Fellow the Constitntlen.
If they find anything of doubtful con
atitutienality in the judiciary apportion appertion apportien
meut bill, we should think that at least
the Democratic members of the Legisla
ture would withheld their support from
it, net only because in truth their duty
is te observe and obey the constitution,
but because their inclination will natur
ally be te harmonize their action with
the opinion which Governer Pattison has
se often and se explicitly declared
that all legislation should be strictly
conformed te the constitution.
The governor has se frequently and
se sharply rapped the Legislature ever
tha knuckles for its failure te fellow the
constitution, that one would think that
it would heed the lessen, and net again
send t him, with the expectation of his
approval, bills of doubtful constitution
ality in any of their sections. TSie people
have s warmly approved the governor's
cemae in gauging all legislation
by the constitution, and vetoing
what is found discordant with
it, that the Legislature should have
no difficulty in understanding that
the people at least understand the con
stitutien te be in fact, what it is in fancy,
the fundamental law of the state, change
able by themselves only and net altera
ble by the Assembly.
Especially at this time when the Re
publican journals are se eager te discover
and publish differences of all imagina
bio kinds between the governor
and his party, it will be prudent
in its representatives at llarrisburg
net te furnish an opportunity te the
enemies of our parly te gleefully claim
that they are net in unison with the gev
erner in his devotion te the constitution.
Whenever, it ever, he takes a wrong
position, and one in which public senli
merit will net sustain him, then the
Democrats of the Legislature may and
should take issue with him ; but cer
tainly net when he occupies se strong
and unmistakable a position as he has as
sumed in undei taking te ueieiui ti.e
constitution and te strike down every
attemnt of nelitical friend or fee te
avoid its mandates and restrictions.
We understand Governer Pattison te
have se distinctly and firmly taken his
position in favor I strictly construing
and ebfiing the constitution that the
only thing left for the Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature, in seeking te
maintain their harmony with him and
their duty te the party, is te consider
whether or no any of the previsions in
this judiciary apportionment bill, which
fiey aie new considering, are uncon
stitutional, or even of doubtful censtitu
tieuality. They must net leave it open
te our political opponents te call out
"see thesa Pharisees and hypocrites,
who prate of the constitution until it
treads upon their own tees, and then ci
away with it ! " Ner should the Deme
crats in the Legislature incline te tempt
the governor of their party te appieve an
unconstitutional apportieu'iieut, which
some Democratic partisans may desire
te be approved for their own and thr-ir
friends' prefit: but they should rather
seek te .strengthen his purpose te
pursue a ceiuse which has gained him
public commendation.
New, is there net geed reason todeuht
the constitutionality of some of the pre
visions of the judiciary apportionment
bill ? (Jan it indeed Im denied, with any
show of grace or decency of face, that
the section which makes Beaver county
a separate district is unconstitutional,
when Beaver had by the census of 1SSO
less than 40,000 population and when the
constitution sajs that no separate dis
trict shall have less than 40,000 ? It de
clares, further, that a new apportion
ment shall be made after each decennial
census, and means, of course, that it
shall be based en that census ; for, in
deed, there is nothing else te base it en
And then the constitution provides for
combining counties under 40 000
population in " convenient," dis
tiicts. Can the membeis of the
Legislature and the governor con
scientieusly say, witii a fair expecta
tien of having their judtrment approved
by the people, that in putting together
Pulton and Adams counties that are
M?par ted by the whole breadth of the
large county of Fianklin, by ranges of
mountains, and without diicct railway
Vommunicatien, they are making a
'convenient district ?" Or can they say
that it is ' necessary" te " attach" a
small county of less than 40.000 pepnla
lien te another district, and thus risk
its le3s of the right te vote for its judge
and endanger, tee, the turning loose of
judges in "attached" counties when
the district te which they are attached
refuses te let the judge come in with the
county ; as it has a right te de ? The
state can be readily districted into
"convenient" districts of contiguous
counties and without " attaching"
counties which the constitution only
authorizes te be done when "necessary,"
and if se, te otherwise district the state
is unconstitutional.
The interesting story of Dersey's own
revelations te a Chicago Herald reporter,
which was reprinted in these columns en
Saturday, is supplemented with addi
tional comments of that eminent slates
man en the recent scandalous cempila
tien of the New Yerk Sun, which was
alleged te be based en Dersey's oral ami
documentary testimony. While Dersey
stoutly maintains that the Sun sterv is
" mere thistle down floating in the air,"
and "a milk skimmer en the surface,"
and that he is net responsible for it, it
is notable that the parts of it which he
denieJ or treats lightly are irrelevant cr
of comparative unimportance, while the
weightier and darker features of it are
given added emphasis and deeper hue by
Dersey's confirmation. Net only does
he declare that Indiana was carried by
four hundred thousand dollars, put
where it would de the most geed an
average of $S0 in each election district
but that $44,000 of the campaign com cem
mittee's money was spent in distributing
Tribunes, te the exclusion of the Times,
hence the disfavor of the Times te Dor Der
sey and his associates ; he repeats that
Garfield insisted upon him going into the
cabinet ; that the workene in Ohie and
Indiana, with $500,000, wasn't a patch
te that of New Yerk, where our chief
implements were het work, sharp trades,
quiet bargains and a golden stream from
Stevenson's bank ;" that Dersey himself
gave Garfield $3,000 te help him enter
tain his visitors at Menter ; and that at
the New Yerk conference Arthur,
Piatt, Cameren, Morten and ethers
participating" Garfield premised abso
lutely and unequivocally the position of
secretary of the treasury te Levi P.
Morten in the event of his election. He
also premised that the dominant faction
in New Yerk should control the Federal
appointments of that state."

Tn.vr misfortunes never come singly is
illustrated continually in the annals of
journalism. A season of dullness is tuo tue tuo

rather, in midsummer slush from the

up te the record of realities. Within a

Nsw Yerk railroad, the suicide of the
Spauibh minister, the bold attempt te
garrote a bauker en a daylight train,

have warned the news editor that there is

Sener Francisce Barca, Spanish Envey
and minister plenipotentiary te the United
States committed suicide at an early hour
Sunday morning, in'uis room, iu the Albe
marle hotel. New Yerk, by sheeting
himself in the head with a revolver.
He arrived from Washington en the 20th
instant and went te the Albemarle hotel.
There he occupied room 31, a large room
fronting en Broadway, with a bed room
and dressing room attached. His wife
and younger daughter were the guests of
Sener Jese Navarre, at Seabright N. J.
and during his stay Sener Barca visited
them there several times. Saturday he
called at tbe Spanish consulate and con
versed for some time with consul general
Miguel Snarez.
Sener Barca was about te return te
Europe with his wife and daughter, the
two latter intending te visit his eldest
daughter, the wife of M. D. Allaire de la
Salle, a wealthy land owner residing in
Paris, 'and te remain with her while
Sener Barca went en te Madrid and
returned te this country alone. In conver
sation with the consul general, he spoke
pleasantly of his approaching visit te
Europe and of meeting old friends and
associates there. Returning te the hotel
in the afternoon, he busied himself writing
letters and dined in his room alone.
About 7 o'clock he descended te the
office and gave his key te the dark, at the
same time saying something te him in
French. The clerk did net understand
what he said, but he noticed that he
looked pale and agitated, and that his
hand trembled. Shortly after leaving the
hotel Sener Barca returned, carrying a
package under his arm. A little later
Sener Manuel S Suarez, a Spanish com.
mission merchant,called upon the minister
by request, and remained with him in his
room until 2 o'clock.
Sener Barca conversed pleasantly during
tbe evening and urged upon Ssner Suarez
the importance of selling the three horses,
the carriages and ethor personal effects
whieh he had brought en from Washing
ton, and which he had wished te dispese
of before his departure for Europe. When
Saner Suarez was about te leave however.
Sener Barca batrayed much agitation,
walking up and down the fleer nervously
and permitting his emotion te find vent in
tears. In reply te a question by Sener
Suarez he said that his emotion was caus
ed by his approaching separation from his
family and from friends ha loved At least
he expressed a desire te go te early mass
at the cathedral, and asked his friend te
call for him and acoempany him. Sener
Suarez premised te call for him at 5
O'clock in the morning, and then bade him
geed night.
At the hour named he returned te the
hotel and ascended te Saner Barca' a room.
He found the deer closed but net locked.
Entering he perceived that the gas wa3
still burning dimly Passing into the bed
room he was horrified te see Sonei- Barca
kneeling beside his bed, his head drooping
en his right arm, which rested en the bed
and supported it, his face and clothes
covered with bloeJ, wild bleed also stained
the bed clothes aud had formed a peel of
bleed en the fleer. In the right side of
the head was a large bullet hele through
which the brains slowly oezsd.
On the bed lay a large Celt's revolver of
41 calibre, with six chambers,ene of which
had been discharged. Ssner Barca was
already dead, and hi3 body was cold.
Without informing any oae in the hotel,
Sener Suarez proceeded at once te notify
the consul general, who returned with him
te the hotel. The police aud the coroner
were then notified, aud dispatches were
sent te Souera Barca at Seabright and te
the first secretary of Isgatieu at Washing
ten. On a table in the sitting room were
twenty letters, addressed te members et
Sener Barca's family and te his friends.
These are supposed te be the letters he
was engaged iu wiiting. Oae of them,
addressed te the consul geueral, stated
that he intended te kill himself, because
his treubles were mero than he could hear.
He also asked him te take charge of his
effects and te leek after his wife and
daughter. The letter gave ue detaiU as
te the nature of tin troubles referred te.
It is believed, however, that they were of
a financial character. It is said that he
had been living beyond his means, aud that
in striving te extricate himself from his
difficulties by speculations iu Wall street,
he became plunged in dcensr ones. His
friends assert the belief that these troubles
preyed en his mind uutil he became tem
perarily insane.
Late that evening Senera Barca aud her
daughter arrived in the city in company
with the Brazilian minister. They had
net bseu told of the minister's death, and
when they heard of it they suffered tha
greatest anguish aud are much prostrated.
Sener Barca was 52 years old.ef medium
height, stout build aud with a grayish
moustache. He was a uative of Puarta
Real, iu th9 province of Cadiz. Ha was a
lawyer by profession. At an early age he
entered politics en the Liberal side. and
was several time3 elected te the Certes.
He was under secretary of the interior at

After the services, hundreds et persons
viewed the corpses. The mass of persons
who were outside of the church eutnum
bered these withie, and it took one and a
half hour before the last ene had taken a

Ati ITALIAN TOWN WIPED O0r.
Horrible l.eu of Life 3,000 Persona Killed
by a Terrible Karttiqaake Near
Naples, en Saturday.
The town of Casamicciela, ou tbe
Ischia, near Naples, was almost entirely
destroyed by an earthquake en Satur
day night. The neighboring towns en
Tenie andLacceamene were greatly dama
ged. It is impossible, as yet, te give the
number of the dead. In the latest ac
counts the number is estimated at 3,000.
The hotel Piccola Sentinella sank in the
earth and buried many of its inmates.
Seme of tbe inhabitants of the town es
caped te the sea at the first shock and
made their way te Naples with the news
of the calamity. The centre of the area of
the shock was the same as that of two
years age, but the radius was wider. The
shock was felt at sea, and, according te
some accounts, even at Naples.
A gentleman who was staying at the
Hetel Piccola, Sentinella,and who escaped
with his life, relates that he only had time
te secure some candles for use in the dark
ness of the night. The ground opened in
many places while in ether placeB there
was no movement. Water gushed out of
springs. Several boilers in the bathing
house burnt.
The exeitement in Italy may be imagined
from the fact that there were 2,000 visters
in Ischia, including wealthy Reman and
Neapolitan families and several deputies,

sagliere telegraphs : " I have just returned
from Ischia. Casamicciela, Lacco and
Forie have been destroyed. They were
three of the most flourishing communes
en the island whieh was half overthrown.
The read between the town of Iachea and
Casamicciela is impassible" The prefect
of Naples telegraphs that the town of
Casamicciela has ceased te exist.
A parson who lives near the new ruined
bathing establishment says he escaped
from the place amid falling walls and bal
conies, tbe terrified peeple shouting " te

The theatre, which was a wooden

there are many dead and wounded. At
Forie the churches were ruined, but no
one was killed. At Serrara fifteen were
killed. The troops have recovered the

BASKBALI..
The ironsides A I meat Shut the National
Out.
There have been several nice picnics iu
this city this year, but the finest was the
one which the Ironsides baseball club had
en Saturday afternoon when they played
tbe National club, of Philadelphia. This
team played a game in Atlantic City en
Friday loosing by the score of 4 te 3. The
seaside nine the day before played an
eleven inning game with the Ress elub of
Uhester, one of the finest in the state, the
latter winning by the scere cf 1 te 0. Frem
this the peeple here believed that tbe Na
tienals wenld give our nine some work, but
tney were aisappeinted. Their nine bad
been changed Eemewhat from the day
before and Capel.ef the Five-Twenty elub,
played at short. The strangers in their
practice game en tbe field showed a great
deal of skill in handling the ball and it
would have been better for them if
they had continued the practice.
Game was called at 4 o'clock, and
as Zscher wen the toss the strangers
went te the bat, and scored one
run by a geed hit of Reifsnyder, who
stele te second and was brought in by
Hutl. The euly ether runs scored by the
nine were made in the third and fifth
innings, in each of whieh they get ene by
telerable geed bits and errors. The home
team, upon going te the bat, in tbe first
inning, scored seven ruus ; their batting
was tremendous, the strangers' pitcher
baing hit very easily. The Ironsides
scorned able te put balls wherever they
desired, and the visitors were unable te
field, and made errors that were frightful
te witness. Atene time it was thought
that the inning would last all afternoon,
but three men were finally put out. In
the second inning, two mere runs worn
made with a blank in the third and three
in the fourth and fifth each. The sixth
inning was a repetition of tbe first.
Such batting as the Ironsides did has never
been seen en the ground. Everybody struck
heavy and several men reached third en
their bats. The visitors could net pick up
the balls, nor could they threw or catch
them, the left fielder muffing no less than
three in this inning. When he held a ball
finally he received tromendons applause.
In the seventh inning the home team made
five mere runs aud for a wonder did net
score in the'Mghth. Thay had no use for
their bat in the ninth and did net take it.
This left the scere at tha end stand 20 te 3
in favor of the home club.
Tbe home team had but few errors, and
it was interesting te see hew well they
played. Sweitzer and Zscher formed tha
battery. The pitching of the former was
very geed and the latter did net have a
passed ball. Schiller and Househelder did
excellent work at first and third base and
Peffer astonished all by his fine game at
second. Hofferd, who plays well any
place, as usual kept his end up in geed
style at short. The fielders each caught a
number of difficult flies and none were
muffed. Of the visitors Siffer, the catcher,
played the best game, as he caught for no
less than four wild pitchers and worked
hard throughout the game. Capel and
Hunter each made fine catches of het
balls from the bat and Hutt played a
splendid game at firs!;. The score in full
fellows :

Just as the Middlatewn Greys had
taken their positions iu the field in the
match game of bassball with the Daunt
less of Mount Jey, en Saturday afternoon,
a rain storm from the west interfered witu
tbe game. The rain continued for fifteen
minutes, putting the ball ground in a
muddy condition and dispersing the crowd
of several hundred ladies and gentlemen
who had turned out te see the game. An
hour later the ground having been strewn
with sawdust the game was rc-semmenced.
Before the home team was retired they
scored five runs, Walbern having been
hit with ease. Off Pyle the strangers
made one run in the first inning and eight
en base hits in the nine innings. Tbeir
battery the visitors changed several times
and the ene that worked best was Wal
born, pitcher, aud Decker, catcher. The
visitors were outplayed at every point
By a series of sarieus errors of the horns
team the Greys inade four runs in the
eighth inning, othercvise they would have
had only a total of three runs The ground
was net in its beat condition, whieh ac

both sides. This is the third time the

The annual examination of the Hebrew
babbath-schoel took place in the temple
en East Orange street, en Sunday-evening,
commencing at half-past five o'clock. The
school is in charge of Rev. Samuel Laski,
assisted by his wife, who for the past six
months has given her aid in the work gra
tuitously. The audience was quite large,
almost every seat in tha temple beiug eccu
pied. The exercises were of an instruct i ve
and entertaining character, reflecting
credit en tbe teachers who had prepared
the pregramme and the little folks wh
participated in it.
The opening prayer, was admirably ren
dered by Helene Linderman, a bright
little girl, some ten years old.
Then followed a les?ou in the Hebrew
language by a class of boys and girls. It
consisted of spelling, reading and trans
lating Hebrew into English. This was
done as rapidly and correctly as children
of tbe same age read or spoil English in the
public schools.
The second part of the programme was
a lessen en "The Principles of the Jewish
Religion." These we:e expounded catu
chetically, the teacher asking the ques
tions, and the children in turn giving the
answers, which they did readily and
without hesitation. The lossen included
the thirteen articles of the Jewish creed
and the ten commandments.
The third part of the pregramme com
prised the "Biblical History of the
World," catechetically rendered; and the
fourth part consisted of vocal and instru
mental music, by a choir under the lead of
Miss Jennie Owens, and biief poetical
recitations by the pupils, as fellows :
Music, "America," by the choir, with
organ accompaniment.
"We Meet Again," opening address, by
Miss Ray Peose.

Peose.

"Walk before Gad," by Bertha S:rau3i.
Closing prayer, by r'r.mk L'wb.repeated
by the entire school.
Vecal music, by choir 150l!i Psalm.
Many of the recitations were received
with great applause, and Merris Leeb wa3
presented with a beautiful baskut of (low
ers and Frank Leeb witji a handsome
bouquet, both of which were well deserved.
Helen Lederman's selections were also
especially well rendered. Tbe Peose girls
also recited their pieces admirably. The
music by the choir was a feature of much
interest.
Rer. Laski iu a brief speech compli
mented the little folks fur their creditable
efforts, thanked the audience for tbeir
attendance and urged upon parents the
importaneo of atteudin closely te the
religious as well ai scalar education of
their children.
The President, Philip Bcrnari', followed
in a few congratulatory rematks, and
announced a four weeks' vacation for the
school.
A sole and chei us were sung by the choir,
an organ sole was rendered by Harry
Lnkenbacb, and benediction pronounced
by Rev. 'Laski.
The children then 1 at down te a table
