Early Passage of the Tariff Bill in the
Senate Predicfad

That this will probably be the last week
OF the tariff debate in the senate is the
general opinion of senators. Some think
that the bill will be passed on Saturday
but at the furthest on Monday. This
early disposal of the bill will be far from
satisfactory to some of the democratic
senators, but fear of the wrath of their
constituents has prevented them from
resorting to anything like filibustering
tactics to delay it further.
1t is impossible, at this time, 10 say how
long the tariff bill will remain in confer
enee, but Chairman DINGHY, who is
thoroughly posted on the sentiment of
both senators and representatives, and
who will be at the head of the house con-
ferees, expresses the opinion that an
agreement will be speedily reached on
the bill.

LAST year Bre'r koOser's commiss-
ion 10 the County Convention was that
he had carried the county for Congress.
This yesr he was fortified with proxy
from our old friend Joseph Hankin-
son, dated June 18th, and authorizing
Mr. kooser TO represent him in Con-
vention to be held on March 18th. As
a legal proposition we enter for doubts
whether Bre'r Kooser was enti'led to
take part as a Committeeman in Lis

There was an unusual scene in Justice
Bauer's Court at Brookville, Pa. a day
or two ago. There was an assault and
battery case being heard. in which Mrs.
Emma McAianigle was the prosecutrix,
and one of her neighbors the defendant.
When the ease was called Mrs. McMgn-
igle fell upon her knees before Justice
Bauer's desk, and began to pray that b. r
side would win and that the witnesses on
the other side be given strength To tell
the truth. After hearing the evidence
the Justice dismissed the case, dividing
the costs between each.

The Pennsylvania Railroads Popular Ex-
curiions to the Sershore.


No other summer outing appeals so
strongly to the people of western Penn
sylvania rs the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company's popular excursions To the
seacoast of New Jersey. For years they
have been looked forward to as the holi-
day event of each summer. The secret
OF their great popularity is the phenome-
nally low rate and the high character of
the service. The limit of twelve days
just fits the time set apart for the average
vacation, and the dates of the excursion
are most conveniently adjusted. There
is also the widest field for choice in the
selection of resort. Atlantic City, Cape
May, Sea Isle City, and Ocean City are
the choicest of the Atlantic coast resorts.
and any one of them may be visited un-
der these arrangements. The list this
year includes also Rehoboth, Del, and
Ocean City, Md.
The dates of the excursions are July Is.
and ~. and August II and 2I. A special
train of Pullman parlor ears and day
coaches will leave Pittsburg on above
mentioned dates st SO 4. M, arriving at
Altoona l2:I5 p. M, where stop for din
ner will be made, reaching Philadelphia
G:2i p. M, and arriving Atlantic City, via
the Delaware River Bridge route, at $40
p. M, making the run from Pittsburg To
the seashore via the only allrail route in
eleven hours and iorty-five minutes.
Passengers may also spend the night in
Philadelphia, and proceed to the shore
by any regular train from Market street
wharf or Broad street station the follow
ing day.
Tickets will also be good on regular
trains leaving Pittsbnrg at i:3o and S:l0
p. M. both of which will carry sleeping
ears through to Atlantic City.
For detailed information in regard to
rates and time of trains apply to ticket
agents, or Mr.. Thomas T.. Watt. District

FROM the synopsis of Gen. koontz's
remarks at the Combine circus last
Tuesday afternoon, reported in the
personal organ it appears that that
valiant warrior-after freeing the
slaves-traoed the history of Republic
can legislation down TO the resump-
tion of specie payments in 1878, or
about the time when he deserted the
Republican flag for the purpose of
waging guerrilla warfare against the
party and party leaders. No wonder
that the audience, composed largely of
Democrats, was unable to see the per-
tinenee of his remarks and asked for n
diagram.

To which would you prefer to belong?
The regular, undoubtedly. The irregu-
lars are. admittedly the most numerous.
but they are i'm a very undesirable state
of no discipline. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters will soon remedy this want in a dis
ordered liver or bowels. Biliousness
manifests itself in yellowness of the skin
and eyeballs, sour breath, furred
tongue, morning nausea, discomfort in
the vicinity of the liver, vertigo and sick
headache. Hosts Of people suffer thus.
These signs of insubordination to the
goveranee of health. together with an ir-
regular condition of the bowels, are soon
regulated by the Bitters, which also
overcomes malaria, dyspepsia, rheuma-
tism. neuralgia, nervousness and kidney
trouble. As a means of checking prema-
tnre decay, Fastening convalescence, and
mitigating the infirmities of age. the
great tonic is without parallel.

Marshal Tharp, of Haughville, and his
deputy furnished good deal of amuse-
ment for the people of that suburb yes
terday afternoon in their attempt to ar
rest an eighteen-year-old boy. Rene Dol
larhide was the cause of the trouble. He
took few drinks too many and was max
ing little fuss when Tharp came along
and ordered him to go home. Dollarhide
advised Tharp to run home himself. Tharp
then tried to arrest him. but the boy
turned upon him and gave him a severe
drubbing and got away. Tharp secured a
piece of plank and started after the boy
again. but the boy took the weapon away
from Tharp and hit him on the head
with ii.
About this time Deputy Shaw came up
20 assist his superior officer. The boy beat
them both off with the club and dehed
them. Tharp then went home and secured
his pistol and mace and returned. Dollar
hide ran toward the river. The officers
overlook him and again he turned upon
them and drove them back 10
town. He then went home. and when
Tharp came after him, it is said, he drove
Tharp out of the yard and then TO his own
home where the marshal took refuge be-
hind a cook stove and bofted doors. Be
fore Dolarhide ran home the two officers
cornered him downtown and he said he
would let the deputy arrest him, but he
would not submit to arrest by Tharp.
When Shaw started TO take hold or him
Dollarhide changed his mind about being
arrested and SELLING a few loose bricks,
made the officers hunt cover The boy is
still at large.
