BEAVER MEADOW.

Mr.. J. c. Hayden, of Jeanesville,
president Of the Spring Mountain Coal
company, whose properties are suffi-
ciently near the burning Honey Brook
mines to be in danger, is a Startford
guest. The Spring Mountain coal is
taken in part from strippings similar
to those at Hollywood aud Milnesville,
and the field was opened when the
Beaver Meadow section was begun, If
the Honey Brook mines are closed de
flnitely by fire this entire region stands
in the line of destruction also if the
flames cannot be cut off. Mr.. Hayden
hoy ever, anticipates no such trouble.

most conspicuous citizen just now is
the gentleman who only six days
ago was summoned to the highest
place of honor in the nation. Since
the election, which, resulted so tri-
umphan' ! in his favor, Mr.. Cleve-
land has vanished from public view.
With the exception of few words
addressed to the throng in front of
his house in the small hours that
morning, no utterance of public i'm
port has fallen from the President
elect. He renamed in the privacy
of his home, closeted with his sec
rotary, and absorbed in the gigantic
task of attending to the mass of cor
respondence which reaches him daily.
To representatives of the press, Mr..
Cleveland has denied himself alb
solutely, and all such enquirers have
been met at the door with the ster,
eotyped statement: "Mr. Cleveland
has nothing to say" To a few in
innate personal and political friends
only has he been visible. Among
them are ex Secretary Whitney, Sen
ator German, Congressman Little
and Richard Watson Glider. 1t was
at first rumored that Mr.. Cleveland
was engaged iii the preparation of q
statement which he would make pub

rotary 0'Brien. Said he; u DOM

through Central Park, returning il

pened since 1876. Mr.. Cleve,

1883 it was %, 017. The increase

today said that in the recent
contest Pennsylvania Demo
ocrats had contributed most
largely to the campaign fund,
and that most of the money had
been collected in very small
amounts, The committee, he
says, was enabled TO pay all ex-

and is entirely free from
trouble. Mr.. Harrity is about

The reply to the English
counter-case in the Behring Sea
negotiations is approaching
completion at the State Depart
ment, and will soon be ready
for the United States counsel to
lay before arbitrators. The
work of preparingthe reply has
been going on for some weeks
at the State Department under
the direct charge of Secretary
John w. Foster. The lawyers
and clerks who are engaged in
the work have been shut up in
a large room in the Department,
and ne one from the outerworld
has been allowed TO enter the
room. Ex-Minister Phelps and
Justice Harlan have not per-
sonally been at the State De
partment during the preparation
of the case in which they are
arbitrators, but they have been
in correspondence with their
younger representatives, and
every point made has besn care
fully gone over by Secretary
Foster. The purpose of the
officials is TO carefully weigh
every point made on behalf Of
the United States so as to put il
in the clsarest and strongest
language and TO study its rela-
tons with every other point, so
as to avoid conflict or compro-
missing admissions. The case
of the United States will be ex.
actly logical and as forcible as
the combined skill of several
able lawyers can make it. The
representatives of the United
States before the high court Of
arbitration will leave this coun-
try in q few weeks for Paris
where the court will sit. The
original case Of the United
States and the British counter.
case are already in print and
have been submitted to the
counsel on both sides. It is moi
intended, however, to make any
of the arguments public unit
the award is made and accepted
by the two countries. The en-.
tire case will then probably be
sent to Congress by the Presi.
! dent and printed In the British

For many years the Republic

ON several occasions it seemed
that death was almost inevi-
table, but not until Tuesday
Nov. s, 1892 did she yield to the
grim monster. The Force Bill
was one of her favorite msdi-
cines, but its inability to &C
complish the desired end has
rendered it an ineffective medi-
cine, so its manufacturers must
Weld to the inevitable-the
clsing down of the factory
without hopes of ever reopen

monopolists, rendered large aid
to save the life of the wayward
child, but all to no purpose. as
the disease was of long standing
and no good physicians at hand
We tender our sincere sym
pathies to the mourning sons
and daughters in this sad hou
bereavement, and recommend
them to the Democratic party
who will look after them with
the tendersst care. It is moi
ours to say what the future stats
of the deceased is, but judging
from the long life just closed
it surely cannot be an enviabl'
one.

gees who seek asylum under the

There is a decidedly pleased feel
ing in official circles over the news
that Russian war ship had captured
one American and several Canadian
vessels caught sealing in waters
over which the Russian government
claims jurisdiction. The claim Of
Russia is precisely that made by
this government over Behring's Sea,
and Great Britain, if she is con.
sistent, must contest the claim and
try to secure satisfaction for the
seizure Of the four Canadian sealers,
thus placing herself in the same
relation towards Russia in which
she now stands towards the United
States. And the recognition by the
United States Of the right OF
Russia to seize an American vessel
caught sealing in the prohibited
waters will prejudice any claim that
Great Britain may make for in.
demnity, On the other hand, if
Great Britain fails to attempt to
compel Russia to make reparation
for making the seizures she will
prejudice her own case in the con.
troversy with the United States
soon to be arbitrated.

JoHN L. SULLIVAN, "the invinci-
ble," is no longer such. He was
artistically whipped by Jas. Corbett
at New Orleans last Wednesday
night, in twenty-one rounds, for a
purse of $35, 900. The contest was
void Of the disgusting brutality so
common on such events. 1t was, in
the main, an exhibition Of the art
of boxing. The science and gener-
alship displayed by Corbett was
magnificent. He wore the cham
ion out first and then "put him to
sleep" OF course those who put
up their money on Sullivan az the
rate Of two and three to one have
cause for regret, but it is believed
that majority Of the American
people are satisfied with the result.
