TH* Willard House of this place, kept by Mr. George W.

BY tbe new apportionment, under tbe census of 1880, Allegheny, Armstrong, Butler, Clearfield, Dauphin, Fayette, McKean, Northumberland, Philadel phia and Westmoreland counties will each gain one member of tbe Legisla ture. WE bare received from Mr. E.

Alabama leads off, August 2nd, and tbe otber States follow in this order; Arkansas, September 6; Ver mont, September 7 ; Maine, Septem ber 18; Colorado, October 5; Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia, October 12. AT an Argument Court held on Monday, matters in connection with tbe First National Bank of this place were acted upon. Tbe Court discharg ed on common bail Messrs. Cullum and Campbell in tbe cam of Thomas Robinson against them for libel, on tbe ground that plaintiff's cause of action was not legally set forth, but refused to quash tbe proceedings. TEE County Committee having now disposed of tbe question of "fraud" raised on tbe Congressional nomina> tion in this county, it now becomes the duty of tbe Eagle to raise to its bead tbe full Republican county ticket. Thus far it has not done so, and further refusal will be in direct disregard of tbe action of the people at tbe prima ries and of two meetings of tbe County Committee, and if presisted in will lead to further trouble. We hope for harmony now in this county. WHERE, O Where, are those Demo cratic votes at oar primary that Mr. Robinnon so continually asserted Sher iff Hoffman bad procured ? His cry was, "Sheriff Hoffman did it." "Sher iff Hoffman," "Sheriff Hoffman." Vis ions, as of dreams, appeared to possess him of thepower of "Sheriff Hoffman," as of that of a giant. He should now apologize to the jolly big Sheriff, and thna secure undisturbed slumber. The Sheriff is good natured and will not eat bim up. 11l another place will be found the letter of General Hancock accepting the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. It will be seen that it is general in its expressions and reads very much like one who did not want to commit himself distinctly on any thing. Mr. English, the candidate for Vice President, on the other hand, in bis letter makes a complete Demo cratic stump speech, of the old Demo cratic style. He is evidently a bitter partisan. His letter is too lengthy for insertion. DOCTOE ROBERTA, one of the Craw ford county contestants for the Con gress nomination of that county, pro duced and showed to the conference at Mercer the names of 32 of the commit tee of 00 of tbatcounty, being a majority in his favor of the same, and recogniz ing bim as the rightful and proper nominee of that county. We under stand that a report is circulated in this county that some of those names are Dot genuine. We have every reason to believe and say, that any such re port Is groundless snd gotten up through improper motives to injure Mr. McJuokio here. WE are indebted to Mr. McKee, County Superintendent of Common Schools, for a copy of the last annual Report of Mr. Wickereham, State Su perintendent of Public Institution, for the year ending June 1, 1879. From it we learn the number of schools in this county is 262 ; average number of months taught, 5.61; number ot male teachers, 197, females, 181 ; average salary per month, males, $33.82, fe males, $28.54; whole number scholars in the county, males, 7,505 ; females, 6.633 ; number mills levied for school puposes, 6.14 ; building purposes, 4.4 7; total tax levied in the county for all school purposes, $64,437.89. THE Democratic papers were assert ing that Col. Henry B. Hays, of Pittsburgh, had pronounced for Han cock, but the following letter from Col. Hayg to the Pittsburgh Chronicle of July 28th, ult., rather settles the ques tion the other way. He is for Garfield and writes as follows: PITTSBURGH, July 28, 1880. I most heartily endorse James A. Garfield as the nominee of the Republi can party. I think he is tbe best and strongest man that could have been chosen under tbe circumstances. I in tend rendering bim all the support in my power to insure his election, and when the day comes for voting I shall add one to his majority. I thank my Democratic friends for this opportunity to express my sentiments. HENBY B. HAYS. It is now hoped that nothing will be done at the meeting of Dick and Miller Conferees at Greenville to-mor row. That meeting is nothing more io truth than the meeting of the Confer ees of one county, to wit: Mercer. Mr. Dick's right to have conferees at any place has never yet been investigated. His refusai to have an investigation was what made the trouble in the Mer cer Conference and gave his competi tor, Dr. Roberts, a right to a seat in the same. How Mr. Miller, the undis puted candidate of Mercer, wag blind enough to ally himself and bis county to the one contestant from Crawford county who bad refused to bare bis i claim beard before his own and the I Butler Conferees, the then only right ful powers to bear tbe same, still re mains a mystery. If be bad any doubt® j on the subject, what is taking place in j Crawford now, and since tbe Mercer Conference, should remove such doubts. It looks as if matters there will soon be settled in favor of Roberts. I Of what use then will be a nomination obtained at Greenville ? And this look ing to Crawford county matters only, j DOES it not appear to our friend of tbe Mercer Dixpatch as now out of time to be further arguing the claim of Mercer county to the Congressional nomination ? That claim was admitted to be fully equal to that of any other county previous to and at the Mercer conference. Why then did Mr. Miller take the course he did to destroy that claim ? That is the question. Why did he prevent bis conferees from fully carrying out with Butler conferees bis own agreement made for tbeui, and under which, by his own letter, Dick and Roberta, the contestants in Craw ford county, came to Mercer for a bear ing f Butler could not of herself have harmed Mercer in any way, nor Mer cer harmed Butler. But he could have kept tbe Butler conferees there for a month, at expense, and he at none, or but little. Once in conference, as agreed upon, there could not have been an adjournment without the consent of Mercer. Mr. Miller'H course cannot be justified, and be and bis county should therefore ratify the nomination then and there made. "OBEDENTIALS." In the Committee meetiug last Sat urday one of the speakers in referring to the trouble in Crawford county, said he understood that one (Dick) of the contestants of that county at the Mercer Conference bad tbe 'credentials' of tbe Crawford county Republican Convention in his favor. This was HO great a mistake that Capt. Pillow im mediately corrected him. Both parties, Dick k Robert!, bad 'credentials' there to any amount. Their convention had split into about two equal parts,and each bad credentials from bis own part. But Roberts had a certificate with the names of thirty-two of the sixty Re turn Judges or delegates who com posed the convention, saying he was tbe rightful nominee of Crawford county and should be admitted to the conference. Besides, he bad a majority of the votes of the people, which is generally considered about the strong est "credentials" a candidate can have in this country. This majority, bis friends affirmed, bad never been prop erly taken from him. But tbe Butler conferees listened to no outside state ments from either party. Their posi tion was to admit neither, but to hear and determine with the Mercer con ferees the cases of both the Crawford parties on equal terms and equal foot ing. That was tbe agreement upon which all went to Mercer, and had the Mercer conferees fully carrieu it out, there would probably be no trouble in the district to-day. We have stated this matter before and it has not been denied in any quarter that we have seen, and only refer to it again in or der that the Republican party of this county may fully understand it, and that no one may be hereafter misin formed on tbe subject. Dividends to Creditor*. WASHINGTON, July 29.—Tho Comptroller of tbe Currency, has de clared a dividend of twenty five per cent, in favor of the creditors of the First National Bank of Franklin, Intl., making in all ninety per cent.; also, a dividend of ten per cent, in favor of tbe creditors of the Firßt National Bank of Wichata, Kansas, making In ail seventy per ceut. j fife* Wnth4, tSSO. COUNTY COMMITTEE MEETING. | THE NOMINATION OF MB. M'JCNKIN SUSTAINED IN COUNTY AND IN DIS TRICT —BUT 16 MEMBERS FA VOR SENDING CONFEREES TO GREENVILLE. The re-assembling of the Republican County Committee last Saturday was on event looked for with some interest, from the fact that a defeated candi date for Congress, Mr. Thomas Robin son, had alleged frauds at the late pri maries and had asserted both in this countv and out of it, that if he was al lowed the opportunity he would show that he was defeated by frauds. Con sequently, after much solicitation on bis part, the Chairman of the County Committee was induced to call the same together. He therefore had am ple time—had been working at it for the past month, and during all of the previous month of June it is said be had access to the papers of the late primary. Something therefore of these alleged frauds was looked for. But nothing came. Not a single fraudulent vote against him was shown in any district or place in the county. But on the contrary be sent a long letter to the Committee, repeating about what he has been saying in the Eagle for the past two months, and ending by coolly asking the Committee to send confer ees to the Dick and Miller meeting at Greenville. The Committee heard his letter read, and then laid it on the ta ble. Several motions were made ; then a resolution offered by one of bis friends requesting Mr. McJunkin to go to Greenville, which after debate was withdrawn ; then finally a direct reso lution was offered that the Committee should send conferees to Greenville. On this resolution a full discussion of the situation took place, and when a vote was reached but sixteen, out of a committee of fifty-four, near fifty of whom were present, could be found to vote for it. And thus ends this matter. Those, both here, at Mercer, and elsewhere, who listened to the story of Thomas Robinson will now see their folly in doing so. It is not necessary to ever use fraud against bim. His competitor is the one who has to look out for frauds. JUST WHAT WE DIP. The Pittsburgh Dispatch, of Mon day this week contains an able and lengthy editorial upon the situation in this Congressional district and in it we find tbe following: "There was no doubt about the le gality of the nomination of cither Mc- Junkin or Miller and these gentle men should have united upon the com mon ground of indisputable titles, and their conferees should have discussed the Crawford county contest in a ju dicial manner and decided it according to the rules of evidence," etc. If tbe Dispatch read the proceedings at the time of the Mercer Conference itdoubtless overlooked, or has forgotten, that tbe above was precisely the posi tion taken by the Hatter conferee*. It was in fact the ■ wry petition Mr Miller had previously agreed with them should be taken, but which, for some unaccounted cause, he so changed, or wanted to change, that when the Butler conferees reached Mercer he desired to admit one side alone (Dick) of tbe Crawford paptlea into the Con* ference at the very outstart. And this led to the subsequent proceedings on the part of Butler, in order to carry out tbe agreement, that resulted in the admission of tbe Roberts conferees and the nomination of Mr. McJunkin, after frequent, full and fairjjoticp to nil parties. Tbe ground stated by tbe Dis patch was the true and only ground for deciding tbe Crawford contest ; was the one agreed on, and on which all parties bad assembled at Mercer; was the one adhered to tenaciously by the Butler con fere vs, and was the one broken by the Mercer conferees. What tbe Dispatch advises "should" have been done, was exactly what the IJut ler conferees did do. Will the Dinpatch please examine and correct itself in this matter'( CONGRESS. Tbe Titusville Herald of Monday sjwraks as follows of the effect of tbe action of tbe Republican Committee of this county on last Saturday : This knocks the laut prop from un der tbe position assumed by Mr. Mil ler, of Mercer county. lie first ap pointed a Conference with McJunkin, fierceiupon time and place, but when tbe time came, finding that Dr. Roberts had carried Crawford county, he refused to go into conference with McJunkin ami try the Crawford county contestants' cases on their merits.

THE LETTER AT LAST. FROM HANCOCK—THE HEAD OF THE TICKET IS DECIDEDLY NON COMMITTAL. GOYEBNOB'S ISLAND, N. Y.,> •July 30. ) GENTLEMEN: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of July 13, 1880, apprising me formally of my nomination to the office of Pres ident of the United States by the Na tional Democratic Convention lately assembled in Cincinnati. I accept the nomination with grateful appreciation of the confidence reposed in me. Tbe principles enunciated by the Conven tion are those I have cherished in tbe past, and shall endeavor to maintain in the future. Tbe thirteenth, four teenth and fifteenth amendments to tbe Constitution of the United States, embodying tbe results of the war for tbe Union, are inviolable If called to tbe Presidency, I should deem it my duty to resist with all my power any attempt to impare or evade the full force and effect of the Constitution, which in every article, section and amendment is the supreme law of the land. The Constitution forms the basis of the government of the United State. The powers granted by it to tbe legislative, executive and judicial departments define and limit the au thority of the general government. Powers no*, delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor pro hibited to tbe States, belong to the to the States respectively or to the people. The general and State governments each acting in its own sphere, without trenching upon the lawful jurisdiction of the other, constitute the Union. The Union, comprising a general gov ernment, with general powers, and State Governments, with State powers for purposes local to the States, is a polity the foundations of which were laid in the profoundest wisdom. This is the Union our fathers made, and which has been so respected abroad and so beneficent at home. Tried by blood and fire it stand# to-day a model form of free popular government, a political system which, rightly admin istered, has been and will continue to be tbe admiration of the world. May we not say nearly in tbe words of Washington, "The unity of government which constitutes us one people is justly dear to ua. It is the main pillar in the edifice of our real inuo pendence, tbe support of our peace, safety and prosperity, and of the lib erty, we so highly prize and intend at every hazard to preserve." But no form of government, however carefully devised, no principles, however sound, will protect tbe rights of the people unless 'the administration is faithful and efficient. It is a vital principel in our system that neither fraud nor force must lie al lowed to subvert the rights of the peo ple. When fraud, violence or incom petence controls, the noblest constitu tions and wisest laws are use/ess. The bayonet i* not a fit instrument Un collecting the votes of freemen. It is only by a full vote, free ballot and fair count that tbe people can rule in fact as required by the theory of our gov ernment. Take this foundation away and the whole structure falls. A public office ij a trust, not a bounty bestowed upon the holder. No incomjietent or dishonest person should be intrusted with it, or if ap pointed they should promptly be eject ed. The basis of a substantial, prac tical civil service reform must be es tablished by the people in filling the elective offices. If they fix a high standard of qualifications for office, and sternly reject the corrupt or incowpe: tent, tbe result will be decisive iu governing the action of the servants whom they entrust with the appoint ing power. The war for the Union was success fully closed more than fifteen years ago. All classes of our people should iihare alike in the blessings of tfop Union, and are equally concerned in its perpetuity and in the proper ad ministration of public affairs. We are in a state of profound peace ; henceforth let it Im our purpose to cultivate sen timents of friendship and not of ani mosity among our fellow citizens. Our material interest, varied and pro, gressive, demand our constant and united efferts. A sedulous and scrupulous enre of the public credit, together with a wise and economical management of our expenditures, should Is; maintained in order that labor may be lightly bur dened, and that all persons may he pro tected in their rights to the fruits of their Own industry. The time has come to enjoy the substantial benefits of reconstruction as one people. We have common interests. Let us en courage harmony ami generous rivalry among our own industries, which will rpvivc oi|r languishing merchant ma rine, extern! our commerce with foreign nations, assist our merchants, manu facturers and producers to develop our vast national resources, and increase the prosperity and happiness of our |ieop!e. If elected 1 shall, with Divine favor, labor with what ability I possess to discharge my duties with fidelity ac cording to my convictions, and shall take care to protect and defend the Union and to see that the laws be faithfully ami equally executed in all parts of the country alike. I will as sume the responsibility, fully sensible of the fact that to administer rightly the functions of government u to dis charge the most sacred duty that can devolve upon an American citizen, 1 am, very respectfully, yours, W INVIKLI> 8. HANCOCK. To Hon. John W. Stevenson, Presi dent of the Convention, Hon. John I*. Stockton, Chairman, and others of the Committee of the National Demo cratic Convention. A Beaver County Farmer's Suicido By Hantrtnjr. For many years Mr. Adam Stein bach, a farmer, has resided in Marion township, Beaver county, a short dis tance from the "Hurry" Church. He has been in poor health, and gave a good deal of anxiety to his family by his irascible conduct, Not long ago Dr. Cunningham, of Zclienople, re moved a polypus from Mr. Ntcifibach's nostrils, but the operation did not seem to relieve the farmer's mental distress. Monday evening a week ago he retired us usual, and on the next morning, as he did not get up, one of his son's, with some diffculty opened the door, in doing SO, the son was hor rified to see his father's body hanging fly a rope fastened over the doorway. Life was extinct and the deed evi dently a premeditated one. Mr. Stein bach was about 72 years old and ( leaves a small family. A Coroner's in quest resulted in a verdict in accord ance with the facts. Long Litigation. PHILADELPHIA, July 23.—Tbe Or phans' Court has finally adjudicated the estate of Robert Morris, just sev entv-four years after his death. Morris was the great financier of revolution ary times, who voted against tbe Dec laration of Independence, but signed it after its adoption, who raised the means to feed and pay the colonial army, who issued his own notes for a million and a half when the infant na tion was exceedingly embarassed for funds, and redeemed every dollar of them, and who, by a series of land speculations, died with a great num ber of debts clinging to his estate. On December 1, 1873, tbe heirs agreed upon Henry Phillips, Jr., as the trus tee, and be preceeded to settle the es tate. Last month he submitted his ac counts to tbe Orphans' Court, show ing fliat a final division of the estate had been made by him. $069,250 go ing to the lleyburn estate and $969,049 to Robert Morris as next to kin. The court has approved the report. Dow and Weaver in the Same Boat With Hancock and Qarfleld. The Titusville World is authority for a startling exposure of the moral turpitude if the Prohibition candidate for President. It has learned that Mr. Neal Dow was through that country, during the flush days of Oildorn, and organized a stock company, called the Temperance Petroleum Bonanza As sociation, with a capital stock of seven million dollars and seventy-five cents, he kissed his fingers to the Oil Region and opened a saloon in Guernsey township. Two days after the formal opening of his dive, be sent a boy back after the seventy-five cents. It is needless to state that the plucked and plundered stockholders roasted the young man alive. The same veracious journal has ascertained that the Green: backers have made a great mistake in nominating their man Weaver for the Presidency. "General Weaver, we all remember, passed through here iu 1865 and gathered a bottle of crude petrole um from the surface of Oil Creek. This he took to a monastry in Michi gan, and representing himself as a holy friar, sold it to the Sisters of Mercy for hair oil" To Cousus Enumerators The appending circular has been is sued from the Census Office : The following instructions are issued with the approval of tbe Secretary of the Interior, for the information and guidance of Enumerators in connection with the settlement of their accounts for due. 1.

WALKER, Superintendent of Census. juatico Swayne'a "Alle^ocT'Declßijii A Democratic Explanation. WASHINGTON, July —Three lead ing Democratic |»u|M-r.s have bci n se lceted an the yehicjeH for reditu lie a statement that .Justice Swayne, of the United States Supreme Court, in panning upon the I>c Golyer con tract caw;, said in an opinion: "The agreement with General Garfield, a member of Congress, to pay him $5,- 000 UH A contingent he for procuring a contract which was itself made to depend upon a future appropriation by Congress, which appropriation could only come from the committee of which he was the cbuitmnn, was a sale of influence which no veil can cover against the plainest, principles of public policy," <fcc. This paragraph is now going the round of the Demo cratic newspapers, aqtj ia made the text of leading articles In which (Jen. Garfield's candidacy for President was deplored as a sort of national disgrace. As might have been expected by those who arc familiar with Democratic campaign methods, no such language was eycr iised by .justice Swayne on the bunch or elsewhere, and ho never had an opportunity to deliver a judi cial opinion upon the matter, because the case in question was never taken before the Supreme Court. The mat ter is finally set at rest by so promi nent a Democrat as ex-Senator Doo littlc, who to-day publishes the follow ing card he™ ; "A serious error has been made by some newspapers in supposing that the DeGolyer case ever went to tin; Su preme Court, or that Justice Swayne used the language attributed to him in commenting upon it. In the brief submitted to Judge Harwell, in the circuit Court here, another case— Burke against Child—decided in the Supreme Court, was cited, and Justice Swavne's opinion staled. Hut the mistake has been this—that a part of the language of the brief which fol lows the citation of the case of Burke vs. Child is attributed to Justice Mwayne, language, which he never used, for the case was never before him, and as I was the counsel who submitted the brief it is just to (Jen. Garfield, to Justice Swayne, and to myself that I should at once correct this mistake " TIIK Massachusetts Supreme Court, has just interpreted an old Sunday law of the Commonwealth with a rigid deference to its ancient orthodox spirit that would have filled the heart of the most devout early Puritan with gloom. A statute whose origin may bo traced back through colonial times to the reign of Charles I. declares that "whoever travels on the Lord's Day, except from necessity or charity, shall be punished by fine not exceeding ten dollars for every ofTonoe," The plain tiff in a recent civil suit has been made to feel that neither the letter nor the spirit of this ancient edict has become obsolete. He had accompanied a funeral from Boston to Mount Auburn on Sunday afternoon. Instead of re turning to Boston by the same road be drove around by the way of Charlestowu, to enable the lady with him to call on a friend in that city. Go ing through Somerville he met with an accident and sustained per sonal injuries by reason of a defective thoroughfare. lie sued the town for damages, and now the Supreme Court holds that the action cannot be main tained because the pluintiff was travel ing in violation of the law above cited when the accident occurred. The Court did not wish to be understood as de ciding that attending a funeral on Sun day is neeessarillv unlawful or ungod ly iu Massachusetts. In this case the plaintiff had not violated the laws of the Commonwealth iu going to the cemetery, because he had properly taken the most direct road. Nor would he have been guilty of any offence if he had fortunately observed the same propriety and returned bv an equally direct line. But his going a mile or so out of the way for the wicked pur pose of making a friendly call was, in the eve of the law, a worldly devia tion which was "most tolerable and not to be endured." Another Massacre of British Troops in Afghanistan. Lord Ilartington spoke with prudent fore-thought when he declared on Tuesday last in the House of Com mons that th<? uncertainties of Afghan politics were so great it would be pre mature to conclude that the recogni tion of Abdurrahman had brought or der out of chaos. Twenty-four hours afterward he was compelled to an nounce an overwhelming disaster. While the skies were brightening in the north a war cloud bad been gath ering in the south. No sooner is Ab durrahman proclaimed Ameer of Cabul than a British column is cut to pieces in the Candahar District. The horrors of Isandula arp repeated. The cam paign which has been twice closed is reopened. Instead of retiring to the Indian frontier i>t their leisure, the troops will have to remain among the Afghan bills Indefinitely, and recon quer what has already cost so much blood aud treasure. The lessort of this terrible defeat is plain. Government bj proxy cannot succed in Afghanistan. The Beaeons field Administration sel up a king ifl Cabul, dictated a trpaty with him, left a llcsident Aircnt in the capital to re mind him of his pledges, and ordered the troops to march out The massa cre followed, the pupet king was de throned, and the troops had to fight their way back to Cabul. In Candahar another sovereign was established up? on a throne of Afghan force fr.om tue west menaces him with at tack. He hastens to the front to de fend bis frontier. There are signs of insubordination, and be telegraphs to the British commander for reinforce ments. A sovereign whose \m\ei>pwV> ence has been only a few [yonLiia before with flourish of trum pets and high-sounding proclamations, was unable to stand alone. When the British forces came up his infantry re fused to join them, but marched off in the direction of the enemy. Treachery among his own fcinaqiPW, who were p|utt|pg Ms downfall, and the revolt of the troops which he bad himself re cruited in his own capital, left this sec ond pupet king as powerless as the first had been, and led to the final ca tastrophe. Hysterical Preaching. A case of insanity is just now at tracting considerable attention in Brooklyn. A bright and promising young lady atteuUed several weeks ago the (exciting revival meetings of an evangelist known as "the boy preach er." This person is tolerably old boy, being about thirty years of age; yet he is somewhat boyish in appearance and is possessed of youthful alacrity in his movements. lie is withal SOH\OJ what d r( VH^ti< J 'M action and capa ble of exercising a strange magnetic ef fect over his audiences. When in this city, several months ago, this "Hoy Preacher" was the means of adding about five hundred person to th'J will of one of the churches with which be labored for some weeks. His recent Brooklyn campaign resulted in the gathering in of over six hun dred converts. His manner b eccen tric and his methods are the subject of frequent, and severe criticism even from those who approve the end he lias in view and who believe in his kind of revivals. His habit is to stamp up and dowu ill* s aisles of a proved meeting house and with shouting and gesticulation warn sin ners that if they do not at once re pent they will be sent to hell. His picturings of hell are in vivid colors and redolent of brimstone. On the ex cited imagination of a young woman given to hysteria and kindred mental and nervous ailments such evangeliz ing cannot but have a pernicious ef fect. The girl who is now a raving maniac was evidently crazed by the evangelist's terrific appeals. Her mind is no longer under control and her physical faculties are quite as uncon trollable. Several tiroes she has at tended to tal»e her own life, as well as to do violence to her relations. Ad mit that such cases are rare; the ex istence even of this one ought to be a hint to this evangelist and to all «th ere who are in the same lino of effort. The blood-and-thunder, brimstone and pyrotechnic style of appeal to the un converted will oauily soai« a certain class of people into sudden flight from the wrath to come. In proportion to the mechanical energy of style and the vapidity of matter is the number of backsliders from the so-called conver sions resulting from this sort of labor. Possibly this high-pressure method of yon verts han Its advantages, but it is diffiult for thoughtful people to say what thev are. The churches which work industriously and earn estly for steady growth will grow larger and better ami more healthy, and with more salutary effects on the outside world, than those which work on the passions and Imaginations and and fears of the weak and nervous.— J'h ilmlrlp/iiii Tims*.
