The Rev. E. B. C. Coinings pas
tor oC a Presbyterian Church near
Pittsburg and Edward 0. Orth a
ivell-known civil engineer of that city
here drowned in the Conemaugh river
la mountain stream near Johnston Pa.
on Wednesday last. ' Against the ad-
vice of friends they pi't together their
canoes and sta-ted out on their way
to Pittsburg. As they started off one
of them ciied out "Make way for the
funeral." Two miles further on the
tboat capsized and drowned both
Hc great argument in favor of Mr.
Ilarrison's nomination fori president
was the importance of carrying In
diana. The various manifestation of
j republican ifeebleners in that! state at
ddast adraitj a doubt of lhe candidate's
(.ability to perform even this part of the
contract. Outside of Indiana it is al-
ready plain that the republican man!-
agers are not counting on Harrison
at all.
Keely the noted Philadelphia ms
terious motor man tells his stockhol
ders that he needs $10000 more
money and that he will not turn a
wheel unless all the suits instituted
against himiby disgruntled sharehold-
ers are dismissed. He also wants the
capital stock reduced froiri $5000-
000 to $2500000 and the shares re
duced from $100 to !$io each. Of
tliese shares Keely-wants $100000
and is willing to let the stockholders
.have the remainder. As he holds the
fcej to the situation whateer that
may be worth he will probably have
his own way in the mater.
The democratic party is committed
10 a policy of ta reduction and Judge
Tnurman asks his fellow country men
if they do pot beliee that they will
be better off by keeping in their pock-
et 'or otherwise using the dollars
that they now annually pay out in un-
necessary taxes? To suppose that
they can oe made richer by paying
uui in uies ineir nara earnea money
when if they were not taxed they could
keep their money to themselves is an
absurdity which the democratic can-
didate for the vicefpresidency insists

' ceived aj medal from' the !French Acad

The stealing a few days a ago of a
.registered package contajningi$i9ofeo
In currency on its way from Portland
Or'... to the ChWinir-!ii''tliiir in w

carried out still further because the
pouch was found to have been opened
j by a duplicate key .and the robber
was not detected until the packages
were counted. The thief did not long
remain undiscovered '.however and
; was found to be one of the clerki in
the New York office. He was con-
victed and sentenced to a llong term
in the penitentiary. The money was
