Two Legs Lost.

An accident occurred last Friday
morning between President and Eagle
Rock, on the B., n. Y. & P. r., by
which Charles Lawson, section fore.
man, lost the use of both legs. He
was walking down the track about 10
o'clock and was overtaken by freight
train at sharp curve in the road
when he discovered his danger he at
tempted to escape, but iu jumping off
the track he evidently slipped and fell
with both legs across the rail. When
seen by the engineer the train was too
close to be stopped, and the locomo-
tive passed over his legs. Drs. Nc.
CuIlough and Cohners of OIL City and
Morrow of this place were summoned
and found that the amputation of the
left leg just below the knee was neces
sary. The right foot was 50 badly
mangled that much of it had to be
taken of. At last accounts the man
was suffering severely, and his physi.
clans are still in some doubt as to his
recovery. He is single man about
81 years of age, and Is quite well
known to many of our citizens, his
father having been a section foreman
at Hunters Station for several year

THE FIRE


half past three o'clock tho cry Of

Babcocks. Owing to the freezing
weather the machine was not kept

little time was consumed in getting it
ready.
The attention of all was then Iii.
rected toward the saving of the fine
residences of Daniel Walters and
Judge Reck. A favorable wind, the
almost superhuman efforts Of the cti-
zens and the small machines did much
toward saving these buildings, but had

along the cornice and side, and every
effort to arrest its progress proved fu.

which knocked it instantly. Had the
Judges house burDed, doubtless his
store building next to it would have
gone, in which event it would have
been almost impossible to have saved
Smearbaugh q Cos store, in which is
located the REPUBLICAN Office. Thus
it may be counted that the "Cham.
pion" was the means of saving $10,.
900 to $4,000 worth of property.

1900, divided as follows: Judge
Proper, building, $1,000. no insur.

The sums of money set down opposite the years in the above table purchased in the United States the following articles: Three barrels of four, 150 pounds of corn meal, 15O pounds of granulated sugar, 200 pounds of fresh beef, 100 pounds of corn, 100 pounds of pork, "A pounds of lard, 16 pounds of ham, 100 pounds of codfsh, 12 pounds of tea, 10 pounds of butter, 10 pounds of cheese, 4 tons of coal, bushel of beans, 12 pounds of po- tatoes, pairs of shoes, 20 yards of cotton cloth, 20 yards of prints, denins, 12 yards satinets and paid rent, which was estimated at $6O in 1868 and had declined to $49 in 1885. At the lowest point, then, it costs g family of four one-third less to live now than in 1868.
 These figures are interesting and cheering They are more profitable for consideration than calls to arms, or crazy declarations against capitalistic oppressors. This is a pretty good country to live in, after all, and it is easier to live well here than in most civilized countries.

pared with the situation in the North the
 South is enjoying prosperity, for in such
 commercial centres as New York and Chica-
 go trade has been almost paralyzed. Thou sands of houses that were being built in New
 York city when ths labor troubles began now stand unfinished, the contractors being told to wait awhile before proceeding with the work. And this leads us to remark that the wage-workers and the employers of the South have always succeeded in getting along more harmoniously together than the two classes in the North and West have done. There have been few strikes in the South this spring-scarcely half-dozen. And as re- suit of the comparative thrift, we predict that at the end of the year 25 per cent more of mechanics and laborers, in proportion to population, will be employed in the South than find employment in tke North, and they will receive 25 per cent. better pay. May the conservatism of the Southern wage worker long continue.

A New Chicago Amusement.


 The latest society novelty is what is known as the rainbow party. Already it has as- stunned the proportions of epidemic, al though it made it's first appearance in this city only a few weeks ago. All the young ladies in attendance wear neat little aprons of such design and color as the taste of the wearer may suggest The bottoms are care fully left unhemmed. Every young lady has number and duplicate numbers are kept in a box, which is generally placed in the neighborhood of the gentlemen's cloak room in charge of two young ladies. The gentlemen buy tickets which entitle them to draw from the box. The purchaser hay | ing drawn a number at once sets out to find the young lady wearing the duplicate num- | Der on her apron. The tickets are generally one dollar each, but at south side party given few nights ago they brought five dol | lars each.
 After all the young men have found their aprons, or rather their young ladies wearing the proper aprons, the master of ceremonies announces the conditions. The young men are to hem the aprons, and the one doing the neatest quickest and most careful piece of work is to receive prize. The young ladies supply their escorts with needle and thread, and at the call of time the fun begins with the eHorVS oI tue couteSuahls eo IAi eau l their needles. Young ladies strictly | forbidden to thread the needles of their I escorts, and violation of the rule compels the recipient of the favor to forfeit all l claims on the prize.
 After the needles are threaded and the young men are at work the scene is none | the less inspiring. At last time is called and committee judges the work. The l prizes are sometimes quite valuable. At a west side party recently the young man who WIS most handy with needle and thread carried home an elegant French mantsl l clock.
 The aprons are rallied off after the prizes are awarded, and when a jealous young 1 man attempts, as is often the case, to outbid | a rival for the possession of pretty girls apron, the prices brought by the innocent little aprons are amazingly large. At one rainbow party the sales amounted to seven- l ty-two dollars.
