What Shall We Drink in Hot
Weather.

The thirsty season of the year has ar
rived and the summer drink is in de-
mand. The refreshing gurgle of the
soda fountain is as invigorating to the
thirsty soul as the bee of the desert
telling of water near. What will you
have, ginger ale, root beer, birch beer,
a new and most delicious compound,
nectar, mead, plain soda, ice cream
soda, q drink that combines one ice
cream and one soda in a moonlight
sonata ofperfect harmony, spruce beer,
plain lemonade, lemonade with berries
and sliced pineapple, lime jucice, and
all the different sodas coffees, soda,
raspberry, strawberry, lemon, pineap-
pie, ginger and other 1iavorings?
Then there are iced mineral waters,
cordials and tonics without number,
and and old fashioned drink which is
getting scarce, buttermilk. Iced tea
and coffee, iced milk and koumiss OF
milk champagne are all summers cool
ing beverages, and cheap but popular
tizz known as pop, $50 cases of which
were consumed on the fair grounds in
this city last week. There are num-
ber of cooling harvest drinks which
are made in the farmhouse home
brewed hop beer, ginger beer, dande
lion coffee and boiled compound o
water, molasses and ginger, when cold
is a very grateful drink. No intoXicat
ing liquors should be INDUCED in dur
ing hot months. They are made il
| the most seductive manner under sucl
| fascinating names that they invite in
vestigation and with so much frui
sugar and mint that the modicum o
| liquor seems lost, but to many on'
they are dangerous attractions "rher

heated blood receives more fuel, tn,
appetite Graves more refreshing and ;
WEAKNESS and lassitude of spirit sue

1t is estimated that of all artificial
drinks the numerous root beers an,

A Terrible Death.

BOARD HURLED TWENTY FEET AND
DRIVEN THROUGH A MANS BODY.
Coroner Shindler returned from
Williamstown to day, says the Harris
burg Telegraph of Thursday, where
he held an inquest on the body of Hen
ry Messersmith, killed on Tuesday.
Messersmith was employed in the saw
mill ofthe Summit Branch mines, and
was engaged in saving timber. A log
had been run through the saw, and at
the end, instead of the sawed board
falling to the side away from the
saw, it was caught by the saw teeth
and portion of it hurled with terriff-
ic force through the mill, striking Mes
sersmiet, who was twenty feet away
The huge splinter, about six feet long,
eight inches wide and an inch thick,
struck Messersmith in the right side
and passed through his body, one end
protruding from the body on the left
side. So tightly was the board
wedged in that it took two men tC
draw it out. Messersmith lived but 8
short time. He was aged twenty-siS
and leaves a wife. The verdict was
one of accidental death"

THE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE AID
DRESSES A MECHANICsBURG MEETING.
Mechanicburg, Aug. Ex-senator
Stewart spoke from the balcony of the
Merchants Hotel this evening to an
audience of 800 persons, including
number of prominent manufacturers
and business men of the place, who
are Indepedent sympathisers. Intro
duced by George Houck, proprietor of
an extensive Iron foundry, Senator
Stewart proceeded straight to his task
by stating succinctly the platform and
purposes of the Independent wing of
the Republican party. While the
stalwart element sought control of the
party for personal aggrandizement, the
Independent position, he asserted, was
matter of faith and principle. The
May Convention in, Philadelphia
wanted a united party and there would
have been unity were it not for those
in control. The last two planks in the
platform of the Harrisburg Conven-
ton the speaker pronounced fraud
and a delusion. General Beaver, in
accepting the nomination before the
Convention, said that the platform set
forth principles which met with his
entire approval, which were not only
correct in themselves, but absolutely
necessary to good government, and
that their enforcement would be re-
quired by the people. "Now,". said
the speaker, "he is making his cam
paign on the very assessments which
were then denounced. My first vote
was cast for Abraham Lincoln at 9
time when the Republican party with

A Baby Found.

Yesterday the authorities in this
city received telegram from the rail-
road officials at Williamsport to the eff
feet that q two-weeks old baby had
been found by Brakeman Halfpenny
in square basket on a coach that had
been attached to the Erie Mail east
Monday night at this station.-The
coach in question came up from below
and left in charge of Mr.. George
Waitz.-This gentleman Immediately
took possession of the coach and locked
the doors and windows. No other
person entered the car until it was at
tached to the Erie Mall, as the gentle
man referred to, just before train time,
had entered it, lighted the lamps and
turned every seat in the car and moth
ing of the kind was noticed. 1t is
supposed if the baby was placed in the
car at this station, it was after the
train men had possession of 1t. The
baby was taken in charge by William

The Same Old Story.

a facetious newspaper man hits the
spike on the head when he philosophi-
zes thusly: "A good many people think
that newspaper work is just as easy as
falling down on ice or finding a girls
lips in the dark. We used to think so
ourself, but that was when we were u
bigger fool than we are now. We
knew young man once out west, who
for two years longed for II place on a
newspaper as reporter, and at last he
got it. The first two days he was re-
quired to report horse race, Il temper
ance meeting and a fire seven miles out
of town. After he had done all this,
the managing editor told him he might
write Washington letter, giving a
summary of the political situation at
the National capital, and then he
could go out and get some points on
the pork market for the next day S
paper. He wanted to know how in
the dread future lie could write Wash
ington letter at point IA miles from
the national capital, and when he had
never been there in his life. The man
aging editor coolly replied that "if he
couldn't write letter from any point
| in the known world on fifteen minutes
notice, he'd better quit the newspaper
business before he disgraced it," He
resigned that same evening, and went
back to his old counting-house stool
and his old time, independent, ten
dollars week air, and never asked tc
be a journalist again. Some men seem
to be born to do newspaper work, anc
they will do it if they have to live Oh
cold hash and button their coat up tC
their chin while their only shirt is il
the wash. And they will be just a
happy, too, as the son-in-law of ;
monopolist with a bad cough. The.
would never be contented in any othe
calling, even if it paid them $4,000 ;
year and firewood. All others shoulC
keep out of the journalistic field"

APrisoner Commits Suicide.

Charles Benning, German tramp,
committed suicide in the Dauphin
county Jail. When committed in the
morning on charge of threatening to
do bodily harm to the family of Samuel
Zerfoss, in Hummelstown Benning
had belt or strap around his waist
This he used to accomplish his end.
The strap was fastened to the grated
cell door and then to his neck, when
he threw himself back and succeeded
in stIangling. He had been dead over
an hour when found. The impression
is that he was insane when put in his
cell few hours previous. He talked
incoherently. Nothing was found on
his person to indicate where he was
from. A verdict of suicide was rem
dered.

Wiliiamsport G. & B.


Trout Run, Aug. 2l.-On Friday
evening, the 18th instant, our town
was thrown into considerable excite
ment over the arrest of G. II. McClarin,
of your city, charged with shooting at
a young lady, Miss Mullen. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. McClarin, while driv-
ing from Pensdale, stopped little
distance above Trout Run and fired
into an old slab fence, having no
reason to think that there was any
body within danger bounds, and never
thinking that there could be a living
place, nor did he know any different
until reading the warrant charged
with shooting at the allowed named
lady. Mr.. McClarin, when asked
what he had to say, said it was very
plain case of blackmailing, and spot
ted the very individual who was the
instigator of the whole affair. Mr.
McClarin, with his honest face, good
Judgment and oratorical abilities, al
though almost an entire stranger, sue
ceeded in establishing the fact and
convincing all who were present that
it was nothing but a contemplate
scheme of certain citizen. Mr.. Nc
Clarin made very favorable impress
sion on all, especially on Miss Mullen,
and says she is lady in every sense
of the word, and that she displayed an
unusual amount of good common
sense, besides having a very sociaI
chat with her. Nor does he blame
Mr.. Mullen. By the occurrence Mr.
McClarin has made scores of friends
while on the other hand the noted de-
tective (of whose abilities Pinkertor
should be informed at once) who bao
not surplus of friends, has now still

an empty treasury and no office-hol-
ders to assess, by virtue of its princi-
Piles, overcame a political organization
which had long been entrenched in
power and enriched by the spoils of
office. 1t Is confession that it is not
bent on great public good, and can
not commend itself to the unpurchas-
able voters of the Comm on wealth,
when the chief reliance of the party
for success against an adversary that
lacks this pecuniary aid, is upon cor
ruption fund derived from extorted
assessments. General Beaver actually
admitted in q recent speech that he
would mortgage his farm for $4,000
if he could but get out of the Cub
ernatorial candidacy. He must have
said this in moment of dependency.
He must have forgotten that he made
exhaustive efforts in three successive
conventions to secure what was finally
conferred upon him through the grace
and favor of Senator Cameron. Twice
before he went to the Harrisburg Con-
vention, and like the servant in the
parable who was sen to gather the
fruit of the vineyard from the hus-
bandman, he was caught, and beaten,
and sent away empty. General Beaver
under took to disclaim Mr.. Cameron's
instrumentality in his nomination by
reducing his stature. He told the peo.
pie of Bristol that Cameron was 0
small man, but for fear of misaprehen
sion he explained next day that Cam.
eron was a small man physically. This
was serious mistake. Instead o
being a small Cameron, he is physi
caIly large enough to bestride thu
Commonwealth like a Colossus, Will,
General Beaver and his other depeD
dents peer around under his legs to ge
a generous smile of recognition. II
my judgment he is smaller in intellec
than in stature Selected out of fou
millions of people to represent then
in the Senate he has two qualifications
age and citizenship.

A Wife Murderer Hanged.
lie ASKS TO BE ALLOWED TO HELP
ERECT HIS OWN GALLONS.

ERECT HIS OWN GALLONS.
Aiken, S. c., Aug, 25.-Robert Par
ker, who killed his wife by poisoning
her with strychnine on the Odd of last
December, was executed here to-day.
The evidence leading to his conviction
was entirely circumstantial, but con-
elusive. He was ably defended in the
trial last June, but the jury, after an
absence of only few minutes, returned
a verdict of guilty. Efforts were made
to induce the Governor to commute
the sentence, but without avail. Par
ker grew sullen in his demeanor during
his imprisonment, and declined 10
talk about the crime. When the work
of constructing the gallows was begun
he asked for permission to assist in its
erection, which was, of course, refused.
His object, it was supposed, was to as
sault the jailor, and if possible, effect
his escape. He slept well last night:
The parting with his mother and
other relatives just prior to the execu-
ton was very affecting. He main
tanned his innocence to the last. He
was perfectly calm, and took his posi-
ton under the moose, standing firmly
The drop fell at l.03 p. NJ, and In
thirteen minutes he was pronounced
dead without a struggle.

Sullivan Knocks Wilson Out.
A LIVELY PUGILISTIC ENCOUNTER IN
WHICH THE LATTER Is HANDLED

WHICH THE LATTER Is HANDLED
WITHOUT GLOVES.
Philadelphia Press.
Sullivan and Wilson met by chance
at Fifth and Vine streets, and if there
was any question before as to the sup
erior ability of the former in pugilis-
tic encounter all doubts have now
been fully dispelled. 1t was not an
exhibition with gloves for any specific
purse but genuine set-to, and the ad-
mirable manner in which Sullivan
handled his opponent reflects credit on
that gentleman. 1t was an accidental
meeting, and the sporting fraternity
was not represented. Some words
passed between the men, but just what
was said is not known, and Wilson
attempted to resent what he considered
an insult by delivering sledge-ham-
mer blow at his opponent, which the
latter parried in a scientific manner.
The combatants then clinched, and
before Wilson got chance to play the
"drop game' he received considerable
punishment. There was no one to
call time, but Wilson quickly arose,
and, with all expression of anger on
his face, made savage lunge at Sulli-
van, which went wide of the mark
Again the contestants clinched, and q
hard struggle for supremacy ensued,
in which Sullivan again came off vic.
| torious, Wilson being sent to dust
| (there was no grass except that which
grew in the gutters). Round thirt
was of short duration, Wilson being
knocked out. Before the contes
could be renewed Fourth Distric
policeman appeard on the scene, anC
the vanquished Wilson was taker
before Magistrate Martin. The pris
oner gave the name of George Wilson
and was recognized as the man VIII
was arrested recently for acting in
suspicious manner around number o
houses at Fifth and Spruce streets, bu
was discharged because of lack O
evidence to show he was thief. Th
evidence offered yesterday was tina
he had been caught in the act of steal

A. Johnson, a boarder at the house G
