The' committee of the Philadelphia eettBClIa has bud before it, upon the aaeatlen Ot the coal freight discrimina tien against Philadelphia, a witness who gave them In a succinct shape the whole story of the abuse from which their city suffers. It was the city editor of the Secord who has been making a thor ough Investigation of the matter and has had his Industry rewarded by full en lightenment. The facta lay open te any one diligently Inquiring fcr them, and It is a matter of surprise that the councilman of the city should be se lg n6rant of them as seme of them seemed te be. They would net haye been surprised at Mr. Nerrls' Btatementiftheyhad been, themselves, lanre consumers of coal. The gist of It was that Philadelphia paid mero for the coal mints In her own state and carried by railroads built by her capital and energy than Is paid by cities in ether states mere distant from the coal Held. The reason why this Is se, is perfectly plain. It springs from no hostility of the railroads te the town that gave them birth. The fact simply is that they can get mere for coal in Philadelphia than further cast, because they have mere competition in its carriage te the east. They fellow the rule, te get all they can, which gov gev ems the railroad efllcer supremely, as it does most merchants. There is n difference of opinion among merchants, however, as te hew they can get the most : seme bellove in dealing mere lib erally than ethers ; but none of them persist in charging mere than they can tret. Se long as Philadelphia permits coal te be sent through It te out slde people at less prices than Its ncoDle nav. se lone will the railroads collect this extra amount from Philadelphians. But Philadelphia con trols the situation, because the railroads are dependent largely en the friendliness of her authorities for the many privi leges they eDjey ; and the state of Penn sylvania will come te her assistance If she demands it. The state should net permit her citizens te he discriminated agalust by her railroads. They are en tirely within her control In the matter, and it b her duty te enact that none of her products shall be carried for citizens of ether states at a less prlce than is charged te her own citizen". Aud she can make it a criminal offense, as it Bheuld be. te perpetrate such a wrong. The railroad directors who charge Peunsylvnnians mere than ether people for Pennsylvania coal should be chained te jail. It Musi Come. The governor of New Yerk has signed a bill recently passed by the Legislature enactlug that all telegraph, telephone nud eUctrlc wires In the cities of Broek lrnamlXew Yerk must be put uiulu ground ; the companies being allv.ved uutil .November, 1SS5, te make the necessity chances and if they fail te de it within that period then the city giv ernment la authorized te have the work done at the expense of the companies. This is a very proper and sensible bill, and the companies affected by It should be glad te comply with Its liberal pre visions instead of seeking te obstruct its operation by interposing technical objections, as we see they propose te de Se far as public rights, interests and safety are concerned there Is no disput ing the piesent dangers created by the net work, spread ever every large city, of wires strung along the streets and across the housoteps, as dose as teeth in a line comb. Time and again it has beeu demonstrated that these are a public nuisance and a constant menace te life and security, while the invasion of private prepeity by the appliances of these corporations Is the climax of im pudent assumption. The companies, for their own protec tion, should be glad te remove their poles and adept the improved system, which may be mero expensive nt first, but which will prove geed economy in the end, which is bound te come aud can be adopted mere easily new than hereafter, When the change will be a work of much greater mnguitude. At present these poles cumber the streets aud their wires are strung through the air simply by municipal or Individual toleration. Seener or later this will cease. Even new their crossing of the housetops, nud their serious interference with business necessities and domestie comforts have induced property owners te cut them ; and they ure amply justified in law and equity. The system of underground wires is without doubt near at hand , the companies may as well understand it. An lsBue or Veracity. Mr. Chas. II. Bergner, upon whose authority the Ilarrlsburg 1'atrlet printed the Btery of Kcmble exhibiting at Ciu clnuatl the charges which proved his bribery of Blaine, na speaker, sends te that paper a explicit denial. He says : I never said te any person at any time I saw or knew of a check being circulated among the Pennsylvania delegates during the balloting by Mr. Kotnble or any oue else. 1 oeuld net have truthfully said se, because I was net in Cincinnati at that tlme. On thoevenlug of the 10th, at 8 o'clock, I left Oiunlnaatl for llarrlsburu When tbe flual balloting began I was in Alteena. This faet reudcred it impossible that I should have witnessed what your paper attributes te ma. Yeu must kuew, I knew and every member of tbe Pennsyl vaula dolceatleu of 1870 knows that noth ing llke that which I am innTe te detull took plaee. Mr. Koruble, who was Involved In the fitery, cemwi te the fore promptly with a denial bf It; and Quay- and numerous ether delegates who would have known the facts had they been there. In the absence of tiny confirmatory ttvldence of the truth of the story ; an 1 with the persons who were given us au thority for It making such sweeping denial of It, It must he admitted te be without substantial foundation. But thu Patriot, which we felt sure was tee con -Hervatlve nud careful te print sueh u serlena oharge without warrant, vindi cates its steed faith by a square challenge ti M' Bfrner, which he must meet. In en open lotter te him Mr. Herbert, the news dJter, says : I was Informed by three different gen tlemen of promlneneo, who are residents of this elty, thnt you did make the state ment attributed te you In the artlole of which you complain Wblle I de net nn.iinn vniir vnrAeltv. I iustifv my pub licatien of the matter en thogreuod that ray information was 01 sueii a ouaraeior that I oeuld net doubt Its authenticity. Hut you cannot ami win ues ueuy mn It was publiely asserted, and nevcr pub Hely contradletcd, that Sir. Kotnble did dcolare thnt he gave Blalne his check for $5,000 and subsequently for $2,500, for a servlce rondered or te be rendered him by Ulalne as speaker of the Ilouse at Wash ingten. This Is the point, and the only point, In the whole matter. Yeu bellevcd thin te be true, boeauso it Is troll known that you opposed Blaino'e nomination en the ground that things llke this would be brought ent against him. We have a very distinct recollection of hearing this same story floating around through the political circles of the state ; and It always came, llke most of the revelations about Blaine, from the Stalwarts of his own party. Between the three Informants of the Patriot aud Mr. Bergner there seems te be an issue of veracity. m Blaine's weakness becomes mero np pircnt as the canvass progress.

The feat of talking evor 1,200 miles of wire connecting two tolephouos, with ue percoptible less of pewer by induction, has beeu performed in Cincinnati. A telephone was placed in the operatlug room et the Baltimere and Ohie tolegraph company and another in the cellar. Tbe instruments were tint connected with with wires te and from Chllllcethe, nearly 200 miles, when the conversation was heard very distinctly, though carried ou In a tone indistiugulsbable a few feet from the instrument. A similar line was then formed te Grafton, W. Va,,C00 miles, with the same result, aud then te Daltimore, 1,200 mllea, with no prcceptl bio difference in the distinctness with which tbe conversation was heard. There was absolutely no apparent less by induc tion. Though fourteen telegraph wires alengside were in full operation, no sound of an instrument could be heard. The instrument used was the new Hepkins transmitter, in whleh the carbons are In oenstant vibration during a conversation, the current being thus alternately opened and closed perfectly as by au ordinary Merso key in telegraphy.

WAS II r, A I'KAMC: Il(nr Meal tlllle.ple, liNlne'a (intndUtner, Outijeiier-led til. Ilelatlvei, Helatcd by ChrU Maee. Old Neal Gillespie, father-in-law of Ephriam Ulaine, the father of Jim, lived out in Washington county. He waa a shrewd business man, .well liked by his neighbors, but always considered a little quenr. "I don't knew whether he could be called a erank, but be had that reputation nevertheless. One of his favorite pranks was te hitch a horse te his sleigh iu mid summer, threw iu a let of buffalo robes, and drive ever te Washington. I think the whole trouble with him was, that the mero his family endeavored te prevent bis doing queer things, tbe mero be would de them. When his sons and daughters married and left bis reef,ho gave oaeh one a due farm, and when his daughter married Eph. Rlaine, ahe shared like tbe ethers, though Eph. hadn't very mueb of this world's goods at the time. Matters moved along for a i',oed many years, Eph. Rlaine sold tbe farm his father-ln law bad glven him, and tbe proeeeds seen disappeared. Old man Gillespie still carried en iu his queer ways until finally the sons and eons-in law petitioned oeurt for a luuaey commission in bis behalf, as they claimed the old gcutlemau was mentally incapable of taking care of his estate. The question came up bofero court for a bear ing, but old Neal Gillesple declined te have any attorney and preceeded te ccn duct the case hlmself. Epbralm Blaine, bis son-in-law, was the first witness called. He went exhaustively into tbe cause which led the family te take the step they had ; told about bis father In law's crazy ways, and was then turned ever te tbe alleged lunatic for cress-exam (nation. " Yeu are my son-in-law Eph, I believe?" "Yes sir ," responded Jim's father. "Did you get any dowry with by daugh ter wnen you nor married V" "Yes I did." "Tell the court what preperty you had yourself when you were married ?" The witness objeotcd en the ground that it has nothing te de with the case. "Hut I'll show you that it has." re sponded Gillespie, nud te humor him the judge required Olalne te auswer the ques tion. "Well, I didn't have anything" said tbe witness roluetautly. "New, tell me what became of the farm I gave you aud tuy daughter when you were married ?" "Ah well It has been sold." "And where la the meney ?" "Oh it has been spent for household and ether purposes." "Get any of It left new?" "Net very much." "That will de," said the old man, with a twinkle la his oye, "I'm dene with you for the present. He took up tbe next witness, another son-in-law, and subjected him te the same exeruclatlug cress-tire, aud oe en te tbe end, the result with eaeh relallve being the same. Ephraim Ulalne was called up aalti. "Eph, I want you te tell tha court If my ostate was diminished any when I gave a jiurt ei it ie you nnu your wner" "Yes, elr j it was." "Well, slnce thou, have I added te or kept ou diminishing It?" "I believe you have bought some laud since then." "Added several farms, aud atosked 'em, tee, hav'ut I ?" "Yec sir " " en have sold your farm and get neth. luglnlt elit?' "Yes, sir." "Aud you want me doelarod a lunatic, aud you take the management of .my estate." ' That's what we want the court te de, sir.' The Old fellow, tall, caunt.nnil ntVtvnr.l arose in the court, glartd around ou the members of the family who had wasted their eubstanoe, and yet wanted him ad Judged a lunatle, and blurted out, "well, you are all a line set ofdueks te want te ruauage my estnte after yeu've squandered all of your own," and he strede from the court house in a towering rage. The court refused te adjudge him a lunatic, aud the sons and seus-ln-law failed te get their fingers en the old inau's preperty." STAIIL'S l.KUb l'OUNU.

Twe human legs were found lleatlug In the Wissahickeu creek, about sixty feet belew Thorp's bridge, en tbe park drive, Philadelphia, en Sunday afternoeu, by Harmau Hasober. These are presumed te boleug te the nrmless, legless and hcadless trunk of tbe body of Frederick Stahl, whleh was found In the same s.re.un en tbe 27th of Mareh last.

It is new cloven weeks since the trunk was first discovered, and at the tlme of the original finding, although the creek was dragged for days, none of the ether portions of the body could be found. Finally a. head whb discovered. This fitted te the trunk. Then a pair of arms, oue el wulcli the seiontille medical men at me coroner's office declared was crooked, as if the ewner had been in the habit of raising heavy nrtlelcs te his mouth. This creek- ed arm led te the complete Iden tification of the remains as thjie of Stahl. New the legs have floated t- the surface, aud nil the tuissiug monibers are in tbe possession of the oerouor. It is ba- lloved by the officers that the legs wero in a woigbted bag, and were kept at the bot tom of the stream.

It was lu the year 1S31 when he was state su perlnteudcut of the old Columbia & Phila delphia railroad, new a part (if the Penn sylvania railroad. One olrcumstatice in this coumietiou comes up very vividly. The railroad bridge ever thu Conestoga, ene mlle belew Lancaster, had bepu destroyed by lire, It having caught from the sparks of a lodtnetlve, and it was uecessary uutil a temporary structure was put up te haul tbe passengers iu omnibuses down by thu creek read te Winner's bridge, tbotice up the Philadelphia turnpike te Lancaster. While the btidge was being rebuilt Gcuernl Rjtimfert gavj the matter his personal attention, 1- was struck by his military air and beariug, his style of dress being uniformly sonu-reiluary nis assis tant was Colonel .latncB U jnn.ef Lancaster, who is still living at an octegtuanan's age. Beth geutlemau had a decidedly vigorous way of expressing themselves wheu displeased. We boys wero always doing something mischievous, but kept a pretty sharp oye en the general and colonel, for we greatly feared their displeasure, although at a sate distance it gave us de light te hoax their inimitable way of speaking of these " little rascals." Mere than half a century age General Roumfert was prineipal of a military school at Mount Airy, was subsequently a state senator from Philadelphia, and wan for mauy years a prominent Democratic politician. II" was a man of superior in tclligence, received a line education nt a military school in France, where he was born, and was, 1 think, ler a tlme at West Point. He was of tine presence, possessed pleasant conversational powers, und had many friends. His friendships were warm and his hatreds bitter. He was mayor of Harrisburg during tbe war, and upheld the dignity of the pesitijn against all op position during that tryiug period. He llved te a patriarchal age and died uni versally lamented. i:aii miNKUAi. ini.ua Teachers Appointed br th Scheel Hearu--Stiudity Schuut Ituerituled.
