Senator Quay.

A number of Philadelphians are
out IN an address denouncing Sena-
tor Quay and blaming HIM for GER
tain acts and blaming him for the
defeat OF certain bills before the late
Legislature. The committee as the
huntsman says, have taken the wrong
trail and freed the wrong game, for
the Senator says of their address:
That so far as it refers to me it is
false from beginning to end. There
isn't word of truth in the charges.
! deny every charge. They are as
false as were those of last year. The
gentlemen who signed this address
are not republicans. All of them
voted for Pattison for Governor.
Many OF them voted for Cleveland
for President, and you will find
among them large number who are
free traders, or whose sympathies
are with the free traders. | can
stand attacks coming from such Dem
ocratic sources. Why, what do they
charge?
First, that there were some
amendments proposed to the Ballot
Reform bill that were undesirable.
| declare most emphatically that [
took no part, whatever, in the ballot
reform legislation. I don't interfere
in any way. Again, these Demo
Gratis, calling themselves Repubh-
cans charge the Republican party,
and incidentally me, with the def eat
OF the sectional school bill, designed
to purify and strengthen the public
school system of Philadelphia. Why,
l was in favor of that bill. It was a |
good one, and had 1 been interfering
in Legislation in any way, 1 should |
have supported it heartily.
And think Of connecting me in |
any way with the Bardsley business! |
Il is ridiculous. Bardsley was not
by politicians. He was
not politicians candidate. He was
thrust forward as a representative of
the business men. l have only a
slight acquaintance with the man.

should not know him if 1 met him
IN the street. never had any deal
ngs with him. l know nothing.
whatever Of him, except what I have
cad in the newspapers. These
'harges are as preposterous as they
ire false"
"The Republican party and the
politicians had nothing whatever to
10 with Bardsley and his defaIcation.
The crime committed was commit
Cd by a man who took the office to
make what he could out of it for
himself. He did not do this by the
id of the Republican party OF its
eaders. He had no business rela-
ions with them He did not do it
S a politician or as a Republican.
Ie did it as Bardsley, and there is
10 significance whatever to be at {
ached to it."

ALightning Rod Swindler.

Many times during the run OF a
year, country newspapers publish
the tricks of swindling agents, but it
is not every man that Is far enough
up to get a newspaper for himself
and family to learn the good and the
bad of the world, and sometimes n
man gets a news paper and does not
read it, but leaves the reading of it
to his family and by such habit he
does not acquaint himself with the
tricks of bad men. The man who
takes a newspaper and reads it is
seldom caught by swindlers such as
caught a man in Sinking Valley the
particulars of which are related by
the Tyrone Herald as follows: Mich
olas Lewis, one of Sinking Valley
prosperous farmers had an expensive
experience with slic,; lightning rod
agents. On Wednesday of last week
two smosth-tongued travellers stop
ped at Mr.. Lewis house and entered
with him into q contract by which
they as representatives of the "Na
tional Copper Tube Co., were tC
furnish lightning rods for his dwell
ing house. They agreed to furnish
70 feet free Cf charge and estimated
the total cost of the work to be Sc
but the contract was slyly worde(
go cents per foot for as much as i
takes
Thursday another oily individua
appeared, and astounded Mr.. Lawi
by demanding advance payment b
note of 1920, which he said woul
be the total cost of putting up tn
rods. air. Lewis naturally demurre
and the persistentagent then sugges
ed compromise by which Mr.. Levi
should give him S75 and get no rod
at all. BY dint Of smooth talking
ne finally succeeded in obtainin
from the bewildered farmer S25 j
cash and note for S45. Statistic
with his work, the agent then depar
ed
MIR. Lewis came to town fridi
and notified the Tyrone and Altool
banks net to accept the note. Wi
the publicity gained 10y publication
of the fraud in the Blair coun
newspapers, it is hoped that no tro
bic will be occasioned by making oft
note.

PrObating a Will.

The case of probating a will from
among the five wills that Mrs. r. G..
Gallagher left, was before Recorder
Berry last Thursday. 1t was quite
court that the Recorder held.
There was a new lawyer upon the
seine. Mr.. Anes from williams
port, who was present for the N. E.
Preachers Aid Society. 4 number
Of witnesses were in attendance, and
for tim it was not known where
the case would lend to, however, in
the afternoon the focal point of franz
ing an issue was reached and the Re.
corder was relieved of the duty for
the present time of determining
which viii to probate. The five
wills are ali to appear in court, prob
ably next September, where the men
tai capacity Of Mrs. Gallagher to
make win is to be submitted to
jury. If the jury determine that she
had sufficient mind to make a Will,
then one of the wills will be prob.t-
cd by the Recorder. IF the jury
find she had not sufficient mind to
execute a will such az is contemplat-
ed under the law, then she will be
considered as having died intsstate,
or IN other words without having
made a will, and her lawful heirs,
wherever they may be will be enti.
tied to her estate. Her estate is es-
timated to be worth about six thou
sand dollars. 1t is about nineteen
years since her husband r. G. Gala
CHER, died. Since his death she re-
ceivod over forty thousand dollars
from the estate in money, which
she gave away to churches, to socie
ties, to individuals, and to lawyers
It is no fault of the lawyers that the
estate is in such a mix. They had
to do with the building up
Of the estate and vera only called in

tate belonged could not agree to its
Mrs. Gallagher was
an economical woman in her ways OF
living, and was extrav.gant in moth
ing except in the giving away Of
ready cash.

A Letter to Our FrIen ds.
AIEADv1LLE, Pa, July sth, 1891

MEADvILLE, Pa, July Sth, 1891.
The bell rings; the train moves
westward. We are on our journey
leaving Thompsontown, 10 O'Clock
A. n, July 9th, and after winding
around the grace full curves of the
Juniata, we sped rapidly on our way
Passing through Patterson, Lewis
town, Huntingdon and Tyrone which
are all hourishing towns for their
sizes finally reach Altoona, or
rather the mountain city as it is
sometimes called. Having only ten
minutes time we could not visit any OF
its curiosities, but Judging by the
appearances of what we saw in pass
lug through, it must be a delightful
as well as busy city.
In continuing our trip We soon
be gin the ascent of the Allsghanies
In few minutes we behold that re-
aarkable scenery-The Horseshoe
Bend. Looking down over the side
of the mountain for hundreds of
feet, into the abyss below, we see moth
ing but a small mountain rivulet.
Proceeding up the mountain we
enter the tunnel, which is one and
three fOurths milos in length. The
lights. are lit and all seems ike night
While passing through this artificial
passage of under ground we could
not keep but think Of the wonderful
achievements of man when he has
spaned the deep rayine with the
bridge or pass through a mountain
by means of tcunel.
Three minuets more ana we reach
Gallitzin, the highest point of the
P. X. r. Soon we are laundering
down the valley of the Conemaugh,
observing theruins of the Johnstown
Flood. The towns which were dis
stroyed by this food are rapidly be-
ing rebuilt.
Then resuming our course, we
pass through the busy towns of LII
trobe, Greepsburg, Janette and Brad
dock, whore Braddock was defeated
and killed one hundred and forty
one years ago and finally reached
the Smoky City" Pittsburg whore
we quenched our hunger and found
a good resting place for the night.
The next forenoon-which was
July 7th, was spent in visiting the
city Of Allegheny. At 1,2O we lstt

Road, for Rochester. In travelling
his distanc the Rail road is along
.he banks of the Ohio River, on
whose waters we saw large Steam
Boats flowing the crystal waters.
From Rochester the rail road is
dong the Beaver River for quite a !
distance. Along this River yeu

Beaver Falls, Nav Castle, Sharon |

They Hang No More.

They hang no more people in York
state they execute legally condemned
criminals by electricity. They call
it electrocution-which is simply
sending current of electricity
through a man tied in chair. On
the 7th of July four men who had
been sentenced to death for murder
were electrocuted in Sing Sing pris-
on about day brake. They electro
cuted each man separately, and when
all things were ready two charges
each of2O seconds with a minute
between each charge was sufficient
to produce death so still that not q
muscle twitched.

EDITos AND Proprietor.

LAST May only six weeks ago
General De Pyster of New York and
wife celebrated their golden we'd
ing. On the 7th Of this July, Mrs
Pvster instituted proceedings for di
vorce on the ground of ''eruel and IN
human treatment"
The witnesses of the execution OF
the murderers in Sing Sing Prison
New York, by electricity will not tell
what they saw, and that is the reason
that..such sprivate execution should
not be tolerated. Secret executions
or killing is contrary to the spirit OF
everything that is American.
THE Democracy are cu.in regu-
lar scold denouncing every thing the
Republicans do or ever did 90. The
latest object Of their scold Is the I.
s. Treasury which they declare to be
bankrupt. But the funniest parts Of
it all is the fact, the Treasury pays
as it goes and its paper is at a prem
ium above all other paper. The
Democracy must be scolding for the
want Of something better to do, for
who ever before heard Of man or
nation that was bankrupt with their
paper at par ard ut a premium.
DEsPArcEEs from Kansas say, the
Farmers Alliance propose to try and
keep the wheat and other grain from
being put upon the market in such
quantities as to break prices. Well,
If other business in the country, may
organize toprotect their interests,
may not the Farmers Alliance do |
the same thing. Railroads combine
to control freight and passenger
rates. Fruit growers combine to
got better prices. Boards of trade
are organized to further their busi-
ness, and grain dealers and mer |
chants receive price lists of goods
every week from the grand center or
ganizations that fix and publish the
prices and with all such facts staring
wide awake people in the face it is
to understand Why a word
of objection should be urged to the
Alliance trying to keep the farmers
from breaking their own markets.
The only thing in the way seems sto
be the extent Of the work of CON
trolling the output Of grain from the
farms
THE four men executed by electric
ity in Sing Sing prison, York State,
on the 7th inst, weresa executed in
private. No newspaper people wore
to be present. All who
were there were thera by the favor
Of the men engaged in the killing Of
the criminals. -Murderers are tried
il public, and they should not be eX- {
ecuted in a place whore the repre- {
of the public journals have
access. The committee of witnesses
at an execution should not be e
picked committee no moro than
Jury that sits on the trial OF mans
life should be picked jury. The
public pay for the keeping up OF the
court and ell its machinery, pay for
the jaiIs, pay for the executions, pay
prison doctors and pay Common
wealth lawyers, and they have right
to know what is going on behind pris-
on walls, and the only way to secure
that information is to permit newspap-
er peoplo..to be present. Newspaper
people sometimes abuse their privel-
eges, but the rights of the people are
only safe where the newspaper peo-
pie have access. Crush out the
rights Of free speech and froe writ
