MAY PARTY.
Yesterday's Excursion te the Susquehanna.
The excursion party te the Susquehanna
of the boy's high school, in charge of Mr.
McCaskcy, was larger yesterday than en
any former trip, numbering nearly a hun
dred members. The tickets were forty
cents and were made te Cbiques se that
everybody could de as he or she pleased
in the matter of of -walking or
riding between Columbia and Chiques.
Many of the party walked both
ways, going up ever the hills and
coming down by the tow-path ; a few rode
both ways, but most of the excursionists
walked at least one way. On the hill
sides were found many flowers, and the
views along the river at this season are su
perb. At Chiques some eight or ten of
the party called en Prof. S. S. Haldcman
at his delightful home, under the shadow
of the great rock, with its grand out
look upon the river, and spent a pleas
ant hour or mere in examining his very
valuable collections of Indian antiquities.
The professor made the boys and girls
heartily welcome te his spacious grounds,
which, after their climb ever the hills, were
a very welcome resting place. He is a rare
"old boy" among young people.
Along with the party were a dozen
pupils from St. James school with their
teachers, Miss Mary Martm and Miss Kemp,
and a number of pupils from the girls' high
school, and many members of the Plant
club.
SAD DROWNING AFFAIR.
A -Mether Swimming te SaTe Her Children.
On Wednesday last a sail drowning ac
cident, marked by heroic devotion of a
mother, took place in the Susquehanna
river near NcfFs Island, opposite Turkey
Hill. Henry Shell". lock-tender en the
canal at New Bridgeport. Yerk county,
was Ashing en NelF's Island. About neon
his wife, accompanied by her two children
entered a beat te row te the island, taking
with her her husband's dinner. The beat
struck a rock and was upset, Mrs.
Slielf and her chikhen being thrown
into the water. Mrs. Shefl' being
a geed swimmer, seized her children, and
telling them te cling fast te her clothing,
struck out bravely for the shore, through
the swirling eddying torrent. Before
reaching a landing the little girl, aged ten
years, lest her held, sank beneath the
waters and was drowned. The mother
and boy after a hard stiuggle reached a
place of safety.
Mr. ShefT and family are highly respect
ed people and the less of their little daugh
ter, after the heroic efforts of the mother,
te save its life, has created much sympathy
for them en both the Yerk and Lancaster
side of the river, where they are well
known.
A ltui of Minerals Found.

Win. Black, yard-master
IJIIO UIVIIHU.
at the outer Heading railroad depot, this
city, while looking at the coal which was
being dunied from the cars into the
shutes at the head of North Prince street,
noticed a box some 20 inches or two feet
square among the coal. Suspecting that
all was net right, he called Ollicer Titus,
and showed him the box. They resolved
te open it, but instead of finding a dead
body or something else equally ghastly,
they found the box te contain a very fine
collection of minerals, principally of slate
or coal formations, beautifully im
printed with ferns, leaves, vines
' and ether petrified vegetables. With
in the larger box was a smaller one,
which contained several envelopes filled
with samples of several different kinds of
coal ashes. The collection had evidently
been gathercd by some scientist, and prob
ably stolen by a thief who en discovering
that he could make no use of it, secreted it
in a coal car and left it te its fate.
lleliiml the Age.
The
Manheim Sentinel of this morning
says : Mr. Jacob Geisel, a sheemakei, re
siding in Raphe township, about five
miles west of this borough, and new in his
seventy-eighth year, came te this place en
Tuesday last for the purpose of taking the
train for Lancaster; and en his return
stated that it was the first time he was in
a railroad carriage ; and, still mere re
markable, that this was his first visit te
Lancaster since the removal of the build
ings ou the corner of East King and Duke
streets for the erection of the present
court house. Mr. Geisel bears his age re
markably well, and is as nimble as a man
of forty.
Fell Down a Railroad Cut.
On Wednesday a six year old child of
Jehn Leenard, while at play in the rear of
her father's residence, East Walnut street
near Shippcn,lest her balance and fell ever
the fence that surmounts the top of the
deep railroad cut at that point. The child
rolled te the bottom of the cut, a distance
of about twenty feet, aud was consider
ably cut about the face by striking against
the cress-ties. She was picked up and
caried out of harm's way in time te save
her from danger from an approaching
train of cars.

MUSIC IN THE SCHOOLS.
Seme Reminiscences of Leng Age.
Dr. C. A. Greene, of this city, contrib
utes te the Philadelphia Times the follow
ing article en music in the public schools -
Just new I have perused at length an ar
ticle en "Cheral Societies," in the Times
of Sunday. It was my fortune te be a
member of the Hewes school, Seuth Bos Bes Bos
eon, in 1831, while Jeseph Harrington was
its teacher, and through his wonderful tact
of introducing new and profitable ideas into
that school music then was first taught
publicly, as well as calisthenics ; an anti
swearing society was established, a library
founded,and ether novel werkB established.
He was a brother of Hen. Henry F. Har
rington, the author and for se many years
a school commissioner, a companion of
Herace Mann, Edward Everett, Dr. O. W.
Helmes and ether educators. By some
means the city of Bosten was induced te
test, in a year's study, the introduction
of vocal music in one of its schools as a
trial, te see if it in any way
interrupted the ether teachings, etc.
The celebrated teacher and musical
composer, Lewell Masen, was our teacher.
The first portion of the pregramme after
Mr. Masen's entering our school was te
grade the scholars as he found them :
Geed singers, Ne. 1 ; net se geed, Ne. 2,
se en te Ne. 0, or no singers. At the start
the number in the first class was about 15,
out of a school of 300 scholars, and new I
may say, at the end of a year, a very large
proportion went in the Ne. 1 class and
only a very small number were in class Ne.
C. He perfectly demonstrated four facts :
First, that vocal music, with instrumental
accompaniment, did net in any way or
manner retard scholars from learning
their ordinary studies. Second they learned
mere rapidly and readily than before.
Third, it increased the size of the respira
tory organs, thereby improving their
health. Feurth.it improved them morally. I
may here add that it se happened that the
first boy whose vocal abilities were tested
was the writer. The next year music was
introduced into all the public schools in
Bosten. In 1853, seen after my entrance
into Philadelphia, I made the acquaint
ance of a gentleman named Ven Herrin
ger, who was vainly striving te get the con
trollers of its public schools toallew of his
teaching the rudiments of music in schools
of Philadelphia. Learning of his unsuc
cessful attempts and by him persuaded te
aid him, I delivered before this body of
gents an address upon the subject, upon
its benefits, advantages, etc, but in vain,
se.far as peer Ven Hcrringen was concerned
I am really glad at this late day te read
your sensible article and de hope that it
will meet with such response as will set the
musical ball roiling with favorable re
sults. OKITUAR1.
Heath of Jeremiah UrewD.
On Wednesday Jeremiah Brown, one of
the most prominent and widely known
residents of Fulton township, died of heart
disease, with which be had been alllicted
for several years past. Mr. Brown was a
representative of one of the eldest and
most highly esteemed Quaker families in
the state. At one time he held a heavy
interest in the Peach Bettem slate
quarries en both sides of the Sus
quehanna, besides being the owner cf
ether valuable properties. During the
financial troubles of a few years age, hew.
ever, he met with many reverses, by which
the bulk of his fortune was swept away.
His burial takes place te-morrow at Pcnn
Hill.
Shipment of Cattle
Jehn Sener, of West Willow, shipped
this morning te Philadelphia, titt the Head
ing railroad, forty-eight head of fine fat
cattle, being the first shipment of cattle
ever made from that point. There were
three car leads of them, and they were re
garded by all who saw them, as being as
line a let of cattle as were ever fed in the
county.

BBAIXS STAR ROUTES.
The Lebby Win a Temporary Victory and are
Then Thwarted Again.
The committee of the whole agreed te
the postefnee appropriation bill yesterday
and a vote en certain amendments will be
taken in the Heuse te-day. When the
Heuse met yesterday morning debate upon
the proviso reported in the hill by the com
mittee en appropriations was in order.
This proviso required all routes en which
schedule time has been expedited in excess
of fifty per cent, of the original contract
price, te be reduced te a rate of com
pensation net in excess of fifty per cent.
of the original contract price. The Heuse
was evidently wearied of the star route
discussion and in spite of the request of
the representatives of the contractors for
mere time, debate was limited te one hour.
Gen. Hawley was the first speaker. He
said that the committee was willing te
give all the money necessary for the star
service, but at the same tinie it desired the
law te be obeyed honestly. The halloo made
by certain gentlemen that the cemmittee
was legislating against the interests of the
West was the veriest nonsense. Mr. Haw
ley repeated the oft-told tale of Brady's ex
travagance and his queer conduct respect
ing the transmission of the news of the de
ficiency te Congress. He said that the figures
submitted by the department in themselves
demanded investigation. The increase of
compensation allowed by the department
en certain routes was forty-three per cent. ;
much mere than the increase of population
in the West in any one year. There was an
increase of $500,000 in the pay en certain
routes in one year where the annual sales
of postage stamps only amounted te
G4,000.
Mr. Mills of Texas argued against the
amendment, because it would affect the
rert Werth and luma route, which
traverses the state of Texas. He defended
Brady's administration, and charged that
the committee en appropriations had dealt
unjustly with him, because it had made
violent charges against his management,
and had neglected te request the Heuse te
impeach him.
Mr. Hisceek supported the amendment,
and denied that he had any hostility te
the West. The mousy appropriated was
ample te support the service. He asked
the opponents of tlic amendment te point
out a single route where by the amend
ment service would be crippled. Xe one
replied. He admitted that en seventy
three routes the running time would he
somewhat reduced, hut the number of
trips would net be affected. Te illustrate
the looseness of the department's manage
ment he read a part of the testimony of
one of the contractors examined by the
committee.
Messrs. Page, Haskell and Valentine
made speeches against the amendment,
and Mr. Blount closed the debate in a ring
ing five minute speech, showing conclu
sively the absolute justice of the legisla
tion recommended by tlic committee. The
verbal amendments ellered yesterday by
Mr. Blackburn te perfect the text of the
proviso were unanimously agreed te. Mr.
Ewing's motion te strike out the proviso
was agreed te en a vote by tellers of 94 te
71. The lobby had wen the fight and its
members cengratulatad themselves. Their
joy was of short duration however. After
amendments had been proposed, with
drawn, and ruled out of order, Mr. Meney,
by direction of thecemmittee oupestoflices
and postreads. ellered au amendment
which accomplished substantially all that
the rejected amendment of the appropria
tions committee would have done. The
amendment provides that the star routes
shall be relet alter thirty days' advertise
ment, as new provided by law, en the 1st
of October, 1880, en which the pay for ex
pedition of schedules during the fiscal
year of 1879 and 1880 exceeds fifty per
cent, of the contract price before such ex
pedition was granted, provided that the
proviso shall net apply te any contractor
who desires te entiutic his contract as re
duced. This amendment was agreed te by
a vote of 82 te 71.
Tne Russian Floating Prison.
On April 14 the steamer Nijny-Novge-rod.
leaded with criminals and previsions,
left Odessa for the island of Saghalien. On
the steamer there are four hundred male
prisoners, eight female prisoners, twenty
seven women voluntarily accompanying
their condemned husbands two men ac
companying their condemned wives, and
sixty-four children. The Archbishop
Platen performed the solemn thanksgiv
ing service, and prayer was offered for the
long life of the reigning family and of these
sailing away. The archbishop addressed
the women, blessed tliem, and besprinkled
them with holy water ; then the male pris
oners were brought up, and in their turn
received the word of encouragement and
hope. Many of the prisoners wept.
The maie prisoners arc placed 111 lour
departments, one hundred men in each and
the women in two rooms. There are two
hospitals, for males and females, a drug
store and a chapel. There are two sur
geons, one priest, four officers of the in
terior, and a gentleman and his wife te
leek after the conduct of the prisoners. It
is said that the prisoners will receive the
same feed as the crew, te wit, tea at break
fast, soup and meat at dinner, gruel at
supper. All the prisoners are in chains,
but when well out at sea they will be un
chained at least these of them who be
have well. The children and the persons
voluntarily .going te the island enjoy full
freedom. The cargo of the steamer
amounts te 72,000 poeds, or. 2,880,000
pounds 30,000 pounds of grain, and the
rest old iron rails te be used for the con
struction of the horse railroad en Sagha
lien, from the pert te the principal prison
in the central part of the island. Fifty
four soldiers perform guard duty.
Last year the Nijny-Novgerod performed
the same journey in fifty-two days.
Though it was a great success as regards
the health of the prisoners, still it is
found necessary new te take one hundred
fewer than last year. The steamer is
painted white, and displays the imperial
Russian war llag.
