No License Needed.

Pittsburg, October 80 William
Reardon, ESQ, in criminal court today
raised point of law which amounts to
a legal sensation. He was defending
Thomas McQuirk, charged with perjury
for falsely swearing to the age Of the VIC
man he married, and Mr.. Reardon
moved to quash the indictment on the
ground that there was no such offense
under the law, as the marriage license
was not in force and no license was
required to be taken out by the parties
who desire to be married.
This caused Judge Magee to remark;
.'Why, Mr.. ReardOn, you surely don't
make such a statement in earnest.
II do, your honor, and can prove it.
The marriage license act was passed IN
1885, and was amended in 1898. By
that amendment on and after Oct. /,
1890, parties desiring to he married iii
this state must take out a license
The acts of 1880 and 1898 were sent
for and read to the court. Judge Magee
said that if the act was correctly printed
Mr.. Reardon was right and the present
marriage license law would not be in
force until 1895. By agreement of
counsel, a certified copy of the act was
sent for and the trial proceeded.
The point Is a new one and if sustained
will make Pennsylvania regular Gretna
Green, as any one can then be married
in this state without license.

are all thrown down. The people are
camping out in the neighborhood
Comparatively few were killed. as there
was "A general rush into the open when
the first shock came.
At times the shocks lasted twenty sin
seconds The scene was a horrible one,
women shrieking and fainting on every
hand as the walls came crushing down.
Two Sisters of Mercy were killed, and
many more are now entombed beneath
the ruins.
The governor fears that the killed and
wounded throughout the province must
number at least 1000, as many of the
oulving towns also suffered greatly.
From San Juan come reports that the
shocks continued during the night,
though they were less violent in charac-
ter Not a house in the town Is without
damage. 1t Is reported that IN various
parts of the province the ground opened
and geyser of boiling water and mud
SpOuted forth.

TUESDAY next is election day and it
behOOves every Democrat in Cambria
county to go to the polls and vote.
Cambria is close county politically but
we have majority if We get out our
vote. After the election, if we should
find some of our candidates defeated by
a small margin it will be a source of re-
gret to consider that there were suf-
ficient number of Democrats abstained
from voting to have changed the result.
We have a good ticket, all men worthy
of the support of every Democrat and
we owe it to our party, our candidates
and ourselves to give them every Demo
cratic vote. Go and vote and then see
that your neighbor votes.

Arcola, Ill, October pa terrible
accident attended the reception meeting

meE, William Layman and Thomas
Dougherty, started to recognize the oc-
caslon with discharge of a small can
non IN the open space, just behind the

The first discharge was successful. but
on the second the cannon exploded and
Layman Suffered the loss of both ewes.
while Dougherty's right hand was blown
off at the wrist and his right eye de
stroyed. Both were middle aged labor
ing men. The accident occurred

DESPITE the clerical error in the mar
riage license bill by which it is made to
read as going into effect October l, 1895,
instead of October l, 1898, couples in
tending to marry will have to procure a
license as heretofore. The mistake does
not lessen the force of the original act
of 1885, for the amendment of 1898
did not annul the act of 1895, it simply
supplemented it. Attorney General
Hensel, when questioned formally on
the subject last year, wrote to the clerk
of the license court at Philadelphia,
telling him to advise all inquirers that it
was still needful to procure license in
order to secure legal solemnization of
marriage.

THE new treatment by inoculation for
diphtheria and Group as practiced in
France is the subject of a special report
to the department of state by United
States Consul c. w. Chancellor at Havre
He says that by this method of treat
ment only one out of four diphtheritic
patients succumbs, whereas the figure is
double for other methods of treatment
heretofore employed. Consequently the
Consul, who is Baltimore physician of
repute, says that it would seem very de
sirable that the anti--diphtheritic serum
should be introduced and come into gen
eral use at the earliest period practicable
in America, where many thousand child
rem and numerous physicians, students
and nurses die annually from diphtheria
and Group.

The employees of the Western New
York and Pennsylvania railway held a
meeting last week to decide what
action should be taken towards secur-
ing restoration of the 10 per cent. re-
duction which was made seven months
ago. The men decided not to strike.
but to seek restoration by bringing suit
in the courts. 1t was unanimously de-
icided that the men should sue the road
on this proposition. The men claim to
have a precedent in the case of the
Omaha and st. Louis railway, which
road was compelled by the courts to re-
store a reduction.

GOVERNOR BoIEs of Iowa says since the
Republican party was organized the
country has passed through three tinan-
cial panics, including the present, and
every one of them an be traced to some
we'll known act of that party, and no
one of them to any act of the Democrat
| ic party.
Tie first, in 1857, was the result of
the succeSs of the party in most of the
Northern states on purely sectional
| issue that involved the country in our
| civil war.
In 1878 the Republican party being
in undisputed control of every branch of
the national government, silver was de
| followed.
In 1898 looted treasury. turned ov
er to the Republicans four years before
overfiowed with gold, together with
vicious legislation, for which that party
and none other was responsible, brought
on our present panic.
1t is enough to make decent men of
all parties blush with shame to see men
who ought to be above the ways of the
ward politician strive to fasten the re-
sponsibility for this panic on party
that has not enacted a law in thirty
years; that has been absolutely powerless
to establish a policy of any kind oI
| shane in the least degree the financial OF
business policy of this great nation
The tiimsy and frivolous pretext upon
which this claim is based is want OF
confidence by the people of the United
states in a party upon which they them
selves conferred the only power it car
possibly exercise, and this, too, before
a single act of that party legislative, po
litical or otherwise, has been accom-
plished.
The charge is an insult to the intelli
gence of every American citizen and St
fiagrantiy false that none but the mos
ignorant could accept it as true. AnC
yet it is with this charge that Republi
can politicians the country over art
striving to whip back into the RepubG
can party the workingmen of this ma
ton that they may thereby again gair
control of the government, the affairs
of which for more than quarter of
century they have managed in the in
terests OF the rich at the expense of tn,
poor.

effect business and industries immedi-

OF the country. 1t is likewise a fact that
no amount of clamor or falsehood can
deny, viz: AS soon as the Mckinley
monopoly tariff law went into effect re-
ductions of wages. labor riots, business
depression, bank failures and financial
stringency began. During the first two
years of the Mckinley law wages were
reduced in over 800 instances and in

Japan Considering Affairs.

WASHINGTON, October 31-Late mail
advices at the japanese legation show
that the japanese are considering what
terms they shall make with China after
the fall of Pekin. 1t is suggested that
the Japanese army occupy the captured
districts; that the Chinese being the
worst governed people in the world, will
be the easiest to bring under a foreign
yoke. The Chinese under the mild
and civilized rule of Japan would - it is
said, ''soon learn that they would fare
better than under their old masters.
That would assuredly be the case in re,
spect to material prosperity, and an i'm
portant matter would in itself satisfy
them

Purchase Gets $4,000 Damages.

Philadelphia, October 29.-In the ac-
ton of Henry w Purchase against the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Rrllroad company, for injuries received
February y, 1898, the jury in the com
mon pleas court to day gave a sealed
verdict of $50, 900 for the plaintiff. The
case was one of number arising from
the collision between the Washington ex-
press and way train at South street
station. The plaintiff was a passenger
on the way train, which was compelled
to stop at the station, and which, while
standing across the main track, was run
into by the express. Purchase says that
he was so badly injured that he is physi-
cally wreck.

The farmers are great beneficiaries of
the new tariff, for nearly every article
they buy, such as cotton bagging, cot
ton ties, calico, plows, trace chains,
barbed wire, nails, axes, hoes, etc,
have been cheapened under the new law
1t will be strange indeed if the farmers
desert the Democratic party, which has
removed so many burdens from their
backs, and affiliate with the Republican
party, which still declares its purpose to
again OppreSs them if it regains power

the case of three Repulican representa-

Republican campaign literature to be

possible to detect infractions of the law
in this respect, as there is no authority
to open mail, and it is only when the
wrappers on matter burst that the fact
becomes known.
