Prisenkeeper Burkhelder writes te U3 r te say that he privately informed oetn the judge and the counseller Carr that he was ill with what he apprehended was smallpox, and he protested that he should net he removed until it was defin itely known that it was net a case of smallpox. The attorney told him that his removal was desired because of his illness, and he get the same answer from the judge, who, however, told him net te bring the prisoner down in the morn ing if the smallpox had developed itself. As it had net developed at that time, Carr was brought before the judge and obtained his liberty and took death with him into his family. The prisenkeeper says that he notified the beard of health en May leth of the condition of affairs at the prison, and that Carr was discharged en tne .u The ether discharged prisoner, who has died since his release, he declares was well when he came out. By this statement the prisenkeeper puts upon the judge and the beard of health the responsibility for the injec tion brought by Carr into the cemmun ity. They can share it between them. Either had the power te block the con tagien. When the judge had insisted en discharging the man the beard of health should have stepped in te see that he was properly isolated. The sisters who desired the return te them of their suffering brother have been fearfully stricken down for their affection. It is easy te understand hew the attorney, who aided these relatives le get their desire, and the judge who would net baulk them, were prompted te yield te their solicitation by their kind ness pf heart ; and yet hew little of a real kindness did it turn out te be ! and hew surely ought they all te have seen that it was a wrong they were doing ! Prisenkeeper Burkhelder, while he stands acquitted of aiding the discharge of Carr, yet is properly accusable for tin Inner p.nnr.Bahnant which he cave te this disease In the prison. It was there long before the public or the beard of health knew of it. During this time visitors became unconsciously subject te conta gion and prisoners weresentin for trifling offences, who would net have been com mitted te the embrace of a deadly pest. Peer Carr, who was sent up for a light offence, would net or should net have been committed if the condition of the prison had been known. Of ceuisp, it is easy te blame after the disasters happen, which show that a fault has been cemmitte 1. If Prisou Priseu keeper Burkhelder had been fortunate enough te keep his smallpox te himself, he might have continued his mercantile and manufacturing enterprises at tlw jail without disturbance, and have had reason te congratulate himself en his reticence. But as luck or the Lord was against him and his smallpox has spread into the town, Prisenkeepar Burkhelder must expect te suffer. The game went against him. Mere Vetoes. The governor's lively fusillade of ve tees keeps up and te day we have four mere vetoes, all geed ones. An act com pelling ieeple te assign mortgages te these who pay them the money ler them was disapproved as an interference wit ! the contract and as opening a deer t fraud. Of course, such a measure wa ; evil. When a man is paid his deb', lie can be compelled te satisfy it en the record, but that is all that should lie demanded from him. There is no pre priety in requiring him te keep it alivi alivi fer the benefit of some ether fellow who has especial reasons of his own, which might as easily be sinister :u geed for wanting te buy it , and held it agaiur.' the debtor. A mere abselutelj improper law could net be imagined. Then the governor vetoes an act like one which Governer Ileyt vetoed befeu him, intended te gratify some private purpose of a malicious kind in Luzerne and Lackawanna The oilier two vetees were of acts granting sums of money te men for claims accruing during t lie war twenty years age. Th? auditor gen eral was directed te audit them, while at the same time the Legislatuivaudited them itself and decided that certain sums, with twenty years interest, should he paid. The governor naturally thought that was a queer way of doing business, and besides he did net appreciate the pre priety of paying twenyt years interest en a claim never before heard of. Evidently the gentlemen who have stale claims against the state will have a hard time getting their money under this adminis tratien. Twe opposing Richmond editors who are reported te be hunting through their own and adjoining states for a chance te fight a duel must have been hard put te for a pretext te come into such cellis ion. They began by calling each ether's - parties collectively corrupt, degraded and vicious liars aud finally applied the epithets Individually ; then they dis appeared from the city aui arcsuppesed te be arranging the preliminaries for sheeting at each ether. One of these men, Elam, is Mahone's editor and Governer uameren's secretary of state ; he ha.j engaged in duels before aud carries an ugly wound en his face as the lesult of his encounter with Governer Smith'd son. The ether is the owner and editor of the State, the leading anti-Mahone paper, and he once engaged in a duel with Biddleberger, which came te neth ing because the parties came upon the field without caps for' their pistols. Derision of that fiasco by his present opponent is said te have goaded him en te the present anticipated duel. He labors under the disadvantage of being a much bigger man physically than his opponent and hence a mere con -spicueus target en the field. Perhaps they will net fight, but even if they de and te death it will decide nothing, and if they de net they will be ridiculous That their quarrel should have been carried as far as it has gene shows them both te be very unfit persons for political leadership, and fbat Virginia politics will net be steadied until sebererTieads and stronger hands take the helm down there. Judge TnuBMAXdidnet get the can didate for governor of Ohie whom lie wanted, and the candidate who was chosen is the man who is believed te have been unfaithful te the interests of Judge Thurman as a presidential candi date, with which he was charged, at the Cincinnati convention. But notwith standing this leeks like a disaster te Judge Thurman, we have se much confi dence in the old gentleman's bottom that wa would rather bet en him in the out come of the race than we would en Judge Headley. if it be true that the lat ter has really set himself te smash Thur man. It will be a hare and a tortoise affair ever again. It is said that in Europe it has been found te be a very successful treatment of smallpox te rub the chest of the pa tient, at a certain stage of the disease, with croton oil te the end that its ma lignity may be drawn te the surface and away from the vital organs. We would suggest that it might be ef fective in preventing another such in vasion of the town with smallpox if the beard of health, the prisenkeeper and a doctor or two, with a judge, perhaps, thrown in, were rubbed with croton oil, en the head, te the end that stupidity might be extracted ; as well a3 in the way of warning te careless officials. JuDan Headley may be considered entered for the presidential race. Cuicaoe wants the next Democratic national convention. It wjll be likely te get it if it agrees net te ask for the candi date. The Ohie Domecratio state convention brought together a great many strong raen who seemed te be animated with buoyant confidence in the success this fall of the ticket that was named yesterday. Rollins is losing in the contest for United States senator in New Humpshire and his election ig new despaired of. It will be no less te the country for New Hampshire te experiment with a change. The Ceal Trades tribunal in Pittsburgh after another fruitless session last night, appointed a cemmittee te wait upon the umpire and request his piesence te day te settle i he wages question. Ou this ques tien neither side is wilmi!' te make con cessions. The Republican senators, at least enough of them te make a majority, and including Lse, are said te have agreed last ni'-ht that their ultimate concession in the cougresjional apportionment" would be nothing sheit of 17 certain Republican district; out of 28. PERSONAL Rev. Dk. D. B. Knickerbocker yes terday accepted the bishopric of Indiana. Charley Backus, the dead miustrel, was a native of Rochester, N. Y and was 50 years old. Fer 20 years he has had a leading place in New Yerk. Annitiiisuep Weeds, of Baltimore, will deliver the oration at Archbishop Weed's funeral. Bishop O'Hara will act as the celebrant of the pentificial high mass of requiem. Prince Waldemar, of Denmark, the youngest of King Christian's children, will shortly he engaged te Princess Vic Vic eoria, second daughter of the Crown Prince Frederick William, of Prussia. Count Bezenta, Mme. MedjeskaV; litis hand, has decided te become an Amcricau citizen. His naturalization papers have been taken out at San Francisce, where he will settle down as a civil engineer. a. Peculiar French Law. A proposed French law provides that every head of a family who has mere than Tour children shall be entitled te a reduc tien of 15 per cent, in his annual taxes, aud te an additional reduction of 5 per cent, for each child in ux ux eass of five. In case the head of the family pays no taxes, or if his taxes de net exceed 100 francs a year, then he shall be entitled te a premium, of 200 francs for his fifth child and te auether premium, in each case larger by 100 francs than the preceding, for each additional child h may have. The project may seem empirical net te say comical, but thefat is, that the population of Fiance is at a standstill, if uet actually diminishing. The pernicious example of limiting children is set by the upper classes of society. Among the wealthy and middle classes large families are looked upon as misfortunes net se much en account of the iramediate ex psnse attending upon the birth, support, and education of children as en account of the necessity for making their previsions for the future that the social customs of this nation enforce. Ex. A l.lbei en a Tombiteae. St. Leuis) Glebe-Democrat. Philander Finley and Mart Beggs. of Marshall, brought suit against J. S. Pet ter and J. A. Tippiug for libel iu two cases.

A STKOXG STANDABI BEAKEK. H.e Democratic Stat convention et onto Ward Announces Hlmseir for beaater. In the state convention at Columbus, Ohie, yesterday, trouble was reached en the first ballet when Bntler county was called. This cennty had a divided delega tion, and the resnlt was a call of the counties te de away with the unit rule, which was carried amid great confusion, showing the strength of the leading candi dates te be about even. The completed ballet resulted as fellows : Headley, 290 ; Ward, 261 ;Geddes, 77 and Denver, 4. The second ballet was eraerea ana pre ceeded until Butler county was reached, when trenble again ensued. After the call had been concluded some changes began for Headley, and the greatest ex citement prevailed, delegates clambering ever each ether and storming the platform before the rest of the ballet could be announced. A motion te nominate Headley by ac clamation was carried. He had in the neighborhood of 350 votes, 319 being nec essary te a choice. Judge Headley seen appeared and ac cepted the nomination in a brief address, daring which he reviewed his connection with the party and said that although he had wandered at one time with the Re publicans te fight the battles of the col cel col ered race, the Democracy was bread enough te receive him again. He esteemed it a great compliment te be nominated ever mere worthy candidates, and believed that the convention would place men en a platform whose leading principles were personal liberty, self-control in temperance matters and a license system. The convention then proceeded te the nomination of lieutenant governor, and Jehn G. Warwick, of Stark county, was selected by acclamation befere the ballet was ceucluded. Da Witt Coelman, of Portage county, the ether candidate, was withdrawn. The work of nomination was frequently interrupted and delayed. In the mean time General Ward was brought in and made a speech, in which he severely re buked the party for failing te recognize his thirty years service. Net te be daunted, he announced himself publicly as a candi date for United States senator. A speech by Judge Geddes was in a somewhat different vein, though both pledged fealty te the party. Before the ether nominations were made the committee en resolutions sub mitted the following platform, which was adopted : " The democracy of Ohie, in convention assembled, hereby affirm the principles of the party as expressed in the primaries and in the state and national platforms in regard te personal liberty, the true func tien of geed government, and as embraced in the political creed expounded by the great founder of the Democratic party, Themas Jeffersen. The application of these principles te our present condition demands the purification of the public service, the punishment of the rob bers of the public treasury, the equalization of all public burdens, the arrest of the profligacy and extravagance that corrupts the administration of public affairs, aud a total chauge iu the policy that has se long been pursued by the Re publican party et faveriug individual and class interests at the expanse of the labor ing and wealth producing people of the country ; and we reannounce our previeus declaration for stable money, the gradual extinction of the public debt, and the payment of pensions te disabled soldiers, their wives and orphans. " Second. We favor a tariff for revenue limited te the necessities of a government economically administered and se adjusted in its application as te prevent unequal burdens, encourage productive interests af. home and afford just compensation te labor, but net te create or fester monopo lies. "Third. The act of the Republican Congress reducing the tariff en wool, while at the sam.e time increasing it ou woolen goods, already highly protected, was iniquitous legislation, discriminating in favor of monopoly and against the agricultural interests of the country, and ought net te have been carried, aud we heartily approve the action of the Demo cratic members of the Ohie delegation in Congress iu voting against that in ci ease. "Fourth. The Democratic party is. as it always has been, opposed te sumptuary legislation and unequal taxation iu any form, and is in favor of the largest liberty of private conduct consistent with the public welfare aud the rights of ethers, and of regulating the liquor traffic and providing against evils resulting therefrem by a judicious and properly graded license system. 'Fifth. The abuses of the present con tract system in our state penitentiary, by which the products of the labor of convicts arc brought into competition with the pre ducts of honest labor, te the great detri ment of the latter, are injurious and un wise and ought te be corrected, and the premises of the Republican party te abol ish this system are shown te ba false and hypocritical by its failure te de se while it has had the power. "Sixth. The protection of the govern ment is due te all American citizens,native and foreign born, abroad as well as at home. "Seventh. We reaffirm the resolutions of the state conventions of Ohie in 18S0, 1881 and 1882, and of the Democratic national conventions of 1872, 187C and 1880, demanding thorough reform and purification of the civil service, and charge that the Republican paity has violated evey pledge it has heretofeio given for the reform thereof, and has failed during its long administration of the government te correct even the most crying abases, and we demand therefore a change in the exe cutive administration of the government itself as the reform first of all necessarv. as made mere manifest by the recent Star Reute trials, thereby ousting corrupt rings confederated te protect crime and prevent the punishment of criminals, and by se doing te make it possible te again punish fraud in the public service." The work of making the ticket was con tinued amid the greatest confusion, with the following result : Fer supreme judge (short term) Martin Follett, Washington, county ; (long term), Selwin Oweu, Wil liams county ; supreme court clerk, J. J. Cruikshank, Miami county ; attorney gen eral, James Lawrence, Cuyahoga county ; auditor of state, Emil Keisraelter, Frank lin county; treasurer of state, Petor israay, Sandusky county. A rOMS'rf KOMANCE. Story et a Terrible Wrong and a Bloody Vengeance. Alex. Semileff, a Pele, aged thirty-five years, died at Reed's Station, Pa., en Tuesday. He was well educated, speakin several languages. Before he died he made quite a remarkable statement, iu which he said that in 1853 he lived in Itemer, a Polish town. His father's eiai no niuugeu uy une IiamaUOU, SOU of a prefect of a village, who induced her te leave her husband. Semileffs father compelled him te swear te avenge the wrong by killing off the accursed family, but seen after the prefect was found dead by the read side, with a pistol by his side. numu icu.mi tuu ueuui tuai no naa com mitted suicide. "Boen my father," aaid Semileff, " placed me in an academy at Warsaw, and joining the Russian army in the Crimea, followed out his plan of revenge The betrayer of his sister and .another brother were officers, in the army and were by some chance assigBed te theregi men tin which he served. One night they were found dead in their tents, a knife sticking in their hearts. Feariag detec tion he deserted the army, and for ten years I saw nothing of him. One night he appeared at the university in disguise and requested me te fellow him. Next morn ing we left for Italy, and in a short time arrived at Milan Frem there we we at te Florence, where our father said our work of vengeance was te be completed. A brother of Romanoff, the prefect, was an attache of the Russian le gation at the court of Yioter Emanuel, and we determined te slay him. and for days we followed him, when one night we met him and bis companion alens the river bank. We were masked, and my father sprang at the threat of Romaneffs companion, and throwing him, held him while I sprang upon Romanoff and stabbed him twice te the heart and threw his body into the river, and we left his friend lying en the ground insensible. My father was shortly afterwards captured, tried, sen tenced and hanged. I then.came te Amer ica, joined a band of brigands under the command of Spizzia, who was recently captured in New Orleans, and for some time the wild life satisfied me. Soen I re turned te Poland and found that the Rom anoff had been scattered. A number had been exiled te Siberia for treason, while three had gene te America. "1 immediately determined te fellow them, and after searching from 187G te 1881 1 found them at this place, but be fore my vengeance could overtake thorn two of the three had died from disease and but one, Albert Lebeski, was left. I then secured work here and plotted his destruction. One night he disappeared. Nothing was thought of it, as mysterious disappearances are common among our class. I killed him and would have gene back te Russia te finish my work had it net been for this sickness " The listeners were appalled by this story. The man then proceeded te tell iu a husky voice the place where he buried the man, and, after receiving the sacra ment from the priest, expired, thus escap ing the power of the law. Next morning a party proceeded te the spot indicated and exhumed a skeleton, with a large, rusty dirk knife protruding. There was then no doubt as te the truth of Semileff s story. A pest mortem examination will be held en the body of Lebeski shortly. UU1MK AND UAL AMITY. Kocent Destruction et Lite and Property.

The cul tivation of the mind has engaged the attention of men in all ages. Frem history we learn hew it has succeeded or failed in different stages of time. Liberty has always been mere propitious te thought than despotism. The knowledge of the empires of Reme and Greece has made their civilization a lastinr monument. The ad vancement of culture is no where se mark ed as in this fair land of ours, where with our advanced civilizations we are trying te win the nobler victories of peace. Univer sal education is civing men mere exalted lessens of life. Te day almost every citi zen is an artist and a member of the great republic of letters. Each day witnesses the steam cars rushine across the conti nent. These are the blessings of knowledge and culture. The incentives te culture are many and varied, and having received the highest intelligence we will find that civilization will grew better. Oration "The True Equilibrium of the State." E. Everett Perterfleld, Falliag Water, W. Va. The problems of civiliza tien depend upon the advances of society. The progress of individuals is the pro gress of society, as it bocemo enlarged and advanced. Society is of divine ap pointment, and should be considered se. The struggles of society for self-insertion are still rife, and will continue te be. In the sphere of humanity there is a constant war between individuals and so ciety as a body. But when these opposi tions are united they constitute a fine and satisfactory equilibrium. Rome was cited as an instance of a government which did net acknowledge the rights and privileges of society colleetivoly ; there was a con tinual warfare between individuals, and Reme fell. The establishment of the Christian church did mere than any ether element for the settlement of the differ ences of society ; it served te bridge ever the great chasm between government and individuals. The strongest government is that in whieh the inherent rights of the people are respeeted. Music Fruehlingslust, Geipel. Oration "Communism and Individual Development" Gee. C. Stahl, McEwens ville, Pa. The various systems of a society which mark the different peoples of the world were outlined by the orator. Small bedies of individuals at different times have arisen te assert their pewers but the body politic whieh they hinder does net recognize them. Communities must exist geed or bad, but efforts should be made te remove these possessing ob jectionable features. Vice has ever ex isted and will always exist ; yet there are always powers in society which are able te remove the bad. The family as it ex erts its inflence en the' body politic, will ever effect the safety of the public and make life successful. Oratieu "The Mission of the Moderu Nevel." Eugene F. Stetz, Broadhcads Breadhcads ville, Pa. The disbelief in fiction is new dying away. The historian and the poet bear their share of influence, but the mis sion of the modern novel is broader. Pepu lar education, freedom of thought are the ideas which kindle the hearts of this gen oration. In history we find net the sym pathy the heart craves for ; but net se in the novel. It is this which brings te us the experiences of humanity, and portrays the life of human character as it daily appears. The orator then showed hew the novelists succeed, and spoke of the impression that they have made upon seciety. Under the touch of the modern novelist the commeu individual becomes an important feature for consideration. The distinction was then made of the great est novelists' portrayal of the characters which they present. The novelists are an important factor in the world, and new make themselves an honored and gifted class. German Oratieu " Da Kleined des Genius "Gustave A. Schwedes, Cum berland, Md. The orator handled his subject with much ability, aud demon strated by his correct use of the German language and his perfect utterance that he well merited the prze for German scholar ship wen by him. Music Hechzeitstaeuze, Templer. Frankliu Oration" The Immutability of Natural Law" Emery Taggart, Smith burg, Md. The orator in well oheson Ian. guaze showed the rigid immutability of natural law and spoke of the great neces sity for it. Physical science and Christi anity, from which comes the law, should have between them no potent conflict. We dare net presume that we knew all the laws of the univeise. The speaker argued from this that we cannot honestly contradict the working of miracles, aud, tborefere, the laws of religion .cannot ceme into opposition with the national laws. Nature includes two classes of ob jects : one, the material objects ; the ether all that mysterious host of invisible powers, and these, though they have come into direct conflict with man's ideas, and although science even yet cannot fathom them, umte te domenstrato the immuta bility of natieual laws. Marshal Oration " The Influence of German Thought " Lewis Robb, How Hew ard, Pa. The orator said that nowhero than en the banks of the Rhine has the power of thought had mero power. Away back in the dark ages it made its influence felt ; in a nearer period te as we see it renewed and strengthened in every part by the world-renowned Schiller and Goethe. When all Europe was shaken te its foun dation by the utterances of Voltaire, and ethors of his school, it was needful that such master minds as Schiller and Geethe should ceme forth. In science has Germany wen grand achievements ; in the investi gation of ancient art, in philosophy, in short, in the whole range of science she stands foremost. Beginning in the 17th century, she has become a wonderful authority in philosophy and as truth shall ever live, se shall the grandeur of Ger many's snblime triumphs of thought last till time shall be no mero. Master Oration" A Limited Sover eignty and Universal Suffrage ; their Re -latien." Frank S. Elliet, esq.. Philadel phia. One hundred years age Alentesquien said a republic could net exist in a large country. Te day a somewhat deeper significance may be attached te this utterance. The speaker said that a la mentable state of affairs has resulted from the differences of party iu this country. I here is tee much government in our land. Unlimited sufferage is conceded te be an established fact, but thore must be a regenerating principles among us te guide us aright. Let it be home in mine? that we are net the peeple of 1800 or 1801. Our civilization and our material wealth have made wonderful strides since these peri ods, and te conform with them we must be careful. Government new for 50,000, 000 of people is a far greater achievement than it was for the 3,000,000 of 1800, and a state of affairs 'that will be satisfactory te our institutions and laws is greatly necessary. There is no question te-day which agitates the public mind as the relation between a limited monarchy and sovereignty. The orator here drew the difference and deduced the conclusion that tUr. :& ..-i. 1.-..- .. ru z, y"-u,K",'j' " ue i iu ej Ta "Z mitilaf fl PI"- ttW r0ry shows that it is only these govern- ments that are the aest stable whieh rely upon the people and the laws for their safety and welfare.

Music. Iolanthe Sullivan. Valedictory "The Charm of Antiqui ty." J. N. Bauman, Zwingle, Iowa. Nothing perhaps in the last half century is se interesting as have been the discov eries made in ancient cities. A tew science has suddenly sprung up. But what interest can accrue lrem this? The noblest of men have becu engaged in the pursuit of discevciing the remains of the earlier ages ; they find that "the proper study of mankind is man." Te-day we can walk through the streets of cities, whose silence has net been interrupted for ages. Behind their time worn relics we seem te see the people going through their every departments of life. It is ty ages and'uet by years that we caa read the lessens of the past. By this we understand the laws given out in these times which new appear dark te us. The orator spoke of the manifold advantages securodfrem the unearthing of these ancient remains, and drew rich lessens from them. He showed all through his oration the charm for anti quity and supplemented the presentation by suggestions drawn therefrem. We can congratulate ourselves that we have risen above.eur forefathers, yet we must admire the greatness of them and learn from them yet. The speaksr then spoke a heartv farewell te all.

Uniiger from .Storing till l:i llie City Limits. About half-pist six o'clock this morning fire alarms were struck from boxes 34 and 32 in the northeastern part of the city and a ilcnse cloud of smoke seen arose from near the corner of 3Iarieu alley aud Sher man street, where, ou the rear of Jehn Hensler's let, is located the stere house of the Glebe and Gaslight company, which ha3 the contract for lighting the city with gaseliua and in a little brick building built for the purpose keeps- en hand at a time about 30 barrels of this inflammable stuff. It seems that last night there were in the place 30 barrels of gasoline, fear. of which woie emptied fur filling the lamps in the city. About 5 o'clock this morning oue of the heys in the lighter's service went te the place and get some oil. Twenty minutes later Lamplighter Wm. Lewars visited it, and while he was there there was an explosion which threw him nearly across the street and singed his eyebrows and it was followed quickly bv an outburst of the flames aud the sound ing of the fire alarm. The whole build ing and contents were seen wrapped in flames and as water thrown en such a pile only spreads the fire, the attention of the firemen was given te surrounding prep2rty. venaersmitlrs stable was kept se wet that it escaped, though but a short distauc' away, and nothing further was burned except the adjoining fences ; the public school property was slightly damaged. At one time the burning oil flowed down Sherman .street and threatened te spread the fiie, but it was dammed up and driven back by the fireman Theie was no insurance ou the destroyed prep erty which cousisted only of the 32 barrels of oil and the building, which is totally ruined though ne: an expansive structure, and the less falls en the gaslight company. Just hew the fire originated is no; certainly ascertained, but the chief engin eer feels sure that a lighted match must have been caivlessly disposed of en the premises and ignited the accumulated gas. The fire calls attention anew te the dan gers of storing in any considerable quan tity of oil wilhiu the city limits and sug gests tha propriety of an ordinance put ting it, like powder, eutside the town.
