The memory of the eldest inhabitant easily runs back to-ttie times when, for a brief period, opposition to thejnsUtution of FreeMaKmry wtrIntenseTH)Htical IfMia fltul pynlar 1nfrrfll in the dis- aonearance :ind death of William Mor L gan, an alleged exposer of the secret order then so implacably antagon ized, has not yet died out. It was npt-, difficult-, in, -the then in flamed atate of feeltog&Ws theanti Masoas believe that the Masons had spirited Morgan away, if they had not secretly murdered him ; and when a corpsevvMifomd resabblimg Morgan's, thort whose Interests lay in such repre sentations Jnere as ready to believe and swear that itwas his without due inden tificatton, as the Masonic party were ready to maintain that their opponents, at Thnriow. Weed's instigation -and under his direction, had mutilated a corpse to make it appear like that of the missing' man, so 'that it might at least be " a good enough Morgan until after the election.?', Time has greatly softened the asperi ties of that day's discussions and in deed it is very doulitf al whether our politics of to-day have anything like' the bitterness of 'the ante-war period. It is unlikely that, the impartial .student of .our political history can find any substantial evidence that 'Morgan was murdered, on the one hand, or, upon the other, that the offense charged upon Mr. Weed's party .was .committed. But evi deadly .the famous politician who has just diejj'felt that the, charge resting upon him' was a stigma, under which he was uncomtortame. Accordingly, ne fore his death he made affidavit to a statement which is printed in the Xew York Sun of to-day, reviewing the ex citing.incidents'of Morgan's disappear ance aad the finding of a dead body over the identification of which there was such hot dispute. Mr. Weed denies the offense attributed to him and relates his experience in tracing the real causes of Morgan's disappearance. The facts as he relates them are not new. Mr. Weed's garrulousness in his old age left little for him to say for the first time so late as the date of this affidavit, Sept. 28, 1832, and the story which he has related to prove that Morgan was murdered rests upon very flimsy evi dence. It is supported only by the ex parte and unsworn statement to Weed of an alleged participant in the drowning of Morgan. It would not have been ac cepted certainly it would not have been conclusive in a court of justice, and it will not be accepted by the impartial pub lic judgment Mr. Weed's disclaimer of the crime charged upon himself is not strengthened in the least by his feeble effort to fasten a more odious one upon others. m m Cablact Making. Notwithstanding the reported assur ances of Mr. Pattison that he would not make nor announce his cabinet appoint ments until Jan. 1, and that any deter mination reached before that time would be subject to change, the newspapers continue to indulge in speculations and affect to report certain conclusions reached in this matter. The Eccning Telcgraxh of yesterday publishes some gossip on the subject in which the blun ders and errors are only equalled by those of an article in to day's Press In tended to correct the Telegraph. Mr. I'attisbn acts wisely if he adheres to his reported determination to make no appointments and to finally conclude nothing with regard to the personnel of Jus councillors until he has had more 'time to consider this delicate matter and until nearer the dale when it is nec essary that those who have been ap pointed should know it. But if the governor elect has tendered the secretaryship of state to Hon. W. S. Stenger and he has accepted it as the preponderance of opinion fixes it he has secured one appointee whose selection will give general, satisfac tion. It is an appointment entirely fit to be made. Mr. Stenger is an able lawyer and a man whose public life has given proof alike of his integrity, his capacity and his courage. He proved his political strength by election to Congress twice from a Republican district, and served with distinction on the floor and in such responsible positions as a member of the judiciary committee and of the Pot-' ter investigating committee. Only,geo-! graphical considerations for the better distribution of the nominees prevented1 his selection by the last state convention of his party as its candidate for con-gressman-at-large. During the canvass the state committee bad no more ready and effective auxiliary on the stump than' Mr. Stenger. If he has been invited into the cabinet of the next governor and "has-accepted, Mr. Pattison, his -party and the commonwealth are to be congratulated. Tfte State ef Holiness. All is .quiet again along the financial lines. The oil flurry is over, the stock market has recovered and the iron busi ness is found still on its legs. The peo ple', who thought everything was going to smash, have revised their calculations and have discovered that the world is not coming to an end so soon r.s they thought Tnere is no reason f or any ap prehension about the business of the coun try, which is yet prosperous. One good sign of this Is the briskness of the carry i ng trade. The Pennsylvania railroad and the Beading railroad have a great deal more to do than they have the cars and motive power to get through with. Cars frequently lie at Columbia for nearly a fortnight because of the inability to sup ply engines to move them although the company has secured all the engine from other roads thatlt can obtain. For a year past there has been a terrible cry for cars on this road. They ought to have been by this time supplied in sufficient quantities. The management has lacked the boldness to supply the demand, fearing that it was of tempo rary character. Last week it got cour age to ask proposals for four thousand freight cars, but onfthe day tlie con tracts were to be given out the drop came in the stock market and President Roberts seems to have been alarmed by it, since he stopped suddenly the nego tiations for most of the cars. Tuk Wheeling nail manufacturers aie reported to have successfully tried the use of a low grade of Bessemer steel, and to be preparing to make tibeir nails entirely out of this material, -which can be made at a muoli less cost than iron. The cheapness of the Bessemer steel ingot has long since been recognized 'as certain eventually to cause it to supply the place of the puddled iron, which is manufactured verj extensively by manual labor, wherever it will answer instead of it. If nails can be cut from it, one extensive use of iron will be gone. Doubtless it will be supplanted in many other uses ; but there is no great danger that the puddler's occupation will ever be entirely cone, or that malleable iron will be superseded by steel in most of its uses. As the world grows in popula tion and wealth, increased quantities of iron, as well as of all other manufac tures, w.ll be required, and the iron worker maybe as sure of his occupation as any other craftsman. ' Attention is called to the fact that the surname of the president before Buchanan is pronounced " P-u-r-s-e." This is timely information. The Doylestown Dtmoerat, Pottsville Chronicle, Northern Tier Reporter and Reading Neies are among the many intel ligent newspapers that are tickled at the idea of a quiet and .economical state in auguration without any fuss and feathers. The state department has never experi enced so much diftenlty in securing the correct returns from the different counties and congressional districts as daring the present year. It is now three weeks since the election was held, yet the fall returns for congressmen have not yet been re ceived, two of the districts being miss ing. Though the newspapers tell us that Thanksgiving viands are unusually high this year it is not likely that the turkey and cranberries will taste any less tooth some for all that next Thursday. At the same time it especially behooves those who have been blessed with abundance to be liberal in their remembrance of the poor at this time when the articles considered indispensable for Thanksgiving diet are quoted so high. Union town, in this state, has a fertile genius who, in the period of a few years has found the famous Turkish general, Omar Pasha, to be the "sou of a well known " barber of that town ; later on he found Cetowayo, the Zulu king, to be the "son of a well-known " negro of the suburbs of Fayette county's capital ; proceeding further in his researches the historian discovered John Dunn, the chief of the South African Boers, was no other than " the son of a well known" Dutch saloon keeper of this same Uniontown ; during Sara Bernhardt's tour of the United States announcement came from the same quarter that tho famous actress was the "daughter of a well-known" French Jew. formerly located at Uniontown. Arabi Pasha aud tho False Prophet of Soudan have been his latest captives ; and a stupe fled public may confidently expect to find from this veracious correspondent that Mrs. Langtry, the Jersey Lily, is a product of Uuiontowu's prolific soil. There exists iu Philadelphia among the Presbyterian clergy and laity considerable interest in regard to the question of min isters wearing the gowu in tho pulpit. The discussion now in progress over tho matter arose from Rev. Dr. Dickey, of Calvary church, having appeared so at tired beforo his congregation on a iccent Sunday. The Calvary pastor, in response to criticisms called forth by this action, says that he is not making an innovation, since tho first pastor of Calvary wore the gown for ten yoars. He points to the fact that several other Presbyterian clergymen in Philadelphia regularly appear in their pulpits wearing the gown, aud that in New York it is the rule rather than the exception, while in Europe the i Presbyterian clergy invariably preach in the insignia of their ministerial office. Nevertheless Dr. Dickey's action is said to have greatly incensed many of the blue stockings of Calvary congregation, though well-informed clergymen and others admit the minister's perfect right to wear the gown if ho so desires Ik contrast with the laws prevailing in many of the states of the Union which forbid the printing of a device of any kind upon eleetion tickets and require them to bo in plain roman type, freo from all distinguishing marks, wo' have been furnished with copies of the tickets voted by the respective parties at the late elec tion in California. The ward tickets voted in the city of Oakland are the size of ordinary handbills and contain the names of every state, county, township and ward officer voted for in the county. There are thirty-nine names in all printed upon a single sheet of tinted paper. Tho Democratic ticket is sur mounted by a large engraving of an eagle with outstretched wings and bear ing in his beak a streamer with the le gend " Economy and Reform." There is also a cut of the American flag, while ex tending across the entire top of the sheet are inscribed the words " Regular Demo cratic Ticket." The Republican ticket is similar in size and form and is surmount ed with the coat-of arms of the state and the inscription "Regular Republican Ticket, 1882." When it is considered that in Mississippi a man elected to Congress was for a long time deprived of his seat from the fact that an extra "dash" was printed on the ticket bearing his name the same being held to be a " distinguish ing mark," and that in some counties of Pennsylvania it is required that the names of candidates for the several offices, state, county and local, to be voted for shall each be printed on a separate ticket and deposited in separate boxes, it will be seen how widely the laws vary on the import ant subject of the ballot in different sec tions of the country. MAKING THECABINET. SOME PALPABLr. MISSTATEMENTS COKKEtirjCU. Mr. Ileusel Make o intertbreut-a. Appll. ration. Recommendation ur i'rotesU. The following appears iu the Philadel phia Kmtiwj Telegraph of yesterday and is copied into the Record of to-day : " The appointment of Mr. Stenger a3 secretary of the commonwealth and of Mr. Cassidy as attorney general is known to be objectionable to Chairman W. U. Hensel, of the state committee. Mr. Hensel was in town on Saturday eveaing and dined with Editor in Chief Charles E. Smith, of the Press, and is credited with being the inspiration of the ' ITarrUburg ' dispatch which appeared in the Press this morning, in wbioh Mr Stenger is thus commented upon : ' Mr. Stenger represents that por tiou of the younger Democratic party which idolized and then martyrized Mr. Tiklen. He is a man of talent, but there are reasons why he should not be placed in a position where he might imbue the new, young and vigorous administration of Gov. Pattison with a spirit whioh belongs to the disastrous past." "In relation to the possible appointment of Mr. Cassidy as attorney general, the same correspondent says : 'After all that has been said it is feared that the appoint ment ot Mr. Cassidy would lessen Mr. Pattison's influence not only iu his party, but among the people, with whom he has always been strong. The relations be tween the two men, it is argued, would be liable to be misunderstood. The Republi cans would insist that Cassidy was the real power and Mr. Pattison's actions would likely be ciubanassed, and thero might grow una rivahy between llus friends of each. Mr. Cassidy, having the governor to understand that ho wants the office, will, of course, do nothing el. There will be no contest as far he is concerned ; aud there really could ba none, for there is oo higher authority with the governor than Mr. Cassidy's wish." ' So far as Mr. Hansel's name is con nected with this publication it is utterly untrue. He this morning sent the follow ing dispatch : L.VXC4STKH, Pa., Nov. 28, 1882. Editor Philadelphia Ecenirw Telegraph, J'hiludelphia, 1'a. The statement in yesterday's Telegraph that Mr. Stengor's reported appointment as secretary of state is objectionable to me is unqualifiedly false. I did not dine with any editor of the Press on Saturday. I have not written nor inspired any article in the Press, nor iu any newspaper, except the Intem.igexceb, on the subject of Mr. Pattison's appointments. W. U. Hensel. To pi event auy further misapprehen sion it is proper to add that Mr. Hensel himself as his friends have well under stood is not and has not baeu a candi date for nor willing to accept any public officp. Very soon after the election he said : "Tho fidelity to public trust and capacity for official duties which have been dis played heretofore by Mr. Pattison will not fail him in the higher office. The executive position demands at this junc ture just the qualities which ho will bring to it. Tho breadth and thoughtfulness with which his campaign speeches have been marked have astonished as well as delighted the people. They need have no fears of failure on his part to deal broadly and courageously with overy question that will arise. He has hereto fore shown a discrimination in the choice of his official assistants to which may be safely loft tho selection of his advisers and administrative agents. To embarrass him with the importunities of office hunters will not only ba wrong to him, but to the party aud the state. Xo man more ch-aily recognizes tiian the governor-elect, that tho success of his administration and tho future of the Pennsylvania Democracy depend upon the freedom with which he is allowed to pick his councillors of state and distribute his patronage since thai offensive term must be invoked to fitly describe it regardless of the ' shrieks of locality,' or the 'claims' of 'party work ers,' or even tho considerations of personal friendship I am very emphatically of tho opinion that tho organization should bo kept out of the hands of the officeholders and office hunt ers. Thestrength of the Committee of One Hundred is largely due to this determina tion on its part. The tendenoy of office holders to orgamzc and run tho machine for their own protection and the practice of associating parsons iu party manage ment so as to afterwards claim a division of tho spoils for services rendered has led to the prevailing popular protest against the ' boss system.' We must rise a novo that. Xo man should be identified with the control of tho Democratic organization who holds office or who could be reason ably suspeoted of running tho machine for his own present or future interest." If auything more needs to be taid, it may be added here, once for all, that Mr. Hensel has not made, nor signed, nor will he make or sign any applications or re commendations for or protests against appointments. Having returned to his editorial desk and duties in the Intelligencer office, when Mr. Hensel has views to express on matters of public or party policy they will be found iu the columns of this paper, which has at least the reputation of being frank and outspoken.

Four tall young men atti acted much attention among the crowd of passengers in ine jersey city depot of the f ennsylva ma railroad on Saturday evening. Two of them were seven feet tall and broad in proportion, a third was about six feet eight inches, and the fourth, a boy, was-a little over six seet. They are brothers aud of the Shields family from Texas. The tallest are twins and are 24 years of age. Tho boy is IS years of age. They said their father was seven feet high, and that they bad three brothers in Texas of that height - s An Aged Beggar Found Deal In a Hovel.

Con troller Pattison and his companion cam. I paiguero icit me uroaa street station as j o'clock in the morning for a trip to Pitts burgh and other points in Western Penn sylvania, including the famous coke region of Westmoreland and Fayette counties. Mr. Pattison had expressed some restless ness at what seemed the too frequent ab sence from his official duties and Chairman Hensel, in order that every moment of tune might be fully utilized, made his schedule of the trip an exacting one. The arrangements for the first day contemplated meetings at Huntingdon, Tyrone and Al toona, at which place the night was to bo spent. The second day provided for a much more laborious work, to meet which every energy had to ba strained both on the part of those who participated in the excursion and tho facilities for transporting them. A meeting at Johns town, a stop at Latrobn and a mass con vention at Greensburg made ample provi sion to prevent ennui during the forenoon.1 Two hours in Greensburg was allowed for speeches and dinner and then, by an ar rangement with tho South Pennsylvania railroad, the party was conveyed through the coke regions of Westmoreland county to Connellsville, in Fayette county, the central as well as the pioneer city of that great industry. A mass meeting of im mense proportions held the gubernatorial candidate thero for upwards of an hour, so that the shadows of evening were impend ing when a special train was boarded to convey the party to Pittsburgh, there to meet an engagement in the evening. Hensel doubled back to speak in Greens burg at a night meeting, aud assigned the management of the paity to J. M. Guffey, of TitUBville. John Sampsel, master mechanic of the road, had charge of tho train, aud Thomas Johnston, train master took a seat with the engineer in the cab. Time was pressing, and as the programmo provided for a stop for lunch at the Guffey homestead and for salutes at MoKoesport and Braddoek's considerable concern was felt as to the probability of reaching the destination on time. The train officers were confident, however, and pulled out with hopeful hearts. The engineer was one of the most trusted employes on the road. His pride in tho iron horso over which he presided was stimulated by Democratic enthnsiasm, and ho soon struck a lightning gait, bounding over the rails at the rate of nearly a mile a minute. Tho spaed attained inspired confidence in the doubting minds, and tho best of humor prevailed among the passengers. Thus happily situated, no special inci dent occurred until Buena Vista was reached. At that point the road makes a sharp curve as the bed winds around a bend in the Monongahela river. As a pre cautionary measure tho speed was slack ened to a rate of forty miles an hour in stead of nearly sixty, which was previously being made. Suddenly the signal of down brakes was sounded three times in shrill and quick succession, and the train was brought to a stand with neither town nor crowd in sight. To all inquiries as the cause of this tho officers of tho train remained silent. Ominous looks and hasty movements betrayed unusual excite ment, however. The delay was brief and iu a few moments tho motion was re sumed. It was still two miles to Guffey's and that distance was covered at a snail like pace that implied some difficulty, but no one could learn the real trouble, and, for that matter, no one had any concep tion of it. The train men kept their own counsel and tho passengers were ignorant that they had just passed through a dan ger from which escape was a miracle. To explain : As the curve was reached tho parallel rod on tho upper side of tho locomotive had broken iu two. The ends fell, and with each revolution of tho driv ing wheels sti uck the ties with such force that, to emply the expression of Mr. Guffey, the cross-ties were splintered into toothpicks. For an eighth of a mile ovcry tie was thus broken into fragments and the track torn up in a frightful manner. On the first revolution of tho wheel aftor the break ono of tho pieces struck tho iron seat upon whioh the engineor sat with such force that he was thrown backward out of the cab and lit in the tonder on top of the coal heap. Recovering, he hastened back to his post, reversed the onginc, whistled down brakes and stopped the train as speedily us it was possible. Few persons wero acquainted with the facts, but the writer was among those let into tho secret. In con versation with tho officers of the train sub f equently he was informed that tho escapo was simply miraculous, tho engineer re marking that iu all his experiences of railroading no such incident occurred. On the ono sido was the precipitous bank of the river. According to the theory of railroaders, if the break had occurred on that sido the end of the rod would have fallen perpendicularly and at once derail ed the Hying train, throwing it over tho embankment. If the break had occurred five minutes sooner the same result would heve been inevitable. But on tho curve as it fortunately occurred and on tho de cline side, tho broken ends of the rod maintained by force of circumstances an angle that saved the train from a disaster that must have been fatal to all on board. NII.SSOM SCBKNADKO. Enthusiasm Among tbe Swedish Nightin gale's Countrymen. Christine Nilsson was serenaded Mon day night at Victoria hotel, Fifth avenue, and Twenty Beventh street, New York, by the Scandinavian singing societies of New York and Brooklyn, and Gilmore's mili taryband. Tho societies assembled at Madison Square Garden and at 10 o'clock marched to the hotel 3,000 strong in torch light procession, headed by a representa tive committro of Scandinavians, who pre sented Nilsson with an address of wel come in her native tongue. The societies carried a large number of Scandinavian and American flags, massed in front of the hotel, upon which electric lights and calcium lights, drawn on wagons in tho procession, threw a brilliant illumination. An enormous crowd filled Fifth avenno and adjacent streets, while the windows of the neighboring hotels aud houses wero filled with people. The society sangSwed ish,Norwegian and Danish national songs, Gilmore's band playing popular airs. Nils- son appeared on the balcony wavinga Swed ishflag.and made a brief address of thanks, and was received with enthusiasm. She was accompanied by Parke Goodwin, Dr. Deremus, Anna Louise Cary, Miss Hope Glenn, Henry E. Abbey, her manager aud other friends. Tho scene in front of the hotel was at times extremely beautiful. the greatest enthusiasm being shown when Nilsson appeared. Nilsson's Ameiican tour has thus been very successful. Deatn bam Coal Gaa. James McCoy, who, it was thought, would survive from the inhaling of coal gas at tho armory of Company F, Sixth Regiment, in Norristown lingered until Monday morning, when he died. All medical science could suggest was done to save his life, but without avail. Ho was a member of Company F, and about twenty years of age, and much esteemed. The man who was with McCoy was dead when found yesterday morning. The deaths were caused by the men opening the door of the stovo before lying down, thus allowing the gas to escape into tho room.
