pay for the transjKjrtavion of all old sol
diers residing in that Suite wti.j partici

from the b.ittlrf ground, when the annual

Tn Helena lUriiid says the estimated
wool clip of Montana thin year is !),(XH),
000 pounds, and the price it eomman is
in the market is at leant five cents pe r
pound letter than last year, when there
was danger of the succecs of the free

Montana on one Heawn's crop.
Ossofthe incongruities of the civil
twrvice examinations is the rule that, if
anyone passes the examination and is
not certified for an appointment within
two years, they must pai another exam
ination lefore they are eligible for an
appointment. Why should a second ex
amination be required of those who once
pass and are not appointed, any more
than it should be required of those w ho
pass and receive an appointment?
IIf.rzafter when the President wishes
to appoint a Southern Republican to of
fice, it will be prudent and save him
trouble to first telegraph and ascertain
whether he has been killed yet. A few
elays since Americas M. Xeeley.of Forest
City, Arkansas, was appointed Receiver
of Public Money at Little Rock, when
notice was returned that he had been
shot down in the street, some time since.
Jn March last he had been endorsed for
the position by the leading Republicans
of the State, and his name had not been
withdrawn nor the President informed
of his murder.
Yesterday, for the first time since 1S11,
says the New York .Vn7 and Esrrtx, the
stars and stripes floated above battered
old Fort Sumter. The first w hite post of
the Grand Army of the Republic in
f-utu Carolina was formally mustered in
in the historic fort. The new organiza
tion was fittingly named the Robert An
derson Post, after the gallant Union offi
cer who marched oul at the head of his
little garrison w ith all the houors of war
on April i4, 1;1. It is to be hoped that
Robert Anderson Post w ill prove a strong
and useful unit in the Grand Army of
the Republic one that will tend to
strengthen and perpetuate the loyalty of
South Carolina to the government anl
the nation.
Tii tiuc wag but few of the "old wheel
horses" of the party at the State Conven
tion last week. It was a young mens
convention and they did their work with
the viin and enthusiasm of young blood.
They didn't stop to prove, or condense,
or mollify their expressions, but "blurted
right out" the views and sentiments
w ith which they wereoverflowing. They
knew that a vast majority of the voters
of this great Commonwaalth are back of
them, and they "just let go" and paid
plowing tributes to the administration
and almost everything else within their
reach.
Just read the resolutions and von w ill
be ready to throw up your caps with the
youngsters. There is an earnestness, a
heartiness, a swing and rush in them
that stirs the blood. The same dash and
uthuiawii in the campaign will put our
Majority up to an hundred thousand.
Thk Republican State Convention that
assembled in Harrisburg on Wednesday
of last week did its work speedily and
well. Henry K. Boyer, of Philadelphia,
was nominated for State Treasurer with
out opposition by a unanimous vote. Mr.
Boyer is one of the youngest men ever
nominated for an important oflice in
Pennsylvania. He has served for years
in the House of Representatives, an 1 has
a clear, pure, able record. He received
the very unusual compliment of a nomi
nation w ithout opposition, and will un
doubtedly be t-lected by an overwhelm
ing majority.
The resolutions adopted by the con
vention are somewhat verbose, but they
deal with all the live issues of the day,
and especially emphasize the devotion of
the Republicans of the State to the doc
trine of Protection.
"The doctrines enunciated at Chicago

''san.l majority. With renewed empha
sis we realhrm these cardinal principles,
'"and again submit them to the electors
"of Pennsylvania for their approbation,"
is the ringing challenge to the free trade
Democracy uttered in the first sentence
of the platform. By this sign we will
conquer as we did in 1SSS. Pennsylva
nia lead the van. It wag on a Pennsyl
vania platform that the lost great Nation
al battle was waged and won, and the
eyes of the Nation are now fixed upon
Pennsylvania eagerly watching lier Re
publicans "press home this living issue"
and deal Democracy its death blow in
the State.
THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Andrew Re-elected Chairman
Speeches and Resolution.
The KfxiljlUau 'late Convention met at
Ilurrirbur;.'. AVednesday and nominated
Henry K. Buyer, of Philadelphia Jex -Speak,
er of the House, fur State Treasurer, and re
flected V. H. Ancrrws.of Meadville, Chair
man of the State Committee. There wsa no
opposition to either of them.
Walter I.yon, of Pittsburgh, was
chosen Temjwrary President, and Senator
!i, Uiiiairr, of Cra for i Conn'y, who is in
..iiiiiiii Ur the Gui'i'tiialoital rn.niinati.Mi,
was made Chairman of I hr Convention, and
said :
Since we last met another battle has been
fought and w-n. I congratulate you thai
the Ih-mormt have been sent to the rear.
We should be pntnd of Pennsylvania's rt
iu this noble victory. As in tlte War of the.
K.-UUion Pennsylvania's soil Ixvame the
field or the decisive tattle of tn-U-j burg, so
in l.v Pennsylvania famished the keynote
of the victorious republican platform pro
tection to Amrican industries. As in 1HCB
the end of the war was foreshadowed on
Pennsylvania soil, in isi the end of Democ
racy's rule was declared by Pennsylvania.
So in war carnage, as Hancock held back
the advancing hordes at Gettysburg, so in
lsHt the fearless (lay, by the force of his
masterly management, stayed the onward
march of Democracy, Urcat excitement,
bats thrown in air, with loud cheers. Since
be won, what a nvairniticent administration
we have had by Harrison and James G.
Blaine. Chucre Tor Blaine.J Here in Penn
sylvania we have superb organization among
Itepublicaiis. We are admired all over the
States. Hut how lately were we called to
mourn for Lim.wl.o molded and peretuatc.i
this State organisation Simon Cameron.
Passing o" to P'f'y 'juestions, Chairman
Dtlamater s.vd the greatest enemy his coun
try ha to-day is sectionalism. He describ
ed the place whirc it flourishes as "that
land where the p.siile wi re oni-e solid for
slavery, llien (or r.-U-llion. and always solid
f..r the I'iiioera'T-" Throe influcmv in
the hands of Republicans will break a solid
South, he thought, viz : First, tarit! and pro
motion of internal industries in the South ;
second, admission of new Stairs in the
Northwest ; third, passage of liberal pension
laws.
Mr. Delamater talked for half an hour.
In conclusion be said : " Let us extol our
soldier Governor whose administration in
peace is as judicious as it was heroic in war."
Then. Mtigularly enough, the sjiker referred
to the calamity of Johnstown, briefly, right
after bis conipliimiiury allusiot. to Governor
Beaver.
The platform wis now read and adopted,
and then Arthur Kennedy nominated Will
iam H. Andrews fur State Chairman. The
nomination was approved by acclamation,
and Chairman Andrews merely bomed his
thanks.
Senator Boise Penrose, of Philadelphia, in
an eloquent eulogistic speech, nominated
Hon. II. K. Boyer for State Treasurer. In
seconding the nomination brief speeches
wete made by James K. t ree, of Chester;
Hon. Henry Hall, of Mercer, and Major
Montooth, of Pittsburgh.
The following is the platform as presented
by General Reedurand adopted.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania in con
vention assembled, submit the following
platform: Toe doctrines enunciated at
Chicago in June, 1VS, by the National Be
puclican party rei-eived the endorsement of
the eople at the polls in the following Nov.
X"Kn them the Keystone State set the seal
of her approval by SO.tMi majority. With
renewed emphasis we affirm those cardinal
principles and again submit them to the
electors of Pennsylvania 4r their approba
tion. We greatly rejoice in the victory of 1S8
for a twofold reason. First, because it was
fought and won undrr Pennsylvania leader
ship and Uiou a Pennsylvania platform, and
second, because llie executive and legislative
power in the Union has thereby been restor
ed to the ll-piiblican party, which, within a
period of less than thirty years, has rescued
the country from the rils of rebellion, of
treacherous reconstruction, of financial dis
honor, ami of reckless industrial legislation,
all of which are iuvolved in the policy and
acts f the Democratic parly as now govern
ed. The Republicans of Pennsylvania claim
e-jecial lecognitioii for the reason that in
the hour of its extremity they furnished to
the election and Republican organization a
Chairman, who, during all the anxious days
of the rcent National campaign, in co
oicralion with the honored representatives
of other Slates, bo controlled the iurces at
band as to compel victory. The thanks of
the Republicans of this Commonwealth are
due and are hereby tendered to the Hon.
Matthew S. yixay for the honorable and
masterful way in which he conducted that
canqaign.
We cordi i'ly indorse the administration of
President Benjamin Harrison because it
steadily devotes itself to the work of a broad
and intelligent administration by competent
and trust y otlicials, and makes its rules of
inflexible duty the faithful observance, net
the hypocritical evasion, of the public stat
utes ; because it proposes honestly to oollei t
and honestly to disburse the proceeds of
public taxation, and seeks so to adjust the
b-irdeus thereof ibat those persons and in
t ;re U able to bear the most shall hear the
most, and those able to bear less shall bear
the least, and that in all cases the vexations
and inquisitorial forms of taxation shall be
first reduced and abolished ; because it is
pledged to give to suffering communities iu
ned help in the necessary work of public
education, in order that thereby the citizen
ship of this country may be elevated ; be
cntse it aims to secure by adquate legisla
tion. We protest against the offense of stippri ss
ed and miscounted ballots, of e-verted te
turns and false certificates of e'ection, and of
murderous methods of maintaining the in
sufferable wrorgs which now stain the
records of Soutlieni States, and touch the
honor of the Southern eple, making of
elections in most of those States a fraud or
farce, whose fruits are a large body of Dem
ocratic iuriers now assuming to represent
these Statis in the Legislative halls of the
Nation, and because, more than all else, it
makes a its cardinal aim in foreign affairs
the vindication of the rights of America and
the defense of the honor, safety, and dignity
of nil Americans, and in domestic affairs the
advancement of our own interests, tlie en
largement of our industries and the up
building of the labor of our own people,
against all of which the Democratic party
stands as an everpresent danger and men
ace. " Protection " is the corner stone of politi
cal faith. Its greatest blessing is that in
protecting the American laborer and manu
facturer it strengthens and builds up all in
terests, resulting in the promotion of a great
diversity of business enterprises and a home
market. It thenby nurtuus not only the
interests primarily and directly protected,
but all interests, particularly agriculture
which finds iu the certainty and higher
prices of home markets its greater advant
age. Pennsylvania Democrats bare until
recently, claimed the uniqe distinction of
being Democratic Protectionists. At last,
however, the controlling element in thai
party, Hot only in the nation, but in the
State, has netpitvocaliy announced its an
tagonism to Protection. It is our duty to
take advantage of this opportunity and press
home this living issue. We will thereby
give Democracy its death blow in Pennsyl
vania. If protection to American industry be the
cornerstone of our olitical faith, then pro
tection to those who fought in defense of tlie
I'nion is its capstone. We reverence the
memory of llu intrepid iiartyrs who gave
their live -upon the field of battle, and of
those other heroes, burdened witu years, and
covered with s .irs, who have since cone to
their rest. But tears will not snfllce for the
tens of thousands of brave soldiers who still
survive. We advocate such amendments
to the pension laws as will make adeqaute
provisions for all honestly discharged veter
ans of the late war whoee advancing years,
wounds, or other infirmities disable tbein
frirtii total or rGsl slf Miprt. Th.ir
who saved lim nation fnrtii dissolution
should be saved by the nation from penury,
and we heartily enmraeud the wise and
fritndJy liberality shown by Commissioner
Taunerto brother soldiers in the conscien
tious discharge of the duties of his otlice.
The Republican party having in de
clared in favor of the submission of the
question of the prohibition of the manufact
ure and sale of intoxicating liquors to the
vot of the wtiple. and having in two suc
cessive Legislatures through the method or
dained by the Constitution and in spite of
Democratic opitil!oii provided the machin
ery for reaching a fan expression on he pub
ic sentiment and the vole, to secure which it
was pledged having been taken, declares that
it has fully and honorably fulfilled its com
pact in this regard. In view of the result of
said election, and having regard for the pres
ervation of the purity of the homes of our
CoruiiK.nweanh, we heartily indorse the
Brooks high license law and recommend
such amendments thereto as will tend to its
proper and progressive improvement and
also bring within its scope the control of
wholesale licenses.
We indorse the action of the last Legisla
ture in providing for the appointment of
commissioners to revise and consolidate the
law relating to the construction and im
provement of the public highways of this
Commonwealth and to consider the subject
of local taxation with a view to a reasonable
and just equalization thereof. These are
questions of vital concern to the people of
Pennsylvania, particularly to tiiose engaged
in agricultural pursuits, and should, as they
doubtless will, receive careful and intelligent
consiileration from the respective legislative
commissions.
The administration of Governor Ik-aver
continues to merit the confidence and ap
proval of tlie U-puMicans of Pennsylvania.
From its inceit:on it has Ixien able, dignified
and clean in every dearttiieiit, and derv.s
the continued nsi t and approval of the
citizens of the Commonwealth.
The catastrophe which has recently visit
ed Johnstown and otlutr sections of the State
and touched the heart ot all form of civili
zation on tic face of the earth, apeal es
pecially to the sympathies of the people of
this Commonwealth, who have witnessed
with thankful hearts the generosity of all
nations. We urge Chat the next U-gislature
take such constitutional action'as will best
provide jKTmanent relief for the stricken
sections.
The death of General Si.non Cameron, for
sixty years a conspicuous son of Pennsylva
nia, and for much of that time in the hon
orable discharge of important public func
tions, State and National, executive and leg
islative, is a great public loss which properly
demands of Ibis convention an earnest ex
pression of their deep sorrow, and that they
should testify their admiration and venera
tion for his career and character.
TBI 1.KM1ERS.

Boyer and Chairman Andrews:
Henry Kline Boyer, the Republican candi

Harrison at Bar Harbor.
Bab HiRBoa, August 8. President Harri
son arrived here this evening,- and was ac
corded a magnificent reception. The Presi
dential p-arty, with the addition of President
Lord, of the Boston and Maine Railroad;
Lieutenant Governor Bracket! and members
of the Governor's staff aud a corjis of news
pajier men, left Boston at nine o'clock this
morning.
A large crowd witnessed the departure,
which was made to the accompaniment of a
salute by Battery A and the continued cheers
of the crowd. At all the stations on the
route crowds also assembled, and the enthu
siasm of the cople was unbounded.
When the President arrived at Mount Des
ert he was warmly greeted by Secretary
Blaine, w ho had come over on a special boat
from Bar Harbor. The Presidential train
had arrived a few minutes before the 8 A.
M. train from Boston, and the boat, a Bjiecial
one, had only a few passengers beside the
notable ones. Messrs. Hani on and BU'ne
walked upon the npperdeck and stood at the
bow looking at the boat, which started about
5 I'. M. They were obliged to put on over
costs very soon, for a chilly evining on the
water followed a warm day ott the land, but
they kept their place on deck till the wharl
at Bar Harbor was reached.
Here evety house was decorated and thou
sands lined the streets and cheend enthusi
astically as the President passed. The two
carriages which led the line turned iu the
Stan wood grounds, and at the cottage the
President and Secretary of State were receiv
ed by Mrs. Bla'ns, Mr. Lodge, who, with
his wife, has been Mr. Blaine's guest for a
day or two, and Mr. Halford followed, and
Mr. Walker Blaine brought up the rear.
This evening the President is dining quietly
a ith the Blaine family and resting after the
excitement of the Boston reception and the
trip of to-day.
Tried to Give The President a Scare
Borox, Aug. One of the terms of the Bos
ton City Parcel Deliv.ry Company was stopped
in the street on Wednesday by an unknown
man, who handed the driver a small parcel
directed to "President Harrison, Hotel Ven
dome." The driver w as somewhat elated at
the prospect of having the opportunity of
delivering a parcel to the President, and took
it to the main otlice, No. 42 Somer St., where
the superintendent, Kdwin 0. Fitch, direct
ed bimtoopen it carefully. Several wrap
pings were removed, beneath which were
two pieces of thin board, such as would be
used to protect photographs or glass from
injury. The man who was ontng this
mysterious parcel was not in the most euvi
able frameof mind all this time. His mingled
emotions of pleasure and anger, however,
when he had disclosed tbeentire"mechauU.
ism" of the "infernal machine" need not be
described. He found at the bottom of tlie
package only a book, which bore the start
ling title "Dynamite Catridge." Between its
leaves was a card of matches and nothing
more. The book was again wrapjx-d up and
delivered to the clerk at the Hotel Vendome,
and probably reached the President or his
private Secretary.
Burned In Effigy.
Atusta, Ga., August 9. Postmaster
Lewis and Colonel A. E. But k were burned
in effigy before the Court House to night in
the presence of probably 10.0U0 people. Thia
action is the result of Iwi appointing a
negro to a place in the Registry Deartment
where he would come in contact with a
white lady clerk. Colonel Buck is the Re
publican leader, and is suppotcd to have in
spired the appointment.
A Genuine Elixir.
PiiiLii'ELi-iii. August Id. Dr. C. F-lis-worth
Hewitt, of this city, has been exri
menting with "the elixir" tur over a
week, with marked success, and to-day he
experimented ou a reporter who had beeu
allected with loss of sleep. The reporter
loosened his clothing and exposed his left
breast. The doctor filled a syringe with tlie
fluid and thrust it under the reporter's skin.
For tlie moment the pain was acute. The
physician rubbed the spot vigorously to
quicken circulation, and awaited tlie result.
After a brief feeling of la: utness there came
an awakening of circulation in every part of
ho body. The joins departed within l-
minutes, and in half an hour the reporter fell
like one who has arisen from a healthy sleep.
An hour before the exritnent he had taken
a car to ride two blocks, but now he was
ready to go to work with a rush, and to look
on the bright side of things.
Dr. Hewitt lias had wonderful success iu
treating an old man who was sorely stricken
with rheumatism. The man was a charity
patient at a city infirmary, and did not
know that he was being treated with the
elixir. He has received seven injections
and, although three weeks ago he was very
feeble, is now decidedly strong. Another of
Dr. Hewitt's eight patients is a packer in a
cigar factory who has been treated for catarrh.
He knew nothing of the character of the in
jections, and in three doses has been trans
formed from a lifeless young man iuto a
sprightly one.
Dr. Hewitt is a modest young man, and
makes no clams to being the first to use the
elixir in this city. He is of the opinion that
it will come into general Use by physicians,
and that it is a marvelous tonic, the best and
most rapid yet known. He does not believe
that it will restore structural decay, but
looks upon it as a stimulant which is
the most effective yet discovered. He has
made no investigation as to the extent of its
1 lower.
Death of Judge Cummin.
Willi Ausrorr, Pa., August 11. After an
illness lasting three weeks, Judge Cummin
died this morning at Crvssotl Springs, death
being caused by Bright' disease. It has
been known lor some time that he was
atllicted with kidney trouble, and this was
probably aggravated by the work done by
him while a member of the Flood Relief
Commission. The remains were brought to
this place for interment this evening.
Hon. Hugh Hart Cummin was born at
Liverpool, Perry county, Pa., May 35, 1HJ1.
He was of Scotch-Irish ancestry. In the
days of his boyhood he attended the village
school of his native place, in which he tanght
afterwards while still a mere youth. He re
ceive.! academy training and studied assid
iously at home. lnlSJ2he came to Will
iamsport, where he has resided continuously
up to the present time. He has contributed
largely iu many ways to the growth and
prosperity of this city, and has been ac
knowledged by all as one of our representa
tive citizens. He read law with the late
Hon. Geo. White and was admitted to the
bar in August, ,Ht'r4. During the rebellion
he went to the front for a time and, upon
his return home he went into partnership
with his preceptor, under the firm name of
White A Cummin. On the death of Mr.
While in 1x70, Mr. Cummin took up the
practice of law for himself, and soon estab
lished a reputation as one of the ablest law
yers of the State. In H79 he wa3 elected
Judge of the Lycoming pounty district as the
people's candidate, serving his full term of
ten years on the bench with singular
ability, fairness and credit to himself. Jude
Cummin married Cnarlotte, the daughter ot
John White, Ei , of Williamsport, on May
25, lSdt. The only surviving son to this
union is John White Cummin, who is now
in his Sophomore year at Harvard.
Reign of Terror In South Carolina.
Charleston, August 8. The McDow ver
dict seems to be bearing its legitimate fruits,
and the nimble pistol is once more at work
in the Palmetto State. There have been a
dozen or more shooting and cutting a flairs
in the State within the past week. Only the
fatal encounters have been reported by the
Associated press. The latest case occurred
in Laurens county yesterday, when O. W.
Lansford, a prominent citizen, shot and kill
ed Barrett Langston. Both men were white.
A vendetta between the Lansfords and the
Langstons has been declared, and both fam
ilies are now on the warpath. In Bamberg
there is also a vendetta on, between the
Prices and Stewarts, growing ont of a caning
and shooting affray that occurred several
days ago. In Charleston the colored "man
and brother' is folio sing clos -ly in the foot
steps of the white brother, and is using the
shotgun, pistol aud razor with deadly effect,
There have betn no less than five or six
shooting and cutting encounters here within
the past three days.
The AVirs and Cuurier will say editorially
to-morrow : "The State is smeared with
blood, from the seaboard to the mountains,
and there is no telling whom the next shot
will strike. What are we going to do about
it? We need not try to disguise the fact
that the administration of justice has fallen
into a state of innoccuous desuetude. The
press and the pulpit should tqxak out, now
and all the time, egainst the violation of the
law ; and should denounce every niisi-arrJage
of justice as a blot upon civilization aud an
outraje upon humanity."
Ceorge Washington's Chost.
Harrissi ru, August 12 The I'nion Ho
tel, at Wrightsville, was built in I'M, and at
one time Washington used it as headquar
ters during the revolutionary war. Room 7
is still honored as his sleeping apartment,
and, ai-cording to its present proprietor, the
furniture and fittings are the same now as
when Washington occupied the room a cen
tury and a half ago.
Few guests are put in this jmrticular room,
because it is alleged that at a certain hour of
the night the wall facing the bed is illumin
ed, and the reflection of Washington's face
can be plainly seen. The most singular fact
is that no matter which way the bed is
turned the reflection is always on the wall
facing the headboard.
J. M. Austiu, of York, known throughout
Central Pennsylvania lor character and ve
racity, recently occupied the chamber, aud
he declared he saw the reflection. He says
he knew nothing aliont the room prior to
the night in question, and that the face was
a precise counterpart of tlie pictures of
Washington.
Proprietor Hoke says that the leather
seated chair now in the room was used by
Washington, and that its mate is in Inde
pendence Hall in Philadelphia.
A Fly Causes the Death of a
and Horse.
Man
PcsxsurAWSEY, P. , August 12. Moses
Elvich, a junk dewier, had a team of horses,
and he thought a great deal of them. He
had been engaged to haul a load ef furniture
for a man who was moving from Brookvilie
to this place. It is a hilly road and the
horses needed careful watching. While go
ing down a steep hill Moses saw a large fly
on the neck of one of the horses. It annoy
ed the man ss it did the horse, and the little
insect caused the death of the animal and
also of Moses. Elvich, in leaning forward
to bru&h away the fly, fell to the ground and
broke his neck. The horses took fright,

Deputy Fnited Stales Marshal, living in
Wyoming county and widely known ior his
bravery in hunting down moonshiners, was

standing near bis barn door, when a dozen
shots were fired at him from a clump of
bushes. He was wounded in two places and
ran. He received a third shot as he entered

we agreed that when we were married we
would have the knot tied on theSwitchback.
We had a lovers' quarrel, and I went to San

responding again, and last ii'ght we deter
mined to carry oulonr romantic intentions.
We were going to wait until to-morrow, but
wlmt's tlie oratter with our having it done by
moonlight ? Permit me to introduce you to
my intended bride. Miss Nellie White, of
New York City. My iiameis John T. Long

nuptial supper. Then all boarded the car
and the prospective bridegroom shouted :
" Now, let her go," while the car w as going
at the rate of a mile in thirty seconds, and
was making i's circuitous dash along the

He Holds Upa Passenger Train.
Milwaukee, August 8. The Wisconsin
Central passenger train from Chicago, which
passed Chippewa Falls at four o'clock this
morning, was held up and to1i1h.i1 by a sin
gle man, liclween Chippewa Falls and Ab
bottsford, half an hour before.
At the named hour a man entered one of
the sleeping cars of the train, commanded
the conductor and porter to throw up their
hands, aud proceeded to go through ihem,
taking ull they had. One passenger was also
robbed and a shot or two fired, but no one
was hit. The robber pulled the bell rope as
soon as he had compled the robbery, and
when the train came to a stop he jumped off
and escaed. No attempt was made to fol
low him. The ball fired at the porter whiz
ed within an inch of his face.
The man was described as having the ap
pearance of a woodsman. He wore a slouch
hat, and carried a gun and big knife in his
belt. He entered the sleei-er aud drove the
porter to one end of the car. The porter did
some jelling to awake the ssengers, where
tt(on the robber fired. Thisputaquietuson
the porter, aud the roblier got in his work.
He took from the conductor a watch and $.io,
a watch from the porter, and from a
passenger some money and a watch. He
tackled another passenger, but the latter told
him the conductor had all of his money.
As a matter of fact, however, the man had
$uOu on his person.
Skeletons In a Cave.
Dknvib, Col., Aug. 12. A most remark
able story has reached here from Aspen,
Colorado, regarding an unexpected find in
one of the principal mines iu Aspen Moun
tains last Thursday night. As the story
goes, the night shift in firing a blast broke
into a wonderful cave, which they proceded
to explore. Going iu a few feet they found
the walls covered with crystalized lead
that glittered like diamonds. The cave had
a descent of about twenty degrees, and the
men found rooms and chambers grand be
yond description. They had entered about
200 feet when they found a flint axe. A
little further was a pool of fresh water, and
a strong current of fresh air was felt. Fur
ther on the chamber was discovered covered
with a brownish muck that was sticky. Tbe
man who was in the lead suddenly stopped
and said : " There sits a boy." Sure enough
there sat a human form. His head was
resting on his knees and his arms were
drawn around his legs, Indian fashion. A
stone bowl aud an axe were found beside
the figure. The body was well preserved,
but in trying to lift it one arm broke off.
Other bodies in different attitudes were
found in the chamber, but when disturbed
they crumbled. The discovery has raised
great excitement in Aspen, as the bodies do
not seeiu to be those of Indians,
Desperate Huns.
Greessbiko, Pens., August 11. Another
outbreak is expected to occur at the Hecla
coke works in the morning, the Huns at
Mammoth held a secret meeting last night,
and decided to renew the fight on Monday,
and prevent the rajn at Hee-la, Fnited and
tue other works in that locality from going
to work. Msngers were ser.t here this
evening to notify the Sheritf of the inten
tion, and a posse was at onie orpaniztccon
listing of forty men, with Winchester rifles,
and sent to the Hecla works. A-sistait
Superintendent Rowe came here to night.
He say s the Huns are iu a terrible state of
excitement, and it may be that the outbreak
will occur sooner than exjiected.
Engineer (inen, who was beaten by the
desjierate mob yesterday, is in a precarious
condition, and will probably die. Another
of the injured, who had a rnsty pick snnk
into his shoulder, will also die.
Some of tlie workmen are afraid to go near
the works, and have not beeu seen since the
raid yesterday. "The Huns say they will not
allow work to proceed at Hecla until the ad
vance is given them at Mammoth. There
are not more than half a dozen Americans
in the mob.
The deputies who left here to-night car
ried forty rounds of ammunition, and it is
exected, from tbe appearance of the men,
that blood will flow freely if an outbreak
should occur.
Sullivan to be Tried To-day.
New Ohi.eans, Aug. 12. John L. Sullivan
left Christian Pass Saturday morning for
Lookout, where he spent the day. He took
the early train for this city in company with
Bud Renaud aud Matt Chine, and upon ar
rival was driven up town where he remained
during t)te day. Later he took a train for
Purvis, arriving there about G o'clock. Matt
CI u ne. Bud Renaud and several others ac
companied Sullivan to Purvis, where a
special term of court opens to-day to try the
pngilist. John Fit zpat rick will also go up
to-day to stand trial for refereeing the fight.
Sherill Cowart has already drawn the grand
and petit jurors, so there will be no delay in
the trial. The accused feel somewhat dis
concerted, as tbe law prescribes a fine or im
prisonment or both, at tbe discretion of the
court.

Cape May, August 8. The steam yacht
Manatee returned to Cape May Point laud
ing this afternoon at 1:30 to procure surgical
treatment for Samuel Fessenden, of the Quay
party, who fell down the little hatchway

this evening in tbe Presidential suite of
rooms in the Stock tou. It may be weeks
before he can be removed. Senator Quay
and party will remain here a couple of days
and then resume their summer fishing cruise
so abruptly broken by this accident
Minnesota's Bis Wheat Crop.
M i ssea pons, August 8. "The w heat crop
of Minnesota and the Dakotas will reach
S5.000,(iUO bushels, and I think will go to

of Colonel Eodgers, the editor of the Market
Recurd, this morning. It will be the best
crop harvested in six years. ,
WHEN THE STATE WITHDRAWS.
Time to Face the Condition that
soon Must Come.
From tbe Johnstown Tribune.
The time is approaching in fact, isalniost
here when the citizens of Johnstown must
face their conditiou as it will present itself
when the State shall have Withdrawn its
workmen find its health otficers.
Cnder oriers from the Governor, the work
of the Board of Health will practically ceae
bere to-raorrow. All the laboring force of
tbe Sanitary Corps, will be laid ofT, except
about ten men, who will be retained to at
tend to the distribution of disinfectants. The
number of men relieved will be about
seventy-five.
A foreman and nuisance inspector, two
teams for distributing disinfectants, and the
sprinkling cart will be retained. Camp
Mack, on Baumer street, will be abandoned,
and the buildings will be used tor storing
the surplus ollins now at the old Milville
Morgue. The Prospect Hill Cemetery men
will also bqjrelieved. Tbe otlice force will
likewise be reduced. Dr. W. II Matthews,
Chief Medieal Inspector ; Dr. G. W. Wag
oner, Medical Inspector for the South Side ;
Mr. M. E. Bennett, Chief Clerk; Mr. Rob
inson, the Accounting Clerk ; a cook, ona
messenger, and a policeman will still re
main ou duty, though probably for a short
time only.
Dr. Benjamin l-.ee, Secretary of the Board,
is now at Long Branch with his family.
After a rest of a week or ten days he will
again visit Johnstown, but only for a day or
so, his work here having practically ended.
It may, therefore, he said that the State
Board of Health will virtualiy withdraw
from this city after to-morrow, although the
assurance is given that a careful supervision
of the sanitary condition of the valley will
be maintained for some time, and, in the
event of any manifestation of an epidemic,
all the energy and resounsr. of the Hoard
Hill at oni-e he applied lo stay it.
In coiiuee-tion with the virtual cessation ef
operations by the State Board c.f Health,
there comes also the information that the
work of cleaning streets, alleys, etc., by the
Slate is aixuit concluded. A rumor preva
lent in town this morning was to the effect
that Captain Hamilton had orders to with
draw his forces ou and after Saturday, Au
gust 17th.
Inquiry at the Captain's headquarters did
not confirm this rejiort. The Captain was
not in his tent, but gentlemen who were
there and who claimed to be in iiosition to
sjieak for him, said that no such order had
been received from the Governor, "although,"
it was said, "the time is near at hand, no
doubt, when work will ceae."
There are now about five hundred and
forty men and over two hundred teams under
Captain Hamilton. The force is engaged at
present principally in 0eiiiiig streets, which
branch of work is nearly completed. Orders
from the Board of Health for the cleaninjof
about one hundred and fifty cellars yet re
main to be executed. Thia dyne, there will
remain nothing further for the State to do
within the range of its constitutional func
tions, and it will retire.
Just how soon this will hapjien nothing
is known otlii iaily. There are not wanting
reasons to believe that it will be within the
next ten days. In what condition we will
then be left every citizen fully realizes.
Our bridges are insecure, our rivers tilled
up, and tbe rites oi our former homes cov
ered with disease-breeding tilth and debris.
l.'pon ourselves will devolve the expense
and labor of removing tbe latter, but are
wc able to with the two emergencies first
mentioned ? The general judgement is that
we are not, and Dr. Lee, of the Board of
Health, recognized thisfa. t when be appeal
ed to tbe President iu our behalf on these
points.
As to our prospects of assistance in the
dredging and opening up of the rivers and
the building of bridges, there are various
ideas, but there can I no difference of opin
ion among us as to Die necessity of urging
the matter on all possible and projer occa
sions. In this proceeding we can count on
the unceasing and determined assistance of
Dr. Lee, of the Board ol Health.
lie, it is already known, has made appli
cation to the General Government for a pr
tion, at least, of what is known as the ' Con
tingent Fund,' which is maintained for me
in National emergencies involving the public
health, and a letter bas been received from
Surgeon-General Hamilton inquiring wheth
er or not an overflow of the rivers, which
the Doctor stated in his appeal to the Gov
ernment is likely tooccur at any time, would
result disastrously in a sanitary ixjint of
view. To this reply has been made that
such an event certainly would have a ten
dency in the direction indicated in all
probability would result in an epidemic.
Basing our hopes on this strong presenta
tion ef the case, and on assurance frim
other influential sources, it would seem that
there is at least a fair prospect of some as
sistance from the Federal Government.
la tbe meantime we must do the lxst we
can, always remembering that help general
ly comes to those w ho manifest a disposition
to help themselves.
