CHAMBERsBURG. Pa, April IL
Two tramps, whose names are sup
posed to be Shoot and Barton, called
at the farm house of David Long,
residing about a mile south of Cham
bersburg, about 4'oclock this after
noon and demanded something TO
eat. AS they were both intoxicated
Mr.. Long refused to give them any
thing. School, with an oath, de-
clared he would have it il he had to
fight for it and pushed into the
kitchen. After several unsuccessful
efforts to get School out of the room
Long went into an adjoining room
and procured a revolver, when on
returning to the kitchen School drew
his coat and struck several times at
Long. Long told him to leave or he
would shoot, but School persisted
in, as he said, fighting it out. Mr..
Long then fred the first shot, strik-
ing Barton, who was standing on
The porch, in the arm. Long then
fired the second shot, it taking
effect in Schools left side and passing
into the abdominal cavity. School
ran to the porch and fell and Barton
fled. Word was sent to town for
officers, who arrested Barton and
brought him and School to town,
where medical aid was rendered.
Barton has been sent to Jail for treat
ment and School is lying in a preca-
rious condition at a boarding house.
There are no hopes of his recovery
and his death is expected at any
time. The shirt which School wears
bears the name of "H. Frantz." He
was unable to give his name, and
the names which we give were re-
ceived from a fellow tramp who had
been with them to-day. Mr.. Long
was arrested and is in Jail. His
counsel will bring him in to court
tomorrow on a writ of habeas cor
puS.

J. Gilmore, of this place, was yester-
day nominated by the Democratic
County Committee for Dukes vacant

never been specially prominent in
politics, and has never been identifi-
ed with either of the Democratic
factions in Fayette county. He is a
civil engineer by profession.
Hill had opened expensive head
quarters at the hotel, but the anti
Searight forces were too strong for
him. The full committee of forty
was present, and the point was to
combine the opposition against him
and his fifteen votes. On the first
ballot he had but s, however, Thorn
as Hezen Z and Gilmore 6, and the
Boyle men. after the second ballot,
picked on the latter as the strongest
and added to him right along. The
votes were, 6, 6, 8, IL, 10, IS, q, the
last ballot nominating, while Hill
fell back from II to Is. A PROPOSE
ton to assess each of the candidates
ten dollars was rejected before the
b~alloting commenced.

WEsrMINIsrER, April 10.-The
most disastrous fire ever known in
this city occurred last night, origi-
mating in Jacob Thompson's livery
stable, in which Bob Thompson and
Aaron Shaeffer, employees, were
burned to death, also thirteen head
of horses. Sixteen dwellings and
stores were burned. including the
Lutheran church. Loss, $4,000
The fire cleared the whole square,
from Bond to Carroll street. Two
chemical and steam engines arrived
at 3:45 from Baltimore, but the fire
was under control and they were moi
used. The fire started at 11:30 last
Eight and was under control at 8
this morning.
The fire was extinguished by rain
which fell steadily for several hours
Nearly all the occupants of the burn
ed buildings saved the bulk of theil
property.
Four colored men, John Clark, C
War6eld, Robert Goodwin and Han.
son Dorsey, have been arrested fol
setting fire to the stable, and will
have a hearing tomorrow morning
1t is said while engaged in a game
of cards they set the place on fire
whether accidentally or not, is not
known. The belief is gaining ground
that it was Intentional, as otherwise
they could easily have extinguished
it. The coroner's jury tonight, in.
quiring into the cause of the death o.
Thompson and Shaeffer, rendered a
verdict that the stable was fired
through gross negligence and reck.
less disregard of life and property by
the parties under arrest.

Yesterday afternoon, carrying down
the engine house and also eight
men, as follows: Patrick Egan, Rich

William Pollard. Up to eight o'clock
last night only one man, Wicks, had
been rescued and he was fatally in
jured. These men were on the sur
face. None we're at work in the
mine. The mine is located two miles
west of Quinnesee. The cave-in en-
braced a space seventy-ive by fifty
feet and, besides the men engulfed,
took in all the mining machinery,
including four large boilers falling a
distance of 100 or 200 feet. At the
present writing it is believed that
the lives of all the men were lost,
and it is estimated that the recovery
of the bodies will require a week or

Our Democratic Reform" Legis-
lature, which came into power with
such profuse professions and prom
Uses, has now been in session for
more than an hundred days, and
has proven to the public that it can
gable more and accomplish less
than any of its predecessors. Dur
ing these hundred days, for which
each member will draw his salary of
one thousand dollars, only twelve
bills have finally passed both Hous-
es. Out of these twelve, five have
been vetoed by our Reform" Gov
ernor, and of those which have been
graciously permitted to become laws,
but one-an act abolishing the Of
flee of sealers of weights and meas
ures-is of general interest. The
people are beginning to ask what is
reform? And what is the use of a
reform" Legislature that will not
take its instructions in advance from
the Reform" Governor?
This cropping in the dark after
Reform" is proving to be a most
expensive luxury, and Judging from
results, our model Legislators do not
recognize the genuine article when
they come across it. Why not? and
we make the suggestion with becom-
ing diffidence-follow the device OF
patent medicine compounders, and
conspicuously label the article
none genuine unless bearing the
signature of R. E. Pattison, the orig
inal discoverer." This would save a
vast deal of time, and labor, and
money; the diligent searcher after
the genuine article would feel safe
in swallowing it when found, and,
moreover, be saved the risk of per,
sonal modification on discovering
that what they had taken for the
pure article, was on examination,
pronounced a spurious compound,
by the great and infallible Doctor
Pattison.
How much longer this Legislature
will remain in session, is a matter OF
the widest conjecture, but as indi-
eating It's probable ending. we note
that a proposition to adjourn on the
first day of june has been made.
Meanwhile, nearly seven hundred
bills are still on the calander, and
the really important measures, such
as the apportionment bills, the pro,
hibitioH amendment and numerous
appropriation bills, are in . state OF
suspended animation.
Let the people possess their souls in
patience; We are only tasting again
the fruits of Democratic professions,
and proving the truth Of the adage
thai Hell is paved with good inten'
tions!-

FEARFULLY and wonderfully con-
structed were the arguments made
by the Democratic statesmen at
Harrisburg last week, to show that,
when the Constitution says: The
Senatorial ratio shall be ascertained
by dividing the whole population of
the State by the number fifty" that
it didn't mean what it says. How
our old friend Judge Black in ante
bellum days used to ding into our
ears the doctrine that, true salvation
was attainable only through a
sstrict construction of the Constitu-
ton, and 10 all hope of a happy flu
ture is thus wrecked by a well oiled
machine" in the hands of his par
tisans.

Board of Agriculture offers liberal
premiums for the greatest number
of trees planted during the month OF
April, 1888, by any one person and
for the greatest number planted or

A Big Railroad Loan.

BALTIMORE, April 12-The B. &
O. r. r. Co. has filed for record in
the Supreme Court of this city n
mortgage deed to secure the pay
Iment Of s12,000,00O worth of bonds
to be issued shortly to defray the
cost OF the construction and equip
ment of its new line between Balti-
more and Philadelphia The com.
pany's intention to build this road
has been known since the spring OF
1881, when Vice President Robert
Garrett made an unsuccessful at
tempt to secure a controlling inter-
est in the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad, thereby
leading to the purchase of that road
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. For over a year two corps OF
engineers have been engaged in sur
veying lines through this State and
Pennsylvania, and the right OF way
has now been obtained under the
sanction of acts of the Legislature OF
Maryland, Delaware and Pennsyl-
vania. The mortgage is made to w.
F. Burns, John Gregg and I. Harri-
son Garrett and was executed on the
ID of April in accordance with a res
olution passed by the B. & o. Di-
rectors on March 18th last, ordering
the issuing of bonds to build the
road to the amount of two million
four hundred thousand pounds ster.
ling. The bonds have been issued
by the railroad company to Brown,
Shipley & Co., of London, England.
They are for two hundred pounds
sterling each, dated April I'd and
bear interest at four and a half per
cent.

Goes TO Prison.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Stillwell

Western District of Texas, who was
recently tried and convicted upon a
charge OF presenting false expense
accounts, was to-day sentenced by
Judge Turner, at San Antonio, Tex.
as, to imprisonment for two years
in the penitentiary at Chester, Ill.
Russell was appointed by President
Hayes and made application to
President Arthur for reappointment,
but charges of misconduct in office
were preferred against him and an
investigation was ordered by the
Attorney General. This ~investiga-
ton ended in his arrest, trial and
conviction. 1t is estimated that dur
ing the time of Lis service as Mar
shal, Russell defrauded the Govern
ment out of at least $4,000. His
official bond, however, is good and
the Department of Justice expects to
recover the entire sum from his sure
ties.

Rioting Rolling Mill Men.

SPRINGFIELD, April 12.-The stu
alton at the rolling mill is becoming
very serious. The mill has been
filing up with non-union men quite
rapidly of late and members of the
Amalgamated Association seem to
be getting desperate, and assaults on
mel, who have taken the places of
strikers are of daily occurrence
Several OF them have been badly
beaten. To-day a party of two or
three who left the mill for q walk
into the country we're followed by a
gang OF strikers. and when about tive
miles distant were beaten and thrown
off of the bridge. Two of the num-
Der have not returned and are said
to be very seriously injured. Two
or three physicians left tonight to
attend them, but became alarmed
and returned before reaching the
spot. The browning infamy in a
series of outrages heaped upon work.
was perpetrated tonight.
A party of them were leaving the
mill about half past seven o'clock
and soon after getting outside the
enclosure a gang of strikers opened
fire upon them with rifles, ~shotguns
and pistols. 1t is said scarcely less
than fifty shots were fired. John
Waldron, a young man recently ar
rived from Pittsburgh. fell dead. 1t
afterward appeared that thirty-four
buck shots entered his side, breast,
throat and face. Brainard Null
kurn was shot in the chest and
arm. His wound is serious, but it
thought he will survive. Sam Brit
tin received a slight wound in the
hip. Great excitement prevails. No
arrests have as yet BEEN made. The
murderers are unknown AS they fired
from ambush. The workingmen are
unawed and express a determination
to run the mill.

Ninety-two Shot Holes, but Unhurt.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 10
Captain William Clark, a revenue
officer, left Fayetteville, Tenn, about
dark yesterday evening in the direc-
ton Of Huntsville. After he had
travelled a short distance along the
road he was hailed by parties con-
cealed in bushes. He stopped, when
Immediately nine guns were dischar-
ged at him. The report caused his
horse to suddenly wheel around,
throwing Clark to the ground and
injuring him severely. He arose and
emptied the contents of a double
barreled shotgun at the assassins,
who fled. Ninety-two holes were
made through his clothing by shot,
but fortunately none struck him.
Clark offers $500 reward for the
capture and conviction of the assas-
sins.

Live Stock Poisoned.

AWHILE, April 10.-A startling
discovery has been made on the
farm of Rudolph Graybill, two miles
from here. Mr. Graybill lost inside
of twenty-four hours six valuable
cows, a thoroughbred bull, a young
colt and a calf. Paris green was
found mixed with their feed. The
poor cattle were much swollen after
death. Some were opened and found
to have been poisoned. There is no
doubt but that some malicious stran-
ger Intentionally mixed the poison
with the food. Mr.. Graybill used
Pasis green last year for his potatoes
and the spoonful he had left was
kept in the house and it still there.
The poison was undoubtedly carried
to the barn and secretly mixed in
the food by some unknown enemy
anxious for, revenge.

THE professions of some of our

good church people chopped a hole

much interest and was attended by

Found Murdered.

DENVER, April 1.-THE body of
Fred Wagner, brother of the late
Senator Wagner, a native of New
York, and for whom an extended
search ives made last fall, was found
by emigrants last Sunday on the
bank of a creek eight miles from
Powers station, on the Santa Fe
Railroad. The body was terribly
disfigured. Considerable money
was found scattered about it, also a
plain gold ring inscribed, "A. B. to
F. W., February 1, 1884," and a bus
mess card marked Frederick Wag-
ner, successor to ]. Bumiller, New
York" A bullet hole in the back
of the neck proved conclusively that
Wagner was murdered for the large
amount of money he was supposed
to carry about his person.

red in this section is devastating the
country a few miles north of this
city. Mrs. Dalton, a farmers wife,
