Difficulty of Apportionment.
The Legislature in attempting te make
a senatorial apportionment finds a great
deal of difficulty in doing se in con
fermity te the constitution, which re
quires fifty districts te be formed, and
directs the ratio te be ascertained by di
Tiding the whole population of the state
by fifty; while at the same time it de
clares that " no city or county shall be
entitledte separate representation exceed
ing one-sixth the whole number of sena
tors." Philadelphia has a population
greater than eight ratios, yet can only
have eight senators, at least as a "separ
ate representation." There may be
something in this phrase, "separate re
presentation," which would enable the
Legislature te join a part of the city pep -,ulatien
with that of another county ,
but then it would have te be an adjoin
ing county, since the constitution re
quires " districts of compact and con
, tigueus territory." Seme part of Phila
delphia's wasted population is consumed
.by the constitutional prevision that a
separate district may be made with four
fifths of a ratio, and that additional sen
aters may be assigned te counties that
have a surplus of three-fifths of a ratio ;
but stili there is trouble in working out
fifty districts en a ratio obtained by di
-Tiding the population of the state by
fifty ; which difficulty the lower Heuse
proposes te get ever by cutting off Phil
adelphia and dividing the population of
the rest of the state by forty-two te find
the ratio. It is certainly true that this
is net in accordance with the letter of
the constitution ; but if that instrument
cannot be literally followed, the Legis
lature will have te use its intelligence
in deciding upon the interpretation that
sails closest te the intent of the instru
ment. It is certainly very remarkable that in
se maturely considered a paper as the
constitution there should be any diffi
culty such as this in its construction. It
shows clearly enough that there was
lacking in the membership of the con
vention an element of pains-taking in
telligence that should have secured te
the examination of the language of the
constitution the laborious scrutiny need
led te perfect it. It is a matter of com
mon notoriety that a majority of the
members of the convention were very
useless members of it ; and we new real
ise that amene the intelligent and bril
liant men in it there was still lacking
the one acute and conscientious mind
,. that would have barred the adoption of
r the paper until it perfectly expressed the
meaning it was intended te have.

The Eeelish cotton trade in the last
twelve years 1872 te 1882 has Increased
28 per cent, in yarns and 33 per cent, in
piece goods, as te quantity ; but the in
crease in value in piece goods has been
only 3 per cent., while yarns have fallen off
ten percent. A part of this is due tn a
decrease of one-third in the value of the
raw material, cotton ; but the real expla"
nation seems te be first, in the wide reduc
tion of price in the past decade whose
industrial effects are net yet fully under
stood, aud second in the large increase in
manufacturers here, in Germany and in
France. Step by step, England in this
trade as in ethers is losing the supremacy
given by her enormous start early in the
century.
The impressive ceremonies held ever
the remains of J. Heward Payne in New

the sentiment, which finds response in
every heart, that pays tribute te a genieus
of brilliant light, even though the tender
solicitude of friendship came from few
hearts in his life time and the strange
vicissitudes through which he struggled
ended in bitter disappointment and weari
ness that we may new but inadequately
appreciate. Mere acceptable and perhaps
mere just would have been this homage te
the poet and dramatist while he lived, but
if a generous minded generation can atone
for the forgetfulness of the past, the
answer te his plaintive strains fraught
with the burden of home joy and beauty
may be found in a genuine popular ap
preciation of the action of these who car
ried out the plan te bring him te his native
land.

In Cataract of Malt
Frederick Bachman had stewed between
20,000 and 30,000 'bushels of malt in an
elevator that extended above all the ether
buildings of his brewery in Cliften, Staten

portation of Cuban sugar by the way of

all positions in the.direct line of railways
running north and 'south te profit by trade

Crep Reports.
Reports from forty-three points in the
wheat belt of Illinois indicate that the
injury from the Hessian fly and the cold
weather will affect nearly 25 per cent, of
the whole crop. The St. Leuis Pest Sis
patch publishes reports of the condition of
the winter wheat in mere than 200 ceun
ties of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tenn
essee, Kansas, Missouri and Texas. In
Missouri and Kansas the condi
tion is geed. The acreage is fully
equal te last year, and the damage
no greater than usual at this time of year,
Tennessee and Illinois give fair reports,
but Kentucky and Indiana, especially the
latter, show considerable damage. Frem
Texas reports are meagre, but these re
ceived are geed. It is learned from ether
sources that the condition is generally
geed, with a fair prospect for a lull crop.
The reports also show that a very large
amount of last year's corn crop still re
mains in the above named states. The
delegates present at the state Millers' as
sociation, in session at Tepaka, Kansas,
say the wheat prospect in that state is
verv favorable, and with geed weather a
yield of thirty te forty millions of bushels
may be expected.
A Dancing Contest.
A dancing match between Jeseph Mor Mer Mor

crowd te the Grand Central theatre last

lin. During the contest the excitement
ran high, the theatre being densely packed.
" Bebby" Newcomb, who acted as judge,
opened the proceedings by requesting the
audience te maintain order, and then
played in the centre of the stage a marble
slab, en which the "jigging" was te be
done. The men were confined te the
Lancaster style of dancing, and the win
ner was te be the one who scored the most
points en steps, time and carriage.
Wheatley, who tripped it lightly en the
slab first, danced twenty steps in seven
teen minutes. Morten, who was gorgeous
ly attired, also danced twenty steps, but
the music was much slower for him. The
judge declared Morten the winner. While
the crowd cheered three baskets of flowers
were passed up te Wheatley. The award
of the prize did net give general satisfac
tion. A Cree Indian Kate!.

Kaeaway Merw Dash Along With ft Hearae
and Splinter the Vehicle into Fragments.
A peculiarly painful occurrence happen
ed en the Seuth side at Pittsburgh, Fri
day afternoon. A hearse was standing in
front of an undertaker's establishment,
in which the body of a man named Jehn
P. Shmit had been placed for the purpose
of being sent te the dead man's home. The
horses attached te the hearse frightened at
something and started down the street at
a terrific pace, the vehicle rattling indec
orously ever the rough pavements, with its
contents bumping about in full view of
persons upon the sidewalks, through the
glass sides. The horses continued their
career down the thoroughfare until
Nineteenth street was reached. They at
tempted te turn down that thoroughfare,
but instead of clearing the corner they
ran into the edge of the building strik
ing the hearse violently against the
bricks and breaking it in pieces. The coffin
was thrown out upon the street and the
lid being broken exposed the corpse te the
gaze of the crowd which had been quickly
collected by the accident. The horror of
the affair was manifest te all, and the re
mains were rearranged at once in the
coffin and taken te a neighboring store,
from which as seen as possible, they were
removed te their destination. The horses
broke away from the fragments of the
hearse and continued their flight te the
river, where they were finally halted.

Seia Account of the Day and Its Oteervaaee
Ceremonies t Vanema Ckarehea
KcIaUve te the Baaaea.
To-merrqw will be Easter Sunday, the
festival of the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
or the Christian passever. It is the festi
val upon which all ether movable feasts
depend. After much discussion in the
council of Nice (A. D. 325) a rule was
adopted which makes Easter day te be
always the first Sunday after the full
moon, which happens upon or next after
the 21st of March, and if a full moon
happen en a Sunday, Easter day is the
first Sunday after. By this arrangement
Easter may come as early as March
22 or as late as April 25. This year
the first full moon after the 21st of March
was yesterday, March 23d, se that Easter
this year occurs within one day as early as
it is possible for it te occur. Seme one
who has made an examination of the mat
ter, states that no man living has seen
Easter fall en the 25th of March. Its last
recurrence en that day was in 1742. and
for mere than two hundred years it has
occurred but four times, namely : in 1GGS,
1G74, 1731 and 1742.
Frem the earliest history of the church
the day has been celebrated with great
formality and devotion. The altars which
have beeu stripped of their ornaments
during Lent, are rehabilitated aud gor
geously decorated, and the music, whieh
has been sad and sembre, is succeeded by
the liveliest and most triumphant strains.
In Catholic and Episcopal churebes the
services are mere elaborate than in any
ethers, though the Lutheran, Reformed,
Moravian and some ether denominations
also celebrate the day with oensidorablo
formality.
In all ages the festival has been marked
by many singular ceremonies, customs
aud popular sports. Most of these have
fallen into disuse in this country, except
the religious observances in the churches,
the feasting upon eggs at home, and the
presentation te friends of prettily colored
or elaborately engraved eggs. Childreu
are provided with all the colored eggs
they want, and amuse themselves by
testing the strength of the shells by strik
ing the smaller ends of the eggs together,
it being a rule among the youngsters that
the egg that is broken falls a
prize te the one that breaks it.
Besides the natural eggs that play such a
prominent part in Easter feasting, the
confectioners reap a rich harvest in the
manufacture and sale of- candy eggs of
various kinds and colors. Of late years,
the rabbit appears as an innovation 1n the
Easter customs, and te " bunny" is at
tributed the laying of the many beautiful
eggs which fill the nests that geed little
boys and girls are ap". te find en Easter
morning. Seme of these little rabbits are
real works of art and leek very natural
indeed
In Lancaster county and in many ether
sections of the country Easter Monday is
celebrated as a holiday, though it fs net
one of our " legal " holidays. The pub
lic schools are closed, the churches are
open, and when the weather is fine great
crowds of country people, in holiday
attire, come te town te have a geed time.
Faster Day at St. James.
The chancel of St. James te-morrow will
be decked with a profusion of flowers.
The first celebration will be at 8 a. m. At
10:30 the second service will open with a
grand processional hymn by the large sur
pliced choir of men aud boys, under direc
tion of Prof. Matz. The remaining music
will be as fellows :

At the 7:15 p. m. service the music will
also be of high character.
Christ Chnrch.
Very interesting services were held at
Christ Ev. Lutheran church, West King
street, en Friday evening. Eleven per
sons were received into the membership
of the church.
The Hely Communion will be celebrated
en Sunday morning, and Easter services
held with the Sunday school in the even

A Brief Sketch et Kev. James T. satchell
Rev. J. T Satchell, appointed by the M.
E. conference, lately held in this city, te
the Duke street church, Lancaster, will
take charge of the pastorate at once and
will preach in that pulpit te morrow. Mr.
S., by reason of his father's work there as
a Wcsleyau missionary, was born in the
West Indies. His after educatieu was at
the Kingswood school, near Londen, and
in the Richmond theologian seminary. He
is about 35 years of age. He came te the
United States upon the death of his father
and by persuasion of his personal friends,
the late Rev. Thes. Guard, of Baltimore,
and Rev. Dr. Jas. Merrow, of Philadel
phia, in 1873, and was that year admitted
into the Philadelphia annual conference
of the Methodist Episcopal chureh, where
in be has served first as a supply for mis
sion stations in the coal fields, and after
ward at Frankford avenue, where he was
the neighbor and intimate friend of Rev.
J. Hepburn Hargis, and lastly at Fletcher
church, in Hestenville, Philadelphia. Frem
this church he comes te Lancaster, with
the confidence in bis success of his minis
terial brethren, and the warmest wel
come of the Duke street congregation,
te whom he has already preached the
annual missionary sermen at the confer
ence session. Rev. Mr. Satchell had been
selected at a previous session for the mis
sionary anniversary address, which was
his first marked success en the platform in
Pottsville.
He is net accustomed te read bis ser
mens and speaks with all the earnestness
of moral conviction, and with the precis
ion of speech that evidences clear intel
lectuality and classic training. Among
his most ardent admirers and chosen
friends in his late charge, are Jehn Hun
ter, esq., the Referm receiver of taxes
in Philadelphia, and Mr. Jehn Field of
the Committee of One Hundred. His
services were sought after also for Norris
town and the new chnrch in Tiega.
Hely Saturday.
Hely Saturday marks the close of the
sorrowful scenes of Passion week, and a
faint glimmering of the glories of the
resurrection are already visible en the
spiritural horizon. The services in the
Catholic churches have special reference
te the period during which the body of
Christ remained in the sepulchre. On
this day the altars are. again clothed with
their ornaments,' and the New Fire, the
Paschal Candle and the holy water font
are blessed with appropriate ceremonies.
At St. Mary's, St. Antheny's and St.
Jeseph's Catholic churches the service
commemorative of the occasion were at 9
a. m., and were largely attended.
Increasing Freight Business.

Breck," in which he stated that he was isl
this city ea last Saturday Bight awash?
when an alarm of fire was struck. He
says that he struek the alarm from box 19
Centre Square aud then timed the fireaem ;
the first apparatus ou the ground was
truck A, which was mere than five min
utes from the time of the striking of the
alarm, and the next company did net ar
rive for thirteen minutes. This story was
written by a boy named W. A. Ranch, who
was here as a hanger en of the "Amis.
Girl " company. He was very fresh, and
during the day made himself exceedingly
numerous by presenting everybody whom
he met with a gaily printed card coataiB ceataiB
his name aud that of the.2fcrafcZ and ether
volunteer flremau's papers. His story ht
false and it was only written as a feeble)
attempt te injure the department in the
minds of vplunteer firemen. On that:
night the truck was in Centre Square very
shortly after the alarm, and it was quickly
followed by the apparatus no. 3. laey
were net ueeded however, as the men of
engine Ne. 1 extinguished the fire with a
line of hose in a few moments. Ranch
was standing gaping areuud in the square
at the time aud did net knew where the
fire was until it was out.
Mere About Uelllg.
Dick Heilig, whose arrest yesterday
afternoon was mentioned in yesterday's
paper, and upon whose person nearly $50
in geld was found, was taken te jail last
evening. A closer inspection of his
person discovered that he had $124 mere
concealed en his person, a portion of
which was wrapped in the waistband of
his pants and a portion in his stockings.
He gave Officer Eichbeltz $40 in geld yes
terday te take te his wife in Mount Jey.
The officer found the peer woman in very
destitute circumstances, living in a single
room, with six small children te attend te.
On his return the officer wanted Heilig te
send her the balance of his money, but
this he refused te de, saying he wanted
some for the lawyers ! Besides the articles
mentioned as having been found en him
yesterday, he had a bunch of abeuv twenty
keys of various sixes, bridle, bit anil rein,
a bag of herse hair and some ether small
matters. Heilig bears a very bad reputa
tion iu Meun Jey and Marietta, where' he
is regarded as a confirmed thief.
SUKItIrFS SALK.
Millinery Goods, c, Disposed Of.
A let of goods which were seized at the
Adam's express office as the property of
Gottsehalk & Lederman, were sold at the
sheriff's office this morning at 10 o'clock.
They consisted of several boxes of straw
hats, a let of men's neckties, some hat
racks and three plaster busts, which axe
used te advertise corsets. The sale was
largely attended, especially by officers in
the court house, newspaper men and
ethers. The prices brought by the goods
were very low, and hats sold as low as a
cent a piece. The ether articles were dirt
cheap, and lets of fun was created by the
lively bidding. Among the heavy purchas
ers were : Register Umble, Deputy Sher
iffs Hippey and Strine, Cel. Price, Chief
of Police Deiehler, Corener Shi Ser, Clerks
Stener and Fasnacht, J. M. Johnsten and
Auctioneer Hess. AH of these- parties
have a full stock of straw hats which, in
all probability, brought sueh low prices en
account of the sudden change in the
weather.
Runaway Accidents.
This morning between 10 and 11 o'clock
a two-horse team belonging te a man
named Stehman, living near Safe Harber
took fright while tied in front of McGov McGev

from collsieu, the street being filled with
wagenB leaded with tobacco, When op
posite Altick & Sen's carriage works, the
runaways struck a buggy in which Mr.
Seamer was driving, turning it completely
around, end for end, but net upsetting or
even breaking it.
There was another runaway from in
front of Rohrer's tobacco warehouse this
morning, but we did net learn the name

of the dauiaxe done.
WEST KNI) MAUKIST.
A Successful Vrcject Quietly Worked Up.
Fer some time there has been a move
ment en feet te organize a market com
