Sea of Azof Frozen.

For the first time in the remembrance Of
the living generation the sea of Azof is
frozen over solid. The Don river and the
sea Of Azof froze very suddenly in a rather
unexpected way and as consequence a
number Of vessels were taken unawares
Eud stopped on their way. More than 10
steamers are helpless in the ice between
AzOf and Rdstov, and q large number of
vessels are dispersed in various parts of
this immense frozen sheet of water, first
tossed about by the violent storm and then
held fast in the glacial embrace. While
Che river Don has frequently frozen over
there is no record Of the sea of Azof hay
ing previously frozen solid in this century

DON'T Pun Down Your Sign.

Peter Cooper once said Of newspaper
In towns where newspaper is published
every business man should advertise in it, il
nothing mo1e than a card stating his name
ana the business he is engaged iu 1t does
not only pay the advertiser, but he lets the
people at distance know that the town in
which he resides is prosperous community
of business men. As the seed is sown so the
seed recompenses. Never pull down your
sign while you expect To do business"

Tours to California.

California has been most fittingly termed
the Italy of America" All the delicious
balm the cloudless sky, aud the rich YER
dure of the great European peninsula are
duplicated in this sunny land of the Pacific.
Here nature basks in the sunshine of her own
beauty; and here she has established her
own sanitarium, where eternal spring in
spires everlasting youth. With the snow
mantled peaks of the Sierras upon the one
hand, the calm Pacific with its soft breezes
upon the other, and veritable paradise Of
flowers fruits and plants between, man can
find and needs no lovelier land. To visit
such country is privilege, a blessing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
recognizing the need Of a more comfortable
and pleasant way of crossing the continent
inaugurated a series Of annual tours to Cali
fornia, running a through train of Pullman
palace cars from New York to the Pacific
Coast, and stopping at the principal p0ints of
interest en- route. The great popularity Of
these tours demonstrates the wisdom Of the
movement,
For the season of 1897 three tours have
been arranged to leave New York, Philadei-
phia and Pittsburg, January n, February
"a, and March 27.
The first tour will run direct to San Diego

Gras Carnival. This tour viii return via
Salt Lake City, Denver Omaha, and Chicago,
allowing four weeks in California.

and Salt Lake City, allowing passengers to re-
turn by regular trains via different routes
within nine months.
All of these tours, either going or return
ing, will pass through the famous Colorado
region, Glenwood Springs, Leadville and the

ANOTHER IuzERNE MURDER.
A shooting Follows Jollihoation at "a
Christening.

Christening.
HAztrrON, Feb 22.-Saturday was pay
day at Lattimer and Mluesville, aud from
present indications the criminal docket of
Luzome county will have added another
murder to its already long list before sun
down to-day. But little can be CLEANED
from the affair that is authentic This much
is known, however, that a christening took
place at the residence Of one steve Brocker,
who resides at Milnesville breaker The
festivities began early i'm the morning
and by noon the attendants became
hilarious, and fight of some kind
was inevitable. Things however, passed
Oft amicably until shortly after 3 o'clock
when Steve Broker started of with a two
gallon can TO have it roiled with beer. Some
of the attendants did not take kindly TO this
this part Of the program and they followed
him. They met him on the highway and at
once began to assail steve by throwing stones
at him. Naturally Steve raised objections
and at the same time informing his assaiants
that unless they desisted, he would retaliate
by shooting them They paid no attention to
the warning, however and a moment later
Steve opened fire. The frs bullet took effect
iu the left breast of Mike Ho5hock, the bullet
/ embedding itself deeply in his lung. He
/ dropped and it was at first supposed that
| he had been killed outright, but after the
smoke of the battle cleared away it was
found that he was still alive. An
examination revealed that the ball was
deeply embedded in his left lung and that it
was impossible to probe for it. AT 1880 O'Clock
/ he was reported to be in serious condition,
aud was hardly expected to live until morn
ling.
| Alber Palish, another guest at the cele-
F hration, was shot in the groin, the bullet just
/ grazing the main artery He was removed
TO his home, and will recover Besides these
two, three others received several painful
injuries

speaker Reed ana tho House Managers
Using All Their Power and Influence TO
Keep the Appropriations Down TO the
Lowest Level.
Washington, Feb. 22.-Conrress ad-
journs sine die a week from Thursday
and the rush and jostling which marks
the closing days of a session began to-
day. Washington's birthday is being
celebrated by hard work Members
with pet measures, the passage Of
which have more or less bearing on
their political fortunes, have begun
their clamor for recognition but they
win appeal in vain as long as appro-
priation bills and conference reports
are before the house for action as
these, by the rules, have the right Of
way. Besides the house managers are
anxious to put through with the least
possible delay the last two budgets SO
that the decks may be cleared for the
final struggle with the senate over the
latter's amendments to the money
bills Speaker Reed and the house
managers are using an their power
and influence TO keep down the appro-
priations to the lowest limit as they
already promise to exceed those of the
Fifty-drst congress and the increase
which the senate viii make will be
fought to the bitter end. The influence
of this purposc to keep down apuro-
priations to the minimum was appar-
ent on Saturday, when the naval COM
mittee. after agreeing to recommend
an appropriation for a new battleshiD
/ and a training ship for the Annapolis
cadets, upon consultation with the
/ leaders, reacinded the action and de-
ciGed TO reuort the bin without any
recommendation for an increase of the
new navy. The general deficiency biz.
which has been under consideration
for two days iu the house, will prob
ably be completed today. An effort
win be made to strike out the appro-
priation Of S131O,O0O for the Southern
Pacific, being the amount withheld by
the government pending a deterniina-
tion of the liability of that road to the
Union and Central roads 1t probably
win fail however The naval appro-
priati0n bill win follow. owing to the
/ controversy over the price to be paid
for armor plate and the numerous ac-
/ c.lents to vessels of the new navy this

Some interesting developments are ex-
pected shortly in Butler township. The poll
ticans are at daggers points and are airing
their grievances in the newspapers. NJ. J..
Sweeney is against the gang, and has laid
ba C some of the tricks that have made the
politics of the township of an unsavory
nature. The East Butler township election
board has been arrested for refusing to accept
the ballot of Daniel Hollorau on the ground
that he had not paid his taxes The latter
produced his receipt and subsequently, had
the board arrested. Rufus ID. Grifths has
charged U. A. Kleese, Butler township
school teacher, with bribery. Grifiiths
alleges that he heard the Democrats were
purchasing voters and that Kleese was
handling the money. He approached the
latter and asked what no was paying fer
votes for Thomas Nolan, Democratic cand =
date for School Director, when Kleese replied
50 90, and the bargain was then sealed 10y
Gliifths agreeing to vote for n Jan. Kleese
demanded one of his men to enter the booth
with Grifiiths, which was agreed to and
when the vote was fixed up aud the $50
handed over Grifiiths tore mp the ballot and
subsequently brought the suit for bribery.

glasses of wine and few mouthfuls OF
food he burst out afresh. Lafon was not

of creatures. He began to be annoyed. He
flung plate of strawberries at his would

call me his father, although | am ten

opened his lips once more. Lafon cut him
short by ordering the cabman TO drive to

picked up another second and when they
arrived at their destination not "a minute

productive of as little effect as the former.
