Killed by . Drunken Man.

At one o'clock Thursday afternoon a
drunken Hungarian entered the depot of the
Lehigh Valley railroad company, Penn
Haven junction, and began a disturbance.
Station Agent +. J. Hogan came out and Or
dered him off,. The Hun paid no attention
TO him at first and kept on with his racket
Finally Mr.. Hogan told him if he did not 20
he would have him arrested. Tho Hunga-
rian turned about drew large 32-calibre
revolver and fired two shots in quick success
sion, both of which lodged In the breast of
Mr.. Hogan, who fell to the ground like log,
while the murderer stood stock still, with an
idiotic look ON his face and the revolver still
was shot. The balls entered his breast on
the left side and directly toward the heart
The reports brought out every one In the
vicinity, and the murderer was 6isarmed
before he had time to seek safety in flight
Hogan lived at White Haven.

The bill to make Niagara Falls and the

the New York Senate to-day. It does not
lack the support and encouragement Of men
famous in the world Of letters, in the church,
and In politics. When the original memo
rial to the governor was presented five years
ago, It was signed by Longfellow, Emerson,
Whittier, Holmes, Lowell, Parkman, and
Asa Gray Chief Justice Waite and all the
associate justices of the supreme court of the
United States large number of senators
and representatives in Congress, among
them James G. Blaine; the president of Har-
ward, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, Cornell,

New York and other universities or colleges;
most OF the ex-governors of New York the
admiral of the navy iand many generals of
the army; the governors of many of the
states the cardinal archbishop of New York
and most Of the Catholic and Protestant Epis-
copal Bishops in the state, and the mayors of
New York and other great cities 1t would
be strange If such a unanimous request from
all classes of distinguished citizens would
meet with a negative response from an intel

IT may be that all the war talk between
England and Russia Is premature. If II be
true, as was written from Meshed, that the Az
ghans without provocaticn attacked the Rus
sian troops and compelled their retreat from
Zulfikar Pass, nothing is more natural than
that the Russians when they had the Afghans
at disadvantage at Penjdeh, gave them Q
taste of their own medicine. Besides II does
not appear that the Russians desired to oc-
cupy Penjdeh, for after thrashing the
Afghans, Komaroff retired to Russian terri
tory. Bnt the difficulty of getting at the
true inwardness OF the situation arises from
the impossibility of finding truthful state

Where The Young Men Are.

With Characteristic complacency and
impudence, the New York Tribune says /;
As Mr. Blaine said in one of his pithy
speoches in the last canvass, the strength

statement cannot be galvanized into force.

e not ? scrupulous nor careful man in his
statements. He indulges in glitter and
tineel and sound, without much regard to
truth OF sense. He never was wider of the
mark than in this statement about the
yoqng men Of the country being mostly in
the Hepublican party. They are not.
During the war very large portion of
the Democratic party sloughed of, some
from sentiment, some for spoils; consid-
cradle portion Of the rising generation born
Of Democratic parents affiliated with the op-
pcsition; but since 1872 the tendency has
bean the other way. There has been more
or less of breakup and decentralization in
the Republican organization in every Sec
tion during the intervening years. Few of
the young men born in 1t have left the
Democratic party in the last ten years; and
many that were surrounded with adverse
associations have come to it.
Y This was very noticeable In the exposi-
tion Of the colleges in the last campaign

e Was this element that gave the vital blow
% Blaine's hopes. Hts character was one
to warn the better minded young men Of
the country, and his career furnished an
sz1mple for them to avoid. No one who
1tudied 1t with care and conscience could
b induced TO follow such leader into his

The Centennial Of the Dahiia.

The dahlia, after having been unfashion-
able for many years, has OF late, again gained
many friends, who will no doubt be interest
ed to learn that this flower might this year
celebrate the centenary of It's introduction
into Europe. In 1854 the Spaniard Vincent
Cervantes found new plant In Mexico with
small red, violet, or orange flowers around a
large yellow centre, growing on a long thin
stock. He sent q specimen to Senator Cav.
anilles the director of the botanical gardens
at Madrid, who gave the flower its present
name. From Spain the dahlia was exported
all over Europe. For the first thirty years il
was cultivated in England In a greater
variety than in any other country, but Later
on Germany, and especially the town o.
Kostritz, has taken the first place IN the
culture of dahlias,
