The latest reports, if true, are very
damaging to Osman Pasha's repGta
ton. Under date of the 2Sth, the
Hsrald'S Bucharest correspondent
telegraphs that it is currently report
Ell and generally believed there that
Osman will be tried by a military
court of highest jurisdiction, for the
slaughter of wounded and captured
Russian soldiers. 1t is said the dis
coveries made by the Russians since
occupying the Notifications OF
Plevna, the information gained
from Turkish officers, and, above all,
the absence of Russian prisoners,
leave no reasonable doubt that the
Turks under Osman Pasha have
been guilty of deeds which will rem
der his now illustrious name infa-
nous, and for which he is to be
tried and punished. Every day
brings to light some new horror at

A Turbulent House land A Firm
Speaker.

During the extra sessions of the
present General Assembly the House
of Representatives has presented a
continuous scene of unprecedented
turbulence, and, but for the irmness
and characteristic efficiency of
Speaker Taliaferro, confusion and
uncomfortable excitement would
have ensued.
The House may congratulate itself
upon its wisdom in electing to the
chair a gentleman who has welded
the eavel, under all circumstances.
with somuch impartiality and cour
tesy, and at the same time absolute
power Whatever may have been
the views of the Speaker, and how
much soever he may have differed
with members on the questions be
fore them, all parties have conceded
to him discharge of his duties
worthy the high position he holds.
During the three sessions he has
presided over this body an appeal
from his decision has never been
sustained, and the confidence of the
House in his integrity and ability
has never been shaken. UMBRA.

The Washington Post says, edito-
rally: "We feel authorized to say
that Mr.. Conkiing will not again be
sustained by any of the Democrats
in the Senate, in any issue he may
make with Hayes upon questions of
executive patronage. In fact, we
have been personally informed of the
determination of those Democrats
who sustained the New York Sena-
tor in the recent struggle, to vote
hereafter TO confirm the commits
sions of Mr.. Hayes, unless specific
cause, affecting the interests of the
public service, is shown why they
should not be confirmed"

The Rump Regulators action
will cost Tennessee millions. East
ern men from whom we buy will
add on an extra per cent. to pay
for the risk they run in selling to
people who refuse to pay their
debts. 1t will also stop railroad
building in Tennessee. Who is 60
ing to buy bonds of Tennessee or
any of her towns or counties, if the
State or any town or county has
the sublime impudence to issue
any? No one, of course; and if he
does, he's a fool. The election to
be held in Marshall recently to vote
$35, 1000 to her railroad was post
poned to await the action Of the
Legislature. Lawrence county must
now give up her last hope of a rail
road.

Conkling and Blaine having en-
braced each other, the latter will of
course be found in the ranks of the
administration people when
Congress meets next month. The
program of these eternal enemies of
peace is to try and stir up the
"Southern question" again, and by
villainous impudence and Islander,
excite Southern men to heated ex-
pressions. This will be a losing
game for the consplratoIs, and they
will be beaten at it. They have no
power to wrest the liberties of the
Southern people from them again,
and they viii present the disgrace
full spectacle before the country of
men who glory in their own shame
full selfshness and hatred of peace.

The new year of LiHeLEs Living
A9e opens with the number for the
week ending January 9th.
Owing to the recent establish
ment of important periodicals
abread-and TO the simultaneous
improvement of others, a fresh i'm
petus has been given to foreign pc
riodical literature; the ablest living
thinkers and writer's being enlisted
in it's service to an extent heretofore
probably unequalled. The Living
Age presents with satisfactory COM
pleteness what is most valuable in
this literature.
In the department of fiction the
foreign authors will be represented
in serial and short stories. The
of a new story by Will
liam Black is to be begun in Janua
ry, from advance sheets, and other
will follow. Tae vol
umes of this standard weekly maya
zine for the new year therefore
promise to surpass even the previ
Gus ones in interest, and in impor-
lance to American readers.
The beginning of new volume is
a favorable time for new subscrip-
tions, and the publishers still pre-
sent to new subscribers for 1878 the
last seven numbers of 1877, which
the first instalments of
fine new German serial, translated
for Littelps Living Age; also serial
story by Miss Thackery, and the
usual large amount of other valuable
matter. For fifty two numbers of
sixty four large pages each Tor more
than three thousand pages a year,
the subscription price ($S) is low;
while for $1,000 the publishers offer
to send any one-of the American 81
or weeklies with the liz
ing Age for a year, both postpaid.

Nashville Banner: The fight be-
tween Hayes and the radical Repub-
licans in the House and Senate at
Washington grows hotter every day.
Hayes wants to do right and rise
above the buzzards who for years
have fattened Off the South. This
Is the bone of contention. Certain
Senator'S and Congressman begin To
look upon the South as the goose to
be plucked, aud now, when they see
they have lost their larder, they
scream with bitter disappointment.
IL is simply a question whether
President Hayes has the nerve and
backbone to stand against these
wolves, or whether he will go back
into the party and abuse and villify
every man who differs with him in
politics. We can hardly believe
that Hayes is the man to weaken.

MRS BEN. PITMAN CREMATED AT WASH
INGToN, PA
WAsHINGToN, PA. Feb. l5,--The crema-
ton of the remains of Mrs. Ben. Pitman, of
Cincinnati, was successfully accomplished
this afternoon, the entire operation lasting
less than two hours. The train with the re-
mains reached here at II clock this morn
ing, and the body was taken directly from the
station to the crematory. The casket was
made of cherry, with an unvarnished mahog-
any cover beautifully carved and present
from the Cincinnati school Of design, of which
the deceased was lately a member. 1t was
lined inside with white satin.
The corpse was accompanied only by Mr.
Pitman and Mr.. Plympton, of Cincinnati n
personal friend of the Ptman family. All
strangers and newspaper presentatiyes were
excluded from the building during the crema-
ton, the parties present being Messrs. Pit
man and Plympton and those persons in
charge Of the furnace. The estimated heat
of the retort at noon was | 200 degrees faren-
heit. The arrangements at the crematory
were Simi ar to those used during the crema-
tion of Baron DePam. The remains were
taken from the casket and placed in the iron
cradle and muslin cloth, previously soaked
in alum water was spread over them to hide
them from view. At two O'Clock the cradle
was pushed into the retort and the door clos.
ed. In eighteen minutes the body was en-
tirely re duced and at the end of an hour and
three quarters the cremation was pronuncad
complete, and the hueS of the furnace were

HON. JOHN KOUNS.

\ fatal accident in the borough Of New Co.
lumbus last Friday resulted in the death Of one
of its most esteemed and venerable citizens
Judge koons, a name for many years connected
with every enterprise that had for its object the
public good, met his death in this wise: wish
ing to return borrowed sausage machine he
started to take it across the street TO Squire
Chapin's granary, aud as he was ascending the
outside steps he lost his equpose,it is supposed,
falling violently to the foot of the stairs. Squire
Chaplin hearing his groans Immediately hasten
ed to the spot to find his patient in an insensi-
BILE condition. With the help of those nesr y
he was carried to his residence and medical aid
summoned. His injuries were found to be a
slight wound upon the lip, and serious bruise
across the pit Of the stomach, made by one OF
the legs of the machine in falling upon him.
lie remained in an unconscious condition until
abont l o'clock at night when he expired.
Judge Koons, for by this name he has been
known ever since our recollection, was born in
Monroe county, this State, August %, l795,
hence was over SO years of age. He always
enjoyed good health, and it has often been re.
marked that his end seemed as far distant aS
ever, He came to Huntingdon in 1917 and
soon after settled at New Columbus. With his
own hands he helped to rear almost the first
building in that borough, using his pile of shay
ings for his resting place at night. He was
| soon a fixed institution Of the town, and built
| M for himself reputation that will live long
| after the sod- have grown green oyer his grave.
| He occupied many positions of local trust and
was once elected Associate Judge of this county
position he filled with honor. The old Acad'
envy, to which many of us point as the plac
| where we received the rudiments of an educa-
tion, was largely child Of his creation. o
high scholarly attainments himself, he readily
foresaw that the youth Of his neighborhooC
stood in want of higher class of education
| The deceased connected himself with Masonic
| Lodge, No. 81, of Wilkesbarre, in 1917, and
kept good his membership until the time of hi
death He was the Oldest Mason in this couu
ty, having belonged to the order for over 6I
years Several of the membership were pres
ent at the burial to assist in the last sad rite

since grown to be useful men and women. ar
left to mourn his sudden demise. The bura
