tee. Since the happening of these
events, some of the fool friends Of
free trade have undertaken to read
Mr.. Randall out of the Democratic
party, and now comes the news from
Washington, that he and about forty
of his followers are about to come
over, bag and baggage, into the Re-
publican camp. Tho Republican
party has no room for tariff men Of
Mr.. Randall's stripe, who, when
Speaker, placed the most uncompro'
missing free trader in the House al
the head Of the Ways and Means
Committee, and personally accepted
the doctrine, and advocated "a tariff
for revenue only"
Mr.. Randall may possibly come
over to the Republican party when
the millennium arrives-no sooner
He is a Democrat by inclination
and by interest. He represents a
Pennsylvania tariff constituency.
He has straddled the question OF
protection for years, and when the
time comes that he must get of the
fence, like George NJ. Dallas, his
predecessor and prototype, he will
drop down on the free trade side
Personally, he differs but little from
Mr.. Carlisle on this question, and
when prudence calls, or necessity
wills, he will be found arm in arm
with him, marching under the ban
ner of free trade.

The bitter fruits of zeal without
discretion, is now being tasted by the
Prohihitionists of Ohio. The now
famous Scott law, enacted by the
Republicans Cf that State. was not
satisfactory to them, because it was
not as ultra as they desired, aud
therefore, they last year, by support
ing ticket Of their own, threw the
State into the hands of the Democ-
racy, and already a bill has been in
troduced in the Legislature to repeal
that law. In his annual message
SEM to the Legislature last week,
Governor Foster says:
The receipts upon the sale at re-
tail in Ohio of wine, beer and intox
icating liquors probably amounts To
the enormous SUM of S70,0O0,0OO.
Under the act passed by the last
Assembly, which is the first seeking
to impose restraint upon the liquor
traffic ever passed in the State that
had been successfully put into prac-
tlcal execution, more than 4,500 sa-
looms, and places where the traffic
had been carried on, have gone out
of existence, and if the law is per-
mitted to stand, the number retiring
from the business will be materially
increased. A revenue of nearly ST.
100000 has been received from the
operation of the law and paid into
the various city, county and village
treasures of the State Under the
local option" feature of the law a
number of villages have, bv ordi-
nance, prohibited the traffic within
their corporate limits, but because
of the phraseology relating to tip
pling houses, the sale of spurious
liquors cannot be prohibited, if not
sold in tipping houses. The law
should be amended so as to include
spurious liquors, the sale of which
as well as wine and beer, may be
prohibited by ordinance, and the
provisions of local option should be
extended to townships so that, when
by village ordinance the traffic is
prohibited, the people of the town
ship may prohibit also if they
choose, thus preventing the traffic
upon the border line of the village.
The General Assembly may rest as
sured that there is an overwhelming
public sentiment opposed TO the de-
mand of the liquor dealers, and in
favor OF giving the Scott law a full
and fair trial before any interference
with its provisions is attempted"
This statement of the Governor
shows the Prohibitienists, what they
will lose by the repeal of this law.

A Blockade at Pittsburg

PTTTsBURG, January 9.-The snow
ceased falling at noon to-day, having
attained a depth of twenty-five inch
es, much greater than any previous
fall for quarter of a century. The
snow is of light, sandy description
and has been drifting until many
streets in the city are impossible
Travel in the country is entirely
suspended. Street cars are running

ways are in not much better cOndl.
ton, being caught unawares, as
there was not a snow plow in the
Fort Wayne shops. There was not
even "a steel brush available, appar-
emily, and the locomotives soon grew
helpless.
The cowcatchers permitted the
snow to reach the fires, and the
maintenance of steam was the work
of the greatest difficulty, while the
J flying snow clogged the works Of the
engines, chilled the bearings and
gathered on the drivers aud rails Sc
that the big wheels revolved with,
out moving a foot. Locomotives
within 100 feet of their trains at the
depot in Allegheny could not back
that distance to start on their trips
The difficulty has been remedied, tC
a certain extent, by ignoring freight
traffic of all kinds, save the transpor
tation of live stock, and by running
light engines over the track every
hour. Notwithstanding this, passen
ger trains are still from one hour tC
four hours late on al! the prominent
roads, and on several of the branches
traffic has been entirely suspended
Several frame buildings in this city
were wrecked to-day by the weight
of the snow. One person was slight
" injured. The roofs OF Ralston':
Schoolhouse, Zug & Co.'S bar mill
the Westinghouse Air Brake Con
pany's blacksmith department and
Hunmel's beer garden fell in from
the weight of the snow.

Repleyening Il Corpse.

DEs MONIES, January 9.-The
turning over to medical college OF
the body of a Swede pauPer, Thos
Larrell, who was frozen 10 death on
Friday night at Saylor, caused great
excitement among the Scandinavian
population here. About three hun
dred of them gathered in the streets
in the vicinity of the college yester-
day, and at one time it was feared
there would be trouble.
Three of the leading ones sued out
writ Of replevIn, and an officer
armed with 1t, ascended the stairs
to the top of the college building.
The dean could not be found, and
the professors in charge denied hav-
ing possession of the body, The
officer broke down the door of the
dissectingroom and there discovered
the corpse lying on the table, while
the sought for Dean was standing
by looking admiringlv down upon
it. The body was taken and turn
ed over to the countrymen of the
unfortunate dead man and by
them buried. There can be no
doubt that had not the aid of the
| law been invoked the Scandinavian
people would have forcibly entered
/ the college and taken possession OF
/ the BODY.

Snot her.

MINERsvILLE, Pa, Jan. S.-A ro-
nance in real life was completed
here today by wedding IN court
which not only furnishes a strong
illustration of devotion In humble
life but involves an interesting legal
point. A week ago Susie Bradley, a
Young girl, was brutally assaulted
and shot by her lover, Dennis flSe.
The young people wanted to marry,
but the girls parents objected. SO
to hoodwink them she pretended to
Tilt Pike for another man. Inc

To-day she reappeared at the prison.
She had been TO see lawyer, and
having learned that wife cannot be
compelled to testify against a hus
band, had determined to marry her
Jealous lover forthwith. Young Pike
consented gladly, but the warden oI
the Jail declined to permit the cere-
mony. The girl then applied to the
court, which was in session, and by
order of the Judge Pike was brought
into court, and after receiving lee
ture the twain were made one. The
Court was in doubt whether to allow
the wedding, but upon consultation
with another Judge and several lead
ing lawyers decided to do so, anc
mol pressed the indictment against
Pike.

buildings and part of the depot
were blown off. innumerable small
buildings were upset. The cyclone
came sweeping down a narrow val
ley from the Green Mountains to
Lake Champlain, which is shut In
by high mountains, and carried
devastion in track some four miles
wide. At Northampton, Mass, a

THAT able Democratic paper, the
New York Sun, is opposed to the
free trade policy of its present party
leaders, and does not hesitate to say
that it will lead to defeat. 1t is sat
isfied, however, that the false steps
taken will not be retraced, and in Its
issue of Wednesday last, says:
+" 1t is true that some of the con-
spicuous gentlemen who have ini.
tiated this notable movement, now
show evidence of a desire to draw
back but IN this second purpose
they are not likely to be gratified.
The movement has become too
strong for them, and while the re-
sponsibility attaching to the tempo
rary overthrow of their party by
their own hands may well seem
grave enough to give the most ener-
geuc statesmen pause, we do not be
lieve that 1t can suffice to make them
depart from convictions avowed for
years and from a doctrine which
they have long advocated with en-
thnsiasm and ability.

feated, but the flag of free trade will
not be struck. No towards will be

Burned to Death.

RALEIGH, January 9.-An entire
family of negroes, William Groom
and wife and six children, were
burned to death on Saturday night
on the plantation of W. G. Taylor,
in Lenoir county. That night the
weather was the coolest it had been
for twenty years. 1t is supposed
that large fire was made before the
family retired, and that the house
caught fire from the Slazing brands
rolling on the floor. No news of the
catastrophe reached the neighbors
until Sunday noon, when neighbol
visited the place and found nothing
but the ashes of the house and the
charred remains of eight human be
ings. The skeletons of the father
and mother were found near tOgeth
er, with that of an infant between
them. where the bed had stood. The
skeleton of one child was between

PITTsBURG, January 9.-The storm
had spent its fury by l O'Clock this

in the most emphatic manner ad-
ded:
The evidence is not wanting

The Lawyers After the Commissioners

WILKEsBARRE January 11.-For
a long time past bad feeling has ex-
listed between the County CommIs-
sioners and a majority of the mem
bers of the bar, which eliminated
this morning in the sending off bill
OF indictment TO the grand jury
against the Commissioners for neg
l;gence in not carrying out certain
improvements in the Court House
ordered by the grand jury some
time ago. There was much excite
ment among the lawyers and for a
time great confusion prevailed. Ex-
Judge Harding led the lawyers in
the attack upon the Commissioner
and was followed by several others,
who demanded of the Court that a
bill of indictment be drawn up i'm
mediately. Judge Woodward then
called up the District Attorney and
instructed him to draw up the bill
that had been requested. The com
missioners say the lawyers are en-
tirely too fresh ;" they are working
for the interests of taxpayers and
mean to conduct an economical ad-
ministration.
