tho coal mines near Mons, says the New

md she was then and is still II remarkably
beautiful woman. Her health having been
seriously impaired by the terrible atmos-
phere of the coal mine, some charitable
person sent her to Paris and placed her as
apprentice in the great dressmakiEg es-
tablishment of Mme. M, where, clever
and intelligent. the girl soon became
one Of Madame's most valued en-

her employer a few weeks after her arrival
IN COnStAntlnOple 6he merely stated tnat,
having tound some profitable employment
in the capital of Turkey, she had decided
to spend some time there. Then complete
silence followed. A few months ago an
uncle of Flora Collin died in Brus-
sells, where he had amassed a con-
fortune in business during the
past few years. When his will was opened
it was found that he had left all his money
to his beloved niece Flora Oollin,' re-
questing his executors to find her, and men
tioning the fact that he believed her to be
in Constantinople. Notices were put in the
papers of that city inquiring whether q

NEWSY NOTES.

VIM. North, young man aged about
20 years, was drowned in the Allegheny
at Oil City last Sabbath, while boat riding,
the boat having been capsized by high
wind.
The first coasting accident of the season
comes from Pennsylvania. At Kane, on
Wednesday, George Fitzpatrick, a 5-year-
old boy, while sliding down hill, was so
badly injured by running against picket
fence that he died in a short time.
According to a New York item, the de-
scription of certain piece or parcel of
land situate in the County of Waldo, n.
Y, as set forth in the deed, includes this
clear passage: "Eight rods to hole in the
roof of shed in the ship yard" AS the
shed was burned sixteen years ago the
authorities are not exactly clear regarding
that hound. And yet the statement is
about as clear as many found in the un-
necessary verNiage of most legal docu-
ments.
The Titusville World prints an interest
ing table showing the highest and lowest
price of oil each year, from 1859 to 1890,
both years inclusive. From the figures
given it is shown that during two years
only-1sS6 and 1Ss7-did oil fail to reach
the dollar point at some time during tht
year. The highest price in 1856 was 8.
cents, the lowest 50. In 1859 the price wat
uniform at $40 per barrel. In 1860 i
ranged from 1915 to $40, and 1861 from q
cents to $40. From these and other figures
the World advises small producers to bid,
their time patiently and console them
selves with the thought that their produc
ton will net them fair income when th,
great gushers of Mcdonald are themes fo
writers of ancient history. The glamou
of a 800 barrels per hour well will proba
bly, lead many an adventurous oil man h
blow in his money, paying big bonuses
big drilling bills and still larger royalties
but the wise and successful producer G
petroleum will stay by his small wells Il
territory where drilling and operating
cheap, and where returns, though small
are generally sure.

con" years, although in campaign
like the one just past it is not at all
strange that she should fall off some
in maiorities. With absolutely no
local fight on hand 10 bring out the
vote, as iu this instance, is is simply
out Of the question TO get out the
vote, and no amount Of urging would
bring it. AS it figures, from present
returns, it is safe to put the Repub-
lican majority at 100, which is very
good when we consider that the entire
vote of the county, will reach little,
if any, over $50. There is one feature
in the result, as the outlook DOW is,
which is by no manner Of means as 1t
should be, and that is the defeat OF
DR.. Rumberger for Coroner. The
Office is scarcely worth having, so far
as that goes, but the DR.. having been
the regular nominee of the party,
should certainly have received its
support. It is due to him to say that
he made little or no effort in his own
behalf, trusting to The party, of which
be has always been a consistent sup
porter, to recognize his claims. Such
breaks, even in a small Office, are MOI
healthy to the party, and we trust II
will not occur again.
Thus has another campaign ended
and thus does the Republican party
come off victorious again, Now fo
'92!

LUNG TROUBLE CURED.

In June of last year put myself under
treatment of Drs. Mcclellan & Salm for a
bad case of lung trouble. / was losing
flesh rapidly and became weaker daily, so
that my friend and myself became very
much alarmed. Although treated by
several of our best home physicians l
began to sink more and more. At this
date consider myself entirely cured OF
all nay previous trouble, have once more
a good appetite and can sleep and eat with
pleasure, and am indeed very much salts
he'd with the result. Drs. Mcclellan &
Salm have done all they promised.

Mckinley Gets There BY
10000 or MOreI
TIN, TIN, AMERICAN TIN !"

Although returns came in Llowly
Tuesday night enough were at hand
shortly after midnight to indicate
substantial Republican victories in all
the states where Republicans had
reason to expect such results. In
Ohio, where the greatest battle was
waged, Major McKinley's election is
conceded by the Democrats at from
10000 to $4,000, awhile the Repub.
licans claim 10000 to 10000. This
is victory to be proud Of when it is
considered that the combined efforts
of the Democrats of the whole nation
was centered there for the purpose, as
they hoped, of dealing a death blow
to doctrine of protection to American
labor. The Republicans have also
carried both branches of the legisls.
ture.
In Pennsylvania the victory for the
gallant Republican standard bearers,
Gregg and Morrison, is a most sweep
ing one, especially in an off year
and against the desperate efforts put
forth by the Democracy. The indi'
cations now are that the majority fol
the Republican State ticket will be in
the neighborhoOd Of 10000, the city
of Philadelphia alone giving tn,
ticket close to 10000 majority.
In New York, Flower is winner
Tammany and the city being too mucl
for the plucky Fassett to overcome il
the interior, although he made
gamey fight against the combine
Democratic factions. After all ther
is not much comfort in it for th
Democracy. New York is never Re
publican except in Presidential year
and in '92 may be put down in the
column.
In the other States, Massaohusett
Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, the r
publicans made substantial gains, an
have undoubtedly wrested them frOr
the Democratic side, where they ha
lately drifted to. In the first name
it is possible that Russell, Democra
has been reelected, but the balance
the State ticket is undoubtedly r
publican. Returns from Iowa are y
Ineagre, but what are at hand fav
the Republicans in each instance.
Kansas the Republicans have regain
much of the prestige lost in last yea
campaign, and had it not been an
year there, they would have made
clean sweep.
The proposed Constitutional Ca
vention was voted against in
county almost unanimously, and
majority against it will run up IL
the hundreds. This seems to be
case pretty much all over the Sta
so far as indications 60.

dation for the abutments rests. It is n
red clay, and 1t was feared that It would
not DO solid and firm enough. The fact
that the piles on which tho bridge now
rests are driven down to this same rock,
aud that each pile Is supporting from
eighteen TO twenty-eight tons, would
seem 10 show that II Is MS firm as any
thing could be desired to BIO for tho
purpose.
There arc In tho bridge III stones In
all. There are s. courses, tho courses
varying from eight to ten stones each.
The keystone Is tho forty.third from Tho
north. Each stone Is one foot eleven
and thirtcen.sixtccnth inches OH the In.
side, and owing to tho fact that tho In.
side and outside arches arc not scgments
Of the same circle they all vary in width
ut the outside.
The span Ia $50 feet, and the crown OF
tho arch is'2S.4 fcet above tho top OF
the abutmont, whichis IL feet above low
water. The arch lisa segment OF n circle,
being nearly tho quadrant, tho exact
angle being 7S.4.
Tho stone In tho arch weighs about
3,3i4! tons, there being l,G5l.G03 cubic
yards,oi the average weight Of n fraction
over two tons. The actual weight on
the arch is, however, somewhat less
than this, owing to tho friction and
lateral pressure on the abutmonts. Tho
weight bears greatest on tho centre
third, which is not true Of most arches.
Ono fact that is now OF special interest
Is that there is plenty Of room for water
or gas pipes or electric conduits in the
structure.
There was agood deal oigood-naturcd
rivalry between the mail carriers whose
work is ON the South side, as to which
ono OF them should. cross the bridge
first. GusKnoke, Bob Agncw and Eddie
Schul got their bags OF mail matter and
broke for the bridge on n run. Knoke
took the lead, Schul was n close second,
and Agnew brought up tho rear. In
this order they crossed the bridge, and
Agnew said he would have been first
had he not been handicapped by more
years than arc on the backs OF either
Knokc or sclu'.
