SERGEANT MASON.
Pardoned by the President-He Will
spend Thanksgiving with .sBetty and
the BABY"

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. N.-President Arthur's
pardon of Sergeant Mason reached the peni-
tentiary by mail yesterday and was at once
shown to Mason, who had not before been no.
titled of his reprieve. For a moment he
could scarcely credit the purport OF the docu-
ment. he was at once released and attired in
a new suit of clothas and soft hat, the gift of
the evening took the train on the way to
"Betty and the BaDy" and his home at Locust
Grove, Va. To a correspondent he said: "It is
tc the press, after all, that I sm in great
measure indebted for my pardon. / have had
a friend in the press from the beginning. 1t is
now 20 months and 10 days since was brought
here, and during that time, when / thought of
the long sentence over my head, would often
begin to lose hope that my release would come
before the expiration of the term, and used TO
think of its injustice. What had / done?
had been sent TO guard from mob an assas-
sin who had murdered our President. What
would any man have done who felt as did
under the circumstances? Why, / believe ne
would have done just as / did"
Mason has always been a soldier. When vet
in his teens he enlisted in the Seventy fifth
Ohio Regiment, and saw active service. He
was in the battle of Shiloh in 1862 He con-
tinued in the regular army after the close of
the war, and had just been transferred from
Fort McA5bott, in Texas, when he was as
signed to the duty of guarding Guiteau. Mason
is VirgInisn by birth, and will be 40 years
old next May. When he first came to the
peniteDtary he was in poor health, which he
attributed TO the rigors of prison life in Wash
iDgton before and during his trial. His heath

Soiourner Truth.

Sojourner Truth, the well-known colored
lecturer, died at Battle Creek, Mich, Monday,
aged 10S years. For almost three-qusrters Of .
century she delivered lectures from the east TO
the west upon temperance, politics, and the
woman's rights question. She was born
slave in the State of New York, and spent the
earliest part of her life-until 1877, when slav-
cry was abolished in that State-in bard work
in the fields OF her many masters. Her parents
were brought from the ooas, of Guinea, aud
sold as slaves on arriving in the United States.
Her real name-or that which had been given
her by her first master-was Isabella Harden
burg, but, becoming dissatisfied with IL, 1t is
said that she went into wilderness and
prayed to the Lord to give her an appropriate
name. After praying for some hours she
heard, she said, the name "Soioumer" whis-
pered to her, as she was to travel "up and
dowp," aud afterward Truth" was added to
IL to signify that she should preach nothing
but truth to all men. Sojourner had q tall,
mascuhne-looking dgure-she was almost six
feet high aud talked in deep, cultural, pow
erful voice that made many people who heard
her think that she was man, and was impoe-
ing on them by masqueradinR as woman.
Upon one occasion, while she was preaching to
an audience, doubts as to her sex were freely
expressed, and she satisfied them that she was
a woman. She could neither read nor write,
but on her lecturing tours took with her her
grandson, who attended to her business
affsirs. Soiourner knew many promiuent
member favorite statesman was Abraham
Lincon-and her narratives and descriptions
of those whom she had known showed that she
had judged their characters exceedingly well.
During her later life. or for the past 10 years,
her avowed object in travelling around was TO
obtain names to petition which sne intended
presentin = tn the government, asking that a
portion OF the public lands in the west be set
apart for the establishment OF a negro colony,
where she proposed that the negro youth
should be educated. So1ourner undoubtedly
Ala a great deal of good work during her life
time, for she was Instrumental in reclsiminR
hundreds OF men and women from bad liGe,
and by her own life set a splendid example to
the colored population.

A FLORIDA INCIDENT.
A Labering Mans Chances i'm the Land
of Oranges-One of the Customs of the
Country.


JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. %, 1883.
To the Editor of the Press:
1 find in my walks and talks In Florida,
very few items of news that would interest the
general public in far off Maine, and 1 could
never recommend Florida to Maine man who
depended on his labor for livelihood. Wages
are low and the chances Few to obtain even
that; and only in winter can Northern man
expect to work out OF doors and be we'll. The
sun looks down too compacently for the ordi-
nary Northerner in summer. But there are
many men to be met here who have not only
gained health but wealth in this climate.
The average citizen of Maine might, think
learn some things from the poor of Florida.
For instance an acquaintance of mine was re-
Gently prosecuted for stealing pig from dar-
key, and brought before trial justice and II

vailiRg custom is said to be, to render ver-
dict against the man who can pay the costs.

While the young New Jerseyman was congrat-
ulating himself on bis good luck, the marshal
stepped up to him and said: "Sir, do you not
know it is customary for the lucky man to
treat the iurg?' or course the jury were in
vited in to the bar, after which ceremony
never saw set of II wise men look more salts
fed with verdict just rendered by them than
these did. This all came under my personal
observation and confess it showed me Lew
phase of the law, and doubt not, that in time
ii our prohibitory law could only be success
fully removed, We might have similar justice
in our petty courts in good old Maine.

and then turned in and slept until A
o'clock the next morning. When / went
on deck could see nothing of the Eclipse
and realized that was cast adrift alone on
Lake Huron and a fearful gale was raging.
After while heard steamer whistle several
times. then saw nor heard more. About
p. m. the barge went ashore on the beach of
Little Pike Bay. Seven men were on the
Eclipse-Wm. Bush of Sarnia, captain of the
barge Eta; James Moore of Thessalone, eng-
neer OF the Eclipse, and three others whose
names are unknown. The bodies of the two
latter have been washed ashore.

PEACE REIGNs.
The Gas Well Fightat am End-Arrest Oi
Portion of the Party.


PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 27.-Comparative
qaiet is reported this morning, at Murraysville,
Pa, the scene of the fatal riot yesterday. The
successful invading forces of Milton Weston,
the Chicago capitalist, surrendered to the sher-
ifs as soon as they discovered that they were
officers. But at O'Clock this morning, four
teen out of the thirty prisoners escaped. War
rants have been issued for the arrest of the
whole Weston party, including Milton Wes-
ton, DR. J l.. Crawford, Albert Bowser, Col.
Blakeley, and E. tienry Rameey, all promi-
nent persous. Informations have been made
against them for murder. An inquest is now
ln progress. The prisoners will be taken this
afternoon to Greenburg for hearing. A
strong guard will be mustered, and there will
be no opportunity either for rescue or for a suc-
cessful attack by sympathizers OF the dead or
wounded men. Besides 0. Y. Haymaker, who
was instantly killed during the fight yesterday,
another was probably fatally injured and three
seriously.
A despatch from Murraysvllle says this
morning fifteen armed men belonging to The
Weston force, arrived, and are now on the
ground, bat have not attempted any violence.
Fourteen of Weston's men, who participated
in the riot yesterday and were afterwS rds ar
rested by the sheriff, were taken to Green's
burg, where they will be given hearing this
afternoon. Bowser is charged with murder,
the others with riot and feloDious assault
Everything is now quiet at the disputed point,
and the claimants have been notified to keep
off the grounds by the sheriff. The feeling is
intense, and favors the Pennsylvania Fuel Co.
The inquest at Murraysville was concluded
this evening, and the testimony ELECTED proved
that the attack on Haymaker was most brutal
and unprovJked. 1t was shown that Bowser
killed Haymaker and also gave the order to
fire, and that the Haymaker party were un-
armed and acted entirely ON the defensive The
verdict sendered charges Bowser with murder
and the others with felonious assault with i'm
tent to kill.
preliminary hearing was given the Is per-
sons at Greensburg, after which they we're
lodged in jail to await trial. The leaders, Mil
ton Weston of Chicago VIM. Mecklin of
Greensburg, james Johnston OF Pittsburg, DR..
Crawford of GIeensburg, all prominent men,
ara charged with murder, and will not be ad-
mitted to bail. The wounded are doing well,
except Heifner, who will probably die. The
post mortem examination of Haymaker's re-
mains showed II bayonet and bullet wounds,
and any one of four of the bayonet wounds
would have been fatal.

Electric Discharges.

Earthquakes ON the Hsthmus-volcanees
Breaking Out-The Air Brilliant with
Electric Discharges.
New York, Nov. 27-Panama advices by
mail, dated 17th inst, state slight earthquakes
were felt all over the Isthmus on the 18th. Oct.
25th and 28th sharp shocks were felt at all the
villages in the Darien. They were accompa-
MED by loud detonations similar to those heard
in the same districts at the time of the Java
earthquakes in August last. These districts
are in the same parallel OF latitude, and not
far distant from the Leon and Sncco region, in
which a number Of mud volcanoes have sprung
into existence and of which Mr.. /. e. White
gives the following description:
When the earthquakes, which were widely
fslt in the interior, took place on the 8th OF
last March, several volcanoes sprang into ex-
istence in the territory bounded by the Leon
and Sncco rivers, in the State of Antioquia,
aud although their large size aud numbers are
unknown, report says they extend to the shore
of the Gulf of DarieD. The entire absence OF
roads or paths, the destruction of the village
of Bujios on the river, coDfisgration at Pava-
rando, and the total abandonment of the track
leading to that village, have combined to pre-
vent any one passing that way, and thus ac-
quiring some certain knowledge respecting
these volcanoes. Between Pavarando, which
is in Antioqnis, and the river Leon, there are
places which continually eject great quantities
of hot water aud mud, which, spreading over
wide area, have obstructea the river Leon.
Throughout the district referred to the air is
surcbarged with electricity, and the most bril-
liant discharges are observable every night.
In the State of Bolivar, near Turbaco, a
number of these volcanic eruptions have long
been in activity, but they are few in number
and weak in force as compared with those
which have now burst forth, and which, to
judge from the data so far obtained, are scat
tered over an area of about $50 square leagues,
which fortunately are almost entirely uninhab-
ed. The districts in which these seismic move
ments have taken place are situated between
the seventh and eigh b parallels of latitude; in
fact, the river Leon runs into the Gulf OF Da-
rien, almost on the eighth parallel. Panama
is situated ia the ninth, so while the difference
in longitude is only about two degrees, the dis
tance between Panama and the locality Of
these remarkable phenomena is not very great.
