Cait. Manton, United States Con

Judge Thurman arbitiated the dif

The Democratic State committee on
Tuesday, sajs the Pittsbur; rost. nom
inated Henry Meyer. Esq.. of this city,
for Auditor General. Mr. Meyer stands
high here at home in his party and with
his political opponents. He is thorough
ly welt qualified for the position, and
will make a good roo. Whether Le gets
there or not it is quite certain that Mr.
McCamant will haye to hustle to beat
him, and the red-haired and hypocritic
al Republican chairman will need to
marvbal his cohorts to the test of his
ability.
Mr. Meyer ought to be elected. The
office of Auditor General ia an import
ant one. It has been in the control of
the Republicans for a good many years,
and it ia time there was a rotation and
change in that office. We had a pretty
general overhauling of Capitol nill
when Mr. Pattison was Governor and
Mr. Africa Secretary of internal affairs,
but even at that time the Treasury and
the Auditor Geueral's cilice were in the
bands of the Republicans, and were not
weeded out as all departments should
be. There may be nothing wrong in
that department of the State Govern
ment, and then there may be.
We believe that Mr. Meyer can be
elected. He is a fine specimen of man
hood morally, mentally and physically.
He is perfectly adapted to the task of
overhauling the Auditor General's de
partment, and administering the office
in the best Interests of the State. He
is not known as a practical politician,
and is not a chronic office seeker, but be
is a man of affairs, a representative of
the young Democracy, as Governor
Pattison was, with a pleasing presence
that wins friends everywhere by He
frank, earnest honesty.
Allegheny coubly will do its duty by
him. It will give him a rousing good
vote, comprising the solid and harmo
nious Democracy, with a very respecta
ble Republican contingent. If it did
less than this it would not do half its
duty. And the prospects are that the
rest of the State will get out more than
an off year's vote for him. In fact.
Democracy is blooming in the old Keys
stone State this year, and baa a buzz
saw that is not safe to monkey with.
It bas a righteous cause to fight for,
and that is a big element of strength in
a ilght. In Mr. Meyer it has a good
candidate to fight for, and thereby Is
strengthened.
The 1'ost bespeaks for the candidate
nominated on Tuesday the best efforts
of every Democrat in the State as a man
worthy of their franchises and good
wishes. And it bespeaks for him the
vote of every honest man in the State
Whether he be a Democrat or not, con
fident that such votes will not be mis
placed. And the Post believes that
there are a great many honest men in
this State, not strictly Democrats, who
are going to vote Democratic tickets in
the interest of good government for the
people.
The Republican Senate having re
jected the treaty with Canada which
was believed to be a fair and equitable
adjustment of the Fisheries question.
President Cleveland on Thursday of last
week sent a message to Congress and
the Senate recommending a plan of re
taliation. It came upon the Republican
Senators like a thunderbolt from a clear
sky and completely dazed them. They
rejected the treaty from purely partisan
motives, intending to cbaige the Presi
dent wllh neglecting to protect Ameri
can interests in Canadian waters but tte
President has taken them at their word
and asks of them the power to retaliate
on the Canadians. If they grant his
request and be rails to protect our In
terests then they may have some cause
to complain. But the reeponsibility is
now on the Senate to sustain the raLri
oiic position of President Cleveland, or
bow in humble submission to British
influence
Tbe Canadian question briefly stated Id
this. Our fishermen have been subjected to
all sorts of annoyances, tbe greatest or which
Is tbe refusal to allow them to ship their fih
free of duty. It was a disputed Question
whether they had a right tinker the treaty of
Washington, which baa expired. At all
events they have no such rights now. That
Is plainly ahown.
To settle everything peaceably a com mis.
slon was appointed to draft another trpatv
Meanwhile the Act of 1387, known as the re
taliation Act, was passed, giving the Presl
aent power in case of provocation to sus
pend all commercial relations with Canada
Supposing that Article 29 was still la force
Mr. . Edmunds led bis artisans Into i
declaration against any new treaty, claiming
that all that was necessary was to enforce
our rights. Article 29 Is dead, consequently
mere la nothing left for Mr. Eamonde
base bis claims upon. Do bas releeted the
new treaty and has refused to suggest any
amendments that would be satisfactory to
Dim .
Negotiations with Canada are now aff
Tbe Tresldent bas done his best to settle
all
questions by arbitration. The Senate bas
defeated this, and be now meets tbe Senate
face to face on its own ground.
Chairman Quay, says the Cincin
nati Enquirer, baa been advised to take
Mr Blaine in charge and keep him from
running away from tbe Republican plat
form. That ia too big a job for Quay.
While Republican journals bave been
circulating misrepresentations about
tbe situation in the Democratic Cam
paign Committee the Republican organ
ization has been at loose ends. Mr.
Quay, the Chairman, seems to be the
least influential person in tbe party
establishment. lie was against any
tinkering with the tariff in tbe Senate,
but was overridden. He was in favor
of rt-cogniz ng the Mahone element in
Virginia, but was overwhelmingly
voted down. And now there seems to
be a conspiracy to get bim politically
entangled with Blaine, and killed.
The people are now paying J130.000-,
000 annually for tbe privilege of contin
uing a prohibitory tariff. This large
amount of money is extracted from the
pockets of the people on necesaarta of
life. It ia tlGO.000,000. remember,
more than every legitimate demand for
running he Government. Thia money
is simply robbery. It is the penalty for
continuing the Trusts. It is a premium
to prohibitory tariffites. It benelta tbe
, manufacturer at the expense of the
j farmer and tbe consumer.

The Message and the SltaaUoa.
The masterstroke of public policy
achieved by f he President last week has
a moat important party effct,but is not,
on the President'" aide, of partisan ori-
8,Secretarv Manning, as well as Presi
dent Cleveland, early In the present ad
min ietrattoo wrote vigorous State papera
on tbe fisheries dispute, and united in
predicting that unless diplomacy was
successfully invoked to terminate the
difference between tbe United States
and England's North American Domin
ion more radical measures would neces
sarily be resorted to.
Tbe fisheries treaty was rejected by
the Senate for no other conceivable rea
son than to prevent tbe advantage that
Democrats would derive from tbe set
tlement of so important a qaestion by
President Cleveland. It is true that
fault was found with some of the pro
viaiona of the treaty aa agreed upon, but
it was within the power of the Senate
to pass amendments securing the re
moval of any objectionable features.
Tbe Senate exercised such power In
the ease of tbe Chinese treaty when 'it
was politics" to do so, and tbe amend
ments thus made were the occasion of
the postponement of tbe actual operation
of that very bappv solution of a danger
ous auestlon. But the Senate, which
amended for partisan motives in one
case, refused for similar reasons to even
take amendments under consideration
ia tbe otbei case, thus making contra i
dictory records on similar matters with
the sole purpose of "putting Cleveland
In a hole."
But the President was not made the
victim of the Republican plot to fasten
noon bim the blame for the contiuanee
of British annoyance to our commerce
and fisheries. In bis message be com
pletely turned the tables by the coura
geous discharge of a manifest duty.
He asked an extension of tbe power of
retaliation conferred upon tbe Execu
tive, to that, if Canada continues to
Impose upon our citizens, punishment
upon tbe unneignnoriy uominion may
be inflicted without injury to Ameri
cans.
Any suspension of intercourse regard
ing tbe fisheries or of direct commerce
between Canada and tbe United States,
would necessarily inconvenience Ameri
can business. i3ut Canada bas long
enjoyed, through our good nature, tbe
privilege of transporting in bond across
our territory goods taken for through
shipment by Canadian transportation
lines. In this way tbe British bave
nearly absorbed the trade, via America,
between China and Japan aod Europe ;
and there is no reason to suppose that
tbe English lines would soon monopolize
that important commerce, because their
routes are shorter than ours, tbe dis
tance over any of them being nearly
1,200 miles less than that of anj United
States line.
Senator Gorman ot Maryland explain
ed this matter very fully in tbe debate
which occurred la the first week of this
month. Few foresaw that tbe heated
discussion of that day would be but a
prelude to an exciting agitation in
which all the people of the United States
would be engaged.
In the field cf party politics tbe force
of the President's position Is simply
this : Tbe Republican campataru on the
cry of Democratic subserviency to Bri
tish Interests Is silenced. There can be
no more flaunting of the Union Jack in
the face of American voters to induce
their suffrages in favor of the Republi
can party. The American flag is now.
in tbe sight of all, as it ever should be,
the symbol of Democracy. It is the
Democratic President wbo Hands for
American rights against all comers, be
the consequences.wbat they may. It is
tbe Republican party that exercises the
Senatorial veto power to prevent the
vindication of American equality with
Great Britain and to cripple the author
ity of our Government to compel justice
to its citizens living abroad or engaged
in pursuits that take them beyond our
borders.
The question is complicated as well
as Interesting, and must furnish food for
niucu discussion durinsr the eamDairn
Tbe issue of tariff and taxation will not
be dropped, but the people will realize
that Democratic administration if run
ning upon i.s recoru, and that every
thing President Cleveland and his ad
visers have done in matters of Impor
tance is to be lasen Into account in
determining bow votes shall be cast on
Election day JV. 1'. Star.

The President's message to Congress
oesires legislation wnicn shall give tbe
Executive nower Mto suioend bv nrrj-ia
mation tbe operation of all laws and re
gulations permitting the transit
goods, wares and merchandise in bond
across or over tbe territory of the Uni
ted States to and from Canada." The
snarls which come from Canada tell how
hard tbe Mow falls there. Senator Ed
munds' only recourse ia to charge incon
sistency, to befog the subject and to de
clare that the President already bas tbe
power to retalitate.
So be bas in one way. He can en
force the Act of 1SS7. it is true. The
Act denies Canadian vessels en
trance to our ports and is so sweeping
that its passage alarmed the grain States
of tbe Northwest. That Act would not
retaliate. It would injure the United
States fully as much as it would Canada.
Tbe President's plan is to strike at
Canada directly, aud last year's Act
does not give him tbe power be asks.
The twenty-ninth srticle ot tbe treaty
of Wasbington made reciprocal the
right to transmit goods in bond. Tbe
mistake that Mr. Edmunds baa made all
along Is tbe supposition that that arti
cle is still in force in spite of the fact
that the treaty itself bas expired". The
President clearly shows that that article
is dead. Then why can be not deny
Canada the right to land goods at Port
land, Boston and New York free of du
ty? Because on the 28th day of July.
18GG. an Act was passed which reads as
follows :
All merchandise arriving at the ports of
.New lork, Boston. Portland, in Maine, or
In any other pert specially designated by the
Secretary or tbe Treasury, and destined for
places in tbe adjacent British provinces,
may be entered at the Custom Jlouse and
eonveyed In transit through tbe territory of
the united State without tbe payment of
do tie, nnder such reffolatlons as tbe Secre
tary of the Treasury may prescribe.
That is the reason why. and the Act
can only be suspended by tbe permission
of Congress which Is just exactly what
is asked in the aieesage. It was sup
posed that there was a like law which
gave Canada tbe right to export as well
as import In bond, a right which was
incorporated In the treaty ef Washing
ton. Such legislation nas not been
found, however, and if there is none the
exportation of goods by Canada across
our country must cease. One privilege
which the President desires will thus be
granted without the consent of Mr
Edmunds in fact it will be mandatory.
Tbe legislation which the President
asks will strike Canada to tbe extent of
not far from f 5(1,000.000 a year. About
two-thirds rif this sum comes from im
ports. PAtZ. Times.

Tbe Republicans in Washington bave
not yet recovered from tbe confusion
aod dismay into which they were
thro wby President Cleveland's message
While tbe whole nation rejoiced over
thia firm but moderate assertion ot Its
rights and honor, a few partisan ene
mies of the President busied themselves,
aa they did with the treaty, in vain ef
fort to pick flaws tn it, After taking
twenty four hours to regain their equa
nimity, senators Edmunds and Sher
man undertook to parry tbe blow of tbe
President by asserting that be now pos
sesses in tbe Reprisals Act of 1857 and
nnder tbe Tieaty of Washington all tbe
power be seeks. If there should be any
doubt on this score these Senators pre
tend further that President Cleveland
has only to invoke the Act of Congress
of 1866 authorizing tbe Secretary of the
Treasury to grant, nnder certain regu
lations, tbe shipment of goods la bond
through tbe United States to Canada
as if tbe authority to execute an Act of
Congress granting a certain right car
ried with it the power to deny that
right. If Secretary Falrchild should
use this alleged power to defeat a law
of Congress, none would be swift
er or mors sealous in demanding bis im
peachment than tbe Republican foes of
tbe Administration, and. as be truly
says, he would deserve impeachment.
President Cleveland has declined to
use the power conferred upon him by
tbe Reprisal Act of 187 as long aa
other and better ways of attaining the
end sought in the dispute with Canada
should remain open to bim. One or
these was the fisheries treaty, which
conferred on tbe fishermen of this
country every right they could reasona
bly claim, and which was rejected by a
partisan Senate on tbe paltriest of pre
texts. Tbe other is such an application of
the right of making reprisals upon Can
ada as would Inflict the least possible
injury npon the trade of this country.
For this power the President bas ap
pealed to Congress. It would be poor
reparation to put an embargo upon the
whole trade with Canada, and thus do
more barm to American commerce then
to that of our neighbor. Tbe Canadi
ans would send" their Isb to other mark
ets, as they are doing now. and tbe
New England Fiab Trust would make
this article of food dearer to every poor
man's tabl in tbe United States.
There is no doubt that the Republican
politicians hoped to goad tbe President
into declaring a warfare of trade re
prisals against Canada, and they would
then bave been the first to cry ont
against so wanton and destructive an
assault upon ptacefnl commerce. But
President Cleveland proved too wary as
well as too patriotic to fall into their
trap, and hla Senatorial enemies may
now reflect at leisure upon tbe parable
of Lim that diggeth a pit.
ten.tor Edmunds insists that Article
XXIX of tbe Washington Treaty au-f
thorizing the Executive to suspend by
proclamation tbe operation of all laws
and regulations for the transit of goods
in bond to and from the United States
and Canada is still in force. Tbe Pres
ident, on the other hana. maintains that
this article bas fallen with the rest of
that treaty, and with his accustomed
deference to tbe legislative department
of the Government he appeals to Con
gress for authority to mete out to tbe
Canadians tbe same measure of discrim
ination which tbey give to this country.
It is possible that Senator Edmunds
may Induce a caucus of his Republican
associates to resolve that this XXIXth
article is still in force, and that no
legislation ot Congress is needed by the
President to execute the purpose Indi
cated In his menage. In such case
there would be an end of tbe policv of
reprisals, unless tbe Canadians should,
by future outrages upon American fish
ermen, provoke the exercise of tbeie
taliation Act of 18S7. Resort to this
extreme measure would hardly be ne
cessary, since tbe arrangement of the
modus Vivendi will remain in operation
for two years, and may never De disturb
ed. At all event the President has shown
that be yields to none of his Senatorial
ma'igners in tbe determination to de
fend the rights of American citizens
against Canadian outrages. He bas
snown, too, that while negotiating
treaty ne did not yield one inch in bis
position toward Canada, and that be

The Republican party is certainly in
a dilemma and no one knows this fact
oetier than tbe Republican party itself
-uiruiao vuay, wno is engineering Its
unpopular campaign, bas himself
ly intimated that tbe Republican lead
ers are indulging in too much injudici
ous taia-ing and be bas otherwise
expressed himself in a manner that
gives the impression that tbe "grand
old party" is engaged in its last contest.
After nominating a Presidential
ticket tbe rapidly decaying party of tbe
monopolists shouted that tbe fight
would be between tbe advocates of tbe
present tariff system and the champions
of tariff reform. Then a Republican
Senator made the discovery that tbe
Northwestern States are strongly op
posed to the present tariff and be com
municated this fact to bis brother Sena
ton. For the purpose of overcoming
this trouble the framing of a tariff bill
was suggested and tbe question, to
frame, or not to frame, is still pending.
Of course, this blunder was a biow to
the high protection party, but when the
great and only Blaine, ot whom mighty
things were expected, made his speech
m defense of Trusts. Quay was simply
enraged, and be bas privately denounced
the "Uncrowned King" in langcage
strong and bitter.
Beaten on every aide the grand old
party took up the cry that President
Cleveland was in sympathy with Fogs
land and the President's message on tbe
fisheries question knocks the silly false
hood "a high as Gilderoy's kite."
And now as tbe people would like to
know what will be the next move of the
grand old party of monopolists. China
men and Hungarians. Jlarrisbttra I'tt-

The campaign Mar is at work for the
National Republican Committee. Jnst
now he ia getting up forgeries on tbe
London Times and Spectator in tbe in
terests of the hlgb tariff plank of tbe
Republican platform. Col. Quay is cer
tainly smart enough to know that the
purpose of such work will be over
reached. Democrats baye no fears as
to tbe effect of such forgeries ; but this
work shows that Republicans are willing
now, as they always bave been, to use
any means, no matter bow disreputable
to bring success. With them it is "any
thing to win."

Two bones belonging to Elzy Harris, of
Palmer township, Findlay, O.. were stung
to death, Monday, by honey bees. A boy
was driving tbe horses close to a beehive.
when the bees attacked them, and In less
than 30 minutes both borses were dead. It
seems almost Impossible that a hive of bees
could kill two borses In so short a time, yet
this incident proves tbe fact.

xwentynags containing f so. 000 were
being conveyed by two men In a cab from
one of the London banks recently, when
tbe bottom of tbe cab gave way and all tbe
bags fell Into the street. It was a minute or
so before tbe men could attract the atten
tion of tbe driver and get bim to stop, and
tbe bags were left some distance behind.
Tbey were all there, however, when the
men bnrrled back. There were few per
sons on the street at tbe time.
Sealskins when worn by the seals them
selves are very different in appearance from
those which bave been fabricated Into 1
dies' cloaks. Tbe fur is not visible, but it is
concealed by a coat of stiff overhair. dull.
gray-brown and grizzled. This overhair
baa to be removed by a long, laborious
process, and this work, according to tbe
thoroughness with which It Is done, largely
determines the value of the ekla. Bklns
from 2 to 4 years old weigh from 8 to 13
pounds.
The cotton mill owned by Sellers &,
Hoffman, at Bormont. Delaware county.
was totally destroyed by fire on last Friday
afternoon. About 300 persons were at
work In tbe rail! at tbe time and a panic en
sued among tbe female employes, many of
whom were thrown down and trampled up
on In their efforts to escape tbe flames. A
two-story building used aa a stock room and
stable and a fonr-story storehouse were al
so destroyed. Tbe total lose is placed at
1300,000; Insurance (60.000.
Forest fires are burning on all sides of
Ishpemlng. Mich. People are moving to
Powers. One family la mitslng, presuma
bly burned. Fires extend on both sides of
tbe railroad for many miles. Many build
tags bave been burned, and fanners are los
ing everything. A pall of smoke covers
everything from sight, and many people are
homeless. Tbe fires are spreading rapidly
In every dlreetiou. It is thought there will
be heavy loss of life, as people in tbe conn
try lose their way, and the fire surrounds
them.

Dr. Dernis D. Mulcaby, of New York
City, sailed for Taria on Saturday. There
be will sue the Duke of Aosta to recover an
esute In Spain, valued at 000.000. Tbe
doctor's cousin, so goes the story, married a
Spaniard ot great wealth, who left all bis
property in trust with tbe Duke for the ben
fit of his wife and son. Oa the death of
their two heirs tbe Duke took possession
and refused to acknowledge tbe doctor's
claim, and to give np tbe estate. Freder
ick II. Condert. ot New York, Is Doctor
Mulcaby 's counsel.
Tbe losses by tbe late storm In South
western Pennsylvania appear to bave been
enormous. Tbe losses at Pittsburg are
placed at 11,000,000, and tbe losses in the
surrounding counties will aggregate as
much more. Fortunately the loss of life by
the unprecedented rush of waters was com
paratively small. It will require a week or
two for tbe railways to get In complete run
ning order again, but as tbe waters are sub
siding the damage will be repaired at a
very rapid rate. Passenger travel la mov
ing nearly as freely as usual already.
Madame Virginia Sherwood, at one time
the most daring bare back equestrienne In
the country, died at Pittsburgh on Sunday
of consumption. Mrs. Sherwood, after tbe
death of ber husband several years ago,
having amassed a considerable fortune re
tired from the show business and bas since
lived In tbe old homestead In Pittsburgh.
She was tbe mother of Chaa. Sherwood, and
Mrs. Robert Htckney, both famous riders,
and the sister ot Madame Brldgetta, wbo
waa trampled to death during a circus per
formance in New Orleans, many years ago.
Several weeks ago tbe store and dwel
ling belonging to J. C. Rummell, clothing
merchant at Shlppensburg, Pa., was blown
to atoms, along with several adjoining build
ings, by a dynamite cartridge which bad
been placed in the cellar of the building at
midnight by an unknown person. Since
then detectives bave been working up the
ease, and on Monday tbe guilty person
George Carroll, alias "Jumbo," a worthless
colored man and a native of Shlppensburg
waa arrested near Chambersburg by
Officer Rlppey. and la now In tbe Cumber,
land county jail.
At Wlnthrop, Mass.. recently, workmen
digging to lay foundation stones struck two
Indian akeletons thought to be about 200
years old. The position of tbe most com
plete skeleton was peculiar. Tbe head was
bowed upon tbe breast, tbe knees drawn up
to tbe chin, elbows on tbe knees, with bands
flat upon that part of the cranium where the
cheeks once were. No bones of the ankle.
foot or hip were found. Tbe skeleton lay
facing the west on Its left side. Immedi
ately under the skeleton were the remains
of a fire, and clam and mussel sheila were
scattered about, particularly near the bead.
A farmer at the town of Rutland. N. Y..
baa a dog that carries tbe mall for bim
regularly. The farmer's bouse stands near
ly a quarter of a mile from tbe main road.
along which the mail stage rolls every after
noon. Tbe driver brings tbe daily papers
from tbe post-office and throws them off at
tbe cross roads, where he always finds tbe
dog waiting for them. Tbe dog bas not
missed a mall for three months, and during
that time he baa not been reminded of bis
duty more tban half a dozen times, tie
seems to know the right time and does not
waste bis time loitering at tbe corners.
On Saturday as some track repairers
were at work under the Broadway railroad
bridge, at Olneyvllle, R. I., their attention
was attracted by a scratching and thumping
noise in a freight car, one of a long train
side-tracked near by. Tbe door of tbe car
was opened and a man about 30 years of
age, wasted away almost to a skeleton,
tumbled out lie said that be bad boarded
tbe train In Chicago seven day sago to ride to
the seaboard. Tbe car, a Chicago and At
lantic one, was drawn In at Olneyvllle four
days ago. When asked If be wanted food
be feebly answered : "No, I've been hun
gry too long." Tbe man bad shouted so
long that be was almost too hoarse to utter
a cry. Tbe car contained a miscellaneous
freight, and be expected that It would be
promptly opened when It arrived at its des
tination. The process of sheep shearing by ma
chinery Is now performed In Australia by
an ingenious kind of device, the results, as
represented, being very satisfactory. Tbe
apparatus in question is a very simple one,
being made cn the same principle as tbe cut
ter of a mower or reaper, and the knives are
worked by means of rods within the ban
dies, these la their return being moved by a
core within a long flexible tube, which is
kept in a rotary abaft, and wheels driven
by a stationary engine. The comb is In tbe
form of a segment of a circle, about three
Inches In diameter, with 11 conical shaped
teeth. Each machine Is worked by a shear
er, and, as tbe comb Is forced along '.be skin
of tbe animal, toe fleece Is cut. The mas
chine can be run either with a steam or gas
engine, or by ordinary borse power, and
does not easily get out of order.
An accident that resulted very seriously
to four young women of Philadelphia, em
ployes of Strawbridge & Clothier, occurred
at Montclare, Montgomery county, on ;Sats
orday last. Tbey bave been spending their
vacations at CollegevlUe, and drove over to
tbe post office at Pbosulxvllle In the morning
to gel tbelr mall. Aa tbey were driving
across tbe canal bridge at Montclare their
wagon collided wile another coming from
tbe opposite direction, and all tbe girls were
thrown Into the canal, twenty feet below.
A party ot young men went to tbe rescue,
and but for their timely assistance the girls
might bave been drowned. One bad an ugly
gash In her fee, caused by atriktng against
a jagged rock, and another bad ber arm
sprained. Tne other two escaped with a
docking. Tbey refused to give their
names to their rescuers, and were driven to
their boarding-house at Celleteville,
M. Ballingsley, a wealthy business man
of Bronaugb, Mo., and bis wife were stop
ping at tbe New Albany Hotel. Kansas
City, Mo for several days. They left Fri
day morning for borne. Friday afternoon
tbe proprietors of the hotel received a tele
gram stating that Ballingsley bad lost $1.
000 in the hotel. Tbe clerk made a careful
search aod the money was finally found be
tween tbe slab of tbe bed and the mattress
It was done up In a Etrange fasbon. Around
along leather purse that contained the
money a piece ot coffee sack had been sew
ed tightly. Around this was wrapped a
towel, which was also tightly tewed, and
the wbole waa bound up In another towel.
loosely stitebed together. Mr. Ballingsley
arrived this morning and got his money,
He explained that bis wife bad done it up
In that manner so that she could wear It as
a bustle. In tbe hurry to catch the train
&be forgot to put on tbe bustle.
