Three RascaIly Tramps.

POTTsVILLE, January %. - A daring
tramp outrage was committed near
Pinegrove on Tuesday afternoon. Two
men named Jonathan Schultz and Jacob
Zeigler, were digging well on the farm
of William Messersmith, and had gotten
it about 20 feet deep. Schultz digging at
the bottom, while Zeigler operated the
windlass on the surface, when three
tramps came along the road near by and
stopped One of them asked Zeigler for
chew of tobacco Zeigler handed him
plug, after biting off a chew, put the
rest in his pocket Zeigler remonstrat-
ed and fight followed, in which all the
tramps took part. zeigler was knocked
senseless with club and robbed of
silver watch and small amount of
money. The tramps then broke up the
windlass and threw the pieces, together
with the bucket and rope, down upon
Schultz, who was thus imprisoned, with
no means of getting out. He set up
vigorous yelling for help, but it was an
unfrequented spot, and there was no re-
sponse. After some time Zeigler recov-
cred consciousness, and, though badly
beaten, made his way a quarter of
mile to the farm house, where he found
assistance and sent men to the rescue
of Schultz, who was found to be suffer-
ing from severe scalp wound, caused
by the falling timber. The neighbors
organized a hunt for the tramps, but
they could not be found.

against the Rev. Herbert H. Hayden last
week, at New Haven, on the ground that

the murder of Mary Stannard had not been
traced to any one else, except implicitly
and very vaguely.
The jury finally could not agree
and was discharged by Judge Park
The last ballot stood eleven for ac-
quittal and one for murder in the second
degree. Counsel will move for Hayden's
release on bail at the first opportunity.
There is scarcely probability of another
trial. Hayden was warmly congratulated
by his friends.

Library of Universal knowledge.

Volume ~. of this great work, published by
the American Book Exchange, New York, Is
ready January 18th, aud volume V. will be
issued about ten days later. They have been
delayed somewhat by the printing of the large
editions of the previous three volumes and the
other publications of the house, their facilities
for manufacture having been taxed far beyond
their capacity. Removing January first to the
Tribune Building, and to the large building
No. 26 Beckman and No. 18 Spruce street,
where their facilities will enable them to man
ufacture from 6,000 to 5000 volumes day,
the publishers expect to complete the entire
work within the year, as announced. The
volumes thus far issued being only the reprint
of the last edition of the well-known Cham
ber's Encyclopedia, nothing more need be said
of them than that they are well printed and
bound their form is vastly more convenient
than the usual unwieldly quarto or octave,
and their price is cheap beyond all precedent in
book making, SO that to the uninitiated II Is
mystery how SO mnch can be given for little
money, but to the practical printer and book
maker, who knows how the greatest element in
modifying the cost of books is the number of
buyers among whom the investment cost Is to
be distributed, the wonder would be not that
the books can be made for the price, but that
the number of buyers should be counted except
by millions. Those who take pleasure in the
dissemination of useful knowledge and choice
literature will be glad to aid with their infu-
ence an enterprise so altogether worthy. The
publishers will send any quantity of descrip-
tive catalogues, to those who apply, for distri-
button among acquaintances.

Seventy Lives Lost.

LONDON, Jan 21. - A terrible explo-
sion occurred in the Lycett Colliery, at
Newcastle-under-T this morning at
O'Clock. There were seventy-seven
persons in the pit at the time. 1t is be-
lieved that not more than six of the res
cued can possibly recover. Twenty-Five
of the corpses have already been brought
up, a majority of them being SO disfig-
ured as to be unrecognizable. The few
who were rescued alive are dying rapid
ly. The scene at the mouth of the pitts
most heartrending. One of the recover
ed corpses had lost part of the head
Some of the others were burned to Gin
ders, while some appeared to have been
killed by conclusion. Gangs of volun-
teers are descending frequently. The
part of the Lycett Colliery where the ex-
plosion occurred is known as the Fair
Lady Pit, and is the same in which six
men were killed last autumn. The coal
belongs to the Badbury or fiery seam, in
which all of the great Staffordshire ex-
plosions have occurred.
LATER.-Five more bodies have been
recovered from the mine and twenty 9th
ers have been found in the pit. They
will be brought up tonight. Ventila-
ton has been restored.

A viii of His Own.

The Rev. A. d. Madeira of Kansas
City is engaged to marry Mrs. Diggs.
She is beautiful, accomplished, and a
judges daughter, but she is a divorced
woman, and on that ground many men,
bers of Dr. Maderia's congregation OBJ
ject to the union. The pastor called a
meeting of his congregation, to consider
the question. Arguments for and against
the marriage were made by laymen and
the clergyman in an impassioned speech
maintained Mrs. Diggs' right to become
his wife. A vote was not taken, because
he intimated that he meant to do as he
pleased, regardless of consequence.

Three Victims of Kerosene Lamp.

A fatal catastrophe occurred recently
in Pittsylvania county, Va. Mrs. May,
an aged widow lady living with her two
daughters, one being Miss Kate May,
beautiful young lady, eighteen years Of
age, and the other Mrs. Herndon, a mar
ried lady, was placing kerosene lamp
on the mantel, about eight o'clock in the
evening when twas overturned, and an
explosion followed. Mrs. May was en-
veloped it the flames in moment. Mrs.
Herndon and Miss Kate May ran to
their mothers assistance, when the
cl othing of both took fire. The three
ladies rushed into the yard. Mrs. May
and Miss Kate continued to run round
in circle screaming and praying loud
ly for help, until they both fell dead in
their tracks, completely suffocated and
most frightfully burned. Mrs. Herndon

Terrible Death Of a Little Girl.

A few days ago a little daughter, six
year old, of Daniel Boneer, of Middle
Valley, Wayne county, Pa, met a hor-
rible death. A man who was in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Boneer was chopping wood
in front of the house, and the little girl
was near him picking up chips. AS the
man was chopping his axe glanced, flew
from his hands, and struck the child a
glancing blow on the side of the neck,
making fearful cash and severing en-
tirely the jugular vein. The child bled
to death in three minutes. Had it been
direct blow, the child's head would
have been entirely severed from the
body.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsn1NeroN, D. G., Jan. q. $50

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 81, 1880.
No less prominent Congressman than
Speaker Randall says that when the new
House rules are adopted, the appropriation
bills will be passed speedily, and that
neither financial debates nor anything else
will be allowed to interfere. Senator Beck
speaks to-day against Senator Bayard's
greenback resolution. A few other Sena-
tors will follow him but the debate will not
be long.
Despite some grumbling, the selection
of Census supervisors seems to be judi
cious one
hear no complaints that the appointees
are not fit and competent persons.
This government has decided to recog-
nize the King of the Samoan Islands. Now
does any first class statesman want for
eign mission ? If so now is the chance.
There was, last evening" an enormous
meeting of the best citizens of Washington
to provide means of relief for suffering
people in Ireland. A large amount was
subscribed, and efficient agencies formed to
secure further aid The proposal that
Congress shall appropriate half million
dollars as a relief fund meets with opposi-
tion and will hardly succeed
Mr.. Wallace r. White of Maine, must
be considered in one respect fortunate
man. Accused Of bribery, he refused to
appear before the Fusian Legislature which
investigated the case. Now the investiga-
tion is to be had before the Republican
Legislature, but the witnesses against
White are Fusionists and will not recognize
the Republican Legislature by testifying
before it,
OF all the public officers at Washington,
l believe no one is more worthy of praise
than assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
John B. Hawley of Illinois. He has been
in public life long enough to be SO favora-
bly, known the praise seems to be superhu-
Gus. speak of him now solely because
he is widely named as the probable candi-
date for Governor Of Illinois, to be elected
next fall.
His experience in Congress as we'll as in
his present office, shows that his party
could not do better, while his taking away
from Washington will be serious loss to
the present administration. OLIVE.

YOKOHAMA, January 3.--Public atten-
tion is entirely absorbed by disastrous
confagration in Toxic, December 20, the
third similar overwhelming calamity in sew
en- years. Miles of ground were burnt
over, $4,000 homes destroyed and 5000
persons rendered destitute. The actual
pecuniary loss is undetermined, but is not
so great as it would be in western ceun-
tries, owing to the cheap construction of
houses.
The loss of life is put down at about one
hundred. The NUMBER however, is quite
uncertain, many in the rapid progress of
the flames having been overtalxen and de-
stroyed, and of which no vestige remains.
AS happened on two previous occasions of
great fires, considerable portion of the
foreign district was destroyed, including
several missionary establishments, one
church, and the Office of the foreign news
paper, the Toxic Times. The United
States legation was in danger, but fortu-
nately escaped unframed.

Cost of Iron i'm Medieval Times.

The cost of iron anu IRON tools was n
serious difficulty IN medieval husbandry.
When iron implements were worth I'd a
pound, that is to say, at least IS pound
in modern money values, the culture of
the soil was superficial and the fertility
of the surface was rapidly exhausted.
Before the middle of Elizabeth's reign
the art of smelling cast-iron was discov-
cred, for n good deal of the Queens
heavy ordnance was made from TINS ma
terial. Nor is the price OF wrought-iron
trebled, as that of most other commodi-
ties is. In the fifteenth century it was
worth from IS 20 fS ton; III the reign
of Elisabeth from fl0 to ETA. For, us
the success of agriculture is II measure OF
the success with which other employ
ments can be prosecuted, rs well rs n

inventions of the mechanic materially
assist the progress of agricultural art and
lessen the cost of its operations. Com
