Washington Letter.
{Regular Correspondence.')
Washington, March 6, 1891.
The United States Treasury is bankrupt
aa for as the teckless and extravagant appropriations voted by tbe Republican Congress can make it so, and it would be actually ea to-day if all tbe appropriations
bad to be 'paid at once. Ia ths dying
hours of the Fifty-first Congress tbo Ro
publicans throw prudence, conscience,
fear ot a hereafter and every other restraining iufluence overboard, aod boldly
voted for every possible thing tbat promised to assist in the lootiDg of tho Treas
ury, which their leaders bad agreed upou
for ibe purpose of confronting the, Democratic Congress with a deficiency. Old
mouldy claims tbat bad been refused
a hundred times were tacked on tbe appropriation bills and railroaded throngh,
oatca salaries were voted to. employees,
who are already paid beyond their deserts,
aod money was scattered around in* every
direction as though the Treasury was
overflowing with a surplus, as it was two
years wheu turned over to the Republicans.
Where tbe money ia to come from to
pay all of tbese Wild appropriations is
more tban any one cao see at tbis time ;
it isn't ia the Treasury nor can it possibly
get there under the present methods of
taxation. Two years of Democratic eoonomy in the House and a purging of foe
peusioa rolls of tbe frauds thereon may
pall tbe oountry through without making
it necessary to put new i taxes upon tbe
already tariff ridden people.
The^Hepublioan ex-Representatives are
loath to leave Washington until Mr. Harrison has disti ibuted tbe plums now at
his disposal, wbicb includes nine new U
8. circuit court judges as provided by tho
new law, which purpoits to be for the
relief of the Supreme Court, bat Mr. Har-
ri nn proposes to try their patience, as he

wben every Democrat ia tbe House' voted

Mr. McKinley, after vainly trying to persuade a Democrat to do it, had offered.
Served him right is the verdict among
Democrats.
Senator Vilas is here looking just as
natural as wbeu he so successfully presided over the Interior department under
Mr. Cleveland. He says that Wisconsin
has cut loose from tbe Republican party
for good aud all, and that ber vote may
be confidently counted upon for the Democratic candidate next year.
It is pleasing to kuow that the Fifty-
first Cougiess did one good tbing. It
passed the lateraational copy-right bill,
although it was apparently done nnder a
misunderstanding, and Mr. Harrison sigu-
ea it with a quill pea, .from, tbe wing of
an American eagle, whieh bad been provided for tbe occasion by one of the editors of tbe Century magazine.
Senator Edmunds is entitled to thanks
for having balked Senator Plumb's scheme
for transferiiug the employes of the Census bureau to tbe regular classified departmental service, without tha formality of a
civil service exau.iuatiou. Mr. Plumb attempted to hitch it on to au appropriation
bill, tot Mr. Edmunds raised a point ol
Older agaiust it, whicb was sustained by
tbe cbair.
And while giving tbauks I most not for
Ket the democrats in the House, who with
tbe aid of a few republicans jumped upon
tho Pacific cable sabsidy "job", after it
bad been agreed to by a coulerence com-
mittee, and strangled tbe life from it.
The demoeratie' Senators also deserve
well for the smaituess they displayed in
preventing the mail subsidy bill from be
ing sent to a conterence committee, whicb
woold sorely have incorporated the tonnage sub i-J) bill in it. It is mucb better
to accept the least of two evils tban to
bave to take them both.
Senator lagall* made a very "small"
use of bis last official hour. He dismissed
tbe clerk of tbe committee of wbieb he
was cbairman and appointed his soo, Paul
Iugalls, elerk to tbe committee. Tho object lies in the faet tbat the clerk draws
bis salary during the recess, but does no
work. Senator Woleott et once employed
tbe dismissed cleik as his private secretary.
Theie were some disgraceful scenes at

and Joe Rothgaber—found themselves in
front of a small frame house about three
miles and a half northwest of Palmyra.
Tbis rural and unpretentious little building is known as lock tender's house No.
27, of the now abandoned Union Canal,
and is at present occupied by Mr. and
Mra. Brown, an aged couple. Tbe brothers stepped to tbe entrance of the whitewashed dwelling and loudly rapped.—
Their summons was immediately answered by one of the inmates, who upon
opening the door was aake/l by one of the
men if they could be given shelter tor
the night, as the weather was extremely
cold and tbey were very tired. Tbey
were kindly admitted, and after entering
the room and securing seats near the*
stove, Mr. Brown made inquiry as to
who they were, whence they had come
and whither they were going. Tbe boys
inlormed the old gentleman that they
had been implicated in a fight which bad
taken place in Lebanon, and to avoid arrest they were compelled to flee the city.
Living far from any railroad station and
in a section traversed by few, especially
at this season of tbe year, the intelligence
that four desperadoes had escaped from
jail had not yet reached that little country home bordering on tbe banks of tbe
once "raging canawl." Aftei some time
had elapsed and the old lady of the bouse
thought tbe boys were thoroughly warm,
she told tbem that they must resume
tbeir journey, as sbe would be unable to
keep them, bnt tbey presented ber with
a dollar aDd pleaded so earnestly that the
good lady relented and finally consented
to let them remain, with tbe understanding tbat they be off in tbe morning.—
After conversing for some time the honr
foe retiring arrived and John and Joe
Rothgaber were directed to one of the
small compartments, where tbey slept
during tbe night, with nothing to disturb tbeir slumbers, imt even the sound
of the boatman's bora, whose' thrill
blasts in tbe long ago reverberated in tbe
vicinity and awakened from peaceful
dreams so many of tfae inmates of that
same bouse as the boat was nearing the
lock.
Upon arising ia tbe morning tbe escaped prisoners partook of breakfast, after which tbey wero in no hurry, and
stated that the weather was too bad and
tbey desired to remain a day or two
longer. Having business to'transact ia
Palmyra, yesterday, Mr. Brown Ieh toe
old lady and boys and started for the
town. Arriving in Palmyra he entered
one of tfae stores, where be incidentally
remarked to those who had eobgregated
tbere, tbat two strangers bad come to his
house and remained over nigbt, and tbat
tbey intended spending this night (Tuesday) at his place also. He gave a dis-
cription of tfae men and stated what tbey
bad told him. His discription. tallied
with that published of tbe Itothgabeis.
Tbe intelligence was at once wired to
tbis city and County Detective Satta-
sobn. Officers Ringler, Lingle and Den*
took tbe 5:15 train for Palmyra. Upon
arriving in that town tbey were joined
by a number of citizen j, wbo acted as
guides, and after traveling over hill and
dale for three miles and a half they were
shown the bouse in which the Rothgabers
were concealed. The bouse was at once
entered by tbe officers, Ringlet in the
van. In the room they discovered the
prisoners tbey were after—Joe was seated on a cbair. While John was perfectly
contented witb the soft side of an old-
fashioned woodchest back of tbe stove.
Tbey were both coatiess. The officers
covered tbem with their revolvers, when
they cried, "Dont shoot," and seeing
that resistance was useless and that discretion was the. better part of valor, they
immediately surrendered. Tbey put on
their coats, after which they were manacled and taken to Palmyra.
The news that, tta Rothgabers bad
beeu captured soon spread through the
city, and by 8:1% o'clock last eveuing
several hundred people had congregated
at the depot awaiting tbe arrival of the
9:03 train. After waiting for some time
a number in the large crowd espied tbe
headlight of the engine la tbe distance,
and the cry, "She's coming," went up,
and all was commotion and excitement.
Soon tbe ponderous iton-horse steamed
into tbe depot and by the time the train
came to a standstill it was surrounded
by one mass of humanity.
From the first oar stepped tbe four
guardians of tbe peace, and wtth them,
sure enough, were tfae Rothgabers. On
seeing tfae bustliug, pushing crowd, John
remarked, -'Look at tbem; I'll be d	
if theold ones ain't as bad as tlie youug."
Tfae line of mareh to Um place they had
but recently so unceremonious left, waa
tben commenced.
While pass;ng up Eighth  street toe
advance  guard of  this -'novel  procession" at intervals shouted, "the Rothgabers ate coming I" which had the effect of bringing tfae people to the doors
and windows to see these bold; bad men.
Upon approaching the Keystone  House
tfae prisoners informed the officers tbat
they stood in need of some kind of stimulant, and they were taken into tbe place
and supplied witb somethingfoi jbe '•inner man."   Locust street is passed, and
tb* lights of the jaiI, like a beacon, are
plainly visible in i be distance.   Joe Rothgaber beholds the shimtnerihg rtly§ reflected on tbe snow-clad1, surroundings
and shouts, "Well sleep*In the warra,
anyhow-, to-uight!"   Wttett the jail was
reached tbe Sheriff was in readiness to
give his runaway's a c hdial reception, he
having been told of their coming by several boys, wbo, upon seeing them alight
foam the cart, made for the prison  with
all possible speed.   The fugitives were
placed in tbe same corridors they occupied   previous to their   departure, but
tiir-if cells do not, bear the sarnie numbers.
Tbe prisoners state t hat after they bad
stepped out into tfae night air from the
prison,-tbey separated—Schell and Becker going soutb and the Rothgabers north
en Eighth street, until they - reached the
gate between D. M. Karmany's house
and barn, when they struck west acioss
tbe fields and the peach orchard of Mr.
Jeremiah E. Daugherty,   emerging on
toe Campbellstown road near Thoma*.
Ruth's house.   They followed that row!
west until tbey reached  tbe   Fontani
road, which they traveled some distance
until they came to Mr. John Bach man's
Bill where ttey entered tbe barn and
spent the night.   Tbe next morning tbey
struck toward Annville, keeping to the
South of it, but still going westward until they had made a half circuit of the
town, when they struck iu tbe direction
of Palmyra, ana then northward until
tbey reached the place they were found.
TUE1R PERSONS SEARCHED.

Rothgaber expressed himself as wing

bad been assured tfaat the Sheriff would
cot prosecute him for tbe terrible assault
be made on him he would bave returned
of his own volition, but few people place
poor Bill West and is unable to state
who did. If prosecutions are to follow
it it quite natural for Rotbgaber to deny
these terrible assaults. * Sheriff Miller,
who felt the blow, does not take kindly
to tbis statement of Rothgaber, but on
tbe contrary, is firmly convinced in bit
mind tbat the lock was used, and is borne
ont to bis opinion by tbe fact that blood
was fouud on the lock which had been
thrown away.
Fugitives Brought Back.
Constable Hunter, on Tuesday of last
week, paid a visit tb the vicinity where
the family of Jacob Schell resides near
tbe Union Water Works, bat foiled in
locating either Schell or Becker, but
from information received yesterday he
.was convinced tbat another visit would
result in their capture.
Aicompaniel by J. M Khali Funck,
Esq., the locality was agaia- visited, and,
after searching the'different abodes of
Schell, he finally located bim in his home.
Schell,-upou being confronted by Con-
stabl i Hunter, point d a revolver at him,
and said, "St '■p no further," bnt Constable Iluntir filed a shot, advance!,
and aft n* a struggle secured both Schell
and B^ckir. The latter also msdeaa
attempt to resist, but, beid} covered by
the Const .ble, he also yielded and was
secured.
They we.e ai once ba ideuffed, take.i
to Maulfair's Btore, at the Union Wate
Works, where a team ;was secus*ed. and
brought to toit oity, arriving bere at
6:30 o'clock last e\e*iing. The,* were
at once taken to the county jail, where
Sheriff Miller, in a state of excitement
met tbe last of the escaped prisoners,
and placed Becker in Corridor No. 1, and
Schell in Corridor No. 2.
Becker had nothing to say as to his
[•art in the .gse ipe, but Schell, when conducted to corridor No. 2, said: "Sheriff,
i never struck you," and said, "I would
not have escaped if it had not been for
the others."
Becker, when changing his clothing,
displayed no mouey, bat Schell had 13.75,
which was taken in charge by Sheriff
Miller.

tion from the earnings with wbioh they
intend to return to tbeir own country and
live in comparative affluence for the net
of their lives. It it asking too muoh of
American workingmen, whose wages have
been reduced by the competition of these
unnaturalized foreigners, that they shall
help to pay poor tar for tim benefit of
Buns and Dagos who are entirely exempt.
' Tbe reasoning of the Press is completely
"at fault when it says: "it is trne that
"many of tbem become a public charge, but
"these could not pay the tax, anyway, and
"it It unjust because of tbese to tax others
"who rupport themselves and whose single
" disqualification is that they bave not
"been here long enough to be naturalized."
It ia not tbe purpose otf the bill ta punish
these people for being foreigners; bat they
tre liable at any time to become publio
charges, and it is proposed that while they
are in health and making wagea a small
part of their earnings shall be set aside, in
the way of a poor tax, for their tnpport
when they are tick and disabled. The
benefit is so directly personal that the
equity of the provision can not be question-
ad.
Tbe Press thinks that "a grave objection
" to the measure is that it would prompt
"every one of these people to apply for
"citizenship and suffrage as soon as the law
"allows, when without this money indnce-
"ment they might never intrude themselves
"into the company ofuninstrnoted and unfit
"voters." *___*-
This quibble impeaches the purpose of
our naturalization laws whioh enable these
people to become citizens, but with wbich
the law that proposes to impose a poor tax
on tbem has no relation whatever. Tba
fact to be met is the injustice of making
the citizens support these people under
certain conditions, without theu contributing a dollar ior their own benefit. The
bill intends to remedy this injustice, and
in tbe effect ahonld ba to drive them into
naturalization that is something else, for
which tbe naturalization laws are responsible. But it isn't likely tbat |3 wonld
have that effect.
Isaac Lebo's Suicide.
Be Hung Himself to a Cherry Tree.
Isaac Lebo, a well known farmer, tiring about four miles northeast of My-
erstown, committed suicide by hanging
between 2 and 5 o'clock Monday morning of last week. The body was found
shortly after 5 o'clock by his son, Adam.
Lebo used a hitching strap to hang himself. It was fastened to the limb of a
cherry tree, 200 yards from the house.—
The dead man's shoe tips touched tbe
ground.
Mr. Leto retired for the night between
9 and 10 o'clock Sunday evening. Ha
was cheerful and apparently in the best
of health. He did not intimate tbat he
had trouble' of any kind, and no cause
can be assigned for bis rash deed. His
wife did not know that be had left bed
until tbe usual hour of arising. Deceased was over 65 years of age, had a flue
farm of over 100 acres, and waa a resident of that section for a number of
years, Ue was a member of the Lath-
etan church, and had a large circle of
friends. Some aM of the opinion that
Mr; .Lebo had financial troubles, but
others do not believe this. His widow,
ope son and fonr daughters, survive.
Mr. Leto waa well known, and on
Saturday morning was iu Donges Bros,
store making purchase. He met several
of his acquaintances there, chatted with
them and appeared aa pleasant as a man
could possible be. Tbe cause of his committing tbe»*ash aot is not -known.

Misapprehension ef a Just  and

From the BeUeJanie Watchnvan.
The Philadelphia Press shows a remarkable misapprehension of the reason fo.*
and objeot of the bill now before the Legislature designed ta impose a tax on unnaturalized foreigners, when it tays,:
"Amoug the absurd bills introduced In-
"to the present Legislature is one propo>
"ing to levy a $3 head tax. aa every uh-
"naturalued citizen ia- the State. The
"measure is conceived in a spirit of hoa>
"tilUy to the foreigners In the mining re-
"gions.v an element tbat could well be
"spared, but beiug here should ba taxed
"no more nor less than otber workmen
• 'similarly situated.''
Nothing oould be more absurd than the
idea tbat this bill is conceived* in a spirij.
of hostility to the foreigners in the mining
or any other region. It hat no other oo-
ieot tban to relieve in some measure the
burden of the citizens wbo tre compelled
to take oare of and provide for these unnaturalized foreigners when, through sickness or accident, they become public
charges,
Tue Press is evidently ignoraot of the
■situation in dist riots where tbese people
ara largely employed. Take a mining
district, for example, or one ia which iron
works em.p'.oy a large namber of Hungarians or otber foreigners of tbat class. A
better example tban Spring township, in
this county, eonld not be found. There
isn't a day tbat some of tbem are not injured or become sick. Tha dauger aad
exposure incident to their work, in addition to tbeir filthy habits, render casualties and illness inevitable and the consequence ia that they become township
charges. The care and maintenance of
them under these circumstances are tbe
cause of the heaviest township expense,
whieh must be borne by tba tax payers
who have no interest whatever in their
employment and to whom their presence
is generally a nuisance. It it to relieve
these tax payers to some extent that this
bill proposes to compel tl^e&e unnaturalized foreigners, to, contribute something
towaid the poor bind liy which they ara
benefited. Is theie anything upjust in
this? Is tbere anything oppressive? Does
it propose to take from these foreigners
anything for which tbey do not get a return? If it were inteaded to make tbem
assist in paying the expenses of state and
a&pvtntyi ia the government of which they
do not participate as voters, it would bs a
different thing. That would be unjustifiable. Sut wbtn they rroeive a direot,
immediate and personal bonefit, at they
do from the poor fund ia eases of sickness
aud accident, whioh is of constant oeour-
renoe where large numbers ara employed,
Justice and equity unite in a law that
would include tbem among the contributors to tbat fund, Thev are surely able to

THE REAM'S IS HOW THE ROYAL
BOUTE.
It has become a widely prevalent practice among railway companies to bestow
upon their respective lines brief and catchy
"trade mark" titles, in order to designate
them more concisely than by their corporate names, at well at to impress their
individuality, so to speak, upon the minds
of tbe traveling public
Some of tbe niok-names are more strikingly unique than euphonious. For example, there is a "Kankakee Line," a
."Choctaw Line," and a "Soo Line."—
There's a "Wayoross Route" and a "Bluff
lane," a "Tarpon Route" and a "Fishing
Line." Contrary to what might be expected the last two named do not oonnect,
ono being located ia Florida and the other
in Wisconsin. A list of all the trade mark
titles in use by railways woald be highly
interesting as well as amusing.
And now the old reliable Reading Railroad, onoe to conservative, bat for the
past few years so aggressively progressive,
bas adopted—or, to be mora exact, hat
bad thrust upon Ur— a title that is* particularly appropriate, "The Royal Route."
Everybody who has traveled on tbe splendid lines operated by tbe Reading between
Philadelphia and New Tork and between
Philadelphia and Atlantic City, will eon-
cede that the name it trail applied and
unquestionably well deserved.
Just how it was acquired it not known
with certainty. Some enthusiastic seashore pilgrim, pleased with tbe magnificent cars and phenomenal speed of the
Reading's famous "Flyers," which make
the run between Philadelphia and Atlantic City ia 75 minutes, dubbed tbat line
the "Royal Route to tht Sea." This is
certainly the model seashore railway of
America. It is double tracked aew itt
entire length, being'tbe only-double-track
road to Atlantic City, and its rails of steel
run in an almost curveless line from the
Delaware to tbe sea. Its locomotives,
bnilt fbr this special service, are reokoned
among the fleetest and most powerful in \
.the world and, like all the Reading's en-
gines, they btva oaly clean anthracite
coal, obviating those twin terrors of travel,
soft ooal smoke and cinders. Tbe oars
are not only beautiful in finish and decoration, bat they are uncommonly roomy
and comfortable, and are furnished witb
all approved modern appliances and conveniences. Regardless of tha charms of
the City by the Sea at Mi farther end, it is
worth a trip over this line to realize to
What perfection seashore travel haa been
brought.
Another of tbe Reading's routes whioh
has won a celebrity that extends even beyond the borders of the Union it the
"Royal Blue Line," between New York,
Philadelphia and Washington. Thia line
is composed of portions of the New Jersey
Centra), Reading and B. & O. roads, and
is claimed to be the best constructed and
mostly completely eqnipped through line
ia America. It receives its name from the
oolor of tbe cars,' a rich deep blue, aad
they are further distinguished by bearing
on their tides, bl gold, representations of
the coats-of arms of the several states
through wbioh the line passes. Tbese
oars, by tbe way, are unlike any others ;
they resemble drawing room cars and are

scion of the "effete monarchies" of Europe
ean travel so rapidly tte do tha hundreds
of passengers who are daily carried be

Here, where every oitlaen is a sovereign

the luxuries of travel which are accessible
only to royalty in other lands are rapidly
being placed within the reach of everybody ; aad it is its bold and vigorous advance ia this direction that fairly entitles

Miller's Eagle Shoe Store.
J. H. Miller, the popular and leading
Boot and Shoe Merohant of our oity, is so
well and favorably known to oor community that comments aie scarcely necessary.
His large experience and successful business career places him ahead of all his
competitors. He has earned an enviable
reputation for good goods, low prices and
honest dealing.
One point that is not generally known
by the publio le tbat his store is connected
with several shoe factories, wbere nearly
all bis shoes are made, whiob gives < him
greater advantages than formerly, which
enables him to sell shoes oheaper, or give
you better shoes for tho same prioe, than
auy other dealer in the county. Odds and
ends of their own make are always closed
out at cost. If good shoes and low prices
are any inducement, you will deal at Miller's Eagle Shoe Stobe, 8*10 Cumberland street.
