The regiment was mustered out
July 27, 1863, Harrison Allen was
colonel, George McFarland, lieuten
ant-colonel and John W. Young,
major. It was in Doubleday's di
vision of the First Corps, and an
other account says it sustained a
total loss of 123 men of whom two
officers and 67 men were killed in
action and one officer and 63 men
died of disease in prison, by accident,
etc. The greatest loss in any one bat
tle was at Gettysburg where the regi
ment lost 31 in killed, 202 wounded
and 102 missing, an aggregate of 335
out of 467 engaged.
The Union regiment which suf.
ferod the greatest loss at that battle
was the 24th Michigan, whose total
losses were 863. The Pennsylvaia
regiments, whose losses were great
est in it were in the First Corps and
were the 151st and 149th. The re
giment opposed at this battle to the
151st was the 26th North Carolina
of Pettigrew'B Brigade which went
into tho fight with over 800 men
and lost 588 in killed and wounded
and 120 missing, most of whom
were also killed or wounded. Most
of this loss occurred in the first
day's fight whon the regiment met
the 151st and Cooper's battery.
Of the 96 men composing Com
pany B thirty-pight have gone over
to the silent majority.
Some rest in unknown graves,
some are buried in National oeme
ierios.and some sleep in our church
yards whose graves are yearly
decked with flowers by the hands of
their living comrades. Their names
are enrolled on the Nation's page of
honor, and their memories are re
vered for the noble sacrifice they
made on the bloody field of battle.
MR. M'KINLEY'S VIEWS.
There have been some statements
made in certain quarters as to Mo
Kinley's views on the money ques
tion and questions raided as to their
soundness. Following are his words
and if language can convey a man's
sentiments they would seem to set
the matter at rest. In his speech in
answer to ex-Governor Campbell he
said, " Unlike my opponent, I will
not ask you to take any chanoes on
this money question. I will clearly
and unequivocally say to you that
my voice and influence Hre in favor
of the best money that the ingenu
ity of man has devised. The people
are not prepared to Indulge in the
speculation of free and unlimited
coinage.". And from his speech in
Congress, " Whatever dollars we
have in this country must be good
dollars ; good, not by the fiat of law
alone, but good because the whole
commercial world recognizes their
inherent and inextinguishable value.
What Is there equivocal or doubt
ful in the above expressions 1 Can
any truth be stated more clearly Or
comprehensively ?
Perhaps these same people doubt
his soundness on the tariff question,
and with as good reason.
DELEGATES UP-TO-DATE.
There have been so far 832 dele
gates elected to the National Con
vention leaving 86 to be chosen, and
they are claimed to be divided as
follows : Reed, 97 ; McKinley, 461 ;
Morton, 64 j Cullum. 12 ; Allison, 42 ;
Quay, 66 ; Bradley, 16 : doubtful, 84.
The total number will be 918 and if
the above estimate is correct, leav
ing out the doubtful column, Mc
Kinley has enough to secure the
nomination. There are said to be
a number in the doubtful column,
however, who will vote for him,
and it is probable that his actual
strength to-day is 600. The Demo
crats are very anxious that he
should be nominated, and present
indications are strong that their anx
iety will be appeased. They say
he will be an easy man to beat, wit h
Mr.
McKINLEY POPULAR IN PENN
SYLVANIA. From the Scranton " Tribune "
So far as Pennsylvania is concern
ed, we do not think that an honest
doubt can be expressed as to the su
periority of ex-Governor McKinley 's
popularity among the voting masses
over that of any other present candi
date save possibly Senator Quay.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania,
at least a commanding majority of
them, are willing, out of personal
compliment reinforced by State
pride, to accord to Senator Quay's
Presidential candidacy a cordial
support so long as it shall reasona
ble appear to have a prospect of
success ; but when that prospect van
ishes a contingency seemingly more
probable now than at any prior time
those Republican delegates from
this State who are considerate of
the wishes of the men whom they
represent will with equal cordiality
transfer their support to William
McKinley, and will not feel bound
to make any apology for doing so.
They will not sulk because they can
not have Quay as the nominee :
they will not wait to be coaxed or
dealt with ; they will step forward
willingly and in the best of humor
to the standard of the man who is
Pennsylvania's second choice, pre
pared to give to the completed tick
et, whether it bo led by McKinley
or another, the best support within
their power.
Some have mildly criticized the
action of Chief Burgess Wells for
dismissing the complaint made by
Officer Smith against the New York
gentleman who violated the borough
ordinance May 2 by riding his bicy
cle on the sidewalk. The street in
front of the Hotel Fauchere had
been saturated with water, and one
of the riders had just fallen from
his wheel in the mud caused he al
leged by its slipping. The arrested
party wished to avoid this discom
fiture and so rode a short distance
on the walk and was promptly ar.
rested. The above explanation was
given the Burgess and he considered
the reason and excuse sufficient, and
remitted any punishment, but that
the Borough should be at no loss on
that account he paid out of his own
pocket to Officer Smith the foes of
50 cents for making the arrest. Mr.
Smith subsequently presented a bill
to the Council for the same fees and
a voucher was drawn therefor
which has been paid. This is thrift
on the part of the officer to say the
least-

Power transmitted from Niagara

By look or word or gesture, were invit

But quite ignoring all of them, except to
bow or smile,
When hailed by some one at the door or

He read with boyish eagerness, while
speeding o'er the street,
The poorly printed pages of a little coun

And learned that "Solon Huddleson

That "Aunty Simklns gave a tea, " that

And that " Ab. Bailey came to town and

TRACKS FOR WAGONS.
Steel Rails That Will Be a Boon In the
Country.
Ex Railroad Commissioner John
O'Donnoll has invented a steel track
highway, designed for wagons, car
riages, etc., which promises to solve
the difficult problem of good roads,
and of proving a boon to farmers
and others. In its general appear
ance tho new steel highway at a
short distance looks like a horse
railroad. Upon a closer inspection
the steel tracks are gutter shape, 5
inches wide, flat on the bottom,
with sides about half an inch high.
The track on the inside edges is
slightly rounded to facilitate turn
ing off or on tho track.
First the road bed is graded the
dosired width. Twelve feet is a
good width for an ordinary one-
track road, the steel track being
paved on one side,but on a thorough
fare the road should be wider, and
still wider for a double track road,
which is the model road where
there is large travel. The road is
graded or lovelod with a ditch about
8 inches deep. When finished this
ditch will be about 16 inches deep.
The ties are about 4 by 6 inches and
7 feet long, projecting a little be
yond the track timbers, which are
laid 4 feet inches from otentre to
centre the standard gauge for rail
road cars and all other vehicles.
The road is now ready to fill be
tween the rails and at the sides with
stone, macadam finish, or any other
suitable material. The highway is
self draining, and can always be
kept in good condition.
The steel track road, besides its
general use for wagons, is the best
road yet devised for bicycles. The
five-inch steel track on either side
will do for racers, while the smooth
macadam road between the tracks
will make the tracks passible. Re

8CIENT1FIC HITTING PAYS.
paMlns: Tslls ffnw Re Was Able fr
Plaes the llall Anrvhm.
'Dofom I . Joined tho Boston Red
fltorklngs," said A. O. flpaldlng re
cently, "I nsed to go tip to the bat with
tho sola oblnot In view of hitting the
ball from the shoulder as hard as I
oonld, without any idea as to what part
of tho field it would go or on the
ground or In tho air. All I thought of
was to 'knock it out of the lot,' as the
boy" iay. But I aoon found that thore
fM something more In batting than
that. I think I got my first idea of
what batting should be from defending
my wicket In cricket when we went to
England on that baseball tonx in 1874.
At any rate, I got into the habit of try
ing to place the ball, instead of hitting
at random, and from that time I real
ized that to try to tap the bnll to right
field over the heads of the infleldors
and short of the catching reach of the
ontflolderg was about tho right caper.
The new method of handling the
bat, I remember, rame to me all of
sudden. I hod been for some months
batting yery poorly while hitting from
the shoulder, a base hit being the result
in about eight of ten times at the bat,
and even less. Ono day I thought I
would try something different, and, get
ting some one to pitch swift balls to me,
I went in for tapping them to right field
so that they would fall safo, and after a
few trials np went my batting average
of base hits at a jnmp, and especially
did my hitting prove useful when run
ners were on the bases. The boys be
gan to want me to follow them at the
bat, becauso I hit so as to bat them
round toward home. Then it was that
I first practically realized that a swift
ly pitched ball to the bat which was
just tapped by the but that is, hit
lightly, but not liken bunt would go
to the field, sharp from the bat, with
surprising speed ; besides which, I could
govern its direction better than it was
possible in hitting it from the shoulder,
as before.
"Talking of swift pitching," contin
ued Mr. Spalding, " I used to think that
we old time pitchers conld send in a
pretty speedy ball under the rule of the
underhand throw, but nono of us ever
equaled tho speed of the cyclone pitch
ing of the present time which comes
from the regular overhand throw. Then,
too, with all our practice, we could not
command the ball in delivery, as is pos
sible in overhand throwing. " New
York Times.
