Butler, August 1& Inspector Greer's first annual report of the Soldiers Orphans' Schools of the State, under the management of the commission, reveals a very satisfactory condition of affairs. No children have been received into these schools since June, 1887, and, as a consequence, the number of chil dren and schools are gradually decreasing. During the past year the Mercer, Mansfield, White Hall, Mt Joy and Chester Springs schools were closed. It subsequently became .necessary to reopen the latter school, which, together with the TJniontown ana Harford schools, is under the direct supervision of the commission, who employ the managers, teach ers and help, and furnish all the provisions and supplies. Children who could not be provided for in these schools were placed In St Paul's Orphans' Home, Butler; the Tressler Home, Loysville, or the Northern Home, Philadel phia, where the commission pay their hoard, furnish their clothing, and keep a constant supervision over them. None hut children tinder 12 years of age are kept at the latter place. The health of the children during the year has been remarkably good, and they are exceptionally happy aud contented. As a rule the clothing is very good. The supply of food Is abundant and well cooked. The facilities of the Butler Homo have been materially improved by the erection of three new buildings. The whole institution is In ' first-class order. At the Tressler Home, Lnys ville. a new building is needed, and the ap pointment of a good male attendant Is sug gested. TJniontown passed inspection credit ably save in the matter of discipline. The Har ford buildings are old and inadequate and un suitable, but they are the best that can be had for the present The school Is highly com mended. The commission has leased the buildings and grounds at Chester Springs, and will have re pairs and improvements made which will make this one of the best institutions of the kind in the State. This school is most fortunately sit uated, being 30 miles from Philadelphia and convenient to a large number ot children It has S3 acres of ground, commodious and com fortable buildings, and an abundance of ex cellent water. With Chester Springs, Butler, TJniontown and Loysville repaired and im proved the children of deceased soldiers will certainly be provided with good homes, schools and surroundings, and will receive such care and treatment as the people of Pennsylvania demand. The inspector says: "I think the Legislature should open tbe door and receive such as are destitute. It is estimated that Pennsylvania. with a population of over 5,000,000, has abont 10 000 dependent children, one child to every 500 population. Would it not be well for the 499 persons to take charge of this child, clothe, feed and educate It, and give it such mental, moral and religious training as would save it from a life of crime and misery, and the State from the burden of its support as a criminal in after years? There are bnt 1.122 children on the rolls of tbe Soldiers Orphans' Schools. Tbe list is becoming shorter every month. Tbe number will soon be reduced so that two or three schools will accomdate all. Should the State see fit to adopt the Michigan system of keeping all dependent children, excellent locations could be secured at Chester Springs and Jumonville."

WILY PLAIT'S PLANS. Endeavoring to Arrange a Deal With v the County Democracy. THE MAI0E OP NEW TORE CITT To be Traded for Five Seats In the State legislature. SOME OBSTACLES TO Bfi OVERCOME rSPXCIAX. TILXORAM TO TUX SISPATCB New York, August -18. Another effort is to be made by tbe Fassett investigating committee next month to shatter the Tam many wigwam. Searchers have been at work all summer in several ot the city de partments, and a sensation is promised hat will be more damaging than the exposure of Mayor Grant's godfatherly gift of 515,000 to Dick Croker's little daughter. All this means, of course, that Senator Piatt is on the warpath against the Tammany braves, and that he has the material with which to wage a pretty hot fight against the wigwam. Tbe Republican boss wants Mayor Grant's scalp, and Dick Croker's, too, and he doesn't care whose hands hold the knife so long as he guides its strokes and does the hair raising. Strangely enough he finds the strongest opposition to his plans in his own party, despite the fact that men like Postmaster Tan Cott, than whom there is no more experienced judge of local politics, are heartily with him in his undertaking. The postmaster has come out openly in favor of a county ticket headed by an independent Democrat, aud he quotes tbe figures of pre vious elections to prove the folly of trying to elect a Bepublicau Mayor in this town. ONLY WON 'ONCE. The effort has only once met with success, and that was a quarter of a century ago. No Republican has held the Mayoralty since, and there will have to be some tremendous upheavals in matters political if one is to preside over the city's affairs for a good many years to come. Piatt points to the figures of past elections to sustain his argument that no Republican can win. These show that Tammany Hall controls a full 100,000 votes for any Mayor alty candidate it puts in the field. All the scandals that investigating com .mittees may unearth cannot make any ap preciable break in this solid phalanx of Tammany voters. The Republicans can muster between 60,000 and 70,000, aud tbe County Democracy about the same number. Neither organization is, therefore, numer ically strong enough to overcome the Tam manyites, though together they could do it, with several thousand votes to spare. HAT BE FJJUSTRATED. The opportunity to do it is ripe, and the desire is strong with thousands of citizens who put integrity above politics in the se lection of municipal officers. Tet the plans for a union ticket may be frustrated, be cause there are a number of Republicans here who are ready to oppose any proposi tion put forward by Senator Piatt, no mat ter what the results to the party or the com munity may be. These men entered into an alliance with Tammany last winter, and through the exchange of Federal and local offices managed to gather sufficient strength to kill the World's Fair aud our rapid tran sit measures in the Legislature, and thev are now bent on putting a straight Republican ticket in the held this loll so as to insure a Tammany victory. All this to "get even with Piatt." TWO IMPORTANT PEATUBES. But why? The Piatt programme insures two things: Republican Legislature, which means a Republican successor to Evarts; and second, tbe overthrow of Tammany in this city. The County Democracy, with 70,000 votes behind them, can insure the election of about five Republican Assembly men, if, on the other hand, the Republic ans will unite on a Mayoralty ticket. A union of that sort would command at least 125.000.votes, a figure which no Tammany candidate could touch. Thus, a substantial gain in the Legislature would be made rea sonably certain, a fact which ought to be comforting to the half dozen Republican candidates for Senator Evarts seat, for there is every indication that the Democrats will not be more than half a dozen votes behind in joint ballot Of course, the cry is raised that the Piatt men are giving away the Mayoralty for half a dozen Assemblymen; but, admitting this, what is lost to tbe party? Certainly not the Mayoralty, for no sane man really believes a Republican candidate would have the ghost of a chance. The "Straight-outs" themselves don't believe it, though they pro fess to. Mr. Piatt argues that it he can up root Tammany and gain a few members of tbe Legislature he is getting ample reward for putting a County Democracy candidate ia the Mayor's chair. A DETERMINED aNDITIDUAIj. At any rate, he is determined to try it, and two-thirds of the Republican district leaders are with him heartily. As these are tbe men who control tbe convention, it is difficult to see how the "Straight-outs" can hcjpe to thwart him; but they are making great efforts to do so, and the fight for the mastery is growing more bitter every day. It may lead to a bolt from the party conven tion's indorsement of the union ticket, tnd nomination of a straight Republican candi date. Then matters would be mixed. H. L. Stoddabd. C.

Both Pittsburg and Allegheny suffered last night with a plague. About dark in every portion of the two cities there were great swarms of white flies or gnats. In many places, and especially about the electric lights, the air was thick with them. It was nothing unusual to see i a party of a dozen people walking along the street with a dozen handkerchiefs punch ing into a dozen pairs of eyes to remove the insects which had taken refuge there. They dropped readily behind collars and made people hot under that portion of their dress. On the bridges they took especial delight in flying into girls' faces and women would be seen hurrying along with handkerchiefs so arranged that they looked lite Hour! who had just escaped from the harem of some noble Turk. They had a decided liking for drowning themselves in anything to drink. They were not at all particular and were as will ing to perish in the meek and harmless glass of beer as to end their lives amid the glories of a silver fiz. On the South Side they were particularly numerous. Dr. Arnholt's ofilce on Carson street became so unpleasant from the visit of the little pests that he was abliged to vacate temporarily and dozens of others had the same experience. Toward midnight the flies began to disappear, many of them being killed by coming in contact with the elec trio lights and under each light the ground was almost white with dead insects. THIS WHX BE A HOLY DAY. Catholics to Commemorate the Fatal Choi era Epidemic To-day will be a holy day at St. Michael's Church on the Southside. Eev. Father Bernard will hold a special memorial ser vice commemorative of (he cholera epidemic of 1854. Prayers will be offered for those who died during the cholera scourge.

At 6 o'clock there will be a high mass and sermon, and at 7 o'clock there will be vespers, with sermon and benediction. GIVEK SHELTER FOB A NIGHT. A Homeless Woman la Taken Core of nt a Police Station. Mrs. Tevens, a woman about 30 years of age, appeared at the Twenty-eighth Ward station last night and asked for shelter. She was homeless and was recently sent to the workhouse, where she gave birth to a child. She was discharged from there and applying to Agent Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty Society, he had her sent to the Poor Farm. She ran away from there a day or two ago and last night turned up at the station house. She was given shelter for the night. Francis Joseph's Birthday.
