S-nator Inpalln. a full report T whose
speech in reply to Senator Voorhees is to
be found on the first pajje of this per.
The following from the Philadelphia
Bnlldifl exprefwes the popular thought:
"There hat never U-cn a breed of politi
cians in this country who are more de
testable than the Copperheads and there
wa no copperhead who was a worxe
specimen of the ijnioble race than Pan-i.-l
W. 'oorh. They were f.ilsc, tseach-

who can never be w holly' included by
the north in the Fpirit of amnesty and
good-will with which it has welcotued
liack to the Tnion the men who fought
openly, and gallantly for their trau-e.
Siu-h a man as Yoorhees w ill always car
ry with him a peculiar mark of infamy,
and it is well that the Hiignta shouhl be
branl'd on him deeply as a warning to
nuch politicians in the future. The mouth
had a good deal of use for such men as
Voorhees in the days of the war, but it
probably bad and possibly still has for
him and others like him a certain kind
of contempt such as a court feels for

Just take the plain statement of the
case. Here is a corporation which three
years ago made a bargain to cut ofT the
construction of a cutneting railroad,
w hjch, by the Constitution of the State,
was an illegal bargain. Rcing enjoined
by the courts of the State from fulfilling
their illegal contract, they now come into
the I'nited States courts and seek to pre-

Of course, it isnot likely that the Penn

of securing the enunciation of any such
monstrous ideas as law ; but it is evident
that they hope by tying up the South
Penn with injunctions from careless or
subservient courts to hamper the project
so as to force its abandonment. This w ill j cils, serving w ith honorable distinction in

The attempt must prove a failure; but
there is a volume of instruction in the

A Presidential Suggestion.
Molls American.
No man is growing more rapidly in the es
timation of the icoplc of Pennsylvania than
Siiator Canicron, and if Blaine w ill not ac
ceit, our united delegation should at least
offer his name as one well calculated to in
sure success. Indeed, nothing which can
iiossibly transpire would give a greater slun k
to the nerves of the Democracy, for next to
Blaine, Senator J. Don Cameron can get
more iK-mocratic votes than any other man j soldier with opprobrious epithets, a man
in the land. He is a chivalrous, generous w iio bartered in anus to be used in a revolu

hich every body joined. In hk preliminary
xtc1i the Chairman remarked thai the Pro

quor. John C. Scott, of Philadelphia, was chosen
temporary Chairman and accepted lite honor
in a sjieech. in which he said that high li

from their purpose.
The retioit of the Committee on Creden

Tliere was little done at the afternoon ses

discussion.
THE EESOLtTIOXS.
It was nearly C o'clock when ex-Chairman
Stevens presented the report of the Commit
tee on Resolutions, which was adopted as
originally submitted by the committee. The
platlorm is substantially as follows :
First. Demands the removal of all practices
which, under cover of law, are hostile to the
public welfare.
Second. Pledges the party to the policy of
tottd prohibition by Constitutional amend
ment. ; Third. Declares the arty to be the only
! one which proposes to abolish the liquor
I trnflie by legislation.
Fourth. Opposes all forms of licenses and
denounces the High License law as a delu

Fifth. J Vinaniis the repeal of the internal
revenue tax on liquor and tobaco.
Sixth. Declares for the free use of the Bible
iu the pulic schools.
Seventh. Insists iion the recognition of
the Christian Sabbath.
Eighth. Demands the right of every citizen
to vote as be chooses and denounces the cor

With the exception of that (art referring lo
the provisional dch'gatcs the rcort was

Blaine Coin? to Scotland.
Ni:w Y"EK. May 4. The sensjil ional sto
ries which several of the Democratic pajiers
in this city published concerning Blaine's
a!lc4 intention of luiiif; on the Atlantic at
the time of the holding of the National Con
vention so that he minht lie where he could
not decline if nominated, turns out to lie
like many other "exclusive" stories, without
any foundation in fact.
Mrs. Andrew Carnepie, who with her hus
band, takes an annual oittiiuron the fells of
Scotland, sent some weeks a;ro from her
,lhome in this city an invitation to Mrs.
Blaine asking that she and Mr. Blaine might
join the party in England and pnnwed then
to the highlands. The trip is made entirely
by eoichin:. T. (his invitation Mr. Carne
gie received yesterday from Mrs, Blaine a
kind note of thanks and of ativptam-e. She
and Mr. Blaine will join Mr. and Mrs. Carne
gie, pr.tb.ibly in I.anday, and then they will
j travel by coach along and over the border
1 and tlir jugh the Scottish highlands.
Those who nave ever experienced the
l" r" "ral requisite to

not ueed to be asure (hat Blaine's health
l'' Mr- anJ Mr- Carnegie will
sail for England on June 5,
Mr. Blaine may not be home till late in
the summer or probaMy not before the early

of Mr. Blaine Imto reporter last even

which stood two rows of houses occupied by
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company'! employes. On the hillside stood
a little cottage occupied by John Quinn and
family of fonr children, two boys and two

to the niins.
Quinn and bis two little girls were burned
to death. The two boys escaped with bums.

J Grand Army of the Republic arc still talk
: ing alsmt the admission as a contributing
; memlier of the rebel general, Joseph E.
: Johnston, to the Colonel E. Baker Post, No.
S. The action is denounced hy ninety-nine
out of every hundred niemltcrs and many of
j those who belong to Baker Post who voted
i yea regret having done so. The matter has
i Ixen discussed at every meeting since, and
j there is a possibility that General Johnston's
J name will yet be dropped. It must be un-
dersUKxl, however, that a contributing mem-
lier is not required to take obligations and is
only admitted to the Post rooms at camp
fires.
It is noised about that other reWI officers
j will make application for membership iu
j liaker Post, and other Posts in this city. But
! it is safe to say that no more such pentle
i men will be admitted in the first named jiost
and it is certain beyond a doubt that no oth
I cr xiM in the city will countenance such a
thing. The fact is the ,rand army men
here are overwhelmed with indignation.
Said a post commander to-day : You can
rest assured that no more reliel brigadiers or
major-generals either will reach the Grand
Armv of this city."
! Counterfeiters Arrested
! toona.
Near Al-
i Altoosa, May ,. A .wholesale arrest of
! counterfeiters took place at l.loydsville, near
this place to-day. For some time jiast the
j jicople of this vicinity susiiected that a gang
' of counterfeiters were at work in the neigh
j borhixsl, nnd yesterday the suspicion cul
j minatcd in the arrest of live jn-rsdns, four
of whom are charged with counterfeiting,
and one with tampering with the I'nited
States malls. Detective Simpson, of Lloyds
ville, and an assistant t'nited States Marshal
effected the arrests. Isaac Edmondson was
the first one arrested and a lot of counterfeit
money was found in his possession. It is
presumed he gave information which led to
the arrest ot others, one of them being Dan
iel German, iu whose (Kissession was found
a box containing dollars and half dollars,
and a ronipleteoiittit forcotmterfciting. Two
other persons belonging to the gang were ar
rested nt Coalport. John Myers, charged
with tanqiering with the mails, it is lielievcd

A Cenuine Holocaust.
Ahlikotox. Neb., May 5. At 6 o'clock
this inorniiiK a tire was seen on the fitrru of
l.A U;.l..n. ,'..... ...... ...li ,t ra
siipjKissd to be fie nam ot tier son-in-law
and family, who lived with her. A Kseof
citizens went out at it o. clock to see if all
was well ami were Imrrilied at finding the
charred remains of seven human beiiifrs. on
ly identified by their statures as follows :
Old lady Freeze, Kred GTatchnsfhcn, his
wife anil three children, and Freds brother
'Louis. They were scattered in diflerant parts
of the barn, among (be horses and cows,
some fifteen of which were also burned,
one theory is loiil play, another is that each
one of the family aimed to save an animal
and all failed and wcresutr.icated. A dau'li
te. who is away visiting, is the only surviv
or of the family, but it is reorted that the
hired man is missing.
It was a horrible and pitiful sight, the lay-
I ing out of the charred remains of the family
which fell among twice their number of
dumb brutes. The wife w as found under a
horse. The coroner has been called. No
Lud has existed in connection with this fam
ily and no enemies are known.
Cround by a Huge Wheel.
Col.cMBt s, O.. May 3. Frederick Siedel
met with a horrible and instant death at the
penitentiary this afternoon. He was the en
gineer iu the foundry and in some way be
came entangled in the great flywheel. No
one was in (he engine room a( the time, and
the cause of theaccident can only be surmised.
The foreman of the shop noticed a jolting or
uneven ness in the movement (hat was un
usual, and hastening to the engine room
found the unfortunate man half lying in the
pit wedged between the bank of earth and
the great wheel, ground into a shapeless
mass.
The machinery was at once stopped and
the crushed remains removed. A portion of
Sled el's rntrials were lying in the pit and
portions on theoujside. Every hone in his
body was broken, and his skull crushed. The
remains presented a horrible picture. The
Coroner's jury found that the man met his
death by accident caused by gross careless
ness. A Cloud Tumbles.
Wichita, Kan., May 7. A cloud burst
near Maixe. 15 miles west of this. city, early
fhis jimniiiig. Rain hail Iteen falling all
nigh), an,d yhep the cloud fell there was a
frightful roar, which frightened the peppj,1?
oat of their houses. The streets qf MaifC
Were turned into rushing torrents, the water
finding outlets into tlie Arkansas river.
Many buildings were demolished by tho
Hood. A house in which the Cockby fam
ily lived was sweK otf its foundation and
horn into the Arkainwa, where it sank,
drowning Rockhy, his wife and their two
children. Many horses and cows were also
drowned in the flood.
Hail That Killed.
Losnos, May (I. IHspa'.cheii from India
announce that Iklhi and Moradab have been
visited by disastrous bail storms, almut 130
persons having been killed. The hailstones
were flat and oval in shape, and some of
them weighed as much as two pounds.
At Racebat, in Bengal, twenty persons
were killed, 200 severely injured, and 7,000
bouses were destroyed by hailstones.
Negro Revolt In Alabama.
MoxTioEv, Ala., May 4. A bod condi-f
tion of affairs is rejwrtetl in jwn,les county
growing out of the recent lynching of a ne-
gro murderer by a white mob. The negroes
have been threatening vengeance, it seems
and to-day the Sheriff with a posse went lo
Sandy Ridge and arrested fifteen negroes.
On the way back to Haiueville, the county
seat, the posse encountered a mob armed ne
groes. A eonflict ensued and two white men
were wounded and several negroes killed.
After several volleys the negroes dispersed.
They are reported to be assembling again in
Urge numbers and the Sheriff telegraphed
to the Governor for troops. Foureoruanies
from Montgomery are now leaving for the
scene, including an artillery and calvary
company.
The Greys, Blues and Mounted Rifles, the
latter with their horses, left for Letohatchie,
Lowndes county, at 11:30 to-night. It was
decided not to take the artillery. In thecon
flict tbh afternoon Deputy Sherill Rice,
Merriweatlier and I). Cook, while, were
wounded and two negroes were prohably
killed. It is reported that the negroes are
arming and collecting iu large numbers.
Ever since the lynching of Colloway. in
March, the negroes have been threatening
vengeance. In attempting to arrest one of
them a few days ago he resisted and the
Sheriff wounded him. This infuriated the
negroes and precipitated the conflict to-day.
Candidates for State Prison.
New YoEK.May fi. The special committee
of the state senate, which has charge of the
new aqueduct investigation, will not resume
its work until the state conventions have
chosen delegates to the national conventions
of the two great parties. This delay is ren
dered necessary by the inquiry being carried
on by the lawyers having charge of the in
vestigation for the slate senate. It is the be
lief of all those in charge of the inquiry that,
on information now obtained or obtainable
sufficient proof will be adduced to send sev
eral persons to state prison. The aqueduct
commissioners will not be held responsible
in law unless they are shown to have been
officially cognizant of the tremendous steal
that has been going on. The senate com
mittee have witnesses who are expected to
prove that the aqueduct commissioners knew
that the work on the various sections was
not being done according to the specifications
of the contracts ; that the engineers or some
of them also knew these facts, and that in
seetors were aware of the defective character
of the masonry and of the c ment work.
Witnesses will also be called to prove that
every man who objected to the loose way in
wiicli the work was being done was dis
charged, unless he ceased bis objections and
approved the work.
The Keely Motor Exhibition.
Piiii.iDEi.rniA, May 5. Before Judges
Finletler and Reed this afternoon Richard C.
McMurtrie made a motion in behalf of the
Keely Motor Company lo be made a party
defendant in the bill filed by Bennett C.
Wilson against John W. Keely, and that
the court order that the Keely Motor Com
pany may be represented at the exhibition
of the machinery by a counsel and expert,
the same as, the other parties to the former
bill. Mr. McMurtrie, in presenting his peti
tion, said that the Keely Motor Company
bad fniid $.'IOO,0"iO for their franchises and
they have a right to represented. In fact,
they have more right than Keely, who docs
not own the machinery.
" What I fear," said" Mr. McMurtrie. " is
that the law thinks that the whole business
is a fraud. I don't mean to say that they
think so judicially, but that off the bench or
exlra-judicially (hey do so eousider it."
Judgment was withheld.
Mr. Murphy, counsel for Keely, asked for j
an extension of time for (he iii-iieciioii,
which expires on Monday, and his request
was granted. It is likely that the commis
sion will meet at Keely's workshop on Mon
day at 2 o'clock.
General Beem's Death.
Chic.iuo, May 7. A statement will be
printed in the Chicago Timm to-morrow to
thecirect that the Union Veteran league of
Chicago, of which the late General Martin
Beem was a member, will probably hold a
meeting to discuss measures for investigating
the mystery of his supposed suicide iu Ne
braska, Mrs. Beem arrived here to-day
from Alton, where slut attended the burial
of tlie dead soldier. She w as in mourning
dress.
A new feature of the case is her statement
that the General attempted to murder her
befure he shot himself. This does not eor
resiiond with tlje previous versions of the
tragedy received in Chicago and suposed to
have been derived originally from Mrs.
Iteem. They were in eucct that the two
shots fired were both directed by the Gener
al against himself. Mrs. Bccm's statement
here is that she was awakened by feeling the
pistol in the bands of the General being
pressed against her, and that the discharge
was deflected by her arm, the ball cutting a
hole in her night dress.
Ingall's Statement True.
IxniA.vvr-OLi, May 4.- Capt. Robert E.
Smilb, a well-known lawyerof this city, says
he was in command of the soldiers who at
tacked Mr. Yoorhees on the train between
Terre Haute and Green Castle, the incident
to which Mr. lngalls referred in his speech.
Capt. Smith says (he soldiers did not threat
en to hang Voorhees with the bell rope, but
tlitow him out of the car window. The con
ductor told Capt. Smith of the trouble, and
the latter at once arrested the men and quiet
was restored. Of the sol.lierswho were the
assailants. Capt. Smith says Messrs. B.
Welch, now living at Cloverdale, in Putnam
county, and Lieut. Lee V. St. Clair, a Ret
resentative in the last Legislature, now liv
ing at Salem, Ind., were two. The third is
dead and the fourth forgotten. "I have no
recollection of any attempt to bang Senator
Voorhees with the bell rope," said the Cap
tain, " but he bad a close call notwithstand
ing." Almost Ready.
Chicaoo, May 5. The sub-committee of
the National Republican Committee, com
posed of Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, JS.
Clarksun, of Iowa, and A. L. Conger, of
Michigan met the local committee of arrange
ments to-day. The amount guaranteed by
the latter body has been nearly subscribed.
A rejiort was also made to the sub-committee
concerning the elaltorate decorations
which will appear iu the convention hall.
The great auditorium building is now go
ing up at the rate of a story in ten days, and
tliere exists no doubt Saat the structure will
be in a proper condition for convention ptir
poses by the time the Republicans gather
next month. The sub-committee paid a
visit to the building to-day aud left satisfied
with the proscts.
She Talks Anyway.
Bostox, May 6. Fifteen years ago a wom
an about sixty years of age in Maine touched
her tongue with lye and burned a small sKt
out on the upjier side of it. This afterwards
became an ulcer, and a year ago Boston stir
geons were forced to remove the entire
tongue. Much wonder is expressed as to
bow the woman can talk without her tongue
but she does, aud no one would susiiect the
absence of that organ. The vocal cords
were, o)f course unafTcc'ed and the larynx
not injured in Ihe oiiertiou. These organs,
which are the real organs of speech, n.ul be
ing alfected, it is not won.lerful that she can
talk. Except in the articulation of sonic let
ters she speaks perfect ijr. Her general health
is excellent.

Kit Carson's Son Kilis Kit's Friend.
G-.ri..;i, Col., May .1. Billy Carson, a
son of Kit Carson, the famous scout, shot
and killed Thomas J. Tobins in a fight here
yes(erday. Tobins was a companion of Kit
Carson, and almost equally famous. His
most noted exploit' was the capture of the
Mexican bandits, the Ksouai brothers, single-handed,
for whose capture, either A-uu
or alive, the Territorial and Fluted States
Governments had offered larire rev ards.
Voorhees Is Ashamed of Himself.
WtsHuom. May 3 Mr. Voorhees'
friends are anxiously trying to have his re- I
marks in reply to Senator lngalls stricken
out of the record, and as Mr. lngalls will
hardly make objection it is possible that,
they may succeed. Senator Voorhees is out
of the city, but it is supposed that the re
quest will be made when he conn's back.
The dcliate is still the fiibject of general
comment here, but no sympathy is express
ed for the individual who " galvanized the
corpse " so successfully.
Suicide at Eleven.
P1111.APKi.rmA, May 9. Katie Carney, the
eleven-year-old daughter of John Carney, of
No. 2i2!) Hope street, committed suicide by
hanging herself yesterday morning. The
child's mother died some years ago, and her
little brother was killed about two years ago
by an actideut. She had been keeping house
for her father, who is employed as a lalmrer
and is a di-.-ipi.ted man. Apearaiices go to
indicate that the ilt-cd was her deliberate act.
She had apparently climbed into a chair,
fastened a manilla strand to an eight-penny
nail in the wall, tied the rope around her
neck, and swinging out of the chair kicked
it out of her reach.
