Tie Panama Canal Enterprise

PANAMA, via. GALVESTON, Texas,
april 25, 1S92.-The canal enterprise is
threatened with total collapse. The
government, having removed the chain
across the channel entering the canal
which the canal company had placed
there TO prevent traffic, the company has
now chained the canal itself.
This will stop produce and timber
RATS descending to port. A high gov
ernment official says the canal people
having sold a portion of the machinery
in violation OF the concession, the gov
ernment will probably annul the con
tract in protection OF its industrial indus

W. E. 0ller also accompanied the party.
Each bore huge and carefully filled basket
of substantials for respective and lucky
members of Co. E. They were received
at Camp Black in a most hospitable man.
ner by the superior officers, and Col. W.
T. Mechling and Capt. Ira McJunkin were
especially courteous.
The boys were very glad to see their
mothers and sister, and seemed just about
as much leased with the dinner spread
for them by the party.
Everything at camp seemed quiet, but a
more serious feeling was observable, trace
able to the shooting of Mr.. Frick Regard
ing the Iams affair it was held that he de-
served severe punishment and expulsion
from the service. There was some differ
ence of opinion regarding the hanging up
by the thumbs.
The soldiers look well-bronzed and
hearty-and their camp life is probably
destined to become joyful reminiscence
to them some day. At present it seems
mouotonous.

NEIGHBoRHooD NOTES.

The New Castle CourGnt tells this
story on Lawrence county man: One of
the citizens of Pulaski townahip has been
an extensive raiser of turkeys, and his
method is somewhat peculiar. Early in
the spring he sets in the neighborhood OF
100 turkey eggs under the common barE-
yard hens: In nearly every case the eggs
were hatched When the ''turklets" be-
came old enough to take care ofthemselves,
the owner of them chased his brood to the
woods, where they thrived and grew fat on
what they could pick up. The owner did
not see the birds for months. Shortly be-
fore Thanksgiving, which is known as tur-
key harvest, the man referred to went out
into the woods for miles around and chased
all the turkeys he could find into his barn
yard. He then counted out 10l and penned
them up, chasing the others away. He
had set one hundred eggs in the spring
and calculated that there ought to be one
hundred turkeys. The extra one captured
was for the trouble he had in driving them
home.
During one of the recent thunder storms,
John F. Raney, aged l6, of Pardoe, Mercer
county, was killed by lightning while
building load of hay which his father and
grandfather were pitching on the wagon.
The men were slighly stunned, and one
horse was knocked down. The boy was
struck on the left side of the head, extend
ing down his left side, tearing the clothes
from his body.
Bradford was visited by q terrific hail
storm last Friday afternoon, during which
hailstones two inches in diameter fell
The roof of the st. James hotel was torn
off and the house deluged. The loss in
the town is estimated at $4,000.
Jack Cooley the notorious outlaw Of
Fayette Co., was killed while trying to rob
a spring house near Fairchance, last
Thursday night. The spring house had
been robbed several times, and the farmer
loaded gun with buckshot, and placed it
in the milk house, with the muzzle point
ing towards the door, and the trigger con-
nected by string with the door. Jack
was the first to enter the door and received
the charge in his stomach. His compan-
ions carried him away and he died next
day.

A Local Strike.

Butler was the scene Of an interesting
little "strike,' last week, that came about
this way.
Geo. ShafTner, non union stonemason
has the contract for the cellar walls OF the
l.. J. McCandless house on South Main
street, and also that for the wall in front
of the Jefferson street school-building, and
the masons he employed to help him with
the jobs we're all union men excepting
William Barr, of the West End, who was
employed on the Jefferson street job.
The Bricklayeriand Stonemason's Union
of Butler had me citing few nights ago
and resolved to 'strike unless Barr was
discharged, and so informed Shaffner next
day Shaffner paid the Union men, and
hired some non-union men. to assist Barr
finish both jobs, and on Monday work was
progressing on both.
Shaffner says that Barr was the best
man he had; that some of the men who
struck learned what they know of their
trade under him, and that they expressed
regret at leaving their work but said "our
union says we mustn't
Barr is an old stonemason who has liyed
in Butler for several years, and he says he
will finish both jobs.
Shaffer also has the contract for the
foundation of the Patterson building, and
is going ahead with it, and whether this
will be followed by trouble with union
bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers, painters,
etc, remains to be seen.

Timely Health Suggestions.

A recent circular from the State Board
Of Health gives the following hints and ad-
vice:
Cholera morbus is caused by improper
food and sudden chilling of the body after
exposure to great heat. Certain substances
will produce it in certain persons, such for
instance as veal, raw milk taken with fish,
or shell fish, and all dishes cooked with
milk such as rice pudding, and even ice
cream, when kept too long. Unripe and
over-ripe fruit, especially when taken with
draughts of ice water, will cause it; but
sound, ripe fruit is natural food in hot
weather and wholesome. Avoid becoming
chilled during sleep. In climate as
changeable as ours, light blanket should
always be at hand, to be drawn up in case
it suddenly becomes cold during the night.
Persistent summer diarrhea is usually
caused by NAL aria, sewer air or impure
water The conditions liable to contami-
nate air and water, should he carefully
sought out and remedied. The water can
be rendered safe by boiling.
AS dysentry is often epidemic, 1t is wise
to consider every case as a posi- bic
source of danger to others and to disinfect
the discharges with care.
