United States Trewary Department,
aod it if aid that important, if not
Beu&itional development, may be ei
peeled in that quarter we long, for it
has not been the custom lieretolore to
keratinize the accounts of dubuning
officers. 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

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.

Some alarm was felt at the White
House the other day at the discovery
that the latliB and rafters, in tho south

thought that the mansion was In danger

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

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

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

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

Wasmkotojc, July 25. 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 greatest good

EEFOBE THE INTEK-STATE COMMlS'IOK.
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. A whito man unacoom

Mr. Brown gubmited a motion to dis
miss the case. Both sides submitted
printed briefs and the hearing ended.
Defendant's briefs are two in number,
the first maintaining the right of a rail
road to classify its passengers on the
color line; 'the second discussing the
question of jurisdiction. The com
plainant's brief, admitting the right of

duty of the railroad to furnish equal

A Boy1! 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.

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. Any who
would liko to read its last annual re
port, or aid its work by gift of funds

PiiATES
Just the tiling for picnics and
private parties, neat clean and
cheap; avoids the annoyance of
broken and lost dishes and nap
kins; no weight to carry. 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.

For the interior finish of fine
