Steal on you uninvited

With graceful, Turing poses;
Or, coming in diff rent guise.
A thorn among the roses.
Be careful, ye whose marriage bells
Now merrily are ringing;
Be heedful of the bitter word.
The answer keen and singing
The sharp retort, the angry eye
Its vivid lightning flashing;
The rock on which so many hopes
Are daily, hourly dashing!
Bear and forbear'-the only way
To tread life's paths together,
Then come and welcome, shining sun,
Or come, dark cloudy weather;
Two welded hearts conjoined in one
That cannot live asunder!
Have put loves golden armor on

Tho Census of Paupers.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The Census Office
has issued a bulletin on the subject of pau.
pers in almshouses in 1890, which shows q
total of 49, ,045 as against e., ,9O3 in 1880. This
number is divided according to sex and col
or, as follows Number of males, white. 81 :
3S7 number Of males, colored, 1854 num-
Der Of females, white, 26. .19l +: number offe-
males, colored, 4,ll3.
In the number of colored persons given
above are included sixteen male and twenty
female Indians, and twelve male and one fe-
male Chinese. The ratio of almshouse pau
pers in the total population was to S57.
This is a very marked relative decrease.
The almshouse system is not keeping pace
with the growth of the population at
large.
The decline in the ratio is due to the very
much smaller number Of paupers cared for
in almshouses in the North Atlantic Divis-
ion, where there has been not only a relative
but an absolute decrease in the number. In
respect to the nativity, not including the
colored paupers, who may all be supposed to
be natives, except the thirteen Chineseof the
6s, SIS white paupers, 1886 are native born,
p ,64s foreign born, and the place Of birth Of
2,274 is unknown.
Among the number of paupers in aims
houses reported in the States are the fol-
lowing
New York, 1O,622 Pennsylvania, s-65S !;
Ohio. 400; Illinois, 1896 West Virginia,

PITsBURG, July ia series Of accidents
happened at Rankin Station, near BraddOck,
Pa, yesterday and last night, whereby four
persons living in the same house were killed
and a fifth fatally injured.
Yesterday morning David Bell, aged %
years, employed at the Carrie Furnace, and
bOarder at the house of Charlie McGrattin.
left for his work. He did not return for
supper, and at O'Clock last evening his na-
ked body was found floating in the Monon-
gahela River. He had been drinking hard
Of late and il is not known whether he was
drowned while swimming OF committed
suicide.
Two hours later q lamp exploded in Nc
Grattins dwelling, and two Of his children
Robert and Charles-aged seven and ten
years respectively, who were asleep at the
time, were burned up with the house and its
entire contents.
This morning about daylight Harry Rowe
and Peter Knee, who boarded with the Nc
Grstfins went TO the ruins TO look for some
of their effects While searching in the
debris brick chimney fell on them, almost
instantly killing Rowe and fatally injuring
Knee. The men were about thirty years of
age and single.
Another fatality may result from the
series Of remarkable accidents at Rankin
Station. DR.. Cope, who was called to dress
the wounds Of Peter Knee, was driving
home this morning when his horse ran away
and wrecked the vehicle. The doctor was
thrown out and injured so badly that he
may die. Peter Knee died about 10 O'Clock
this morning, making five deaths so far.
The accidents have created intense excite
ment in the vicinity, and large crowd sur
rounds the house.

BardsIey Has Paresis.

PHILADELPHIA. July 19.-TEo eminent
specialists in mental diseases, Horation C.
Wood and C. Mill, have found a plausible
explanation for the crimes of Honest" John
Bardsley, now beginning fiften years term
in prison. They say he has paresis.
Among the ex-City Treasurers papers.
now in the hands of the city officials, have
been found evidences that for the past two
or three years Bardsley has led a grossly
immoral life, so consistent with the paresis
theory as 10 be In his case almost conclusive.
An intimate friend of the ex-Treasurer
says that his dissipation began but year
or two ago. and that it was carried on TO a
great extent up to the time his financial
ruin became known tO.the public.
Paresis is the modern name for the affiic-
ton once generally known as "softening Of
the brain" A desire for wild financial
transactions, glaring misjudgments, an over
powering ambition to become rich, coupled
with excessive immortality, are the most
striking symptoms.
The facts that have come to light concern
ing the apparently sudden change in John
Bardsley's moral habits in the past two OF
three years appear to furnish proof of the
truthfulness Of the hypothesis that paralytic
dementia grappled with Honest Johns
mind about the time he left Councils TO be-
come treasurer of Philadelphia.

Some Of smalr.s poIngs

PHILADELPHIA, July l9.-The Rev ]. W.
Hill, of Ogden, Utah, who is here to an
swer the complaint against him made, by
the Rev Sam Small, says he has strong evi-
dence to back up his charges. He says he
has letter from judge who says Small is
now travelling on his role as a reformed
drunkard, patted on the shoulders by many
old women of both sexes, thoroughly unre-
liable professional evangelistic agitator for
the money there is in it.
Pastor Hill further says Small sold lots
that did not exist, though he had options
on 5000 acres of this land, which is all COW
cred with sage brush, and which has no wa
ter at any time except when it rains He
tried TO sell this off through church people,
and he did dispose of good deal in Canada
and Maine. But finally he had to let the
real estate deal fall through.
Mr.. Hill further says that Small borrow
ed 81 coo from Judge Preshaw and gave two
notes, which were returned protested. The
Judge is dead, and his widow and a wild
owed daughter are in great want.

A Farmer Judge of Kansas Will Not
Listen to the Supreme Body.

ToPEKA, July ls.-G. w. Mckay. the Ali
ance Judge in the Twenty fourth district
who never read page Of law until after hi.
election last FIJI. has openly rebelled aesins
the Supreme Conrt, and yesterday placed q
warrant in the hands of the County Coroner
for the arrest Of the Sheriff, who had refused
10 obey his orders under instructions of the
Supreme Court.
This was the second positive refusal o.
Mckay TO be bound by the ruling of the
Supreme Court in the attempted mortgage
foreclosure on a farm owned by Albert
Honeywell by the Commonwealth Loan and
Trust Company. Proceedings were institu.
ted By attorneys for the loan company this
afternoon to have Mckay appear before the
Supreme Court, when contempt proceedings
will be commenced.
BACKED BY TIE ALLIANCE.
Mckay wss the only Alliance judge elect
ed last fall He is a farmer and admitted
never having read law, but the three coun-
ties which composed his district are strongly
Alliance and he was elected by an over
whelming majority. The Alliance to which
be belongs has taken deep interest in the
foreclosure case now pending, and at its last
meeting adopted resolutions declaring that
the owner of the farm was entitled to the
crop instead of the mortgage company.
A motion was made before Judge Mckay
in the interest of the owner to have the
agent for the loan company, Mr.. Burr, who
had been given charge ofthe place by form
er judge, dismissed Judge Mckay granted
the motion and the mortgage company ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court.
WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE THE HIGHER COURT
The District Judge was oyer-ruled and the
agent again given charge. Judge Mckay
issued another order compelling the agent
to yacate, and upon his refusal TO do so
placed warrant for his arrest in the hands
ofthe Sheriff and fined him $50 for contempt.
On the advice of his attorneys the agent re-
fused 10 pay the fine and was lodged in Jail.
Habeas corpus proceedings were instituted
was instructed to turn the prisoner loose.
Friday Judge Mckay, Notwithstanding the
order of the Supreme Court, instructed the
Sheriff to again arrest Burr. The Sheriff,
acting upon the instructions of the Supreme
Court, refused, and the Alliance Judge placed
a warrant in the hands of the Coroner for
the arrest of the Sheriff and another for the
arrest of the agent.
opuEpS xOT yrT CapPrrD OT-T
The Coroner has not as yet made either
arrest. The only member of the Supreme
Court in the city is Judge Valentine. The
decisions on the csse which the farmer
Judge has refused to obey were given by
Chief Justice Horton, who is now in Colo
rado for the summer.
After his election, and before taking his
seat last fall Judge Mckay announced his
intention of takinga course of lectures at
the Ann Arbor law school, but compromised
BY attending weeks sitting ofthc Supreme
Court. His only knowledge of law was ac-
quired By attending as a referee in equity
cases by appointment from the District
Judge. There are IL other District Judges
to be elected this fall, and the indications
are that the Alliance will elect majority of
them.

Immense Treasure Found.

New York, July l9.-News has been re-
eeived in this city of the discovery of an
enormous treasure in one Of the subterra-
mean vaults ofthe old castle Of San Antonio
at Rio Janeiro, where it had lain hidden
since some time in the last century. Before
IL was converted into a castle, San Antonio
was monastery under the control of the
Jesuits, and ii was during this period of its
history that the treasure is supposed to have
been hidden.
Underneath the castle are vaults built like
the corridors of mine, and in one of these
8 large number Of leases, chests and bundles
was discovered. An examination of the
contents of these chests and packages re-
suited in q most astonishing discovery. The
Il2 wooden cases contained gold TO the val
ne of about s7O.OOOOOO. They consisted of
old Portugnes cruzados (ancient milreis
worth about 50 cents each, and the account
ing of the Treasurer was verified by docu-
ments found in the cases. The 26 packages
were found to contain variety of precious
stones, whose value cannot be told, as they
have not yet been appraised, The excaya-
tons about the castle are not yet finished.

Rough on the Detectives.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1s.-Detectives of the
Guarantee Insurance Company of North
America have just caught an absconding
ticket agent of ths Pennsylvania Company,
who has been at large for four years. J. O.
Cnllinsn is his name, and he was stationed
at Globe, H. In 1857 he disappeared, being
short in his accounts The Guarantee Com
pany had gone his bond and had to make
the shortage good However. the officers
expected to arrest him at once, for he had
only one arm and one leg. and was so help
less that be could hardly walk without as
sistanoe. They offered reward Of 81
and notified the police all over the country.
They also sent out thousands Of circulars
describing Cuiliman's peculiar appearance.
Foar years passed, however, with no word
of the missing man.
In speaking OF the matter to-day Mr.. sa-
bine said Detectives all over the land
were looking for him in order to get the
$1,000, and yet it is very strange that such q
man could have eluded them for a week.
You see his night arm and left leg were gone
and be was practically helpless. He is IN

Famine in Two Countries.


LONDON, July 2O.-The Times summari-
zes the harvest prospects of the world as
follows
In Russia there is a grave deficit, the peas.
antry are starving, and there is small hope
of relief
In India there is serious anxiety; a fam
inc prevails over a considerable portion OF
the country. Madras, Rajputana and Pun
iab are the worst sufferers. There is draught
in Bengal, and the need of more rain Is ur-
gent. Bombay alone promises good har-
vest
The American harvest will be good in
quantity and amount but with the failure
Of the Indian and Russian supplies it is oi
the utmost importance that the English
crop shall not be short The prospect, on
the whole, is good in England. In the chiei
wheat counties-Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk
the crop is above the average, and in other
counties up to the average. The harvest
will be late and prices win be high There
is, therefore, good outlook for the English
farmer to break the long series of disastrous
wears
