JOHN HANNAS, being Blacksmith by
IL trade, had often felt the want of some means
whereby could soften iron at the forge, so that
could work it at a better advantage. This induced
me TO make many experiments with different SUB
stances which offered the best prospect OF success
1t was one of these occasions that discovered
the wonderful effects of Electro Silicon on the
Human System.

The legislative Bribery Gases.

HARRISBURG, Jan. 2l.-The Riot
Bribery cases go over until the second
and third Mondays in March. When
Court met this morning, the case OF
Charles b. Salter was called aud or
dered for immediate trial.
Mr.. Hall, of counsel for defence, OPP
posed trial, and asked for continuance
of the case on the ground that the bill
of indictment contains an increased
number of counts over that of August,
which had not been properly examined
by the defence, owing to q lack OF
time that number of important
witnesses for Salter were not present
in fact had not yet been subpenaed
but the defence was making every
possible effort to do so.
Judge Pearson said he could see no
reason why the case should be post
poned, but to make it fair thing all
around be would call Salter to the bar
and let him testify regarding the miss
ing witness, which was done. the de.
fendant naming parties in different
parts of the State whom he has sum-
moned to break down the evidence of
Foster, of Lehigh.
Salter was cross-examined very
closely by Mr.. Gowen, but did not
deviate from his statement in the least.
A short and sharp argument then
ensued between counsel as to the pro-
priety of postponement, and then the
Bench was consulted, the result being
statement by Judge Pearson to the
effect that Salter would be given till to-
morrow morning to have his witnesses
here, when the trial would begin.
Mr. Mann then filed demurrer to
the Indictment, and more arguments
ensued as to the postponement, the out
come being that the demurrer was
withdrawn, the defence agreeing to
enter pleas in all cases, on condition
that they be postponed until March.
The Commonwealth was willing, and
finally Judge Pearson made the order
that pleas in all the cases should be
entered, in order that there can be no
future wrangle over the indictments,
and that all of the cases, including
Salter's, shall go over until the two
weeks term of Court, beginning on the
second Monday in March. Counsel
for the defence then entered pleas of
not guilty.

What Two .rramps ID.

A daring tramp outrage was COM
mitted near Pinegrove, Schuvlkill Co,
Pa, last Tuesday afternoon. Two men,
named Jonathan Schultz and Jacob
Xieglcr, were digging well on the
farm of Wm Messersmith, and had got
ten it about twenty feet deep. Schultz
was digging Mt the bottom, while Zieg-
Ter operated the windass on the sur
face, when three tramps came along
the road near by and stopped One of
them asked Ziegler for a chew of to.
bacco ZiegIer handed him plug, and
the tramp, after biting oil a chew, put
the rest in his pocket. Zicgler remon-
strated end fight followed, in which
all the tramps took part. Ziegler was
knocked senseless with club and rob-
bed 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 get
ting out He set up vigorous yelling
for help, but it was an unfrequented
spot and there was no response. After
some time Ziegler recovered conscious
ness and, though badly heaten, made
his way quarter of mile to the farm
house, whore be found assistance and
sent men to rescue Schultz, who was
found to be suffering from severe
scalp wound, caused by the falling
timbcrs. The ncighJors organized a
hunt for the tramps, but they could
no be found,

SENATOR BLAINE left Augusta for
Washington last Wednesday, having
been detained about six weeks by the
quandary of his Republican friends at
home. We suppose that he thinks the
time not wasted Viewed as a piece
of political work, without question as
to the merits of the cause or the NOR
ality of the methods, Mr.. Blaine's
management of the Republican case
throughout the complications has been
admirable. lie undertook to carry on
business which seemed hopeless to
many of his followers. He has pro-
ceeded by well considered steps gain
ing ground steadily, and as steadily
forcing his adversaries back from their
positions of advantage. He has out
witted both the Democratic and Green
back leaders. Some of these gentle
men are prone to underestimate the
efficiency of Mr.. Blaine's wits as an
element to be contended with. They
make a grave mistake when they at
tribute his success in politics to ad-
ventitious circumstances.

Important Decision.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23.-Judge
McKcnnan, in the L. S. Court this
morning, delivered an opinion in the
case Of John Sherman Hall against the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
This is a test suit tried in 1873 to fix
the responsibility for loss by the Pitts
burgh riot. 4 jury was dispensed with
and evidence submitted to the Judge
to ascertain the facts and apply the
law. After reviewing the testimony
Judge McKennan concluded his opin-
ion as follows: Upon the whole case
| am of the opinion, and 50 find that
the loss complained of was caused by
fire while the plaintiffs goods were in
transit by the defendant within the
meaning OF the exception in the bill of
lading, that the defendant is not shown
to have been guilty of any negligence
by which the efficiency of the eXcep-
tion is in any way impaired, and hence =
forth the plaintiff is not entitled to re-
cover" 1t was admitted at the trial
that the plaintiffs goods were des-
troyed by fire during the riot, and the
bill of ladng offered in evidence con-
tanned clause excepting the liability
of the railroad company or freight
company for freight lost by fire.

Senator Garfisld's Speech.

CoLUMBUs, Jan. IA reception
was given to Gen. Garfield, United
States Senator-elect, in the Capitol
last night.
Gen. Garfield was introduced by
Governor Foster; and, after some
handshaking made a speech, in which
he referred to the qualification he felt
at his election and this reception. He
then spoke of the memories the Ohio
Capitol recalled to him.
ut was here" be said, "thc word
was first brought of the firing on Fort
Sumter. | remember that one week
later, on the motion of a Democratic
leader, who occupied seat on the
other side, we surrendered this Cham
ber to several companies Of soldiers
who had come to Columbus to tender
their services to the imperilled Gov
ernment.
"Tbey slept on the carpet and these
sofas while waiting for other quarters
outside the Capitol Here was the
nerve centre of anxiety and agony
during the early scenes of the war.
Here over 5000 citizens rendered their
services during the course of three
weeks to the imperilled nation.
"All party lines disappeared as if by
magic; and from both sides of this
| Chamber men went out to take their
places on the field of battle. We meet
here tonight with the war so far back
in the distance that it is almost half
forgotten memory.
1--WE meet here tonight with a
nation redeemed under the flag we
fought for, with glorious, great and
growing Republic, made greater and
more glorious by the sacrifices through
which it has passed"
He then paid warm tribute to Sen
ator Thurman, ethan whom" he said,
'Ohio has had few larger-minded,
broader-minded men in the record of
it's history and referred to the kind
words spoken Of him by Senator Thur
man in the State canvass, saying that
'the flowers that bloom over the
garden wall of party politics are the
sweetest and most fragrant that bloom
in the gardens of this world, and
where we can pluck them, and enjoy
their fragrance, it is manly and delight
full to do So"
Speaking Of his long service in Con-
gress from one district, whose apprGbas
tion he had always greatly desired.
without egotism he still more desired
the appreciation Of one person, and his
name was Garfield Continuing, after
the laughter had subsided, he said {:
''He is the onl ly man | am compelled
to sleep with laughter and eat with !;
and if | could not have his approba-
ton should have bad companionship
rlaughtcr] and in this larger constitu-
ency which has called me to represent
them now / can only do what is true
to my best self, applying the same rule,
and if | should he so unfortunate as to
lose the confidence of this large cor
stituency, | must do what every other
fair-minded man has to do-carry his
political life in his hands, and take the
consequences"
With few words more, he bade Re-
publicans and Democrats a cordial
'good night"

Grant and the Earthquake

HAVANA, Jan. 23.-General Grant
and party passed a comfortable night,
Notwithstanding the earthquake To
day being the Kings saint day, a grand
official reception was held at the palace.
1t was attended by the members OF
the municipality and the superior mil
itary and naval officers, in full uniform,
and foreign consuls. General Calljas,
Vice Governor General, held a recep-
ton, as usual in the throne room,
Generals Grant and Sheridan and
Cllonel Fred Grant assisting, by the
side of General Callijas. The ladies
of the visiting party witnessed the re-
ception from an adjoining saloon, no
ladies' being permitted to attend such
official receptions, After the reception
General Grant, his son and General
Sheridan drove through the city. This
evening a grand official banquet will be
given in honor of General Grant, at
which the ladies of the superior officers
are expected to be present. twas ex-
pected that General Grant and party
would also attend the Tacon Theatre
tonight, but the banquet will inter-
fcre with that part of the plan.
Severe earthquake shocks were felt
in this city last night at eleven O'Clock
and again at four this morning.
Earthquakes have never before been
experienced here, and many people
were frightened and passed the night
in the public squares. No person was
injured, and no damage was done to
property. The duration of the shocks
was about three seconds. The barom-
etcr was very low last evening. To-
day at noon the barometer registered
80 and the thermometer 10. Accounts
from VHelto Abajo state that the
earthquake was severely felt there, and
much damage done to buildings, es-
pecially at San Cristobal The shocks
were oscillating, from the east to the
west. 1t was supposed there had
been a heavy earthquake somewhere in
Central America. At Santiago de
Cuba no disturbance was felt.

The Waype Monument.

From Erie Dispatc. Jan. al
The walls for the block house over
General Wayne's grave on Garrison
Hill have reached the second story and
are about ready for the roofing. The
flag staff is to be seen towering up
through the timbers but has not yet
been raised to perpendicular position.
1t will stand on the identical spot from
which arose the ancient staff at the
foot of which the old hero desired his
body to be buried, which request was
carried out to the letter. The base OF
the new pole will be imbedded in a
foundation of masonry, and will last
for years. The grave has been encased
with stone wall which is to be sur
mounted with a slab In the erection OF
this monument we have then block
house the fac simile of the one in which
Wayne died, his grave and the flag
staff combined in one attraction.

In the County Committee last Sat
urday the suggestion was made that
the time for holding the Primaries this
year might as well be fixed, which,
however, was not passed upon. 1t
might as well have been done, and
thus saved the trouble and expense to
the Committee of assembling again
before very long, as they will now
have to do, and may be in equally az
bad weather. But perhaps the Chair
man wants some further endorsement
before his time expires as such.
