For Jury Cbmmiiftioner— JOHN ROAN, Fbr Coroner—Dr. H. K. HOY. "We denounce, as in flagrant vio lation of the constitution, the attempt to consolidate the South Pennsylvania and Beech Greek railroads with the Pennsylvania railroad company,and toe heartily approve the proceeding of the commomoealth, through the governor and attorney general,to pro tect and preserve the rights of the people under the constitution." PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM. ——— PHILADELPHIA'S democracy is on right road—the road to success in the coming election. All their candidates for the new offices arc good and solid reform candidates. AMONG the many fcealthy changes introduced inWashington under Clev eland's administration is the late decis ion of the attorney general prohibiting the attachment of salaries of govern ment officials for debts. It is a well known fact that many employes with good salaries were unable to get through without running into debt. Advancements of money by'sbylockt,' who reap 10 per cent interest month ly on these loans, are a very common thing, and they were used to making themselves sate by attaching the sal aries of the embarrassed officials. By the decision of the attorney general this means of securing their interests is cut off and their willingness to ac comodate the officials with loans will decrease wonderfully. On the other side it will compel government em ployes to exercise econemy and steer clear of the "shylocks." " We favor ike enforcement of the con stitution of Pennsylvania in its every ar ticle and section, and especially demand the regulation by law,in accordance there iwfA, of the carrying corporations of the state, the equalization of the tax laws, the appropriation of public moneys to public use only, an honest management of the state treasury and rigid enforcement of the laws governing it." — PENNSYLVA NIA DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. From the Philadelphia Telegraph, Ind. Rep. The Independent movement in Philadelphia will, it is believed, be strongly supported, but its success wifl depend upon the support it re ceives outside this city. The names thns far signed to the agreement of opposition to Colonel Quay's candida cy are those of well-kiown citizens largely interested in the most import ant business enterprises. There is not a single politician among them, but, without a single exception, they are men of great earnestness of purpose, energetic and public-spirited, and, with but rare exceptions they have been prominently concerned in the work of the Committee of One Hun dred, and have in that and other re form movements acquired a great deal of the sort of experience which will help to make their organized opposi tion both formidable and dangerous. They are confident that the movement they have inaugurated will be partici pated in by a very large number of our business men whose influence is far-reaching and capable of controling many votes. If they should make throughout the state as active and ag gressive a campaign as they have fre quently made here, the old machine may succeed, but to do so it will have a strain put upon it which will make it creak again. Why the Democrats are Confident. From the Philadelphia Record, Ind. The lack of Republican interest in the Republican campaign in this state cannot fail to impress the most care less observer. There is good reason for it. Tiie bosses and the boys who heretofore have looked forward to a sometime opportunity to share in the spoils of federal office hHve had the door shut in their faces. They now work without heart because they work with out hope. The ablest and most influ ential Republican newspapers were hamstrung by the nomination made by the Republican state convention. They canuot support the ticket prepared for them without committing moral hari kari, and as a consequence the canvass is left to drift along with no competent hand to keep it off the rocks or from sticking in the mud. The more am bitious young Republicans perceive that the movement upon the state treasury is only a preliminary step to ward more substantial rewards, involv ing moreover a continuance of power in the bands of leaders entirely mercen ary aud unscrupulous, and offering no particular inducement to them. The I "kickers" who put the value of honest government above partisanship ask themselves what is to he gained by a Republican victory this year, when the bosses they have aided in putting down are again at the front seeking to lie trusted with important public func tions. And so it is, the whole Repub lican organization is suffering with an attack of the megrims. The quiet, ap athetic monotony of iudifference has finally been disturbed by the organiza tion of Independent Republicans to op pose the nominee for state treasurer. He is the incarnation in politics of all that the Independents detest. lie is a believer in machine politics and boss methods. lie has ocen part and parcel of all .the trickery and jobbery that have pervaded the administration of state affairs since he cut his political eye-teeth. To elect him is to undo the work of reform and to put back in pow er the class of politicians who, like Fal staff, consider it rather a proper thing to rob the public exchequer. There is a sound and solid Republi can majority in Pennsylvania which will be made sounder and solider for the important contest of next year if it is not handicapped by an unfortunate victory this year. The people of the state want proper railroad legislation, and they are heartily tired of the sys tem of finance which permits the use of the public money for the promotion of partisan schemes. To fly in the face of this desire by the election of a lobbyist of the railroad companies and a dispen er of doubtful political patronage is a daring experiment with the public pa tience. The Independent Republicans show their independence to advantage when they refuse to have any hand in it. We are by no means sure that the Blaine majority can be all whittled a way, but such things have happened. Mr. Cleveland had nearly 200,000 ma jority for Governor of New York and only 1,200 for president. Miscellaneous News. Reading is the leading hat centre of the United States, and of the 23 estab lishments in this State 15 are located in Reading and vicinity, manufacturing 350,000 hats annually. The daily ca pacity of thesis factories is about 1,500 dozen each day. A Mechanics' Home is about to be established in Philadelphia. Provision for it w T as made nearly thirty years ago by Mr. George Hayes, a jeweler, who left a sum of money for the purpose of founding a retreat and home for dis abled or aged and infirm American mechanics. Rifled Registered Letters. BROOKVILLE, Pa., Oct. 4.—lt. O. Moorhead, Postmaster at Brockway yille, this county, was arrested yes terday charged with rifling registered letters,and has admitted his guilt* He belongs to one of the best families in the county, and his arrest caused quite a sensation. A Seminary's Centennial. BETHLEHEM, Pa., Oct. 2.—The cen tennial anniversary of the Moravian Seminary for young ladies, the oldest institution of its kind in the country, was celebrated here to-day. The at tendance of former pupils and their friends was very large, many coming from a great distance. The exercises were held in the Moravian Church this afternoon. Addresses were delivered by Rt. Rev. Edmund De Schweinilz, S. T. D., and Hon. S. F. Phillips, ex-So licitor General of the United States, and a historical paper was read by liev. Albert Loenter. This evening a reun ion of the Alumni and their friends took place in the chapel of the school. The Seminary was elaborately decorat ed and many happy incidents occurred during the day. Fearful Explosion. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2.—Shortly af ter 3 o'clock this morning a battery of boilers at the Solar Iron Works of Clarke & Co., Thirty-sixth street, ex ploded with disastrous effect. The night turn had just been relieved by the day force when the explosion occurred, and that portion of the works in the vi cinity of the boilers was filled with a cloud of steam. Through the dense mist came shrieks and groans, which told the employes beyond the reach of danger that a frightful calamity had overtaken a number of their fellow workmen. As soon as the steam clear ed away a rush was made for the spot where the explosion occuried, when it was ascertained that the mud drum of the boilers had exploded and that the escaping steam had scalded 17 men. Three of these victims are dead and five more are believed to be fatally in jured. The Last of the Italians. HUNTINGDON, Oct. s.—The last of the Italian and Hungarian laborers have been driyen from employment at the furnaces and mines at Saxton and have left the place. The operators were well satisfied to get rid of these foreigners, especially as American workmen, from whom there was great pressure for their discharge, offered themselves on advan tageous terms. The employers of the recent Kemble Coal and Iron Company [ at Riddlesburg, which failed so disast rously last j T ear, have since been idle, and could scarcely endure to see Europ eans performing labor in a neighboring town that they thought should be given to themselves. A strong prejudice was the result, which exhibited itself in some persecution of and occasional violence towards the foreigners, and which, with the willingness of the em ployers to make a change, led to the filling of the places of all of them with American operators. . 1 Crossing Tragedies. St Five Young Lives Crushed Out by Two Torriblo Accidents. Special l< tlio Ifnrrlshiirg Patriot. CiiAMiiKitsHUßO, Oct. I.— An acci dent, i>eculiarly sad in its character, happened near this place about seven o'clock this morning. Mr. 1). K, Ap penzellar, a member of the firm of J. ilade*& Co., the leading dry goods firm of this town, was taking his daily morning ride in a trotting buggy, ac companied by two of his sons. A few feet beyond a crossing of I lie Baltimore and Cumlieiinnd Valley Railroad, just outshle the borough limits,the horse he was driving stopped and could not ho urged forward. A loud whistle signall ed the approach of a train and Mr. Ap penzellar jumped from the buggy and took the horse by the head. As the train dashed around a curve a short distance away tlio animal backed and the buggy, in which the two boys were sitting, was pushed on the track. Bo fore the horse could be moved from his position the engine had struck tlio bug gy and tlio boys were tossed upon tlio pilot . The youngest was struck upon the back of his heart and his head crushed, death resulting instantly. The other was thrown upon tlio track, and in addition to a deep gasli cut in his head one of his feet was cut off by the wheels. He is still living but his limb was amputated this afternoon. To morrow morning the inquest will be held. The responsibility for the acci dent can be attributed to no one. The engineer after rounding tlio enrve ap plied the air brakes and resorted to ev ery means in his power to stop tlio train, but the distance was too short. No blame is attached to him. A Boy and His Sisters Fatally Injured. HARTFORD, Conn., Oct. I.— At 3.30 o'clock this morning a,train on the New York and New Eng'and Railroad, from Waterbury to Hartford, struck an omnibus in New Britain at the Black Rock grade crossing. It was oc cupied by children on their way to school. Charles Dyson, aged nineteen years, the driver of the omnibus, and his sis ters Minnie and Lottie, aged thirteen and fifteen years respectively, were so badly injured that one has since died, and the other will probably die. They were the children ot the owner of the omnibus. The engineer says that the horses became unmanageable and ran upon the track in front of the locomo tive. The second sister died soon after the accident, and the boy will probably live only a few hours. A Fast Young Man Abstracts S2OOO From the Renovo Postoffloe. RENOVO, Pa , Oct. 4.— Quite a sen sation was created yesterday afternoon, growing out of a heayy defalcation in the post-office. It involves a popular aud prominent young man, married ou iy a few days ago. Eyery possible ef fort has been made to withhold the par ticulars from the public, and local pa pers have been induced not to publish the facts. The disclosures connected with the defalcation were whispered about since Tuesday, but it was difti cult to determine anj thing definitely. It is now discovered that the shortage was in the accounts of tiie postmaster to the extent of over $2,000, and the evidence goes to show that Decauter Wells, the chief clerk and son of the postmaster,is responsible for thedelicit. The abstraction of moneys has been in progress for a year or more, but by clever manipulation of the accouuts Wells managed to keep his father in ignorance of the deficit until C. W. Speeee, Agent of the Post-office De partment from Washington, popped in on him with a statement of the ollice shortage. The postmaster never sus pected any crookedness in his office. The Goyernment Agent at once served notice of the deficit upon the bonds men, William Stout, Mather Dean, Joseph Whitby and John Ward,each of whom was required to pay $">00. The money order business of the of fice has lieen large, and it is stated that young Wells' deficit arose by withhold ing the money received through that source and appropriating it to his pri vate use. Wells i 3 about 26 years of age,and about a week ago was married. He has always inclined to besomething of a 4 *sport," and has the reputation of a reckless betting man. Rumor has it that he had SSOO or more placed on the loosing side of the last national elec tion. The deepest sympathy is express ed for his wife and father. Young Wells will be prosecuted and his father removed.
