LAST EDITION. MKN AND THINGS. THIS LOCAL HD8T LICK UAH A 8HOKT CHAT. The Klectno Lights of Harrisburg 8uc fal Fluhwars at Colombia Dam. Men of Distinguished Mtmn Who ltsalue In Merrlsburg CoanolU man bo Io What the People Ask Observations.

The carpers at the electric light system of Ilarrisburg can go hide their dimin ithed heads. It is one of the best lighted cities la the country, and you needn't take my word for it Ask any stranger who gets Into Harrisburg at night. A commercial traveler from Newark, N. and commercial travelers are men who observe pretty much everything, told me recently mat mrrisourg is better ugntea than any town he visits with the exception of Peoria, III. This reminds me that the other niirut.

crossing the Rock ville bridge, 1 could distinctly see the electrio lights in Ilarrisburg, and their combined rays caused a sort of halo over the city that was plainly distinguishable. Well, It was about time Ilarrisburg was getting on. We used to havo coal oil and wbat a dizzy light It was then we advanced togas, and now we have electric lights. Lancaster crowed over ns for a year, but we got there just the same, and, as the object of street lighting is to aflord police protection, I'm sure we are amolr protected. The Excelsior com pany has come to stay, and (I don't want to pun it) it has live, energetic business men at us head who will let 'er go, Ual Fish commissioner Jt'owen tells me that In due time there will be several more Roger's flsh ways in Columbia dam.

There were two in the dam last spring, and so successful were they that a great many shad came up the Husque nanna, ana almost a thousand were caught at Newport, on the Juniata. The commissioners are elated, and naturally want more flsh ways. To this end they have secured the engineer who erects the Roger flsh ways, and if their money Tiolds out they will place a number or new devices in the Colum bia dam, and the shad will come up next spring, and ilarrisburg fishermen will Bet them, and they will be sold cheap, and everybody will buy them, and the llrst thing we know shad bones will be growing out oi our anatomy to such an extent tnat we can put on our shirts, atid Columbia will give us tbo laugh. That's all right, if we only get the shad. we won hick.

Speaking of distinguished people, Har rlsburg has its share. The nameB of famous soldiers, statesmen, writers and poets are found in our directory. Here are a fow of them with the occupations of those who own names known throughout the world: John Q. Adams, author, laborer. Mark Anthony, clerk.

Andrew Jackson, druggist, trimmer. Harry Lee, cook. Robert Lee, laborer. George Washington, laborer. John Logan, book keeper.

Henry C'Tay, iarmer. Benjamin Franklin, laborer. Daniel Webster, engineer. William Henry Harrison, car inspector. Robert Burns, engineer.

Waiter Scott, waiter. Joan Brown, laborer. John Calhoun, laborer Give Councllmen their Just due. They generally do what the people want if the people only tell them what they want. In the matter of paving Third street, for Instance, thero was a great deal of honest difference ot opinion concerning the material to be used, and when the Highway Committee met last week it was as mucn in ine dark concerning preferences as it well could be, and it took the only loophole of escape and rejected all bids.

Since then the people who own property on Third street have expressed very emphatically their desire to have sheet asphalt pavements, and last night when tho Highway Committee met it was confronted with this preference. Like sensible men they said "His expression of opinion is what we asked for. You have given it to us, and we wll obey your wish." And straight way they reconsidered their action of last week, and awarded the contract for paving Third street with asphalt sheet to the Barber company. They recognized tbo will ot the people and bowed to It, as all sensible men mutt do. Select Council will meet on Monday to consider the question of paving Third street, and there is every reason to suppose, iroin their well known pro Sessive character and fair mindedness, at the gentlemen composing that bodv will give the people of Third street what to large a majoiity of them ask.

It Is Observed i That the candidate is anxious. That no bass are being caught. That a cold wave would be a godsend. That" night markets are a great convenience. That Republican primaries to night will be lively.

That a city man in the country has a big head to stay where he is. That if certain men would put thoir beads together the streets would be paved. Blocks. That tho soldiers are at Mt. Gretna; there will be many visitors to camp tomorrow; Phil.

Sheridan will be there on Friday, and when are you going T. m. j. A Flrat ClaM Fir Engine, Tbo steam Are engine of the Washing ton Hose company not having been in service for some time, Engineer Jauss last evening gave it a trial at the hose bouse. With strong steam pressure and a small nozzle, water was thrown a long distance, beating its previous record by four feet.

The perpendicular stream could not bo measured, there being no guide In tbo neighborhood higher than the Presbyterian church spire, 200 ieet from the pavement, but it is thought a fair test could bo made at the stand pipe. The boiler of the engine not being of sufficient capacity to furnish steam for the powerful machinery, a portable boiler has been procured, in which steam Is made. The steamer was built in Nor rlstown and is first class. Progressive Eoobre. Miss Ilachnlen gave a progressive euchre party last even lag at ber beautiful uburban home, "Bolloviow." The playing was animated and the prizes were elegant and appropriate.

There were four tobies and, as usual at "Belle view," everybody spent a delightful evening. The extensive grounds were lighted by the bright moon and myriad Chinese lanterns, the ellcct being beautiful. On the War Path. The Gillet family was "Making Rome bowl" over in Siblutown last night when the police force swooped down upon them.

The report of the Teachers' Committee was so amended that Miss Annie Harvie will remain as an assistant to Miss Annie Marshbank and Miss Amy Watson will be placed in charge of the school made va cant by the resignation of Miss Minnie Bhisier. The contract for grading the new lot on Fourth street was awarded to Peter Crider, at 19 cents per cubic yard.

The officers of the board reported that they bad purchased a piece ot ground on the old reservoir lot for $10,144 and an order for one tenth of the amount was ordered to be drawn. The matter of heating the Stevens (Chestnut street) building by steam was referred to the Committee on Buildings, to investigate and report their views to tbe Board. Secretary Young stated that the annual directary was ready for publication. The matter ot publication was referred to the Committee on Supplies with power to award the contract to the lowest bidder. The chairman of the Committee on Supplies (Mr.

Sites) made a tabulated statement to the board, in reference to the cost ot adopting the free book system in this city. The cost to the Board for books for all schools, by the adoption of this system, would be about $8,500. The question was referred to theCommittee on Supplies. To Primary Officers.

ON BLUE BIDGE SUMMIT.

Tbe Explorers Have a Good Time of tbe First Snake Hunt. Camp J. M. Hemperly, Blub Ridge Summit, August 5. 1887.

Dear. Telegraph: Tbe Explorers have had a good time since their arrival here. On Tuesday evening, although weary from hard work, they were able to laugh heartily wben Col. uordon told bis won dertul tale of the goose, and all the time imagined they were boys again. Wednesday was devoted to fixing up camp, picking berries, and to killing an unfortunate little snake that wandered into camp, unaware of the fact that twenty enemies were here, ready to take its life.

In the afternoon an immense poster was displayed, bearing the follow ing inscription irrogram tur to nite. Hepe Big Fun On the Divel's Raice Corse, At Half Past Ate Sbarpe. A Grate Skaightin Skeme On Banana Skins, By Pusb me Sock Doodle de dum. Dancin bye the Quire. Admission Fre fur Hal Price.

In the evening a number of visitors came to camp, and while here tbey witnessed the presentation of a handsomely framed group to our ever popular eecre tary, Col. B. L. Maurer. This great work of a special artist is entitled "The Colonel and his Pets." In the center is a photo' graph of the secretary, and this is sur rounded by a variety of portraits, representing friends of bis early days.

There were speeches appropriate to tbe occa sion, followed by cheers and tigers. Juater there were readings and recitations, music, etc. Thursday morning nearly all the Colo nels went tramping. Eight of these vis ited the rattlesnake den, but as there were clouds beneath tbe sun, the morning was not a good one for catching snakes, and the result was the slaughter of only nine teen rattlers, several uoioneis are anx ious to win the champion's feather, and it is expected that the den will be visited again. The largest snake captured had twelve rattles and a button.

Camp Hemperly is delightfully located, overlooking the Western Maryland rail road. All trains pass near camp. Near by are a number of summer boarding nouses, the principal ones being tbe Chapman Mansion and the Summit Villa. The latter is a new aDd well kept nouse, presided over by Mrs. jj.

Rowe, whose husband is agent of tbe Western Maryland railroad at this point. A careful estimate made by a prominent resident shows that on Thursday there were (including the Explorers) 983 foreign boarders within a radius of two and a half miles ot our camp. The camp, regulations are rigidly ooeyed, and tbe calls to meals are always heeded. Breakfast is served at 6 o'clock, dinner at 12 and supper at 6. The officer of the day and his two assistants are expected to see that offenders are court martialed, that the chickens are fed, tbe ducks watered, water and wood provided.

and the latter chopped ready for use. ihe only dissatislaction bere is caused by the irregularity of the mails. On Wednesday not a single letter or paper was received from Harrisburg. and seme of Tuesday's papers from there have not yet arrived. Mall that should have come to hand at 9 a.

m. on Wednesday came straggling along at intervals on Thursday. And this only eighty miles from Harrisburg. night was devoted to music, read ings, crokinole and other games, until 10 and at a later hour a fine performance was given by tbe cow bell band, interspersed with fireworks. lomorrow programme has not been announced.

Among the callers at camp yesterday were Rev. Dr. Pomeroy, of Chambers burg, and Rev. Gladhill, of Newport. To day we have with us Alex.

Blessing, of Harrisburg; also, Joseph Ogelsby, jr. The camp attracts tbe attention of travelers on passing trains. Sixteen tents besides the dining pavilion and the kitchen have been erected. Weatber is delightful, and the breezes invigorating. j.

m. m. The Late Penrose Ln.sk. For the Tbt.bora.ph. I desire to pay a slight tribute to the memory ot A.

Penrose Lusk, who passed to the life eternal yesterday morning. I knew him for years, and although our relations were never what would be called intimate, they were always pleasant. He was a square, outspoken, fearless man. He never was a straddler in religion, politics or business. There was no am biguity in his language, but he talked straight to the point, and acted as he talked.

While there was an apparent stiffness or brusqueness in hismanner.bis heart was as tender as a woman's, and he was prompt and generous in times of need and distress. What an intelligent and en tertaining conversationalist He was a Democrat from his youth. It occurs to me, in a conversation I once bad with him, that his first experience as a delegate was to the State convention which nominated Francis R. Shunk for Governor in August, 1844, and he rode from Lewistown on horseback to attend it. From that point the only means of conveyance then was cither by the canal boat or stage.

What vast improvements in traveling facilities the youthful delegate of forty three years ago lived to see, and what gigantic strides in the world's history he was witness of. I think, too, he was a delegate to the Democratic National Con vention at Cincinnati, in 1856, which nominated James Buchanan for President. He was wont to relate with considerable gusto the manner in which Ueneral Butler, who was chairman of the Massachusetts delegation in that convention, cast its vote for General Pieiee. It was in this wise: "Massachusetts casts its votes for Franklin Purse." That's the way many New Englanders pronounce Pierce. Where do they get tbeir authority for so doing? But I am digressing.

"Penn" Lusk has gone. His erect, familiar figure ill be greatly missed in political and business circles. He died as he lived, an honest, straightforward, consistent man, and many a quiet, unostentatious tear will be dropped upon his grave by those who knew his worth and integrity. Vale et vale. The Old Fellow.

Harrisburg, Aug. 6, 1887. Died Suddenly. Mrs. Robert Pierce, of 1115 North Sixth street, died suddenly yesterday afternoon.

She returned home from camp meeting Thursday evening, and at midnight complained of severe headache. She rapidly grew worse and died at tbe time stated. Her husband and three small children survive her. The isiundln Case. Young Blundin, who is in jail charged with tittempUng to poison the family of W.

H. Seibert, has not yet been given a hearing. Dr. Charles T. George, who made an analysis of the poisoned sugar, will be home this evening, and the hearing will be held when he is ready to testify.

A SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE. A Harrlsbnrg Business Establishment Which is a credit to the City as Well as to Its Founder aud Director. When a business man increases his stock of goods and enlarges his facilities, the world very properly interprets it as evidence of success, and awards him the meed of praise and respect which is always granted to those who do well. This is just what Mr. J.

M. Hemperly, the wholesale notion merchant, of Third and Boas streets, Harrisburg, has been and is now doing. Ever since be began business in 1867, Mr. Result Hemperly has been moving steadily on ward and upward in the path of success, enlarging his stock and extending his trade, until now, after the lapse of a scoreof years, his establishment is exceeded in magnitude by few in Central Pennsylvania, while his reputation for fair dealing and integrity is not surpassed by that of any other business man in the State. But, not content with bis present generous measure of success, Mr.

Hemperly seeks for fresh worlds to conquer; and with this end in view he has just laid in from the markets ot the metropolis an extensive stock of goods for tbe fall trade, comprising underwear, hosiery, gloves, and a general and well selected stock of notions. His business operations cover all of Pennsylva nia as well as other States. He makes a specialty of Pennsylvania trade, however, though he studies carefully and thoroughly the wants of all his custom ers and strives to anticipate their require ments, not content with the vast as sortments offered by our home markets, Mr. Hemperly imports direct for his own establishment to a considerable extent, and is therefore enabled to offer rare in ducements to his patrons in the way of bargains. Merchants handling goods in Mr.

Hemperly 's line will certainly do well to make their purchases from this house. Their stock is clean, new and desirable and worthy at all times of the attention of dealers. The ad vantanges presented in the ex tensive lines of goods row being received In his establishment will soon be presented to the retail trade by the nu merous commercial travelers in his em ploy, and the effect will be seen in the increase of his already large business and the extension of bis enviable repu tation as a dealer of enterprise and proouy. juercnants nancumg goods in Mr. Hemperly's line will certainly do well to make tbeir purchases from this bouse.

Their stock is clean, new and desirable, and worthy at all times of the attention of dealers. WHEEL BOTES. The Wbizzlng Steed That Goes by a Fly ing. Gov. Beaver's son rides a 52 inch Ex pert.

The number of wheels is constantly in creasing. Wm. E. Fahnestock has just returned Irom a week: trip. Will Froehlich has bought a 52 inch Expert and already rides very gracefully.

j. u. ennver nas received his Boring field Roadster, and ib correspondingly nappy. une or tne nappiest men in town is Will Lyter with his Victor Safety. He says it is a dandy.

There are some bad cbuck boles in front ot the Bolton House which should have immediate attention. About 15 or 20 have signified tbeir in tention of going to the WilUamsport meet tne latter part ti the month. George Hutman, the new treasurer of the club, may be seen nearly everv day flying around on his bright and shiny Diar nunung up delinquent members. me wneei uiud intend having a num. ner or races some time next month at Poppy Rusb' driving park.

We learn it is not a money making scheme and there will be no admission lee; so all who wish to see the champions win their first races. let them go to the driving park on the day to be named hereafter. Tbe most important thing in wheel cir cles at present is the lantern parade which takes place Moday evening. August 15th ine parade leaves the headquarters, 3 South Third street, at 8 o'clock. Al wheelmen in the city are invited to parti cipate and are requested to call on Chas.

l'. Liocbiel Hotel, for further information. It is to be hoped that the citi zens will, for the evening, refrain from flooding the streets, and simply sprinkle tnem. The Sunday Law. Ed.

Telegraph: Several communica tions have appeared in your columns of late in relerence to tbe increasing disre gard of tbe law which has hitherto given us a quiet Sabbath. There was a time when our city was noted for its observ ance of this law by the masses of our people, though there have alwavs been a few individuals who by engaging in their business all day, seem to glory in their defiance of public opinion. But the evil is growing, and one of the greatest nuisances to which we are subjected is the running of certain ice wagons through our streets, and even past the churches. whilst the congregations are engaged in divine worship, it is an open question whether tbe delivery of ice on Sunday is one of the things embraced in the proviso relating tbe "necessaries of life," contained in the net of 1794. Many of our citizens find it perfectly practicable to get their Sunday supply of tnis article on Saturday evening.

IJut, admitting tor the preeent, that ice may be lawiuuy delivered on Sunday, it can not be done between the tours of 9 A. M. ana 6 jr. m. without a violation of law.

ine owner and employes or every ice wagon round on our streets after 9 clock on Sunday morning are. each of them. liable to a fine of $4 and costs, and if the Mayor and his police understood and were disposed to do their duty, the practice would be instantly broken up. It is in tolerable that the Christian people of this city are to bet disturbed in their houses of worship by the rumbling of ice wagons past tbeir very doors. By an early start in tbe morning all the regular customers could be served befoie 9 o'clock, and peddling operations are not allowable on that day.

To the credit of the late Mayor Wilson be it paid, that upon his attention being called to this nuisance, he immediately notified the dealer who was guilty of the practice that be would arrest and fine every driver who was on the street with his wagon during tbe prohibited hours. This had the desired effect, but under the present free and easy administration the traffic has been resumed without molestation by the authorities. No later than last Sunday an ice wagon of this same dealer was delivering ice at 12 o'clock noon, when the people were returning from church. In justice to some of the parties engaged in tbe ice business, it ought to be said that they endeavor to conform to the law. So far as my observation has extended there is but one of the dealers who persistently keeps his wagons running during church hours.

Let the reader keep his eyes open on next Sabbath and he will learn who it is. It is full time that this nuisance was abated. Our people have tbe right to enjoy a quiet Sunday, and it would be difficult to imagine a noisier disturbance than one of these rumbling ice wagons. If the mayor will not enlorce the law, let the Law and Order Society organized for this purpose, among others, take bold of the work. A few fines imposed by one of our alderman and the nuisance would cease.

Sunday. If it were not for public parks.inviting benches, cool shade trees, and green grass tramps would Buffer in cities in hot weather. A COTTAGE BIUUK RESIDENCE. Mr. Holbert's Beautiful Home In tbe Mew Residence Quarter.

A Telegraph was to day ac corded the pleasure ot inspecting nr. H. Holbert's cottage, at Cottage Ridge The view of the property from any given point is charming. The giounds are tastefully laid out, the lot fronting 80 feet on hird street and extending back zuu feet along Geiger, avenue to Logan ave nue. At a point about twenty ieet back of the house a terrace extends across tbe grounds, from which point It gradually slopes to the front pavement, showing to very best advantage a well kept lawn, which resembles i vast carpet of green velvet.

The cir cular walk to the iront entrance and also tnat around the north side oi we nouse is laid in cement, showing a pretty con trast to tbe richreen of the lawn. I be front and side of, the yard are enclosed with a brown stuse retaining wall about two Ieet six inches high, thus allowing full and uninterrupted view of tbe house and grounds. The material of which the cottage is constructed is Hummelstown brown stone to tbe first story, brick in the second and paneled frame work on the third or attic story Upon first entering the house one is impressed with the general air of comfort ana pretty enect to mucn aesircu wuu out the garish display of useless orna ment. The ball is finished in cherry. which quite resembles mahogany in ap pearance and is fully as serviceable.

The wood work throughout the interior is ot cabinet The stairway is admirably designed somewhat after the collonial style of architecture. There are no winding stairs in the entire house, platforms be ing used where necessary to make a turn. Opposite the first stair platform, lookn ing to the front; is a pretty stained glass window representing flowers and vines, with the colors artistically blended. Oppo site the second platform is an oval stained glass window no less attractive Tbe upper half of the front door is set with small squares of beveled French plate glass which, being covered with Turkish silk curtains, presents a very rich effect. On the left of this hall is the parlor, a feature in which is the exceptionally neat mantel finished in wood, and style to conform with its surroundings.

Immediately back of the parlor, through sliding doors, is the library, out of which one looks to the through a stained glass "oriel" window. In tbe rear of the library is tbe atndy. which is entered through an archXue study opening on a small recessed fprch. The study contains a windowVof stained and ribbed glas, novel in atyle, but well suited to its place. From tho library the visitor passes through sliding doors into the dining room.

This room is fitted up in red oak, with fire place and mantel in hazel wood to match the oak. Opposite the mantel is the grandfather's clock, with all its ad. juncts, including a particularly rich. sonorous tone to the ben. un tne soum is a bay window admitting abundant light, tbu rendering tbe dining room the cheerful of the house, if any one room may be so Claimed more than another.

From the dining room one enters china closet aed, corridor combined. which is fiUecmiD with shelves, cup boards and bins for flour, all hidden from view. Leaving the china closet the reporter was shown the'kitchen, which is fitted up with the latest improved range and all the conveniences. From tha kitchen one can go down the cellar, up stairs or out doors. Tbe kitchen is finished in pine, bard wood finish, which renders it very dura ble.

Tbe walls are painted a pretty tint and varnished. is. an entrance laundry, with all its appointments complete. Leaving the laundry we enter tbe Iront cellar, in which are wood and coal bins and the beating apparatus. Steam heat is used, and with the aid of electricity and an air pump the dampers of the beater are being contin ually automatically adjusted, in order to keep the temperature throughout the house at an? desired degree.

The cellar floors are laid with cement. and tbe ceiling is plastered. From the laundry we enter the vegetable cellar. which can be kept cool at all times. Un derneath the cellar stairs is the battery closet, a novel but necessary ad i net.

the bouse being fitted with call bells, burglar alarms at an tne open ings and apparatus for lighting gas; also. tor the heat regulating purposes, it should be mentioned that on entering tbe front door there is a small disk, contain ing a white and a black push button Pushing tbe white one will light a burner in the upper hall and pushing the black button puts it out. The same can be done from one of the nieenlng rooms. where we also find a complete burglar alarm indicator, showing wbere any at tempt may be made to enter tbe bouse. The second story is fitted with pine, hard wood finish.

Every room is well supplied with closets. The bath room looks particularly inviting, and one can hardly conceive a room more complete, it is finished in cherry and oak. with stained glass windows, and the plumbing of the very best From the rear hall we go up stairs to the third story, which contains three fine rooms, one for servants, a commodious billiard room, with table, and a room ntted with fixed wasnstand and opening out on a large open balcony through double French doors. The outlook from this balcony is superb, as indeed it is Irom any part of tbe bouse. This room, with its balcony and' billiard room adjoining, is particularly enjoyed by its occupants, Rob and Ned.

who can tell you all about it. ihe general model of tbe building was after that of the many pretty Queen Anne cottages we see at Bryn Mawr, Avon and other stations along tbe Pennsylvania railroad. The interior was modeled for ihe convenience of its dwell ers, and it seeme they have happily succeeded in their efforts. We understand Mr. Wm.

II. Sby will soon commence the erection of another pretty cottage above Mr. Holbert's resi dence on Third street and Mr. Donaldson has already broken ground, which, with Mr. Mumma's house now building, will give Cottage Ridge quite a business like appearance for some time to come.

When compkted we cannot imagine a more desirable place of residence than Cottage Ridge. KNIGHTS AT 11AKKISUPKO. Expenses of ibe Recent Convention at tbe Uepltal.
