs barn to bring in Mr.. Eeber,
who asked the negro "What he wanted in
here" The negro replied that he had as
much as business in the house as Reber
himself. Mr.. Reber replied that be Was
the man Of the house, and the negro should
leave at once The negro did not want to
comply and Mr.. Reber dealt blow with q
broomstick over the giants skull. The stick
few into pieces, and-the negro made u jump
on Mr.. Rebsr, got him down and com
menced to beat him. Mrs. Rrber then Ro
the garden hoe and rescued Mr.. X ,ber. Sht
told the negro he should leave that b.
would scare her children. Tue negro IT
piled that "thuse weren't her children
| tnat she got them there only to call the peo
pie together, and If they would not stoI
aallowIng he would kill them" He tnail,
left, going short distance, When constable
Ryehne, OF South Lebanon, with some 3 d
q assistants, went after him hut was unasf
TO arrest him, as he commienced to throw
stones. 1t has been stated that constabl
Ryehne shot after lin twice, but withuu
intending to hit him. They sent for som
OF the police at Lebanon, who came prompt
ly and hand-eutf-d the negro without an
trouble, took him along to Lebanon an
placed him in jail TO await hls trial o

President Making.

The Electoral Commission TOOK up the
Louisiana case Tuesday The argument was
opened by Senator Mcdonald, who represent S
the Senatorial ohjectors to the returns of the
vote cast for Hayes and Wheeler Mr.. jerks
followed, who represents the Democrats of the
House. Mr. Hurlhut and Senator Howe re-
sponded for the Republicans. The points
made by the Democrats were particularly
strongand impressive, while those of the Re-
publcsns were weak and technical. The
people have by far the strongest case, with
able men TO press il, but with biased and
prejndiced eight to decide. Mr.. Carpenter
followed the ohiectors in brilliant speech in
which he defined his position by saying he did
not appear for Mr. Tilden, but for 10, 600 dis
franehised voters of Louisiana, "wko, with.
out accusation or proof, indictment or trial,
notice or hearing have been disfranchised by
four Williams incorporated in perpetual success
zion, whose official titles is the returning
board Of louisiana A decision in the
Louisiana case will probably not be male
before next Tuesday.

Didn't Catch Him.

There is nothing more depressing or NOR
tifyiug to young man than to be Tilted by a

has bought the ring, secured fitting wedding
Taimcnt aud engaged the parson, she gives
him the slip and marries another fellow
Some men think OF firearms or cold poisons
under such circumstances, but not so with a
ST. Louis young gentleman named Hiclland
Miss Jennings had consented to marry him
The day was fixed, was near at hand, the
viands cooked, the wedding dress complete,
and the minister notified But the very day
before the expected wedding Miss Jennings
went out at evening, married n Mr.. Gather,
and by midnight the couple were speeding
away on their bridal journey. Did Mr. Hick-
land despond and grow desperate? lie told
the parson TO be on hand just the same, forth
with proceeded to the house Of his alianced
asked in marriage the hand Of Miss Haywood
lhoe residing, vas accepted, told the people
to keep the vands hot, fetched the parson, and
while Mr. and Mrs. Gather were hastng away
merry company witnessed the wedding Of
Mr.. Hickland and Miss Haywood. The supper
was the most elegant which had been lately
served in all that region, aud love claps his
hands in joy over two welded pairs instead of
one. Mr.. Hickland is philosopher. May
he and his bride live long and be happy.

Death ON the Rail.

A shocking accident, by which Mrs Mar
garet Kirby was instantly killed, occurred
about 10 O'Clock yesterday morning on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, near Ellicott
City. Accompanied by her husband Daniel
Kirby, she was walking along the track, when
a coal train bound west and the Winchester
accommodation train coming east, appeared
simultaneously around the curve The woman,
who was behind, became so much alarmed at
the imminent danger as to be utterly bewil-
dered, and ran shrieking in front Of the pas
senger train. The engine No. 28l, was so
close upon the unfortunate victim when il
rounded the curve that it was impossible to
check its speed in iime and in an instant it
struck her with terrific force. The body
was mangled in a horrible manner, causing i'm
mediate death. The remains were brought to
Camden station yesterday, and will be buried
to-day by the railroad authorities Mr.. Kirby
who was uniniured, states that they were on
their way from Chicago to New Market New
Hampshire. Having expended all their funds
they left the train at iIarper's Ferry, intend
ing TO walk the rest of the way to their old
home. e.--Balt0. Gazette, 10th.

A Precedent for Oregon.

The commission will be compelled 10 meet
the Oregon question. A decision on kin
dred question was recently rendered by the
Supreme Court of Rhode Island. George II.
Coriiss, candidate for a presidential eector-
ship, received the highest number of votes in
November, and was at the time a Centennial
Commissioner The Governor of Rhode Island
requested the opinion of the State Supreme
Court on these points:
First, MS to whether the office of United
States Centennial Commissioner was such an
office of trust or profit under the United States
as TO render the holder ineligible to be presi-
dental elecor Second, if so, does such
candidate for the office os elector who receives
a plurality of legal votes, and declines said
Office create such vacancy MS is named in The
Rhode Island statute? Third, if not, is the
disqualification removed by the resignation of
said Office Of trust and proht2 Fourth, if
not, does the disqualification result in the
election Of the candidate next in vote, or in a
| failure to elect2 The fifth question related to
| the power OF The General Assembly 70 elect
/ al eleGtor under the statues of Rhode Island
The court answers that this Commissioner
of the United States Centennial Commission
did hold an Office Of trust under the United
States, and was therefore disqualified for the
Office Of presidential elecior. In reply TO the
second question the court said
"We think Centennial Commissioner who
was a candidate for the Office of eIecior, and
received plurality of the votes does not, by
declining the Office create such a vacancy as
is provided for in the general statutes"
The court says that before any person can
decline under this section "he must first be
elected, and no person can be elected who is
Ineligible or, in olher words, incapable Of
being elected " This old doctrine, freshly
declared in Republican Rhode Island, can now
be moved to Oregon.
Watts, in Oregon, "resigned" what he
hadn't to resign, and there was the sham Of
appointing him TO fill the vacancy" created
not by the absence of Crouin hut br his own
resignation" In reply TO the third question
the Supreme Court Of Rhode Island says:
disqualification is not removed bv the
resignation of the Office OF trust unless the
Office is resigned before the election. y
! The election by the people constitutes the ap-
| pointment. The resignation. there
fore, after the election is too late TO be eff
fectual."
This doctrine, now laid down by the high
est court in Rhode Island, is, of course, OF
widest application. The answer to the next
query is covered by the constitution, where it
declares that no person "holding an Office OF
trust or profit under the United States shall
be appointed an elector." This decision,
moved to Oregon, leaves Hayes with but two
electors from that State. Ia Rhode Island, n
special session of the Legis lature filled the
place Of Mr.. Corlss --New York Express.

Mexican Presidents.

The arrival of President Lerdo de Teiada,
of Mexico, at New York, on Saturday last, is
announced. Two of the three claimants to
presidential houors in our neighboriug repub-
lie are therefore now under the protection of
the stars and stripes, as one OF his arrivals.
lglesios arrived at San Francisco several week 5
ago. President Lordo seems TO have the best
II not the only, valid claim to supreme power
but as lglesias while acting as Judge of the
supreme court OF Mexico, denied the validity
Of his election, Diaz used his military prestige
TO carry OF the prize. The old fable Of the
monkey and the cats who quarreled over a
piece Of cheese was substantially enacted.
Diaz playing the part of the monkey and
Lerdo and lglesias, who both profess to be-
long to the same party, and who both had au
apparently just title to the high civil positions
they have temporarily lost, acted as the cats
Of this political drama. The moral of the
story is, woe to the people who suffer their
prominent partisans to adopt desperate
methods 10 obtain power
The biggest boy in 'he school in Looeootee.
