| MASSACHUSETTS REFORMERS. Annual Banquet of the Bay State Tariff Reform League. CLEVELAND'S NAME CHEERED. Reference to the President Greeted " By Prolonged Applause—Ad- dresses By Prominent Men Endorsing Revision. A Bourbon Banquet. Bostox, Dec. 2.—The meeting and ban- quet of the Massachusetts ‘Cariff Reform league at the Brunswick to-night were highly succossful, There was present @ large number of prominent politiciais and govern- ment officials from Massachusetts and clse- ‘where, smong the number being Hon. James Russell Lowell, General John M. Corse, Hon. Patrick A. Collins, Congressmen W. C. P. Breckenridge, of Kentugky, W. L. Wilson, of West Virginaa and Scnator John T. Morgan, of Alabama, ‘At 5:45 the business meeting of “the league ‘was held and resolutions endorsing the mos- sage of President Cleveland were unani- nously adepted. Officors were then elected, after which the party proceeded to the ban- quet hall. When the gentlemen, to the num- ber of 812, were seated, Rev. James Frecman Clark, D. D., invoked a divine blessing. After the banquet Hon. James Lowell rapped the meeting to order. In the course of his address Lowell was in- terrupted frequently by storms of applause. At his first reference to president Cleveland, Dr. William Everett, jr., proposed three cheers for Cloveland, which were given with awill. Lowell, inthe course of his remarks, said: “One of the reasons that chiefly sug- gested the opportuneness of our coming to- gether here hus been the president's message at the opening of the present congress. Per- sonally, I confess that I feel myself stronely attracted to Cleveland as the best representa- tive of the higher type of Americanism that we bhave seen since Lincoln was snatched we are uot are here to felicitate presidentinl chair has s man in it, and th means that every word he suys is' weiy with what he is. Wo are hers %o felicitate each other that this man understands politics o mean business, not Thicanery, plain sp ing, not pa with us in a double sen that he has had the courage to tell the truth to country without regard to personal or rty consequences, and thus to remind us hat'a country not worth telling the truth to is not worth living in, nay, doserves to have lies told 1t and to take the inevitablo consequences in the calamity. Our politics call loudly for u broom. Cleveland, I think, has found the broom und begun to ply it. * 7%« He has shown us that there was such a thing as being protected too much and that we had protected our shipping interests #0 effectually that they had ceased to be pro- tected by coasing to exist. In thus limiting the fleld of his warning and his counsels he has done wisely, and we shall do wisely in following his cxample. Scnator Morgan, of Alabama, said: “Sec- tional lines of distinction no longer exist, and we are at last one people. 1 object to that system which wrings money from the pacy 0 bestow upon political aspivations, be they friends or otherwisa, The question is, shail we cut dowi the re to our wants, or shall we keep this rev year after year, or shall we dry up the sources of this” rev: onue and stop this wrong to the country " Congressman Breckenridge, of Kentucky, said: “Protection is never healthy nor in the long run profitable any more than fever- ish strength and restlessness produced by wtimulants is cvidence of health, The present rates of _taxation are uncqualed, onerous . aud hurtful to the mass of those employed in the industries professedly sought to bo protected, and so far o taxation is unnecessary for the necessities of govern- ment, economically administered, it is un- jumly imposed and illegally gathered from people. A réduction of taxation and re- vision of the tariff must be made gradually and cautiously, with the constant remem- Yrance that syatems long establised cannot e readily changed and that grave practical diffioultios lic in the path of any reform. In the nature of the case all protective taviffs must have an olement of instability and un- cortainty. Therearca few to whom this system is indood & bonanzay to all others it i% un injury and wrong.” Congressman Vilson, of West Virginia, Congroseman Hogars, of Arkansas, and ot ers followed in brief addresses. Governor Hill's Surprise Party. Aumaxy, N, Y., Dec. 20.—-Something of a sensation was croated to-day by the issuance of an order by Governor Hill vemoving from ofce Messrs.

Pirrsntne, Dec. 20.~A prombient ofticial of the Penusylvania company stated to a re- porter that while there was no truth in the rumor of a strike on their system, the men had requested an advance in wages, The re- quest came 1 the nature of a petition and not as a demand, He could not say whether it would be granted or not, but he felt confident there would be no strike. - A confercnce has been arranged between the railway oMcials and their employes looking to settlement. PritaveLriis, Dec, 20.—Officers of the Reading railroad company and the committee of the Knights of Labor came together again this morning and parted after & short but stormy session, Chairman Lee and Ben- nett, member of the executive committee of the knights, called at the office of the company this morning and sent in their names 'to Superintendent Sweigard. Lee informed a reporter that the committee had called in response to a request of the superintendent. Superintendent Sweigard said he would talk to Lee alone, but Lee said Bennett and himself were' members of the executive committée and that. the superin- tendent would have to talk to both of them or not at all. Sweigard said he refused to recognize any cotmittee, whereupon Lee and Bennett lelt. Lee was aftersvards discharged from the company's employ. Uniformed policemen guard every entrance to the Port Richmond coal wharves. There has been no trouble of sy kind. All trains, Yoth passenger and freight, moved as usual. The vanguard of the delegates to the con- vention of the Reading railroad employes, to be hield in this city to night, arrived this forenoon. Every local wssembly of the Knights of Labor . in" the = anthra- cite” region, embracing the Schuyl- kill, Lebigh and Wyoming regions, will be “fully represented and the meeting will beone of the most important that has been held for a long time, as it will decido whether the Knights of Labor will pool their issues in the fight and stand together or let the railrond men-fight their own battles. New Youk, Dec. 20.--Austin Corbin, presi- dent of the Heading railroad, defined the po- sition of the company towards its employes in a letter sent at noon to-day to McLeod, general manager, with instructions to com- municate its couteuts to themen. In it he says: “To such of owr old employes who have stood faitbfully by us we feel obliged and thankful, —_and shall not forget them, but. the time has now arrived when' 21 of our employes will be required to decide whether they ex- pect to retgin their places by reason of hopest 2ud fuithful service und prompt obedience to orders of the company that employs them and puys them, or _blind obedience to the direction of the Knights of Labor taroush which organization the leade hope to coerce us_into employment of men W ho consider the first obedience due to that order. Men that stand by us will have employment with reasonable hours and good pay. Men who do not will never be allowed on the road again under any circumstances. We haye never objected 1o labor organizations and do not not now. Every man shall be froe to belong to_onc_or not a8 he pleases, but orders cannot and shall not dictate to this company as to whom it shall employ or how to operate its property. R , Pa., Dec. 29.—Two hundred and fifty delogates representing the Reading rail- road and coal and iron company’s employes met here to-night. The majority of delegates present scemed to think that the strike on the railroad was for most part over, and that the convention should devote itself to doing the best it could for the miners, unless the men in this city should recansider their for- mer action not to strike, The Secret of the Strike. NEw York, Dec. 20.—The Evening Sun says: “Though the strike on the Reading system seemed to come snddenly, yet re- linble information indicatos that it is part of a long conceived policy dictated by Powderly and those who act with him. The Reading system was not the one originally aimed at by Powderly. In fact he was pretending to Ve friendly with that system.so that he might use it and his strength among its em- ployers 25 & cinbto beat the other railway systems of Pennsylvanin. Some time ago Powdelly decided to boycott, every road in Pennsylvania except the Reading. Secret orders weére sent out instructing every as- sembly to carry out this boycott, but these orders were transmitted in a different man- ner from all previous or ders to boycott. In- s¥ead of sonding out an official circular, he dispatched agents to many parts of the coun- try to request that all freightthat was possible should be diverted from other roads and shipped over the Reading. In this way he hoped to boycott the Pennsylvania, Le- high Valley and other Tonds secretly. The strike on_the Reading is taken by those are on the inside as indicating the failure of the boyeott. They did not get the freight and passengers for the Reading that Powderly intended. It was the exccutive board's pur- pose, afier diverting this business to the Reading, to demand certnin: things of the managers. Failing in this they ordered a strike in hopeof gaining by stopping trains what could not be got otherwise. It is a curious thing that the alloged cause of the strike is because the employes were asked by the company to handle some of the very freight the boycotters lmd caused to be di- verted to the Reading. ‘Work Resumed at Elizabethport. Etazaserapowt, N. J., Dec, 2.—Work was resumed ou the Reading docks this morning. Two steamers arrived with 175 ‘men of sev- cral nationulities, 4nd they were put to work under the protection of Pinkarton men, The shoniff has Yrmnhen\ the superintendent that he will sce that no violence is done. o one is allowed on the docks, and the discharged cmployes keep aloof. The Crew of the Newcastle. Barmivows, Dec. 20.—-The schooner Agnes A. Grace, which arrived to-day from Boston, bronght the crew of the British steamer New Castle City, which foundered noar the Nan- tucket south shoal light house, December 23. Allon board were saved. The vessel and cargo were worth $200,000. King Kalakaua's Roost. SAN Fraxcigco,Dee. 29.-~Private dispatches received here frommembers of the Hawaiian logislaturo say that-wore it ot for the pres- euce of English and American men of war in the harbor an outbreak would undoubtedly have been made on the assembly of the legis lature Decomber 10. Minister Ashford Lrought out the Honolulu vrifles with tho intention of subverting the govern- ment at once, but the snocess of the de- sign was proventod by the ofcers of the vessels whose threat stoppod the proposed insurrection before any sanguinary wouble ovourred. The king's vetocs are among the chief features of contention. The King has put in trust 1o pay his debts, which amount to §225,000, exclusive of $72,000 due the Chinese merchants which was paid to the king @8 @& bribe to obtaim license for the sale of opium, alt his real estate, which congisis of life intercst in the crown lauds and also lands which he cwas i fee simple, some two or three small parcels. It is said if the king does not assent 1o the actscf the present legislature he will Ve dethroned and & provincial goverament substituted. Those most concerned in the kingdom’s prosperity are favoring annexa- tion to the United States, and the feeling in this respect is spreading among the classes. i Byt Many Charitics Remembered.

River men say now that no coal can reach heré from Pittsburg until Februar, At noon to-day the temperature was 13 above. ————— THE EXTENSIO OOH-PLETED. Another Short Line Between St. Jo- seph and Chicago. Sr. Jos Mo, Dec. 20.—[Special Telo- gram to the Bee.]—Mr. W. A. P. McDonald, president of the St. Joe extension of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, to-day. re- ceived a telegram from Mr. A. A. Robinson, officially announcing the completion of the extension of the road to this city and inviting the soliciting committee to take a ride over the line at such an hour Friday as weuld suit their convenience. The committee is com- posed of the following gentlemen: George J. Englehardt, €. A. Shoup, E. L. Marney, J. 8. Brittain and W. A. P. McDonald. Mr. McDonald said to-day that the committee had not yet decided about tho details of the trip. I only the members of the committee make the trip it will be rather a small party, and it is not at all unlikely that a few of the more prominent citizens will be invited to at- tend. When it was first announced that the Atchison, Topeka & Sunta Fe would have its lines completed to this city by the first of the year, the idea was laughed at as preposterous. At that time the &30,000 which was neeessary to induce the Santa Fe company to extend its line to this city had not been subscribed and the prospects for its ever being raised looked excedingly gloomy. The committee went heroically to work, each member mak- ing it a personal matter, and the necessary amount was finally secured. The great ob- stacle in the w was the belief, which was shared by o 7 ¢ road would be built anyhow. This obstacle was finally overcome, the money was subscribed and now the same committee announce the completion of the road. Regular trains will be run over the road Sunday. The train will run, for the time being, between Topeka and St. Joseph via Atchison, and then over the . Joseph & St. Louis, which will be op- erated after January 17 with the Atchison to Lexington Junction. The Chicago, Santa Fe & California, which is now building between Kansas City and Chicago, will be in operation within four months and connecting, with the St. Joseph, St. Louis & Santa Fe at Lexington Junction, will make that route from St. Joseph to Chicago just one mile longer than the Hannibal, the shortest route between the two cities. S e Chinese Can Import Opium. SAN Fraxcisco, Dec. 20.—Judge Hoffman has rendered a decision in the United States district court in which the right of the Chi- nese to import opium is sustained. In De- cember, 1856, custom house authorities seized a quantity of opium,valued at nearly $200,000, which had been shipped from Panama to Woo Sing & Co., of this city. The opium was held in virtue of a clause in the treaty, which forbids the Chinese from engaging in the opiam traflic. Judge Hoffman holds that the treaty is not self-executory, and coungiess, having adopted no legislation, there was nothing to prevent the Chinvse from engaging in the business, S Trunk Line Freight Rates. New YORk, Doc. 20.—At & meeting to-day of the freight committee of the trunk lines at Commissioner Fink’s oftice, to which body: sub-divisions of freight rates west of Chicago was referred, it was decided to ratify the schedule tariff adopted by lhe sub:committee of the joint conference committee at a meet- ing held Docember 3. The-schedule will be adopted January 9 instead of January 2. There being a complaint from iroz men, a special tariff on iron was adopted, making the rate 25 cents per 100 pounds in car loads and 30 cents on car load lots. ¥ ——— Probably Frozén to Death.

Panig, Dee. 20.—[Néw York Herald Cable —Special to the Begj—Maurice Bernhardt is married and settled. ‘“‘Le Petit Maurice,” a8 his friends now affectionately call him, ‘was married to the daughter of a recal live princess. A prince and princess—for the bridegroom, remembepy is the son of & trag- edy queen. The avenue d'Eylan quarter was all excitement yesteldly. Cab after cab, carriage after carrioge Were dashing toward the scene of the nuptualdrama, pedestrians uninvited and invited guests trudging along besides them bound in the same direction. By noon, the hour fixed for the ceremony, there must have been a couple of thousand people gathered about in front of the little church of St. Honore de Eylan. Police on duty forced thegn buck to the right and left of the gates. At least a thousand people had tickets for the church, which was very small and soon crowded. It waa a curious congre- gation, such as you seldom see at mass. Ac- tors and actresses, in all the glory of their paint and feathers, artists and men of letters, ladies of the world and ladies of the half world. Scattered among them were a host of eager foreigners, Americans and English chiefly. All Paris and a stoong detachment of strangers were dying to sce La Tosca and her daughter-in- law. Such a restless congregation, too; such a rustling of silks, such a hum of conversa- tign; friends and rivals of La Tosca compar- ing notes and whispering scandal, you would have fancied you were at a premicre of a dress rehearsal, only the scats were not so comfortable and the house was freezing. The babbling and rustling grew so very loud at last that the priest stepped forward to the altar rails to admonish the people. It didn't check the chatter a bit, though. The choir was all ablaze with lights. Hundreds of candles at the altar and in the chandlebra were grouped about the altar steps and where there were no lights there were flowers; massos of roses, white and red ca- melias and azalias set in a frame of green the very best base ruriners in the country." Rourke, of last scason's Omahas, has signed with the Columbus (O.) team for tho coming year. Mr. C. C. Williams, Missouri Valley's famous wing shot, is in the city. The second live bird race between T, J, Hardin and H. A. Kennedy for §50 a side will probably be shot Saturday next, the weather permitting. Kennedy is to shoot at twenty- six birds, Hardin twenty-five, Jack Hetherington, who once broke two blue rocks out of twency-five, has gone to San Bardeno, Cala., to reside. In reply to Fred L. Gilbert, the self-styled middleweight champion of Dakota, who writes to know whether a fight can bo ar- ranged between Lim and Arthur Rothery for £00 a side, the latter authorizes the BEr to say that he will fight Mr. Gilbert, any way, anywhere, for any amount, from a nickel up, and at any time he names,” This should cer- tainly be explicit enough for Mr. Gitbert. AMUS —— SMENTS. Newton Beers, In “Lost in London," Delights an Audience. Newton Beers, with uniformly good sup- pert, delighted a large audience at Boyd's last night in the powerful spectacular melo- drama, “Lost in London. The play is one that appeals strongly to the lovers of the emotional and sensational, It is full of in- tensely interesting situations and a rapid suc- cession of incidents, whilea vein of bright comedy runs through each act. The author, with much felicity and rare constructive ability, tells the pathetic story of the fall of a lowly Lancashire mariner's wife, her be- guilement by the blandishments of an ac- complished villain to the great city of Lon- don, her luxuriant, but unhappy and re- morseful life there, her final discovery by her noble but broken hearted husband, their touching separation, retribution, death. Mr. Beers impersonat Job Armroyd, the dis- honored husband, and did the best work of the evening. He made a picturesque figure and his acting was well studied and forcible. Jessie Lee ]umdnlph played the misguided wife, which might be considerably improved upont vet, while considering the fair quality of the whole, it would be harsh to criticise. Laurenh Rees, as Gilbert Featherstone, the villain, was much at home in the role. Johnny Williams, as Benjamin Blinker, was effectively comical, while Jennie Setterlee Ym'(l’a)‘ the sterling character of Tiddie palms, ferns and evergreens, Against (3;';;":’1;,;::;';’1‘::\,.:’“,3;;t,,',',';.',’,“\,“‘t"‘, them flushed the scarlet of three | wood, H. Charles, Annie Stickney, Helen little acolites, swinging censors. Among a hundred other social, literary and artistic celebrities in the church, youmight have seen Mile, Barlet, Victorien Sardou, Miie. Dudley, Prince de Sagan, Alfrod Stevens Whittier, Le Comte de Lisle, Jules Claretia, Ajexandre Dumas, Mme, and Mlle. de Ruti, George Clairin, Duez Mounet Sully and the prettiest actresses of all the boulevard theatres. The bridegroom, following the bad tradition of country, wore an evening dress. He looked very handsome, in a boyish way, and scemed very proud of his little bride. While the orean pealed out a processional hymn the wedding party took their places before the altar, Sara on the right, the Princess Jablonowski's mother on the left, the young couple in the| center. The bride was trembling a good deal. Sara had much difficulty in stifiing her emotion. She was suffering from excitoment and had a fit of hoarsene: The sertice was impressive. The choir of Porte St Martin sang the Veni Creator. M. Pistan, assistant conductor of the same theatre; played a cello solo. Joubert, the American ‘Vlolinist, vlayed a ro- mance, “Sans Paroles 6f Sivori.” M. Lorran, of the opera, treated us to a serrenets “Ave Maria,” and the choir did wonders in “Gou- nod’s Laudate Nominum.” Much curiosity was felt as to what M. Le Cure would say to the happy couple. His task was delicate enough, but he performed it very tactfully, making a graceful - allusion to the artistic triumph of ‘ the bridegroom's mother, exhorting . La , Tosca’s son to remember that .from . his . youth he had been famillar with noble thoughts and reminding both young peopte of the debt they owed their mother for her care and solicitude and called on them to _live purely and honor- ably, Sarah was devout enough to have pleased the pope. The bride and bridegroom were equally submissive. When mass ended the wedding party moved into the sacristy where for half an hour they stood receiving embraces and congratalations. That ordeal was over at 1ast_and the wed- ding cortege once more treaded in through the aisle to the church door where the spec- tacle of the bride and her mother’s long trains carried by two servants gave much satisfaction to the crowd. As La Tosca is- sued from the church & ocicer went up. Hide thy diminished head, brave Boulanger. Sara, #s usual, made A& charming hostess. She had a kiss or a hearty squeeze for each nmew arrival, Long before the re- coption was over she was exhausted. Sara, who had managed, however, to change her costume, now sat radiaut in & necru brocade tea gown, covered with plush wrap, richly trimmed with fur. The lucky man was very busy, but found time o have a chat with the Herald correspondent. ““Where did you wmeet your bridet" said the correspondent. “Here, in this very house, a month and a half ago,” replied the Llushing bridegroom, “but she had known my people for some Varry and Agnes Wilde. The ballet was ono of the most attractive features of the per- formance. What it lacked in quantity it made up in quality, the dancing of Mile. Teresina Carlotta, the premier, being really most artistic. The “revels of the nymphs of tho Iakelt is @ picturgaque creation Fand as good a ballet divertisement as one sees in many a day. Over theso terpsichorean plays and ‘the concomitant splendors of cos- tume and scenery the audience was uprori- ously enthusiasiic. The North British pan- pipe singers, Messrs. Brunton, Rareshield, Guilmette and Haywood, made a decided hit. They constitute 4 most 'pleasing quartette. The' clever little dinlect comique, Johnny Williams, likewise was received with much favor, Altogether, Newton Beers and his company in “Lost in London" are well cal- culated to catch the popular crowd.

New York Times: Three feeblo and suffering survivors out of a crew of five hearty men who sailed the schooner D. and k. Kelley out of Norfolk harbor last Friday were brought into port yesterday by the Norwegian steamer Oden, Cap- tain Define, from Port de Paix. Two of the survivors wére colored men—John W. Coleman and Frank Taylor. Their legs were badly swollen, and they had not yet sufficiently recovered from the effects of their trying experience to bo ou their feet. The third survivor was the mate. David B. Campbell, who, al- though his hands were badly frostbitten, is about again, The D. and E. Kelley, it scomed, had a cargo of lumber on board for New Haven. Captain W, C. Taylor, an ox- perienced skipper of Providence, was in command. n Saturday afternoon, when the vessel was twelve miles east of Phoenix island, o honvx squall came up, and Captain Taylor headed for the Delaware breakwater. Soon afterward the wind shifted ahead, and in order to avoid going ashore it was nccessary to put about and head out to sea. At 6 o'clock in the evening, during a terrific snow squall, the deckload shifted and the schooner was thrown on her star- board beam ends. The crew sprang into the port main chains, where they clung for life, while the vessel drifted through the blinding snow toward the shore, where she struck at 11 o'cloc A sea then washed over the port side, where the crew clung, The stoward, a young colored man who had been shipped at Norfolk, relaxed his hold and was swept away. For an instant he was seen struggling, then a flurry of snow swept over him, and when the wild whirl had passed away he had dis- appeared. Soon afterward the deckload went overboard, carrying with it the main- mast. After being relieved of thisload the schooner slowly righted, and at midnight the four survivors crawled on to the quarter deck, The cabin had been swept away and the forward part of the vessel was completely under water. At 4 o’clock in the morning the wind changed to westward and the wrock floated off and drifted out to sea. When the eastern sky grew bright and the stormy waves began to assume dis- tinet forms, the survivors began an anxious day’s watch, Their supplies had been washed away, and the pangs of thirst and hunger were added to the sum of their misery. Dusk found them still watching and hoping for the suc- cor which eame not. The mate passed the gloomy watches of the stormy night in looking for the lights of some passing vessel. The two colored men forgot thirst, hunger and exposure for the time in sleep. Soon after midnight Captain Taylor started up and cried out that he could not see. His sufferings had resulted in blindness. Then his mind began to wander. “Icannot see!” he cried, “I am thirsty and hungry! Have some one take me to a hotell”” Then he reached out his hands and groped for some one to lead him. Tbe mate finally induced him to sit down on the de He made a few incoherant remarks and then sank back, and his sense of suffering gave way to the peaceful calm of death, A moment later the body of the poorold captain was washed overboard. At 8 o’clock the next afternoon the survivors were picked up by the Oden, on board of which they were treated with every kindness. ————— AN EARTHQUAKE EVERY DAY, Terrible Suffering Oeccasioned by the Shocks in a Mexican Town. A Nogales dispatch to the Globe- Democrat says: Colonel Kosterlitzky, who is in charge of the national fron- tier police at Bavispe, was in town last night. He painted a woeful picture of the present condition of the earthquake sufferers. He said that the Mexican government had quite recently sent them plenty of provisions, but that they had an insufficient quantity of wearing apparel to keep themselves warm. Their huts on Refuge hill, which ave constructed of ocatilla poles and grass, offer but slight protection from. the weather. Winter has set in with sleet and snow, and the merury has registered lower so_far than for many previous vears. The few houses which were con- Structed on the site of the destroyed city about a month ago have been shaken to their foundation. At wmost the survivors have but enough clothing to cover their nakedness. Their sufferings are greatly aggra- vated by the severe cold weather. Itisnotan easy task to depict their sufferings. Imagine a hill covered with snow and dotted with over one ha dred huts, in which, on account of their inflammability, no fires are burned. In them are upward of 150 men, women and children, buried in hay, with old rags covering their shivering bodies. The earth quivers, and like 0 many rats from their holes, pour out the cotton and calico clothed barefooted people, expecting to see the earth yawn and swallow their hill, For hours the, stand without their huts with the the mometer at zero, fearful lest more shocks will come. The past month has been one of unceasing terror te all Some days the recuiring trem r'4 would not be experienced, but just sc sure as & day c?n psed without them the following ({uy a succession of shocks, ~so strong in na- ture as to make standing impossible, would follow.

L o HISTORIC LOGS. Panctured With Indian Bullets 100 Years Ago, They Do Duty in a Hog Pen. New Derry, Pa., correspondence New York Sun: On the premises of John Cummins, of this townslip, are & corn erib and @ pigsty, each of which is built of logs. 'fhc logs are thickly unctured with bullet holes, and the ullots that made them are still em- bedied in the logs. The logs were cut more than 100 ycars ago by Colonel l‘omom{. one of the first settlers in whaf is now Westmoreland county, who buill a log cabin in the wilde for himself and family. Pomeroy was & famous Indian fightor, ns was® Major Bell, who lived with his family in & cabin half a mile distant. One day Colonel Pomeroy's cabin was attacked by a band of Indians, Pomeroy barricaded himself and family in the cabin, and the Indians besicged them all the afternoon, firing froquently into the log walls. The firing was heard by Major Bell, who crept through the woods to the spot. Seeing that the Ine dian force was too strong for him to attack he returned home, placed his wife and two children on his two horses, and taking a circuitous route through the woods, approached Pomeroy’s be- sioged cabin from the rear. He suc- ceeded in signaling the colonel, ‘and' Pomeroy managed to get away from his' cabin with his family under cover of the woods in the rear. His wife and chils: dren mounted the horses behind: Major: Bell's wife and children, and the party: escaped to Fort Wallace, five miles dis tant, without the Indians discovering. them. Soldiers were sent back to ate tack the Indians, but they had lliuur- peared. The bullet-punctured cabin was occupied by Colonel Pomeroy and, descendants of his until 1840, when it was purchased by John Cummins, who tere it down and made his rig—pfln and corn-erib out of its historic logs. One of Major Bell’s descendants, live ing in the same neighborhood, has the gun with which that noted Indian fighter and rovolutionary soldier used in all of his exploits. One of these, which is related us an especially intor- esting and characteristic feat of tha major, is to the effect that once sn Ins dian, in an endeavor to entrap the wily and greatly feared encmy of his race, imitated the call of the wild turkey near the major’s cabin. The major was a great lover of turkey hunting, and his practised ear detected a difference bes tween the call of the bird and the sound of the Indian’s call, although the imitas tion wag almost perfeet. He took hig gun and dragged himself on his stomach through the brush in the direction of the sound. He finally located the call in o tall pine trec, and discovered the Indian perched on a branch near the very top. Major Bell fired and the In= dian leaped high above the tree top and tumbled to the ground. The deatd In- dian was recognized by the major as Black Wolf, one of the most daring and bloodthivsty of the Seneco chiefs. ness with them s i) Pressing Berry Wall's Trousers. Some time ago, while the orviginal “Erminie” company was playing an en gagemens, in Washington. W. S. Daboll, the inimitable Ravermes of the cast, oce cupied at a Washington hotel, with his wife, a room which had just been va- cated by Berry Wall. After Mr. Daboll haa been in the room a couple of duys & messenger came to him one morning saying that Mr. Wall had sent for a pair of trousers which he had forgotten on leaving. The actor searched the closets but found* no trousers exeept his own. The messenger left, returned soon, say+ ing the trousers were under the bed. Mr. Daboll searched and allowed the messenger tosearch, but still no trousers could be found. A third time the messenger came, begging pardon for giving the actor so much trouble. The trousers, he said, would be found between the mattresses in the bed, where Mr. Wall had placed them to be pressed. Mr. Daboll turned down the mattress, and there, sure enough, were a pair of trousers, stretched out very carefully and creased s nicely by being slept on by 190-pound Actor Daboll as they would have been by the most caveful tailor. Mr. Daboil laughed heartily at the king of the dudes’ method of pressing his trousers and then gave them up to the messen- ger. Later he wrote the following and sent it to Mv. Wall: “Mr. E. Berry Wall dr. to W.S.Daboll and wife. To pressing one pair of trous- ers, $1.50.” The actor has as yet secured no settle- ment with the king of dudes. — - A Show .

But a showman who has retired on the profits of gulling the public now tells how it is done Says he: ‘“Just as I throw myself back- ward, to go down, I would flip the cigar end for end with my tongue and upper lip, get the lighted end in my mouth, closing my lips wator tight around it.
