Via Spert Jfer a Large Number or Iltuiters and Deg The Chase Begin at Murr Hetel at Millport. One of the best fox hunt of the season leek place at the hotel of William Murr, nt Millport, en the Strasburg turnpike, about three miles from town, en Tuesday after noon. The weather was splendid and could net have been better had It been manufac tured for the occasion. The event brought quite a number of hunters together from dlfTerenfsecMens, and Lancaster city was Tery well represented. Among the large number of hunters wero the following, who are well-known : Jacob Hair, Williams town; Jacob Ratter, Gap; Sbaeffer Worst, Spring Garden ; Milten Re6p, Green Tree j Harry Skllcs, Mount Vernen; Jehn and Ben Myers, of White Oak; W. W. Gresli, Keftavllle; Messrs. Bard and Muller, of Oregon, and ethers. ' Alter dinner seme time was spent by the hunters looking ever the route which they supposed reyuard would take, discus sing the dogs, horses, c It was 4 o'clock before the fox wasdropped and a beautiful specimen he was. He had been recently caught by Milten Reed, who assured the crowd that they would find him plenty wild enough. In this he. was net mistaken. The animal was drenned by Jacob Rutter, who carried htm across the brldge, and let lilm go in a field, near the tell gote en tlie west side of the turnpike, and net far from Mill creek. The fox at ence took te -iila heels and made a beautiful run through a grass meadow, from that Inte a cornfield and thence through a wheat field. He was then going in a southerly direction, but a team that put in an appoarance In a read near that place seemed te turn him nnd he Btarted te go towards the northwest and west. It was a half hour before the dogs, about fifty In number, wero started. Although they wero put en the trail in geed shape by Mr. Rutter they did net keep It long. They turned completely around after a tlme and ran about near the hotel for a considerable length of tlme. They finally took the trail and kept It until they had given the fox u geed chase and killed him. Tlie fox swam Mill creek about a half mlle from the hotel and he kept oleso te the creek for a long time. Hew often the fox cressed the stream Is net known, but the hunters think it must have been four or five times. Notwithstanding this the dogs hung te the trail. The fox kept along the creek until he reached GrelPs mill, en the Willow street turnpike, about two and a half miles south of town. He was then en the south side, but he again cressed the creek and started towards town. By this tlme the hunters wero after him In het pursuit, and se were the dogs. The fox ran te a point about 200 yards nbeve the Graefi'a Landing bridge, where he swam the Conesieg, .ITe ,tben started up the steep-hill keeping in the direction of Lan caster. -. He seemed te be losing ground, however, which was no doubt owing te sev eral wettings that he received. He managed t" get as far as the residence of ex-Mayer Morten, where he crawled into a let which was surrounded, en three sides, by a high fence of pilings. The dogs wero upon him In a, short tlme and befere the hunters arrived ihey had tern htm te pieces. The first hunter, en the ground was W. W. Gresli, who secured the brush. The fox might have ran into town hed he been able te get out of the let readily. After the fox had been killed the hunters te thonumber of a-dozen or mere rode up Seuth Queen street with their dogs and they created a great deal of excitement. Ah most of them live In the Lostern section of tli9 county they also rode out King street, much te the delight of the small boy. All present at the chase unlte in pronouncing it ene of the finest they have ever seen. Slight! Tire at Conowage. The commissary and olllce of McMauus A Rellly, contractors, at Conowage, which Is In charge of Harry C. Druckcmlller, was almost destroyed by tire last evenlng, Mr. DruckemiUer had made a new fire In the' stove seme tlme befere and the reef either caught1 from the pipe that runs through it or fro ni a spark. It was considerably dam aged, but the less would have been much greater bad the tire occurred later at night. The tire department In the employ of the contractors, consisting of btoue cutters and colerod men, seen had the fire under control by using buckets of water, but a pretty .big hole was burned in the reef. One colored man, named James King, made a narrow escape from fulling off the reef. Some of the goods In the store are damaged by water, but " Drucky " says that he does net think It will be nec essary te ship them te Lancaster and make a CO days sale of thorn.

It I'asses the Senate What Pennsyl vania Will Rocelve.

Mr. Sherman stated that It was exactly the same, word for word, as the one which Eassed the last Congress. Mr. Vest and Mr. lerry both declared opposition te the measure. The bill passed the Senate by a vote of forty-four te seven. These voting against It wero Messrs. Berry, Call, Coxe. ance and Vest, Democrats, and Blair and Plumb, Republicans. The hill makes It the duty of the secre tary of the treasury te credit te each state and territory n sum equal te all collections made from the states and territories under the act of Congress approved August 6, 1801. There Is no doubt that the bill will Gs the Heuse, and there Is no reason te leve that it will encounter a veto from Presldent Harrison. In the last Congress, after the bill had been vetoed by President Cleveland, en constitutional grounds, it was passed again by the Senate, but Its consideration In the I Ien se was provented by objection. Under the bill the total amount te be re turned te the various states will be (15,227, 632.03.

Cave, one of the most elenuent and leading mlnisters of the gos pel in St. Leuis, is the leader of a new de parture that will cause a national sensa tion In roligleus circles. He was pastor of the Central Christian church,, the "wealth iest fleck of followers of Aloxander Camp bell In that city. He prcached a sermon denying the In spiration of the Old Testamant. This caused comment. Other sermons followed In which he denounced all creeds and for mulas us relics of barbarism. This caused a split In his church and he resigned. Half his fleck followed him and the West End Christian church was organized three weeks ageand they have worshipped in a rented hall, meantime taking steps te build a magnificent temple of worship. The doctor has been denounced by the organ of the church and Campbellite proacheis all ever the ceuutry have thundered at him. Sunday he announced that as the press and pulpit bad formally read him out of the denomination there was nothing for him todebuttorosign his past orate. The congregation were unanimously resolved that they would fellow him, and It was formally resolved that as they were organized under the state law and had thelr right te exist as a religious body from the state, and net from any church, they owed no allegiance te anybody but Ged, the state and themselves and then organ ized as an Independent church, with Dr. Cave, who has been the acknowledged leader of bis denomination, as pastor. Uaes of Electricity. The Increase in tlie use of electric lights and olectric meters is shown by the AVec trical ICurii te have been greater during the past few years than most peeple im agine. "The number of olectric lighting cempanlcsln the United States and Canada eperating ceutral stations at the beginning of lase was 450. This number had in creased at the beginning of 1889 te nearly 1,200, and at tlie beginning of 1890 te 1,277, including 25 In Mexico and Central Amerlca. Mcautime 201 gas companies had engaged in electric lighting, se that the total nu inner ei compauies engaged in olectric lighting at present is 1,513. The number of lsolateu or private iucau iucau descent and are light plants at the begin ning of 1887 was about 2,000. New there are 3.925 prlvate plants In the U nl ted States. 175 lit Canada and 200 la Mexico and Central America, making 4,300 in all. The number of arc lamps in use In 1882 was 6,000. This number doubled each year, for four years, and has since grew n rapidly until there are new 235,000 are lamps In use. The number of incandescent lights has increased from 525,000 In November, 1880, te 3.000,000 at present. The number of electric meters new in operation in the country Is estimated at 15,000, many of thorn from 15 te 50 horse new or. The re are nearly 200 electric railways in ever 125 towns and cities, and these have In opera tion or under contract 1,884 cars en 1,260 miles of track." Altve Under Odd Condition, A man has lived In Jollet. Ills., a vear and a-half with a bullet in his brain. Mar tin Relstad died last night from treuble of the brain, and bis ease was such a peculiar one that the attending physicians deter mined en an examination of his brain. A fiost-mertem examination was held, and he surgeons were astonished te find Im bedded in Relstad's brain a 32 calibre bul let. There is little doubt that Relstad re ceived the bullet In bis brain during the last presidential campaign, and that it was self-inflicted. Relstad and Charles Adams attends! a political meeting at Bloomington. On the return trip Adams fell from the platform et the car and received Injuries which nearly proved fatal. Hew he happened te fall has never been cUr, but the gener ally accepted version was that Relstad and Adams were engaged in a friendly scuule wiiuu iue laiieriuu iruni me train, ueisiau was found the next merntngin the lumber yard district In a dazed condition and his head cut and bleeding It was stated that Relstad bad been attacked In his store. The discovery of the bullet n Relstad's brain throws new light en the matter. It is new thought that the young man was frightened ever the accident te his friend, and In a tit of dospendonoy attempted bis own life by the use of a revolver. Given Pension.

There were quit a number of bidden, and several companies were represented by agents. A contract for 1,000 feet was awarded te the Eureka Hese company, of New Yerk, at 00 cents per feet. The hese Is te be of cotton, three ply and rubber lined. A contract for the ether 1,000 feet wan awarded te the Gutta percha and Rubber Manufacturing com pany, of New Yerk, at 80 cents per feet. This Is Baker hose, three-ply and of cotton. There were quite a number of bidders for the supply wagon, which will be a new vehicle for the fire department. The lowest was Mayer Edward Edgerley, who was awarded the contract at f286. The sett of the wagon will be high and underneath it will be a reel. The wagon will also be supplied with a lantern. The ethor bidders for the supply wagon were SUsby Manufacturing company, of Seneca Falls, New Yerk, $550; Henry Nelle, Lancaster, 375 with reel, f 265 with out reel ; A. F. and S. E. Stewart, New Yerk, offered two carts for $1,100, ene 'te hare a reel and the ether hone ; Chamber A Palmer, Lancaster, $375 with reel and $330 without reel; Henry Keiser,' Philadel phia, $325 with reel and $295 without reel ; D. A. Altick's Sens, for cost of grade A, $535 ; grade B, $185. After the bids for thoheso had been opened and the contracts awarded, several of the bidders asked for and obtained their bids back. As no record was kept of thorn, only theso of the firms who get the con tracts were te be had by the newspapers.

Interested in such contracts, directly or indirectly, elther at Its inception or during the progress of Its fulfillment, or furnish any materials, supplies or labor for such con tracts." The award of the fire commlttee appears te have been made in ignorance or con tempt of this ordinance, which forbids the mayor te fulfill the contract and makes the award Illegal. COMMON PLKAS CASES.

The following Is from the New Yerk Ledger of March 27, 1858 : Fer seme time past Inflamed eyes, rasped threats, chapped, lips, and exasperated noses have Leen quite the rage in New Yerk, and sneezing tlie chief pastime of all classes. High and low, rich and peer, rough and refined, have te bow their heads te the explosive visitation. Every grade of sneeze may be heard in tlie street and in the parlor, from the zephyr-like "isliee" or the die-away helle, q the reverberating " borashew " or tbe robust and above-beard sneezer. Even our speech has been changed by this Influenza, all our 1'i's having turned te i's, our u's te d's, our f's toy's, and our Vs te z'n. The enraptured lever who in his enthusiasm in tends te exclaim : "My Dear Marv. sine me the sweet song of Nelly Mery," Is horrified at hearing his husky volce rasp out, " By dear Bary, zig me tlie zweet zeg of Delly Bery," and sneezes with vexation. Every nese has te undergo that extremity of nasal Insult pulling, with a frequency that soenor or later brings a permanent blush of Indignation te its very tip. ij Mr. James Brown Petter; 1 ! Frem the New Yerk Hun. A great many of the cheap paragraphed and vulgar wits of the country have amused themselves deriding Mr. James Brown Petter during the past five years. Nobody has ever speken a word in his favor publicly, but his action has been con sistent, honorable, and straightforward throughout. He is a man of the highest Integrity, and the manner In which he has suftered In silence during his wife's recent career, and even up te new, when she de parts te Australia with Kyrle Ilellew, a lady's maid and a nursemaid, allows the sort of stutl'heis made of. His financial position remains unshaken, and he Is to day the most loving, careful and conscien tious of fathers te the ehild that Mrs. Pot Pet ter has practically deserted. " Stabbed Through the Heai-t. Andrew Weaver, 05 years of age, was found murdered en Tuesday morning In front of the heuse of his daughter.Iu-Taw, Fiette Weaver, about three miles from Ceburn, In Centre county, Pa. He had been stabbed through the heart with a butcher knife. Flette Waiver, Jonas Auman and his mother, Mrs, Auman, were arresieu, anu rieue eaver was com mitted by a Justice of the peace as the mur derer, and the ethers were committed as accessories. They were ledged In Jail at Bellefonte. Weaver and his daughter-in-law had frequently quarrelled, and she Is said te bar threatened te "kill him if abi get tat tfcauee." JEFFERSON'S GRANDCHILD.

Re peated attempts by Influential legislators te secure for Mrs. Molkleham a modertte pension have resulted only in failure. In the Forty .seventh and Forty-eighth Congressos, Representative W. E. Robin son, of New Yerk, introduced a bill te pay her $5,000 a year, subsequently amended te $2,500, Congress, however, refused te pass th measure en the ground that its enact ment would sol a dangereus precedent for ethor claims less meritorious for civil pott pett pott slens.

Senater Stanford has received a long dis patch from the general superintendent of the Central Pacific railroad at San Francisce giving nn account of the snow blacknde in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The dis patch says the situation has net materially changed for the hotter, and that It is iui- Cosslble te start any or the delayed west eund trains. On each side of the moun tains the snow Is plied up till It Is from three te four feet higher than tlie cabs of the locomotives en each slde of the track, and push ploughs and "llangers" are of no service whatever, as they cannot threw the snow out or the channel. The steps have had te be tnken off the cars te provent them from dragging In the ice, and the snow Is se deep that the sides of the cars are push ing against the high hanks. A very heavy snow nnd wind storm has prevailed In Eastern Nevada and Utah and two engineers and three fireman were killed by engines bocemlngdoralledby the wind. Several trains have loll Odgnu for the East, but all have been derallcd after going a short distance by the Ice en the tracks. West of Summit the tinew Is plied up en me uicui irem niioen te iwemy reel, nna great danger Is apprehended that the great weight will crush thorn In. East of Sum mit the snow en the sheds Is even greater In depth and the telegraph wires evor tlie mountain nt Cascade are buried from ten te twolve feet, although the tops or the poles stand twenty-two feet abeve the ground. Heavy land nnd (mew slides have occurred at Delta and north ofDunsmlre. Te lllustrate the nature of the storm the dispatch says that nt n point about a mlle north or Upper Seda Springs n snow slide came down the mountain and dammed up the river se that Its bed was dry for half nn hour below the dam. A portion or the slide crossed the rlver, btcakingeff trees that at the stump wero two and three feet In diameter. Soveral hundred men nre digging nway the snow and rock slides south of Duns mire, aud It will take thorn seme days te completo the task. The line north of Ash land has been blocked Tour days and all passongers have been sent back te Port land. A severe storm set lit again yesterday, and tbe superintendent oxpressod grave fears that the worst is yet te come. Anether dispatch from Vice Presldent 'Crocker, of the Central Pacific, saysthat ha. M uwii uiuvMani ti Mil nuunOIAU4iUllJ , and has Just reached San Francisce. The storm, he says, has been the soverest since the read was constructed, and never bofero have trains been detained for mere than twenty-four hours by falling snow. Twenty-five hundred extra men'liave been employed te combat the olemonts and great difficulty Is experienced In provisioning them, as all supplies have te be carried by means or a snow shoe service aud ut un enormous expense. In places en the line or the Central Paci fic the snow yesterday was from 150 te 200 feet dcep en tlie tops of the snow sheds, and It Is feared they will net withstand the strain. The snow bs been falling from Ogden te Colfax slnce Docember 20, and In Nevada has been heavier limn ever known befere. In many or the cuts and narrow ravines the snow reaches a depth from forty te fifty feet, and snow ploughs are wholly un available. In muny places the trains are covered out of sight, and no communication can be had except en snowsheos. AN ANARCHIST INFORMER. The Story Dovelopod by Charges Against a Chicago Detoctlve. The Secallst and Anarchist societies In Chicago have been wrought up te n high pitch of excitement evor the possession of what the members believe te be absolute proof of the exlstonce of a huge pollce con spiracy against them. Seme time age Do De Do tectivo Charles Nerdrum was arrested and fined for assaulting a man at a meeting of the A r belter Bund. The assault was said te have been totally unwarranted, and soveral committees re presenting the Personal Rights League, the Central Laber Union, Pioneer Aid and Support association, Socialistic Publishing soclety, Arbelter Bund and ethor organi zations, called en the mayor te demand the dismissal or Nerdrum. The dotectlve learned of the vlsltef these committees te the mayor nud about four weeks age, It Is said, called en Henry Llnnemeyer, jr., who is Interested lu the prosecution of Nerdrum. Nerdrum, it is said, propesod te purchase leniency by giving Llnnemeyer certain in formation concerning the operatlcus of the police among the Anarchists and sliewlng that a certain supposed champion of the Anarchist cause was In reality In the pay of the pollce for the purpose or creating by wild utterances ajxnnilar prejudice against the Anarchists. Linnomeyer, without premising anything, asked Nerdrum te nroduce the proofs. Nerdrum compiled by bringing te Atterney Kraft's olllce, where Linnomeyer met him, fourteen reports from a spy of the police te the department. These reports consisted of detailed ac counts of Anarchist movements, the con versation and deliberation of theso con cerned lu them, suggekting whom te watch, and in fact laying bare the secrets or tlie workings or the Anarchists. The report ran back evor two years. The spy was Henry Dnntnayer, a man who slnce 1888 has been one or tlie most astute nnd airgresslve Anarchists lu tlie city; has been a leader in the Arbeiter Bund, president or the Free-Thliiklng organization aud an organlzer or the Karl Marx assembly and several ethers, and has advocated the murder or Judge Gary and Grlnnell and Ilenfield. He Induced ethers te echo his sentiments and then reported them te the pollce, and caused alt except himself te be put under sharp espionage. Fer ull this treachery Daninayer received only $60 a month, paid by Nerdrum, te whom he gave credit. These receipts, as well as the reports, are said te be new In the hands or the Socialist leaders. The effect or the publication of Nor Ner drum's statement has been tn ureate a de cided sensation lu the nolice deuartment. Superintendent Marsh promptly Issued a special erder te-day suspending Nerdrum pending Investigation of his alleged troachce' te the department, and the super intendent says Nerdrum will be promptly dismissed en verification of the charges against him.

A report Just recotved at Denver, Cel., says that nearly ene-half of the Stanten expedition te the Colerado river en their surveying tour have perished In Marble canon. Marble canon Is the most dangerous part or the long stretches or rapids lu the Colo Cole rado rlver. Soveral llves have been lest thore. the most recent victims being two members or the surveying party which set out last spring In the litterests or the same railroad onterprlse. The great treuble Is that for long dlstances the walls or the catiens drop almost Jperpendleular from a helght of several thousand feet. As thore are only occasional bits of shore along the water edge, It Is Impossible te niake port pert port age around the cataracts and whirlpools. Thore ls'ne such thing as retreat, nnd the man who gets far down among the canons must go through or perish In the attempt. This letter, dated Tuba City, Ariz., Jan. 21, te T. F. C.
