ST.. MARTINS, December 25th 1ss2

JUST before the adjournment of the
Legislature on Wednesday of last week
until last Tuesday, to enable the Speak
ers OF the Senate and House to appoint
the standing committees, a resolution
was offered in the House by member
from Philadelphia, and unanimously
adopted, declaring First, that the
session Of 1888 should be distinguished
by close and constant application to
the business for which thel members
have been chosen by the people. Sec
ond, by strict construction of the or
ganic laws Of the State. Third, by A
suppression Of all useless Offices and a
reduction Of the expenses Of the House
so far as compatible with the public in
terests and, fourth. by an early ad-
iournment." If these avowed purposes
are carried out there is a fair prospect
that the session will not greatly. if at
all, exceed one hundred DAYS, and hum
dred thousand dollars will be saved to
the public treasury. 1t is not prudent.
, with past experience as our guide. to
. place too much Ieliances upon such
fair promises. They are easily made and
likely to be as easily broken, and we
simply put them on record now so that
when the session is brought to a close
our readers will be able to Judge tor
themselves whether or not the perform
ance has comesup to the Understanding
Lone Of The manifesto.

THE Senate Of the United States will
vote on the Fitz John Porter bill at
O'Clock on this Thursday afternoon,
in accordance with the unanimous
agreement to that effect entered into
last week by the supporters and oppon-
that it will pass the Senate, but there are
so many important matters pending in
the house that it is not at all probable
vote on the bill will be reached in that
body during the six weeks that remain
of the present session, and that it will
have to go over until the new Congress
meets next December.

DOUBLE SUICIDE.-A Detroit telegram of
Monday last says: A double suicide was
com nitted in this city Saturday night or
Sunday, evidently with the coolest premedl-
tatiOn. A man named j. Edward Monlek
and wife were the parties to the shocking
transaction. He had been connected with
the customs department of Chatham, Ont
but was discharged few weeks since, and
came with ais wife to this city, where they
took board at the Franklin House.
Saturday evening their month old child
was given into the temporary charge Of a
lady connected with the hotel to take care of
for moment. He then locked his wife into
her room and went away. The lady finally
getting tired OF her charge, sought about
midnight TO return the child to its mother,
but was unable to get into her room. En-
trance was finally secured by means of KEY,
when Mrs. MOnick was found dead In bed,
with every evidence that she had died from
morphine administered by her own hand or
that of her husband. The same evening
Monick went to the Brunswick House, regis
tered under an assumed name, and telling
the clerk he would not want breakfast went
to the room assigned him. Here he was
found yesterday afternoon in an unconscious
condition from the effects Of dose of NOR
phiae and died later in the evening, all
efforts to restore him to conciOusness proving
unavailinR.
Both of them were under thirty, and had
parents and other relatives living at Chat
ham. 1t is supposed that dependency over
the discharge from his position and failure
of all efforts at restoration drove the pair to
the commission of the crime. Next to moth
ing Ia known of.their previous hlstoryior any
other cause to which the shocking event can
be attributed Relatives have already taken
the bodies back to Chatham.

No MAN in this country ever before
had the Presidential itch to such an
alarming extent as ex-U. S. Senator
Mcdonald, of Indiana, is now suffering
and from which there is no hope of his
recovery until after the meeting Of the
next Democratic National Convention,
in 1884. He is an able man, with a
good public record, and is exceedingly
popular in his own State, but if he ever
stood any chance of being nominated his
unseemly and overweenings anxiety in
his own behalf, as recently manifested
on more than one occasion, has effectu-
ally destroyed it. 1t is a painful spec
tacle to see man engaging personally
andFpublicly in a movement having for
its aim his nomination for the high and
responsible Office of President. The peo-
pie will then turn away from the sight
with utter disgust, as they have done on
several memorable attempts at the same
game that the Indiana ex-senator is now
playing. 1t is not pleasant reading to
learn from an Indianapolis dispatch
dated on Friday last, that at gathering
of Democratic editors and politicians,
which took place in that city on the'pre-
vlous night, and at which Mr.. McDon-
aid was formally nominated for the
nominated for the Presidency, be him
self was present and made a speech in
which he accepted the nomination. The
past political history of this country
shows that is a very easy matter to over
do the business of bolstering up the
candidacy of any particular individual
for the Presidency, and especially so if
the proposed candidate himself lends his
open personal efforts to the project. I'm
less we are terribly mistaken, the Indi-
ana Claimant will signally fail in the
task he has undertaken, and will be a
much wiser man after the next Demo-
cratic National convention adjourns
than he was in Indiana at the meeting
week ago last night.

THE learned commentator, upon whom
the Bellefonte WdtokDean depends for such
matters, explains that slight error in the
Hebrew translation has led to the apparent
great disparity in the ages OF the patriarchs
and the moderns. In reading concrete num-
oers the Hebrews gave the large number
nrst consequently when the translation
reads And all the days that Adam lived
were $50 years, and he died |" the true read
ing OF the rule would be, ''and all the days
OF Adam, which he lived, were hundred
Years. and thirty and nine years, and he
died." making the entire age of Adam Is9
years instead of $50 years. BY the sams ex-
planation the reported ages OF others are re-
duced, Seth's from 912 to 121; Enos's from
935 to ia Gains from go to 1I9; Enoch's
from 365 TO ia 4; Methusaleh's from 969 to
124, and Noah's from $50 to 169-avera ging
about l70 in accordance with Genesis, vi.
"And the Lord said, Ny spirit shall not al
ways strive with man, for that be is also
aesh yet his days shall be hundred and
twenty years" This was the regular good
old age Of men, with special variations, both
before and for some time after the days of
a Abrsham.

WHETHER OR NOT the Court House
in New Bloomfield, Perry county, Is
nearer the Court House in Carlisle than
the Court House in Harrisburg is, seems
TO have become an important question
in the contested election case between
Bossler. Rep, and Wagner, DEM, in
the Cumberland and Adams Senatorial
district. Both candidates reside IN
Cumberland county, BosSler having
amassed a fortune as government con-
tractor in supplying beef to the Indians
i'm Dakota and other western territories.
Wagner was elected by small major
ity and now occupies his seat IN the
State Senate. A few weeks ago Bossler
began proceedings in the Cumberland
county court at Carlisle before Judge
Herman, who is Democrat and a near
relative of Bossler and for that reason
declined to hear the case. His duties
then devolved by law upon the nearest
President Judge, aHd that is the bone
of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES claiming that the
two judges in Harrisburg, s.Simonton
and Mcpherson, both Republicans, are
nearer .han Judge Barnett, of Perry
county, who is a Democrat. Bossler, at
his own expense, has had the distance
chained from Carlisle to the Perry cOun-
ty Court House, and the surveyor re-
ports it to be Is miles and II rods, 60
ing by way of Sterrett's Gap; but Wag-
ner's attorneys claim that the distance
is one mile shorter by Craine's Gap.
On the other hand, it has been found
by actual survey that the distance from
Judge McPherson's residence in Har-
risburg to the Carlisle Court House is
II miles and 263 rods. A literal con.
struction Of the act of Assembly of 1874
would seem to require a measurement
on an air line. The case was adjourned
by the court from yesterday week until
yesterday, in order to have some more
surveying done-presumably the dis
tance from Carlisle to New Bloomfield
by the Craine Gap route. When each
party to an election contest is afraid 10
trust his case to the decision of a Judge
unless he belongs to his own party, It
shows that there is something especial

Watres is a warm friend OF Delaney and

NARROW ESCAPE FRoh DEATH.-When
the regular train which left Rat Portage yes
tsrday morning was nearing the bridge over
the Winnepeg River the driver notiesd a san
walking on the structure. The train ap-
preached tbs bridge by curve, so that the
man could not see his danger. The bridge
is too narIew to permit of = person stan ling
on one side until a train should pass, and 1t
was Impossible FOR him 20 reach the other
side before the train would Oyertake him.
To jump from the bridge was certain death
The only course open was to clutch the outer
board, and. suspended between life and
death, await the result. This the man did,
and the train, which could not be stopped,
came laundering on. The conductor, recol-
lecting that the steps OF the Pullman car
were very low and would probably strike the
mans bead, rushed to the rear OF the train
and nncoupled the car, which, by the prompt
application Of brakes, was stopped IN time.
The man pulled himself up and reached the
other end of the bridge.
At this instanta freight train was observed
backing around the curve, and there stood
the Pullman car in the middle Of the bridge,
hlled with the terrified passengers, fer the
front of the train had gone off. The engine
OF the freight train was attached to the rear
eud, so thai it was impossible for the engl-
neer to see the Pullman car. To leave the
Pullman car was certain death. as the pas
sengers had no means OF escape, and not
withstanding the shouts of the train ofic lale
the freight train came laundering on. ltwas
q foIlorn hope, but it was the only one, and
quick as flash Conductor TrOdden, of the
passenger train, sgnaled the engineer, who
had gone off with the front part OF the train,
to back up. He saw the danger, but true to
his calling. reversed his engine and sped back
over the bridge on his mission OF mercy, lie

lever thrown backward and not an instant
too soon the Pullman car and its precious
load we're drawn from the threshold OF death.
Silently and with awed faces the passengers
rode to the city, each one realizing how close

to the freight train was also filled with pas

CURIOUS CoNJUGAL BARGAIN.--A bill In
equity filed yesterday by William r. HalseY
gives curious story of eonjugal bargain,
in which he came of second best. Mr.. Hal
sey was married at Linwood, Delaware
county, in April, 1877. His wife Rosanna
was buxOra country woman, with, as IL
proved, keen eye to the main chance. In
the spring OF 1881 Halsey started upon tour.
His wife remained behind to take care Of
their baby, Emma. Halsey had been travel
ing for about year when his journey was
unpleasantly interrupted at Little Rock, be-
ing put into prisOs for bigamy. He had gone
through the form Of marriage again in Texas
with g young woman whose name was I5a-
bella Peacock.
After Halsey had been in Jail for some time
he received a letter, he declared, from his
wife saying IF you will give me 500 a
month TO live of | will do all in my power to
free you and you may go" Halsey, who
had been made melancholy by his incarcera-
ton, jumped at this means of release. A
lawyer whom 1is wife had employed came
to his cell and procured an assignment of bis
income payable to him by the philadelphia
Trust Company, under the will of a deceased
relative. After he had obtained his release
rrem prison and recovered his composure he
found that he had signed more than he was
asked. He had not only given his wife q
hold on his income, but had Also In case of
her death, bound himself to contribute fifty
dollars month to the support of his child.
Mrs. HaiSey got divorce last November.
In bill in equity, filed yesterday Halsey
sets out the facts OF his conjugai negotiations
and asked that the assignment be declared
void. His wife, he AYERS, has declared that

A frightful boiler explosion occurred on
Tuesday at Ne 1 blast furnace, Bethlehem

of FIVE men and a woman, and in the serious
injuring OF several others. Ten boilers were
located over the engine house at an elevation
of 35 feet. Five of these were 40 inches in
were smaller and were used for heating pur-
poses. Two OF the largest boilers exploded
with terrific force, wrecking the enterior of
the engine house, and demollshing nearly
half the pattern shop, adjoining the engine
house. One boiler was carried through the
ventilators and broke through the roof of
