SURVEYORS under the supervision of the
two Governments are about to draw defi

The Senate Adjourned.
When the Senate met in extraordinary
session there was a great deal of discussion
as to whether It would be necessarily con
fined to merely executive busit.ess. Though
no formal decision was arrived at, it did so
confino itself, so strictly tlfet even the
questions that arose concerning its own
membership were left unsettled when the
Senate adjourned on Saturday afternoon.
Only one of these questions was really
difficult—that of the right of the Governor
of a State to appoint a Senator for a regular
term, the Legislature in session having re
lated or Called to make an appointment.
This question affects three ol the sitting
members but the Senate has left it still in
dispute, possibly in the hope that events
may simplify the problem in some way be
fore the regular session.
The Senate thus practically confined it
self to the business lor which it was called,
the consideration of the new President's
nominations. These were all confirmed,
with the exception of one made on the last
day for a local office, which when over
under objection. They included all the
beads of departments and of bureaus and
other chief executive officers and all but
one or two of the prominent diplomatic re
preventatives.
For other offices which the President
may be expected to fill as vacancies occur,
he will issue commissions subject to the
approval of the Senate at its next meeting.
He has apparently made all tbe changes
that be regarded as immediately necessary
and will take his time for tho rest—
Philadelphia Timet.
O*R branch of the State legislature, the
House, lias passed tho compulsory educa
tion bill by a vote of 120 to 4*. It provides
that children between 8 and 12 years of
age shall attend for 16 weeks each year a
school In which tbe common English
branches are taught, unless each child or
children are excused by the school board
for satisfactory reasons. There is to be an
annual enumeration of children between 8
and 12 years by tbe assessors. The bill
prescribes a penalty of $2 to $5 for each
violation by neglect or refusal. It does
not interfero with the right to educate
children in private schools. The argument
used by the supporters of tho bJI is that
there are 100,000 children in tbiA State be
tween 6 and 12 years whn are cot receiving
any school benefits, and that It is unfair to
these boys and girls to allow them to grow
op without iome ineatrare of education.

To tho irreverently mingling strains ol
"Farewell My Own True Love," and
"Nearer My God to Tbee ' the Honse, late
Tuesday afternoon, jostled Charle- L.
Baker out of the -eat he has occupied since
the new year dawned. Mr. Baker is a
Democrat, and his row will bo hoed after
to morrow by that distinguished Republi
can farmer, Austin L. Taggart, wiiose title
was declared clearly by a vote of 119 ayes
to 62 nays. Only one Republican, Mr.
Butterfield, of Erie, slipped the lariat in
the final round-up. The case came up
from Montgomery county and hinged upon
the right ot 46 students at St. Charles
Borromeo Roman Catholic Seminary to
vote, the aforesaid 46 having with singular
unanimity plunked their Baker ballots for
Baker. The House wrestled with the law
and the facts, the Constitution and pre
cedents for two hours before it formally
reached a conclusion. Incidentally the
shades of Samuel J. Tilden, the ghost of
Rutherford B. Hayes, the tenants of the
Catholic church and migratory ministers of
the Methodist church were tossed into
the discussion.
The majority, led by B. Bniitb Talbot,
took the ground that tho students referred
to had no permanent residence in the
seminary within the meaning of the Con
stitution, and were therefore not entitled
to vote in North Ardmore township. The
minority insisted that the students, upon
entering the seminary, renounced home,
family ties and residence,and to debar them
Irom voting where they did, would he to
disfranchise. The discussion for the Demo
crats was opened by Mr. Flannery, of
Luzerene, whose arguments were supple
mented by Messrs. Hitter, of Lycoming;
Skinner, of Fulton and Fow, of Philadel
phia.
Walter Lyon was sworn in by Judge
McPherson, Tuesday.
His first bill is identical with that of
Mr. McDonald in the House. It is intend
ed to authorize the proposed boulevard on
tho Perrysvilie plank road. Mr Lyon has
been placed upon the oommittees on Con
stitutional Reform, Corporations, Judiciary
General, Municipal A flairs and Vice and
Immorality.
Itiseipected that Mr Kearns's anti-
Pinkerton bill will come out of Committee
to-morrow. Mr. Kearns will offer an
amendment providing that officers ap
pointed under the bill shall be of good
character, temperate, be a resident for" one
year in the county and enter bond In
SI,OOO.
The Senate Judiciary General Commit
tee to-day decided favorably npon the bill
providing lor an additional law jndg<- in
Washington connty, but will negative the
Cotton Cruelty to Animals bill, the Road
Supervisors bill and the bill providing that
notes, drain, etc., falling due on a holiday
eball not be payable until the day follow
ing.
There was a general meeting in the
Honse chamber that night on the .■wile-
Revenue bill. Mortmer F. Elliot, of Tioga;
Robert K. Wright,of Allentown; Mr. King,
of the Farmers' Alliance, Venango, and
Colonel John P. Greene, of tbe Pennsylva
nia Railroad, argued against the hill, and
Mr. Niles defended it.
Gov. Pattison appointed Dr. Sbaefi'er, of
Kuutztown, Superintendent of Public jn
struction, Tnesday.
Tuesday was sanitary day in tbe senate
chmnher ami tbe house held up its end in
that line by passing Mr. Lemmrm's hill
for tho better protection of health and to
prevent pollution of the water supply. On
the senate side there was a public hearing
before the committee on municipal affairs
on Flinn's resolution providing for a joint
legislative committee to investigate water
supply and sanitary conditions.
Mayor Kennedy of Allegheny was the
first speaker, lie said ho was sent by the
chamber of commerce, the Allegheny Co.
Medical society and others. In Western
Pennsylvania, be said, they were confront
ed by a great problem in regard to their
water supply. Tho Allegheny river was
becoming a great sower, aud from this the
cities and towns of that end of ifce state
were drawing their water. They jrpro
liable at any time, according to ex purl
testimony, to sufTer a di* isterous epidemic
on account of these conditions.
There were growing towns along il«
buck - of the liver and 'he conditions v.er*
yearly becoming worse instead of better
Sewerage and g«rl/3g< were poured into
Uie nv«r at a frightful ra'i-. By t i.il in
vontlgatlon in Allegbenv City they ln:.nd
they could.dispose of all gi. rljagi: at a to. t
not to excede -"> cents pe.~ Lapita, and lie
thought thi« would be true economy.
J. H. Harlowe opened his address by
quothing the opinion of the attorney-gener
al that the state board of health had no
power and could exerci-e none except dur
ing the actual progress of contagions d:s
ease. It could do nothing to prevent such
disease until it had actually broken out.
He entered into details regarding the loca
tion of the various streams and river- in
Western Pennsylvania and the towns along
them, and pointed ont th" effect of their
drain-:.'" upon the water ouppl). Alle
gheny Citj particularly got a bail -apply,
its influent pipe being bel> w llerr s I-.and,
the cattle yards, West Penn ho-pi:al and
other sources of contamination.
TLe drained by Allegben.. river
above the cities of Pittsburgh a: Alle
gheny was inhabited by 622,000 people, or
fifty-seven for each square miie ot that
drainage area, and that population was
growing rapidly, 30 per cent being in
towns of le»s than 30,000 population. Ex
aminations and investigations into sani
tary matters, he said, had heretofore been
spasmodic, but there was need for system
atic gathering of information. The speaker
entered into the question of the proportion
of the total death rate caused by epidemic-,
typhoid fever, etc.. and the relation of
these preventable diseases to water supply
and sewage. He said that within the next
five years more sewers would be built than
ever before, lie thought the best way to
secure pure water was to disinfect the sew
ers and '.heir contents. This method he
admitted was expensive, and all sanitary
methods were expensive, but were nothing
compared with the cost of deaths from
preventable diseases. In support of this he
cited statistics ot such deaths from Pitts
burg and Philadelphia.
The World's Fair trip was given another
turn Tuesday. Mr. Jeffry introduced, by
request, in the House a bill appropriating
$20,000 to pay the expenses of the .Senate
and Uoase to attend the dedication of the
Pennsylvania state balding at Chicago.
The Senate c incurred in the amend
ments oi t..e house to t- e bill constituting
Lawrence county .i eperate judicial dis
trict, Wedrif.-dav. and the bill to establish
a liquor-iiceu-e court pa-.n.u > cond

Washington Notes
lieadoman succeeded in creat-j
ing 131 Democratic postmasters Monday in
the place of Republicans. Of this number
fifty-two were removals. Xone of the
changes were in Pennsylvania.
The only application received at the
treasury department that day from Penn
sylvania war* from B. I'rank Richardson of
Philadelphia, who wants to be an assistant
appraiser at that port.
Postmaster-Generai Bissell made anoth
er ruling which will disgust anew the
Democratic patronage seeker?. The ruling
wag brought out by tho loquacious Spring
er of Illinois. The Republican postmaster
atTaylorville, 111., died last year, and a
Republic an appointed to succeed him wa
confirmed and commissioned. Mr. Spring
er's query was whether tho new postmaster
would be promoted to serve out tho four
years for which he was commissioned, or
whether Mr. liissell would remove him as
soon as the office at Taylorville had been
in Republican control for four consecutive
years or, in other words, as soon as the
time served by the deceased and the pres
ent incumbent aggregated four years.
The postmaster general at once replied
that if no serieua changes were preferred
against tbe present incumbent he would be
premitted to serve tour years from the date
of his commission.
"I believe tbe appointment of a United
States District Attorney for the Western
District of Pennsylvania will be made
very soon, possibly this week." This wa
the statement made to a newspaper cor
respondent Tuesday by National Chairman
Harrity, as the latter was preparing to
leave the city after a long conference with
the President that morning. Mr. Harrity
came over from Atlantic City late Monday
night to keep an appointment at the White
House early this morning.
"I had a very satisfactory interview
with the President this morning," continued
Mr llarrity; "I do not hesitate to say that
the principal object of my visit wa-i to urge
the appointment of W. Wilkin- Carr to
the poHtmastership at Philadelphia. Mr.
Carr is a gentleman of the highest integ
rity and ability, and is indorsed by the
best business men of bis city. He is also
backed by all the prominent Democratic
organizations of Philadelphia, and I hope
that his appointment will be made. As
the resignation of Postmaster Field ha
been in the hands of the President for eev
eral day -, I expect to hear of the vacancy
being filled very soon."
From another source it was learned
that Mr. C'arr's appointment has been de
cided upon by President Cleveland, and
will be made in the next 48 hours. Mr.
Carr's opponent is a business man named
John Huggard, who is backed by mer
chants and others whose names represent
over $200,000,000. A. J. Drexel is one of
his backers. The machine, however, will
prevail against tho business men.
"I ain most emphatically in favor of the
appointment of State Seiiator Hall to the
district attorneyship," said Mr. Harrity,
when brought back to that subject.
"There have been most outrageous stories
circulated reflecting on his character and
ability, but they have been the inventions
of the enemies of Mr Hall, and have no
foundation. Mr. Hall would fill the office
most admirably, and I am doing all I can
to secure him the appointment."
Pennsylvania was to the front again,
with numerous applicants for places under
the Treasury Department. Among the
papers filed were those of Jame* M.
Ralph, of Allegheny, to be retained as
Superintendent ol Public Buildings;
Fred A. Harris, of Tyrone, to tie Naval
Officer at. Philadelphia; J. W. Malay, of
Lansford, to be Revenue Collector in tbe
Twelfth district; William R. Lee. of
Philadelphia, to be Special Agent of the
Treasury; Fergus Malone, ol Philadelphia,
to be Special Inspector of Customs, and
Einmett N. Aumiller, of North Bluefield,
to be • Chief of Division in tho Treasury
Department,
Tim opening exercises at the World's
Fair will take place on tho cist front, of
the Administration Building, where Prsi
dent Cleveland will touch tbe button in
tbe presence of 100,000 people.

To whom it way <<i>ici rn :
Wherea*, The report has been circulated
derogatory to the character of Prof. M. 11.
Young, by some unprincipled person? or
persons that for certain reasons the School
Board of Petrolia had changed the length

Bullets fly Freely
BarssELS, April 17.—The industrial re
venue against the Chamber of Deputies is
in full swing and each hour is marked by
fresh accessions to the ranks of those
who are using the demand for universal
stifferage as a cloak for lawlessness.
Meetings in favor of universal suffrage
are being held everywhere and great ex
citement prevails. Impassionate appeals
are made to those who live by toil to
leave their work and join the great demon
stration now in progress.
The event of the day here, at Mons.
Antwerp and other points, have been so
Serious that the Government has issued a
decree calling out all the militia for the
defence of the State. _ This means the
mobilization of -onie 40,000 troops against
the working men.
The striker- at Mons this morning re
sorted to the use of dynamite to enforce
their deman as. A bomb, which had been
placed close to the Petit Waynes' church,
exploded with great violence, doing much
damage. The act is generally ascribed to
the Socialist:-. This use of dynamite
seems to have acted as an incentive to the
striker- to commit further outrages.
They filled the drinking places and in
dulged in threats against the Government
and finally determined to take possession
of the town for a labor procession.
The civil guards were ordered out and a
desperate conflict followed. The guard
fired upon the crowd, but this did not cf
feet their d-spureal. On the contrary it
only insuriated them and a charge en
masse was made upon the guard. A des
perate hand to hand conflict ensued. It is
known that four of the miners were killed
Many of the rioters were wounded and a
number were taken to the hospitable. The
exact number of wounded will never be
known, a- -ome of them were carried away
by their friends.
"The killing of the four strikers added
greatly to the excitement in the town, and
there is danger of a more serious outbrake.
Men and women from the adjaceut mining
villages are flocking into Mons, which is
the center of the great Borinage coal
mining di-trict. Three-forths of all the
miners in Belgium are employed in this
district. Fourteen -oldiers were wounded
in the fight, three of whom have since
died.
In the Charleroi district it is estimated
that 30,000 miners are employed. Work
in the mine- may be said to be at a stand
still. for 20,000 of the miners have quit
work. Most of these miners are miserably
poor and they and their families are bound
to suffer in this fight for a principle.
The cotton, yarn, lace and wool mills
and factories in Granmont, in East Flan
dors, are affected br the movement, a
large numoer ol operatives in these indus
tries having joined in the strike move
ment.
The gendarmes attempted to break up a
meeting at Janmont, but not without a
stout resistance. Though the gendarmes
had the advantage of arms and discipline,
the strikers struggled desperately and were
only dispersed altar a long contest and two
gendarmes and a large number of rioters
were seriously wounded,
The Governor of the province of Brabant
in which this city is situated, has instruct
ed all Mayors of cities and towns within
his administrative district that they must
prohibit all public demonstrations for uni
versal suffrage.
Paris, April 17.—The progress of events
in Belgium continues to be watched here
with some anxiety*. It is feared that if
matters assume a'still more decidedly rev
olutionary aspect, Germany may intervene
and send "an army of occupation into Bel
gium, by way of Verviers. This view,
however, is regarded as pessimistic.
Bbussklls, April 18—The Belgian revo
lution has succeeded. The reigning aris
tocracy has surrendered, and Belgium will
hereafter be governed by the people. The
victory for universal suffrage has cost set
eral lives and serious bloodshed, but, con
sidering the terrible sacrifices, which, un
til the last moment, it seemed would bo
necessary, the price paid is rot a great
one.
The right of self-government has not
been granted willingly. It was wrung
from the present authorities by a display
revolutionary force such a* has not been
seen in Europe since Paris was in the
bands of Commune. Tho manifestation of
popular will was imposing and truly ter
rible. Itoyerawed and conquered an ar
rogance which until to day defied it.
It has been a day of suspense and fear
throughout Belgium. The entire country
is under arms, anil business of every de
scription is paralyzed. The terrible nature
of the crisis was emphasized as never be
fore when 20,000 Socialists met just out
side of Brussels and voted solemnly and
without excitement to shed tneir last drop
of blood to secure the rights of suffrage.
Tho leaders advised the multitude to re
frain from violence till tho decision of Car
liraent was known.—Later In the day the
mob consented. Their felloes in other
places showed loss self restraint. Soon
came the news that several more had been
killed and many wounded in Antwerp, and
that the bloody work was going on again
in Mons and other places.
Brussells waited. There was an unmis
takable air of dread and apprehension upon
the eitv. All the large places of business
were closed and the shutters were up. The
residential streets were completely desert
ed and public quarters thronged. But few
women were about. All vehicles, except
a few cabs, disappeared, and the army and
mob stood and waited.
Cavalry and infantry held all the streets
within half a mile of the King's Palace
and Parliment buildings. The groat ques
tion was whether the Army could be re
lied on to oppose the people. Tho Civic
Guard, which is a gilt-edged corps of well
to-do young men, were pretty sure to obey
any order to fire upon the rioters, as they
had already done at Mons and Antwerp.
It was more doubtful, however, if the reg
ular troops, recruited by compulsion from
the masses, would turn the guris against
their fathers and brothers, ft was observ
ed that scores of the multitude itself were
men who had completed th-> required mili
tary service, but who now appeared ia un
dress uniform.
In the meantime, tho lower House of the
Legislature assembled. No plan of com
promise hail been arranged. The Govern
ment in blind obstinacy moved to take up
the bill of railroad rates, affirming that, it
would not consider tho suffrage question
under threats of a mob They met opposi
tion not only from the Liberals, but form
the extreme moderates, who until now op
posed any plan of universal suffrage. The
latter, amid great excitement, declared it
would be a national crime to postpone
action when the fate of the country itself
depended on the decision. Tho speakers
were taunted with cowardice.
Soon it became apparent that a vast ma
jorityoftho Chamber were at last con
vincod that the people were determined to
overthrow the monarchy iUell'.if necesaary,
to gaiu their purpOHO.
The Boone voted to nit until a commit
tee agreed on Home suffrage measure. It
refused to adopt the Government sugges
tion to act on the budget, which was wail
ing. The members. instead, went outside
to view the trance sight > in the street* of
the city, which wan in state of nfege.
Thomond* of troop* filled the streets,
converging at I'arliament Hall Deyond
tboui the mob stood waiting. It wan near
ly 4 o'clock, but there bail been no col
linlon. The multitude wa ; . silent and not
even s*ullen. There wa*, however, no mil
taking the attitude of the unnumbered
thousand!!.
The member* of the Chamber went back
to their . eats profoundly impressed. Tele
gram* poured iu telling of renewed light
ing in the provinces, and a mild but salu
tary panic took possession of the House.
The committee was forced to report. It
brought in a measure providing universal
suffrage to citizens above 2">, with an ad
ditional vote for heads of families anil
atltither lor those possessing educational
qualification*. It wa* briefly debated and
'I nick ly brought to a vote.
The result was 11!) in favor of and lii
again ft it, with II absentees. The figures
were received with amazement on all ides
indicating, a* they did, the panic stricken
condition of the House. The new quickly

Last week we visited tho House of
Refuge and the Home for Feeble M inded
Children in Delaware county. In the
House of Refuge there are about 600 boys.
They are taught to work, required to at
tend school three hours every day, and
are given good moral instruction. Gener
ally speaking they are a bright looking lot
of boys, aud most of them will prove to be
good and useful citizens. After the com
mittee had examined the institution the
boys were marched in tho chapel, where
they were regaled with a few speeches.
The president then said it was customary
when the Legislative committee visited
the institutional give the boys a half holi
day. "Now," he continued, "all those in
favor of having a holiday this afternoon
will say 'aye.'" And everyone of those
six hundred boys yelled /aye" with all the
force of their lungs. ."Contrary opinion
'no,'" said the president. Not one of them
cheeped. Wo all agreed that it was the
most thoroughly unanimous vote we ever
heard.—Punxsutawney Spirit.
