POSTMASTER BARKER was in Pittsburg,
last week, at a meeting that Senator
Quay had with the Republican mana
gers in the western part of the State.
1t has since come to pass that Quay and
Harrison, will not likely be utilizing the
same quill and it may bother Post
master Barker to be a good Harrison
man and a strong adherent of Quay's at
the same time. Collector Brooks, of
Philadelphia, was recently relieved of a
lot of patronage on account of his being
hustling for some one other than Harri-
son, and it has been as good as officially
given out that federal Office holders are
expected 70 recognize the hand that
feeds them and help the administration
if it comes to a fight with Quay.

Under Five Tons of Coal.

NoRRIsTowN. Pa, January 2.-Five
tons of coal fell upon Richard Kelly, an
inmate of the NorristOwn asylum, and
he was not discovered for two hours.
Kelley has been in the hospital several
years, having come from Downington,
Chester county, and he was very slight
ly affected. He and five others were
ordereh to unload a car of pea coal to-
day. He was working under the car
trying to knock out the pins that held
the door.
While one went for a crowbar, an
other patient opened the lock with a
pick. The coal rushed down on Kelly,
completely burying him. His absence
was not observed for two hours When
workmen were carrying away the coal
they found the dead body. The coroner
is sinvestigating the case. DIR. Chase, a
resident physician, says he is surprised
that the patients were allowed to work
without a supervisor.

Guarding Milli0naiTeS.

New YORK, Jan. >. The attempt to
blow up Russell Sage has put the other
men who handle many millions on their
guard, and some Of them have regular
guards now. Russell Sage himself, Jay
Gould and Cornelius Vanderbilt are the
three men all minds turn to iustinctivcly
when cranks with bombs are mentioned.
Sage. since the great explosion, has a
constant guard. Colonel Slocum Or-Dr.
Mum, or colored servant * constant

Jay Gould was greatly affected 10y the
assault upon sage, and the first thing he
did was to take his name off the door Of
his private office. There i no outward
sign whatever 10y which to distinguish
his room from the many others
He l. very rarely seen since NorcroSs
threw the bomb, except in the company
of one or both Of his sons, George and
Eddie. Both entrances TO his house are
guarded day and night by men servants.
Cornelius Vanderbilt does not guard
himself, but his friends keep a close
watch upon him. Chauncey DepeW and
Vice President Webb quietly have guards
on the lookout, all the while.

Liquor at the Clubs.

The decision of Judge Pennypacker
that social clubs cannot sell liquor with
out a license has brought with it more
trouble for the club men. Should the
Supreme Court affirm the lower Courts
rulings and insist upon a license being
taken out, it will be .ery soon proven
that club cannot take out license
under the present law unless it sells to
whosoever may apply.
Another portion of the present law
which worries the club men Is the fact
that in applying for a license it must be
distinctly stated in the petition that the
applicant is the only person in amy
manner interested pecuniarily in the
business, and that no other person shall
be pecuniarly interested during the con-
tinuance of the license. The section re-
lating to public houses also gives much
concern to those interested. If license
is granted they are confronted with evi-
dence Of conducting public house and
the club rooms would have to be thrown
open for everyone who applied for a
drink

Ould Rather Burn.

WILKEsBARRE, January 3.-Charles
Wall, the Wyoming county wife muir
derer, has addressed letter to Govern
or Pattison asking for his excellency to
authorize the authorizes of Wyoming
county to burn him (WalD to death in
stead of inflicting the death-penalty by
the usual mode of hanging. Wall muir
dered his wife with on axe last June.
He was jealous. On the morning of the
murder he lay in wait for his wife.
When she appeared in the back yard he
knocked her down with an axe and
nearly severed the head from the body.
The murderer is repentant now. He
spends all of his time in reading the
Bible He thinks hanging would be too
good for him, and that death in a more
horrible form would he more befitting
his crime. Wall is not insane. The
jail physician says he is perfectly sane.
He has no idea of committing suicide.

ST PETERSBURG, Jan. 4.-Intelligence

physician who had been practicing at
that place recently became i'll, and, to
all appearances, died. The body was

CONSERVATION, but in short time their
courage returned Sherels we're prncur-

Upon opening the coffin it was found

AIoNG the decisions Of the Supreme
Court, handed down on Monday last at
Philadelphia, was that Of Caroline Davis
against Felix Mcknight, which sustains
the decision OF the Common Pleas Court,
of Allegheny county, granting recov-
erv under a statute little known and sell
dom invoked which makes saloon-keep-
ers responsible in damages for injuries
resulting from their sale of liquor TO IN
toxicated persons. On a night IN Octo-
bcr. 1889. Robert Davies, the husband OF
the plaintiff, became very much lntoNI-
Gated on liquor furnished by the defend
ant. and on his way home fell in gut
ter and lay there. The gutter was
full OF water and the unfortunate
man contracted IN attack of pneumonia
from which he died \ jury gave his
widow substantial damages. The saloon
kcepcrs's only grounds of defense were
that the liquor was not the proXimate
cau.. If death and that what Davies
drank ne drank Voluntarily. The de
cision Is one that all saloon-kecpers
should make q note of and conduct their
business in such Il way as to keep their
customers from carrying more than
twenty pounds to the square inch.

says: The United States Supreme Court
10y a vote Of Is to 3. has reversed the decision
of the Supreme Court in Nebraska by
which Governor Boyd was unseated and
Governor Thayer allowed to hold over on
the ground Of Governor Boyd's disquaH
fcation, it having been asserted that ne
was not a naturulizcd citizen. His citi-
zenship has been affirmed 10y the Su-
preme Court, both because of his own
act in taking out final naturalization pa
pers when his citizenship was brought
in question, ard 10y virtue Of the act of
Congress admitting Nebraska into the
Union, which provided that all its in
habitants should be citizens. The New

THE Mckinley bill, says the Pittsbusg
Post, put tariff of . per cent al valor-
EN- on watches, watch cases, movements
and crystals As in all other instances,
this was professedIy to enable the Amer
lean watch manufacturer to compete
with his European rival without lower
ing the wages Of the American working
man. Yet the news Is that the en-
plovos Of the Waltham Watch Company
are about to strike on account of re-
cent reduction III their wages. and that
for the same reason certain of the en-
pIoyes of the Elgin Ull.) National Watch
Company have already struck and 3 900
more are getting ready to go out. The
fact i that high tariff enables manu-
factmes to establish a monopoly and
pay what wages they will. Where com

How from the political change in New

sautatives in the State Legislature. For
many years the Republicans, holding the

pcrsistcntly refused to obey the law re-
quiring an equal distribution Of repre-
sentatiyeS among the people. While the
Democrats have had Il majority in the

have been enabled to send United States

years old in May. Its inventor was a
printer James Chalmers. of Dundee,
Scotland, who died in 1858. England,
fifty-two years ago, introduced the new
system of prepaying letter postage, and
according to a decree of Dec. 81, 1889,
issued the first stamps, which were to be
put before the public on May 6 of the
following year. A year later they were
introduced in the United States and

Veteran and Bow,

A bright little boy, whose home is in
neighboring city, numbers among his
adult friends grand army veteran
whose name for storytelling purposes
may he called Rose. The boy had lis
tened eagerly and with absorbing in
terest to Mr.. Roses descriptions of the
battles that he had helped to fight dur
ing the war of the rebellion. The
storyteller, although not a braggard,
had the true story telling instinct, and
he did not forget to mention the con-
spicuous part that he took in the various
battles. The conflict of which Mr.. Rose
loved best to talk was the battle Of
Gettysburg. 1t was in that con pihct
that his own prowess shone 20 the
greatest advantage. AS his own recol-
lection ran, he took such an important
part in that fight THAT, in the imagin-
alton of his impressionable young lis
tener, his personality dominated the
historic scene. Not long ago the boys
father took him to see realistic pano-
rama of Gettysburg. The boy was
all eyes and enthusiasm. He scarcely
heard the terse description that his
father undertook to give him of the
famous battle, but after feasting his
eyes upon the scene he turned to his
parent and inquired: "Pa, is this the
place where Mr.. Rose worlsed?"-N. Y.
