GOYXRNOR Beaver seems to be
aoahnainf in his determination not
to oall an aztra session for the redemp
tion of the lost revenue bilL It has
boss pointed out to him that a failure
. to call the legislature will injure the
Republican party iu the coming state
•lection, ia as much as it would put
that party in a very bad light That
ligament is enough to soften the
Governor and the indications now are
that he will call a special session in
fcll The Chief Executive has the
sueeees of hie party more at heart
than the passage of the law which
wonld institute fair and equal tax
ation.
Qum Victoria's jnblilee which was
onkbrsteii in London on Tuesday is
reported to have been the most en
thusiastic end imposing occasion that
ever ooeurred in Englands* history.
The grand pageant which included all
tha royalty of England and neighbor
ing powers, wound its way from Buck
inghmi palace to Westminster abbey,
emidst a danav throng of cheering
people, and the patriotic cry of "God
mve the Queen" ran along the whole
route. The gatherings which took place
in several of the cities of the United
States ia hooor of the Queen's jubilee
are likewise reported as very interest
ing and enthusiastic.
TJXZ everything else the New York
World balloon which started at St.
Louis on Friday afternoon intending
to sail across the country to the Atlan
tic ocean, had its upa and downs, the
latter being the cause of an abrupt in
terruption of its voyage. It came
down at Centralis. Illinois, after a
three hours' trip, and messages from
that point stated that the going ont of
the gas accounts for its rapid descent.
At 5.80 p. RL, an hour after its ascent
the had attained a height of
10,000 feet above the surface of the
earth, but ft had to come down and
the trip was a fiule. Arrangements
are being made for another sail.
AND new some of the papers get
off a story on Mrs. President Cleve
land aad spilt milk. They say she
and several lady companions were
taking a stroll over the fields near the
Adirondack! when they spied a wo
man in the net of milking a cow.
Mrs Cleveland remarked in a sportive
way that she belieyed she could do
that womanb work,; whereupon some
of the ladies urged her to try it Sbe
did, but put the stool on the wrong
aids of the cow and the beast showed
her disapproval of inexperienced bands
. by giying the pail half foil of milk a
kick, spilling the contents all over
Mrs. Cleveland's drees. The story is
told and then is no use crying over
spilt milk.
THR fond for the big Fourth of July
celebration in Philadelphia is ap
proaching |6OOO and the Times calls
it good but wants several thousand
more. Everything points to a grand
time, the only question which is of
vital importance to a regular old-tasb
ioned Fourth of July in the city of
brotherly love and which needs to be
settled yet, is whether or not tbey
may have fireworks. Mayor Fitter in
enforcing the law as it now stands
dare uot allow pyrotechnies within
the bounds of the city. The only way
out of the difficulty is a special per
missioa by the city council to have
the fire works on Girard Avenne
Bridge, and a proposition for such
permission is now pending before that
body.
"MAY God palsy the hand that
wrote the order, may God palsy the
brain that conceived it, and may God
palsy the tongue that dictated it"
These are the words spoken by a sol
dierly crank by tbe name of Fairchild,
who ranked as a general in the late
war. President Cleveland was alleged
to have ordered the return of the Con
federate battle flags to the southern
states and the sentences quoted above
were meant directly for tbe President
It would be a very safe plan to pat
■teu and soldiers like Fairchild, For
•hsr, and frarahoa into straight jack
eta, for foar that they might take it in
to their bet heads to imitate Guiteau.
Regarding the disposition of the
flaga captured by the union forces
during the late war and now stored
away in the attic of the war depart
ment building at Washington. Pres
ident Cleveland on last Thursday sent
the following letter to tbo secretary of
war:
I have to-day considered with more care
than when the subject was orally prewntod
to me the notion of your do|Kirtmeiit direct
ing letters to addre*!*od to the governors
ot all the states ottering to return,if desired,
to the loyal states, the union Hags raptured
during the war of the reltollion hy the con
federate fonvs and afterwards recovered by
the government tnstps and to the eonfisl
erate slates the Hags raptured by the uniou
fore**, all of which, for many years have
been packed in boxes and stored in the eel
lar and attic of the war department. 1 am
of the opinion tliat the return of the Hags in
the manner thus couteiuplated is not au
thorised by the existing law. nor justified
as au executive act, 1 request, therefore,
that 110 further steps be taken iu the mat
ter except to examine and Inventory these
Hags and adopt proper measures for their
preservation. Any direction as to the final
dis|sstitiou of them should originate with
congress. Yours truly,
GUOVKK CUVKUMU.
A RICBNT act of Assembly radical
ly altera the procedure in civil suits iu
this State, and the Philadelphia Sun
day Times iu one of its editorials ex
plains the practical results which will
follow the change and which every
business man should understand. "The
act altolishcs the distinction between what
are technically called actions of assumiMit,
debt, 'covenant, trespass, trover ami ease,
and substitutes in their place hut two forms
of action, assumpsit, including the first
three, and covering all suits hastsl upon a
contract of any kind ; and rrrxjxitt, includ
ing the reui&iniug three, and coveriug all
suits based upon a wrong doue. It docs a
way with sjxvial pleading: allows the plaiu
tifl'tofile a statement of his claim, in lieu
of a narr, and requires the defendant to file
an afiidavit of defense iu every action of
assumpsit.
But what concerns business men most is
to know, first, that by the plaiutifi"* tiling
and serving upon the d-. >udaut, at least
fifteen days before the return day, a copy of
the statement of his claim, he can, if there
be no defense, obtain judgement on the re
turn day, or much more speedily than is
possible under the old practice ; and, sec
ond, that when a writ in an action of
assumpsit is served upon a defendant, in- ;
stead of haviug eight days after the return i
day in which to file his appearance, ami
three weeks in which to file his afiidavit of |
defense, he must now file it on or before the !
return day, if he has been served with a
oopy of the plaintiff's statement fifteen days
before the return day, and in any event, he
must file such afiidavit within fifteen days
after notice of the filing of the plaintiff"s
statement. If he fail to do so, the plaintiff'
can immediately obtain judgement against
him. Defendants have grown so accustomed
to the more tardy methods of the old system
that they will do well to make a note of
this radical change, or, tailing to do so,they
will be likely tofindsnap-judgeuieuts taken
against them.
The act Is full of oversights and crudities
which must be corrected in time, ami it
will cause much inconvenience and litiga
tion until it becomes generally understood ;
but it is a step in the right direction and is
calculated to facilitate the collection of lion- 1
est elaims and to simplify the procedure in
all civil cases.
Governor Beaver to Call a Special
Session in the Fall.
HARRISBCRO, June 19.—Although Gov
ernor Beaver, Attorney General Kirkpat
rick and Secretary of the Commonwealth
Stone have taken particular pains to point
out the objectionable features in the
swamped revenue bill as a justification for
the refusal of the Chief Executive to call a
special session of the Legislature, there are
here and there indications that the admin
istration is weakening and that the de
mauds for an extra session will be reflect
ed. Governor Beaver would rather wait
until next winter, but the prospective can
didates on the Republican ticket for State
Treasurer and Supreme Court Judge are
anxious that the meeting be held before the
election, fearing that the promise to call an
extra session to pass a revenue bill after the
election would not satisfy the j>eople ami
imperil the chances of Republican success.
The Republican candidate for State Treas
urer will undoubtedly be Captain William
B. Hart, who painfully remembers his de
feat in 1877, and consequently is worried
over the plight the Republican party has
been placed in by the fate of the revenue
bilL
The calling of an extra session to extricate
the party from its difficulty would meet
Captain .Hart's hearty indorsement, as he
believes that such a movement would ren
der certain the success of the Republican
ticket. He recognizes the force of the argu
ment which the Democrats would make
that the Republicans had succumbed to the
corporations, and that in doing so the var
ious oounties had been required to pay in
taxes at least 11,000,000 a year, of which
they would have lieen relieved had the rev
enue bill become a law. In deference to
his views and those of the party at large
the Governor will probably call the mem
bers together in the fall.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular correspondent)
WASHINGTON. June 'JO, 1887.
In religious circles last Sunday the at
traction was the Rev. Sam Small, the Geor
gia evangelist, who preached most effective
ly, and in a style picturesquely original, to
two immense congregations ; hundreds
standing, and hundreds l>eing turned away.
Mr. Small's witty sallies drew forth invol
untarily applause and recalled the sayings
of the noted character he formerly portray
ed ; "Old Si," of the "Atlantia Constitu
tion." , , ,
The burst of martial feeling over the inci
dent of the Confederate battle-Hags is most
unfortunate, and it appears was unnecessar
ily magnified,perhaps for political purposes,
as is evinced by Mr. Sherman's hitter re
marks on the subject. I think the great re
ftublic of modern times might well follow
n that respect, the example of the
Kat republic of ancient times, mighty
me, who decreed no triumphs to Generals
for victories won over their own fellow citi
zens, and permitted no monuments to be
built to perpetuate the unhappy memories
of civil wars. I believe it would be best
for the re-united republic to gather all of
our battle-Hags, both Federate and Confed
erate, and make a big bonfire of them, to the
tune of the "Star Spangled Banner" and
"Dixie," played by the Boys in Blue and
the Boys iu Gray in front of the White
House. Such generous, magnanimous
deeds would be applauded by enthusiastic
thousands and be the pyre or all sectional
animosities, for "Peace hath her victories
not less renowned than war."
At last, Speaker Carlisle has yielded to
the pressure upon him of Congressmen and
business men and openly announces himself
in favor of an extra session of Congress.
But, it is extremely doubtful whether the
President deems the financial situation of
the country warranting a measure so extra
nrdiuary. He has firmly oppoMcd an extra
t'szion Niii,",' the question was first agitated,
ami ho is a man who vorv sohloui eliangos
ilia I**ll ion. Therefore,! think there will
ls> no extra session. Another view of the
matter is, that it would afford the ltcpuhll
cans a much oovotad opportunity to make
imlitioal capital, and of course their leaders
are in the affirmative.
The colored iwoplc of Washington were
holh surprised and delight,si tin, other
night hy ''resident Cleveland attending the
t'omnienoement of their High School ami
' distributing the diplomas. Hy such little
courhwics the President has made himself
iutuiouHoly jstpular with our colored citi
zens.

HE RODE THE GCAT ALL RIGHT.
LANCASTER, Pa., June 20.—Alder
man Spurrier will have a novel assault
and battery case to dispose of on
Thursday, July 7. The prosecutor
is a barber named Scheafferaud tbe de
fendants are H. Wells Buser, Herman
Dasher, John Ceckard and Harry Wol
bauer, of Hummelstown, Dauphin
county. It appears that tbe defendants
visited this city a few days ago for the
puipose of instituting a council of the
Junior Order of American Mechanics,
and the prosecutor was one of the
members initiated. His grievance is
that in the initiation he was roughly
handled and struck several times with
a paddle. In addition to being struck
it is alleged that he was so badly seated
that tbe services of a physician were
required. The accused were arrested
on Saturday and gave bail for a hearing
at the time above noted. The cese will
attract a great deal of attention.
Great Damage In Lebanon.
LEBANON, Pa., June 20.—A terrible
storm of raiu aud hail passed over this
county last evening, and reports re
ceived tiiis morning from different
sections show that great damage was
done to the crops. The storm was es
especially severe along the line of the
Lebanon Valley Railroad between
Richland and Myerstown. At the
former place the hailstones measured
an incn and a half in diameter, and in
the vicinity of Mjerstown tiets were
uprooted, grain was mangled in the
fields, and large washouts occurred.
Lightning struca several buildings in
this city without doing any damage.
Edward O'Neil and several friends
were sta- ding in front of a house on
East Walnut street when a stroke of
lightning struck the building and
glancing off scattered the crowd. O'-
Neill was hurled tnto the street and
rendered unconscious. The others
were shocked, but all have revived.

CHARLEVOIX, Mich., June 17.—The
steamer Champlain, of the Northern
Michigan Line, bound for Cheboygan
from Chicago, burned at midnight be
tween Norwood aud Charlevoix, at the
mouth of tbe Grand Traverse Bay
The boat was running ten miles an

on Qre. He raa to the hurricane deck,
plunged in a tank aud then retuaned to
his work, but was too late to slop his
engine or connect the hose.

passengers aroused, and when life-pre
servers had been fastened on all gath
ered on the forward deck. Two life
boats aod life-rarss were lowered, but
the steamer was running so fast that
they got away. In ten minutes from
the time the boat caught fire tbe pas

half, when they were rescued by a yawl
aud fish boats from tbe shore. Several
of those saved were badly burned,
Theie are seven not accounted for.
The boat burned to tie hull has been

It is impossible now to tell the cause
of the fire, but it is thought it may
have been caused by a lamp exploding.

Sunday Niglit*a Storm Causes Groat
Damage to Crops and Buildings In
Luncastor and Berks County.
LANCASTER, Pa., June 20.— Reports
coming from the country districts show
that an immense amount of damage
was caused by the heavy stoim that
visited the county last |evenlng. The
storm came from the northeast and
spread over a wide territory. The wind
blew a hurricane, rain fell in torrents,
and the hail was as large as walnuts.
Lightning and thunder were almost in
cessant in the track of the ttorm,
which went through Rapho, East
HempQeld, Manor, Manheim, Lancas
ter, Peqna, East Lampeter, and other
townships and this city. Tobacco is
cut to pieces or washed from the
ground. The corn is badly cut, in
some instances only the bare stalks
standing. The grain is beaten down
and at Sporting Hill the wheat is cut
off, only stubbles remaining. The
fruit crop is much damaged, fully one
half of it being cut from the trees at
some points, aud large numbers of
trees are blowu down. Streams were
swollen to large proportions and many
small bridges were swept away In
one piece of woods near New Danville
one hundred trees were blown down.
The lightning, too, did its share of the
damage. In litis city two buildings
were struck, but not badly damaged.
Newton Erb's house, at Rouk's sta
tion, was struck and badly damaged
and Er. Erb who was milking in the
stable, was knocked down, as was the
cow he was milking. Another holt
struck St. John's U. B. (Dturch, near
Soudersburg,damaging it considerably,
hut fortunately not setting it on (Ire.
In the city sewer were not large e
nough to carry off tire immense amoui t
of water, and many cellars were flood
ed. The hail did other damage besides
spoiling the crops. In Ibis city hun
dreds of window panes were broken
in the hot houses and large manufac
tories, and iu Levi Gross' farm house,
in East HempQeld, only two panes re
mained unbroken.
A Middletown Jewelry Store Robbed
of over one Thousand Dollars Worth
of Goods.
A Middletown paper of last week
gives the following account of a bold
robbety perpetrated in that place; Th%
most daring robbery in the history of
Middletown was that of the jewelry
store of Mr. E. 11. Klahr yesteiday
morning, the theives bursting off the
door of the huge iron safe and carrying
off the tuost of its valuable conteuts.
The theives knocked in a panel of the
rear door, thus effecting an entrance.
Holes were diilled in the safe aod Qlled
with powder, the cracks plastered with
mud, and shortly afterwards a tremen
dous explosion occurred, blowing the
door of the safe from its hinges shat
tering the skylight wirtdowp, and loos
eniug the glass of the heavy French
plate front. The noise awoke almost
every family residing on the block. Dr.
Charles Pease living next door, hastily
arose and looking out of the window
inquired of a man standing below(whu
was one of the thieves on guard), who
answered : "Put your head in you
Martin Kendig, residing opposite,
heard the noise of the explosion, and
looking out of the window took in the
situation. lie afterwards went to the
front do >r and 11 red Ave shots at the

The latter Qred a shot in returu. Two
accomplices were busy in the interior !
of the building, relieving the safe of its

BLOOMINOTOM, Ills., Sep. 18. 1882.
Messrs. F. J. Cheney it Co., Toledo,
Ohio t —Have taken Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Hud calurih ull my life ;am 48
years old. Had asthma IP years, and
a dieadful cough for live years. Have
taken everything ; went to the Hot
Springs; I have doctored with the doc
tors here; I have done nothing but take
medicine far 19 vears. When I com
menced using Hall's Catarrh Cure I
was almost dead. I sent for the doctor
the day I got Hall's Catarrh Cure and
I told him that I would die any way
and that I w>.u!d try your medicine. I
was very bad How 1 suffered for 9
years! I could hardly breathe at times.
I saw Hall's CHtarrh Cure advertised
in the patters and commenced taking it.
I would have been under the ground to
day if it bad not been for that. 1 have
not had one bad spell of coughing since.
In breathing my head feels well and I
am well. It has done me a thousand
dollars worth of good. There are ten
of my friends, on seeing what it had
done for me, taking It, and it is helping
them. I only wish that every one who
has catarrh, asthma and a had cough
could see me, so that 1 could tell them
nil to take it. All that know me here
know how I have suffered, (I have
been here since 1558.) and say to me
that "I am so glxd that you found
something that could cure you." Ev
eryone says, '-how much better you
look." The doctors say they are glad
I found Hall's Catarrh Cure us they
could not cure me.
. I cannot express my gratitude to you
for the good Hall's Catarrh Cure has
done me. You can use AS much of this
letter as will do the alllicted good. Tub
lish it to the whole world—it is all tine
and tHey should know it.
