Dear Sir : Will you allow me through
thu medium of your journal, In justice to
Mr. John A. Gorman, to say that at no
tiui during the conference or any other
time, was his name used or his conferees
n his naiiiu In way of purchase or salu to
me, nor did ho offer any conditions to me
hut what were perfectly honorable and leg.
Itlmatc.
Just beforu leaving Mauch Chunk I did
seu Mr. Gorman at tho sldu of thu American
Houso off from thu .Main street lu conver
sation with onu of his conferees, holding
money curelcssly In his hands. I remarked
to Mr, Sldlcr to Btep that way which ho
did, I could not say what amount ns
merely glanced that way nnd passed on. I
feel It my duty to wrltu this much
as I find my namu used In connection with
an article criticising Mr. Gorman without
my consent.
i ours ivc,
F. L. Mll.Hr).
In our article of hist week wu meant to
quote Mr, Milcj as authority only for thu
statement immediately preceding Ills namu
concerning thu roll of money, and not for
thu allegation of an offer to tho Mou
tour Conferees. That somebody offered
thu nomination to Montour county fur
1000, Is admitted. Our statement was that
it was by a person who consulted Gorman
.Mr. Miles personally Informs us that It was
not madu by or for Gorman, and ho ought
to know, as he Is tho person to whom thu
offer was made, and who Indignantly ro
jectcd It. But our statement was madu
on what wu considered good authority,
that thu mnu who madu thu offer was scon
conferring with Gorman immediately after
thu proposition had been madu, and this
allegation Is not contradicted by Mr, Miles'
explanation. Thu question now arises wAo
was it Unit offered to sell out HIu richly de
serves punishment to thu full extent of thu
law.

Tito llnrvcnt Moon,
Tho September moon fulls on tho 27th at
12:20 lu tho morning. It Is thu beautiful
harvest moon nnd possesses special claims
to distinction, For, owing to tho position
of tho ecliptic In regard to thu equator at
this season, the moon rises for several
consecutive nights with only a compara.
lively small Interval between tho success
Ivc rhtngs. Tho short autumnal days
seem thus to bo prolonged by tho floods of
silvery moonlight that maku thu night
beautiful as day. Tho phenomenon Is as
easily explained ns tho nxlal rotation of the
earth. But In tho older times, when man
was nearer to nature, the harvest moon was
considered a direct Interposition of I'rovl-
cucc to assist the husbandmen lu gather
ing In tho harvest. Thu waning moon Is
n conjunction with Neptuno on thu 2nd.
with Saturn on the 3rd, with Jupiter on
the Cth, nnd with Uranus on tho 12th The
new moon of the 12th Is In conjunction
with Mercury nnd Mars on tho 14th and
with Venus on the 10th, passing a degree
and a half north of her.

Saratoga Letter In the Chicago nter-Ocean :
It was a Chicago lady who won ilOO with
which to buy bonbons, or bonnets, which
ever you like. Ladles are getting to be
very fond of betting and they nro always
pretty safe In their ventures, since they
never pay If they lose, and several of them
have inrde some "lucky hits" already this
season. It Is the fashion now, not only
for ladles, but the children also have their
betting books, and aro as expert In making
entries therein as any follower or the turf.
It took a Chicago widow to inveigle a be
witched old widower Into betting a pair of
thoroughbreads against a box of cigars.
The widow won, as they usually do, and
while we write Is this moment dashing by
behind the thoroughbreds on her way to
the lake, with another man by her side.
These widows arc Indeed the most artful
of creatures, and Saratoga Is full of;them.
There is one pretty and lively woman of
this species here who has two engagements
on hand at the present and several others
mpendlng. She wears two engagement
rings on her little finger, which would be
embarrassing to most feminities, but not to
this sly widow. When lover No. 1 sits at
icr sldu it is Ids ring which glitters softly
upon her finger. The other ring Is tucked
nugly away in her belt. And if she has
not tlmu to remove tho ring she turns it
artfully around so that it appears an inslg-
nificant rim of gold to which nobody could
object. This widow, as may be supposed,
has a numerous correspondence from love
smltten youths, and her collection of orlgl-
glnal love-letters U something unique. The
other day she dropped a package or letters
from one of her sweethearts and a rival
lover picked It up. This was rather
troublesome for the widow, but, as usual,
she found her way of escape. There chanc
ed to be another woman with thu same
name as her own in the place and she de
clared thu letters belonged to her and nc-
ually sent them to her, having first, how
ever, arranged with her imniesaku by milk
lug her n valuable present.
Tlie Concert.
A. brilliant audience greeted the Berwick
Y, M- C. A. Orchestra at the Opera House
last Friday evening, tho occuslon being a
concert for the benefit of the Winona 1-ire
Company. The programme was well per
formed. The orchestra, which has been
organized but six months, has madu re-
markable headway, and now plays with
accuracy and expression, quito difficult su.
lections. The following ladles and gentle,
men assisted the orchestra: Mrs. Glenn,
Mrs. Evans, Misses Search, Smith, Dora
and Sue Thompson, Messrs. Dlstlehurst,
Ruch, B, Vannatta, Reed, Mcllck, Prof.
Harrison, Adams, Pooler, Gro'zlcr, and
Mite. Miss Search has a very powerful
voice, with wonderful range. Shu sings
with expression, and her high notes nru
full and clear. Two encores weru accorded
her, nnd she was the recipient of three
beautiful bouquets. Slip has justly earned
a reputation as a tine vocalist. Miss Smith
too, captivated the audlencu by her sweet
voice, In singing n duet with Mr. Reed. If
shu had been on the programme for another
song it would have been warmly received.
Professor Harrison Is a tine elocutionist
and his rendition of "Thu Bells" was
heartily applauded, In responso to which
hu gave a humorous sketch. Hu has many
high testimonials to his ability as an In
structor in elocution, nnd has done a great
deal of work at county institutes. Will
Melick, In his character songs, brought the
house down, Mr- Pooler was highly coin
pllmented on Ids playing. Wo cannot
speak paitleularly of each one who took
part, but bu content with saying that all
did (belt parts well, a fact that was appar.
ent from the hearty applause of the audi-
ence nil through. To Mr. A. G, Klinberly
of Berwick, thu actlvu secretary of the Y
M. C, A. belongs nil thu credit, of organiz
ing tho orchestra, managing the concert,
and giving thu people of Bloomsburg a
pleasant entertainment. Theru Is no reason
why mnru Intimate social relations thoulil
not bo established between thu two towns,
and such occasions ns these nro calculated
to bring about such n result, At tho close
of thu concert, Geo, L Elwell' president of
thu Winona Flru Company.returnod thanks
to thu Berwick people for their services, to
the or, licstra for a beautiful bouquet pre
sented to thu company, and to tho people
of Bloomsburg and vicinity for their liberal
patronage, An informal reception wns

THK LIVELY STOCK MAIIKKT.
Tho past few days have seen some of the
most active bouncing tip and dowuof

months. Ono of thu most ineiciirlal of the
funcies has been Reading, There Is such
delightful uncertainty In Heading railroad
affairs that the price of the stock changes

ner ns to suit thu most enthusiastic specu
lator. Mining stock hold their own, and
aru not as lively as the others. Thu grain
speculators have been having brisk nnd
busy days. Thu wonderful fall In corn
has been tho most startling feature of thu

nearly ten cents a bushel. This discom
fits thu bulls who lu the fneu of a large

It must be remembered that the squeezing

Tho season for weddings and wedding
festivities approaches, which reminds us
that thu nuw wedding silver at Baily
Banks & Riddle's Is magnificent, ami com
prises a great many articles of altogether
nuw design. The constant demand for
now ideas and remarkable objects Is amply
met by this house, u large company of
designers and artists being constantly em
ployed for the purpose, and kept very busy.
Those who prefer wedding presents of tho

find ample facilities for making their
selections either in small nnd comparative-,

larger, more elaborate, and more costly.
Largo or small, every article, whether In

Wumluring among these mountains day
after day, in a dreamy, llstlvss sort of a
way, I comu ucross many curious things,
and among them, largu quantities of stonu
fence not that kind which is madu by a
judicious mingling of whiskey and water-
but tho genuine sort, madu ot rocks and
boulders which nru so largo and seem to
have been in place so long that they must
have been put theru inthe days of tho
giants. I may say there nru miles of them.
They run off into the woods they are halt,
or almost entirely, buried m grass nnd
sod covered with laurel, beautiful with
rhododendron, softened witli tender and
variously tinted mosses, and altogether
looking like nn undent breastwork, thrown
up by the Sons of Auak.
When I saw this place first, years and
years ago, of the many buildings then here,
but onu remains, and that so changed
that it could not bu recognized. The
ruins are still here ruined thu old walls,
soinu with marks of fire, others of mere
decay, are standing, lying or tumbling
about; and thu various visitors day after
lay go poking among the ruins as it hiint-
ng fur thu supposed piles of money that
old Lewis lost there. But alas 1 there are
no diamonds among thu shining bits of
glass which you turn up with your staff,
though they nru brilliant in the sunlight
no silver dollars aru found under the vltrl
fled stones, and nothing Is now here lu its
pristine perfection except thu glassy lake,
and thu beautiful white sand which lured
Lewis to his destruction. And they say,
what could havo induced the man, more
than three quarters of a century ago to
comu up to this wild country to manufac
ture glass? And no man now, can answer
thu question fully.
But thu old Englishman had an eye to
thu beautiful, thu plcturcsquu ami tho
romantic. I havu just been taking a ram.
hlu over thu situ of ids mansion, slncu
burned down, and in wliatever direction
you look your eyo rests upon laku or
mountains, or opening breaks Into valleys
sunribo mid sunset weru lu full view
from the grounds, mid It is curious that no
ono lias yet built a collage, or a moru
substantial residence thereon.
Occasionally you find a tree lu thu forest
already-yielding to thu cold, nnd dressing
its leaves in purple nnd gold. In a couple
of weeks moru thu mountains will bu dot
ted with tho variegated follagu : and thu
evergreens alonu will defy thu efforts of
thu Storm King. Even now, tho north
wind sweeps o'er laku and fell, and
whistles among the trees and around thu
gables, nnd you Hhlvcr lu anticipation of
thu coming winter. Tho mosses and thu
ferns and thu ground pines hide them
selves under leaves anil snow, and the
frost laden bhow sweeps over them mid
does no harm to thu tender growth,
And so wu leave them, confident that
when the spring comes they will ids i comu
again, nnd soften thu look of thu rocks,

The Hematite Ores
Comity.
of Clinton
The following is n letter from Mr. James
Wolfenden, of Lock Haven, to tho editor
of tho .Imiri'ciia Railiwtd Journal, published
in New York. It appeared In that journal
of thu Oth Inst., also In last Issue of the
CUnlnn Democrat. It will explain Itself t
EniToit Amkiiioax Raii.koad JotlltNAl.I
Dkak Silt i In your valuable contribu
tion of railway, mine and mill views of thu
20th ult., 1 notice a statement that Iron
manufacturers complain of a scarcity of
good hematite ore In Pennsylvania, naming
Centre county as having eoino fine speci
mens, but stating that they nre not rich
enough to warrant manufacturers In pny-
ng freight on ttictn, nnd that the best
magnetic ores used In Pennsylvania are
now brought from Spain and Africa. As
tho assertion docs not name tho works or
glvo figures, your renders nro unable to
form even an approximate estlmatu of the
cost of handling the New Jersey magnetic
nnd the Pennsylvania hematite ores, or
of bringing them to this section, Judging
by my observations I should say that the
works wero located by the "tow-path"
rule, depending on wagon feeders from
thu mines to the railroads, which would
cost not less than ten cents per ton for
each mllo ; and thu difference in wages
in this country from those In the countries
named must ali-o bu taken into account.
The Central Pennsylvania hematite ores of
Clinton, Centre, Clearfield and other
counties havo a hundred-fold greater
acreage of stratified mines than arc now
worked, but their development Is retarded
by thu trunk lines of railroad, which tap
thu surface-wash ores, neglecting thu
mining district of Sugar nnd Nittauy
valleys, which contains superior hematite
ore between tho limestone, and in jmying
quantities, certainly yielding fifty per cent,
of iron In a blast furnace, and that too, of
n 1 quality, for tin phitu stamp iron or tho
finest wire, etc. And in Clearfield and ad
joining counties westward wu havu ores
in plenty to cheaply feed several Cambria
or Johnstown iron and steel works. AVhat
is needed ate railroad facilities the ore is
there. Respectfully, yours,
James Wolfenden,
Lock Haven, Clinton Co., Pa.

A COAL MINE CAVES IN.
Much excitement was caused at Centra.
1 In. on the lSth inst, by the clrcluatlou of a
report that the surface over the workings
ot I,. A. Riley & Co'sCollicry hnd caved in,
taking a tenement house witli it. The colliery
olllclals were promptly notified, nnd Supcr-
ntemlent Edward Reese hurried to the
scene anil found largo cracks opened on
tho surface around the dwelling of Recso
Davis, which had already moved a foot
out of place, causing tho plaster to fall in
nearly all tho rooms. Mr. Reese says that
a pillar of coal commenced to break, caus
ing two breasts to run into one, und hav
ing no support for twenty-llvo yards made
It unsafe. The house might go down nt
any moment, mu assures extend over
thu surface forty yards to another tenement
house, occupied by George Cope, Evans
Williams and George Madara, all of whom
havu moved out.

invitation.
Stra V-jers art: invited to visit
our storo, when in Philadel
phia, to leave: packages there,
and to make, a convenience
of it generally. It is a handy
place, right by the new City
1 1 all, at the very center of the
city. It answers our purpose
to welcome you, and to pro
vide for such of your wants
as we can.
The store is about twice
as large as it was two or
three years ago ; made so by
c"kr'ng under ground and
building overhead, and by ex
tension on Chestnut street.
Parts of the store are about
as comfortable as any place
can be; and one of the most
comfortable parts is now be
ing got ready for the rest and
refreshment of strangers.
One of thu pleasant thines
about the store always has
been the fact that you can
walk all over it, either alone
or with n guide, without ever
being asked to buy a thing.
We know very well that most
of you come to ns for a good
share of your supplies; why
should we spoil your visit by
intruding goods upon your
attention, when you come to
sec the place ?
But perhaps you arc not
coming to Philadelphia just
now. Very well; take a cool
er time. It's cool enough in
the store, when you get here.
You can write for any goods
that you may happen to
want; and get them, proba
bly, just as well as if you
were on the spot. Any how,
you know, you can return
whatever you get that you
don't like.
We sell more sorts of
things tlmn we can put into
an advertisement. So, what
ever you want, suppose you
drop us a line. We'll help
you if we can.
