Warren Hospital for the Insane.
The Hospital appropriation of $110,
000, considered enough to finish the
building, together with $2 ),000 for Its
support this year and $15,000 for next
year, was passed and approved. The
objectionable Item requiring female
Trustees was stricken out and the fol
lowing efficient Board of Trustees was
appointed and confirmed. They may
employ female doctors, but It is not
mandatory:
Warren Co. Hon. L. D. Wetmore
(3 years), Q. N. Purmlee, Esq. (1
year) E. B. Qrandln, Esq. (2 year).

Three Hours In the Shadow of the
Earth. ,
(Philadelphia Prefts, Juue 12.)
At 12 minutes after midnight this
morning the full moon, approaching
in brilliancy the harvest moon, began
to be obscured by an eclipse of very
exceptional totality. The late hour
was no bar to the interest of citizens
of more or less astronomical acquire
ments. Street corners and housetops
were acceptable observatories, needing
no better optical assistance than the
hand funnel-shaped furnished. Dense
clouds, early in the evening, caused
many hearts to sink with apprehen
sion lest the eclipse and the moon as
well should be obscured from view.
Before the midnight hour the dense
clouds had disappeared and nothing
more vexatious than occasional
patches of mackerel sky intervened.
When the moment of obscuration pre
dicted by astronomers 12:12 mid
nightarrived, a tissue of such fleecy
clouds rather accentuated than dis
turbed observation. On the eastern
border of the silver disc an impinge
ment was noticeable, which grew rap
idly and in half an hour had carried
the orb of night through all its
monthly changes only in reverse
from reversed gibbous to half moon.
In three-quarters of an hour it had
decreased until the novel spectacle of
old moon on full moon night was pre
sented. What was left shone with
seemingly increased luster, and the
outlines of the obscure parts were
seen Just as they are when distance
and position, and not an intervening
body, produce the same result. Still,
when the moon is passing through its
phases there is a vividness even in
what can be seen of the unilluminated
portions. What was seen during the
eclipse of this morning was of the dul I
copper-color of a badly-kept brazen
shield. Again, the marking us the
eclipse approached totality differed
much from the sharp-marked crescent
of ordinary phases. When totality
approached the bright portion scarcely
showed a line of concavity, proving
thereby the greatly out-measuring
sire of the intervening earth, which
could cast a shadow so much larger
than the apparent size of its satellite.
The upper western edge of the moon
was the last bright streak. Thereafter
for an hour and tweuty-one minutes,
it was only the brazen shield, with
brightness gradually changing from
west to east as the earth's shadow
shifted.
The time the obscuration was one
hour and tweuty-one minutes. From
the time that the first impingement
on its disc was noticed until it passed
beyond the shadow was three hours
and twenty-five minutes. The dura
tion of total eclipse of the moon is ow
ing to the fact that the earth and its
satellite move in the same direction.
The eclipse of this morning was un
usually long, because the moon very
seldom falls under the central shadow
of the earth. It might be supposed
that the obscuration would be total
no sign left when this happens. It
is believed that the light which illu-
minshersoas to make the copper-
colored disc visible is due to sun's rays
reflected through the earth's atmos
phere. Such au eclipse as that des
cribed can occur only at a time ot
full moon and on her arrival at one of
the nodes or crossing points of the
earth's orbit and her one. It hnn-
pened this time when she was nearest
the earth, and thus the nearest ap-
proacu 10 penect eclipse resuitea.
The National Gorernment in
Good shape Financially.
Washington, June 11. The Treas
ury Department is running very close
to the wind just at present in the mat
ter of public money in order to be pre
pared for the bonds clue July 1 and
August 13. The end of the present
fiscal year will, however, show the
Government in very good shape
financially. There is now in the
Treasury a cash balance of $155,000,-
000 in round numbers. The usual
surplus from revenues each month is
about 8,000,000, but of late they have
been running very heavy and will prob-
bly for this mouth aggregate $10,000,
000. This will close the balance at the
end of this fiscal year, June 20, with
about $165,000,000. $16,000,000 of this
will be paid out July 1 to meet this
amount of uncontiuued 6-per-cents.
which are payable on that date. On
the 13th of August there will come
due the remainder of the fives to be re
deemed, and the Treasury Department
is as yet uncertain how many will be
brought in for redemption. About
$270,000,000 have been sent in, but of
these five million are awaiting a legal
decision as to their availability for
continuance owing to certain inform
alities in the notices sent in. There
is also quite an amount of fives due
under the call of March 25, 1881,which
have not yet made their appearance
and which must be provided for. Al
together the end of the first quarter of
the next fiscal year will find the cash
balance iu the Treasury greatly de
pleted and there will be lew bonds
bought for the Sinking Fund.
The circulation of the standard
silver dollars from the treasury vaults
has practically stopped altogether.
During the fall and early winter there
was quite a demand for this coin for
the purpose of moving the crops. That
demand stopped when the corps
movement was over. Since the first
of January last there has been no call
for silver. All of the dollars that have
been coined since that date remain iu
the treasury. Futher than this, some
of the silver dollars then in circulation
have found their way back into the
vaults. The amount outstanding has
steadily decreased. The coinage at
the rate of a little over $2,000,000 a
month goes on. The question of stor
age will soon become an important
one if the present condition of the sil
yu Wax continues unchanged.
A Battle with Tram ps.
Olean, N. Y., has long been ene of
the chief headquarters of the tramps
and several days ago, quite a bloody
conflict took place between a gang of
them and citizens at the Erie depot, In
which numerous shots were fired and
one of the desperadoes received a pro
bably fatal wound. The Democrat
thus describes the affray:
"Yesterday afternoon a company of
seven of the most desperate of the
gang, obtained a keg of lager and pro
ceeded to fill up on the invigorating
beverage. After getting into fight
ing trim, they came around the Buf
falo depot at the Junction, where they
terrorized the employees and made
themselves particularly obnoxious
generally. Statiou agent Rapp order
ed them away, when one of them de
liberately fired a revolver at Rapp
which just escaped his head, lodging
in the side of the depot, where it tore a
hole big enough for a cannon ball,
They then started dowu toward the
Erie depot, where train 88 (way
freight) was standing and proceeded
to take possession of an empty box car
standing in front of the Erie depot.
They got inside and partly closed the
door, when they where discovered by
conductor Fred Hallls. He attempted
to eject them, and while near the car
they pushed the car door over on him
and Jumped out. While crawling out
from under the door, one of the tramps
deliberately aimed and fired at the
conductor, but luckily the ball ilew
wide of the mark. By this time, a
number of railroad employees and
others had been advised of the mclce
and hastily started in pursuit of the
desperadoes, who had started back to
ward the caboose, which was standing
toward the crossing. The tramps
were well armed with revolvers, one
having two pistols, and threatened to
kill any person who ventured near.
As they came near the caboose they
fired at least a dozen shot into it, and
seemed to be utterly bereft of any fear
whatever. The crowd of pursuers had
by this time largely augmented by re
inforcements from the acid works, re
finery, and elsewhere, many of them
bearing muskets, shot guns, pistols or
any other weapon they could get hold
of. The tramps had in the meantime
concluded to beat a retreat, and had
started up the Buffalo track, hotly
pursued by the crowd, which was
pretty well armed. They called on
the tramps to halt, but the fellows con
tinued to retreat as rapidly as their
legs could carry them. Several
shots were fired at them, and when
near the pump-station they had left
the track one of the shots took effect
and brought to grass a hard-visaged
fellow. One other threw up his hands
and surrendered, but the remainder
continued on regardless of consequen
ces. Two more were soon afterwards
captured, and the four prisoners in
cluding the wounded man, were
brought to the city by officers King
and Wiley, who had been telephoned
to come to the rescue."
Peterson's Magazine for July Is on
our table, ahead of all others, as usual.
We have so often spoken of this lady's
book, as the cheapest and best, that
all we can do now is to reiterate that
opinion. The present number is
peculiarly rich in embellishments
The steel plate, "The First Train," is
one of those charming illustrations,
never seen except in "Peterson.'' The
colored steel fashion plate is a gem
as "beautiful as a dream," as a lady at
our elbow says. There is a profusely
illustrated article cn "Ancient and
Modern Gardens," and a pretty illus
trated love-story, by Agnes James,
"Paste and Diamond." In this num
ber, we have the first chapters of a
historical novelet, "The News From
Yorktown," which Is also illustrated
and which is particularly appropriate,
as tliis is the Yorktown "Centennial
Year." In addition to this, there are
some two score cuts of fashions, work-
table designs, etc.; besides a beautiful
colored pattern for a photograph
frame, in daisies on black velvet.alone
worth the price of the number. Every
lady ought to be a subscriber for this
magazine. The terms are but two
dollars a year, with great reductions
to clubs, and handsome premiums to
the person getting up the club. Now
is the time to subscribe. A new . vol
ume begins with the July number,
but back numbers, to January in
clusive, can always be supplied, if
wished. Specimens are sent, gratis, if
written for, to persons wishing to get
up clubs. Address, Chas. J. Peter
son, 300 Chestnut Street, Philadel
phia. A storm of unusual severity occur
red in this region about midnight
June 8, by which considerable damage
was done to growing crops, to the
country roads and bridges, and also to
the railroads. Nearly all trains are
out of time in consequence to-day.
A family hamed Straub, living on
Glenn's Run, were swept away in the
night, the mother and five children
being drowned and the father carried
on a log to the head of one of the Sis
ters' Islands, where he was found to
day in an insensible condition. The
bodies of the mother and two children
have been recovered, but the others
have been carried down the river.
The death of Frederick Hermann
Kragher a lad of 11 years, was reported
last Wednesday at the New York Bu
reau of Vital Statisics, from hydropho
bia. The boy's parents are German and
live in West Forty-third street. He
was bitten by a mad dog April 2, but
the wound healed under medical care
and no ill effects were' exjerienced
from it until he took sick on Sun
day with symptoms of genuine hydro

continued until the boy died.

FOSTER AGAIN NOMINATED FOR GOV
ERNOR SPEECH BY JOHN SHER
MAN. Cleveland, June 8. Senator Sher
man was elected permanant chairman
or tne Republican State Convention
to-day and on assuming the duties
thereof made a short speech. He be
gan by saying that Governor Foster
was entitled to a reuomlnatlon for his
earnest canvass of two years ago, which
culminated In the election of General
Garfield as President of the United
States. After giving praise to Ohio as
a cosmoploitan State and a fair repre
sentative of the vigor, energy, Intelli
gence and morals of the American peo
ple, he said something would be ex
pected of him about the platform.
The platform of the Republican party
was what It has done. He then gave
a brief review of the history of the
achievements of the party for the laj-t
twenty-five years, and said the Re
publican party Intends still further to
advance the public credit, still further
to reduce the public debt, and to see
that every citizen in the whole land is
protected in all his rights. Continu
ing, he said:
There are some other things, my
country men, about Ohio politics. We
have no room in this country for a
leader that commands and dictates.
We have a great people. Our Conven
tions are gathered from all parts of our
broad State, brought here as free men.
There never has been, and there never
will be room for a primate or boss, j
The man who attempts it had better
make his will beforehand. And, fel
low citzens, I congratulate you upon
the auspicious opening of the Admin
istration of James A. Garfield. We
know office-seeking is undoubtedly
the proper pursuit of mankind. There
may be some disappointments because
there are fewer places to fill than men
willing to fill them. But iu the main
the general principles and policy of
this administration are in harmony
with the aspirations of the Republican
party. The financial policy of the last
Administration has been supple
mented by the reduction of the rate of
interest on $500,000,000 of the public
sureties, from S.and 6 per cent, to 3J
per cent. This wise measure has been
carefully and most skillfully managed
by Secretary Windom, an Ohio boy.
They are saving $15,000,000 a ycar.and
now the debt which frightened brave
men fifteen years ago has melted away
like snow before a summer sun. It no
longer frightens the timid, and now
the tax on whisky will pay the inter
est on the public debt. Now, my fel
low citizens, I have already said per
haps all that was necessary. That the
people of Ohio are satisfied with the
Administration, I believe, as it is now
stands. I believe I can say In advance
of the resolution that has been or will
be offered, that General Garfield has
the emphatic approval of the Republi
cans of Ohio in the course he has pur
sued thus far. Let him further ad
vancethe public credit;let hiin punish
all who do wrong; let him give us an
Administration pure, simple and re
publican, worthy of a nation like ours,
and we will send him our approval
twice over again. But, my country
men, we have something to do in this
task. We have got to emphasize our
approval by indorsing this adminis
tration in the election of the Republi
can ticket this fall. Let us, then, do
our part. Work as Republicans of
Ohio know how to work and victory
will perch on our banners.
The following ticket was, chosen, all
but Richards and Longworth being
rcuominations:
Governor Charles Foster.
Lieut. Governer-J. G. Richards.
Treasurer Joseph Turley.
Supreme JudgeNicholas Longworth.
Att'y General...George K. Nash.
The platform adopted Indorses the
Administration of President Garfield
and of Governor Foster, congratu la-
ting the later on the successful refund
ing of the State debt at a rate less than
8 per cent, interest. Ths temperance
plank is as follows :
Resolved, That the public interests
requires that the General Assembly
should submit to a vote of the people
such amendments to the Constitution
of the State relative to the manufac
ture, sale and use of intoxicating liq
uors as shall leave the whole matter
to Legislation.
Stopping Gross Extravagance.
Washington, June 8. The Star Ser
vice Investigating Committee have
to-day discovered another instance of
what tbey regard as gross extrava
gance in the expenditures for mail
service in the southwest and have sub
mitted a recommendation which, when
carried into effect by an order that
will shortly be issued by Postmaster
General James, will, iu the judgment
of the postal authorities, result in an
additional saving of $100,0ou per
annum to the Government, without
in any degree crippling the postal
service. The details are withheld to
await the issuance of the order. Presi
dent Garfield, in view of the highly
satisfactory progress already made, by
the committee in the line of discover
ing opportunities to cut off useless
contracts and the detectiou of the
methods by which such contracts were
obtained, remains undisturbed by the
criticism of his approval of the per
sonnel of the Commission, and expres
ses himself as more than ever deter
mined to sustain the Attorney Gen
eral and the Postmaster General in
their untrammcled conduct of the en
tire investigation.
At a second meeting of the Com
mon Council held at their own rooms,
they straightened up, reconsidered
their resolution of last week, and un
animously resolved to instruct their
wives to trade only at the New York
("STOKE.
England is not the only country
"on whose dominions the sun never
seU." The United States claim the
same distinction. When the sun is
setting on the confines of the Bchr
ing's Sea it Is always beaming brightly
in Maine. From the farthest eastern
point of our county, at Eastport, Me.,
to the Aleuden Isles the distance is
197 degrees of longltltude or seven

globe.
Venor seems to be a sure weather
prophet so far. His last prediction for
June reads : "Cool and cloudy gen
erally, with frequent rain-falls up to
the Cth or 10th ; an occasional warm
day, and frosts probable about the 7th
and 8th. On the 10th, lltli and 12th
there" will be a storm period, with
muggy weather, hall and thunder
storms; on the 13th and 14th, fair
summer weather, with cool nights ;
15th to the 18th, cool, unsettled,
showry weather; 10th and 20th,
warmer weather, with increasing heat
up to the 2oth; 25th to 28th, a storm
period, with sultry weather; on the
29th and 30th, cooler, with chauge in
the weather. The foregoing forecast
will probably hold good for a large
portion of United States."
