to pay their hotel bills out of their own

Uepouts from almost every section
of the country indicate that this year's

of the last two years.
Governor Hoyt has vetoed the Judi

Editorial Excursion.
On Monday evening the 20th inst.,a
large number of the members of the
Editorial Association of this State, ac
companied by their lady friends, met at
the Continental Hotel in Philadelphia,
to learn the detail of arrangements made
for the ninth annual trip. On Tuesday
morning the number was largely in
creased by the arrival of members on
the early train, and at nine o'clock a
special train left the 32d street depot for
Long Branch. This train had been
provided by the liberality of the P. R. R.
Co., who with the care always shown by
this company to provide for the comfort
of the passengers had placed in the train
a plenty of cars to convey the large
party without crowding. A little less
than three hours later the train reached
Long Branch where accommodations
bad been secured at Lelands Ocean
Hotel. Arrangements had been made
by the Secretary of the Association so
that only a few minutes were needed to
get each person to the room assigned
them. The. remainder of that day was
spent by the excursionists in resting,
strolling along the beach, or visiting
the pretty places around the town. On
Wednesday about one hundred and fifty
went up to New York by steamboat, it
being a beautiful ride of only two hours.
On Thursday at 1 :30 P. M., President
Garfield gave a reception in the parlor
of the hotel, when he was introduced to
those present, shaking hands, and greet
ing each one with a few pleasant words.
Gen. Grant had promised to be present
at the annual dinner in the evening but
failed to keep his engagement. The
dinner passed off pleasantly without
him however. About three hundred
and fifty persons comprised the party
and as they separated on Friday, it
seemed to be the unanimous opinion
that this had been the pleasantest gath
ering that the Association had yet had.
The hotel accommodations had never
been as good, the traveling facilities
could not have been better, and the
weather was all that could be desired.
The Messrs. Lelands spared no pains to
make our stay pleasant, and the Associ
ation is indebted to the P. R. R. and
Central R. R. Companies for the safe
and pleasant transporation. Mr. L. P.
Farmer, the General Passenger Agent,
and his worthy assistants, did all that
could be done to make the excursion
enjoyable,and they certainly succeeded,
not only in dohlg that, but in earning
the thanks of each member of the purty.
An Evidence of Prosperity.
An Inspection of the establishment of
Messrs. Davchy & Co. cannot fail to
impress one with the vastuess of the re
quirements necessary to meet the de
mands of business men of all classes
who have learned the value of news
paper advertising. This firm, having
outgrown the limits of the office they
have occupied many years at the corner
of Fulton and Church streets, have re
cently removed to 27 Park Place, corner
of Church street, where they occupy an
entire floor, extending through the
block to Nos. 24 and 20 Murray street, a
space or about r0 by 200 feet. Their
offices are complete in every detail.
About CO feet of the Park Place front Is
partitioned oil for the Counting Room
and Private Ofllce, which are hand
somely and substantially fitted up. Be
yond the Counting Room the walls on
both sides are covered from floor to cell
ing with pigeon-holes for files of news
papers, and on one side of the room are
a number of alcoves, extending 10 or 12
feet, covered on both sides with pigeon
holes, furnishing places for about 8,000
tiles. The Intermediate Bpace is filled
with desks and tables used by the exam
ining and recording clerks. The Mur
ray street front is given up to the Ship
ping Department, Messrs. Davchy &
Co. being also manufacturers and deal
era In printers' supplies of every kind.
A Wedding Postponed.
Hartford, June 15. The social sen
sation in Hartford to-day has been the
disappointment of a fashionable wed
ding party last night, at the house of
Normaud Hubbard, in Bloomlield St.
The marriage of Mr. Hubbard's accom
plished daughter, aged 23 years, to Lee
Faulkner, a dress goods salesman in New
York, said to be an agent for a Philadel
phia house, was to have been celebrated,
but Mr. Faulkner failed to put In an ap
pearance. Miss Hubbard met theyoung
man for the first time about five years
ago, and their acquaintance three years
later ripened into an engagement of mar
riage. There has been so far as is
known, a smooth courtship, and the
conduct of the suitor has been of such ex
ceptional straightforwardness that Mr.
Hubbard said to-day that he had perfect
confidence in the young man. The last
train was waited for last night,and as the
young man did not arrive it was an
nounced that the ceremony must be de
ferred. Miss Hubbard was desperately
cast down, but retained her confidence
in her suitor, believing that there must
be a good excuse for his absence. A
friend of the family went to New York,
and has been investigating there to-day.
All that is known here is that theyoung
man left his boarding house at 0 a. m.,
yesterday, and has not been seen there
since. No possible cause for his deser
tion of the girl can be imagined. She
Is everything that his heart could have
desired in womanly graces, and is pos
sessed of a comfortable fortune.
A Queer Case.
The following queer story comes from
Erie : A Mr, Poole from Erie met and
clandestinely married a woman in New
York two years since. The husband had
to pledge himself to remain a stranger to
his wife until she consented to publicly
announce their marriage. Recently he
learned that her motives were merce
nary. He commanded her to live with
him. She refused, and he came home to
Erie to sue for divorce on the ground of
desertion. The wife not wanting a di
vorce, followed on and learning that tho
suit would not hold if cohabiting could
be proven, offered to live with him.
The husband then refused, and the wife
resorted to cunning. She made him in
toxicated and engaged rooms at a hotel,
where he found himself the next morn
ing with his wife, who packed up imme
diately afterwards and left, defying him
to divorce her for desertion. What the
woman's objeot is does not seem to be
known.
Appearance of the Seventeen Year Locusts.
Prof. C. V. Rilley, of Washington,
finds his predictions with regard to the
seventeen-year locusts verified by their
appearance within a few days in various
localities. He made a report some time
ago on this subject, based mainly upon
an unpublished manuscript of the late
Dr. Gibson Smith of Baltimore, who
made a life-study of these insects. From
this list it appears that a brood of the
seventeen-year locust should mature this
year in certain parta of Wisconsin,
North Carolina Virgiuia, Northern
Ohio, and a few lu Lancaster county'
Pa., and Westchester county, New York ;
the brood known as the thirteen-year
locust was to be expected this year quite
generally throughout the South. The
two broods have little or no specified
difference, but divide on geographical
lines.
A Sheriff's Brave Wife.
Detroit, June 22. A second attempt
was made at au early hour this morning
to reach and lynch Voskauip, the mur
derer, who shot and killed his employer
Lyman Cody about a month ago at
Lamont, and who is now In jail, at
Grand Haven, Michigan. About n
dozen of the most highly respected farm
ers In that vicinity went to the jai!,over
powered the deputy sheriff and compell
ed him to give them the key to the mur
derer's cell. They then went in and
secured their victim. The sheriff was
absent, but his wife was aroused by the
noise, and discovering the situation,
cloged the outside door which the lynch
ing party had left unguarded, and im
prisoned the whole party. She then
sent a servant to ring the fire alarm,
which called out the citizen ami com
pletely frustrated the whole attempt.

A Horse Kills a Groom.
New York, June 20. Thomas F.
Ryan, a banker of this city, about six
weeks ago bought a handsome sorrel
gelding. He seemed gentle, yet quite
spirited. On Saturday the animal was
removed from one stable to another,
and In the absence of the groom employ
ed by Mr. Ryan, Richard Johnson, a
colored groom, went into his stall. A
few moments later the other grooms
heard a cry of help, and found Johnson
lying on the floor with his skull crushed
in by the horse's hoofs. He died soon
after. Yesterday morning Murray went
to feed the horse, and was kicked over
and trampled on by the vicious animal,
and when dragged away by the other
grooms it was found that his skull was
fractured. He will probably die.
Struck by the Cars.
Cleveland, June 22. Shortly after
3 o'clock this afternoon an east bound
train on the New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio railroad, when about twelve
miles from here, struck a buggy in
which were riding Thomas Garfield,
uncle of President Garfield, and Mrs
Alouzo Arnold, sister of Dr. Boynton
and cousin of the President. Thomas
Garfield was instantly killed and Mrs.
Arnold's skull was so badly fractured
that her life is despaired of. The buggy
was dragged about two hundred feet be
fore the train was stopped. Mr. Gar
field was eighty years old. He leaves
seven children. President Garfield and
Dr. Boynton were telegraphed to at
Long Branch.
A Suspension Bridge Burned.
PiTTSiiunoii, June 20. About 1
o'clock yesterday afternoon on the sus
pension bridge over the Allegheny river
caught fire from some unknown cause
and was partially .destroyed. The loss
will reach $40,000, on which there is no
Insurance, as the bridge wad considered
fire-proof. It was an imposing structure
and cost $300,000 when built in 1800. As
the largest portion of the travel between
Allegheny City and this city was over
this bridge, the public will experience
great inconvenience until repairs are
made.

Major Twining, Corps of Engineers, U. fi. A.
asks that the reported newspaper Interview, in
which he was made to ttale that tho Washing
ton monument would not stand more than live
or tlx centurtet, be tukeu with grului of allow

Thirty feet have beeu added to it sluce work
.was resumed nnder the Sherman appropriation,
and the foundation strengthened in every way
that science could devise. The present esti
mate Is that one half the ultimate height of
650 feet will be completed by this time next
year, and that by the summer of 18S4 the work
will be completed. Stone cannot be laid, of
course, lu the winter, but the work of prepar
ing It goes on throughout the year.
An effort will be made, next wluter, to push

organising It thoroughly. Every Commission

to carry nn hit work satisfactorily, and the
csnvlctlnn It now general that the niggardli
ness of Congress would cease If the work of
the office were pretested separately Instead of
as a part of that of the Interior Department.
The truth It that the ofllce, Instead of being an
expense to the Government, ylcldt to it a
haudsomo annual revenue, aud has never
failed to do to. Out of this revenue the mag
nificent building waa constructed In which the
Interior Department Is located, and In which
the Patent Ofllce Itself hat Tory inadequate
quarter!. There It a Bteady Increase In the
amount of business before the Ofllce, and in a

The National Republican, In ltt Issue this

convict any of the accused persons who might
''be indicted. It Is undoubtedly true that much -
more evidence Is found of Injudicious action on
tUft-part of ex-ofllclalt, than of criminal onct ;
but the patient and industrlout Investigators
are confident that the missing links of testi
mony will yet he found. At least, they say
they are.
