Our railroad commltteo agreed te raise the money te pay for securing tbe right of way and a com mittee out of our niembers was appointed te solicit subscriptions tborefer. One et this committee, Dr. Wlekersham, could net act, and te the neglect of my own business, I tried te take bis place and assisted Mr. Gee. N. Kjynelds, the ether member, te canvass tbe groater part et the city with rather lndiffarent success, I must admit I then, believing It my duty, walked and rede as neerly as practicable ever tbe entire route, from DillervlUe te fafe Har Har eor ; and again, en the suggestion of several gentlemeu familiar with both routes, ever the line from James and Mul berry streets te the Columbia turnpike, beyond Abbyvllle. At the following meeting of the Heard el Trade I considered it my duty te the beard when called en for my report te tell Just what I knew about the Beveral railroad projects under consideration. In pursuance thereof I gave the statement el cost and the probable gross earnings and expenses as fnrnlahed us by the managoraef the Bare Harber enterprise, and added that we thought the catltnale about correct, except in the niRtter et passenger roeolpts, which we thought Hheuld be higher, and gave the reasons ter this belief. 1 then stated that another reute had been suggested, leaving the present route near the Columbia turn pike beyond Jehn u. Uager'a residency tanning te James street near College ave nue and thence down James te Charlette, where it could connect with the 1'onnsyl 1'ennsyl vaula railroad by their line running up Charlolte street (which neither critic seems te knew el), tbonce down James le Mul berry, where it could connect with the Reading, using their rails thence te the Stevens house for passengers. I said this latter route from tbe best information 1 could get would eave ene toenoand a-ball miles In dlstance and tberelere save 10 per cant la running expenses for all time, besides accommodating the northwestern part of our city. Mr. Reynolds and I had ale agreed that it would be proper togive (be beard eomeldea of the foiling of our people as gathered in our soliciting tour ip regard te building this read. This I did ae truthfully as 1 could and certalnly showed no approval of the general apathy mani fested. All of this was surely In commendation et tbe reed but having no purpose or desire te decelve anyene, I also deemed It my duty te state te the beard what is a faet that the passenger station of the Pennsylvania railroad at Safe Harber is en the opposite side of the creelr from our read, and that they also owned the right et way as well as thetrackef the long siding (mllocrmere) running from their main line up te the iron works en our side of tbe creek, and that If they rdOisetoallew us te connect with or use their riding, or te move their passenger station te our side of tbe creek it would cause us considerable expense, and this seems te have been the head and front et my ellendlng. " Railroad" cautiously says In regard te fixing this matter with the Pennsylvania railroad company "when tbe preper time comes te take up matters et this kind, 1 think they can be satisfactorily arranged without much trouble." Yeu reacli the same conclusion by a much shorter cut : 'There will be no dltUculty there (Safe Harber) about the depot," and f presume this will cempd the Pennsylvania railroad te permit us te nse their long siding as part of our main line. 1 de net have se much confidence that railroad companies will de a thing just be cause I or he wants It done. Yeu, however, settle the whole business a few lines further down in these words : "The railroad will be built ; and will be built te a connection near DillervlUe with the Pennsylvania and Reading." While net enjoying tbe serene confidence In this oracular statement, 1 think I will rejoice as heartily when it Is done. And 11 " Railroad " or you will produee one Blngle member et the Heard of Trade who was present at its last meeting who will fay they understood me nven with my admltted " Infelicitous mode of expres sion," as trying te " place obstacles " In tbe way of the Safe Harber read farther than tbe truth about the Sale Harber terml nus would de It or that 1 showed tbe slight est " lack et sympathy " with it ; then I will agree that both their criticisms are de served. The only posslble cause which I can see for this totally uncalled ler attack upon myselt by both these gentlemen is that 1 mentioned te the beard ei Trade of whleh I was a member one of tbe new admitted difficulties In the way of building the pre posed read and the Inquiry suggests itself "did they wish this dlilieulty kept bidden until alter peeple have subscribed tbelr money te tbe enterprise." I would net like te think se, but it seems open te that suspicion. I believe that the best way te get money for any enterprise Is te tell tbe whole truth about It, bad as well as geed, and if tbe Sate Harber read is te be built by suppress ing any material fact from tbe stockholders and if the railroad committee of the Beard of Trade are expected te aid in this, it will need a new chairman. "Railroad" in his concluding paragraph insinuates that the railroad oemmittee bad reasons of tbelr own for net endorsing tbe enterprise. Se far as 1 am concerned this insinuation Is totally untrue and lying by Insinuation rregard as the meanest kind or lying. R. J. Housten, Ieiptrtlnc the Clay Street Stner. Friday afternoon the water works and sewer committee, together with the mayor and water commission, made a thorough Inspection of the Clay street sewer. An expert was eent into the sewer and trav ersed Us entire extent, 2,233 feet, tad re ported the interior of the arch te be is first dam condition, and thoroughly cemented en tbe Inside. A few finishing touches en the outside have yet te be made by tbe contractor, whleh will require only tew daya' work. Tbe officials seemed te be well satisfied that the Jeb waa a geed one, ana will no doubt recommend councils te aeajp. It. AI-IKK H IS BIQHT DOM.ARH. Benjamin Hreaamaa Baa Eaaannel nettle man Arrested ler TaBlag Bis Meney, Bmanuel Helsleman la man who deea net seem te be happy unless he la involved in a scrape or aeme kind. He seems te have a fondness for appropriating the money of ether people and that weaknesa baa again put blm In trouble. During the month of May Helsleman was peddling had through the county. One day he topped at tbe residence of Benjamin Breneman, near Landlsvllle, and that gen tleman purchased 112 worth of fish. He gave Helsleman a 120 geld piece In pay ment. Heialeman said he had no change but would go among the neighbors te soil some mere fish and would return with Mr. Breneman'a balance. The temptation was tee great for Emanuel and he pocketed tbe money. Mr. Brene man made complaint against him before Alderman McConemy and a warrant for his arrest was placed in the hands of Cen stable Plckel, of Petersburg. Tbe officer looked for hi man for several daya and did net find him until last evening. Helsleman was standing near the tent at the riding school, at tbe upper part or North Queen street Piekel went up te him and read his warrant He followed this by pulling a pair of handeufls from his pocket whleh he Intended te put 'en Helsleman. The latter did net think be had done sum- olent te entitle him te wear a pair "wrlsters" se he rebelled. He tried te push Plckel away and finally hit blm a stinging blew in the eye. Helsleman then ran towards Faegleyavllle followed by Plokel,whe fired his pistol at blm. The ball almost struck Helsleman, who beard it whistle past his bead. After this disebarge of lllery the men bad another tussle and finally, when Officer Ebrman came te Pickel'a assistance, Helsleman agreed te go along. He would nat wear the ImndcuUs, however, and Plckel made no further ellerts te force him. At the alderman's ofllee Heialeman entered ball for a hearing. Ilefore tha Mayer. The mayor disposed et four cases this morning. First en the list was Jehn Crewley. He waa employed en the con struction of the new sewer and celebrated the event of Its completion by gettlng drunk. As he was net noisy and it was bis first ellense he was dlseharged. Charles Dennis, who lest an eye In an aoeidont and through whleh his remaining eye is affected, was arrested by Officer Ehrmsn for begging. Dennlsadmltted the eharge te be correct and his reason ter begging was that it was bis only means et getting a living. He expressed a desire te be sent te tbe county almshouse and the mayor ansomniedated blm. The. Alisen, a young Englishman, was found wandering en the streets near mid night and was given lodging at the station house. He Bald he worked at mining in the old country and came here te better, bis condition, bnt thus far he has been unsuccessful. Tbe mayor told blm te try te get work here te earn snOlelent money te take blm te the coal mines and he premised te de se. Number four en tbe list was Henry Mttz ger, a young man residing in this city, who was arrested ter disorderly conduet at tbe court home corner at an early hour this morning. He was committed te the station bouse ter ten hour.

Troops Under Marching Orders aad the l'eo l'ee pi Carrying Qeaa. dispatch from Kansas says : Frem the statement of Charles lllee, a farmer, who earns In Thursday from Stevens oeunty,'the scene of the railroad county aeat fight be tween the te waa of Bngstea and Weeds- dale, it appears that tbe entire population la under arms. Mr. Klee says squads et armed men and mounted citizens from both places patrol the country night and day for miles around. These gangs act aa foraging pertlee, and have but Utile respect for tbe property et ethers. On Monday night two of these patrols belonging te different fac tions met and a oenfliot eniraed, during whleh a regular futllade waa kept up. It la net known whether any one was wounded, but three dead horses were found ea the prairie the next morning. The situation la serious, and tbe efiest of the warfare will be felt long after the fight shall have ceased. Farmers are riding around armed instead of tilling their seli, and crops are likely te fall In consequence. Governer Martin bas commanded the militia te be la readiness for marching orders at any time.

The following letter te tbe Philadelphia Rteerd from "GUI" Ball, the well-known oelored leader or the Seventh ward, of Philadelphia, la Interesting as ahewlng hew the spirit of Independence la develop ing among tbe negrees, upon whose sub- aervleney the Republicans have always relied Implleltly. The address of Mr. Elk Ins that is referred te advocated a ehange of Republican tactleaby doing away with the race Issue and seeking te break the solid Seuth through Industrial ques tions. Mr. Ball's letter says : The speech et Hen. Stephen B.

Aa te his benefits therefrem he is no party te his wages, and his stand ing with the commercial world will be the same under free trade aa nndera protective system, aa they cannot be further redueed. The factory doers have been and will re main forever closed against him, and the machine shops and the machinists them selves have organized te keep the Ameri can negre forever out of tbelr Institutions. Therefore, If our vote la te be divided en economical questions, there Is no better time te commence than new.

Wm. II. Oerrecht Deserts Bis Wile aad She Basks Maintenance. A few years age William H. Gorreeht len this elty and went te California. He made no prevision for the maintenance of his wife, and ahe made application te the beard of peer directors for relief. Tbe peer directors upon looking after the matter learned that he was possessed of oonsld eonsld oensld rable estate, held In trust for him. In order te reach thla property two el the peer directors this afternoon made an affidavit setting forth the above facta before Alder men Deen and ISarr. These magistrates return the affidavit te oeurt as If the defen dant was charged with desertion. Tbe matter will then be argued and the act of assembly provides that the oeutt may then decree a spclfie sum te be paid for the maintenance of the wife from the husband's estate. Thla pro pre pro eeedlng Is new In this elty, and It la the first ease under whleh this aet of aasembly was Inveked in this county. J.W.Johnsen representa Mrs. Gorreeht. The Raenlts at St. Loet BDrtngtlela Uur.) Ucpuullcan, Hep. The Democratle national oenventlouat St Leuis waa a notable gathering. In the oharaeter of Its composition and the spirit whleh animated It, the assemblage was far above any held by the party slnee the war, while the hearty and enthusiaatla unanim ity with which the head of the ticket was chosen Is almost without precedent In tbe whole history or tbe organiza tion, extending ever a period or one hun dred years. This latter feature covers a profoundly significant faet. The man thus honored la net a great military chieftain, like Jacksen, appealing powerfully by his exploits te the herole Instincts of men, nor yet a brilliant and magnolle political leader drawing te himself an admiring and onthusiastle following by tbe mero force et his personality, tils ia only a plain, straightforward, honest, outapekon, fearless man, who has had the oiuraseef strenir oenvlotlons and the atrength te give them force. And, leek at It bow ene will, there Is no esoape from the conclusion that a sim ple dovetlon te duty, a oensolontlotis exe cution of the trust reposed In htm by the people, and a watchful care against en. oreaohmenta upon their rights were tbe prime elements that led up te tbe extra ordinary spectacle el Wednesday neon. One cannot consider It all without feel ing mere than ever assured that a govern ment of tbe people will net perish from the earth. It teaches a wholesome les les eon. Frem this time forth let It net be said that aubterfuge and double deal ing are greater forces in politics than honesty and plain speaking. When aueh traits or official oharaeter are being worthily reoegmred, the nomination of honest old Allen a. Thurman, who had been hereto fore almost tee honest for tbe reception of much honor at tbe handa of his party oemes In perfect harmony with tbe occasion a picturesque foature that will appeal power fully te tbe rank and file et the Domecraoy, The Knights or Pythias. At the session el the Supreme Ledgo et the Knights et Pythias, In Clnelnnatl, en Friday, a resolution te reduee tbe mini mum of age for admission te tbe Pythian brothorheod from 21 te 18 wasdeleated. An amendment te the constitution wia passed providing tbat no grand ledge shall be established where the Jurisdiction mem bership la leas than MX). A resolution te abolish tbe red cellar was defeated. The supreme ledge adjourned evor until Mon day, te givu tbe oemmittee Investigating tin Pennsylvania treubles tlme te prepare a report St. Leuis petitioned for the next conclave. Omaha guarantees tbe order 1100,000 te meet the expenses of the oenolave if that elty Is seleeted for the place of lbs meeting. The thermemeter en Friday climbed Inte the nineties, but the drilling for the prizes continued. The first prire seems new te be between tbe Kokomo division, or Ko Ke Ko kerao, and the Dearborn division, et Chi Chi fage. One of tbe supreme representatives said that this was the largest gathering In the hlatery et the order. Atnlght a number of the bands from tbe outside contested for a prlre or 1000. The three supreme repre sentatives of Pennsylvania, Messrs. Kline, Sample and Hawkes, say lliey will remain until the treubles are settled, though it takes all next week. Mr. Merris, chairman or tbe oemmittee, says that tbe trouble Is a matter or Pytblan law and that Justice will be done te all, no matter who the parties are. Uaaellaliaamea.
