James Book, of Plaingrove township, is mourning the loss of a hog.

The porker; The Committee on Appropriations was a dead one and dressed all ready for the frying pan. Early iast spring Mr. Book bought sleek little animal called a shoat. It had a pretty white and black coat, small piggish eyes and a dainty little curl on the end of its tail. He put it into a nice clean pen, and his month watered as ne thought of the juicy side meat, smoked; ham and sausage in store for him, not to speak of the pickled pigs feet and roasted rite.

Days passed on, regularly the farmer and his wife feed that pig buttermilk and dishwater, with occasionally a stray ear of corn or a bucket of potato pealings. The pig grew and prospered. Its size increased tenfold, and soon it was called a hog. The email diamond like eyes were almost hid beneath great chunks of fat, the soft soprano voice that had marked its cry for food was now changed to a dismal alto and a bass grunt, offtimes marked its appreciation ot the morning slop. The harvest passed and the autumn came, the diet of buttermilk and dishwater was supplimented by new corn, and finally on a bleak November day, thfe hog was called a porker, and farmer said.

BURNED TO DEATH. Five Tramps Meet Mit.i Horrible ik I 'I heir Fault. AI Pres-. Middletown, onn Nov. The tobacco barn belonging to John Hubbard burned last night with two men and three women in it.

Mr. barn is situated about three miles from the city and out of reach of the lire department, so that no help could be brought to the unfortunates. They were tramp- who relied umbrella mending for a livlihood. The scene was a horrible one, the shrieks of the tortured creatures piercing the roar of the flames. It is supposed that they were intoxicated and crept into the barn for shelter, causing the lire by carelessness ith matches.

oeiated D. thirds of the members of the House Committee on Appropriations were assembled in the committee room of the Capitol at 1 to day in response to a call issued by Chairman Holman for a special meeting for the purpose of preparing some of the regular annual appropriation bills for the action of Congress when it meets for the second session. It is the purpose pang ofi to push rapidly all of these measures ior grunter, and the maintenance of the government next Jns porkship and as the Treasury Department has low.

A few more flourishes of the fortification appropriation bills by that time, there seems to be no reason why more bloody knife and the nog was scraped and dressed in the most scientific manner, and hung up by its strong hind legs to cool.

Hardly could Mr. Book wait until a choice piece of that hog was sizzling in the skillet, but alas, for the fondest hopes of mortal man. Mr. Book was summoned to the barn and while there a thief came and stole the hog away. No trace has been found of the thief, and the hog, oh where is he JAW BROKE A.

The affair was the most brutal that has taken place in Newcastle for some time and laid the Shalfer ear biting scrape in the shade. It seems that two Swedes by the name of Andrew Karscalk and Jacob Krusooskv got into an altercation about some trivial matter near the Etna mill.

They called each other bad names and finally came to blows. Karscalk hadn't sufficient confidence in his pugilistic abilities and seized a large nozzle of a hose with which he attacked Krusoosky in the most savage manner, the latter having no means of defense was knocked down and beaten in a terrible manner. His teeth were knocked out, jaw broken and his head and face cut and bruised in several places. In addition to this he was bruised in several places about the body. After making the assault Karscalk fled and has not since been seen.

An information has been made before Mayor Brown against Karscalk for aggravated assault and battery, and Detective Marshall is at work trying to locate him. The Swedish friends of Krusoosky are greatly incensed and Karscalk will receive rough treatment should they discover his hiding place. MRS. WINTERNITZ DEAD. Jumped From the Wiudon.

Both legs were broken above the knee and the womans is in agony. A Long and Active l.ife Ended day Fvcniujf.

Mrs. Elizabeth Winternitz died Saturday evening aged vears. Mrs. Win- teraitz was born in Bavaria, Germany, January 20, 1830. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Adler.

She came to America when but a child and after living at several different places finally located in Philadelphia where she was married in 1848 to David Winternitz. Mr. and Mrs. Winternitz came to New Castle in 1854 and entered the mercantile business from which Mrs. Winternitz retired about three years ago.

She was the mother of eight children of whom Attorney B. A. Winternitz of this city is the oldest. The other children are Mrs. Rust, of Pittsburg, Mrs.

Steinfield, of Beaver Falls, Dr. Isaac Winter- niiz, of Hoxie, Kansas, Mrs. Hianan, of New York, Ansel Winternitz, of Cleveland, and the Misses Maggie and Josie of this city. Mrs. internitz family are noted for their longevity her mother having reached the advanced age of 104 years.

While in business in this city she acquired a large acquaintance and there was probably no woman better known. The interment will take place to-day at the Jewish cemetery in New Brighton. no the House should not have one of these bills ready for its action as soon as it meets. The exceedingly heavy payments made by the Treasury during the first quarter of the present fiscal year have caused some dismay among the members of the Appropriation Committee, For the first four months of the year these payments have exceeded by $10,000,000 the expenditures for the corresponding period in the preceding fiscal year, which means a total increase for the present year of $48,000,000, while the appropriations for the year are only $12,000,000 greater than the appropriations for last year. That means, if the estimates of the committee hold good, a deficiency on ac count of pensions of $30,000,000, which will have to be met by Congress at the next session, in addition to an appropriation for pensions for the next fiscal year, of certainly not less than $150,000,000.

So the total appropriations that Congress must make for pensions at the next session will not be less than $186,000,000. With this enormous sum added to the other appropriations necessary to carry on the government, and increased importations expected to result from the agitation of the tariff question, it would seem that the Appropriations Commitete has good reason to be dismayed at the outlook, and to doubt its ability to prevent a deficiency in the national accounts. NEW YORK'S PRESBYTERY. It Re-assembles to Hear the Flea of Briggs of the Union Seminary. Associated ew ork ov a recess of fifteen days the Presbytery of New York re-assembled this morning in the old Scotch Presbyterian Church on West Fourteenth street for the purpose of resuming! proceedings in the charge of heresy against Prof.

Charlas A. Briggs, of Union Theological Seminary. Nearly every member of the body was in his place, and there was a large attendance of the general public. Moderator John C. Bliss, D.

IX, occupied the chair, and after the body had been formally called to order supplication was offered for divine grave and guidance during the deliberations of the Presbytery. The roll was then called, and the'moderator announced that the next business in order was the reply of Dr. Briggs to the charges pie- ferred by the special 'committee on prosecution. The accused Professor then took the floor. The answer he has prepared, it is said, take thirteen hours to read.

It takes in brief the ground that iiis views on the authority of the Holy Scriptures are not heretical, and are not contrary to the tenets of the church. A NEW MANAGER. Baron Rothwcliiid Absent. (By Associated Press. Bki ssels ov 28, a.

The Possible Outcome of the Cireat Nparinc Match in New York. (By Associated Press.) ew ork Nov. finish fight between Alex. Greggains, of San Francisco, who is claimed to be one of the best middle weights of the California coast, and Martin Costello, will possibly be pulled off to-night. It was originally scheduled for a week ago to-day, but reports of an alleged intention on the part of the police to interfere resulted in a postponement at the last moment, very much to the annoyance and chagrin of a large number of out of town sports that had rounded up in this city to see the fun.

Both men have taken advantage ol the breathing spell to put a few extra touches to their'training. Every seat in the big auditorium of the Cooney Island Ahtletic Club has been sold, and the choice locations are at a premium. The prospects are that the fight will be a clinker. The California boy has two good hands and can give as well as take punishment. On the other hand there are a good many old sports who believe that Costello has a mortgage on the purse.

The farmers held a very interesting meeting the Court House on Saturday, at which a number of questions relating to farm life were thoroughly discussed. STEAM PIPE BURSTS. nployes the 19 'Pos tma ZJcwCcit a very liberal one, although the exact amount has not been made public. Tonight the letter-carriers of the city will march in a uniformed body to the Fair and dedicate the electric Christmas tree, fifty feet in height, that has been erected in the center of the Garden. The idea of pensioning disabled letter carriers is one which has been agitated for yeais all over the country.

The action of New York to establish a fund without the aid of Congress is one of special interest to public employes in all parts of the United States. There are 3,024 em of the New York postotlice and sub-stations. Of these the majority receive less than $800 a year, 000 are paid less than $000 each, about 100 get $500, and perhaps 17 per cent, receive $1,000. The Mutual Aid Association has accomplished a splendid work since it was organized 23 yeais ago. Its funds are secured from a pro rata assessment of its members, who pay from (X) cents to $2.50 per month.

There has been paid to the widows and orphans of deceased members nearly a quarter of a million dollars. The Association has had the hearty good willof all the postmasters who have been in the office since it started. It has been at Congress for the past five vears to secure favorable action upon a plan to pension postmen disabled by accident or age. Success seems as far off as ever, and the scheme of the fair was finally hit upon in the hope that sufficient funds might be realized to inaugurate a pension system which the Association has in mind. Applicants for relief when accepted are to be paid 50 per cent of their annual salary, no pensions, however, to exceed $000 yearly.

This, it is thought, will be an equitable arrangement and one that can be easily carried out. RERT0SPECTIYE Of The Wire and Cut Nail dustry in New Castle. In- Ruius of the Old Macbiues now Viewed With of Works and Number of Men Employed Compared. The growth of the wire nail consumption has been something wonderful. About seven years ago a company in Cleveland, began manufacturing wire nails to compete with cut nails, until that time in almost universal use in this country.

To introduce them to dealers was fixed so that 100 wire nails would not cost any more than 100 cut nails. They were introduced to the consumers, and the demand has gradually increased until to-day few cut nails are used. The manufacture of cut nails in this city was at one time considered a great industry and gave employment to a large number of men. A visitor to the manufacturing portion of New Castle now views with curiosity the old machines on which the cut nails were made, and turns with wonder to tbe immense wire nail mill which has supplanted the old concern. No advancement in New manufactory interests has been so great as has been made in the nail industry.

Where a manias employed in making cut nails a dozen earn a livelihood at the wire nail mill and to every hundred kegs made by the old process, over a thousand are made by the Every carpenter of this city now uses wire nails almost exclusively in the erection of buildings and farmers prefer them to the cut nails very few of which are now used in Lawrence county. The vast improvements made in machinery has made it possible to manufacture the wire nails cheaper than cut, as will be seen by the following table Wire nails from mills 55 Wire nails from 1 00 Cut nails from mills 1 00 Cut nails from stock 1 70 When it is considered that there are a great many more nails in a pound of than of They are seen to be about 25 per cent, cheaper. WESTMINSTER WON. A Better System Needed in Lawrence County. fl MODERN FARCE.

The Executive Officer Visits Fasile and Converses ou the Why Gov. Pattisou Vetoed the Last Bill. Charles F. Ettla, executive officer of the old naval commission, is in New Castle. He is greatly interested in better roads.

It will be remembered that the commission spent considerable time and money in preparing a bill providing for the permanent improvement of the State highways. It was passed by the last legislature, but Gov. Pattison was induced to veto it by the Granger element. Members of the commission are now preparing a new bill at their own expense, which will be presented at the next Legislature. is no reason why tne State should not appropriate annually $1,000,000 for improvement of the said M.

Kttla to a reporter. money should not be spent for he continued. have had enough of plowing up ditches and throwing the dirt and refuse on the kind of a road do you believe to be the asked the reporter. macadamizing makes a good road and would probably be the easiest constructed; but it does not matter so much the kind of a road, so that it is passable at all seasons of the year. In the bill we prepared it was provided that the money should be divided among the counties according to the enterprise displayed.

We had no objection to a man working out his taxes when he did it at one time, and not a little just when it suited him, as many farmers now do. The system of so called on the as it is now done in many country districts, is a great farce, the main object with the majority of being to get the time in and be credited with the amount of their tax. A photograph taken of a gang of men at work on the country roads would reveal about one-half of them leaning on their shovel-handles and the other half barely in motion. the bill prepared the commission thought the best basis of distribution was in proportion to the amount of road tax paid in cash, and Gov. Pattison took exception to this proposition.

All we now ask of Gov. Pattison is that he will indicate what kind of a bill he will endorse, and we ill draft it according to his ideas and do our best to push it through the legislature. The State can easily spare $1,000,000 yearly for roads when so much is used for school purposes. The State Treasurer, Secretary of Internal Affairs, Auditor General and Tax Commission have given their assurance that there will be enough money left over after other appropriations are made to spend $1,000,000 annually on the roads. There is no reason why the farmers should kick, as the bulk of the State revenue comes from Philadelphia and Allegheny counties.

Their taxes would be no higher and their property would be greatly enhanced in value bv good roads. farmers in the northeastern counties were greatly interested in the bill, and although there is no limestone in these counties with which to make roads, Mr. Bell, of Buffalo, an officer of the Western New York and Pennsylvania Railroad Company, has given the assurance that his road would haul limestone from quarries in New York to be used on roads of northwestern counties at very small Mr. Ettla is on his way to Erie, where he will endeavor to work up an interest in the new bill. Reported at Lives Lost irnd.Marh Valuable Property destroyed.

Panama, via Galveston, Nov. Tbe republic of Costa Rica continues to be swept by destructive floods such as have never been known within the memory of the present inhabitants. Not only have many lives been lost and much property destroyed, but the face of the landscape is being changed in many places by the vast volumes of water precipitated upon hill and valley and plain. The foundations of mountains have been sapped by the floods and enormous landslides have filled ravines and covered fertile levels with rocks and gravel. A number of remarkable accidents have happened in connection with this tremendous landslide.

A telegraph engineer named Mereade and a lineman were carried down toward the river on the bosom of the great landslide. They were mingled with a stream including many tons of clay and bowlders, and every instant it seemed as if a rock would come crushing into their heads. On they were borne, and the vast mass went tumbling into the swollen river, sending up great waves and a mass of spray which engulfed them as if in Niagara, But they both kept theinsenses and managed to struggle to the surface and finally to scramble out as the commotion of the waters Much sadder was the case of an Indian woman who, from her post of labor on the hillside, saw her children carried away by the avalanche, and as they disappeared ran and tried to plunge into the mass to save them, but was prevented by her companion from self-destruction. Hundreds of the natives have seen their homes wiped out and their little patches of cultivated land obliterated, while many planters have seen complete plantations, which took years of care and capital to start, utterly destroyed. Laborers have struck work on account of the danger and it is rendered all the more difficult for planters to save what remains of their crops.

The republic of Costa Rica depends largely on the coffee crop. Dry weather is necessary for the crop to be successfully harvested in order that the coffee may be spread out on the ground to dry. This weather, therefore, means an enormous loss both to planters, to business men and to the revenue. POWDER Absolutely Pure. cream of tartar baking powder.

Instantly the casting house ls a change in the color of the vestments The village of Wampum experienced one of the sensations of its history Saturday noon when one of its citizens was on the verge of suicide.

Charles Thoman, a baker employed by Cunningham Fusselman, has always been known as a sooer, industrious citizen but within the past week those most intimately associated with him in daily life have noticed that he has not been exactly sane in all his actions. He has been heard muttering strange things to himself and for this reason his family have watched him somewhat closely. Saturday at about noon Mrs. Thoman, whose residence adjoins the grocery store, called Mr. Cunningham out to the bakery in the rear, saying that her husband had prepared the loaves for baking, but had stopped work and seemed ill.

Mr. Cunningham attended to the baking himself, but was interrupted by 10-year- old daughter Emma, who ran to him for help, and sayiugtbat her father was hanging himself. Cunningham rushed to the Thoman kitchen and found that the baker had clothes line to the outer knob and passing over the door had tried ending his life. Cunningham immediately cut the rope and Thoman fell fainting to the floor. He was revived, and Mr.

Cunningham tried to use some means to make him realize what he was doing. Thoman muttered something about debt, which was not intelligible. It was at first reported that a man holding a bill of sale on portion of the Band Hall threatened to sell, but it was afterward learned that he was thoroughly protected in the matter and had no cause for alarm. Saturday night Thoman broke away from his home and ran away, vowing that he would kill himself. The village turned outen masse and found him at a considerable distance from the house.

He has been strictly guarded ever since, and this morning seeme 1 quite rational in his talk. The case is a peculiar one, as Thoman had no family troubles. He has a wife and three children, who command the respect of the community. IN SOCIETY. Ohio Natural Can Aroused Over tlie the Supply.

Spmngfield, Nov. of Ohio using natural gas is greatly aroused over the unmistakable evidences that the supply is slowly failing. The pressure in the great Mercer county fields has decreased from 400 pounds to 75 and 80 pounds, and new wells are being constantly drilled in what has been a discouraging effort to fulfill contracts to supply gas to cities on the big pipe line, such as Dayton, Springfield, Sidney, Troy, Piqua, etc. To facilitate the distribution of gas a new-fangled force pump is being used to hurry the through the mains. All manufacturers have been cut off, and nothing larger than a hotel is now supplied with the convenient fuel.

The pressure is getting so unreliable and variable that hotels are taking out their burners. The local officials of the company are discouraged over the prospects, and consumers fear that they will have to return to the use of coal. Some are inclined to think that the large flow from the big wells in Indiana and the largely increased use of it there have something to do with the pressure here. The local franchise ordinarily requests a four-ounce pressure all the time. The past week it has been below that daily.

The Mouetary Conference. Bkcssei.s, Nov. 28. is a general belief among persons watching and participating in the monetary conference that the American delegates are treating with Alfred Rothschild to promote in concert with him some plan which will strengthen the silver market while not necessitating a cliairge in existing legislation. The exact nature of the plan is not known, but the American delegates are said to be quite hopeful of its success in case their proposals should not be accepted.

Canadian Crop Report. Toronto, Nov. 28. Ontario crop report shows that fall wheat has been a splendid crop, averaging over twrenty-one bushels to the acre.

Spring wheat turned out very poorly, yielding under thirteen bushels per acre. Barley is under the average in the yield and quality. Oats, although over 10,000,000 bushels less in quantity than last year, are still above the average in the total yield. Rye has done fairly well. Peas are under the average.
