It was the first time they had met for many months. Kakly on Friday morning a bomb ex ploded in the ancient Mattel Palace, the residence of the United States Minister Porter in Home. It did hut slight dam age, and it is suiioscd that the motive for causing the explosion was to gratify u dire for vengeance uion the propri etor of the Palace. In connection with the recent bill le fore Congress providing for automatic couplers for freight cars, it is interesting to note that .over 3.000 patents for sucn devices have U-en granted and that a large number of applicants are on file in the Patent Office awaiting the de cision of the examiner The steamship Sarnia w hich was re ported disabled at sea and had been long overdue, arrived in the harlwjr at Hali fax unaided early on Sunday. She had 500 passengers aloard and much appre hension had Ucn felt regarding tier Steamers and tugs had leen searching for her for several days past. Carlyi.eW. Harkls. a young medical student, who poisoned his school girl wife in New York city two years ago, itfter having exhausted every possible means to escae the penalty for the murder, was finally resentenced to b electrocuted by Recorder Smy the, Mon- iav mnrniiit. Interest in the ease has been phenomenal. The Hotel Waldorf, Fifth avenue and Thirty-third street, New York, was opened on Tuesday night of last week in the presence of fifteen hundred ersons. The great building cost three million dollars. One of the bed chambers with its decorations and furnishing cost $:3.0H. It is to be eonlutil, as far as possible, on the Knglish Continental system. A I'HYfiriAN in Washington estimates that over 10-000 persons in that city are suffering w ith colds ami other maladies produced by exposure on inauguration daj, Taking the country over, the list would I- swollen to tenfold that numU-r. If there should le a recurrence of the grip epidemic it is feared that it would find plenty of congenial soil prepared for it by the exjierience of March 4. The emancipation of married women in tli is state is nearly complete. Judge Arnold decides that a married woman who gave a note in payment of her bus band's debts is responsible therefor. Married women were at one time under an actual, as well as legal, disability to make contracts. The legislature has been gradually extending their privileges as well their legal responsibility, until now they are almost on the same plane as married men, The Postmaster at Jackson, Mich., is in a Uandary regarding a missive that was recently received at his mstoHict1. A resident of that town write a message on the back of a 1-cent Columbian Stamp and caused it to be mailed. The letter reached the iostotlice and the post master is greatly perplexed, as, although a message can le forwarded on a 1-cent ostal card, he does not think it lawful for a letter to be sent through the mails written on the btck of a 1-cent stamp. The late Harrison Administration seemed anxious to annex Hawaii Ufore more than one side of the question could even le partially heard. The Cleveland administration seems lent uKn learn ing the real facts of the case Ufore tak ing any action upon it. This is one very clearly marked difference between the two, which might be noted by those facetious Republican journals which have been informing their readers that Clevehnd and Crcsham are only Repub licans in disguise. Monday the President sent the follow ing nominations to the Senate: James j. r.usus, oi iiuisiana, .Minister to France; Theo ore Runyan, of New Jer sey, Minister to Germany ; John K. His ley, of New York, Ministerto Denmark; James (I. Jenkins, of Wisconsin, to U ircuit Judge of the Seventh District. vice Judge (In-sham, resigned; Wade Hampton, of Siitth Carolina, to U Commissioner of Railroads. A number of minor nominations were also sent to the Senate. GoVkrxok Pattisov has approved the bill introduced by Representative Kun kel, amending the pharmacy law go as to compel all persons intending to en gage in the practice of pharmacy to be first examined by the state pharmaceuti cal Uiard. Heretofore physicians were allowed to practice pharmacy without having passed an exatniuation. The bill was endorsed by the state pharma ceutical Uiard and is the first act passe.! by the present legislature to receive the indorsement of the Governor. The Harrisburg corresondent of the Pittsburg Tiunn outlines a promised amendment to the Constitution, about to lie presented to the Legislature, pro viding for a reduction in the numU-r of memU rs of the House. It fixes the ha hisof representation at one memUr for -ch county, with one additional iiihii U'r lor each 0, M of population. This would reduce the memU-rship from the present numUr of I'lbl toabout 10. Of the eighty-four to he dropped Philadel phia would lose eighteen, leaving her representation twenty-one, while AHe- gheny, wnich now had iiteeu, would be cut down to ten. The Hasting's Tribune, of hit week has the folowing editoral in relatioo to I . .. Tl,. our coming prim try eiecuon. o- iVmocnitie party in this county is again approaching its annual task of selecting candidates for county otl'u-es. I'nder pres ent conditions, and unless prompt action is taken, these nominations will have to le made by the Crawford county system, and all the disadvantages of an ill l-al-ani-.il and iniudicioiis ticket incurred in the tight at the polls next fall. It is not necessary to enter into a long explana tion of the evils of the present system. Its enormous cost to candidates, whom it eom-!s to virtually make two canvas ses, the fact that it renders the selection of a ticket fair to all elements and local ities a matter of chance; together with its record as a destroyer of majorities of every party and in every place by which it lias leen tried, have led all who are interested in jarty success to unani mously condemn it, and wish for some method by which it can avoided at our coming primaries. The Tnlnnif would suggest that the County Chairman order a seeial election to discover the will of the people on this point, and ap point a date for the same in such time that the sukstituted method of making 1 . , nominations can l used in the arrange ment of our next ticket. The cost of such an election would le cheerfully de frayed by a popular subscription from the leading Democrats of each district, whose interest in the welfare of the par ty leads them to desire the aUilition of the Crawford county system? If not, w ill someone suggest a Inter plan" The road bill as arranged by the Ag ricultural Delegation is now well on its way in U.th branches of the legisla ture. In the senate on Tuesday Mr. P.rown, of Westmoreland had the changes placed in the bill originally in troduced by him, and it went through third reading with practically no opposi tion. It w ill lie called up for final p is sage us soon as there is good attendance of Senators. In the House theamended bill was reported from the Committee and w ill probably come up on the second reading Wednesday. The measure a it now stands provides for a county sujiervisor to W- elected next NovcmU r for a term of thoe ears He must have a epecial knowleclg - of road making and U? a surveyor or civi; engineer. here mere lsaiuuiny sin veyor he may also net as supervisor. His compensation will U- fixed by the township supervisors, w ho are to lie elected in February. The coiintv and township siiervisors are to meet next March and declare what shall le consid ered as public highways. The payment of employees is to be fixed by the town ship supervisors and taxpayers are to be given the preference. Revenue is to be provided by a levy of eight mills on property now subject to taxation, and a tax of one dollar upon each male person. employers to be liable for the payment of the assessments of aliens. A state appropriation of $3,000,000 b proposed for the next two years. The advocate: of the measure are sanguine that it will liecome a law in its present shape. We take from the St. Louis tilulf " (ternt this summary of the system to be used under the new administration: 'Postmaster-General Pissell is making up a list of oo; advisers who will virtu ally dictate the Post Otlice appointments There is to be one adviser for each of the ;!."
