From the Press.
1t will be remembered that the steal
ing by Ed. Mills and others of the rail-
road crew, had been carried on syste-
matically for several months. 1t is
now ascertained that portion of the
goods were regularly sold to Mikolos-
ky, well known to our citizens as the
Jew peddler, who hawked them
through the country. Mikolosky is
in the Lock Haven Jail.
From the Sterling Gazette.
The examination at the Central
Pennsylvania State Normal School,
Lock Haven, was very pleasant af-
fair. One who was present at the ex-
ercises informs us that the graduating
class, sixteen in number, acquitted
themselves very creditably, and were
granted diplomas. Among the num-
ber was Miss Ella Herrick, of Sterling,
Cameron county. Three other stu
dents from this county attended the
school, viz, N. It. Arnold, II. d. Earl,
and Miss Sadie Strawbridge. Prof.
Raub says that if we have any more
young gentlemen and ladies as studious
and intelligent as these, they will be
very proud of them at Lock Haven.
The school is in d MOST foufishing
condition, and with the present Boards
of Trustees and Instruction, is bound
to be grand success.

JEFFERSON.

From the Republican.
Last Saturday the planning and shin
gle mill of Mr.. X. b. Stewart, in Knox
township, was entirely destroyed by
fire, together with about $500 worth of
worked lumber and quantities of
other stock. The fire was communi-
Gated from some rubbish that had been
burning near the mill, the fire in
which was thought to have died out,
but which was famed to life by the
wind and carried into the mill. We
have no estimate of Mr. Stewards loss
but it is complete. he having no insur-
ance. 1t is but two years since Mr.. S.
met with similar misfortune, in the
burning of his mill on the site of the
one just destroyed.
Last Friday Mr.. r.. J. Nicholson
met with an accident by which he has
since been confined to his room. He
was returning from Punxsutawney,
where he had been to witness the cele-
bration of the Fourth, and when on
the hill near Abner Spyker's, in Rose
township, part of the harness gave
way, letting the buggy run against the
horse, which became frightened and
commenced to run and kick. Mr.. N.
tried to head him into the fence, but in
the effort the buggy was upset, throw
ing him out upon one of the wheels
"a gentleman who was in company
with him following, and adding to his
injuries by falling upon him. Mr.. N
received severe injuries of the back
and was unable to proceed homewart
until assistance was obtained. Hi
companion was also slightly injured
The horse released himself from th'
buggy by breaking off the harness
and came to town at break-necF
speed.
On the same day Mrs. Nicholson
met with an accident by which she re
ceived painful injuries. On returning
from Corsica, driving in a buggy, he
horse stumbled, drawing her over tn
splash-board, infiicting serious wound
upon her limbs. We understand tina
both are doing well, and that Mr.
Nicholson will be about in few days
sufficiently recuperated tocontinue hi
canvass for the Legislature.

The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1878-07-18

On the 30th of June, the close of the
fiscal year, it appeared that the reduc-
ton of the national debt during the
previous twelve months was $24, 900, 600
against $4,000, 900 for the preceding
year. OF this latter sum $4,000, 900
accrued from the balance of the Geneva
arbitration fund. The bonded debt has
increased by 1888, 600, 900, and $4,000, 900
more has been paid this year for in
terest than in the year ending June
80, 1877. The increase to the bonded
debt is owing to the sales to procure
gold for the purposes of resumption.
The coin balance now in the treasury
is $l97, AIS, ,lS3. of which $l4l, ,94O, 1888 is
available after all outstanding liabili-
ties, such as coin certificates, etc., are
charged.

The CITY Railway.

We yield promptly to the recollection OF
q friend who lost some money in the city
railway, and who corrects our statement
that there was no street railway in Rich
mond prior to the war. The city railway
was built about the beginning OF the war
say the year beforehand ran awhile. But
the Confederate Government took up the
rails to shield the iron-clads with them.
Therefore it was necessary to rebuild the
road after the war, and that operation was
in the recollection OF the less obseryant per-
sons-rore especially with those who lost
no money by it-as the beginning Of the
road.
The city railway has had many trou-
bles. Its chief disadvantage is the sharp
grades OF the streets. But this will be in
part obyiated and in part triumphed over,
andtbe enterprise will in good time, we
hope, be highly remunerative. We may
say this that Richmond cannot dispense
with the street railway. 1t is established ed
that no city OF respectable magnitude can
existsWithout three thin IS: lst, water "a,
light; Cd, street railways. This cannot ,t be
denied, and those cities which require them
will be best equipped for the battle for
city distinction and prosperity which
have al! three things in the great
est perfection. For Richmond we can boast
OF our water and LIGHT as inferior to none
other, and the day that puts the grades OF
her streets in such q condition that street.
cars may ply with proper facility from end
to end Of the city will be grand day for
the city. We shall be able then to con-
template Richmond as does a farmer his
rich fields OF waving corn, Haunting its
broad leaves and cracking with Joy TO the
passing winds. A sight like that Is She:
brayest sign Of Yigor and thrift, and is by
no means an inapt illustration Of The gene.

Hendricks OH the Potter Committce.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Hon. Thomas A.
Hendricks, who is in the city, freely eX-
pressed his disappointment at the failure Of
the Potter committee thus far to accomplish
anything. He said that he supposed when
Mr.. Potter introduced his resolution to au-
thorize the investigation, and did it in the
face of the public censure which had been
passed upon all attempts to revive the agl-
tation of the electoral question, that he
had certain information which was new,
and that he had fortified himself
against every possible chance OF failure.
Up to this time, Governor Hendricks ad-
mitted, the committee has not been a6ie
to pre- sent any such information. For TINS
reason he looks upon the inquiry as lIl:ad.
vised and not calculated to chect tne oDlecC
in view. Governor Hendricks said OF the
last presidential election that all Democrats
undoubtedly believed that Mr.. Tilden was
elected, and that the party, through inc ma,
chinery and construction OF the Electoral
Commission, allowed that victory to DE
