LIVING on farm near Cherrytree,
six miles from Titusville, Pa, is Ralph
Alcorn, a boy ID years old, who has
the largest head for his years on rec
ord in that State. Three years ago
his measurement was for an 81 hat
Two years later his head had grown
to require an 81. Last season an 81
dicer was ordered for him, while this
week 81 was the size required. The
boy is very bright and quick-witted,
has wonderful memory, is cookbook
ing, we'll built, weighs 1O8 pounds,
and, though it is very large, his head
is regular in shape and perfectly
formed. In playing he is obliged to
abstain from running, for, as he says,
he is liable to become overbalanced
and to fall. The physicians say that
in the end he will experience no in
convenience from his big head, as the
body will in time catch up with his
head and thus even matters.

shot and killed by the Hon. James Me-
Names, in Usage City, Kansas. Mechanics
returned unexpectedly to his residence
and saw Mcdonnell suddenly taking his

Mcconnell started to run, but he had
gone only few steps when he received
two bullets in his back. He fell to the
ground and exclaimed that he was killed.
Mechanics gave himself up, making the
statement that Mcdonnell had caused the
separation Of himself and wife, and had
ruined the lives of both of them. Gen.

Mistakes Of Presidential Elec,ors.

The electoral messenger from Texas ar
rived in Washington on the 21st with the
ballot Of the Texan electors, accompanied
by Senators Coke and Reagan. He pre-
scented himself before the President pro
TEN, Ingalls,. To his surprise, Mr.. Ingalls,
after glancing at the envelope, formally
refused to accept the vote, stating as his
reason that the law provided for the off,
cial endorsement Of the envelope, by the
electors, and that the envelope just pre-
scented to him not having their endorse
ment could not be technically and legally
distinguished from any one of the numer-
GUS messages and letters which daily
crowded his desk. Senator Coke there
fore Immediately wired the Governor Of
Texas to reconvene the electoral college Of
that state in extra session, and two hours
later the electoral messenger from Texas
was or his way back to Austin, where he
will probably arrive in time to take part in
the special session of the Texas electors.
Mr. ingalls, served the same notice on
Senator German, of Maryland, the electors
of that state having also neglected to en-
dorse the envelope containing the certif-
cate. Mr.. German telegraphed the Gov
ernor of Maryland to call the electors in
extra session. Finally Mr.. Ingalls, notified
Senator Gray, of Delaware, that the certi-
ficate from his state was not in proper
shape, and call will also be issued by the
Governor of Delaware for the re-conven-
ing of electors. All this delay and extra
expense is caused by the neglect of the
electors to sign their names on the enye-
lopes as provided by law.

Senator Frye, of Maine, in an interview
regarding the Samoa question said: when
we made out the treaty with Samoa
Islands we distinctly asserted that in the
event of trouble between them and foreign
powers we would exert our good Offices in
their behalf. Yet, when their hour Of
trouble came, we allowed them to be dis
poiled of their lands and shot down like
beasts of the field without raising hand
to prevent it. If had my way congress
should instruct President Cleveland to re-
store the former status at once. II Ger
many refused, then we should compel her,
think. Firm, decisive action is all that
is necessary. I do not believe that war
would follow. There is no nation that
cares to 60 to war with us. So long as
they can accomplish their purposes and
defraud us Of our own rights through the
medium Of diplomacy, they do not need to,
but under no circumstances should we
avoid war by weak and pusillanlmous
policy."

Jacob Kingsburg to recover $50 for
services rendered as rabbi in saying
prayers for the repose of the soul Of
the father of the defendants, who died
q few months ago; for teaching the
Kingsburg brothers the Hebrew prayer
for the dead, and for preparing an in
scription to be placed on the tomb.
stone of their deceased parent. The
elder Kingsburg was devout belieyer
in the orthodox Jewish faith. The
sons are not strict religionists, and
were unfamiliar with the prayers and
rites; hence it became necessary to re-
ceive instructions after their fathers
death. The defendants claim that the
services were of no value.

The following news, dated January

There was a disturbance among the
canal laborers yesterday at Culebra,
owing to reduction in wages.
About 1900 struck work, and, joined by
the rabble,' tried to prevent, by force,
others from working. They entered the
trenches and drove them from the works.
The small military force on hand was I'M
able to keep order, and there was much
excitement and business was suspended.
Reinforcements will reach Culebra to-day,
and it is expected that order will be re-
stored after the ring leaders are arrested.
This is the first symptom of trouble con-
sequent upon the failure of the canal COM
pany in Paris.

dashed its glo7es against the sky on the
night following the opening of the Brook

awarded the contract and adopted the pyro-
technic programme, which will cover an
hour and half, beginning at s o'clock in
the evening. A presidential salute OF
aeriel maroors, exploding at height OF
500 feet. will open the affair. 1t will close
with simultaneous flight of $500 inn
mense rockets. Those who remember the
swish and roar and fuddy confagration in
the clouds when 1000 rockets were fred

Boone, Iowa, with their plausible scheme
for railroad from Boone to St. Paul, are
in durance vile. They had row among
themselves and one of the party gave the
scheme away. The fellows are out on

demanding donations for locating depots,
etc. They have had rich harvest. getting
considerable money from the towns
through which they passed, and securing
some in Boone. On the information filed
before Justice Franks, Charles Evans, the
leader of the surveyors, was arrested, and
he is now charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses. The sum collected
in Boone amounts to about $3.50, but
more would have been obtained but for the
