Accidentally Shot Dead.

JERSEY CITY, May IA Church
circles in Jersey City were thrown
into a state of excitement this after
noon when it became known that
Mr.. Stoddard, the wife of the Rev.
E. l.. Stoddard, the rector of St.
Johns Free Church, on Summit
Avenue, Jersey City Heights, had
accidentally killed herself. The story
as far as could be learned. was this:
Mrs. Stoddard was busy at her
house duties, She had a busting
broom with which, at the time Of
the accident, she was busting the
shelves of one of the closets in the
house. On one of the shelves lay IL
pistol, which was kept in the house
as a protection against thieves.
In a thoughtless moment she brush
ed the weapon off. As it fell, the
trigger struck a shelf below. The
weapon was exploded, and the ball,
striking her in the side of the head,
crashed through the skull and lodged
in the brain. The sharp crack of
the pistol summoned her husband
and servants to her aid. DR. Jas.
w. Wilkinson, the family physician
was sent for, but by the time he ar
rived the unfortunate lady was be-
yond all hope of recovery, and she
died a few minutes later.

HARRISBURG, May 19.-The date
of adjournment is June 9th, the Sen
ate concurring in the House resolu-
ton to that effect yesterday before
taking the usual Saturday recess.
The Senators on the Republican side
were unanimous for it and thirty-one
of the forty in the chamber voted for
adjournment. Senator Gordon
thought the resolution premature.
He considered it impossible to give
that consideration to the apportion-
ment, INSTRUMENTATION and inter-
mediate court bills which was their
due in the little time remaining, and
he urged that the resolution be in
definitely postponed. While hold
ing hat the general apportionment
bills had priority under the rules he
believed that the calendars were
freighted with some of the most i'm
portant bills of the session. Senator
Ross wanted no repairs at the end of
the session. THE hours and days
and weeks of the session that have
been idly wasted away r now rec
ognized as having been valuable.
There is no need to cultivate bum
combe by working without the limit
of days SET" Senator Hall, after re-
ferring to the resolution as unwise
and saying that it were better to
wait a few days, moved that further
consideration be postponed. The
Senate refused and then concurred
in the resolution.

So very certain are the people
on the other side of the river that
the Harrisburg and Western railroad

Bridgeport that they are holding

les to increase their expenditures per

clone swept across an area of about
six miles north of Connorsville, In

damage to the farms in its path, but

WASHINGTON, May IA short
time ago Mr.. Raum, as Commission
er of Internal Revenue, decided that
certain classes of bitters were not Ii
able to tax as whisky, and come in
under the head of proprietary medi-
cines. Since that decision Congress
removed the tax on such medicines.
1t is now the subject of dissatisfac-
ton to whisky dealers that this class
of proprietary medicines, the princi-
pal ingredients of which is whisky,
pay under the present law no tax
whatever, and the whisky dealers
are preparing to kick up about it.
They are entering protests and
threaten to carry q test case into the
courts. The source of their sorrow
seems to be that certain classes of
whisky bitters are sold in every bar
room in the country as a beverage,
and now that no tax is paid special
inducements are offered retailers OF
liquors, druggists and grocers to sell
bitters for which no license is re-
quired. This they say makes q boom
In bitters at the expense of the legit-
innate liquor trade.

IDIorIC

SCRANTON, May 16.-The small
town of Moosic, seven miles south
of Scranton, where the industries are
coal mining and powder menufsee
turing, recei5ed q terrible 1hakin&
up last night. by an explosion e.
several hundt ID pounds Of dynami1e'
and giant powder, which hadheen
placed in the blacksmith shop near
to the new shaft, which is beingsunk
by the Pennsylvania Coal Company
The work Of sinking the SHAFT vas
being carried on by two contractors
named Willhms, and three shifts
of eight men each were engaged on
the work. Six men of the, night
shift had entered upon the work and
the others, Charles Woods and one
of the contractors were in the engine
room preparing q charge for the
blast. The explosives had been
placed close 10 q stove and near by
was the blacksmiths's forge 10
Engineer James Laird had just
entered the building when Woods,
noticing flames in the blacksmith
room, rushed there to ascertain the
cause, but wss met by q terrific ex-
plosion, which tore the immediate
buildings into bits and hurled Woods
through the air upwards of one hun
dred yards, mincing him into mi
mute particles. Williams was
thrown about fifty feet, but other
than being stunned for q few
moments, escaped alive. Laird
was buried beneath the ruins, which
at once caught fire, and he was
rescued with great difficulty alive
and only suffering slight injuries
from fallingz timbers. Great alarm
was felt for the six men down the
shaft, who were completely cut off
from earth with no way of escape
except through the mouth of the
shaft, 20 feet above their heads,
about which was a roaring torrent Of
flames.
Great crowds, which had assem-
bled Immediately began to extin-
guish the flames, in which they soon
succeeded, and at once lowered ropes
to the imperilled men below, draw
ing them up in safety, amid the
shouts of the people, to the surface.
Several other workmen were on their
way to work when the explosion oc-
CURED, among whom were the black
helper and fireman, who, in a
few minutes more, would have been
in the midst of the ruined buildings.
There is general rejoicing that the
escape from Q serious fatality was 30
small. The force of the explosion
was experienced in Pittston and
West Pittston, several miles away.
where doors were forced ajar, and In
Moosic the destruction to windows
and crockery was general. Persons
were thrown from chairs upon which
they were sitting and there was great

one of the magazines at the powder
had blown up.

Journal has received reports in de-
tail from the ranching regions in
Colorado, Kansas, Texas, Nebraska,
idaho. Wyoming, Indian Territory,
Montana and Nevada, showing the
range cattle business to be in a very
thrifty condition. The percentage
of loss in all the states and terrific
ries ranges from l to 20 per cent. on
a general average of 25 per cent.
The greatest losses were rer orted by
Idaho, Indian Territory and Kansas.
Kansas is the only state that reports
an increase in shipments of beeves

is the same as in 1882. The shipment
of beeves will begin about the same

When American mechanics can

The Brooklyn Bridge.

New YORK, May 16.-Preparations
for the grand display of fire works
which is to succeed the opening of
the Brooklyn bridge, on May "a, are
being rapidly carried forward. 1t
has been determined to light up the
whole structure on the night of this
exhibition. The contractors for the
display say that it will be the finest
ever witnessed in this country, and
will be easily seen for ten miles. By
instruction of Trustee Stranahan
there will be no set pieces, as they
would look insignificant at such a
great height. The programme is TO
include dozens of new features in
fireworks. For an hour an a quar-
ter there will be a running fire of
rockets, bombs, and fountains of sill
yer and gold, rain flights of 500 and
600 rockets of every kind known
will 90 up at once from the middle
of the main spans and from the tops
of the towers. Some of the bombs
will be thrown 400 feet above the
towers. 4rfs 1

HARTFORD, Conn.,, May 1S.-The
steamer Granite State, which runs
between this city and New York, was
totally destroyed BY fire this morn
ing While approaching her dock at
Goodspeeds Landing, forty-ohe
miles below Hartford, on her way 20
this atty. She was coming into the
dock, when the FIRE broke out for
ward, and the flames spread so rap
idly that nothing was saved. Five
lives are known to have been lost,
four by burning and one by drown
ing. The drowned person was Mrs.
C. L. Maine, of New Haven, who,
with her husband, jumped over
board into the river. Her husband
reached the shore. An effort was
made 70 bring the steamer to the
dock, but the FIRE spread with such
rapidity that it was found impracti-
cable. Her stern wasswung in, how
ever, and most of the crew and pas
sengers jumped from the burning
steamer to the wharf, while some
jumped into the river and SWAN
ashore. II is not known how the
fire originated. The bodies Of all
the persona burned cannot be iden-
tilted. One body has been recog-
nizedg e. that of the second cook,
named Jackson. Of the persons
burned two are supposed to have
been emigrant passengers. Nine
horses were also burned, of which
the Adams Express Company own
ed one. The cargo, which was most.
ly billed to this city is a total loss.
The steamers hull has Aoated down
the river about half a mile below the
landing. Nothing is visible above
the water but her gallows frame and
walking-beam. The Granite State
was owned in this city by the Hart
ford and New York transportation
Company. She cost the company
originally s35, 600, but has since been
thoroughly overhauled and repaired
at a cost Of $4,000. The body Of
Mrs. C. L. Maine, of New Haven,
was recovered. She was on her
bridal trip, and sprang overheard
with her husband. They sank three
times, her husband became entang-
led in the paddle wheel and was
saved. 1t is now thought that Mrs.
Maine and the second cook, named
jackson, a colored man, were the
only persons drowned. There are
two deck passengers still unaccount-
ed. for, however.

DURING the month last past there
arrived in this country owe seventy
eight thousand e~migrants, and the
indications are that the immlgra-
ton during the coming summer
will be largely in excess OF
former years. Vast as this country
is, it must rapidly fill up at this rate,
and it is getting to be aserious ques-
ton whether there should not be q
stop put to promiscuous immigra-
ton. While welcoming all such who
are apt to become good citizens,
would it not be as well to close the
doors and prevent all Europe from
making a garbage heap of our shores
on which to dump their paupers and
criminals.
