i". iuncastet fntellfgwwec TUFSDA.Y EVENING, JULY 17. 1883. Te PeHnsylTasIa OntloeK. Things are by no means as harmonious and hopeful in the Republican party as the newspapers and mere clamorous -politicians of that organization would have the public believe in their com ments upon the late state convention and its work. It is coming te be seen very plainly that no convention of the party was ever mere completely in hand and mere successfully controlled than this one. Mr. Quay was chiefly in terested in having Niles put en the ticket, and he succeeded; Mr. Magee was interested in having his man named for state treasurer, and lie wen his trick. Beth are happy and the result appears te be about the same whether they hunt singly or in pairs. The concession te "Wharten Barker in the adoption 01 ms resolution en the division of the surplus has served te involve the party in ridi cule at home and abroad, and the plat form threatens te be a millstone about the necks of the candidates. The signs that the harmony pro pre gramme has net harmonized multiply The voice of Levi Bird Duff crying in the wilderness is net se lonesome as it was. Mr. Wolfe, having been heard from, says that the nomination of Livesy is one that does net merit and will net re ceive his support ; Tem Marshall is of like mind. Candidate McIIese thinks the platform places the party en the de fensive in a year when it can least afford it. It is remembered that when Mr. Wolfe raised his flag of revolt and made opposition te the candidate of his party, his position found little favor with the Independent leaders and papers. Jehn htewart and the rest of them gave him the cold shoulder, but he polled ten thousand mere votes than they did last year with all their fus; and beating of the tem-toms. In politics, as elsewhere, the shallows murmur while the deeps run dumb. The experience of 1S72 shows that leaders de net always lead. The causes of political dissatisfaction lie deen. and when once a party has get into the ways of rebellion it is easier te keep in them than te get out. On the ether hand they make as wide an error who count upon Democratic dissatisfaction or disorganization in tin's state. They de net exist. The party is organized aud harmonious, r rank dis cussion of its policies aud honest criti cisni of its officials have only tended te strengthen it. It no leading candidates for its nominations arc announced or none are announcing themselves all th." Jjetter for that. The coining con vent ion will be able te find (it men ; and the party will be capable of electing them. The members of Hie Legislature are evidently getting ready te adjourn. They might as well. It is evident that the Republicans propose te make no apper tienment. The have annnfaironenew that is te their advantage, and they pre pose te held te it, in spite of the const i tutien and in defiance of decency. Their obstinacy and partisanship prevented an apportionment at the regular session when the Democratic Heuse and the Democratic senators at all time-; steed ready and frequently offered te make or lake an honest, just and true one. This failing, because of the Republican disposition te serve Cameren rather than the commonwealth, the extra session became necessary and the governor very properly called it. He did his whole duty in that. Again tins Democrats of both Houses have shown a disposition te be fair and last night the Democratic majority of the Heuse went se far as could be expected of them when they agreed te take the bill drafted and offered by Jehn Stewart, which theii senators had agreed te take. If this be rejected there is nothing left but te appeal te the popular judgment at the ballet box. We entertain no such idea as that any of the Democratic repiesen tatives will feel it their duty te remain at Harrisburg until they get an appor tionment, aud finally accede te any scheme of Republican bulldozing rather than have the purpose of the extra ses sion defeated. There is no logic in this position. Thus far the responsibility of the extra session and its failure rests en tirely with the Republicans. There let it remain. If the Democrats should steep te accept their gerrymander and be satisfied te take what the Republicans offered them at the regular session, it. can be forcibly said they could have had that before. The Democrats must stand up for and go down with an honest, just. and true apportionment, because this is net only rjght, but it will put the oppe sitien in chancery. The Democracy of the city and county should bear in mind that next Saturday afternoon and evening they are te assem ble in their respective districts and elect delegates te the county convention meeting en "Wednesday, July 25, te nominate a county ticket, chose dele gates te the state convention and mem bersef the state committee. In many counties this work is done by the county committee and often at slimly at tended meetings. In this county the Democracy have net deemed it tee much trouble te have a county convention and a fair expres sien of the popular will in the selection of these te whom is assigned the duty of formulating the policy and cheesing the candidates for the important cam paign about te open. Democratic voters should exercise their duty and privilege by going te the primaries en Saturday and selecting delegates who will fairly represent their views in the county con vention. It seems that there are locked up aud idle in the federal treasury about one hundred and twelve million Bland silver dollars and the number is constantly in creasing. Iu this condition of affairs they are simply pieces of silver, contain ing 412i grains of silver, and while they de net circulate they are no mere no less than this. There can be no reason able objection te exchanging them for ! pieces of silver worth 420 grains. The New.Yerk Bun's political slogan, Tarn the rascals out," has created ' panic ameBg the Republican office holders. " Le ! is it I, they all de cry." The cohesive power of public plunder was never better illustrated than by the fear which has seized upon them at the sound of this war cry. They are closing ranks te make a solid front. The open ing of the civil service examinations finds every yawning vacancy filled before the new rules could be applied te the incemers. These who are in eflice pre pose te held the fort against any attempt te inquire into their moral or mental fit ness. They want the rake and the rack applied only te people who are after their places. The public sense or . the fitness of things calls for a fresh deal. Turn the rascals out. A i. Siiknck was " a geed enough chair man " until after the Republican printing eflicps had their bills paid. What's the use of the New Yerk Timet canvassing presidential preferences and probabilities ? Harry White declares him self for Arthur. That settles it. Only the fact that the convention was held in very het weather restrains the New Yerk Times from sitting de lunalice inquirende en the Republican party of Pennsylvania. Seme man named "Ray" is said te be the dark herse who is te take the senator ial stakes in New Hampshire. Anether Mitchell affair, no doubt ! Fer this are we belters. Te the Wilkesbarre Recerd, it seems the light thing for the colored people te render t.hom3elves capable of under taking diversified labor, and iu that way destroy the barriers which new are opposed te their progress. WiiAiiTex Baukeh says the manage ment of the Garfield campaign at Chicago, bofe'ro and during the convention of June 18, was wholly in his hands. This probably explains why Garfield never get above two votes until the freshet of accidents started. Gov. IIeyt denies that he has left the Republican party or is getting ready te go into the Democratic. He is for the ticket, but disapproves of the Barker plank of the platform and says of it : "I de net think theie ought te be a redundant treasury. The raising by the general government of mero money thau is necessary te meet the expenses of the government would be uu constitutional as a matter of law and inex pedicut as a matter of fact. An extrava gant position ou a public question like this cannot lesult in ultimate advantage." mil. Jehn u. hager is one of the prac- tisil, common sduse and farsighted class of business men who recognize that the way te check a contagious disease, which imperils the health, and injures the busi ness of the community, is net te suppress the truth about it and thus give currency te many tengucd rumor, but by prompt ami efficient curative aud remedial meas urea. He accordingly cooperates heartily with a movement of the municipal aud county authorities te this end ; aud if some of his mercantile contemporaries will im prove the dull times by folio win;; his example they will make relief from the prevailing business depression, for which, of all influences, the newspapers are the least responsible. Mu. Wuaiiten Barkrii gives te the public a letter which he wrote te Gen. Gai field just after his nomination for pres ident. This passage is from it : Fer mouths, as you kuew, I have be lieved that you would leceive the nomiua nemiua ti m of the Republican party for the presi di-ucy, and te that end I have labored. I am thankful te have been in a position te destroy the political machine, as known under Cameren, and te have built up in my own state a party of true Republicans, led by politicians, te be sure, but under the direction aud guidance of manufact ure! s, merchants and bankers a party of the people, the destractien of the power of Cameren led te the destruction of that of Ceukling and Legan, and defeated Gen. Grant. And yet there have been greater destrue tiunists than Barker. One of them once slew ten thousand Philistines with the jaw bone of an ass. In answer le the Philadelphia Recerd's inquiry for Thad. Stevens' speech ou the common school system a correspondent informs it that he did deliver a speech in the Pennsylvania Heuse in 1835, in oppo sition te the iepeal of our first free school law, which had becu enacted the year before. The speech is in print, all buttLe lheteiical peroration, and was published in the Pennsylvania Scheel Journal a few years age, "The real point of the speech that carried the Heuse with him was net its cloquence ai.d vehement delivery, but an arithmetical calculation in the body of the speech, proving by a dollar and cent argument that the free schools were cheaper, financially, thau the pauper system they supplanted. This was an argument that the plain, unlettered men of the Heuse could understand, and one that they could stand ou before their con -stitueuts ; and gained votes that Stevens' classic allusions could never have reached, because they were all 'Greek' and un intelligible te most men upon whose ears they fell." The New Yerk Sun, in an elaborate and detailed statement of the incidents and events of the movement in 1880 that led te the nomination and election of the late President Garfield, made out that Gar iield went te that convention ostensibly for Sherman, but really a candidate him self. Wharfea Barker, who elaims te have been the discoverer of Garfield as a presidential candidate, affects te deny this, and declares that the oft repeated charges that the late President Garfield was net true te the Hen. Jehn Sherman are " absolutely false." Nevertheless Mr. Barker confirms these charges most strik ingly in a chain of memoranda, furnished te the Philadelphia newspapers, of the events leading te Gai field's nomination. These show conclusively that Barker nursed and spread the Garfield boom all that he could, cemmuuicating all his movements most effusively te Garfield, who never discouraged them in the slightest and who went te the Chicago convention as Sherman's friend but previously having advised Barker that the fight between Blaine, Grant and Sherman was se bitter that the nomination of either would handicap the party. 3FKATUBKS OF THB 8TATB The Harrisbwrg Independent leadlr calk for cheaper matches. v The Philadelphia ifttM has homing pig eons in reserve for the strike of the tele graph operatives. "Notwithstanding the opposition of the free trade cranks te Hr. Randall, his pros pects for speaker grew brighter," as the Pittsburgh Pest sees it. The Yerk Age, looking te the Deme cratic state convention, asks for another Pattison a man, net for the politicians, but a man for the people. The Soranten Republican would rather enjoy a strike of the telegraphers, just te see what a derangement of business and journalism would ensue. The Easten Express, apropos of Butler, solemnly pronounces the judgment that no man in public life was ever yet injured in the estimation of the people by indis criminate newspaper abuse. The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph dis cerns that Mr. Randall is really the most formidable Democratic candidate for the presidency before the public. That is te say, the most likely te get the nomination and the most likely te be elected if nomi nated. The virtuous Alteena Tribune avows that some of the decent people of the fashionable resorts will be obliged te tar and feather Mr.v Frederick Gebhard and his paramour if they mean te keep up the conduct with which they have been dis gracing themselves at Leng Branch and Atlantic City. Te the Pittsburgh Leader the spectacle of Chris. Mageo at the helm in the late state convention, as usual, directing what should be done with no one te say him nay, and carrying everything te suit him self is net calculated te inspire confidence in the ability of the Independent wing te grapple successfully with the ring, backed as it is, by all the machinery and most of the money. The Pittsburgh Dispatch declares that " if the Democrats would ouee rise super ior te their petty inside squabbles, remand the horde of petty place seekers te the rear, and nominate two such men as W. H. Snowden or R. E. Wright, or R. L. James, or somebody from the old Dutch Tenth legion ; or such men as B. J. Mo Me Grann, of Lancaster, or Capt. Walker, of Erie, they might at least stand in the way of the lightning." PERSONAL. Cooper has been selected as chairman of the Republican state committee. Dr. Mary Walker has been removed from her clerkship at Washington, but she declares she will bave revenge by liv ing te yet be elected te Congress. Geerge Bancroft, Jared Sparks, J. G. Palfrey and Richard Hildretb, historical writers of this country, were all educated at the same school (Exeter academy), and three of them bearded in the same house Mr. Jno. R. Read, of Philadelphia, alter a visit te Greystone, is satisfied that Samuel J. Tildeu does net seek the nomi nation from the Democratic convention, but if it is given te him will make the same brave and determined fight which was successful iu the Centennial year. Colonel Washington Dunn, a rail road contractor, was found dead in a Pull man sleeper, en route te Portland. He leaves a wife and two children at Leck Haven, Pa. He was very wealthy, and had a contract te crade the Northern Pacific railroad a distance of two hundred miles. Rev. Charles H. Leinbach, D. D., ene of a large family of ministers and well known clergymen, has died at his home in Stouchsburg, Berks county, aged sixty eight years, of a pulmonary affection. He was prominent iu the management of the Bethany orphans home at Womelsdorf, and in the Reformed church. Rev. Dr. W. H. Qornblewer, profes sor of theology and homiletics in the Western theological seminary of the Presbyterian church, died last evening in Allegheny City, Pa. He was stricken with paralysis while preachiug about two months age, and en Sunday last was takeu with a chill which resulted fatally. His widow is a daughter of Justice Bradley, of the supreme court of the United States. Ruskin has been obliged te change his opinion in regard te American art. He recently paid threo thousand dollars for a volume of Italian stories, hand illustrated in pen and ink by Miss Alexander, daugh ter of a former Bosten artist, new residing iu Florence.

The chief dandy at Cape May changes his suits five or six times a day. Early in the morning he puts en a corduroy coat aud knee breeches, or knickerbockers, such as bicycle riders wear, and in which he takes a walk. On his return, he dresses for breakfast in a suit notable for wide checks and loud yellow. At bathing time he saunters down te the beach in a pajama ; that is te say, a loose sack and wide trousers made of light colored stuff, girlishly trimmed, and nor mally worn in one's bedroom His advent en the sands in such a rig astounds these who have net become accustomed te him, and alarms them a little, tee, because they get the idea at first that he is a lunatic. It might be expected that he would be still mere remarkable when attired for the water, but here comes a disap pointment. He appears in a plain and conventional bathing suit of loose flannel, because he knows that his attenuated form could net stand a com. parisen with these robust fellows who bathe in scant tights. In the afternoon he exhibits himself, for lounging or driv ing, in a costume of white ; and in the evening he squeezes himself into a seem ingly impossible black frock coat and dark trousers. " The former is conceiv able," says the writer, " if he wears cor sets, as they say he does ; but hew he gets his pantaloons en is a problem. His legs are small enough for the purpose. But de his feet screw off and en, or has he dis covered a way of donning them shirt fashion ever his dear little head ?" The Testimony el Experience. Philadelphia Press. President Seelye, and the country has few abler educators, gives t he remarkable testimony that in eleveu jears trial of a scientific course in Ambers, college run ning parallel te the regular curriculum, the men who take Latin and Greek make better scientific students and reach higher attainments than these who take a short cut into science direct. The records of the univer sity of Michigan give like results in regard te the success of its graduates in after life, the classical men having done best, while the professors of the University of Berlin have lecently united, the incum bents of the scientific chairs leading, in asking for the revival of Greek as a re quirement for matriculation, because the men who have studied it make most pre gress in aftefstudj.

THE LEGISLATIJEE. THE FBOCKKDIXCH tAST 2MQHT. Utta BM te A4i detbefclrTfalc-Am Oflfcrte Take Btewsrt'i BUI. Times Ilepert In the Legislature last evening Butter Butter mere, of Fayette, offered a resolution charging the responsibility en the Repub licans for prolonging the session .by refus ing a just and lawful apportionment. This resolution bad a preamble attached te it reciting that the Democrats new held two thirds of the law making power of the commonwealth, and have a right te de mand a fair and equitab'e apportionment nnder the constitution, which has been denied them by the Republicans. Speaker Faunce ruled that the preamble and reso lution were net in order. In response te the wishes of the Democrats Hassen, phairman of the committee en appropria apprepria appropria tiens,moved te recommit the appropriation bill, which preposition was carried with scarcely any opposition. Discussion was then had en Buttermere's resolution, Chad wick suggesting the Republicaus also be held accountable for the rebellion. The Republicans allowed it te pass with out demanding the yeas and nays. Brown, Republican, of Erie, offered a resolution te the effect that the Legislature had spent weeks of fruitless effort in attempt ing te pass apportionment bills, at a great expense te the people, and that, if the Senate concurred, the Legislature will ad journ en Tuesday,).) uly 24. Mr. Brown said it was evident that neither side would give way. It was an Axpense net justified by what had been dene and it was time te adjourn. " Why net offer a resolution te adjourn te-morrow ?" put in Mr. Crawford. He was for taking no pay and when the ap propriation bill was reported he would offer a resolution that no pay be given te the members for this extra session. Mr. Furth said that when the resolution te adjourn was offered in geed faith he wanted it te be full and truthful, and lay the blame for the passage of no apportion ment bills at the proper deer. In reply te a question of Mr. Brown as te whether he thought au apportionment bill could be passed, Mr. Furth replied yes, that the Democrats had no " ultimatum." MacReyneIds offered au amendment te Brown's resolution that the Republican conference committees were responsible for the failure te pass apportionment bills. Mr. Sponsler made some remarks, the gist of which was that the Heuse should leek at and act upon this measure as non partisans. He was willing te grant that the Democrats were honest in their de mands en these apportionment bills and he claimed the same for his side. Noth ing would be gained by staying here and he was therefore for adjeurument en the 24th. Mr. MacReyneIds then witlulrew his amendment. Net a (uo8tien of ment,y. Mr. Buttermero said this was net a question of dollars and cents, as claimed by the Republicaus, but the constitution required that an apportionment should be made. The Republicans were attempting te disfranchise a large body of people He was opposed te au adjournment unless the Republicans were willing te agree te an apportionment. He was willing te stay all summer. Mr. McNamara said the Re publicans were opposed te the organic law, the constitution, no believed, with Mr. Sponsler, that the Republicans were just as honest as the Democrats, aud had it net been for the orders of the caucus they would have agreed te a fair apportionment long since He appealed te the Republi cans te threw away their prejudices, te threw off the bondage which was upon their necks. He referred te the conduct of the recent Republican convention at the opera house, which was new controlling the Republicans in the Legislature. Information having been received that the Senate had passed a concurrent reso lution te adjourn ou the same day fixed by Brown's resolution, he withdrew it. The Senate resolution ou the subject was thou read, when Crawford moved its reference te the committee of ways and meaus, which the Republicans opposed. The motion was adopted by a party vete. Hassen offered a resolution requesting the Senate te instructs it congressional conference apportionment committce te agree en the Stewart bill giving the Re publicans seventeen and the Demezrats eleveu congressional districts The Re publicans showed no disposition te make any fight against the proportion and it passed without much opposition. Adjourmuent In Uie Senate. The first thing done iu the Senate was the offering by Senater Grady of a resolu tion te adjourn finally ou Saturday noeu next. Gorden thought this was hurrying matters tee rapidly and moved its pest penement for the present. Coepor claimed that the intervening time would be ample te de all business befere the Legislature. The patieDCO of the state had been tiied enough and further trespass en it would be inexcusable. Patteu, Democrat, sug gested that Monday a week would be a mero judicious time te adjourn. Adams, Republican, protested against being compelled te retura next week Laird. Democrat, indicated a willingness te adjourn ou Wednesday next, stating that he had given up all hepe of accomp lishing anything and that he did net care about pay. Hughes, Republican, objected te se early an adjournment. He was net indifferent te pay. He was entitled te and wanted it. Patten, Democrat, WU3 un willing te leave until he had received all the money due him. Laird's motion te adjourn ou Wednes day next was adopted by a vete of 15 te 12 but en motion of Lee the vete was recon sidered by a vete of 21 te 4. Aguew and Norten, Republicans, and Hess and Laird, Democrats, voted in the negative and Biddis, Gorden, Hale, Ilara Honninger, Nelsen Patten, Ress, and Wagner, Dem ocrats, with the Republic ius in the majority. Lee mode a preposition te adjourn en the 24 instant, which was adopted with but five dissenting votes votes votes Gorden, Sutten, Hess, Ress and Wagner, Democrats. Wagner offered a resolution similar te one presented iu the Heuse relative te the Stewart congressional apportionment bill. Cooper stated that there was no cengrcs sienal conference committee te instuct. The Senate adjourned without taking action en the resolution. FAN NIK am,j.vs ruEr. A Farmer's Daughter In Ohie who Wears the Largest Shoes en Earth. Fannie Mills has the biggest feet in the world, se far as known, and they are still growing. Fanuie Mills is 22 years old, and resides en the dairy farm of her father, Geerge Mills, two miles from Sandusky. A Cincinnati Enquirer correspondent called at the Mills home at eveniuf. and the head of the household was standing in the yard. His giccting was kindly and he entered into conversation en the subject of his daughter's big feet. He laughingly remarked that people generally didn't believe the sesmingly incredible stories concerning Fannie's immense pedal extremities, but te prove that they were really se large he invited the reporter into the house te sae for himself. The young woman was called by her father and wabbled, rather thau walked, into the front room. She wero a long pewn, which was scarcely sufficient te hide the defermity. She sat down in a chair and exposed her feet te view. Ii is almost impossible te exaggerate the mar mar mar volleus sight. She removed her shoes and then great white pillow cases, which were worn as stockings. The feet leek, like two immense hams. The tees are irregular, and the little tees are represented by two little knobs. There i are no tee nail?, although the places where j they, should be are clearly defined. The I correspondent undertook the delicate task of measuring the teet. lne right feet is one feet six inches in length, and the left ene inch shorter. Over the instep of the right feet is tweaty-one inches, and ever tue ether ene inch less. The big tee of the left feet is eleven inches in circumference. The right feet is longer than the left by an inch, bnt the latter is heavier and thicker. The feet are respectively seven and eight inches wide. Frem this actual measurement of Fanny Mills's feet any ene can readily imagine what mar mar veleously large shoes she must wear. Heretofore they hava been manufactured in Albny, N. Y., but a Sandusky shoe firm has the lasts and a pair of shoes en exhibition, which have attracted great attention, nor feet have increased in size since the display in the shoe stere window was made. The left shoe is 1GV inches long, the right 18 inches in length ; the left is 7J inches wide and the ether S inches. The right instep of the shoe mcasures 10 inches and the left 1TA inches. Iannie Mills weighs 109 pound:; aud although delicate looking, says sbe has geed health. It takes two calf hides te make her a pair of shoes and all her vitality gees te sus tain her massive limbs and feet. The girl had unsually large feet when she was born, and they have continued te grew alarmingly fast ever since. The girls of Chicago, whose big feet are proverbial, must new surrender the palm te peer little Fannie Mills, who bears her hard fate cheerfully. Crime and Calamity. Frank Mcllwayne was shot dead by Edward Culkin at Yicksburg yesterday, in consequence of a family feud. Philip O.

A HMUar in tfce OeaacU CaamtMr I sea Men, Beard et Health mad ethers JL Call en the Com missioners. At the request of a number of business men a meeting was held in common coun cil chamber Monday evening te discuss what measures will best tend te stamp out the smallpox new prevailing iu Lancaster, aud restore the trade te the city, which has been greatly injured by exaggerated reports concerning it. All the members of tha beard of health and of the sanitary committee were present, tegether with the mayor of the city and a number of merchants and pro fessional men. H. R. Fulton, esq., was called te the chair and stated the ebject of the meet ing. Dr. Belenius said that the sanitary com mittee of councils had drafted an ordi nance te be presented te the next meeting of that body, conferring upon the beard of health additional powers. The principal previsions of the ordinance are, compul sory vaccination, full power te quarantine persens where contagious diseases exist, and authority by the beard of health te take charge of and control the disposal of dangerous cases. Geerge Nauman, esq., stated that Mr. Jehn Hager had called en him at the re quest of many business men te go with him te the county commissioners and urge upon them the importance of speedily erecting a hospital for smallpox patients. They met the commissioners and were informed by them that they had resolved te build a hospital at a cost net exceeding $5.000 ; and that they would like the beard of health and sanitary committee te furnish them plans of a building that would meet the views of the beard of health, the sanitary committee and the public generally, and te mceet the commis sioners at their office en Wednesday be tween 10 aud 12 o'clock. Dr. Reed asked hew long it would take te erect a suitable building. Mr. Hager said it could be done in 30 days. Mr. Nauman reminded the meeting that the county commissioners iu their pre posed course, were acting largely en their own responsibility, aud iu deferenoe te their scuse of duty aud the public demand, rather than in strict accordance with the technicalities of the law. He thought there should bj a free interchange of opinions at this meeting and that the views of persens present should be laid before the commissioners. Henry Wolf, of the sanitary committee, offered the following preamble and rese lutien which were adopted : "Whereas, The cases of smallpox have become numerous iu the city of Lancaster and the disease seems te be spreading, and it is urgent that a building should be erected in which persens suffering can be treated aud the malady checked in its in crease ; ,lReselced, That the beard of health, the sanitary committee of councils and the mayor of the city meet the county com missioners ou Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock te request them te cause a suitable building te be immediately put up for the purpose of treating patients suffering from smallpox, separating them from the rest of the community and preventing the spread of the disorder." Mr. Hager said that Mr. Umkleberger had offered te prepare gratuitously plans and specifications of the new hospital. A plau had been prepared by Mr. Evans, but the sauitary committce and beard of health did net like it it was two stories high, tee wide and net long enough. The pro posed Diuklcbergcr building would be eue story high, 30 feel in width and 00 feet iu length. Dr. Beleuius suggested that the build ing should be of lraine and in this view ether members concurred. Mr. Nauman thought the commission ers should be furnished with a copy of the proposed ordinance referred te by Dr. Beleuius, te let them knew what the city authorities are doing te check the disease. Mr. Fulton stated that Dr. Fitzpatrick, health commissioner, had informed him that he had made application at the hos pital for accommodation for four peer smallpox patients, and that he had been told by the hospital officials that they had ue room for them. He wanted te knew what was te dene with them. Dr. Reed suggested that fiey ha quar antined iu their own homes until suitable quarters can be secured for them. He thought that a temporary building might be erected en the hospital grounds at short notice, and that iu the meantime the sufferers should be provided for and re ceive medical attention at their homes under strict quarantine. Dr. Bolenius thought that ten or fifteen mere smallpox patients might be accommo dated in the buildings at the county hospi tal. There are new only about fifteen cases there and room might ba made for thirty. He moved for the appointment of a committee te confer with the hospital officials. The motion was agreed te and the chair appointed, Dr. Bolenius, Henry Wolf, Dr. Reed aud H. A. Diller said committee. Dr. Beleuius moved that virus for the vaccination of peer patients be pureha3cd and placed at the disposal of physicians for that purpose and that the purchases oe made from the different druggists of the city. Agreed te. Mr. Fulton said the beard of health was regarded by many as a failure, aud te some extent it was se beeause it had no power te de all that was ueassary te be dene. If the beard had failed te de anything it had authority te de, he would like te knew what it is. He was sure the beard had stretched its authority, and had dene seme things it had no legal right te de it had appointed a health cemmis sioner and ordered him te nail up red flags en infected houses, thus rendering the beard and the commissioner liable te pros ecution. He hoped theso who complained of the inaction of the beard would use their influence te confer upon the beard additional power, thus enabling them te de mero geed than can be done nnder their present limited authority. Adjourned. Ne .fcir Cases. Although several sensational rumors of new cases were current ou the street to day, a careful investigation by the beard of health shows that the rumors are un founded. Net a single new case can be found te day. In accordance with a resolution passed at the meeting in the council chamber, last night, Drs. Reed and Bolenius and Messrs. Diller and Wolf called upon Dr. Mc Creary, superintendent of the hespital.aud arrangements were made for the accom modation of 18 mere smallpox patients in that institution. Last night the red flag placed at Ne. 243 East Chestnut street, was tern down It wa3 replaced this morning. Jehn Buckiu, one of the hrst smallpox patient sent te the hospital, having entirely recovered, was released from quarantine, furnished with au entire outfit of clothing aud sent home.

PSKOV. 8UEI.LT bbatjen. ion la Ltttle Turk. Prof. Wai. H. Shalley, superintendent of the public schools of Yerk, and well knew ha Lancaster, yesterday made an infotautieM before Justice Ramsey against Edward R. Herr, for surety of the peace and assault and battery with intent te kil. It seems that Prof. Shelley was married te Jlr Here's sister, who died several years age, leaving an infant daughter. The professor desired te continue his residence at the heuse at which his wife died, but at the earnest solictta selictta solictta tien of Mrs. Herr and her daughters, he removed with his little girl te the Herr mansion en East Market street. About this time Mr. Herr was married and moved into the adjoining house vacated by Prof. Shelley. Fer a number of years the former handled the finances of the Herr estate, which is a large one, aud the family net being satisfied with his accounts, substi tuted Prof. Shelley te some extent instead, and this has led te ill feeling, which has ensued in many disputes ever property rights, accounts and money matters. Mrs. Herr is desirous of going te Den ver this month te visit her son. Mr. Herr volunteered te secure her a ticket at a reduced price, but deferred the matter se long that his mother finally told him yes terday, that she could wait no longer, and she would procure her own ticket. This angered the son, who resolved that Prof. Shelley was the cause of his mother's determination. Yesterday morning Mr. Herr went iute the breakfast room of his mother's resi dence armed with a heavy cane, and pro fanely demanded the whereabouts of Prof. Shelley. He thereupon proceeded te the study of Mr.Shelley and found him writing at his secretary. Mr. Herr immediately dealt with the cane two terrible blows upon the back of Prof. Shelley's head and neck. The latter was in the corner of the room and could net flee from his antagon ist, but the daughters threw themselves into the breach, and diverted the brother's attention sufficiently te allow the professor te get out of the corner. He ran out of the house, with Mr. nerr iu het pursuit, who overtook him at the fountain where he delivered another savage blew with his cane. The daughters again came te the rescue, and the professor finally escaped, and immediately proceeded te the ellicu of Justice Ramsey where he instituted criminal procsediugs for surety of the p3ace and assault and battery with intent te kill. The defendaut waived a hearing and was held in two thousand dollar. bail te answer at August court of quarter ses sions. OH Ftps Line Completed. Baltimore Sun.

The line te Philadelphia has been com pleted, and in pumping oil at the rate of 10,000 gallons per day. When the line te this city is in thorough working order tha same amount, it isstated, will be puuiped here.
