tween Penn Haven and Mauch Chunk
Monday morning, the rear driving
wheels of the engine mounted the rails
and afterward fell on the road bed. The
engine was subsequently thrown dag
Onally across the west-bound track, the
tender overturned on an up track, and
the baggage and chair cars run against
a high embankment. The engine was
considerably damaged, the tank badly
wrecked; and one truck of each car
broken. The only person hurt was
Charles Terry, baggage master, whose
injuries are slight. The passengers
were transferred to train on the Le-
high and Susquehanna road and brought
to Mauch Chunk, and the wrecked train
was abandoned. The passenger train
that leaves here at ISL was caught be-
hind the wreck and detained over two
hours. This train, after being released,
ran into an empty engine three miles
west of the wreck and caused another
blockade. Both engines were damaged
and baggage car broken. One of the
engines is the same that was thrown
into Stony Creek by misplaced switch
some time ago. Among the passengers
OH the down train was our friend Daniel
Graver, who till within few moments
before the accident had been sitting in
the baggage car talking with Mr.. Terry,
and by thus leaving the car missed
possible injury.

workmen are not willing to accept the
wages which the manufacturers are will
ing to give. The result is that mills are
II, and workmen by tens of thous-
ands are deprived of employment and
Of pay.
This Is not an encouraging symptom,
but the opposite. 1t does not look to
better times, but to worse times. 1t
does not promote human happiness; it
creates misery.
1t is evident that the commercial, in
dustrial, and financial crisis which be-
gan about the time of President Gar
fields death, in 1881, is not yet ended.
The longed-for period of recuperation
has not yet set in. There are still hard
times before the country, and poverty
and suffering will weigh down many
families. .t......
This is the penalty that we pay for
the mistakes and follies of spectators,
who, when business was at flood tide,
set on foot enterprises that were doomed
to failure, and that in their effects cause
widespread ruin.

GOVERNOR PATTIsoN vetoed the Con-
gresSional and Legislative Apportior
ment bills. His veto messages give un-
answerable reasons for his action, and
no man can read them without coming
to the conclusion that there was no al
Tentative course open to him. The Con-
gressional and Legislative districts, as
arranged, defy every rule of law and
constitutional requirement by such gross
Inequalities of ratios and fragrant disre-
gard of popular convenience and geo.
graphical distribution that the Governor
could not in conscience either approve
the appointments by signing the bills
or allow them to become laws without
his signature. Their ingenious badness
nccessitated the exercise of the veto
power. At least an opportunity is now
afforded the Legislature TO do better.
If 1t turns out that the vetoes are not
oyer-ridden, and further legislation fails,
the present apportlonments will stand.
They are no worse than those proposed.
If Governor Pattlson's course does not
succeed in preventing a political injus-
tice 1t will not be the means of produc-
Ing greater injustice. The obdurate
determination of the Republican majori-
ty 70 break down the safeguards of con-
neutrality-suspicious. is responsible for
whatever mischiefs may result.

treachery, being killed by the assassins
who were employed to kill his brother.
The piece ends in the repentance of the
unnatural mother and the restoration of
his estate to thelawful heir. The whole
drift of the piece is wholesome, manly
and womanly. 1t is realistic and truth
ful and welcome addition to the stage,
after the degenerate drama of the last
twenty years-the main constituents of
which seemed to be a heartless roue,
woman OF questionable repute, an old
fool of a father, dissolute brother and
few ninnies, male and female, to fill
up. Mr.. Mayo deserves credit for giving
us piece to which we can take our
wives and daughters without introduce
ing them to yelled vice in gilded bag
MOS. ...
The weeks work of our police has
been a good one and it gives me great
pleasure to record the departure of Hun
CRY Joe the bunco man to States Prison !;
for years this notorious rascal has defied
the police, and carried on his swindling
games. This is the individual who cap
tured Oscar Wilde, Charles Frances
Adams and numbers of other celebrated
men. He flew for the highest game and
generally got them. His attempt to rob
an English gentleman brought him to
grief, and for four years at least the city
will be rid of him. The quick convic-
tion and Imprisonment of this villain
will have dampening effect on the
bunco business here and expect to hear
no more of it for some time to come. 1t
has been a bad week for the confidence
operators. Ellen Peck, who swindlet
Babbitt out of $4,000, and whose rob-
berries altogether have amounted to near
ly S2O0,OO was convicted of forgery
and the chances are that the best part
of her future life will be passed inside
prison-walls. There have been many
women who practiced her calling, but
no one of the present generation ever
approached her. She beat the sharpest
detectives and foiled the shrewdest law
yers. She went among the most expert
of the criminal classes and got the best
of them all. As an adroit swindler it is
doubtful if her equal is alive in the globe
to-day; but her conviction this week
promises long imprisonment. and for
the time closes one of the most remark
able criminal lives of the century.

THE Farmers (Chicago) Reriev has
made complete survey of all the West
ern and Southern wheat-growing States.
The gloomiest views advanced concern
ing the winter wheat outlook for 1885,, {"
1t says, must now be accepted as the
most accurate. The absolute uniformi-
ty of the returns indicate that the out
look this year is the worst in ten Years
and it may be set down as positive that
under the most favoring conditions too
the total winter and spring wheat yield
is to fall considerably under the short
crop of 1881, when the total product
was 3SO, 900, 900 bushels" The Rerie,y
estimates the winter wheat Weld at
about DO, 100000 bushels and the abso-
lutte percentages from the most trust
worthy sources indicate that the yield
will fall somewhat undertha over these
hgures, The probable spring wheat
yield, based upon continuing favorable
weather, will be l3O,OOO,OOO bushels.
The total wheat crop of the country,
therefore, from the present outlook, will
be from 800, 100000 to $50, 900, 900 BUSH
els, against an average yield for the past
five years of 40I, 200, 600 bushels.

THE Lehighton ADVOCATE looks
charming in its new dress of type. All
rem tins for Brother Mortimer now is to
join the rest Of the county publishers in
the movement to organize union for
their mutual protection. 1t can be done.
1t should be done.
The above we clip from last week s
Summit Hill and Lansford Record,
We were not aware that there was any
movement being made to organize a
union for mutual protection among
the publishers of this county. We had
thought that the movement" only ex-
listed in the Uranium of the hon. gentle
man at Lansford; and further we do not
think 1t necessary to organize ''union
for mutual protection'-we have an
idea that we can protect our own inter
ests; there are now entirely too many
unions and combinations of working
men and capitalists both. We always
decline job of work when we cannot
make fair, honest living profit out of
it. Let Bro. Maloy and all others do
the same and there will be no necessity
for union for mutual protection" in
this or any other county.

WELLsBoRo AGITAToR: 1t is little
difficult to see how temperance hygiene
is to be cffectually or usefully taught in
Che primary departments of the schools
but under the terms of the law an effort
must be made to teach the abecedarians
physiology and hygiene with special
reference to the effects of alcoholic
drinks, stimulants and narcotics upon
the human system" Perhaps in time
VIC shall have the pretty prattlers of the
primary classes lisping in chorus:
A stands for Alcohol, Al terry, Air;
is for Brain that's Bcsotted by Beer;
is hard Cider that's drank on the sly;
j is Digestion that's Damaged thereby.
And so forth and so on. When our lit
tie folks get to discussing digestive, vas
cular and nervous disorders in words of
one syllable life will have acquired new
horror for all of us.

An Old Man Murdered,

A crime of unparalleled brutality
was committed Thursday of last week,
in Browntown, a suburb of Pittston.
Michael Gilroy, an old man of some
property, has lived there. Several years
ago he married second wife, and his
children by his first wife deserted him.
His second wife's nephew, James
Flanagan, lived with them. GiIroy and
his young wife quarreled, the nephew
taking the wife's part. Thursday of
last week the old man was found lying
in the house, weltering in blood, with
his head shockingly- lacerated.. The.
furniture was disordered, the walls and
floor were smeaFed and spatfered with.
blood, and there were other evidences
of a violent struggle. In one corner
was poker covered with blood and
hair, and near ii a heavy stone also
smeared with blood. The old man was
alive, but senseless, and thus he died
Friday. : Mrs. Gilroy was found in a
neighbours house. She said she was
absent from home all night. Flanagan
could not be found, but II was learned
that about the time the crime must have
been committed he was seen going from
the house. Detectives are on his track
and he has been traced as far as Dun
more, Lackawanna county. Mrs. Gllroy
has been arrested. She refuses TO talk.
