Th Accused Given a Hen ring By Justice Seltzer and Committed te Prison Fer Trial at the August Sessions, Constable Schuader, of Ephrata town hip, ledged -Wayne Wbltmyer In the county jail en Wednesday aRorneon en a . charge of attempting te wreck a freight train eti the Reading A CeliitnbU railroad near Ephrata. The complaint against him was made by D. K. Morgan, the railroad agent at Ephrata tlatleii, before Justice Seltzer. The eiTcnse was committed shortly before neon. Twe freight trains close together were uerthward bound. After the first passed Whltmycr he placed a railroad It en the track, but it was removed by two men and the wreck of the second train pre vented. These two men were walking en the track towards the creek and when they aH the tie en the tracks Wbltmyer was only a short dlstnnce ahead of them. The' removed the tie and by walktng-raptdly seen caught ip te him. One, eC them In duced Whltuiyer te go te -the creek with him te fish, and the ether made an excuse te go back te Ephrata. His real errand was te tee Constable Schuader and inform him what the buy had done. The' ruse worked and Whjtmycr went te the creek, and was fishing when arrested by the con stable. He admitted his guilt when charged with the effense and Implicated n son of Abe Buzzard In the crime. Inquiry was made by the censtable and he learned that Buz zard had been working nil mornings at threshing and was net away from the ethers employed at the same place. Whit Whit myer was told this and he then said he charged Buzzard with being an accomplice brcause he wanted a companion te share the ienalty with him, and lie selected Buz zard as his party. Justice Seltzer gave the boy a hearing eoen aftet his arrest and in default of bail committed him te the county prison for trial at the August quarter sessions court. Wbltmyer has a bad reputation in the neighborhood. He was formerly un In mate of the Heuse of Refuge where he was sent for his bad conduct. Whitniyer was seen by an Intlluei-n-cer reporter in his cell at the county prison this morning. He said he jvas 19 yours old aud his parents live nenr' the Ephrata Mountain springs ; that he was in the Heuso of Kcfuge at Philadelphia for a year and a-linlf, but was released flve months age. His parents put him there and they had him discharged. Yesterday morning while walking en the railroad track the idea possessed him te wreck a train of cars and he threw the tie en the track vv 1th that intention after the first train passed. When he did it he did net think of the couso ceuso couse quenccs. In conclusion he said that no oue helped him te commit the eircnse. He did it alene and he used young Bazzard's name without any reason, for he had noth ing te de with It. Base Ball Notes, The games played yesteiday wc adelphia 15, New YerkO; Bosten 1 vere: Phil- 12.

The maddest man in town at limes is the driver of the Milleisv llln cui. As is well known, three large buildings are being erected In the first two squares of North Queen street, and the builders arc occupy ing as much room as it Is posslble for thein te get. Iliicks and ethor mateiiul ure piled up along the car track. The great seurce of annoyance te the car man Is the brick haulers. They dump many of their leads either en or very close te the car tracks. At times the driver Is obliged te step for seme time, get out et theraraud threw the bricks from the track. These peeple inside w he aie in a hurry cur-,0 and sw ear, while these who don't care gi e the driver the laugh. Large wagons, with heavy leads for the buildings, also block the tracks, and the let of the car driver is anything but a happy one. Having a Flue Tlme. The Lancaster Piscatorial and Recreation club, new in camp in Sholbley's weeds, along the Conestoga. near Oregon, is hav ing a great time. Yesterday they had a number of visitors from Lancaster, and the callers were handsomely entertained.

Washington Cerr. N. Y, Sun. The Philadelphia clothing house of Wanamaker A Ce. Is, according te a story told by some of the Texas Republicans, again making hay while the sun of a Re- Subllcan administration shlnesupen It. On aturday last Jeseph W. Burke was an pointed Internal revenue collector for the Third Texas district. The manner In which tbe appointment was brought about Is, te say the least, a little peculiar, hs was endorsed for the place by only ene man of prominence In Texas Republican politics. Chairman Degress, of the state commit tee. He has net been prominent In politics, and the leading Republicans of the state have been In some doubt whether he was a Republican or a Democrat. National Committeeman Cuney Brewster, defeated candidate for Cenurcss in the Seventh Texas district, which Includes the Third Internal revenue district, and ether prominent Republicans had endorsed for the place Leck McDunlel, former candidate for Congress In the First district. On . count of the disparity in the backing of the two men, McOanicl's appoiutment was confidently expected by these interested. But Mr. Degress, it seems, knows a trick or two, and two week age he proceeded te playhla last card. Burke runs a clothing store in Austin, and Is a rospectable mer chant, who has the reputation of paying his bills. "Burke," said the astute chairman ene recent day, "it is about time te lay In your fall stock of clothing; where de you buy goods?" "Sometimes in St. Leuis and semctiuics in Chicago," said the merchant. "Well, if I wero you, "was Degress' rejoinder, "I would try Wanamaker A Ce., of Philadelphia. I hear they are a geed firm te deal with. ' Se Mr. Burke took the train te Philadel phia. He bought a nice line of goods for Ills Austin stoie, and made arrangements for a contlnuance of the frieudly relations thus begun. On leaving the store he said te Mr. Rebert Ogden, the business man ager : '.' By the wa-, Mr. Ogdeti, I em a candt candt candt dato.fer the internal revenue collecterslilp ingten I'd llke te make the acquaintance of Mr. Wanamaker, the postmaster-general. " " Certainly, " was Mr. Ogden's prompt respense and he sat down and wrote a let ter te his chief, warmly commending Mr. Burke as n man and merchant Burke eaiuote Washington with the letter, pre pre pre souled It te Wauamaker, and in a few minutes was en his way te the office of the secretary of tbe treasury with a letter or tntioductien from Mr. Wanamaker In bis poclcet. Though the postmaster general had never seen Burke before, ana knew nothing about him. except what his mana ger, Mr. Ogden had written, he com mended Burke te Secretary 'Wlndem as a moral and religions gentleman, a high high high toued merchant, and worthy Republican. That was en Friday. The next day Burke's appointment was announced at the White Heuse. Te say that the Texas Republicans who rolate this Interesting story are indignant at tbe geed merchant from Philadelphia would be a mild statement of the case. SCRANTON'S DOUBLE HORROR.

The air current was geed when tliey began work, but as the caving-in process progressod it gradually forced the iire-damp upon thein until It came in contact with tlicirmlne lamps and pioduced a terrltlc crash. The force of the great explosion was distluctlv felt en the surface, and blew the whistle in the engineer's room at the head heuse.

It Cute, Premest Binds and W nips ClKars With Lightning Rapidity. Frem the Pittsburg Tclfsjraiih. A new cigar-making machine will, in a few days, be Introduced which is expected ten large extent revolutionize this branch of manufacture and make the Inventors Im mensely wealthy. The machine, it has already been demon strut ed te an exceedingly satisfactory de gree by practical tests, will de all the work for which It Is Intended. It will cnt, press, bind and wrap cigars with lightning rapidity, and completes the most fragrant weeds equal te any hand hand lilade. It Is a slmple arrangemeul. The tobacco Is first laid In a tray or feeder, the bottom of which moves automatically, keeping the tobacco up te the cutter something after the fasbleu of a hayentter. The tobacco glides en te a cutting block, where a cigar shaped die or cutter cuts out the tobacco te any size required. It then rolls en te a cylinder, upon which the moulds run llke an endless chain ; the filler drops into these and as this contrivance revolves the moulds tighten until the body Is perfectly formed. The embryo cigar then drops into n V shaped hopper and ene at a tlme they are dropped Inte a- roller which puts en the binder, and from this a hopper, fashioned something like the first, drops the cigar Inte a reller which puts en the wrapper and drops tbe finished artlcle Inte a box, whieh, when filled, Is ready for shipment. The inventor has another machine which completes tbe cigar as far as tbe binder, leaving the wrapper te be put en by hand. He has also discovered a inotbed te pro pre vent tobacco from reswcatlng, a discovery In Itself worth theusaudsf dollars te tobacco dealers. The inventor was offered $35,030 for ene machine of the first kind described, and n Pittsburg firm offered 811,000 for the sec ond. He refused both eilers, however, and has concluded te erect a uigar faitery. The in vontlen will be such a saving e or the present method of manufacturing cigars that the product of the new machines can be sold at practically the cost te ether makers still leaving a handsome profit. Thorp has already been formed a stock company with a capital $100,000, and it Is the Intention te cemmence te make In the neighborhood of 100,000 cigars per day. The onterprlso will give employment te 350 hands. The company had partly decided te locate its factory at Cuyahoga Falls, O,, but It Is understood that ether clties In the state have offered attractive Inducements, and It Is possible that another location will be de tided upon.

His story was that Shenck had nothing te de with the condition of the claim, and that Jehn Bewman called upon him as his at torney and said he wanted the claim pre sented. Bhenck told him he would have nothing te de with the presentation of the claim, but would draw up the paper for him. Tills he did. Jehn Bewman thou took it te Messrs. Miller and Stautfor,ef the Grand Army rollef commtltee,nnd procured their signatures. After the claim was al lowed by the commissioners the veucher was made payable te the erder of Miller and StautTer. Bewman took this voucher te StaufTer and seciired his endorsement, but did net take it te Miller. Lawyer Shenck took it te that member of the com mittee and get him te cndorie it. Shenck admits that he presented it te Iho county treasurer and drew the $35 and claims Hint be paid it all ever te Jehn Bewman. Jehn Bewman corroborates Shenck lu all these particulars. Bewman said last cvenlng that he get all the meney and spout It and that Shenck did net get a penny of II. He did net care who knew he get It and he did net think, it was the In In tellieenceh'h buslness le publish any thing about the matter. R. F. Bewman,' w he was mentioned as having received a part of the money, called at the iNTKt.ueracnu olllce last evenlng lu company with his brother Jehn. Ills statement was that he did net employ Shenck as his attorney and he did net re ceive any pail of Iho $.'!.. Hhcm-k, he says, called upon him and asked him for his father's army discharge, but nothing was said about the use te wlih'h it was te be put. Mr. Slieiick's friends say the publication of the artlcle was Inspired by his political enemies te Injure his chances for the uiy mastcrshlp iu the aimy, for which he is au applicant. They are mistaken. Theso friends wero told Hint the columns of the I.vtki.uei.'.ncku wcre open te him te make any explanation lie deslic-d ill refcreuce le Iho matter. They said that Shenck would net muke any reply because he did nothing wrong lu the transaction. He was, how hew how etr, kept busy all day explaining the part he took Iu obtaining $35 from tiie county truisitry for a claim net centemphiWd by the act of assembly. One Purdencd by the President.

Some Congressmen Angored By Lack of Pntronage Brewor, or North Caro lina, the Lending Mnlceutent. Washington Dispatch te Ledger. Thore have rocently appeared In the paers teperts of utterances by Congress man Brewor, of North Carolina, which In dicated dissatisfaction with the adminis tration en his part en account of net hav ing received the desired share of " pat ronage " for his district, In the bitterness of his disappointment Mr. Brewor Is al leged le have declared n puroee te be an lndoendent candidate for speaker of the Heuso of Representatives, mid le have oxpressod the cemietUii" trial 'he ether 10 represcutntlv es f-eirt Southern statcVMiiltfuppo'i-tueMr. Brewor lain a rebellious state or mind, lu this he Is net singular. Other congressman who have net received from tiie president all they demanded nre lu the same state of mind, and occasionally make declarations of Intention similar te theso ascribed te the Neith Carolina man. These declarations simply Indicate personal discontent, and have no real significance se fur as the or ganization of the Heuso is concerned. Mr. Brewor may be u candidate for speaker, lu the hope that a sum clout number of South ern members will uulte with hlmtoferco the Republicans te give that section cor cer talu " recognition " in the distribution of offices ; but this hepe is chimerical. In such n contest Brewor would net have a slngle follower. He Is net thn kind of man te lend a revolt, even admitting that the tlme Ter revolution Is propltteus. The Southern Republicans will net lead In a re volt nor Jein in a conspiracy te threw the organization nf the Heuso Inte the, hands of Iho Democrats becuue Individuals of their number have net received proper recognition from the president lu the mut ter of olllces. The angry ebullition, there thero thore Tore, of Mr. Brewor is net weithy of con sideration in this connection. There l, however, significance hi such utterances as theso attrlbuled te Mr. Brewor. They ludlcate that Republican members nf Indopcndcnce and courage, whose districts are aflected by kindred In terest, will Insist upon an expression of opinion en Iho part of the Republican eon een cus as te tbe purpesa of the party touching certain questions that will ceme before Congress. Thus the Southern members under the leadership of Heuck, of Ten Ten Ten uessoe) McCeinas, of Maryland, and Wade, of Missouri, who have had large expertence lu the Heuso, and who are men of brains and courage, will In sist thut a Southern man shall be made doerkcoticr, the ofUce te which attaches most of tiie patrounge of the Heuse. This point will net be presented In the form of an lmeratlve demand, accompanied by a threat of revolt, but will be resisted upon with a dogrce of flrmness aud with a strength of appeal that Is likely te prove successful. Brewor Is In full sympathy with this movement, and It Is probnble his recent fultnluatlens wcre made te further It. Many of the Southem members, and a number from ether soctlensof Iho country, will Insist at the outset that a positive de claration shall be made by the Republican caucus upon the question of repealing the Internal revenue laws. The Seuth Is clam orous for repeal, and sent several members te the Fiftv-first Congress en thut issue. One of these is Mr. Eu art, of the Ninth dis trict of North Carolina, who Is new here. Mr. Ewart has nothing te complain of touching bis troatment by tbe administra tion. Speaking of the questions ralsed by Mr. Brewer In his recently pub lished utterances, Mr. Ewart seldi "If Mr. Brewor Is a ' kicker,' he will have te de his kicking alene. Nolther Mr. Chont Chent ham (another North Carolina member) nor myself will render him the slightest assist assist unce lu his threatened candidacy for speaker. All I ask the caucus te de Is te ttame a limn who Is sound en tbe Blair educational bill and the Internal revenue repeal, measures lu which the Seuth is peculiarly and earnestly Interested, and Its uoinlneo shall have my support. I bollevo Mr. McKtulay Is such a man, and I will be for him all the time. If we cannot noml neml noml uale him, then I am ready te support Bur rows or Cannen. " In the oveut of thn caucus nominating a man for speaker w he is against the Blair bill and Intemul revenue repeal, I could net vote for him in thofuceot the pledges I have made my people. The Blair bill should bocemo law. It has been thrice passed by a Republican Senate, and as often strangled In a Dcmocrutie Heuso. Se far as the Internal revenue law 1 con cerned, It Is a wur tax, and, with its iiystem of espionage, spies and Inrermers, Is a disgrace te our statute books, and might long since te have been repealed. It Is a law that bus te be oufeicod In the bleed and sullerlnir of our people, und no Seuthui it Republican ought te support any man for sneaker w he Is lu favor of keep ing this damiiable law upon our statute books. Increase the farllf, if ncccssaryi but down wllh the internal revenue Jaw." The existence el this state of feeling, with puly thrce or four majority en the Republi can side, makes the situation olio or great dclU'ui'v, as well as grcut interest, because It could be used by u few discontented und disappointed men 'le their own advantage. TJiieoer four men llke Mr. Brewer could prevent the Republicans liem organizing Iho Heuse unless their demands should be complied with. Burner belleves that hl'i treatment by the administration has been exceptionally bad, and many disinter ested persens familiar with Iho facts agroe with him. Four years age Brewor was elected iu it district that had for years given seveial thousand Democratic ma ma Jet ity. He made his canvass mainly upon a repeal or the iuterual revenue laws. Although opposed te the Mills bill he voted for thai measure, beciuse It cut down In ternal taxes. The people of North Carolina don't care for reduction of customs dutles, but are united In the I"inand for abolition or Internal taxes. .Mr. Brewer was re elected, notwithstanding ills support ofthe Mills bill. He has the confidence of the poeplo of his dlstrlct.fiml hlsperslstcncofer the repeal or Internal taxes will Insure their continued support, iiiower is the only Re publican who can cuny thu district, and this fact has added te the bitterness of his (IKipjielntincnt at net receiving recognition from ihe administration. Net a slngle re commendation made by him for olllce In his dlstrlf t was accepted by the president. On me contrary men were apiMMinwi m rumu instances who wero his personal enemies. Biewcr charges that the elllces are being distributed by a ring formed fur Hint imr imr pese, and that the ling lias been uldisl here by Messrs. Quay, Dudley and ether out siders who have lnlluonce with the presi dent. Persens who wcre presented bv Brew or, with the endorsement of nearly till the leading men of thedistrict wcre Ignored ami theso selected who were presented by the ring. Instead of being recognized by the president as a Republican representa tive. Brewor feels that lie! has been btu- I dieusly ignored, the ctlect, if net the pur- jiose of such treatment eciug 10 injure iiim w ith his people. Entertaining this feeling, and with a knew ledge that he lias the sup )Kjrt of the ic-opIe or hlH dlstikt, Brew m can allenl te ud IndeiKmdcttt, nud Is de de teimlued toiesent what he regards us bad treatment. It is net likely, however, that he will start u movement te defeat a Re publican organisatien of the Heuse, but upon nil questions which afiect the oxccii exccii oxccii ttve departments, the administration is likely te find Mr. lliecr with the opiKi epiKi bitlun, unless his recommendations receive consideration from the president before Congress convenes.
