The dressed beef bill got another
black eye, this time in the house, at Har-
risburg., After the judiciary committee
had laid it out an attempt was made to get
it before the house, but the honse voted
not to have it. There was a Dad smell
about it—the bill, not the beef. It was
in the interest of the stock yard monopo-
lists, who hired a few cranks to raise the

Of course, the Western beef combine
does nothing whatever except as interest
dictates, It p'unders the Western cattle
grower and gets all it can for dressed
beef, but that is no reason why it should
be excladed from our markets simply to
enable others to throttle consumers, In
this game of self-interest, it is always safe

The following is published as the an
thentic details regarding the 'ragic death
of Crown Prince Radolph: Archduke
Radolph had paid court to the beaatiful
Baroness Marie Vetsera for four months,
and it is stated thet Countess Wallersee
Larisch, a niece of Empress Elizabeth,
eacoursged the Liaison, Baroness Marie
had a romantic and anervoos tempera
ment, and wasdevoled to Radolph. The
pair started in a closed carriage drawn
by two horses, on the 25th of January,
for Meyerling, They spent the next day
together, and on the morning of the
30th both were found dead in the
Prince's bed. Marie was shot through
the forehead, ad Radolph as already
described. Itis evident that the guilty
couple resolved die together. The
the bed was strewn with
flowers, The body of the Baroness was
taken secretly from the chateau to the
gamekeeper's cottage, and was removed
thence for burial. The Velsera family
left Vienoa on Saturday for Venice
where they will probably hereafter live.
This story regarding the circumstances
surrounding the death of Prince Rudolph
fails to create any peculiar sensation
here. The story had already come out
by pieceraeal, and this latest repori simp
ly furnishes the skeleton thus formed
with the requisite name of the Prince's
partuer in the amour. It appears that
the story is the same that the Pesther
Lioyd loyally refrained from publishing
out of regard for the royal family, but
someope less scrupulons having got hold
of it has given it to the world. The
story of Rudolph’s liaison with Baroness
Marie Vetsera is generally credited here,
aod it is believed that the truth of the
affair has come out finally.

It seems to be pretty well settled that
the present Congress will create another
Cabinet place, to be known as the De-
partment of Agricoltare, This will
make the eighth Cabinet official, and
will give President Harrison one more
Cabinet appointment than any of his
predecessors had. Originally there were
four Cabinet officials, namely, Secretary
of State, Secretary of Treasury, Becretary
of War and Attorney General. There
were subsequent'y added Postmaster
General, Secretary of Navy and Secre-
tary of the Interior.
Next there may be a demand for
another, Department of Mining; then for
another, the Department of Manufactur-
es; then another, the Mercantile Depart
ment; then another, the Base Ball De
partment; then another, the Dressed
Beef Department-—ali asking for cabis

The Sheriff of Berks county on Mon-
day, sold ten fine farms in that county,
aggregating nearly one thousand acres,
During the present winter season the
Sheriff has sold some twenty other large
farms, besides the farm stock of twenty
other farmers, all of whom had failed.
This condition of things is taken as an
indication that farming no longer
as formerly, as a similar state of ™
exists in other conaties in this part of
the state.

PROHIBITION INTERESTS,
The temperance convention at Harris

ens, Chairman of the Probibition party
in this State, Jgenerally known as the
third party. The men who are promi
nent in this party want to be leaders in
open. Their ambition in this respect is
likely to lead to trouble. The friends of
prohibition in the Republican and Dems
ocratic parties, who do not believe ia a
third party, and are noopartisan in their

the men who bave been prominent in
the political Prohibition party. Conse

tion, have called a convention of their
non-partisan friends to meet at Harris

vited te attend. The political and non.
political advocates of prohibition are not
jost at present very cordially in harmony
and it is not unlikely thatthe anti-liquor
campaign may be ondocted by two seps
arate and distinct organizations.
Singnlar news comes from the M’Allis
terville saldiers’ orphan school, where
twenty five boys have become insane, all
about the same time,
The friends of the management are
poohspooing the idea of insanity and for
some purpose are trying tocreate the im«
pression with the public ontside that the
boys are shammwing, but Dr. L. Banks

ly repudiates any such a notion. When
he visited the school he put the boys to
such tests that made it impossible for
them to deceive him,
While they are able to distinguish ob-
jects and know what they are, yet when
they endeavor to name them they say
another word than the one they want,
Such a condition, it is said, comes from
enemia of the brain, which is produced
sometimes by poverty of the blood. Two
of the boys have corea or Saint Ane
thony’s dance, which is an effect of ene
mia of the brain, The condition of the
boys seems improved.

THE GAMBLERS IN WHEAT,
But it is tolerably safe to say that
there is not going to be any famine this
year as to actual wheat, There will be
found enough to go round and to supply
all demands that are iikely to come from
abroad, and somebody will be left with
excess on band—an excess greatly ios
creased if artificial prices are made and
maintained during the few months of the
erop year that remain, Individuals may
make millions by a corner, perhaps, but
the country will certainly lose, and that

slanghtered by a farther suppression of
exports.

TORY AMENDMENT IN CONCLAVE.
Apparent harmony has been establish-
ed between the Constitutional Amends
ment Association and the Prohibition
party of Pennsylvania, as all the Repre~
sentatives appointed at the recent con~
ference of friends of the prohibitory
amendment, in the city of Harrisburg,
have signed a call for a State Convention
in Harrisburg on February 19. The pro-
hibition party felt highly insulted at a
letter written by the presidect ofthe
Constitutional Amendment Association
to Judge Black, of Lancaster, in which
he declared that his association would
have nothing to do with the third party,
and the leaders of that organization, at
the late conference, resisted the effort
being made to unite with the Constitu-
tional Amendment Association,
But a committee was finally appointed
to confer with the president of the

the convention of Prohibitionists, In
this effort the committee was unsuccess-
ful, as the association could not recede
from its purpose. Each county io the

REV. DR. BOARDMAN UPON
NINTH COMMANDMENT.
“Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor’ was the command-
ment treated by Dr. Boardman. In ins
troducing his sabject he said that lan
guage was one of the most wonderful, im«
mortal and sacred facuities of man. By
its means we are enabled to understand
and enjoy one another. It isthe very
blood of humanity, the covenant of the
people and the symbol of the unity of
man. Language, to be true to its lofty
purpose, must be entirely trustworthy—
the utterance of a lie being more crimi-
nal than the forging of a note or the
counterfeiting of a coin, for these one
may catch, while a falsehood is as elu-
sive as it is dangerous.
When in direct consideration of the
Commandment Dr, Boardman
explained that it forbids all perjury, all

THE FOOD NOT GOOD.
The committee appointed by Wilson
Post G. A. R.,of Mifflintown, to investi.
gate the cause of the nervous insanity at
the DMcAlisterville soldiers’ orphane'
school, met there to-day, and in conjunc.
tion with Dre. Grubb and Hoopes made
an examination. They found the build-
ing cleaned up from top to bottom, and
the children seemed to be well clad and
shod. The boys are not looking healthy.
The girls appear much better. John
Brady, aged fifteen, Tilden Limes, aged
twelve and Lyon Shirk, aged fourteen
are confined to a room and are in charge
of keepers, They are badly affected and
have a dizposition to climb out of win~
dows at every opportunity. Albert
Baker and Deanis Howell, aged twelve
years, are in bed with cores.
The doctors say that all five boys are
troubled with blood impoverishment,
caused by lack of nutrition, The doc
tors could go no farther than this. The
dinner to-day consisted of potpie, boiled
with seme meal in it, dark, heavy bread
made out of second grade flour, with
molasses and water. It is believed the
lack of notrition is thus accounted for.
Ex-Senator Wright was not present,
though he was telegraphed for several
days ago. The commiltee were al a lose
to know what to report.
The expectation is that Harrison's ad«
ministration will start off somewhat in
this shape: Secretary of state, Blaine,
whom Harrison will have to either fight
or follow; secretary of the treasury,
probably Platt, who will excite the ans
imosity of half of the Republicans of
New York, and add a large alement to
the forces dragging down the administra.
tion; Alger, secretary of war, who carries
in his breast the grievance planted there
in Chicago last June; postmaster gener.
eral or secretary of the navy, Wanamak-
er, an amateur statesman who goes in
as the result of an ante election under
standing; attorney general, Estee, who
as u coporation attorney of the mosi cor
rupt monopolies of the West, will throw
around the department of justice a flavor
of suspicion before his name goes down
on his first official paper. It is needless
to add that whatever Southern represen
tative there is in the cabinet, he will
have neither influence nor prestige.
