A very clever arrest of young man who haa been stealing moneyfrem letters which came through the mall, waa made here this morning at the Instance of a United State officer who had been working en the cane for aotne time part. The nameef the party arrested Is Charles Wambaugb, a "very respectable looking boy about six teen years of age. Fer two years past the boy has been em ployed In the book Btere of Ij.tB. Herr, en North Queen street. Mr. Herr has a very extensive business correspondence and re eelves at times as many as sixty letters per day. Wambaugh waa employed about the store, and part of his duty was te go te the postefflce several times each day and get the mall, lie carried the key te the lock-box of Mr. Herr and could get the mall whenever he saw fit. About July last Mr. Herr began te miss small sums of money which had been sent te him through mall. Different parties wrote te him tell ing him that they had sent money and Mr. Herr thought Itvery strange that he did net receive It. 11m, wrote te the depart ment at 'Washington, complaining about the matter. He did net suspect his boy at first and the matter seemed te be shrouded in mystery. The postefllce men "went te work en the cose and of late suspicion pointed te the boy. Mr. Herr made in quiry and found that he was spending mere inoney than he was coming by hon estly Henry D. Parham, a postefllce In spector in the employ of the government. who hed been given the case In charge, came here yesterday. He and Mr. Herr ' had a conference and it was resolved te try and catch the thief by means of decoy letters. Mr. Parham fixed up four letters. In each of two of these he placed a silver half dollar, In a third a sliver quarter, and in tbe fourth a one dollar note. He marked all of the money se that he could identify it. On each of the sliver pieces he scratched a cress and made a similar mark in lead pencil en the " 1 f of the bill. These letters were given by the inspector te assistant Postmaster Marshall, who placed them in Mr. Herr's box. This morning young Wambaugh went te the postefllce and get the mail as usual. He took it te the store and turned it ever te Mr. Herr, but the lottery that the Inspector had fixed were tint In the let When Mr. Parham found that he did net turn theso ever he went for Officer Helsse who took the boy into custody. A search of his per son was made ami every piece of the marked money was found upon htm. The letters were net found and It is sup posed that he destroyed them at once, after taking their contents. Wambaugh was very cool and tried te uppear unconcerned. He had nothing te say of any consequenco, and he was taken te the station house, where he was kept for some time. At 0 o'clock he was taken before Alderman Deeu where he was heard en a charge of larceny. The evldence of Mr. Herr and the Inspector was heard and the young man was held in bail for trial at court. The case is net one of robbing the malls tut is of simple larceny, as the boy was authorized te get the mall which he afterwards stelo from. The case will net be tried in United States court but in the county quarter sessions. Mr Herr is unable te tbll exactly hew much money he lest, Jt was $10 or $50 at least and may liave been much mere. ' Yeung Wambaugh comes from a very respectable family and is bis parent's only child. They are greatly grloved evor the affair and cannot account for it. The boy was given whatover he wanted at home and could always have money by asking for It. At home money was kept lying around very loosely, but none- of "it was ever taken by the boy. fbezen te dkatiiix Kansas. Suventoen Pet-sous Are Reported te Hnve Perished In a Blizzard.

TUESDAY rtiX CHASK. A Large Crowd at araesre Landtag. The Fex SasHy Caught. The fox ebaee at Pet? a hotel, GreeTTa landing, took place ea Taesday afternoon, the eUendaaee waa very large, people from all ever tha city being preseaC In the number were aeme hunter bat the same lively apert did set eeem te be manifested aa In many ether rami, The place la a rather peer one te'drap a fox aa K la attaated very low. Fer that reason it waa given out that the fox would be dropped en the south aide of the creek. The era wd rushed aereee the bridge and all the aurreandlng hlila were covered with people. Among them were a large number of ladles. The crowd contained the nasal number of inquisitive man and boys who were willing te de anything te aae a chase, i Many of these took their position along the turnpike between the Ooneatega bridge and the tell gate. Hera they waited pa tiently for the fox and every body that drove by waa stepped" In hopes that the mob might get a leek at the fox. Finally about three o'clock Johnny Cherry came driving out from tha hotel at a high rate of apeed. Ihhlseenpe were two men who hadthefex. Thaboyswerenotlonglnflnd Thabeyswerenotlonglnflnd Thaboyswerenetlonglnflnd Ing this out and they ran after the couple like a let of wild men. Cherry drove fast In order te get out of their way and did net atop nntil he reached a point south of the turnpike, en a hill In Hen's field. The fox was dropped by Jehn Myers, of White Oak, and he took an .easterly course keep ing close along the hills en the south aide of the creek. The riders, Instead of wait ing until the dogs were started, went at once In pursuit of the fox. They took te the fields and ran the animal well by sight. The result was that they cap tured the animal before the hounds were started. He was taken In a pile of pests near the old City mill and a young man named Brackblll, of Landls Valley, secured him. Jehn Myers was at the pest pile at the same time. -The dogs were held for thirty minutes and there was some difficulty getting them upon the trail for a time. When they took it they ran evor the track of the fox but found nothing for their pains. The fox was a rather peer one for chasing purposes, aa he was inclined te be tame. It la but little wonder that be would net run, aa he waa caught last summer and waa penned up ever since, except upon the day he run at Greenland. Among the attendants at the fox chate was Jacob Balr, the well known hunter of Wllllamstewn. He was near the place where the fox was caught at the time. He had his horse hitched in a deg cart and tled him te a barn near by. When the dogs came tbe horse became excited and tere loose from the barn. He ran down te a quarry near by and jumped or fell down an embankment ten or fifteen feet In height. Tbe horse was badly cut and bruised aud the harness was tern te pieces. WILL DIVIDE a 1,000,000. The American Helm of a Carman Baren In Great Liiclc. Frem the BU Leuis Republic. There has been interest lately in Macen and ether sections of the Missouri ever the rumored inheritance from Germany of $51,000,000, the supposed heirs te which re sides In Jacksen, Shelby, Saline and Charl ton counties, and ether places in Miseeuri and Texas. Among them are U. W. Burma and M. P. Bell, of Trlplett, Me. The former ,Jias lately been looking up his interests in Missouri and "Kentucky. Frem him the following Is learned: He had seven brothers and sister. The mother of these eight children was Mary K. Bell, whose maiden name was Slaughter. Her grandfather was Stephen Fischer. He was a son of a rich cltlzen of Wurtemburg, Germany, and was com pelled te flee te this country because he yielded te an Irresistible Impulse te sheet a deer which crossed his path in one of the royal gardens. Fischer settled In northern New Yerk, and reared a family of six clUldren, three girls and three boys, one of whom was Stephen Fischer. He leaving Germany as he did, seldom wrote te bis relatives there. In the meantime, his father, Herman Ven Fischer, a baron, dled, leaving $600, 000 te his helrs In America. They could net be found, and the money was leaned te the German government at 0 per cent, compound interest for fifty years. This made an immense sum. At the end of that time it was unclaimed, the Interest was stepped and the helrs worn again adver tised for. It was many years before the heirs undertook te regain their property. Last year a German lawyer agreed te take the case for 2 per cent, of all the sums dis tributed. Frem that time en the case has been rapidly worked toward a speedy solu tion. It is new thought the entire $51,000, 000 will be ready for dlstribtlen in a very few months. The German lawyer has cabled that the money is ready for distribution as seen aa the heirs can prove their lineage. M. Ludwlg von Multke, the emperor's attorney, has come te America te investi gate the matter. He visited Danville, Ky., and Culpepper, Va., where some of the heirs live, and many of the papers relating te the matter are of record. He said be was much Impressed with the strength of the proof presented by the claimants. Almest Struck by a Train. I-ast evening a white girl named Shenk, .who bears avery bad reputation, a colored girl and a young darkey boy, made a nar row escape from being killed. They were standing en the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad under the Duke street bridge. They were busily engaged talking and at the time a freight train was passing East. They did net tiotice the approach of Har risburg Accommodation, which is due here at 6:30 from the East. The engineer saw thorn In time te save their lives, how ever, as he stepped the train.

Til NUN IF NtECTflS CLA11EI T If ILLUiLLT ILECTII. The Law Beqntrea Stock te Be Traae farrad Sixty Daya Prier te Elec tion, Which Waa Net Dene. If Mayer Edgerley approves Ihe ordi nance giving the Lancaster City and East End Street railways or their successors (the Mew Yerk syndicate) the privilege or the city atreaU for the electrie railway, It cannot be accepted by the beard of direc tors of these railways, who were elected en Monday. The act of assembly nnder which these railways were charteredprevldes among ether thlnga that "at all elections by tha atoekholdera, each share of stock shall en title the bolder te one vote, and such ballet shall have endorsed thereon the number of shares thereby represented, but no share or shares transferred within sixty daya next preceding any election shall entitle thoheldorsto vote at any such election, nerahall any proxy be recelved or entltle the holder te vote, unless the same shall bear date and have been duly executed within three months next preceding such election." At the meeting of the above named atreet railway companies, the stock voted in tha interest of the New Yerk ayudicate, had only been transferred en the morning of the day of the election. It is a fact beyond contradiction that sixty days prier te the 13th of January there was no such arrange ment dreamed of as an electrie railway by the parties who sold their Interests te the New Yerk syndicate. Seme of the stockholders who had net transferred their stock and who went te the meeting en Monday night protested against the stock that was transferred te the syndicate being voted, but they were promptly overruled and the election pro ceeded under the direction of the New Yerk syndicate's officers. WITHOUT WIBE3 OB POLES. Werk of a Newly Patented Street Car Moter and Sterage Battery. J. F. McLaughlin's eloctrle street car. in which Senater MaeFarland, Geergo F. Werk and President Pfelffer, of the bank of America, have a prominent interest, en Tuesday night mode an experimental trip from tee depot at Eighth apd Dauphin streets, Philadelphia, te Wayne Junction and return. The horseless car and olectric headlight attracted great attention. Inventor MeLaughlln put his left band en the little olectric meter handle and his right hand en the long grip te connect wheels te meter and started the car out of the depot at 7:35 o'clock. A rapid run was made up Germantown avenue and the street car ahead waa seen overtaken. The party en beard meanwhile watcbel critically every action. There were Assis tant District Atterney W. W. Ker, Electri cian Charles M. Knapp, Jehn Yoe, master mechanic of the railroad ; Jehn L. Trestes, E. K. Weed, olthe Street Jlailway Journal, and Wilsen R. Ker. Mrs. MeLaughlln and Mrs. Knapp also aocemDanied the party. The car ran wlth'perfect ease ever all the hills met with, even Negley's hill. In the middle of Negley's hill, en which every electric car heretofore stuck, there Is a switch by which the car took the track home. Half a dozen times the unused switch would net catch the flange of the wheels and se many times en the stoepest part of the hill the car ran up and backed below the switch, putting the meter te the hardest posslble test. Sometimes the wheels would slip and whirl en the track. What the possibilities of climbing that hill In icy weather might have bean, could only be guessed by comparison with steam dummies and the like. However, the electrie meter showed no lack of power, but whirled the two wheels with which It was connected under the weight of the nearly six-ten car. There was great danger in handling the eloctrle meter In many reversals en the steep hill, for a mistake turning the levor before the armature settled has burned out many an armature like a flash. The re turn run te the depot was made in less than the street car schedule time, counting also two steps. Only three steps were made en the trip. They wero due te a screeching het journal, which was stated te reflect net the least upon the car. Thore was some trouble with the over-hoatod and fire-spitting commutater, but that was enlv an uncommon and easily remedied fault of the meter. The sterage battery, which consists of 02 cells along the seats of the car, gave every evidence of having a plentiful supply -of electricity, and upon the return te tbe depot the indicator showed but a little less of voltage. The charge was sufficient, Mr. McLaughlin stated, te make several mere trips of that length. By charging the bat teries with 50 ampores four hours and a half, he could get nlne hours' work out of his car with a full lead of passengers. The merit of tbe cells Is in the construction like a trusi, wLh tubes and plates se fastoned te prevent " buckling" warping under al most any current. The gearing grip or "regulator," which starts the car without a jar, worked with perfect satisfaction. Mr. McLaughlin claims te save 45 per cent, of electric force by starting his meter alone and then con necting tbe wbeels of the car te It. Fer bis cells he claims the peculiar power of showing a large amporage without show ing any voltage that can be detected by the best meters. The practical results of the trip were te convince the party that they wilt (get en the electrie car and ride te Germantown and back without the slightest fear of be ing left somewhero along the read te wulk home. Conspiracy und False Pretense. Jacob W and Samuel Dlehm wero heard by Alderuian Hal bach en Tuesday, en charges of conspiracy aud false pretense. Samuel Esbleman, of Penn township was the prosecutor. Ills testimony was that he endorsed a note for $350, with the under standing that the proceeds wero te be used in the purchase of cells. Instead of doing se the money realized from the discount of the nole was used by Jacob W. Dlehm te pay a claim he owed lid ward II. Kauffinan. The alderman decided that no conspiracy had been proven and that Samuel Dlehm bad made no false representations. Theso complaints were dismissed and Jacob W. Dlehm was required te give bail for trial at the January sessions. William I). Weaver appeared for the prosecution and D. McMullen and O. P. Brlcker for the defendants. Fer the Soup Fund.

Popular Dissatisfaction With the Settle ment or the Dispute. The demonstrations of students contlnue te keep Lisben unquiet. On Tuesday they veiled the statues of Old Portuguese Navi gators around the Cameens menument as a sign of national mourning. The crowd looked en with sympathy and shouted : " Down with England 1 " " Down with the pirates 1" General Vasco G nodes, governor of the Indies, has been appointed mlnlsforef war, and will come home at once. A howling mob of students and ethers burned an English flag at Coltnera. At Oporto it Is proposed te start a fund te purchase an iron-clad. A dispatch from Paris says a Portuguese frentleman holding n diplomat ie position ere, but a strong Republican, has rocelved a lotter from Lisben, written bofero the crisis new prevailing there, which throws light en the ovents which led te it. The writer says the Republicans of all shades of opinion recently held ameetlugat which n resolution was unanimously adopted declaring that net ene jet of Portugal's rights or territory in Africa should be ceded te England. A petition was drawn up and presented te King Carles urging him te maintain a firm attitude, and In forming him that a union had been effected throughout the kingdom betwoen Repub licans and Monarchists te oppose any agreement with England that would com promise the Interests and the honor of Portugal. Reply was made en behalf of the King that Portugal was net In a position te go te war with England, and that it would be better te make a peaceful aettlement, even though concession was made, se long as honor was maintained. This brought forth an answer from tbe Republicans warning the King that any concession whatover would be fatal te the monarchy. The writer of the letter states that the Republican party was never stronger in Portugal than It Is new. It has 97 associa tions, containing in all 18,000 active mom mem bers. Among its distinguished members are Latine Coelho, secretary of the aca demy of sciences and member of the certes for Lisben; Redriguez Freltas, Journalist and member of the certes; Senhor Brage, and ethor gontlemen who were ence sup porters oftlie monarchy.

Hew Friends Of President Harrison Have Fared, And the Prosperity Of These Who Und Faith In Quay. A correspondent of Wharten Barken A mrii'can of last Saturday has the following te say, dated Harrisburg under the caption " The President and Pennsylvania Repub licans : I And. In mingling with Republican politicians of the state, a very general ex pression of surprlse at the manner In which President Harrison baa rewarded his oppo nents and estracised his former friends. J Such expression is by no means confined ve mose wnoare in me latter class: it may be heard, often, among the followers of Mr. Quay, who however, they may enley the sunsntne shed upon them, cannot help remarking that It is vastly mere than they had feared they might get when their chiefs schemes proved se poorly con structed, at Chicago. After having thought that their political fortunes wero com pletely wrecked, they are the mere grati fied te find that the admlutstratleu has surrendered Itself te thein. It does net appear that any fermer friend of Mr. Harrison, any ene who had holped him te the prominence which the Chicago nomination Increased and crowned, has been treated otherwiso, in Pennsylvania, than with neglect and prescription. What Wnrner Miller has exnorlencod In New Yerk, has been the exporleuco of men in this state, whose labors wero for Harrison. Yeu will prefer, no doubt, that I should net allude te the work of the American for several years preceding 1888; but there is net anv ene who is well Informed concern ing political affairs who dees net jraognlze your determined advocacy of Mr. Harrison as among the potential lnfluonces which raised him from comparative ob scurity. This much I hepe you will permit me te say. If we ceme, then, te consider thodelegatos from l'oiin l'eiin s 1 vanla who voted for Harrison et Chicago, the record Is very curious. In Plttsbura his only friends were "Chris. " Magee and his colleagues, Fllnn, Ven Bonnherst, and ethers, who defied Quay's pressure, and, at a critical moment in the balloting, sup ported the Indiana candidate Mr. Mageo has had no consideration from the presl dent. Even when supported by Mr. Dal- zell, the congressman from that district, he I could net provent the appointment of a I postmestor wne, it is wen unuorsieoii, is te use the places In the postelllco te crush dht his Magee's political influence If he and his associate delegates hud been persistent onetnlos of Mr. Harrison, they could net have been treated mere vigor ously. The cose In Lancaster county is similar, and It attracts much attention. The dele gates from that county (composing tbe 10th congressional district), were two plain, solid buslness men, who had been chosen unanimously by the different faotlens of the party, and who were therefore Inde pendent enough te doclde for thomselvos whom they proferrod as a candidate. On se veral of the early ballets they veted for Harrison, helping te make for him a body of supporters whose strength was sufficient te break tbe demnnd or Mr. Quay for u "unit" vote. Yet the manner in w filch the administration has treated theso gentlemen Is very netable. Wheever else has been considered In Lancaster county, thesohave net been. Mr. Quay's followers thore are well rewarded, but fhose who wero the the friends of Mr. Harrison are net eyen respectfully consulted. The case of Captain Walten, of Chester county, Is still better known. Mr. Quay has apparently prevonted htm from ob taining the unimportant Federal appoint ment which he sought, mid the president seems te forget that Walters voted for his nomination en every ballet at Chicago, and en the seventh had tbe boldness te challenge successfully Mr. Quay's an nouncement of the standing of the delega tion. Of all theso who represented Penn sylvania in that convention nene steed up for Harrison mere doterniinedly, and only ene or two, (Captain Jehnsen, of Media, ids colleague from the Clh district, was ene. I think), took the same course of ,vetlng for him from first te last. Captain waiters is a young man or me niguesi character, a geed education (he graduated at Iafayette), a clean record, and oxcellont abilities, and why General Harrison was unwilling te let him have the place he wanted must apparently be explained en the same general princtple which seems te have appliod'te the ethor cases. On the ether hand, the favor shown te Senater Quay Is remarkable. Net evon the regard paid by Mr. Arthur te Senater Cameren In 1881-8J, (until the disasters of that year gave blm a better understanding of the situation), can exceed the pewer which the president puts In Mr. Quay's hands by means of the appointments. The Pittsburg postelllco Is oue example. The Lancaster county collectorshlp is auolher. S. M. Frldy, who has been given this place, was long known as a.scrvfle hench man of Quay, and Mr. Cauioreu, knowing this, still was ferced te consent te the ap pointment. At Chicago Mr. Quay's utmost efforts were directed te the defeat of General Harrison : wheever might win, he wanted above all te sue him wersted : and te the last, as theso who were lu the delegation will knew, he exerted every art of persuasion, cajolery, threat, and deception, te precnt the break which was half a dezen times en the point of taking place. Se bitter was the lee! lug with which he inspired his fol lowers that Gllkosen, of the 7th district, new In the treasury department at Wash ington, announced during the centest that if they left Hherinau he proposed te vete for Judge Gresham, whose candidacy It was well known, was most rcsonted by tbe Harrison men. Yet Quay get a place from the Proshlent for Gllkosen among the first things he did. That the state should foci sonie surprise at this reversal of the ordinary ceurse of human affairs seems te the writer very natural. Was thore ever such a case be be bo eoro, In which a President se warmly took up with his onemlcH, and se coldly set aside his supperters? Secretary Wlndem's Cull for IIeikIh.

The hasty manner In which the bills In creasing the terme of constables and as sessors from one year te three years were pawd through the last Legislature In the SId!?i-'y"0Vh0 .,7,"?,ou nM lted net pf the censtab es elected last year, but fur- Nirfa5V2?l??,ll(m ,nte th0 .IHlllter discloses the fact that there are equally Important do de fecta In the assessors' bills, and that re medial legislation will be necessary te straighten the matter out and te determine the status of certain assessors, who have been either elected or appointed under the prevision of the act. In some of the coun ties or the state the common picas Judges Interested themsel ves In the matter aa seen as the acts were passed, and act te work separating boroughs from the election dis tricts or the townships In which they were situated, but In ethor counties little was done, and Uie Impression still prevails that In certain instances the old oQlces of as sessor and assistant assessor remain, The trotible about the assessors arises aa follews: Net only was the aet te autbnrlze the election of constables for three years approved en the 14th of February, 1889. (pamphlAt laws, page 0.) only five days before the spring olectlon, but en the same Hth or February, 1889, the act te authorize the election of assessors for three years was also approved, (pamphlet laws, page 7.) and this lotter act may also nced te be construed by the courts. Under it the sailing Is plain enough In bor oughs, wards and In townships net divided Inte election dUtricta, but net se In town ships which are divided Inte eloetlon dis tricts. The aet required the qualified voters of each election district te elect en the 10th day of February, 1880, and Irlon Irlen nlally thereafter, an aasosser for aald elec tion district te sorve fe'r threo years, and te ln.ii , '"""""" -"' r'K"inueii assessor. .una iw in express werua ropealod all laws Inconsistent with it, and. or ceurse, repealed the law or 1874 which provided for the annual election lu each eloetlon dis trict of a registration assessor. At the last spring olectlon assessors wero elected In each election district. Then, en the following 8th day of May, the law was umonded (pamphlet lows, page 133) se that assessors wero net te be In olectlon districts, but only lu wards, boroughs and townships. This act was simply, amendatnry, and did net repeal anything, New no olectlon for assessors can "bejiad until "the third Tuesday or February, 16DiVJii)tlI then each olectlon district .must have Its own assessor vr vim-nun vi uppuuuiiieui, anu mis nlAftllnn illfctIM auiMn.. I r M.I.IUH.. and valuation. But at the spring election of 1802 assessors will net iMtalnetad In i. tien districts at all. One person will be olectod assessor for the whole township for three years, and he will be both valuation and registration assessor. Thore will be no registration assessor olectod in and for an election district, and thore will be no vacancy In the oflleo for there Is no such ofllee, If this be se, the "valua tion assessor efa township which, for ex ample, has four olectlon districts, will en and after 1893 be the only registration as sessor for the whole, aud inasmuch as he must by law sit at the polling place of each one of the election districts during the last two daya of registration, rrem 10 te 3 and from 0 te D o'clock, he will have te quarter himself, end thou thore will net be a whele registration nssosser at each polling place as the law seems te contemplate. Ir the law remains as It Is thore will be a lively time gettlng the vete In. slnce every voter will have te be sworn bofero the eloetlon beard. The act of May 8, 1881).. was evidently In tended te romedy the dofects of the act of February Hth ofthe same year, but when tbe two acts are reed togetbor thore la net only serious doubt as te the existence of registration assessors in election dlstrlets aftorthe terms of the present officers ox ex ox plre, but the further quostleu arlses as te whether the ofllee of assistant tilennlal as sessors still exlsts in election districts. THIS CON8TABLESTKHMS. The City Men Must Be Ho-elootoil This Year County OfBoers Held Over. Thore seems te be a difference or opinion ill regard te tbe time for which the con stables ofthe city and county were olectod last spring. The law is very plain In the matter, howevor, and the constables of the township and boroughs will held evor for two years mere. The act governing them was passed by the last Loglslature, and sec tion one of It reads as follews: "Belt onacted etc., that the qualified veters of every borough and township, and when a borough isdivlded into wards, of every ward, lu the commonwealth or Pennsylvania, shall en the third Tuesday or February next and triennlally thereafter, vete for and elect n properly quallilnd per son for censtable In each of said districts, who shall serve for threo years." This act waa approved en February II, 1889, which was Iof0re the last election, se that thore is no doubt that the constables wero then elected for three years. The ether act, section 1st. says : " Be It onacted, etc, That the qualified veters of each ward In cities of the second and third classes shall en the third Tuesday of Feb ruary next, and trlennlally thoreafter, elect n properly qualllled person for censtable In each of said wardswheshallserve for three years. .Whenover a constable shall be ap pointed by the court, as provided by exist ing laws, tbe censtable se appointed shall serve for the unexplred term." This act was approved by the governor en May 4th 1889. The coming olectlon will be the first olectlon for ward officers slnce Its passage and constables chosen last spring will only held for ene year. New offlcers will have te be elected Tuesday February 18th, In this clly only. TBLKGHAPIIIC TAP.. Without important action the Iowa Sen ate ndjourne'i till Thursday aflorneon.
