The Somerset Herald. EDWARD 8CULL, Editor and Proprietor. WEDNESDAY. JlTll, wa. Trade dollars, like the Democrat ic party, are very much at a discount just no. The public has just three months fft in which to use ur its stock of three cent postage stamps. This is the kind of weather to make the corn grow, and ripen the splendid fields of wheat with which our country is blessed. Hex Bltler gives it as his opin ion that President Arthur, as a can didate for re-election, can unite the Itepublican party, if any one can. Di'RiNG the fiscal year just ended, there was an increase of 1G39 post offices established, over the number establMied during the previous year. Theke have been 20,000 claims pre sented to the Internal Revenue Bu reau for rebate of tax on tobacco and cigars. These claims aggregate about ?2 10,000. Di'Rixr, the month of June the National debt was decreased 618,- j 201 43, and during the fiscal year ended June 30, there was f 137, 823,2.13 21 of the debt paid. Five thousand emigrants, to re cruit the Mormon harems, are ex acted to arrive in 1 tali during this month. There is more evil to the government to le feared from these 5,000 Mormons, than from 50,000 pauper emigrants. The legislature is no nearer an agreement on the apportionment bills than it was when convened in extra session, and there is not any likelihood of a compromise, although it is given out that another extra session will be called if this one fails to pass the bills. Mr. Au.ex V. Turn max, the son of ex-Senator Thurman, in a pub lished letter, says he will not vote for Judge llov.lly, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio. He eays Judge HoaJlyis not a Demo crat, and of the two liepublican can didates he prefers Foraker. The Prohibitionists of Philadel phia have nominated a full county ticket Last fall the liquor men of the State held meetings in all quar ters, and passed resolutions not to support the Republican ticket be cause the Republican party was a temperance party. We suppose the Prohibitionists oppose it this year because it is a liquor party. The Republican State Convention meets in Harrisburg to-day, (Wed nesday.) It will doubtless place in nomination a ticket that will com mand the full support of the party. The delegates have all been chosen Under the rules adopted by the Har risburg Convention last year, and there is no chance for the grumblers to charge that there is a "elate" or a 'set up.n Something of an idea of the enor mous bulk of silver accumulated in the Treasury Department may be given by the statement that it weighs upwards of live thousand tons of two thousand pounds each. It would require five hundred cars to trans port it, allowing ten tons to a car, the ordinary car load. No wonder the department finds trouble to ob tain storage room for the money that won't circulate. Mr. Charles Emory Smith, who a few years since, migrated from New York to Philadelphia, and with the help of half a score of Demo cratic assistants, kindly undertook to reform and control the Republi can party of Pennsylvania, through the columns of the fres, is now ur gently insisting upon the necessity of holding all the primary elections of the party, for the selection of del egates to the State Convention, upon the same day, the naming of which shall devolve upon the Convention. For this sn?ffested tale, or rather proposition, to take charge of the primaries, not a single valid reason i has been urged, while the objections to it are as numerous as are the di-1 versified wishes, interests, or conve nience of the various localities and county organizations throughout the State. In this county, for instance, but a few years since, the Republicans as sembled in County Convention, ma tured and adopted a set of rules for the government of the primaries, and after full discussion, fixed upon the fourth Saturday ot June, as the day best suited to the interests of our farming community, for holding these elections. Doubtless other counties, for other good and sufficient reasons, have selected another date for this purpose, and will not change it merely to gratify the whim of a city political dillettante,who is labor ing to keep in the fore front of the party by agitating so called reforms. A year since the Vc was howling against "Bossism," and pleading for the unrestrained political action of the masses, and now it would dic tate to them in their primary assem blages. The party conceded too much when it assented to rules fix ing the methods of selecting delegates to State Conveiitions, and it is time to call a halt on further encroach ments in that direction. John Ran dolph's youthful face induced the Speaker, when he came forward to take the oath of office, to inquire his aire. ''Ask my constituents," was the reply. And so will it be one of these days, when delegates to the State Convention are interrogated as to the rules observed in their election. The credentials of a delegate being unchallenged bv his constituents, we would like to see the convention that would undertake to exclude him, because of non-observance of rules dictated by that convention for the observance of the vo'ers in their primary meetings. The further cen tralization of political power is not what the Republicans of the State are just now longing for. naked, dirty children, many ofwhoml The Dauphin c.nty Aim. How were illegitimate, born in a work house, and have known heretofore no other home. Many of the men were gray haired and bent, and al men, women and Children bore the unmistakable marks of chronic pov. erty. Five of the heads of families promptly acknowledged to having come directly from a work house ; three of them are married women, each with a litter of most unprom ising offspring. One of the immi- grants volunteered the information that recently 700 paupers had been 6ent to various ports in this country from County Kerry, Ireland. There is but one course for the Govern ment to pursue, and that is to re ship these assisted immigrants at once. The poor creatures will get at least the benefit of a voyage, and the 2 or 3 paid them by way of bo nus by the British authorities. There is no doubt but that Europe has been unloading more or less of her paupers upon us for many years. We can stand a good deal of it with out flinching, but this wholesale in undation is an abuse of American hospitality. Senator Stewart and his unwise friends are making him a good deal too prominent just now. Mr. Stew art was advertised a good deal last year, and the result proved that the public had but little confidence in him. He used his position as a Re publican to put the Democracy into power, and the manner in which he did it was far from creditable. To put him forward as a Republican leader and oracle is the very worst of jx)licy, and can only result in serious damage both to the party he now professes to adhere to and himself. Lancaster Inquirer. Totally Destroyed by tire. Shot Dead From a Car. Some of the Republican journals having summed up the amount of the appropriations passed by the late Legislature, and announced that they exceeded those of the Republi can Legislature of 1SS1, by some $10,XK the Governor has gone to work assiduously, and with his little veto hatchet, chopped off about the amount of the surplusage. Our esteemed coteraporariea have discovered that it is not safe to hol laa before you are out of the woods. Oct of sir hundred and seventy bills on the calendars of the Senate and House during the regular ses sion of the Legislature, two hundred and hfty -three passed finally, and of these one hundred and ninety three became laws, and sixty have been vetoed by our Reform Gov ernor. It would save time, trouble and expense if his Excellency would furnish members at the commence ment of the session, with a list of such laws as he desired to have en acted, and would approve. Ex-Sexator Thckmax, the leader ' of the moss-back Democracy of Ohio, who was downed by the dudes in the last Ohio Democratic Conven tion, now declares that he '"regrets nothing so much as that he did not hold fast to the plow handles, and follow the avocation for which he had a natural bent that of a farm er.". It is strange how this, I wish I were a boy again, sentiment, comes to the politician in defeat Never theless, a sentiment like this, com ing from a man who had stood so near the top round of the ladder, ought to arrest the attention of farm--ers and farmers' sons, who do not appreciate the due worth of their calling. It must be confessed, how ever, that the sentiment would have Lad much greater weight had it been uttered by the distinguished gentle man from the height of victory, in stead of the slough of defeat So' soon after the Ohio Convention it cas the flavor of sour grapes. Mr. Rorert E. Pattisox. by the grace of God and the cussed ness of the Independents, Governor of Penn sylvania, having put a grievous bur den upon the people of the State, by calling an extra session of the Legis lature, in the hope of forcing them to an agreement upon the apportion ment bills, ujMjn which they had agreed to disagree after one hundred and fifty days consideration, is now posing as the snarling watch-dog of the Treasury. He hopes by vetoing the items in the general appropria tion bill granting pay to the House and Senate employes, to partly off set the expenses of the extra session. There seems to be a cast in the eye of his excellency, however, for while he saw and vetoed the item granting pay to the poor preacher who has to take the fearful responsibility of sup plicating grace and forgiveness of sins for the Democratic House, the item appropriating $1,135 to pay the contested election expenses of the Democratic Senator Wagner, in the Adams-Cumberland district, which the taithful watchdog might have treed, lawfully, on these two Demo cratic counties, never met his glance. The items vetoed amount to about $30,030, and will hardly balance, when the people come to settle the account, the couple of hundred thousand that the Governor must be charged with for the extra session. Fortvdxe applicants for positions in the Pittsburg jost office and de partments at Washington submitted themselves to a competitive exami nation in that city on Friday last. Each person had to furnish their own answers unassisted, and they were required to uiakeG5 per cent, in : order to succeed. The examination was conducted in writing upon prin ted blanks. Those seeking places in the post office were jequired to give the names of fifteen of the principal States and the names of as many cities. The questions in arithmetic were such as could be answered bv any school boy of ten years of age, the poser seeming to be "multiply 7,0Si, by 83." Those who were ap plicants for positions at Washington, in addition to the foregoing, were given several questions in arithmetic involving fractions, percentage, dis count and partial payments ; ques tions In grammar, geography and history, and required to define the authority and functions of the differ' eat branches of government, and to name the different departments and their duties. Only two of the appli cants failed to pass the examination. Those who have succeeded hare only s .1 , i i muae memseives eugiDie tor ap pointments. There are no vacancies in the post office. When one does occur, Postmaster McClury will no tify the board, and they will send him the names of the four highest on the list If none of these suit the postmaster they will give the names of the next four, and so on until he is satisfied or the list shall be ex hausted. In the latter case another examination will have to be held. Erie, July 4. This city was thrown into a state of great excite ment this evening by a terrible trag edy. About 5 o'clock, as Rose, the nine year old daughter of George S. Steiner, was standing on the side walk in front of her father's resi dence on Peach street, a pistol shot was heard and the girl suddenly fell to the ground dead, shot through the heart The shot came from the rear platform of a street car, and at the same moment Albert Kuhn, aged 22 years, was 6een to leave the plat form. As soon as the death of the girl became known two or three persons said they had seen Kuhn lire the shot lie was followed and arrested about half a dozen blocks from the scene of the tragedy. In the mean time he had thrown his revolver, a 32 calibre down an area where it was found with two chambers loaded. Kuhn was under the influence of liquor and had been celebrating the Fourtti by shooting ball cartridges promiscuously on the street Frank Kuhn, aged about nineteen, a brother of Albert, was also on the car at the time and disappeared with his brother when the shot was tired. After a three hour's search, his body was found hanging by the neck in the cellar of W. T. Hinder necht's grocery store, where he was employed. Some people think Frank did the shooting and then commit ted suicide on account of remorse, but the evidence at the inquest to night indicates that his brother fared the fatal shot. The inquest adjourn ed until to-morrow. A Plucky Uank Messenger. St. Louis, July 9. John Ger hauesser, messenger of the German Continental Bank, this afternoon felt somebody take a wallet, containing nearly 2,000 in money and several checks, from his pocket. He imme diately turned on the thief and clos ed with him, and after a quick and desperate struggle wrenched the wallet from him. The robber then broke away, and after a lively run, with young Gerhauesser in close pursuit, he escaped in a crowd and has not yet been captured. The af fair created a good deal of excite ment Kan Away With Hid Stepmother. Milwaukee, July 0. John S. Webber, a wealthy tanner, aged G2, of St Louis, lost his wife and mar ried a pretty girl of 13 against the wishes of his children. Shortly after marriage the son, aged 27, fell in love with the stepmother and they eloped to Milwaukee and took up their residence at a boarding house as husband and wife. The distract ed father-husband, after searching Chicago with detectives finally loca ted the elopers in Milwaukee. He confronted them, whipped his 6on and took his young runaway wife home. Sad Euding of a Pleasure Trip. Oct of 570 immigrant passengers landed in New York from a single eteameron Saturday, the Emigra tion Commissioner discovered that more than three hundred had been given their passage by the guardians of the toor in their untv in Trw I land. There Baltimore, July 8. Mrs. Albert ine Kuhlman, aged 19 years, and Miss Mamie Donley, aged 15 years were drowned early this morning. A party of young folks eight in numberleft the city shortly after midnight in a small boat upon a fishing excursion. They proceeded but a short distance when it was dis covered the boat was leaking. The gentlemen endeavored to reach a scow lying near by. When alongside the scow one of the party, in at tempting to effect a landing, upset the boat, precipitating all the occu pants into the water. Six were res cued, and the two named above drowned. Their bodies were recov ered this a ftenoon. Both ladies are well known in South Baltimore and were bosom friends. Mrs. Kuhlnan had only been married two months. II a kris nu ug, July 2. The several buildings comprising the Dauphin County poorhouse, with the barn and other outbuildings, were entirely consumed by lire this afternoon. The buildings comprised two large three-story brick structures, set at right angles. Another three-story brick building stood in the rear, which was occupied by insane pa tients. A two-story brick building in the rear of this was the wash- house. . The large barn, situated 50 feet from the other building, and various smaller outbuildings were also consumed, leaving the site on which the beautiful and costly group of public buildings were located barren waste. Most of the furniture in the buildings and all the contents of the barn were consumed, includ ing one horse and five mules. The loss is variously estimated at from UOU to SloO.UUU. There is an insurance of between $25,000 and $40,000 on the property. The fire originated in the barn, though no one seems able to fix the cause, even by conjecture. It was first discovered at about one o'clock, when workmen in an adjoining field detected smoke issuing from the roof. The building and contents were very inflammable and were soon a mass ot rums, ine Duuaing used for the custody and care of tramps was next to fall a prey, and sparks from this soon communicated with the main building. 1 he super intendent. as well as all available force, turned attention to the remov al of the insane and other patients from the burning building. This was successiuiiy accompnsnea, though at the expense of much offort and great pains. Several of the women fought like furies against being taken out, and they were finally forced from the building. Nobody was hurt during all the ex citement, and it was not until every body was out of the house and a count was made that OXE POOR HELPLESS WOMAN. was found to be badly burned. She had been carried out and laid in the field, and a large spark fell on her clothes, setting fire to them and burning her limbs badly. She was taken to the hospital. It was a piti ful sight to see the old and decrepit looking vainly at their home, for it was their home, burn ing before them. They eat around on old trunks and I boxes, the oldest in the arm chair that had been carried in from the building, and wrapped in anything that could be caught up in the mo ment They presented a very deso lute sight Some of the older ones were laid on the edge of the hay cocks which were shaped to give them a soft bed. Some of the rheu matic patients screamed with pain while lying nnder the trees, and the wails of one colored woman could be heard above the shouts of the fire men. Women with, little infants struggling for a meal sat on the bare ground and seemed to enjoy their importance, as they werestared at by the crowd. Several idiots were attempting to explain how the house was burned, and a deaf and dum boy tried his best to make himself understood with his excited mumbling. A crazy woman importuned Mr. Keem to catch the author of the fire and throw him in the building, and she uolun teered to help. One old woman, who had been confined to bed for four years with the rueumatism, screamed with pain from the depth of a hay bed and warned everybody not to come near her. 1 he policeman hnal ly put the crowd back and the suff erers were not molested further by the crowd. The flames ate their way through the roof to the third story downward, their progress being ac companied by loud explosions as the slate was lorceu out ana tne tin cornice was blown off. Occasionly a portion of the wall would fall with a report like a cannon. A DEFECTIVE AVATER SCPI'LY. The buildings are situated three miles from this city, and on the first alarm a detail of police and the fire department of the city were dispatch ed to the scene, but unfortunately the supply of water was very slow and had to be carried too far to be of any use. There were in the almshouse 18-5 inmates, of whom 21 females and 17 males were insane. Some of those were gotten out, it was afterward learned, came directly to Harrisburg, where they were cared for. The huge three-story building had burn ed down to the first story by 2 o'clock, and while the walls were standing the whole interior was a seething furnace, and the was full of Hying sparks, cinders and thick black smoke. Arrangements were made to shelter the poor to-night. They will be disposed of in the sur rounding county almshouse until a new house is built. The origin of the fire could not be learned. Superintendent Reem says that all of the men were away from the barn but one colored man, and it is possible he may have been smoking a pipe, a spark from which ignited the combustibles in the barn. He does not charge this, however, and is inclined to think that a careful in vestigation will lead to finding some other cause. MASSACHUSETTS STATE HOUSE BCRXED. ALMS- lAm $150,000.

The high wings were 100 feet by 50, nnd the end wings slightly larger. All these wings were three stories in height, with the exception of the south wing, which was four stories high. Between one hundred and fifty and two hundred inmates were in the workhouse, and Superintendent Blackstone,aided by a corps of assis tants, did his utmost to remove every one from the buildings. About twenty-two persons were confined in the hospital, but they were quick ly removed and conveyed to a place of safety.

Pa., July 5. A most terrific rain and thunderstorm passed over Kittanning this afternoon. The lightning shook up the people who were uncomfortably near to tne two storied double brick, building on McKean street, belonging to G. C. Orr. Esn., which was struck and a portion of the southern chimney scattered around upon the pavement This caused auite a commotion for a time, and many people visited the spot out of curiosity. At the fair grounds the judges' stand was struck by lightning the north corner was torn and splintered up, in which, upon the ground, 6at a mill roller, named Samuel Dinsmore, and a puddler named Maloney, and a dog. The dog was killed and Dinsmore and Maloney both badly injured, Dinsmore seriously. The lightning tore up the ground and caught on to a wire upon the fence, running northward and tore and splintered all the palings upon which the wire was attached. There was a large crowd of these men in the grounds at the time, who had gone to see a game of base ball. Six Person Hilled. Cincinnati, June 3. A terrible accident occurred on the Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton Raiway at Winton Place crossing, north of Spring Grove Cemetry, to night, whereby six persons were killed. The thunderbolt express, coming south on the New York Pennsylva nia and Ohio Railroad, due here at S.'M, but half an hour behind time, was running fast to make up lost time, when it struck a huckster wag on, in which were a family of six per sons and a driver. Every oue ex cept William Bertscli, the driver, was killed. He escaped with serious injuries. The wagon was broken to splinters. The family was that of a huckster named Henry Kracker. They were going to their farm, sev en miles from Winton Place. Happy Kansas) Farmers. indifference. He face bore well the scrutiny it was subjected to. It was pale, oval and peculiarly fascinating. The eye were flingularly large and full, the nose was a model for the highest form of Grecian chiseling. The gentleman was evidently nearly twice her age and there was no mis take as to his devotion. The pair proceeded to discuss as good a sup per as the bill of fare afforded, when another lady made her appearance on the scene. . There are excellent reasons for believing that the new comer was the gentleman's wife. Her eyes wandered about the dining room until they rested on the young lady and her friend. She made her way very quietly over to the table where thev were seated and before anyone could appreciate what was going on had drawn a riding whip from her nocket. The gentleman sprang from his teat with a look of dismay, but he was to late to save the girl. Three, four times the rid ing whip whistled ia the air, one vicious stroke leaving a scarlet streak across the younger lady's face. It was all the gentleman could do to get the ladies parted, and the moment she was free the owner of the dashing hat hurried out, with all of her im periousncss gone, her feathers crum pled and her drets disordered. The little episode had taken up less than a minutes's time, but the ex citement which it caused was of much longer duration. The lady with the whip struggled so fiercely to get free from the gentleman's grasp j that she finally succeeded. In a j moment she disappeared in the di rection taken by tlieyounger woman. The prompt interferance of a Man hattan Beach policeman saved a second whipping. He threatened to arrest the elder lady if she made any violent demonstration and the girl took refuge in the ladies' waiting room. How the gentleman and his companion succeeded iu meeting each other again is a mystery, but they were seen to get upon a train together while the assailant wander ed about the piazza, as identity of the parties failed. went to his house to arrest him but were just in time to see their man making tracks across the adjoining fields.
