thus : Being in 41filadulphia during the
late unpleasantness, (excuse us:for allud:
ing.4l, it.) we saw marching down the
street a body of prisoners, gaarded'by
s:. troops. The captives were carrying
satchels and carpet-bags, and were evi
dently on their way to some Flue of con
finement. Curious to know who they
were, we ventured toiask a sergeant who
brought up the rear', if his prisoners were
Rebels. Ileianswered very promptly and
emphatically; "No, they are a d—d sight
worse ! They're Copperheads." They
were our neighbors from Columbia
county, implicated in the Fishing Creek
conspiracy,: who were on their way to
Fort Delaware. Then the union soldiers
;were obliged to stand • guard over our
Dernociatic friends. Now the Democracy
parade the 'boys in, blue, to deceive the

TUE MAINE ELECTION
Full returns from the State election
in Maine point to the election of
DAVIS, the Republican candidate for
Governor ; three of the five Congress
men, and a majority. Of the Legisla
ture. Uniler grdinary circumstances,
compared witfi\the vote of the past
few years, this would have been re
garded throughout the country as a
signal triumph for the Republican
party. Its influence is les.sened from
the fact that the RepublicanWOrkers,
after a full and accurate canvass of
the State had given assniance that
they would succeed by a majority of ' 1
several thousands. -That- the result
was a close vote, so close indeed as
•
to give the Fusionists a' claim for
success; was a-matter of diiappoint
meat to the over-confident. But
really the result of the Maine election
should inspire the Republitlan party
with confidence, at the': same time it
reveals to them the pectiliar methods
by means of which the Democratic
leaders hoped to capture' the Presi
dency. The fact is established, with
the certainty of absolute proof, that
the Democrats deliberately atle:upt
ed to purchase Maine, and failed be
cause they did not go- far enough. It
was the same in its general outcome ;
as the THIPEN• campaign of 1876: It
was conducted by the same man as
was partly concerned in that, and
failed• in precisely the same way.
The• result the moral influence,
which the Denti f :tcrats expected to
control, will;n6w be strongly Repub
lican.
Maine, therefore, represents a more
brilliant victory than was originally
anticipated.. b it has absorbed tbe,
money of the Democracy and done
them no good. It , has gone Reprbli.
can in all its officials from Governor
down. The return's are in from even
the Aroostook region, and where
Democratic gains were feared Repub..
lican gains have been inade. These
arelmflinipnt, as 'near beard from, to
'
elect DAVIS by a plurality. There
are hopes that as the returns are
fully reeeived he will be elected by
an abiolute majority over all com
petitors. i ßuteven admitting that a
Purality. only is secured, the' new
'amendment . to the constitution canna
that to elect. Or, if its constitution
ality is disputed, the Legislature is
Republican in . both branches, anti
Will elect DAVIS. Thus in any event
we have the Governor; and the . early
shouts of the Remocraerz were de ,
eidely ) , premature.- They may now
shout In:the other direction. " Ile
laughs Wilt who laughs last," is the
old French proverb. And in the
Present case the Republicans laugh
last over Maine. Besides Maine - has
developed Demoeratic t`ctics. It is
now known that despfti their cry of
poverty, money is to -Ilargely used,
and against this due; preparations
can be made. Maine turns out well,
after all, for the Republican cause.
Another effect of this chill from
the Pine 1 ree State will be do awaken
the Republicans from - the condition
of over-confidence ' into which they
had fallen. Because there was unan
imity in one ranks, and te strong and
abiding feeling in the jUstice of 'our
cause, there• was great danger of that
inaction arisihg from a belief in sue
cess which is the greatest danger that
can possibly threaten a political
party in such an important contest.
Republicans will now awaken to the
fact that the battle is not yet ended.
That increasing vigilance and active
exertion is still 'required. The foe is
desperate and unscrupulous, and de - -
templed to win if money can corrupt

PHILADELPHIA LETTER
PHILADLLPHIA, September 20. 18E0
The Veterans' Club of this city, (com
posed of soldiers and sailors who served
in the armies and navies of the .Union),
paraded Wednesday night, and made an
imposing diiiplay. The procession was
divided into four divisions, and owing to
the great numbers) of veterans in line,
was somewhat tardy in moving. The
scene on the march down was one of
great beauty. Many of the fashionable
re: idences on Broad. street were illumina
ted, while their windows and balconies
were crowded with spectators. The com
mander-in-chief, Major-General Hart
ranft, with his staff, as'well as the divis
ion commanders and orderlies, were
mounted upon spirited chargers. At all
points on the route the enthusiasm was
immense, the veterans from Hancock's
home receiving' general attention from
the crowds. The procession was led off
by the Veterans' Club of Philadelphia,
with a fine band and a batch af. battle
scarred colors. The clubs of the different
wards then followed in numerical order.
Each division was headed by a brass
band, and a transparency containing the
following wocdi "We will: rote
, as we
fought," and`the figure of in army corps
badge, The clubs marched to the music
of the,fife and drum corps, of which there
was an almost endless number in line.
Nearly'r every man bore a torch, which
rendered . the pageant as a night specta
cle all the more:inspiriting and beautiful.
Thenrimary eleptiOns we• held in this
city oti Ttiesdarevening, and' the nomi
nating conventions Wednesday and
T . hursiay. On the first day were selected
Congrossmen. State Senators and mem
bers of the Legislature. The present
'members were all re-nominal ed without
opposition. In tbeFirst District, Benja
min L. Berry is the Republican candidate
against the renowned Sam Randall. In
the Senatorial Convention, George Hari 7
dy Smith pc the First, and John C. Gra
dy, of the Seventh, were re-nominated by
cclamation. in the Fifth District there
was a hotly contested battle. John E.
Reyburn, the preient &natai was antag
oniied by William Bunn, and the resale
foe some time was doubtful. Reyburn
hdwever secured a majority of ,the com.
8.
matte on contested seats, arid when the
controversy as to seats was decided, and
the vote was taken, he Bad a marjority
of the Convention, and was declared nom
inated. The Third District has been rep
resented by John Eamon, an excellent
man of untarnished reputation. Until
within a few days hi,' re-nomination seem
ed 'Pertain, but the ruling powers decreed
otherwise, and he was badly beaten in
the Convention by Harry M. Quick, who
is said- to be a wortby man and a good

It is unquestionably a fact, and is con ,
ceded by leading phyiticians, thatat least
twenty-three per cent. of the daitb-rate
in cities is due to the miserably imperfect
sanitary regulationslif the water closet,
qui tAR consequent Ivitiation of the at

purpose. At tlie State Fair, in space NO

A. Edwardd, Of No. 1l North Seven
teenth street, (formerly of Towanda),
exhibits an invention which is undoubted- .
ly destined to; work a revolution in, the
building of the death-breeding closets
and wash-stands. It is a closet that ren
ders the escape of sewer gas an utter im
possibility. Although this may seem a
bold utterance, a single inspection will
convince the most skeptical that it is a
demonstrable fact and worthy of thor- .
ough investigation.
Samuel Bradford Fates, a prominent
merchant of this city, who was stricken.
-
-with paralysis at his residence on Vine
street, near Franklin, a few clays ago,
died yesterday, aged seventy-two . years.
Ile was linring life a director of the Aca

Thirty-six liOrses for the Herdic Trans
portation Company have' been placed in
the stables recently purchased by the
company. Large stables are building at
Broad. and Cherry streets, with stalls for
a hundred horses. ' Work on die coaches
is progressing rapidly, but the company
will not begin operations until October.
Sixty coaches are now in the company's
paint shops and are finishing at the rate
of ten a, week. The coaches will first run
ou Broad street and then on the principal
intersecting streets. Most of the coach
es on Broad street will not go beyond the
Punch Bowl, but a few will' carry passen
gers to,Germantown. The car trackg4ill
not be used because the company' refers
to run the coaches ori the stones, where
no obstacles in the way of over-loaded
cars or broken-down wagons can be en
countered. The run on Broad street,. be
tween Norris and Chestnut, will be made
in less than twenty minutes. When a
- test of speed was made a few days ago
the coach passed three street-cars during
a trip from Green street to Market.

About thirty members of the Aztec
Club, an organization composed of offi
cers of the United States army, who serv
ed in the war„ with Mexico, held their an
nual meeting in thin city, on Tuesday.
Al the close of the meeting the Club was

It was a most agreable re-union of coin

at the General's hospitable board Was an
event in the history of the organization.
The year 1882 will complete the second
century since.the founding of our Com

cure a proper celebration of the event, a
society Las been recently organized in

on Wednesday last, was struck
by a :locomotive. The *bock was so gleat
that - 'the car,was lifted from the rails and
ihrown on a platform ear standing along
side, and finally into the street, in a bad
ly' damaged condition. The horse was
killed and the driver bad his left arm

car was crowded with people, seven of
whom sustained comparatively slight in

encroaching ! upon th 4 son of this
City's supply, which hat the tendency to
directly influence prices, while Western
produce don't reach usi any more for the
reason that the local cousumption has so
likely increased as to, require it all.
It is said that some of the parties who
united with the Produce Exchange to
prosecute the dealers in oleomargarine
are now selling it openly., Sales of " the
stuff are increasing at a rapid rate, the
largest customers being hotels and restau
rants.
Lower grades of butter for shipping'
purposes have not been so scarce since
the war, and there is nothing in the mar
ket under twelve to sixteen.cents that de
serves the name.- The reason for this
condition of things of affairs is that the
butter is bought up for exportation.
The fall trade has set in strongly, and
bop customers and orders are as plenti
fur as blackbirds in corn-planting time.
The hotel registers are .burdened daily
with arrivalg• of country merchants, and

The number of vessels coming- to this

less this year than last. Up to this date
the number is sixty less.
If one-half of the charges made by the
emigrants from Europe to this country,
on the Cunard line of steamships, are cor
rect—and,really they are authenticated
so far as correlative testimony .goes—it
simply proves that they should, when
crossing the Atlantic, seek another line.
Twenty years ago steerage passengers, in
the eyes of some of. the commanders of
vessels in which they embarked, . rated
but little higher than animals. Their
meals, where the ship contrae. tee to sup
ply them; we r e not furnished at the prop
er time, were scant, and oftentimes en
tirely insufficient. If a certain charge is
exacted for the conveyance of passengers,
they have certain rights which are too
often disregarded. It is to the credit of
Philadelphia and the State, that the
American line of steamers to Europe has;
from its inception, been actuated by more
honorable motivel. Those whO embark
upon any of the fine vessels of this line,
whether pOor or rich, are cared for. :AB
persons having friends abroad expecting
to come , to this "land of the free," should
advise them tole cert4ln to engage pass
age on the ArneriCat Line, from Liver
pool, or the Red Star Line from Antwerp.
Personal C•biervation enables the writer
hereof. to testify to the excellent care
taken of the steerage passengers on these
lines, and the satisfying accounts they
give of their treatment and the accommo
dations and food provided for them.
The second week of the State Fair was
a great success. The daily attendance
averaged about 20,000. The exhibits re
tained their attractiveness remarkably
well, and when the premium ribbons were
tacked upon the :tails of the live stock,
the attention of visitor s was...celled to the
animals in an unusual degree 4 The fact
that a cock or horse, or pig or rooster took
a first premium, gave it a prominence in
the eyes of the spectators which its less
fortunate competitors for the premiums
do not possess. The growlings amongst
the (Vsgruntled and unsuccessffil cam pet it

A libeeklnif Tragedy,
The village of Moosic was thrown
into a terrible state of excitement on
Sunday, by the report that a whole
family had been poisoned and that
some of the siiile,yers 'were dying.
The story unhaply proved to be
true, and for a time the entire popula
tion of the place devoted their
energies to ; aid the victims - of the
disaster. '
The facts areas follows: Mr. ;and
Mrs. R. Steward Woodard, of.Niit
Creek, on Satdrday night visite43lr..
and Mrs. JoSiah Carl, in Moosic.
The two ladies are sisters. On Sark
day morning Mrs: Carl needed some
_lndian meal and sent TJemima;- - PoW,
ell, a servant girl, across the stre4
to borrow some from Mri. Carl's Ma
ter, Mrs. Tregella. The hoar • was
early, and when the girl reached the
house,.‘lrs. Tregella. had not yet ris
en. . She came doWn stairs, however,
in her night dress and admitted the
girl, telling her to go into the cellar,
where she would: find the 'meal in a
bag on swinging, sh elf. ,The girl de
scended the stairsi . and obtained the
meal. On a table near by, stood a
pan containing meal, in 'which had
been placed arsenic to kill rats. The
girl carelessly took up this pan and
poured - its contents. into her. dish.
With this deadly mixture the -girl- re
turned to Mrs. Carl's, made cakes of
it for breakfast and sat down with
the; family to eat. The girl of course
knew nothing of the arsenic in- the
meal. In a few moments every per
son at the table, was token violently
sick, and suffernd excruciating pains.-
Those who. partook of the poisoned.
repast, were,. JoSiah earl, Superin.,,
tendent of the Spring Brook colliery * ,
SylVina, his wife, Ernest, their -Son;
nine years old; It. Stewart Woolard,
despatcher for -toe - D. Co.- - A •at.
Mill Creek, Mrs. Woodard and Je
mime. Powell, the girl.
Antidotes were administered, and
everything' possible done to relieve
the sufferers,. but all proved unavail
ing to save the iivcs of twoof them.
Mrs. Carl died at half-past one
o'clock in the afternoon, and ten; min
utes later her sister, Mrs,. Woodward
expired. The girl, Jennie Powell, at
last accounts, was: lying in every
critical condition,
and her recovery
is hardly expected. Mr. Cirri, Mr:
'Woodard and the boy, it is thought
will survive, though - they werepot
- considered out of danger yesterday.
•The funerals of Mrs - . Carl and Mrs..
Woodard will take. place on Wed
nesday. The bodies will be taken to
St. Lawrence ' N. Y,. ; for -interment.
Services will be held in -the; church
at 3foosic, at. noon on Wednesday,
latter which the bodies will be taken
to - Scranton on the 1:16 . 'train,- and
thence cia. the D. L. & W.. R. R.
to St. ,Lawrence; - • •
The tragedy has cast a gloom over
Mill Creek and Moosic, as in both
places - the dead women had many
warm friends. Too much' care can
not he exercised in using deadly
poisons, and it can be seen frOM this
sad occurrence that there is great
danger in.huving them in the house,
even when intended for the best pur
poses.—Record, Wilkes Barre, Tetei
