Wen, ib'-y fid nmke the Governor re- A lw days po Jerry Sirrre-n qualified on a luad fr Two years t.oso 1 as a victim ol the pM bag.

It l.ofc a if his were the victims of a Liin.li::?. Ir is currentiv rep.jrtl that the scalp at expectant Secretary darkles at Hut Jeaks cisde noFUi-h blunder as did when be uniii-ri'V)k to instruct Congress. h.K Ki sliould ii-it be t'o much downcast. It may turn cut that all of ill nat have to have certiScatcs i.f charai-ter by oi'ia. It is to eee liow it woui i 'tJthr son? of them.

The best cu be siiiJ of iii I Attorney Olney is that "be is receiving jO-M (r year from railroad and other corporations." It was ti he "a CahinL't of business and the Attorney ieneral seems to have been fuii i L'-J-ilntS." is no l-mt'er any doubt that the iVmocrats will control the new which on Mar Ttic-re is little to in tLis a they have both tle Tiecu-ivc 1 the ari wiii now K' lor the con luctof the g.ivercmer-t. Tucshootingof John W. Ma. kay, tbe mil'ionaire, and the euiciJingof tlie would-be murderer, is only another of the dal arts of the cranks of the period, ho S8ek to avenge injuries resulting from their own filly by eseatsiuation. Chief Paxson la.st wetk resigned bis position to accept the appointment of receiver of the Reading railroad.

Governor rVttisori bas appointed Jnde Ileydrick, who was last fall defeated by Judge fill the place made vacant by the resignation of Jude Paxson. Mu. Clevelwd's admirers say that his early announcement of the names of the men wboare 'o anr.yc-se his Cabinet is due to bis habit bning to sccrtts to hide fr-im the public The pecrecy of thelivesof most of Mr. Cleveland's advisers bas bidden them from the public for an average period of abo ut forty-live or fifty years. The completed Cabinet, as oiiicially announced, is: Gresham, Secretary of State; Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury Lament, Cen tury of War Herbert Secretary of the Navy; Secretary of the iD.erior; Postmaster Genera! Morton, Secretary of Agriculture; Uin-y, Attorney General.

Tuis gives the Kist three members, the South ti.ree, nnd the est two. Tiik Albany Ti.u-t. a strong iMnncrat-ic paper, calls atteution to the fact that of the 1'77 electoral voles cast for Mr. Cleveland were cast by Northern Slates and by ut eru and that cf the I' 17 members of the next House of Representatives are from the North and l'. frvn the Sjtith.

In selecting triree Secre aii'-sfiiii tl.e south, therefore, Mr. Cleveland simply rc.vjnu his to that section. Hako 'ld1-r h3 apparently lost it I res ie in MaySiChusetts since the campaign of ls-iO. A bill bas been introduced iu the liay State Legislature making it illegal to sell bard cider in less quantities than a barrel. The i resect law already prohibits Lard cider from being drunk on the premises where it is made or bought, but it is slid t'nt tie law is laughed to scorn.

It is feared that the same fate befall the pending bill should it a law. TnE decision of Judge Hazen, of the Distric Court of Kansas, that the Populist House has no 1 gal as a legislative body, invalidates every act of that orgin'u ition. This ia another notable victory f-r the Republicans. It is a continuation cf the position they have nia'nlalued. It invalidates the credentials of Senator-elect Martin.

It is a rebate to the insjleut claims and of Governor Lewthlng. The la M-ssnrtis of the Populi-ts ii now generally ejsreded. that Ji; Ije decision would le against tt.eui, their Sute Treasurer managed to pay cut tJS iu warrants before the urt cllicere could servo the j'apers upon Lhn, and it is njw announced that tbey propose to ignore the Supreme Court. vexxoi; financial ruin is complete, but tie is facing the situation al! the courage jr tiich he ia f-inous. The praise which he is receiving is fully deserved.

Many men in bis position would, under the same circumstances, be scheming jt some means to avoid piying the note which he euiorsed. McKitiley's only aim is to pay every lie incurred the responsibility and meets the istu like a man. But the conduct of Lis ife is even more admirable, since she was rot accountable for the acta which led to the embarrassment and could not reasonably be expected to b-r iohtriunce to make good a loss with which she had absolutely nothing to do. lieing an invalid only.rings ber course out the more prominently. Iu p'ia words l.er determination means that hhe is ii'iiig to lore-go the things hsch she has been accusioaied to ail ber life in order U.tt her husband's iiersonal le.

(Cation may be above criticism. AN OPEN LETTER. E. H. Buttorbaugh Reolies to His Detractors.

Pays for What Cots. A tub Editor, bile in charge of one of the Johnstown Dailies, recently prepared published for a friend, now seeking for an opportunity to back out of a fair contract with me. a Listory in detail, as disparaging and daring as possible, of several purchases made by me, over a year ago, of certain tracts of coal, situate in Somerset and Cambria counlirs, nuar the Cambria and Eomer set branch of the B. O. E.

indiscreetly expressing Lis own erroneous opinions of try agreements, which, if believed, might be calculated to do me great injustice, where the fa: ti are unknown and the source is cot well considered. At first I thought to let this matierpass beneath my notice, fully beiieiing as I do now, that it had its origin in the fertile brain cf a defeated and unscrupulous competitor, whose back-bilings I have always disregarded, until his promising? appeared in print, for several cowarJly, malicious and dishonorable purposes not necessary to mention, to be further utilized as an advertising medium, in preparing the ay It earn ing out other selfish schemes latr on. When I made the purchase alluded to by that El; tor the prospects for speedy sales or operating any of this coal profit, could not have been more discouraging. Judging from the many tnisera-fcit of my predeoessors up till this tiaie in their vain attempts to bring this much-abused, yet valuable coal field into market, I considered my task a difficult one and the time required very uncertain. I supposed that 1 had made purchases of reliable men who would be above trying to annul agreements with me, to obtain more money, if covetous parties should invade my territory, before my work was completed aud leu pt them with bigger pricrt.

It seems that my suppositions were not weil found-el. To obviate many culiculties seemingly in my way I agreed to pay for this (coal aiouej tLe highest known prices ever etfered in that vicinity up Lili that time, simply because I have never been so conscienceless as lo make the price below ten dollars per acre aud for cual and all other minerals combined. I consider it outrageous to buy coal of the farmers at a low price, and bind tbem to ibrow iu oil. gas, fire clays and all other minerals for good measure, as so many are doing. I strung out my pavments as far as 1 couid, hoping to pay sooner if possibie.if tiut.tobe.itie to if, as great inducements toothers, lly agreements were not "evidently misleading." They are explicit and equally for both buyer and sel ler.

Tliey re-pjirecoal only aud such mining rights and privileges as may be actually necessary tor carrying on mining operations successfully. Ample reservations are always mentioned iu them for full protection of farm buddings, orchards, ic, and right to mine, use and sell coal for farm uses and local purposes granted free of charge to owners of the surface (if demanded). Mining timber is nolciaim.vi unless it is freely otfred to encourage miung. No fault was ever fjund with them until their true meaning was mis-construed by thoe ho have wilfully at-tempted to slander me and have meddied wiih my business, with a view of driving me out of their way by their many misreprest and thus rob me of a harvest to which I am jjstiy eniitled. In malting my coot rat if a number of payments are likely to U- due the same time, as a matter of safety and convenience, I generally secure a righ; to deposit the money in some convenient bank, which is always mentioned when signatures are obtained.

It is useless for anyone to deny that I depjsited the necessary (ayments in the First National Bank of Johnstown before be money was due, payable to the order of the several parlies lor whom is is intended, giving proper notice to the parties, who will not receive it, who, for most trivia! reasons not creditable to themselves, are now trying to back out of their agreements with me, notwithstanding full considerations have since been tendered them, more than two years before it is due and further otTsrs now made but not accepted lo for all surfa-x made useof in mining their coal and to waive any other objectionable features mentioned in said agreements. Afier written notices were served on me of their determination to annul their contracts by the j-arties of whom I bad made these purchases, the parties to whom I had soid the ccal (now in dispute) demanded deeds and it was necessary to ray rights and ask the aidofthe law toenforce my contracts. II. BcTEKBtCoa. The editor of the Heeai.d has inspected a number of the articles of agreement in the possession of E.

H. Butterbaugh and 1 them to be in proper form The Cabinet Filled. Mr. Cleveland hss at U-t finished his job of Cabinet making, it is presumed, to his own satisfaction. Thursday he announced the acceptance of Richard Olney, of Boston, to be hiattomey general, and CoL Hilary A.

Herbert, of Alabama, to be his secretary of the navy. This makes the Cabinet stand as follows Secretary of State Walter i Ciresham, cf Illinois. Secretary of the treasury John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky. Pot Piaster genera! Wilson S.

Itiasell, of New York. Secretary rf war Ianiel S. Lamont, of New York. Secretary of the navy Hilary A. Herbert, of Aiar-ams.

Attorney general Richard Olney, of Massachusetts. Secretary of the interior Hoke Smith, of Georgia. Secretary of agriculture J. Sterling Mor-tou, nf Nebraska. Herbert ha; allalonjbe-n the strongest candidate for the nava! portfolio.

Southern politicians hsve boom! him, and moreover Col. Herbert's work aschairmm of the naval committee in the house was a strong recommendation to Mr. Cleveland. CoL Herbert ii weli in touch with nava! ailairs. lie was chairman of the naval committee in the Louse during Mr.

Cleveland administration, and again holds that chairminsh ip. In respects he has been the logical caiidl for the placf. Ric'-iard is one of the lea ling practitioners of the Massachusetts bar. He Las not held any political position or been prominent in p-ilitital matters, but is known as one of the leading lawyers and substantial citizens of Boston. H.s appointment is looked upon as a recognition of the work of the Jassacbusetts delegation in the nominating convention at Chicago.

Arose from Coffin. C.ark-rille, Feb. U. Peter Johnson, an aed colore! mvj, died a few days ago a' Eikton. Frieaii watche lover the corpse until yesterday.

On of the women who we-e watching the corpse procured a towel and some cold water, and began to bathe the brow of the supposed dead man. She was startled to signs ol life, and all the colored people W( thrown into a state of t-rror by the negro raising his Leal from his coffin pillow and in-j airing what was the matter. The ajed darkey was taken from the coffin, and is rapidiy regaining health. A sad accident occurred at the Pennsyl va-nia railroad station at Greenshurg Thursday evening. Two little children of the Pv.

W. Fuak. pastor of the CaiteJ Brethren Church, were crossing the track when a local Height caught them snd carried the little ones, the one a girl aged 7. the ether a boy of years, a distant of 50 yards. Bot were liviiig when pic ked up.

but the physicians say the little girl will die and Lave slight hope Tor the by. The little ones were going on an errand of charity, hir ng been sent by their Jther to an old member of the church, who is lying sick, with a basket containing a few dainties. Governor Pattison, Thursday, appointed Jadje Christopher Heydrick, of Venango county. Judge of the Suprems Court to fill the vacancy caused by Chief Justice Pax-son's redenatiwi to accept the position of receiver of the PhilaJe'pbia and Res ling Riil-rl Company. The appointee will serve un lr his commission until ths first u-day in Jaauary, Relatives and Repetition.

Lst week we spoke of te unnecessary reietilion of a relative with the same antecedent. The error is still more serious where it is repeated in tbe eame sentence with different antecedents, as, "The grand snow-rvpped pile wbicb rises above tbe waters wh-ch Up tbe shores of the Pucet Sea, which in Seattle is called Rainier after tbe French navigator." This species of rejieti-tion may be avoided (1) by substituting that, wbicb cannot be used after a preposition as, "He was stunned by a stroke of lightning (which) that struck a tree near which be was standing." (To avoid the too frequent use of who and which that should always be used where tbe.oonnection between the antecedent and tbe relative is so close as not lo admit a comma between tbem.) (2) It may be avoi Jed by tbe nse of a participle, as, "The question of business prudence on the part of tbe paper or company (which issues) issuing the policy is one (which) that admits cf argument." (3) Sometime also by tbe omission of the relative as, "All laws are hereby declared inoperative (which) that exempt from tbe payment ol duties any articles (which are) not on tbe free list." These remarks will apply to the following examples 1. Tbe Supreme Court, which is to be tbe arbitrator in the case which at one time threatened to end in war. i Ee was called npon fur a speech, which he delivered in a style which seemed to be pec uliarly Lis own. 3.

The Company bas nice buildings, which will soon be too small for their business, which is sure to grow fast. 4. Wbicb can be watered by tbe beautiful streams which come gushing forth in every direction, which abound in trout. 5. A water loan bond which was destroyed by tbe fire, which burned tbe Ingram homestead about a year ago.

C. I.illie Whalen, wbo bad gone to the station to meet ber mother, who was expected to visit ber. 7. Tbe case of John Cook, wbo tried to kirk tbe deputy who attempted to serve a writ upon him. We have shown that the relative may and often should be used, instead of and Ae, and tl.r, and it they.

Tse uho in each case here and let aud drop out 1. All licenses must be registered in tbe county in which the holders intend to practice, and shall file a certified copy. 2. A Kreat number of tbe adherents of the new creed were captured, including three leaders, were instant iy decapitated. 3.

Those contemplating availing themselves of this opportunity will find tbe B. 0. R. the quickest route. 4.

Rev. A. C. Snyder returned borne on Sunday to fulfill bis appointments, was visiting at Greenville. 5.

There is a slick swindler going tbe rounds and working the two confiding housekeepers very cleverly. 0. Woi. Sbafler was at tbe station with his horse aud wagon, and bad backed bis wagon to near the track. 7.

Those who have take it to your miller, be will grind it free of charge as bis contribution. In like manner it may be shown that trhum is often equivalent to and Aim, and cr, and than. A'e don't care they have as their supervisors; why should they aay should be our street It would make sense to say "and them they have as their supervisors," therefore we may fill the first blank with uhum. We can also say "and they should be our street commissioners," so we may fill the second blank with who. Apply the same testa to these sentences: 1.

Tbe deceased was the mother of seven children, with their father are left to mourn ber death. 2. Mr. Harrison would have appointed to the Bench, bad he not decided to ap point a Democrat. 3.

Ringgold, whose eyes were blown out and otherwise hurt, is also in a fair way to recovery. 4. Polished dudes, if we knew their real character and nature we would shrink from tbem. 5. Surveyors, we think are agents of the Vanderbilts, are quietly inspecting Indi an Creek Valley.

6. Went gunning for an enemy, be supposed was in a bouse kept by a woman named Frisbee. 7. Dashieil, it is said left Richmond under a cloud, bas been seen in Panama. To avoid repetition and monotony sen ten ces like these may be changed to contain relative, (often nsed adjectively) included in a prepositional phrase.

"There was a long Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, and then Mr. Blaine remained with tbe President until it was quite dark." (Instead of "and then" read "after 1. There are twelve million families in the United States, and of this number near ly two-thirds own their own homes. 2. Water and sewerage were free to rich and poor alike, and the expense of providing this was met by general taxation.

3. His parents lived at Townsend, Colorado, and to that point his remains were snipped Monday noon. 4. Patterson has been with tbe bouse for many years, and in that time has establish' ed many branches. 5.

John Lape left home on April 1, and since that time nothing has been beard of him. 6. All persons will please settle their accounts before Ojt. 22, after said date they will be left for collection. Orammanans tell as that wfcu is equivalent to O.at which or thiat tckich, but in the following examples tbe substitute words should be preferred 1.

The railroads will be enabled to furnish the cars and move what are loaded and ready for shipment. 2. Beside causing a financial panic worse than what followed Black Friday. Tbe use of but trial instead ol but that or that not is inadmissible. In the sentence "Never a day passes but what I see at least a dozen carts rolling through tbe streets," where the writer means to (ell of something be sees every day, hut that or its equivalent th.it nit is the proper form, tbe sense being "Never a day parses but that I see, or that I do not see." Apply this test to tbe following 1.

It did not affect bim so much but what be still bad sufficient assurance to present bis bilL 2. There is hardly a Mexican but what is thoroughly in sympathy with the revolutionists. 3. There it hardly a town but what of fers a good locati for an Industry of tome sort. 4.

The actor never came to Washington but what he called on tbe statesman. 5. Hardly a week passes bat what some company visits the town. Tbe example 'There is no qnestion in my min i but what the court will decide in oar favor," where tbe writer means to aay that be bas no doubt of a favorable decision ia ambiguous, and but should be omitted so as to read "that tbe court will decide in oar favor." That should be nsed, omitting but 1. Is there any question but that its present connections and those ia proipect will benefit Baltimore 2.

There is no doubt bat that be will mske an efficient and obliging post-master. 3. There is no qoenion but what it will be satisfactory to tbe pe ple of this country. 4. I haven't the slightest doubt bat (bat they would have been accepted.

A. No one ever doubted but that be would get it. While but is sometimes nsed alone, in tbe following let that still be nsed instead of but 1. There is no question but the outlook is regarded more favorably than ever be fore. 2.

There is no question bat the king of Spain will reform most of the abuses. CactoiJo. Joseph Zetsock, a Polander living in tbe Sixteenth ward, Johnstown, Tbcrjdsy made a bet with another Polander that be could drink two quarts of alcohol in 15 minutes. At noon be undertook tbe task.
