STILL BETTER. error occurred
in the notice of our County Commits
sioners to bondholders to present their
bonds at their Office for payment on
April lst, 1887. 1t should be April
1886 and this makes the outlook for
the complete liquidation of the county
debt still better. Their annual finan
cial statement, which will appear in
the JoURN AL in supplement form for
several weeks, is so explicit that all
can understand and every taxpayer
should give it close perusal. This
document gives clear inform alton a.
bout the financial part of our coun-
ty administration, and a repetition of
figures and facts in this column would
censeque ntly be superfuoLs.

LAND FOR THE PEOPLE.

A very important bill was the one
passed by the Senate the other day,
opening to settlement 100000
acres of the Sioux reservation in Da-
kota. Settlers upon this land will
have the benefit of the Homestead
law, but the small sum of fifty cents
an acre must be paid, the proceeds to
be used for the $4,000 Indians ON the
reservation.
There is no doubt that this magniii-
cent domain, four times as large as
the State of Massachusetts, and con-
sisting of as good agricultural land as
can be found on the continent, will be
rapidly taken up by hardy settlers.
1t is of the highest Importance that 1t
should be rescued from the grasp OF
the land spectators, rich corporations
andAlien landlords who have been al.
lowed to get possession of so large a
portion of the public lands
Of the original public domain, SO
vast in its extent, but small area
yet remains for settlement. 1t is the
first duty of the Government to eXer.
else care that it should be reserved
for those who wish to establish home
steads. The abuses that have pre-
vailed in the management of the lands
have been of the most culpable char
acter, and although it is too late to
undo much that has been done in es
tablishing great landed estates which
in the future will be the source of op-
preston, yet it is not too late to give
the people the fullest and most equa
advantage of that which has not been
monopulized by corporations and by
alien as we'll as native land barons.-

DEATH called away another hero of
this country in the person of General
W. S. Hancock, on Tuesday, Feb. 9th.
For several days the General had been
confined to his bed with a malignant
carbunkle on the back of his neck,
which finally caused his death. Gen.
Hancock was almost 62 years of age
and his heroic and conspicuous career
as soldier, particularly during the
late war, have made his unexpected
demise case of universal sorrow and
sincere regret. He is native of
Norristown, Pa, where his remains
will probably be inferred. The body
lying at the residence of the family;
at Governor s Island, N. z, is being
embalmed by members of the post.
The General leaves bis widow and
three grandchildren, and shortly after
the sad news had been wired abroad,
messages of coincidence began to come
to Governors Island. The people at
Norristown, his old home, received
the shocking news with profound sor-
row, and the whole country mourns
and manifests its feelings by half
masting flags and tolling of bells.
And thus the ranks Of great men and
soldiers are being thinned by the
common enemy-death.

considerable interest manifested here
over the discovery OF what is consider
ed unmistakable evidence of the exist
ence of oil in this district. Thomas
Springer, in search of water, bored a

plugged. The night afterwards there
was terrific explosion in the well,
which blew out the plug and frightened
the people of the neighborhood. A
second report of the same character
was afterwards heard, and gaSsy
smell came from the well. \ pump
has been inserted, but the water cannot
be used on account of its greasy char
acter \ company Is to be organized
at once TO continue the boring.

STRIKERS MASSING.
Preparing to March in a Body to
the WorkS-Letters of Death.

Ar. PLEASANT, Pa, Feb. The
strikers held meetings at different pla.
ces throughout the coke regions to-day
and decided TO march in body to
Scottdale tomorrow to attend Il mass
meeting.
The week closed yesterday with sew
eral occurrences of Il character which
show the determination Of the despara-
tion of the strikers. A number Of the
men who have been working in the pits
received letters bearing the insight of
death with collins and daggers ram
pant, while inscriptions warned them
to stop work immediately under penal
ty of death. The misSivoS were spot
ted with blood and presented II very
sanguinary appearance. At noon yes
terday about forty strikers discovered
three men at work loading stock coke
at Boye's Bridgeport Works. The
workmen started to run when the
strikers gave chase, firing ut the fugi-
tiyes, and abandoning the pursuit when
they were satisfied that the men would
not attempt to return to work. The
night previous, when the cars were run
into the Boyle Works, band of strik-
ers armed with guns and revolyers lay
behind the ovens nearly the entire night
to prevent any attempt at the resump-
tion of work. The men are thorough
ly posted on every movement Of the OPP
orators, being in constant c0mmunica-
tion with friends in Pittsburg.
A Victim of Treacherous Ice.
WILLIAMSBURG, Feb. 6 jacob Det-
Ting was accidentally drowned here
this morning. He was an unmarried
man about ~ years old. the only sup
port of his widow mother. with whom
he lived, az l37 Second street. Det-
Ting was employed at the Luppert &
Kline furniture factory, on the South
side. For several days the employees
on this side of the river have been eros
sing on the ice. \ channel had been
cut under the Maynard street bridge by
workmen who were getting out ice.
Friday night this channel froze oyer,
but the ice was only about half IN inch
thick. This morning as j. w. A. kel-
" and Mr.. Rooms, both employees al
the Luppert factory. were crossing the
river on their way to work Dettling
was seen to disappear through the thin
ice. The men called for help and ran
towards the drowning man, but could
not reach him in time. Dettling went
down just as he stepped from the heavy
ice to the thin surface, and although
he was at the edge of the channel. he
seemed to have become bewildered.
One arm was found frozen to the solid
ice, while his head hung submerged i'll
the water. He was taken from the
water and removed to the engine room
of the factory, but all efforts to resus-
citate him proved futile.
