Mr. Blaine is, next to Ben Butler, the most irrepressible man in American pol itics and the fullest of resources. They resemble one another, too, perhaps in the carelessness of the color of the means to their ends. Mr. Blaine's judgment is not always of the best and he may not have made a strong coup in his latest bid for power ; but it is certainly one brilliantly adapted to secure him friends in a section of the country where his friends hare not been so far very many. He proposes to capture the solid Repub lican South and does it by suggesting the transfer of the burthen of its debt to the national shoulders. What the men of Maine may think of this is doubtful, but there is no question about the popu larity of the Idea in Virginia and all the other Southern states. It is naturally refreshing to the Southern hearts, that have lost so much by the late un pleasantness, to find a man in the far North and one from the ranks of their political foes, who is ready to sym pathize with them in Mr. Blaine's prac tical way. They will not be likely to stop to question his motives and to con sider whether he is moved by his phil anthropy or that sense of justice to which he ascribes lib action, and not rather by the selQsh desire to gain for himself popularity with these and the political strength which will accompany the votes he may soon have occasion to ask them for. Mr. Blaine sees the Democratic party in its disposition to be ju3t to the South em people and goes a good deal better than it would venture to go by proposing to be very generous. If any Democratic politician of note had made any such proposition as that of which Mr. Blaine has delivered himself, to load up on the nation the debt of Virginia, he would have been laughed at for his folly, ;in!l his party would have suffered at the Re publican outcry that would have been raised. At once it would have been de clared that this was but an initiatory movement to the payment of the rebel bonds, which long served the Republi c in orators as a bugaboo to hold up be fore the Northern people as a conse quence of Democratic advent to power. But Mr. Blaine being a Republican tho Republican guns are spiked ; and his proposition is able to take its place upon its merits for the consideration of the people, with the certainty that the Southern portion of them will be solid for it, and the further certainty that if it is seen to le a source of strength to Half-Breed Republicanism, that faction will accept it. Democrats can afford to await the developments, content that Mr. Blaine shall have every opportunity to determine tho national popularity of his idea. He has been invited to Richmond by General Wickham, tho straightout Re publican president of tho Virginia agri cultural fair, to deliver the annual ad dress at the exhibition of the associa tion a few days before tho election. It is the straightout Republicans of that state, as distinguished from the Mahone co alitionists, whose cause .Mr. Blaine champions, and in whose behalf he made his late deliverance. The administra tion has joined itself to Mahone and given him full control of the fed eral offices of Virginia, with which to sustain himself. Mr. Blaine per-force takes the other side and euters tlio lists in the style of the plumed knight, in defense of the weaker party ; not being attracted, however, by the weakness of his client, but driven to his position by the fact that his enemy is on tho other side. It does seem, from present appear ances, as though the knight has made a brilliant stroke of strategy, and the result of it will be awaited with great interest. Evidently we are on the eve of new things, and of a general shading up of parties, principles and politicians ; of strange severances and strange alliances. With BJaineentered as a Southern cham pion there will be a chance for Jeff Davis as a Northern knight. New York Republicans. The New York Republican Stal warts, following up the advantage they gained over the Half-Breeds at the convention, have organized the state committee with a strong Stalwart at its head, not even risking the Half Breed convert whom they bought with the lieutenant governor's nomination and who has been the committee's chairman. The committee adopted a resolution strongly denouncing the fraud perpe trated in the forged telegram which gave the Stalwarts their power, but made no motion to right the wrong by giving anything to the naif-Breeds of all that they had been cheated out of. The Philadelphia Press accurately de scribes the situation between the Re publican factions in New York in find ing that " the only thing conceded to the other side is the privilege of doing the voting." The Press is as nearly a hermaphrodite organ between the ad ministration and anti-administration sects and sexes as it is possible to get, and it is able to make a correct portrayal of the condition of its mutual friends. It is in that quiescent condition which enables it to accept the situation for its Half-Breed side and to be content to take the voting as the proper share of the mutual privileges assigned to that faction. In the similar situation pre vailing in Pennsylvania, the Press strad dles it by giving sympathy to tho Half Breeds in its columns and sending its editor to stump the state for the Stal wart ticket. The bulk of the Half: Breeds have, however, no such acrobatic talents, and in New York, as well as in Pennsylvania, they are likely to display their manhood by kicking violently at the ticket which is presented to them to vote for. The New York Republican journals that do not train with the ad ministration represent tho feeling of the voters of their faction in refusing their allegiance to the ticket presented to them. It is quite certain not to receive the undivided support of the party, without which it cannot be elected. What inducement Judge Folger can have to accept a nomination which can not give him an election, it is difficult to see ; and it would seem to be the part of wisdom in him to decline it ; taking ad vantage of the excellent pretext offered him in the confessed fraud by which his adherents secured the control of the con vention. He could personally strengthen himself very much by refusing to profit by this wrong ; and certainly can gain nothing by accepting a candidacy which seems certain to bear no fruit but defeat. Simultaneously with the advent of Quay at the Republican state committee rooms on Monday morning, the tactics of 1878 were revived and his agents sal lied forth to organize the " labor move ment" in Democratic counties. As even the rascals in the pay of Cooper and Quay have sense enough to want to get on the winning side, it was not strange that some of the Star Routers, whom Quay had commissioned, stopped at the Democratic and Independent headquar ters to see if they could sell their ser vices twice again. As the coming of these road agents has been advertised, they will be eagerly welcomed in the quarters to which they have been sent. Quay will find burnt powder a very use less sort of ammunition. Secretary Quay, having taken charge of the Republican state campaign, it is at least supplied with an issue. Tho battle of the bosses is now a struggle for continued control of the pardon board. Another poxy forgery in New York discovered. This thing is getting a little monotonous, to say the least. Tun machine had everything its own way at tho mcctiDg of tho New York state committee yesterday. The people- will have theirs when election day conies 'round. The Steelton Reporter is anxious that Senator Cameron should succeed Folger as secretary of tho treasury. The people are now displaying an overweening anx iety to have the same gentleman buried. As the peoplo arc in tho majority we fear the suggestion of the Reporter will die the death ot the still-born. "There is a profligacy that invades systems, that is wrapped up in statutes, that has the protection of law and the warrant of long usage. It is tho growth of years, has been line upon line written into your legislation, represents tho con centrated ingenuity of a succession of public plunders and extends from tho highest department in the state to the lowest in tho municipality." From Patti- swj's Commonwealth Club Speech. The Mexican Congress has adopted a constitutional amendment providing that "in tho event of the death or removal of the president his successor shall bo the senator who presided over tho Senate during tho month preceding tho vacancy. When tho Senate is not in session the president of tho permanent committee, who is alternately a senator or a deputy, is to succeed, in the case of a permanent vacancy tho electors aro to be convened immediately." Tho chief justico has hitherto been an ex-officio vice president Digitated stockings are now said to be the mode in the East. Digitated means, in plain English, lingered. Tha is to say, the now stockings aro to he foot glooves, as it were, with separate compartments for each too, instead of tho foot mittens now worn, in which tho toes are all encased together. Tho girls are said to bo wild after them, but this reflection should moderato their rapture, namely, that no body except their mothers or their maids will ever know, or at least ought to kuow, whether they are in the fashion or not, so long as tho & tern, hard, nurevealing shoo is worn. Tho new fashion will hardly be much of a " go " wo fear, unless it bo ac companied with a return to sandals or dig itated slippers. There is cause for congratulation among the Democracy of tho entire state in the acceptance by Mr. Hopkins of tho con. gressional nomination in the Twenty second district. In a published letter Mr. Hopkins gives keen expression to his viows on the pending issue, which he de clares to be the overthrow of bossism and tho dethronement of tho corrupt power that has so long disgraced tho government of tho state and nation,. In the present state of affairs, Mr. Hopkins is raoro than likely to win an easy victory over Errett, who stands as tho representative of tho arrogant Cameron domination in its roost vicious form. Mr. Hopkins' record in Congress was aliko honorable to himself and to his constituents, p.nd in his present canvass he wi'l have tho cordial support of tho Democrats and of the Independent Republicans. A harrowino story of woman's cred bilitv and man's indifferenco to tho tender passion has its birthplace in our sister city of Reading. A young girl with prob ably more heart than head, having been cajoled by a meretricious hag into belief in the efficacy of lovo potions, purchased from the aforesaid schemer three dollars worth of " heb druppa " (lovo drops) to iniluenco the waning affections of her sweetheart. Tho effect of the love drops, which wore to bo slyly placed in tho young man's beverage, would bo height ened, the woman claimed, by a powder costing tho additional sum ot one dollar, to be sprinkled upon tho clothes of tho cold-hearted swain. For six weary weeks the girl followed tho directions given her, but her labors were barren of result. The other day she presented herself in tears to one of the cityaldermeu, toll tho talo of her wrongs, and vowed vengeance on the head of tho woman who had deceived her. In our age of modern civilization it is such instances as this that serve to give a Florentine fourteenth century edg ing to - tho very matter-of-fact course of events which go to make up hum drum life as wo have it now, and the flavor of tho good old days comes floating down through tho cDrridors of timo in a way that is in a senso instructive. The Phlpps Case Continued. ThePuipps extradition case came up be. fore Judge Sinclair at Hamilton, Ontario, yesterday. After argument by counsel it was adjourned until October 7th, to pro cure further evidence. THE STATE CAMPAIGN. HOPKINS ACCEPTS THE NOMINATION. He "Will Make the Fight Against Errett in Pittsburgh A Strong Letter Denouncing Botalstn and Declaring for Protection. Hon. James H. Hopkins, who has been tendered the Democratic nomination for Congress in the Twenty-second district against Russell Errett, publishes in the Pittsburgh Dispatch a letter of acceptance. He says: "Cameronism, which has so long cursed Pennsylvania, has spread its baleful influence into other states. It is Mahoneism in Virginia, Couklingism in New York, and has other names elsewhere. It is now known by the generic term of bossism.' It means tho corrup tion of the individual voters, tho de bauching of fegislators, the purchasa of of fices and their prositution to personal ends. It has to an alarming degree destroyed private virtue and public purity. It-has taught and practiced the debasing doc trine that offiM is not a public trust, but merely a machine for controlling conven tions and caucuses. Land grants and subsidies, expedited Star Routes and river and harbor bills aro favorite methods of raiding the treasury for the benefit of those who lend their services and con tribute liberally to perpetuate tho rule of the ring." The writer then says that ho is in favor of protection to American in dustries; in favor of couducting the government upou principles of honesty, and opposed to monopolies, Chinese immi gration, to the profligate expenditure ot public moneys and to tho internal revenue system as it is used to pension idlo parti sans. " Upon these ideas," continues the writer, " I think all good citizons can unite. A victory achieved upon this basis cannot be considered as a party success, but a triumph of tho doctrine ot reform." It is generally admitted that tho Inde pendents will not put up a candidate in the district, and tho fight between Hop kins and Errett promises to bo bitter in the oxtreme. Pbiliideliilila Democrat. Tho Philadelphia Democrats yesterday held their legislative nominating conven tions and ward delegate conventions. There were two conventions held in a number of the wards, and in others no nominations were made. The indications for to-morrow's conventions point to a close contest between John L. Grim and Conrad B. Day for sheriff, John S. Davis having withdrawn, and the nomination of S. Davis Pago and Charles F. Iserainger for city treasurer aud register of wills re spectively. For the judgeship the contest is between Henry S. Hagert and Michael Arnold, with no likelihood of the endorse ment of Judge Briggs. For Congress the nominees will be : First district, John Cadwaladcr; Second, Win. Wurtz Dun das ; Third, Samuel J. Randall ; Fourth, William J. Nead ; Fifth. Tnomas J. Mar tin, tho Independent Republican candi date. Congressional Nomination. Jacob M. Campbell was renominated for congressman by the Republicans of the Seventeenth Pennsylvania district. Tho Democratic convention of tho Four teenth Pennsylvania district nominated Colonel Harry McCormick for representa tive in Congress. The present representa tive is Samuel F. Burr, Republican. Tho Democrats of tho Third representa tive district of Luzerne county, in session at Nanticoke, nominated W. II. Ilines for the Assembly on first ballot. The Huutmgdon Democratic conven tion unanimously nominated R. M. Spcer for tho Legislature, but that gentleman appeared in the convention aud declined the nomination. A ballot was then taken which resulted in tho nomination ot Thos. 31. Adams, of Mount Union, and William Brown, of Dudley, as tho legislative can didate. The Republican convention in the Second district of New Jersey, yesterday nomina ted J. Hart Brewer, of Trenton, for rep resentative in Congress. William Walter Phelps, ex-minister to Austria, has a majority of tho delegates to tho Republican convention of - the Fifth New Jersey congressional district, which meets to-day. Democratic I5u;;aboo. For the Intxlligknceu. Did anybody over? Yes, yes, that's it. Did anybody ever before ? Surely that must bo it. Did anybody ever before or since the world began (or since there has been a political party in tho world that claims to bo tho solo custodian of public virtue) witness such extraordinary efforts as are now being so absurdly and frantically mado by the " Stalwart " wing of the Republican party to prove that even if tho paity is selfish, tyrannical and corrupt, its adherents should just shut their eyes, distend their gizzard and swal low down thoir nauseous elements rather than make an attempt to eliminate them, for fear of tho temporary dominancy of the hateful Domocratio party? There surely has been nothing like it in tho world since tho days when our great grand mothers were wont to frighten the chil dren into docile subjection by threatening them with a visit from "old raw-head and bloody-bones "just as if it were bettor to "shine and stink, and stink and shino" to all eternity, than to bo cleansed by Democratic soap and water. The Republican party may not bo nearly so corrupt (for the sake of tha honor of republican institutions, it is hoped not) as many of its household say it is indeed, it may not ba coirupt at all but, if it is corrupt, and wishes to woik that corruption oat of its systom, it ought not hesitate a momont in applying a thor oughly renovating remedy, oven it' it should bo a tempoiary counteracting poison. Tho oft repeated "scare" that a Democratic snecoss this fall will be the precursor of a Democratic victory in tho fall of 1881, is only intended to unsettle tho minds of those who aro incapable of appreciating and acting from principle, instead of self-aggrandizement. Such an idea is not only illogical and absurd, but it is also disreputable. When Democracy can poll more votes than united Republicans can, then, as a matter of course, it will succeed (if it is not counted out) and it will deserve to succeed ; and that is now the " sheet anchor" of Democratic bono : for. so Ions as political corruption continues, there. can do no guarautee ot a "free election and a fair count ;" and that is all the in terest Democrats have in the present Re publican fight. Of course, tho knowing, tho shrewd and intelligent Republicans don't believe a single word of those consequences to tho country, that are so perseveringly predic ted by their long cared "fuglomen;" namely, " that the success of the Demo cratic party would be ruin to the indus trial interests of tho nation." Tho laws enacted by Congress or the state Legisla tures, are so clearly the laws that apply to all the people of the state or nation, that no political party can claim an immunity or exoneration from their legitimate oper ation, no matter how rich or how poor they may be. Can any of thoso ardent "snneicers" aoout the ruin of Democrat rule explain how a legislative enactment could possibly injuriously affect tho inter est of a Republican, without at thn siria time injuring tho interest of a Democrat ? Aro Democrats such "born fools" that they would "cut a club to break their own heads," merely to oppose Republicanism? Of course, tho party in power may pervert the laws, or work such a one-sided appli cation of them as to benefit their political friends and injure their political enemies, but where laws are honestly ad ministered, there can possibly bo no dis crimination on political grounds ; and any man sufficiently intelligent to be a voter, ought to know this. From tho vast amount of " bosh" of this kind that is scattered over the country by the press, one would suppose that one party had nothing to do but make laws for the tyrannical government of the other party, and itself stand aloof from their operation. That is not exactly "what's the matter" just now, It is the evasion, the perver sion, and the corrupt application of law that is now the curse of tho country. The people are beginning .to see this, and some of them are fostering a determination to put an end to such rule even if their own political preferences aro to be sacrificed. It is far better to suffer tho amputation of an arm or a leg, than that tho whole body should become satuated with disease ; and thoso who cannot see this, and have not the political independence to act ac cordiugly, are not in a condition to become political reformers. But if tho people prefer to continue "eating crow." just bo cause they have been accustomed to it, and for fear of benefiting somebody else, then they aro in good condition to become slaves. Supposo then tho present split in tho Republican party does result in a Demo cratic accession to office (wo cannot now say that such a contingency would be either a triumph or a victory, as that would dopond entirely upon their number of votes as compared with tho combined Re publican votos) it would not irredomably perpetuate Democratic ruls, if they had not the votes to continue tho party in power. Let the intelligent reader (if he is blest with mind and memory) go back to tho days of 1835, when Wolf and Muh lonburg were very unwisely tho Demo cratic candidates for governor of Pennsyl vania ; and Bitnor, tho opp-jjitiou candi date, slipped into temporary power. By tho-by, tho Cameron family had a vast deal to do with that unfortunate division in the Democratic party, and they wero tho very head and front of tho " kickers," too ; it was all right then, because " tho boot was on the other leg." It, however, did not prevent the election of Van Bureu iu tho fall of 18JJG, nor tho election of Porter in tho fall of 1838. And, if it had not been for tho attempt to pre vent the laws by the reckless admonition to " treat the election as if it had not place, and iu that attitude abido tho result," no " Rump " Legislature, and no threatened "buck-shot war" would havo ensued, aud tho successful candidates would quietly have assumed their duties without com motion or delay. Even tho overwhelming triumph of Harrison in 1810 did not pro vent tho election of Polk in 1844. The accession of Lincoln, only rendered possi ble through a suicidal division iu the Democratic party, would have been of temporary duration, had not the " Hot spurs" of tho South criminally precipita ted the country into an unnec :ssary in ternecine war. No legislation could possi bly havo taken place inimical to their cherished institutions, for they had a majority in tho United States Senate, aud subsequent elections showed that Demo cracy was again wheeling into lino. But, abjuring tho 4th of July aud the American flag, turned the scale against them, and could not sccuro a general following. When wrongs exist, tho masses of the peoplo are disposed to right them ; and if ever the timo comes when the people subserviently allow themselves to be bound hand aud foot by party thongs, knowing them to be corrupt, but lacking independence to oppose them, then the government must ultimately resolve itself into an aristocracy or an oligarchy. Sector. STALWART TACTICS IN NfcW l'OKK, Another Caxeof Forged Proxy Drought to Light John 1". Smith Elected State Chairman. Another case of a forged proxy has been developed among the New York Republi cans. Judge A. P. Smith, of Cortland t county, who was a member of tho last committee, was not present at Saratoga, but sent a letter to Secretary Vrooman, of the committee, authorizing him to mako out a proxy aud give it to some Cornell Republican to act for Mr. Smith in the committco- Before tho com mittee met Mr. Vrooman received a dispatch purporting to come from Mr. Smith not to do any thiug in the mat ter until ho heard further from him. Soon after, when the committeo met, a letter or telegram was presented purport ing to come trom Mr. Smith, authorizing Mr. Curley to act for him. This gontlo man voted with the Stalwarts, and it now transpires that tho alleged telegram by which he was empowered to act was also a forgery. Those things are causing posi tivo disgust, in tho minds of a largo class of Republicans, with tho methods that the Stalwarts used to control tho Saratoga convention, and promises to react upon tho ticket. At tho meeting of tho state committco in Now York yesterday John F. Smyth was elected chairman, and E. M. Johnson and Theodore C. Tealo secretaries, Mr. Vrooman. tho Half-Breed secretary of last year retiring. All tho new officers of the committco aro Stalwarts of tho rankest kind. n A WORKMAN'S TERRIBLE INJURIES His Clotlilne Caught In a Lathe and Strip ped from Dim Hist Probable Death. James T. Taylor, an employee in tho West Chester spoke works, Hoapes, Brother and Darlington proprietors, met with a terrible accident just beforo,they were closed on Monday. He was oiling a l.ttho used for boring hubs, when the sleeves of his shirt was caught in the ra pidly revolving machinery. Tho unfor tunate man probably saved his lifo by his presenco of mind, and by catching hold of tho frame of tho lathe. Bcforo the ma chinery could bo .stopped, his clothing, except his boots and bis stockings were literally stripped from his body. Ho was cut and bruised in several parts of his body, but especially in the groin. Dr. John R. McClug, his physician, fears that his injuries aro of such a character that thoy will prove fatal. College Sport. A cane rush between tho sophomores and freshmen of Dartmouth college occur red at Hanover yesterday afternoon . The sophomores, who were stripped to the waists and thoroughly greased, secured the cane after a struggle of tbreo quarters of an hour. Six more sophomores left Easton yes terday, having been suspended for partici pating in tho hazing of Lafayette freshmen last week. This makes eleven in all who havo been suspended. A Duel In the Dark. Fifteen years ago Qeorge Halleubcck aud William Statton quarreled in Pal myra, N. Y. On Monday they met near Carrizo Pass, Texas, aud determined to settle the old fued. They went into a darkened room and fought a duel. Strat- tonnreaiour times, uauenoeck ured, killing Stratton instantly. Hallenbeck was quiet and deluded his antagonist, who located him in the wrong corner. m m Case or Criminal Miscegenation. John Abbott, colored, and Hattio Hol- den, white, are under arrest in Worcester, Mass., charged with the murder of a child whose body was found, having near it a newspaper bearing Abbott's name. Tho girl admits giving birth to a child, of which she says Abbott is the father, and that ho took and disposed of it. Novel Coercioa. The boys who struck at the Somerville, Mass., glass works on Monday for an in creaso of pay all returned to work to-day under a threat of the chief of police that ho would make them go to s-hool. A NEGKO MISEE. HIS SINGULAR MODE OF VENGEAnCE. Bow a Colored .Preacher Acquired Wealth and Wreaked Revenge on the De stroyer of His Happiness. A queer old negro, named Joshua Pro vine Bond-Eddy, died in a small shanty, at No. 511 South street, Philadelphia, at tho extreme age of eighty four. For more than fifty-five years he bad lived in the city, and his only object in life during a great portion of the time was the accumu lation of money. There is a very roman tic story connected with this passion which though not a new one is worth recounting. Eddy was born a slave in the Eastern part of Virginia about March, 1798, and spent most of bis childhood on a plantation. He was moved into Pennsylvania early in this century and by some unexplained means secured his freedom during his sixteenth year. Ho then learned to be a barber and worked in Camonsville. At twenty the icligious fever attacked him at a campmceting. He was seized with a burning desire to preach the Gospel. He could read tolerable well, and, best of all, he bad a sonorous voice and quite a com mand of tho Virginia negro English. He started out on a religious crusade, ac companied by an cxhoiter of great local celebrity named William Paul Green. Reaching Philadelphia when he was only twenty-two years old his " emotional power " com mended itself to Bishop Allen, the distinguished colored prelate of those days. Tlio largest balls in tho city were crowded on every occasion when " the young r.vangcluit " mado his appeal aucc. The Moody aud Saukey revivals weie fully equalled by tho peculiar -excitement of thoso days, and Brother Eddy was made a deacon of tho church. With a popular ovation, iu which thous ands of white citizens of tho Quaker City joined, Deacon Eddy set out for New York. Ho was theie at onco ordained an c'der and allotted the presiding care of eight churches, his ridiug circuit extend ing from tho metropolis to Elizabeth, N. J., thence southwest to Mount Holly and back to Peith Amboy. His heart at this time was wholly given up to tho service or God. During the good man's stay in Phila delphia lie has become smitten with Bish op Allen's daughter, and, after his tri umphs in New York, the alliance was sanctioned by her father aud they were inariied. This step proved to bo the mis take of his life. One night he came home unexpectedly and found that his wife had a lover, and, after the usual delays, they wero divorced. She -became the wife of the lover, and he, for want of anything better to do, became a miser. He swore a sanctified oath that ho would own the bhanty iu which the distardly betrayer carried on a lucrative laundry business. Ho readopted the barber business, wres tled with his stomach and well nigh ceas ed eating to save at every point. His pennies grew to dollars, and one day be had the supreme satisfaction of giving the husband of his faithless wife notice to quit. Tho washman moved around the corner. It became a chase. Eddy held fast to what he had, but by a careful mortgage succeeded iu raising enough cash to buy tho premises in which tho the black Lathario had moved his shop. This time, before ho gave notico, ho got an option on all the vacant shanties in tho neighborhood. From pillar to post ho drove the pair buying houses, leasing others, sub letting, mortgaging aud selling iu turn, as new elements to the struggle presented them selves. In this work of revenge he be came so nervous that nobody would sit in his chair or allow him to manipulate tho razor over his throat, and he admitted the danger often. For the twenty years ho kept up this warfare ho had no time to think of his owu soul or thoso of others ; ho forgot his religion and cluug fast to his revenge, until finally tho husband of his former wile died aud the feud ended. He then turned aud gathered up the threads of his estate and sat down to wait for tho property to enhance. Twelvo years later the woman remarried and married well. This was a great blow, Eddy became desperate, as he was deter mined to mako her regret her slight to him. He converted some o& his property into cash and and gambled iu gold during the war until he became rich ; but just at that moment she died. That ended his strugglo, and he has been sitting down halt starving himself in the midst of wealth ever since. About half a century ago the Eddy family took up their residence iu Colum bia, in this county where the father kept a barber shop and a rcstraurant. In the troublous times of 1835, when the colored people were attacked in several of the cities, tho mob drove them away from their homo aud they fled to Philadelphia. MISHAPS OF THE KAIL The IJlsister to the Circus Tralu. The three men killed by tho wrecking of the ciicns train near Point Lick, Ken tucky, where Benjamin Case, of Pitts burgh ; John Carter, property man, res idence unknown, and Willis G. Under wood, of Mount Vernon, Kentucky. Fourteen were injured, VelIcs Beanford, of Donver. poihaps fatally. The coroner's jury found that tho disaster was caused by the train being run at unusual speed. An eastern express train on the Lehigh Valley railroad ran into tho rear of a local train on the Pennsylvania railroad at East Newark. Two cars of the Pennsylvania train and the Lehigh Valley cngino were wrecked. The engineer and fireman of tho latter saved themselves by jumping off, and no person was injured on the other train, as tho passengers wero in the forward cars. The engineer of tho Lehigh Valley train is blamed for the collision, as a red signal was displayed for him to stop. A street car in Syracuse, New York, was run into yesterday morning by a Delaware & Lackawanna engine and thrown into a ditch, Eight passengers were in the car, none of whom suffered serious injury. A passenger train on the New England railroad, not having been promptly sig naled yesterday ran into the rear of a freight train at Tomantio Station, Conn. Several freight cars wero wrecked and an engine was damaged, but no person was injured. m The American Mechanics. The national council of tho Order of United American Mechanics met yester day in Wilmington, The reports showed an increase of 172 members during the year, the present membership being 10, 1G4. There is a balance in the treasuries of subordinate councils of $272,932 to the general fund, and $69,613 for the widows' and orphans' fund. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: National councillor, William W. Shultz, of Pennsylvania ; national vice councillor, A. B. Crossgrove, of Delaware ; national secretary, James N. Cololy, of Pennsylva nia; national treasurer, Joseph H. Shinn, of New Jersey ; national marshal, J. E. Kimball, of Massachusetts ; national protector, Charles H. Stein, of Maryland ; national doorkeeper, Win. S. Wright, of New Jersey. Explosion In a Furnace. There was an explosion yesterday at tho Colebrook furnace, caused by the breaking of one of the tuyeres. Molten iron and hot water were thrown in every direction, and much excitement prevailed for some time, but fortunately no lives were lost. Johu Shirk was severely burned in the eyes and other employees were slightly scalded. PERSONAL JoAquix Miller, the poet of Sierras, is again speculating in Wall street. Mrs. Desnisox, tho wife of War Gov ernor Dennison's son, made her debut in comio opera in St. Louis tho other night. Charles Parrish, of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre company, employs 10,000 bauds, and his pay-roll amounts to $3, 600,000 per annum. Sir Henry Halford aud a majority of the members of the British rifle team sailed for England yesterday in the steamer Arizona. James H. Graham, for many years president judge of the Ninth Pennsylva nia district, and professor of law in Dick inson college, died yesterday in Carlisle. The Prince of Wales, accompanied by his wife and the two young princes, has gono to Abergeldie for a month's en joyment of Highland air. Danenhoweu and Melville have been seen riding together through tho suburbs of Washington. The natural inference is that they are not unfriendly. Miss Kate Pattison tho young actress who will accompany Mrs. Langtry to this country, is a beautiful and vivacious young Englishwoman. She belongs to a family of fair social rank. M. Coustan, the French minister at Washington, is said to have applied for leave of absence. He will go to Paris in November for tho purposo of making ap plication for a transfer from Washington to some new post iu tho Orient.
