March 25, Miss Ladora Ashleman,
aged 14 years, 1 month and 20 days.
It is with peculiar feelings of sad
ness that we chronicle the early death
of one whom we had learned to love
and whose prospects for the future
were so flattering. When twelve years
of age she received the solemn right
of confirmation and was admitted
thereby into full membership of the
St James Reformed Church. Sur
rounded by the hallowed influence of
Lrodly parents and early planted into
the house of her God, she developed
a commendable Christian character.
Being intellectually bright and highly
endowed with the talent of drawing,
she was a very promising daughter.
Her parents fondly cherished the hope
that some time she would be an
artist. "Man proposes but God dis
poses." Her mortal remains, which
were beautiful in the sleep of death,
were consigned to their last resting
place in the St. James Cemetery where
many of her kindred lie, in hope of a
glorious resurrection. A. H.

dar are being worked for very Indus
triously by their enterprising projec
tors, with a hope of eventually securing
ineir nnaj passage. Among those that
are being pushed by their framers are
what Is known as the FrencH salary
bill. By the provisions of this measure
the salaries of county officials are to be
based on what is believed to be a more
equitnble basis. It provides that the
state be divided Into counties of first.
second and third classes, etc., and that
In a county having a population of over

each, and auditors 1500 each; this to
constitute a county of the third class.
In a cuunty containing over 100,000 and
less than IjO.000, the salaries of the
county officials are to be as follows
District attorney, 14.000; sheriff, JS.000

coroner, $260. The bill also provides
that all fees collected by county of

to be turned over to either the county
or state.
The nnmllton Koad Bill.
The Hamilton road bill Is now recelv
Ing special consideration and Is growing
In popularity The objections that have
been made to it in some of the country
districts have now been met when a
comparison is made between the ex
penses Incurred in the operation of the
present law. By a careful Investtga
iion 11 is iouni tnat the Hamilton, or
senate bill No. 9, will effect a saving
to the taxpayers of $320,831, because
the present system of supervision costs
for the salaries of 3,230 supervisors an
average of $150 each annually, which
makes a total of $484,500. The Ham
ilton road bill would allow to each
supervisor only $54 for the supervision
of each township. In Pennsylvania
there are 1,538 townships, making the
total cost of supervision under the
Hamilton bill $S3,052, while the salary
of the treasurer of the board under
this same law cannot exceed 5 per
cent or the money tax collected, and
may be fixed at a little lower sum.
The entire road tax in Pennsylvania in
lWi amounted to $3,622,708. By the
Hamilton bill one-half of this sum
would be payable In cash. If the maxi
mum sum of 5 per cent were allowed
u would make the salaries of all the
treasurers of the boards of supervisors
in the commonwealth $75,667. This sum,
added to the supervisors' salaries,
would amount to $158,619 as the total
cost of supervision for the state under
the Hamilton law. Thus it Is plain to
be seen that, instead of Increasing the
tax on the farmers, a saving would
be effected of $325,881. The present sys
tem of taxation for road purposes costs
la -io per cent for road supervision,
while by the Hamilton law it would
cost only 4 3-10 per cent, thereby saving
p i-iu per cent to tne taxpayers.
ihe owners of bicycles are very much
exercised over the introduction of a bill
to Impose a tax on each bicycle In the
commonwealth, the proceeds of which
are to be used for the improvement of
the public roads. They are bringing
very considerable pressure to bear
against the passage of this bill, and
they have very Just ground for com
plaint. They claim that, by the present
wasteful and extravagant system of
roadmaklng, no amount of money ex
pended would be of much benefit to
the public roads of the state. They
say they are not opposed to the pay
ment of a tax on bicycles If the state
had any systematic system of imnrnv.
Ing the highways that was in any way
In keeping with Judicious and substan
tial improvement, but unless there is
better system adopted they will
contend bitterly against imposing any
tax on their wheels.
Klootrlo Lljtht Legislation.
Blnce the Introduction of th
light there has been a dltumum
among the members to legislate in
respect to fixing the price of thi. n.
luminant. Several blllB have been In
troduced recently which, if they be
come laws, would drive this v.tm
of lighting out of the market. Sut-h
ljBlslatlon as this has a tendency to
elioek the introduction of improve
ments, which is greatly to be deplored.
The committee of public grounds and
buildings of the house. In their report
to Speaker Uoyer in reference to the
special message of Governor Hasting
concerning the necessity for legislative
-uiioa proviaing ror the erection of a
capitol building, claim they find that
the commonwealth of Pennsylvania is
pracucany rree rrom debt. They as
sert that existing provisions for th
sinking fund will redeem all of Its out-
Bianaing oougations as they mature.
In view of this they recommend that
rue siaie is justifiable in the expendi
ture of not less than $1,000,000. but not
to exceed this amount, for the erection
of a new capitol building. It looks now
as if this will be the amount that will
be eventually agreed upon. In their
report this committee recommend that
in oruer 10 provide ror the propoHed
expenditure by taxation a silent in
crease on the existing rate of corpora
tion mx, ine enactment by law of a
succession tax on inheritance of every
kind above a moderate figure, and a
tax on beer.in article of luxury and of
very generafuse, would provide ample
revenue for the raising of the amount
required to build a new capitol within
the next two years. They also recom
mend that action be taken speedily to
secure the srsction, completion, decora
tion and furnishing of a fireproof cap
itol building, to be ready for occupancy
by the time the next legislature con
venes. Interest In tho Coming Election.
There Is very considerable Interest
taken at the present time strung the
Republican members In reference to
the candidates for state treasurer and
auditor Keneral. and while James ,
Beacon, of Westmoreland county, has
a number of friends who are anxious
to have blm secure the nomination,
yet K. H. Shlndel, of Tork, Is growing
rapidly In popularity, and It Is thought
will muster a good force of delegates by
the time the convention meets.
The Wanamaker people are anxiously
awaiting on his decision as to whether
he will be a candidate for state treas
urer, and if he consents to enter the
race they will combine their efforts to
secure his nomination.
Of the candidates for auditor general,
Mr. Oobln Is apparently much in the
lead. General Gobln's excellent war
record, his wide acquaintance over the
state and the great popularity he en-
Joys, as well as his special fitness for
the position, alt combine to give him
great prestige In the caovass. How
ever, the friends of Mr. Hardenberg
are actively working In his Interests.
From present Indications this prom
Ises to be a most Interesting week In
legislative circles. One of the first sub
jects to receive attention at the next
meeting of the senate will be the dls
position of the case of Dr. Swallow,
who has refused to give Information
to the committee of Investigation con
cernlng the capitol fire.
From the efforts of Dr. Swallow, as
sisted by a number of mechanics and
others In the Inspection of the ruins
of the old capitol building, he means
to be prepared for the contest that
awaits him.
There were no bills reached the gov
ernor during the week, but a number
will be sent to him during this week.
There la now some doubt whether
there will be a holiday taken to at
tend the dedication of the Grant mon
ument on the Zith of the month, as
a large number of the members think
that they have no time for any more
holidays If they expect to adjourn in
any reasonable time.
Many C'nndldate for Governor.
Almost every week some new as
pirant for the governorship of Penn
sylvania Is announced. The number
now In the field would aerage at least
one to each county In the common
one to each county.
The remarkable feature is that each
and all are in dead earnest, and are
not working In the Interests of others.
This is regarded as a very healthy
condition in state politics, and it is
thought will result in the selection of
a candidate that has no special po
lltlcal affliatlons.
These bills passed finally In the house
during the week: To punish the loan,
gift, sale or distribution of Immoral
writings, etc., and of all drugs for
criminal purposes; punishing the send
ing of anonymous communications of
a libelous, defamatory, scurrilous or op
probrious nature; granting the permls
slon and regulating the establishment
ana operation of bone boiling estab
lishments and depositories of dead ani
mals; amending the act of April 9, 1870,
to require telephone companies to file
annual reports with the secretary of
internal analrs; to provide for the lay

race or intervening land or lands to

erals underlying adjacent land or lands,
necessary ror the turning of wagons
and teams; repealing the act relative
to road laws In Peters township, Wash
ington county; appropriating $200,000 to
provide for the deficiency in the fund
for the care and treatment of Indigent
Insane; providing bounties for the de
struction of wildcats, foxes, minks.
hawks, owls and weasels: providing
for the making of a sworn copy of book
accounts kept by any common carrier,
railroad company, chartered, storage or
transportation company, or other pub
lic corporation doing business in this
state, prima facie evidence in any suit
or action In which such accounts are
Involved In an lnue.
The following bills were defeated:
To create a state bureau of sreolotrv
and mines; providing for the accept
ance of the provisions of the act of
April 4, 187S, relative to the Incorpora
tion and regulation of Insurance com
panies and its supplements, by cor
porations organized under the laws of
this state, and authorizing reinsurance
by such companies; giving author
ity to Justices of the Deaca to hear nH
determine certain criminal offenses and
misdemeanors by the aid of a Jury.
ums wnics May be Ueoonsldcrod.
The bill to fix the medium school
term at seven monthB, and the Bmlth
Ubel bill, which met with defeat a few
weeks ago, will doubtless be reconsid
ered this week. One of the most Im
portant measures Introduced In th
house during the past week was a bill
of less than a dozen lines in length,
and yet one of very considerable im
portance to the city of Philadelphia. It
provides for the abolition of the pres
ent public buildings commlmlnn

former session to wipe out this com.
mission, but the supreme court de

ground that it embraced two subjects.
