Uart'i Uandi ad 0ligbC IC0frDO to I An tiiiMetHMiMi The quarrel in Councils over the kind of pavement to be put down is water for the mill of the clam who opposes any and all pavements. The clam knows the source of the opposition to pavement and bow be started the quarrel, and is laughing in his sleeve at the innocence of the man who that it arises out of an honest difference of opinion about pavements. Tbe clam having been Joined by tbe man and corporation ready at all times to dig ditches for their own convenience through the streets at the taxpayers expense is now rejoicing in the prospect of a victory that will settle all paving projects for a long time to come.

The clam and the ditch, digger are happy. Tni Democrats in the uoner end seem to be uniting on John L. Bomgardner, of Mlliersourg, lor county commissioner. They claim that as tbe Democrats of that end of the county have not yet had a representative in tbe board that this ought to be theia vear. That may be true.

But the lower end Democrats are not likely to concede that much. They will ask for the nomination of two candidates, ana then the ilarrisburir and lower end Dem ocrats will take good care, as they have heretofore, that tbe upoer end fellow is not the one elected. There are property holders on Third street who are anxious to have that thor ougbfare paved. They may as well make up their minds to it, that if they want to see it done they will have to take con certed action. Members of Councils have plainly indicated their purpose to prevent paving, if possible, and the property holders will find when the time comes that the differences about the kinds of navement were the barest pretenses, The meeting suggested by some of them ought to be held ana it ougnt to do new soon.

llart. formerly of this county, is generally expected. His thoroughgoing Republicanism, his fitness for the position and his personal popu larity, will aid powerfully in assuring his election. Ills good run in 1877, an unfortunate year For Republican candidates, owing to tbe apathy that prevailed in the Krty, waa very creditable to him; it may taken for granted that all the delegates from bis oatiye county will be friendly to bis nomination." They need a new market bouse in Lancaster and a meeting of citizens hav lag been held and a committee appointed, tbe ter has reported that it will cost $50,000, and if subscriptions to the stock to that amount can be obtained the market bouse will bo built. The city having no money it is left to private enterprise to supply the "long felt want." When our shapely and beautiful sheds disappear up the flume, who will replace them? Notices have been sent to all the property owners of Market street to meet the board of viewers at Front and Market streets Friday morning next at 10 o'clock.

Tbe viewers are Messrs. Parthcmore, Black, Patterson, Bhoosley and Dunn. It is hoped the movement toward paving our main thoroughfare will not be obstructed. Ir tbe specifications are changed with respect to the foundation to the street paying so that new clean stone and good cement are only to be used the contractors who have bid for asphalt block will want to Increase their figures.

OK OAS A Harrisburg Company Preparing to Dure Wear This uity. A company is forming in West Harris burg for the purpose of boning lor oil or Eas near the city. It is not definitely nown where the well will be located, but the plan has been heartily endorsed, and already (3,000 of the $5,000 asked for to complete the rigging and sink the well has been subserved, and there are a numbor who have expressed a desire to Si into the scheme. It has been said at neither oil nor gas can be found in limestone territory, such as constitutes the make up of this section south and east of liar risburg, but? this is disproved by the fact that In West Virginia at a depth of 2,000 feet, through limestone for some distance, splendid oil has been found and large gusher gas wells. The limestone bolt ends at Pax ton street, and west of that it is slato.

Tbe futuro of Ilarrisburg as a manufacturing city in the event of the discovery of gas can hardly bo imagined. It would place the city at the head of all In the Btate.

Tbe Sad Calamity That Befel tbe Family of Martin Dapp. Three children of Martin Dapp, a Broad street shoemaker, residing on Fulton, street, near Hamilton, were taken violently ill on Saturday afternoon after eating sausage purchased by tbeir father in Verbeke market, and the youngest Child, John, aged two years, died in a couple of hours. Mr. Dapp bought the meat about 11 o'clock in the morning and sent a portion of it home, taking the balance to his workshop for lunch. Ho had often ircbased sausage from the same dCftler, Mr.

Marsh, Who lives in East Har risUgattiwkflgek Us slimmer Httt supplies Irom Philadelphia and Jersey, and has the reputation of being a most careful man regarding what be sells. About noon Dapp tasted tbe meat, but it bad such a queer flavor that he thought something was wrong with it, and be laid it aside. About one o'clock, the children, who were at dinner, begged their mother to give them some oi ine sausage, wujuu they bad seen, and she complied with their request. John, the baby, ate two little nieces, and shortly afterwards was taken so ill that the eldest son, Edgar wag sent for the father. On the way back home Edgar, too, became very ill and his father had to carry him into the house.

In the meantime Lewis, tbe seo ond son, was stricken down, and the situation waa alarminsr. Dr. Harry Stites was summoned and pronounced the chil dren to be poisoned, and stated that the vounzer one was dying. Emetics were given it and other remedies applied, but nothing could save the little fellow, and he died in two hours. Tbe other two children were saved by powerful emetics, and are out of danger.

Seitz and flarrv Stites made a postmortem cxami nation, the result of which will be made known at the adjourned inquest to be held at Dr. Beitz's office this evening, when Dr.

Hush Hamilton will also re port on an analysis of the contents of tbe stomach, which was placed in his charge for that purpose. None of the physicians are prepared to say that the poison was in the meat, nreiemns to maxe a careiui examination before announcing their de cision. The case has excited the greatest interest, and much sympathy is expressed for the dead little boy and his bereaved narenta. ur. liugn Hamilton, in wnose nanus the stomach of the dead child was Daced for analysis, will make a prelimi nary renort to the coroner's inquest this evening.

No examination of tbe con tents of the stomach has yet been made and it will require several days to make a thorough analysis. THEY ABB NOT HAPPY. Why Rev. John U. Abele Resigned HIS Pulpit in xnis city.

There is everything but harmony in the German Lutheran congregation, which worships at Ilerr and Elder streets. appears that all the trouoie nas grown out of the erection of tbe new church, which is now rapidly neanng com. ploiion. Four weeks ago Rev. John G.

Abele, for six years the faithful pastor of tbe congregation, became involved in a controversy with a prominent member ol ihe church who occu pies the positions of president of the church association, member ot the church council, member of the board of trustees and treasurer of the building committee. It was owing to his action in the latter capacity which gave rise to the pending controversy. Finally the aged pastor decided to resign and accordingly sent a letter to the church council, which has not yet been acted upon, borne days later the treasurer of the building com mittee, likewise resigned, sending his letter to the pastor, who read it to the conirreiration. Neither resignation has yet been acted upon, but ids thought the council will do something at its meeting tomorrow. The pastor told a Teleqiiaph reporter this afternoon that he would not likely accept another pastorate because of his age.

He id now in his 71st year. lie thinks of going to New York. Mr. Abele says he has been harshly treated by some members of the church council. BB WALKED UAOKWARU.

Under tho impitssion that the elevator was up he walked on without looking and was suddenly precipitated to the next floor, the elevator having hecn lowereu.

Tho buggy fell after him, but waa poised on the' points of the shaft just one enough to allow tho boy to scram ble from under it before it came down with a crash. The boy was hurt as men tioned, while tho buggy was much dam aged. Cola Springs' Oaests.

All trees should be pruned, but this careless and indillerent weening out of branches does not improve their lookB and is productive of damage to them. MOUNT HOLLY SPRINGS.

The Picturesque Mountain Resort Dally Growing More Popular. Nestling at the base of South moun summit the fleecy clouda kiss as thev drilt hither and thither, is Hollv Inn. an hour's ride from Harris burg and one of the most picturesque of Pennsylvania mountain resorts, itignt in the midst of the rugged scenery wnicn has made that section of the Cumberland Valley so famous, the guests have nothing to desire in respect and taste for tlie in nature may always be ratified. A. powerful, abundant spring of the coldest and purest mountain water and refreshes all who drink of it.

The rich foliage of the grand old trees which stand as sentinels about this crystal fountain furnish a grateful and a sequestered retreat for him wlio enjoys communion with Nature unadorned. A merry stream leaps down the hillside Bnd rashes through the cap in the mountains back of the "hotel. singing as it eroes the Derpetual song of days primeval and leaving in its wake these moonlight nights a silvery path for all the romantic eJfs that troop through fairly land. Here ana there the plashing water tumbles over jagged rocks forming beautiful cascades that please the eye and inspire the brush of every artist who visits the place. Away up toward the summit of the mountain overlooking the Inn is an ob servatory, which was erected since last season.

It is reached by a winding path flanked on either side by ferns and wild flowers and arched over with dense foliage. From the top of this look out the view is more than beautiful it is snb lime, and well repays one for the labor of the ascent. Spreading out Derore tne tourist in a vast panorama is the Cumberland Valley Carlisle, Mecbanicsburg. and even Harrisburg being discernable in the distance. Such a landscape picture is seldom seen off canvas.

Holly Inn is peculiarly favored as to its surroundings and it is destined to become one of our noted resorts. Already it is being sought out by those families in New York, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and other large cities who ap preciate the restfulness of the Inn and the beneficial effects of the pure water which gushes from the very bowels of the mountain. Cool breezes make the evenings delightful and the Telegraph pilgrim slept so soundly last night that he suspected Rip Van Winkle's diminutive Iriends of having a home in the neighborhood, for the porter finally succeeded in arousing him this morning only by dint of pounding vigorously on his chamber door. Mr. J.

D. Mills, of the Arlington hotel. Washington, D. mine host, is a genial gentleman who makes of every guest a friend, who shakes his hand at parting with regret. The excellent cuisine, owing to a superior chef, has added to the fame of the resort, and Harrisburgers who never visited Holly heretofore are beeinninar to travel that way.

Mr. Mills has arranged Haturdays to have the hack meet all trains after 3:45 in the afternoon, if he is notified. In fact, this accommo dation will always be afforded when notice is given. Several Harrisburg families are now enjoying life at the Springs. FERRY OOPNTV EWS.

When finished they will be much appreciated by the people living aloDg the railroad. James Clesa, the lad who was arrested for robbing the money till at the Newport bakery, will be tried at this term of court.

The supposition is that Judge Barnett will direct that he be taken to the house of refuge. The boy's mother is very ill, and fears are entertained as to her ultimate recovery. Mrs. Dr. Harry Stites and three children, of Harrisburg, are spending a few days among friends in Millerstown.

Harrisburg seems to be badly off for base ball players, which, however, would be no very great discredit, were it not for the pretentions made by them. Two weeks ago our club received a challenge which was promptly accepted. A week later the same game of bluff was repeated by another club, and our boys lost no time in accepting the condition of the proposition. Now another pietended club oilers to take the place of the first clubs that tailed to come to time. Millers burg has concluded to waste no more correspondence with Ilarrisburg clubs, feeling satisfied that the base ballists of that city do not carry the necessary sand to tackle a "country team" or "hayseeds." as they are pleased to term them.
