.The briiiebs who were balled for
. their appearance at llarrlsburg on Mon
day the 20th ult., all made their appcar
ance. Judge Pearson In passing sentence
said as a man he could pity them, but as
a judge he was bound only to .remember
that they had been convicted of a
serious crime. All the defendants were
sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000 and
costs of prosecution, and one year In the
Eastern penitentiary at hard labor and
close confinement.
.The Ukmociiats of this Btate met in
Convention on Wednesday last. It was
expected that a split would be the result
of the quarrel between theVVallaoe and
Jlandal factions. After a very stormy
time however, peace was proclaimed and
' a love feast was held. The nominations
for Btate ofilcers were: George A. Jenks
of Jefferson Co., for Supreme Judge;
Col. R. P. Eechart, of Phil's., for Audi
tor Oeueral. The preference of the
State for President was left an open
question and each delegate to the Na
tional Convention will vote for the Can
didate he prefers. The unit rule was
however defeated by a small majority.
Till! old proverb should now be chang
ed to read, " The way of the transgressor
is made easy by the pardon board."
That conclave met in special session on
Thursday and recommended the remit
ting of so much of the sentence of the
bribers as provided for imprisonment.
The governor hastened to comply with
the suggestion of the board.the attorneys
guickly attended to the proper presenta
tion of the papers and ,the bribers were
shortly on their way home. And so the
laBt act in this farce ends and the cur
tain, drops for the present. The next
rehearsal Is announced for the August
court. As there are no very large fish
in the,tot yet to be tried, it may be that
if found guilty that the pardon board
will not so eagerly interfere with justice.
In the eases just disposed of Rumberger
et. al., may be very thankful that they
had Kemble to head the column as they
made their attack on the board of
pardon.
Merging License Bonds.
Pu11.AOEi.ruiA, April 27. Great ex
citement arose to-day about the office of
the District Attorney in consequence of
the discovery that the bonds filed by
tavern keepers during the current year
as security for their obeying the Jaws, to
the number of about ninety-five, bore
the names as securities of persons who
had no existence, the signatures being
in the same handwriting as the filling
in of the blank bonds. The licenses
require the countersign of the District
Attorney on his approval of the bonds,
and on detecting the fraud he refused to
approve them, and brought the matter
to ttie attention of the Court of Quarter
Bessious. Judge Finletter at once sum
moned the grand jury and commit
ted the matter to its charge, directing
that all other business be laid aside In
order that the forgers might be brought
to epeedy punishment.
More Storm DoJofls.
Meridian, Miss., April, 20. A heavy
Btorm passed over Macon, Miss., last
night, blowing away twenty-two houses,
Including the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
machine shops, round-house, depot, and
telegraph oflle. Sixteen cars were
blown from the track, and seventeen
persons killed and twenty-two wounded.
The loss of property is estimated at not
less than $100,000. Meridian was called
on to send physicians, and six or eight
have gone from here to attend the
suffering. The path of the cyclone was
one hundred and fifty yards wide. Mrs.
Hardon was decapitated and her head
was not found at last accounts. One
family took refuge in a cellar and all
escaped, except a negro girl who was
killed before reaching it. A car on a
railroad track was blown through a
house occupied by J. Blackwell and
family, injuring all, but none danger
ously. A number of animals were
killed.

Astonishing, Newspaper Men.
LouinViLLE, Ky., April 25. To-day,1
for the first time In years, the Sunday
law prohibiting work of any kind was
enforced.. Between midnight and two
o'clock this morning the police visited
all places which were open, including
newspaper offices, and took the names of
every person doing work, for present
ment the Grand Jury. The list
Includes all classes edltors.composltors,
pressmen, newsboys, saloon-keepers and
hacktoen. The law Is very stringent,

Sudden Death.
Tuesday morning at 10:30, Win. Sax
ton, a man about 70 years of age, while
Bitting on the east end of the Court
House portico, and in conversation with
one of two other persons, was noticed to
sink down and threaten to fall upon the
pavement. His fall was arrested by by.
BtanderB, and he was carried Into the
hall of the building where efforts were
made to restore him, but unsuccessfully.
If his death was not Instantaneous when
he sank, it came in a very few moments
after. Mr. Sax ton a former resident of
town, had but lately returned here after
a year or two employed In Granville
township. He proposed that morning
going to the mountains below td peel
bark, but was dissuaded from doing so
by his wife, it would seem providential

Horse Stolen.
Last Friday night the stable of Robert
Cornman, at Trlndle Spring, a short dis
tance west of MechanicBburgh was
broken open and one of his fine
black horses stolen therefrom, also a fine
set of harness was taken at the same
time. A new buggy was also taken
from the stable of Mr. Blair, living close
by Mr. Cornman, it is supposed by the
same parties. A reward of $70 has been
offered as follows : $25 for the recovery
of the horse ; $5 for the harness, $10 for
the buggy and $30 for the conviction of
the thief.
A Leper.
It may be startling intelligence to the
large majority of our readers to learn
that there is a clearly defined case of
leprosy existing In the pleasant village
of New Oxford, AdaniB county. The
unfortunate victim to this loathsome
and Incurable disease I9 a soldier of the
late war of the rebellion, who was dls
charged from the service in 1805 as a lep
er, having contracted the fearful disease
known as leprosy while In service. The
veteran enjoys a pension from the
Government on account of the disability
resulting from this terrible affliction.
This, we presume, is the first Instance
of the existence of this disease known
in this section of country.
Phenomenon In Virginia.
The Tappahannock, Va., special says:
" Quite an excitement has been created
in some portions of this county by the
appearance of vast quantities of a liquid
resembling honey in taste, In the forest;
the pine forest are laden with it and it Is
falling in showers from the boughs.
It Is found, it is said, only on and In the
immediate vicinity of pines, and hence
it is supposed to exude from the leaves
of the pine on which it may be Been
hanging In crystal drops."

as it may one of the sparrows will remain
on the nest, and the other has been fre
quently observed to sit upon the Iron of
the knocker while it is striking, apparently
not in the least disconcerted by the din.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, April 28, 1880.
There was something very much like an ex
citing debate In tho Senate on Monday on the
Bpoubrd-Rellogg content. (Senators Blaine,
Jonas, Bayard, Edmunds and others took part.
Yesterday the subject was laid aside, and the
Indian Appropriation bill considered, but not
disposed of. The Senate also passed the
House bill to equip Captain Howgate's Polar
expedition. Capt. Howgate is now preparing
his vessel at Alexandria, and expeccts it to sail
about the middle of May. It will carry a col
ony to some accessible point on the Coast of
Greenland. The colonists will remain there
and make such discoveries as may be possible.
The vessel will return, to go back again with
supplies at the proper time.
The House yesterday passed the District Ap
propriation bill, and will now go on with other
necessary measures. There are no " riders"
on any of the appropriation bills yet to be con
sidered, and It is believed they can all be dis
posed of at an early day.
There are stories that the President will,
and that he will not, veto the " Immediate
Deficiency" bill. The ground for the expected
veto is the limitation put on the service and
ar.lhorlty and manner of appointing the spe
cial deputy or election marshals. It is almost
certain that, If the bill la vetoed, the Demo
cratic majority in House and Benatewlll pass
identically the same bill, only leaving out all
reference to the special or election marshals.
The army appropriation bill, which has a " ri
der" forbidding payment of troops for services
at the polls, will probably be approved by the
President.
Secretary Sherman expects a surplus of over
ten million of dollars for April. The receipts
from Customs and Internal Revonne, are larger
than anticipated by any one.
Congress will undoubtedly make suitable pro
vision for the reception of the King of Slam,
who will arrive here during the summer. His
time away from New Tork and Washington,
will be principally spent in the Booth, as he
desires to learn all that he can of our methods
of raising rice and the sngar cane.
The Sherman Bureau here continues to con
gratulate Itself on the fact that Mr. Blaine has
not captured Ohio. The best characteristic of
Sherman and his bureau Is their hearty appre
ciation of small favors. Now that the favor
ite son has a grip on the tail of his own State,
bis enp of bliss fairly slops over. But there Is
one fact that bothers our Secretary of the
Treasury Is that all the sure Republican coun
ties of the 8tate have selected Blaine Delegates
to Chicago. Olivi.
