C, who was consecrated on last Sunday wk. was presented with a purse of f 1,000 by his congregation, but he de clined to accept it and advised them to turn it over to his successor for the ben efit of debt of the church. He said he came among them with nothing and pre ferred to take nothing away with him. The injunction cases of the Common wealth against the South Pennsylvania, Beech Creek and Northern Central rail road companies, came up for argument in the Dauphin county court at Harris burg, on Tuesday last. Attorney Gen earl CasHidy asked for the appointment of an examiner, for the purpose of tak ing testimony, and after some discus sion by the counsel on both sides the Court appointed John II. Weiss, Eaq., Of Ilarrisburg, the Commonwealth to occupy ten days and the defendants five days before the examiner, so as to have all the papers and testimony ready by Tuesday. October 20ih, when the argu ment? will be mada and the cases ended. The private fortune of (ueen Victo ria is entimated at twenty-five millions of dollars. Notwithstanding h r pos session of this enormous wealth she has always taken good care when one of her sons or daughters was to be married to ask Parliament for a liberal grant of tuoney out of the taxes of the people as a marriage present or subsidy, and she always got it because it was in accord ance witn loi.g established precedent, although on some occasions a vigorous protest was made against such a method of compelling the English people to do what the English (ueen ought to do herself. She always meant business sna hus always looked out for her own interests. The corn crop of the country is now beyond the reach or ii:ji;ry from froEt, and is estimated at two thousand mil lions of bushels the largest ciop t-ver raised. More tlin half tha amount, something over eleven hundred millions of bushels, has been raised in the five States of I.iwa, Illinois, Missouri. Kl sas and Nebraska, the estimated piodHct of each teirjr as follows : Ica, ii'J", 000,000 ; Illinois. J:t-1,(K0,000 Missouri. 180.000,000 ; Kansas, ls,oj,000. Nebraska 137.Ono.OW. Ohio and Indi ana follow cKse upon Nebraska, the yield of the former beiog put down at 132,000,000 buHbels and the latter at 120,000,000. Corn and not cotton is now the King crop of the country, and it can be used in a greater variety of forms as food for man and beast than any other product. There does not seem to be the ghost of a chance for Mahone?s ticket in Vir ginia, he ided by John S. Wise for Gov ernor. Leading Republicans all over the State are announcing themselves in favor of Eitzhugh Ee, the Democratic candidate against Wise. Col. Hives, late chairman of the Republican State Committee, has written a long letter giving the reasons why he will support Lee in preference to Wise, and J. Am blei Smith, a former Republican mem ber of Congress from the Richmond dis trict, says he will support Lee with all his heait, because Mahone has basely betrayed the old Itepublicaus and viola ted every pledge he made when they formed a coalition with him. In addi tion to this and much more of a similar character, a Slate Convention of colored men met at Lynchburg on Wednesday last to define their jiosition in the con test. We will most likely know before going to press what was done at the Convention, whether it endotsed Lee or put up a candidate of its own, either of which declarations would be fatal to iiahoneand his ticket. A son of James Pollock, who was elected Governor by the Know-Nothing party over Bigler in 1S,4, and who has held office in Philadelphia under the general government ever since ltGl un til a year or two ago, was removed last week from a fat poeition he held in the U. S. Mint iu that city by Daniel M. Fox, who was recently appointed Super intendent by Mr. Cleveland. We be lieve the removed officer was appointed by his 'ather, the ex Governor, when he himself was Superintendent of the Mint twenty-four years ago. and that he has held his office ever since with a brief intermission. Aud yet the old man is represented as being very indignant over his son's removal. This veteran officeholder forgets that when be was reinttated as Superintendent of the Mint in ls0 by Grant, from which po sition President Johnson had removed hiro, he turned out of their places with out a moment's warning every man and wotuau who had been appointed to places in the Mint duiing Johnson's Administration. Old Mr. Pollock's idea seems to be that when a Republi can gets Into office he has a righi to hold on during the period of his i ::: ral life. He is. however, teginoing learn iu his old age that this is a win-take. A reunion of the veterans of Gen eral Grant's old regiment, the Twenty first Illinois Volunteers, took place at Neoga, in that State, on the 23J of Sep tember. Colonel Fred Grant, who was present, was given a very hearty recep- i tion. In response to requests for a speech the Colonel said : "I do not I ir '..nd to make you a speech, for I have 1 ween trained as a public talker. I -.v.- here a document that I would like I i -ad to you. It is the last line writ j ten by my father upon matters pertain j lng to the war, and has never before been made public. As he entered into the war with you for his first compan ions and as he always spoke of your reg iment with affectionate interest, it is fit ting that vou should be the first to bear his parting words. This is what he wrote upon the slip of paper I hold here: 'I feel that we are on the eve of a new era, when there is to be great har mony between the Federals and Confed erates. I cannot stay to be a living witness to the correctness of this proph ecy, but I feel it within me that this is to be so. The universally kind feeling expressed for me at a time when it was supposed that each day would prove my last seems to me the beginning of the answer to "Let us have peace." The expressions of these kindly feelings were not restricted to a section of the country nor to a division of the people. They came from individual citizens of all nationalities ; from all denomina tions, the Protestant, the Catholic and the Jew, and from the various societies of the land scientific, educational or otherwise. 'Politics did not enter into the matter at all. I am not e gotistic enough to suppose all this significance should be given this matter because I was the ob ject of it. But the war between the States was a very bloody and a very costly war. One side or the other had to yield principles they deemed dearer than life before it could be brought to and end. I commanded the whole of thd migfity host engaged on the victo rious Bide. 1 was, no matter whetner deservedly so or not, a representer of that side c: the controversy. It is a significant and gratifying fact that Con federates should have joined bo heartily :n this spontaneous move. I hope the good feel'.r inaugurated may continue to the end.' " A general amen went up from the veterans and the meeting adjourned. TriE Republican State Convention of New York met at Saratoga on Tuesday of last week, and nominated Ira Daven port, of Steuben county, for Governor, and Joseph B. Carr for Lieutenant Gov ernor. The Democratic Convention met at the same place on the following Thursday, and nominated David B. Hill, the present Governor, who was elected Lieutenant Governor with Cleve land as Governor three ye:rs ago, and who became Governor when Cleveland resigned a few days prior to the fourth of March. Roswell l. Flower was nominated for Lieutenant Governor, but resigned a day after the Convention had adjourned, and the State Commit tee in pursuaree of authority vested iu it, met at New York on Tuesday last and filled the vacancy by nominating Gen. Edward F. Jones, of Broome county, who was a soldier in the late war and has an honorable record. As usual, the Republican papers are dis counting in ad van."" il result or tne "Action iii November in the Empire stato and confidently predict Hill's de feat, but no man knows anything defi nite about it. Gov. Hill received nearly al! the votes in the Convention on the first ballot, and that is conclusive evi dence that he enjoys the confidence of his party throughout the State. Tam many Hall voted unanimously for him in the Convention its followers are a unit in support of his election, and that counts heavily in a Nw York cam paign. There are so many uncertain political elements in that State that enter into the calculation of the ulti mate result, the Prohibition strength being one of them, that no prudent pol itician even in that State itself will stake his reputation by forecasting the outcome. As every one knows it is a a close and a very uncertain State and the only prudent thing that can be said about the result in November is that the result is as apt to be in favor of one party as the other or, in other words. It may be Hill or it may be Davenport. Ex -Governor IIovt gave John Sherman a piece of his mind at Hazle ton, Luzerne county, last week, in an address he delivered at the unveiling of the soldiers' monument at that place. He boldly denounced Sherman's attempt in the present campaign in Ohio to re new eectional strife, and declared that the cause for which the soldiers had fought was won that the entire country now accepted the result and that the only questions remaining are matters for the local governments. Mr. Thom as, of Catasauqua, Lehigh county, who is also a strong Republican and is largely interested in the iron business in Ala bama, was present and heartily approved Gov. Hoyt's address, adding very em pha?ie;ii y that Sherman's bloody shirt speeches will do more to hinder prosper ity in the South for Northern capital than any or all other causes combined. If Iloadly is elected Governor of Ohio an next Tuesday week John Sherman willbe the man who brought about that result. Considerable anxiety exists in cer tain quarters to know whether the clerks at Washington will be allowed to go home and vote at the Ohio election, which will take place on next Tuesday week. It is safe to say that the Repub lican clerks will not insist upon exercis ing the right of suffrage under the pres ent Admit-istration, but will stay where they are and draw their salaries. Mr. Hensel, Chairman of the Dem ocratic State Committee, and Conrad B Day, the Democratic candidate for State Treasurer, visited the north-eastern portion of the State last week and held consultations with many leading Democrats at different points in their journey. On Monday they were in Pittsburg, going from there to the oil region and reaching home on yesterday. The Temperance Centennial. In this city, New York and elsewhere, the present week is devoted by the total abstinence associations to a celebration of the centennial anniversary of the temperance movement in this conntry. As Dr. Benjamin Rush, the celebrated physician, moralist and philosopher, was at the head of this movement, there is great propriety in associating nis name with this centennial anniversary. But it may well be doubted whether many of the prohibitionists who are en gaged in this celebration are aware of the position of Dr. Rush on the temper ance question. Whilst he ably argued against the pernicious effects of indul gence in spirituous liquors he was not an aquarian or prohibitionist by any means. In a tract giving an account of the German inhabitants of Pennsylvania he commended their habits of temperance, saying that "very few of them ever used distilled spirits in their families, theii common drinks being beer, wine and cider." He appealed to the citizens and the law makers of the country to learn from the wealth and independence of the German inhabitants of Pennsylva nia to encourage "the republican vir tues of frugality and economy." Asa proof of the Rood effects produced by the writines of Dr. Rush against the use of ardent spirits for drink, it is re corded that at the festival in this city on the fourth of July, 1788. to celebrate the ratification of the Federal Constitu tion by ten States, ardent spirits had been excluded, American beer and cider being the only liquors used. Dr. Rush was too great a philosopher to engage in an irrational and fanatical movement to banish the use of spirituous or malt liquors by legislative enactments, but there Is no doubt that he accomplished more good for genuine temperance re form than, all the prohibitionists that ever lived in this country. There is, accordingly, good reason for associating his venerable name with this anniver sary. The friends of temperance have just cause to congratulate themselves on the great progress which their movement has made within the present century. Although grossly exaggerated statistics are produced to prove the contrary, the people of the United States from being one of the hardest drinking nations are becoming among the most sparing con Bumersof Bpirituoua liquors. When Dr. Rush began his attack upon intemper ance whiskey and rum were regarded as among the necessaries of life, and were "almost as free as water." In farm labor ardent spirits were a regular daily ration. It is related by writers of the period that "in the country clergy drank as bard as their parishioners; that women and children joined in the rev els ; and that it was no more uncommon to meet a tipsy clergyman than it was to see a woman or half-grown boy stag gering from an overload of spirits, or a farm hai.d lying blind drunk by the roadside." In Pennsylvania there were in 1790 no less than 5,000 stills in opera tion in a population of 434,373. or one still for eveiy eighty-seven of the inhab itants. As a proof of the great change in the drinking haDits of the people as advo cated by Dr. Rush and other temperance reformers, it is shown by official statis tics that the consumption of ardent spirits in this country during the first decade of this century averaged four and a half gallons annually to each head of the population. The consumption of spirits for drink has gradually declined from that time, unl i! now it does not much exceed one gallon annually for each inhabitant. The total amount of spirits produced in this country and im jorted for consumption in 18)0 was 8!t. lS.t'.41 gallons. From tliis must be de ducted an export of 3,004 088, which leaves 8'3,34,rr.7 salons for domestic consumption. If 2."i,000.000 gallons be deducted for use in the arts and manu factures, there remained Gl,304.Gi4 for consumption for drink. In 1884 the total amount of liquors retained for do mestic consumption ar.d imported was 6s.W7,474 gallons. If 12 per cent, of mis be deducted for the arts and manu factures. G0,rr)0,G0o gallons remain for drink. In other words, 31443,321 in habitants of the United Siates consumed in 1S0 more spirits for rtrink than ('', 0Xt 000 inhabitants consumed for drink in 1884. These f.ct. loricate a wonderful change in the drinking customs and tastes of the people of this country since the temperance movement was inaugu rated bv Dr. Rush and his coadjutors in 1785. Whils the consumption of whis key is steadily declining, the us of beer and light, wines increases. Iri 18G0 the amount of domestic wine ii.-du?ed in the United States was l,8G0.GO cadons. and in 1884 the total winp rroduotion of the country was 17,402,03$ gallon-;. In the former year the country:s total con sumption o:' malt liquors amounted to 10l,34G.G09 gallons, and in 1884 it was 500.016,517 gallons. It can hardly be disputed by the most fanatical advo cates of prohibition that this change in drinking customs from fiery spirits to iight wines and beer is the proof of a substantial temperance reform. Whilst the earnest, efforts of rational ad vocatesof temperance have done much to promote this reform, no credit for it can be accorded to the legislative prohi bitionists. The tendency of their ef forts, wherever partially'successful, has been to arrest this practical reform. By putting beer and light wines under the ban of prohibitory legislation they en courage the consumption of whiskey. In Maine, Kansas and Iowa they have supplanted the saloon with the drug store for the sale of spirits in various deleterious disguises, and have banished the less hurtful beer and wine. This was not the method of temperance re form advocated by the philauthropic and philosophic Benjamin Rush. Phil adelphia llecord. The Delaware County llecord, a Re publican paper, is making it quite lively tor Quay and Chairman Cooper at the eastern end of the JMate. In reference to Quay's achievement ai a member of the Pardon Board in putting through the pardon of Kemble, the llecord says : After a long and exhaustive trial, in which Mr. Kemble was defended by the ablest counsel money and influence could procure, he was convicted of the grave crime of corrupt solicitation of the members of the Legislature and sen tenced to one year's imprisonment. Be fore the prison doors had closed upon the notorious criminal, application was made and giauted for a few days' grace wherein to settle up his business affairs ; when he promptly tied the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth to New Jersey. Whilst a fugitive from justice Kemble declared that Quay was to have secured his pardon in advance of his sentence, from the Pardon Board, and only agret J to return to this State on a promise t'.at be would be pardoned after a few h jurs' incarceration in jail. He was so incar cerated, and in less than forcy hours thereafter William II. Kerrbfe, convic ted of the high crime of ccrrupt solici tation of legislators, wa allowed to go scot free by virtue of i ie grace and le niency of the I'ardon Board, of which Mr. Quay was a leading member. Our readers will also recfll the outburst of righteous indignat'Oii which ran from one end of the ? to the other when it became knowjgy y't the mandates of the court and tia ' snalties of violated law had been;traged and defied. Every self-respecling citizen, who held In reverence the primal Republican faith of equalitylefore and under the law, felt, and lightfully felt, shamed and humiliate that justice should be thwarted ; the law defied and a danger- J oua convict should be boldly pardoned and turned loose upon society simply because of the corrupt use of political influence. Mr. Quay was regarded as the master spirit of this most infamous transaction, and the one who, more than all others, induced Gov. Hoyt to commit what he afterward declared to be "the greatest blunder of his life." Just at this juncture a Presidential canvass was impending, and the Repub lican papers throughout the State man ifested grave concern lest the popular indignation would swell into a deTeat of the national ticket. To avoid this they, the aforesaid Republican papers, declared with one accord that the party must not be held accountable for the acta of the Pardon Board, as this out rage (the pardon of Kemble) was the set, not of the party, but of individuals Every partisan organ in the State prompt ly unloaded Mr. Quay. The so-called leaders really barna cles of the Republican party, fondly dreamed the people had forgotten all this Pardon Board infamy wherewith Mr. Quav is besmirched, and that upon the basis of bastard cries of tariff ar.d party unity they could manage to whip lash the rank and file into line. But they have not and will not forget the disgrace and humiliation brought upon the party by the Pardon Bjard infamy of 18S0, and they especially remember that the Quay of 1885 is the same ring ster who, after debauching legislators, helped to pardon the very vien whom he had debauched. And this is another reason why the Independent Republi cans of this county and State will re pudiate Mr. Quay, on the grounds that it is never safe, never politic, never wise or expedient to make a State Treas urer from a proven political jobber. The nomination of such a man, with such a record would be utterly impossi ble in any other State north of Mason and Dixon's line, and we greatly doubt if it could be compassed in any State within the realms of the so-called solid South. And Pennsylvanians will never disgrace themselves by the election of Mr. Quay, who is the incarnation of all that . embrxlied in lliot bill rascality, legislative jobbery and I'ardon Hoard in- fartnu. Fearful Freight Discrimina tion. Take, as an instance, a freight bill of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany dated September 4, 1885, charging 48 cents per one hundied pounds, or 59.G0 per ton, for carrying thirty bags of timothy seed from Chicago to Mari etta. Pa., while the rate on that date for grain from Chicago to Philadelphia was ten cents per 100 pounds, or 2 per ton. Marietta is eighty-nine miles nearer Chicago than Philadelphia is, but in this instance a purchaser paid there $7.00 a tou more for the freight. Of course, a line should be drawn be tween carload lots and others that are less than carload lots, but there can be no justification of a distinction which makes Marietta pay almost five tiroes as much as Philadelphia for a shorter haul. At times during the last three weeks the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has been contracting in Chicago tocirry grain to New York for from forty to eighty cents a ton less than it charged on shipments from Lancaster and other grain centers in our State. This infor mation comes from the office of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and is confirmed by their published announce ments of rates. The Company carried grain from Chicago to the seaboard at less than two mills per ton per mile, while it charged the Lancaster county farmers two cents per ton per mile for the same class of freight. It exacted ten tunes as much per mile from Lan caster county shippers as from Chica go shippers. Under such a condition of affairs Is it any wonder that the Western States are progressing in ar",!?u!!'r?'. dcrviupe ment, while i-ennsyl vania is falling to the rear? How could anyone expect farmers hrive in this State while a giant - ... ration, controlling the legis lative branch of our government and reg ulating nearly all our channels of trade, deliberate'y sets itself to work to ex tort every cent that the traffic will bear, taking advantage of the helplessness of the local shipper, defying all restraints and shamelessly asserting the doctrine of the road agent that "business is stronger than 1 a w?" Philadelphia Jlecord. Of Agnes Jenks Once More. Agnes Jenks, who acquired notoriety through bercomplicty with John Sher man and other visiting statesmen in th manipulation of the vote of Louisiana in the winter of 1875-77, has been often in Washington since that time. Her husband. Captain Jenks, was given a place in the Pension Office as a reward for their Louisiana work. Captain Jenks has been kept in Government position by the Sherman influence ever since. To-night, Mrs. Jerks is out with a circular attacking a Mrs. Gardner, who has a daughter employed in the Assignment Division of the Interior Department. Mis. Jenks accuses Mrs. Gardner of having stolen the affections of her husband and having broken up her family. After reciting various charges against Mrs. Gardner, of a character that would hardly do for pub lication in a newspaper, Mrs. Jenks closes her pamphlet by saying : "I go to rcy mother's home with rny child to begin anew and face alone the battle of life, but I go not in silence as my husband did. Let the curse of a ruined home and the wreck of a once happy family rest on those who were its cause. I did my duty well and have naught to regret in the past, but I grieve that in the future my young son must re alize as I do the ignominy of his fath er's action."

At a meeting of the Board of Health at Montreal on Saturday it was stated that there were known to be 3,000 cases of small pox In the city of the most virulent type. Over one hundred dwellings and stores were closed on Sunday by order of the Provincial Board of Health. This was brounht about by the detectives employed to ferret out cases. The deaths to-day were forty-four. There were 230 deaths during the week. On Sunaav last while about to enter a hotel in Abingdon, Va., Judge George W. Ward, Commonwealth Attorney for Wash ington county, was fired upon by Dr. W. N. White, Independent candidate for State Senator, who was In ambush on the oppo site side of the street Ward Tell, filled with buckshot, but recovering on his knees, fired three shots from his pistol at a young relative of White. White and two relatives then shot Ward eight times. Ward will die. His assailants were arrested. The greatest Socialist meeting, about which so much has been said and which the police threatened to suppress, was held at limestone, London on last Monday with out interference on tho part of the authori ties. Fully forty thousand persons took part in the demonstration. The speakers indulged in violent denunciations of the present state of society, but no undue ex citement was displayed by the im mense audiense and the affair passed off in the most peaceable manner. The police Itept carefully out of siRht of the meeting. The policy of the authorities of making no display of force had, it is thought, much to do with the absence of disorder. At Cottonwood Point, Mo., on Friday nigbt two intoxicated strangers got into a dispute and had a rough and tumble fie tit over the weight of a bale of cotton but were separated by the bystanders. Shortly after the men renewed the fight and matually agreed, In order that neither should have an advantage over the other, they should clasp their left hands together and fight only with their right hands. Thus arranged each man with a revolver in his rigbt band began the bleody work. Seven shots were exchanged and one of the men fell dead witn four bullets in his head nod t reast, while the other sank to the ground bl- eding and dying from two or three desperate wounds. On r 'urday at the fair grounds at .cston, W. Va., Tom Montgomery's ild-cat was pitched into a cage, eight by ten feet, with three vicious dogs, one at a time. The cat whipped all three in from one to two rounds each. Finally a thirty pound bull-dog, owned by Policeman Foley, of this city, was put in the cage with the cat. Several passes were made by the cat, but the dog avoided the strikes until such a time as he could make a spring. As soon as he had a chance the bull-dog eprang upon the cat, caught bim by the throat, threw his body into such a shape as t prevent the cat ripping him with his front feet and then killed the cat in four minutes. The cat bas killed ten dogs In the past year. The cat weighed twenty-five pounds. The ablest snake story of the season comes from Henderson, Houston county, Georgia. It was a race between a fleet footed dog and a black snake. Tbe dog cbased the snake three quarters of a mile down the lane. "It's a long lane that never turns" and the snake appeared In good spirits. Just at the end or the lane the snake made a sudden tarn and found its bole under the bottom rail. The snake . went down the hole head first, when the dog seized it by the tail. Tbe snake was prepared for tbe emergency, and gave up it outside covering of skin, which peeled off as easily as the skin of a roasted potato.
