Up until this time the republicans have successfully masked their plans for the presidential convention. The time is growing short, however, and the anxiety of the several candidates to get whatever advantage is to be obtained by an early personal effort is beginning to manifest itself. Conse quently developcments are noticeable which in some measure point out the convention probabilities. The first thing entirely apparent is that Sherman is not a candidate ex cept in his own nwnd. He predicated every hope and laid every prospect on his bloody-shirt resolutions, and they fell without response on the senate and the country. This ends John Sherman now and forever. Edmonds is likewise bowled out. His bibulosi ty has done him up completely. Bob Lincoln was the candidate of a senti ment, and this is not a sentimental year which disposes of him. The real candidates are Arthur and Logan. Arthur has just succeeded in putting his friend Johnny O'Brien at the head of the campaign committee in New York, and Barney Biglin, Steve French, Decoy Bliss and John ny Davonport are at work with might and main in his interest. As the fruit of their joint labors it is now stated positively that the New York delega tion will go solid for the Presidential Mulhooly. Logan has equally reliable assurance of the support of Illinois, but the marshals and postmasters of the south will assure the solid support of that seetion to the president, and Quay has given him the promise of a solid delegation from this state.—Pa triot, Feb. 12. Reoommending Harrity for Dele gate-at-Large to the National Convention. The Young Men's Democratic Asso ciation held a largely attended meeting last night, at which John Cadwalder presided.

WASHINGTON, I>. C., Feb.ll, 1884. Tne little dispute between ex-Speaker Keifer and Correspondent Boynton has not been settled yet, and the more it is stirred up the worse it gets for Keifer. Nobody here accepts his statement that Boynton made a corrupt proposal to him, as against the hitter's good character and reputation. Boynton has never been known to have any interest in jobs, and the money in this one Is on the Apposite sidefrom the one he is said to liaye expoused. A committee of the House will endeayer to find out wheth er Keifer has not added a contemptible falsefaccusatlon to his other meanness. Probably the most disgusted man, though, is the unfortunate McGar ralin, who owns the immortal claim which started the controversy, and who now sees it led off, sidetracked, as it were, on one inumerable branch issues that have marked its course through the departments, the courts and Congress for the pest iwenty years, ile has no concern with the Keifer- Boynton controversy, except in so far as Mr. Boynton tried to do him A slight kindness, as almost any one would who knows his story; and its agitation will probably put him further off than ever from getting a hearing on the mer its. "Mac" takes his long rambles a bout the streets by night and day, which seems his only method of work ing off surplus activity, more dejected ly than is his wont. It looks as though the rich New Idna Company would keep him out of his own for many years longer. The bloody shirt scheme of Senator Sherman and some of his Republican associates has] fallen so flat as to be hardly worth carrying on. The com mittee appointed will pretend to take testimony, which will be printed and circulated for campaign purposes; but it is doubtful now whether this sort of thing will do not more harm than good to their*own cause. Presidential booms are growing numerous now, new ones springing up every few days. The most astonishing thing is the apparent inroads made by Logan on thefAdmmi stration strength. It looks now as though there would be a nice fight be tween Logan and Arthur, which will probably defeat them both. Senator Don Cameron writes to a friend in Washington that lie will not take pos session of his seat in the Senate until after the question of Presidential can didacy has been settled. He says that he wants to be out of the way, because if he interested himself in behalf of any candidate the cry of bossism would be raised in the convention. It cannot be that Don is quietly working for the nomination himself. Such political modesty is unparalleled. There are two significant signs of the growth of Washington as a winter re soit for the wealthy. One of them is the "boom" in the furniture business, which is really werth a passing word. It is now undoubtedly the largest single trade here, outside of provisions. Every dealer has enlarged his place to its utmost limits, and new establish ments have been started, some of them in what have been heretofore private parlors, to satisfiy the lately developed craze for "art" furnishings, In the shape of screens, potteries, dados and the .like. Two of the largest halls, that of the Odd Fellows and Tall madge Hall, are given up to the display of furniture, which, though it l>ears a most unrighteous percentage of profit, has the drawback of lieing bulky and requiring great space. A large eating house on the Avenue went .into bank ruptcy; its rooms were immediately seized upon by the furnit uro establish ment next door. The roller-skating rink of the city has found it more prof itable to sell out to another dealer in household goods than to continue its propper fun ction—greatly to the grief of the young folks. A former hotel at the corner of Seveuth street and Penn sylvania avenue has long been devoted to the sale of furniture, and some firms have lesser warehouses and "branches" scattered about the city. PIIONO. Additional Local Matter. —Mr. Jacob Dutwiler, whose large farm is located along the turnpike a bout 1 mile south of Millheim. will make sale of his livestock, farming implements and household goods on Wednesday, March 19th, 1884. Ile'ex pects to move to Jewel county, Kansas, soon .after the sale. —Mr. John Kerstetter, Jr., still makes a business of doing special jobs at carpentry. John is really an expert at the business and has large experince, both in making out plans,specifications and drawings, as well as a practical workman. People who entrust their work into his hands can safely rely on having it done in best style at the low est prices. tf SPRING MILLS ITEMS. Mr. E. E. F. Munger,. State agent and Mr. I. B.

B.—At about six o'clock this evening as Frank Kroine, a puddler, employed in the mill of the Sunbury Nail Bar and Guide Iron Manufacturing Company here was con veying a ball of iion from the furnace to the "coffee mill" it dropped from the tongs on the lloor which was wet from the recent rains and exploded with a terrific report, burning him se riously, if not fatally, and setting fire tJ the [building. The fire department was called out promptly but* the em ployes extinguished it before much damage was done. A Revolutionary Widow. One of them a Resident of the Sixth Ward, this City. The widows of soldiers of the revolu tionary war are so scarce that any mention of theui attracts attention. Mrs. Elizabeth Bet?., who resides in Ilarrisburg, is probably the only person of that class in this section if not in Pennsylvania. She is eighty-three years of age. She states she was married to Peter Betz, on October 10,1823, and lived with him until September 10,1847, when he died, his age being ninety-nine years. Mrs. Betz is in the enjoyment of good health. She stales that she was twenty-five years of age when the old soldier took a fancy to her and they were married. Their life was a happy one except on the fourth of July. Mr. Betz, she says, could not get over his patriotic enthusiasm and whenever Independence day would arrive lie would go ou a spree to commemorate the occasion. For some time after his death she had a hard life to lead, but has for years past been drawing a State and United States pension. She received all bacK pay due her and at present is living comfortable. New Laws. Among the acts of assembly enacted at the last session of the legislature which are of interest to our people are the following: The several courts are authorized with the concurrence of the grand jury, to change the limits of any incorpor ated borough of this commonwealth. School directors are required upon the aplication of the parents of twenty or more pupils, to open a night school. Farms divided by county lines shall hereafter be atsessed in the county wherein the mansion is located. Memliers of borough council shall hereafter be elected for two years, each half retiring annually. Any policeman or constable, or any agent of the Pennsylvania society for the preventing of cruelty to animals shall, upon his own view or on the com plaint of others, make arrests for (he violation of the law to prevent cruelty to animals. The English sparrow may hereafter be lawfully killed at any time. The term of borough officers shall hereafter terminate on the first Monday of March each year. Scientific Prizes. It is a gratifying fact that more as tronomical discoveries, and those of more importance, have been made by- Americans during the past few years, than by all the rest in the world com bined. That this has been due, largely to the impetus given by competition for the honors and prizes awarded to discoverers cannot be denied, and in order that interest may be continued and sustained, I offer the following: Prize for 1884. Two hundred dollars for each and ev ery discovery of a new comet during the year, subject to the following con ditions: 1. It must be discovered in the United States or Canada, either by the naked eye or telescope, and it must be unexpected. 2. The discoverer must telegraph immediately to Dr. Lewis Swift, Dire ctor of the Warnei Observatory, Roche ster, N. Y., giving the exact time of discovery, the position and direction of moticn, with sntticient exactness, if possible, to enable at least one other observer to find it. 3. This intelligence must not be com municated loanyother party or parties, eother by letter, telegraph, or other wise, until such time as a telegraphic acknowledgment has been received by the|discoverer[from Dr. Swift. Great care should be observed regarding this condition, as it is essential to the prop er transmission of the discovery, to gether with the name of the discoverer, to the various parts>f the world,which will be immediately done by Dr. Swift. Three disinterested astronomers will Ibe selected to decide all disputed ques tions. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Feb. Bth, 1884. N. 11. WARNER. According to a recent ruling of tlu\ postmaster genera), any poison who writes for tickets or corresponds with a lottery company, relating to such business, violates the law and becomes , liable to a line of from one hundred to live hundred dollars. Valuahlk Mail Matter De stroyed.—Tho pouches containing the eastern mail matter for llunling don when thrown from the window of the fast, mail Saturday Feb, 2nd. struck a large snow bank in front of the depot and, falling back under the train, were caught by the wheels and carried a distance of 17 miles.
