The Markham we'll, at Butler, Pa, was shot
"Wednesday afternoon, but it failed to clean
itself out. There is we'll defined rumor
that the well was not shot, but that the giy-
cerine was taken out during the night and
the fuse dropped into the hole with no glyce-

PASSENGERS on the Pennsylvania railroad
between this city and Philadelphia must
often have noticed the great white buildings
at Bryn Mawr that have been for some time
under construction as college for women
Its founder is the late DR.. Joseph w. Taylor,
of Burlington, N. j., who left $1,000, 600 to
the project 1t is believed that the
building will be ready for the recep-
tion of students by the middle of September.
OF the whole endowment fund 100000 will
he used for the buildings, the balance being
for the maintenance of the institution. The
object of the college is to give TO women all
the advantages ofa college education and to
fit them to he teachers of the higher
branches. 1t is worthy undertake
ing, although its absolute necessity
at the present time is not SO apparent.
Nearly all the leading colleges of the land
have thrown open their doors to the fair sex,
and the time when women were forced to go
across the ocean for an education has forever
passed away. ''a' .'i r,.,

IT is said that the medical men of London
do not as a rule make nearly so much money
rs their brethren in American cities Few
exceed in their income q, 1000 per annum.
Besidesit is much more difficult to enter upon
practice in that great city than nearly any
where else. A young man desiring to make
creditable start in the healing art must he
prepared to spend q, 900 the first year of his
practice. He would have little hope of sue
cess IL he could not from the start support
the expense of brougham, a coachman in
livery and page boy. And he must be able
to afford the luxury of a wife, for a
bachelor physician is regarded rs a
black sheep. But if the expenses in
the beginning are greater, those who
reach the pinnacle of success get higher
rewards. Sir Andrew Clarke's profes-
sional income is placed at S75, 900 per annum.
If entrance upon the practice of medicine re-
quired so much cash in this country, a num-
ber of thriving medical schools would need
to quickly close their doors.

O6t saying that MS present nomination was

1t is needless to inquire or speculate what
influences secured this appointment. No
Pennsylvanian who has not held federal
Office, and few who have, is 80 well known
to the party Of the country at large az Mr..
Hay. He was member of the state dele
CATION to the st. Louis convention in 1879,
and one of the gentlemen selected by
Mr.. Tilden to look after fair
count in Florida in that famous
electoral struggle. He was chairman of
the delegation In the Cincinnati conven-
tion Of 1880, and his management on the
floor excited the admiration which it al
ways commands in such positions. Again
in 1884 he was chosen by the delegation at
Chicagoits representative on the resolutions
committee; when that body dead-locked
between Converse and Morrison for chair
man, Mr.. Hay was by common consent
called to preside over it; and to his admira-
BILE tact and answering fairness the party
owes the clear, conservative, but unmis-
taxable deliverance on the tariff which
enabled it to win the presidential contest.
Such Democrat needed no introduction
to the administration and was no stranger
to its chief or his cabinet. He will take
with him intos an Office which calls mainl,

OLDTOwN's FINANCES.

Waidron $500 Short ia His Accounts.
OLDTowN, May 26.-The committee appoint
ed by the town of Oldtown, consisting of John
Blanchard, Frank Hamblen and Moses Aver
ill, to investigate the books of the defsulting
Treasurer Waldron, made report at town
meeting held Monday, stating that Waldron
was $5400 short in his accounts, exclusive of
about $1100, about which there is some doubt
of his bondsmen's liability. This $1100 in
cludas $500 borrowed by Waldron for the town
and for which he gave treasurer's
receipt; also the claims of four school
t. achers, who have not been paid
iull, the teachers having surrendered their
town orders and taken part payment in money
and either due bill or treasurer's receipt
for balance. The town debt was reported at
$4,000 or about So 900 more than was given
in the last report. An examination of the
books showed that Waldron had made a num-
ber of erasores and changes in the figures SO
as to cover up his rascality. The bondsmen
hope to prove that the town is preferred cred
itor of the estate of Waldron, which is worth
about $4,000. A hearing will soon be held at
the probate court to decide this point.
