A Nife's Awful Deed.

SELINGERovE, Pa, Aug. 6.-An inves-
ugatiOn has been started to fathom the
mysterious death of Mrs. Charles Sven
gle, or Franklin township, this county
Mrs. Swengle was before her marriage
the belle of that locality. Her father is
Prothonotary ]. c. Schoch, of Snyder
county. Last week Mrs. Swengle one
morning complained of neuralgia pains,
and told her maid, Minnie Hummel,
that she would take morphine powder
She took a powder and was soon
suffering horribly. 4 doctor was sum-
mOned, but Mrs. Swengle died in five
minutes. DR.. Hassinger said the symp-
toms resembled strychnia poisoning.
When Mr.. Swengle, the husband, was
questioned he said he had bought two
grains of strychnia to poison a weasel,
and three morphine powders. The dis
trict attorney is investigating the case
and the dead woman's stomach is now at
the Jefferson Medical College, Philadel-
phia, where it is undergoing an exami-
nation.

A Strange Illness.

PoTTsTowN, Pa, Aug. S.-The re-
markable case of Mrs. W. \. Vanderslice
is pulling the doctors of this place
Saturday week Mrs. Vanderslice, who re-
sides at Collegeville, came here to visit
her parants, who reside on Laurel street
On the following Monday at O'Clock
Mrs. Vanderslice suddenly tainted, but
a doctor revived her and she was ap-
pearantly all right for several hours
Just as she was about to retire she again
became unconscious, and it was thought
she was dead.
The doctor who was called pronounced
her alive, but could not bring her back
to consciousness. She lay apparently
without breathing until Wednesday,
when she rallied, spoke few words and
returned to her cataleptic state Since
then she has remained apparently with
out life. There is no known cause for
her strange illness.

Will Boycott Carnegie Products.

New YORK, Aug. S.-President Sam
uel Gompers, of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, was seen at his office this
afternoon. Mr.. Gompers said that it was
more than likely that the American
Federation of Labor, 60, 900 strong,
would boycott the steel made by Andrew
Carnegie at Homestead and other places
This means that every employer who
uses Carnegie steel will be blacklisted and
the union men in his employ will be
called out on a strike. 1t will practi-
cally paralyze big building operations all
over the country if what Mr.. Gompers
says actually comes to pass. 1t will put
stop to railroad building, as the Car
negie works manufacture a large part of
the steel rails used in this country. 1t
Will also put stop in a large measure to
government boat building.

CAPITAL, says an exchange, takes good
care of itself. Monopoly is shrewd and
smart in securing protection to itself and
absolute control of prices in the home
market, while it gives labor an affection
ate ''lick and a promise" Capital says,
''vote for your interests, no matter about
the question of justice, equality, right
and wrong. Vote for me and my accu-
mutations, or l will reduce your wages
and squeeze you to the level of want, "
and in some instances labor, forgetting
its wonderful power of self-defense, has
in times past yielded its judgment to the
mercileSs extortioner, but in the coming
contest the tricks and frauds of the willy
schemcrs have been seen through and
their overturns VIII be repudiated.

Ties on the Track.

MUsKBGoN, Mich, Aug. 6.-The Grand
Rapids Methodist Episcopal camp-meet-
ing is being held at Hackley Park AS
sembly grounds at Lake Harbor, six
miles south of this city, and is attended
by large number of people. The Lake
Harbor railway affords means of transit.
Last evening after services the train was
returning to the city, when the passen-
gers were startled by the train stopping
suddenly. 1t was found that four ties
had been placed across the track at vari-
Gus intervals and deliberate attempt
made to wreck the train. The plan
would have succeeded if the train had
been running rapidly. The discovery
of the obstruction was made by Conduc-
tor Wren, who was standing on the rear
steps, the train running backward.

THE annual money loss from strikes,
says the Philadelphia Record, is greater
than the average yearly losses from foods
and shipwrecks. Some less expensive
way should be devised of settling quar-
relS between those who sell their labor
and those who buy it. There is, per-
haPs, something grand in the idea of
calling out an army to remedy the griev-
of workingmen; but it is financially
ruinous, and therefore Intellectual. The
theory that the injury Of one laboring
man is the concern of all, though it be
true, does not justify, in the attempt to
remedy the injury, a course of action
which would require greater sacrifice
upon the part of thousands than was
originally imposed upon a few persons.
Such a remedy is worse than the disease.
ample was brought on by a trihing cut
in the wages of a few persons. Before 1t
shall have been concluded, the plan of
settlement involving lockout, strikes,
riot, bloodshed, stoppage, litigation and
Intervention of the military will have
cost more than one million dollars. The
fruitless Building Trades strike just
ended in New York has cost 81 200, 900.
1t doesn't pay either the party that
succepdS or the one that loses And the
loss inflicted incidentally upon the gen.
eral public is so grievous, so irreparable
and so undeserved as to generate con-
tinually growing distrust of the capacity
of the Powderlys, Gomperses, O'Donnells
and other professional leaders Of labor
organizations for safe and prudent man
agement. They possibly mean well, but
they are overweighed with responsibilities
to which they are constantly showing
themselves unequal.

Rugged by a Big Snake.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Aug. A blacksnake
nine feet long that came to the slaughter
house to drink blood, attacked William
Hill, "A butcher, of roaring Creek Valley,
this morning. The monstrous reptile
wrapped itself about Hill and began to
tighten its awful coil. The butcher
made frantic efforts to cut the snake in
two with a jack knife. When almost
fainting with the terrible pain and fear,
Hill jabbed his knife in the snakes head.
He then killed it.

The Ajax Disaster.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 10.-The pleas
ure steamer that was reported in these
dispatches of Monday as having been
run down outside of Helsingfors was
named the Ajax. She was a coaster
and left Helsingfors on Sunday with 100
eXcursionists on board. Her return was
delayed, and she arrived off Helsingfors
after midnight.
When in the narrowest part of the
channel she collided with the steamer
Runeberg and sank in about a minute.
Despite the fact the people on the Rune
berg threw overheard everything that
would float to support those struggling
in the water, most of the Ajax people
were drowned. The last reports put
the number at 90 persons, with 50 bodies
recovered.

JUDGE RUMsEY, of the Supreme court
of New York, says the Philadelphia
Times, has decided that the Democratic
legislative apportionment of that state Is
unconstitutional. He declares 1t void
because of its inequalities in the popuia-
ton of districts made for partisan ends,
although the inequalities in the New
York Democratic gerrymander don't
approach the inequalities of the Repub-
Iican legislative gcrrymander in Penn
sylvania.
The decision of Judge Rumsey will be
speedily carried to the general term Of
the Supreme court and thence to the
court of appeals, and if the uncOnstitu-
tionality of the apportionment shall be
affirmed. an extca session of the legisla-
ture will be summoned TO enact a new
apportiOnment.
That TIE Democratic legislative appor-
tionment of New York is in violation of
the clear spirit and even of the plain
letter Of the Constitution, can't be doubt
ed. The direction of the New York SUI
preme law is precisely the same as the
| command of the Pennsylvania Consutu-
ton Both require legislative districts
to be equal in population ''as near as
may be, and both the Democratic leg
| islature of New York and the Republi
can legislature of Pennsylvania have
passed tlagrantly unconstitutlonatappor
ti0nments.
We hope that the Democratic court Of
appeals of New York will exhibit the
courage and intregity to declare the
truth by affirming the decision Of Judge
Rumsey. 1t will not only end gerry
manders in New York but 1t will enc
them in Pennsylvania. With the higt
judicial example Of honest courtsjn New
York and in the West, no Pennsylvania
court would stultify itself 10y giving judi
,cial approval to such infamous partisan
gerrymanders as now disgrace of state
