Turn the Rascals Out.

Turn the ra>cals OUT is the Democratic
cry. The report of the Comm ssioner of Inter
nal Revenue shows that during the fiscal wear
recently ended the entire collections of internal
revenue amounted to S144 .55B, 366. This was
collected by 1a6 collectors. at "a cost of only 5!
per cent. and turned over to the Government
without the loss of Il cent. More than this.
the report of Commissioner RI um showed that
in the preceding six years of Republican adj
ministration the enormous sulh of S-4S. S31. OIL
was collected and paid to the Government
without the loss of cent by ddfalcation.
Let US contrast with this statement. the
charges preferred by Govdfnor Hamilton
DEM of Maryland against the Democratic
officials of that State. He giyfs figures which
show an improper expenditure of State funds
by the three last Legislatures tb the amount of
5000 900: and he says that >inee 1879. in several
instances the taxes and tes of the State
have not been passed over by the collection Off
GERS; that hundreds of thous hnds of dollars
have been annually due from hem for wears
and that loo>eneS>, disorder and confusion
everywhere prevailed. The delinquent Off
GERS. many of them well-knd wn politicians,
now owe the state. according I'd the Governors
statement the sum of SI13, 73S.0e. He also
calls attention to many unnecd >>ary offices e.
tabished TO feed pap-loying DID mocrats. and to
large sums paid TO newspapers as rewards for
party services, under the guisd of advertising
the laws. Following closely hpon this state
ment comes the news that thd grand jury of
Baltimore has found Indictment against all the
members of the late board of fire commission

The SHAW FAILURE. ASSETS AND liable

The creditors of F. Shaw & Bros. met recently
at the Shoe and Leather Exchange, Boston.
Fayette Shaw, senior partner. made state
ment explaining the causes which led to the
firms embarrassment. When the failure of
the Pacific Bank occurred in 1881 several of
their large customers came to them and asked
for help. This was given and nothing asked
for in return. Meantime the volume of paper
which was then used to raise money for them
had become large and we found it affected our
single named paper. Finally. as mere tenn
porary emergency. as we supposed at the time.
we were obliged TO ask them for thsir paper
for our own use. The result has been that we
have had TO rely upon double name paper to
raise money. This paper aroused suspicion.
We continued until we saw clearly that If
these other houses could not take care of
themselves our house could 10 longer carry the
burden.
\ statement of the firms liabilities and assets
was then presented by the assignee. F. \.
Wyman. rs follows:

Triple Tragedy.

KANSAS City, Mo-, Nov. S-A fear
full tragedy was enacted to-day at the
farm house of H. Clay McGee, 10
miles south of the city. His chill
dren on returning home from school
this afternoon found the lifeless
bodies OF their father, mother and
older sister lying upon the floor.
McGee evidently had killed his
wife, shooting her in the breast with
a shotgun, shot his daughter in the
back, and then completed the horror
by going to an upper room and swal-
lowing dose of morphine. The
house being isolated the neighbors
were not aroused, and the bodies
consequently lay until discovered
by the children late in the day. The
immediate canse for the insane deed
is not known. McGee is described
as q man of violent temper, amount
ing almost to frenzy at times. He
was a prosperous farmer, having
come into the vicinity several years
ago from Kentucky, where it is said
he once killed man. There were
six children, some of them married.
Mary, the murdered daughter, was
20 years OF age. Another daughter,
the wife Of Mr. Hopkins, member Of
an old family here, was accidentally
shot and killed by her husband
some months ago. McGee was 45
or 30 years of age. McGee had for
some time borne an unsavory repu-
tation among his neighbors on ac-
count of his harsh treatment of his
family, and the tragedy today is
supposed to be the result OF the do.
mestic discord of long duration.

This Years Corn Crop.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. 12.-The
November report of the Department
of Agriculture gives the local yield
per acre. In October the final re-
port of the condition of corn, which
averages IS, was interpreted tomean
a product of close to 100000 bush
els. The average yield per acre ap-
pears to be % 1-10 bushels, l ! buch-
els per acre lower than the yield of
1882. This gives a result practically
identical with that of October. On
the acreage reported in July, 63, 800,
000,the exact figures would be ,577,-
100000 bushels. In the revision of
the seasons returns this result will
not be materially changed The
product will therefore be about 40
100000 bushels short of the previ
Gus crop, Notwithstanding the in
crease of area. The potato crop Is

A Frlghtful Fall.

New CASTLE, Pa, November g.
A trightful accident occurred at the
Neshannock Furnace in this city
this morning. which resulted in the
loss of one life and the serious and
perhaps fatal injury of two others.
James Eagan, Wm. Troy, Andrew
Mcbride and Martin Bullister were
at work putting the elbow on the
"downcomer" pipe, about seventy
eight feet above the ground, when
it started to rain. The four got down
onto "a board eight feet below, where
they had protection from the rain.
They were sitting on the board tell
ing stories, when the timber broke
ond the men fell distance of sew
enty eight feet. Eagan, young
man of twenty one years of age, was
instantly killed, and Troy and Nc
Bridge were seriously injured.
Bullister fell about twelve feet and
caught hold of a cross beam and
thus saved himself from receiving
injury. That the four were not in
stantlv killed is miraculous.

CARLISLE, Pa, Nov. 9.-The Sen
tinel of this evening says: On We'd
nesday afternoon last a little three
year-old girl, daughter Of one Of the
cooks at the poor house, met with a
horrible death. Her mother had
lifted off the stove a large tin boiler
full of boiling coffee, and set it on
the floor. The little girl was playing
around the kitchen, and was ap.
preached by Jake Diller a simple
fellow living there. The little girl
ran from him, fell against the boiler
and was precipitated head first into
the red-hot, boiling liquid. The
child was actually boiled to death,
the flesh coming off the bones in
chunks. She lived only few hours,
suffering excrutiating agony, until
welcome death relieved her.

Singular Accident at n Bridge.

EAsToN, PENN, Nov. 5.-A singu-
lar accident occurred here yesterday
morning. The work of placing new
ties and rails on the Lehigh Valley
Railroad bridge across the Delaware
has been going on for some time,
and was continued yesterday morn
ing on the two spans on the Jersey
side. About $40 o'clock the heavy
Empire freight for Jersey City was
due, and telephone message was
sent to the Pennsylvania side to
have her switched on the other track
at the cut. 1t was assumed that
this would be properly attended to /;
but it was not. Along came the
train. 1t was a long one and a
pusher was at the rear end. The
train was long enough to reach over
the bridge and around the curve out
of sight of the drawing engine.
When the danger was seen the engi-
neer of the front engine, six wheel
ed, connecting, heavy Clark locomo-
tive, whistled down brakes and re-
versed his engine.
But still he went ahead. There
was the river below, and it sesmed
inevitable that the locsmotive must
90 over. The engineer and fireman
Jumped, and the engine ran off the
end of the rail, broke through the
timbers of the bridge and turned
over at an angle of forty-fye degrees,
the guides and main pin catching in
the girder, while the cowcatcher
lodged on a little truck loaded with
ties, jamming them against the next
pier. And there hangs the locomo-
tive, firm and immovable. Sunday
and all day to-day great force
of workmen has been trying to get
the big engine out of the fix; but
she weighs forty tons without the
tank, and there is no chance to use
jack and there is no means of get
ting a fulcrum for leverage
This afternoon she still hangs sus
pended over The river, and great
crowds are watching the workmen,
who are, under the direction of prom
inent officials, endeavoring to solve
the problem involved in her release.
The usual traffic of the road goes on
to-day uninteruptedly, trains run
ming round the wreck on spur Of
the bridge

Abe Buzzards Gang.

READING, Nov. 7.-"Abe" Buzzard
and his notorious band of thieves
invited another battle with the citi-
zens by .perpetrating a series of rob-
berries last night. They are more
bold and daring than ever before.
1t is not believed that the robber
chief was badly wounded in yester-
days fight, as he undoubtedly took
part in the robberies last night which
were discovered this morning. A
rain storm prevailed to-day in the
Ephrata hills and no one specially
is after the robbers, although hun
dreds of citizens are assembled, ready
for another battle. Two dozen false
keys we're found on the hills. Cliff
ford, the captured outlaw, was shot
in the groin. He says the plunder
is hidden all over the hills. The ex-
citement continues unabated and if
the robberies continue the Governor
will be appealed to.
