Senater Wallace's Kill.
senator "Wallace has introduced in
the Senate :i hill te provide a plan of
amicahle arbitrament in disputes be
tween, employers and employed in the
iron, steel and eeal trades, wherein se
many disastrous disagreements arise
The object, of course, is laudable :
whether its accomplishment is practic
able is mere doubtful. In asking that
the measure he proposes should be re
ferred te the proper committee for con
sideration, Senater Wallace said that
" the necessity for some lawful tribunal
te adjust, or te try te adjust the difiicul
ties new se prevalent in the trades must
be apparent te all. This bill proceeds
upon the theory that in business matters
men are equal ; that a frank discussion
by themselves of their grievance is the
read te their settlement, and that purely
voluntary methods are better than com
pulsion or litigation. The bill is purely
tentative. I have no pride of opinion
as te any of its details, and seek criti
cism and advice from all interested. In
a government of law, such as we be;ist,
it is a disgrace te all of us that the ulti
mate remedies for strikes and lockouts
are force and starvation. This bill is
but an honest effort te avert this dis
grace, and te areus. and agitate the
public sentiment of the state te the
necessity for action in this fieltl.'"
The measure provides that twenty
five workmen, being citizens and hav
ing worked two years at least at
the trade, and five employers who em
ploy each net less than ten workmen,
may petition the judge ei the district te
issue a license te a tribunal compesfl of
an equal number of employers and em
ployed, with an umpire te decide ques
tieus which c.i'.iuj: be set tied b thelri
bunal after discussion a; ti.iee me -ting.
Witnesses may be h-v.r I. but attorneys
are tabooed. Xe salaries are paid, but
the county furnishes a room for the
meeting, he.it ed and lighted. If eithtr
employee or e:n. ""- i refills te j i:i in
the petition f.ir the tribunal it may be
appointed en the petition of the one
party, who thu throws upon the ether
party the onus of refusing a discus
sien of the difficulties. Tii umpire's de
cision is auie line.! telweeu the partus
in all questions, except as te the rate, of
wages, which. for some reason net pointed
out. is excluded from his summary adjust- j
meat. But as the whole proceeding is
voluntary, and no penalty attaches te a
violation of the agreement, and no au
thority of he law is exercised te enforce
the decision of the tribunal, the function
of the umpire does net seem te be of
very great consequence.
It is certainly te be said in favor of
Senater Wallace's bill that it is inno
cent, and we are ready te believe, be
cause Senater Wallace introduced it,
that it maj possibly be productive of
geed in its working ; because Senater
Wallace is well qualified by intelligence
and experience te judge wisely upon the
question which he has here set him
self te adjust by legislation. IJut we
confess that en the first contemplation
of his measure we see litilr- in it. outside
our confidence in Senater Wallace'.s
judgment, te inspire us with confidence
in the effectiveness of his bill te correct
the admitted evil it seeks te grapple
with. W see nothing in the appoint
ment of a standing committee of con
ference by the court, even though it be
called a tribunal, te make the results of
its deliberations mere p jt"uL for the set
tlement of differences between employ
ers and employed than would be these of
a conference committee directly raised
by the employers and employed when
disputes arise.
The simple fact is, that the employ
ed want te get all the wages
they can ; the employers want te
pay as litMe as they can. If
Senater Wallace's bill will develop an
arbitration committee of men whose
judgment wLll be accepted by employers
and employed respectively as te the ieast
they can pay or the most they can get, it
will be successful in its object. But a com
mittee thus possessing the confidence of
employer and employed would be likely
te be discovered and set te work without
the aid of a judge. It is possible, how
ever, that the di;cussien of Senater
Wallace's bill may result in efficient
legislation; the undertaking is certainly
laudable.
Let There be Light.
There is just cause for complaint
among our citizens at the inferior qual
ity of the gas that is being furnished
them by the corporation that has a mon
opoly of its manufacture. Fer weeks
the light given, se far from being of the
standard of sixteen-candle power nemi-,
nated in the bend between the gas com
pany and its patrons, has been a misera
ble, sickly, flickering flame, utterly in
adequate te the purpose it is supposed
t0 fill and quite short of the premise
of the managers when they solicited
and obtained the patronage of the
public. Besides, the gas emits au un
pleasant odor, net unlike that which was
the source of complaint last winter, and
it is undeniably smoky. If the gas com
pany can manufacture a sixteen candle
power product at GO cents a thousand
feet, as it one time boasted it could,
our citizens who pay $2 for the vile stuff
they are obliged te put up with
have geed cause for complaining, and
for refusing te pay their bills. The
contract between the gas company and
the consumer is as binding en ene as en
the ether. The company exercises the
power of stepping off its gas when its
bills are unpaid ; but before it can gain
a right te demand its bill it must furnish
the quality of light it has premised. Xe.
torieualy it does net de this, and con
sequently it cannot collect its bills if
payment is refused, nor can it shut off
the gas if this is objected te ; its agent
who undertakes te de this may be forci
bly prevented. It has but one thing te
de. and that is te furnish the quality of
light it has contracted te provide ; then
only need it be paid.
But as it persistently refuses te de this,
is there no power in the city corporation
te secure redress te the people ? Must
this monopoly be permitted te occupy
our streets without earning the privilege
by giving us a geed light ? Must we
give te this gas company the free use of
our streets, and then submit te being
grossly cheated by it ? We trust that
councils will find out from their law ad
vi. er whether the people of the town are
net entitled tc demand and able te secure
the light thev nav for.

versary at the Knickerbocker cottage, Ne.
434 Sixth avenue, with a diuuer. On
January 13, ISS'2, the club was organized
with thirteen members te combat the
popular superstitions attaching te that
number. It selected the Knickerbocker
cettage as its headquaitcrs, because the
number 454 added together make thirteen,
and secured as a club room, room 1, of
the cottage. In the Bame spirit the anni
versary was observed. The menu was a
coffin-shaped card with a border of thir
teen nails, and contained thirteen courses,
but the number of the club has increased
during the year se that it new reaches
thirteen times the original thirteen in all
1C9 members. Among them are Presi
dent Arthur, Rosceo Cenkliug, S. S. Cox
and ether well-known men. At the re-
cent anniversary only a small portion
of this number were present, and these
were seated at thrce tables, thirteen te a

pleasant, convivial fashion, with toasts
aud short speeches ; thirteen minutes be

Tue elegance of the homes of wealthy
Americans, about which ee much has been
said, will probably nowhere have a finer
illustration than in the dining room
that Cornelius Vanderbilt is having
made for his new house. The de
scription of the ceiling, said te be the
most ambitious that has ever been at
tempted in this country, sounds like a page
from a fairy tale, and when we read of the
soft green of the verde antique, the rich
brown of the weed, the different whites
and yellow of ivory and marble, the lus lus
treus blues and jrrcens of rare shells, the
gleams of brenze which has been made te
take various surfaces of silver or geld or
mildly iridescent, we may picture this Mr.
Vanderbilt and his confreres leaning back
in their chairs after dinner, and, in that
enviable frame of mind iu which a man
can take pleasure in being mere than or
dinarily obtuse, looking up at this mira
culous ceiling impending ever them,
weighted with stone and metal, fretted
with carving, aud glittering with mother
of pearl, and wondering hew it is held
aloft, and what iu thunder it all means.

her ; and that the companion oue displays
Bacchus and his vintagers ; and that here
is Vcitumnus ; aud Cores, there, flesh in
marble and robes iu brass ; and that you
brazen head, effulgent, crowned with rays,
is Apelle's. Sir. Gould, being a man of
few words, may emit the adjoetives ; but
it would be excusable in him if he should
use them, for nowhere will he see a finer
piece of work, or ene, it is likely, mere te
his taste.

ing an Executive Committee.
The meeting of the Democratic state

highly satisfactory .hese who are re
sponsible for this s; em of organization.
The attendance was 1 . tr, the represen
tation mero general zud the proceedings
were livelier and mera interesting than
have ever been known. As many as sixty
six of the seventy nine members, rcpre
sciiting all but half a dozen counties,
answered the roll call at the four o'clock
meeting, te which time the committee had
adjourned after heiug called te order at
lioeu. Before the committee proceeded te
elect a chairman Mr. Ileusel briefly ex
plained his views of the future organiza
tion of the parly and said that unless the
committee accerded with thorn he would
prefer that some ether person thau him
self should he selected chairman. The
committee, however, indorsed them by
promptly re electing him by a unanimous
vote, and acccdiug te his suggestion te
elect no permanent secretary at present,
but allewiug hira te appoint a clerk. The

of Williamsport ; General R. Coulter, of
Greensburg ; W. J. Brennan, of
Pittsburgh, and Nicholas Isenburg,
of Huntingdon county, were added.
The composition of the committee gives

and representative of different sections of
the state, Harrity and Brennan, the
younger members of the seven, having
wen their spurs iu the late campaign by
their brilliant and successful management
respectively in Philadelphia and Alle

The less of life by the burning of the
circus in Berditschelf ou Saturday last was
net se great as at first reported, but it is
believed that ever one hundred and fifty
persons perished iu the llames. The fire
broke out toward the end of the porfor perfor porfer
mauco and was caused by the careless
handling of fireworks en the stage. The
curtain became ignited and the flames
quickly spread te the walls and reef. The
members of the orchestra were the first
victims. The audience, numbering eight
hundred persons, rushed te tie front deer,
but it opened inward, and as the crowd
picssed forward it was rendered useless.
A rush was then made te the two side
doers, both of which were nailed up, thus
compelling the paople te take te the win
dows, from which many sprang into the
street with their clothes a sheet of flame.
The fire brigade arrived within 'half an
hour, but it was impessible te extinguish
the flames, as the water in the tanks was
frozen. The fire lasted two hours. Eye
witnesses say that when the doers were
finally epeued a mass of burning peeple
was visible within. The horses aud prop
erties of the circus were all destroyed,
l'lceluc for TUclr Lives.

symptoms of hydrophobia. He snapped

power would be built, but many mere
hke it, and that the city of Reading will

Slippery sidewalks.
Editors Intelhgeiicer : Why is it that the
law governing the cleaning of sidewalks
is net enforced ?
The attention of the authorities has
time aud again been drawn te the dis
graceful state of the sidewalks after almost
every fall of snow. Whose fault is it '.'
If the authorities will net attend te
the matter let the citizens who will net
clean and keep them in suitable condition
be prosecuted. Let the pelice be instruct
ed te notify each occupant of a residence
that the nuisance must be abated within
a certain space of time, say six or twelve
hours, and the result will be speedily seen.

Cetu'th vs. Daniel F. Styer, of Provi Previ Provi
deneo township. The defendant was
charged with soiling liquor without
license, en Sunday and at a campmeeting.
According te the testimony of the com
menwealth it appeared that en the 2S'.h
et September, 1881, a campmecting was
held near New Providence. The heuse of
Daniel Bleechcr was situated about GOO
yards from the camp greuuds. Dur
ing the day a number of men
went te the house. One get liquor
from the defendant and paid him ;
he also saw etheis get it ; ether witnesses
testified that they procured whisky at this
heuse ; ene get it from Mrs. Blaecher, and
another did net knew the nanie of the
women who sold it te him ; several of the
wituexses drank liquor there, but could
net tell clearly hew they get it ; the clerk
of quarter sessions proved that the de
fendant had mi license ; IJ. F. Werth was
a special officer at the campmeeting, aud
there was considerable disturbance and
druukeniicf's at the heuse of Bleacher;
afterwards he complained te the constable,
who returned the parties te court ; it was
alleged that defendant told ene party that
he and Mrs. Bleecher were selling liquor iu
partnership.
The defeuse claimed that upon this day
cakes and ether refreshments were sold
at this house, but uo-liquer. Several men
came there once during tha day and went
up stairs. After they came down they
told Mrs. Bleecher that they had drank
some liquor, which they teiik from a bottle
belonging te Bleecher ; delcnd.uit gave
ene in. tu a drink and a cigar, but get
uethmg for it. V ituesses wcre called te
prove that several men, who were ac
quaiiit.ed with the house, weut up stairs
and took drinks from Bleccher's bottle
without his knowledge. Thore was no
disorder about the heuse en this day and

ant was charged with selhug liquor ou
Sunday, withent license, and at a camp
meeting. This was a 'companion case te
the ene tried yesterday against Dauiel
Styer, but was stronger. It was developed
during the hearincr of witnesses for the
commonwealth that the woman
is married aud lives with her hus
band. She could therefore net be con
victed of these charges. The court ordered
a verdict of net guilty with county for
costs.
In the cases of seduction and fernica
tien and bastardy, against Walter G. Deen
veiaicts of net guilty were taken, as the

net be quashed and the venire set aside ; a
similar application was made iu the ether
cases of persons charged with arson in
this city, except these of Harry Snyder
and Geerge Bear, and like rules were
granted, which will be heard iu the argu
