The Trades organizations of the

tions for signatures, requesting Pres
ident Cleveland to call an extra ses
sion of Congress to be devoted ex
clusively to the consideration of
measures for the relief of the indus

revival of business.
Cleveland was elected' by a com
bination of Democrats and Mug
wumps. The latter, with many
wry faces, are sticking to him hero
ically, while the former are frantic
ally kicking themselves for trusting
a man they didn't know. What is

Before starting bchaoded Pension
Agent Davis his resignation, which
was promptly accepted.
We are within a few days of the
Democratic State Convention, and
up to date the public is not inform
ed of any bold member oi that par
ty who is desrious of making the
race against Col. Quay. The woods
are full of Democrats who want to
run for Treasurer some other year,
but none of them are anxious to
tackle the Beaver statesman.
Whkk Cleveland took to the woods
to avoid the swarms of office beg
gars that besieged the White House,
he left the official guillotine with
Assistant Postmaster General Stev
enson. This gentleman has repair
ed and oiled it up, and it is now
working smoothly at its full capac
ity, which is about twobundred and
fifty heads per day. " Offensive par

The President and his cabinet are
nearly all absent from Washington,
seeking relaxation and rest
When
the Republican officials used to take
their Vacation, the Democratic press
immediately went into spasms of
indignation over their desertion ofj
!
yon as gently as sucking doves, over
the absence of Mr. Cleveland and
his official family. After all there
is a vast difference as to whose cz is
being gored. t
Sekatob Lo.voenecker has been 1
re-elected Chairman of the Republi
can Committee of Bedford County,
and is vigorously at work furthering
the inteiesta of Colonel Quay, for
whom, he writes the State Commit
tee, he has now strong hopes of car
rying his county. The Senator is
setting an example worthy of imita
tion by those who have cavilled at
his Republicanism.
Recently this Administration ap
pointed one F. B. Dunton postmas
ter at Ct-uter, Lincolnville, Maine,
on the n-coaameudation of 'promi
nent citizens." But it now appears
that Mr. Dunton cannot enter at
once on the duties of his office from
the fact that he is serving a term ol
imprisonment in jail for embezzle
ment. Great is reform ! Of course
there is nothing "offensive" about
this Maine man. His partisanship
is all right and therefore his euibez
ilement must be overlooked.
The President placed in the bands
of the eight Democratic Congress
men of this State the absolute dis
posal of the Federal offices within
its bounds, and these gentlemen di
vided the spoils in accordance with
their own sweet wills. Great dissat
isfaction exists among the local lead
ers through the State, and the cus
sing if not loud is vigorous. Just
wait until the Congressmen come op
again for re-nomination, and then
stand out of reach of the kickers and
enjoy the fun. The performance of
the "bucking broncho" in the circus,
will be exselled by the Democratic
mules.
We are having some entertaining
examples of the skill of this Ad
ministration in turning the rascals
out, and replacing them ith honest
Democrats, the latest of which is to
be found in the appointment of one
C. P. Judd to be special agent of the
Labor Bureau of Nevada and the
territories. This new Democratic
agent has since been arrested at Ala
me.co, Col., on a warrant for horse
stealing, and he has drawn up and
signed a statement admitting his
guilt, and that he had served in
prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, and
two terms in the Penitentiary in
Colorado for similar offences. He
claims that his application for the
government position was signed by
well-known Democrats of Colorado.
" Turn the rascals out !"
We tibferve that President Cleve
land has jat unconditionally par
doned and released from imprison
ment Michael Mullen, a police
man ol Cincinnati, who officer
ed two patrol wugons on the
night before the election in that
city and gathered in from their
houses and out ol their beds 100
colored voters, put theui in the base
ment of his station house and kept
concealed, without charges
against them, until the polls were
closed upon election day. The crime
was proved against him, and Judge
Sage, of the United States Court,
gave him a mild sentence of one
year, r rom this the 1 resident has
promptly relieved him by an uncon
ditional pardon. Each one can
draw his own conclusions of the re
sults of such clemency.
A dispatch to the Philadelphia
rret from Atlanta, Georgia, under
date of August 12th, says :
It is lelt in many places in the South that
the monument to Grant should assume the
dual character of a monument to Grant
and Lee. l'r. J. It. Hinkly. of Georgia, one
of tlic hest known surpeons ot the army of
Northern Virginia, subscribes $."iii0 for this
purpose, and rails upon the proper authori
ties in New York to give the nutter this
shape, so that (Confederates may join in.
We can imagine nothing more in
congruous than this. The commem
oration of loyalty and treason, side
by side, would be a beautiful sight
to set before the eyes of coming gen
erations, upon whose loyalty alone
depends the perpetuity of the Na
tion. It would be about as fitting
to build churches for the joint wor
ship of God and the devil, as to
erect a National cenotaph to perpet
uate the joint names and deeds of
Grant and Lee. Has treason be
come a virtue ?

the coming elections show that the

The Pennsylvania railroad is go-
! i"S to have some trouble before it
succeeds in its attempt to gobble up
the South Pennsylvania road. Its
buccanerring greed has aroused the
people of the State and the question
has now got to be determined
whether the Constitution is a mere
rope ot sand. If this monstrous
corporation owns me Mate the peo
ple want to know it It has been
pushing the fight upon them for
years and now the test must come.
The people, vs. corporate powers is
the issue that is rapidly ripening,

will contain a oody of members

ther encroachment by corporations.
auuiuiu uitcu in ucmiDti us ruIOrCr'
ment of the constitution and to take
pledges for its future observance.
With tbe issue fairly and squarely
drawn, no member dare take the
side of the corporations against the
people. The people of this State i
have been patient and long suffer
ing under the debauchery of their
Legislature by the emissaries of the
corporations they have created,
chiefly because local interests only
were affected.but when the Pennsyl
vania railroad company literally un
dertakes to monopolize the entire car
rying trade of the State and by crush
ing all opposition be enabled thereby
to pray upon every business interest,
the time has come when the busi
ngs men everywhere must unite in
defense of their rights. Wc do not
want to see the cry of "down with
corporations" raised, but if for 6elf
protection it must, then let it come.
Pennsylvania will never become the
slave of corporations if the people
are aroused to the issue being torced
upon them.
Pension Commissioner Black is
very busily emploed re-organizing
the boards of Examining Surgeons,
by turning out Republican surgeons
and appointing Democrats in their
stead. What politic has to do with
the examination of the disabilities
and wounds of the old soldiers, has
been left for General Black to dis
cover. For fifteen yearB, at least, be
fore General Black took charge of
the Pension Bureau, no man was ap
pointed an examining surgeon or
dismissed from that office on ac
count of his politics. Hundreds of
the examining surgeons were Dem
ocrats, simply because they were
found to be the ablest and most ex
perienced surgeons in the -places
where their services were required.
But no applicant was ever asked
whether he was a Democrat or a Re
publican, and an examination of the
applications on file in the Persion
Office when General Black took
charge would show that in few cases
indeed, did applicants say that they
were Democrats or Republicans.
At tbe Hero' Tomb.
New York, Aug. 11. There was
& marked decrease to-day in the
number of visitors to Riverside.
The crowd has settled down to what
is believed will henceforth be the
average number except on holida3-s
and Sundays. Several hundred
people were to be seen at any time
of the day grouped abDUt the en-,
trance to the tomb, and clusters of
twos and threes were scattered all
over the grounds. The sentry had
no difficulty in keeping the visitors
the required distance from the vault,
and when the crowd became a little
larger a line was formed, so aa to
give every one a chance to look into
the tomb.
A rumor was circulated that some
damage had been done to the tomb
by relic-seekers, in chippine off
pieces of the brick and by defacing
it with marks. The reports are with
out foundation. Since the funeral
service, when the guard established
by General Hancock took charge of
the vault under Captain Fessenden,
there has been no chance for visi
tors to get close enough to the struc
ture to deface it. At all hours of the
night and day two sentinels with
loaded muskets pace ret nil any
around the tomb. There has been
no intermission.
Two handsome floral contribu
tions were received by the Park
Commissioners vesterdav and placed
in the tomb of General Grant. Une
is a floral anchor, sent by a number
of colored people in Honda; the
other a column of roses and forget-
me-nots from the Ohio Department
of the Grand Army.

was unanimously adopted, with a
condition, which was fulfilled lost
evening. The Home consists of a
large brick building erected for ma
rine hospital purposes, and has with
it two hundred acres of land on the
site of the old French Presque Isle
Fort, commanding the entrance to
the port, and is worth $250,000. The
appropriation of SJO.OOO will be us

orPAt excitement in Seville, oter the
Government proposal to abolish the
power of the local authorities dar-jjt
ing the prevalence of cholera, be -
cause of their inefficiency in sanita
tion, and to itself assume the direc
tion of the city's local affairs. The
populace are hostile to the doctors
and averse to any interference in
family affairs, and they strongly
support the local authorities. Great
crowds assembled in all the public
places last evening to discuss , the
situation, and the civil guard was
called upon to disperse them.
The ravages of the disease in ura
nada are horrible. Scores of the
victims of the disease drop and die
in the streets, where, in many cases,
they remain for hours before they
are gathered up at night for a harried
and unceremonious burial in a com
mon trench. The Archbishop has
sold his equipages to obtain funds
for the relief of the suffering people,
and has given his palace for a hos
pital.
The condition of anairs in Mar
seilles is every day revealed as even
worse than what was already known,
and the neglect by the authorities
of the needs of the city is being
thrown more and more into relief
as a course of conduct criminal in
jito effect on the inhabitants. It is
u; 'M proved that cholera has existed
in Marseilles in an unmistakable
and well-defined development of the
disease since June, while the author
ities have persistently denied its
presence and have done nothing to
retard its progress.
The Cyclone In New York.
Norwood, N. Y August 13. The
damage by the cyclone here last
night was somewhat overestimated.
The loss of life so far reported in
cludes only Michael Martin, a farm
hand, and Mrs David Fitzgibbons.
The injured are: Myra Ormsby.aged
IS years.probably fatally hurt; Mrs.
George Cramer, S. E. Leslie, Mrs.
Oliver Lundeman, Carl and Rufus
King and Charles Minor.
The storm raged over a territory
of fifteen miles in length and from
one half to three quarters of a mile
in width. The wind was accompan
ied by a terrific hail-storm. The
damage done to growing crops and
fruit cannot bo estimated. The
principal losers in Norwood are the
Norwood Lumljer Company, the
Ogdensburg and Lake Chainpl.uu
Railroad Company, ny damage to
bridge and station, and A. M. H.
1 eareon.by damage to broom handle
and hoop factory. Over 100 resi
dences and innumerable barns and
sheds were destroyed or damaged.
The damage done in Norwood and
the immediate vicinity is estimated
at $150,000.

named Chatterton was struck with
lightning and instantly killed. The
flag-poles on the Grand Union Ho

Lightning also struck several other
places. There were several land
slides and washouts. In the lower

Wanted to Lynch the Sheriff.
Harrifburq, Aug. 14. Between
eight and nine o'clock last night the
Sheriff of York county .James Work
inger, shot and it is thought fatally
wounded a man named Francis.
Francis, it is said is a bad character
and has committed depredations in
different parts of the State, his last
offence being highway robbery in
York county. Yesterday Sheriff
Workinger repaired to Middletown
to arrest him. He" captured his man
and than attempted to handcuff him.
Francis broke away and fled. The
Sheriff pursued him and seeing that
he could not overtake him drew a
revolver from his pocket and fired.
Francis fell with a bulet in his back.
The report of the revolver soon drew
a large crowd and when the true
state of affairs was known people
flocked from every direction.
Seeing what he had done the
Sheriff became alarmed and it did
not take him long to discover that
the excited men who were gathering
were arranging to take the law in
their own hands. A doEen of the
boldest in the crowd started for him
followed by the others. The Sheriff
again drew his revolver and for a
time held the crowd at bay. A
lynching no doubt would have fol
lowed had not an east-bound freight
train appeared in sight, and, made
desperate bv fear, Workinger board
ed the train and was carried beyond
the rejich of the infuriated mob.
In Desperate Peril.

to his home in Granville about nine
o'clock last night he was attacked
and overpowered by three unknown
men, supposed to be tramps, robbed
of S3U, gagged, bound hand and
foot, placed across the North track
and tied there.
The unfortunate man, knowing
that a freight train was due shortly.
struggling witn the desperation of
one facing a horrible death, boon
the noise of the approaching freight
sounded in his ears, and summon
ing all his strength for a superhu
man effort, he succeeded in drawing
his feet from his boots and extricat
ing himself from his perilous posi
tion just in time .to save bis life.
His hands, however, were yet tied to
the track when thetrain came alone,
and when he was found by the
watchman five minutes later it was
discovered that the wheels - had
crushed the tinners of one hand.
He was st once removed to hie home
where he lies in a critical condition.

Twenty-Seven years in an Asylum.
Adrianne Brinckle has just been
released from the State Lunatic Asy
lum at Harrisburg, where she has
been confined twenty-seven years,
although perfectly sane during all
that time. Thirty years ago the
family of Miss Brinckle's father, Dr.
William D.aper Brinckle, were lead
ers of Philadelphia society, and
Addie was the centre of an admiring
circle. Pkeverse9 finally swept away
the Doctor's fortune, reducing the
family to uncomfortable circumstan
ces. To raise money for necessary
expenses, Addie sold her piano and
some furniture which had not yet
been fully paid for. The owuer
sued her for wrongful conversion of
the property. With the idea of sav
ing the family honor, Dr. Brinckle
caused his daughter to be placed in
the lunatic asylum, intending to
secure her release in a short time.
He died suddenly, however, leaving
her in the institution where she re
mained until released by the Com
mission on Lunacy a few days ago.
Her relatives and former friends had
either been apathetic or had fo.irid
the rising of unpleasant quesions
that would have followed any at
tempt by them to release Miss Brin
ckle. A letter written to her by Dr.
Thomas (. Morton finally led to im
investigation into her mental condi
tion. She is now at the convalescent
retreat, near Glenn Mill, Delaware
County. Though her hair is gray,
she in in the full podsc-sion of her
meptal faculties and in good health
and spirit!1.

clouds having a rotary motion, and
closed together. An instant of mid
night darkness and the illumination
of lightning flashes followed quick
ly. The thunder w:s mild. A
washout, eight miles this side of
Amsterdam, was repaired last night.

CotopaxL The La Nacion of Guay
aquil, of July 31, baa the following
concerning we event:
About one o'clock this morning
we were awakened by a heavy artil
lery apparently from guns of the
heaviest calibre, which could not
but alarm us. We sprang up hasti
ly from oil! beds and hurried to the
balcony of our house to ask the first
passer bv what had happened. But
the stree was deserted and the ex
plosions followed one another in
wonderful rapidity at times, and at
others causing a continuous roar,
shaking the earth and canning the
windows in' the doors of the house
to rattle. We heard no clamor of
trumpets, nor the opposing shouts
of "vivas" or "mueras" which are so
frequently heard in battle, but what
seemed to be an artillery combat of
colossal proportions. "What could
it be?" "What might it be?"
The damage done is probably con
siderable, as 100 houses were de
stroyed probably by this "allusion."
The number of victims is not known,
A Dakota Water Spout.
St. Pail. Minn., August 12. Ad
vices fraoi Dead wood say a water
spout strncfe Lone Tree creek, near
Chadron, Dakota, last Thursday,
flooding the valley, drowning four
men, two children and a number of
horses, besides washing away sever

box was carried down to White Riv

and the woman succeeded in catch
ing hold of some willows and draw
ing herself out. She was dressed in
nothing but her night clothes. The
third child, ged about four years
was carried down by the flood, but
was found alive clinging to some
debris the next morning in White
River near the town. The track of
the flood was found strewn with
dead horses, harness and grading
tools, while here and there was

Vanderbilt'8 latest Scheme,
St. Louis, Aug. 14. The Globe
Democrat says, as coming from a
high official, that the absorption of
the West Shore railroad by the Van
derbilt lioe is only a part of ascheme
to make the New York Central and
Pennsylvania companies masters
of the situation in all further agree
ments between the trunk lines, and
in awarding percentages. Their plan
is to substantially control the ap
proaches to New York from the West
either through direct ownership or
by a threatening attitude towards
the weaker lines, ami to fortify their
positions strong enough to resist at
tacks from rival companies, they
havematured a plan for a division of
territory and railway property which
stands at the head of all previous
combinations to crush out competi
tion. In this arrangement Vanderbilt is
to hitve another trunk line between
New York and Chicago and one be
tween New York and St. Louis.
