Hclnluh, North Queen street, was occtipted last eve ning during the public meeting held in connection w Itb the session of tlie Grand Council of the American enlcr of steam cu Blneerr. Uce. Overdeer, or PulUm Coun cil, Lancaster, presided, and the first speaker Introduced was Grand Chief Engi neer Petit. In dlrect phrase and with no attempt at rhetoric, Mr. Petit set forth the history and character of the order and traced Ha growth from Its Institution lu 18S0 until new. Starting with soven engineers iU membership had grown te thousands and In Pennsylvnuta nlone there were nearly 600 members. They must all be citizens of the United States, of geed moral character, sound health and limb, and have at least one year's active service s engineers, and where a ltcotise Is required hey must held such license. He thou gave u. lucid exposition of the objects efthe order, viz. : Te protneton mere thorough knowl edge In Its members of theoretical and practical engineering; te assist nietnbera te obtain employment; te. help the sick, Injured and distressed, and bury the dead ; te establish u widow &' and orphans' fund ; te help the meuthers who shall becotne In capacitated from following the profession te obtain empleyment suited te thelr affliction ; te de their utmost te oxtetid the liconse law throughout the Unlled Stales; and te establish schools In which the mem bers may study the highest branches of steam engineering.

The mr-ager of the organ of the order, the American Engineer, Mr. Merrick Cowles, or Chicago, then read a brief ad dress, in which alter paying a high compli ment te the principles or the erder, and te Lancaster and Its people, he sketched the practical operation of the bonellcial fea tures of the Engineer's association. He spoke from practical experience and wide observation, and his addr03s was pointed and well lecelvcd. URfnESKNTATIVK FllANKMN'b Nl'KKCU. W. W. Franklin, esq., made an Interest ing address, tracing the history of the steam ougine from the first experiments, B. C, through the rudimentary stages te the successful application of steam power by Watt, Fulton and ethor great inventors. He praised the principles and objects of the present erder and favored a law regulating the licensing of these who were put In ebarge of them. IlliMAtlKS 11V MR. HhNSLX. W. U. Hensel being introduced, arose in the rear end of, the room, and said he f'ilt that he ought te take the feet of this class. He belonged te no secret society and no beneficial erder, and knew nothing of their inner life and spirit, but had noticed that most of tbeiti when they wanted a man te talk about something he knew nothing about sent for a lawyer or a politician, The speaker had never directed any mere difficult machine, than n political commit tee, nor held the throttle of anything mera dangereus than a county convention; but, seriously speaking, he had been much impressed during the previous speeches with the universality or the use or the steam engine and its wlde beneficence. Nearly everything about us that con tributes te our moral wcirare or material c'.evutlen is the product of steam power. The history or the steam engine is the his tory or our civilization, our country and our century, for the steam onglne of the pagans wero only toys, and there really was no perfected steam engine until near the close of the last century. On Indo Inde Indo pendence Day, 1770, there wbre only two steam engines in all the United States, and new our steam pewer Is nearly doublethat ei cngiana, me worssnep ei tne worm, u took the toil or 100,000 inen Ter twenty years te rear the Great Pyramid of Egypt ; 60,000 Americans directing the steam pewer of their country could perform the name amount of labor between the rising of the sun and its going down en n winter day. Mr. Hensel extolled that passage, in the avowed principles of the erder which de clared that it "shall at no time pait'cipst) in strikes, nor intorfero iu any way be tween employer and empleye,"aud which pledges that, "recognizing their identity or Interests, it shall take no part In any pre ject or euterprise that shall Interfere with perfect harmony between thorn ; neither shall it be used for political or religious purposes." He pronounced a great deal of the clamor about a " conflict between labor and capitol " as mere " ret ;" social condit ions in this country chnnge se rapidly that the laborer of te-day is te-morrow's capi talist. Associations of men who work with their hands, forcemmou benefits, were his torical ; and never could become unpopular se long as they were wisely dlrccteJ. Ah Ui state regulation and license, euro must be taken net te ask nor te expect the state te de tee much. Hut in Pennsylvania the principle of license and bisection as a proper oxerclso of the police power had long been recognized. The Inspection of petroleum and of boilers was provided for bylaw; the sale of Kisens, explosives, deadly weapons and cigarettes; and the practice of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and even of "boss docterin'. " It did net seem unreasonable, therefore, that the stute should be asked te protect the lives of Its citizens by enforcing effic iency und ample qualifications en the part of theso who nre in chargoef thodcllcute and dangerous en gines in crowded centres of population, whose ill-working might at any time deal death and disaster te life and pioperty. Harry Hhaub, of this city, an engineer, and J. K. Sklrk, the well known manufac turer, concluded the meeting with some well-timed remarks in eulogy of the erder, its principles und practical operations, ernemts KLCPi ki. At the business session of the Grand Council te-day the following officers were elected: Grand chief oindiieor. II. l. Cen ner; first assistant, Frank Weldner; grand recording engineer, H. F.

Petersen ; grand luslde sentinel, David W. Field ; grand eutside tentiuel, Chas. C. Huusbiirger; grand chaplain, Harry Shaub ; trustee for three years, Wil liam H. Feuler. As the candidates have no opposition they will be olected at this morning's session. A special meeting of the Grand Council will beheld in Philadelphia in a few weeks when the tliue and place for the next an nual session will be determined upon. The Supreme Council of the order will meet iu Philadelphia en June H, which will be attended by delegates from every state iu which the I'liieu exists. Catfish Plenty.

Postmaster General Wanamaker iu order te incroase the efficiency of the free dolivery service, desires te secure a cheap device for a lotter box for the doers or dwellings. A letter box at each bouse would save much or the carriers' time whlle increasing the securlty or the mail. The government has, of course, no right te comel people te get boxes, but it Is thought that an official recommendation by the department would inducea great many poeplo te get thorn. He has appointed the Kstuiasters of New New Yerk, SL Leuis, Washington, New Orleans and Halt imorencommltteo te report as te the style of box best suited for the purpose. At Oswego, N.

Jjitoraneiner neg noieuging te a prominent gentleman of the town was cornered and an attempt was made te take him. The man succ-ceded, hewever, In getting the deg away without any treuble and he Is new wearing a muzzle. A little girl, whose home is In the western part of the tow n, came te the station heuse this morning for her deg which was captured yesterdav. He was a pretty little terrier and the girl declared that oneol the catchers ran alter her Inte the yard and took tbe deg mitnf lmrnrms.

They wpre taken eui te the estab incnt or Jehn Walten, near the old city waterworks, where they wtre disposed or. Tliey wero all mongrel curs that the owners wished te get rid of. AtO o'clock this morning there were ten dogs iu the pen, witli the indication that there would lie mere before night. If the pen Is uet full it will be because the law is being pretty well ebeyed, and most or the dogs ure wearing muzzles, for he catchers are active enough, and they don't allow a deg much chance. A Dangerous Place. One of tbe most dangerous places for vehicles and especially light carriages and buggies is at East King und Duke streets. At this place the street car tracks branch out iu three different directions, and the diamond is almost filled with tracks. The earth has washed away from botween aud along the sides of the tracks leaving them several Inches hlgnerthaii the ground.

Arkansas A Texas railway, was wrecked by six masked robbers near Texarkana, Arkansas, at midnight en Monday night. The onglne, tender and oxpress cars left tbe track, and an unknown tramp, who was stealing a rlde was Instantly killed. The robbers attacked the express car, but the messenger repulsed them with a Win chester. Nene et the robbers wero hit and they returned the lire. Olie of the band vtafked up and down beside the train with a Winchester at full cock agalust his shoulder and shouted, "nobody en this train will be hurt unless they resist ; keep your heads in and don't go te firing toy pistols or you'll get kllled." It Is needless te say that the passongers ebeyed the In structions. The messenger, was told that he would be cremated In the car unless he sur rendered and he promptly gave In. The safe woseponed but the robbers only so se cured about $200. Six masked men went through tbe trains but molested no ene else. Nevlln, the express mossengor, and the fireman and engineer wero taken into the weeds by the robbers and tied te trees.

The robbers rodeolVand nn hour later the frightened passongers rescued the trainmen and gave the alarm. The bandits had just six hours' start of the sheriff and Ills esse, who are new out hunting the rnbbers, but no trace or them can be round. The leader or the gang Is supposed te be ene or the celebrated bur rows' gang, as this particular read has spoilt thousands nf dollars hunting the gang, and the leaders have threatened te be ro re ro tenged. An express train en the Cotten Belt was robbed about two yours age. Twe of the robbers, Stevo and Hube Burrows, wero afterwanls captured. Steve escaped aud Rube died In the ponltentlary while awaiting trial. THE HASH HALL WOULD. Plenty of l.overs of the Gnme in Lancas ter, It It Is Free. One would suppese rrein the way that the young men of the city have beceme directed by the bane ball craze, that it was ene efthe best towns in the country for the great sport. That is net the case, hewever, for It seems that a professional team cannot be kept together ler ever a month, the prin cipal reason being that the poeplo will net go te soe the game. They prefer te dedge about the outskirts of the city und leek at games that cost nothing. If any ene will take the treuble te go around the town In the evenings they will sea lets or ball. There are numerous grounds about the town and they are filled each evening. Seme geed playing is seen at times aud frequent lights enliven the sort.

They Petition the Senate Finance Com mittee te Chance the TnrllTBUl. The following petition, signed by 1,575 citizens or Derks county, Mas been sent te the Senate finance cemmittee: We, the undersigned, cigar manufac turers and empleyes or the city of Heading, Pa., beg te submit te your most favorable consideration the following! The McKlnley tariff bill as new framed. Imposing a two-dollar duty en Imported wrapper tobacco, would crlpple our busi ness. It is a certainly, the quantity of do mestic wrappers new produced Is entirely Inadequate and of a very Inferior quality. Whenever the farmer produees a crop that is at all available for wrappers, he will find ready sale for same and at better prices than auy ether product he raises. If the manufacturers are obliged te dis card the line quality and line appearing Sumatra wrappers, and are compelled te place before our people cigars inade out of domestic tobacco, which gives atastone ene can acquire after being accustomed te smoking goods made out or line quality domestic tllller and Imported Sumatra wrappers. There has been mera domestic tobacco raised and prices obtained ler same have been mere prolltable te the far mer than before the Introduction of Suma tra. Wlien we already pay a duty of 35 te 75 cents per pound Ter Sumatra tobacco, It is self-evident it is an article we cannot de without even If we are compelled te pay a duty or fi per pound. But we will simply compel the censumer who would be able te ay llve cents Ter a mixed cigar te go down Inte his )ecket and draw u dime te buy ene that would net under any circumstances suit his taste. Through this a great many smokers will de without and tliore iv doereaso tue con sumptien of cigars te such an extent that we will be eoniiKslled te clese our plants and discnntiiitie a business which te-day gives empleyment te thousands or people. We are well satisfied that the farmer will net have the ready sale for his domes tic filler that he new has, having a to bacco (In the Sumatra leaf) sultable te wrap his filler. If space would permit we would lllus lllus trnte by statistics the enormeuso incroase of the manufacture and consumption of domestic cigars. Tlie manufacturers have produced such a line cigar out of domestie tobacco and Sumatra wrappers that u great majority of the smekers accustomed te imported are new smoking domestie cigars. We bolleve It an abselute necesslty te haeSumutra tobacco, and from the facts set forth your honerablo coramlttee can see that an Incroase of duty will net In crease the demand for domestic tobacco. Thoreforo we horebV1 vigorously pretest against the passage of said bill and earn estly pray It te be se amended te give us a uniform duty en Imported wrapper tobac co net te oxcecd 50 cents a pound.

FunNiss, Lan. Ce., Pa., June 10. Knnens lNri:i.i.tORNci:n : Who will be the Democratic candidate for governor Is an absorbing question In the minds of many Democrats as well as many conser vative Republicans throughout the state of Pennsylvania te-day. There are elements entering into the guber natorial contest Iu the coming election which It b well for our Domeoratlc load lead ers te consider. The unsavory record or Dolamater, te whom Indications point conclusively as the Republican candidate Ter governor, as well as the methods being ompteyed te brlug about this nomination, willcause many Intelligent, conservative Republicans te support the Democratle candldate If said candidate Is at all ac ceptable te thorn. They de net ask us te nominate anyene In whom we as Democrats have net entire confi dence as te their Demecracy, but they simply ask that we nominate ene who will be "no mans man" and who when elected will be govorner of the state and work for the best Interests of the whole people The man who abeve all ethers satisfies the conditions Is Rebert E. Pattlsen. We may speak as highly as we llke of the availability and qualifications of ether candidates, but it remains a fact Itidlsputable that wtille no ene ei an tun prominent names mentioned can poll mero Demouratle votes than Rebert K. Pattlsen; there Is no ene who can poll nearly an many Republican votes as he. He retired from the governorship or Pennsylvania popular and honored because or his fidelity te duty, and he would outer the contest again with a prestige unoqtialed by any ethor moiitlenod. A goldeu opportunity awaits the Democracy or this state. Can we as a party rise abeve the petty personal jealousies which te often endanger success? lr we can and de the next Democratic state convention wilt nonilnate the next gev orner of Pennsylvania and his name will be Rebert K. Pattlsen. JAMKS O. MtSl'AIlRAN, PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. Business Transacted at the Annual Meeting el the Stute llmly.
