N. o. Times.
1t has suited the purposes ofpar-
tisan politicians to malign the
State of Mississippi. Isolated acts
of violence have been made a pre-
text for sweeping 1enunciation.
OF course the result has been to
drive away immigration. Missis-
sippi needs immigration above
everything else, for her resources
are ample aud varied ; an increased
population is alone required TO de-
velope them.
The area of Mississippi is AZ, ,756
square miles, equal to 3O,l79, $40
acres of, which, in 1870, only IL,
I2I, 900 acres were comprised in
farms aud only 100000 acres
were improved. II is an encOura-
ging fact however that whereas in
1860 the average size OF the farm
was $40 acres in 1870 it has fallen
to 1913 acres. This shows that the
State is making steady progress
in the right direction and that the
opportunity of the yeoman farmer
has at last arrived.
The financia! condition of Missis-
sippi is remarkably fortunate as
compared with that OF her sister
States OF the South. Mississippi
has in reality, no debt. In 1878
the rate of State taxation was 81
mills; even then there was "a sur
pilous revenue of $72, 6l6,00. The
law forbids that the rate of taxa,
tion for all purposes shall in any
case exceed fifteen mills.
Many people unacquainted with
the actual facts have supposed
Mississippi to be ii remarkably
unhealthy State, but the figures OF
the United States census for 1876
tell very different story. The fol
lowing is the annual death rate
per thousand in Mississippi aud

whom Sheriff MattOck was taking into the

sault on a woman. COrlew ran into the

and was shot again. He then ran into the

chased through dry goods store and up an
alley and into the street again. He finally
got into 4 room over y saloon and was
''cornered'' by his pursuers. The husband
of the woman then fired four more shots

IT has heen several days since the Er.
dn.iner stated positively as matter of
fact that in the primary election of the
Republican party in the second ward of
this city in 1879 a packed ballot box was
substituted for the true one, and that
the honest vote of one majority for John
z. Good, as recorder, was fraudently
changed to one hundred and forty-six for
Benjamin Longenecker, a candidate for
the same office, and that it was so return
ed and counted. Upon such statement,
from such source, undenied by those
whom it affects, a presumption arises
that the officers in charge of the election
were guilty of or cOnnived at this fraud.
They were young men we'll known in
this city, and if the aspersion upon their
character by the Examiner is false it
behOoves them to clear themselves of it

Million Dollars.


A fire broke out in Buffalo at noon yes
terday in the planning mill of of J. F. De-
witt. At 10 p. m., it was under control.
It proved to be one of the most disastrous
that has occurred in that city for number
of years. 1t covered an area of of quar-
ter of a mile in length, and about 500 feet
in width burning and destroying to the
value of 1925, 900, on which there is an
insurance of S175, 600. Dc Wits planning
mill, which was one of the largest in the
country, being 800 by $50 feet in dimen-
sions, was totally destroyed in ten minutes.
So rapid was the progress of the flames
that there was no time to close the office
safe, which, together with its contents,
was destroyed. An cightcen-inch fly
wheel, weighing about ten tons, burst into
pieces, flying some thirty feet, but injur-
ing no one. TIE flames next
consumed Searles, Bruning's and o. T.

WILLIAM PAINrOR3 DEATH.


Up Into the Derrick and Dropped lAfoloes 10
tho fl0oe.
Wednesday afternoon William Paintor,
agent Of the Standard purchase Of the
extensive oil property, better known asthe
Smith farm, at Franklin, Venango county,
and Edward Davis an employee of Mr..
Painter, werc drawing the tubing from
well on tho west end of the farm, near
the school house, across the hollow from
the Galloway road. It seems that the men
had two sections out and were drawing
on the third. The tug rope which runs
from the beam wheel shaft to the bull
wheel was loose and Jagged considerable,
which caused some trouble and delay in
drawing. When the third section was
drawn to the clamps, the rope on the ex:
tension throttle was pulled and it would
not work. Finding that the tubing was
being drawn towards the top of the derrick
and the engine could not be stopped, Mr.
Painter made an endeayOr to catch the
brake of the bull-wheel end and stop that
much of the machinery before any damage
was done. In attempting to do this he
struck the rod which reverses the en-
gine and slipped and fell, striking Davis
who had hold of the pulling rope, and
they both were caught in the terrible
coils and whirled around the bul'-whee
shaft. Davis was caught at the ankle and
his boot was pulled of, which saved hi
life. as he was only thrown about eight fee
and had his leg broken by the rope. Mr.
Painter death was terrible. He was wount
around the bull.wheel shaft about sever
times, his head was beaten to jelly be
fore his leg pulled apart, throwing hin
about thirty feet up into the derrick AMI

Wedding Trip to the Inlet.
John IL. Schwartz and Henrietta
Schmidt, Of Chester, were married last
Wednesday. They hit upon the novel
plan of having the ceremony performed
on the beach, with only the white surf to
play the wedding march. With that OBJ
jcct in view they left Philadelphia
on the Narrow Gauge excursion
train, accompanied by the parents of
the wo..ld-be bride and the Rev. a. Wes-
ley Henry,a Methodist minister. A number
of friends were included in the party. AS
the train drew nearer and nearer the
young lady s heart grew fainter and fainter.
She pictured the crowds upon the beach,
and told her expectant husband that she
never, never could stand up before so many
gazing eyes. But the young man didn't
like to change his plans, and then there
was long parley. A hotel was suggested,
but that wouldn't do, and finally 4 CON-
promise was effected, and the young lady
agreed that the wedding should take place
on the cars right then and there. The
minister was called upon, the bridal
couple stood up and in a moment they
were made one. Upon the arrival of the
train here the party were driven to Schauf.
ler's to dinner. Then came a plunge in
the surf and Mr.. and Mrs. Schwartz went
on wedding trip to the Inlet. After a
sail the wedding party took the cars fol
home.
