wise no encampment of any kind will
be held. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES At
kinson has figured out that he will
have money enough to pay all the ex-
penses of an encampment with the sim
gle exception of the pay of the men.
The law allows the privates compen-
sation at the rate of $1.25 per day, with
n further allowance of rs cents per day
for subsistence, the per diem of officers
being n trifle more. Gen. Atkinson
has addressed a communication to the
commanding officer of each company
asking that the men be canvassed with
n view to ascertaining if they will be
willing to waive their claims to pay.
The 70 cents per day for subsistence
will be paid by the state, the men sim
ply donating their time.

small pile of oats distributed over the
field. Not being able to account for
them, his curiosity was aroused, and
upon investigation it was found that
each pile covered a quantity of paris
green. This alarmed him and he eX-
tended his search over the entire prem
Uses, locating IL of the piles. In his
dooryard and buildings he found many
piles of bread which proved to contain
poison. Not long ago he lost two cows,
and until this discovery their death
was a mystery. About year ago
Blanck had trouble over establishing

was held at ChesaniDg on the 10th.
There is split in the party, and two
men, w. l.. Ireland and M. ID. Kirby,
captured the convention from IS voters.
They succeeded in getting their men
elected as delegates, who are anti-Bliss
and Fordney men. When the defeated
ones of the convention discovered what
had been done, threats were made to
lynch the chairman, NJ. ID. Kirby, who
quickly went out. The convention
was recalled and a new set of delegates
elected. 1t is looked upon as a most

Leaped Into a Coke Oven.

Leaping high into the air as an eX-
pert diver would in taking a fancy
plunge into the water, an unknown
man committed suicide at Connellsville,
Pa, on the 23d, by diving into a coke
oven. In less than minute what had
been a man apparently in the full vigor
of life had mingled with the curling
smoke of the ovens, distinguishable
only by its blush brown color and nau-
seating odor from the gas smoke of the
burning coal. A more tragic death
never occurred in that region. All
there was to show for the man who
but few seconds before had been in
life was a charred mass of flesh not
three feet in length. There is nothing
about it that would serve as a means
of Identification.
