Gold in the Ocean.

That gold should exist in the ocean is
an induction that DIR. Henry Wurtz
claims to have presented in 1866, and in
1872 the discovery was announced by E
Sonstadt. \ careful computation with
the best data obtainable. ON the basis
of 90 grain of gold per ton of sea
water, about the proportion assigned
by Sonstadt, shows that the great ocean
should contain gold to the amount of
over SSO, 900, 600. .OOO. 600. 600. The getting
of some of this by electrolysis, DIR. Wurtz
now predicts, will be one of the prob
lens of the future

IT is significant of the active and
prosperous condition of the iron indus
try that the annual adjustment of the
wage scale in Western Pennsylvania and
in Ohio has not yet been accompanied
by the usual controversy between em,
ployers and employees. A satisfactory
agreement was reached last week in
Youngstown, o., and on Monday of this
week the same basis of wages was adopted
in Pittsburg by a conference committee
of the Ama,gamated Association and the
iron manufacturers. Under the sliding
scale of wages the advance in the prices
of iron and steel has given the men a
substantial increase in their pay; and
with prospects of year of steady en-
ployment there is nothing to break the
harmonious relations which exist be-
tween the manufacturers and their en-
ployes 1t is rarely that Pittsburg mills
are so busy with urgent orders that they
skip the usual midsummers shut down
for repairs

Nine Men BADLY Injured.

Buffalo, y y, July S.-Nine men
were badly injured 10y the deraillng OF
trolley car at North Buffalo this morn
ing.
4 gang of seventy-fve Italians and
Poles boarded the car to go to Iowanda,
where they were engaged in grading the
new electric road between this city and
Niagara Falls. Just after the car left
the station the motOrman noticed that
something was wrong with the brakes.
The car was then on steep grade and
its speed increased until 1t reached a
f-ightful velocity. The car went bound
ing over the rails and the passengers
grew terribly excited and it was with
difficulty that they were restrained from
jumping off.
For three quarters OF mile the car
went rushing along, until II struck a
curve and jumped the track, tum5lng
over and over into the ditch and being
reduced 10 kingling wood. Two of the
passengers who escaped injury went to
the assistance of those beneath the car
and soon had them removed. Nine
were found to be quite badly injured,
but only two-Nictor Marcel, a Pole, and
PasquelO Sualle, an ltalian-were serl'
ously hurt.

IL recalling his veto of the normal
school appropriation bill the governor,
says the Harrisburg Patriot. has sought
to establish a precedent that is not only
unlawful but dangerous. 1t appears
that on Saturday the governor filed with
the secretary of state his veto Of this bill
and public proclamation of the veto was
made in the rotunda of the capitol.
Yesterday he ignored his veto and gave
the bill his approval.
A bill properly passed by the legisla-
ture and duly signed by the proper Off
Gers of the house becomes a law after
the Legislature has adjourned with or
without the governors signature unless
he shall file the same, with his objec-
tions, in the office of the secretary of the
| commonwealth and give notice thereof,
by public proclamation, within thirty
| days after such adjournment. In this
| instance the governor prevented the bill
from becoming law by filing 1t with
! his objections in the office of the secre-
/ tary of state and caused his disapproval
to be publicly proclaimed. This was
done on Saturday. Yesterday the bill
was signed.
Where might not this lead ? If the
the governor can recall a bill one day
after vetoing it he can recall it ten days
after. If he can recall an appropriation
bill he can recall any other kind. In
the hands of a corrupt executive such
| power as this could be most dangerously
and most basely used and abused.
We do not question the wisdom of the
arrangement made by the governor
whereby the appropriations were saved
to the schools. We do not regret that
he was able to see a way clear to aid
these useful institutions. But we dc
regret that the second thought of the
| governor was not his first. The prece
dent is too dangerous to excuse even itE
| good intentions.

THE Philadelphia Ledger says: "If
the warning Republican factions in this
state continue to pursue their chickering's
they may jeopardize theirIstate ticket,
Notwithstanding the enormous party
majority obtained last November. The
Democrats have a fashion of getting to-
gether when there is a chance for victo>
~, and the scandals growing out of the
distribution of patronage for the pur-
poses of primary elections, the great in
crease in the number and salary of state
officials, the disgust with the brazen
recklessness of the legislature and with
the spectacle of disreputable city coun-
cIls, are not conductive to the polling of
the full Republican vote. Besides pub
lie opinion is not averse to welding a
lively club at the heads of spoilsmen in
an off year such as this"

An Unfortunate Minister.

South Bethlehem, July "A curious
accident has brought Rev. 5. H Phillips,
of Durham, Bucks county, to what may
prove to be his death bead. A girl iab-
bed him with a pin, and blood poisoning
developed. Yesterday his left leg was
anIputated in the hospital here. When
visiting neighbor's house about six
weeks ago, he remained for dinner
He was seated upon the porch, chatting
with several young ladies, when the call
for dinner came.
He was slow in responding and one OF
the ladies took a stick pin from her
throat and intended to prick him in the
leg slightly. As she struck at him, he
raised his leg and the pin was jabbed
into the flesh to the bone. For two
weeks Rev. Philips has been dangerously
i'll with blood poison, and his leg was
amputated in the hope of saving his life,
but the surgeons think he will hardly
recover. He is 29 years old.

Wild Men of Maine.

Augusta, July 5.-Four curious speci,
mems of humanity have been confined
in NorridgewOok Jail, accused OF sheep
stealing. They were arrested in Brlgh-
ton.
They belong to a gang of about 40
persons who have no homes, but who
have lived until recently near the Cana
dian line, like wild beasts in the summer
and in caves during the winter. They
wear little or no clothing, and their
backs, which have long been exposed to
the sun and weather are covered with
growth of hair fully three inches long.
Ii Is nard to make sense out of their
conversation, although they have learned
to swear so they are understood. One
of the men, giant in form, is an idiot.
His sides are full of small holes made
by brad in the end of a stick, when he
has been yOked to an OK.
The day they were placed in Jail they
had fight among themselves and tore
all the clothing off each others bodies
Police are after others of the tribe of
wild men.

part of sleeps leg for diseased bone
in the leg of 15>pear-old Boyd Folwell.
The physicians say to day that their
patient is doing well, although it Is too
early to determine whether the operation
will prove a success.
The entire operation was carried un
under the strictest antiseptic treatment
and as soon as the sheep had served its
purpose its throat was cut.
Only a few operations have been suc>

of employing pounded animal bone, de-

IN the downward tendencies Of Re
publican politics in Pennsylvania it Is
something new to witness the struggle
of a governor for the craftsmanship of
state convention of his party. Among
the decent political traditions in this
commonwealth it has been held that the
governors exalted office placed him
above partisan turmoil and strife. Once
induced into office he has been regarded
as the head, not of party, but of the
state. But Governor Hastings comes
down from his high place and makes
himself chieftain Of a faction of a
party His announcement that he seeks
a distinction which should be conferred
upon him spontaneously or should not
be accepted at ali, is a signal for con-

threatens to be of unexampled violence
