Dr. Koliit Auu'.cy Brown, a l'rrt
byterian minister cf Laurence Co
fjr Governor, and Llijab Y. Tcnnv
packer, a farmer, cf CLcster county,
Kr tate irca;urcr. lucre were
tweuty-two coucties represented by
B'xtr deleatcs.
Tnr. Treasury Department has de
termined to discontinue tbe practice
of rc-'s.-uing cctcs cf a larger de
nomination tLan twenty dollars.
Where it is ncccs.ury to iVsue notes
for u liieber amount, the number cf
rich note will be recorded Thin is
in ce:.sc(tucncc e! the recent thefts
in that department.
The Maryland courts Lave just de
cided that the driver of a vehicle on
the hiLway has the right to pass
another traveling the same direction,
but at a slower gait; that the latter
is bound to give the former half the
road to enable Lini to pass, end that
if be doos nut he will be liable for
any areident that may Lappen.
Tunic i lo disguising the Tact
thatlLe Democrats are sadly disap
pjinted at the reception of hc Re
publican ticket by the people through
out the county. They expected a
general row over the nominations,
ad Lave for weeks done their level
b.st to breed one. Instead of trou
ble tLcy find a general and cnthusi
itic endorsement of it, and a univcr
fcal determination to put it through.
fc'U' t.etarv llnisrow hi3 caused
tie arrest of iLe entire Crisi ol II. F
Clafiin & Co., eous-diog of vme 1 I
mcruliorj, one of tLc leading import-)
dry poods Louses of New xorK,
and tic grand jury Las indicted tLeia
on tbe charge of smuggling. Each
was bold to bail in $20,000 to stand
Lis trial. Two or three oilier persons
have been held in similar bail on a
like charge. It, is said that there
will soon be other developments of a
startling nature, implicating other
leadinr houses, custom house official.-4,
ic, in ccr.s'jiring todef
defrau 1 the Gov-
eminent in a similar way:
lioss Tweed Las at last won a le
gal triumph. On Tuesday the New
York Court of Appeals decided that
the cumulative sentence of fourteen
years imprisonment imposed on him
bv Judse Davis, on fourteen differ
ent counts in one indictment, wa3 il
legalthat there could be but one
sentence (a year's imprisonment) on
the entire indictment and that hav
ing already pcrved a full Year in the
penitentiary he runst lie released.
lie will, however, be immediately re
arrested on a charge of forgery and
number of civil suits, in which he
will have to five heavy bail or go to
jail.
Gv. Hartranft has, in accord
ance with the act of 1:."), providing
for ihc selection of Cre suitable per
sons from different fections of the
State who are familiar with its re-
sonrre?, art, products, history and
capabilities, who shall constitute a
Stale board to act with the United
Stairs Centennial Commission end
the Commissioner and Alternate for
Pennsylvania, appointed the follow
ing gentlemen as a State licard of
Centennial Managers: Marlon Mc-
Michacl, of Philadelphia; Andrew
G. Curtin. of Delefonte: J. II. Shoen-
bcrgor, of Pittsburgh; George Scott,
ol Catauissa. and .Foster Wilson
Mitchell, of Franklin.
The St. Louis tilohc-lHinmrat
says that when Hartranfi was a can
didate thitc rears aero, Mr. MtClure
warned tLe people cf Pennsrlvania
that Lis election would be the inau
uration of a reign of robbery and
corruption throughout the fctatc.
Now Le says that his administration
has been a'l tLat personal purity and
integrity could suggest. Mr. Mc
Clurc wiil Cnd cat that it is a difficult
thing for an editor to keep up a show
ing of "independence" while he has
a bie: load of personal bile on his
stomach.
The State Democratic Convention
of Ohio Las placed its "banner" in
the hands of tbe present Governor,
William Allen, with ' Gen." Samuel
F. Cary as candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. Allen is a Uourbon, ana
Lis reuomination is a distinct triumph
of the reactionary element of the par
ty. Cary is a demagogue, and a man
who neither is nor deserves to be
popular ia Ohio, where Le is known.
These candidates are placed on a
strictly inflationist platform, which
does not speak well for Mr. Thur-
man's influence iu Lis party in bi
own Slate. If tbo Ilepublicans of
that State d net elect their ticket
next fall, it will lie because Lard times
Lave so fr demoralized ihc people-
that they are too listless lo take the
trouble of -lee tin; Crstrale men over
second rale ones.
Fr.NATC.n MouTiix draws
picture of the South, and
a vivi d
it is as
wretched as vivid. In the course of
an interview with a correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazelle, Le said,
after leaving I'iehmond: "He did
not see a i i 1 1 ' 1 e-balf
as pretentious as tLe average farm
houses in Indiana. There were no
cvideuccs of taste, thrift, or prosper
ity. During a ride of 210 miles
through Mississippi, Le saw only one
white man at work. Hundreds of
thousands of negroes were plowing,
and otherwise engaged, but the white
men wore not to le Ecen outside of
tbe cities and the larger towns. Des
olation nnd destitution seemed to
stalk over 'the land, lleing accus
tomed to see well cultivated farms,
the fine farm buildings, the upright
fences, the white school houses, and
stccplcd churches of tbe Northern
States, it was really painful for Lim
to lock upon such scenes as were
presented to his eye wherever Le
went or whichever way he looked.
The plantations were poorly cultiva
ted, or uct cultivated fit all. Fences
were dilapidated, and the Louses for
the most part were hovels."
WAMLD. A M.ATIOBJI
A political part v is generally safe
enough jo lung as it is in the minority
and engages in attacking the admin
istration in power, exposing its errors
and fhortcomings, nnd picking out
all the frauds and corruptions which
all governments carry iu their train.
Lui Jei mat party get into power
itself, let it be clothed with the attri
butes and responsibilities of govern
ment, let It be asked to mark' out a
policy of its owe, and then begins its
trouble?. Such is tbe present ejuan-
dary cf tbe Democratic party. For
fifteea years it has been out of power.
It Las denounced without ccasin?
everything done by the Republicans.
It has assailed everybody in office as
corrupt cr imbecile or despotic. It
has ridiculed the statesmen cf the
dominant parly and eulogized its
own leaders as Transcendent states
men, and those who believed in all
these outgivings must Lave fancied
that ile men entrusted with office
were a set of low tricksters bent on
nothing but power and pelf.
Kut now comes a change. The
Democrats Lave carried twenty-seven
Sutes. They Lave commtnd of Con
gress od of most f t ie State govern
ments. What do they propose to do ?
Let us know something of the splen
did statesmanship 0f those Democrat
ic leaders who were so4bold and free
in their criticisms of Rcppublicaa
policy, and who were held up before
us as models of political wisdom and
patnoUcm. here arc the measures
by wLicb they arc going to remedy
lie untold miseries and evils of He
publican rule ? If this great Nation
tructed anew after
is now to be recons
the- ideas of the Democratic party,
let us In wbat lLose ideas arc.
We rea- ii. democratic journals at
tentively but in vain to discover
'seme pUu of action, some distinctive
measure, some avowed policy. There
is none. The whole party is more at
sea than the Ilepublicans ever were.
We caa find no living priaciplcs, no;
National issues, no fixed policy, no
broad and comprehensive measures.
Everything is vague, indistinct, and
shiftless. Indeed some of the lead
ing Democratic journals arc so con
scious of the fact that they attempt
to show that at tbe coming session of
Congress nothing should be done but
investigate, tbouirb little
else
Las
been done for years past.
Here, then, the weakness of the
concern stands confessed. It has no
policy. It Las been casting about in
search of one, but without success.
It is afraid of every issue of which
it threatens to become the pack horse.
It is afraid of free-trade, afraid of
the dangerous tendencies of the re
constructed Confederates, afraid of
the bigotry of its Catholic cohorts,
afraid of the State rights issue, afraid
of civil service reform. And cf what
is it in favor? Can any one tell us?
We Lave industriously searched the
Democratic journals, but there is no
such thin? as a Democratic creed. It
lias vanished entirely. Gcrmanhun

TIES or THE EV EM Nil.
Rostov, June 13.-Few cf theoOO-,
000 inhabitants of Roston, or of tbe
100,000 strangers who were quar
tered in the city last night, needed
the clangor of the church bells cr the
IU under of tbe salutes of cannon to
arouse them at sunrise to-day. Tbe
whole town was astir at early dawn,
and the whistles of the locomotives
that brought heavily laden trains in
from tbe suburbs Lad already begun
to resound across the causeways on
the north and south of tbo city. All
the freight business on all the rail
roads that enter the city is suspended
to-day, and tLeir passenger-carrying
capacity is taxed to the utmost. As
early as eight, some of the troops be
gan to assemble on Roston Common,
in preparation for the great review
of the entire body of active Massa
chusetts militia by Governor Gaston,
and the sidewalks and even the car
riageways in all tbat neighborhood
were densely thronged. The decora
tions of the Common and of all the
surrounding streets, are wonderfully
effective. There are no puritanical
ueutral liuts of color. Ralconies,
flag-staffs, arches, pavilions and even
the trees are all resplendent with the
gay and brilliant "Red, White and
Llue."
After an early breakfast, I have
walked over the latter part of the
route which the procession w ill fol
low before it reaches Runker Hill.
The decorating of Washington street
extension, from Cornhill on towasd
the Charles river bridge, is as effec
tive as that around the Common
The entrance of the bridge is spanned
witn a lie arcb, and appropriate
inscriptions appear there, ond at va
rious places throughout Charleston,
informing strangers of localities in
their relation to the evcat3of the bat
tle. Rut I notice comparatively few
sent mental lmottoes. ihc arch is
inscribed: "Charles river. Rritibh
sloop of war lay in this river and
cannonaded Charlestwn." At Moul-
ton's I'oint there is . an inscription
pointing out the landing place cf the
Rritish troops and giving tbo hour
of their disembarkation. The re
doubt on Rrced's hill, where the mon'
umcnt stands, the line of the rail
fence tlopinp: to Mrstic and the
place on Runker Hill where an at
tempt was made to forify, and where
i utnam tnea in vain to rallv the re
treating Continentals, arc ali in
scribed and are marked out as dis
tinctly as the changes in the levels of
the ground and its occupation with
dwellings will allow.
The pavilion in which Judge De
vens is to speak, covers a great part
oi tne gTass plat near the monument,
and booths and pavilions of all kinds
so encumber the neighborhood that
the place is hardly recognizable. .
The Erst feature of marked interest
in ine city proper, was a grand re
view by Governor Gaston and in
vited guests of the State and citr. of
the enure body of militia, home and
visitiog, at the State House, Major
Oeneral L. r. Rutler commanded
toe review, iiiiswas set lor nine
I . rr m
o'clock, but it was not till after elev
en that tbe right of the procession
was seen leavinjr the parade on the
Common. A large stand was erect
ed on the sidewalk, from which Gov
ernor Gaston, the Legislature and
invited guests reviewed the troops.
TLe State troops were Veil received,
but tho genuine enthusiasm was re-
aerved for the Tisitinf? Roldierr
especially the Philadelphia regiment,
the New York Seventh, the Mary
land Fifth and the Charleston Light
Infantry. Tho Maryland regiment
bore tb elegant Ca presented to
them yesterday, and as it passed by
the stand, with the Marine Rand at
its head, playing "Hail to the Chief,"
was greeted with three cbecrs. Gen
eral Uawley proposing thera. Tbe
re"view lasted one hour and a half
and it is estimated that there were
from CI teen to twenty thousand troops
in line. Tbe military division of the
procession was over two Loprs in1
patsiog the State House, and was spontaneous euthusiasra which char
the finest display ever made by the ' seterized the entire tuarch of to-day.
State mi'iti.i. Among the distiu-j " Succeeding Ucncral Sherman, Gov-
Ipuished guetts, were members of the '
Diplomatic Corps, ice J resident ;
Wiison, Generals Sherman, DurusideT
and llawlcy, the Chief Justice of i
UtDe Supreme Court, the Governor, ;
Congressmen and senatcrs . from
Maine and Massachusetts, and ..the,
Governors of New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New Jersey,
rennsvlvania, Michigan and Missis
sippi. . ? I: '
The formation cf the rand pro
cession was a work cf great magni
tude, and hardly a street of any. ac
count was without its section cf ' tbe
pageant in preparation,.,, The streets
tnrougn w iucn tac precession was to
pa3 were roped off at tLo cods, and
no vehicle were allowed ia tbom
during the e ntire day. At one o'clock
the line was complete and the march
for Charlcstown began. Tbe streets
wero one vast ma.-s of people), and
on Columbus avenue, through which
the rroccssion first marched, there
were cot less than 50,000 . people
Such a eight has eeidora been wit
nessed ia the countryand nevtr be
fore in this city. Every .bouse on
the avenue was dccoralcd with fags,
streamers,- banners . or appropriate
mottoes. The enthusiasm cf the
people was unbounded, and manifest
ed itself by eteers, the clapping of
hands and waving cf handkerchiefs.
Seats bad been erected along the
streets sufficient :to accommodate
thousands of persobs, and tbo . win
dows of bouses were filled by ladies,
who iuaaiJested their enthusiasm by
waving their .handkerchiefs. . , "
The grand column was organized
as follows: The Second Drigado,
General Geo. A. Pearson command
ing, bad the right of the line, follow
ed by the First end third brigades.
Xext came the vuitin? troops, who
were received with rounds ofappiause
at cverv point. The next division
comprised the country and State
governments, with tLeir respective
guests. Colonel Chase ' E. Fullan's
division was escorted by tbo. Massa
chusetts Comruandery of the Loyal
Legion, and consisted cf carriages
with the orator and chaplain of the
day. Justices of the Massachusetts
Supreme Court, United States ofii
cers, various civd societies and vete
rans of 1312. ;
The greatest interest wa3 manifest
ed ia tie 1 our'ih, or veteran, division,
under tLe mureLalsLip cf Colonel
Thomas L Livcrmore, as it contained
all the old organizations, including
ex-Confederates, toward , whom
everybody appeared desirous of. show
ing tho warmest attention. , Nearly
a'l the ore-anizations in this diris:oa
antedate the Revolution. TLo Ros
ton Ancients, Lavingjust celebrated
their 23Sth anniversary- and Laving
served under the old Colonial Gov
crncrs, led tLe division.- Immediate
ly following were the guests to whom
Rostonians desired to do tLc Louors
of a revived brotherhood. - tbe
Washington Light Infantrv, of Char
leston. S. C and the Norfolk Artil
lery Rlues, of Norfolk. Ya. The
recoernition all aloni the route, from
their entrance into Colurabus'avenue
until their withdrawal with the other
veteran organizations, at Ilavmarkct
Square, was one continued ovulion,
and but for a chaDgc of position in
the line from tho advertised pro-
erammo. the demoustrations over
their appearance might havo inter
rupted tho progress of the division,
so anxious were the ieoplc to . tender
them tho baud of fellowship. The
celebrated Eutaw battlo flacr. borne
in the ranks of the Charlcstonians,
rendered their identity, when abreast
of the multitude, unmistakable, bow
ever, and the public expressions wore
of the Leartiest description.
The Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and
EigLth divisions consisted of Lexing
ton minute men. cadets from various
New England towns, Roston scLool
rejriments, posts of the Grand Army
of the ' republic, Knights of Pythias,
Ancient Order of Hibernian?, Catholic
Total Abstinence societies, the Order
of United American Mechanics and
many other organizations.
The Ninth division was made up
wholly cf representations cf the trade
and business of the citr, irany lead
ing mercantile bouses, as well as the
arge mechanical establishments, : con
tributing cars and wagons laden tvith
goods and implements. In many in
stances the processes were shown by
men actually at work. I cere were al
together over 700 wagons, drawn by
2.000 horses. The brewers alone had
100 teams in line. .
The procession was four hours and
ten minutes passing a given point,
and was estimated at ten miles in
length, i TLe decorations along the
route were generally elaborate, i The
greatest private displays were made
in Columbus avenue (were also stands
for school . cbillrco, Chester
Park, . Washington . and Tremont
streets; yet much was done in the
business section through which tbe
precession passed. TLc public build
ings, places of historic interest, the
clubs and hotels.on the line cf march
were tastefully faced with bunting,
and there were bits of history ia-crib-cd
upon some. The old State House,
near the scene cf tie Roston massa

tho procession passed under a tri
umphal arch, bearing the honored
names of rrescott, Knowlton, Stark
and Pomeroy, the heroes of Runker
Hill, and festoons of laurel were
Lung frora the pillars, on which were
painted scenes of tbe battle. The
City Hall in School street, was faced
with portraits of arrcn and Put
nam, with surroundings indicative of
the part they bore in tbe initial strife.
Inconsequence of the delay inttirt
ing the procession, the commemor
ative exercises at the monument were
begun at a much later hour than was
intended. It was not until six o'clock
that tbe large audience in the mam
moth tent erected on the Lill was call
ed to Order, and in consequence the
exercises were curtailed to about one-
sixth of the original programme.
George TVasMnirton Yrattcn presid-
sided, and introduced General Charles
Devena.Jr., as the orator of the day.
Tho oration was confined to a graphic
description of tbe battle and an , elo
quent appeal for tho burial cf all po
litical animosities engendered by the
late war. : v ' ; - . . . ? s -
Mr. Warren, President of the Ran
ker Hill Monument Association, gave
a historical Bketch of the Society, clos
ing his "remarks ljy; introducing Gen
eral Sherman. " la the eoars of his
speech, General Sherman stated that
to-day's pageant surpasses anything of
the kind be Lad ever before neen. 1
While the review cf his own army
in Washington, at the close of the
war, exceeded it in numbers, yet it
was ' lacking in many of the attrac
tive features of to-day's procession,
andbesides there -was a lack of the
t - rnors llartranft, of Pennsylvania,
lic-oic, ofNew Jersey, Ingersoll, ot
Connecticut, , Kingly" of Jiaine and
- Yice President Wilson made short
addresses. ' Speaker Elaine and hen-
ator Ferrr' were anions' the distia
guisbed people present. Darkness
caused an abrupt termination of the
exercises, and the audience was di
misscd with the benediction.
The number of - strangers in . the
city during the day, is estimated by
pariies consistent to judge, at be
tween 300,000 and 350,000. , About
half of tbeso depart to-nigut, nearly
all the transportation faciliiie-3 of the
railroads having been massed in tbe
city for that purpose. . Long before
the procesaiun ended thousands of
visitors rushed through the streets to
the depots, wbcra they found even
standing room in the cars was not
obtainable. Train after train was
dispatched, and still the throng about
the depots and filling all avenues
thereto, seemed rather to , increase
thai diminish. At a late hour many
thousands, unable even to reach the
depots, were compelled to postpone
their departure until to-morrow.
This evening an informal recep
tion, given by tho Massachusetts
Commandery ef the Loyal Legion of
the United States to General Sher
man, at tho Parker Horse, was large
ly attended by distinguished guests
and military visitors. 1 ue exercises
wero purely informal and exceedingly
pleasant.
Tho Fifth Maryland Regiment

. PiTT.-uuuiii. June 19. The large
short and cua factory of
Uown & Son, containing also the
workshons of several different me
chanics, the larce business cslab-
liaha-.cnt of tie ' firm, together with
two other mercantile establishments,
were totally destroyed, together with
several stables and other out build
in2S. while a number of buildings
were damaged by Ere, and, as
nec?ssarv consequence, considerable
damaee was dene to goods by water
Rown's buildings together stood
ia the shape of a T. The doub!
stores front in on Wood street, south
of Yirgin alley, forming the stem,
and the immense manufactory in the
rear, running from i.'gin alley,
parallel with Wood street, toward
Fifth avenue, in the rear of the old
Franklin Hall building, forming the
cross.
The Gre was discovered shortly be
fore Bix o'elpck. Crst itia beileved, by
Mr. Daniel Carter, shoe dealer in
one of the store rooms under Frank
lin Hall, where he slept. Mr. Car
ter says he was awakened by the
cracking of burning timber, and opon
locking out through the rear window
hc found Rown's manufactory in
flames. He immediately called "fire
upon Fifrh avenue, expecting to
catch a policeman who could open
an alarm box and give tLe signal of
danger. A stranger passing first
heard the call and ran to tbe May
or's office. Mayor McCarthy hap
pened to be there and be at once
notiCed the operator in the fire
alarm office and box 24, corner of
Fifth avenue and SmitLfield str. et,
was struck.
Engine Companies 1, 2 and 3, Hook
and Ladder Company "A" and Hose
Company 1 promptly responded
By the time the Lose had been laid
and the water started tbe wholo of
the south end of the factory buildio
was in Ilames, while the other por
tion of it was so filled with smoke as
to render it impossible to do any
work inside. It was found nccessa
ry to get tbe Lose at play from tbe
top of the Wood street boildiugs, and
to do this more men and ladders
were wanted. A second and third
alarm ivere sounded bringing more
engine companies, but before they
conld get to . work the names had
communicated to other buildingf,
and in view cf the threatened dan
ger of an extended conflagration
the whole department was summoned.
As stated, the' flames spread
through the factory with great rapid
ity, and until the roof fell ia they
were Lard to get at. The great
height of a portion cf this building,
six stories, was also a hindrance,
while the constant falling -of heavy
machinery through the floors caused
alarm. When the roof of the build
ing fell aa immense flame shot tip in
to the air while hundreds of huge
pieces of burning wood floated about,
endangering the whole neigborboe-d
and lighting several cf tho buildings.

Galveston, June 15. A special
despatch from Rrownsville to the
Xeics sires tbe following in reference
to the fight between Capt. McNeely's
detachment of State troops and a
band of cattle thieves, below Browns
ville. on the 12th instant, in which
twelve of the raiders were killed
One of the raiders escaped. Ho was
wounded and feigned death, and
crawled into the high gra3, where he
escaped notice. He is now in Mata-
moras, and yesterday had the ball
extracted from his wound. The casu
alties of tho raiders sum up twelve
killed and one wounded. They lost
besides, eleven horses and saddle3
and all their arms, consisting of pis
tols and repeating rifles. Private o.
R Smith, of the State troops, who
was killed iu the fight, was buried
yesterday. There was a large funer
al nroeassion. soldiers and citizens
generally turning out. Colonel Mcr
rian, of the regular army, and Colonel
Ford acted as marshals, ine ue
coased received military burial. Cap
tain McNeely was unable to pursue
th raiders under Ricardo I lores, be
cause his horse.3 were broken down
by bard service.
General Cortina is incensed at the
killing of his cattle thieves. The
Mexican papers say the raiders were
assassinated while asleep. Captain
McNeely says if thej were asleep he
don't want to find any of them awake
Cortina swears he will have revenge.
Cortina is arming and has been pre
paring for a fight for more than
week. He has received peremptory
orders to report ia person at the City
of Mexico.
General Friero lclt Monterey this
morning on the march to Matamoras
with 3.000 men. It is understood
tbat he comes to apprehend Cortina.
It is not known what the brigand
chief intends to do, but be is prepar
ing for some devilment' and will,
doubtless fight General Friero if he
thinks ho can whip him. He may
conclude to cross over to this sido of
the border line, place himself at tbe
head cf the Mexican squatters and
lay waste the country, and then re
cross to the Mexican side and get
pardoned by the supreme govcrment.
Tho troops here arc on the alert, and
the citizens of Rrownsvillc are adopt
ng defensive measures. No one
knows what a day or hour may
bring forth.
There is no doubt at all as to the
accountability of tbe Mexican author
ities for the enormity of the out
rages perpetrated by Mexicans and
for the dangers now threatening the
frontier. Some of the Mexican offi
cials are watching Cortina's move
ments with anxiety. Should ho suc
ceed, more than one of them will be
marched to the Taguna and shot.
They- are earnestly trying to put him
downnotfor what he has done to
Americans, but for wbat be may do
to themselves.

Cincinnati, June IS. Reports
from Urbana, Sidney, and other
towns in southwestern Ohio state
that about 1 1 o'clock thU a. m. there
was quite a severe shaking of tbe
earth in that region. In Sidney the
greatest part of the shelving in a
drug store was thrown to the floor.
A large number of buildings were
shaken very perceptibly, cracking
the walls, and the inhabitants, alarm
ed, ran out of the houses into tbe
streets. A large steam boiler was
moved nearly a foot from its origi
nal position.
TLe earthquake was very general

Indianapolis, June 18. A slight
shock of earthquake was felt here
this morning at about nine o'clock.
Ruildings wtre shaken to a consider

ports will show the effect at various
other points in this State and Ohio :
Anderson, Indiana. A very strong
shock wa3 felt, shaking all the build

Jeffersonville, Indiana. The sheck
was felt quite sensibly.
Yincennes. Indiana. The shock

Tbe I.ornsts nnd tbe Crop in Kamu.
Atchison, Kan., June 17 The
locusts throughout this region Lean
to tako flight on Friday last, and im
mense swarms of them were observ
ed in tho air moving in a northwest
erly direction. Their instinct seems
ta direct tbcm to travel northwest,
but occasionally unfavorable winds
drive them out cf their course. Yery
few of the pests now remain in this
place. Adrices from all parts of
Northwestern and Southwestern Kan
sas are to the effect that very few of
them Lave descended, and conse
quently the splendid crops throughout
that vast region are as promising as
before the locust3 came, and in fully
five-sixths of tbe State tbe prospects
for an immenso harvest vcre never
more favorable. It i3 estimated the
Arkansas Yalley will produce 2,600.
000 bushels of wheat, Northwestern
Kansas as much more in rye, barley
and oats, and tbe corn harvest prom
ises to be equally large.
Omaha, Neb. June 17 Reports
from various sections cf this State
show that tho grasshoppers continue
tneir lligut northwest m the same im
mense numbers. They hare alight

near West Point, North Rend, and a
few other points.
Tbe End of the Rnilroad War.
Philadelphia, June lo. The
Roard of Directors of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad this morning approv
ed of the basis of agreement with
the Raltimore and Ohio Railroad,
entered into at New York ou Friday
last, and telegraphed their action of
it to the Raltimoro and Ohio Rail
road Company, whose Roard i3 now
in session, but have not yet received
a reply.
LATER.
A dispatch from Raltimore states
that tho Raltimore fc Ohio directors
have ratified the agreement with the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and their dif-
icuities are settled.
It is understood that the agreement
i3 for a period of ten yearn, tho com
panies to agree upon moderate rates
between competing point3, which
wiil be maintained by both. The
coutract can only bo terminated by a
resolution cf the respective boards, a
special committee to be appointed by
each board, to whom shall l refer
red all matters cf difference, if any,
tbat may arise relative to the practi
cal workings of the agreement, and
with power to adjust all complaints
between the two companies. Tbe
Pa. It. R Co. opens its lice between
Philadelphia and New York to the
D. & O. R. R. oa the same terms
they give the other connecting roads
at Philadelphia.
This agreement, it is believed, will
be of a permanent character. It is
understood the details cf the agree
ment" will not be published.
The C'ropn.
Kansas Cm, June 20. From pur
ties just returned, as well as tLreugb
letters and telegrams, as to the crop
prospects ia Kansas, all agree that
the like was never before seen ia the
State. Heavy farmers ia the wes
tern part of the State are telegraph
ing here for harvest hands and com
plain that they cannot get men
enough to harvest. Harvesting in
Southern Kansas Las commenced,
and the average is immense. Some
of the comparatively new counties
claim a million bushels of wheat, and
a rongh estimate of the wheat in the
southwest is four to five million bush
els. Thisenormou3 crop will be more
than duplicated in the west and oth
er sections. The great fear is that
hands enough cannot bo obtained to
harvest the crop.
Specials from Central Missouri as
well as other parts outside of tbe
grasshopper belt are equally encour
aging. In the grasshopper belt an
enormous average of corn ba3 been
planted, more by fully fifty per cent,
than any previousycar. The frequent
rains at night and hot Eunny days,
which prevailed for a week or more,
have raised high hopes for a big corn
crop.
Firework Explosion tn Boston.
Roston, June 16. At three p. m. to
day a terrible explosion occurred in a
large two-story building on the
Marshes, near the corner of Kcmble

confused mass of inflammable mate
rial at once took Sre and wa3 entire
ly consumed before any asistanee
could be rendered by the fire depart
ment Six bodies, burned and
charred beyond recognition, were tak
en from the ruins. John Woods, a car
penter, who was at work near a win
dow, jumped ont and escaped. He
stated that a sudden presentiment
came over Lim that something was
about to happen, which prompted
him to escape. Ho had proceeded
barely twenty feet from the building
when the explosion occurred. Thom

Meelyn were rescued fom the ruins,
all seriously, if not fatally, burned
and bruised. The cane ol the explo
sion is unknown. Loss $50,000; no

The amount of cash annually tn
Land is between $:J,0,000 or $ 10,000,
but the most troublesome part of the
count will be tho fractional currency.
The books of Treasurer Spinner show
the amount ca band at the closo of

wiil be made to verify the statement
of the 30th of June before the new

The work of counting the money
will not be such a br;u!ean task as
has been supposed, and it is believed
that a force of ten or fifteen experi
enced counters can perform it in one
week. Tbo bonds held ia trust for
national banks, amounting to about
$400,000,000 will be taken from the
vault set apart for them and counted,
as well as all the money ia the cash
vault, including coin and fractional
