Brethren Who Do Not In Unity Dwell Go to
Court for Settlement.
John F. Scott and Joseph L. Scott are
brothers who have been engaged in the
stair building and wood turning business in
this city for % years, and in the ripeness of
years have diverged from. the path of
brotherly love. John f. has filed a
bill in equity in Common Pleas
Court No. 2, asking for light on the subject
of partnership settlement. John f. says
that originally he put $500 into the business,
while Joseph L. put in 5000. Plaintiff says
on April 1, this year, he gave defendant no.
tice of dissolution of partnership, alleging
that such action was a necessity on account
of the continued intoxicatlon of defendant
during four years previous. 1t is also
charged that defendant, among other
things complained of, confessed judgment to
John E. Baxter for 81, 5OO and that the firm
was not indebted to Baxter, had no dealings
with him, and from whom no money was re-
ceived. 1t is also charged that the defend
ant, Joseph L. Scott, has largely overdrawn
his share of the profits.
The Court is asked to enjoin Joseph L.
Scott from collecting debts owed the firm,
appoint receiver, and have an account
stated.

me that IN one year he has paid as high as

the valuation of his farm, would not be

scores of farmers who suffer equally as much

How, then, would you better the condition
of things on the old pike by turning it over
to the tarmers?"
"The State ought to take all these roads
in hand" replied the gentleman. 'The
turnpike must be kept mp. 1t is the main
road for all this section of Pennsylvania. 1t

wilderness by General Braddock's army,
and afterward being piked and traversed by
stages, it made the towns and villages along

their routes in these later days.

who travel upon it, there is not enough good
road furnished in return. The repairs 10
the pike are not in proportion to the tolls
charged. In the 20 miles drive between
here and Fulton county on the east the tolls
charged will aggregate 90 cents each way.
Last year exactly four men and two carts
were kept employed repairing these 20
miles. The old-time macadam of the pike
Is ISst disappearing under the process of
DouIderizing resorted to in these DAYS.
Now, continued the gentleman, sit is
impossible for the farmers of Bedford couu-

cannot realize cash for the products of their
farms, as farmers in other sections of Penn

The Groundless Prejudice Against Them
Doesn't Prevail Everywhere.
"If you get sick, 60 to hospital" +" said a
well-known citizen the other day. '1'm just
out of one, and went there of my own free
will. More than that, I went, practically,
against the wishes of my wife and children.
What for? Because preferred the services
of trained nurses and medical treatment
strictly adhered to, to wearing out the
strength and patience of my wife and chill
dren."
'It always struck me as being most ab-
surd, this sort of holy horror of being sent
to hospital. That's what hospitals are for,
and while there is no home in this city more
pleasant and in every way agreeable than is
my home, still preferred the hospital. Yes
my wife was at the hospital with me most of
the time, but 1 insisted on her going home
each night that she need not lose any sleep.
You ask her now and I'll guarantee she'll
tell you she is glad chose the hospital to

SUBURBAN BURGLARY.

Help Themselves.

Very Sick Man Allowed the Thieves to
Help Themselves.
A very mean burglary was committed in
the house of Dennis O'Donnell, on the river
road, short distance above CHARTERS sta
ton, on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie rail-
way, night before last, and fortunately the
burglars scarce got enough to pay them for
their trouble. Mr.. O'Donnell, who has
been lying very Ill for some
time, was awakened by five
men crawling through his chamber
window. As he was unable to defend him
self he decided to lie still and let the thieves
have things their own way, knowing that
they could not get much. They ransacked
the room thoroughly and investigated Mr..
O'Donnell's pantaloon pockets. In them
they found 81, and taking that and clock
IRON the mantel, left as they came.
Mr.. O'Donnell is a retired saloon keeper,
and as he is quite well-to-do, he can stand
the trifing loss bis nerves do not appear
to have been much shaken by the visit.

COOKING OATMEAL.

Unless Properly Prepared IL Is by No Means

There is no food equal to oatmeal, provided
it is we'll cooked, SAYS a well-known physi-
clan. When tell patients this am often
met with the response: "Oatmeal doesn't t
agree with me-" Then 1 ask how it is
cooked and get all sorts of answers. Scalded
and half boiled meal may be an excellent
food for cattle, but it is very unwholesome
as an item of food for human beings, and
brings the diet into bad repute.
My breakfast is the same every morning
when I am at home, and oatmeal is the
staple and indeed the only dish. insist on
the meal being cooked the evening before
and boiled up again for breakfast. Thus

Some OF the officials of the Georgetown
Custom House are wiser than they were a
few weeks ago. One day a strange box came
in bond, from Teheran, Persia, addressed %
a well-known Washington gentleman. In
due course of time it was opened for inspec-
tion and appraisal. Under a heavy layer
of damp cotton were several quarts of some
kind oil seeds.
No one could classify them, but several
samples were taken out and planted in a
convenient place. The owner of the box
was notified of its arrival, and in due season
came and claimed his property. He was of
course interrogated as to the nature of the

Not so have thought the great English
statesmen by whose influence enormous sub
sides were granted, and are still continued,
to steamship lines between England and the
United States Not so have thought the
statesmen of other countries through whose

that because the Norwegians, who man their
own ships, and, consequently, run them at
little expense, can find profitable employ

United States will run tilt with the Euro

carrying trade between the two hemispheres
In the face of existing facts it is strange, in
deed, that such an opinion should be enter

There are very few enlightened men in the
United States who have carefully considered
the subject who do not consider the restora-
ton of our foreign shipping matter of great
public Importance and who do not believe

that it will not be restored without govern

hope, fewer still who regard it's restoration
as important only to those who may be di-

Stanton, who recently completed his survey of the wonderful Colorado River, for his Den yer, Colorado Can n and Pacific rail- road, speaks thus of Ariznna's fertile valleys: "Wheat and other small grains were all harvested in the lower valleys early in May, and it would astonish some of our boas,ed agricul turisls to see the rich products and orchards in full bloom that two years work by brOken-dOwn conSunlp i've has brought out of the cactus plains near Yuma. One of the most success ful orange growers of Riverside, Cali fornih, told me recently that many portions of the Colorado valley, Gila and Salt Rivers, were far superior for oranges to any on the coast. He and some San Francisco gentlemen are planting large groves in that section this year.

He Is With Us Again.

Although rather early in the season, several parties have declared that they are in sympathy with the dear people and want suitable rewards therefor. The Recordership, Treasurer's and Sheriff's offices have already been spoken for, and the claimants for other official plums are only awaiting the action of their chiefs to openly pre- sent their demands. The following touching lines, from one who has evil dently "been there," will soon be more truth than poetry:
 "Oh, father, dear. who is that man at the gateT' Hush. my child, 'tis candidate The author o: all the huma woes: Early he comes ani late he goes.
 He greets the women with courtly grace. And kisses the baby's dirty face;
 He never no never, was kn own to work, And he bores the merchant, he bores the clerk With 'Howdy, how do you |? How is your wifi, and how are youF He clasps yoIr hand as no other can. Aud says he's the friend of the workingman.

REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
It Has an Enthusiastic and Harmonious
 Meeting.

At the meeting of the Republican Territorial Central Committee in Phe- nix on the 2Ist inst, which was largely attended, the following business was transacted:
 The time for holding the Territorial C0nven ion was fixed for Tuesday, August 26, the basis of representation being one delegate for each fifty votes cast for u e delegate for Congress in 1888, or for the candidate for the Ter ritorial legislature, in the option ol the county committee, and one for each fraction of twenty-five votes or over.
 Resolved, That it is the sense of the Central Committee that Arizona should be admitted into the Union as |, State as soon as possible, and that they urge upon the Republican party and it's official members to put forth every effort to induce q Republican Congress 10 take such action."
 "Resolved, That we regard the con struction put on the law by the Attor- ney General of the United States, that all entries of public lands since Octo Der ?, 1888, which may he under water storage or reservoir sites, as detri- mental to the interests of Arizona in this that it practically wilhdraws all public lands in Arizona from entry before such water storage or reservoir sites have been designated, and we therefore earnestly protest against this construction of the law and ask Con- gress to remedy it, to the end that all these lands be opened to set lement as they were before the passage of the law referred to-"
 Following this, short speeches were made by Colonel Herring of Tomb stone, John Y. T. Smith, Attorney General Churchill, Colonel Zabriskie and Ed. $. Gill, all earnestly urging united work by Republicans.

Willow Lakes, Or tega, Clay Banks, R. Mariinez's ranch thence into the lake at Rancho Viein into ihe Colorado.
 While on Volcano Lake, the Eeavy earthquake shock of the 18th was plainly felt. The waters of the lake, until then like sea of glass, in an instant was thrown into violent com motion. Thousands of duck and other wild fowls screamed and rose into the air, the bO Ut rocked and things were stirred up generally. On the 19;h, at AsNN'N A%'oV, ~ oCNpIli lHitNN SHOCK came, shaking up the valley country and causing the banks of Ihe lake tu cave. Col. Allen came over the border to ascertain the depth of wa cr along the proposed railroad line, much of which Is under water, from Rafael Martinez south 10 below lhe Sierras de lbs. .Dioscs de lbs Indios, distance of about ninety miles. At Volcano Lake and to the south the water Is still ri-ing but, on this side, it is rapid ly falling. Where the water has re ceded d splendid growth of nutritious grhsst Is springing up. Wild hemp in places Is four to five feet high. The central branch of New River has abandoned the old channel and cut out new one four miles or so to the south. Col Allen says that he con- siders this food the greatest blessing ever conferred upon that country, which Is really neither desert or waste, but the great valley of the Col orAdo.-Yuma Times.

 l. Do You consider it necessary or xpedient to call a meeting of this com nittre to arrange for the Territorial con- vention?
 2. If you do, at what place do you desire to hold the mee ing?
 Alter the adj 'urnment of the last Ter ritorih conventionI endeavortd to t the records and bonks of the old cum- nittee. The Secretary, Mr. Richard Rule, informed me that there were none in his p ,sseosior that he was unable To find any, and that he had no funds 10 the committees credit.
 Mr. Richard Rule handed me his re- signation as s cretarY and have ap- pointed MT. John P. Shaugnessy of Tombstone, Cochise county, as hls sue cessor.
 It seems to me the expense attending meeting of the Central C Committee is so great as not to justify the ca ling of meeting unless 1t is sure that quorum will be present do not think that il has been customary for the commi tee 10 meet, its work being usually done by correspondence.
 Believing that a majority of the con- mittee will answer the first question in the negative, send you another list to which would like to have replies,
 The Territorial convention did not name the members of thls committee for Mohave county and there are vacan- cieS in some of the O her counties. 4. If the Central Committee does not meet, how should vacancies be filed? If there is vacancy in your county will you please notify m,?
 If you think the chairman has the ap- pointive power, will you suggest the rames of some Democrats to fill the vacancy in your county?
