AJACKsoN DEMOCRAT.
Perhaps the Only Man Living Who
Held ONCE Under jackson.

Judge Patton Of HicksviiIe, who was
in this city Saturday, is one Of the few
men living, If not the last, who held Of
flee under President Jackson. He was
appointed a Judge ofthe United States
court in Pennsylvania, by "Old Hick-
Ory," and filed the place with distin-
guished ability. The Judge is a we'll
preserved old gentleman and rich in
political lore Of the last half century
and still keeping pace with current
events of the day. He represented this
county one ,erm in the Ohio Legisla-
ture, but was defeated for denomination
because he had antagonized that pow
erful school book ring that has heen
bleeding the people of the state for SO
many years. He is not, of course, an
uncompromising democrat, but like so
many men Of the school he belongs to,
is said to have the courage to speak out
against measures and men that he be-
lieves to be wrong.-Defance Republi-

Gen. Rosecrans was the first man who
ever refined petroleum. He experi-
mented with it forty years ago. Peo-
pie said he was fool, but he went on
with his experiments. Presently, as

The Year ofGreat Disasters.

Judged by the record of its first six
months, the year 1889 bids fair to be re-
membered as the year of disaster all
over the world. During the month of
January there were no serious railroad
wrecks except the collision on the New
York, Pennsylvania & Ohio railroad, In
which eight persons were killed and as
many more seriously wounded, but
there were fifteen marine disasters, in
volving loss of 1856 lives, included
among them being the steamer Paris G..
Brown, which went down in the Miss
issippi river, costing the loss of II lives.
February and March are also singulary
free from railroad disasters, but the ma
rine losses in Feb. were 284, an increase
of 119 over January. During the same
month 20 persons lost their lives by a
railroad disaster In Belgium, 10 by a
wind-stOrm In Nebraska, 20 by the ter
rible hotel fire in Hartford, Conn.,, 200
/ by an earthquake i'm Costa Rica, 13 by a
cyclone in Georgia, and IL by powder
explosion in Wilkesbarre, Pa. In March
the marine losses further increased to
,351, the number being swelled by the
lag sailors of the German and American
war vessels who were drowned during
the hurricane at the Samoan Islands.
In May the foods began their work
of death and devastation. The first in
ttelligence came from Austria and Bo-
ghemia, where 1876 lives were lost. The
contamination was in the Conemaugh
Valley on the last day of the month,
when nearly 5000 persons persisted and
$40, 200, 900 worth of properly was des.
troyed. The month was characterized
by a frightful series of disasters. Thirty
persons were killed by an accident on,
the Pennsylvania road at Latrobe: 10
by railroad disaster at Armagh, Ire
land; 1000 by afire in China; 40 by a
falling market building in Mexico; 20
by a mine disaster in Austria, and 10
by q cyclone in Cuba. July we'll keeps
up the record with railroad, mine and
storm disasters. Altogether during the
first six months of the year nearly 49,
600 lives were lost in disasters of all,
kinds. Besides the loss of property in
vOlved In these disasters fire has swept
away property amounting to over $76,-
900, 900 in value in the United States
1t adds to the mournful record of the
six months that Suicides murders,
hangirgs, lynchings, and crimes of ali
kinds have also shown marked in
crease over the corresponding period
for many years past. Chicago Tribune.

Deafness Cant be Cured

By local application, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutionai remedies. Deafness is caused BY
an infiamed condition of the mucus lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
perfect hearing, and when It's entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the infa-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused BY catarrh which is nothing. but
an inftamed condition of the mucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness, Caused by tatarrh, that we
cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.

The amount of coal gas and oil that

produce something of vacuum in
Mother Earth sooner or later. The
present supply of gas is enormous. Sta
tistics for oil show that in 1888 Penn

Ohio, 10,OlO, ,s6s; West Virginia, 49,
44S barrels; California, 704, ,6l8; and 9TH

such a.. draft can be made and every
