Congress Said to He Prepared to Ignore
the Clayton Buiwer Treaty.
LONDON. Jan. 2i.-The Daily Chron-
icle says editorially today: !;
According to advices we have re-
ceived from Washington, a canvass of
the senate and house OF representatives
has placed it beyond dispute that. con-
gress will not only pass the Nicaragua
canal bill, but will pass it in form
directly at variance with the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. This is statement of
decidedly serious Importance, and We
hesitate to believe that the United
States government will commit itself
to course which this country would
have regarded as unfriendly.

DEATH OF JOHN RUsKIN.
Long Life of Famous Author and Art
Critic Ended.

Critic Ended.
LONDON, Jan. 22.-John Ruskin died
Saturday afternoon of influenza, aged
81. Ruslin had been for several years
in state Of mental decline and had
lived almost alone in his retreat.
Prior to his collapse his long life had
been one Of unceasing altruistic act
ivity. He was not only the greatest
writer on art but the pride of English
literature" Rusxin's essentially ef-
fective work in this world was his con-
slant battle against wrong and his
constant efforts to establish, to uphold
and to extend the right. John Ruskin
was born in 1919, the year of Queen
Victorias birth, the year of the birth
of Charles Kingsley, James Russell

Cock Fighters Painted Things Red at
Centralia.

From Saturdays Ashland Adv0eate
we take the following:
Centralia was the storm centre for
all the cock fighting plugulists in the
coal fields Wednesday. They came
from everywhere in wagons, beer
wagons prlncipally-buggies, by troll
ley and by train, and many of them
footed It to the town of doubtful repu-
tation. 1t was a motley crew, and
one that was full of fighting spirit, as
was fully shown before the night was
over.
The attraction was a cock fight, or
series of them, between birds owned
by Mike Ryan, of Danville, and one
Schmlcker, of Shenandoah. 1t was
to have been a series OF nine battles,
for purse of $500. They were not
decided, however, as the affair broke
up in a wrangle, with pistols, rocks,
clubs, brass knuckles, and beer bot
ties as side lines. Things were hot
for a long time, and the self respect
ing people of the town were much ex-
cited as to final results.
In the melee Anthony MCAndrew
got bullet in his foot, ,and the missile
was afterward found in his shoe. The
wound is not a dangerous one, and
Anthony will soon be himself again.
Willie Riley, who is said to have been
the man who shot him, was taken in
hand by McAndrews friends and
"trimmed' to fit the most artistic
Centrala ideas. He is worse off than
McAndrew.
The scene of the affair was in big
barn right in the heart of the town
which was fitted up for the occasion
in accordance with the most approved
cock fighting ideas, and it was jammed
full of people. While cock fighting is
against the law there was no attempt
to stop this one, although the Columbia
county officials were fully informed OF
the fact that it was to come off, that
is if they read the newspapers.
Schmlcker is said to have had the
best of the fight, he having won the
first, second and fifth battle, while
Ryan took the third, and fourth. The
referee was a man from Sunbury, and
1t is said that it was one Of his decls-
ions that caused the trouble that pre-
clpitated the row although many say
that it was just started on genera
principles.
The match was declared draw,
and all bets were called off.
The town was full of sporting blooe
and many of the saloons were oper

A FORTUNATE ESCAPE.

While conveying load Of his
fathers household goods from Center
township to Light Street, on Monday
Harry Zeigler. met with an accident,
which might have resulted fatally. He
was descending the hill near Emory
Hagenbuch's, and in an effort to stop
the team, which had become un-
manageable, he tumbled off, rolling
under the horses. He was saved from
further injury by the sudden over
turning of the wagon. Had it passed
over him, his lite would undoubtedly
have been crushed out. The goods
consisting mostly of furniture, were
considerably damaged. The occur,
renee was witnessed by M. T. Greasy,
who expresses great surprise that the
young man escaped with his life.

A Sad Moving.
Rev. Klepfer Left for New Charge Friday
Accompanied by Remains Of
Dead Child.

That a family in tearing itself away
from a home where it has dwelt for
years and which has become erdeared
to it by the pleasantest of associations
should at the same time be called
upon to endure the additional and
greater grief of losing a member OF
the household is sad indeed. But
more pathetic, if possible, is the spec
tacle of the moving itself-the sutviv-
ing family, the furniture and the
household stores, and along with
them the remains of the one that is
dead, all journeying to a distant place
the family to enter upon a new
home amid strange surroundings and
the departed one to find a grave on
the hillside.
Such an incident occurred Friday,
the unfortunate family thus sadly be-
reaved being that Of G.. M. Klepfer,
recently of Catawissa and formerly
pastor Of Trinity M. +. Church, of
this city Rev. Klepter having com
pleted his five years at Catawissa, was
at last Conference given an appoint
ment at Huntington. Shortly after
Conference his nine months old son
was taken i'll of catarrh fever. The
child did not seem to be critically i'll
until within couple Of days past.
Friday morning it died. The arrange.
ments had all been agreed upon by
Mr.. Klepfer and his successor for
vacatiny and occupying the parson-
age at Catawissa. Nothing therefore,
remained for the bereaved family but
to proceed with the moving, taking
the corpse of the child along with
them.
They passed through South Dan
vile Friday morning on the o:44 train
Rev. Klepfer alighted from the car
during the stop to meet several friends
from this place who had gathered at
the train to extend their sympathy.
Rev. Klepfer explained that they had
the corpse of the child on the train
with them. remarking sadly that "the
first event TO take place in their new
home would be a funeral" There
are five other children surviving in
the pastors family: Mabel, Elsie,
Pauline, Robert and en.-Danville
