The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1884-12-20

To each aud every one OF our readers
and friends we extend our best wishes
for Merry Christmas. The season of
festiyity dawns upon our beloved land
most auspiciously; while other nations
have been visited by universal plaques
of cholera and other sicknesses, we have
been most mercifully spared. For this
we uttered thanksgiving only few
weeks since, yet i'll the happy season
now at hand. let us not forget amidst
our many pleasures, the circumstances
which enable us to enjoy them the more
fully and with lighter heart. Let us
also bear In mind that while the coming
holidays will find many blessed with
prosperity and happiness, they will also
dawn OF others for whom they will bring
sad and reflective thoughts, and increas-
ed misery. Let those to whom prosperi-
tY has come, who, with happy hearts,
will welcome the coming Of the festive
days, share portion of their happiness
and temporal blessing with the poor.
Our eujoyments are sometimes so great
and our blessings so abundant that we
are apt to forget those at our own door
from whom they have been withheld, and
to whom our enjoyment brings only ad-
ditional misery, We therefore earnestly
appeal to all by whom these lines may
be read, to remember the poor and dis
tressed, and we feel confident that nc
previous Christmas will have seemed to
them so bright and happy as this year
when. with grateful hearts, they shared
the blessings bestowed upon them will
those of their fellow creatures, who, but
for their thoughtful attention and benev
olence, might not have tasted morse
of food on The happiest day of all the
year. Again we wish all our patrons g
MERRY CHRI, TMAs.

here in one day last week Que was tue
snicide of Prof DeWoIowski, who had
tbe musical tutelage of all oil the bes.
families Of Washington, and who was
also confronted by his own daughter
with charge of incest. And the other
was the elopement of the afiianced bride
of New York banker with an office
clerk. The last named event creates
some sensation because the female part
ner in the elopement is of the upper strata
in Washington society. and the circum-
stances Of her flight peculiarly cruel, be-
cause fifteen hundred invitations had
gone out for one of the swellest of the
swell weddings Of the capital, which was
to have taken place on the 11th inst.
The treachery of the girl in the case was
broGght about by the attempt of the old
folks TO saddle husband upon her
whom she did not and could not love,
and the verdict of the jury is that she
served 'em right
One of the first things that the new
Democratic administration should do
upon its accession to power, is the un-
oeremonious bouncing of the landscape
architect around the capitol, whose
denominations abound on every hand. In
the outrageous devastation that has been
wrought here under the name of i'm
provements, the once beautiful plats OF
ground both east and west of the capital
have been transformed into an unsightly
and incongruous field of concrete walks
with small patches of shr1bbery here
and there that have as little attraction rs
the burdock plants that line a country
road. The large and magnificent trees
whose foliage made the west entrance to
to the capitol a really superb resort for
the stranger end an attraction to every.
body, have all disappeared under the
blighting edict of this taste-forsaken
architect, and their places are supplied
by walls, walls, walls, some with II pur.
pose. but more without any other pur.
pose than the expenditure of money and
a contribution to the inevitable contrao,
tor, If the dignified character of the
capitol and its surroundings must be
preserved, we must got rid of the land
scape idiot who would reject the stately
trees in these grounds as beneath hi:
ideal of landscape beauty.

Knocked Down with a Wash Tub.
Andrew Stifun, the Hungarian teamster
employed by Michael Mccarthy the grocer
on South Wyoming street, Hazleton, was
arrested last Friday by Coal aud Iron
Policeman Simpson, of Jeanesyille, on a
warrant issued by Squire McGarvey, OF
Beaver Meadow charging him with brutal
ly assaultiug David Jones, of Tresckow
Stiffan alleged at the hearing that, while
drying a team Of horses through the viii
lago VI Tresckow, last Thursday, nth inst,
with load Of groceries and products, the
team was stepped by Jones, who demande ed
a measure Of whiskey from HIM, as he
usually carried it for customers. Stfun
refused to give him the liquor, when Jones
opened TRADE OF abuse, calling him the
vIlest names imaginable, such as a dirty
Hunk" and the driver Of four wheeled
dlstillery, StilI'un, who sat on the wagon
all this time, requested Jones to let 60 his
hold on the horses reins, which he still
held He continued his hold, when the
teamster, who is q powerfully built man,
stepped down from the wagon, picked up
a wash tub, which stood to one side, aud
with all the muscular force he could
muster hurled it at Jones, striking him on
the forehead and iuAicting a cash about
four inches long and krooking him sense
less. 1t was believed at one time that the
wound was fatal, and it was some time
before he regaiued his senses. A physician
was summoned, who dressed the wound
putting seven stitches ia it. The justice

FROM WASHINGTON
Special to the CARBON ADVOCATE.


WASHINGTON, Dec, l3, 1884.
The class of people who will be more
affected than any other by change of
administration at Washington, are the
small shop-keepers who have been in the
habit of giving unlimited credit to the
Government clerks. Up to the very day
OF election, the continued asoendency of
the Republican party was so assured that
one dealer here increased his outstanding
accounts $5, 600 in one week, and now he
is trying to get settlement for at least a
part of the $751; marked doubtful on
his ledger. The clerks as q rule, are be-
ginning to practice a little more prudence
in the husbanding of their resources, and
naturally enough they think that the pay
ment of honest debts is poor way to
economize. They therefore laugh at their
creditors and simply tell them that ludg.
ment day is good day 10 settle up, and
il that is too busy day, the day follow
>ing would do.
The last session of Congress adjourned
leaving any uumber of appropriations for
any number Of public buildings to be

general craze not only among Congress

public buildings, and the more expensive
the better. On the calendar now at this
session are bills for eXpending seventy
millions for. Government structures, the
