OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Bellefonte Republican, quotes the New
York Tribune as saying that Demo
Gratis "seem to forget that all their am
munition has been condemned as
worthless" for the reason that Gen
eral Garfeld's record as n statesman
has been built up almost entirely since
these old and feeble scandals were
first published" Among these cold
and feeble Scandals" stands the
wretched Credit Mobilier affair, and
James A. Garfield was one of the
members of Congress who yielded to
the seductive influences of Oakes Ames,
took stock in the concern and then
lied about it afterwards. After the
investigation by Congressional COM
mittee, the New York Tribune pub
lished an opinion of this particular
"old and feeble scandal" that reads
very different from that which it pre-
tends to believe now. In its issue of
February 10, 1873, it sums up the re-
suits of the investigation, and pays
its respects to this same James A
Garfield, who is now the Republican
candidate for President, as follows:
"Let us gather up the ends from all
this snarl of testimony and see, If pos
sible, just where we stand. Read the
evidence. With varying degrees of
guilt or guilty knowledge, every man of
of them, with one exception (Mr.
Blainel, has been obliged to confess
that at some time he had held this
stock, and at some time-under stress
OF conscience, let US hope, though that
IS not fully proven-got rid of it. Now
let US go slowly over the list. James
A. Garfield, of Ohio, had ten shares he
never paid a dollar; received 1929,
which, after the investigation began, he
was anxious to have considered as
loan from Cakes Ames to himself.
These men betrayed the trust
of the people, deceived their constit.
uents, and by their evasions and false.
hoods confessed the transactions to be
disgraceful. Pass no resolution. Drop
it where il is. Remand the business TO
the people"
Centre Democrat. [volume] (Bellefonte, Pa.) 1848-1989, 1880-06-17

James A. Garfeld's case was even
worse. To the evidence of his corrup-
tion and perjury was added evidence of
an attempt on his part TO suborn per.
jury. His cash dividend, paid TO him
June 10, 1868, by Cakes Ames, amount.
ed TO 1929. After the investigation had
begun he went to Ames and besousht
him TO let this payment "go as q loan"

Only IAYen1Ous.

At police court last light lad about
13 years of age was held to answer
on the charge of larceny. The
case was a most unusual one.
1t was shown that the gold watch of
George Woodward, timer, in the en-
ploy of Finn & Jackson, had been
stolen by the boy while Woodward was
at work in a railroad car. The evil
dence also showed that the boy was
very eager to sell a violin to oolored
man for So. The negro only had $3.50
and the lads mother wouli not con-
sent to the sale unless security was giveu
for the rest of the money. The boy stole
the watch, and handed it to the pur'
chaser Of the violin, telling him to give
it to the mother as security. This was
done, the watch was returned to the
owner, and the lad was arrested and
held to Conrt, as stated.

The ChrIstlaney AbANOrUe-Case.

WASHINGTON. May 27.-The papers
consisting OF bill, and cross bill, in tn !
Christiancy divorce suit were filed to-
day. Mrs. Christiancy is charged with
infdelity, and she charges Mr.. c.
with having brutally treated her on
many occasions, endangering her life
at one time when her condition was
delicate with knocking her down at
Lansing, Mich, and with forcing her,
when he was intoxicated by opium and
liquors, to flee from the American lega-
ton in Peru and take refuge in a
neighboring yard. On this occasion, it
is alleged he furthermore threatened to
blow her brains out. His most recent
acts of brutality, she adds, lies in his
attempt to obtain divorce on the
ground that she has been unfaithful as
a wife. She prays, in turn, for a di-
vorcs, alimony and the expenses Of the
suit. Mr.. Christianey's counsel, it is
said, will make no defence to the mo-
ton for allowance during the pendency
of the suit, but will ask that it be gra-
,ded to suit Mrs. Christiancy's condition
before her marriage.

A Collision and Almost n smash
Up ON the w. d N. Railroad Last
Night.
The freight train on the W. & N. R.
R., which left here early in the after
noon, collided yesterday evening near
Reading with south bound train.
Brief particulars are furnished by the
following dispatch:
"READNG, May 27.-A collision oc.
CURED this evening at Nacomi Station,
on the Wilmington & Northern Rail-
road, between the passenger train
which left here at $40 and north
bound freight train. Several passen-
gers were severely injured, and one
man, name not ascertsined, had both
legs broken and received internal in
juries and his recovery is dsubtful.
The engineers of both trains jumped
from their engines and escaped unhurt.
The locomotives and cars Of beth trains
were badly wrecked"
No further information could be Sc
cured from the W. i N. officials in Will
mington to-day, although telephone in
quiry was made at the freight Office.
About nosn, however, the facts of the
accident were learned to be as follows /:
The train which came in collision
with the porth-bound freight and pas
senger train, commenced to run
over the new French Creek branch road
on Wednesday, May 26. The cause Of
the collision was that the schedule time
for the new train had not yet been
properly adjusted. The engine hands
OF both trains, seeing the danger, re-
versed the locomotives and jumped for
their lives, thus escaping.
The damage done is not so great, it
is stated, as the despatch printed
above, leads to suppose. The person
most injured was young man in the
baggage car, who had his hand man.
gled by the sudden closing of the door,
when the trains came together. Two
lady passengers were painfully cat
about the face. The engines were badly
damaged.
The passenger train leaving here for
Reading about 305 O'Clock arrived
upon the scene shortly after the disas
ter, and soon had the track cleared.
The wounded were taken at oucs TO
Reading where they were cared for.
