attributing all sorts of things to the in

this is misrepresentation. On the even

soldiers. About one third of the conven-

they clasped hands over the bloody chasm

THE EMPEROR rs DEAD.

William, Emperor of Germany and
King of Prussia, died last Friday
morning at $50 o'clock. After an ill
ness of several days he expired peace
fully and without pain, surrounded
by his family and the court officers.
The Reichsanzeiger gives the follow
ing details of the last hours of En-
peror William: On Wednesday when
his strength began to fail the En-
peror spoke repeatedly TO Prince VIII
liam about the condition of the Crown
Prince, and about political and mill
tarv affairs. Gu Thursday he talked
with his daughter, the Grand Duchess
of Baden, about the death of her son,
Prince Louis AT noon he asked for
Prince Bismarck, who came and con-
versed with him on the political stu
alton. The Emperor spoke clearly,
and thanked the Chancellor for his
services TO the country. Increased
feebleness soon followed, attended
with delirium. His voice became fee
bier and feebler, finally sinking to a
whisper. At o'clock he was so weak
that the members of his family. Prince
Bismarck and Count Won Moltke and
the servants of the household gathered
around the bed. The Emperor, sup
ported by the doctors, held the hand
of his wife on one side and his daugh-
ter's on the other. Prince William
stood alone at the head of the couch.
Chaplain Koegel spoke few words
of consolation, to which the Emperor
whispered occasional responses. AT
$50 the patient manifested extreme
weakness. and death seemed lmml-
nent Suddenly the Emperor rallied
and asked for Count Won Moltke and
Prince William with both of whom
he talked about the state of the army
and the Prussian people. He referred
to Germany's alliances with various
countries and the possibility OF war.
But during the latter portion OF his
remarks the fantasies of delirlum were
mingled with coherent utterances.
This temporary recovery of strength
lasted till ten o'clock. At frequent i'll
tervals he conversed in touching,
earnest manner with those about him.
Between 10 and o'clock he appeared
to sleep. At about o'clock it was
observed that serious change was
beginning TO take place III the Elm
peror's face, although there was again
a slight Improvement in his condition.
But at : o'clock il was seen that the
Emperor's last moments were near,
the members of his family were again
summoned TO his bedside, and at $50
the doctors declared that he was dead.
The Emperor was 81 years of age.
Emperor Williams son, who has as
sumed the regency, with the title OF
Frederick Ill, succeeds his father
as Emperor. He is suffering
from a cancer of the throat, and it is
thought that he cannot live more
than a few months at best. At his
death he will be succeeded by his son,
Prince William.

A WRECK. AND A HER0'S DEATH.

A fatal wreck occurred on the Penn
svlvania Railroad at Niger Cut, near
Huntingdon, Pa, last Monday morn
ing. An axle on coke car had
broken and thrown the train over on
both tracks, when the Western eX-
press train dashed into the wreck at q
fearful rate of speed. There was a
dreadful crash, and when the pasSen-
gers rushed forward they found that
the tender of the engine had been
completely telescoped in the forward
sleeper. while cars, ties and rails We're
piled up in frightful confusion.
The engine was a complete wreck,
being stripped of cab, smokestack,
and everything except the driving
wheels. The engineer of the express,
Robert Gardner was found with one
leg crushed to "a jelly, and firmly
wedged between the boiler and tender
of the demolished locomotive, with
the brass cocks on the boiler sunk
deep into the flesh, and the foot and
ankle slowly burning against the hot
boiler For two hours and a-half he
stood thus, with one hand upon the
lever, in the position he was in when
the eGaSh faHeD Xet t99pg4t the tbSfa2t9
man stood there, uttering no cry or
groan, but his first inquiry was for
the welfare of his fireman and the
passengers. He said, when first
found, Il suppose my poor firemen is
dead.
He talked calmly and told his res
cuers to take their time in getting him
out. Once he said: My God, why
don't they hurry up with the other
engine and get me out out Of here;
my leg is burning and | fear | cannot
stand it much longer" After about
two hours and a half another engine
pulled the wrecked locomotive from
the tender and the brave engineer
was released; he sank down from ex-
hauStion and expired while being car
ried into one of the uninjured coaches.
The death of this heroic man made Il
deep and sad impression upon the
minds of the passengers standing in
shivering groups upon the snow-cov-
cred ground. While still imprisoned
in the engine, some one had asked him
to take some liquor to stimulate him,
but he refused, saying, No, | never
touch it. -
The fireman, Charles Meyer, was
found under the third car dead, and
mangled fearfully; he was oiling the
engine, standing on the pilot and was
thrown under the train. a number
OF passengers were cut and bruised,
but no one, save the engineer and
tiremen, were seriously injured, though
several persons in the forward car had
hairbreadth escapes. Trains were de
layed ten to fifteen hours by the
wreck. The loss is about $4,000.

A VERY interesting story comes
from New Jersey. 1t seems that
Hugh Mckenzie one night last sum-
mer stopped at the house Of Farmer
johnson and asked for nights shell
ter. The farmer was not entertaining
tramps just then, so he refused. His
daughter Emma, however, being more
tender-hearted, begged until she got
her fathers consent tol let thepoor man
stay. He remained there ever since,
working for Johnson, and Miss Emma
and Hugh fell in love with each other.
Now it turns out that the supposed
tramp is the son of wealthy gentle
man of Scotland, who has just died
and left him 100000. The wedding
will soon take place, and it is safe to
say that Miss Emma will teach her
future daughters to always treat
tramps well.

M8. RANDALL AND HIS LITTLE BILL.
Mr.. Randall has gone and done

Mr.. Randall has gone and done 1T
at last,
That wonderful bill of his, about
which there has been so much talk,
has been placed before the country,
and its author proudly allows his
mighty mind to relax, conscious of
having done all that he could to please
the Pennsylvania Republicans by
whose grace he holds his place in
Congress. There can be no doubt
that Mr.. Randall has pleased the Uni
ted States of Pennsylvania, and there
can be no doubt but that he has made
himself solid with his Republican con
stituents. But as a measure in which
craftsmanship is an element, and In
which the common welfare of the
whole country is concerned, it is flat
failure. Worse, it is a ridiculous
farce
A few instances will show what the
bill is: Mr.. Randall would retain the
high duty on such necessaries of life
as salt and sugar, while the tax on
whisky is reduced one-half and on
brandies. Sc, is entirely removed.
In regard to the duty ON tin plate,
Mr.. Randall takes most remarkable
stand. The present duty is cent
pound, and even now all the people
are taxed in order that the one es-
tablishment making tin plate in thl'
country may thrive; Mr.. Randall not
only retains this duty, but wants to
increase it to two and one-tenth cents
a pound. He wants the high tariff
kept on the clothing the people wear,
but desires all the tax taken from to-
bacco, cigars, cigarettes, &c. Coal and
pig iron are still highly protected,
while there is a reduction of about D
per cent, on iron, steel, chemicals,
queensware, glass, &c.
The whole aim and purpose OF the
bill is to please the manufacturing
monopolists, who have already been
fattening too long off of the oppressed
people, while the desires of the con-
sumner are utterly disregarded.
The bill is such that even the Re-
publicans of the House eye it with
disfavor, and refuse TO assist its au-
thor in its consideration. We believe
that it is useless for the opponents of
Democratic principles to dilly-dally
any longer with Mr. Randall. They
NAV as well cut loose from him and
proceed to do the best they can for
the passage of their tariff bill without
any further regard for his opinions.
Let him flock by himself.

THE FUNERAL MONTH OF MARCH,

An observant metropolitan barber
savs that he can tell ones physical
condition by the state of the hair!
The Bible tells us that with his hair
gone Samson lost his strength. The
Romans considered badness serious
afIiiction and Julius Caesar was never
his poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open book
and one can readily trace IN its various
expressions, lines, changes and COM
pleyion the state of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright
and vet has a pallid brightness, the
face upon whose cheeks nature paints
a rose of singular beauty and nush,
more marked iii contrast with the
alabaster appearance OF the tofeleau
and nose and lower part OF the lace,
is one of those whom the skilled phy-
stefan will tell you some day dread the
funeral month of March, because 1t Is
then that consumption reaps It's rich
est harvest Consumption they tell
us is caused by this, that and the other
thing. by microbes in the air, by
micro organisms in the blood, by de-
ficient nutrition, by a thousand and
one things, but whatever the cause,
decay begins with cough and the
remedy that will effectually stop the
cause of that cough cures the disease
of the lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence ola vast
ing. To stop it effectually, a remedy
must be used that will search out the
cause, remove that and then heal the
lung and do away with the cough.
This is the power, special to itself,
possessed alone by Warmers Log
Cabin Cough and Consumption rem
edy. This is no new-fangled notion
of narcotics and pOisons but an old
fashioned preparation Of balsams,
roots and herbs, such as was used by
our ancestors many years ago, the
formula of which has been secured ex-
clusively by the present manutactur-
ers at great trouble and expense. 1t
is not a mere cold dryer. 1t is a sys-
-searcher and upbuilder anda con
sumption expelIant. Where others
fail, it wins, because it gets at the con-
stitutional cause and removes it from
the system.
J. W. Hensaw, of Greensboro, Pa,
on Jan. Is, 1888, reported that 'he had
derived more real benefit for the length
of time, from Warmers Log Cabin
Cough and Consumption remedy than
he had for years from the best State
physicians.
If you have a cough, night sweats,
positive assurance in your own mind
that you, oh-you, have no consump-
ton" and yet lose flesh, appetite,
courage, as your lungs waste away,
you may know that soon the funeral
month of March will claim you, un-
less promptly and faithfully you use
the article named. If other remedies
have failed try this one thoroughly.
If Others are offered, insist the more
on trying this unequaled preparation.
Some persons are prone TO consump-
ton and they should never allow the
disease TO become seated.
