Washington Letter.
{From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washinotok, D. C, July 25, 1890.
The Southern Senators deprecate boy.
cotting, bnt decline to talk about it; some
of them for instance Gorman of Maryland
and Vaooe of North Carolina, see nothing
in it but the Billy vaporings of superheated
highly excited imaginations.
Senator Vance said: "I am a Christian,
and therefor I dn not swear; bat if I were
a profane man, I shonld call it the d-st
nonsense.
We ought to oppese the Force bill by
every constitutional and legal means
within onr power. If it be passed in spite
of us, then we shonld do as the town olerk
of Ephesus did, and eounel our people to
do nothing rash." Senator Gorman was
equally free in expression. The Maryland Senator is very blunt, and allough
that manner is liable to ofleud, it usually
carries with Vt the sincerity of the speaker.
He said: "Such utterances are senseless
in the extreme. No pnblic man in Washington is in sympa hy with such a plan,
or would eocourage it for a moment.
Tlie efiect of the passage of sucb a
measure as the Lodge bill would be lad
in both sections. It is having ita efitet
already, as a resnlt of tbe mere agitation
of the question.
He said tbat several Baltimore gentlemen had called upon him, who have projected large enterprises te the South.
"They tola me," ha continued; "that tbey
would go no farther te the matter nntil
tbe Force bin bad been finally disposed of.
If the measure passes, tbey will drop tbe
afiair altogether, and similar action will
no doubt follow in scores of cases. All
talk ofa boycott, nevertheless, is foolish".
Attention is directed to the Forty
Third Congress and the attempt to pass
the Force bill wben Blaine was Speaker
of the Honse, and B. F. Butler was chair-
man of tiie Judiciary committee, which
reported the bill to the House. General
Wheeler, of Alabama, recently made a
great argument against the present bill,
and Gen. Butler wrote to him fora copy,
aa worth preserving, and received an
answer aa follows : "Upon tbe question
of the constitutional right of Congress,
involving its right to take charge of federal elections, in cases of emergency, can,
by tha TJ. S. Sta tutes and Constitution be
only this: Sec. 4, Chapter 1 : When tbe
State shall refuse or neglect to provide
forthe election of U. S. senators and rep
resentatives tbe national legislature may
appoint the representatives of the state.
Bat the times, places and manner of
holding elections for senators and representatives shall be prescribed in each
state by the legislature thereof."
It ia a notorious fact tbat a namber of
republican senators are disgusted with
the Lodge bill, and would say so, bat for
the trouble sach frankness brings. No
sooner does a senator say that he deprecates sach legislation than he is houndeal
by a lot of partisans into denying, or
modifying, his published expressions. It
has become as much as a republican senator's lifa la worth, to think aloud, contrary to the republican journals in thia
matter.
Every senator who is reported as being
lukewarm is immediately seen; and if he
does not authorize a contradiction of any
little expression that escaped him, It is
contradicted anyhow. It ia not strange
that under the circumstances senators
should, for the sake of peace, keep tbeir
views to themselves. They wiQ not,
however, be regulated or subjugated, if
ever the time comes to jump npon the
neck of the Lodge bill and choke the life
oat of it.
Harrison must have learned something
recently which caused him to think that
his chances of being re-nominated are improving ; he has authorized a statement
to be made to the effect tbat his wife did
not accept the cottage ac Cape .May Point,
because be refused to allow ber to do it;
and that he paid Ite It with 110,000 of hia
own money. The efiect of this statement
would have been greater if it had been
made sooner.
The House in obedience to the dictation of Speaker Heed, has passed the
Original Package bill, and the National
Bankruptcy bill.
Tbe   Behring Sea  correspondence has
been sent to  Congress, and the fact is apparent that Mr. Blaine has dame nothing
bat maintain the claims  of  Mr. Cleve
land's administration.

One Mere Unfortunate—The Mam Tele
graph Building*—Another
Great Dally.
New Yoiik, Jaly 28, 1S90.
The seusatiou ofthe week has been tbe
disclosure of tbe downfall and terrible
death of a cigarette girl. And, startling
as tbe details developed prove it to be, the
ca.*-e would perhaps bave never come to
light except through the accident of a de
teciive overhearing a conversation in a
horse oar. Die clew thus found was foi
lowed np and a story unraveled worthy to
rival tbe imagination of aay writer of fiction. Thai victim in the case, unmindful
of her sister's warning, lost first her honor,
then her life; and, right in the heart of thia
great city, her body was secretly taken
away in tbe dead of night and buried under
a false name, so that as far as ber friends
and the rest of the world was concerned it
was a caRe of''mysterious disappearance"
and woald forever have remained so, were
it not for tbe accident above referred to.
Not one of her acquaintances knew wbat
had become of ber until nearly two weeks
after she had been buried in an unknown
grave. It ia not my place to give details,
and, indeed, the attempt would be useless
te ao short a space. Tbe guilty ones wfll
be tried and perhaps convicted, and let as
hope the oase of thia "one more unfortunate" will be a fearful warning to all whom
it may concern.
REMODELING THE WESTEBN UNION.
The Western Union Telegraph Company,
whose main office was recently heavily
damaged by fire, has decided to remodel

Will make tiie building wben completed

the Dey street extension, and the rest of

before. Although tbe flre destroyed the
company's 8,000 instruments, together
with thousands of wires and batteries, tbe

millionaires as journalists.
Another great daily newspaper is to bo
started in New York, and this tine with
money enough to keep it going an indefinite length of time. Mr. Henry M. Flagler
is said to be the moving spirit, backed by
John R Rockefeller. Both of these gentlemen are millionaires many times over
and are well known in connection with the
Standard Oil Co. The new paper wfll be
a 2-cent morning sheet of 8 to 12 pages.
It will employ special correspondents all
oyer the country and make a specialty of
out of town news. Ita principles will be
Prohibition and clean politics. Very littie
positive information concerning tbe new
enterprise can be obtained, but it is under-
s ood a full staff has been engaged and
fiat the paper Wfll appear about September lat. Its name may be "The Nation."

a section twenty rods wide. One hundred buildings were wrecked by the
storm. Three bnndred people, all otf
small means, are homeless, and tha
damage is placed at $100,000. Nine people were killed and seventy-five injured. At the time of the storm tha
wind was east, the rain was falling
heavily, when suddenly the heavens
became aglow with a bright white
light, almost dazzing in ita effects. Ia
a momeat the wind veered directly to
the west. Heavy blaok clouds shot
from behiad the western hills, high
into the sky for a moment, and then
tha thiok mass parted. Down flew
black streaks from the murky mass,
and in a moment the crash came. Buildings were crushed like eggshills, whole
houses were lifted from their foundations and terror seized the inhabitants.
Communication with the outside waa
entirely out off. Tha immense telegraph poles were snapped lika pipe
stems, and tha wires, which were
whirled into a oloud of tangled skeins,
aettled down in a confused heap of
junk.
i» spreaaing. Another battalion has
joined the insurgents. The navy remains neutral. The revolutionists are
oammanded by Generals Campos and
Arredentio. They bave seized the arsenal barracks and and the Plaze La-
velle. The street conflicts on Saturday
were adverse to the Government. The
losses on both sides were heavy. Many
buildings were destroyed. The populace uphold the revolution, whioh has
now reached the provinces. Senor
PeUlgrlni, the vice-President, has assumed the Presidency. The artillery,
joined by some citizens, took the first
step to overthrow the Government.
Tbe troops and the police parleyed.
Firing was opened at Palermo and soon
extended to the Plaza Lavelle. The
infantry and artillery, with mitrailleuses, kept up a heavy firing all the
morning. The police fired at and dispersed the orowd around the Government House, but the people kept firing
from the houses. A policeman in mere
wantonnessjsplit the head of s& Englishman open with his sabre and a bystander shot down the'polieeman. Two
attacks were made by the Government
troops on citizen soldiers, but were repulsed both times, aad policemen and
artillerymen laid te heaps on the
streets. The Minister of War has been
killed and the Chief of Polioe is wounded.

CONVICTS LEAP FOR LIBERTY.
Desperate but Cnsnccestsfnl Attempt of
Jail Birds to Escape.
Hew York, July 24.—A desperate but
unsuccessful attempt to escape waa made
last evening by two convicts in the Mingo
County Peniteniaiary on Crow Hill. They
were James Thompson, alias Tobin, who
had completed fonr months of his five year
term for burglary, and Edward Smitb,
wh6 had served six months of his five year
and seven months term for a similar offense.
They had been employed with a gang of
otber prisoners in contract work te the old
workshop alongside the north wall. When
Keeper Nicholas Jones was marching the
gang from the shop to the cook house he
noticed that there were two men missing
from the ranks. Keeper James Schollard
got around to the Nostrand avenue side
just in time to see both of the convicts appear ab the edge of the workshop roof, 40
feet high, and drop into the ten foot trench
alongside tbe wall, a perilous plunge of
50 feet. Thompson tried to slide down
the wall, bnt his companion braced himself and came dowa with a jump.
Schollard and other keepers hurried to
the spot with drawn revolvers. They
found both men badly disabled. Thompson was vainly trying to climb ont of the
trench, but his companion was lying on
his back groaning with pate.
It was fouad that in addition to shock
and internal injuries each had sustained
fractures of both ankle* They were oar.
ried back to tbe prison, and within fifteen
miuutea after their disappearance waa
discovered were under the surgeon's care
in the prison hospital.
ARRESTFaD OM A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Henry IsBaer Held aa One ot tbe Hen

Pottsville, Jaly 24.—Detective Geo.
Wagner, of Beading, came up this morning on the early train and, in company
witb Constable Ziegter, went to the lockup and indentilied Henry Lauer as one
of a party of three, who on the 19th of
Jaly enticed John Culbert from tbe Lafayette Hotel, te Reatflng,under the pretense
of showing him a valuable horse, drugged
him -and robbed him of a gold watch
valued at $125 and several hundred dollars.
After taking everything from bim they
left him lying on a lot ia the outskirts of
the eity, -where he was found asleep in the
morning and chilled through. He was
taken to tiie hotel and medical assistance
was called in. After three be was brought
to consciousness.
Lauer and Joe Miller, another of the
gang, went to Lebanon and thence to
Harrisburg. Yesi^sday a letter from
Detective Wagner was received |by Con
stable Ziegler requesting bim to be on the
lookout for tbe party. Last sight Ziegler
spotted bis man oa the street and arrested
bim. When confronted by tbe detective
tbis morning, Lauer acknowledged having pawned the watch but said be knew
nothing abont the money, nor did he
knov- the watch was stolen when he pawned it.
Lauer is well-known ia Tremont, having deserted his wife and two children
living there two years ago.
Deafness Cant be Cared
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. Tbere is
only one way to oure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When tbis tube gets inflamed you bave a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
wben it hi entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken oat and this tube restored to ita
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of tea are caused
by catarrb, which ia notbing-but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We wiB give One Hundred Dollars for

To Ihe Farmers of Pennsylvania:
The changed conditions by which we
are surrounded require upon onr part
special efforts and new methods to protect
and maintain the intrests of our buisness
—in dompetition with the energetic
management that we see every clay by
men engaged in every other calling.
All other iudustries are controlled and
their welfare protected by organization
—by the concentration of the influence
of all interested for their specific objects.
Tbe great success that has been gained
by Trusts, Syndicates, Corporations and
Stock Companies not only proves tbe
great power of organized effort but also
points out the way for farmers to meet
successfully the depressed condition in
tbeir own buisness.
Over burdened wstb an unjust propatr-
tion of taxes; our products nearly depressed In value by competition with unlawful counterfeits and adulterations—fieir
ia no help for us, bot to help ourselves.
Ta organize and as one man demand
that these wrongs shall righted. To de
mand that the burdens of the government
shall be borne alike by all clases of prop?
erty.
We have tke power through our votes—
let us concentrate them and succeed.
Ef tte welfare of your family and yourself is wbat yon most desire, if tfae credit
and honor of yoar chosen calling is
worth the effort wiQ yoa wiQ us yoar influence and active support.
Many farmers of Pennsylvania who
have thoroughly investigated the principals and methods of all the different far
mers associations, (while all aim to secure the same object.) bave selected the
League as the one best salted to their
consertive ideas. The prencipals of the
League, are such that any man who is
interested in agriculture can consistautly
work with it, withoat doing violence to
his feelings as a member of any church,
political party, or other associations having for tta object the good of honest
workers everywhere- Many of the leading men ia the League are aad have been
for years, active and efficient members
in the Grange and tbe zeal and knowledge acauired in the Grange make them
that much more useful in the League.
Sach men recognize the younger association as a useful ally rather than as a
rival.
Full instructions, with blank applicr-
tions for charters wiQ be furnished
promptry from this office to all appli-

Bnt the Leage goes a step further,
Its object ia the farmers political welfare. The work of the League is directed
toward securing a just representation and
treatment of the agricultural intrests in
Congress aud in the Legislature, and due
recognition of farmers in all public affairs,
without conflicting with tbe best intrests
of the people. It consists of a National
League and of Sta' Leagues, with County
and Township Leagues. Tbs National
League has general suqervision of tbe
affairs of tbe Farmers' League and tbe
work of organization, and attends specially
to the farmers' interests in Congress.
The State Leagues, as soon as organized
push the work of organization in their respective States, and attend to tiie farmers'

Encampment Notes.
The Soldiers' encampment is over.
Most of the guarcls have gone home, and
the people of Lebanon consequently feel
greatly relieved. It cannot be denied
but that many ef tbe "brave" soldier
boys are a disgrace to the uniform they
wear, and their ruffianly and disgraceful
conduct on the streets of this city and in
Mt. Gretna park should debar them
from ever playing soldier again. An
officer of high rank was hea^d to say at
Mt. Gretna station that the men could
not be controlled. Pretty men—and
pretty officers— indeed. President Harrison proved a big drawing card at the
encampment om Thursday.
Governor Beaver promoted Brigadier
General Snowden to the command of the
National Guard, and Col. Dcchert to
the position of Brigadier General.
On Thursday the final issue of rations
was made, and Colonel Patton gave
these figures of the food consumed:
Potatoes, 60,148 pounds; fresh beef, 38,-
100 pounds; fresh bread, 38,100 pounds;
ham, 17,645 pounds; hard lack, 17,015
pounds; salt beef, 9,539 pounds; beans,
6,513 pounds; sugar, 8,799 pounds; coffee,
5,896 pounds; onions, 5,002 pounds; salt,
8,196 pounds; pepper, 14fti pounds; vinegar, 3 barrels; soap, 1,524 pounds;
candles, 7331 pounds. Tbe total cost of
the rations for tbe men is about $12,000
or 20 cents per man per day. Ia addition to the above rations for the men it
took '50,000 pounds of oats and 56,000
pounds of hay to feed the horses attached to the division.
Accidents.
Last Thursday evening while Morris
Horst and Harry Gebhard, of Cornwall,
were playing with their revolvers, the
former's accidentally discharged, inflicting a painful wound in tbe latter's leg.
On Saturday evening while Mr. Abram
Shenk, of Scbaefferstown, was mowing
oats with a reaper, he stepped on the
tongue to see whether the horses were
wet with sweat. When liis hand touched
one of the borses the horse kicked him so
that Mr. S. fell helpless on the platform.
His painful ery was heard tor a mile.
Upon hearing him the neighbors burried
thither to see what was the matter. They
found the poor man with his leg kicked
off. At this writing the doctors think
the wound may necessitate amputations
Satuiday afternoon Harry Gamble, an
employe at Light's rollin/ mill, bad his
left hand severely mashed, necessitating
the amputation of the thumb. Dr. A.
B. Gloninger attended to his injuries.
BASE BALL.
Tbe last game of the Interstate League
was played on Saturday afternoon by
the York and Lebanon clubs. The first
game was won by Lebanon, 6 to 2, and
the second by York, 5 to 1.

The stylishly and artistically finished
iron fence in front of the Zion's Luther*
an and Reformed Church, extending
along the Jonestown and llarrisburg
public road, four hundred feet in length,
and four feet higb, is now doubly ornamented by tbe addition of a tri-colored
coat of paint. This splendid fence has
been procured and erecte 1 through tie
liberality of the Messrs. Jacob Uhrich,
Ohmacht and other influential and
wealthy members of tbe Zion's churcb.
To enable one to appreciate the elegance

An accident occurred on the Lebanon
Valley railroad, at tiie Ninth street
crossing, Saturday morning, wbicb came
nigh killing two little girls, Carrie M.
Yingst, aged about six years, and another
little girl named Kase, who had come
from their homes on North Tenth street.
Wben about to cross the track of the
P. & R. road a freight train passed up
on the north side track, when they waited
until it had passed, and then proceeded
to pass over the crossing, oot knowing
tbat the passenger train due here at 8:49
was rapidly approaching on tbe south
bound track. They had got on to the
track when the Kase girl saw the engine,
which was close upon them, and ran
back, but Carrie wavered, and before sbe
could recover herself tbe engine struck
ber, throwing ber into the air. Watchman Matthew Bowman, seeing tbe danger the girl was in, rushed forward to
rescue her, but was too late and only
received tbe full weight of her body on
bis breast as she was hurled through the
air. It knocked him te the ground, and
in the fall be struck his head on a stone,
knocking a large bole in it. They were
taken into the bouse of Mr. Samuel
Light where their injuries were attended
to by Drs. Peterman and Strickler, wbo
on examination discovered that Carrie's
left leg was broken below the knee, her
hand injured, and tbat a hole had been
knocked in her head. The child is a
daughter of Mr. Josiah Yingst, baker,
No. 334 North Tenth street. Her escape
from instant death was miraculous. Although badly hart it was thought she
wonld recover il her nervous system
could withstand the shock it had received, but this was not to be, and Monday noon she breathed her last, «ithout
having regained consciousness.

Our Own Law Judge.
Tbe census returns show that Lebanon
county bas over 40,000 population, and,
according to an act of Assembly, is now
entitled to elect itsown law judge. Heretofore it has been attached to Dauphin
county la this matter, the two electing a
judge for each; and Dauphin, being the
larger and stronger, didn't hesitate to
gobble both judges, although one was re-
quired to take up his residence here. The
fact of Lebanon becoming a separate
district will probably be alike satisfactory
to both Lebanon and Dauphin.
