The Democracy are harmonious and that means a great deal in New York, and with the National administration in sympathy there is is a big help which for the last quarter of a century went to the enemy, - oe. The people of this state are familiar with Boss Quay's connection with the Pittsburg riot bill bribers. The follow- ing resolution was passed by a conference of Methodist ministers at Scranton, in 1880: “In view of the notorions corrup- tion connected with the Legislature of Pennsylvania, we, the ministers of Wy- oming conference, residing in the state, pray the board of pardons, the judge of the court and the governor of the state, that the persons lately convicted of bri- bery and cofruption be brought tospeedy punishment, that their great crime be not condoned, and that the board of par dons, the judge of the court, and the governor be notified of the action of this conference.” Quay was one of the pardon board and took the lead in Kemble's pardon. a A HA — The State Sunday School Convention of Pennsylvania is to meet at Sunbury, commencing Toesday evening, October 2), and continuing through Wednesday and Thursday. An attractive program is being arranged. Eminent Sunday School workers will take a part in the proceedings, and a feast of good things may be expected. Each county is enti- ted to ten delegates, and cities of twen- ty thousand population to three addi- tional delegates, Arrangements have ben made for a reduction of fare over all railroads centering in Bunbury, to all parsons attending the convention. For particulars regarding railroads, address Me. Jacob Shipman, Sunbury. Pennsyl- vania now ranks a Bannor State, all the counties being organized ao. Jary to the State and International work. A Jarge delegation may be expected, and the approaching convention will doubt- less be of rare interest. Delegales are requested toaddrr ss Mr. G. W. Deppen, prior to Oct. 10th. —_—., RAILWAY WARS, The wars between the different rail ways throughout the country has caused the Baltimore Sun to remark “that a striking demonstration of the effect of the long continued war of rates between the great East and West trunk lines is seen in the repetition of a quarterly div- idend of one-half of one per cent. by the New York Central railway in lieu of the two per cent. that road has, until a recent period, been in the habit of paying. It is a circumstance of the same color as the decrease of $697,833 in the net earn- ings of the Pennsylvania railway system in August, 1885, as compared with the earnings of the same month in 1884, and ending August 31, 1885, when compared with those of the like period of 1884, and of $4,585,000 when compared with those of 1883.” These facts explain the readi- ness of the presidents of the trunk lines at their recent meeting to advance west- bound freight rates from 40 to 60 cents questing Western lines to advance east bound rates to a corresponding extent. The enormous losses suffered by the par- ties to the freight war have brought a MERCANTILF FAILURES, The mercantile failures in the United States for the third quarter of the year, ending September 80, as reported by R. Gi.

To be fruitful these transactions must be fol lowed by a third, and it is not unlikely that the anxiety of New York and Phil- adelphia railroad magnates, to secure peace and paying rates, will lead them to seek to placate their most formidable competitor, the Baltimore and Ohio, by such concessions in regard to the lind of the latter between Philadelphia and New York as will fully protect its inter- ests as a handler of Western and South- ern traffic destined to New York. vorable terms to the Baltimore and Ohi in regard to its use of existing they would, perhaps, rather do tha compel the Baltimore and Ohio fel Lu 1 & 3 and New York, which business of the New York Pennsylvania roads a great more than the West Shore in its short period of independent existence was ever able to] do. That the Baltimore and Ohio would] enter into an “alliance” with any other corporation engaged as a rival in the transportation of Western and Southern products to New York, however, onsuch conditions that the Baltimore and Olrio should be dependent upon its for communication with New York, is an idea which would not be readily enter- tained by those familiar with the histo- ry of the road, and the expressions attri buted to President Garret on the subject would indicate that the interests of the company are in no danger on that ac count. wo Central and| 1aal Goad : 3 rival en A SAI A ABT ——s QUAY OR DAY. In Pennsylvania the opposition of the Independent Republicans is assuming shape by organization. there have been several meetings of an- ti-machine Republicans and they do not mean to let Boss Quay have a walk over. If it was right for the Independents to oppose Beaver it is doubly so to oppose Quay who is the head boss under Cam- eron and has done his bidding at times and under all circumstances. Quay is the candidate of the monopo- lies and will have their warmest support, He has been a most faithful servant to them. Men who have damned the mo- nopolists in years past—and there are thousands of Republicans who have done so--can not consistently vote for Mr. Quay for State treasurer. Now, for once, they have an opportunity of voting as they talked by supporting Mr. Day who is the opposite of Mr. Quay, the arch corruptor of our politics and the right hand man of corporations, We must have good men in all import ant places if we want to reform the abu- ses all have complained of for years. Mr. Day is a business man and stands at the head of his class in Philadelphia. Mr. Quay is a boss and stands at the head of his class in the state. mise Mp I EXPLOSION AT HELL-GATE, The explosion of Flood Rock in New York harbor, on Saturday, was a grand success and a magnificent spectacle, It was the most tremendous explosion in the world's history. Bix acres of solid rock, which has made it dangerous for veisels, were shattered and shivered and with immense columns of water sent 200 feet in the air, in an instant, by the touch of the battery by a little girl of Engineer Newton.

Hell Gate Sent Heavenswoard With Dyna mule, New York, October 11.—The blowing up of Flood Bock was a maguificent and wonderful spectacle, and was witnessed by hundreds of thousands of poople. The shock felt like an earthquake, and was received throughout New York and Brooklyn, making the houses trembie and shaking down a few ceilings near the scene of the explosion, but doing no serious damage anys hero, Around a little yellow house on Asto ria Island, were gathered the lucky few who were to see the touch that would blow the big rock to pieces, An experiment was made with the ea bles. A foee on the rock was promptly discharged and the wires were found tw be in good working order. Then there was only one thing left to be dose—to make connections with the explosives in the rock. It was not a very pleasant task, for once the connection was made, if anyone should happen to touch the instrument on shore, good-by to the rock and any one then on it. Gener! Newton thought it was his business to make that connection, and after seeing to the safety of the instrument, he set out once more on his steamboat Runaway with Lis son, a lad of 15. Lieutenant Derby, who knows all about the work, and who seems rather to like dynamite, went a'ong too, When thoy came back all right, the peo- ple began to think about themselve, Nothing remained bat to touch a button, and then that 280,000 pounds of dyna mite and rackarock in the bowels of the rook yonder just 1,000 feeot awny would «o off and do its work, The photographers, who were alming at the rock from every conceivable point of view, bent their entire souls upon their work, Gor SI MI A wes A exchange says: Look ont for two swindlers that are going around this state.

Not much is said about the difference in wages for which they are willing to work, but this has much to do with the feeling against them.
