The Pt. Marion Fire.

POINT MARION, Pa, Sept Is
The people of this place tender
their thanks to all who so manfully
battlsd with the flames which threat
ened to entirely consume this town
on Sunday might. Also to Mr..
Spec, OF Friendship Hill. who was SO
kind as to telephone Judge Umbel
to have the fire departments of I'm
iontown sent to the scene at his own
individual expense. But this was
found to be unnecessary after time.
= was a precaution well taken, hove
ever, for had there been any breeze
some twelve or Is buildings that are
now occupied would be in ashes.
1t is apparent that the destroyed
buildings was we'll insured. Proba-
bly, there will be loss on the stool
of j. X. Conn. 1t is only about six
weeks or two months since one of
the Mr. Conn's stuck a match up to
a measure in which he had been
drawing an infiammable liquid, when
it exploded and came near burning
down his fathers dwelling At the
same time he was himself severely
scorched.

A Working Governor.

When Gov. John Walter Smith
comes toward the close OF every
week to his nome in Snow Hill it il
generally supposed it IL for rest.
But the contrary Is the case. He is
at work all the time. He has very
extensive business connections which
keep him ION wheels" so to speak,
much of mis- time, to say nothing OF
the wheels Of State Government
which he must keep oiled.
Talking OF oiling suggests that
recently he had to take to pieces
the extensive steam machinery Of
the lumber mill owned by his firm
at Snow Hill and give it . thorough
overhauling within limited hours.
Into this work he went with the ma
chinists and agot out of the woods
on time. He put on overalls and
superintendent the grimy work like
d licensed steam engineer, oiling the
parts that needed fabrication, direct
ing repairs and setting things going
again in good shape. There we're
few about the premises who could
keep up with him and not to stop
to rest. OF course it was an emer-
gency that armed him with an oil
can, put him into overalls and made
him working Governor. He said
to someone who challenged him that
he was making living. = Balti-

No Pardon for Spaldipg.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.--Banker Charles
w. Spalding will serve out his peni-
Tertiary sentence, according to the
finding of the Board of Pardons. The
sentence was indeterminate, or from
one to ten years. BY the finding of
the board Mr.. Spalding must serve the
full term Of ten years.
Spalding was President OF, the Globe
Bank, which failed in the winter Of
1696.97. among those who We're af-
fected by the crash was the UNIVERSE
ty Of Illinois, of which Mr.. Spalding
was treasurer.
A romance that grew out of the
case was the marriage in the county
jailsof Mr.. Spalding and his stenogra-
pher, Miss Louise Erwin. She has
been indefatigable in her efforts to
have her husband paroled.

full report oE sill the facts relative TO
tho trouble between Lieut.. Charnock
and Higgins, and the subsequent
events ID and about hospital head
quarters, w.l~ presented % Bg.- ode
Commander G L. Smith. Upon
these statements papers were pre-
pared charging Gen Morris Hork
heimer with interfering with an off
Ger in the discharge Of his duty, and
with conduct unhecoming an officer.
The usual procedure would be
trial by court martial, but the Off
GERS in authority are reticent as to
their plans, and some OF them ex
press the hope that the matter will
be amieably adjusted without
court martial. The officers are to a
man, indignant over the action of
Gen. Horkheimer, and do not hesi-
tate to say so. They assert that he
had no more authority tasn 4 eieil-
ian, to give orders on Sunday after
noon, and that it was only because
of respect for his rank as an APP
pointee of Governor White that his
interference was--not resented at the
time.
While Major Joseph was dressing
Higgins wound in the hospital tent,
Gen. Horkheimer entered, and en-
gagged In conversation with Major
Joseph. who stated that he did not
know Gen. Horkheimer. and had not
seen him before to his knowledge.
Gen. .Hoikheimer made a sweep
ing assertion in hospital headquar-
tiers, which reflected upon III The Of.
ticers of the National Guard. His
exact language was rcncated, u d it
was probably that fact which is re-
sponsible for the feeling against him
among the officers.
Yesterday afternoon Gen. Hork
heimcr visited Camp Curtin in eiti-
zen's attire. He called upon Major
Joseph, ana apologized to him for
his rash assertions on the previous
day. 1t is said that he also intima-
ted that he would resign from the
staff of Governor White.

is understood, would not affect the

NEW-OLD JOKES.
Two Anecdotes That Go to Prove
There Is Nothing New Under
the Sun.

"Is there any new joke under the
sum-" asks George Augustus Sala, an
English journalist and special CORE
spondent, who died a few years ago.
Il doubt there being one, very
grayely," he answers, and tells two
anecdotes to support his skepticism.
An intelligent Greek, who acted as
Mr.. Sala's guide while visiting Athens,
related to him, as modern Greek Joe
Millerism, the story of a lawsuit. A
deaf plaintiff sued deafer defendant
before the deafest judge in all Greece.
The plaintiff claimed so many hum
dred drachmas for rent that was due.
The defendant pleaded that he never
ground his corn at night. The judge,
in giving judgment, observed: well,
she's your mother, after all; you must
keep her between you"
when l got home l found" writes
Mr.. Sala, this apparently up-to-date
triad of ludicrous non sequiturs in a
collection of ancient Greek epigrams."
There used to be told a story of
Sheridan Knowles, the dramatist, who
was a frst-rate hand at Irish bulls,
meeting one of twin brothers, and ask
ing him: Which of We is the other?"
Mr.. Sala compares this with the story
of that very ancient jester. Hierocles:
"Of twins, one died; Skolastikos,
meeting the survivor, aske him: Was
it you who died, or your pther?'"

IRON ORE FIELDS RICH.
Great Northern Railway VIII De-
velop Deposits in Cascade
Mountains.

Development of iron ore deposits Of
Washington will be commenced this
year Iron of high grade has been
known to exist for many years, but lit
tie attention has been given to the sub.
ject because of lack of capital.
High officials of the Great Northern
railway have now taken up the matter.
Lyon Case, the Minnesota iron expert,
was sent to the state last spring and
spent the summer investigating the
iron ore fields tributary to the Great
Northern. He found two large deposits
of iron of Bessemer grade. One is sit
uated in Pakagit county, tributary to
the Seattle d Northern railway, re-
Gently acquired by the Great Northern;
another and larger deposit was found in
the Cascade mountains a few miles
north of Madison, on the Great North
ern.
1t is stated that President Hill is Civ
ing personal attention to the question
of establishing a rolling and steel rail
mill in the state, the present high price
of rails Offering an unusual inducement
for such an enterprise.

A MUTUAL SURPRISE.
An Amusing Anecdote of an Ambi-
tious Hunter and His First
Grizzly.

In Sketches Of Life in the Golden
State" Col. Albert S. Evans tells an
amusing anecdote of an ambitious
hunter who met his first grizzly bear
in procession. The incident occurred in
the woods near the site of the present
town of Monterey.
The hunter sat down to rest in the
shade of tree, and unwittingly went
to sleep. When he woke it was near
sunset, and he sat up, rubbing his eyes
and contemplating a return to his hotel
several miles distant.
just then a rustlng and cracking
noise from clump of chaparral about
100 yards away attracted his attention.
Out walked grizzly bear, monarch
of his kind. He yawned, licked his
jaws, and then advanced toward the
tree where our hunter sat, but evident
ly was unconscious of his presence.
His grizzly majesty had proceeded
about 20 PAGES when a female bear fol-
lowed him, and an instant later third
grizzly followed her at a slow, sham
bling pace.
The hunter sat spellbound with ter
ror as the procession came toward
him, until the forward grizzly was
within 30 yards. Then, scarcely real
izing what he did, he sprang to his feet
and uttered frenzied yell-yell upon
Yell
The effect was magical. The fore
most bear sprang into the air, turned
sharply about, knocked the female
down, rolled over her, gathered him
self up and bolted like 40 carloads
of rock going down a chute" straight
for the chaparral again, the other two
bears close at his heels. and never turn
ing to see what had frightened them.
The hunter, seeing the enemy re-
treating, sprang to his feet and fed
at top speed for the hotel, leaving hat
and gun behind. The truth of his wild
and startling tale was proved the next
day by the numerous bear-tracks of
different sizes found in the marsny
ground near by. But the three bears
had gone off beyond pursuit.
