HIGH LICENSE is getting in its ef
fects in Minneapolis. The new law
which went into effect on July 1
caused a decrease from 500 to 149 op
plications for saloon licenses in that
state, and-the former saloon keepers
begin to look around for something
else to do.
THE democratic papers of Fayette
county announce Charles E. Boyle, of
Uniontown, as a candidate for the
nomination for additional law judge
in the Fayette and Greene judicial
district. Mr. Boyle's record as a law
yer and as a democratic congressman t
is of the best kind. A man of his j
stamp is sure to make a good judge
and if elected his district need not fear
a bungling administration oi the
functions of the court.
IT may net bo true that Dr. Mc-
Glynn called himself the "Martin
Luther of the Nineteenth Century,"
but be expressed himself about the
Romish hierarchy in a menner that
strongly resembles the stand which
the great Reformer of old took against
the Roman Catholic church. Since
he is excommunicated it remains to be
seen whether he is made of the same
stuff as Dr. Luther, and dare repeat
his immortal words, "Here I stand, I
can not do otherwise ; God help me !"
TURN the rascals out! Another re
publican office holder who should have
had his wa Iking papers ere this has
turned out to be a rascal, nis name
is Osca? Jewel Ilarrey, hailing from
TVilkesbarre, Luzerne county, where
his career had been a checkered one
ever since the death of his father a
bout 16 years ago. Through the in
fluence of several influential Republi
cans of this state and on the ground
ot his natural intelligence and excel
lent education he got a position in
the United States Treasury depart
ment. But 10, when in the words of
the lamented Hendricks the "Books
were opened" the young man's nc
co ants were found to be very crooked
and as great and honored Tilden ad
vised that"Reform is necessary" Oscar
had to leave' instantcr. No doubt,
upon full investigation the accounts
of several other Republican depart
ment officials would be found in a simi
lar condition. Harvey's democratic
successor is Austin 11. Brown, and
we venture the opinion that he is an
honest man.
GRAND ARMY REPUBLIC posts al
ways were considered non-political
organizations and that is one of the
reasons why the order prospered and
met with success in all their under
takings. Late developments however
threaten to put the grand army in a
different light, unless the members of
the order resent the unwise and ridic
ulous behavior of a few of their lead
ers whose mean partisan spirit gets
the better of them. The quicker the
G. A. R. puts such men as Faircbild
and Tuttle in the shade the better for
the order. They and their hangers
on have done lots of mischief already
by their unjust and unreasonable at
tacks upon President Cleveland. Ever
since the president vetoed the so-called
"pauper pension bill,'* a vetoe which ;
commanded the approval of every
right-thinking American citizen, sev
eral of the political place hunters, who
unfortunately belong to the G. A. R.
order are antagonistic and the recent
unpleasantness about Cleveland's in
vitation to attend the St. Louis en
campment is nothing more or less
than the result ot their brawling.
Cleveland with his usual good judge
ment and sense of right firmly declines
the invitation which came from the
citizens of St. Louis, and in a letter
to the mayor of that city states bis
reasons in a manly and noble manner.
He expresses bis regret at tho un
friendly feeling which some of the G.
A. R, posts foster against him on ac
count of an official act which bis sense
of duty and justice dictated bim to
do, and which he is not afraid to lay
bare to the scruitiny of any soldier.
He does not fear the threatened in
sults in case he would attend the en
campment, but he will not consent to
have his presence there prove an ob
stacle to the general success of the en
campment His letter is a note
worthy document and will make
Cleveland :v host of friends and ad
mirers, even among the veterans. The
soldier-politicians who exhibit such a
hateful spirit as to threaten open in
sult to the ehief exeeutive of this, Re
public forget that they ouee fought to
establish peace and that their partisan
feci ingsjw ill bring disgrace upon them
selves and throw a reflection of disloy
alty upon the order to which they be
long.
Again we heard from those noisy
G. A. R. politicians when they ex
pected to make campaign capital out
of President Cleveland's well-meant
order to return the confederate flags.
The cry they raised was intended to
incite the indignation and wrath ot
the whole country. But it failed, and
the harsh expressions aud rash words
recoil upon those who used theiu.
The country at largo cares but little
what becomes of the flags so long as
the North and South enjov the peace
ful union which was established at the
time the flags were captured.
To out a long short there re
main but two things to do for
the G. A. R. men, viz., either to dis
card those blatherskites who wish to
use the order for political purposes, or
else run the risk of forfeiting the hon
or and safety of the Grand Army of
veterans of the late war.
WASH INT. TON LETTER.
(From our regular correspondent.)
WAMHNUTON, July IT, IsST.
To allow tho vanity of all the simulation
as to the successor of the late Justice
Woods, it is only necessary to mention the
fact that as the new Justice cannot take his
seat on the leneh until ho is continued by
the United States Senate, so that it is not
at all proluhle that the appoiutment will Ih
made K fore Congress meets in Dtvetulicr,
for as the old saying goes, the President
does not believe "in crossing a bridge till
lie gets to it.
The President's abandonment of his pro
posed visit to St. Louis, is a theme of ab
sorbing interest and discussion, and vol
uuies pro and eon have Invn written and
spoken u I tout it. The President's action
lias had two opposite effects with Grand
Army men ; one faction plumes itself in
I having repulsed the President, while the
| other re luctantly yields hint respect and ad
miration for his resolute moral courage,
which so far, has been equal to every re
\ quirement throughout his illustrious career.
The next day after the ap|tearanee of Prcsi
i dent Cleveland's letter withdrawing his
j ct ptaneo of his St. Louis visit, l."> members
of General Lander post. Grand Army of the
Republic, of Lynn. Mass., called upon the
J President, gave him three ringing cheers
and were warmly welcomed to the White
House by a patriotic sißveh from the Presi
j dent.
Under the authority of Congress, Senator
I Coekrell is drawing to a close his invest!-
; gation of the methods of conducting the
j business of the various Departments and it
i is hoped that if no other beneficial result is
! secured, provision at least will be made for
the settieiueut of the accounts of disbursing
J officials before grim death cheats the peni
-1 tentiary.
Tlie colored people of tho South are com
ing forward as complainants before the In-
I lerstate Goininission in a renewed effort to
secure their so-called "civil rights" by
I forcing themseh es to ride in "de same cyar
j wid ile white folks." I think it would 1h
well to dub the Commission, "The Grand
High Court of Complaints," as scarcely a
day passes without every conceivable sort
of protest and petition ltelng gravely pre
: sented for their consideration. Despite the
' great elauior raised by the railroads a
j gainst the alleged ingenious effects of the
Interstate act, it would IK.' well to note the
j significant fact that tho net earnings of the
j principal roatia for the month ot June,
' is greatly in excess of the sum earned dur
ing the same ]K-rio,L last vu.ir. No better
' argument could be adduced in tavor ot the
i law.
A great sensation was created in the
! Treasury by the arrest of Oscar J. Harvcv,
I chief of a Division in the Second Controll
ler's Office, for forgeries amounting t<> st',-
j 200. The defaulter had prepared his papers
j to forge accounts amounting to SA2.KOO,and
I the only thing that prevented him from re
-1 aliztng the sum was the delay of Congress
, in making tho appropriation —it certainly
I would have been made but tor the detection
; of Harvev.'s steal, because it is a portion ot
the Deficiency Appropriation. Aftoi t-uig
confronted with the evidences of his crime,
the wretched man broke down and confessed
all. Tho penalty is ?IJHNI lino or ten years
i imprisonment, or both in each case, ami
there are a hundred cases or more.
Mrs. Pickett, widow of the Confederate
General and hero. has returned from Gettys
burg, where relatively her recep
tion was as warm as that of Lur distin
guished husband twenty-four years ago.
Mrs. Pickett spoke with pride of her great
ovation, and in greeting your correspondent
she exhibited her right hand worn through
the skin by the hearty shakes of tho gallant
and generous Union \ eterans. In speaking
of that memorable and historic event she
was almost moved to tears.
The crank. llnba, the man who was ar
rested for threatening President Cleveland's
life has leen confined in the Hospital for
lusatio a> a dangerous lunatic.
As a bit of welcome and encouraging
news to ail good Democrats, I will mention
the fact that Washington' l ! lb-publican
post-master will give place to a Duiijoorat
in a short time.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland arc en
route to New York to attend the Clinton
celebration and visit several other places
i and the trip will doubtless Im- one of much
1 pleasure and interest to the jxsoplc as well
as their honored guests.
in his frenzied zeal to inaniifueture a lit
tle more bloody shirt political capital, the
Washington correspondent of the N.
TrilHtite, telegraphed his paper that Secre
tary Etidicott. siyartjug under his responsi
bility for the battle Hag folly, had ordered
that'no matter le furnished the press from
the War records, without the Secretary's
special inspection and permission. And
after the Secretary had positively denied
the .statement, the correspondent reiterates
the charges and accuses the Secretary ot
falsehood,

He was appointed through the efforts

to the secretary of the treasury is a
strong endorsement by Hon. bamuel
Randall. After Harvey's appointment
the democrats of this county made a
strong protest and Representatives
Storm and Curtin looked the matter

Harvey's recoid at this place was very
unsavory. He has heard the word

Veterans In Camp.
GETTSIU'RO. Pa., July 'lo.—The
Army encampment is in full blast Pete
to-day The camp is tilled with veter
ans and bright with flags. The attend
ance of the visitors, however.is hardly
as large as last year. At ten o'clock
this morning divine services were held
at the rostrum in the National ceme
tery. The sermon was preached by De
partment Chaplain Rtv. John IV. Say
ers, who took as his text. "What
Shall it Profit Man, if He Gain the
Whole World and Lose his Own Soul?"
The sermon was listened to by a Large
assemblage of veterans, visitors and
citizens. This evening at (j 30 the usu
al dress parade took place, which was
followed by "song service," by the
veterans. Monday morning the busi
ness meeting was held and after that a
reunion of the Eighteenth Pennsylva
nia cavalry. At 631 o'clock the usual
dress parade was 1 eld which was fol
lowed by a display of fireworks and a
sham battle. For more than an hour
the roar of fire crackers and the rush of
rockets entertained the crowd of spec
tators who covered the hill. A con
cert by the Frunkford closed the day.
ALL THE HOTELS CLOSED.
HUNTINGDON, July 9.— To-day the
proprietors of ibo leading hotels here,
including the Leister house. Hotel
Brunswick, Franklin House, Washing
ton Hotel and Mobus House, whose ap
plications for license to sell liquor,were
refused last April, and whose appeal to
the Supreme Court has been held over
until September, decided to close their
hotels against all transient and regular
boarders indefinitely, to lake effect on
the ISth inst. Each landlord qualified
himself under oath to live up to the a
greement, which shall not be changed
unless by the unanimous consent of the
parties interested.
The tegular boarders at all the hotels
who have been notified to leave at once
are greatly distressed by reason of their
inability to find suitable lodging plac
es elsewhere. Many of tliera are being
taken care of by personal friends. The
landlords justify their action by declar
ing that without license they cannot
afford to keep their housps open. It is
feared that the sucoess of the proposed
celebration of the county's centennial
anniverslty, to lie lielJ in .Septeml>er,
will be seriously interfered with in
consequence of the hotels being closed
to the public.

SUNIIURY, July s.—Samuel Drum

the eye with a knife by tieorgo Wen
rich in the National hotel, in Selins

from ttie effects of which ho will die,
Wenrich has just lluishcd ten yeats'

SKLINSOUOYK. Pa., July o.—George
Wenrich, who stabbed Samuel Drum
heller on (the Fourth of July evening
was arrested lute last night aud taken
lo Middleburg this morning. Ho gave
the otticers considerable trouble before
they captured him.
[The trial of this man Weniich for
the killing of Dr. Wagonselier occurred
in Mlddlebuiff, Snyder county, '.about
fifteen years ago. liexciltd great in
terest throughout that whole section
of country because of tho promineuce
and popularity of Dr. Wagonselier. lie
was a gentleman of means and large
political influence, commanding the re
spect of all who knetv him Tlio fami
ly of Wenrich had by some means ere
ated more or less feeling in his behalf
and there was some fear that there
might be a tpiscairiage of justice. In
order to tnsuie a thorough and vigor
ous prosecution the friends of Dr.
WagonselLr secured the professional
services of A. J. Ilerr, of tlie Dauphin
county Har. The def mlant retained a
long array of eminent counsel, a.r.ong
them being Hon. Andrew Dill, Linn
and Zeigler. Judge Hucher presided
in court. The Miul occupied several
days and nights, ending in the couvic
tion of Wenrich for murder in tic
second degree. It was a cause cchbre,
and the tradition of many of the excii
ing events attending it are still vivid
among the jeople. One of the most
affecting scenes was when the counsel
for Weniich placed at his side a young
and beautiful girl to whom hu was en
gaged to IR married, and his counsel
made a pathetic appeal for mercy for
the prisoner on account of this Hlade
o' Grass, as he called Iter. The jury
and spectators were deeply affected,
and it looked as if sympathy would
turn the scales in favorof his client.
Uut Mr. Ilerr, in a m >st powerful ad
dress that awed and thrilled every one
who heaid it, as he depicted the awful
crime of murder, the desolate home of
the dead man and his agony it. the ter
rible death he suffered, soon turned the
sympathy ftom the living to the dead
and won a onviction, which at ilrst
seemed hopeless. This the last crime
of Wenrich shows that lie Is a desper

A Town Destroyed by Fire.
ERIE, July 5. —A special to the Dis
patch says : At 030 p. m. a tie
started in what is known as the old
Snow planning mill at Clarendon, sev
en miles east of Wairen, on thel'hila
delphia and Erie railroad and shortly
afterwards another was seen issuing
from the Weaver hotel, owned by John
Mahoney. There was a brisk wind
blowing and Ibe lire swept over the
frame t uijdings like a whirlwind. The
fire department being small and unable
to cope with the two fires, appeals foi
aid were made to Warren. A Steamer
and Look and ladder truck and two full
fire companies wer rent, arriving at
Clarendon at 11. 30. Every effoit was
made to save the town,hut the depot of
the Philadelphia and Kiie railroad was
the only build J ig of consequence say d
The area burned oyer is about -U ucies.
The value of the buildings destroyed is
>3*>o,ooo, roughly estimated, while the
insurance is small. Adjusters are now
on the ground. It is estimated that 1.-
100 people are homeless to-night ; some
are camped out at Clarendon while
some have been taken t.o Waneri, from
which place piovisions were sent.
Hough lumber is being sent to CDreti
don as fast as possible in order that
shelter may be provided for those burn
ed out.
Ii is now well established that the
fire was of incendiary oiigln. Public
rumor at Clarendon says liiat two
we ks ago when tlie liquor licenses
were refun d to all applicants in War
ren Cwunty, Mahoney, proprietor of the
Weaver house, threatened to fire the
town if the decision of the court was
not reversed in two weeks. This morn
ing after Mie fire burned out, citizens
j loked about for Mahoney, for one of fhe
tires started in his room in the hotel,hut
lie was not to lie found. A warrant
charging him with arson was Bworn
out.'and searching parties scoured the
surroundingcountry to apprehend him.
He was found hiding in the woods six
miles from Clarendon and because
lynching was feared lie was taken to
Warren to tail. A charred skeleton
was found in one of the rooms of the
hotel and is supposed to he Mint of a
hack driver named Sullivan who is
missing. He was seen about the hotel
eaily in the evening diunk.
