Numbered with popular games with mar bles among English boys is the one known as snops and spans. One player shoots his mar ble to little distance, and his opponent trie. to strike, or 'snop," or at all events to shoot within a span of it; in either case he take: the marble. If he misses, or shoots beyond the span, the first player takes up his marble from the spot where it rested and shoots al that of the second. They continue shooting in this manner till either one or the other i: snopped or spanned The game is then begun again by the winner.
 Picking the plums'' is another interesting game. A line is drawn on the ground, along which each player places a certain number of marbles. At this line the players shoo their jaws in turns from a given point Int marbles knocked off the line become the prop erty of the striker and the game continues until no marbles remain. The marbles shoult be placed as close together as possible withou actually touching.

Fashion Notes.

Wash dresses for girls in their teens are made with belted yoke waists and full sleeves, five tucks forming the yoke and top of the sleeves, or else shaping the wrists. The skirts are of four straight breadths simply hemmed.
 A bracelet appealing to fair equestrians is one known as the horseshoe and crop brace let. In this the crop forms bracelet with overlapping ends, held together with dia- mond horseshoe.
 Lisle and silk stockings are striped horizon tally from toe to heel, or embroidered or open worked, while some are both open worked, edged and embroidered. The newest idea is to carry such ornamentation round to the back of the ankle, and not to be content to have it only on the instep and ankle.

 Marble Games-The Industrious Habits
 of Birds Told in Rhyme.
 The marbles now played with appear to be of modern invention, but we have every req son to believe that the ancents had many games in which round, water worn pebbles, nuts, and other small things that could be easily bowled along were used as marbles There are many different kinds of marbles. Those made of agate are prized above every other sort, and, indeed their pre-eminence is fully justified by the exquisitely beautiful vening of some of them and the rich and har monious coloring of others. Alleys are made of white marble striped and clouded with red and when this color predominates they are called blood alleys. These marbles rank next in value to the agates. Taws or stoneys, of brown marble, streaked with darker tones of the same color, form the third class; French taws of stained or col ored marble the next; the gaudy Dutch marbles of glazed clay, painted either yellow or green, and ornamented with stripes of a dark color, constitute class the fifth, while the unpretending yellowish clay marbles, or commoneys, form the very lowest class, and are held in little repute by those who can pro cure the superior kinds In many games with marbles considerable skill is required To shoot, or fillip, taw with precision is no easy task; this operation is performed by placing the taw upon the inside of the fore finger and propelling it with the nail of the thumb. While a player is shooting his mar ble his opponent can compel him to knuckle tknrx Iz trf fl,.a J with the middle joint of his forefnger-this is to prevent unfair play Marbles should always be carried in bag. and never in the DOCkat

A Successful Test.

Engineer Tidd figured up the re- suits of the water works test, as yester- days train was leaving and gave the following results: At the commence of the twenty-four hours test the pump raised water at the rate of 955.- GOO gallons per day At the close it was pumping at the rate of 1,560,0OU gallons in A hours. This latter quantity would furnish sufficient wa ter to throw streams from one inch nozzles upon 30 different fires all blazing at once.
 The Boston engineer was more than satisfied with the test. Usually, where he has made tests of water works throughout the country, the flow Is strongest at the start, weakening to- ward the close; but i'll this case he found it exactly the reverse, the wa: CT coming into the well faster at last than at first. All the metal work is steel, stand pipe, boiler an1 street mains, so that the plant corresponds in durability with the permaDence of the well-Phenix Herald

Silver Nuggets From the nassa ampa.


 James Daily, who Is in town from the lower part of the Hassayampa canyon, brought with him some of the nuggets of pure native silver, recently found by Mexicans, on the surface. Many prospectors have been out for days hunting the ledge from which these must have come, but so far without success. Some are con siderably mixed with spar, and are rounded over as if they had been rolled some distance in a stream. Others are ragged, as if just taken out from the ledge. It IS reported that chunks of horn silver as big as ones fist have also been found. Who knows but in these deposits we have the veritable "planchas de la plata" of Arizona, in the vain search for which so much blood and treasure have been expended in the last two or more gen. erations? The region about the can yon of the Hassayampa, between Wal nut Grove and Wickenburg, is com paratively "terra incognita," and lit tie has been done, if we except the efforts of Jim Mahoney, who has open ed a good ledge or two of great prom ise.-Prescott Journal-Miner.

SUICIDEAT MASONTOWN.
James Jewellers Terrible Act of Self
Destruction.
Uniontown Standard.


James Lewellen, who committed
suicide at Masontown yesterday, was
deranged. He was 68 years old and
much broken in health, and for sew
eral months past his ailments had
been quite painful, so that it is be-
lieved that they affected his mind.
In fact no other reason can be as
signed. He was living happily with
his wife whom he married four years
ago; all his children are prosperous
and happy; he had no dissipitated
habits, and his financial affairs were
unembarrassed. His wife had spok-
en- repeatedly of his strange actions
to her neighbors. On one occasion
he had requested his son David to
ask another son John if he would not
assist him in paying for his winters
coal, that he was not able to do SO,
though he was known to have plen-
ty of money lying idle.
The deed was committed in a
wash house a few yards from the
house. He calmly severed the veins
and arteries under his right ear, laid
the razor on a barrel and went and
stood over the sink to bleed. His
movements about the wash house
were traced by the blood, which
flowed from his throat as he walked
about.
AS he was crossing the yard to re-
turn to the house he was met by his
wife who drew quite near to him be-
fore she discerned what he had DONE
To her startled cry of ooh, why did
you do it?' he made no answer, but
climbing the steps to the porch sat
down in a rocking chair and expired
in few minutes, not however before
some of the neighbors had been sum-
moned.
There will be no inquest as the
cause is well understood and several
persons saw him die. The funeral
occurs tomorrow at l o'clock. His
son Lee, of the Connellsville schools,
passed through town yesterday ev-
ening on the way home, going from
here to Brownsville to catch the ear
ly morning boat.
James Lewellen was son of John
Lewellen who lived at Morgantown,
w. Va. The father lived to be SO
years old. One morning little girl
went into his room and told him to
come to breakfast. He said he would
in minute. Presently noise as of
some one falling was heard, and on
going to the room the family found
him lying on the hearth, dead. He
had died of heart trouble.
James came into Pennsylvania
when young and worked at his trade
of blacksmithing nearly fifty years
ago, with John Richards, whose shop
was on the Morgantown road, near
the old Judge Nixon place, six miles
south of Uniontown. He subse-
quently lived at Old Frame, and fin
ally went to Masontown, where he
has lived for many years.
OF his brothers, Jeremiah lives in
Illinois. Jacob in Connellsv;lle, and
Samuel died in Florida of cholera.
A sister, Mrs. Beals lives in Kan
sas.

stipulated purpose to destroy COM
petition, limit the product of the
combined establishments, and there
by increase the demand and enhance
the price of the manufactured article.
By speculative manipulations the
price of farm products is advanced,
but it is after the farmer has parted
with possession. The supply of
manufactured articles is limited, the
price increased, labor curtailed and
the people burdened with enormous
tribute to trusts and monopolies.
AS there is no provision of the
constitution Of the United States
comforting upon Congress jurisdic-
tion over these subjects, excepting
the clause concerning the regulation
of commerce among the several
States, ample relief cannot be had
without State legislation.
l recommend that every trust,
combination or conspiracy entered
into by individuals, natural or cor
porate, for the purpose of destroy
ing or limiting competition in the
production, or of advancing the price
of any of the commercial necessaries
or comforts of life, be declared I'M
lawful: and that every person violat-
ing any of the provisions of the law,
or counselling or directing the same
to be done, or acting as an officer,
agent or attorney of any corporation
in the violation thereof, be deemed
guilty of a felony, and in case of a
corporation, that its franchises shall
be forfeited to the State, and pro-
ceedings at once be taken for that
purpose.
IMMIGRATION.
1t is especially desirable that some
effective plan be adopted to encour-
age immigration into the State. Its
resources are so extensive and varied
as to meet the wants of every class.
Our immense stretches of timber
lamps, and wonderful coal and other
mineral deposits, have already at
tracted the attention of capital, both
at home and abroad.
We want especially the agricul-
list. He will find here cheap, pro-
ductive lands, an equable climate
and favorable geographical posi-
ton.
Fully third of the State is level
and slightly rolling and equal in
productiveness to any of the United
States, while there is hardly a por-
tion but will yield abundantly to the
hand of industry. The thrift and
prosperity of our Swiss and German
settlements but indicate how GER
tainly our mountain lands here will
respond to the touch of intelligent
industry.
/ recommend the enactment of
such a law, and the appropriation of
such sum as, in your wisdom, will
best accomplish the end in view.
May the wisdom of your work as
sure the promotion Of the general
wellfars. f. W. WILSON.

THE MORGANTOWN RAID.
Personal Renaissance of the
Days of '6I.
The Expedition That Went Out to Meet
the Rebels Who We're Marching
Upon Pennsylvania.

Capt Jas. abraham in Uniontown Standard.
Most Of our command having been
out day and night without full ra-
tions, the novelty of the situation be-
gan to lose its charms. The citizens
of Grafton being farther removed
from the borders of Pennsylvania
than those of Morgantown did not
seem to entertain strangers with the
same big hearted hospitality. In
fact they did not fall on our necks,
nor-so far as my observation went
salute us with single kiss, nor
even invite us to come in and break
bread and eat salt with them. But
three or four hundred hungry and
thirsty men in time of war are more
or less inclined to become law unto
themselves; especially is this likely
to be the case in unprotected villages
where the police regulations are not
very good. So it was here, and in
order to meet the emergency we
made detail to visit each family in
the place and order them to prepare
dinner for certain number of sol
diers by IL o'clock meridian and in
case of refusal to read the riot act.
This arrangement seemed to have
all the elements of success, and /
have no doubt would have panned
out beautifully could we have shut
off the news constantly coming from
the front. About IL o'clock a rumor
got afoat that the enemy was com
ing down from both Philippi and
Clarksburg-half an hour later we
were surrounded and would in all
probability be butchered or prison
ers on our way to Richmond before
noon and before the hour named for
dinner the whole thing miscarried
and collapsed and fully 30 per cent
Of our command were on their way

RAILROAD DETERMINATIONS.

AT both the last regular and ex-
ira sessions of the Legislature, l call
ed the attention to the subject of
railroad discrimination in freight
and passenger charges, endeavored to
present some of the great wrongs in
licted upon our people, and recon-
mended such legislation as would
correct the evil and protect the in
terests of this State. The injustice.
the injury, the whitening effect upon
our industries are so apparent and
well-known, by every thoughtful
man, that it is unnecessary to repeat
them. A large majority of the States
of the Union have regulated these
subjects by statutory laws, and the
authority to do SO has passed beyond
the domain of legal contention.
The Interstate Commerce law has
been in effect about two years, and
experience has thoroughly demon
strated the wisdom of the Act, and
rendered it comparatively certain
that it will never be repealed, or
changed, except to prevent evasion
and violation of its remedial provis-
ions.
Our shippers have received great
benefits under che operation of this
law; but in order that they may be
secured in the full advantages to be
obtained, it is essential that COM
mission should be created, under au-
thority of the State, whose duty it
should be, amongst others, to ascer-
tain whether said law is being viola
ted, against the interests Of any Of
of the people Of this State, and
