The National tribune., 1892-03-24

Quite breeze was created in the House OF
Representatives on Wednesday. March 16, when
the Com mittee on Accounts submitted a rcsolu.
ton for the appointment of Is additional
folders in the document room. Mr. Holman,
of Indiana, was on hand. as usual, with mo-
ton to reduce the number TO IL, which was
combatted by Mr.. Seerley, of Iowa, aud Mr..
Dickerson, Of Kentucky. Mr. Fithian, of Illi-
nois. finally took a hand in the debate. and
told his fellow Democrats some pretty hard
truths. He said there were any amount of
messengers, doorkeepers and clerks to do moth
ing committees who could be detailed to do
the work that these 10 additional folders were
to be appointed to do, and that not one half of
the employees Of the House did an honest DAVIS
work. He warned his fellow Democrats that
if they kept on adding additional employees to
the force of the House. they would soon have
record which would beat that of the Billion
dollar Congress. The resolution asking for
the appointment of the Is folders was passed by
quite a large majority, notwithstanding Mr..
Fithian's threatenings or Mr.. Holmans pro-
test.

Anthracite Castle, Knights of the Golden
Eagle, held a very interesting meeting last
evening. After the regular order of BUSH
ness P. c., Philip D, Holman, representa-
tive to the Grand Castle at Chambersburg,
gave a very interesting report of the con-
dition of the order, showing that of the
AS castles in the state over 30 we're in
stituted during the.past year. The order is
fast getting towards the front ranks of
secret societies and will soon reach the
desired haven. The team work of Grand

being surpassed, The Grand Castle will
meet in Lancaster next year and the town
castle will try and show its strength and
bring home one of the big prizes, as they
did two years ago, from the county seat of
Schuylkill.

Youthful Prodieies.

English newspapers are talking of a
little girl of ten who has rewritten the
books of Euclid, supplied new examples
and proved all her propositions. Youth
full prodigies are commonly supposed to
be a peculiar product of the forcing
process of American civilization, but
when they do appear in England they
compel admiration from their p~recocity.

Allcoek's Plasters fill the body with

DIED AFTER AMPUTATION.

Mrs. Jacob Brandt submits to a Severe
Operation and Does not Survive.
The Wilkes-Barre Record of Monday
says Mrs. Celia, wife OF Jacob Brandt,
whose husband is proprietor of the tobacco
store on South Main street, near Public
Square, died Sunday morning after the
amputation of one of her legs above the
knee, Some time ago a very small sore,
not much larger than pins head, appeared
on the foot near the sole and no at
tention was paid to it. 1t kept on in
creasing and getting more painful and the
family became alarmed and summoned
physicians, who saw that something must
be done or blood-poisoning, and probably
death, would result. They advised ampu-
tation as the best course to take. This al
Tentative seemed so hard that Mr.. Brandt
determined to call on still another physi-
clan and surgeon, one from New York and
he at once agreed with the physicians Of
Wilkes-Barre. On Saturday the leg was
taken off considerably above the knee and
the sufferer bore up under the shock right
brsvely. But it was too severe, the disease
too tar advanced, and Sunday morning at
6 o'clock she died. Blood poisoning had
resulted from the gsngrene and the smpu-
~tation, although a last resort, probably
would not have stayed the progress Of the
disease. Mrs. Brandt was 80 years of age
and was a sister of Max Reese, of town,
who attended the funeral at that place
yesterday.
