On Wednesday, Hon. Horace May
nartl appeared at the poet oiTlce depart
ment and took the oath of office. Mr.
Hayes has signed the commission of
Judge D. M. Key, to 'be district Judge
for the Eastern district of Tennessee.
He also Bigned the commission of Gen.
Longstreet, as United-States minister to
Turkey.
Hon. Hiehteb Ciymkii will Institute
suit at once against Comrutwp., Berks
county, for damages sustained to him
self and family last Tuesday evening
while driving over the Three-mile House
road.- The probabilities are that, through
the negligence of the supervisors, Com
ru township will now have a heavy bill
of damages to pay, and besides that Mr.
Clymer may be a cripple for life.
Every voteu should see that he is
registered. It will save trouble and
may save a vote. The-Constltutlon pro
vides that those not registered may be
permitted to vote upon making due
proof by some citizen of the reason why
they were not registered, and that they
would be entitled to vote In case they
were registered. Any one who is chal
lenged may be called upon to make
proof of his right to vote, but It is often
attended with trouble and delay, and
people ought not to make the objections
unless they have reason to suppose that
the person Is trying to vote contrary to
the law.
Persons attempting to vote who are
not qualified are guilty of felony. This
may not be generally known to the peo
ple. The act of Assembly provides that
such persons upon conviction, may be
fined not exceeding $500 and Imprison
ment not less than two nor more than
five years.
Offering or accepting any reward of
any kind for voting for a candidate, Is a
misdemeanor and punishable by fine
and imprisonment. Bo, in like manner,
is those of any threat to effect any
man's vote. Betting or offering to bet
on the result of the election is also a
misdemeanor for which a man may be
Imprisoned. It is highly demoralizing
in its influence and severely condemned
by the laws of our State. Judge Pear.
son.
Heathen at Home.
There is no use spending money to
convert foreign heathen while such
cases as the following are found in the
city of Philadelphia. The North Amer
ican of that city says : "A horrible ease
of neglect and dissipation was called to
the attention of the police Tuesday
morning. Upon proceeding to a house
in the rear of 1110 6t. John street, a
small child was found lying upon a
table dead, and an inquiry developed the
fact that it had expired on Sunday. The
mother, entirely obllrious to the sur
roundings, was stretched in a drunken
stupor upon the floor, while in another
joomlay another child suffering the
fatal agonies of diphtheria. In the front
house it was learned that four other
children were ailing with the same
disease, and that in the adjoining one a
Jbaby was dead from it also. The quar
ter is one of great squalor and poverty,
the people inhabiting it being abdicted
to drunkenness and to the practice of
cruelty and neglect toward their chil
dren." A Cool Railroader.
The Altoona Tribune of a recent date
tells the following story of the heroic act
of a fireman :
The fireman on engine No. 817, which
is a Modoc and runs on the Pittsburgh
division, has proved himself a hero and
worthy of the place he holds. Before
daylight one morning last week he
performed a deed which old railroad
men say was one of the bravest ever
executed on the mountain. The train
was coming near Altoona from Gallit
fcln, and when near the latter station
rear end of the train parted, leaving the
conductor and all the brakemen but one
on it The break was not notloed on
the engine and the train ran on through
the tunnel. While still in there twenty,
three cars broke from the rear end of
what was left and came spinning along
without a Lrakeman on them. The
brakeman on the front section, when
they slackened up, saw that a collision
on the heavy down grade was Inevitable,
and he and the engineer both jumped to
save themselves. Then it was that the
true qualities of the fireman were dis
played. He sprang to the vacant seat,
opened the throttle and started down
the mountain. In a moment the colllson
came, but Us force was weakened so that
nothing was broken. He was the only
man on a train of thirty-three cars
running rapidly down the grade. It
took but a short time to reverse the
engine and apply the brake. Then back
on the cars he climbed and put on the
brakes. It was a three-mile run before
he succeeded in getting them stopped,
but by his nerve he saved a tremendous
freight wreck, as had the cars got a start
they would have every one landed in
the ditch at the horse shoe curve if not
sooner.
Severe Thunder Storms.
WlLKEHliAHltK, fa., August 25. A
furious storm with thunder and light
ning prevailed here to-day. Several

so struck a number of places about the

A Disastrous Hurricane In Jamaica.
Kingston, Jamaica, August 10. A

Famine is imminent and help is requir
ed for the starving thousands.
HiTThe residence of James Mutthers-
uaugn, above town, on tne ridge, was
stuck by lightning on Thursday after
noon of last week. The bolt passed
down the chimney, then along the raf
ters, and out of the roof. The only dam
age was the shattering of a rafter or two
and the breaking of the shingles where
it passed out. No one was hurt, but the
Inmates of the house were stunned.
A bog of cotton rags hanging to the
rafter was ignited, but was easily extin
guished. No rain was falling at the
time. LewMown Sentinel.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, August 25, 1880.
General Albert S. Myer's death was ofllcl
ally announced yesterday by the Secretary of
war. The General was very popular here,
and he had become to widely known through
out tbe eountry that his death will excite
attention. If entitled to the credit for most of
the progress of the " Weather Bureau," as I
think he was, the loss was a serious one. To
dwellers upon land and sea, and lake, his
Bureau was of great and growing benefit. An
effort has been made to show that what Is
really of importance to the Bureau was sug
gesled and explained by another, and that
General Mjer appropriated instead of origin
nting. Tbe authorities here have always given
the credit to General Myer, and probably with
reason. The contest for honors will be removed
however. The deceased ofllcor's rank was that
of Brigadier General, and the place will prob
ably be fillet) from among army officers holding
as high a rank as Colonel. There seemed to
be no foundation for the report that Captain
Howgate would be selected.
Hon. Horace Maynard, appointed Post Mas
ter General will be commissioned to-day and
will assume charge of the Department. It Is
understood that the new official will make fow,
If any changes In the pertonntl of the Depart'
mcnt. lie will be absent a large portion of
the time uutll November, and will hardly have
opportunity to learn the merits of his suuordl
natos. Judge Key leaves at once for Ten
nessee.
There are aioat here now two rumors of
Interest concerning army officers. One Is that
an order has been prepared, relieving General
Bchpfield from command at West Point, but
that It will not be lssned until after the No
vember election. The other Is to the effect
that General O. O. Howard has asked to be
placed on the retired list. It Is known that
General Howard seriously considered this step
some time ago, and tbe report now current,
and which seems to have authority, Indicates
that he has finally decided on that course.
Tbe service could not lose a more gallant
officer.
Washington gathers Into her permanent
population annually, a large number of retir
ing Government officials and Congressmen,
General Halbert E. Paine, late Commissioner
of Patents, and who, by the way, was formerly
a law partner of Secretary Schuri, will remain
permanently here and devote himself to legal
business, Including cases before the Patent
office.
Senator Conkllng in a letter to a gentlemen
In this city, says that be Is hastening the set
tlement of bis private business so that he may
engage In the campaign unembarrassed until
the day of election In November. He says
that he docs not believe the Democracy of New
York State will be divided in the contest In
that State, and therefore tbe Republicans will
have to put forth their best efforts to be assured
of success.
