BUFFALO, March 1.-THE wife Of
Deacon Sidney S. Brown, of Gowan-
da, has brought him good fortune as
she has been acknowledged by the
Court of Queens Bench as the heir
ess . the Lawrence.Townley estate
in England, valued at 100000, 900,
her share being e40,000,000. Lord
Townley, before the opening Of the
present century, was the parent Of a
wilful daughter, Mary, who was dis
owned for engaging herself to John
Lawrence.a man of good family, but
poor. They came to America, and
were married by priest at Spring
field, Mass. Lord Townley died and
his family was extinct, save the
daughter, and for half a century the
property was held by the Crown.
Colonel James Jacques, at the
close of the late war, went to Spring
field as a minister, aud there discov-
cred the record of the Townley- Law
renee marriage. Knowing of the
estate in England, he traced the
heirs 10 Gowanda. and there found
Mrs. Brown, who was a daughter of
Judge Wilders, Colonel Jacques was
sent to Engiand, and he got deci-
sion that the claim was valid, and
last week. by giving two members OF
the House Of Lords an interest they
procured a transfer Of the proceeds
OF the estate to the United States
Treasury. Colonel Jacques claims
that the money will be transferred
within month or two. He gets
ons-third for his trouble.

Anxious Bourbons.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Virginis
Democrats have been anxiously in
terviewing Postmaster-General Villas
to learn whether or not there is any
prospect for the immediate removal
Of postmasters in the Old Dominion
appointed by the last administration
through the influence of Senator
Malone. There are about 1.50O
postmasters in Virginia who owe
their appointment to the Readjuster
leader. The Bourbons want these
men removed. and they want them
to go Immediately. There is no
prospect that their desire will be
granted.
Postmaster General Villas has in
formed representative Democrats
from Virginia that changes will be
made in the post-offices of that state
as rapidly as the commissions of the
present incumbents expire, but that
there is no prospects of wholesale re-
movals among officers of this class
simply because their politics are OBJ
iectionable to the party in power in
that state.

Wife Murder.

Fort SMITH, Ark, March 10-A
bloody wife murder occurred at
Scullyville, in the Choctaw Nation,
Yesterday morning Joseph Jack
son entered his house where his
wife was washing dishes and shot
her twice in the breast with a doub-
le-barreled shotgun, killing her in
stantly. Jackson Immediately
sbouldered his gun and walked three
miles for a woman to attend his
wife, whom he said was very ill.
Upon reaching the house where his
wife lay dead, Jackson appeared
startled and reported that his wife
had been murdered in his absence.
Suspicion pointed so strongly to-
ward him as her murderer that he
was arrested and brought to Fort
Smith for trial. Jackson recently
became enamored of another wom-
an, and wanted to get his wife out
OF the way, hence the motive for
the tragedy.

The Rush Cor Once.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
Democrats ex-members of the For.
ty-eighth Congress have become
such an intolerable nuisance to the
members ofthe new Cabiuet, ip their
importunitles for Office, that q notice
has been issued by the heads of the
different departments that only
members of the forty-ninth Congress
will be admitted after IL O'Clock.
This places the ex-members of the
Forty-eighth Congress on the same
footing as reputable citizens in the
scuffle for Office. The freezing-out
process, commenced by the Presi-
dent, works well. The crowd of of.
fee hunters who have been hanging
around the departments since inaug-
uration day is gradually thinning
out. The result is considerable
"cussing," but the Administration
is happy, all the same.

Serious Effects OF . Hog Bite.

WEsTFIELD, Mass, March 49,
Jared Ward, a farmer living near
this town, was bitten several years
ago by a rabid hog. leaving a deep
wound which the physicians could
not heal. Two years ago Ward
went into a cold creek, in the early
spring, to wash his sheep. The in
jured leg panied him intensely for
several days afterward and then it
healed up. though it has ached at
times ever since He was in his
orchard on Monday trimming his
apple trees, and when near the top
of tall tree lost his balance and
fell to the ground, a distance OF
about thirty feet, striking heavily
upon his feet. He heard a noise
under him like the breaking of ice
and then fell fiat to the ground. He
attempted to rise, but the pain in
the leg which the hog had bitten
was SO severe that he became un-
conscious. As soon as possible he
was carried home and it was dis
covered that the leg was completely
shattered, being broken in more
than twenty places. The leg will
have to be amputated, and even
then it is doubtful if Wards life can
be saved.

a Great Explosion.

CLEVELAND, o., March 10-The
citizens of Bradford. Pa, were startled
to day by terrific explosion which
shook the houses in all parts of toe
town. Inquiry revealed the fact
that the nilroglycerine company,
located at Howard Junction, three
miles away. had been the scene of a
terrible casualty. A magazine con-
tanning 5000 pounds of glycerine had
exploded. and w. H. Harrington.
one of the proprietors, and H. V.
Pratt, an employe were killed.
The factory, twenty five feet away,
was blown into fragments. Pratt's
body vas found 200 feet away. All
his bones were broken, but the skin
was intact. Mr.. Harrington weigh
100 pounds. One or two pieces of
flesh were the only trace that could
be found of him. Trees were torn
up by the roots, and great holes
were made in the earth. Loss,
5000.

WASHINGTON, March l2.-Secre-
tary Manning is opposed 70 the APP
pointment Of Phil Thomp eou TO be
| Commissioner Of Internal Revenue,
and the President does not look up
on the ex-member from Kentucky
with any great favor ; at last it is
said, when delegation called upon
him in Thompson's behalf some
time ago, Mr.. Cleveland asked if the
gentleman whom they named was
the one who killed msn in Ken
lucky few months ago. The fact
was admitted, and 6enstor Black
burn, with all his eloquence, explain
ed the unfortunate circumstances
that led to the murder.
1t is said that Mr.. Randall is OPP
posing Thompson's appointment on
the ground that the position should
not go to Kentucky, which is a state
very largely interested in the manu-
facture of whisky. Carlisle, Beck
and Blackburn have been to see the
President several times in Thomp
sons behalf, and he has, besides the
entire Kentucky delegation, great
number of members of the House
from other states, Representative
Morrison is reported 10 have tele-
graphed from Springfield, ILL.,, to a
friend here. last night, to say to the
President that he Morrison) would
not ask for anything else of the Ad-
ministration but Thompson's ap-
pointment. A number of liquor
men in New York, representing a
capital of sl5 100000, have petition
ed Secretary Manning to give Mr..
Thorn pson the place.

Low Lands Flooded.

CARRoLLroS, Mo-, March II The
distress aud loss of property conse-
quent upon the high water south of
this place have increased mat. rally.
The ice gorges in the Missouri River
have not broken, and the water is
being forced all over the adjacent
lowlands. John Austin is reported
to have lost all his stock but two
head of mules. w. Heston lost
twenty zone head of cattle and DR.. P
Austin large amount of wheat.
Fences and all kinds of movable
property is scattered, and much Of
it floated awav beyond any hope Of
recovery. Yesterday guns were
heard firing in the timbered part of
the inundated district, which were
interpreted to be signals of distress,
and men went with boats to the res
cue. 1t is feared that some lives
have been lost.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1885-03-18

The editor of an Omaha pa per, in
commenting on several cases in that
city where children died from the
effect oftaking cough syrup contain
ing morphia, remarks that opiates.
pJisons and norcotics are more dam
gerous than firearms. Mothers
should note this and furthermore
that different Boards of Health, af-
ter making careful analyses Lave GER
titled that the only purely vegetable
preparation of this kind, and one
that is in every way harmless,
prompt and effective, is Red Star
Congh Cure. Mayor Latrobe of Bal
timore. and the Commissioned of
Health, have publicly endorsed this
valuable discovery.

BALTIMoRE, Md, March 14-Last
Tuesday afternoon a woman of gen.
teel Appearance applied for accom-
modatious at boarding house in
this city, saying she was from Wash

conversation she said she was the
wife OF an office-holder in Wishing

ing sent by her husband to an insane
asylum. She was restless in man

WASHINGTON, March ~ The
proportion of ladies in the Senate
galleries to day, compared with the
number of gentlemen, has not been
80 small at any time before during
the special session. Democratic
Senators say that three-fouIths OF
the people at the capital are Office
seekers. They meet the Senators on
their way TO the capitol, lounge
about the corridors and besiege the
committee rooms. At one time yes
terday, it is said, there we're up
wards of 20 office seekers in and
about the committee room of Sena-
tor Voorhees,, of Indiana, while those
who called upon Senator Cockrell, of
Missouri, were almost as numerous.

WAsHISGToN, March 16 6-The
deep interest manifested the other
day by Mr.. DeStruve, the Russian
Minister. in the trial of dynamite
projectiles near Lear. excited Consid-
erable comment because il shows
that the representatives of the Car
are awake to the latest invei lions ID
the art Of war. The strain Il. rsla-
tions between England and Russia
doubtless added to the watchfulness
of Mr.. DeStruve. He took copious
notes, and in every way showed
that matters pertaining to war and
I its implements are Of especial inn
portance to him and his nation at
! this time. y
A war between England and Rus
sia would be a struggle of great mag
pitude. Russia's regular army is
the largest in the world, and her ma
Wy has more vessels than that Of
any other natian. Her standing ar
my consists of 10000 men; and her
navy of 373 vessels. She pays for
the maintenance of her army S125,-
100000 year, which is several mil
lions greater than is paid by any
other nation for that purpose.
Great Britain's standing army is on
ly. $4,000 men, and when on war
footing $4,000, against Russia's
2 100000.
England pays s9000),0 900 a year
for her army, which costs 81 81 for
each of her population, while Ru-sia's
costs but sl.27. Even if Great Brit
ain takes into account her India con-
tiDgent-which is 100, 900. and on
the war footing SO,OO0-the total
would be in either case less than
half of Russia's force. Italy's stand
ing army numbers $50, 600; frances
$4,000: Germany's, 445.0O0; Chi
mas. 100000; Austria Hungary's,
$4,000 The French navy has 302
vessels Great Britain's, 246, though
it is proper to add that Great Brit
aims costs about three times as
much as Russia's.
