THAT clumsy and expensive institu-
tion which is popularity known Us the
state agricultural college, located in
splendid buildings, on big farm some
where up in Centre county, and richly
endowed by the state, now proposes to
recruit its depleted ranks of students, by
offering free scholarship to one boy in
each senatorial district in the state-that
is, free tuition. There is nothing in this
offer to induce anybody to hunt a chance
to avail himself of it. Free tuition is
not hard to find. 1t is almost the rule
in Pennsylvania institutions of higher
learning, and scholarships of that sort
are readily to be had by any needy or as
piring boy. Such will not likely want
to GO to an institution which has such a
painful, if not shameful history as this
state college of ours. Ithas been great
outrage that all this expenditure has
brought no better results. Far better
had it been distributed among the really
meritOriOus colleges of the state, who.
with a mere tithe of its resources, have
done ten times as much good work. and
who offer as good terms and much better
inducements to young men to enter their
halls.

the fuel pile as such. These devellish
modes of warfare-0r rather of inhuman
massacre-can only do the Irish cause
harm and awaken the resentment
of the civilized world, except Wen
dell Phillips. It may be that J.
O'Donovan Rossa has no completely in
these villainous schemes to destroy inno-
cent people including American tour
lists on the high seas, but the fact that he
has advocated such things in his United
LrisIn,an entities him and his paper to
utter disrepute and popular condemna-
ton. America offers a refuge to exiled
patriots, but not for assassins and incen-
diaries.

HENRY SHAFFNEE has long been a
familiar figure with the Democracy of
Lancaster county. Like the late VIII
liam Dungan,o of Eden, and David IIouck,
of Clay, Samuel Long, Of West Lampc-
ter, Geo. Duchman, of East Earl, Eman-
nel S. Keener, of Penn, Geo. w. Worm
Icy, of East Donegal, Henry NJ. Weller,
OF Silver Springs, John l.. Lightner, Of
Leacock, and many other good men and
true in the ranks of the veterans, Mr..
Shaffner was one Of those of whom our
opponents say that they always know
when they are in town that there is a
Democratic convention or committee
meeting. Nothing has been more admi-
rable in the Democracy of this county,
and nothing has more frequently excit-
ed the wonder of its opponents than
the courage and persistency with
which men like these have adhered to
its fortunes and maintained it's organiza-
tion amid all changes Of political fortune,
unselfishly and unflinchingly. There is
a class of middle-aged men in the party
who are taking their places, and good
stock of younger ones coming on, but
the services of those who connect the
Democratic contests under Hancock
with those Of Buchanan, Polk, and even
Jackson, are not to be forgotten, and as
they pass from earth to the Great Be-
yond, the party here owes it to them to
pay tribute to their memory as good cit
liens and patriots.

TWO TERRIBLE ACCIDENTS.
Occurring In NeIghbOring Counties.


At Haverford, on the +. Il. r., ycster-
day, Miss Annie Rutter, Il young lady
from Philadelphia, visiting in that neigh
borhood, with her elder sister ran across
the railroad track to board 4 train on
which they were going to Merton. A con-
struction train came up without being OBJ
served until close on them, when the elder
sister jumped back and tho younger ono
was struck by the engine and thrown be-
tween the two trains, killing her almost
instantly. 1t is said that the engineer of
the construction train violated orders in
coming up with his train while the passen.
ger train was at the station, and that he
gave no signal of his approach until upon
the unfortunate lady, when he gave 4
shrill whistle from tho engine, which, it is
thought, only confused the victim of the
disaster.
The accident at Jones' ore mines, in
Caernarvon township, Berks county, re-
suited from the regular monday blast, set
off just before 12 o'clock, SO that the car
leaders may have 4 stock Oil hand prepar-
atOry to sending the cars up the inclined
plane after dinner. When the word was
given, all hands hastencd to place of
supposed safety. John Kutz, aged 10;
James Patton, aged % Peter Mccormick
and Christian kutz, brother to the first
named, took shelter beneath a gangway
made of slabs, partly covered with old
railroad ties, behind small embankment.
The blast was fired, when, all of sudden,
u lump Of ore weighing about so pounds,
shot Is yards into the air, and
came dashing over the bank, strik-
ing on ono of tho heavy slabs,
when it burst into four pieces like q bomb
shell, with the above result. Christian
Kutz, who escaped unhurt, Immediately
gave the alarm, when all hands fastened
to the place of the dead and dying. Tho
young Patton, having been struck on the
head by tho deadly missile, expired almost
instantly. He bled profusely and the
brain oozed from the top of the head.
Young Kutz, who was struck on the left
side of the abdomen, lived about fifteen
minutes, while Mccormick, who was ser
iously injured in the region of the stomach
is still living, but faint hopes are enter
tanned for his recovery.

Tho Decllne of tho Senate


The Republicans lost three of their
ablest men in the Senate when Conklinc.
Blaine and Carpenter were removed from
that scene. The Democrats were equally
unfortunate in losing Thurman, Eaton.
Mcdonald, and others of lesser degree
who had attained prominence and useful
ness. As a body, the Senate has fallen
from its former high estate, aud no longer
enjoys the confidence that the country
once reposed it it. The purchase of seats
almost in open market, by rich aspirants
for political fame /; the constant accession
of the agents, attorneys, or creatures Of
great corporations and the presence of
notorious jobbers in Legislation, have con-
tributed to decline, which is getting
worse instead of better.
