SAN FRANC1soo,s SENSATION.
De Ioung's Friends AnxiOus-The no 1tIng
the Act of a Coward


SAN Francisco, Cal, Nov. 21.-The
shooting of Michael Fl. De Young, editor
OF the Chronicle. of this city, by Adoph
Spreckels, on Wednesday evening, is still
topic of conversation in the city. Pub
lie sympathy is all in favor of De Young.
The friends of the injured man express
great anxiety over his case. Although
the doctors refuse 10 make an absolute
statement as to his condition, it is well
known that they entertain the gravest
fears. One Of the bullets which struck
him passed within a xteenth of an inch
of the sub. clavian artery. Should in
fiammatiOn set in near the artery and the
latter burst, nothing could save his life.
The assassin Spreckels has been placed
under surveillance, and there is no pos
sibility OF his escaping from the city, even
should he desire to do so.
The assassin followed De Young for
over block, and would have shot him
on the street but for the crowd that was
passing at the time, Entering the Office
and taking his victim unawares, when he
was incumbered with I'm armful of books,
he fired three shots, two of which took
effect, the more serious wound being in

p0ned, as the condition of both De
Young and Spreckels prevented their APP
pearance.
SpreckelS' attempt on the life of the
editor was prompted by an article which
appeared in last Sundays Chronicle, Civ
ing an account of stockholders meeting
of the Hawaiian Commercial company, in
which Claus Spreckels, according to his
own report, which was submitted, was
in a fair way of gobbling up the COM

Let us see how it works Mississippi
has cast this year 121, 321 votes, elects
seven members of Congress, and there
tore cast II 331 votes for each member of
Congress. Alabama has cast this year
1913, 7S9 votes, elects eight members of
Congress, and therefore cast -, 225 votes
for each member of Congress.
On the other hand Ohio has cast this
year 1884, sol votes and elects twenty one
members of Congress, and has therefore
cast 1881 votes for each member of
Congress. New Jersey has cast this
year 26O, 792 votes and elects seven mem
bers of Congress, and has therefore cast
1886 for each member of Congress.
The two Southern States cast 27i, 100
votes for fifteen members, an average of
Is, 341 votes for each member Of Congress
The two Northern States have cast l, 045,
593 votes for twenty eight members, and
the average has therefore been 81, 343 for
each member of Congress. In other
words, the political value of white man
in Ohio and New Jersey is less than half
the'political value of white man in Mis-.
sissippi and Alabama. And this is the
sort of thing which the white men Of
Ohio and New Jersey are expected to
hail as blessed revolution IN TIE interest
OF the people.

A Trademarks FrightfuI Fate.

PIrTsBURG, Nov. 21.-Abraham Der
cav, who was employed as brakeman
on a coal train on the Panhandle railroad.
met with horrible death yesterday at.
ternoon. He was walking on the cars
when the train broke and he was thrown
on the track, the wheels passing over him
in such a way as to sever his head from
his shoulders. Mr.. Bercaw leaves
widow and three children. Mrs. Bercaw
dreamed on Wednesday night that her
husband was in wreck and that he was
killed. So impressed was she with the
vision that had come to her that when
morning came she told her dream to her
husband and begged of him not TO go to
work Yesterday.

A FEMININE FIRE-BUG.
Serious Charge Against Lace Peddier


HUNTINGDON, Nov. 21.-Incendiary
fires have been remarkably frequent in
this county of late, three barns having
been burned this week, with many indi,
cations that the fire was of such origin.
Simon Beale's barn, in Henderson town
ship, with two horses and quantity Of
oats, corn, hay and farming implements;
Amos Smucker's large barn in Brady
township, together with three horses, q
colt, three cows, several young cattle,
several wagons and the larger part of the
hay and grain crops; and Jessie NJ Claim s
barn, in Tod township, with two cows,
much hay, grain and like, were all
burned within few days, and the fire i'll
each case occurred shortly after dark. A
woman, who travels about selling laces,
excited suspicion by denying having had
any connection with the fires when she
had not been charged with it, and she has
been arrested.

EAsTON, Nov. 21.-Since the burning
of the Philadelphia and Reading depot,
several weeks ago, the detectives have
been trying to learn how the fire started.
They have just found that three boys
John Thomas, aged six years Henry
Yonson, aged ten years, and Frank
Kelscher, aged eleven years-had set Il
on fire. The boys were taken to the po-
lice station one at time and each admit
ted his guilt. On the day of the fire the
lads gathered lot of greasy waste and
crawied under the depot. They then ap
piled match and became frightened and
ran away when the fire became so large
they could not extinguish it. 1t was not
their intention to burn the building, but
to start small fire to keep them warm.
While at the police station Kelscher said
it was a good job and that new depot
was wanted here anyhow.

ALTOONA, Nov. 10.
Now that the election is over the
Republican policy is known and
tested. The party comes out of the
contest more thoroughly, heartily
and intelligently united 10 support of
that policy than it ever had been. A
magnificent leadership has kindled
zeal-discussion has shown the jus.
tice Of the republican cause. The
party has only to stand firmly and
faithfully by the principles for which
it has fought. 1t need ask no help
from those who knew and rejected
its claims. Before two years have
passed the Democrats will have
taught the people the Republican
policy was right The rocks may be
for the hour submerged by bowling
waves, but, if staunch, the waves will
presently fall broken and beaten from
its solid front.
The first fall snow of approaching
winter fell yesterday afternoon and
evening, which covered the earth,
house tops and clung to windows
and chimneys in the picturesque
scene attending the visit of Santa
Claus. There is hardly enough to
cause the jingle of sleigh bell, but
that will come later on, and, accord,
ing to the weather prophet, there will
be enough of it, and more, probably,
than is enjoyable, especially for the
poor class of people. The trains
from the west were covered with
snow and ice, indicating large fall
in the mountains. 1t is hardly prob
able that we shall have large snow
fall at present or that cold snap
shall follow this one. We are in
need of a few good rains first to fill
our streams and reservoirs, and in
the ordinary course of nature we
ought to get them before long. After
that we will be prepared for the
frigid season with all its peasants
and unpleasants, such as sleigh rides
and coal bills.

YORK.

On sunday morning we Slarteu
with rapidity toward the A. NJ. E.
Zion church, expecting that the Off
Gals had selected some one of the
many clergy to fill the sacred rostrum,
but nothing could be ascertained con-
corning the matter. Ere long we
learned that the pastor had not re-
turned from a business trip 10 New
Bedford, Massachusetts, therefore the
congregation made themselves con
spicuously absent. The preachers
steward, as a matter of course, is fully
cognizant of the position he holds. He
could not get any of the many anx-
ious expounders of divine truth, be
cause he did not ask or invite any to
come and help macedonia, the con
gregation must then be disappointed
two consecutive Sabbaths This is a
matter of grave consideration. We
think by little energy, with a little
self-saerifice on the part of the church
officials, they could have had preach
ing at night on Sunday. AT all events
one old and prominent member would
have asked a generous clergyman to
preach, but not being informed i'll
that direction declined to act. Matters
like these give room for speculation.
At night the members of the church
had an interesting meeting; they en-
gagged in bread and water supper,
in the basement of the church. The
Sabbath school has become less inter
esting to very many who had its sue
cess at heart, because of the misbe-
havior of the young ladies and gen.
tlemen. They should pay more at
tention to the reading and reciting of
the lessons, and not so much to laugh
ing and talking. How void of proper
training, how unevenly cultivated is
mind who will and does engage in
such unseemly conduct. No matter
how interesting the lessons, or how
profound its teachings, it is with
great difficulty that any speaker or
explainer can claim the attention of
the major portion of the school.
The executive committee of the
Garnet Literary Society had an inter
esting business meeting a few even
iugs ago. They contemplating re-
organizing soon. This association
has been a valuable auxiliary to the
moral and intellectually of the rising
community of this place. We wish
it success.
There will be a concert Of the little
folks connected with the A. M. E.
Zion Sabbath-scbool in the near
future.
1t is said by persons most favorable
to Democracy that Cleveland has got
it. The great question arises what
has he got9 Why fifty thousand dol
lars year is snug sum; then to
have the solid South lead him by the
nose, and the avaricious Democracy
of the North haunting his very noe
turnal slumbers, is not heaven by any
means. There are many appetites to
appease; therefore we perceive that
he has nothing that he can boast of,
but great deal to fear. It's better
to dwell in the midst of alarm than
reign in that horrible place.

ALBANY, n. Y, Nov. 21.-The State
Board of Canvassers met at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Ex-senator Conk-
ling was present for few minutes. A
protest to the effect that fifty-four green
electoral ballots had been cast in Della
ware county for the Republican electors
was read, and on motion of Attorney
General O'Brien was ordered to be en-
tered in the proceedings, and the return
was passed as received. The Kings county
returns show slight discrepancy, but
this was explained by the county clerk,
and the return was passed. The discre-
pancy in the Richmond county return
was explained by County Clerk Cornelius
A. Hart. He presented the original tally
sheets, and stated that the error in the
return before the Board was owing to the
omission by the copyist OF the names and
votes Of two Butler electors. This mis-
take was not apparent in the separate
footings, appearing only inithc. totals, and
a comparison of the original with the
statement transmitted to the Board veri
fed his explanation. On motion OF At
torney General o 'Brien, which was unani-
mously adopted, the clerk was permitted
to correct the return. All the returns
have been received, and tabulated state
mcnt will be ready for signature at noon
