To what use the contents of the forger's diary will be put will be seen later, as no doubt the Farnellites will make the most of it and itB use at a standing menace to the government will be every valuable to the opposition. The daily hectoring through which the ministers have to pass on the subject of the assistance, which no one doubts they gave to The Times in working up its case for the com .iiasion is all preparatory to the grand assault that ii to come later.

London, March 22.—In the house of commons when the vote on the salary ol the chief secretary for Ireland, (Balfour] was reached, Mr. John Morley made a speech in which he severely criticised the government's action in carrying on further a clandestine battle behind theii opponents back. Mr. Charles Bradlaugb (liberal) move a redmbtion of the salary by £500. The motion was rejected, 27S to 811. Atlantic City, March 22.—Again has that dread combination, wind and tide, spread wholesale destruction along the beach front. The waves for the past two days have been steadily undermining the buildings on the inner side of the board walk, particularly at the lower end, from Michigan avenue down, and when the terrible flood tide and waves struck them they collapsed in numbers. Imagine • whole row of one to three story frame buildings being thrown seawards in a mass of indescribable ruins, the waves dashing among the timbers with a hissing, ominous roar, sending up clouds of spray and occasionally drenching the sniveling spectators, and one will have some idea of the scene witnessed between Mississippi and Georgia avenues at noon, when the highest tide ever known here was at its flood. Washington, March 22.—One of the most interesting statesmen here is William Walter Phelps, the sage of Hackensack, or, as he is more commonly called, the "Statesman of Teaneck," {where he dwels, and where, recently, his $50,000 house was burned to the ground, Involving the total lfMS of the finest library in New Jersey. There were three candidates for United States marshal of New Jersey—Watson, Cook and Budd Deacon, a Sewell man. "Budd" blossomed into the position without the help of Mr. Phelps, much to the latter's surprise, but it is generally conceded that the office of United States district attorney for New Jersey will be given to Phelps. It is generally conceded that if Sewell, Phelps and Dudley can be brought into hearty accord on the next governor, that Jersey will not long continue, with Connecticut, as the twin stars of Democracy is the north. "Bless Von, My Children." Milwaukee, March 22. — J. Matt Aubery, Jr., of Chicago, and his bride, the daughter of Chief Justice Fuller, are still in the city, and will remain for a few days longer, when they will go to Chicago and then probably to Washington.

We are acknowledged leaders for Percale and Flannel Shii'ts. Wanmnaker*! Work. Willimantio, Conn., March 32.—John J. Franklin, aged 55, a well known builder at South Coventry left home last Friday for New Haven, driving to Willimantic where he left the team at a stable and took a train stating that he would return the same night. It ia learned that he transacted hu business in New Haven and started for the depot but nothing has since been heard from him. He was of sober habits, and had but littlt money with hi in. It is thought that h« may be suffering from a temporary aberration of mind. He was superintending some extensive repairs and intended to hurry back. A Mjrsterloni Disappearance. Washington. March 22.—The work of receiving and filing applications for postoffices has grown to great in the past two weeks that Postmaster General Wanamaker has issued an order directing clerks in the offioe of the first assistant postmaster general to report at 8:80 a. m. and remain until 6 p. m. each day and also detailing to duty in the first assistant postmaster general's office clerk* from other bureaus until the work ii brought up to date.

Peet, Franklin Corners, Pa.; J, R, Browp, Goshen, Pa., Mrs. Elizabeth Bchrock, Stony Creek, Pa. During the debate Mr. Morley produced details from the proceedings oi the trial with a view to disproving the government's professions of neutrality between The Times and the accused. Hi predicted that a vote of censure was not far distant. Mr. Balfour declared that the chargt that the government was connected with The Times case either through Houston or Pigott was a scandalous lioeL Mr. Bradjaugh asserted so far from being impartial, the government had withheld from the accused matter* which were material to their defense. All C ur men's Shirts are made 36 inches long and warranted to tit. Young Aubery is the center of attraction wherever he goes. He is pointed out on all sides as the daring youth who ran away with the daughter of the chiei justice of the United States. He can be readily found, but his pretty bride of 17 summers is not so easily got at. The curiosity of people is nqt to her liking, and she remains for the most part concealed from the view of the public. Elegant values in Men's, Ladies' and Children's Underwear.Special lot received this week of £0 dozen Misses' Ribbed Vests, 19 cts each, value 35 cts. Similar work of destruction was going on between Georgia and Florida avenues, and from Mississippi up to Michigan. To use the words of a boardwalk fakir who lost his all: "The tide of Nov. 85 wasn't a marker to this one." To Extinguish Jersey Firebug*. Whitelaw Reid's nomination was reported back from the committee on foreign relations, and an effort was mad/3 by Senator Sherman to have him confirmed, but Senator Plumb objected, remarking that this nomination should take the same course as all others, and that one day should intervene. When it was called up again several senators on the Democratic side objected and requested that it should he over. It appears that some of the more pronounced southern leaders take exception to the lamination on account of the course of his newspaper. To what extent they will carry their opposition will be determined at a conference today. Considerable doubt of bis confirmation is expressed. The president informed several gentlemen calling in the interest of certain persons for public printer that he would fill place from the west. This in all Srobh uty means the appointment) of [r. Meredith, of Chicago, and bowls out Pennsylvania's candidate, Donath; New York's candidate, Hart, and North Carolina's choice, Nichols. The debate was continued amid greaf disorder. Messrs. Healy, O'Connor, Balfour and Haroourt delivering more 01 less heated speeches. Mr. Balfour taunted the Parnellites with letting Pigott escape after his confession. Mr. O'Conner was called to order by the speaker for charging that Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour wery trying to galvanize the forgeries into renewed life. Mr. O'Connor also alleged that The Times and the government were equally guilty of permitting Pigott to escape. Interest lust now centers in the questions asked, in the house of commons of the government regarding the suspension of Capt. Seagrave, of Mitchelstown fame. It seems that this valiant slaughterer of defenseless peasants was cashiered from the British army at the Cape of Good Hope in 1855. The Parnellites have only recently got hold of this knowledge, and have forced the government to make inquiries into the captain's record, with tne result of establishing the truth of the charge against him. This is a great Parnellite hit and they score on Mr. Balfour It will be rather embarrassing for the government to explain the appointment of Seagrave as an officer of the Irish constabulary with sqch a record. It is with great difficulty that questions are formulated so as to draw damaging admissions from the government, as the ministers, whose wits have been sharpened by frequent encounter, are ready to lay hold on the slightest technical flaw and use it to their advantage. Harrisburq, March 22.—In the senate among bills reported negatively wqs the one requiring mine owners to use thC latest scientific apparatus to detect thC Sresence of gas. The bill relating to the icorporation of Young Men's Christian associations was passed after some discussion.

J., March 22.—Prom inside information received there is every reason to believe that before the week it out the gang of incendiaries that have been operating hereabouts for the past year or two will be inside the walls oi the jail at Mt. Holly. Thousands of dollars worth of property has been destroyed by the gang, most of whom are thieves. The burnings began when one of the thieves, who was tried and sentenced for chicken stealing, served his time and was discharged. From thai time down to the present all of the farmers who were in any way connected with the prosecution, either as witnessei or otherwise, had their barns burned. Men's choice New Neckwear, 100 patterns to choose from at 15 cts each, value 25 cts. A corn doctor named Professor Jones, who owns a small shanty, was in bed when the waves struck his place and demolished it. He was thrown with stunning force among the debris and had a miraculous escape. Three families at the same time hardly succeeded in making their exit through the rear doors when their houses succumbed to the waves. All these people felt secure in the belief that as their buildings stood the storm of Nov. 25 they would pull through safely this time. Agency for the most popular Corsets in the United States. Reading, Pa., March 23.—All departments of the Reading Iron works art now idle except the Scott foundry and machine shops, where there are enough orders on hand to keep those establishments in operation day and night foi some time to come.
