An Enemy of the Potato.
It is said that a white grub, an inch and a
half long, and a la rye around as an ordina
ry Iead-iencil, is making havoc among the
potatoes on some farm in other eoantiea.
The grubs work their way into the potato,
and board and lodge, there until there is
nothing left of it but a thin hell ; llien they
take up their quarters in another. The ort
of it n there seema to be no way to get rid of
lliem. There U no outride indication of
their presence, and before it i aspet-ted they
have pit in their work.

New Series of Postage Stamps.
Mr. Harris, Third Aistant Postmaster
iieneral, says that the new series of iostaKe
slamjis soon to be issued, will vary little
from tlie designs now in use. Tlie vignettes
will not be changed at alL and the portraits
on the new stamp will be identical with
those now in use. The chief object of the
ciiange will be to make tie new series of ad
hesive suini conform to those embossed on
the envelos now issued from the dejiart
meiit. To this end there will be several
changes in the colors employed. The most
noticeable of these will be the two-ceut
stamp. This is now brown. In the new se
ries it will be of millori green.
Poisoned by Canned Tomatoes.
Mm4 Shanks and her daughter, Mrs. Lay
ton, residing near Fayette City, Thursday
ate some canned tomatoes which had been al
lowed to stand in the can several honrs af
ter being opened. Ilolh women were taken
violently ill soon after supr and went into
convulsions. A physician wan called and
labored with them throughout tlie entire
nieht. At last accounts they were still in a
critical condition. An examination sliowed
that the acid of the tomatoes hail attacked
the lining of the can as soon as the air was
aibiiittrd, and had eaten away enough of it
to isou tlie entire contents.
The Jubilee of Liberty.
The progress maile by the Commission in
arranging tlie detutls, and the remarkable
unanimity with which the different Stute
tiovemments have responded to invitations
to participate in tlie celebration of the one
hundredth birthilay of the American Con
stitution, leaves not the slightest room for
doubt that the detnonstratioii will he the
Isirgest and most imposing event ever held
on American soil, burring only the great cel
ebration of l7tt. The grand tra.W-s and iu-du-trial
pnsiession of September l.'rtb, will bi
an epitome of our industrial pnsgtvss in one
hun.lrisl years. It will comprehend all
branches of iiHitistry, and in many instances
tlie adviKYTOenl of particular bran. Ixsi will
be .lemoiistruusl by working mtidcls of the
old cotilraoted with Llic ik-w way. EmiUests
for alignment to positions in the line are
pouring ill on the Chief Marshal from every
field of industry in the various parts of tlie
country.
The military demonstration of the lth
will also be a most interesting and brilliant
feature. Fifteen thousand tns'i of the va
rious Slates, besiihis dctach.iM'iits of marines
and regulars, will be present and jrticiite.
A most striking feature of the para-le will be
the contrast ottere.1 by the Revolutionary
soldier si. Ie by si-le with the guar. t men . of
t-.lay. The North Atlantic squadron wi 11
amhor in tlie Ielaware i'T tlie occasion, and
a grand naval pageant will form a I art of
tiie sjs-ctacular ceremonies.
Tlie principal event of the 17th will be the
commemorative exercises to be presiied over
by the President of the I'nitcd States, and
a.biresse.1 by a Jusths? of the Supreme f.Viurt.
The Presiii tit and his Cabinet, tlie represen
tatives of foreign government at Washing
ton. tlie ttoveniors of the States, and distin
guished people from all parts of the land will
Is? present during tlie celebration. In addi
tion to the events mentioned a large number
of other entertainments, public receptions,
and special features, will serve to make the
three .iiirs the most brilliant ami inn-resting
ever known in the liiMorr of the o,iaker
City. .
For the benefit of the vast multitude of
(ssipl e who will thnmg to tlie city on this
occasion, tlie Pennsylvania Railnmd Com
pany will sell excursion tickets to PhiUdel

A Pastor's Surprise.
5t ocurred to the members of the New
Centreville Lutheran Church living in New
Lexington and vicinity, that it would not be
inappropriate to surprise tlieir pastor on his
birthday anniversary. The evening set apart
by this party was also tlie evening of the
meeting of a certain committee of which the
j iat or was a memljer. On leaving borne he
was enjoined by his wife to return at an
early hour, as the Reformed pastor and his
wife were expected to call tiiat evening. I
n-tumed, and was not surprised to see them
present. I'ut a siiort time eiased when an
unusual clatter of hoofs a rumbling of
w heels, and above all the sound of voices
was hesnL A halt was made in front of the
li mortage. In the darkness of tlie night,
being cloudy and forts sling rain, it was dif
ficult to discern who they were but it was
S.H.U discovered they were lie foes, bet
frirriils. Wonb like these were heard, via:
" Hand me that bundle." Where is that
package T " Give rue my basket, please,"
et-. These rai.Wrs were led by a certaiu die
tor wIki nneerenH m iously demanded admis
sion, and informed the inmates that they
bad come to occupy the parsonage for s time
and tiiat the dining-room sli.iul.1 be tlieirs

THE GREAT HOLIDAY
onaferw j t
Barnum and His World of W
Coming.
The public general iy. as well sa hundreds
never seen at any other traveling entertain
ment, will assemble at Somerset on Monday,
tlciober loth, to patronize and atfilaiid the
Barnum and Loudon I'ttity of Show, for
aiut from tlie magnitude and interest of
this truly great exhibition, it is a notable
tact that it is managed by upright tuen upon
saltan- business primiplea, deals honestly
with the public and is really a moral as well
as a mighty enterprise. Its two monster
menageries and enormous herd of wonder
fully educated elephants, many kind of mu
sic, vast museum of living .marvels, three
great circuses in three- rings, hog elevated
stage for Olympian games, grandly classic
Human hippodrome, royal caravan of cam
els and druiuedariea, host of foreign celebri
ties, ten acres of tremendous tents, solid mile
of special railroad trains of rare living feat
ures and astonishing performances, and tlie
grand and sensational free street pageant,
liave not only been liberally enlarged and
enrich.!, but new and unique features of
the greatest interest added, such as the most
wondrous Hatry Family of Bunnalt, the re
vered Mascots of King Theeoaw and his roy
al predeceasurs ; are! the brave, ingenious
and celebrated Captain Paul Boynton, giving
his extraordinary nautical exhibitions in
the waters of a specially constructed artifi
cial lake. Among these towers the mighty
form of Jumbo, transformed by the scientific
genius of Prut Henry A. Ward, of Roches
ter, New York, into a double wonder ; for at
the side of the African Colossus as natural as
life stands his prodigious skeleton, with
each enormous bone in proper place a mass
ive marvel, without precedent or counter
part. "Alice," Jumbo's gigantic, wise and
affectionate "wife" and widow, and the
m.Mt famous and interesting of all living
creatures, has also been obtained from the
Royal Zoological thtrdens in Loudon, Eng
land, What a day it will be for the little
folks, and, for that matter, the children of a
larger gruwth, as well:
Burglars About.
Between the lime of dosing their st.ires
Moti. lay night and daylight Tu.-s.lay morn
ing the Drug Store of tieo. W. Benford A
Sin and the Dry nsls store of J. B. Snyder
was entered by burglars. At Betiford's a
large pane of glass was broken from one of
the alley window and an entrance effected
in this way. Although the show rases were
rilled with valuable grasls and there sere
many articles of value, easy to be carried
away, distributed throughout the store the
only thing found to be missing was from ten
to a dozen bottles of a preparation .if malt
whiskey for medicinal piirimsea. The thieves
unlocked ..me of the front ihsirs and maile
tlieir egress in that way.
At Snyders a large pans of glass was care
fully cut from tlie uiper sash of one of the
windows in.the rear of the store and through
the opening thus gained, tlie sash bolt was
removed and the lower sash was hoisted.
Here the burglars ma-ie a more extensive
haul. All the fine dress gooils. pocket booki,
pen knives, etc., were taken from the shelves
and I'ass and carried away. A new ladder,
which had been used by tl.f) burglars was
found staniling up against the building in
the morning. Mr. Snyder thinks that his
loss will amount to from four to five hun
dred dollars.
An attenit was made the same night, and
it is supposed by the sunte gang to break
into several private residences in the town.
There is a very strong suspicion as to who
the guilty parties are, and every means pos
sible will be taken to huut the rascals down
and bring them to Justice.
Death of Ex-Judge Musselman.
The announcement of the death of Kx-As-srs
iate Juilge C. C. Musseintan, which took
place at 3 o'clock Sun.lay afternoon occaim
ed a great surprise and shock to this com
munity as it was generally believed that he
was slowly but surely rwnvering front the
fever with which be and all his household
had been stricken alsiut four week since.
It seems that the Judge bad progressed well
toward rewvery when on Friday evening
last his kidneys fail. si of action and a rela;nc
set in, followed by blood poisoning. The at
tending physician. Dr. J. M. Lumber, saw
at ouce that the case was ho less and so in
formed the family, suggt-sting however, that
the opinion and advice of another docbir
might be of some satisfaction. Late Satur
day night a telecrtm was sent to Dr. L. T.
Beam, of Johnstown, who arrive.! in Somer
set on the first train Sunday morning.
Judge Mussel man was li' years of age aud
was a prominent citizen of this county.
I'litil within the past two y.-arsbe resided
on an elegant farm ou the line of the Somer
set & Cambria lailmad, about three miles
north of town. About two years ago be dis
pined of his farm and purchased a pmi rty
on Fast Main street, which lie greatly beau
tified and improve.!, converting it into one
of the haii.l-suncst am! most comfortable
homes aisitit the town.
The body of the Ju.lge was embalmed and
will lie kc-t until I o'cl.sik Wtsluesday after
r ion, in order to allow his two sons who
live in the West to reach here in time Sir
the funeral which will take phtus at that

Confluence Notes.
The campineeting in the Excursion fJmve
did not close on last Sabbath evening as was
exe led. bnt wiil be continued ihniugh the
week. Rev. C. W. W. Fraier, the minister
having the meeting in charge, is a native of
Africa. He was captured by a whaler about
t wunty years ago and kept on the sea by his
caitom for about eight years, during which
time he was taken to China and Constanti
nople. On the return trip from China the
ship was wrecked and lie was rr- trd from
death by a British vessel and carried to Liv
erpisil. Afterwards lie was landed at Castle
Garden, New York.
Mr. Fraxer is a remarkable man and lie.le
serves mneh credit for his indomitable push
and pluck. He has not only learned tlie arts
of civlilized life, but has also aciuired a good
education, and is in every respect a gentle
man, and has made fir himself many friends
here.
He is a -native of the Congo Valley and
belonged to the Carrio tribe The hair of
his head and face drop off during the cold
weather iu this climate but grow again when
the warm weather returns in the spring. He
is rather a fine -peaker. and bis earnest man
ner never fails to make a favprable impres
sion u.n the minds of his hearers. He also
lias with him a tnupe of tlie best singers
that ever came to this place. Mr. tievrge
Lee, of Connellsville, is one of tlieni, and
those who have beard (George can form some
ile of tiie singing.
The meeting has been well attended and.
as a rule, good order has been maintained.
A few young folks, some that would like to
lie called Lubes and gentlemen, did not con
duct themselves, en bast Sabbath evening, in
a becoming manner. I presume tliey could
not restrain themselves any longer. Some
of th.-m had nit and respectable parents at
home who would have been pained to have
seeu tliem misbehave.
Tlwise girls who laughed so loud, made a
very favorable imprtswion after all ; the peo
ple know there now by their voices and will
shun their company. Some of those pert
young men who putted cigar smoke in the
Lite of auditors just to let them know that
tliey could buy cigars on credit, or beg them
from Some one else, matie for tlieniselves
friends such as tliey deserve. When a man
can be brought to our siwirea from benighted
Africa sud in twelve years becutue a cultur
ed gentleman, and be able to entertain a
lare awlieece of intelligent pwiple, w hat is
the condition of those who were brought up
in litis country, having during the whole of
tlieir lives enjoyed the benefits of free schools
and free institutions aud cau't behave them
selves during tlie time tlie Ouspel is preach
ed. Man must certainly be totally depraved.

IT WILL BE BUILT-
A Gentleman who Believes In the
. . South Peon.
"The equity suit begun by the Pennsyl
vania interests in the Foiled States courts at
New York against the reorganization of (he
South Peon pn.jeit is a sign of utter .lesjr
ratiou," said a gealknum eonnected with
the South Penn to a reporter the ither day.
It shows conclusively that tlieir courts to
stop theouiupletunt of the cooipetittg hue
have reuched the stage hc1l no action, Ihjw
ever unpre.e.k-iite.1, wilt I ..initt.-il tiiat af
kitiU a straw to catch at. Tun best lawyers
tell me that nothing like it was ever beard of
in legal practice. Here is a legal dispute in
which the interests of two Pennsylvania cor
porations are involved, that bas been fully
argued in the State courts. The prelimina
ry injunction has practically shown the
claim of the Peuasylvaitut railroad to be
against public policy and contrary to the
constitutioa. But while the final hearing in
the State courts is still pending the Pennsyl
vania road seeks to take tlie question to the
United States Courts in another State and to
have's question decided there which b
wholly subject to the constitution of this
Stale. This shows that the Pennsylvania
railroad recognises that the day has gone by
whew it can hare its own way in the Penn
sylvania courts, and is resorting to desperate
measures to drag in the authority of outside
courts.
The remarkable nature of tlie suit ap
pears in another respect. The bill tries to
make it appear that the bargain for the de
livery of the South Penn was completed.
The fact is that the stock which was to trans
fer the control of the South Penn was never
delivered, nor did the r per centum speci
fied in tlie Vanderbilt-Roberta bargain even
sign. The entire bargain fell through wben
the 6) per cent, stipulated ' iu the original
deal did not assent to the transfer. The only
claim the Pennsylvania has is upon certain
individuals who agreed to deliver it certain
securities or shares which it desired to con
trol, providing Wi per centum of the whole
signed.
"That agreement has been enjoined by tlie
State Courts as contrary to the State Consti
tution, and a re-argnruent before the sunte
tribunal is rethreshing old straw. But even
if the filial decision of the courts should hold
legal the only right that the Pennsylvania
railroad would liave would be to sue those
who had nut camel out their agreement,
fbr breach of contract. Their present pre
ceding is exactly the same as if anyone
should claim that a failure to deliver stocks
in any corporation should prevent that cor
poration from transacting the business for
which it was chartered. Yea, in addition
to the commentary which this proceeding
nukes on the claim that it was not tlie Penn
sylvania railroad, "but some otner corpora
tion that purchased the South Penn, it re
veals the desperation with which that
corporation Is catching at any nieth.sl, how
ever unprecedented, to choke off the new
project."
The gentleman referred to the immense
cost and capitalization of the Pennsylvania,
and then said : " The Pennsylvania railnud
will always be able to eam a large profit ou
its legitimate and honest investment. The
effect of the fourth section of the inter-state
commerce law is to give the shortest line be
tween two points tbe advantage in transpor
tation over ronmlabout lines. That is per
fectly right in a business point of view, and
Its operation at present is to the advantage
of the South Pennsylvania railroad. But
the effect of the South Penn is not only that
it will share this advantage, but it will
puncture the huge capitalization of the
Pennsylvania. What chances will that cor
poration have to force rates tiiat will yield 6
per cent, on its immense capital, practically
representing the cost of two nuuis, with a
competing line that will cost &4,iv"?
This is the point which agitates the Penn
sylvania rood. It is tbe rompleti.m of a line
the capita of which only reprtsteros the
modem cost of construction that makes the
Pennsylvania railroad so desperate.''
Is there any likeliltood that its efforts to
choke off the new pniject wili have any suc
cess ? "
" I do Dot think so. The eompictiou of the
South Penn as an indepeuiieut line is as per
tain as anything in the future can be. The
agreement for tiiat purjss I icings up one
jsiint about which the Peunsylvauia railroad
makes an erroneous statement. It is alleged
tiiat the reorganization and reconstruction
of the South Penn nwl is between the minor
ity interests. Now tlie fact is that before the
anvnient was presented to tlie subsnibers
of the South Penn project at large it had re
ceived tlie approval of tlie majority interests.
Tiie history is that a meeting was held in
New York at which representatives of Pitts
burg and New York capital comprised a ma
jority of the -South Penn capital, and the
agreement was arranged before that meeting
adjourned and received the signatures of tbe
majiriry of tlie capital, the basts of which is
tbe corupletiou of the road. Wben tlie agree
ment was presented to tlie other Pittsburg
aud Philadelphia subscribers the matter was
pra.-ti.ally set led ; but tlie assurance bas
lieen strengthened by tlie fact tiiat over thrce
quartersof the old capital has now signed
tlie new agreement, with some counties yet
to hear from."
" Will the new route be able to command
the Reading outlet?"
" Undoubtedly. It has the contract for
that purpose, and it is flirt her true that the
Reading will be glad to carry out the con
tract in letter and sHrit instead of seeking to
eva.le it. A good deal of misapprehension
exists a to the position of tlie Reading in
this matter. Mr. Corbin is maintaining
friendly relations with the Pennsyvaniarail
roa.L as is good jsilicy, on all matters in
which the interests of the two corporations
agree. But if auy one supiosea that he will
sacrifice the interests of the Reading, in a
matter where as pnaiperity is at stake, for
the sake of averting tlie enmity of the Penn
sylvania, tliey are mistaken in the man."
' What is the ptrrpect of tlie new road as
an investment? "
t
" The entire capitalization is limited by
the agreement to .. ,. jo common stock,
fM,0flO.nri preferred stock, and lit",""""
bouds. This total of jLLivs will buil d
and stork the road from Harrisburg to Pitts
burg, and is ample Kir all purposes. The
only question as to the return on this invest
ment was whether the road eon Id get 1
issi,uts tons of freight a year, and tbe ton
nage is now guarnteed to it as soon as its
lines are opened. .The Hunting & Broad Top
railroad alone, which is bottled up by the
Pennsylvania railroad at both ends, will give
that amount of freight to the new road.
Then the tonnage coming from the Robert
Hare Powell estate and from the Western
Pennsylvania gas coal interests that have
been shut out from the east in the interest of
the Westmoreland Coal Company will bean
important aiklirioa to the traffic. The Cum
berland Valley, which is one of the richest
districts in tlie state, has been squeezed by
the Pennsylvania railroad, just as Pittsburg
used to be. and tbe rwopb- of that valley have
since the fart of reorganization was published,
written to Pittsburg stockholders in the South
Peon that tbe Cumberland Valley would put
ioi ,'. into tbe South Penn nad as soon
as it was ready to commence work. Tiie
bonds of the new line are gilt-edged with the
guarantees in traffic contrails that are made,
and its future is assured. The Pennsylvania
railnxid may make a few more iLvperate
efforts, but tliey will be ft'.tile, as fiir as anv
one can now see."

Eev. Dr. John II. Vincent, Chancellor ; ninth,
counselors and officers; tenth, the Board of
Trustees. The members of the class passed
withut the Golden Gate, the little girls in
white scattering flowers in their pathway to
tlie Hail of Philosophy, in which structure
Rev. Jesse Lyman Huribut, D. D, gave the
public recognition. The procession then re
formed marched to the Amphitheatre, where
a nutgnilicet.t address was delivered by Rev.
Joseph T. Duryea, of Boston. After lunch
eon another gathering was held in the Am
phitheatre ; letters were read by Chancellor
Vincent from the Chautauqua counsel
ors. Dr. Gibson, of London, England ; Rev.
Bishop H. W. Warren ; Rev. Dr. Wilkinson,
of TarrytoWD, New York ; Rev. Dr. Lyman
Abbott, of the Ob-utuA Uhum, New York ;
Rev. Dr. Kdward tverett Haie, preacher, au
thor, lecturer and philanthropist, of Boston,
and Rev. Dr. Carlisle. Late at night there
was a ghostly burlesque recognition demon
stration, with procession, oration, distribu
tion of diplomas, etc.. that was eiceeiliiigly
funny, as a whole and in detail. It ie strong
ly suspected that Mr. Frank Beard, tlie artist
and humorist, aud Mrs. Frank Beard, who
is something of everything that is bright
and good are implicated in the affair.
The waiters at the Hotel Athenaeum gave
a tine and lively entertainment in the ntud
.lining ball hist evening. These waiters are
stu.lcnta of Oberlin IWlcge and the Syracuse
University who, by service at tlie tables,
make tlieu annual ouliug at Chautauqua
n-uiunerative as well as restful and enjoya
ble. Professor Henry Drummor.d, of the Free
Church College, Glasgow, and Rev. A. M.
Fairbairu, President of Mansfield College,
Oxford University, have made a profound
impression by their lectures and addresses
from the Chautauqua platform this season.
Both are pronounced blondes, of pure Scotch
biood, and both are of very simple ami
ciiarmiiig tuatiners. Professor Drummond,
the author of that remarkable book, " Nat
oral Law in tlie Spiritual Wori.i," which
has most favorably impressed thought: (J and
intelligent religious people in both the hemi
spheres, and in which the anthor has brush
cUaway the clouds between many honest
doubters a! their Creator, has delighted
thousands of Oiautauquans from all purrs of
the lamL, by has cieumes in tlie expression of
reiigous kteas and principles, which are
abreast with the advanced thought of the
age. And yet Professor DrummomL who
has ac quired a world-wide fame, is only 311
years of age. Principal Fairbairu. of Oxford
has shown himself equal, as a lecturer and a
philosopher, to any person who has ever oc
cupied the Ciiautauqua platform. His ad
dresses on religious and political movements
in history have not only greatly pleased
tltwusan.la of people, but have greatly tn
structed them. These two men, aud our
own Chancellor Vincent, who preached last
Sun.lay, have lifted Cbautauquans into a
higher and purer atmosphere of retiiriisrs
thought and opinion broad, expansive and
aggressive. I may well and truly say, iu
connection with this, that Chautauqua is
larger and better, iu all respects, than it has
ever been before fbrtheatteinlancehaslieeti
greater, and the receipts larger than in any
previous year. About two hundred thous
and people liave been ou the gnun.fcat one
time or another, this year. "
Another royal spirit who has been on the
Chautauqua platform, last year and this, Is
tieorge W. Cable, who has read hi "Story
of Giunde Poiute," and passages from his
book, Dr. Sevier." These were read with
wonderful pathos and power, and Mr. Cable
captured his immense audiences e smust
and in detail, making fast and enthusiastic
friends of every man, woman and child in
Chautauqua. Cable is a man of slight figure
but erect as a pine, with a perfectly formed
head and one of the finest face from which
human eyes have looked. A few yean ago
Cable made a Sunday-school speech at Bos
ton in which be said : I have five children
and half of them are girls." Tlie omnipresent
ld ly shouted out, Thai's a lie ! " " No.
it Isn't,'" said Cable. " fi.r the other half are
girls also." " But tlie story is spoiled now,"
said Mr. Cahle to the writer of these few
lines, " for a sixth girl has made its appear
auee which is a boy."
' Much a.lo about rushing," bas been
made concerning an affair which is truth
fully described as fiillows, in the Jantestown

The meeting of tlie numbers of the Assem

ed in much confusion, and was the scene of
a .lisgraceful attempt to disrupt the pned
irurs. Tbe printed constitution ami by-iaws
gives n. itice of the time and place of muetiug
and public notice was given from tlie plat
form of tlie Amphitheatre, besides printed
notice in the jtwwWy UtruUl. The rules of j
the Assembly requires a lease holder to re

for trustees. A lirger number than usual
gathered aud a ballot was taken, when it
was found that only IJH votes were cast,
which number was not tbe necessary one
third of the whole number entiried to vote
as required by the constitution. Then ac
cording to tlie rules toe meeting was adjourn
