Bridge Inspectors Report.

We, the undersigned inspectors Of
the river bridge at Bloom Ferry, do
report "That, having all been pres
ent at the view of said bridge and
having all been first duly severally
sworn, we have reviewed, inspected
and carefully examined the same, and
are Of the opinion that it is completed
in workmanlike and substantial
manner, complying fully with the con-
tracts entered into with the Commits
sioners of said county for that pur-
pose.
" We also are Of the opinion that
the quality of the work obtained is
largely due to the watchfulness the
present board Of Commissioners have
had over the work, and that the many
valuable suggestions offered by Mr..
John A. Wilson, civil engineer of
Philadelphia, in his report to the
Commissioners, was well prohted by.
In the masonry Of the south abutment
the question may be raised as to
whether the specifications have been
lived up TO, but from information OBJ.
tanned from Mr.. James Brown, en-
gineer in charge Of the work, we are
not in position to say that an infer
ior class of work has been obtained"

Death at a Funeral.

Recorder Thomas Green, of Phila-
delphia, was buried on the a4th in
slant. His boyhood friend and COM
panion, Daniel Schoheld, though sick
himself, was SO anxious to show this
last mark of respect that he under
took to attend the funeral Having
reached Philadelphia, he took a hack,
giving the driver orders where to take
him. Upon reaching the point deslg-
mated the driver was astounded to
find his passenger sitting upright as if
asleep, but in fact dead. A brother
in the city looked after his remains
and burial. 1t was remarked as a
peculiar coincidence that these two
friends should have their lives COM
menced and terminated so near to-
gether.

SHE LOVED DIAMONDS.

Daisy Majors, the sixteen.years old
postmistress at Wampum, Pa, has
embezzled about ST., 500 in the four
teen months she has filled the Office.
Daisy is the daughter OF Frank Ma.
jors, of the general merchandise firm
Of Brady & Majors, in whose store the
postoffice is located. Her downfall is
due to love of fine dresses and Jewell
ry.
She is petite brunette, the belle
of the village, and has always been
envied by the other girls on account
Of her captivating way.
The envy was Increased some
months ago when Daisy blossomed
out in new and costly gowns that were
not bought in the home dry goods
stores, but were purchased at New
Castle or elsewhere. Later she added
diamond jewelry to her adornments
and then the tongue of scandal wag-
ged faster than ever. The talk finally
reached the ears of the girls parents,
and they began quiet investigation
of the post Office accounts, which
soon revealed her girl-like, poorly con-
cealed peculations. A post office in
spector was sent for and he yesterday
concluded his examination, which
showed that the girl had embezzled
about $1,000.
Daisy seems dazed at the discovery
of her crime, but is not grief stricken,
and her friends are advancing the
kleptomaniac theory. In support of
this is urged the fact that she bought
as much as $aso worth of dry goods
at time in New Castle and sent to
the same city for jeweler to call on
her with samples of diamonds, with
out any attempt at secrecy from her
friends. They were well aware that
her salary warranted no such extrava~
gance. Daisy's father will make good
the loss. Ed.

DEMOCRACY ON THE ALERT.

On Tuesday evening, Sept. a5th, a
Democratic meeting was held in the
Court House at Sunbury. 1t was ad-
dressed by Hon. c. r. Buckalew and
Lewis Dewart, Esq. We understand
the remarks of the former gentlemen,
which will be published in full in the
Northumberland County Democrat of
this week, were mainly devoted to an
explanation OF the provisions and gen.
eral character Of the new tariff and
revenue act passed by the present
Congress, in comparison and contrast
with the provisions of the Mckinley
law Of 1890.
Last week Mr.. Buckalew held meet.
ings in northern Northumberland as
follows: On Wednesday evening at
Watsontown, on Thursday evening at
Dewart, and on Friday evening at
Turbotville. On Monday evening,
Sept, a4th, Democratic meeting at
Berwick was also addressed by him
and by Thomas B. Hanley, esq.
1t will thus be seen that our candi-
date for Congress is performing his
duty of campaign work, and will
doubtless continue to do so until the
election. 1t will become the Demo-
Gratis of this county to support him,
and their other candidates with zeal
and diligence, in order to secure full
and fair vote and proper measure of
success at the election. Our advice
to every Democrat is, 60 to work.
Don't wait for someone else to go
forward and perform the duty of the
hour. Do this for yourself and for
the cause, and right results will follow.

Radically Right.

As useful man as has struck the
weak spots of New York city for
many year is the radically right DR..
Parkhurst. Right next to "holy
water" the radically wrong of New
York hate him. But he goes for wrong
doers rough shod all the same ; and,
considering that he places his very
life in jeopardy, the man should have
an enduring monument after his death.
1t should be reared to his memory by
the righteously disposed and made of
some everlasting material, because of
his peculiarly and eccentricity in
being radically right exposer of
radical wrong doers without regard to
politics or religion. There is not a
city in America but what needs some
such martyr to the cause of righteous
ness and common decency as the
celebrated DR.. Parkhurst of New
York.

Wars and Rumors Of War.

There is trouble brewing among
foreign governments to day, over in
ternatlonal affairs involving certain
rights and privileges, which if not soor.
amicably adjusted may involve half
dozen foreign nations in the bloodiest
kind of war against each other. The
fight will start between France and
England, but where it will end God
only knows if hostilities once COM
mence. The seat Of the present diff
ference petween France and England
is Madagascar, and the subjects of
the Hova government are said to be
melted by Great Britain to resist the
demands of France.

Between war, and the black plague
and actual starvation, surely the
Corean portion of the Chinese army
is in a deplorable condition. Report
has it. whether false or true, that
some Of the Chinese troops are dying
Of hunger. Many others opposed to
the horrors of war, and agreeing with
Ingersoll that "suicide is no sin," are
taking their own lives. AS a speedy
means of depicting the ranks of the
enemy the Japs should endeavor to
supplant Confucius with Ingersoll's
theology in China. If Ingersoll were
not so particular about his own life
he might be engaged as a Japanese
missionary to China, and thus by
inducing all heathendom to suicide
he might live to some good purpose
after all. We so frequently see evil
overruled for good that we shall not
be surprised to see it yet in the eccen-
trio case of the "royal Robert

The river is full Of devices for

vast amount of fishing with nets con-
stantly going on. Somebody whose
business it is to look after these things
is evidently not very active in the dis

the fault of the State that this condi-
tion of affairs exists, for it does not
provide sufficient compensation for
the proper officials whose duty it is to
stop Illegal fishing.

The Locust Gap colliery was the scene
of an explosion of powder on Monday
afternoon, by which two men were
killed and one seriously injured. Those
killed were John Franks, aged 40 years,
of Locust Gap, and Joho Paul, aged 50
years, of Locust Gap. Henry Ermal,
aged % years, was very seriously injured
about the head and body. The men
were engaged in tamping charge when
it suddenly exploded, throwing Franks
distance of twenty feet, and dashing
him up against the side of the gangway,
killing him instantly. Paul was struck
by flying debris and so badly injured
that he died that evening. Ermal was
standing some distance away when the
explosion occurred, and thus escaped
the fate of his comrades.
By an explosion of gas at the East
Bear Ridge mine, at Mahanoy Plane,
the same afternoon, John Hartenstein,
of Ashland, was killed. The following
were injured: Michael Ryan, aged 2S,
burned and bruised, cannot recover;
Robert Dalton, aged 50, of Mahanoy
Plane, burned about face and body, re-
covery doubtful; William Mining, aged
30, buried and badly injured about the
body. The explosion was caused by the
bursting of mining lamp in the hands
of Dalton. Immediately after it occur
red the gas which had accumulated in
the breast was ignited and terrible ex-
plosion followed.
