iLanrastrr IitfcUigenrcr. SATUEDAY EVENING, OCT. 29, 1881. Mr. Miller's Little Game. Sir. Cyrus P. 3Iiller, late candidate for judge in the Dauphin Lebanon dis trict, may. think that his Lebanonfcon Lebanenfcon Lebanonfcen stituents will net understand that he has been playing with them for his own ad vantage, but there must be a great deal of stupidity in that region of country if his little game is net fully comprehend ed. Mr. Miller, a lawyer of the Leba non bar, of net the most elevated repute, and who in-the bell um days was ridden en a rail because of unappreciated trans actions in bounty matters, became lately the candidate of the Lebanon Republi cans for the judgeship, for which the Dauphin Republicans presented Simon Simen Simon ten, Then arese apparently the fiercest antagonism between the adherents of tlte two men, and they " lit and lit" in seemingly the mer.l determined man ner. Finally, " anyone but Simonton"' beeame the Lebanon cry and Dauphin howled back ' nobody but .Simonton." Lsbauen proposed innumerable plans of adjustment of the fairest kind and with the greatest confidence, knowing that they would net be accepted. The outside public thought it was an internecine fight in which both combatants would pL-rishand a Democratic judge Ikj elect ed. The Democrats get a little excited and found a candidate away off in North ampton county, who didn't see the true inwardness of the Simonton -Miller bat tle and entered the apparently promis premis ing field of adventure. We notice that none of the old Lebanon birds were caught by the chaff. Grant Weid man would have made a geed judge, and we suppose would have ascended the bench with thankful alac rity if he had net detected and distrust ed the rottenness of the ladder offered te Democratic judicial aspiration. The Lebanon lawyers knew Miller te. well te believe with any firmness of faith that he would stay in the field with nothing te make when something geed was te be gained by getting out ; and their head-shaking isjustilied. Mr. Miller has get out. "What else he has get we knew net, but that he has net given the judgeship te Simonton, his mortal fee, without a satisfactory con sideration, well secured, may be as sumed with a great deal of cenlidence. The final dodge devised te cover his sur render is quite loe transparent te deceive the thickest headed fellow even in Lebanon. It was simply an agreement te select one arbiter out of the Republican state central committee by alternately striking the members till only one should be left. The majority of that committee being controlled by Cameren,aud therefore by S"imonten,the result would inevitably be the selection of a Simonton arbiter ; which, of course, Mr. Miller foresaw and se fore ordered Iiis opponent's success. If his cr mplaeency was net for adequate cause his neighbors de net knew him. A Tardy Explanation. Attorney General Palmer, at this laic day, advises a I'rea;: reporter who inter viewed him en the subject, that Kemble was pardoned only because he was un lawfully sentenced ; and, furthermore, that he was net pardoned. He was net pardoned because he was net relieved from that part of the penalty for his offence, which lay in the line and in his exclusion from any office of trust or profit under the commonwealth. The latter punishment of itself Mr. I "aimer considers te be a veryeverc one in this country, and he is quite right. The sentence of imprisonment was one te hard labor in the penitentiary, when in the attorney general's opinion it could only lawfully have been te imprisonment in the Dauphin county jail without labor. He truly says that if Judge L'ier L'ier sen had no right te sentence Kemble te the penitentiary thcsenler.ee should net have been enforced because " no govern nienl can afford te punish the meanest or guiltiest criminal except as the law directs." That is very clear. But it is equally clear that no govern ment can afford te release a criminal who has been sentenced te a penitentia ry instead of a jail, if that sentence can be amended te its lawful form. The question for the attorney general te an swer is this : If, as.be claims. Kenible's sentence was indisputably uiilawf ul,ceuld net the Parden beard have done him and the state exact justice by recommending his counsel te go before Judge Pierson, re presenting te him the error in his sen tence and asking for the reformation ? Dees the attorney general think that Judge Pierson would net have dealt justly by Mr. Kemble ? Or that it would net have been quite time enough for the Parden beard te attempt te de him jus tice when the judge had refused te repair the wrong ? That is admitting that one was done, about which Judge Pierson 's opinion may differ from that of the attorney general, and if it does the su preme court is the only proper tribunal te correct him. But it was a very little wrong, if any, that was done Kemble. He did net care for the penitentiary probably. It was Hobsen's choice between it and the jail. What he did want was his liberty. And it will be very difficult indeed for the attorney general te persuade the pjeple that it was properly given him. The reason which he new gives as one se powerful that it, of its own force, opened the penitentiary gates te Kemble might with better effect have been pre sented when the pardon was given. Then, for some reason, it does net seem te have been considered advisable te in form the public of its compelling force. Mit. Wolfe keeps right straight en in his independent canvass for slate treas urer and his fierce warfare against the bosses of his party who nominated Baily. He has net, however, done himself, or Gov. Heyt the justices te make geed or retract his charges that the governor was speculating with thoslate's moneys. This emission is a weakness en the part of Mr. Wolfe which may de, him andhiscau.se hurt But a great many people are going te vote for Wolfe who like his cause better than himself liu meetings are well attended and rnfliU ably officered, and wherever In: gees I these demonstrations are followed by manifest evidences of the moral force of able, honest and intelligent Republicans putting themselves te the fore, publicly and boldly, as supporters of his belt.

A Texas rancher described te a Sunday school missionary the moral condition of the section in which he lived by saying that it was "herded, lariated aud belled by Satan.

Daniel, the Democratic can didate fur governor of Virginia, passed through Baltimore yesterday en his way te the eastern shore of Virginia, where he is te make several addresses. He was entertained by an association of Virginians, and made an after-dinner speech, in which he " expressed confidence in the success of the Democratic ticket, and declared that the people of Virginia would net per mit the state te be dishonored by the re pudiation of her bends, for which she had received a dollar in cash for every dollar in bends.

Jei: J eii-'EKen, the famous actor, has incurred the diplcasurc of the Ladies Sab bath association of St. Leuis by acting there ou Sunday. He explained that he was averse te playing en Sunday, and only agreed te de se in St. Leuis, because the management suggested that there were no conscientious scruples concerning it. The ladies in a letter te himsay : " Vari ous patties have been heard te express rc gict that you have been induced te play here en the Sabbath, as they say it w ill prevent them from seeing you in your new play, as they have determined te set their faces against, all actors who play ou that day, aud all huttsus which permit Sunday theatricals." Sum eueuv having inquired why gospel ears should net be attached te passenger trains as well as smekiusr cars. Conductor llatris, of the Old Colony railroad, an sweied that the suggestion is a practical one. He writes: "There are hundreds of Christian men, who delight in the worship of Ged, who spend from six te twelve hours per week en the railroad between home and business. New why net utilize this time te the glory of Ged ! Hew fitting it, would be for the business of the day. Instead of card tables have an organ or piano, have the scats arranged facing the centre of the car. Instead of spittoons have a carpet ; instead of cards have Bibbs aud gospel song books.. I venture twenty years' railroad experience that the thin. is practicable." Tin': Sunday Scheel Time has the fol lowing : " If the Sunday school is a sing ing .school, then the manner of singing ought te receive a large share of attention while the singing is in progress. But if the Sunday school hour is a sacred hour, aud the singing is a part of its exercises of worship, the teaching of music ought te be arranged for at another time than then, and the singing of a hymn ought net te be interrupted for the purpose of giving sing ing lessens. If it is right te run the two things together worship and method teaching in the service of praise, why net in the service of prayer? Imagine a school trying ihat in the Lord's prayer! "-Our Father who art in heaven ' Held en there,' says the superintendent. 4 Try that ever again; all together. 2?eic, then' ' Our Father,' Step ! Net "Our Father," but " Our Father."

'Steady there! Steady! That word "hallowed" is te be spoken softly, reverently. Don't blurt it out as if you were driving oxen.' A geed way of promoting reverence that would be wouldn't it? Did you ever hear of any thing of that sort in the service of praise?" PERSONAL. General James A. Beavek4 of Pennsyl vania, is mentioned in connection with the governorship of Arizona. Senater Warner Miller II. B. of New Yerk, will speak iu bchall of the bosses' candidate for state treasurer at the Acad emy of Music,. Philadelphia, te-night.

He occupies two furnished rooms in a pleasant home en Friend street, Aines bury, and his life therein is that of a stu dent, simple and hard-working. One of the sufferers .by the paitiality shown New lerk in cabinet selections J may be Congressman Frank IIisceck, who finds his speakership aspirations ob structed by the fact ihat his state is get ting se powerful a standing in national politics, with the president and two cabi net officers already from New Yerk, that te select a speaker from that locality would, in (he opinion of members from ether states, notably the West, give a dis proportionate share of honors and power te the Empire state. Hisceek's oppo nents, it is reported, are using this argu ment with effect, and if he is defeated it will probably be ou this account, although Ohie fattened en this "idea." A DAY OF DISASTERS.

A disastrous axplosien took place yes terday in Washington iu the fulminate room of the ordinance department of the navy yard. It was caused by the taking lire of a rocket which ene of the workmen were charging. The inner walls of the building were demolished. Gcerge Lawrence was instantly killed and Geerge W. Bates and Marien Thompson scverly wounded. Open Switch Wrecks a Train. The 9 o'clock train for Niagara, which left the North Pennsylvania railroad depot, Philadelphia, yesterday morning, met with a bad accident at Scllersville, about thirty miles from the city. Near that place there is a dejpeut, the embankments being about forty feet high and the pas pas sage quite narrow. As the train ap proached at a speed of about twenty-eight miles an hour, and just at a turn, the en gineer, Jehn Welsh, who lives in German town, discovered that the switch was open. He put down the brakes as quickly as possible, but tee late te keep the train from avoiding the danger. The engine shot forward, and ran, perhaps, the length of the train beyond the switch, when it was upset, and completely wrecked, the tender crushing upon it.. All the coaches were twisted into zigzag positions, and thcre can be no question, if the speed of the train had net been checked, the cars would have all been wrecked, and the less of life great. The fireman, who steed back upon the tender, jumped at the right moment and escaped serious injury. His first thought was te draw the fires and then te drag the en gineer from the cab. The latter received terrible injuries, his skull aud arras -being fractured, and he died.Tuc passengers many of whom were bruised by tha-sudden shock, which threw them off their scats, alighted as rapidly as possibly, and .their first act, when the nature of the engineer's condition was discovered, was te make up a handsome purse for him. It will be given te his family. The courage of the fireman, Geerge A. Bend, was generally commended. The Ittver Beat's Disaster. Further accounts of the sinking of ihe steamer Jennie Gilchrist, ou the Mississip pi above Reck Island, owing te the reck lessness et a drunken crew who ran her agafust a bridge pier, show that when the danger became apparent a Mr. Skiltpn at once rushed into the cabin, telling the passengcis of the accident which had hap pened, aud urgiug them te take refuge en the barge He notified the pilot, who ex claimed : " Why don't they de some thing ! Fer Ged's sake, de something !" and blew his whistle as a siirnal of dis tress. The pilot then left his wheel, giving it a turn for pert, and made a break for the barge, crying, as he went down stairs, " Save yourselves she is going te strike the bridge !" In the cabin everybody was frantic ; the women were crying and the men were about as useless. Ne ene seemed te have any idea what te de. The crew, with the exception of the pilot, Uerrand, the clerk, engineers aud firemen, are reported te have been drunk aud as terror stricken as the ethers. As the steamer drifted down upon the pier she partly turned and presented her- star board te the pier, striking it just aft of the boilers. Eight persons had taken re fuge en the barge, and as it swung around te the left of the pier they cast off the stern end aud spriug lines. The bow line was fastens! te the ilathead, and when it was cast off the flat swung te the right. She hit a little aft of the boiler heads and broke them in, causing a rush of scalding steam, nearly suffocating these in the barge whose only hepe was in lying down' en the deck. Iu the cabin of the beat they could hear the cries and means of the fated passengers who had remained there, while the crew in the fercastlc werj ap'pcaliug loudly for help. The barge drifted off te the left, followed by the beat and tlic flat following it. Near Page, wesen a ue."s mm it stranded. The Evansvillchad heard the cries for help and put out from Reck Island te, the res cue. In about twenty minutes it came upon the stranded barge and rescued twelve passengers from their perilous sit uation, carrying them back te Reck Island. Besides the twelve saved en the barge, there wcre five picked up en the shore who had clung te the wrcck,one being a woman who had displayed re markable pluck. ine ioiiewing is a list ei me saved as far as known : Passengers J. II. Ways, Mrs. Went, C. B. Davenport, Themas Harts, T. McClelland, W. G. Skelton. Crew Billy Brown, Jehn Mess, Jehn Shuber, clerk ; Jehn Gilchrist, captain ; Mr. Derrand and Herr, pilots. Twe engi neers, and three mere of the crew wcre also rescued. Other passengers might have 'been saved if they had yielded te the en treaties et the mere cool headed who went anions them before the steamer struck the pier aud urged them te get en beard the barge. The latter even tried te drag them from the cabin, but they were se terror stricken and powerless that they could make no effort te save -themselves. There were seventeen persons in all lest. There seems te be no doubt that the steamer was totally unfit for the work, 'ex pected from her. She was heavily laden and most of the crew were drunk". She was net licensed . te carry passengers. Tbese known te be lest are passengers J, Zuber, William Went and daughter, Mrs, James Trever, Miss Sadie Temple and four ether names unknown. The crew James Sanferd, fireman ;'J, B. Temple, steward ; William Watchman and four negre deck bauds names unknown. STATE ITEMS. Jehn Calbcr. of Mauch Chunk, had bis right leg cut off at Packerton. The injury was fatal.

They are all first-class and people knew them. Seme ene writes an editorial for the Footlight this week in which the author makes seme grave charges against the holders iu this city of correspondent's cards for out-of-town dramatic and sport ing papeis. These cards entitle the hol der te an admission te each entertainment given in the opera house, provided the manager sees fit te recognize them. There are new nine papers represented in this city by correspondents, aud most of them, as the Footlight says, fail te de the work expected of them, merely retaining their little pasteboards te enable them te make their way into enteitainmeuts. The Foot light charges that seme of these se-called correspondents secure credentials from newspapers and then, instead of writing for them,-they sell the pasteboard te the highest bidder. It speaks of one instance where one of these pests sold his card te a dead head for 15 and 1,000 cigars. By this transaction the purchaser is enabled te get into every snow ana does net have te worry about writing any letters for the journal which he has gall enough te claim te represent. The Footlight publishes a list of the papers represented here and it includes nearly all, except the New Yerk Clipper, that,give the stage any attention. Why docs it net publish a list of the men repre senting these journals with the full par ticulars of all these sneaking trausactieds ? Several of the papers are represented by young men against whom nothing can be said, who de their work well and are net guilty of crookedness. They should net be classed draeng the ether "deer bracers" and the Footlight should clear their skirls by publishing the names of the guilty enes. One thing is certain, and that is that both theatrical managers and dramatic news papers are degraded by some qf these professional beats, and the sooner the former refuse te enceuaging them and the latter fail te engage their valuable ser vices, the better it will be for both. But these are net the only men in town who play deep games in order te beat managers. Fast Trains.
