The Bedford primaries will be held on
a" Saturday, June 18th, and the County Con-
" vention on June 18th. Voters are required
" to express their choice on their ballots fog
" the various candidates TO be nominated.
" What is q little singular is that J. II, Jong-
" CHECKER, the Chairman, and L. W. Mn
mich. one of the Secretaries, both trained
" with the independents in lSS2, and yet
. there is less trouble in hat County and II
. has under their wise management been
" redeemed from Bourbon rule. Bedford is
now a Republican county. What ascathing
" comment this is on Scullism and Doodle
"Gang methods I'-Meyersdale Commercial.
Lordi Lord how this world is
given to lying Every voter in this
county whose memory will extend
back four years, knows that in the
campaign of 1882 the Commercial
constantly denounced Mr.. Longer
ecker as a ~stalwart, and supported
Captain Conley as the Independent
candidate for Senator, even refusing
to take down the Captains name af-
ter he had withdrawn from the con-
test. Nothing but the well known
righteousness of an idiot can account
for so false a statement at the pres
ent time. The Commercial well
knows that Mr.. Longenecker is a
prominent candidate for the Con-
gressional nomination in this dis
trict, and it maliciously and devil
ishly tries to damn him by profess
ing to commend his course as an
Independent. In its crazy malice
it must suppose that all recollection
of the campaign Of 1882 has faded
from the memory of the Republicans
of this county, else, while hoping to
impose upon the public its lying
charge that Nh. Longenecker was an
Independent, it must also have cal
culated upon their forgetting that
its own candidate for Congress,
Francis ]. Kooser, Esq, bolted the
State, district and county tickets and
assisted to purify the party by
placing the present Democratic State
Administration in power. Only on
the ground that it is possessed
of a devilish malice toward all
can the course of the
Commercial in knocking the scab off
the old and slowly healing sore, be
accounted for. The former indie
pendents who are now seeking nom
nations at the hands of the Repub-
licans of this county, if they hope for
success, should have its editor i'm
INJURED in a mad house, or, better
perhaps, in an asylum for the feeble
minded, until after the election is
over. If this cannot be affected, let
them fall to praying to be saved
from such friends AS is their former
organ, the Meyersdale Commercial.

THE Secretary of the Treasury es-
Inmates that the ordinary expenses
of the government including the
sinking fund for the fiscal year 1887
is s339,5S9,000, and the total esti-
mated revenue of the United States
for the same period is s315,000,0O0.
The deficit therefore for that year
will be s24,5S9,000. Yet in the face
of this anticipated bankruptcy Of
the Treasury, Congressional cranks

list aggregating s100.000,000, and

from which we derive the bulk of
our income.

A Womap's Adventure.

ST. JOHNS, N. s., May 20.-From
st. Georges bay or the west coast of
Newfoundland, comes the following
extraordinary story:
A French vessel arrived here yes.
terday from st. Malo, bound to Point
au Choix. She came for the pur-
pose of landing Miss Louise Journ-
eaux, who was picked up at sea from
an open boat about 20 miles off the
Island of Jersey. The lady, with a
gentleman named Farne, went boat
ing on Sunday evening, April Sth.
Her companion let one oar slip, and
in attempting to recover it he lost
the other, and jumped overheard to
recover them.
The wind was fresh, and there
was q strong current setting in from
the land. The boat fast drifted be-
yond Farne's reach, and he was com
PEELED to swim for land. Miss Journ-
eaux, alone in the beat, drifted to
sea, and for forty hours she lived in
solitary agony until rescued BY the
French vessel.

The Bomb Plot.

CHICAGO, May 2l.-The Grand
Jury is now in possession of all the
material facts in the dynamite con-
spiracy, SO far as the presumption
shows the guilty parties to be Au-
gust Spies, Schwab, Parsons and
Fielden. Evidence that would I'M
plicate others not yet apprehended
and among them the man who
hurled the bomb, has been withheld
by the authorities for their own rea-
sons. The testimony at the hour OF
adjournment yesterday, when most
of the Arbeiter Zeitung printers bad
been examined, made it plain that
for months past the Anarchists had
been secretly preparing to attack the
police with dynamite and other
agents of destruction. The jury de-
sired to know the extent of this
conspiracy before indicting the
lesser conspirators whose guilt might
be equal to the others if the evidence
was forthcoming. The police, many
of the jurors thought, were keeping
something back. perhaps to make
their case the stronger when brought
into court.
One juror said that the evidence
is overwhelming but he meant the
evidence against the elder Spies,
Schwab, Fielden and Parsons.
There is little evidence that would
warrant the jury in indicting Lingg
and three or four others for the same
offense alleged against the. first
named. At the same time there is
good reason to believe Lingg and his
fellows are as guilty as the other
crowd. Strong testimony tending
to support this view was given by
R. b. Fuller, the manager for
Pribyl Bros, dealers in guns and
fixed ammunition. He testified that
for some time previous to the riot
purchases of guns and heavy reyol-
vers we're made at his store by poor
ly dressed men whose actions excit-
ed the firms auspiclons. Some
times these men would call in a
party, four or five of them together,
and lay out their money for weap-
ons and ammunition. These men
some members of the Grand Jury
think, according to Judge Rogers
instructions, can be indicted for a
capital o%ffense, provided the. police
disclose more evidence.
The police, it is understood, claim
to have the bomb-thrower in custo-
dy. 1t is further said that the evil
dence by which they hope to con-
vict him is made up mostly of the
confessions of Anarchists who were
induced to talk on the promise OF
immunity. The police deny this.
The testimony of Captain Setback
and the Detective who have been
working to apprehend the bomb
throwers is being heard to-day, and
it Is expected that before evening
indictments will be found.
This morning Theodore Fricke,
Secretary of the Socialistic Printing
Company, went before the grand
jury. He took with him the books
of the Arbeiter Zeitung. The jury
wanted to find out how much mon-
ey had been expended by the man
ayers of the paper outside of the reg
ular line of the publishing business.
John A. Henry, who was arrested
for distributing Socialistic pam
phlets on tSe streets, was before
Judge Collins this morning, when
his petition for release on a writ of
hdbeds corpus was argued. The
Judge refused to grant it. Henry
was then brought before Jurtiee
Mech and fined SIS.

New York, May 21.-As Mrs.
Alice Pendleton, wife of Hon. George
B. Pendleton. our Minister to Ger
many, was driving with her daughter
yesterday afternoon, the horse be-
came frightened at a locomotive on
the elevated railway, but was soon
brought into subsection by the driv-
er. He remained very nervous.
however, and on reaching Central
Park, near the Webster statue, took
fright at something again and tried
to run away. He plunged SO fear
fully that the driver was thrown from
his seat, but he pluckily held to the
lines and was dragged one hundred
and fifty feet. When the driver fell
both ladies screamed and jumped
from the vehicle. Miss Pendleton,
who sat on the right, was first. She
fell on the grass border. Mrs. PEN
dleton fell on the road, upon her
head. The horse ran fariously four
or FIVE rods further, and brought up
with its head in lilac bush.
Meantime. Mrs. Pendleton had
been picked up, quite dead. from
the gravel, and laid on the grass by
the roadside. Policemen Hail got
some water, and with that and the
practice of artificial respiration
taught him by the Society for First
Aid to the Injured, he restored Miss
Pendleton to consciousness. She
was suffering from shock and from
severe bruises of the face and scalp.
An ambulance took her to the Pres
byterian Hospital. A wagon from
the park stables removed Mrs. Pen
dleton's body to the Arsenal. Driv-
er Reilly was not much hurt. The
harness was not broken and the car
riage was uninjured. A policeman
arrested Reilly.
1t was not known that the dead
woman was the wife of ex-senator
Pendleton until Frank K. Pendleton
came to the arsenal in the evening.
He had learned the news by going
to the livery stable in search of his
mother and sister, having become
anxious at their long absence. An
inquest was held and the driver was
exonerated from all blame. The
body was removed to Mr.. Pendle-
tons house.
Mrs. Pendleton and her daughter
left Nj. Pendleton in Berlin two
months ago and came to this city.
The wife of a son of Mr.. Pendleton,
Frank X. Pendleton, lawyer, of No.
los East Thirty-fifth street, was sick,
and they came TO nurse her. She
died recently. Mrs. Pendleton aud
her daughter intended ito return to
Germany very soon.
Mrs. Pendleton was 81 years old,
and was married in 1916. She vas

Scott Key, the author of The Star
Spangled Banner" and a sister of
Philip Barton Key. who was killed

niece of Chief Justice Roger B. Ia
ney. The family have fine houses
in Washington and Cincinnati, and
a cottage at Newport. Miss Jane
Frances Pendleton is twenty-five
years old, and there is another
daughter. Mr.. Pendleton, after serv-
ing many years in Congress, was a
candidate for Vice President on the
Mcclellan ticket in 1864, and was a
United States Senator from Ohio
from 1879 until 1885.
The condition of Miss Pendleton
was to-day reported much improved.
She was said TO be out of all danger
and only suffering from weakness
consequent upon the shock.

A bill has been reported to the

amendment creating and defining
the Office of Second Wee President.
1t provides that in case of the re-
moval, death, resignation, or consti-
tutional disability both of the Pres
ident and Vice President the office
of President shall deyolve on the
Second Vice President, who shall be
voted for on distinct ballots at the
same time and in like manner and
for the same term as the President
and Vice President by the electors
appointed by the several States. 10
case of the removal of the Vice Pres
ldent from Office, or his death, resig-
nation or constitutional inability, or
when the Vice President shall exer-
else the office of President, the Sec
ond Vice President shall be Presi-
dent Of the Senate, and he shall also
act as such in the absence of the
Vice President from the Senate, but
shall have no vote unless the Senate
be equally divided.

olution says:

The news OF the defeat of Messrs.

majority by which Speaker Carlisle

calculated to throw a damper over
the feelings Of all friends of either

following soon after these Telc-

sively that Morrison and Hurd

It Is now well known that one John
