Thomas Carlyle's death had been hourly ex-

past was almost complete, although the failure
of his mental power began but recently: He was
able to see only few friends since last sum-

by incessant watchfulness and constant nour-
ishment, the physicians wondering at the ten
acity of his vital forces. Mr.. Browning was
among the last who saw him. Mr.. Froude was

The Electoral Count,

The electoral vote must be counted one week
from next Wednesday, and, as there is no pro-
vision made by the two houses to regulate the
manner of counting, some of the republicans
are beginning to be apprehensive that the dem
ocrats may haye some sinister motive in re-
fusing to pass any rule to which the republicans
are willing to agree, and that trouble is intend
ed and may be expected on February g., Those
who are in position to know something of dem
ocratie purposes say, however, that, while there
may be few revolutionary spirits in that body
who would be willing to do anything which
what the effect upon the country might be, yet
the majority Of the democratic leaders would
not venture toassuma any such responsibility.
and that some method at the last moment viii
be provided for counting the vote.

Another Coal Oil Accident,

A woman named Mrs. Grossly, who is
living in the family of Mr.. John A.
Kneedler, of Cherrytree, Indiana coun-
ty, attempted to blow out the light of
hanging lamp on Sunday morning last,
when the lamp exploded and burn
ing oil enveloped her person, ig-
hitting her clothing and injuring her
very seriously, If not fatally. Mrs.
Kneedler, who was i'll at the time,
sprang from her bed and fastening to
the assistance of the unfortunate woman
endeavored to extinguish the flames by
wrapping piece of carpet about her,
but was prevented from doing so by the
hasty fight of the writhing victim, who
ran out of the house screaming pitifully,
when one of the children succeeded in
putting out the fire by throwing snow
on the poor woman, whose clothing was,
however, almost entirely burned off
above her waist. The fire in the room
was meantime mastered by young Clyde
Kneedler, q son of the proprietor, who
nipped it in the bud with the aid of a
goodly supply of water.

ocrats on the electoral count resolution until
the fourth of March itself puts an endto II.
The contest over the manner of counting the
electoral vote, will, II is hoped, before the next
four years roll around, be settled by some good
and wise law. There are at present several
resolutions before Congress looking to this end.
They are few In number aud will give them
House bill on the calendar TO amend the Con.
stltutlon so as TO elect the President by direct
vote Of the people also bill on the calendar
TO amend the statute In regard to the election
of President and Vice President, both of which
were reported by Mr.. Bicknell's committee last
session. There is also the Senate resolution
proposing joint rule regulating the counting
of the electoral vote, which passed that body,
and is now TO cause SO much contention in the
House.
No little indignation is manifested at the
manner In which the District appropriation
bill has been treated by the House Committee
having 1t In charge. The appropriation of
S300,000 allowed last year for the improvement
of streets has been cut down to 100000. The
amounts estimated for several of the institu-
tlons connected with the District will be
seriously crippled If the Senate Is not moro
liberal than the House. The schools, however,
are well provided for, having had given them
double the amount asked for.
The apportionment bill which was recently
adopted by the Committee on the Census and
which provides for 301 members of the House
will be resisted by the Republicans who claim
thatby 1t the South will have twelve additional
members, and the West will be given but six.
The minority bill providing for 319 members,
will receive the Republican support as they
claim 1t at least, makes a fair division North
and South of the gains. Whether the Demo-
Gratis will, by virtue of their quorum pass their
own apportjonment bill remains to be seen.
Secretary Sherman gave his opinion of the
funding bill which passed the House last week,
to the Senate finance committee yesterday,
and gave such strong reasons for 81 per
cent. bond that the Senate will probably amend
the bill making the interest rate 81 per cent.

Girl Burned to Death.

On Tuesday of last week Miss Maud
McGrady, of Fowler Centre county,
met terrible death from burning. 1t
appears that in the evening she went to
an upper room in the house carrying
lighted lamp in her hand. A moment
after some children came running out
of the house crying fire. A near neigh
bor ran into the house and up STAIRS
He found the girl lying on the floor
with every particle of clothing burned
off her person, and the bed standing
near was all in a blaze. The fire was
extinguished and Miss McGrady cared
for. She was still alive, although burn
ed to crisp from her head to her feet
1t is supposed that the lamp exploded
and set her clothing afire. She lived for
two days in great agony, when death
came to her relief. She was aged Is
years, and was model girl.-AHona

New Mint Valuation of Foreign Coins.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE circular
of the Secretary of the Treasury of jan
uary 1st, proclaiming the estimation
made by the Director of the Mint of the
values of the standard coins in circula-
ton in the various nations of the world,
changes the values Of the following
coins from those proclaimed by the cir
cular of 1880 as follows:
The florin of Austria is reduced from
41.3 cents to 40.7, the Boliviano of Boil
ivia from $50 to S2,3, the milreis of
Brazil increased from 54.5 to SAG, the
peso of Ecuador reduced from S3.6 to
1913, the rupee of India from 39.7 to 80.
Japan having adoped the free coinage
system for silver, the yen which was
formerly given as 997 in gold, is now
SS.S in silver. The Mexican dollar re-
duced from 900 to S9,4, the sol of Peru
from S3.7 to 1913, the rouble of Russia
from 66.9 to 65.S, the mahhule of Tripoli
from 74.S to 74.3, the peso of Columbia
from S3.6 to 1913. The peso of Cuba is
given at 93.2 and the bolivar of Vene-
zuela at 1913. The monetary unit of
Egypt which formerly was stated as the
pound at 4.97,4, is now fixed as the
plaster Ole.

A RascaIiy Parent.

A despatch from Newark, Ohio, says:
" John Comming, day laborer, forbid
his eight year-old son coasting on an
adjacent hill on Saturday last. The boy
disobeyed and the inhuman father took
him to the barn, procured hickory
sapling, split it, put the boys thumbs
inside, nailed the sapling tight where
split, then with it lifted the boy upon
the side of the barn and nailed him,
keeping him in this crucified state from
a o'clock in the afternoon till 10 at
night, when passers-by, hearing the
lads groans, released him. Neighbors
went to Newark for an official to arrest
the father. There is strong feeling
against him." A little lynching would
do brute of that kind good.

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION yet re-
mains unsettled. The vote on Saturday
showed each party with about the same
strength as on the first ballot.
The Harrisburg correspondent of the
New York Herald states that at a con-
ference of Senator Cameron and the
leaders of the oliver movement held on
Wednesday, it was determined to have
the newspapers favoring the regular
candidate pour hot shot into the ranks
of the boiling Republican and to close
the mouths of country editors who have
been opposing the choice of the caucus.
The boilers will also be in constant re-
ceipt of manufactured protests against
their course.
1t is hoped by these means to force the
boilers from their position, and allow
the Cameron ring to succeed in electing
their man. The part of the programme
as far as controlling the papers friendly
to Cameron goes, has already been
put into operation; the closing the
mouths of the other papers however,
may not be so easily done, while the
manufactured protests" will probably
be taken at their proper value. One of
the greatest objection some of divers
opponents have for him aside from his
inexperience in public affairs, is, the
fact that he was an earnest advocate for
the pardon of the men convicted of
bribing members of the last legislature,
he even writing letters to the board urg-
ing their pardon. Other Senators and
Members oppose him because their con-
stituents have instructed them for Grow,
and they believe in obeying the express
ed will of those who they are sent to
represent.

pieces and $3.50 in coin, together with
about 200 in bills done up in enve-
lopes ready for paying the help to day
The above facts are given by Mr.. Brooks
but the police regard some things about
the affair as sufficiently suspicious to
implicate him and have accordingly ar
rested him and his son. His unruffled
clothing and unprepossessing appearance
raised doubts of his accuracy and integ-
rity. Paddy Cavanaugh, a notorious
character, was also arrested.
