FROM WASHINGTON
Special to the CARBON ADVOCATE.

SpNOAdi w buS SAhbOH hDNONATE
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2, 's5.
The avowed intention of the Presidenl
and his Cabinet TO remain in Washington
nearly the whole of The heated term, has
the effect Of prolonging the social and busi.
ness season, and promises to render the
coming summer one Of the most eventful
and animated that has eyer been witnessed
in Washington. The work of the depart
ments and all the operations Of the Cow
eminent, except the legislative branch have
to go on throughout the year, and the
President sees no reason why there should
be relaxation of official vigilance or IN
dustry. The effects Of an all summer Ad.
ministration will be observable in many
respects.
A Congressman who has made the rounds
of the departments, IN the interest of his
office seeking contingent, was met this af.
ternoon. "How were you received by Sec
retary Bayard9" asked the correspondent.

THE latest reports from Europe are
favorable TO the preservation of peace
Russia has admitted the principle of ar
bitration, and negotiations are now 60
ing on for the submission of the ques-
tions at issue to an arbitrator. Contra
dictory reports are plenty as to conces-
siOns TO be made on either side, but If
Russia meets England half way the diff
ticulties will be settled without an appeal
to arms. Peace will not be assured,
however, until definite boundary has
been agreed upon by both parties. If
such an agreement can be reached,
neither party can advance into the terri
tory of the other, except as an act of
war, The existence of a border-land OF
doubtful ownership is the very thing to
promote endless disputes and make war
possible at any moment. The real thing
to be achieved, therefore is the settle
nent OF the boundary.

LehightOn hIus,e in Lansford.

The entertainment given in Town Hall,
Lansford, on Friday evening, under the
auspices Of the Reformed Church; was a
success to those who got il up and to the
large audience who lent their presence. The
Elocuticnist, L. L. Grumbine, filed his
part Of the programme we'll. But especially
his recitations of the countrvman telling
"How Rubenstein played" and "Tbe Dutch.

done. But the cream, ofthe entertainment
in the estimation of many was the music
This was furnished by Messrs. Koons and
Miller, of LehiRhtor, with flute and claronei
respectively, accompanied by Rev. Horn on
the organ. 1t alone was worth the price o
admission. The church realized about
seventy dollars. Correspondence Summit

the crash of the final down-eoming. The
interests Of the people of Philadelphia,
so largely involved in the management
OF this unfortunate corporation, impeTa-
lively demand immediate liquidation

taxation imposed upon the people in the
unwarnnted cost Of coal Is AN unbeara-

the plan Of reorganization which even
squints at the prospect oi cheaper fuel. +"

AT the County Antrim (Ireland) AS
sizes prisoner charged with criminal
offence was seized with a severe epilep-
tic fit. The Judge said: SIT is consid-
cred as established by law that a jury
sworn and charged with a prisoner, even
in capital case, may be discharged by
the Judge at the trial without giving a
verdict, ii necessity for such discharge
is made evident to his mind" The
prisoner was accordingly allowed to 60
to his home, the Judge simply asking
that some one enter into recognizance
10 see that the man twill, in theory, en-
ter into bail for trial" The Medical
Times, while recognizing the justice of
this decision, marks it as forming an
awkward precedent, for no disease is so
easily and frequently feigned as epilepsy,
and in none is there more difficulty in
detecting or demonstrating fraud.

A Hen Kills q Hawk.

Four miles from Aiken, ut the home OF
Mr.. I. G. Barker, yesterday morning, a pae
tronly hen Was cheerily clucking to her
GOwnly brood and ipdustriouply scratching
for their matutinal meal when there APP
peared IN the sky overhead huge hawk
whirling in concentric c;rclss. A sharp note
OF warning from ths patriarchal cock hurried
the feeding fowls To places of concsalment.
and, followed by the sharp cluck Of the old
hen, sent the infant spring chickens sourry.
ing beneath the protecting wings of their
mother. And none too soon came the alarm.
The next instant there was whirring sound
in the air. and, with wiogs close in TO his
body, coming head foremost like q shot out
OF cannon, the hawk landed among the
panic-stricken brood. But he had reckoned
without his host. The old hen had sand In
her gizzard and was blue. With her wings
extended and the feathers on her neck stand
ing apart like quilts upon the fretful pro-
cupipe she met the onslaught Of the bird to
prey. No sooner had he touched the ground
than she was upon him. The conflict. which
was witnessed by several reliable parties. was
as brief as it was brilliant, and before succor
could reach the plucky little hen abe had
stretched the fsathered pirate lifsless at her
feet. The hawk measured just four feet from
tip 20 tip, and was carried 10 Aiken and ex-
hibited. A lucky blow from the beak OF the
hen entered his eye and penetrated his
brain.
