By the agitation of the tax on whis
key and tobacco in Congress, and the
extension of the time for the payment
of the tax on bonded whiskey, it is esti
mated thnt there will be a decrease In
the revenue of ten millions. So much
for needless meddling with well enough.
The Goveunou has approved bills
appropriating $5,000 for the erection of a
monument over Ex-Governor Geary's
grave ; extending protection to foreign
and domestic Insurance companies from
fraudulent agents ; appropriating $100,
000 to the Hospital of Jefferson Medical
College, Philadelphia ; to confirm the
purchase and sale of the real estate of
building and loan associations hereto
fore made, and to authorize the disposal
of the unsold portion thereof. All bills
in the Governor's hands are now dis
posed of.
Both Houses of Congress have agreed
to the army bill fixing the maximum
number of men at 25,000. The section
transferring the Indian Bureau from the
Interior to the War Department was
stricken out. The organization of the
army is to remain for the present as it
is, but a commission is to be appointed
to consider and report on the subject
to Congress. The clause relating to
the use of the army as a posae eomita
lus was amended by omitting the words
"except when specially authorized by
law."
The Secretary of the Treasury is in a
quandary over the new silver dollar.
Six millions of them have been coined
and only one million have gone into
circulation, the balance remaining in
the Treasury vaults, as nobody wants
them or will have them. The men with
silver bullion to sell won't have them,
but insist on having gold dollars, the
small amounts of silver dollars the
government has been able to pay out
came right back because people don't
want to carry the heavy cumbersome
things around. The Secretary wants to
know what he is to do about the mat
ter. Defeat of the Resumption Repeal.
After worrying Congress and the
country all winter about the repeal of
the Resumption act, when the bill came
up on the 18th inst., for final action the
repealers killed it. An analysis of the
vote 140 to 105 shows that the bill
could not have been beaten without the
aid of the anti-resumptionists. The
charge made against the bill as amended
by the Senate was that it was in the in
terest of importers, and not in the in
terest of the masses, because it allowed
greenbacks to be received for customs
dues and hoarded them in the Treasury.
They say that the Senate amendments
were only a trick of the Secretary of the
Treasury to delude the House and pass
a measure in the interest of capitalists.
A great deal of bitter feeling was mani
fested when the bill came up for con
sideration. Editorial Excursion.
The Sixth Annual Excursion of the
Pennsylvania Editorial Association took
place last week. On Monday evening a
number of the editors, many of them ac
companied by their wives and children,
assembled at Harrisburg. From there a
special train was furnished by the P. R.
R., on Tuesday morning to convey the
party to Cresson Springs, where they ar
rived about 1 P. M. On Wednesday the
members of the party enjoyed themselves
in various ways till afternoon, when a
Bhort business meeting was held and an
address was delivered by Hon. A. K.
McClure.
In the evening the regular annual din
ner was served, concluding with several
toasts which were appropriately re
sponded to. On Thursday a special train
was furnished by the P. R. R. Co., and
Bell's Gap R. R. Co., to convey the party
to Lloydsville, which is situated at the
terminus of the Bell's Gap railroad.
This road is a narrow guage, running
around curves and up grades that a few
years ago would have been thought im
passable to a locomotive. The road is
eight miles and six-tenths in length and
in this distance has a grade of twelve
hundred and forty feet. On Friday
morning a special train conveyed the
party to Harrisburg.
Cresson Springs, the place selected for
this annual summer gathering,is located
on the top of the Alleghenies, and for
beauty of scenery, healthiness of air and
general comfort will bear a favorable
comparison with any place of summer
resort In the United States. The place
is reached by the P. R. R., and all trains
stop at this station.
This meeting was the largest ever held
by the association and was a trip which
will ever be pleasantly rcmemlK-red.
The Secretary, Mr. R. S. Menamln, had
made every arrangement for thecomfort
of all present, and to his exertions the
ladles and gentlemen are to a Very great
extent indebted for their enjoyment on
this occasion. The association owes a
debt of gratitude to G. Clinton Gardner,
Esq., Superintendent of the P. R. R.,
and to the other officers of that road,
also, to Joseph Ramsey, Jr., Sup't. of
the Bell's Gap R. R., for the many
favors extended.
Was Isaac Ettlen Murdered?
Isaac Ettien, a resident of Harrisburg,
was killed last week near Fostorla, on
the line of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The Altoona Morning Tribune, of Mon
day, odvances the following theory and
gives additional particulars in regard to
the accident :
" Isaac Ettien was a brakeman on the
first National line freight, and the train
left this place for the east about four
o'clock yesterday morning. About an
hour and a half later, when the train
stopped at Spruce Creek, blood was no
ticed upon the bumper of a car, and it
was then that Ettien was missed from
his post. An investigation was com
menced, when it became known to the
authorities in this city, under direction
of James II. Cramer, dispatcher. The
first sign of blood along the railroad
track was found at Fostorla, and it was
followed up until within half a mile
from Elizabeth Furnace station, and
then for about two hundred yards por
tions of the dead man's body were found
scattered along the track in particles the
largest of which were, according to Mr.
Cramer, no bigger than a man's two
hands.
"A theory advanced by Mr. Cramer is
that Ettien may have met his death at
the hands of tramps or rather that
tramps may have been the primary
cause. The fact that blood was traced
for so long a distance before the first
piece of the man's body was found
would indicate that he had lain upon
the car, the blood flowing from a wound
probably received by being struck In the
head with a stone. Mr. Cramer says
the tramps often stone the train hands.
Granting this idea to be correct, Ettien
was knocked down on the top of a car
and lay there, the blood meanwhile
flowing from the wound, until a lurch
of the train threw him between the cars
to the track, with the shocking result
detailed.
" Another theory induced by the
flnding of a piece of the breast in which
a cut was seen just at the top of the
breast bone, which appeared to be made
by a knife is that tramps may have
been on Ettien's car and In the endeavor
to put them off lie was murdered. As
the watch he was supposed to carry
could not be found the theory of rob
bery and murder is thus strengthened."
A Sad Affair.
Mr. Elijah Gore, a well-known and
highly respected citizen of the 3rd dis
trict, committed suicide at hia residence,
near Pikesville, about 10 o'clock on Sun
day morning last, by shooting himself
with a gun. Rev. J. II. C. Dosh and
Rev. Mr. Brown were paying a friendly
visit to the house of Mr. Gore, and at
about the hour stated, the latter gentle
man left them for the purpose of going
to his room to prepare for church. He
had been conversing cheerfully with his
friends and there was not the slightest
suspicion that he at all contemplated bo
horrible an act. Shortly after leaving
the room the ministers and family were
startled at the report of a gun which
fairly shook the house, and on going in
quest of Mr. Gore they found him lying
upon the floor quite dead, the top of his
head being shattered by the charge and
presenting a horrible spectacle. He had
evidently placed the muzzle of the gun
against his head and pulled the trigger
with his foot. Mr. Gore was an exem
plary member of the M. E. church. He
had for many years been manager of the
estate of Dr. John Fisher, and was him
self in good circumstances. It is said
that since the death of Dr. Fisher Mr.
Gore had expressed a desire to purchase
part of the estate, which was sold at
public sale last week. This he failed to
do,the property passing into other hands.
It is supposed this weighed so heavily
upon his mind as to dethrone his reason
and while in this condition he commit
ted the rash act. Mr. Gore was in the
52nd year of his age and leaves a wife
and three children. Towsontown (Md.)

ing over his farm when an Immense
flock of swallows, numbering over one
hundred, attacked him and hjs horse.
Although he put spurs to his horse to
