they are watching you, and however
nicely you may try to cover up the

no dictation from you; you need not
hatch up fusion with the Democrats
on their account for spoils; If they
can't maintain their principles they

The mighty trap setter this time
gives us another version of the trap

who processes to have one thimble full

himself of such stuff as that quotation,
and have the brass to call it argu-
ment, is indeed humiliating, not to
say disgusting, and only tends to
show to what strait we have driveG
him. Utterly lost to all sensibility of
decent or common sense argument, he
grasps at every straw he sees to save
himself from going down, down into
the mire of humiliation and defeat
Shame on you, .Jasp., we really thought
better of you. That you have tram
pied under foot the most sacred rule
Of your party, that of allowing every
voter to name his choice of candidates,
we have proven to you so straight
that nothing will let you out but the
most deliberate and willful distorting
Of facts. The assertion that "the Re-
publican delegate system is the same
as the conventions suggested to the
Democrat and Greenback parties" is
, without semblance of truth. There is
no system in vogue by Republicans that
takes the nominations out ofthe hands
of the many and places it in the hands
of few, where political wire.puller:

$4,000 Gone!

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.-The
Chronicle publishes in substance the
following marvel. Captain w. f.
Swasey, the oldest pioneer Of the
coast, makes statement of the in
tense suffering of his friend Col. d.
j. Williamson. an Army officer of
distinction and an Ex-U. s. Consul,
who was attacked in the winter of
1872 with lentrheumatism So
great was his agony in after years,
he became helpless cripple, and af-
ter trying numberless remedies, the
baths of other countries and spend
ing fortune Of $50, 900, the disease
seemed to assume more virulent
type. Finally, he was persuaded to
try st. Jacobs Oil, the great con-
queror of pain. 1t worked a miracle
of cure. In letter to the Chronicle
he confirms Capt. Swasey's state
ment and adds: 81 cheerfully give
my unqualified attestation to the
truthfulness OF the statement, be-
cause l feel perfectly certain that a
knowledge of my cure by st. Jacobs
OIL will prove the means of reliev-
ing hundreds of sufferers"

Though a Flame Of Fire.
A FEARFUL RIDE.

BRALEORD, Pa, January 15.-A
stream Of waste oil flowing from a
faux across the Bradford, Bordell
and kinzua Railroad caught fire this
morning as a passenger train from
Wellsville to Bradford ran into it
and the train was Immediately en-
veloped in flames. The track for a
distance of fully one hundred yards
was covered with oil. 1t is believed
that the gas coming in contact with
the fire box exploded the engine,
firing the oil, which spread on h ar
ricane wings and enveloped the
doomed trains which in an instant
was a mass Of flames. So intense
was the heat that the windows
cracked and fell in. In less time
than it takes to write tia passenger
coach and baggage car were convert
Cd into a seething, Kissing fire. 1t
was terrible. In moment the
coach was filled and
THERE WAS A RUSH FOR THE DOOR
but the heat Was 80 intense that the
panic stricken passengers were driv-
en- back and forced to jump througe
the windows to a landing in tie
snow. A relief with surgeons and
cots was dispatched to the scene.
Upon its arrival terrible sight r e.
sented itself. The passenger coach
and baggage Car were smoking ruins.
The engine lay on its back. having
turned a complete somersault. 1t is
definitely known that only three
persons, all women, were burned to
death.

In the small hours of the morn
Ing of January 9th, a man was
seen YEARLY leaning against a
fence in the Orange Mountains of
New Jersey, aud in the bitter
cold called to farmer to take him
into bis wagon and carry him to a
place of shelter. The farmer was
afraid the stranger was a robt er
and drove on. The weary man
was left to his fate. He stagger-
ed up the mountain road a little
distance, fell on bis face and froze
to death. Tho man was Charles
Delmonico, a name which repre-
sents the highest idea of extrav
agant ease and luxury, and he
left behind him every opportunity
to enjoy these to wander aimlessly
among strangers and perish like
an outcast in sight perhaps OF the
summer home of Gen. Mcclellan,
who had often been his guest. In
his madness he concealed his
tracks from his best friends and
eluded their sharpest search, to
die alone on the roadside.
