Tlio Board of Pardons which was
In session this week at llarnsburg, did
not act favorably on a singlo caso pre
sented. Ono is held under adviso
moiit. Two of the men connected with tho
assassination of Lord Cavendish and
Kir. Hurko in Dublin, havo turned
states cvldonce and their testimony
seals tho fato of tho conspirators. Tho
plot seems to have been tho work of an
organized party. Numerous arrests
arc expected.
Kirs. George Harold, tho mother of
David Harold, who was hanged at
Washington,!). 0., on July , 18G5,
for participation in tho assassination of
President Lincoln, died Saturday of
nppoplexy. Sho had been nn invalid

having never fully recovered from tho
shock which it occasioned to her nerv
ous system,
The Supremo court has finally set
declared S. Davis Page, tho appointee
of the Governor, tho legal controller.
Tho city councils elected V. M. Tag
gart, tho court decided against him and
lie appealed to tho Supremo court, with
tho above result.

The Hoods in the west arc subsiding,
and they havo left a terrihlo scene of
desolation behind them. "Whole towns
havo been inundated, and tho receding
waters have left thousands of families
homeless. Houses were washed away,
lives lost, and millions ot dollars worth
of property destroyed. Tho condition
of things appeals strongly to the sym
palhies of the whole country, and it is
likely calls will be made for help be
fore the homeless ones can bo provided
for. No such Hood has been known
before in this country.
Tho caso of George W. Drum, an
ex-member of the legislature, charged
with fraudulent collection of pension
claims by forgery came up at Hazleton
on Tuesday before U. S. Commissioner
Hill. When counsel for complainant
stated that tho failure of tho assistant
U. S. district attorney to bo present
and also the failuro of tho United
States treasury ofllcials to furnish the
original documents, claimed to havo
been forged, made it impossible to pre
sent their case. Drum's counsel there
upon asked for his discharge, and coun
sel for complainant interposing no ob
jection Drum was discharged and tho
case dismissed.
Star Boaters Doomed.
nEnnr.t.L's bevelatioks
The testimony of Iterdell, who was
a secretary of Dorsoy's, iu tho Star
Route trial now going on at Washing,
ton, settles the guilt of tho defendants.
Rerdell was on tho stand on Monday
and said :
I' had a conversation with Attorney
General MaoVeagh in 1881, and went
to New York to get tho original books
for that officer. Met Postmaster Gen
eral James on tho way. Arriving in
New York, went to the Albemarle Ho
tel, and saw S. W. Dorsey in his room.
Dorscy was in bad health, and witness
noticed that he was very much excited.
He immediately commenced by saying
that he (witness) had turned traitor to
him, and had been holding interviews
with the Postmaster General and tho
Attorney-General. Witness also be
came excited ; did not remember what
was said subsequently, except that Dor
sey requested him to return to the room
when he had dressed, but witness said
nothing and did not return. After
wards Dorsey pleaded, for ihe sako of
his wife and children and for himself,
in the narao of their friendship and
business relations, that he would not
go back on him. He implored Rer
dell for God's sako to reconsider any
thing he may have done, and to take
no step further uutil he (Dorsey) saw
him, and much more in the same strain.
In answer to the Court the witness ex
plained that the affidavit referred to
was one supposed to have been made by
witness before Messrs. James and
MaoVeagh. The witness went back to
the conversation with Dorsey, at tho
hotel in New York. Dorsey said lie
was perfectly informed of every step
taken in Washington, and knew that
Rerdell had made an affidavit beforo
James and MaoVeagh. Ho wanted to
know what ho meant. Witness told him
his action was in his (Dorsey's) behalf;
tho newspapers had been attacking him,
and witness had done it to help him.
Dorsey got excited and said, damn it
ho didn't want to hear anything fur
ther from him. Thoy quarrelled and
witness was much excited.
There seems to bo no hopo whatevor
for Brady and Dorsey. The testimony
is ao overwhelming agaiuBt them that
nothing short of corrupt or ignont'iit
jurymen oan possibly save them. It
does not seem probablo that any of tho
jurors can bo approached successfully.
Tho risk is too great and the lessou of
tho other jury ought to bo a warning,
and doubtless will be. There are tvo
or threo members of the jury who
know about as much about Star routes
and mail bags as they know about tho
moon. What thoy will do cannot, of
course, bo surmised ; but it does not
seem possible that any ono of them can
mistake tho plain evidence in this case.
The defendants appear very much de
jected. Their counsel, too, aro in ill
humor, with tho exception of Colonel
Ingcrsoll. Ingorsoll is trying the bluff
game. Ilia weapon is ridiculo and ho
tueeU tho testimony of Rerdell with
sneers. Ingersoll is making a draper
ato fight, and how any Judge can put
up with hii contemptuous ways in the
court room is past understanding. A
severer Judge than Judgo Wylie would
have committed Ingersoll for contempt
long ago. Bat sneers and ridicule do
not work. Tho prisoners aro begin
ning to understand this, and aro begin
ning to see that tho outlook is any
thing but bright for them. Sinco Rer
dell has confessed tho greatest interest
is taken in the trial and the court room
la crowded,
tled the point as to who is tho Con
troller of Philadelphia by sustaining
the decision of the lower court which

Needed Legislation.
Tho present Legislature could do no
wiser act than to pass a law prohibit
ing certain county offices from being
filled moro than ono term by tho same
person. Tho Constitution prescribes
that tho sheriff and county Treasurer
shall not hold two terms in succession,
but leaves tho field openfor Commis
sioners, Prolhonotary, and Register
and Recorder. Tho result is that, as n
general rule, the officials spend quite as
much time i.i laying ropes for a second
or third or fourth term, as they do in
transacting tho public business. There
docs not appear to bo any good reasons
why this distinction should be made
between tho offices of Sheriff and Treas
urer, and tho other county office..
The scramble for position might as well
bo mado general as to be allowed in all
but two instances. It is too often the
case, in many counties, that tho entire
court houso" machinery is kept in mo
tion to keep in placo thoso who aro al
ready in, or to put in -those who can be
used to tho best advantago by men who
want their assistance. It is a gamo ot
"you work for mo, and I'll work for
you," and in this way public officers
who are supposed to be the servants ot
tho people,become tho masters, and can
prolong their official careers almost in
definitely, or at least until tho people
become tired of such management, nnd
revolt against it. Tho only way to
prevent this, is to put nil county otlices
on nn equal footing, and thus avoid all
necessity or opportunity for wire pull
ing and rope laying for re-election.
A Falsehood Corrected.
From the Lancasttr Intelligencer.
Tho Press which has been proving
itself big enough to print tho news and
broad enough to tell tho truth, allows
an "Invisible" correspondent, writing
from llarnsburg, to say in its columns
that a committee ''appointed to ascer
tain whether certain house officers
could be dispensed with," "reported
that all were absolutely required, and
thoso held in abeyance were sneaked
in by piece ineal,and to-day they aro all
in, except two sergeant-at-arms, who
will be in plenty of time to pet full sal
ary,'' and upon such allegations as this
ho concludes that the cause of reform
at llarnsburg is hopeless in the demo
cratic houso and has only a chance in
the republican senate. Now the facts
aro just tho reverse. Tho houso did
dispense with a dozen officers allowed
by law and not one of them has been
sneaked in nor filled in any other way.
The senate, on the other hand, has fill
ed its full quota. Every officer elected
by the democrats has to do his work in
person, and, as even the Press corres
pondent admits, one who was unfit for
his position had to resign and was nei
ther allowed to hire a substitute, or shirk
his duties. This is a condition of things
that has cot prevailed at Harrisburg for
many years before.
If the J'ress wants further evidence
of tho sincerity of the democratic house
in the work ot reform it can nnd it in
tho dispatch by that body of legislative
business, which la further advanced
than it has been any time for ten years
at the same period of the session. Tho
appropriations committee, which is even
moro liberal than its chairman- or the
house, has already acted on forty-one
out ot sixty-seven bills before it, and
has cut down the amounts asked for
$1,201,354.
The New Postal Laws.
MANY ESSENTIAL CHANGES MADE.
Tho Postoffico Department has
amended section 37i of tho postal
regulations in accordance with tho re
quirements of the 3,010th section of
revised statutes, so that certain essen
tial chances have been mado. Tho
effect of these amendments is as lol-
lows : "Freo county newspapers may
bo forwarded to any other office in tho
county where printed, without addition
al charge, but in order to forward suoh
papers outside of the county they
bIiouUI be accompanied with postage
sufficient to pay the transient rates
theron,''
"When a regular hubsoribor to a
newspaper removes from tho delivery
of n poatollico tho postmaster should
adviso him that it is his duty to notify
the publisher of hischaugo of residence.
The postmaster should, in tho absence,
of instructions to forward, accompa
nied with tho transient rato of postage
therefor, or other instructions, except
in cases of county newspapers, forwar
ded to an office within tho county, no
tify tho publisher that tho paper is not
called for."
Postmasters aro to understand by
those amendments that hereafter no
natter can be forwarded in the mails
after it reaches its original address
without a now payment of postage-, ex
cept letters which havo ono full rato
paid thereon, namely, threo cents, and
newspapers or other periodicals which
aro to bo forwarded to subscribers from
one postoffice to another which is in
the same county, where the paper is
published and in wholo or part prin
ted. Whon matter of tho second, third or
fourth classen has been inadvertently
forwarded with the payment of the ad
ditional postago required, it is to be ra
ted up only with tho amount due, there
being no double postage charged in
those cases. When a request is sent to
a postmaster to havo letters forwarded
to a now address, drop letters, fully
prepaid, bearing tho card of the writer,
should bo immediately returned to tho
writer giving also information to tho
changed address.
"Ihe above rules are obligatory upon
postmasters who are left with any dis
cretion in the premises whatever. No
newspaper or postal card can bo for
warded aftor it has reached its original
addruss, but goes direct to tho dead le t
ter oflice.
Judioiary Apportionment,
The Judiciary apportionment bill
which was agreed to fn tho committeo

last Saturday, liy this bill this district,
which is now tho Twenty-sixth, is mado

The Illinois Disaster.
Seventy miners were overwhelmed
by n laud slide al ISraidwood, Illinois,
on tho 10th inst. Tho country there
abouts is a level prairie, with a slight
inclination toward tho mine, and heavy
rains had transformed it into a lako for
miles and miles. Without warning,
there appeared nn opening in tho earth,
and water poured into tho mine, drown
ing nil who wero unable tp get out nt
once. The initio wa3 constructed by
sinking a shaft seventy-five- feet per
pendicular and diverging into two
main galleries. Running horrizontally
from these main galleries narrow spurs
or gangways aro dug out in vntious
directions, rising and falling with tho
ledgo of the coal, sometimes coming
within twelve teet ot tho surtacc. ft
was at such a point near the top where
tho break occurred.
A 1'IT of PKvru.
While lying on his back picking
away at Ids coal above, the earth must
havo fallen on tho hrst victim, nnd
through this opening tho water poured
in. Thcso galleries wero low and nar
row, and tho poor victims could escapo
only by painfully slow crawling.
There was littlo time to spread an
alarm, for iu less than an hour every
avenue of escape was choked up and
every occupant of tho mino at that
timo must havo been drowned. No
uoiso accompanied the rising water, and
the first indication of coming danger
the doomed men received was water
trickling along tho pathway where they
lay at work. There is not tho slightest
hopo of finding any of tho men alive.

The Judicial Distriot
Tho Wvomina Democrat publishes
the following interview with Hon. R.
R. Little:
Tho following is tho substance of a
recent conversation with R. R. Little,
Esq., in reference to tho last, and the
now pending judicial apportionment
bills. Wo said to him: "I observo
that you bavo been recently mentioned
as tho 4 father ' of tho la9t judicial ap
portionment bill, by which an addition
al law judge was imposed upon Judgo
Elwell'? district Whether such was
the fact or not, I do not perceive its
force as au argument against the pro
posed attachment of Wyoming to Sus
quehanna as n new district at this
time."
"Nor do I : but tho truth is that I
have no right to claim tho distinction
of having controlled tho action of nn
ad verso legislature, Republican in both
branches, upon this, or any other im
portant public measure."
" Will you give me au outline ot its
history!"
" Certainly. Tho new constitution
imposed upon the legislature at that
session tho duty of re-distiicting tho
whole btate. Tho bill which became a
law was framed and passed by the
Senate. In shaping the several dis
tricts, it seemed difficult if not imprac
ticable to provide for .Montour county
without attaching to Judgo Elwell's
district. The Senate so attached
it, and provided for an additional law
Judge. In that shape tho bill camo to
tho House for its concurrence. 1 am
now satisfied that it would havo been
better, even then, notwithstanding some
local opposition, to havo detached Wy
oming lrom the district so lrnmed, and
attached it to Susquehanna county,
in which event no additional Judge
would havo been needed. But at that
timo neither the Susquehanna Judge or
the Wyoming Bar wero willing to ac
cept such nn arrangement. There was
no cxpicssion ot lay sentiment upon the
question, and as no other practicable
courso seemed to be open to us, wo
passed tho Senate bill. It would seem
that I am hardly entitled to claim its
paternity."
"Was there not another change
made in tho bill later iu tho same ses
sion 1''
"Yes-, one, however, not affecting
tho question of public expense, or of in
adequacy of population, sinco it merely
divided tho double district composed of
iho lour counties into two single dis
tricts leaving to cacli Judge his sep
oralo held of labor. Ono of tho most
difficult questions under the now const!
tution was whether tho Legislature had
power to attach several counties to
gether each containing less than 40,000
inhabitants, and supply a district so
formed with two or moro Judges.
Very soon after tho passage of tho bill
wo wero informed that a test caso was
about to bo instituted in tho proper
court involving tho constitutionality of
our district as a division ot our
double headed district into two single
districts would obviato all doubt upon
mm question, a bill lor such purposo
was introduced, I think, by a member
from Bradford, and passed by both
branches.
"Would it not havo been bettor to
have avoided tho difficulty by attaching
Wyoming to Susquehanna, instead of
making a district containing scarcoly
half tho population contemplated by the
constitution t"
" Whether it would havo been belter
then, or not, I think it would certainly
bo better now. I will not say that tho
reasons then urged in favor of tho bill
were without merit especially tho fact
that the business of our court had been
for 30 voars graduallv fallinir in arrears
It was, perhaps, well enough to provide
a littlo district for a slnglo term to
wind up the old business. This having
been accomplished, I am awaro of no
good oxouso for retaining tho district,
and such opposition as is now being
exerted against tlio proposed attach
tnent to Susquehanna is oviJently,
largely, u not wnoiiy, a manufactured
opposition.
Death of Bobeit A. Packer.
Robert A. Packer, of Sayrc,Bradford
county, died at his winter residence
nenr Jacksonville, Florida, on the 20th
inst. Ho was n son-in-law of Col. V. E.
Piollett and ono of tho Democratic Stato
Executive Committee. Ho was tho
clilcst son of tho lato Asa Packer, the
surviving members of tho family being
Harry E. Packer, who was recently
elected to the presidency of tho Lehigh
Valley railroad company, and Miss
Mnry II. Packer. Robert A. Packer
was about lorty yoars of age. Ho was
tho president of tho Pennsylvania and
Now York canal nnd railroad company,
nnd the Geneva, Ithlca, and Sayro
railroad company. Ho was a director
in the most of tho other companies con
nected with tlio Lehigh Vnlloy system
and was intimately identified with all
of tho largo Interests in which his father
was engaged. In 1880 ho was the
democratio candidato for congress from
tlio Fifteenth district of this state, and
was defeated by a largo majority by
his republican opponent, Cornelius 0.
Jndwin. Mr. Packer started for Jack
sonville about a fortnight ago to recu
perate his health, which has lately been
poor. Ho was accompanied by his
wife and Passenger Apent Byington,
of tho Lehigh Valley railroad company.
Other friends were on the way to join
him, having been informed Within the
past few days that his condition had
becomo critical.
The Revenue Bill.
For years tho people of this country
havo been loaded down with taxes
which havo only served to place a large
surplus in the treasury for the republi
can party to recklessly nnd extrava
gantly disburse. At length the clamoi
for a reduction of revonuo became so
great that the republican party was
compelled to pay somo heed to it. Ac
cordingly at the last session of con
gress, after great promises had been
mndo of seventy-fivo million reduction,
a bill was at length presented from
committeo reducing the revenue about
!... ..ill-. 1 .
sixteen minions uy removing tno tax
from cosmetics, matches, patent medi
cines and bank checks.
Tho bill was such a contemptible
sham that tho democrats refused to
permit it to become a law, much to tho
satisfaction of tho republicans who felt
sure such action would make party cap
ital for them. Their exultation was
short lived, however, for the pcoplo at
the polls last November endorsed the
courso of tho democratio majoiity in
congress.
With this fact to faco tho republican
majority was compelled to make anoth
er pretense at revenue reduction at tho
present session, although many mem
bers of the majority wero opposed to
cutting down tho surplus in tho treas
ury, preferring to permit tho people to
suffer so that they might havo a chance
to vole away the surplus funds in jobs
of extravagances. Tho bill presented
was only another sham and was defeat
ed by the honest republicans and dem
ocrats. The republican majority has over
reached itself by attempting to bo too
smart, on this question ns it has done
on tho tariff bill.. There has been a
continued and unscrupulous effort made
to use measures ot great public impor
tance in tho interest of party. No re
gard has been paid to the demands and
necessities of the people and no honest
effort mado to meet them These have
always been secondary with tho repub
lican party.
Tho suffering from heavy taxes
which will now continue will not like
ly permit tho people to forget how
shamefully their interests have been
trilled with and neglected. J'atriot.

Silver-plated Ware.
The fircat improvements during the
laDt few years in the manufacture of
tilvcr-platcd ware, have in many
ways increased the desirableness of
this excellent substitute for solid silver.
Not only has great durability, been
obtained by the new methods, but
pattern and finish, which formerly
betrayed the difference between it and
silver, now give jio clue by which even
an expert can distinguish.
Clumsiness of shape has given way
to the lightest and most artistic forms,
nnd the production of a meritorious
pattern in the solid metal is quickly
followed by its appearance In the less
costly material.
Even such elaborate decorations as
repousse and hammered work long
confined to solid silver are success
fully produced in plated ware with a
delicacy and beauty leaving little to
be desired in respect of appearance.
It is, however, only in the higher
grade of electroplated ware that these
excellencies of the designer are at
tempted to be wrought out, such per
fection of workmanship and dainty
finish being impossible in the inferior
varieties, in addition to the vital defi
ciency of these in durability.
Dailcv, Hanks & Diddle limit
their assortment to the best makes,
which they can fully guarantee. Par
ticulars will be furnished promptly as
to patterns, qualities and prices, on
