The hearts of the people when ever an occasion offers turn toward Grant The Republican State Con vention of Ohio passed a resolution of profound sympathy by a unani mous vote. i Ohio saloon-keepers paid into the Treasury last year S2,CXJ0,000 beiore the Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional The same court has declared that the money cannot be relunded. The law has its mys teries. The unparalleled glut shown by a surplus reserve of eG2,000,000 in the New York banks shows that the trouble with business is not a lack of money, but a lack of confidence to use that money in legitimate business enterprises. The mugwumps should feel en couraged by the success of their brother-in-law, Mr. George W. Jul ian. That ancient worthy began kicking only about twenty years ago, and, behold, be has his reward ! Indianajxjli Journal. Hos. Henry W. Blair, of New Hampshire, was re-nominated for United States Senator, on the first ballot, by the Republican Legisla tive caucus of that State on Thurs day of last week. His election will follow as a matter of course. Hon. George Handy Smith, of Philadelphia, was elected as presi dent pro tern, of the Senate; and Senators Upperman, Williams, Rey burn, Meredith and Osborne were selected by the Republican Senator ial caucus for the Slate Committee. uWe trust that Secretary Man-J nine is making arrangements to part company with the whiskey ring," is the sententious way in which the Atlanta CunstJution makes known the company the pres ent Secretary of the Treasury is keeping. The Republican State Convention of Ohio last Thursday nominated Judge Joseph B. Foraker, of Cin cinnati, for Governor, on the first ballot, and General Robert P. Ken nedy for Lieutenant Governor, Judge George W. Mcllvaine for Su preme Judge, John C Brown for Treasurer, all by acclamation. J. A. Kobler, of Summit, was nominated for Attorney General, and Wells S. Jones, of Pike, for Board of Public Works. m The Moneyed Capital bill has been amended so that if it becomes law the taxes on mortgages, and evidences of indebtedness and mon eyed capital will be three mills on the dollar, instead of four as now. It is probable that the difference in the tax rate will be more than made up by the greater thoroughness with which the tax will be collected on debts of record, the bill containing provisions for catching all that kind of property tbat cannot be easily evaded if the assessors make any pretence of doing their duty. Cebtadt- Democratic partisan newspapers are loud in their praise of Secretary Whitney for declaring bis intention to investigate the large sums of money spent for repairs in some of the navy yards. But they neglect to state that his predecessor, Secretary Chandler, urged upon Congress the abolition of these same navy yards. While it may be very proper for Secretary Whitney to in vestigate, it would be nothing more than decent to say that Secretary Chandler had been there before, and after investigation urged that they be closed ur. The apportionment of the State into Congressional, Senatorial and Legislative districts again talis to the ground through the veto of His Accidency, Robert E. Pattison. The bills were so fair and unpartisan as tm oommand the support of many Democrats throughout the State, but the Governor does not seem' to be able to comprehend that his ac cidental election does not make Pennsylvania a Democratic State, and that fats party is not entitled to a majority of the Congressional delegation. The Senate passed the Congressional Apportionment bill over his veto, but when the Beat tar came up in the House, although everal Democrats voted tor the bill, svieaitXlng its fairness, the veto was eusUioed by the votes of nearly all the Desaocrats, and some few Repub licans who were disgruntled be : cause the bill did not fix their local matters their please saeoi.

The Nelsen Monument in Edinburg suffered a like Btroke in 1863, but it has since apparently escaped injury from thunderbolts. Though ascending ligh ning is occa sionally observed, the electric dis charge usually strikes from above. The disintegration of stone receiv ing the discharge is due to the ef fect of induction, which occurs so instantaneously that the particles of stone (a very poor conductor) cannot quickly enough accommodate them selves to the new distribution of electricity. It will probably be found tbat the point of the monu ment attacked by the lightning was the uppermost strip of phosphor bronze in the vertical joints of the pyramidal root The Legislature adjourned tine die on Friday at 12 o'clock. The first part of the session was wasted in a do-nothing sort of a way that was not creditable to the members, but on the whole, the session will compare favorably with many that have gone before. Legislative en actments poured in upon the Exec utive Department during the last week; but 88 reached the Governor in the twenty-two weeks preceding, while 233 were messaged to him during the lrst few days. Out of the 321 Acts passed, more than one third are appropriation or relief bills. Seventy-one acts received the Executive, approval while 17 have been vetoed. Three of these have been parsed over his vetoes and become laws. They are the Soldiers' Burial bill, and several items in the General Appropriation bill, and the Act providing for the payment of about $27,000 to the of ficers, clerks and other employes of the Legislature of 1S83. Some im portant measures, notably the anti discrimination and bank examiner bills, failed of passage ; but against these sins of omission must be set the record of haying acceded to the request of the citizens of Phila delphia for the passage of the Bul litt bill, the bill decreeing that the procurement of a marriage license from the Clerk of the Orphans' Court must ante-date any legal join ing in wedlock, the bill allowing criminals indicted for homicide or crimes of less degree to testify in their own behalf, the bill abolishing the toy pistol, and the most impor tant bill of the session, which pro vides for the assessment and collec tion of taxes on moneyed capital and returns of personal property. Au ditor General Niles estimates that this bill, if strictly enforced, will j bring to the coffers of the Treasury between $1,000,000 and $1,300,000 annually. There has been a pro viso exempting manufacturing cor porations from taxation, which will reduce the amount about $300,000. and a number of others of minor interest Some few ridiculous bills were placed on the Statute books, but this is a piece of pleasantry that every session of the Legislature is prone to indulge in and can, there fore, hardly militate greatly against this one. All in all, it has done some good work and left undone some that bore all the ear marks of being very bad. Cladsten and Earl Granville An. noune the End erf Th4r Rule. London, June 12. The Marquis of Salisbury has consented to form a ministry, with Sir Stafford North- cote as Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is stated that a message from the Queen has arrived for Sir Staf ford Northcote. Mr. Gladstone an nounced in the House of Commons' this afternoon tbat he had resigned his office ; that the Queen had accep ted his resiccation Jind that Her Maj esty bad informed him that she had summoned the Marquis of Salisbury, the leader of the opposition in the House of Lords, to Balmoral for the purpose of entrusting him with the formation of a new Ministry. Mr. Gladstone, continuing, said that un der the peculiar circumstances sur rounding tbe outgoing government, he would, a little later, propose tbat the House of Commons adjourn until next Monday. The question had arisen, he protested, whether it would be best for the public con venience and interest to goon with the pending legislation concerning the redistribution of seats bill. The present Government would only do so with the consent of the iloutte. He did not believe that any differ ence of principle in reepect to this important measure could now possi bly arise between tiie parties, and be reminded the House that the Gov ernment and the opposition were both under a compact regarding the redistribution bill. It would, how ever, be gratifying to himself and his colleagues in the retiring Cabinet if, before they ceased their public du ties, thej could regard the bill as sealed and delivered. Sir Stafford Nortlicote, on behalf of the Conservatives, rr?oitdr-d that desired to proceed tb, redistribution bill rapidly las possible. There was uo rea son why the amendments made to the bill by the House of Lords should not at once receive the assent of the House of Commons, but the question of these amendments was in this peculiar shape the amend ments were not yet printed and he thought it desirable to have them printed before formally acting on them. mUedfcy to Oars at 70. CoiiVEUJyiLLK, June 12. Mrs. S. J. Cox, an old lady of nearly 70 years, was fatally injured on the Southwest road at tbe Meadow alley crossing here this afternoon.

APPORTIONMENT KILLED. S07ESX22 PATTEarc TITO CTAKEL The Congressional BUI rails toeta aeiva a Two-thirds Vet In tha Houso - Extra - Seeeion Talk Revived. HARRHBrRG, June 11 The Gov ernor began work this morning by directing the Attorney General to notify the Auditor General and State Treasurer to make out no warrants and pay no money mentioned in tbe items of the General Appropriation bill passed over the Governor's veto. This was done. In the House about 5 o'clock this afternoon, the Speaker cleared his table of the Governor's veto of tbe Congressional Apportionment bilL Tbe house was crowded in expectan cy of this, and every member was in his seat except Beach, of Craw ford, and Haesett of Philadelphia, both of whom are sick. There was a good bit of trouble experienced in clearing the aisles, but this was fin ally accomplished, and Mr. Hul ings took the floor in favor of the bilL He defended the work of the committee as an effort to make a fair and honest bilL Sponsler followed in an impass ioned speech, asking that the bill receive full consideration, because it was framed to give the Democrats more districts than they are entitled to, and, unlike the Representative Apportionment bill, was not parti san. None of the Democrats answer ed. The call of the roll than began, almost everybody keeping tally. Barton, Cox and Sample, of Al legheny, voted no because they de sired to save Tom liayne's district ; Berry because Forest was buried under a Democratic majority; Dinan because Lycoming was placed in a Democratic district, where it belong ed; Geotye S. Graham, Brit Hart and Johnson because they wanted Beaver as it is, and Morrison and Stevenson because they regarded the interest of Lawrence as jeopardized in the new bill. Of the Democrats, Bowell, of Fayette, and Lantz,of Green, were quite content with the bill and voted aye, while George Mc Gowan voted the same way because the new bill puts his ward into a Democratic district Hardenburg (Rep.) of Wayne, and Gale (Rep.) of Northumberland, deliberately dodged because their counties were put in a Democrat districts. When the Clerk had finished cal ling the roll, and it was seen that the bill had fallen, a number of persons rushed to the Republicans who had voted no and tried to pull them back, but Mackin jumped to bis feet and angrily protested against this electioneering, which put a stop to it A great deal of time was con sumed in counting up the vote, but at last the Speaker announced that the vote was sustained, the vote be ing 129 yeas and 68 nay. Five more votes for the bill would have changed the result There was some very loud applause on the Demo cratic side, which Faunce and Craw ford vainly tired to suppress, and some hisses from the Republicans. Then the house settled down to rou tine work again. Famine in West Virginia. Parkersbcrg, June 7. The sit uation in Jackson county is becom ing quite serious. Hundreds of fam ilies are on the verge of starvation, and unless aid is speedily extended by the remainder of the State or the outside world, the most disastrous results may be expected Some of the more fortunate and influential people of the county and others who believed the condi tion of the inhabitants exaggerated have heretofore denied the reports from time to time made public,hop ing that things could be tided over un til a new crop could be raisedout not much alarm prevails and public meetings are being held in all the villages and the local papers are printing appeals for aid. Last week meetings were held at Whitepine and New Kentuck, at which scores of citizens representing their respec tive neighborhoods testified as to the extent of tbe famine, many pitiful stories being told. Hiram Cobb, owner of a mill, said people would come at the rate of a dozen a day, after walking distances, begging for a pint or quart of meal, and sometimes bringing half a peck of grain or a few ears of corn to be ground. He knew men who had gone for five days without food, and be himself would soon be a sufferer. John H. Gorrett said his neigh bors were actually starving. John Smith, County Assessor, said that to his knowledge 300 families were in danger of starring at New Kentuck. An appeal for aid was signed by representatives of 100 families. These are but specimen stories. One family is said to have subsisted for five days on lettuce, and when found were nearly dead. Cars for Piles.

The Re publican State Convention was call ed to order in the whr-wam in the Market space at 10 a'clock a. at Hon. Joseph K. O'Neal, of Lebanon, Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee. The delega tions of the eighty-eight counties of the State were all full, and about 4.000 persons were packed in tbe wigwam. Hon. J. D. Taylor, of Guernsy county, was announced as temporary Chairman, and address ed the Convention. Referring to the outcome of the late Presidential election Mr. Taylor began his ad dress by saying: "Since you last met in Convention the most anom alous event in history has transpir ed in our country. By a combina tion of crimes, accidents and blun ders this Government with all its great interests, has passed out of the control of the party that saved it from treason and disunion into the hands of tbe party which, through its leaders, sought for five long and bloody years to tear it from its proud position among the nations of the earth and hurl its dissevered fragments into tbe vortex of anarchy and dissolution. This crime of crimes, condoned by tbe over-mag nanimity of the Republican party, unatoned for and nnrepentee of by its chief participants, rears its head again in the Government at Wash ington." In conclusion the speaker said : "We will carry Ohio this year, and the country in 1888 as sure as the stars are in the firmament above if Republican do their duty. Even now the reverberations of victory are lolling in from the prairies of Illinois, where the grand old hero, John A. Logan, has taken the long contested fort Take tbat struggle as your inspiration, and you will achieve a victory in October that will shake the continent from the mountains to the sea. Ohio is ever and must be a Republican State. The State that so proudly upheld tbe cause of James G. Blaine in 1884, the resting place of Garfield, the home of Sherman, the home of Hayes, the birthplace of that hero of heroes. Ulysses S. Grant who is to-day watching us from bis sick room in the metropolis of the na tion; the State tbat gave to tbe coun try 350,000 brave and true soldiers, must ever be a Republican State." Committees were then appointed and the Convention took a recess. Upon re-assembling Hon. Amos Townsend, of Cleveland, was made permanent Chairman and Mr. Emil llo'b, of Cincinnati. Secretary. Judge Joseph B. Foraker, of Cin cinnati, was nominated for Govern or on the first ballot by a vote of 409 j, and tbe nomination was made unanimous. Tbe nomination of General Robert P.

Kohler, of Summit, was nominated for Attorney General, and Wells S. Jones, of Pike, for Board of Public Works. Ftre At Sttippensbnrn;. Shippessbi'rg, June 14. The roost serious fire this place has had in many years occurred this even- between 4 and 5 o'clock. The Pres byterian Church (probably the finest Presbyterian church in the Cumber land valley) was found to be on fire on the roof on the west side, while a high wind was blowing from the northwest The fire department, which consisted of two hand en gines, was taxed to its full capacity ; but as the wells and cisterns in the neighborhood afforded the only sup ply, nothing could be done to stay the flames, and tbe whole structure was laid in ashes. A wooden dwel ling house on the opposite side of the street took fire from the church and was also burned to the ground, the fireman not being able to protect it owing to tbe steeple of tbe church threatening to fall in that direction. A stable in the vicinity caught from sparks, and was so speedily envelop- i a . i . i ii i ' ed in flames that a valuable horse lat it could not be rescued. Counterfeiters Arrested.

Huntingdon, June 14. Peculiar methods have been used in curry ing on the extensive illicit trade in whiskv which has demoralized the laborers.delayed theworkand caused the contractor so much loss on the South Pennsylvania Railroad. Some of those engaged in tbe.buiness boldly peddled the whisky around among the men,but the most usual way was for those wanting it to place their bottles and money on a stump and then to gooff a short dis tance out of sight On returning they would find tbe bottles filled and the monev gone. There were stumps all a long the line that mys teriotisly swallowed ep the coin and poured out whiskv. At other places shanties, one and a half or two stories higb.were built The lower storv was open to the public and the second was occupied by the proprietor, who was unseen by and inaccessible to tnose oeiow Through a little hole in the wall an elevator or dumb waiter could be reached, on which tbe money and and bottle would be placed. Tbe customer would then put his mouth to the hole and hollow "Moses" to the man above, when the dumb wai ter would ascend and shortly after ward return with the bottle filled. Tbe United States authorities are determined to break the traffic up. Deputy Marshal Beegle, of Bedford, has the names of many of the deal ers, in addition to the 11 already taken, and will arrest them as soon as they can be found. Aodrew Caraegte Flxiag for Cholera. New York, June 13. Andrew Carnegie, Pennsylvania's iron mil lionaire, has undertaken to hasten the acquirement of definite know! edge of Asiatic cholera, in order that a cure for the disease may be ascer tained, if possible, by the time the disease reaches this country. His especial desire is that the theory of bacilli, together with vaccination as a preventive, may be scientifically tested under the best circumstances Mr. Carnegie gave $50,000, some time ago, for the erection and equip ment of a laboratory at Bellevue Hospital. Apparatus of tbe most approved kind for the Study of bac teria, and the artificial development of disease germs, has been, put in. This is now in use for the mastery of the cholera. i . . An importation of genuine chol era matter, of various kinds and in different stages of progress, has pro vided the materials with which to experiment Under the direction of Doctor Biggj, a professor in the Bellevue Medical School, the germs of the exptcted disease were arrang ed tubes fur cultivation. Some of the most powerful microscopes that can be made are used in studying the changes. Tbe intention is to utilize the new Spanish method of vaccination. New York Bale ef Flannels New York. June 10. Tbe second heavy sale of flannel goods making 20,000 cases in all took place to day. Buyers were present from East, West North and South, and European houses also had their rep resentatives to note the spirit of the sale. The most undesirable goods on the catalogue were rattled of at 2l(?3 percent below former figures. On the better class of flannels the bidding was lively, and lots ' were knocked down at about yesterday's prices, with plain whites showing an improvement Considering the enormous offering, the sales were re garded as very satisfactory, and, coupled with the sale a few days since of 20,000 packages cotton goods abundant evidence was afforded tbat the country is pretty bare of both cotton and woolen goods, and that the tide has turned for the belter.

A large crowd had gathered in the Court House in that riaoe to listen to the evidence of a murder trial in pro gress. The jam in the court room was eo great that many could reach no farther than the stairs. The staircase soon became packed, and while men and women were jostling one another in vain efforts to get near the trial room, the stairs, with out a moment's warning, gave way, carrying down hundreds of people to the floor below. Here an inde scribable scene took place. Men fought and scrambled their way out over the bodies of those who lay beneath, while the agonizing shrieks of the wounded rent the air. Men and women were piled one on top of another over ten deep, and many of those underneath were crushed to death or suffocated. The police aid, instantly summoned, and as sisted by a number of volunteers, soon restored order, and at once be gan the work of rescue. Some of the victims were pinioned by the fallen timbers, and considerable dif ficulty was experienced in extricat ing them. Twenty-four poople were killed outright, and some one hun dred and sixty-three injured, many of them, it is feared, fatally. The accident has cast a gloom over the town. A Corpse la a Barrel. Louisville, Ky., June 11. At 10 o'clock this morning three boys swimming in Bear Grass creek dis covered a barrel containing the bead less corpse of a man. The head had been cut from the body with a lag ged instrument of some sortand the arm) and legs were also chopped off and'packed in the barrel along with the body.liot the head was no where to be found. There was every evi dence of a foal murder, and the po lice are actively at work upon tbe case. Thus far nothing has been unearthed tbat wilt lead eituer to the identity of the corpse or furnish a clew to the murderer. Tbe crime from all indications, must have been committed within twenty-four hours prior to the discovery of the body. Tbe barrel bore no mark and had evidently been carefully selected by j the murdererefor this purpose. The body, from all indications, was that of a man of middle age, with small, soft bands, and small feet Drs4-gea throng-b the Su-eet by the Neck. Washington, Pa., June 13.
