The Legislature OF Pennsylvania
i, likely to be without a habitation
for business the coming session. The
Board appointed experts to consider
plans for Capitol presented by ar
chitects and to keep the price with
ia g specified amount. This was done,
specimens selected and reported to
the Board for decision as to Sc
lection. Right there the spoilers
got into camp and demanded new
advertisements and new examina-
tons. Governor Hastings objected
and gave good reason, but he was
outyoted and the schemers succeed
ed. Now the architects from Ian
caster and Philadelphia, who were
successful before the experts have
obtained an injunction preventing
new submission of plans and long
legal fight will by delay prevent the
erection within time for the meeting
of the solons.

their lives represented one shift"
They went on duty at o'clock, and
nobody knew CT their death until the
discovery of the lifeless bodies Not
a man in the party survived to tell the
story. In the case of each body the
head pointed toward the shaft, indi-
eating that they had CROPPED and strug-
gled toward the shaft for fresher air
while suffocation was overtaking them.
When the catastrophe was discovered
word was passed to the surface, and
the excitement was intense. Gangs of
men were lowered on the mine car
rage, and at $50 last evening all the
bodies excepting that of the fire boss

silver and Bryan clubs which were ac-
tive in the campaign Of last fall. Mr.
George once polled $4,000 votes as a
labor candidate for mayor of New
York. His strength, if he should &C.
cept, would be drawn principally from
the Democratic vote. The convention
nominated John G. Boyd for comp
troller and Winfield S. Overton for
president of the municipal council. A
belief is current that Mr.. George will
not accept the nomination If Tammany
Endorses the Chicago platform.

There is comfort in the knowl-
edge SO often expressed that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp. Root, the great
kidney remedy, fulflls every wish in
relieving pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of the
urinary passages. 1t corrects ina
bility to hold urine and scalding
pain in passing it, or bad effects fol.
lowing use of liquors, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant nec-
essity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medi-
cine you should have the best. Sold

Too Bad.

Mr.. John Zierath, the man who
was struck by passenger train on
'he B. & o. on Tuesday last, al &C.
count of which is given elsewhere,
had his arm which was broken,
dressed by a physician, and then
told that he could go. He sought
admission to the Aims House of the
county, but was informed that they
could not take him 10. 1t is too bad
to think Martinsburg has Hospit-
al, and that it would not shelter for
several days man with a broken
arm. The man should have been
given shelter somewhere, for he was
not in condition to be turned
adrift. The nights are cold and if
be should be compelled to sleep ont
doors he is liable to catch cold in his
wound and the result may prove
fatal. He had o genteel appearance,
and was 8 very respectable looking
man. Again We say it is too bad
that the Hospital of this city was
not open to receive him.

The railroads allege the illegality Of

also take the position that the gross

that the form OF the ballot subh,itted to

Trouble Caused by an 81"
Editor Clugston of the Spiketown
Blizzard looked out of the front window
of his Office, hurriedly grabbed his hat
and darted out through the back door,
says the Chicago Journal.
The last issue of The Blizzard had
contained a personal item to this effect:
"Our young friend, George Corbin-
son of Thatchersville, was in town
again last Sunday. Rumor has it that
he will soon lead to the altar a beauti-
full belle Of Spiketown. George is one
of the sold young men of our neighbor-
ing city"
Editor Clugston had written it "solid
young men," but he knew it would be
of no use to try to explain the mistake
to the large, athletic young woman
| who was approaching the office.
And SO when Miss Euphorbia Lick
ladder, the acknowledged belle OF
| Spiketown, walked in at the front door
a few moments later and inquired in a
deep, tragic voice for the editor, Mr..
Clugston was emerging from a back
alley IA blocks away and making fol
the open country.
