Has been to have the Bazar well patronized all days of the week, and to this end can show new and seasonable goods, at the time, without limit as to quantity, always anticipating the wants of our customers.

tion ef the Relief Department of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has been com. pleted, and it is thought it will now re move all the objections heretofore made by the employes. The revised plan will go into effect on the 1st of May. A circular setting forth the present status of the scheme was issued on Wednesday of last week. The following are the princi pal modifications of February 1, 1886: 1.

Membership in the Relief Fund will be entirely voluntary. 2. Any member may withdraw on giv ing notice prior to the 25th day of any month. 3. Any member may on application change to a lower class.

4. No employe can become a member of the Fund until he has been at least six months in the service, and no one whose service has been less than five years can advance to a class higher than that deter mined by his pay. 5. Death benefits are applicable to death from either accident or natural causes, and the additional death benefit which a mem ber may take is limited to an amount equal to the death benefit of the class in which he contributes. 6.

As membership is absolutely volun tary, the provisions for continuing death Denent on leaving the service is necessa rily omitted. 7. Full accident benefits will be paid for 52 weeks. 8. The sick benefit has been reduced to 40 cents per day.

Sundays will be includ ed in the payment of disablement benefits. 9. Employes in the service prior to Feb ruary 1, 1880, may become members with out regard to age and without medical examination if able to attend to duty. To obtain this privilege, they must make an- plication for membership prior to August 1, 1880. 10.

Any employe not the service prior to February 1, 1886, must have been in the Company's employ at least six months before he can become a member. 11. After five years' service, an employe not over 45 years of age may enter higher class on passing medical examination. If such service is not all previous to February 1, 1886, it must include one years' membership in the Relief Fund. 12.

New applications will not be requir ed from employes who shall have become members of the Relief fund prior to May 1, 1886, but their classes and benefits will be made to conform to the modified regu lations. How To Advertise. One thing which newspaper men have to contend with is that the results of ad vertising are not always visible to patroas, many of whom cannot understand why custom cannot be directly traced to the source where they expected their money to obtain it Business is like a river with many tributaries, and in which it is impossible to trace every individual drop of water to the spring from whence it came. But if an advertisement in the columns of the family newspaper that reaches each successive week the persons most likely to be interested in the solicitation, that paper is certainly a sure fountain-head of profitable trade in the stream of patronage far below. Temporary advertisements in a small way will not produce an immediate or permanent increase of business any more than a light shower will affect the depth of water in a well, but with persistency in the use of printer's ink the results sought will be gained in the end with interest.

Every enterprising and successful business man will verify the correctness of this statement. We regret that so many of our Shippensburg merchants lack either the enterprise or the courage to become successful anvertisers. New Goods this week. GSBSAJIAN BEOS.

Last Monday was a doubly historic day. It wason this day, 1775, that the first blood was shed in the great contest with Great Britam, which led to the freedom, of her American colonies, and the establishment of the Government of the United States. The struggle was a long one and at times doubtful, but the rightlnally prevailed. It was on tire 19th of April, 1861, that the first blood was shed in our great Civil War. While troops were passing through Baltimore, going to Washington to protect the Government, they were aU tacked in the streets, and several killed.

In both instances the blood of private citizens was shed, not that of the regular soldier, and they will always be found the true defenders of the land of the free and home of the brave. Bohke Kauptmas. At the Lutheran parsonage, by Rev. B. F.

Judge Krebs, the Presiding Judge of Clearfield county, speaking for the court, has addressed a letter to each of the successful applicants for licenses to sell liquor in that county, in which he lays down and defines the law very clearly. It is as applicable tc landlords and saloon keepers in Cumberland county, as in Clearfield. "The giving or selling of intoxicating liquors to minors, to insane persons or persons of known intemperate habits, is a violation of the law.

By a person of known intemperate habits is a person who you know will get drunk if he can get the liquor. Getting drunk is being intemper ate. "For either yourself or your apent, clerk or barkeeper to permit any spiritu ous or malt liquors, wine or cider to be drank on the premises, or the sale of li quor, on Sunday Is a violation of the law. "To sell spirituous or other intoxicating liquors and allow the persons to drink the same on the premises and become drunk, is a violation of the law. To sell spiritu ous or malt liquors, wine or cider to per sons visibly affected by drink is a viola tion of the law.

tJUSI a PGIUBER Ths AirfttlWorkcf Storm tint Swept 0vr HlmesoU-TUe terrible cyclone that on Wednesday 16th swept over Minnesota, leaves it under a pall of grief. The catastrophe far exceeds in ghastly details the first re ports of it. The revised estimates or the killed and wounded are: St Cloud, 32 killed, 54 wounded; Sauk Rapids, 81 kill ed, 100 injured; Rioe's Station, 23 killed, number of Injured as yet unknown. Six minutes after the cyclone struck Sauk Rapids, the best portion of the city was in ruins. Not a single business house is left standing on the main street and many residences are demolished.

The wind came from the southwest and swept everything before it for a width four blocks. The storm-cloud was as black as night, with a bright, clear sky on each side. The Court House is now a heap of ruins and several of the county officers were killed. The Union School Ilouse.the lresbyteriau and Congregational churches, the post office, flour mill and a large machine shop were all converted into kindling wood in less time than it takes to tell it. What was the centre of the town is now covered with all sort of rubbish, timber, doors, pieces of furniture, etc.

The community is groaning and wailing under a pall of grief that is intensified as each hour brings to light fresh evidences of the terrible woik of the dements. It was a few minutes after 4 o'clock when the skies became overcast with a dark cloud and a great black mass rose over the hills southwest of the city, coming with terrible velocity toward the Manitoba freight yards. The clouds hung low and rolled over and over like smoke over a battlefield, and were accompanied by a loud roaring and cracking sound that resembled a conflagration in its fury. The cloud was funnel-shaped and the point dragged along the ground like the tail of a huge arial beast, lashing everything that came in its path into atoms. Citizens had hardly time to flee to their cellars and seek other points of refuge before the whirlwind was on them and the air was filled with flying boards, shingles, bricks and other debris, that were strewn over the country and piled ia promiscuous heaps.

It came from the southeast and moved in a northeasterly direction until it reached the river, where its course was diverted, and it reached Sauk Rapids, where it diverged to the left, passing directly through the centre of the town. The utmost excitement prevailed. TVo-men and children fled from their houses and rushed aimlessly about in the midst of the dark cloud of dirt and dust and an avalaucbe of boards and bricks. Men lost their presence of mind and stood in silence and inactivity in the presence of the wild demon. It was hardly noticed before it was on the city in all its fury and people were not warned of their danger before it was upon them and they fell like grain stalks before a reaper's sickle.

It had hardly begun its terrible work before it was finished, and the scene that greeted the eyes of those who had escaped its fury was one that caused the stoutest heart to shudder. Cries and shrieks the wound ed rent the air and the ground was strewn with the bodies of the dead. Among them were stalwart men, weak women and weaker children. Citizens almost to a man rushed to the demolished districts, and, summoning physicians, began their work of rescuing those who were still living, from beneath the piles of dirt and fal len buildings. WILL EI32E2 BZSISH? Qsveraor Pattison Requests Elm to Step Cows am Cut The Executive Beport.

Governor Pattison, as a result of the investigation of the charges against the management of the Soldiers' Orphans' schools in this State, has demanded the resignation of Superintendent Iligbee, and appointed General Louis Wagner to be Inspector and Examiner of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools. The Governor has written to Rev. J. W. Sayers and Mrs.

E. Ilutter, removing them from their positions as Inspectors of the Schools. The Governor also sent to Attorney-General Cassidy a detailed statement re garding bis inspection of the schools and the examination of witnesses, ibis in vestigation, he says, unhappily established the substantial truth of the allegations of abuse and mismanagement which were made against the schools. The testimony, he says, shows a most pitiful, cruel and inhuman neglect of children; a want of the commonest necessaries of decent living and insufficient moral, religious train ing. The evidence also disclosed that neither the Superintendent of Pnblic Instruction, whose duty it is to visit each school once a quarter, nor the male and female inspectors provided by law had pei formed their duties, and also that the chief clerk in the Department of Orphan Schools was pecuniarily interested in two of the schools, and one of the inspectors was a stockholder in a school.

Continuing, the Governor says: "A sadder or more sorrowful story of deliberate human cruelty could not be exhibited. Making allowance for some overstatement or inaccuracy in witnesses, and giving due consideration to the errors of judgment or abuse of confidence reposed, the weight of the 'icts is such as to leave no doubt that the bounty of the State baa been wasted and misappropriated; that the Common wealth has been defrauded by dishonest and crafty speculators, and that many of the unfortunate orphans have been in a worse, condition than if they had been left to the uncertain charity of the in conclusion, the Governor requests me Aiiorney-uenerai to exhaust all the power of his department to Dunish those who have made themselves amenable to the criminal law; to enforce the rights of state against those who have defrauded her, and to recover some of the ill-gotten gains, if possible, from those who have grown rich by dishonest dealings with the Mate. The Eeath. of Falraaaxs. xnaaaeus Fairbanks, the scale manu facturer, died in St.

Johnsbury, Vermont, on Tuesday morning of last week, aged 90 years. lie was bora in Bromfield. Mass. He built his first scale in 1830. Becoming interested in the cultivation of hemp, he was early struck with the prinr tive method of dressing and weighing the straw and bent his mind to devising some improvement.

Mr. Fairbank's first arrangement was to place an A-shaped lever in a suitable pit and to balance on knife edges on this a free platform upon which a cart could be driven level with the ground. To keeD this platform from rocking he framed iuto it a vertical post well braced and from the top of this at tached level chains to fixed posts upon either side. These chains, being level. did, pot draw up or down, and the weight or the load was correctly indicated upon the steelyard.

The invention srew in popularity and value as its crudities reach ed a higher state of development, and finally became the standard scales of the country if not the world. So large waa the demand for tbem that Mr, Fairbanks and his brother, afterward Governor Fair- nanks, abandoned all other nadertakings and devoted themselves to the exclusive nuraiMtttx of the at UfeaUeft. cost $3,500. The special election held at Newport on Saturday to decide for or against the 000 waterworks, resulted: Against the waterworks, 186; for the waterworks, 46.

The origi nal cause of the bank's trouble is said to be defalcations amounting to about $20, 000 and some other losses.

The stock holders are responsible persons, and they say the depositors will be paid in full. A strange accident recently happened to a horse belonging to William Teldman, of Juniata county. While driving along the road near Oriental post ofllce, the ani mal trod on the end of aboard that waa cut to a point at one end, and the pointed end was brought up with great force, striking the horse in the belly and ripping him open, killing him almost instantly. Louis Pracger and his daughter Matilda, fourteen years of age, residents of Balti more, were caught Sunday by a train on a trestle bridge that spans a cully on the Western Maryland Railroad, one and half miles from the western limits of Bal timore city, by the Ilagerstown express, He was hurled from the bridge and killed while the child's life was saved, though one of her feet was crushed so that the leg was amputated. A large curly dog, the property of a fair lady in this vicinity, "struck" last Mon day and took possession of the spring wagon and when the owner prepared to enter, after stopping at one of the stores no amount of coaxing or threHblng, or clubbing or baiting or swearing, by out side gallants who endeavored to drive tne dog out would do.

He held the Fort and the fair owner was compelled to walk and drive while his Sanchoship was monarch of all he surveyed. Duncannon Record. The decision of the Huntingdon county court in the matter of granting licenses was handed down. In announcing the decision of the court, Judge Furst said they were of the opinion that they could not arbitrarily grant all applicants nor re fuse all. and that they had decided each particular case upon the facts presented in relation to it The number of licenses granted is six, two to hotels and one to bottling establishment in this city one to a hotel in Orbisonia, one in Dudley, and one in Broad Top city.

Licenses were refused to the Leister house and the Hotel Bruns, wick, the leading botrjls in Huntingdon. The Altoona Tribune says: Hon. Joseph Robeson brought from his farm yesterday a paper sack filled with new potatoes, the average size of which was about that of a hen's egg. These potatoes may be regarded as a freak of nature, although Mr. Samuel Learner informs us that he has witnessed the same marvelous production in Iowa.

Mr. Robesen was in his garden on the 1st of April cleaning up about the place where potatoes had been deposited for the Winter, when he discovered small potato tops. Upon examination he found new potatoes at the roots of them and in pretty large numbers. He says the old or parent potatoes had rotted and from each had sprouted these new potatoes. Railroad Paragraphs.

The Pennsylvania Railroad conductors will each be allowed twelve days' vacation during the Summer, without losing any pay. On the New York division the conductors will get fourteen days. There is talk of building a new railroad from Porter's siding at the junction of the Bach man Valley and the Hanover Junction railroads. This link would give York a new route to Baltimore over the Western Maryland, connecting with the Baltimore and Ohio road. An order has just been received at the Pennsylvania Railroad machine shop in Altoona for twenty new engines.

The Timet says that this order, together with others on hand and unfilled, will keep the men employed on full time all Summer.

This shows that the new station is to be a reality. Mr.

Gowen, in New York on Saturday, said that he had succeeded in forming a syndicate for the carrying out of his plans for the Reading road. The syndicate guarantees to carry out Mr. Gowen's plan, offering to take all bonds the junior creditors and stockholders will not subscribe for, and agreeing to pay off these general mortgage bondholders who will not convert into the new consolidated loan. The remuneration of the syndicate has not been revealed, nor are the other terms of the agreement known. Capitalists residing in New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburg are among the subscribers.

It is understood that when Mr. Gowen's plan is published the names of the membersof the syndicate, or at least of a committee of the syndicate, will be given at the same time. Qeod for Farmers. An extraordinary demand for wheat has arisen in Mediterranean ports, and the millions of bushels on storage in New York and other seaboard places seem to be inadequate to meet the demand. Every available ship in New York, Baltimore, Norfolk and other ports has been chartered to push the wheat forward to meet the engagements.

The advance in price last week was fully four cents a bushel. The railroads from the West are also heavily pressed in getting wheat for 1 ward to Us Hkboardt J. E. woLrz. Editor.
