The decision of a Common Pleas
Judge in Armstrong County in this
State that the original package decis,
ion of the Federal Supreme Court
gave the right to sell imported beer
in kegs, half barrels and barrels in
Pennsylvania without a license has
created some sensation in the Western
part of the State. There is no reason
why it should, however, as the original
package decision which was delivered
some six weeks ago states, in terms so
clear that no intelligent person has
any excuse for misunderstaudingt them,
that the right to sell liquor in original
packages can not he denied or abridged
by State prohibitory or license laws.
Had the sales of liquor been in TASKS
and bottles, the decision would have
been still more interesting, as the
question of good faith would be in.

The State Convention.

The Republican State Convention
meets at Harrisburg next Wednesday,
at 10 o'clock a. M, to nominate can.
didates for Governor, Lieutenant Gov.
ernOr, and Secretary of Internal Af-
fairs. For the latter place there is no
contest, the general impression having
gone out that Col. Thos. j. Stewart,
the present incumbent, should be re.
tanned, as a mark of esteem and rec.
ognition 10 the Grand Army Boys.
The Lieut.. Governorship has almost
been lost sight Of in the contest for the
first place on the ticket. Senator
Delamater still has the lead in the
race, and is believed by many to be
almost certain of the nomination on
the first or second ballot. If the
nomination is not made on the second
ballot, considerable uncertainty will
be thrown into the contest, which will
likely result in a go.as.you.please
fight. In that case look out for a
swing toward our own Governor Stone,
who seems now to occupy the best po-
sition in contest of that kind, and
whose canvass has been conducted in
such way as to make him by far the
most acceptable compromise candidate
in the field. We look for his nomina.
tion as among the very likely proba.
bilities. In any event the party is
sure to have a good candidate; one
who will have the full strength of the
party at his back in November.

GENIAL ROGER Q Mills, of Texas,
has counted a quorum Of himself and
solemnly resolved that he will not ac-
cept the place on the House Commit.
tee on Rules made vacant by Mr..
Carlisle's election to the Senate-and
he just dares Speaker Reed to compel
him to accept the place, if he can !
The Speaker, if he is wise, will not
attempt to coerce Mr.. Mills in this
matter. The gentleman from Texas
is bad man from the headwaters of
Bitter Creek, and this time he has got
the House where the hair is very
brief To invite Mills to a place on

body has completed its rules and put
them into operation, is very much like
inviting hungry man to a banquet

BY the Interpretation of the new school

forced. The law provides that the Com

under the lowest cash price and award
the contract for furnishing the books to the
firm that bids lowest under this price. The
Board decides that this 90 per cent. must
be taken off after the usual 16l5 per cent
discount has been made from the price list.
All the book publishers say they will re-
fuse to bid if that ruling is held to.

possibility that the miners are still alive

LATEST STORM REPORTS.
The Ravages of the Deadly Cyclone
Authenticated.

AMBOY. Ills, Jnne 2l.-A severe cyclone
passed over the southern and central pOr-
tions of Lee county yesterday afternoon,
leaving death and destruction in its wake
As there is no telegraphic communication,
il is difficult TO secure complete reports
The storm made its first appearance at a
point some fifteen miles west of the village
of Sublette, where number of cattle were
killed From there il pursued an east
erly course, with a track twenty
10 forty rods wide, cleaning
everything before il. Among the buildings
destroyed are those of VIM. Shaw, Daniel
HAIRY, VIM. Reeves, VIM. IL. Long and j.
X. Hatch, all leading farmers in that sec
tiOn. The storm crossed the Illinois Cen
tral railroad al Sublette, wiping up eight
or ten buildings on the north edge of the
town and inluring some Il persons, but
none seriously. The storm still pursued an
eastern course, losing none of its fury.
Some four miles east of the village the
home of c. Bitner was demolished and his
wife SO seriously injured by being struck
with a stove that she died this morning.
South Paw, twenty miles east, was then
struck, and the result was serious one.
The cyclone struck the place so suddenly
there was no time for escape. At about
30 p. m, above the peals of thunder, an
uncertain rumbling was heard, and in an
instant the southern part of the little vii
lage lay in ruins, while the piteous cries OF
the dying and injured were heard on every
side.
Relief parties organized and started out,
and il was found that the destruction was
complete Within two miles of the place
fourteen bodies were found to be dead or so
badly injured that they died soon afterward.
strip about 40 rods wide and one mile
long was completely devastated.
Miss Maggie Mcbride and her eight lit
tie pupils had been unable 10 leave the
school on account of the storm. An OBJ
server states that when the wind struck
the building was carried up into the air for
distance Of 300 feet, where il was wrecked
and lost sight OF. Neither the teacher nor
any of her little class remain to tell the
story.
George Rohachs lost a wife and two chill
dren, his house not far distant being de
mOiished That many are seriously IN
iured in the path Of the storm whose names
cannot be ascertained at present, is not a
question of doubt. The damage 10 proper
" was enormous.
