DAILY TELMAPE HARRISBURG, MONDAY EVENING. FEB. 11, 1878. Republican City Executive Committee. A meeting of the Republican City Exe cy.

The Murphy men are still gathering in signers. Both branches of the Legislature meet to night. Wholesale dealers are arranging for the spring trade. The teachers in the public schools were paid to day. Councils have turned their attention to the "bell ringing" A brisk rain on Saturday night put the streets in a miserable condition.

Fourth ward Republicans rallied at the primary election on Saturday night and polled 272 votes. The City Grays will improve their armory by the addition of lambrequins and curtains to match.

Huntingdon is now rocked between the questions: "Who shall be postmaster?" and, "How shall we get rid of the small pox?" This is not a good year for circuses. Montgomery Queen has gone up with 166, 000 debts and $31,223 nominal assets. This the king circus failure. The question of "Hell" is being agitated in Harrisburg. But we thought Henry Ward Ingersoli and Col.

Robert Beecher had abolished One of the famous Smith family was in the lockup as a vagrant last In company with four other vagrants he was discharged this morning. The Counoilmenj School Directors and ward tickets uenerally nominated by the Republicans on Saturday uight are first class, and will poll a large vote. The interest taken in primary elections on Saturday night was greater than has been shown for a number of years past. The Republicans were out in full force. The calico ball of the Franklin Club, February 22d, promises to be the grandest affair of the season.

All wishing to spend a pleasant evening should not fail to attend the ball. Fat. Ryan is just the man the Democrats of the Eighth ward will bo delfghted to vote for for alderman. In addition to hi qualifications they recognize his fidelity to the party. Mr.

D. C. Burnite, who was nominated for Common Council by the Republicans of the Seventh ward, authorizes us to say that he positively declines to be a candidate for the office. Out in Ohio they are harder on traveling salesmen than in Harrisburg. They propose to make every "drummer" representing a non resident business house to take out a $50 State license.

The Democrats in the Fifth ward had a little by play all to themselves Saturday night. They practically applied the tit for tat theory by giving tap for tap, or slap for slap, or, perhaps we should say, blow for blow. Our righteous indignation is never so fully aroused as when we see a small boy deeply engaged in reading one of the flash juvenile publications printed in New York. These vile papers are working untold injury among the youth of this city For some time past Messrs. R.

Myers, of this city, and J. Hite, of Harrisburg, have been buying up horses around this city and shipping them to eastern markets. To day a car load of 18 horses was sent to Baltimore. Two additional horses were bought by them this morning. Altoona Mirror.

dropped in to see us to day. He is not urging his truths; the pressure is now off him and on the people. He will not raise the veil to night as stated this morning, but will elucidate the truth at the Court House next Monday evening, the 18th. It looks as if President Hayes and Congress are instruments in hands, he being the sole arbiter of truth. The residents of South Second street complain that gas in the sewers escapes into the cellars in the vicinity and spoils the provisions stored therein.

One citizen went to market Saturday night, and stored his purchases in his cellar. Sunday morning when his wife went into the cellar she found everything spoiled. On a previous occasion the same lady was so overcome with gas that she was compelled to call for assistance to got out of the cellar. Grease the griddle.

Minnie Davis went on a "spree" on Saturday night and cavorted about Spruce and State streets in a most unseemly manner. She howled and wanted to fight, and put on moro style than a succesful candidate at.the primaries. Officer Wm.

Cilley said "come hither, my sweet singer of State 1 M1 1 i Tiivimann r. vr. i lockup. Minnie said; it was "hard luck" and she was sent up for a hearing. Sentenced by the Court.

This morning Judge Pearson sentenced the following prisoners Harry Spahr, a young lad, convicted of receiving stolen goods, was sentenced to pay a fine of one dollar, costs of prosecution, and bo imprisoned three months in the county jail. Alfred Aikens, convicted of larceny, was sentenced to pay a fine of one dollar, costs, and bo imprisoned in the county jail for two months. Upset in The River. On Saterday aftcrnooa.tveo boys named George Hoffman and Preston King, aged about fourteen years, residing in the lower end of the city, attempted to cross to the island opposite Tuscarora street to see the, shooting match on the island. When a' short distance out the boat upset and the boys thrown into the river.

Their cries attracted tho attention of people on the bank, and in a short time Solomon Santo and another gentleman had manned a boat and wero off to the rescue of the luckless lads. In tho meantime the boys attempted to climb on tho boat, but it rolled over several times and was in great danger of sinking. They clung to the craft till help ar rived, when they were taken to tho shore and sent to their homes. Future Punishment. An immense audience crowded the First Lutheran church last night to hear Dr.

Swartz's sermou on IIcll text "The wicked shall be turned into hell with all the nations that forget God." The discourse commanded the earnest attention of the vast congregation, and tho various points were discussed in a manner that left no room to doubt that eternal punishment certainly awaits the ungodly. The truth, as it was preached, cannot be successfully contradicted. Wo regret that we have not the space to give a more extended notice of this great 6ermon. The ministers in the various denominations are awaking to the fact that the pulpit has failed to givo due prominence to the subject of Hell. There has been too much preaching of love, mercy, eternal happiness, and, as a consequence, infidelity has found Christianity comparatively asleep in regard to the great fact that "the wicked shall be turned into hell." onrans to which so large a number of the promptly be made to yield to Dr.
