Pine Street Presbyterian Church to be Frescoed This Hammer, Decided improvements will be made in tbe interior of the Pine Street Presbyterian church this summer, and the work will be commenced about the first of August. Probably tbe most attractive change will be the frescoing of the church in the most beautiful style.

Another desirable improvement will be the introduction of a powerful new pipe organ, which has been purchased. It will be placed in the present organ loft, but it will stand out more prominently and in full view of the congregation. The members ol tbe choir will sit in front and to the side of the organ, and will more nearly lace the congregation. Other improvements are also contemplated, and when the changes are completed there will not be a handsomer edifice anywhere. Lodge Officers Installed.

Then he chirped to the old mare and the animal let out a reef, which was answered by a burst of speed from the bang tailed: animals, which shot them ahead.

Again did the poor out nonest reporter cmrp to his steed and the old mare let out a couple of reefs, went whizzing along and left the double team as if standing, the occupants of the double wagon eating dust.

O. Of O. F. How a Steeple Climber Escaped. Cincinnati Enquirer.

One of the noted characters of Cincin nati, the "steeple climber," died Thurs day night at his home, No. 79 Blank street. His name in full was Joseph Rodriguez Weston, and nearly thirty years he has been climbing steeples in this city. No point was too high and dizzy for him to reach and maintain his steady foothold, ut late years he would undertake only those diffiicult feats that ap palled others. It was his pardonable boast that he could go as high or higher than any other man.

There are many stories of his hazardous exploits in this city. The most notable, probably, was the draping of the cathedral spire on the night following Archbishop rurceii death. On the ground below were three or four thousand people eagerly watching for a glance at the daring man as the lightning flashes revealed him on the dizzy height. Weston, when only 12 years of age, had placed the tip on the same steeple. Another feat that was talked about at the time was on the night of July 8th, 1876.

Weston climbed to the spire of the Pres byterian church, on Fourth street, the tallest in the city, and nailed fast the stars and stripes, two hundred and eighty five feet from the ground. It was on this occasion that he had a narrow escape. Weston had obtained from Michie. the jeweler, a heavy gold chain, the links of which were all solid. His chain, when he was falling, held him for a brief moment, during which tbe climber sues ceeded in regaining his hold.

Poison in tbe Perambulator. The Britiih MedicalJournal says that a number of babies have been poisoned by sucking the green straps of the perambulators. An analytical examination of the straps showed the presence of enough arsenic in them to kill an adult. It is hard to believe that manufacturers could be guilty of such criminal folly as to place a deably poison in the reach of infants. If there are any green straps on baby carriages in this country, mothers will do well to take them off at once.

Women in tbe World of Fiction. Women are well represented in the world of fiction of the present day, the works of many of them being of such a character as shall live after them. Among these way bo mentioned Miss Jewett, Miss Warner, Miss A. D. T.

Whitney, Miss Murfree (Charles Egbert Cradock), Miss Blanche Willis Howard, Margaret Sidney, Mrs. Amelia Barr. Miss Phelps, Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, Marion Harland, Maud Howe, Rebecca Harding Davis, Christian Ried and a multitude of others quite as worthy. And the list of writers of short stories Is no less long and brilliant.

Altogether, women have great reason to be proud of the sex and of the sisterhood of American authors. Recent Happenings Briefly Chronicled, The farmers of Franklin county will average about half a crop of wheat. Mrs. Sullivan, mother in 4aw ot ex State Senator Weekly, is lying very ill at her home in Carlisle.

Valley Spirit. Chambersburg had a brave woman whose identity has never been lost. When the Southern troops were burning Chambersburg, Miss Lou Brand, a sister of Mr. Jacob S. Brand, of Philadelphia avenue, wrapped about her a large United States flag and standing on the front steps of their residence on East Queen street, the house now belong ing to and occupied by Mr.

Daniel Gilbert, just west of the Franklin House, defied tbe invading soldiers to barm her or to burn her home. She suffered no injury and the dwelling was saved, although other buildings in the neighbor hood were burned. The Boldiers respected her patriotism and her belief that her flag wrapped about her would save her. Miss Brand died some years ago, but the flag that she made historic and which had belonged to a Union company is yet preserved by Mrs. A.

The se nora of Barcelona loves in the evening to wrap her black crepe around her head and while gently puffing her long tobaccoJ i i 1 cilo, casvi ntsHrii tunning glances from her balcony above the walks at the wights below. While the German frau is fond of her cigarette, or even cigar, and the Russian wife is not behind her in her enjoyment of the weed, and even the Japanese, Chinese, Tartar, Dutch and Soudanese wives all like to let to bacco smoke curl from their pretty mouths toward the sky, the Italian sig nora is, perhaps, the most passionately fond of the long thin cigar of the coun try called "Virginia." It is no uncommon sight of a summer evening to see a party of ladies sitting in some cool terrace overlooking the sea on the cam pagna, while the music of their velvety language keeps tune to the soft splashing of the sea against the rocky shore, and send rings of smoke from their fragrant cheroots.

An Odd Crop in Sonth Africa. A short time ago a Basuto of South Africa, while ploughing up what used to be the camp of the Cape Mounted Rifles, at Morosi's Mountain, found a bottle of French brandy which had been buried and forgotten by some over provident trooper. It is needless to add that the Basuto promptly drank the contents of the bottle, and with a faith that is almost sublime he buried the empty bottle in the ground again with the hope of getting a crop of full bottles next year.

Result of Recent Meetings Operators Firm Also.

Uwiontown. July 11. The meet ings held by the striking cokers through out the region during the last forty eight hours indicate that they are still determined to stand out for the advance. Out of 390 votes at West Leisenring only 20 favored a resumption at the old rate ot wages.

What sort of men have the missionary societies been sending out to convert the heathen of Siam Mrs.

Leavitt writes from Bangkok: "Dear Reverend Missionary Board, pray do not send out any more wine bibbling, cigar smoking missionaries; there is bad example enough in all these lands from the ungodly men of Christian lands who are in Government employ and engaged in business. Let Christian missionaries be so free from all these things that no poor soul or body can be injured by following their TROUBLE ON THE ELEVATED. Engineers and Firemen on the Brooklyn Strike. New York, July 11. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the engineers and firemen on the Brooklyn elevated railroad struck, and traffic on the line was wholly sus pended.

a few trains were run by some of the higher officials in the engi neering department ot the road, it seems that trouble has been brewing between the engineers and the management for some time. This morning nine engineers were discharged. and the Brotherhood of Engineers at once appointed a committee to wait on the management and demand that the dis charged employes be reinstated pending arbitration. This was refused. The Brotherhood then ordered the men to tie up at 4 o'clock, which was done, the men obeying to a man.

Chief Arthur, of the National Brotherhood, has been tele graphed for, but as he has gone to Da kota on business, the eighty six strikers will not have the benefit of his counsel, at least in person, for some time.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH. Edgar L. Wakeman Deseribns Their Simple Lives sand Manly Virtues. They are the best farmers on the earth, without qualification; their barns are wondrous structures in capacity and arr rangement; their homes are shining nests in bowers of fruit and bloom; their grains, vegetables, butter and fowls are the finest that come to market; their animals are the sleekest and plumpest to be found, and while thrift's hard hand presses upon daily fact and act, there is no other place in this land where the table and the board of virtuous cheer so stagger under the toothsome fruits of goodly toil. In the home, as in relations with each otner.

they study their bodily and spiritual needs, or rather recognize and supply them, for they are practical rather than tbeoric. They never gratify imaginary wants, for they permit only healthy ones. Opposed to what we term "education," which is somehow making of our own young and a bloodless progeny, tiiere is a universality of home knowledge among them ot field and sky, of blade and tree, of fish and bird, of stream and stars, of the rainbow, the seasons, of husbandry and housewifery that is marvelous, while every atom of this true knowledge is made of possible use and account through healthy mind and sinewy brawn. Rec ognizing no necessity for the female being the more delicate and dwarfish, boy and girl alike are trained to maturity in habits of health and ot toil and thrift. From its very birth the child has every circum stance but vitiating indolence attending its future molding; born of a mother free of mental or physical taint, it absorbs healthfulcess with every drop of her milk.

Uladstone's Word Law at Home. A prominent British officer, says Life (Lionaon dining recently at Hawarden for the first time, ventured to traverse a very erroneous version of recent occur rences which fell from the lips of his host. Thereupon Mr. Gladstone's once remarkably fine, though now haggard and restless.eyes began to glare, he knit his brows and surveyed his audacious guest with a glance of withering contempt. But ere his anger could find vent in words, an intimate friend of the family averted the impending storm by interposing with an adroit explanation of the visitor's "obvious misconception," as he chose to term it.

While the explanation was sun in progress a footman slipped into the guest's hand a scrap of paper, on which Mrs. Gladstone bad hastily scribbled the words, "I regret that I forgot to forewarn you that Mr. Gladstone is never contradicted in this house." Just So, Brother. Somerville Journal. Some men go around talking large about their plans to buy a house who haven't money enough to get a third mortgage on a length ot fence rail.

Other men go about talking carelessly about their ''grounds" who haven't room enough in the front door yard to make two blades of grass grow where one starved to death before. Men are queer creatures anyhow; if it weren't for women, wo should stare at them as we do at a natural curiosity. Notes About Jewelry. Jewelry News. There is a great demand for ladles enameled pins.

Clusters in colored combination lead the fall style in ladies' ring3. It is predicted that ruby and emerald will be the favorite gems this season. A bracelet with a semi circle of diamonds or hyacinths embedded in it, leads among the fashionables. Brown, green and yellow diamonds, one of each, set in nine brilliants, make up a very fancy cluster. A band of inverted coffee beans in pink, yellow and green gold and platina constitutes one of the most dainty bracelets to be found.

One of the prettiest lace pins of the season is in a John street window. It is white enamel representing a tea rose, with diamond center in old gold setting. In ladies' rings, the latest fad is to wear the four combination stones on the same finger. They are Bet in four rings, alternately ruby, sapphire, diamond and emerald.

TWBNTT TBRBK MILLIONS.

A Railroad from Mew York to Pittsburg Charters Issued To day. Two charters were issued from tbe State department to day which involve a capital stock of 823.000.000. They corporate two railroad companies, which are said to be a tart of the Garrett scheme to run a continuous line from New York to Pittsburg by the conjunc tion of the Lehigh Valley and Baltimore and Ohio systems. The general belief is that the line will be built. The charters were issued as follows: The Carbon.

Schuylkill and Western railroad company. The length of this railroad, including branches, will be as near as may be three hundred and twentysfive miles, and the names of the counties through which it will run are Carbon, Schuylkill. Northumberland, Snyder, Union, Mifflin, Centre, Huntingdon, Blair, Clear field. Cambria and Indiana. The line will start from a point on the southerly line of Carbon county, near the northwest corner of Lehigh township in Northampton county, and the terminus will be at or near Hlairsville in Indiana county.

Branches will be constructed to places in or near Ashland, in Schuylkill county; to Northumber land in the county of that name; to Phillipsburg, in the county of Centre, and to East Tyrone, in the county of Blair. Tbe capital stock of the company is 820.000.000. and tbe affairs of the company will be controlled by John J. Summers, of Philadelphia, president, and Edwin L. Conougby, Thomas T.

Baltz. W. F. Uirons. m.

A Baker, H. C. Lincoln and E. G. Price, of Philadelphia, directors.

Of the capital stock, which consists of four hundred thousand shares of the par value ot $50 each, George A. Stimpaon, of New York, agrees to take 899.973 shares. The Clearfield and Allegheny railroad company was also granted a charter. It will be about one hundred and twenty five miles long and will run through Clearfield, Cambria, Indiana, Westmore land and Allegheny counties, start ins at a point near Gazzam Station, on the Beech Creek railroad, in Clearfield county, and extending to a point in Allegheny City. Branches will extend to Sharpsburg and other points in Allegheny county.

The capital stock is 13,000,000, divided into sixty thousand shares of $50 each, George A. Stimpson, or Hew York, is a subscriber to fifty nine thousand nine hundred and seventy three shares of the stock. The president and directors are the same as In the above named raUroad company.

Ltnglestown, July 11. On Saturday afternoon John Noecker, while operating the hay fork on the farm of Benjamin Moyer, had his hand caught in the machinery which drew Mr. Woecker up to the rafters of the barn and lacerated his hand badly. David Peck, an old citizen, lies very ill with sciatica. Esther Hover, aged 87 years, has recovered from a severe attack of erysipelas, which covered her face, neck and scalp.

D. Cornelius, of Franklin county, on last Saturday displayed the powers of his stump extractor to tbe great satisfaction of all who witnessed its operation. In a contest of self binders, last Thursday, on the farm of Samuel Miller, near town, much interest was manifested by the farmers. The trial commenced at 2 o'clock. Each machine made three rounds in a thirty acre field.

First to operate was the "Champion" binder. In the operation of the machine it was noticed, in order to make tight sheaves, it almost constantly required some person to jerk the sheaf off the arms of the ma chine and left many bundles untiea. The "Deering" binder came next, but should have had a better operator; therefore the full powers of the machine would have been shown. The "Walter A. Wood" binder came third.

To all unpreiudiced minds its operator proved that he understood the mechanism of the machine by doing superior work in every respect. Not a sheaf was left untied, and all were tied tight enough for all handling of the sheaves; besides, it carried its sheaves and laid them nicely on. a heap. The draught was lighter than the other machines. The same three horses became dry in hair, while in the two other machines the foam stood on the animals.

STBIKINU KtCMAIN FIRM. MR, OABMEOIB EXPLAINS. Why Mr. Blaine was nxcloded Attentions Shown the Latter Gentleman. Edikbttrgh, July 11.

Mr. Andrew Carnegie publishes a letter in reference to the failure of Mr. Blaine to obtain admit tance to the Council Chamber last Friday on the occasion of the presentation of the freedom of the city to the writer In this Mr. Carnegie says: I am my self to blame for the accident of tbe ex clusion of Mr. Blaine from the Council Chamber.

I had arranged with Mr. Blaine to accompany him. On the way Miss Blame met with an accident, which caused a slight injury to her ankle. She was compelled to return and her father accompanied her back to their hotel. Mr.

Blaine wps thus retarded." "instead of Mr. Blaine having any cause to complain of inattention on the part of the officials of Edinburgh, the in terest the Lord Provost and the public have manifested in bis movements and the universal desire to see and hear him have much surprised him. Accustomed as he is to all this wherever he goes in his own land, he bad not expected such a re ception as he is every day receiving in Great Britain, and nowhere have the at tentions paid to him been more marked and gratifying than in Edinburgh."

At a recent meeting held in this city it was also de cided to have tbe propsrty sold under a foreclosure of the mortgage which had been issued upon it, and to have a reor ganization effected upon a basis of 4 in stead of 6 per cent.

This couren was pursued with reference to the Beech Creek railroad, and that property was successfully reorganized. Prior to the departure of ex President Gowen, of tbe Reading railroad com pany. for Europe a meeting of the bond holders of the South Pennsylvania rail road company was held in New York, at which the following committee was ap pointed to ascertain the sentiment of the bondholders upon completing tbe road F. L. Stetson, of New York; F.

B. Gowen. of this city; George F. Baer, of Reading, and Messrs. Hostetter and Phipps, of Pittsburg.

These gentlemen were intrusted with authority to make a suitable offer for the interests of those bondholders who do not desire to go on with the completion of the road. Mr. Baer was charged with this portion of the work in Eastern Pennsylvania and New York, and Messrs. Hostetter and Phipps with tbe work in the western part of the State The duties of the committee have been completed, and it is stated that it has made an informal report to tbe effect that it finds very little opposition made by bondholders to bearing a pro rata share in the completion of the road. There has been paid by the bondholders about 38 per cent, of assessments.

The Yanderbilt interest, it is declared, will not sell out, but will join in the completion of tbe line. The first move toward reopening the case in the Supreme Court, where it has bees tied up since a decision was made against the transfer to the Pennsylvania railroad company upon a preliminary in junction, will be made at the September term of the court, when tbe legality oi the transfer will be tested upon a perma nent in 1 unction. The case or tbe ooutn Pennsylvania railroad will be conducted by ex President Gowen, of the Reading railroad, who will come home during September especially to take part in the case. The matter of reaching this city and New York by the new line from Harris burg has been fully inquired into by law yers. This portion or the nmi win oe done over tbe Reading tracks, under a contract executed between tbe two lines some time This contract, it is is still ic force, and the only re lease that the Reading could secure from it would be by a foreclosure.

Louis of any particular person or persons upon that occasion, have not been based upon any official action on tbe part of the officers of the Grand Army of the Republic who alone have authority to speak for tbe National when it is not in session. Neither the letter nor resolution was necessary to convince the Comman der in Chief that the purpose of the St. Louis committee and the executive committee have from the first been in line with bis own, namely: To make the Twenty fitst National Encampment a pronounced success. But the many who have been misled by unauthorized clamor will be glad to be assured officially that nothing has occurred or is likely to occur to mar the festivities of that occasion or diminish the warmth of the generous hospitality ex tended by the citiztns of St. Louis.
