olutions were adopted at the Union
school house, July 9Th, by the lola town
ship anti bond organization without
dissenting vote. You will please publish
the same:
Whereas, That we, the legal voters of
lola township, are unalterable and firm
~ opposed to any and all kinds of rail-
road bonds of any kind and shape what
ever. And
Whereas, We are as firmly opposed to
the city of lola foisting on the township
any more grevious burdens in the shape
of bonds of any kind Therefore be it
Resoired, That the taxpayers of lola
township already pay an enormous bond
tax and have for a number of years been
ground down with exorbitant taxes, we
will firmly oppose any further attempt
to impose any further Indebtedness upon
ourselves until our present Indebtedness
Gs cancelled.
RESOLVED, That we will not support any
man of any political creed, for any office
whatever, that votes for or uses his inf1u-
ienee for railroad bonds. and we will use
all honorable means to defeat such person.
Resolued, That copy of these resolu-
'tions be furnished to the county papers

The Bogus Diploma Man i'm Court.
 PHmADE1PH1A, Nov. 24.-Dr. John Bu- chanan, who issued alleged bogus medical diplomas in the names of the American Uni versity, the Eclectic Medical College and the Pennsylvania University, was tried to-day to- gether with Martin V. Chapman, his brother in-law, and Thomas E. Vandusen, upon 8 charge of conspiracy to defraud the govern ment of $5, 1000, the amount of Buchanan's bond. The verdict was guilty in the cases of Buchanan and Chapman, but acquittal for Vandusen. The latter personated the doctor at the time he was alleged to have been drowned in the Delaware river. Chapman was found in Buchanan's company when ar rested in Canada after numerous escapades, in which he dexterously eluded the officers who were in search of him for long time. Chapman was captured month ago. Sen tence was deferred. The announcement was made in court that the trial of Buchanan on a charge of sending bogus diplomas through the mails will be proceeded with next Tues day.

An Insane Incendiary.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 24.-A special from St. Peter says that Ben Hazelton an inmate of the asylum, has been arrested on suspicion of having fired the building. He has made a confession of the deed. He says he was badly treated, and tried to burn the building down in revenge. He says he wishes all had been burned. He placed can of naptha in the female wing, but it did not ignite when he tried to kindle it. He was considered a mild case and allowed the run of the build ing.
 The facts, so far as known, are as follows |: Hazleton having been employed upon some outdoor work around the hospital was direct ed to finish his work that night, and he was thus detained little later than usual. When he returned to the hospital he found 8 cold and unpalatable supper awaiting him. This incensed him and he swore revenge on his at tendants telling Engineer Prince he would have revenge if he had to burn down the whole hospital in order to do it. No atten- tion appears to have been paid to his threats. Shortly after fire was discovered. The ma niac's story that he used quantities of naph- tha in starting the fire is confirmed by sever- al firemen, who heard the explosion. He placed the can of naphtha under the female wing, but it providentially failed to ignite.
