The famous old bible belonging
to the United Stales Senate, which
was stolen ome two weeks since,
has been returned. The thief prob
ably prefers the new version.
The public debt was reduced dur

prosperity of. the country, but the
careful financial policy of our Re

Tin: first new wheat of this year's
crop was received at St Louis on
May 1st, and was sold for $5.50 per
bu?hel. It was -qrown in Johnson
county, Arkansas, and is just one
month earlier than ever raised at
that point.
The Independents of Lancaster
courjty, who insisted on nominating
Senator Kauffman a chronic kick

candidate.
Roth the U. S. Senators from
Georgia are broken down in health,
and it is rumored will shortly resign.
Senator Ben Hill is slowly dying
from a cancerous affection of the

A National monument to the
memory of President Garfield is
now assured. The commission has
met with gratifying success in col

that enough can be raised to build
a most imposing memento to 'his
many virtues and of the people's
love.
A iTAKr.NTi.Y, Beaver for Governor
and Davies for Lieutenant Governor
will have a "walk-over" in the
Convention to-day. Major Brown
cannot a? yet "read his title clear"
for Supreme Judge, but with one
hundred votes, or thereabouts, to
start with, it looks as if his calling
and election were sure.
Lyxvh, the colored Republican
from Mississippi, was last week
seated in the House by a vote of 125
to S.'I. Justice has at last been
done the Republicans of the Sixth
Mississippi district. Fort Pillow
Chalmers, who has been allowed by
his Democratic brethren to usurp
the seat for the past two terms, was
defeated each time by many thou
sand votes.
That proposition of Mr. Wharton
Barker the Prince of the Philadel
phia " feather-heads to withdraw
General Beaver as a candidate, when
he has over three-fourths of the
delegates t: the State Convention
instructed and committed for him,
was a mijrhty cool proceeding. If

the party we would like to know
what " Bossism " means.
The prospect of a ticket satisfac
tory to both wings of the Republi
can party being nominated at Har
risburg, has created intense excite
ment among the Democrats, and the
press of that party is laboring dili
gently to prevent the breach from
being healed. They know that a
united Republican party will sweep
the State, hence their efforts to goad
the feather-heads into hostility to
General Beaver's nomination.
It apparently affords great com
fort to a few of the high kickers to
charge that the first proposition for
the conference of the Stalwart and
Indejendent committees came from
the Stalwart side, and is therefore
proof positive from their standpoint
that the growing power of the peo
ple is feared. Very well ! accepting
the charge to be true which it is
not it proves that the Stalwarts
desire peace for the sake of the par
ty, and puts upon the Independents
the responsibility of further strife,
and its consequences. A marked
trait of Stalwart Republicanism is
ite mngnanimity and devotion to
party.
Di rixu the war when a gold dol
lar was worth two dollars and fifty
cenU in greenbacks, the patriotic
"Jefferson" party made the North
roar with their bellowing for gold
for the soldiers. Now, when the
country is prosperous, when money
is rolling into the Treasury without
any citizen sensibly realizing the
source from whence it comes, when
the great Democratic debt is being
rapidly diminished, again the Dem
ocratic Jefferson-last-century-early-English
party shriek that the people
are "staggering," "burdens," in
the language of the immortal
u J. P.," must be lifted. Poor Dem
ocracy, the crazy old thing's condi.
tion is truthfully illustrated by the
story of the Irishman who was ask- j
ed upon his first landing to what
party he belonged, replying, "I'm
forninst the Government" The
Democracy of to-day and of the last
quarter of a century are and have
been " forninst the Government"
Ilarri&tirg Telfyrafh.
As was to be anticipated, the In-U-
dependent have determined not tOtothedar fixed fortlwNttuMiaU'nritoi
keep lakh, and the very next day
ader Lie Philadelphia conference, at
which all their demands were grant
ed by the Regulars, an address in
sisting upon the Independent State
Convention, called for the 24th of
this month, being held, was issued,
j and amorg the signers to the call are
Wharton Barker and I. P. Mckee,
two of the committee who participa
ted in and signed the resolutions of
the conference. That these two men j
at least are unreliable, treacherous, ;
and determined upon disrupting;
the party unless they are allowed to :
have their own sweet will, is proven j
by their actions. Professing to care
for nothing but principles after
procuring all the concessions they
asked they now shamelessly throw
off the mask and demand that they
be permitted to dictate the nomina
tions of the State Convention ; or to
use their own phraseology " Boss
the party." Feeling that their con
duct is indefensible, and knowing
that the honest members of their
faction will feel in honor bound to
abide by the result of the State Con
vention, provided it adopts in good
faith the results of the conference,
they meanly attempt to stab in the
back such of their colleagues as will
abide by their pledge, and advise
that there shall not be chosen as
delegates to the 24th of May Con
vention " any Pharisacial Independ
ents who preach reform, yet blindly
follow boss leadership, at the crack
of the master's whip ! "
The situation may now be sum
med up briefly as follows : General
Beaver will be nominated for Gov
ernor on first ballot by an over
whelming and probably a unani
mous vote ; those would-be " bosses "
know the fact, and knowing it, know
that their vocation as mischief ma
kers will be gone. This, their last
kick before the convention, is a fla
grant attempt to bully the delegates
out of nominating the peoples'
choice for Governor, and failing in
that, as they assuredly will do, they
will thenceforward play into the
hands of the enemy. The Indepen
dents who are Republicans from
principle will support the nominees
of the Regular Convention, the lines
will be drawn between Republicans
and Democrats, the would-be bosses
will carry on their little side show
for the benefit of the Democrats
during the campaign, and when the
result assures a Republican victory,
they will follow their antitypes,
Curtin and McClvre into the Demo
cratic eamn.
A coxKEUEXCE of the Regular Re
publicans of the State, represented
by Colonel M. S. Quay, General
Hartranft, Judge II. J. Reeder,
Thos. Cochran and Chris. Magee,
who had lecn designated as a com
mittee by Chairman Thoma? V.
Cooper, and the IndejM'ndents, rep
resented by Charles S. Wolfe, I. D.
McKee, J. W. Lee, Wharton Barker
and Francis B. Reeves, designated
by Senator Mitchell, at a meeting of
Independents in Philadelphia on
the 22d ult, took place in the Con
tinental HoteL Philadelphia, on
Saturday evening last, the objects of
the meeting being a solution of the
difficulties that are in the way of a
harmonious union of all factions in
the Republican party. The Inde
pendents presented their demands
in a carefully worded paper,, while
the Regulars seemed ready to con
cede all reasonable requests, and
presented a series of resolutions
covering the grounds of complaint
as heretofore set forth by the Inde
pendents. The meeting was held
with closed doors, and was contin
ued until midnight without a final
conclusion being reached, and an
other meeting was appointed for
Monday afternoon. On Monday
evening the conference again asscm
bled, Senator Cooper, Chairman of
the State Central Committee, taking
the place of C. L. Magee, who had
been called away by other business.
Messrs. Quay and Wolfe, the Chair
men of the Stalwart and Indepen
dent elements, to whom had been
referred the two papers presented
by the differing wings of the party
submitted to the conlerence with a
recommendation for their adoption
the following declaration of princi
pies and recommendations for the
future government of delegate elec
tions and changing the time of hold
ing State Conventions. After full
discussion they were unanimously
adopted and signed by all the mem
bers. The sum total of the results
as signed by the conference, is the
following:
.VWivrf, That we recommend the adopt i--it
of the following principles and methods !'
the Kepublican State Convention of May 1":
1. That we unequivocally condemn the
line of patronage to promote personal polit
ral cads, and require that all otiieea bestow
ed within the party shall be upon the sole
basis of fitness.
i. That competent and faithful officers
should not be removed except for cause.
3. That the non-elective minor officers
should be tilled in accordance with rules es
tablished by law.
4. That tiie ascertained popular will shall
lie faithfully carried outin Slateand Nation
al Conventions and by those holding oflice
by the favor of the party.
5. That we condemn compulsory assess
ments for political purposes and proscription
for failure to respond either to such assess
ments or to requests for voluntary contribu
tions, and that any policy of political pro
scription is unjust and calculated to disturb
party harmony.
tt. That public oflice constitutes a high
trust to be administered solely for the peo
ple, whose interest must be paramount to
those ofpenonsorpartiea, and that it should
be invariably conducted with the aam effi
ciency, economy and integrity as are ex
pected in the execution of private trusts.
7. That the Slate ticket should besoeh an
by the impartiality of its constitution and
the high character and acknowledged fitnea
of the nominees will justly commend itself
to the support of the united Republican par
ty. Ifaalrtd, That we also recommend the
adoption of ofthefollowinfrpcrmanent rules
for the holding of State Conventions and the
conduct of the party.
1. That delegates to the State Conventions

candidates lor the General Assembly are
nominated, except in Senatorial districts
composed of more than onecoanty, in which
conferees for the selection of Senatorial del
eprstes sball be chosen in the manner afore
said, and the representation of each county
shall be baaed noon its Reoublican vote.

The following resolution was adopted by
the joint conferenee :
Jieil.rd, That disclaim any authority
to speak or act for other persons titan oar
selves, and simply make these suggestions
as in our opinion essential to the promotion
of harmony and unity.
These resolutions embody a set of
principles which all true Republi
cans believe4n, and if they are car
ried out honestly and intelligently
will add to the strength and pros
perity of the party. The demands
of the Independents have been fully
conceded by the Regulars. So far so
good. Now let us see if the Inde
pendents will live up to them in
good faith, or again bolt the party if
the State Convention does not give
them all the offices they covet
"Principles" is what they have
claimed to be contending for, and
they have got all they claimed.
Now let us have peace.
The Burning of the Pittsburgh Court
House.
Pittsburgh, May 8. The Court
House, that great ungainly, unsight
ly, building, which has for years
scowled at its lowly neighbors from
its elevated perch on the hill, was
burned yesterday and to-day the
greater portion of it is in ruins.
DISCOVERY OF THeJfIRE.
The fire was first discovered at
twentv minutes past 12 o'clock.
Smoke was seen issuing from the
building simultaneously by two per
sons, John B. Sneathen, who was
walking up uraut street' and John
Sussman on Wylie avenue. Thev
both ran to strike an -alarm, and
three minutes later box 2G was pull
ed. Almost at the same time a man
named A. F. Taylor observed smoke
coming from the dome, and be ran
at once into the Court House, being
the second person on the scene.
Upon entering the rotunda he fonnd
a lunch and coffee stand located
there all on fire. This structure was
about ten feet long and eight feet
wide, a little larger than the ordina
ry street peanut stand and about the
same height 1 he nearest column
to this stand had caught fire and the
names were creepine rapidly up
wards. Mr. lavlorsays that even
then he observed a very small blaze
in the dome. The rotunda by this
time was pretty well filled with peo
ple, but they were powerless to do
anything towards extinguishing the
blazing restaurant as no water could
be found handy.
in response to the alarm the en
gines promptly arrived, but there
seemed to be some delay in getting
to work, and it is said fully fifteen
or twenty minutes passed before the
first stream of water was thrown.
As soon as Chief Evans came he
quickly recognized the imminent
danger which overhung the Temple
of Justice, and ordered second and
third alarms, bringing out two more
districts of the b ire Department
PROGRESS OF THE FLAMES,
In a verv short space of time the
fire inside the building had gained
alarming headway, and the cupola
was a mass of flames. At 1 o'clock
a dense cloud of smoke was arising
from the building, showing that all
the roof was burning underneath,
although the only fire then to be
seen from the outside was on the
great dome. The flames had burst
from all its sides and it looked very
prettv. It was not long, however.
until fire appeared in view on other
parts of the roof, and it seemed but
a question of twenty or thirty min
utes until the whole area would be
entirely enveloped in one great
blaze.
LOSS AXD INSURANCE.
Estimates as to the loss from the
fire at this time are mere random
guesses. Some of the county officers
think SU.UUU will cover it and oth
ers run it up to $200,000. When
evervthirtg is taken into considera
tion the latter figure is probably
nearly correct The insurance as
far as could he learned from the
Commissioners is as follows: City
$5,000, Western $5,000, Teutonia $5,
000, German American $5,000, Mo-
nongahela So.UOO, Birmingham to.
000x Armenia $7,000, Artisans $5,000,
Allemania 3,UW, Union $5,000. Na
tional $5,000, Citizens $5,000, a total
of $92,000. In addition to this
there are one or two policies placed
within the past year.
An Unwilling Witness.
Suxbury, May 4. The trial of
James Quinn, accused of felonious
assault ended in an unusual man
ner this morning. When Sarah
Heaton, the victim of the assault a
girl of fourteen years, was called she
refused to testify. The entreaties of
father, mother and friends availed
nothing, and when informed by the
judge that she would have to go to
jail if she eprsisted in her refusal to
testify, she said she preferred that to
sending the prisoner to the peniten
riary. The prisoner thereupon
sprang forward aiid proposed mar
riage to the girl. Business was sus
pended. A justice was called in and
the couple were united in wedlock.
The judge then instructed the jury
to bring in a verdict of not guilty,
which was done.

MELVILLE.
Thiist!- storv ofDe Long's fate
ends with i.c dread certainty which I
all have feared yet hoped against
From the night of September iz,
when on ptrtiDfcr with the other two
boats containing the remainder of the
Jeannette's crew, he waved at once
an adieu and an order for each to
make the best course she could for
safety, there have been just two
brief and uncertain glimpses of his
movements, like the view one gets
when a fog lifts a moment and again
shuts out everything in an impene
trable mist After the boats separa
ted, De Long with his thirteen men
landed at one of the mouths of the
River Lena, September 17. Thence
they traveled slowly southward, hav
ing two days provisions brought
from the boat, and killing game for
their immediate wants. On Satur
day. October 1, 1881, De Long wrote
a letter, which was found by Engi
neer Melville while making his
first search, and three other records
were found, containing little news,
howeyer. The first letter was as
follows:
Saturday. October 1, 1881. Four
teen of the officers and men of the
Jeannette reached this hut on Sep.
tember 28, and having been forced
to wait for the river to freeze over
are proceeding to cross to the west
side this morning on their jonrney
to reach some settlement on the Ie
na River. I have two days provis
ions, bnt having been fortunate
enough thus far to get game in our
pressing needs we have no fear for
the future. Onr party are all well
except Hans Eriksen, whose toes
have been amputated in consequence
of frostbite. Other records will be
found in several huts on the east
side of the river, along ' which we
have come from the north. .
George W. De Long.
Oh the 7th Eriksen, the frost-bit
ten sailor whose feet had been ampu
tated, died. At this time the party
were in erea distress for want of
food, and on the 9th Noros and
Nindemann, who were the two stron
gest of the party, were sent ahead to
look for help. On the 14th they
were met by some native fisherman
at point halfway to Bulun, the near
est permament settlement Thev
were then nearly dead from starva
tion, but Boon recovered their
strength, and on the 1st of Novem
ber they reached Engineer Melville's
party. Melvule immediately started
to search for De Long's party, and
spent three weeks in the Lena Delta,
hnding the letter above quoted and
the three other records but not sue
ceeding in discovering the men. As
winter was then coming on and the
natives refused to work any longer,
Melville returned to Bulun, and went
on to Yakutsk, a distance of about
110 miles to obtain Russian assist
ance and supplies. This journey
required about thirty-five davs, and
it was not until December 30 that
Melville arrived there. On the 27th
of January, 1885, he had organized
his search party, and started back.
Arriving in Bulun about the first
of March he took the route1 for Sis-
terneck, on the west bank of the Lena,
where he had found the last trace of
De Ing on his previous search
He reached the scene of close opera
tions about the middle of March,
and on the 24th their search ended,
as far as De long's party was concern
ed, by the lamentable discovery re
cited in his hrief dispatch.
The names of those lost are:
Lieutenant Commander George W.
DeLong, Passed Assistant Surgeon
James M. Ambler, Collins, Eriksen
(previously known to have died),
Gurtez, Dresler, Iverson, Kaach,
Boyd, Lee, Ah Sam and Alexei.
Those probably lost in Lieutenant

welL A Whole Family Poisoned.
Pittsburgh, May 4 Nine per
sons are dying in a house in Law
renceville, one of the suburbs of this
city, from poison. A negro named
Milton Frye, bought a quantity of
some kind of poison on Tuesday and
gave it to a young colored girl,
named Watkins, to be used by her
on the family table of Mrs. Rey
nolds, for whom Miss Watkins works.
What the poison was is net known,
but it was mixed up with Fome bis
cuits which were made by Miss Wat
kins yesterday morning, and these
biscuits were eaten last night at sup
per by nine persons who belong to
the Reynolds family oi board in the
house. They oon became so t larm
ingly ill that several physicians
were called in. Antidotes were ad
ministered, but without effect Mrs.
Reynolds will probably recover,
while the following will die : Ada
Reynolds, twelve years old ; Amy
Reynolds, five years old; Sadie Rey
nolds, fifteen years old; Charlie
Reynolds, eight years old, all chil
dren of Mrs. Reynolds: George Lo-
mix. Lomix and Andy Morris,
all colored, and George Gaines, white.
He Richly Deserved Hanging.
Erik, Pa., May 4. Edward Lan
ahan, formerly an inmate of the Sol
diers' Home at Dayton, was brought
here to-dav and arraigned for the se
duction of Emma Lanahan, not yet
fifteen years old, his own niece, and
the daughter of a dead Union Sol
dier. Little Emma has given birth
to a baby, and states that she was
debauched by her lecherous uncle
several years ago, and that she has
been compelled to share the same
couch with him ever since. Her
mother is dead, and her father left
her as a legacy to Lanahan when he
died from the effects of his suffer
ings in Libby prison. The -scoundrel
pleaded guilty and was fined
the full penalty for the offense, one
hundred dollars. The court and
community deeply regret the inad
equacy of the punishment fixed by
law. The young victim will be
cared for in the Soldiers' Orphan
Asylum.

Dcrlix, May 6. A terrible trag
edy occurred here U night- Lord
Frederick CavendUh. tin- ew Chief
Secretary, and Mr. i i..i Henry
Burke, th Under Siuvta ry, were
assassin;. Utl in Phu'tu Park. About
half past 7 o'clock they left the Un
der Secretary's lodge" to walk over
to the Chief Secretary's residence to
dinner. When within one hundred i
yards of the Phoenix Monument
they were attacked by four men
wearing slouched hats. It is sup-
posed that Mr. Burke was first as
sailed and stabbed through the
heart Lord Frederick Cavendish
attempted to defend him, but he,
too, was stabbed by the assassins.
They repeatedly plunged their knives
into the breasts of their victims, and,
having cut their throats, they got on
a car and drove rapidly from the
park by the Chapel-Izod gate.
Un examination it was lound that
Mr. Burke had received several
stabs near the region of the heart,
and his throat had been cut almost
completely across. His clothes were
absolutely saturated with blood, and
the hemorrhage must have been tre
mendous. His clothes were also
torn. His gloves had been torn in
many places, and -his hands bore
marks suggestive of a fierce encoun
ter with his assailants.
Lord Frederick did not wear
gloves. He had been stabbed in sev
eral places about the chest One
wound was through the right lung
and penetrated' deeply. When the
bodies were first found Lord Freder
ick Cavendish's lips were moving as
if he were trying to speak, but he
showed no further signs of con
sciousness. Lord Frederick Cavendish only
arrived in Dublin this afternoon,
along with Earl Spencer, the new
Lord Lieutenant He was present
at the installation ceremony in
Dublin Castle, and left there with
Mr. Burke, his fellow-victim, early
in the evening. After dinner Lord
rredenck Cavendish and Air. lhoni-
ww w-a r t
as iienry iiurke, under secretary
for Ireland, went for a walk in Phoe
nix Park. They were both strolling
along about half a mile from the
city gate and a quarter of a mile
from the Chief Secretary's lodge.
Lord Spencer and the Viceregal
party were just going down to din
ner at the lodge when the news wa3
sent to them. Some members of
the household were at the opera at
the Gavety Theatre and were sent
for. When the cause of their depar
ture was known the excitement was
intense, and a proposal was made to
stop the performance, whieli was
ultimately cut short
Mr. Burke had long been regard
ed with extreme disfavor by the Na-
tionalit-ts of Ireland.
An extraordinary Cabinet council
was convened to-dav.
Iindon society, beginning with
the Queen, whtsent a telegram of
condolence to the family of Lord
Cavendish, has made a demonstra
tion of svmpathv as remarkable as
that which occurred on the death ot
President Garfield.
Dublin, May 8. Foley, one of
the men who was first to see Ijrd
Cavendish and Burke after the as
sassination says that when he and
his companion, McGuire,rere oppo
site the Viceregal lodge they observ
ed men laying on the nmd, one the
right side and one on the foot
way. I saw that the man on the
footway had his throat cut and
shouted out: - "Maguire, it's mur
der !" He asked me was I sure. I
said 'yes," a and he said "don't
leave them ; 111 go for the police."
I then went to the man layiig on
the road and asked him a question
to see if he was alive. He merely
turned his eyes. By this time the
Royal Irish Constbulary arrived.
But little clue can be obtained as
to the assassins and . many arrests
are probable,
The House of Lords and Com
mons have adjourned until to-morrow.
A Foolish Youth's Suicide.
Atlanta, Ga., May 4. A roman
tic attempt at suicide occurred here
on Tuesday night Walter Holliday,
the son of a well-to-do commission
merchant and Miss Maud Kinner, a
pretty blonde of fifteen, a member
of one of the best families in Atlan
ta, were strongly attached up to
three days ago, when a quarrel oc
curred. On Tuesday night they
met at a quadrille party. Their
quarrel seemed to have been forgot
ten and nothing unpleasant occurr
ed until about t en o'clock, when Hol
liday wrote her a . note asking her
not to dance any more. She disre
garded his request an(l Holliday,
addressing her, said : "I want to tell
you good-by for the last time." She
said, "Good night" Holliday walk
ed out to the gate and shot himself,
the ball entering his breast and lodg

hourly expected.
Wonderful Discovery of Copper and
Silver.
Laramie City, Wy. T., May 4.
