The mixers auk still out in the Le-
hlgh coal reglon.and although the eleventh
week of the strike has passed they are as
persistently determined as ever to accept the girl's mother appeared lu court to back up
on and the antiquated roue heard death knock
ing at his door. When his brother died Charles
had Inherited all his fortune and when Charles
had died, the direct line was ended, and what
remained ot his property was supposed to go to
his collateral relations. When the application
for an administrator was made, a very charming
young lady appeared In court, claiming that she
was Count Cheesboro's daughter, and this week
no concession that Is not up to the full re-
qniiements of the demand made oyer two
months ago. Tho ultimate result of this
disagreement between operator and miner
will be a complication of all business enter-
her daughter's suit, and swore point blank that
the young lady In question was the veritable
daughter ot the Count, and she knew It.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this letter
she did not pretend that any ceremony had ever
been performed, but she considered herself his
prises In tho Lehigh Valley If much longer wtfe ai the same, and being asked what she did
prolonged. Already apprehensions are en- after she left the Count she replied that shehad
terlalned by many In this vicinity that the
Lehigh Valley Company will shut down
the Packerton car shops, for what reason,
and with what lesult is obvious to our
readers. We hope the tumor will prove to
be without foundation or fact .for a suspen-
found another gentleman, a Southern planter,
whom she adopted as a husband, -with as little
ceremony as she did Count Cheesboro. There
Is considerable money Involved In the fight, and
the lawyers are by no means anxious to have the
battle decided as long as a dollar remains.
Another queer case Is that of an old and re
slon at this time would prove lamentable spected merchant named Tatrlck Flnerty.whose
to the employes of the shops many of
whom with large families and much advers
ity have been unable to lay by for a rainy
day a sufficiency of the necessary to tide

The coal bahoxs recently held a
meeting, says the Newburg, N. Y., Regis
ter. and resolved that they would put their
hands in the pockets of the people and help
themselves to a few millions by advancing
the price of coal. To the poor working-
man who lias to pay an increased price for
this necessi'y the question naturally arises
"by what authority do these monopolists
rob us?" And when he investigates the
subject he finds that they do as they pleast,
because they have the protection of a high
tariff upon coal, under the guise of an "In
fant Industry" needing the fostering care
of a protective tariff, and the question na
turally arises, "Who is protected?" To a
man who has to pay an increased price up
on an article of necessity whenever it suits
the whim of a dozen men the answer is an
easy'one. The day of judgment for these
public plunderers Is not far distant.
LEIIiailTOX HAS ADyANCED WITn VVOJT-
derotis strides during the past few years
but there Is yet much to be done before our
borough can be truly classed as a substan
tlal self-supporting town. Tliero are but
few of our citlzeus who do not fully under
stand this, and the too, will soon recog-
nlze the all-important fact that unless
manufacturing enterprises are located here
the borough w 111 soon be at a standstill.
There Is no denying the fact that Lehigh
ton possesses unequalled facilities for man
ufacturing purposes, and we Incline to the
belief that If a live Board of Trade were to
take the welfare of this borough into heir
hands, parties contemplating entering Into
an ludust.tal business could be prevailed
upon to locate here. Suppose our live and
progressive citizens make a move In this
matter.
UKStOCBATIC NEWSPAPERS IN THE
State of New Jersey are rnuch nonplussed
at the matter of fact manner In which Re
publicans of that State managed to secure
a majority of the big offices Senate and
legislature, une ot our esteemed con
temporaries, the Dover N. J.. Index, re-
marks that the Jersey "leaders must have
been very sleepy, ' and asks "where was
McPlierson, Abbet. Green, Kelsey, Little,
Krueger and the rest?" At this distance
we Incline to the belief that they were In
dulging In an adjustment of personal polit
ical matters, with what result Is obvious.
loving relatives insist on putting him Into a luii
atic asylum. It appears, the old gentleman, who
Is now about eighty, had the misfortune to ac
cumulate bv constant Industry and thrift, eighty
or a hundred thousand dollars. Ills wife died a
few years ago, and having no children he was
left almost entirely alone. He-gave up his house
on the death of his wife, and went to live In the
back of his store on Vesey street seeking occas
ional recreation In tho family of a friend whom
he had known for many years. As soon as some
if his fifteenth cousins found out that he had
nouey they began to be worried for fear tho old
fool might make away with It all, before they
nuw get a hack at It, so they applied to the
courts to have his mental condition Inquired In
to. The old man fled and took refuge with the
friends, who li;ul shown him the only friendship
i had everjknown since the death of his wife.
rheythen tried to have the friends arrested for
keeping the old man under restraint; but he
personally appeared in com t and swore that he
went to his friends for protection, and because
he wished to escape tho brutality of his so-called
relatives. Now that the old man has been pro
nounced perfectly sane by the courts It Is a
fair presumption that the cousins, who tried to
put him in a lunatic asylum will not get much of
his cash, but It will all go to the fifteen year old
laughter of his friend who suddenly finds her
self a very desirable heiress.
I mentioned laslV-eek that Henry Irving with
Ellen Terryaud his English companvhadopened
at the Star. As an acting piece, Faust has not
astonished the town, but as a spectacle it Is un
surpassed by any drama yet produced here.
The Improved effects which the electric and hy-
droxygen lights rended possible, geatiy enhance
the weird beauty of tho scenes, many of which
are masterpieces of scenic art. Whether It Is
that the part does not fit him. Mr. Irvlng's
Mephlstopheles fell flat; the only character In
the whole play which seemed to rise above
mediocrity was Ellen Terry's Marguereto. Hut
while there Is no striking greatness anywhere
tliero Is absolute goodness everywhere. It is
not a performance of a star w ith a lot of slicks,
but '.he smallest character Is an actor, and the
result Is a universal harmony which makes the
play a moderate success. Many people are com
paring Mr. In lug's performance of Mephlstophe
les with his Louis theXIth orMathiasln The
hells. It Is Impossible to Institute such a com
parison justly; we havo built up our conception
of Goethe's Incarnate devil from the operatic re
presentatives of Gonoud's brilliant opera rather
than from the story of Goethe. Mr Irving has
evidently done In this instance what he has done
In many others that is, lie has discarded. old
time traditions, aul when the public shall conic
fully to understand him. they may yet consider
it one of the noblest interpretations of that char
acter given to the American stage.
Nevsirwas Ferdinand Ward's eI example
more pronounced than now. Scarcely a week
passes but wo Bud some young men In a bank or
other responsible position trying to rival that
gigantic swindler. This week it Is Latimer E.
Jones, and a tougher case of genuine moral
obliquity has seldom been seen. It Is bad enough
for a man to forge and steal and lie, but when he
brings himself to rellgously believe that lying
and stealing are the proper things to do. his
case Is hopeless. This appears to be the ease
with Latimer E. Jones, He is well convinced,

A large majority ot the Members of Congress
ore lu town, and others are arriving dally. The
streets and hotel lobbies are filled with strangers
and the National Capitol has assumed the gen
erally animated appearance characteristic of the
city during the time that Congress Is In session.
The Members who have arrived In tho city are
busy In arranging the details of the coming con
test over the organization of the House, it i
expected that as usual, the most stubborn fight
will be made over the selection of a doorkeeper,
Although Mr. Doneleon, the present Incumbent.
Is a candidate for re-election, It l general!
thought that he will be defeated, owing to the
numerous enemies that he has made In distribut
ing the patronage of his office. Mr. Asher Bar-
nett, of New York, who at the present time Is
In eharge of the law library of the House. Is
among the most active candidates lor the place,
though there seems to be but little chanco of lib
securing the prize, as It Is generally conceded
that the door-keepershlp will go to the South
NewiYork also has a prominent candidate for the
lerkshlp of the House. In the person ot William
Italnes, ot Itochester, a brother oCState Senator
Raines. It Is said that Mr. Italnes w 111 enter the
contest with the entire New York delegation at
his back, and that he will also have a number ot
New England and Western Members.
Gossip In social circles Is quite animated tiverj
the quiet ana unexpected marriage oi miss us
nnne Bancroft, the granddaughter of Mr. George
Bancroft the historian, to Mr. Charles Carrol),
son of ex-Governor Carroll, of Maryland.
It had been generally believed that the young
lady was soon to be married to a prominent mem
ber of the diplomatic corps, and the announce
ment of her marriage to Mr. Carroll was a gen
eral surprise. On Wednesday morning she left
her grandfathers house with Mr. Carroll, osten
sibly for a walk, but lustead, they took the train
for Baltimore, where they were quietly married.
There has been an unusual number of office
seekers In the various departments ot late. There
seems to be a general Impression prevalent
among the army of aspirants for desks In the de
partments that there are numerous removcls
every pay day, and that by being present to sup
ply the emergency they will be likely to secure a
position. The rooms of the various appoint
ment clerks are crowded upon those days. Of
course nothing can be done but to refer the ap
plicants to the civil-service commission, Noth
ing daunts them however, and with each succes
sive pay day, the same familiar faces appear,
with the same anxious and hopeful expression
upon their faces.
It Is probable that the citizens of Washington
will soon score a victory In their contest with
the railroad companies, and that the various
companies will be compelled to remove their
tracks from the streets which they have persist
ed In occupying. The Commissioners of the Dis
trict, have prepared a report upon the subject,
which they will present to Congress, in which
they recommend tlio establishment of a union
depot at the Intersection of Marjland and Vir
ginia Avenues, to be reached hy the railroads by
means of tunnels beneath tho city.
It Is said that the Democratic Congressmen
have been making Inquires regarding tho gov
ernment employees who are known to have
worked In the Interest of the ltepubllcan party
during the recent campaign, and that some ot
them have furnished the heads of Departments
w Ith lists of the clerks who were the most active
Republicans, aud it Is Intimated that the per
sons whose names appear upon the lists will be
discriminated against when It may be found nec'
essary to reduce the force In any of the Depart
ment. H-
and attire of those days Is fast approaching.
Only five more weeks when tho main streets ot
Philadelphia will bo one guady show and em
bellishment so symbolic, of this season. Block
after block, windows and doors trimmed, with
laurels, tokens and alluring articles emblematic
ot Christmas and Now Year's day. These are
sights and views worth seeing; Impressive of the
happiness and good will Intended and designed.
It is not only this but It means business for all
tradesmen. From now until the 1st of January,
1SS8 wilt bo far the busiest part of the year In
business circles. How many happy and hoiftful
anticipations and how many dire disappoint
ments are Involved In these things for all shades
of people, no one knows.
Geo, F. Parker, a prominent Philadelphia
Journalist and red hot Democrat has beenselect
ed for managing editor of the New York Pre,
a new ltepubllcan paper lately organized there
by Frank Hatton, It. V. Porter et.nl. to sound
the praises ot protection and the Republican
party. It is rather a peculiarity to have a red
hot Democrat conduct and manage an equally
red hot Republican hewsDapcr. While It Is a
novel thing, yet the projectors knew what they
were after when Farker was selected for this
responsible position. He Is an active and one of
the most brilliant and bright newspaper men In
Philadelphia. He will certainly Inject vim abili
ty and Success Into the new enterprise. Good,
able men are always In demand.
Hon. Dallas Sanders, chairman ot the Demo
cratic Stato Committee, has been very much
criticised for bis management ot the late State
campaign, This criticism and fault finding Is
unjust because Sanders was as active and earn
est In pushing the cause of Democracy as any
other Democrat, If a chairman, could have been
He did all In his official capacity that any man
could have done. He urged upon all county or
ganizations the Importance of an active local
campaign; the duty Involved in such a "home
rule" contest. In his method of campaigning Is
the only true way of successfully managing a po
litical fight. He certainly could not go Into every
county and election district of the State to urge
the voters to go to the polls. Tins duty per
tained to tho auxllllary committees and If they
failed to do their work then tho State organiza
tion cannot be held Justly responsible for the de
feat of McGrann ahd Thompson. To repeat the
criticism and fault finding Is unjust and nnfalr,
It Is the work of factionallsls and therefore de
serves need, for It Is only Intended to grind axes
for such. This hue and cry agalust Sanders will
avail nothing. Ills re-election Is suro.
Philadelphia has In Its midst two victims of
that terrible malady leprosy mother and daugh
ter. They have been living In Hilladeiphla for
two years past but were not discovered until a
very short time age. Their lives ever since in
this city has been that of seclusion. The disease
was attained In Brazil and has been lurking tn
tho system of the mother for four years. Toor
belngs.lneVltable death staring them In the face,
Horrors, how fearful and terrible such a thing
Is. They are now quartered In the pest house of
the Philadelphia Hospital. All alone In a simple
solitary rogm, where, unless transferred to some
other land, they must remain until the dread
messenger, the sure outcome of leprosy for it Is
Incurable death will overtake them. Commis
eration and pity Is their only lot.
The coal strike In the Lehigh reglou Is a bad
thing tor Philadelphia. It has been the means
of driving coal up to SG.CO per ton. This Is a
steep prlco to pay for so necessary a commodity
as coal. It Is the hope that tho trouble existing
between miner and operator will speedily be ad-
Justed so as to be satisfactory to all concerned.
To take pity on some poor mouthed fellow and
share bed and table with him In a spirit of char
ity Is commendable, but to bo robbed by the
beneficiary Is damnable. But Just such a case Is
In view. It happened S iturday night, Nov. 19; a
veil disposed and kind hearted actor met a poor
fellow who claimed he was poor and hungry and
itnew not where to lay his head that night; the
actor tn his pity bought the beggar Ingrate a
supperuud shared his bed with him. Well, Sun
day morning when the actor awoke the guest
was gouo with a good suit and money not be

to borrow a suit for Sunday In which he appeared
all out of sorts.

OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER
Philadelphia, Pa Noy. 22, '87.
Holy smokes! the dignity of his Majesty Ed
win II. Fitler has been trampled upon. He Is
.Mayor ot this townjas an executor he will brook
no Insult or permit nothing to Interfere with his
personal acts. It Is too bad. When August
Schell was running as John Kellcy's candidate
for Mayor of New York City, some ten years
ago, the shining Sun declared that "No king or
clown shall rule this town." It was the slogan
that beat Schell, but Philadelphia was not so
fortunate, for it has a veritable "king and
clown. That Is the kingship Is run against by
his majesty but the clownshtp Is real. The hor
ror ot his excellency was aroused on Saturday,
the 19th Inst., when a poor teamster was follow-
lowing, at a proper distance, a street car. and
accidentally came In close proximity with th
dignified Fitler. This was too much, for ins tan
ter the outraged (humph) official violently aud
brutally rained atorrent of blows with his cane
upon the poor beast, the horse. Thus Fitler act
ed, but lo, the teamster, by name, Kew. like a
flash of lightning dismounted and assumed the
attitude ot putting a pair ot highly colored rims
around the goggles ot the "clown of the town.
This deserved treatment would havo been ac-
corked but tor the untimely Interference ot some
spectators who heard the assaulted cry out to
Kerr "I am the Mayor of this city." Kerr was
equal to the occasion and al lowed to h with
the Mayor, He thought more ot the horse than
the Mayor, and right he was. This Is not tho
first time that his honor has demeaned himself
thus. Ever since he nas been Mayor he has
been doing things that have made him the
laughing stock ot the city; receiving the curses
and approbriums of the majority of tho people.
His course has proved a dire misfortune to the
party that elected him; his official acts as exe
cuted by Wagner and titokely have Interfered
with the Interest and welfare of a great portion
of the business people. It remained for him to
resusltate all the blue laws of puritanical enact
ment and enforce them against creditable citi
zens and business people. His official acts
throughout seem to have been characterized ti
the same haughtiness and "I am the Mayor of
this city" as the Market street Incident devel
oped. Under this administration Philadelphia
Is tn straight jackets. Do anything that Is not
ust within the scope of the old blue laws and
damn It a blue coat policeman pouuees upon
you. Fitler Is a thoroughly damned man, and It
he will ever be Mayor again It will not be his
fault.

It was not to be expected that New Yoik
would uscape the effect of the Chicago executions,
so we were treated to a mourning procession on
Friday nlghtj but considering tho numbers
engaged In It, It was of the mildest sort, In short,
the tiger did not dare to show his claws; for
police lined the streetr, and notice was served
uponthem that any Infraction of the law would
bring down vengeance uponthelr heads; so the
affair oft without any serious disturbance. But
the Sunday night following, braced up with
Bock beer and Schnapps, their valor increased.
and that universal nuisance, Herr John Most,
let himself loose. This cowardly poltroon, who
always gets out of the way wherever there Is
danger, made frantic appeals to have somebody
revenge their brethren. Where was he last
Friday? Why did he not lead on the band of
avengers at Chicago? That Is not the kind ot
patriot he Is. When he was sent to the, peni
tentiary last time, he was captured hldlng'under
the bed ot a courtezan, named Lena Fischer.
His threats of coming vengance were terrible,
The seveiest punishment that could be Inflicted
on Most would be to make him wash himself,
and put on a clean shirt. If this was his sen
tence, even the gallows would haye no further
terrors for him. His followers aud friends are
an unsavory crowd. The difference Is frequently
