To Reduce the Mexican Arrox

CRY OF MEXICO, Sept President
Diaz is maturing plan for the reduction
OF the army, which it is intended shall be
composed solely of volunteers. 1t IS be-
lieved as far as can be judged at present, i,
would have the effect of eIiminting the
criminal and otherwise undesirable ele-
ments from the army which it is said will be
hereafter principally used on the northern
and southern frontiers, and in the territory
occupied by Indians. There are large
number of officers supported ON the re-
tired list, and if these are disbanded it will
effect saving to the country of several
millions annually. So as not to offend the
more than one hundred and fifty generals
and other officers in proportion. If the
presidents plan is carried into effect. il is
supposed many of these officers would find
employ in the National Guard. and
other services of the states.

the American women and citizens for
money to help her in her distress. The

native of Texas. Her husband was county
judge of Hidalgo, and being wounded in
the foot by one Max stein in June last, he
crossed the Rio Grande to Reynosa, Mex,
to secure medical aid.
Stein, 1t appears from the letter, perse-
cuted the woman with his attention and on
one occasion seized her by force and at
tempted to make her comply with his
wishes. She was i'll several weeks after and
gave birth to dead child. After recovery
Stein still followed her, using threats and
also circulated stories OF slanderous nat
ure concerning her.
Finally she met him Sunday night, Au-
gust IL, in Rsnosa, and on his renewing
his threats she shot him through the
heart. For this she was arrested and is
now in prison at Matamoras. She begs
that money be sent to her there. or to Don

Potato Blight Means Hunger, Ruin and

LONDON. Sept. T. Michael Davitt writes
as follows regarding the potato blight: "I
have visited large section OF Ireland dur
ing the past week. and everywhere found
abundant confirmation of the report that
the potato crop was failure this year. 1t
is needless, after the experience of 1879 and
1855. to inform people who know anything
about Ireland that this involves starvation
for large proportion of the inhabitants:
for another section 1t means insolvency.
while upon the whole commercial system
of the country it will bring general deprss-
son.'

of attempting to awaken the preju-
dices Of the old soldiers of the State
by garbled presentations of Governor

Board OF Pardons.

At meeting of the Board Of Par
dorns at Harrisburg Tuesday afternoon
s. B. Boyer, Esq, appeared for Philip
A. Huber, of Sunbury, who, in 1888,
stole large sum of money from the
Adams Express Company. The argu-
ment was that Huber had restored thu
greater portion of the stolen funds and
had been sufficiently punished. A
pardon was asked for George Reimer,
of Lancaster coanty, who is serving a
sixteen year term in the penitentiary
for arson and breaking Jail. 1t is said
that Beimer Is dying of consumption
and can last but short tims. The
case of the Nicely brothers, of Somerset
county, under sentence of death, was
continued until next meeting. AT the
meeting held the same evening the
board took action in the following
cases from Northumberland county:
Emanuel Smiley, outrage on female,
pardon recommended; Philip A. Huber,
larceny and embezzlement, refused.
This strikes the average reader as
being little far-fetched as far as just
ice Is concerned. If the State Board
of Pardons can recommend for pardon
a dastardly villain who attempted to
outrage little girl and refuse pardon
to a man who has sufficiently paid the
punishment for his crime-paltry EN-
bezzlement compared to the greater
crime-their consciences must be very
elastic. The man Smiley should b'
strung up by the thumbs, and such
criminals as Huber treated like princes
in comparison with their respective
crimes.-S,tnbaEy Neaos.
