The Old Man walked through the
coloners legs, and proceeded with the
explosives. The rain, we might say in
this connection was wanted and we
leave it to the people to say how much
rain we got.
Colonel Bob Carr, who was used as
one of the explosives, and who has
not been seen since he jumped from the
parachute, viii also bear witness that
the business was what Mr.. Southgate
calls extra hazardous, and when Major
Guthrie put THE GLOBES trademark on

And so it follows that the rain came as
we substantially stated above. And The
GLOBE desires to bear witness that it is
easy to make rain even during sunshine.
We had the experiment early this morn
ing, in order not to attract a crowd. In
fact Colonel Tom Cheek was the only
man attracted. Major Guthrie says that
when he gets his new sky-scraping bomb
completed that he can make it rain in
five minutes time. He will sell his pat
ent to Colonel Polk of the Farmers AL
lance and thus a good crop is insured
every year, The major is also perfect
ing new lightning cut off, which will
prevent rain. This is all right except
that the rain from this new invention
will fall only on the just. The unjust
must whack up when they feel in need
Of a sprinkle.

TO MEET.
The Old Settlers of the North to Have a
Royal Meeting at Raleigh.

The Old Settlers of the North to Have a
Royal Meeting at Raleigh.
There is to be need, at the city of
Raleigh, on October 81, convention of
the northern, eastern and western set
tiers, in the state of North Carolina, to-
gather with all others who have immi-
grated to the south. 1t is very desirable
these settlers shall be united in their
purpose of promoting the progress and
development Of the country. To this
end preliminary convention was held
in May, to appoint time for conycn-
ton in the fall. All northern men who
have settled in North Carolina or any
other southern state, are cordially in
vited to be present at this meeting.
A report has gone out that the north
ern settlers convention is to convene on
October ). 1t has been necessary to
change the slate in order to accommo-
date as large a number as possible.
Many settlers can't attend on an earlier
day, because Of the harvesting Of crops.
The time for the convention is there
fore changed from the 9Th to the 21st of
October, 1891, and will take place in the
exposition building.
Any who desire to attend will learn
particulars by addressing communications
to W. III. CHAMBERLAIN,

HIS HARD LINES.
A Case That Has Not Been Disposed OF
Properly by the Commissioners.

A Case That Has Not Been Disposed OF
Properly by the Commissioners.
The case of L. D. Vann excites sym
pathY.
OF course he is pauper-but how did
you make your money?
Vann is aphysical wreck. lie is eaten
up with rheumatism and cannot sit down
with any comfort. This is a fact.
Vann is a human being and all things
considered can read his title about as
clear as many other people.
The county commissioners fired him
because he was convicted on the evil
dence of one Of the most depraved
women on the earth, of some moral laxi-
ties.
lie was an inmate of the poor house.
He had been accepted and if he engaged
in the business charged to him the
keeper is to blame and not Nann.
On the same grounds of reasoning if a
convict in the penitentiary would do
wrong the warden of that institution
would turn the convict out.
Vann is entitled to some decent re-
spect and there is no human law on
earth which says that he must sleep out
as he is now obliged to do. The COM
missioners may have discovered much
out at the place, but Vann is still en-
titled to the countY's charity. If the
rules and regulations are wrong the
commissioners should fire the keeper.
This is the logic of it and all the talk
that he must go is absurd. He is unable
to work and is pauper and the county
which once accepted him must take him
back.
We would be pleased to have Mr.
Stokes attempt to explain his positio n
in this case.
p The GLOBE is not defending beggars
or paupers, but Vann is entitled to de-
cent treatment and he is not receiving it.

Farmer joe daniels arrived in the town
this morning, and had with him his new

How are the crops" he asked.
Il feel that it is my deliberate opinion,

to say that my paster and cutter is in

And farmer daniels got on his sulky
hay rake and drove down Main street.

And End to the Talk of Trouble Upon the
Local Railroads.
Frank Sweeney, Grand Master of the
Switchmen's s Mutual Aid Association, came
on from Chicago yesterday and was present
last evening at the usual meeting Of Lodge
62. As result of his visit the agitation
which has been going on for some time is
quieted, and all chances OF strike averted.
The meeting was largely attended, and
continued Tor five hours, terminating at 2
o'clock this morning. At the conclusion
Mr.. Sweeney made the following statement
in reply to questions:
Il came here, 2 he said, sin response to a
communication l. received from some.of the
more conservative members of the organiza-
tion. ] do not act in reply to kilograms, as
it requires certain legal form 10 enable
me to move. The agitation which
has been going on here was originated and
sustained by a few irresponsible hot-heads
whom have found it necessary to expel
from, the order. One OF these was Mr..
Frank T. Howley, master, and three men,
bers of Gilt Edge Lodge No. 62. The charter
OF Monitor Lodge No. lii, at Elenwood, has
also been Cancelled for fagrant violation
of the constitution. The grievances pre-
sented were absurdly framed. The men
here do not receive as good pay as they do
in other yards, but they have lately received
substantial increase and are satisfied.
Any grievances that may exist will be pre-
sented in proper manner when the time
comes.

KENTUCKY HORSE NEWS,
Great Records Made During Last Year by

SPECIAL TELEGrAM TO THE DISPATCH,
LEXINGTON, Jan. 2-The racing season be-

BELLEFoNTE, Jan. 4-This week there was
filed in the Recorders Office of Central county

ing the Beech Creek Railroad, with all its ap-
purtenances, etc., to the New York Central

time specified above.
This Is but another turn IN the furthering of
a scheme that the Vanderbilts have had in
view for number of years-shs holding of u
competing line to the Pennsylvania system. 1t
now only remains to build about so miles more
from New York to Chicago. and with q few
branches built to the important manufact.
uring and trade center IN this State. they will
be on good basis to compete with the Penn

A Lively Fight in Prospect Between the

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
BEDFORD, Jan. 4-The fight for the postoffice
here promises from now on to grow interest
ing. The fact that Postmaster Rush has but
six weeks more to serve has put the trio of ap.
plicants to work. All have sent in large petit
tions to the local leaders 1t looks as if the fight
will center down between Editor Mann and
Marion Cessna, who together have the influ-
ence of the local leaders, while some few think
James SlcManes. the Philadelphia leader will
be able. through his friend Wanamaker. to se-
cure the appointment for Mrs. James Dallas
who is a sister to McManes' son-in, Jaw, the Rev.
Lawrence Calfelt.
From the fact that Mrs.-Dallas is not a resi-
dent OF Bedford, but lives in the township adjon-
g.her appointment would not give the satisfac-
tion that Mann or Cessna would to the majority
of the citizens. Hon. John Cessna during the
coming week will 60 to Washington to inter-
view the President and Congressman Scull in
the interest of his son. John II. Jordan goes
to Harrisburg on Tuesday and from there will
likely go to Washington to present Editor
Mann's side of the case to the President and
have Congressman Scull commit himself, which
SO far he has declined to do.

From the same source it is learned that
DAVIS and Elkins have begun negotiations with
the Baltimore and Ohio people for the purchase
OF the Grafton and Green Brier road, which
they will broaden and extend TO Elkins and
and then make a traffic arrangement with that
company TO use the main line from Grafton to

Residents of Niles Who Gave Their Good
Money to a Sharpen.
ESPECIAL TEL EGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
YOUNGSTOWN. Jan. 4-During the past
month a smooth talker named E. C. Linn
visited Miles and organized branch of the st.
Paul Savings and International Society, which
he claimed was a gilt-edged organization with
paId-up capital of s2,GoO.000. He succeeded
in getting Sl2 800 of stock taken on which the
members paid $3.50 Soon after his departure
the members became suspicious and upon
making an investigation discovered that they
had been victimized. and that the 81 000C COO
capital consisted of 400 acres of unimproved
land lying nine miles from ST. Paul.
To-day information was received from st.
Paul that the society is fraud. and that the
scheme is being worked successfully in many
cities and towns. The victims of Linn in Niles
are trying TO obtain clue to him, and will
cause his arrest for obtaining money under
false pretenses.
