CANNON USED by HAZERs.
A Charge of Tomato Cans, Stones and
Other Missiles.

Bellefonte Pa Correspondence New York Sun.
Two students have been expelled from the
State College and fourteen suspended In
definitely for hazing. Most of them may
get into the criminal courts before the affair
Is ended. AS is usual at the opening of each
college year, the higher men undertook TO
initiate the freshmen (and there were
great many of them this year, in the usual
way by giving each one hazing. For sew
eral weeks all went along without jar, the
old students were having their fun at the
expense of the new men, and, although the
college authorities attempted to suppress 1t,
they were never able to find out who the
participants were.
Among the freshmen were two brothers
who had taken room and board in the family
of Daniel Shivery, in the village near the
college. Try as they might. the students
were unable to catch these two. One night
recently large crowd of the higher class
men got together and surrounded the house
of Mr.. Shivery. They demanded the sur
render into their hands of the two young
men. The demand was refused, whereupon
the crowd opened fire with one of the col
lege cannons they had surreptitiously taken
with them, and which had been loaded for
the occasion with stones, old tomato cans
and other kinds of missiles. Windows were
broken, furniture inside the house was badly
demolished and the outside of the house was
so defaced and besmirched that it was al
most impossible to tell its original color.
Two shots were fired, by which time all the
inmates of the house were pretty badly
frightened. except Mr.. Shivery and one of
the students. Each of them hastily seized
q double-barreled shotgun and sailed into
the crowd demanding their immediate with
drawal under threats of being fired into if
they refused. Acting with discretion. the
crowd began to withdraw. attempting to
take with them the cannon, but the owner
of the property ordered them to leave that
q n
non Mr.. Shivery held as a ransom until his
loss and damage may be made good.

HE WAS SEASICK.
Wealth Cast Upon the Water and
Recovered In Strange Way.

Recovered in a Strange Way.
London Correspondence New York Sun.
1t would be hard to match, in the record
of queer stories, one told to me recently by
an officer in the London and Westminster
Bank, who vouches for it's truth. 1t relates
to a mishap to a wealthy American whose
name 1 am not permitted to use. He came
from Paris to London ten days ago and lost
en- route his purse containing several hun
Dire dollars and four letters of credit worth
rearly $4,000. He carried the purse in the
side pocket Of his coat and had no idea
whether it had been stolen or how it had
been lost. He reported the matter to the
bank and all the agencies in Europe were
notified by telegraph to stop payment, and
liberal reward for the property was offered.
A recent mail brought to the bank a packet
from a lawyer in little fishing town in Bel
GUM. Within was the purse water soaked,
but with contents intact. The lawyer wrote
that the purse was picked up several days
ago by the crew of Belgian trawler, float
Ing on the waves in the middle of the Eng
lish channel. Its owner now recollects that
he was very seasick while crossing the chan
rel, and that instead of going below he in
dulged in the malady on deck and OCCASION
ally leaned far over the rail, in order to try
to see the land beneath the waves and for
other reasons No other explanation of the
disappearance of the purse was necessary

CURE OF THE CAPPADocH1ANs.

Settlement of the Question as to How
Foreigners Would Fight for the Union
Max Ihmsen, the well-known newspaper
man, who was a correspondent here for
several years, and is now the press repre-
sentative Of Comedian Thomas @. Sea-
brooke. told a new and funny story on
Newspaper Row this morning, in which H.
s. Garfield of this city and John Harring-
ton, the New York reporter who wrote the
rich parodies on Robert Louis Stevenson's
and Rudyard Kipling's works. were the
figures.
''Canfield. Harrington, myself and others
were at the Warwick Hotel one evening""
said Max, discussing things in general,
when Garfield leaned back and, looking at
Harrington. who Is a tall, slender, pale
looking individual, with no apparent humor
In him, and yet with wonderful aptness
for saying bright things in the most seri-
GUS manner. caid: I tell you that the mon
grel state OF our present population is
something that should receive the intense
and earnest consideration of every citizen
in the nation. We're a mixture today of
every people under the sun. Hordes have
come from England and ireland and
Sweden and Norway. and we have the
Germans and the French and the Spaniards
and the Russians and the Italians and the
Alsatians and the Turks and the Armenians
and-er-the Cappadochians and a whole
lot of others. Now continued Garfield
among all these various nationalities would
be most earnest and valiant in the defense
Of the Union? Would it be the French the
Italians, the English or the Irish, or would
the Swedes or the Norwegians or the Rus
slams or the Alsatians. the Turks or the
Armenians or-er-the Cappadochians come
to the front with the most vigor and BRAY
cry and unquestioning patriotism?
"As Garfield ceased, Harrington quietly
replied: Well, I reckon the Cappadochians
would put up the best fight
Il thought the crowd would die" said
Ihmsen in conclusion.

Senator Sherman Tells How He First

From John Sherman's Recollections
When 1 entered Congress. my pay as a
member was IS a day during the session.
and 1t was said we had roast beef" but
we paid for it if We had it. At the close
or the Thirty-fourth Congress the compen-
sation was increased to 5000 year.
During the latter part of the war and af
terwar1 prices of food. board and lodging
were considerably advanced.
In 1854 l offered the proprietor of Will
lards Hotel my monthly pay of $3.50 for
board and lodgings, in very modest QUAR-
tiers, for my wife and myself, but he de-
manded $500 month. This led me to pur-
chase house in which to live. a change
which have never regretted. 1t was quite
the fashion then for the old families who
were in full sympathy with the confeler-
ates. to underrate property (even their
OWN in Washington, on the ground tina
when the confederacy was acknowledged
the capital would be removed. and real es-
tate could, therefore, be obtained upon very
reasonable terms.

ADVISED TO VOTE FUSION.
Rev. DR.. Parkhurst Tells How t
Down Tammany.

Rev. DR.. Parkhurst Tells How to
Down Tammany.
In the course of an address to the voters of
New York as to the best way of securing
and retaining reform in the municipal gov
eminent. Rev. DR.. Parkhurst says:
1T Of course. goes without saying that
the fusion ticket is the only ticket by which
Tammany can be defeated. / am not going
to say an unkind word in regard to my
friends of the Good Government Clubs. 1
can appreciate their devotion to conviction
even while except to the reasonableness of
their conviction. For their own sakes. 1
trust that the distinct ballot polled by them
as Good Government Clubs will be small,
for the smaller it is the more evident it will
be that with the majority rational consid-
easily will the clubs recover the position Of
municipal influence that has been theirs
hitherto, and that, in view Of the unim-
peachable character of the bulk of their con-
stituency, is certainly their due.
Upon the major part of the fusion ticket
We can certainly nationally and conscien-
tiousfy combine; there are several names
there which probably no one who hates
are four such names to which even the Good
Government Clubs are committed; De rson-
ally, l should like to see more than those
four elected, and shall myself vote accord
ingly, but upon those four, anyhow, we can
all concentrate, and If we do concentrate up
on them for all we are worth we shall elect
them, and if We do elect them, especially if
we elect them by handsome majority, their
election will mean the triumph of reform
and the overthrow of Tammany. 1t will
mean that reform has come to stay and will
cut the Interrogation points out of the
wavering hearts of those who still question
whether official preferment in our city is
more readily to be obtained by dollars or by
duty.
Has the hard work that has been done to
be undone? Has it got to be done over
again? Is the city prepared to settle back
into the old slough of degradation? Do the
decent people In this town really think that
1t pays to be decent? Hundreds of cities in
our country have been moved to better
things by the example of New York; suppos-
ing, now, New York is seen to waver, and, by
Its half heartedness, to repeal the effects of
Its decision and heroism of a year ago; COM
pute the disheartehment that will accrue to
the hundreds of thousands of every political,
religious and natiehag stripe throughout the
Union. who have learned to believe in better
things, and to labor for better things, be-
cause they have seRnthis city achieve them.
This then. may l be permitted to say in
closing, Is at once The obligation and priv
ilege OF the hour. About great many de-
tails we may differ, but when we look our
immediate enemy I'M the face we are one,
ana II we continue one and stand as one on
the day OF election we shall double the vic
tory OF 1884, quadruple the ground of mutual
coneratulatfon and devout thanksgiving,
ana communicate a new impulse to all OF
our countrymen everywhere who are seek
ing to raise their city from dishonor and to
ltberate 1t from bondage"

PROPOSED SUSPENSION BRIDGE.
Greatest Engineering Undertaken in
the World.
S,;o

Greatest Engineering Undertaken in
the World. ,.....
From the Scientific American.
The Secretary of War recently appointed
hoard of officers of the corps of engineers
to Investigate and report their conclusions
as to the maximum length of span practi-
cable fer suspension bridges and consistent
with an amount of traffic probably sufficient
to warrant the expense of construction"
The Leading features of the design upon
which the estimates were made were as fol-
lows: A steel suspension bridge having a
clear span of 300 feet between the towers
and carrying six railroad tracks placed side
by side. The floor of the bridge is to be
provided with a stiffening truss, which
shall be hinged at the center and be 100
feet in depth. The bridge to be carried N
sixteen cables. arranged eight on each side;
each cable to consist of 5000 parallel steel
wires wrapped together and having a
breaking strength of 2S,440 tons; the diam
eter inclusive of wrappings, being 21k
inches. The estimated cost of the bridge is
So 1S6,54O.
From an engineering standpoint 1t Is not
the total length of a bridge that determines
its magnitude, but the length of the indi-
vidual spans. The cost and constructive
difficulties of bridge building increase at a
rapidly increasing ratio as the span is
heightened. The Tay bridge in Scotland is
twice the length of the Forth bridge to the
south Oh DuC the design ana ereCuOn OF
its two miles of short Orders did not call
for the exercise of one-fifth par. Of the
skill and courage required in throwing the
huge spans of the Forth bridge across the
mile of deep water at the Firth of Forth. In
a like increasing ratio will the difficulties
multiply in stretching this mammoth Struc-
trre across the Hudson river
The seven wonders of the world, that ap-
pealed so strongly to the ancients, will be
completely overshadowed on every point
of comparison by this GROWING feat of the
nineteenth century. If mere bulk or mass
will be bigger and heavier than the greatest
Of the works of the ancients; and in the
scientific knowledge involved in it's con-
struction it will embody truths in chem
istry, mathematics and mechanics that
would bewilder the Egyptian builders OF
the pyramids even more than it's vast
stretch Of steel cables and interlacing grid
erS.
The two masses of masonry that will
have to be built on shore to resist the
enormous pull of the sixteen cables will in
their united weight and bulk rival the
great pyramid of Gizeh. The four steel
towers that carry the cables will each, in
ali probability, overtop the lofty Washing
ton monument, and will be exceeded in
height only by one structure, the Eiffel
tower in Paris. Ethically, If we may so
speak, they will stand ioftier than the last
named, inasmuch as the Eiffel tower is
merely a spectacular freak" whereas the
four great towers of this bridge will reach
their full stature as part of a great me
chanical structure erected for useful me-
chanical purpose.

goods that was gathered. On the second
evening Of the fair a respectable citizen,
imbued with the spirit of doing good in the
church. paid the fee and grabbed. A crowd
collected about him, all anxious to Sc,
what he had drawn, and his surprise may
be easily imagined when he found he had
note with the following inscription:
Good for one grave. dug any time during
the ensuing year. John Spader." The vii
lage grave digger had put in his gift with
