TWO NEW JUDGES NAMED. TtM rrealdent Nominate Hufltnirton Pennsylvania and Hanborn af Minnesota. Washington, Feb. 11.
President Harrison has nominated Joseph BufDngton, ol Pennsylvania, to be United States district judge of the western district of Pennsylvania, aud Walter U. Sanborn, of Minnesota, to be United States circuit judge for tht Eighth judicial circuit. Joseph Buffington is a well known lawyei of Kittauing, Lawrence county, thirty-five or forty years of age. He has never held a public position before, but is regardod as one of the foremost lawyers iu tho western part of the state. A year ago, when a vacancy existed, Mr.
Buffington was strongly supported for the place, but Judge Ueid was appointed. When the latter resigned the president naturally turned to Euf-fington and selected him. The appoiutec has not been identified with either factions of Republicans in western Pennsylvania. Ho's a Republican, however. Walter H.
Sanborn, of Minnesota, is resident of St. Paul. He Is fortv-three vears of nre. and although he hjis never been in politics he has always been a straight out Republican. Mr.
Sanborn hever held but one public office, that of alderman in the city of St. Paul. He has had an exten- sive practice before tho' federal courts and it Is said that testimony to his abilities by federal judg with whom he had come in contact professionally caused his appointment.

Mv- S'-v v-- Deal Ever Consummated. AND THE READING NOW IS MASTER It A bnerln the New Jersey Central, I.ehlKh Valley and Delaware, Lackawanna and Western HailroaiU and Control lb Authrariie t'oal Market anil I'rli'e. PlilLAPKi.riiu, Feb. II Through the gn'utoet uV'iU ever made iu the history of railroading, tl IU-ailiug Railroad comimny will iy a divslciul ou its stock this year, and its net earnings will incrcai i.i'jJ.OUO la the next twelve months. The Reading uow coutrola, by lense ot 009 years, the Iiehigh Valley and New Jersey Central railroada, aud on Feb.
21 the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western will lie controlled In the interest of the Reading. The Reading and its leased lines now represents ttf capital and its earnings will amouut to wr year. This Is Ue grtatist roup ever known in corporation finance, beside which Uie fa-mou South Penn-Bi'ech Creek-West Shore deal ot lv5 ales to alwolutc insignificance. The statement a to the control of the lie-high Vallevnd New Jersey Central is made nuthonuitivoly. At the general offices of the Reading Railroad company President Mc.Leod is unlay the king of railroad The Reading controls cent of the anthracite coal production ltd hereafter it is alisolute master ot the aituntion.
By this combination tbs net receipt tor anthracite coal will be at least twenty-five cents per ton greater thuu last year. A NtaMniluu Deal. The results of this stujicndous deal are so far reaching as to be difficult of compre-( hension. The terms of the lease with Uie antral provttlos for a ruarantin uivttiena of per cent, on the stock ot that company, I 1 I V.I..1 I. kuU.l.u AH.
and in additiou the Central is to rooei ve one- half of its own net earnings in excess of the amount required for the 7 percent, dividend nntil the total dividend reaches 10 percent, per annum, the surplus over the 10 per cent te revert to tho Reading. The Central earned last year lll.M per cent, so that the Reading will get a l-r cent, on this lease nil Uie start. The Iiehigh Valley is guaranteed a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum until May 31, from that dute uutil Dec. 1 at the rate of li per and after the hist named date the guaranteed dividend Is 7 per cent. In addition to tho guaranteed dividend, and after the latter paid, the Lehigh Valley stevk is to receive one-half of the net earnings of that road, until the total, dividend shidl equnl 10 per cent, per annum, after which the surplus goes to the Reading iu the same manner.
Aside from other considerations, to be mentioned later, and which will affect the earnings of these two companies equally. Presideut Mclnod is confident that the Lehigh Valley, after May 1, when it new line to BnffiUo will be couiplejod, is certain, on it own merits, to earn more than the full amount of the guarautea, wholly regardless of any benefit which its revenue may derive from the now relations between the three comauies. To Ilnvolutlonlse the Old System. It should be remembered that the Lehigh Valley is now paying the Erie annually for trackage, a sum equivalent to 3 per cent, on it capital stock, and that the Lehigh Valley makes a net gain of thia amount, which, added to the 5 per cent, the company is now paying, will provide for the 7 per cent, guarantee and leave a surplus ot 1 per cent. In addition to this the Buffalo and hike traffic of all these lines will be thrown over the Lehigh Valley.
It is Mr. McLeod's conviction that the existing methods of marketing anthracite ore unnecessarily curaliersome and expensive. An agreement has bein rnjiched which will completely revolutionize the old system and result in enormous savings to the compa- nies interested in the mining of coal Tho plan is to consolidate offices and reduce the number of officers and employees. Tho joint business of marketing the production of these companies will practically bo controlled by President Mclieod's corporation, and wUl be so conducted as to not only secure economy, but to prevent competition. It is Mr.
McLeod's theory that the industries of Pennsylvania are now paying fair and reasonable prices for their fuel, but that the rates prevailing at New York, Boston, Chicago, Canada and other distant points should bo so equalized that they will bear a proper and just relation to the location of those markets with regard to the source ot supply, The Acme of Itallroad 1 This will give the industries of Pennsylvania their proper advantage over those of. distaut points, which have their own advantages of locality, und which now operate against Pennsylvania because, in addition to such advaAagos of location, they have now those of equul prices for fuel also, This is a wrong which will be righted. It is estimated that these changes taken, together will yield an increase of at least twenty-five cents per ton on all ooal handled by Uie consolidated Reading system, and without costing the consumer one penny more than at present, except at such places, as Uie product of the mines is now sold at actual loss. It is now plain what was in Mr. McLeod's mind when be acquired the Poughkeepsie bridge and the lines tributary thereto, which throw tke Reading and its entire augmented system into the very heart of New England, giving it the only all rail route from the middle and southern states to the east, with, connections with all important New England roads and enabling it to virtually control Uie coal traffic of that entire region.
This coup ot President McLeod's is the greatest in the history of railroad finan ciering and makes the Reading as strong corporation a there is in the world. McClelland' Imposing Funeral.

Senator7 Hill In Albany. At.nAKV. Feb. 11 United State Senator I tu i Blaine's Reported Intention Sets the Mill Grinding. EOT THE CABINET IS HARMONIOUS.
rieeretarlva Wuiinmaker, Tracy aud Noble Are Not to Nor He ltetlrrd, but lllaiue's Colleague Are of the Opinion That He Will Smm Mep llown and Out. Wahiunuton, Feb. 11. The dixrwU'h. that cl*tine would "after a reasouahlo 'ltorval" folkiw bin withdrawal as a cuudi- UU for pmmk-tit by retiriug from the cb-luet wan tf leyraplml back to Waahiuirtiin in varioiw distorted s1uiioa, which calhil forth a frum the Becretury himself.
Tlio atuUiiHot wtvi not uimlii In these din- initcltcs that Mr. Blaine would at onoe, or even within a ahort time, return to the pruaident hi cotuuihoion an awrvUtry of state. The stntomont wna made, however, thatataomo futnro time, after a "reaaon- Hlia intrval," so long soparated from his letter of withdrawal as not to associate the two acta in tho public mind as having any connect am with each othi'r, 8ecretury Blaine bad deUimitned ti withdraw frum the call- iuot. The aiinonuceraotit that P'retary Blaine hnd dctwrmimvl at some futnro date to ro-liim his tiortfoUo wue anthorized by the repetition of a conversation which Mr. limine hU very recently with one of hi moat iutimato and trusted friends.
During this oonvursntion Mr. Bhune told his friend that he had written the text of hie letter of withdrawal from the presidential field and added that he intended ultimately to folio thia letter with his resignation art a member of the cabinet. This statement was re peated to your correspondent acd tt publi cation waa not a violation of confidence. The early publicity of Secretary Blaine's ch'turmination may have in a measure defeated his own purpose, which was to sepa rate distinctly and totally in the public mind his wittidrawal as a presidential can didato from any connection with bis retire ment from official lifo. It is sieniticaut that Air.
Blaine is es pecially emphatic in saying that be will not go either to the Bermudas or to Cuba, but that ho will escape the trials of a sea voyage when he makes his southern trip by going to some pla-e which can be reached by rail. False Cabinet Bnniors. The announcement respecting Secretary Bhiine's plans was followed by a host of unfounded rumors concerning other cabinet cliango. These may be dismissed as utterly untruthful. These rumors were to the effect that Postmaster Gonoral Wanamuker and the president had had a falling out because of the noupolitical conduct of the postoffioe department; that Mr.
Wanamaker was to be given a foreign mission; that Mr. Wana-maker was to return to business life in Philadelphia; that Mr. Clurkson was to be made postmaster general; that Secretary Tracy had incurred unwarranted expenditures in the naval preparations for the expected war with Chili, and that thereby he had involved the administration in a controversy with the naval committee of the senate and houije, and that Secretary Noble was to resign in order to accept a judicial or diplomatic appointment. Most of theeo varieated rumors contradicted themselves, being manifestly absurd on their face. Mr.
Wanatnaker domes all the rumors relating to himself with specific exactness. The Beaignatiou Will Come. The basis for the report concerning Secretary Tracy is ridiculous but interesting. When, the other day, the expense account for taking the testimony of the Baltimore crew in California reached the second auditor of tho treasury, it was discovered that the man who had charge of the work had mado two specific and separate bills for the stenographic and clerical work, wherens it should have been for stenographic work alone, and upon the direction of the at torney general the extra or double charges were thrown out as unauthorized. Upon this action a report gained currency that tho entire exj)enses incurred by the navy department in connection with the Chilian affair had been "turned down." The report of Secretary Noble's coming reeignation is tlie revival of an old story.
There is no doubt that at one time Socre-tary Noblo did intend to leave the cabinet. There is no doubt that Secretary Nolde would take this step at any time when a pathway, at once agreeable and honorable for his retirement, could be opened to him. It may be added that members of the cabinet folly expect and still expect Secretary Blaine's resignation to become an officially declared fact within a few montlis. The step, when it occurs, will be as much regretted in Washington as among Republicans everywhere. Solid Hill Delegations.

11. There was Intense, ex citement nud a horrible scone at Uie i recti-Hon of the anarchist at Xerea. The street. housetop and windows aUait the pWam front of the jail were packed with aopk and at every point of vantage, for the greatest excitement has prevailed among the lower vla ever since the anarch iut raid on Xeres ou Jan. 8 last, when the towo was held practically by the "reds" for aev- vral hours.
The four anarchist were exiMtttd sc rately. The iatfonn Uhh which the gar- rote was erected was wirrouudtd by a rough wiaalen rtiiling, iiisule of which was strong deLahmont of police and trvsijo, who hail no tronhkt in keeping the people baiic Uou Uie scaffold tlu'ro were four wwalen partitions, in each of which was placed chair liehlnd whUil was a stake. Attached to each stake there was a metallic collar whioh is put around the criminal's neck; behind Uw ixJlar is an iron screw whicii is turuetl until its point crushes iuto Uie spinal column, causing death. The name of the four anairhist executed were Busigui, Zarxm-kt, Ii brijano and Lr malii, Uie first named having Uen the ailer of a movement in refusing to leave bis cutl for the scaffold until compelled to do an. They presented a horribly frightened appearance as they were forced, trembling and deathly protesting and first blustering and then imploring mercy into Uieir respective partitions from which they could see Uie populace, police and but could not witness the death agony of their companions.
Zartuela was nearly too drunk to walk when he was forced toward the stake and kept on shouting: "Morewiuol More winel I am in nocent. I am innocent. But we will not act cowardly. We die for the social cause." A llorrlhla Spectacle. Busgni shouted: "We are inms'cnt.
Oh, my mother. My mother," and struggled des-iierately to escaiie being fonvd to approach the chairlike stake. So terribly did he struggle that it required the combined strength of five men to force him into the death seat, and even then they had much difficulty in getting his neck into the gar rote. Finally the executioner was two ful) minutes in turning the screw of tho iron o'hir powerfully enough to break the liecU- bone of the uufortuuute anarchist. The spectacle was a horrible one.
As the si Tew of the gnrrote entered the spine their heads iorwam, tue races turning purple and tongue protruding, This terrible scene worked the tieople into a state of rage and indignation terrible to behold men shouted and cursed at the authorities, women wept and moaned as they buried their heivls in their aprons and dresses, and several people, male and female, fainted outright; but there was no attempt made to attack the police or military, for the latter have taught the anarchists of Xerea a lesson which they are not likely to forget for many a long day. The other two condemned anarchists, Lcbrijano and Lamala, died more quietly, death apparently being instantaneous from the moineut of the first two or three turns of the screw were applied. AIL the exe cuted men wore either cobblers or book- muki The Murderous Outbreak. The outbreak, for taking part in which the men were garroted, broke out at Xeres, sixteen miles from Cadis. During the evening of Jan.
a largo body of anarchists, armed with scythes, old muskets, knives, pistols, marched in several detachments into Xeres from the surrounding country districts, shouting, "Viva la putting the town authorities for a time at complete defiance. The rough characters of the city (Xeres a imputation of about 40,0110 people) joined iiteuca with the anarchists and soon the whole city was in an uproar. Then, as if by previous arrangement, several bunds of anarchists met iu front of the local theater defying the authorities and assaulting aud robbing all citizens who refused to join them. One man was caught by the anarchists as he was leaving the theater and, because ho resisted the attempt mailo to rob him, tho rioters strangled him to death amid hideous ai-plause and laughter. Up to this time the authorities were panic stricken aud both tho police and the garrisons remained within their barracks.
This so encouraged the riotous anarchists that thejery of "Free the prisoners!" was raised, and a march upon the city prison was commenced, Wallowed In Wine. Arriving In front of tho jail the mob bo- gan a furious attack upon it with stones and beams, which they used against the gates. The air was made hideous with tho roaring of the mob, then made drunk with wine and brandy stolen from the stores. The gutters flowed with wine and men laid fiat down in the street and sucked it up as it was wantonly poured into tho streets by the rioters. The jail resisted thoir attack and they then tried to sack the town, but the municipal authorities collected together a lsxly of gendarmes, police and night watchmen and made an attack upon the anarchists.
Then followed a series of desperate battles in the streets in whioh a number of people were severely wounded and several wero killed, but the anarchists were routed, the leaders arrested, court martialed and condemned to die. TattUon' Libel Suit. Philadelphia, Feb. 11. The case of William F.
