Tho Senators Did Much In the Direction
of the Now Organization.
WASHINGTON, D. G., March lo.-The
senators composing the Democratic
caucus committee appointed for tho pur-
pose of revising the senate committees
adjourned this evening after n third sos-
sion lasting six hours. "We have ac-
complished much to-day" said n OF
the members, although we arc not yet
through with the assignments. 1t is
possible the committee will finish to-
morrow and then report to a caucus
which may be called after the session Of
the senate Monday or Tuesday morn
ing, for II the senate committees are
not r%eorganized by Monday, the session
will BIO very brief and adjournment will
in all probability be taken for another
three days, SO that the Democrats can
in the meantime complete the work of
reorganization. Tho fact that. all con-
firmRtions are being held back, and that
the appointees OF Mr.. Cleveland cannot
hold Office until they are confirmed, is
an incentive sufficient to cause the COM
mittee to be as expeditions as possible
and they are losing NO time.

The test well that is being put down
on the farm of John Lewis. in Perry
township, near Perry church, shows
every indication that the test is to be a
success. The well was to have been put
down 1000 feet, but the other day work
suddenly stopped. OF course the mys-
terious maneuvering that goes on
around all test wells is not absent in
this case, and probably it is just as well
that everybody cannot find out what
the test has brought to light or is likely
to bring to light, but one thing is cer-
tain, good flow of gas has been struck.
and Ne,cs representative who has been
on the ground declares that the sand
shows strong indications of oil. What
the next move will be cannot be known.

A Ba.hfui Lord of Other Dav,.

There was a young lover who was a
,ompound-very rare-of high rank and
great abilities, with sweetness, great
modesty and shyness. Most noble lords
know their own value and behave ac-
,ordingly. This noble lord, however,
was modest. He thought himself so far
80 very far-below the worth Of the
young lady whom he loved that he was
afraid to speak. Some women do not
understand this modesty. Believe me,
ladies', It's sure and certain sign Of a
aoble character, because only q lofty
soul can conceive the existence of a god.
less. We measure others, you see, by
ourselves. 1t is also q sure sign of love,
because such man can only love wo-
man whom he deeply respects. Encour-
age this modesty, my daughters. Above
all, do not laugh at it. This young man,
therefore, was afraid to speak, and the
1elay, which is at first, / am told, pleas
ing and exciting, began to grow monoto-
ious.
One day they were playing cards for
money, after the fashion Of their gen.
,ration. The lady won; the loser paid.
ut is" he said, "half crown. Iwish
indeed IL were crown"
"At least" replied the lady, "your
ordship can give me coronet."
And behold miraclel For his tongue
was loosened, and his eyes glowed, and
ais lips spake. They lived happy, one

Richards Is railroader and had Just

He did not have any insurance.
Sykes, Allis 4 Moorehouse are heavy
losers. Their hard earned money
made a big fire for short time, but a
heap Of twisted iron Is of little value.
Mr.. Moorhouse always slept in the mill
and kept his clothing there and all the
clothing he had left after the fire was
his working outdt-hat, pants, shirt,
shoes and stockings.
Twenty-eight persons were thrown of
employment. Jonathan Whitmore had

David Cochran was in such bad condi-
tion when he got home from the fire a
doctor was called.
Fred. Alexander returned from the
fire and took bath and put on dry
underwear and tainted away.
a few of the firemen ran to the fire
with good suits of clothes on which
were not worth much after the fire was
over.
some oi the West Reynoldsville peo-
pie will certainly feel more friendly
towards the Reynoldsville water COM
pany than they did week ago. A hose
and good water force is very handy

appear to be an evidence of cunning

20 adopt this very simple method Of in
,ubation. However, it has its disadvan-
ages, for while she is away getting q
good dinner her enemy, the white necked
,row, spies the unguarded nest. He
xnows he cannot break one of those
mammoth eggs and devises a shrewd
plan to help him. Taking stone in his
peak he flies over the spot, calculates
with bird sagacity the necessary dis
lance and drops the stone. PUNK! An
egg is broken, and he descends to his
least. This is said to be the same kind

pointed out by Professor w. G. Kernot
II the Melbourne university, Australia,
n a paper before the Victorian Institute
II Engineers. In an actual trial class
II students averaging 1895 pounds each
IN weight were crowded In lobby con-
tanning ,823 square feet, making an av-
rage floor load of 134.7 pounds. There
was still room to have placed another
man, which would have brought up the
loading to 1881 pounds per square foot.
Professor Kernot also quoted from
Stoney, who placed SO Irish laborers
averaging 1853 pounds each in weight In
an empty ship deckhouse measuring 81
square feet floor area. This was load
Of 147.4 pounds per square foot. In an
other test, with 20 laborers crowded into
hut feet by 8 feet 8 inches, Stoney
produced a load Of 143 pounds per
square foot and estimated that two or
three more men could have been squeezed
In. 1t appears from these experiments
that while the figures ordinarily assumed
Of 80 to 100 pounds are sufficiently cor
rect for spaces on which there Is no
cause to induce the collection Of great
crowds, larger figures, say 14O to 100
pounds per square foot, should be used
Tor railway stations and platforms, en-
frances and exits to places of public as
semblies or Of Office buildings, bridge
sidewalks, pavements over vaults and
other places where dense crowds are
likely to gather. r.-Engineerin News.
