Ii WAS very much to be hoped that
after the long session OF the legislature,
they would have done what business
they did well, but it seems such is not
the case They foolishly played with
the rape law, and left it in such shape
that the crime cannot be committed to q
person over twelve wears of age. There
is some talk of an extra session to
remedy the evil. Such laundering is
inexcusable. and many senator's and
members should be retired to private
life, in consequence. rs we have no use
for wooden headed statesmen. 1t Nigh;
be well TO ask what was Governor
Hoard doing at the time the bill was
approved. He is supposed to be the
state executive and to veto yiscious
bills. Does he approve without reading.
or does he read without understanding?
We would like TO suggest as proper
punishment that the members of the
legislature be requested to attend the
extra session at their own expense

The fact that DR.. Cronin, of Chicago,
q well known practicing physician,
should have disappeared from the face
Of the earth, and no trace of him can be
found, is another instance of the faulty
construction Of our police systems. only
equalled by the complete absence OF
Tascott. Only two theories in regard
TO Cronin is possible: either he was
murdered or skipped to avoid the PEN
atty Of some crime. The trunk mys-
terry developing at the same time leads
one TO suspect they are connected. but
whether Cronin was the victim or the
instlgator, the Chicago police have been
unable to determine.

A NEW scheme OF transportation is to
be introduced between New York and
Boston whereby, it is said. large pack.
sges Of mail and even cars containing
passengers can be whisked from one
place to another, distance of 230 miles
in less than an hour. This would be
equal to speed of four miles per min.
ute. An experiment with the new ma
chine was held in Boston in the presence
of many scientists, including Professor
A. f. Dolbear. of Tufts College, who
announced that he was thoroughly
satisfied OF the success of the system.
The single track is TO be carried on
tripods some distance above the ground
and the car will pass through coils OF
insulated wire at intervals. The scien-
tific principle involved is said to be that
By which hollow coil ofinsulated wire
will draw magnet into itself, and in

through coil, cuts off the current.

bing appears to be becoming epidemic
in Fayette county. Lewis Hunter was
in Uniontown Saturday. and late at
night started for his home at White
Rock. when three men sprang out Of
the bushes, grasped bis horse and de-
manded h:s money. Hunter fought,
dug his knees into the horse and the
morse and the spirited animal sprang
off through The forest. The highway
men shot after him. but did not hit
him, owing 10 the darkness. 1t Is ev-
ident others are profiting by the ter
.ror inspired By the McClellandtown
bana and under cover o! their fame
are operating, hoping the blame
may attach to the other OUTLAWS.
About two years ago q feud arose
between Dolph Sisler and John
DIETRICH, well-to-do farmers living
near Stewartssown. in West Virginia,
over the trespsss of Sisters hogs. Fire
was added 10 the feud not long ago by
Sisters preferring charges OF Illegal
liquor selling against DIETRICH, who
owns distiIiery, but which failed TO
be established, and DIETRICH was
acquitted. Last Sunday Allen and
Alonzo Sisier and George and Floris
DIETRICH, all near entaring manhood,
attended the Baptist Sunday-school at
Stewartstown. Soon bad blood showed
itself and the congregation were aston
ished to see the youths of each
family brandishing revolvers at each
other and starting in to fight.
A scene of wild confusion arose,
women and children screaming and
frantic. The few men present could
not quell the disturbance. They soon
had the church to themselves. and in
the desperate fight that ensued the
Dietrich family were badly used up,
Georges head was beaten up with q
revolver and the others being severely
hurt. Assistance arriving, the gang
was pat to fight, the Sisler boys Hes
ing to Uniontown yesterday. and are
now thought to be secreted at one of
the numerous coke works in this
region.
The blood-bespattered walls of the
church show the desperate nature Of
the contest. Great excitement pre-
walls in the neighborhood over the
outbreak. and the end OF the trouble
has not been seen.
