The Standard says the present respite |

set Of courtesy towards the United |

made afidavits that the prisoners rels-
tions informed him, prior to trial, that |
Lannon's mind had been destroyed by |
morphia. The above liae Of defense, he |
says, however, was not adopted ct the |
trial, because the prisoners counsel was
misled by statements OF medical experts. |
It WAS decided that actual defense was
good and sufficient, without touching |
upon the mental condition of the pEi- |
s0ner. Friends of DR.. Lsnson are not |
without hope that the prisoner may es-
cape the death penalty despite tbs state
ments in Hsrcourt's letter.

General Roarer Aroused.

Towanda, June 14.-General Beaver
left Scranton this morning, early, and
went to Montrose. He was serenaded
at the hotel, and made brief speech,
after which he held an, informal re-
ceptlon, and large number of citizens
of all political faiths called to pay their
respects. He remained less than two
hours, and took the eleven o'clock
train for Tunkhannock. He was re-
ceived there by Captain Reynolds, the
member of the Legislature from
Wyoming County, and a large dele
cation of prominent citizens. During
the two hours he remained q large
number of people called upon him. He
took the afternoon train for Towauda,
and quite u delegation of Republicans
accompanied him to the home of
Senator Davies, the nominee for Lieu
tenant-Governor. At several of the
stations OH the road other delegations
were added. At Towanda he was re-
ceived and driven to the Ward House,
and there q large number of represen-
tatiye men from different sections of
Bradford County met him, and for an
hour and more he was occupied in
shaking bands with the people who
had come in from the country.
Among the crowd at every place he
visits, the number of soldiers who
gathered to greet him is especially
noticeable.
Tonight General Beaver was ten
dered, at the Ward house, by large
crowd, a serenade, and made a short
speech, acknowledging the compli-
ment. He said very little about poll
tics except the following significant
utterance: "In this campaign no man
shall question my manhood. Here
and now L challenge any man in this
Commonwealth, to single himself out
and say that by word or act l ever
framed my acts or utterances, at the
dictation or to suit the purposes of any
living man, nor will ever do so. l
owe allegiance to, and recognize, no
power but that of the whole Republi-
can party of Pennsylvania. / gather
up now, and shall never cease to do so,
all the idle insinuations to the contrary
and put them in the face of those who
utter them, My whole life gives the
most emphatic denial to all such in
nuendos, and would like to see the
man who would question my manhood
or my fidelity to the aggregated force
fthe Republican party and that only"
He was loudly applauded. Senator
Davies followed him in a short ringing
speech. Mr.. Hall and other local
speakers followed. General Beaver
goes TO Troy and thence to Bellefonte.

SLAVERY DAYS RECALLED,


A NEGRO IN LOUISVILLE SOLD INTO
sERvITUDE FOR ONE YEAR.
a special dispatch from Louisville,
KY, says: Memories of the anti
bellum days were recalled in a vivid
manner to-day, in this city, by the sale
into slavery for ole year of John Han
son. John is, as the advertisement
posted on the Court House door states,
IAN able-bodied man of color, about
forty years of age, sound in every
respect, with the exception of rheu-
matte trouble of the lower limbs.n -
Hanson was brought before Justices
court a few davs ago and convicted of
vagrancy. The Justice sent the case
to the Cicruit Court, where, under the
provisions of law passed in 1895, he
was sentenced to be sold at auction to
the highest bidder for one year. The
authority for this sentence is found in
section A of the Vagrancy law of Ken
lucky, which reads as follows: Per
sons indited for vagrancy shall be tried
by jury, and if found guilty shall be
sold into servitude for period not ex-
ceeding one year" AS Hanson's case
was the first of the kind in this city
siuce before the war, the announce
ment of his sale brought q large crowd
together, in spite of a threatening
storm, to witness the novel sight. A
large number'of negroes were present,
and their comments on the sale were
very amusing. One old darky with
frosty hair remarked; "I.ook out
white folks look out you start dis heah
business agin and there'll be another
'bellioo, suah." Another said: Why,
dat niggan's no count; L wouldn't give
| five cents for him; I'd considera nickel
frown away on him."
| AT Il O'Clock the Sheriff made his
appearance with the vagrant in tow.
The latter was mounted on chair,
and sleepishly surveyed the crowd
about him. Several men approached
him, felt of his legs and arms, and
asked him how much work he could do,
and finally the bidding commenced.
Fifty cents was the first offer, and for
II while the bidding was lively going
up nickel at time until $1.l5 was
reached. Then there wasa II pause, and
it looked as if the poor man would be
knocked down at this low figure, when a
city scavenger offered two dollars, and
no one bidding against him, secured his
man. The negro said nothing to the
boots of the crowd, but meek ly follow
ed his master Off BY the laws of the
State the purchaser has the same power
over his purchase as master over
slave had before the war, and can
whip him or use him in any manner
he sees fit. The Judge that sentenced
Hanson says he is going to serve every
vagrant who comes before him in the
future in the same manner. The
negroes in the crowd were excited,
and thought it was to unpleasantly
like old slave-time practices for com
fort. AS an illustration of the stag
nation prevalent in Kentucky, this
incident is particularly striking. That
Il law passed in the last century, and
which is in direct conflict with the
laws and Constitution of the United
States, should be enforced in large
city like Louisville and in this age is
not only remarkable but strongly in
dicative of the progressive spirit
which characterizes the Bourbon law
makers Of the typical Bourbon State.

A Great Oil Fire.

Bradford, June l9.-At five O'Clock
this morning one of the most severe
thunder storms that ever visited this
country passed over the northern oil
field, doing immense damage in the
way of destruction of petroleum. At
Olean two tanks belonging to the
United Pipe Line were struck 10y
lightning, and are now burning. The
first was located on the HOrner farm,
and contained 35, 900 barrels of oil. 1t
is on the race track, and will prob
ably interfere with the races which
were to commence tomorrow. Sur
rounding this tank, and in danger of
being ignited when an overflow occurs,
are fifteen tanks of similar calibre.
The second tank struck was on the
Seymour farm. 1t is u 3O,000-barrel
tank and is still burning. Surround
ing this are fifty one other tanks,
ranging from $4,000 to 900 barrels
capacity, all Of which are in danger,
as they are about four hundred feet
apart. Trenches are being thrown
up around the tanks exposed,
and cannon are on the ground to pe.-
forate the tanks now burning, to let
OFF their contents at the bottom and
prevent an overflow. The Olean
blaze has already consumed over Co.
600 barrels of crude, while the
amount in danger appreximates 2,OOO,'
900 barrels, aside from the large tanks
struck at Olean. Numerous reports
are being received of small tanks al
wells being struck in various parts Of
the region. Up the East branch o
the Bradford field, the Chauncey Oil
Company, e. Strong & Co., and other
parties on the Quintuple and Moody
tracks, lost a large number of tanks
and rigs, the oil lost aggregating
several thousand barrels. On Foster
Brook aud Indian Greek, severa
tanks and rigs were burned, with ovel
a thousand barrels of oil. In the
Aliegany field, the storm was quite
disastrous, some half dozen rigs being
burned, together with 10000 barrels 0
tankage and $50, 600 barrels of oil.

"A World correspondent visiting
the Mormons has found great deal to
admire in their social life, and writes a
flattering account of one of their set
Elements, called Logan, place of four
thousand inhabitants, where every
man owns his farm, and where there
are only two policemen, who have so
little to do that they engage in other
business. 1t is not because of their
polygamous practices, however, that
these Mormon settlers maintain good
order without the Intervention of the
people. In fact the proportion ofpolyg-
amists is very small The population
is select; in the first place, as to the
sobriety, industry and thrifty habits of
its members. Then, too, they have
banished liquor from the settlement.
When liquor was sold there murder
was committed in drinking saloon,
and these now orderly townfolks
lynched the murderer and abolished
the liquor traffic. After time licenses
were again issued, and there We're soon
ten times as many prisoners in tail as
before the opening of saloons, The
latter were then definitely closed, with
the result that Logan cannot find full
employment for its police force of two
men. Polygamy, or the absence of it,
has nothing whatever to do with this
in fact, there are other settlements,
such as Vineland, where similarly
good results were obtained; first, by
the thrifty habits of the people, and
next, by forbidding the sale Of liquor.

Very respectfully,


There was a full house present in
Library ball last evening to become bet
ter acquainted with the ways Of the
World under the Haverly company's
tutorage. The small size of the stage
necessitated the absence of several very
important bits of scenic effect and a
consequent cutting of the play, but the
World wagged on as usual and when it
came to an end it was evident that the
affair had been satisfactory to the au-
dience assembled.
On Friday evening next Phosa Nc
Allister and her company will again
visit Cheyenne with her excellent COM
pany, presenting Shakespeare "As You
Like It," This is one of the ncatest
and prettiest little comedies among the
whole list of the Avon bard's works,
and this company excel in 1t. While
in Denver the press accorded this COM
pany the high compliment of faithful
and good work, and especially so in the
piece which they present Friday next.
