Under authority Of The court, in the
early part of the summer of 1879, the
receiver was able to negotiate the bonds
of the company, and with an issue of
certificates, and with what would be-
come available of unpaid subscriptions
to stock, provide fund which would
warrant the undertaking of the extern
sion of the road to WellstOn. The state
ment CD" shows what has been real
lied from these sources, and its appli
cation, which may be summarized as
follows:

sliding Down A Mountain.

The trail leading to the MatamOras
mine is both steep and narrow, and
winds along the side of Prospect Noun
tain from the base to almost the summit.
In places the descent from it is very
precipitOus, falling off almost perpen-
dicularly for distance of 200 and 300
feet. Several pack mules have been
killed by being pushed off at these
points, but no accident has ever hap
pened to the hardy miner and pros
pecter who pass over it until yesterday,
and this fortunately was not fatal
one. The snowfall had almost Obliter-
ated the pathway, making itparticular-
lv dangerous, and when James Ahearn
attempted to make the ascent yesterday
he was forced to grope his way blindly,
trusting to his knowledge of the route
to carry him over safe. 1t was not
sufficient, however, for when about
half way up he slipped from the ice
crust, and before he could recover him
self he was travelling down the
side of the mountain at a rate OF
speed only equaled by a meteor. While
the snow was the immediate cause Of
Ahearn's disaster, it was also his sal
walton, forit not only preserved him
from contact with the rocks as he
plunged down, but received him
in its soft embrace at his stopping place,
some 250 feet from the point of depar-
ture. As it was, his clothes were rent
and torn, so was his skin in sundry
places, and, while no bones were brok-
en-, there are aggregate bruises that will
painfully remind him of his experience
for some days to come.

Has the words "Stock Plan," printed
upon the face of all its policies strictly
according to law, by which it is absO-
lutely impossible for it to make an as
sessment even if it desired to. Com
petition is always honorable and legiti-
mate, lying is equally despicable and
the liar is a fraud. Any agent laying
claim to any honor or integrity cannot
represent that any holder of a policy in
the Ohio Farmers either may be or ever
has been assessed. Any such represen-
tation by any one is at the expense OF
truth, and is utterly dishonest and false.
The most eminent lawyers in the State,
and ablest Insurance Commissioners
the State has had have pronounced Of
the company that, "The insured are not
liable to assessment" G. S. LeBaron,

Elerenth.Hour repentance.

Election crimes are as oldas elections
and as pervading as human ambition
and greed. They tend to undermine
our institutions by corrupting the
sources of authority. They deserve
reprObation, but it is mere hypocrisy in
Democratic politicians to weep over
Returning Board infamies" while they
are Indifferent to the deadlier crimes Of
corrupting the ballot-bOx, which had
their origin in conspiracy their inspira-
tion in Teoklessness and for weapons

An AwfuI SITUATION.

1t seems that Mrs. Kate Zell, of Ches-
ter, Pa, has been convicted of murder
ing by poison an old woman named
Mrs. Mary Kiehl; and unless there is
some interference, either by the Su-
preme Court of the State, the Board of
Pardons or the Governor, she will in a
few weeks be hanged. The papers all
say that interference by either of these
is most unlikely, and would be against
continuous precedents running back
for twenty years. And yet all agree
that the testimony upon which Mrs.
Zell was convicted was ridiculously
tlimsy and incomplete, that no ade-
quate motive for the crime was given
by the prosecution, that the only testi-
mOny which even seemed to connect
her with the alleged murder, was that
of another person suspected of the
crime, that the experts did not agree as
to whether poison had been adminis-
tered to the deceased, and that Conse-
quently there are grave doubts as to
whether there was murder at all
Under these circumstances, the hang
ing of Mrs. Zell would be a damnable
crime, disgraceful to the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania and to the entire Re-
public-a crime which in the myster-
ious providence of God, might bring an
awful judgment upon both. The wO-
man of America should unitedly take
up the case of their imperiled sister,
and public opinion everywhere should
be gathered into one mighty avalanche
to protest against the unheard of bar
barity of executing an innocent woman
on the gallows, because a twenty years
precedent will not allow those who
could save her to interfere. Columbus

CFrom the Xenia TOrehlight, Jan. 21}
In the houses and shops owned by
the Miami Powder Company, about
5000 panes of glass will be required to
replace those broken by the explosion.
Jamestown has received a real acqui-
sition to its moral and social force in
having the evangelists, Nathan and
Esther Frame, take up their residence
there.
The terrific explosion of the Miami
Powder Mills on Monday morning,
shook our city as with an earthquake,
causing our citizens to rush to the
streets, amazed and bewildered, to
know what could be the matter. In
moment, however, the mystery was
solved, as looking in the direction of
the powder mills dense whitish cloud
rolled upward, telling unmistakably of
the destruction that the terrible explo-
sion must have caused.
The secretary of the c., j. and c.
narrow-gauge railroad, in a note to us
from Mount Sterling, Madison county,
says: "Work will begin on the Column
bus end of our road about March 1, and
bepushed energetioally. We confidently
expect that midsummer will witness
the arrival of the first train of cars in
this isolated village" This road, as
we understand, is to be the eastern con-
nection of the "GrasshOpper," and if
so the GrasshOpper" may yet have
near future.

Railway

After the organization of the new
board Of directors of the old S. J. & P.
Railway Company, the following fur
ther proceedings are reported in the
Springfield Republic of 22d:
An Executive Committee consisting
of President Pursell, James Emmitt,
and e. II. Miller, was appointed. The
following resolution, presented by John
Foos, was unanimously adopted
"ReSOlred, That the directors hereby
pledge their individual and immediate
efforts in behalf of the subscription of
two per cent. to be raised upon the stock
to defend Illegal and invalid claims
against the S. J. q p. Railroad Company,
and that they will send all subscriptions
to the treasurer Immediately upon re-
ceipt thereof, and that a report of the
said directors be made to the President
within ten days, Of the progress Of the
collection of said subscriptions"
A committee was appointed to procure
the books and papers of the Company
from the Receiver when he should be
discharged by the Common Pleas Court
of this county, and another to examine
claims against the Company and report
which are valid and which are not. 1t
was decided also to engage Hon. r. A.
Harrison, of Columbus, and S. A. Bow
man, ESQ, of Springfield, to defend the
suit brought in the Ross county Com
mon Pleas Court by the Western Con-
structiOn Company. The Board then
adjourned to meet next at the call of
the President. The session was har-
monious, if rather subdued throughout.
Incidentally in the conversation dis
cussion occurring during the proceed
ings, it was made evident that the new
Board will be in accord with the man
agement of the Springfield Southern in
all matters affecting the best interests
of tine stockholders and points along the
line.
GOING TO WORK.
The following form of subscription to
the two per cent. fund provided for by
Mr. FoOs' resolution has been prepared
and papers with this heading are now
in circulation here:
"The subscribers hereto, stockholders
or stock subscribers in the Springfield,
jackson & POmeroy Railroad Company,
hereby agree with each other and with
the President and Board of Directors of
said Company to bind and obligate
themselves to pay two per cent. q per
cent? on the par value of stock sub
scribed or held by us in said Company,
on demand by the Board of Directors Of
said Company, for the purpose of de-
fraying the expenses incurred by said
Board of Directors in employing coun-
sci and defending any suits at law now
begun or which may hereafter be
brought against the Springfield, jack
son & Pomoroy Rail Road Company
providing that this agreement and sub
scription shall not be binding unless
total stock subscription of not less
than 100000 is represented herein.

Important Announcement.

As some Of the dealers in the Home Sana-
tive Cordial felt uncertain whether they
could sell it as a medicine, and free from Q
liquor occupation tax, we beg to state that in
the trial of case GENTLY decided in the
county court ofEllis c. lnty, at Wsxahachie,
where Mr.. Benjamin White was presented
for selling, in violation of the local option
lazy, the defense established that the Home
Sanative Cordial was compound tincture
of calisays and iron. The jury pronounced
it real medicine, and declared the defend.
ant not guilty. 1t is thus medicine in the
eyes of the law, and dealers can sell
it without paying occupation liquor tax.
Very respectfully,
