THE Union county democratic com mittee will meet on Saturday, March Bth, to elect a delegate to the Allen town convention. THE Republican State Convention of Ohio will be held at Cleveland, A pril 23rd and 24th. WASHINGTON LETTER. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 23, 1884. Business is moving along quietly in Congress, but there are indications that rapid progress will be made here after. The committees of the House have been worked like beavers piling up and marking out business for con sideration on the floor and when the reports begin to come in there will be lively work. President-making is the ehief business of interest outside of Congress, and on the Republican side a greet deal of anxious attention is be ing given to the contest now going oa in the State of New York over the selection of delegates. The friends of Mr. Arthur are straining every nerve to capture a majority of the del egation and hope by that means to secure the solid vote of the State for the man who John Sherman, when Secretajy of tbe Treasury, said was not worthy to be entrusted with th£ office of collector of the port of New York. But they have found a .treat deal of strong opposition which devel ops more and more every day. The tools and methods relied upon by Ar thur to secure the State for him are not satisfactory to the better ele ments of the party. 1 hey belong purely to the lowest machine workers and tactics. The strongest point made bv the President's friends in his fa vor is that lie has done nothing to ot fend anybody; and it is true that a large quantity of empty champagne bottles are the sole monuments of Mr. Arthur's official career. He don't even till vaneaneies in office when they oc cur. least the unsuccessful applicants should be against him.but holds them open to promise and trade on for del egates. There are many vacancies which have been accumulating for several months and old politicians are beginning to remark that the President is overdoing the thing and that it will tinallv do him more hurt than good. In this connection 1 may state that Mr. Springer's proposition for an a mendment to the Ponstitdtiou,making the Presidential term six years, and and rendering the President ineligible to reelection for the next succeeding term, is received with great favor. It provides for a direct vote for Presi dent in each State, and abolishes the eleetorial college. Kaeh State shall have a number of votes equal to the number of its Representatives and Senators in Congress, to be given to each candidate in proportion to the to tal vote cast for each. The term of Representatives in Congress is fixed at three years, and Congress shall meet each year on the first Wednesday in January, the first session to convene in the January succeeding the Novem ber election. There are many consider ations to recommend these changes, not the least of which would be rais ing the Presidential office and admini stration to something above a schem ing machine for the succession. Some idea of the danger we are ap proaching through the destruction of our forests may be gathered from the facts, reported by one of the fir.-d lum ber stntisticans now living, that the entire stock of standing white pine in the United States does not exceed 80, 000.000,000 feet, which includes the small and inferior trees which used to IK* thought not worth cutting, and 10, 000,000,000 feet out of these 80.0(H), 000,000 are cut every year, with the demand steadily increasing. The an nual value of the product of our mills as it falls from the saw is $300,000, 000, of which white-pine is the chief item. At the lumber-yard from which it is obtained by the customer, the worth of this annual product is 50 per cent more, or $450,000,000. To re place this from other countries, which, by the way, is an impossibility,would require all the tonnage of the world for its transportation, and it would then cost in the yard more than twice what it does now. Here then, we have an annual deficit of $1,000,000, 000, to say nothing of the loss from the crippling of manufacturers depen ding on working wood, and the de- rangement of the water supply. In Michigan to day, good standing pine bought of the United States Govern ment for $250 per acre, is valued at S2OO per acre, and yet tho remorse less .slaughter of our remnant of pine timber goes on at increasing speed; and the cut of last year was the great est ever known One out of the eight year's supply is thus entirely taken a way, and the end is therefore close at hand unless we begin to economize. These are cold facts to which Con gress should promptly apply remedial legislation. PHONO. Miscellaneous. The Edgar Thompson steel mill, near Pittsburg, made 709 tons of rails in 24 hours recently. Agents of the United Statet fish com mission have just deposited 3,000.090 white fish in Lake Erie at Erie. The total production of coal in the lower Luzerne and Carbon district (hir ing 1883 was 5.060,707 tons, an increase over the previous year of 306,270 tons. Jack Kehoe, while in jail awaiting trial and execution, shaved a block of coal into the shape and appearance of a Bible. The relic of the King Moliie is now in possession of a Reading in in. All the mines oelonging to the Sus quehanna Coal Company resumed work at Nanticoke last Monday .and ten hours will constitute a day's work in stead of nine as heretofore. The min ers and laborers rejoice in consequence. It is sail the T. C. Henry, once known as the Kansas Wheat King, has made a million and a half of dollars since going to Colorado, and that his prospects are good to b j come the gov ernor of that state. A terrible cyclone pg-sed through Cobabo Valley, Alabama, and several counties in Georgia, Soutli Carolina and North Carolina, on the 19 Ji, doing immense damage. About 200 people were killed, sud pymeroua buildings demolished.* IT is said that the first thing inquir ed for by the people imprisoned by the western Hoods when the relief boats ar rived was vews. They could wait for food and clothing, but their appetite for the latest news had to be appeased at once. Sometime ago John Scott, of Seotts ville, Chester county, bought at public sale an old desk, in which lie discovered a secret drawer containing la() old pen nies. ()m bore the date 1793 and (ion oral Knowden,of the Mint, has declared the coin to bo worth SIOO. The hoard of army and navy officers appointed to examine the question of the establishment of gun factories in this country report that two such bum dries should be established, and that $1,800,000 should be appropriated by ('ongress. Tho Snow-Bound Train. OTTAWA, March •*.— Archer Raker, general manager of the Canada Pacific railway, who was on the snow-hound train at Rell's Corners from Thursday night until Saturday afternoon, states that 000 men are engaged in clearing a way the snow from the impriswiied train. It is impossible tor the passen gers to leave the train, being upwards of live feet of snow surrounding it. An Aged Man's Terrible Death. ASTON, March 3. —James Rovle.one of the first employes of the Lehigh Val ley railroad shops in South Easton, was knocked down and crushed to death under the wheels ot a locomotive at the works this morning, lie was nearly seventy years old, and mt his death by stepping on an unprotected crossing in front of a locomotive that was being backed from the round house. Four deaths occurred in his family dur ing the last four years, and his wife and children are left to mourn him. A week ago lie recovered from a long spell of sickness. Horrible Accident at a Railroad Ci ossing. WIR.K F.SHATIIK, March J.— Two men named Shear and Bnniiier. residing in Upper Lehigh, while crossing the tracks of the L. V. It. It. at Whte House this evening were struck ly the midnight express and hurled a distance of forty or fifty feet. Shear was in stantly killed, being horribly mangled. Brumicr was fatally injured, his skull being fractured. The two horses at tached to their vehicle were killed and the carriage smashed into splinters. ! The engineer says lie did not see the men til! he was almost on them. A Fortune that Came too Late. i WHEELING, W. Yn., Feb. 29. , Charles Hale, for the past ten years an inmate of the Jefferson county, Ohio, poorlionse, on Saturday recei\ed noti fication from a New Haven, Conn., legel linn that through the'dealli of a brother, a large real estate owner in ! New Ilaven, he had fallen heir to $50,- • 000. Hale, who is now a white-hain d ; man of 70, and decrepit in body, was a i prosperous merchant in (,'iiiciuiiuti, but j whiskey and gambling wrought his ruin, lie says the money comes too late, and prefers to end his days in the infirmary. Hale las several wealthy children in various parts of Ohio. THE SLATE INDUSTRY of ladiigli and Northampton counties is becoming an interest of no mean proportion.-. The growing scarcity ol timber suitable for shingles and the steadily increasing ten dengv to the use of brick and stone for buildings, both in city and count!y, have given the roofing-slate business a regular boom during the past few years. As Pennsylvania possesses the best slate quarries in the United States a I g.m was tei deied aid. The accident is said to ituve been one of the most exciting, that has taken place in that section for years, as few who witnessed it expected to see either of the ybnng men strvtd.
