It is really email wonder that gnch Icxwe methods have often led to official croolcedneBK, aa in the cases of Macon 3ud Ilaryey. rhe Inter-stale Commission has taken emphatic and important action on the motion of the JlHftOan i acme 1 tail road to dismiss the complaint of the wholesale grocers of St, Louis, as regards the issuing of mileage tickets the corporation urg ing that the commission had no juris diction, but the latter body declined to take immediate action until the results of the caw had been fully discussed. The commixiiou announced that its purpose and policy will be to grant a full and prompt bearing to all causes submitted to lie decisions, and that dilatory motions and legal quibbles and technicalities will not be permitted to unneceMarily binder the progress of business. THE CANDIDATES, Cyrus Ii. McIIeory of Fishingcreek was nominated for Associate Judge by a large vote, there being but little op position. Ha has already shown his fitness lor the tosition, having been on the bench by appointment of the governor since January. He is well known through the country as a man ol sterling integrity and sound lads'. ment, and his nomination is a credit to the party. William IL Snyder received every vote in the convention, there being no other candidate for the office of Pro- thonotary. He has made an efficient officer and the second term was very properly accorded him without oppo sition. Geo A. Herring, nominee for treas urer, went through on the first ballot with Kme to spare. Ho was treasurer of Schuylkill county one term, and has acted as deputy treasurer of this county for several terme, and is therefore thoroughly familiar with the duties of the ouice. Charlei IL Campbell, candidate for ivegisier anu uecoruer, is a gentleman of pleasing manner, and possesses all the necessary qualifications for the office. He has had large experience in business affairs, and is a good account- anu William H. Girton of IJloomsburg anu Jesse Kittcnhouso ot Heaver, nominees for county commissioners, seem to have shared almost equally in popularity, there being a difference of only half a vote between them on the firf-t ballot. They ran far ahead of all their competitors, and the large vote shows that the party has confidence that they will perform the duties of their resiionsible office fairly and honestlv. E. JL Tewksbury of Catawissa, and J. . llartman ol fishingcreek, nomi nee b for auditors, are competent men, ana me puouo accounts will be care fully scrutinized by them. 'J here is no charge of any unfairness in any of the nominations, and the whole ticket will bo elected by the usual majority. WASniMQTON LETTER from oar ltevular correspondent, Wajuikutok. D.

At the Wli ite House, it is not ye-t known what other summer plans the President haij arranged only tho At lanta visit in October having been positively decided upon but, I do not think lio can refuse assent to the im portunities of St. Louis, Louisville, and other western cities. Some alarm was felt at the White House the other day at the discovery that the latliB and rafters, in tho south ern portico were decayed, and it was thought that the mansion was In danger ot a coiivpsp, but an examination has dispelled all fear, as only slight repairs will bo necessary to stay tho defacing uaou oi nine.

In reply to a great number of in quiries, the Commissioner of Pensions replies, that, under the .Mexican .Ten sion Act, pensions can be paid from the date of the passage of the Act, Jan. 29th, 1887, only when pensioners were sixty-two years old previous to that date ; in the exceptions to this rule, the payment will begin on the day when the pensioner is 62 years of age, unless in cases of dependence and disa bility. The becretary of the interior has won additional claim to the admiration of the fair sex by the important ruling that married women have the right to enter and buy timber and stone lands nnder the laws governing the sale of such lands in several of the States and Territories. There was no surprise in the Interior Department when the resignation of the chief clerk of the Patent Office who is one of those so-called "indispensable'' Republicans, holding office nnder a uem'icraiic vumiuistrauou, was an nounced, through the Washington newspapers either suppressed or were profoundly ignorant of the real reason which was the Chief Clerk's relation to the Bacon defalcation it being the former's duty, under the law of the United States, to examine the accounts ot the financial clerk every month, and certify whether or not they are correct. And the Chief Clerk regularly certified to the correctness of the financial clerk's accounts, for four years the latter being a defaulter all of that time. And no sooner is the chief clerk shown the door than he essays the difficult task of "white-washing,'' his corrupt ; -. - ' t . 1 awociavo in umce 11 in Doming more. There is no doubt but what the various Departmentsareliterallyhoney combed with Republican rascals and thieves who should be sent on with Forger Harvey, who will serve his couutrytwelve years in an bumble capacity at Albany. In one of the De partments, a certain prominent hold over Republican, has been so urgent in insisting on the destruction of some official papers that he has been placed uuuer surveillance as a suspect, oecauso such great solicitude must be of much significance cither to this individual or to his associates. Most men are content with holding one office, bat I know of several, whose ambition cannot be bound in such narrow limits, and as my intelligent friend, the reader has divined, these gentleman are almost invariably, Re publicans, as a good Democrat is gen erally satisfied with ono office. I was led to these reflections by contemplat ing the easy grace with which the lion. Carroll D. Wright, holda the Federal office of Commissioner of Labor, to which he was appointed in 1885, by Arthur, and the State offise of Cora missioner of Labor in Massachusetts. Washington Beal Estate. SFXItKT Ur WIIITNRr'H PROMTS OK O It A 93- I.ANKS. a dutch woman on the 1IOOM. from the Washington Capital. The most interesting bit of gossip afloat in club circles during the past wee is a report to the effect that Secre tary Whitney hag within a fortnight disposed of Graailands to a wcalhy Southerner, realizing somewhat over 80,000 by the sale. This farm has proved a most happy investment on the part of tho Secretary of tho Navv. who purchased it rather moro than a year since Tor less than $30,000. Early in the spring tho strip of land lying between Tennallytown road and tho privato road leading to Grasslands was sold for the sum of $37,000. Among the strangers who camo to Washington some two weeks biiicc. drawn hither by tho accounts published far and wide of tho real estate boom, was an cnthueiastio New Yorker, who. having matured his idans before start ing, brought with him drawings of a suburban inn which he proposed to erect as soon as a suitable Kite should havo been selected. After driving about the outskirts of tho city looking at numberless lots urged upon him for inspection by real estate agents, the New Yorkers choico fell upon a piece of ground in tho vicinity of the Soldiers' Homo. Tho owner of tho property is a uutoii woman, wno a lew years ago paid 9z,vvu lor it, immediately tnero after erecting upon it a small shanty, from which she dispenses beer and bretzels to the soldiers for a moneyed consideration. Aftor making several good offers for tho property, each of which was in turn rejected, the xsow Yorker stated his willingness to give 810,000 for the property, which was only desirable in point of location. This offer was scornfully rejocU-d by the old woman, who Bays shu has been watching ma progress ot tho boom with interest and is assured that eru tho lapse of another twelvemonth uho can resllzo double that amount for the property, which two joars ago sho pur chased at one fifth of tho sura now offered.

The recept ion of the St Louis delegation by the president this noon was one of the pleasantest affairs of the sort that have occurred at the White House during the administration. The day was of the hottest, and the St. Louis people, clad as they were, in their best clothe?, looked moist but good humored. The president's appearance was also of the same description. The procession moved slowly up the asphalt walk at frecisely noon, amid a forest of palm eaf fans and sun umbrellas, and filed upstairs into the library. There they all, to the number oi eeventy-hve, shook hands with toe President. Mayor Francis made an appropriate speech, formally inviting the president to visit fet. iouis tne urn week in October. The president made a vcrv happy speech in reply, accepting the invitation amid vociferous applauie. Some informal confercure as to details followed and a number of pleasantries were exchanged.

The iofer-statc commerce commis sion on Saturday gave a hearing in the case of William IL Council against the Western and Atlantic railroad. Coun cil is the colored man who, having pur chased a first-class ticket, charges that he was refused permission to ride in a first-class car and was forced to go in to the smoking car. Julius U. lirown, the railroads law yer, interposed some objections to the admissions of certain depositions, and during brief discussion which ensued Mr. Brown stated his purpose to enter a motion to throw out the complaint upon the ground of lack of jurisdict ion, this being, he asserted, merely a claim for damages. The chairman in reply said that the commission would not sit here to try any mere question of damages, bnt this was much more. Here were charges of unjust discrimination against a class of citizens. If there were such a case it.ougbt to arise upon facts which are open, public and notorious, and there ought to be no difficulty in regard to them. The objection being overruled, the charges and response were read. The gist of the railroad's reply is that the complainant went into a ladies' car in debance ol the rules ol the company and icfused to go into tho other car, and that it was the passengers and not the train men who assaulted him. The answer admits the duty of the company to furnish eqnal accomoda tions far all first-class passengers, but it claims the right to classify passengers either by the color line or otherwise. After the reading of a number of depositions Mr. Council was sworn. tie is an intelligent-looking colored man, well dressed, self-possessed and of good address. He is a minister of the gospel and principal of the State Normal school a. Huutsville. In reply to inquiries by counsel be t Ad the story of bis ejection from the car in which ho had taken his seat. He entered the car without objection on the part of any one. lie was told by some one whom ho did not recognize as a train man, that he must go forward, to which ho paid no attention. Hei was finally approached by two men, ono of whom carried a lantrn, and the other bad his hand upon his hip pocket. The man with the lantern seized witness, hit him over the head several times with tho lantern, cutting hU head bad ly and breaking tho glass. Witness appealed to the passengers, but with out avail. His assailants then seized and carried him into tho forward car. This car was very filthy and was full of smoke. As he was being pushed from ono car to the other tho brakeman told him this was what ho got for not mov ing when requested. Counsel for the respondent opened his side of tho case by rea ling a ser ies oi oppositions, iroin ono by a passenger named Whiteott, tho follow ing appears to havo been tho stylo of Mr. Council's invitation to change cars: "I walked forward to tho front end of tho car and told Mr. Bivins, the Hag. man, that I wanted his lantern a min ute. I took it out of his hand then turned and walked back to where Coun cil was sitting, and told him thcro was to bo no moro foolishness; that I did not want to hurl him, but he had to go. Ho replied very insolently that ho would not go, and then J grabbed him by tho collar and struck him over tho bead with the lantern. I knocked him out of his seat and pulled him out to gether. Ho fell on the floor, and a ho raised up ho camo toward mo and I let him have it again with tho lantern. I hit him several times with tho lan tern before I conquorcd him, and then rushed him right out of the car into tho darkies' oar. Ho was willing to go by tho titno I got through with him.'' Tho conductor of tho train won sworn and testified in substnuso that the colored ear on that trip wai similar in construction nnd appointment! to tho ladies' car, exospt that ono end was partitioned r.ff for a smoker, and was In a littlo butter ooiidition. If a white man should enter tho colored car, witness would request him to go out, and if ho refused witness would mako him go.

Suicide- Quit an excitement was created on Monday evening, July 18th, in the neighborhood of the Bryn Mawr hotel by the suicide of Allan Hart, eldest son of Mr. Hart, bead gardener of tho Bryn Mawr grounds. He was about sixteen years of ate, and until recently was in the employ of Mr. Allick at the hotel as office boy, but. owing to some offence was discharged. Since that time he has been assisting bis father in the grounds. It seems that he was the iwnei of a very handsome Newfound land dog, to which he was very much attached, ion would never we one without the other. In consequence of advanced years, and no doubt the in tense heat, he died very suddenly at ten o'clock, Monday morning. From that mcment the ooy became Bullen and morose. He personally superin tended the burial of the dog, but his demeanor was that of one who had suffered an irreparable loss. At seven o'clock in the evening, supper time, he appeared to have recovered his equa nimity and was in much better spirits. He left the hotel suddenly, and in a little while, when the family were sit ting on the porch, a sharp report of a pistol was beard, and the father, with the family, rushed to the spot, where, just behind the barn, poor Allen was found lying, weltering in his blood, a pi'tol Bbot in the head,and lying across the newly-made grave of the dog. Great excitement prevailed. Drs. F. IL Andrews and W. S. Savery were summoned, to find life extinct. Tho boy was placed on a settee aod carried in the house, and it dampened the spirits of the merry ones engaged in the hop in progress at the hotel. Recommendation of State Committee.

Commissioner. 1' Deli 5ewt Items- A terrific thunder storm did much damage in Philadelphia last Saturday. The death of Henry M. Stanley, tho African explorer, was reported last week, but the report is not credited. Another terrible fire-damp explosion occurred at Wilkesbarre last Monday, by which three men were killed. Lightning struck a powder house at Streaton, Lis., last Thursday, and one hundred persons were injured by the explosion. Delia Bent cliff, a beautiful young girl died on Wednesday night of last week at Bridgeboro, N. J., of hydro phobia. Almost half a hundred horses per ished in a fire which broke out in Fleischman & Co's stable and bakery iu New York city last Monday. Oscar J. H&rvey, the Treasury De partment forger, plead guilty and was sentenced to twelve years imprison ment at hard labor in the Albany Peni tentiary. A Great Movement- According to the statistical report of the Sunday schools in the United States rendered at the late International Con vention held in Chicago, there has been an increase in the t-cholar membership of all the Sunday schools iu the TJ. S. since 1884 of 305,015. It is interest ing to know by what agencies this in crease has been secured for it shows that a great missionary work has been done to bring an army of 305,000 into active membership with our Sunday schools. No more important work can be conceived of, for it baB to do with the destiny of our entire country. The three last Annual repoits'of the American Sunday School Union, the old undenominational Society "that cares for the children" who are pro vided for by no one else, show that since 1884, it has brought 185,034 chil dren into 4,947 new Sunday schools, a number equal to 5000 moro than one half of all tho increase reported as hav ing been secured by this and all titber agencies during thrse three ye3rs. But this American Sunday-School Union did more' than this -It aide'd 1,825 othfr schools, which have -10,774 teach ers and 515,711 fcholars, so that in these three years it reached 9,872 com munities and Sunday school, and 700, 748 children, and youth, and then re aidtd and revisited these schools 9,215 times, besides making 92.581 visits to families, supplying 15,019 deUituto persons with the scriptures and holding 27,247 religious meetings. That there is great need for moie of just such work in our country, is evident from tho fact that according to tho Inter national Secretary's report there are but 8,034,478 scholars "in the lJnited States, that report to this convention, which the Chairman of tho Executive Comraitteo said was five per cent, too smalL If five per cent, were added, we havo 8,43C,201 scholars in all our Sunday schools. But the statement was made that 20 per ct should be de ducted for those over 21 and under six years of ago and thojo who attend moro than ono school and are counted twice ; which deducted would leave 0, 748,901 children and youth of school age in all our Sunday fclmols, while there are at least 9,000,000 moro chil dren of that :ign in our country, and ery likely most of them alien I no Sunday ncho'il. Truly tho American Sunday School Union is doing a great work, for present and futuro America, for which mere is most urgent need.

These paper plates are largely used for pie baking, and overcome the objection some people have to pies because the under crust is Oggy; the greatest degree of heat will not pcorch them and by greasing them a pie may be baked on them better than on tin or earthen ware; the under crust will be found perfectly hard and crisp similar to the top. Napkins are soft and pliable as linen and will not fade unless washed. i Hardware. We carry the most complete line of Builders' materials in the Country.
