The wonderful solicitude displayed by
our market contemporary for the tax
payers, and especially the worklngman,
in its attacks on the retunding ordI-
nance will not deceive the people. The
workngmen have heard these profess
sions before and will govern themselves
accordingly. The insistent opposition
Of that paper. however, to the refunding
scheme is giving rise to conjectures as
to what influence it goadlng 1t. There
is a very dark colored gentleman con-
cealed in the wUodplle somewhere, who
will be smoked out yet.

ant governor, have asked Judge Taft
Of the United states circuit court, for
the circuit which embraces Kentucky,
for a restraining order against the
board of election commissioners and the
contestants for the minor offices Of the

That grand old patriot and eminent
Republican. Richard W. Thompson, Of
Indiana, has passed into the mysteries
of the beyond. They used to tell a
quaint story on Uncle Dick" when he
was secretary Of the navy under Presi-
dent Hayes. One day he visited the
navy yard and, seeing a man-of-war
for the first time in his life. he looked
down a hNtchway and suddenly ex-
claimed. why the blamed things hol-
lowi" But there was nothing hollow
about Uncle Dick"

The stassano electric furnace, which
has been tested in an experimental
plant Of one hundred horse power near
Rome, is claimed to reduce the cost Of
producing iron and steel about one
third. The apparatus resembles In APP
pearanee blast furnese OF very small
size, the heat being supplied BY an
electric arc between carbons entering
opposite openings at the bottom Of the
furnace, and adjusted by hand. Car
Donates and oxides are the ores usually
treated. The former are first roasted,
and 1t Is necessary to powder an ORES
and mix them with such proportion Of
carbon, lime or silica as analysis may
show to be necessary for producing the
desired quality Of metal. and then 70
form the powdered mixture into bricks
with Eve or ten per cent Of pitch under
hydraulic pressure. The dried bricks
are fed into the heated furnace, the
treatment then lasting a little more
than half an hour in a test producing q
small ingot. The process Is aided BY
the combustion Of the carbon Of the
mixture, and the electric energy re-
quired for each ton OF metal Is estima-
ted at 5000 horsepower hours. Further
experiments are to be made with three
furnaces Of about 500 horsepower, each
capable of yielding about 400 tons Of
metal annually.

TINA Esperansa, were seen numerous
clusters of small fragments of bItumi-
nous slate that had been broken from
the cliffs and were floating on the wa
ter. and with a single cast of the net
200 of them, some Of them more than
half an inch in diameter and Weighing
ten or twelve grains, were obtained in
few minutes. The specific gravity OF
the pieces was 2.71, or nearly three
times that Of the water. The top Of the
stones was dry, and when this became
wet they Immediately sank. The cause
Of the phenomenon is perhaps soms-
what complex. Minute bubbles held by
a microscopic Aim of seaweed probably
contributed to the eject, which was
perhaps chiefly due to the repellant &C.
tlon Of the greasy surface, the concave
meniscus formed being practically an
increase Of the bulk of the stones. 1t is
suggested that these floating stones
may have played a hitherto unSuBpect-
ed part in geology as ocean currents
may have transported them long dis
tances, forming new strata far from
the original course.

What the Papers Say about the Situation

What the Papers Say about the Situation.
From the NIiltonian, Oct 9th.
THE experience of Hon. b. X. Focht as a
member of the Lower House of the Legislature
qualities him to render his constituents efficient
service in the Senate. He is we'll acquainted with
the methods and principles of legislation, aggres-
sive, ambitious and a ready debater. With these
qualifications we are assured that with his cleo
ton this district will receive its just recognition.
Mr. Focht served Union county faithfully while
representing it in the Legislature and he will be
asaithtul to the district as its representative in
the Senate.
From the Harrisburg Telegraph.
ii N. b. X. FoCHT of Lewisburg, has been
nominated for Senator by the Republicans in the
district composed of the counties of Union, Sny-
der and Northumberland Mr.. Focht will I've
remembered as the representative from Union
county in the House two years ago. He is a
brilliant young Republican, an elovuent speaker,
an efficient and painsaking legislator The dis
trict is Republican and if the Republican voters
give to him the support he deserves Senator f.
M. Hummel will have a worthy successor. He
is the editor OF the Lewisburg Nems, one of the
best county weekles of the State.

From the Media Ledger
BENJAMIN Is. FOCIIr, who represented in the
Lower House at Harrisburg his county (Union)
for a number ottcrms was unanimously nomina-
ed by the conferees of the Twenty Sen
atorial District, composed of the counties OF Nor
thumbcrland, Snyder and Union, to represent
said district III the Senate. Mr.. Focht is a
strong man and served conspcuously in the
House.
From the Northumberland County Republican,
Hon b. X. FoCHT is an orator, scholar and
an intelligent gentleman who has all the quail
fcations OF wise statesman. This district was
never better repr, sentcd than it will be with hin,
in the Senate His wide acquaintance and in
innate knowledge of the working of the Legisla-
tive machinery will be worth much to the dis
trict. Help make his majority overwhelming.
From the Frccburg Courier Oct L.
WHEN b. k. FOcht was member of the low
cr house of the Legislature he was man of at
fairs \ man who did things, and of whom peo-
pie talked in Il manner entirely creditable to his
genius as statesman. He, while being honest
and loyal to his own constituents was the cham
pion of the working men of the entire Common
wealth, and especially the friend of the United
Mine Workers, and supported every measure
that could benefit the farmer and wage-earner
He recorded his vote against trusts and mono
poles, and thus endeavored to advance the inter-
ests of ali the citizens of this great Common
wealth. There is no reason why every Good citi-
zen in this Senatorial District should not cast

The hearse crept down the street one day,
He was in it:
The funeral cortege made great display;
lie was in it.
Saint Peter received him with book and bell:
MY friend you've purchased a ticket lowell
Your elevator goes down in a minute"
lie was in it! -.
