CrovEEXou Fattisox has designated
April Vj'Jx and J'th as Arbor days, the

proclamation applicable to the Northern
and Southern portions of tbe State.
The Southern ltemocrata claim that
they are again in tbe boose of their fath
ers, and they arelustiiy demanding that
the fatted calf be slaughtered and the
rings of office be placed npon ti.eir fin
gers. It is probable that the Republican
Slate Convention will beheld ia Harris
burg on August COth. The Republican
primary election of this county, to nomi
nate candidates for county offices and
ielpgates to the Slate Convention, will be
held on Saturday. June 24.
Thc rush of office seekers at Washing
ton is so large and so persistent that the
President and his Cabinet Officers have
been compelled to give public notice
that on two days of the week (Tuesdays
' and Fridays) the doors of their respect
ive offices will be closed to applicants.
IsnAM i. Hakkim, who has just been
elected President pro tempore of the
I'uited Slates Senate, was Governor of
Ten when that Stale seceded from
the Union. Now he roosts on the top
rail in the highest branch of tbe law
making power of the government he at
tempted to overthrow.
It is vu'.arly supposed that it is the
right and duty of the . Congress of the
United Slates to frame all laws pertain
ing to the government of this country ;
but it is announced through the Iemo
cratic pre that Secretary Carlisle has
kindly assumed the task of framing a
new tariff law, thus saving the next Con
gress much worry and labor.
It is said that eleven sons of United
States Senators Lave been appointed to
clerkships of Senatorial committees of
which their fathers have just been made
chairmen. Senator Pefler, of Kansas,
having no son handy, has appointed his
daughter clerk to his committee. What

As soon as the weather settles we will
probably have a new postmaster at Mey-
ersdale. The coming event is looked for
ly the general public with curiosity and
by the interested parties with anxiety.
It is of much moment from a double
point of view. First, because it will allay
the intense agitation prevailing among
the citizen"- of tbe "Metropolis," and sec
ondly, it will determine w hich of the
warring Democratic factions in this coun
ty is on top.
The New York tiui publishes a racy
article which pretends to map out the
program of the Democracy to capture this
State. The plan, according to the writ
er, is to elect Governor I'attison Mayor ol
the City of Philadelphia, to succeed Stu
art, the present Mayor, make Attorney
General Hensel the candidate for Gov
ernor, to make Philadelphia a Iemo
cratic city, and to boom Pattison for the
Presidency in !S06. All of which is very
interesting as well as amusing.
' Tu Democrats in the United States
Senate have determined to ignore all
precedents and to make an effort to re
organize that body at once instead of
waiting until the regular meeting of Con
gress in December, as has always been
the custom. TLe Republican Senators
will resist this attempt to take "snap
judgment," and as there is no such thing
as the "previous question" in the Senate,
the Republicans, by adopting Democrat
ic tactics, can talk the reorganization pro
ject to death.
Mr. Secretary Hoke Smith's Atlanta
JuiimtU opposes the nomination of post
masters at a primary election because if
the Republicans would come into power
"Then we would see the postoffices given
"to the man who : could poll the moat
"votes at a Republican primary. That
"rule applied to Georgia would give as a
"negro postmaster in Atlanta and in
"nearly every postoffice in the State."
What terrible outrage it would be if
Hoke and his lily-fingered friends would
have to receive the mail at the hands of
an intelligent negro !

Rulesfor Reappointment.
WashimuTos, March 23. It is generally
understood here lhat President Clereland's
no-reappointment order does not apply in
tbe following cases:
First To tfioee who have do opposition
for reippointment.
Second T those candidates for poatmaa
terehips who have opposilioa, but are in

their city or town.
Third To those who were removed by
the Harrison administration without aerv

A Mountain of Silver Metal.
Tbe boi silver now stored in tbe Uuited
States Mint at Philadelphia amounts to
110,' 00,000 ounces, the largest quantity ever
deposited in one place in this country. This
quantity is equal to 2jO,0uO pounds avoir
dupois, or 3.125 tons. Loaded npon wagons
carrying oue ton each, and allowing forty
feet for each team and vehicle, this mass of
metal would make a procession over twenty
miles long. The quantity is so great that a
new steel lined vault, 35 feet long, 8 feet
wide and 10 feet wide, has been built to ao
commodate a portion of it. Piled full from
floor to ceiling, however, this new addition
holds ooly Sj,.O,0U0 ounces. As silver bull
ion is being poured into tbe Philadelphia
Mint at the rate of 3,?kw,0w ounce a month,
it will be only five or six months when an
other Dew vault must be bnilt when the
purchase of ine white metal is stopped.
Women Registering to Vote.
ToPEKvKan., March 2V There ws a
rush of women last nibt to the polls to reg
ister for election, it being tbe last day. Col
ored women and servant girls crowded soci
ety women in the rush and several swell so
ciety women became disgusted and left
without registering. One young woman ans
wered "twenty" when asked her age. When
told she could not vote, she quickly replied :
"Yes, I can, too; I'm married." It took a
great deal of talking to convince her that
marriage did not confer the right to vote.
She then gave her ae as 21 and said she
voted three years ago in Wichita.
The wife of one of the Slate officers refus
ed to tell her age. Then the commissioner
had to guess, and because be made it a few
years more than she really was, she went off
in a terrible passion and vowed that she
would not mix up in such a scramble with
the trash of the city anyway.
Important Changes.
Tbe two elecii.ms held under tbe new bal
lot law prove that some amendments to it
are necessary. The matter has been under
discussion in both the senate and tbe house,
and both branches of the legislature have
referred the subject to the elections commit
tees. John II. Fow is on tbe sub-committee
of the bouse, which has charge of the ques
tion, and he says that eleven important
chang-s have been agreed uion by that com
mittee. "Tbe first amendment," said he, "is to
strike out of '.he ballots the residence of the
candidates. This is considered wholly un
necessary. It is in tbe nomination papers
and only increases the size of the ballot by
priming it on them. Second, to reduce tbe
Dumber of ballots. Third, fix one day to de
liver the ballots to the judge of elections in
stead of two. tbe ballots to be delivered on
the Monday before the election. Fourth, to
extend the time for the sheriff to issue his
proclamation. As tbe law reads now it is
impossible for him to comply with it. Fifth,
to require the common pleas court of tbe
district when nominations are made, except
those made in state conventions, which shall
be tried in Dauphin county courts, to decide
upon the validity of all certificates of nomi
nation. Sixth, that in marking th ballot
each candidate s name be marked with an
X and the group marking be done away
with. Seventh, ail groups to Lave a party
appellation when that party for ten years
has been making nominations in a slate con
vention. Eighth, to repeal that portion of
the law which requires the sheriffto issue a
proclamation for city elections. Ninth, that
no candidate shall be allow! to act as a
watcher or be permitted in a booth after be
has voted Tenth, that election offijers shall
not be permitted to prepare a ballot for a
person who claims to be disabled ; and elev
enth, to require all persons who claim to be
disabled to make at'idavit to the same.
Smallpox Among Paupers.
Jsrset City. X. J., March 25. Smallpox
has broken out in tbe old men's pavillion at
Snake Hill, aud it is feared that the disease
will become epidemic in the alms house and
other county institutions. There are over
1"0 cases in the pest hospital, in consequence
of which tents have been erected for convales

Beauties for our Fair.
Lospo. March 25. The loviliest and
most precious freight ever sent to America
went out on tbe Paris from Southampton
to-day. It is a dazzling galaxy of 51 young
women, who are supposed to represeut the
best types of beauty of the old world, and
were shipped by the big liner as a living
ethnological exhibition for tbe Chicago
Fair.
It is not known whether this bewildering
company buy realizes the poet s dream of
fair women, for no one was allowed to look
upon tbe aggregation of loveliness, who are
said to be of the ne plus ultra of Kurope's
fairest maidens, having been selected from
several thousand ambitious creatures.

Tortured By Burglars).
PrrriSCBGH, March 23. The four masked
robbers who have been operating in and
around Findlayvilte, on the Baltimore fc
Ohio Railroad, in Washington coutity, for
the past two years, turned op in that neigh
borhood again yesterday and added another
atrocious outrage to their already long list
of crimes. They went to the residence of J.
C. MoClelland.a wealthy farmer, residing
one mile from Findlayville Station, during
the absence of all members of the household
except Mrs. William Kerr, McCelland's mar
ried daughter, and IS months-old baby.
McCleliaud bad gone to Washington. Pa.,
to deposit $2,000 in the bank. The robbers
were after this, and after terrorizing Mia.
Kerr and tbe cbiid began ransacking the
house. Tbe baby cried, and one of tbe men
grabbed it by the threat, choking it. Tbe
mother flew at the fellow, who bit ber a blow
with his fist, knocking bertj the floor. She
was then bound and a gag forced into her
mouth and thrown upon a bed, while one of
the gang stood watch over ber with drawn
revolver.
beb haib err from beb bead.
Finally after an boar's search, foiled in
their attempt to find the money, they return
ed to where the helpless woman lay and de
manded that Mrs. Kerr tell where the mon
ey was secreted. This she was enable to do.
Roughly loosening ber hair, tbey cut it from
her head. Then one of the men took tbe
baby from the room.
Soon the mother beard tbe baby's screams
and was toid that ber child was being killed
by inches and the only way to save its life
was to disclose tbe hiding place of tbe mon
ey. The frantic mother tugged at ber hands
until tbe cruel strands cut into tbe flesh and
blood gushed from nnder her finger nails.
This continued for some time, when tbe men
ran from the house.
M rs. Kerr's struggles loosened ber hands
Grasping ber child in her arms she ran to a
neighbor's bouse and fell iu a faint at the
door. When consciousness was restored
she told her story, and a poae of friends or
ganized to bunt for the robbers. So far no
trace of the men has been discovered. An
examination of the baby shows where its
tender flesh had been pinched and jagged to
make it "cream.
Congressional Influence.
WiH!3i.T0! March 22 Five members of
the Missouri delegation in Congress, beaded
by Representative Bland, called at tbe Post
utlioe Department to dv and asked Post
master General Bissell what weight would be
givantothe recommendations of members
of Congress in the appointment of postmast
ers. It had been repeatedly stated in the
newspapers, it was said, that Congressional
influence was to go for nothing.
Mr. Bissell said be did not think be could
be held responsible for what had been pub
lished in the newspapers. Thus far not a
single postmaster had been appointed who
bad not the indorsement of tbe members of
Congress. That ought to be taken as con
clusive evidence that :t was by no means his
intention to ignore members of Congress.
He thought, however, that tbe question
of candidates should, in a measure at least,
be decided by tbe people of the locality.
They were more interested than any one
else, and undoubtedly their wishes should
be consulted and given very great weight.
No one would, in any sense, be ignored, and
it was folly to suppose that tbe assistance,
advice and lecommendations of men of such
high character as were the Representatives
of the people in Congress, were not earnest
ly desired.
Harrity Will Appoint.
The Waumgion correspondent of the"
Philadelphia Times, speaking of the long con
ference bad by Messrs. Harrity and Hensel
with President Cleveland, give some inside
news that will bj interesting to those who
are bunting office in Pennsylvania.
"In the first place it was absolutely deter
mined, and without solicitation, that the
political patronage of Pennsylvania shall be
disposed of upon the recommendations of
Mr. Harrity and his friends in the adminis
tration. No man will be appointed to ollice
in the Keystone Commonwealth who is ob
jectionable to these gentlemen. To such an
extent will this be carried that Pos master
General Bissell is credited with having pre
sented Messrs. Harrity and Hensel to Assist
ant Postmaster General Max well, "the heads
man," as be is humorously known in
Washington, with the remark : 'These are
the friends whose counsel we will follow in
Pennsylvania.' That decision determines
the selection of over 4.000 postmasters.
"This settlement of tbe attitude of the Na
tional administration towards the State ad
ministration forces in Pennsylvania has
completely disrupted tbe Congressional com
bine which c A leer, of Philadelphia, and
Mutchler, of Northampton, attempted lo
form. Tbey circulated rumors that Mr.
Harrity and his friends were in bad oder
with the President and his advisers and
with these as a basis they endeavored to
bring about a coalition of all tbe anti-Slate
administration Demacratic Congressmen,
the hope being held out that all who had
joined the combine would control the disvis
ion of the loaves and fishes. The reception
given Harrity and Hensd has dissolved this
roseate-tinged mist."
Will Get Your Bank Roll.
Ckicauo, III., March 25. If anyone thinks
be can see tbe World's Fair for 50 cents he
will find that be has made a serious mistake.
Some one will preseutly obtain a concession
to all the air at Jackson Park and sell it to
visitors at so much per breath. The water
privilege, the toilet room privilege, the priv
ilege to usurp tbe benches in tbe park and
charge money for sitting on them all these
and a hundred others have been granted.
In many cases it cannot be learned that tbe
Fair directors have received anything for
the grants.
In the matter of tbe toilet room privilege
the practical "cinch" on hundreds of thous
ands of dollars Las been given away. A
sanitary company has placed in the various
buildings on tbe grounds 3mX water-closets
and lavatories.' A fixed fee of fire and ten
cents will be charged for the use of these.
It is said by interested parties that Director
General Davis is interested in the sanitary
snup.
He Slept Every Night in a Coffin.
From the York Gazette.
Jacob Mumma, the recluse, died recently
at his residence, on the York road, one mile
from Hanover. Since 1813 "be was away
from his dreary place but once, and on uhat
occasion, in ISSi, he risted England. While
there he obtained a patent on a watch and
was offered $30,000 for the righl, but be
wanted 100,0jO, and got nothing. This, in
connection with disappointment in a love
affair, preyed on hi mind to such an extent
that be decided to retire from society and
live by himself. In winter he lived entire
ly in the cellar of his bouse. Her be would
eat and sleep, and in the summer time would
occupy a room on tbe second floor and one
above that on tbe third. H went from one
room to tbe other by tbe aid of a Udder,
having holes cut through the ceilings, never
going in any other part of the bouse. Often
at night be would come forth from bis
haunt and stroll over tbe farm in order to
see lhat all was well and at the same time
get a little fresh air and exercise.
Some years ago be had a casket made, in
whicl- be slept until be died. 8ome time
ago be imagined that rats aad mice might
get at him while asleep and bad high stilts
put to tbe casket, getting in and out with a
ladder. He bad a tin box made and left in
care of the undertaker, in which be wanted
to be buried. He bad no nse for a doctor,
preacher, or barber.

A bill was introduced in tbe Legislature
the other day, increasing the pay of tbe
county eonimismoner, coroners sod county

of county auditors and county surveyors.
Tbe pay of auditors snd surveyors is low
enough now in all conscience, and it is not
likely the bill will pais.
Governor Pattison has issued a proclama

Saturday, April 2!ih, to be observed as Ar

Assemblyman Murphy, of Westmoreland
county, on Tuesday introduced a bill amend

change the punisbmeut for murder in the
first degree from banging to either hanging
or solitary confinement for life, and making
it tbe duty of the jury when they tender
their verdict to designate the punishment
and requiring the sentence in accordance
therewith.
Ope of tbe surprises of the week was the
large vote cast for tbe local option bill intro
duced by Representative Mansfield, of Bea
ver, authorizing counties and cities to vote
at the next February election and every
three years thereafter on the propriety of
granting licenses to sell intoxicating liquors.
Another surprise was the fact that this im
portant bill excited no discussion. It com
manded 85 votes, while its opponents could
muster only 56.
A bill was introduced by Mr. Metzger, of

Senator Hackenburg, of Northumberland,
has prepared an important substitute for bis
License Commission Bill. H provides for a
License Court, composed of ten persons
learned in the law, to be appointed by the
Governor, five from each of the two parties
polling tbe largest aggregate vote in the
State. These Judges serve for ten years at a
salary of $o,0"0 and traveling expense, and
one from each party retires every two yearj.
No person who has served a full term of ten
years is eligible to reappointment. For li
censt purposes the State is divided into
twenty-four districts, the 20th district being
composed of tbe counties of Itlair, Bedford,
Cambria aud Somerset. In these districts

fee, further than to require the payment of
$5 to the clerk of courts for tbe use of the
State. It is stated lhat this bill has been sub

him if passed.
A KEW BOAD LAW.
Mr. Losch's bill, enabling taxpayers of
townshis and road districts to contract for
making at their own expense the roads and
paying salaries of townships or road dis
trict officers, and thereby preventing the
levy and collection of road tax thereon,
came up on second reading and met with
great opposition. Mr. Loscb said it was
the only solution of tbe road quelioi', and
tar plead for its passage. Messrs. Niles,
Wherry and Reese insisted that it was a per
nicious measure intricate and not capable of
bring pat to practical use. Seeing that his
bill was doomed, Mr. Ljsch plead that .t be
passed to third reading, and tbe House as
sented to bis request, at the same time serv
ing notice that the bill will be kill?d on fi
nal paesage.
The Nesbit road bill, which provides for
the location, opening, vacation, construction
and maintenance of the public highways,
roads and bridges of the State, was consider
ed on second reading and excited a great deal
of debate. An amendment was ottered ap
propriating $.1,0U0.0U0 annually for the roads
of the Stale, to be divided in proportion to
the number of miles of public highwsy in
each county.
Mr. Marshall, the chairman ofjhe Appro
priation Committee, protested against this
appropriation on the ground that in two
years it will take $0,000,000 from the Treas
ury, which along with the $10,000,000 for
tbe public schools, will dispose of $l(j,ouo,0.)0
of the estimated $13.5.iO,oi0 of revenue. Al
ready the House has passed appropriation
bills for capitol repairs and maiitia expenses
aggregating $1,000,000, and if the proposed
appropriation for roads were passed it would
reduce the money to be devoted lo State in
stitutions and all government expenses to
less than $1,500,000.
Tbe House did not heed Mr. Marshall's
wanting and passed the amendment making
the appropriation by a vote of 71 yeas to 57
nays.
Another amendment was offered provid
ing that roads in cities shall share in the
mooey appropriated by the Stale, and after
the debate it was ruled out of order as not
germane to the stction nnder discussion. In
tbe course of this debate Mr. A'alton stated
that there are a thousand miles of country
roads in Philadelphia.
Tbe bill was postponed for the present,
with the understanding that when it again
comes up there will be amendments inserted
that will remove all objections lo it.

ly r:cb, a great miser. His one absorbing

find new possibilities of retrenchment. Dur
ing the last few years he had become physi
cally almost a monstrosity, through indul
gence in a most gluttonous appetite This
made him very corpulent , and this in ttun
compelled sedentary habits, which tended
to increase his size. He ate, one acquaint
ance says, like a wolf. He was reputed to
be the largest aud heaviest feeder in Eng
land, and those who bad seen him eating
say it was a sight never to be forgotten
Heart disease was tbe immediate cause of
deaih, but be really died of gluttony.
