The able free trade editors of the coun

bonebt, to weep a fresh weep. These
taxes were levied simply as a war meas

was born oil Oardiner'j Island, near Eat
Hampton, X. Y., in ISJd. Sue wan edocau-d
in Checnry Institute, New York City, and
after a short time spent in travel through
Eiirojslie came to Washington with her
fattier iu ItvH. A few weeks atusr Iheir ar
r:val tbey accepted an inviLatiou from Pres

down lite river uu the war steamer Prince

aadiy iuarrtd by the explosion of a guu on

President Tyler's first wife had died short

A Step Forward.
New Yokk. July 11. Francis Murphy, of
Pilt.-hurg. wore his bluer.bbon conspicuous
ly tu duy at the liilsf y Iuuse. ami said he
was very happy lxuse prohibition had
been defeated in Pennsylvania and other
Stales. He added :
The deleat of prohibition everywhere is
a good victory for temperance, i'rohihlilon
is Phariseeism. fraud and liypocrisy. It ie
an attempt to bring tiie church and state to
gether again. Tlit people will not permit it.
When preachers band themselves together
to get the legislature to enact laws to regu
late the morals of people they are going
counter to the will of God. The sale of
whisky must be rttricled, and the man who
applies for a license must he known k be re
spectable and trustworthy before he is per
mitted to sell liquor. In truth the liquor
trail. e should be in the hands of good men.
ll sounds paradoxical to say tLU). tut I mean
it A mau of judgment and with the right
spirit, standing behind a har, will refuse to
sell to a man who is an habitual drunkard.
Statutory law? do not stop the sale of whis
ky, and the best thing that can be done Is to
regulate and militate the evil in a legitimate
way. In Maine, whisky is sold in every
tow n. Of course prohibition works splend
idly in Maine, because Uie people there know
that they can get whisky whenever tbey de
sire it. They are content with tbe fraud that
is going on. The law is a dead letter.
It takes two men to commit a crime. The
man who drinks is not going to swear
against the dii-penser of drinks. You never
hear of ti.e man who gels a drink being ar
retted. Then, when loe seller is arrested,
who in the neighborhood ia going lo swear
that he bought a drink from him. Those
summoned to testify can only remember that
the aexiiseJ sold miik or lemonade, and so
tii farce cf trying to carry out prohibition
is ended. Tiie men who sign my temper
ance pledge rarely fail lo keep it. If they do
backslide seven 6r mere times I do not de
spair, but keep at them to refjrm. When
the true spirit of the Lord gets bold of them
they are drunkards no more.
It was time for the jwople of Pennsylva
nia to rise and assert themselves. The death
knell of prohibit ion is sounded. We are go
ing forward instead uf backward, and these
great victories against prohibition are tem
perance vie-tories. High license and restrict
ive measures will promote the cause of tem
perance, and the people ar sensible enough
to see it.
Wheat CroD Prospect.
The condition of the spring wheat crop in
the Northwest, as stated by the St. Paul
J'inirfT IWrt, is not very encouraging. In
Minnesota tbeindicationr now point to a fair
crop, but tbe drouth hs badly damaged tbe
pnisimts iu Southern and Central Dakota,
and the same is true of te regions lying
west of the Red River valley in Northern
P j kola. HaSYeMiiig may, however, show a
belter yield than is now anticipated. The
loss through a drouth is always more severe
ly felt in a locality tiiat depends almost
wholly upon one crop. If tbe partial failuie
of the wheat yield leads the Hakota farmers
to diversify their crops, the dry weather of
l-9 will not be without its compensations.
The year iu which this Territory enters tbe
I i.iou as two States, is a g"od time to intro
duce more modern methods of farming than
those which have hitherto prevailed there.
Western Pennsylvania and West
Virginia Crops.
Crop reports received by tbe Wheeling
It fitter froni the counties of West Virgiuia,
Eastern Ohio and Western Penusyiviania
say tbe bay crop is unusually fine through
out the Ktate. Oats are injured by the rust
iu a few sect ion t. Wheat ia more promising
than it has been for years. The continued
wet weatUr has retarded the corn in many
counties, and and it w ill It only a fair aver
age crop. The js.tato crop will be very
lare. Rerrles have been plentiful, and
peaehe and apples w ill be abundant m a
few counties, but the crop a ill average lower
than last year.

Something of a Kick.
JowtsTow. July 13. -The Presbyterian
Ch'.iivh, with a seating capacity of I.SM, was
filled this afternoon wi'h a thorongbly rep
resentative Isjdy of citi;o, and Rjrrws
liorreil was called lo the chair, and in a brief
speech outlined the object or tiie meeting.
He said that the people of this valley should
themselves have the disbcrsment of tbe con
tributions intended tor them, as the State
commission bsd shown their iixsipacity fur
tbe work. A committee on resolutions was
appointed, who presented the following re
port: That the eitiiens of Johnstown and vicin
ity respectfully, yet earnestly, request that
tbe fond contributed for the relief of the suff
erers by tbe disastrous flood, which devasta
ted the Concmangb valley, be as speedily as
possible distributed in money directly to
people to whose benefit it was donated, and
that all purchases, contracts, and all expen
ses to be paid out of this fund immediately
cease.
That any boarding np of this fund lo moet
problematical future wants, will material! y
diminish its usefulness and only result in de
laying to a more distant tiraa the
anrroB trios or Hons,
of business, of industry and of eonSdence.
It will do more good in the bauds of the peo
ple now than at any time hereafter.
That we repudiate as insulting to the
manhood and intelligence of our citizens,
now that the avenues of trade are opened op
the imputation that they cannot and will
not wisely and economically disburse any
funds placed in their hands, and because of
this imputation, the arrogant assumption
that guardians must supervise our expendi
tures, control our disbnrsnients, purchase
our supplies and make our contracts.
Resolved, that if the statements imputed
to His Excellency, Governor lWver, that
"a million and a half dollars has already
been expended in Johnstown and vicinity,"
has any foundation ia fact, it is the strong
est possible aniument that expending relief
funds in contracting for buildings, quarter
master and cjmmisviry supplies, is not a
wise, judicious or economical wgy of dis
bursing such fiinds. when the ordinary sour
ces of supply are oieneJ up. Only by gross
extravagance and carelessness could such a
sura have been used here, and the people
have received no adtqiste return for the ex
penditure of so Urge an amount.
Resolved, Tiiat the disbursment of the
fund subscribed for relief directly to tbe suff
erers by the flood will
STlliCLATE Bl'SISESS,
will provide work for our builders and trade
for our merchants, will provide labor for onr
artisans and will tend to restore confidence
lu the community, and will thus directly
and indirectly help those for whom the fund
was intended. While any other course at
this day savors of jo!, redounds to the ben
efit of non-resident contractors and business
men having no interest in this community,
and unjustly discriminates against our own
citizens.
Resolved, That ft is unfair and unjust to
exact an oath as to private Income and re
lief before tbe bounteous charity of our
countrymen can be distributed to its benefi
ciaries. Resolved, That we hereby apeal to the
custodians of funds at Philadelphia, New
York, Pittsburg and other localities to
transmit the funds iu their bands intended
forConemaugh Valley sufferers direct lo our
local Finance Committee to be distributed
by that committee immediately in cash upon
requisitions of the Board of Inquiry, upon
such fair equitable basis as may be adopted,
and we Invite the cooperation of such custo
dians in making such distribution.
A'jiJ, That this meeting express its
profound gratitude to tbe mmy thousands
of people iu our town and other lands who
have so spontaneously and generously con
tributed to ibe relief of our people, and duly
now venture on this expression of opinion
because those here assembled believe they
are in this way but expressing the senti
ments of the generous donors of so bounte
ous a fund, as they are sure they express
those of the intend'! beneficiaries.
AN irtMUED ACC0C5T.
Johxstowx, July 13. At the close of the

tion was passed, requesting the State Com
mission to furnish an iU-i:tiz ! statement of

Haruishcbo, July 13. Governor Reaver
to-day made an estimate of the amount ex
j -ended for the relief of sult-Ters by the burst
ing of the South Fork dam, and the amount
directed to lie distributed on account of the
disaster. The Relief Commission a few df ys
ago issued a circular showing that about
tJ,2oO,OJU had been applied for the relief of
the sufferers and the abatement of nuisanots
bnt the Governor's calculation shows that
the amount appropriated for the indicated
ptirjose aggregates about $ ..Mo.OnO.
There has been received by the Governor
through various sources nearly $1,100,000.
Of this amount, about tOtO.OilO had been
nsed In the Conemaugh Valley, and between
$o0,000 nd (00,000 In other portions of tbe
State which sustained losses by tbe flood
leaving in ths hands of the Oovernor
about $.150,000 for distribution. This fund
is used exclusively in providing food, shel
ter and clothing for the sufferers and in sup
plying them with money to give them a new
start in life. In addition, the Governor bas
expended $2J5,000 In abating nuisances ia
Johnstown and vicinity.
. A SXPAEATC PCKD.
The fund applied to the latter purpose
does not come from any of the contributions
but has been loaned for the purpose for put
ting the various flood visited localities in a '
good sanitary condition. It was estimated
at first that $1,000,000 wontd be required to
accomplish this result, but not much more
than one-third of this amount will be need-
ed to meet the liabilities incurred by this par- j
ticular demand on tiie State.
Out of the Governor's fund, made up from
all the States in tbe Union, witli tbe fund
loaned to him to abate nuisances caused by
the flood, there have been expended in the
Conemaugh Valley $0X.oK). In addittion
the following amounts have been expended :
Ky Pittsburgh, $250,000 ; by Philadelphia,
the local committee, $2j0,0u0: contracts for
the construction of bouses, $150,000; trans
portation expenses, $100,000; military ex
penses, $31,000 ; Chicago bouses, $14,C00;
value of food, clothing and other articles
contributed not included in above indicated
expenses, $i00,0is; total, $l,oyo,oxiO. .
Adding tbe foregoing amount to the
$:K'ij.OJ0 received and expeuded by the Gov
ernor (or the relief of flood sufferers and the
abatement of nuisances, the entire amount
axnended and directed to be expended in
Johnstown and vicinity reaches $.',.")00,000.
STILL OTHER AID.
This sum d.ies not Include contributions
by various secret societies and through oilier
agencies not credited to cities or towns that
have made contributions lor relief of suffer
er. The Odd Fellows a lew days am dis
tributed about flS.tmO to member of the or
der who sustained losses by Uie Johnstown
disaster, and two New Yiwk pars each
gave $10,0.j0, which amounts are not includ
ed in tbe Governor's estimate.
The governor has kepi a record of all tbe
moneys be has received, with the names of
the towns, iiutiuilions or idividuals donat
ing them, and the Secretary of tbe Relief
Commission is having a statement prepared
to show tbe amounts contributed by each of
tbe Stutcs lo tiie relief of the sufferers, which
will be published at the proper time. The
cuntribtions are continuing to flow into the
bands of the Governor. YeMerday he re
ceived $11,000, cf which $.s,uoo came from
Germany. To-day between $2,000 and
$3,000 were added to the Governor's fund.
HHP rSOiillESS MADE.
Joiixstowji, July 13. An examination of
the work done on the streets shows that
great progress has been made doring the
wuk. Chief Engineer Hamilton has every- i
thins sv.temitf) and the contractors are
pushing Ibe woik with vigor. One body
that of an unknown woman, was found in
a cellar to-ily. 'ompanies F. ami f. left for

Juige Cummin spent the greater part of
the dav in the town, and had a conference
with the Finance Committee. TbeJtOa
bead committee has completed its labors,
and the resnlt of the distribution of thfs
money has given traile quite a boom.
The State Board of Health issued a notice
forbidding the use of articles of food that
were in the flood in hermetically sealed
packagas.
Sullivan on a Drunk at Chicago.
Chicaoo, July 14. Sullivan came into
town from bis South Chicago retreat early
this afternoon, and by 3 o'clock was very
happy and very full of red liquor. After
"doinc" the levee and making a tour of
Clark street the champion paid a visit to his
good friend Tom Gurley, who hid him in
his Third avenue place when the slugger and
Charley Johnston first crept into town.
In Gurley s saloon John L. met Sailor
Rrown, whu sparred at Ltatfry D with Peter
Jackson, the colored Ans is ian champion,
Thursday n-'gliL Sullivan was introduced
to his brother pugilist. Uedisdaiued shak
ing bauds with Rrown and said: "You're
the nun that fights niggers, eb ?" and to em
phasize bis apparent disgust dealt the sailor
a terrible whack on the nose, sending the ob
ject of his wrath spinning across the room.
Then John ordered a driuk, and climbing
into a carriage with Gurley drove through
the heart of the city. To night be was mov
ing through tbe liveliest portion of the town
likea big, angry comet, leavingadark streak
of vermilliou iu bis wake. .
Jake Kilraia left town to-day for the east.
He departed so secretly be did not even in

Mystery at Sardis.
Gstus-snra.;, Pa., July 12. In an aban
doned well at tbe village of Sardis. in this
county, the dead body of a girl, probably
sixteen or seventeen years of age, was found
to-day by Joseph Walp, a citizen of that
plaoe. No one knew the unfortuate person,
and nothing was found upon her remains
that would lead to her identification, A
jury was summoned by 'Squire McAllister,
but after a thorough investigation "found
dead ' seemed to be the only verdict that
could be reached. Suspicion of foul play are
rife, and tbe citizens of the little village are
considerably excited over the ghastly find.
It is believed by some that the girl commit
ted suicide, but there are others who belive
that she was murdered. Ltraisos are to be
seen on herbody, but they may have leen
caused by the fail into the well. Coroner
Hammer 1ms been notified and will make a
searching investigation.
Harrison at Deer Park.
Deer Tabic, July 12, President Harrison
arrived here to-day, and will spend the
greater part of each week here until the close
of the season. Mrs. Harrison, her daughter
and the McK.ec babies, have been here more
than a week and are already looked upon as
residents. The Harrison cottage is a little
Queen Anne structure, and the President's
family lives in all tbe comfort and simplici
ty of an ordinary citizen of the Republic.
No tread of martial sentry, no trapping of
royal state invest tbe artistic structure with
pageantry and parade of power. A happy
household, as accessible as the circle of any
other family, dwells therein informally, and
affords an example of domestic comfort un
marred by the conventionalities of otlicial
decorum or the restraints of studied exclu
slveness. The little sage-green, red-roofed,
12-roomed structure which will hereafter be
pointed out as President Harrison's cottage
is two and one-half stories high, with artistic
gables. It has a frontage of 40 feet, and is
entered from a spacious piazza, uon which
open three long windows, and is without hall
or anterooms. The parlor, which is the lar
gest room in the house, takes in the entire
width of the building, and is entered directly
from the veranda. It is supplied with a
great fireplace built in the middle of the
wall. The floors are covered with t.ew mat
ting and the walls with buffniiering. The
furniture with green rep has been reinforced
by a number of easy wicker rockers and
lounges, which lend au air of luxurious lei
sure. Off the parlor, ilia wing of the build
ing, is an appartmeut which has been devo
ted to use of the President as a library. Tbe
dining room is of good sise, furnished in red
and aj jining is the kitchen. On the second
floor are tour bed chambers, and overhead,
under the roof, are room for the use of the
servants. The floors of the other rooms are
laid wilb matting, and bamboo furniture
predominates. In order lo add to the com
fort of the inmates, awnings have been plac
ed at all of (he windows.
The grounds in the immediate vicinity of

These appointments, it seems, have been

It is a question with some of tbe appoin

Eighty persons who had orders for porta
ble houses withdrew their applications to-day
when they learned the price which they
were to be charged for them. It has been
developed that those having business stands
on the )ark will have a certain amount de
ducted from what relief they may get on
that account.
The work of cleaning up the dirt goes
rapidly forward. Both bridges across the
Stonyrreek are now completed, and the
pontoons are now to be taken np and the

which assumed almost the proKrtions of a
cyclone psssed over Dinwiddie county, in
the vicinity of Darvills district, this after

Cannot Come In.
WAsaisoTos, July 11 The Secretary of
the Treasury lias decided that all imigran!
w ho come to this country under conditions
similiar to those of the English Immigrants
who recently arrived at New York on the
Obdom, are prohibited from landing nnde
tiie provisions of the aiien contract labor
law.
An investigation of the case hi question
hw the Treasurv Dcuartment shows that J
." -
W. Wrigbtson & Co., of London, England,
have established an agency for the encour
agement of immigration to the Cnited
States, and that they have agents at Rotter
dam and at Sequin, Texas. Persons are in
duced to immigrate to this country by prom
ise of employment, and are furnished with
a circular letter to the Texas agent, whose
business is to procure them work and to care
for them until be does. - The immigrant is
required to sign an agreement lo accept the
Erst employment offered him by the Texas
agent.
Several immigrants holding these certifi
cates have been prevented from landing by
the Col lector of Customs at New Y'ork, and
the British Minister at Washington mie
formal complaint against his action. He
represented to the Treasury Department that
t itre was uo contract, either czpies e! or im
plied, iu the transaction, and that therefore
there was no violation of law.
The papers were referred to the Solicitor
of the Treasury, and he was given an opin
ion that tbe papers which the Immigrant
are required to sign, in which they agree to
accept whatever employment is offered them
is a contract within the meaning of the law,
and Secretary Windom to-day acted in ac
cordance with this opinion.
Washington's Cold Field.
Washi wutox, July 11. Ex-Senator Sabiu
of Minnesota, who has been advertised as
connected wilh a dozen different business
enterprises since his term of office expired,
on March 4 last, will be in Washington in
day or two to look after his latest venture.
He is one of the stockholders in a gold min
ing company that has just begun the work
of digging out the gold from quartz fonnd
on the shores of the Potomac river, a few
miles above Washington. The company
was organised by Michigan men, and includes
tbe new Congressmen from the Saginaw dis
trict. Tbey have purchased land adjoining
that owned by Senator Sawyer, and began
active operations last week.
Every night one of the managers comes
into town with some remarkable specimens
of quarts containing huge nuggets of free
gold, which he says were picked up at ran
doru on the company's property.
Was Kllraln Drugged?
Baltimore, July 12. The statement that
Kilruin was drugged finds support among
tbe Baltimore sports who witnessed the fight
but the effect seems to have been to deaden
pain rather than to cause bis defeat. In
the third round, after Sullivan delivered bis
tremendous blow over .til rain's heart,
Mitchell held to bis mouth a sponge dipped
in a bucket, and after that Jake fought as if
in a trance. Mitchell purchased in Balti
more a drug which acts directly on Ihe heart
and benumbs the nervous sensibilities. The
blow over the heart caused a slowing up of
the heart's action, and after administering
the dose whiskey, to exhilarate the heart's
action, should have been given. A Balti
more physicisn says: "Kilrain was over
trained, and I believe tbe rapid reduction in
his weight was not affected by ha.-d work.
but by powerful cathartic medicines. His
uerves were unstrung, he wss shoulder-
bound behind aud in nj condition to go in
to the ring.
Burled Alive In a Sewer.
PiTTSBfaoH, Pa., July 14. At 2 o'clock

dreds of feet through the main sewer into
the valley below.

mouth of tbe sewer with two coils of tire
hose about bis neck. Andrew N. McGregor
died at 8 o'clock this morning. Robert
Munn, foreman, was seriously injured.
William McClay and Joseph McCarthy were
terribly burised.

The bodies of the victims were terribly mu
tilated by being dashed from side to side of
the sewer and the narrow gully down which
they were hurled by the rush of water.

pose of taking charge of John YeMell, abas
Rev. E. F. Flemon, who is wanted for the
murder of Officer James Black more, of
South Carolina. Mr. Lyon brought with
him J. E. Strong, who has known Flemon
since childhood. Both men are certain that
Flemon is the man wanted by them. Their
description tallies to a letter with the pris
oner. Mr. Strong states that he knew Yel
dell was preaching, having learned lhat after
oonimitling the murder be had been sent to
college. Sheriff Lyon comes armed with re
quisitions from Governor Beaver and the
Governor of South Carolina.

- Ru mora About Blaine.
Wakhugtox, July 14. A report was pnb
lished in a morning paper that Mr. Blaine
bad tendered his resignation as Secretary of
State, to take effect September 1, on tbe
ground of ill-health, and that John A. Kae
son ia to succeed bin. Tbe report b ridi
culed to-night by moet of tbe cabinet officers
in tbe city and by others who are intimate
with Mr. Blaine. Secretary Rusk and Attor
ney General Miller both say there is no
foundation for tbe rumor, and thai Secretary
Blaine's health when be left Washington
about a week ago was better than it was
when be became Secretary of State last
March.
The Putt this moraine; says : "A gentle
man who bas watched Mr. Blaine's condi
tion since the latter came to Washington,
said last night : 'There is no doubt in the
world that Mr.Bjaine is in very poor health.
When be went lo Bar Harbor his skin look
ed dry and lurched and of an ashy hue, as if
the blood had failed to circulate. Walker
Blaine, as Is well known, has been Secretary
of 8tate dt facto tut the last two months. I
am confident that Mr. Blaine will not recov
er sufficiently to again discbarge the duties
of Secretary of State in person aud aa they
ought to be discharged."
Mr. Blains Has Not Hesifincd.
BaLTIKork, July H The Sunt Wash
ington special says : As far . con he lenrned
the run-ir that secretary Blaine has resigned
is without foundation. Secretary Rusk said :
" It is without the slightest foundation. Mr.
Blmne has never thoiij-'ht of resigning. Of
course if lie should get sick so as to be una
ble to attend to Ihe duties of Ihe o.'lice, be
would doubtless resign, but Mr. Blaine is
not sick. He was in better health wiien be
left here on his vacation than he had been at
any time since the Administration began.
There could be no other reason for his resig
nation, for bis relations with Ibe President
have been of the most pleasant character.
No, sir, you can safely say there U no truth
in tbe rumor."
Attorney General Miller stated that there
was no truth in the minors of Mr. Blaine's
resignation. He said ihnt Mr. Blaine's
health was good, and that the relations be
tween President Harrison aud his Secretary
of State were most cordial. Subordinate of
ficials in the State Department also deny
that tnere is any ground for tbe rumor, and
say it is only another of Lbs periodical
scares about Mr. Blaine's beaitb.
Not as Shy aw vome Bivcts.
What a pity the English sparrow is not as
sensitive to newspaper criticism as the
Persian Minister is! Chicago Tribune.
Privata Secretary, Mot Mentor.
A Bourbon contemporary remarks that
' Lige Halford doesn't occupy so prominent
a place before the public as Dan Lsmont
did." It is easily explained. President Har
rison doesn't have to depend upon his pri
vate secretary to tell him what to do, aa Mr.
Cleveland did upon hn.lMrmit Tribune.

But this question has new been solved for

lOO DAYS lOO
of Solid Competition with all tbe prnfrMed
best Sewing Machines in America, be
fore a jury of mechanical experts,
it was awarded a
highest and only award given to Sewing
Machines, pronouncing it to be the most
durable, the lightest and quietest run

purposes. This, coupled with the
fact that it entered tbe field in
1877, when the market was
glutted with Sewing

as any ot'aer Company's for the same
