 It appears that William Stuart, young man. took supper at Edward Harrlngton's and was taken sick immediately after tea and died the next day. He was the accepted lover of Miss Eleanor Harrington. daughter of Edward liar rington. though the parents of the young lady objected to him. He ate heartily of old-fash- toned pound cake the night he took tea at liar rington. It is claimed that none of the liar rington's family partook of the cake. A post mortem examination convinced the doctors that Stuarts death was due to poison. and Ed ward Harrington, his son and his daughter were arrested and taken to Martiasyille for ex. animation

geo. Burger, Jr., noticed a queer
action Of his dog. lie walked
around in the yard with froth run
ming from his mouth and snapped
everything he came to. Mr.. Bur
ger got his gun and killed him at
once. People should be on their
guard, and if they notice such
symptoms in their dogs should kill
them at once before they Rave a
chance to bite anything, and so get

Is il the duty Of the State to pro-
tect only the wealthy in case Of con-
fiict between wealth and poverty!
Has a poor man no rights which the
rich are bound to respect? l. this
boosted Gland Of liberty" whose
people are about to celebrate its
llSth birthday, as the dawn Of lib
erty for the common people, really
only a despotism for the govern
ment Of the poor by the wealthy
class? And is it in accord with the
Declaration Of Independence that
the military should be used at the
order of the Gov. to suppress the
poor class, upon the mere request
Of Sheriff, before that Sheriff has
exerted the power the law gives him
to call upon all the people of hi:
bailiwick to serve as posse in pre-
serving the peace? Is the right OF
a corporation to property more
sacred than the right Of poor mar
to existence, and something to eat
for his wife and family?
The above are questions forcing
themselves upon the public mind by
the rash and illegal action Of Gov
Matthews in the use Of the STATE
militia during the present miners
strike. The railroad corporation
had no right-legal or moral-t'
ask the taxpayers Of the State t
burden themselves with heavy ex
pense to enable the railroads to aic
the wealthy mine owners, when the.
refused themselves to pay their hon
est proportion Of taxes. The mex
Legislature will be asked to appro
pirate large sum Of money to pa.
the expense Of Gov. Matthews sym
pathy with wealth, shown by hi
ordering the militia Of the Stat
to prevent the miners from
side tracking cars loaded wit
.scab" coal from Kentucky. an
each taxpayer in the State will b
compelled to pay his proportion ,
the tax to meet this unncce~sar
and unjust expense, whether h
uses pound Of coal or not. Their
l. no politics in this matter. but
j. little singular that the Governu
should seek for his legal advisers ]
this action lawyer Elliott. and
c.terie Of other Republican lawyer
rather than the Atty General Of I'll
STATE, or Democratic attorneys.
The miners made no more tina
Just demands, a. the Gov. acknow
edged, and the State, through il
Executive head, had no legal rigl
to compel these poor men to accel
unjust terms, or by military fort
deprive them Of the means OF earn
ing respectable livelihood.

TRIALS OF A TICKET MAN.

He Can Endure All but the Questions O4
 People Who Never Travel.
 A prominent Pittsburg passenger agent, in a conversation with a reporter of that city, gave few interesting facts relative to the everyday experience of the average city passenger man, which those not directly connected with the business know nothing about. He said:
 ''It is singular fact the number of people who visit our office daily and the curious questions they ask with regard to railroad rates, etc., when very often they have no notion whatever of leaving the city and as a matter of fact have not travelled any worth mentioning. For six years there has been very singular char acter who has made an annual visit to this office. l have no idea from whence he cometh or whither he goeth, but he always asks the selfsame questions and goes away apparently satisfied with the information he has received. always expect him in the springtime, generally about the 1st of April, when the suns rays grow warmer.
 "Then my quaint old friend comes to see me. 1 should judge him to be at least 80 years of age. He is stopped and feeble, with hair as white as snow, but we'll dressed, wears 8 silk hat and carries cane and talks in a nervods, jerky manner. He invariably opens up with, Whats the rate to BostonY tell him, and his eyes light up as he waddles out with always the same observation. Well, by gum, that's cheap! cheapf If the old man would tell his story, it might have a tinge of pity in it. Perhaps he has a son or daughter in the Hub City whom it has been his cherished hope to see for all these years.
 "The biggest out and out nuisance we have to deal with are persons who come here with no other intention than to col lect all the railroad literature they can. They have no notion of going away, but thay grab everything in sight in the way of time tables and other information bearing on tourists points in the north, east, south and west. They greedily gather pamphlets, circulars and book lets treating on climate and resources. don't know what these collectors do with the stuff they get here, but some of them must have prize assortment.
 "Then the man who travels from one end of the country to the other is the person who invariably pushes into the office and in brusk manner asks for a time table of the line he is about to take. It is given him, of course, and without so much as glancing at the schedule it is stuffed into his pocket, and his next question is, When does my first train leave? It never seenis to oc- cur to him to look on the time table. So 1t goes. Sometimes people ask me ques- tions until I'm afraid the buttons will drop off my coat, but after all we man. age to get along with our patrons re- markedly we'll. ."-Pittsburg Post.
