The meeting was presided over by our
staunch Republican friend, Mr. John H.

Repi blicans at Crsika. A Republican

of every wind that blows, and in the mur

shore, that we are passing away, passing
away. Man vauishes as the drifting.cloud,
and is no more seen. Memory alone re

ry, alas! too soon like him to pass away,
for we cannot make that perpetual whose

the memory and virtues of our deceased

deeply sympathize with those who were

may be ready for the great change.

this, Wednesday morning, in order to give

ection, which took place yesterday
rork
Thr Worn. Completed. The main work
of tbe famous Yanderbilt bridge, spanning
the Susquehanna at this point, bas been
completed. That is to say. the twenty
three piers in tbe river, representing as fine
a specimen of engineering skill and mechan
ical labor as can be found in the broad land,
were finished on Wednesday. The work
has involved an immense amount of labor,
mental and physical. The honor of its ex
traordinary expedition is divided between
the contractors. Messrs. James Smith &
Sons, of Dayton, and the resident Engineer,
Mr. Theodore C. Ives. The perfection of
the work, tbe beauty and symmetry of ths
piers and the phenomenal accuracy of the
result is shared by Mr. Ives and bis corps
of Assistants embracing Mr. Thos. F. Demp
sey. first assistant, ami Messrs. Fred S. Wil
son, E. A. Rudyer, J, Brown Parker, Geo.
C Roberts and D. MacAUister, the latter
serving as insjiector of masonry. These
gentlemen worked together assiduously as
they were faithful to their chief and the
company and the excellence of their work
stands a monument attesting their profi
ciency in the science in which they are en
gaged. The iron work, which will com
plete the structure, will be erected as soon
as the completion of the road immediately
on the other side makes it desirable.
Work preparatory. to the building of the
bridge was begun in December, 1883, at the
limestone quarry at Union Springs, X. Y.,
and during January following a granite
quarry was opened at Goldsboro, Pa., but
nothing was done at the site of the struct
ure until last April when the actual work of
setting the foundations and laying the stone
commenced.
The piers are constructed to hold a double
track deck structure, those in the river,
twenty-three in number, are 15Ji feei from
centre to centre and increase in height as
they approach the Cumberland side. The
grade on the bridge, about 39 feet to the
mile, is thns affected ; the bottom piers with
the ice-breakers, however are of uniform
height ; their tops being placed at tbe eleva
tion of the highest flood mark. Rock foun
dations were procured for all piers excepting
four ; those were founded on gravel, well
below the bed of the river ; they are situa
ted just down stream from the island, where
contrary to general expectation the lime
stone formation of the riyer bed was sunder
ed leaving a great rift into which the river
has been constantly depositing material .
In Harris park the piers have been carried
only to the surface of the ground and form
foundations which will support he trusses.
Those on tbe land spans will be about six
feet deep. The ends of those extending to
the first river pier will also be supported by
columns resting on the Harrisburg half of
the low pier, tbe other half supporting the
low trusses of the river spans, which are of
much greater depb. About twenty-five feet
of this is equal to the height of the columns
and the depth of the light trusses combined
bringing tbe tops of both kinds of trusses on
leyel. A thorough structure is required
for the span crossinz the Xorthern Central
railroad on tbe west side and the piers and
abutments are constructed accordingly. The
elevation of the rails above the water on the
west side will be about eighty feet and from
that point a fine view will meet the eye of
the traveler as he approaches Harrisburg.
There are upward of ten thousand yards of
masonry in the entire work andconsidering
the difficulties of working on such a broad
and shallow river the progress has been very
rapid. The location of the piers was entire
ly by triangulation ; work being in progress
from both sides aud in the middle at the
the

kTHE TERRIBLE TYPHOON.
GREAT DESTRUCTION IS TWO JAP
ANESE CITIES.
Sas Francisco, Cal., Oct 28. A
steamer from Japan brings further
details of the typhoon at Yoko
hama and Tokio on September 15th.
Tbe etorm came up so rapidly and
with such fury that no precautions
could be taken. In Yokohama the
entire lower part of the town was
wrecked. Not a bouse was left
standing. The newspapers give no
particulars, simply saying that the
olace was wiped out, and it is there
fore useless to publish details. In
another part of tbe town 128 houses
were destroyed and 390 damaged, the
most substantial structures being
swept away as if built of pasteboard.
At sea hltv-three out ot eighty
sailing vessels were lost, with 2'23
passengers. Twelve vessels, with
120 persons, are still missing. Of
five life boats going to succor
drowning crews, four were swamped
and ten men of their crews were
drowned.
Tbe Scott Liquor Law.
Columbus, 0 Oct 28. The su
preme court, three judires affirming
and two dissenting, to day declared
the Scott liquor tax law unconstitu
tional. The decisions on the several
cases pending were all to this effect.
The majority of the court held that
the lien clause of the Scott law is a
license law; therefore the whole act
is void. No opinion in expressed as
to whether the law is void as tax or
as a license law.
The decision stripped of its ver
biage declares the law as unconsti
tutional and will not only do away
with the collection of a tax this
year, only a small portion of which
has been paid, but it will make it
neccecsary for all corporations to
pay back the amount which was
collected under the law last year to
gether with interest It will bank
rupt nearlv all the cities in the
State, as the levies for the vear were i
made under the impression that
it was constitutional and would
bring into the treasuries of tbe
counties and cities a stipulated
amount of money. In Columbus,
for example, between $45,000 and
$50,000 Were realized from the tax
last year, and none of the amount
bas been paid this year. All the
departments are behind in payment
of salaries two or three months.
Other cities are similarly situated.
The great question with municipal
and county authorities is bow they
will secure immediate relief from
their embarrassment since the legie
ture is not session to grant
authority.

Tbe ten bodies were taken to the
little church and one funeral ser
vice was held fr all. The church

Service concluded, the bodies were
all taken out of the church and in

Bbooklvm, N. Y., Nov. 3. There
has been an old-time feud existing
between the Moores, of 54 Clymer
street, and Hoppers of 44 Spencer
street. The trouble culminated
last night in a terrible row, iu course
of whrch Peter Hopper received in
juries which will probably result
in hia death. Mrs. Moore went to
Hopper's house with a brick con
cealed under her apron, and when
she got under the basement she
hurled it through the window with
all her strength. Peter Hopper,
who was sitting with back to the
window, was struck on the back of
the head and knocked, to the
floor. He was stunned by the blow,
and before he could recover sufhc
iently, John Moore, Mrs. Moore's
son, broke open the door and he
and his mother rushed into the
room. They assaulted the unfor
tunate man with chairs, dishes and
other articles, cutting and bruising
him in a terrible manner. Mrs.
Moore and her son have been arres
ted and locked up to await the re
sult of Hopper's injuries.

West Chester. October 31. This
afternoon Laura B. White, a young
woman, single, aged about 2o, was
arraigned in court on the charge of
haying beaten her cousin, J.,ewi3
Glesson aged 6 years, so that he
died in ten days from the effects of
her maltreatment, the whipping
occurred on August 25, and the boy
died on September 4. The bill of
indictment, as drawn by the dis
trict attorney, is not for murder
in the first degree, but is in three
counts, to wit: For murder, volunta
ry manslaughter and involuntary
manslaughter. Three witnesses tes
tified that the girl beat the boy from
three quarters to a whole hour, and
when she completed the beating
threw him down upon the floor ot
the porch with great force. The
parties live near Fisherville, in Cain
Township. The case is still on trial

ears chained himself to a brush
heap near his father's house, then
set the bru?h on fire and deliberately
burned himself to death. His body
was discovered this morning. A
gash was found on the side of his
throat, made by a razor which was
found near by. A note wis found
directed to his parents, saying that
he was tired of living. He gave no
reason for the act, but it is thought
to have been caused by unrequited
love.
