Governor Iloyt on Saturday vetoed two
important measures passed by the last le;
Mature, namely, the Philadelphia street
nitwJnll and Senator Schnatterly'a bill
aooilsning tie store oruer system. Uui
cerning the bill to secure to operators an
laborers in mines and manufactories of Iron
and steel the payment of their money
regular intervals in lawful United States
money, the governor says :
"The act is special and within constltu
tional prohibition. Even if general
would bo open to valid objection as being
contrary to the genius ol our free govern'
nicnt and as basal upon a theory subversive
of the true principles of our constitution i
that it denies the laborer the right to sell
bis labor to whom ho pleases and for such
prices and on such term as seem good to
him without molestatatlon, hindrance or re'
ttriction.
This bill, in my judgment, interferes with
the free employment of capital, arbitrarily
controls trade, substitutes legislation for the
laws of supply and demand, and is the be'
ginning of a system of paternal government
at variance with our political institutions.
which always proved when tried injurious
alike to tho employed as well as the em
ployer. Believing it to be not only iu con
flict with the Constitution, but also contrary
to public policy and the true theory of free
government, I am compelled to withhold my
approval."
The executive approval has been given to
the mechanic's lien bill. The Governor has
some doubts as to the constitutionality of
the first section of the bill, but as other
portions of it are of great importance to
those engaged in drilling for oil he has
signed the measure, leaving the question of
constitutionality to the courts.

The Hull Tragedy.
The Failure cf the (Irant Excursion.
Tho plan of an excursion across tho con
tinent to meet Gen. Grant and escort bim
home has como to grief. It has been receiv
ed with a general outburst of contempt and
ridicule, oven in tho house of his friends.
What reason was there for going to San
Francisco to see Gen. Grant? Ho had rid
don on an elephant and had been graciously
received by persons wearing crowns ; but
what of that? A monkey can ride on an
elephant, and tho greatest favorites with
crowned heads aro persons least in sympathy
with the free institutions of America.
There is a particular significance, however,
in tho signal failure of this first deliberately
planned effort to do honor to Gen. Grant, al
though it was ridiculous iu itself. Wo look
upon it as the forerunner of a scries of fail
ures likely to attend upon all attempts to
mako him tho Republican candidato for
President again. Wo beliovo that is a thing
which cannot bo done, and that every step
taken toward it will prove to be only a step
toward defeat. A7. Y. San.

Prince .Napoleon's Death.
London, June 30. The British troop
ship Orontes, with the body of the Prince
Imperial, Is expected to reach England on
the 9th of July. The troopers who were
with the Prince Imperial when he was kill
ed declare, in contradiction to Lieut. Carey's
statement, that the survivors galloped two
or three milts without stopping. The Times
correspondent, summarizing tho various ac
counts of the death of the Prince, says
"The Quartermaster-General disobeyed Lord
Chelmsford's orders by sending the Prince
on a dangerous expedition, the escort of
which deserted its duty. In the whole af
fair thero is not one redeeming feature."
Despatches from Chiselhurst this morning
say that tho temporary improvement in the
condition of the Empress Eugenie has given
way to a return of the symptoms which
caused apprehensions for her life a few days
ago. Violent paroxysms still assail her,
and her condition is again regarded as one
of the greatest danger.
The Duke of Cambridge has approved the
proposal for a general army subscription to
raise a memorial for the late Prince Imper
ial. The subscription has already been
opened.
Good Keports About the Western Crops.
Borlinxiton, Iowa, June 29. The Hawk
Eye publishers reports from over seventy
points iu Southern Iowa and Western Illi
nois contiguous to Burlington relative to the
condition of the crops. In the latter district
harvesting is just commcnoing. But little
wheat has been cut as yet, but the yield so
far is excellent, both as to quality and quan
ity. In Southwestern Iowa the chintz bug
has done somo damage, and in other localities
thcro aro occasional complaints of rust ; but
upon .tho whole tho yield will be nearly,
not quite, up to the average. Corn is in
splendid condition, and promises the largest
yield that has been bad for several years.
There has been an increased acreage, and the
average per acre is much higher. Oats are
in good condition, but tho stand is light in
many places. Hay, which promised less
than half a crop during the dry June rains,
and now will yield two-thirds of a crop. In
somo localities there has been an excess of
moisture, but upon tho whole reports are
uery encouraging, and farmers and business
men are fouling greatly encouraged at tho
outlook.
Wine or Water?
The people are familiar with the temper
auce people's objection to the use of wioo
for the purposes of holy communion, that it
may possibly lead some weak brother into
temptation, but hero comes such an orthodox
journal as the Method'ul, than which none
is straiter to any sect, and argues for the
abandonment of wine on the ground that so
much of the stuff called and administered
in the sacrament by that name is not wine
at all, but a vile decoction of deleterious
compounds. On which account the Metlto
diil favors the disuse of wine and tre prac
tice of taking water ; maintaining that the
emphasis of the command which institutes
the Lord's Supper is not ou the pronouu
'this, indicating the substances used, but on
the verbs eat and 'drink' an 1 on the splrl
tual purpose designated by the phrase 'Iu
remembrance of me.' "The symbolic char
acter of the sacrament no mare requires a
particular kind of wine than bread. The
bread used in our time is not unusually, at
least, perhaps never, the same In kind as
that used by our Saviour, He Instituted the
supper with the common drink of tho coun
try and time ; whether it was a fermented
wine does not concern our argument. Our
common dtink is water and not wiue, and it
is practically difficult for most churches to pro
cure wine that is not adulterated." Among
those who have experienced the difficulty
which the Slethodutt points out as so com
mon and superable, its objections no doubt
will have weight and its recommendations
may be potent, but it can hardly expect that
some practical brother will not point out to
It that its diluculties cau be overcome by
the appointment of some one to the consis
tory, vestry, session or class leadership, as it
may be, who is a connoisseur of wine It
it not likely that auy Christian fellowship
lacks one such at least. Lancatter Intelligencer,
Chasllne Cox, the confessed murderer of
Mrs. Dr. Hull In New York, was boru In
Powhatan county, Virginia, thirty-two
years agu. tils lather and motner were
slaves, the latter with Indian blood in her
veins. Helsoueof seven brothers, six of
whom aro alive. He served three years in
the Union army, and was mustered out at
Fort Jackson, New Orleans. In 1874 he
made his first appearanco In New York.
His career In Gotham and tho story of his
awful crime are also familiar tu our read
ers. The narrow escape of the poor victim's
husband from perhaps the gallows cannot
but be of Interest. In Thursday's New York
papers, Captain Williams, the New York
policeman, was quoted as saying to a report
er : "For days sve have had our minds on a
man who has offered to testify under oalh
that Dr. Hull spoko to him three different
times about murdering his wife; talked to
him about the easiest way of committing n
murder, and talked at length about tho Na
than murder aud other mysterious murders."
At tho 1 1 nil Inquest on Thursday Mr. Town
send referring to this statement, put this ques
tion to Captain Williams ; Is it true that
somo person told you that Dr. Hull had
talked to him regarding killing his wile ?
Not In regard to killing his wile, exactly J
but of doing a job of that kind. Ue did
not speak to me about it, but I knew what
10 had said the man who made those
representations, I mean. He is here. Q.
How long after tho murder did that come to
your knowledge ? A. I think it was tho
second day. Coroner WoUman The news
was brought to the Coroner's office that such
statements had been made. Tho man was
seut for, and his namo was never asked.
He related his story and it was listened to,
and the testimony was not produced here
for reasons well known to those Investigat
ing this case. I do not think it is any part
of this case at all. It was not brought here
and cannot bo brought here, as testimony,
or any part of it." Dr. Hull has certainly
had a narrow escape Irom being tried for the
murder of his wife. Had Chas'lne Cox not
been captured, it is now acknowledged that
such testimony against Dr. Hull had been
collated by the police for the Graud Jury
that his indictment would have followed as
a matter of course. At 9 o'clock on Mon
day night, a few minutes before Cox was
arrested, an Influential police official said
"We have news from Huston that may shake
our belief In Dr. Hull's guilt." At 11
oclock on the same night the same official
and all his associates at work on the case
were aware that a negro of whom they knew
nothing, but who had actually jostled them
on the Btreets while they built np their wu
of proof around the doctor, was without
doubt tho guilty, self-confessed murderer,
The evidence which the police expeeted to
show was substantially this : Dr. Hull and
his wife lived unhappily together. For
eighteen years he and she had occupied sep
arate apartments. For many years she bad
received attentions from Mr. Hyde ; their
relations up to the date of h'er death were
peculiar, to the extent that, although her
rooms were the means of tier support, he OC'

Irregularly, and not always with money. A
Mr. CuitU-n'len mado llm Hull mansion, to

Hull was snubbed by his wife, who did not

her husband having but little part in her
life, and noun whatever in her business or
social affair. At one time, when be pros
pered aud m ticli, she aidnd him socially,
and he overlooked her peculiarities. But
at the time of the murder he was without
business, money or friend', and thus was
finally wrought up to a point that led him to
murder. The doctor is a skilled chemist. It
was considered by the police an established
fact that Mrs Hull was rendered uucon
scious, then killed. A chemirt, not a burg'
lar, would do murder that way. The use of
cologii6to kill the fumes of ether was
the expedient of a skillful chemist. The
doctor's mind could be proven o be of an
inventive turn. Inventions of his had
brought him J125.000, which he had since
spent or lost. H employed his days and
evenings experimenting iu his laboratory,
After Mrs. Hull died, said the police, it was
reasonable to suppose that the murderer
came to his reason. Ho was alarmed. He
poured ice-water on hr chest and face to re
vivo her. He was not even then sure she
was dead. He tried a surgeon's last resort
"the fire test." The caudle that was held
to the eyes dripped, and a drop of its grease
fell in her sleeve. Tim ether flamed up and
burned her eye-brows. Nobody but the mast'
er of the hou-e would have known where to
find the ice water and the cologne. and after
ward the bandiges, or would have dared to
remain and look for them. The strongest
proof that the police considered to be against
Dr. Hull was that a caudle was found in his
room, the composition of which was the
sauiH as the drop ou tho sleet o of the inurd
ered woman, Acomling to the police it was
evident that tho murderer, iguorant of tb
fact that burglars bring their own ropes fo
tying people, used the material at hand and
bandaged the woman as surgeons bandage
patients when they amputato limbs. He was
too skillful to tie "surgeons' knots," bu
of a knot, whereas a burglar would have
tied but one kind of knot, Tho police wore
sure that it took an hour to bind tho woman
Who but a doctor would handle a dead body
that length of time ? It was evident that
the murderer, desirous of ventilating the
hous to drive away the smell of eilhor,
opened the back pallor windows, the sliding
doors, the ball doors aud the street doors. It
was the theory that the husband rifled the
trunk and the drawers to deceive the police,
not to gain pluuder. He knew her fortune
would be his when she died. In thoab
sence of any evidence against any other per
son, this was the theory aud tho evidence
that would almost certainly have placed Dr,
Hull upon trial, and might have resulted
in sending him to the State Prison for tb
brief remaiuder of his life.or to the gallows,
The police were prepared to show the mo
tive, the opportunity and the manner of the
murder. All pointed to the husband as the
murderer. It is certain that from Superin
tendent Walling down the police believed
iu this theory, and would have pressed it.
The husband bad been rich ; be was poor.
He had beeu honored; he wis put iu a
second place in his wife's household and
among her friends, Ue was left to potter
in his laboratory and to sleep In au attio
room, while the wife filled the parlor with
her friends and consulted with other men as
to the management of her affairs. He was
old and decrepit, and his wife's companions
were young and gay. Jealousy, wounded
pride, cupidity and senile rage these were
sufficient motives for a murder, and all these
emotions the police fretly attributed to this
aged husband against whose reputation no
word had ever before been said. But In the
capture and the confession of Chastlne Cox
all these suspicious and all this web of care-fully-woven
evidence have disappeared as if
they had never been. On Friday Super iu
tendent Walling for the first time made pub
lic tholname of the man, a convict, who came
to tho police with the Information that ho
ad been approached by Dr. Hull who de
sired to hire his services to ''put somebody

Do'cctlvo Lyon went to tho place Indica
ted, nnd there met Purdy, who rehearsed the
tnry as already published about being ap-
roached by a man resembling Dr. Hull,
who wanted to hire him to "do a job" to put
somebody out of the way. The detective
nformed the Superintendent and Coroner
Wolttnan of the circumstance, anil tho in
former was sent for and examined. Now,
it is absolutely certain that Dr. Hull bad no
connection with the murder, and hence It
must be equally certain that if Purdy made
such statements they were absolutely false ;
but tho clrcum-tances which called forth the
statements In regard to this man are extra
ordinary. It is very extraordinary that a
person should voluntarily nppear and offer
testimony of the most important kind, at a
limo when a minder, nutsido of "pet thco
rie," was wrapt In mystery, and when the
whole community was waiting with the
greatest anxiety for developments, and that
this offer should be made to officials, who
wore sulliciently entrustrd to atl'ord the per
son a number of interviews and have' him

that suits for libel will be speedily begun

theory of Dr. Hull's guilt. Dr. Hull'.

was engaged in committing a grand larceny,
The District Attorney says that there is no
doubt of Cox being guilty of murder in ih
first degree, and that the jury will undoubt'
edly bring in such a verdict. He killed the
woman whilo engaged in the commission of
a graud larceny, and tho statute declares
that it makes no difference whether the kill

took Annio to a rear bod-room and shot her
n a like manner. The youngest girl lay on
a bed and ho shot her also behind tho car.
Ho left the houso aud told a saloon keeper
what ho had douo and was arrested lin a sec
ond saloon. After tho arrest ho was cool,
and said ho was ready to let the law take its
course. He said ho could not support his
children and feared they would grow up and
enter houses of prostitution, aud thought
that they would bo happier in heaven. He
had planned for ten days to kill them. Ho

by (her handsome face and commanding
figure. At the time of 'her marriage, Dr,
Hull was in successful practice as a physic
ian, and they have lived in a style befitting
their means. Having made what be regard'
ed as a valuable discovery in the elec
trical treatment of patients, Dr. Hull
went to Europe and established a practice in
London. His success was very great, and
he made many acquaintances among the
English nobility. His wife, who had ac

being known in the best society of London
On account oi the death of her father and
the illness uf her mother, Mrs. Hull return

Hull came with her, intending only to make
a visit here, and to go back to London. He
changed bis purpose, however, and began
to practice again in New York. In recent
years Mrs. Hull had often spoken with re
gret of this change iu his plans. In begin

They were childless, but had always been
accustomed to employ many servants. Mrs,
Hull possessed a quantity of silver plate and

her life in Europe. She was very fond of
society, and gamed many warm friends
among the oJucated class. She was a mem

imperious in the rule of the house, not even
consulting her husband's wishes in the gen

in Spiritualism was one of Mrs. Hull's char

that in making her signature sho invariably

In the face of everything, Wanamakcr & Brown increased
their great Clothing business last year at Oak Hall nearly a quarter
of a million dollars, and for 1879 the new plans will make the
house more popular and increase the business much more.
Eighteen years in the people's service at the old corner of Sixth
and Market lias taught us how to do the business well.
Ma
Whatever may be said, no house in the United States sells any-'
thing like so much Clothing at Retail as Oak Hall, and no house
in Philadelphia sells more than a quarter as many goods as
Mr. Wanamakcr sells ill ClotMny alone. Doing this large
business shows the people's regard for our goods, and enables us
to buy cheaply and sell at small profits.
New patterns have been made this year and new styles intro
duced through Mr. Robert C. Ogdcn (formerly partner of the
famous firm of Devlin & Co., New York), who is now associated
with Oak Hall, nnd will give his whole energies and valuable
experience to improving the manufacture of our lioys' and Men's
Clothing. We do not buy Clothing like the dealers, but make
It expressly for our own sales. The Spring stock is splendid,
and no other mako of goods, so far, have as much merit, or are
sold as cheaply.
Impressions have been erroneously given to the effect that
Mr. John Wanamakcr, who founded Oak Hall, is not interested in
the old store, and that it doc3 not have his attention ; on tho
contrary, his ownership of it remains unchanged, and ho has lost
none of his love for it. Kvcry day finds him supervising all its
departments. Mr. William II. Wanamakcr spends his entire timo
on the Oak Hall business.
