In the embrace of a curvature of this noble
island of Britain, where the coast beheld by
the passing mariner shines before his eyes
with the pearly gloss and delicate simmer
of marble; where the land shoots out into
the sea, scorning, with its iron heel stanchly
planted, the thunderous shocks OF the hurrl-
cane or the more deadly tooth Of the Tipping
calm, and bearing on high at night its flaming
beacon, like the fabled giant defying the
stars with uplfted torch, stands a town
whereon no man with mind into which soft
thoughts may enter readily can gaze without
stopping to reflect.
In this little town, time and the handl-
work of man have wrought lovingly together.
And generous nature has backed them,
glorifying the land around with calm enrich
ment of intermingling trees, and broad fields
which pour their green or golden fruits
down the hillsides and along the vigorous
plains.
Beheld from distance, this little town
seems to dwell with something of the
shadowiness of an ancient picture upon the
English seashore.
Shadowiness one seeks as an element in pic
lures of a day which time has made dim
Greystone, in our own age, has this artistic
condition in perfection 1t is ready made
vignette to adorn the little social legend
which the gossips have handed down through
the century.
As this little town is now, say, so, with
scarcely change Of note to name-countmg
the laying of gas pipes and the ejectment, in
1874, of Tobias Pipes, the town crier, as moth
ing-was it in that year of grace. war, "a

There goes now, and there went then,
narrow pass up to the westward of the town,
out of the waste Of silver sand which the
water never covered, unless driven to 1t by
a conspiracy of moon and gale.
By two walls of rock, Spanned for the
footpath along the cliffs edge by a rude
bridge, looking from below, to rule the sky
with a slim and giddy flament; by great
protuberances of stone and rugged lunches
of chalk intermitting a sandy, rushy herb
age, with yellow grass in places and moist,
faint colored moss of the hue of the jelly
fish when it slowly oozeS to the surface OF
green salt water-you passed into verdant
lane, and the moan Of the surf sounded hol-
low behind you through the echoing ravine.
Along this lane, that broadened presently
out of the shadow Of trees and the intercept
ton Of hedgerows into a fair open road, you
wound your steps toward the town, in the
ripe summer time always losing the track
hundred yards ahead Of you behind the tall
crops of the fields; and when the roofs and
chimneys of the town were showing over
harvest crops to the right and the square
turret of Holy Trinity, with its gilt cross
standing like fame of fire against the sky
levelled its gray top with the green swell of
the adjacent cliff-until you came to house.

Pennsylvania Republican

Contrary to the expectations of q
majority of Democrats the state of
Pennsylvania redeemed its republican
reputation and elected James A. Beav-
er, of Bellefonte, Governor of Penn
sylvania by a plurality of 900. We
all know what this means The day
of bossism and corporations has come
again, and anti-discrimination and
other vital reform meanures must be
considered defeated. Mr.. Beavers
bitter partisan spirit is sufficiently
known to Democrats for them to eX-
pect any endorsement of Democratic
reform principles. The machine is
back in the old rut and oil that is left
for us is to take defeat gracefully and
try, try again the next time, If the
people of this state can afford to be
governed by the old machine bosses
we must simply make up our mind to
stand it.
There is little upon which to base
an estimate Of the Prohibition vote
but it will hardly exceed $4,000.

Sheriff Rowan's condition IS now
considered almost hopeless hy lis
friends. and it is admitted that since
his removal to Ercildoun he has become
worse rather than better. Though
quiet at times, at others he becomes SO
violent that several attendants are
needed to restrain him. He suffers
from insomnia, and is extremely rest
less, pacing exctedly Up and down
within the limits allowed him and
strongly resenting the restraint pat up
on him. The physicians are seeking to
secure as much rest for the patient as

Fire in q Gas Well Still Raging.

CoNNELSVILLE, Pa, Oct. 3l.-The
fire at the Standard gas well near Mt.
Pleasant, which originated yesterday
forenoon, is still raging and is hourly
gaining headway. The flames and
smoke, driyen by Il strong current of
air, leap from the mouth of the shaft to
Il heighth of 100 feet above the ground.
All efforts to check the fire have been
of no avail. a fire engine from Pitts
burg arrived tonight and the work Of
flooding the mine will be begun at once.
This will require several months. 1t is
thought that nearly three acres of coal
are now ablaZe, The amount of loss
cannot be estimated for the entire plant
will have to suspend operations for sey-
eral months, thus throwing 600 men
out of employment. The daily output
of the shaft was 800 tons, and in con-
sequence of its being idle, it will result
in the closing down of 500 coke ovens,
or one-twentieth of the whole C0nnelS-
vile region.
