Mcleod, by the way, is in New York
city. He has been seen rourd the

known he has had repeated conferences
with he Jersey Central people. This
may or may not be significant, but L

Taking an ali.rCund view Of railroad
earnings FOR October, the exhibit made
is a good ore. II ia so good that n mile
age tcGt shows the average at sos per
mile. or Only So per mile behind the
fi~uros for October, 1882, when many
roads broke their best records and when
favorable results were the rule to which
the exceptions were few. The Increase
PER mile over October of logt year is $33,
and over the preceding Eionth this year.
September, $50. The aggregate increase
amounts to $3,52t,7!2, or G.59 per cent,
which brings the gain FOR the ten
months VI TO $50, 1895.

RAILROAD VOTES

The following notice has beer posted
In the Offices of the Lehigh Valley rail-
read at CaStOn and was received with
much satisfaction by the employees: AT
a regular meeting of the board OF direc-
tors of the Lehigh Naliey railroad com
pany. held in Philadelphia, November
II, 1895, q resolution was passed proyid-
ing that such portion as may be ncces-
sary of the revenue derived from the
sale OF employees tickets at one-half
cent per mile, he set apart and COnsti-
tute a pension fund for the support OF
old employees of the company, under the
rules as to Investment and appropria-
ton to BE prescribed by the executive
committee This means that the COM
pany will take care of its old and faith
full employees IN all departments. as far
as 1t is able 10 under the amounts re-
ceived from the sale Of employee tick
cts. There are a few old employees now
on he pension roll, but this order opens
the way for many others.
Speaking of the agreement signed In
New York by the officers Of the Joint
Traffic association, Senator Chandler
yesterday said: II have not exam
ined the contract in detail. Apparent
ly the railroad managers have been
trying during six months to modify the
49, ~ 80 ~ thph't y
to violate the law. Yet it how stands
as a trust agreement in restraint of
trade and commerce, the making OF the
rates for every Dad being committed
to the board representing all the roads,
SO that no road ray lower any of it's
rates to the public without violating
the agreement. The provision for fin
ing each road which may break the
agreement and using the fine for the
benefit of the other roads Is an illegal
division of earnings. The president,
the attorney general and Chairman
Morrison can easily defeat the agree
ment by procuring the indictment of
ell the signcrs under both the anti
trust and anti-pooling statutes. The
recital in the agreement that the man.
ayers do not intend to violate the in
terstate law is the meanest
subterfuge ever attempted to be i'm
posed upon an Intelligent community.
The law now explicitly forbids nool-
ing agreements and trusts like this.
The whole object of the railroad presi-
dents Is TO mako n trust and q pool
ing agreement and 1t is barefaced eff
frontery to insert this pretense OF q
desire 10 oisc".o the law. Il the gi-
gantic trust cav deliberately and de-
family tram.lc uDon national law no
trG2t can be suppressed in America"

Another Illunlinant.

A chenp mode of producing Acetyl-

cred by T. L. Wilson of New York.
1t is said to be the most powerful as
we'll as the cheapest illuminant known
to science. By virtue of the new dis
covery, light equal to the ordinary
gas light will be worth about so cents
pr 1000 ft. and the light is pure white.
1t can be attached to and used through
the ordinary gas pipes in any house.
1t has been found that the gas can
be changed into liquid by pressure
and confined in cans such as are used
for liquefying carbonic acid gas and
with little trouble. A company has
been formed to do this and within two
weeks it is hoped that the factory in
Brooklyn will be ready to take orders
for the liquid.
The cans in which it will be placed
can be attached to the service pipe Of
a house and by means of governor
the pressure can be so regulated as to
allow the liquid to become a gas and

Antiquated Disclosures.

We have just received marked
copy of the Vinton County Record,
in which under the heading "The
Hooking and Vinton County Bandits"
the circumstances surrounding the
John Krinn murder is detailed, and
also the fact that the Eureka Detec-
tive agency Of Charleston w. Va.
figured in the case to the extent of
$4,000 worth which sum was paid by
the commissioners of this county to the
agency as expenses.
The point in the long article, if any
is made, is, that one Sol. Shippley
an Amateur Detective knows all but
one of the parties concerned in the
commission Of the crime and could
have arrested them at the time but
was pnrsuaded by Burnett, the leader
of the detectives. not to make the ar
rest because Burnett claimed three
other and different parties were the
guilty ones.
The article further states that
Shippley spent about $4,000 Of his
own in the investigation and only re-
ceiyed about $50. 90 of the $4,000
paid by the commissioners and thinks
the commissioners onght to pay him
more.
The article sounds we'll but is a
little mouldy.
1t seems strange that Shippley
should have had so much valuable In
formation at the time and yet keep his
mouth closed tight as clam.
1t is certainly apparent that no ar
rests were ever made except the ones
made by local Officers, and SO no re-
ward was earned by the Eureka men
or any one else.
The fact that Shippley did not ar,
rest the parties he now says he can

WE HAVE BEEN INSULTED.
And by a Blasted Spaniard at
That, and Now We Want
War.

We have the news from New York,
that one of the Columbian line steam
ers, the Alliancia, commanded by
Capt. Crossman, had recently been
fired on, when passing the island of
Cuba, by a Spanish war vessel. The
following is Captain Crossman's story.
'March 8, at about 7:30 o'clock in
the morning, when the. steamer was
off the east end of the island of Cuba,
a brigantine rugged man-of-war, flying
the Spanish flag, was passed, steering
in the same direction, at a distance of
about mile and half.
The Alliancia dipped her colors in
salute and the courtesy was acknowl-
edged and reciprocated by the Span
lard.
A few minutes later puff of smoke
appeared from the man-of-war's bow
and a report followed.
This was followed few minutes
later by another blank cartridge. Capt
Crossman did not pay any attention
to the shooting, but continued on his
course northward. gG't
The man of war then altered its
course to follow the AHiancia and al
most at once another gunJwas fired
and solid shot came boundinggto-
ward the American steamer, missing.
her narrowly. ..
Two other balls was fired, but both
went wide.
The Spaniard fast dropped astern
and after a chase of about % miles
altered her course and headed back.
Capt. Crossman can advance no
theory to account for the outrageous
conduct of the Spaniard.
He declared his intention of bring
ing the matter to the attention of Sec
Gresham at once"
If the foregoing is correct we want
to give the greasy Spaniards COM
plete drubbing to teach them to be-
have themselves and then take Cuba
to sooth our wounded pride. I'm for
taking Cuba if every relative my wife.
has, is sacrificed in the attempt.

prove guilty, and for the reason that
Chief Burnett told him not to. is proof
of the fact that he was working under
the Eureka people, and If he did not
get his pay from them it is his misfor
tune as the commissioners paid all
they ever agreed to pay in the case
unless arrest and conviction inter-
vened. =.
There are those in the community
who believe that the detectives dis
covered nothing of Importance more
than was in the knowledge of the To-
cal officers and the general public.
1t is at least certain that they were
unable to bring proof of guilt against
any one of the accused parties.

Spring Elections.

1t must not be forgotten by all vo-
ters that the date of the spring
election is Monday, April lst, and
that it is the duty OF every citizen to
turn out on that date and vote.
1t is also the duty of the members
of the respective parties to turn out
and put the best men in nomination,
probably greater duty of late years
than the ection.
The law specifies that the certif-
Gates of nomination must be filed with
the deputy supervisors of elections, at
least fifteen days before an election,
which would not be later than March
10th.
Therefore, in order to hive plenty
time the nominations should be held
previous to the 10Th of March, and as
1t has always been customary to hold
such caucus on Saturday the time
should have been March , or 8.
The nominations must be sworn to
by the secretary AMI chairman of the
convention and then forwarded to the
clerk of deputy supervisors, at
Logan. 1t is best to have this done
at the close of the meeting 50 the mat
ter will not be neglected.
If no caucus is held the nominations
may be made by petition, which must
be sworn to and sent to the same Off
cial that receives nomination papers
1t is the duty of the central CON-
mitteemen of each township, ward or
precinct to see that these caucuses
are held.

THE BURIAL OF CONGRESS.

"Alike" the Gazette cotemporary,

to be funny.
1t revives painful recollection. 1t
says-
ave did see something Of this iing-
ling nature in the Hooking Sentinel,
ia dollar year pay when you please
some years ago, but since the retire
ment of their poetic genius, nothing
so bright or sparkling has appeared in
their columns"
The poetic period alluded to was
just after discharging our ConanDoyle
for his feeble articles on DR.. Jackal
ard other characters of the hermorpro-
dite type, and we had in the service
the Mckay, Dollison, Allen, Daven-
port cOMninatlOE.
They were assigned to the poetic
department on the coon dog theory,
but their drive! run so OH spoons, and
such other baby suggestions that we
were compelled to dismiss them and
let them work off their genius, poetic
and otherwise, in papers of their own.
1t is sad to admit that we employed
poetic genius alluded to, but we are
proud to stand by the further truthful
statement of our cotemporary. "Noth-
ing since so sparkling has appeared in
our columns
