At the Manhelni temperanee meeting en Thursday ovenlng there were Ave hundred people gathered In the big tent, and the meeting was addressed by Rer. Kellogg, or Michigan, and L'ltherS, KMiflman, esq , of Lancaster. During the lattei 'a address a Rang of fouryeuog wen were notleed le light a match and reach down toward! the ground and Imuitdlately leare tta tent. Nothing was thought of the Incident at Hie time, but next morning, when the tent was belng eleaned up, a pleee of gasplpa Ova aud a-half Inoh long and three-quarler Inoh bore was found lying en the grans where the young men had been. It waa tightly plngged with a wooden plug at both ends, and In one end was placed a piece of fuse. The temper, ance people wero leth te believe there were In Lancaster county a gang of mlicreanta be black-hearted and devilish as te place a bomb tight In the midst or hundreds of women and ehlldren, and se they regarded the plugged plpe as being only a joke per. petrated by eome Billy young men. But ethors thought It might be well te Investi gate and see whether or net It was a verita ble bomb. Tue pipe was carefully flled oil near the tulddle, and, te the horror of all who saw It, was found te be rilled with gun powder, Inte which the rose reached. It appears te be providential that the fuse, lighted by the weuld-be murderers went out berere It reached the powder. Had the explosion taken place In the tent, the leas of IKe might havo.heen fearful, net only from the Hying pieces of the bomb, but from the rush and crush whleU U sure te fellow any great excitement, especially where a large portion of the audience la oemposed of women and children, A well known citizen learning of the out rage, apoke In this manner : " It Is for the geed poeplo et Manhelm te use all possible efforts te illicit down and bring te punish ment these miscreants, who will net only net tolerato free speech, but attempt te murder Indiscriminately men, women and children who de net belong te their own party. Remember, this did net happen In (Jeplali, Miss., and the Intended vletlms were net colored people ; but It happened In Manhelm, Lancaster county, which Is expoeted te glve Harrison and Morten 11,000 majority." Mr. Kauttman r-trricu aud exhibits the internal maohlne as a temporaneo argu ment; he has also a black jsek that was hurled at him while speaking, and be ex pects te seonre ether relics befere the cam palg i is ever. He says that thus far the Democrats have treated him fairly ; they dlspnte his arguments, of course, but have never ollered him Insult " it la only the low-bred hoodlums, who hang upeu the outskirts of the Republican party, who threw rotten eggs, billies, stones and ether missiles, and atlenipt te blew up llve hun dred people with gunpowder." KXOITKMFNT IN MANHEIM. Manhkp.i, Aug 1S"1 here declare befere Ged, whom I oxpset te meet In judgment, that net pne of these who are conneeiod with this camp had anything te de with placing that bomb In this tent" It was thns that Rer. Kellogg, the speaker at the Prohibition meetings during eaeh eve- nlng, declaimed any connection with the bomb. It had bcen told Mr. Kellogg en .Friday that It was suggested by Bome citi zens that the Prohibitionists tbonuelves placed the bomb there te gain additional sympathy. There la much excitement In the borough and the ene thome of conversation Is "the bomb." It wa3 net suppoaed that anyene could be found dastardly enough te thus endanger life. Tae inleslle was a piece of gas pipe about 6 in eh os long, plugged at both ends with weed and paeked pelldly with powder te the depth of 3 inches, The fuse attached was burned te within shout an Inoh of the pipe. It was found yesterday morning by an attacbe of the tent aud brought te Mr. Kellogg, who thought It a practical Jeke and passed It te nthers. Several of the young men procured a file and carefully filed It epan when ltscontentsand genuineness waa made apparent, and the danger In which hundreds of persons were placed the pre vious evening revealed. The meeting en Thursday evening had been attended by COO or COO person?, and the portion et the tent lu which the bomb waa placed was occupied principally by women and children. Had the bomb ex ploded, the less et life te innocent ehlldren and mothers would have been terrible. Great Indignation Is expresed by the lead ing citizens, both Republicans and Demo crats, and the originator et the diabolical plot will be carefully looked for by these net Identified or In sympathy with the Pro hibition movement, inasmueh as the act la an outrage upon the entire community. The report spread during yesterday that a bomb bad bean found In the Prohibition tent, and It had the eileei or thinning the attendance te an alarming extent. Only about 100 persons were In attendance, and from the manner of these who sat far In the tear, who were constantly en the alert, It was plain that even these could net shake off all fear. The speaker, who Is a bold, coura geous minister et the gospel, was unmoved and gave the best address et all the meet ings. It la te be regretted that any one should se far lese his sense of manhood as te en danger the lives of the ehlldren and wives et bis neighbors and friends. With the exception of ene egg thrown Inte the tent en Wednesday evenlng, the meetings had all been attended by order, and the attend ants et the tent and speaker bad expressed themselves as exceedingly gratified with the polite attention and Interest of the citizens et Manhelm. The bomb Is In possession of Mr. Kellogg, and will be preserved by him, no doubt te be exhibited at fnture meetings aa one of the "arguments" against prohibi tion. Rer.

LOCOMOTIVK KNOINKi:iLS. atea Who Held the Throttle Daring; His Early Dajs et Kallreadlaa; la Kaiiarn PaaeijlTanta. Editors Intklucibxebr : in the Ixtkluciknceh of Saturday, August II, yen reprint a clipping from the Inquirer, la whleh correspondent, writing of Mr. Oliver Paxson," claims him te be, with one xoeptleu, the eldest living locomotive en gineer of the Philadelphia division of the rennsymnia railroad, the exception being Mr. Bayea Smith, et Columbia. In the il'ght of time almost all or the old engineers oenneated with the then Colum bia A. Philadelphia railroad have passed way, and aueh names as Jehn Wllhelm, Jehn Franciseu-, Isaaa Finkbine, Edward ivauiz, aamuel White, Jehn and Augustus Peters, no mere represent living embodi ments, but exist only In our memories. In 1843 Hayes Smith waa fireman, end In 1846 he had an engine, while among the fire men en reoerd In May, 1840, we find the namcaetO. a Paxson, WIUIamF. Leckard, James Armstrong, and Samuel Kurtz, all but the last two still living. But all the engineers who were In service prier te the time that Hsyes Smith grasped the threttle have net passed away. Of tbetbreobrethera ADranam, Augustus and Jehn Pelen, who were connected with the read In the begin ning of the fortle, Abraham yet remains amongst us. Abraham Pelen was born October, 1811, and Is, therefore, nearly 77 years of age. His connection with locomotive engineer ing began early somewhere between 1835 'and 1838, but alter aome years he quit the read and started In the grocery business. His ventures In life were successful, and be Is new resting In retirement among his relatives In Paradise and Strasburg, death having removed his wife and chlldren. It wenld be a matter of no surprlse If upon Investigation It wenld appear that Mr. Pelen was net only the oarllestef the new living oaglnesraef the Pennsylvania rail read, but alas In the United States. Anether of the old oagineera Is Mahlen H. Mereer, who was born In Ohestercennty in 1810. He was connected with the old Columbia it Philadelphia read before any ground was broken between the planes at Columbia and the planes at Philadelphia, being attached te the engineer corps laying out the read eastward from Columbia. After the read was finished he had charge of a section at Parkesbnrg, but a change In the state administration neeessltated his migrating, and he took held of a section above Dillervllle en the Harrisbnrg rail read, of whleh James Cameren, biether of SImcn Cameren, was superintendent, lie remained with this read until after Perter waa eloeted governor. Cameren was then appolnted superintendent of the Columbia A Philadelphia railroad, and he offered Mr, Mercer a position In the new field, whleh waa accepted and resulted in his gettlng an engine In 1330. In the early days of engine driving, the engineers and ilremcn were exposed te all kinds of weatber, thore being no cat te the engines. Desiring seme shelter Mr. Mercer obtained permission te build a cab en his engine. This work was done by James Armstrong, recently deceased, who waa his fireman, and who was also an expert carpsnter.and Peter Klmberg (who la still living In Columbia), state blacksmith at Parkesbnrg. That waa the second cab put en a locomotive en the Columbia & Philadelphia read. In these days there was net mneh running dene at night, and what littte wai done was at tempted In faith, rntent en obviating as much as possible the state of uneertalnlty and anxiety which attonded nlghtrunnlng, Mr. Met cer, with censent of Edwin Jeffries, get up a sort of head light, which was nothing but a number et small mirrors aet at dlflorent angles te concentrate the light of candles, the tlme being prier te coal oil or gas. It was the first headlight and very prlmltlve, throwing a light along the traek only about fifty yards, hut It beat nothing all te pleoea. Mr. Mercer held his position about nlne years, when he resigned te take cbarge of the onglne at the Oonestega cotton mills, In this city, where he remained fur fifteen years. He held a position In Nerrls' locomotive works, and for several years waa engineer at the water works. Fiftoen yeara age he accepted the position he new holds at the pumping station of the Pennsylvania rail road at Lcaman Place.

Ne, We avorage In our factory (2 75 a day te eaeh man, Lewor duties acd wider markets won't reduce the wages of our help, but will certainly tend te ralse them and surely Incroase the purchasing pewer et a day's pay. I regard the Mills bill aa a very conservative incisure. I wonder that the dutles were net reduced mero. I will say that In my own buslness the passage et the Mills bill will notreduce the wages of my help, but In my Judgment will tend te ralse them, Further than that I bolleve It will be a com mon benefit te the peeple of this country," The Chicago Tribune makes a fiorce at tack npen Blalne concluding as follews: "Se long as excessive dutles are main tained these trade rings will be enabled te bleed the public Reduce these duties te a decent, reasenable figure and they will be smashed.
