LANCASTEK DAILY INTELLIGENCE! SATt'ltnAY, SEPTEMBER 22. 1S8: Yk y juncastev MdUgcnrcv. HaTOBDAY BVKNINO, 8KPT23, 100U, A Smhlcii Decline. Mcn'fl cxjwctntlens nie be often disap pointed Hint overyeno la ready te rccog rcceg rccog nlze tlie truth of t-liu proverb tlintneth Ing is no likely te hnpixm us tlie unex pectcd. Thew Interested In tlie Northern Pacific railroad have particular occasion Just new te feel tlie truth of this saying. Tliey have been tiwnlting the opening of the rend ns an event which was te boom their stock : Instead of which It rocs down with frightful speed after the golden splke Is driven. A half million or mere of dollars wcre expended In n free oxcursleh, with abundant previsions and liquors, at which the Invited guests were big bugs from all the world ever. Tliey get across te Ptiget sound and back again te the meeting point of the rails In the wlldemea, through great dangers nnd with hair breadth escapes. Tlie speeches which, had been prepared nnd printed befere their departure and left with the kind newspapers in the liaat te print, were probably made though they wcre net published. The guests carae home with full stomachs nnd undeleted purses. And then some wicked men began te sell down tlie Northern Pacific stock. The "blind peel" that had sustained it seemed te have exhausted Its cash, and failed te staud up befere some ether peel, net se blind, that sought te hammer its stock. Just why the value of the read should be less when it Is completed the outside public does net knew ; nor does it com prehend tlie game of which tlie stock Is made tlie feet ball. It is true that tlie read has cost inore than It was estimated te cost. It is true, again, that these having it new in charge have shown their lack of geed judgment and reck lessness of expenditure in getting up this costly and silly grand free excursion, when a train full of reporters would have done tlie needed work a great deal better. It Is true, also, that this long and costly read passes through an unde veloped country, which is net yet pre pared te sustain it with its traffic. Still these things de net of themselves ac count for the sudden depreciation of the stock. The fact seems te be tliat there is a lack of courage, or cash, or both, en the part of these who control the read at present ; mid that ether people with mere dash and cash are after them te oust them from their birthright. It is said that Mr. Jay Gould is one of the plratee, and the style of his game is such as te make this probable. Vhi:n" tlie members of the Legisla ture reconvene in Ilarrisburg next week, the first thing the Democrats et the Heuso should de is te determluu whether or net they propeso 'te impress their party and the people of the state generally with confidence in the sinceri ty of the position they have assumed Ui'eu tlie apportionment question, and the continuance of the extra session. In order te de this it will be necessary for tlum te take immediate measures te secure the constant attendance of the members or that body and mere fre quent as well as natter attended sts nluns. Upen the last tell call of the Heuse en Friday Uiere were mere absenties recorded than were members voting en cither side of tlie question at issue Speaker Fauncu has ordered all the ab sentees noted and tlie Democratic news papers of the state should conspicuously print their names day after day. IJut the nspensibility is net all their.;. It is shared equally by thesa who, remaining at Ilarrisburg, yet fail te enforce tin processes of that bidyte secure the at tendance of their associates. Even the most steadfast friends of the policy el the Legislature remaining in session admit that the Heuse had far better consent te immediate adjournment than present the spectacle, which lias been seen almost uninterruptedly for tlie past six u-eks, of liavlir.' less than a constitutional ma jority of Democrats present at its ces sions. Tlie prajers of the chaplain, which constitute tlie main part of the dally business, may be pleasant and profitable, but they are net enough te justify the continuance of the session. Tin: war cloud that was only a tiny speck en the European horizon a month age, has Income somewhat largir than tlie typical man's baud at the prevent tlme, ami the greater portion of Kurepe may be eventually darkened by its shadow. Tlie France Chinese question is still a smeuldering volcano, which may become active at any moment, and se much fear is felt lest this untoward result may take place, that Hngland has been called upon te act as umpire for the disagreeing principals. The centa glonef war is abroad and the threatened i uplure between France and China lias caused initiatory revolutionary upiisings in liulgaria.Serviaand Spain. Tliel'nited States may well felicitate ihelf that it la net an European power, whose stabil ity may at all times be threatened by the troubles of warring neighbors. I'eihaps if there were fewer standing armies ai.d mere of a disposition te give ami take m the inteicourse of the nations of tlie continent, U might happen that tin world would net se regularly be plungul into a state of distraction by the an nounceuieiitof another war en the con tinent. Tun wenther wisa imert that a freit bsarltiR wave la moving from the neith west In n southeasterly direction ever the country. Tlie cold snap will bow bow ever ceme tee late te inateiinlly affect the crops, meat of which have been already gathered and housed. Tlie prognestlea Hen will therefore net have the effect that would have been given It In mid Hummer, when freat would have pjayed frightful havoc with the productions of the heII. It would be well, however, for theso fnnnera who ure looking forward te it further spell of warm weather te re member this warning of the weather prophets, aud he prepared aga'nst the frost nnd cold that caunet be much longer postponed. aevr.UNQ.it Uutm:ii, with his usual shroivdness, is conducting his own cam. Jialgn. He will speak for himself at the ilaBcachusnttH Domecratlo oenvoutlon.

Maveii Kine, of Philadelphia, is light in hi purpnse te clese overy peel room In that city, as tliey are nothing mere nor less than voneored gambling dens, which would lure tlie unwary te destruction. The gambling propensity of mankind is well enough dovelopcd, without obtaining the additional aid el the law's sanction, and Mayer King's action In closing these places of iniquity will recoive the cordial approval of all friends of geed order. The shah of Persia i very careful that the rising gonerutlon et MuMttlmeu shall net stray from the Mehammedan fold. He recently grauted pormlsslen te the Presbyterians in Teberan te erect a chapel but uuder the express proviso that Mussul man clillilren shall net be admitted te the chapel, aud that no ether Mohammedan, of whatever age, be allowed te attend scrvice or recoive religious instruction thore. The shah seems pressed with the belief that the heroic treatment as applied religleui dtscase is the best. Anvn r.s from Nordeuskjold's cxpedi tien te Greenland report that the party has penetrated a distance of iWOjkilome. trcs inland, or a little mero than 223 miles. Ne expedition horeteforo has geno se far Inte the interior. They repirt the whole legion nn ice desert, aud therefore eon elude that tbote is no open water inland These announcements will satisfy the curiosity of most men, bu" it may be con cen lldcntly predicted that befere long another leultiardy expedition will be sent te verify the s:icntiflc discoveries of theso who have geno before. It would seem that the Arctic regions have entered into a league with the cyclones, tornadoes, earthquakes aud ether planetary disturbances te de strey as much ns possible of the surplus life with which the weild is teetuiu;;. Tin: cupidity of mankind was never hotter illustrated than in the history of ttiu 125 carat diamond that is seen te be cut iu Bosten. It is the largest diam. ml ever sent te this cenntry nnd was found in u diamond field in Seuth Africa three or four ears age. Iho llneer was oue of a camp of diamond hunters in a very dreary aud remote district. When he ac cidentally stumbled en his great "find" he was overjoyed.

K'liie of the playing by both clubs was very geed, while there was sonie that was very bad. Beth nines did terrific work at the back, the visitors excelling lu the early p.ut of tlie game, while the home club reserved their strong work until the last inning. The Helding of the home tram was very loeso aud their ugly eiters gave the visiteis a number of ruus. Landis anil Fry were the battery for the visitors, Merris, the California pitcher, playing in right Held as Carrell, his catcher, Is laid up iu Heading with a sprained ankle. L.indis did ellectlve work until the last itining.wheti lie was pounded unmercifully Fry had a large number of passed balls which gave the home club several i litis. HoiVeid and Oldlleld were the battery for the home team for the first three Innings. The balls of the former were net put iu with the usual force, owing te the fact that he was sintering from a sere arm, and they were batted freely iu tln second and third innings.

Lambs' two base hit bieught l-'riel m and the former scored en a three bagger te right field by Fry whose run w. is made safe by the hit of Merris Beyle retired tlie club by going out at first. The third inning was opened with a three base hit by Lirklns, who was put out at third en the step of J.ioeby s lull. Hatpin went out at first aud Tomley's ball was stepped iu time by Setico who threw badly te first and allowed .laceby te score.
