bop lifter Caught Stealing This noraing. This morning the clerk at the Jewelry counter of Dives Pomeroy's store noticed a woman acting suspiciously as if Intent on stealing something. Directly afterwards the woman was observed to pocket something, and the clerk called the manager in charge ot the floor and told him of tho thett. The manager confronted the woman and accused her of stealing, when she acknowledged the crime and handed over two pairs of bracelets, a locket, a necklace and four breastpins. The manager, announcing that the woman was a thief, paraded her up and down the store that all the clerks might know her when she called fcgaln, and then permitted her to depart There is too much pilfering in the stores of this city, and merchants, to protect themselves, must resort to harsh measures.

The woman was lucky to be let off. Personal. Rev. Duffleld Ashmead, of Philadelphia, will occupy Market Square Presbyterian pulpit to morrow. Rev.

was in the city last evening and got into the company of several convivial individuals who Jingled glasses with him. Among his companions was Joseph Bolen, a notorious character. During the evening they were drinking in the saloon of the White Hall hotel, and while there Kelly was robbed of his watch. Shortly after he missed it and immediately suspected Bolen. The latter was seen ana admitted the theft, but Justified his action by saying that he had taken the watch tor safekeeping.

He had pawned it with Reamer, a saloon keeper at State and Cowden, for 95. The watch was recovered and Bolen committed. Chief Marshal Elected. A meeting of representatives of the various Republican clubs of this city was held last evening, for tho pnrpose of electing a chief marshal for the general trades during the campaign. M.

F. Jordan was nominated as chairman, and George W. Phillips as secretary. They were unanimously chosen. After the usual preliminary business was transacted, an invitation was read from the Fifth.

Sixth and Seventh ward Republi can clubs to participate in their joint meeting this evening, which was unanimously accepted. Stewart P. Keeling, being present by invitation, then stepped forward and addressed the meeting on tte issues of the day. His remarks were well received. After the eloquent address of Mr.

Keeling, Col. Mantor, who was present, was requested to address the club The colonel addressed the audience, and was frequently interrupted by rounds of applause. His remarks gave great satisfaction. At this juncture J. M.

Wiestling, put in an annearance. and was rcauested to speak. Mr. Wiestlinsr in his usual eloquent style spoke on the issues of the day, touching largely on the tariff question. Jar.

yviesi liniralan ernlained his DOSition in the Congressional contest for the nomination in this district. He said he had been put forward aa the renresentative of the RnnnhliVana of DauDhin' county, nnanlmniislv endorsed bv the Re publican County Convention, which honestly believed that Dauphin was entitled to the nominee, but seeing that, nartv dissensions were likely to arise, caused bv outside intermedling which in all nrobabilitv might result in the mis representation of this district in Con gress by the election of a Democrat, he deemed it advisable to waive Dauphin's claim, and his own personal aspirations for the benefit of the grand old party. He requested that a loyal support be given by bis friends, who had stood so gal lantly Dy nim, to vol. uranic m. isouna, of Northumberland, the nominee.

Mr. Wiestling eulogized the character ana standing of Colonel Bound as worthy the support of every loyal Republican in the district JUoua calls were inen maae ior Hon. A. F. Thompson, the candidate for State Senator Irom this district, wno responded in a few remarks, stating the necessity of standing by the principles of the party, the importance of electing a Republican Legislature, and the neces sity of a Republican President, backed by a Republican Congress, which would give the needed protection to American laborers.

A resolution of thanks to the gentlemen who ably addressed the club was unanimously adopted. PROPERLY INTKBREP. The Burial of the Late Col, William K. Russell. A rumor prevailed in Harrisburg some time ago, and up to the present has been uncontradicted, that the body of Colonel Wm.

K. Russell, who committed suicide at Tucson. Arizona, was buried in the clothing in which he died, in a rough pine box. and that there was no stone to denote his last resting place. This was astonishing to his friends, in view of.

the action that had been taken by them, and one of them wrote to the postmaster of Tucson, asking him to investigate. A letter was received from the postmaster last evening in which he states that he bad given the matter lull investigation and rinds that Col. Russell was buried in a new suit of clothes found in his valise, the body being encased in a neat coffin covered with black cloth. He also gives an itemized account of the expenditure of the money sent from Harrisburg, and notes a small balance which was returned by Mr. John Gardner (who conducted the iuneral arrangements) to the gentle man who had charge of the money in this city.

Furthermore the postmaster says that a neat granite monument has been placed over the grave. This latter was done by the order of the late J. Blake Walters, who ordered the shaft while in Tucson and paid for it himself. We hope this statement will set at rest the stories which have no foundation what ever. C.

A. Miller Club on Parade. The Charles A. Miller Eighth Ward Republican club wns out on parade last evening for the first time and a most creditable appearance they made. There were about one hundred and twenty five men in line, headed by the State Capital band.

Tho club was marshalled by W. F. Boilers, assisted by James Hunter and C. W. Harley, and its appearance on parade elicited tho most favorable com ment from the crowds along the streets.

The club was orderly and conducted itself in a manner to win it praise from Democrats and Republicans alike. The uniform is a helmet with a blue plume and a cape properly inscribed with the name of the club. Mr. Miller, our candidate for the Legislature, in whose honor the club was named, marched with the marshal. Wonderful Bicycle Riding at the Rink.

The champion bicyclists of the worid, so far as regards trick riding, are Bert Pressy and Fred. Lester, who appeared at the rink last night, and will again ap Sear this evening. Their acts consist of ouble riding on one machine, single riding on one machine, double Tiding on two machines, a game of Polo on bicycles, and Burt Pressy's acme of skillful riding by appearing on a unicycle or one wheel. The various acts were greeted with applause and these great artists can reBt assured of large audiences to witness their performance at the rink this afternoon and evening. In addition to a repetition of last evening's programme Burt Pressy will this evening ride over a teter plank poised on a pedestal, on his uai eycle.

This feat has been pronounced Ue most wonderful ever attempted on a one wheel machine. Will Conduct the Singing. Prof. W. P.

Chambers, so well and favorably known as a musician in our city, has been engaged to train singing classes and take general charge of singing in the Forster Street Lutheran church. He has already begun work with a large class and wBl hereafter train and lead the choir at all regular services. His skill as a performer on the cornet will be a great addition to the music in the third department of the Sunday school. Suffocation by Oas. A family living on Logan avenue, consisting of the husband, wife and child, were almost suffocated by gas from a coal stove last night.

When discovered they were insensible and it was all the physician could do to save them. In this connection it may be well to say that much of the gas escaping from coal stoves at night is occasioned by the housekeeper filling the magazine with damp coal just before retiring. The gas should be allowed to burn off before the stove is put in condition for the night. Three Score and Ten. Mrs.

W. W. Boyer, residing on Chestnut street, near Third, to day was seventy years of age, an honored and well respected lady. It is worthy of note that Mrs. Boyer was born and has resided all her life in a radius of half a square of her piesent residence, and never moved out of Chestnut street.

Mr. Boyer himself has for fifty four years voted on Chestnut street. The many mends or both wish them long life and prosperity. Correction. Washington county.

Steel ton Item. "A small man driving a small nag or pony, and supposed to hail from High spire or that vicinity, passed through this place last evening on Jus way nome irom Harrisburg, and made the announcement to a number ot persons wmie nere, mat just before he left the city a dispatch was received to the effect that the Repub lican majority in Ohio had been reduced to 5,000. After aa investigation of the matter, we learned that no such a dispatch had been received last evening in the city, and that the dispatch in question must have originated in the fertile brain of this wauld be conspicuous politician, who not long since attempted to dictate a policy to his partisans in Dauphin county and force himself into office. We don't mind occasionally having to look after the few descendants of Tom Pepper that reside in Steelton, but the Peppers of if there are more than one there, will please not thrust themselves upon us again, while in an untruthful mood." A Candidate Selected. The Democratic conferees of the Huntingdon and Franklin Senatorial district met at the Bolton House yesterday afternoon and took five ballots, Huntingdon voting for H.

See's. The Elevator Hermit. No man sees so many ups and downs in life as the hermit of the elevator. He ascends without hope and descends to the depths without despair, tlis mission in life is to move on, keep moving. He is all the time going somewhere for somebody else and never anywhere for him selt.

Ilis purpose is to pull at a metallic rope and sail through the air like an uncomfortable spirit doing a dreadful penance. He is like Sysiphus rolling the stone and Tantalus struggling for the water. It is the same old story, from morn ing till night, only there are a great many stories between the ground floor and the clouds. He takes on cargoes of humanity and discharges them in dreary monotony. Passengers come like shadows, so depart.

He lives no, ne vegetates in a darK cage, and only catches glimpses of life through passages stretching far away from the shaft in which he works, as if they were galleries in a mine. He knows everybody in the passages, but he thinks of them by numbers. Yes 1 Seventy eight third. JNo one ever saw an elevator conductor out of his cage or probably ever will. He never marries, because there are no opportunities for flirtations, and no girl with any sound ideas of solid chunks of comfort in the pursuit of happiness would care to be proposed for half way 'twixt heaven and the madding crowd.

A comfortable s6fa and a dim religious light on earth are good enough. I The LaCrosse Tragedy. The coroner's jury in the case of Mitchell, alias "Scotty," the lynched murderer of Frank Burton, at LaCrosse, Wisconsin, yesterday rendered a verdict that "the deceased was the man who murdered Mr. Burton, and he came to his death by hanging at the hands of parties to the jury unknown." It is believed that Mitchell intended to kill two other men besides Burton. Wants to Reargue the Case.

George J. Kunkel, has applied to Supreme Court for a reargument in the case of the appeal of the City of Harrisburg, which was decided in favor of the city. The case is based on the right of the city to tax the Kunkel estate for water used by a row of dwellings, in which one hydrant was used by two houses, and one pavement washer did common duty. It was decided in favor of Harrisburg. IN THE REPUBLICAN MAJORI TIES.

18. In an inter view yesterday, Frank H. Hurd, the Democratic tree trader who was anxious to go back to Congress, as he expressed it, to "help knite the iron men ot Penn sylvania," made the following statement relative to the Congressional contest in the 10th district, which, with a Democratic majority of 5,746, defeated him for Congress bv 380 majority: .1 have taken steps to ascertain whether the majority against me has been unfairly or corruptly obtained. If, as I have been informod is the case, I shall learn that I have been defeated by the changing of ballots, the perversion of returns, the purchase of votes and repeating, I shall immediately institute proceedingg for a contest. However, if the majority proves to be a fair expression of the will of the people of the Tenth district, I would not take the scat proffered by the next Congress.

I do not expect for some days to have the necessary information to determine my action." Explanation of a Marine Mystery. Early in September one of the Sandv Hook pilots reported a remarkable appearance at sea off Sandy Hook. He declar ed that he had observed that the sea, for a considerable area, was red, and upon examination he had found that it was oc cassioned by what appeared to be worms about three inches long and one quarter of an inch in diamater. The matter was investigated by Lieutenants Fields and Sherman, of the United States Navy, and in charge of Hydrographic Bureau in New York, who sent the result to the Smithsonian Institution. Ensign W.

E. Safford, in charge of the Peabody Museum, clears up the mystery. He says that the creatures are a worm known as the mereut meealops, which live in the sand during the early stages of their development, but swim on the water's surface in great numbers during the breeding season He caught many in nets when he was attached to the Fishery Commission steamer Albatross. They were attracted to the vessel by the electric lights. How She Annihilated Ilim.

Detroit Free Press. Extravajjent and Stingy Vermont. There is some agitation in Vermont in favor of increasing the salary of the Governor, which is now $1,000 a year, and the Rutland Herald, in advocating it says: "The trouble with Vermont is that it is at once the most extravagant and the most stingy State in the Union.

It will recklessly 'pass legislation of the most costly character to the State under the stimulous of a crazy yell for reform, and it will place a premium on stupid or knavish service by refusing to public officers holding important trusts requiring a large bond decent remuneration for their responsibility and labor."

BEECHER VS. BEKCHKR.

The Plymouth Preacher's Tribute to the Republican Party. Mb. Editor Teteohapw Tt ia erally supposed that an editor ought to know everything, and that it is his pleasure to answer all questions that may be propounded. Acting upon this idea, I would respectfully ask whether the Henry Ward Beecher who is announced as about to take the stump in behalf of tho Democratic ticket is the same Henry Ward Beecher who four years ago, in a sermon in Plymouth church, used the following language: "The value of a good name is just as eminent in regard to nartios as it is to in dividuals, to firms, to corporations, to States and to Nations. What, when vou come to the very marrow of it, is the reason that the Democratic nartv has come to scorn in this land I don't ask what are the sources from which votes have been gathered, but why is it that, taking the country through, men of most feeling, most religion, most civilization, men most sound in business relations.and men who stand highest in manhood what is the reason that thev are steadilv embodied and embattled against that party It is because they have no confidence in its integrity.

It is because it is rotten, to the very center and core not every man in it, but the thine called an organized party, which in its recent manifesto before the work ot election had be gun, stultified itself by the amazing dec laration that it renewed all its traditions and all its issues: that is to sav. its base subservience to slavery, its condoninz secession, its refusing to help the land through the great struggle for emancipation, and for liberty, its obstruction to etery stepof reconstruction, its blatant and persistent folly in resisting all honesty in to currency and money matters these things, so many black streams, don't come from anything but a black pool at headquarters and at bead It is a party that has truckled to the baser relations and passions of men." "Why is it that the lieoublican partv. after twenty years of power, has not lost it? Because its reputation is such that men believe it means liberty, civilization, power. for the best elements in human society. That is its reputation, and it has gone into power again, or is at the eve of doing.it'.

"The Democratic party has got a bad name; and I don't how it is going to get rid of it. Certainly not, in the measures that have been taken, will it be accom plished. In the conduct of this campaign we expect on either side a certain amount of moral friction; and I am not here to say that the Republican party has been without blemish. I propose, as far as my is concerned, as far as I can bring the word of God to bear upon this community and the population at to stamp the conduct that has been taking place under the official sanc tion ot the Democratic party with such odium that a man would sooner sleep with a rotten dead man than with that "1, say these tuings witn grief. I would not sav them if the indignation of the Lord aid not stir me to the very bottom, and if I did not desire to have it known for generations to come, that the men who undertook, by lies, by forgery and by persistence in them, to blight a fair fame, that on that man.

should rest the indignation of the Lord and of the nation, So that the people should be the voice of God come to judge such a man. It will come. it has come: ana as when the thunder breaks in the summer among the mountains its crash is caught up by this mountain, and thrown to that and to that and goes echoing down upon the horizon, so down' through the course of time the men that have conspired tnis infamous thing will have the thunder of indigna tion still reverberating to the latest day The same parties exist to day as tney did four years ago. The same principles actuate them. There is no change in themo Why then, if this is the same Beecher, will he take to his embrace the party which he so greatly loathed.

It must be that he has changed, or that the fellow feeling that makes him wondrous kind" inclines him to aid and defend the head of the Democratic ticket. Shall we follow the teachings of four years ago, or shall we join the "party with the bad name" that is "rotten to the center and core?" The. people are: hardly prepared to go with Mr. Beecher into the enemy's camp and bathe in the black' pool which he so graphically describes. Truth.

Ward Repub Editor Telegraph Pursuant to in vitation, J. M. Wiestling, made his appearance at the rooms of the Fourth Ward Blaine club last evening to speak upon the political issues of the day.

His explanation of the causes which led to the nomination of Mr. Bound, and which influenced him in transferring the votes of the Dauphin conferrees from himself to the Northum berland gave entire satisfaction, present being convinced that by his generous asd self sacrificing course ho has saved the district from disruption and the consequent election of a Democratic Congressman. Mr. Wiestling has thus by his own manly and patriotic action confirmed the confidence and regard of his party in his sincere devotion to principle, and strengthened himself ia the district for future honoi and preferment.

WEST VIRGINIA'S VOTE. TBK3I EN DOITS DEMOCRATIC ISO OFF. FALL Reduction from 15,300 Dmocratie Majority In October, 1880, to About Mothlngln October, 1884 Republican Gain or 10,000 Uood Chances of Republican Success In that State In November. The news from West Virginia makes the Democratic rooster look something like the above.

From the preposterous claim of 15,000 majority, the actual figures have brought the Democratic vote down to a minimum. It is not so much a question now whether the Democrats will have a big majority as it is whether they will htve any majority at all. We know that the ratio of gains, in the coun ties so far heard from, is sufficient to wipe out the former Democratic majority, if maintained in all the counties as yet unreported. But as these counties are in tho mountainous part of the State and are filled with Bourbons whose chief employment in life is to drink corn whisky and vole the Democratic ticket, we do not look for anything but an increase in the Democratic vote. And making allowance for this, the Democratic majority is not likely to exceed 3,000.

We are aware that the Patriot is forging Associate Press telegrams so that they report 12,000 majority, and that the Philadelphia Time is making claims in its editorial columns that tne telegrams in its news depart ment refute, but all the while the doleful wail is humming around their ears of, too late, too late. Forged tele grams and editorial lies have ceased to deceive. West Virginia gave 15.300 Democratic majority in October, 1830, and in November of the same year Han cock had 11,148 majority. The Democratic majority oi this month shows a Republican gain of 12,000. A falling off this year like lhat which took place from October to November, 1880, will inevita bly give the State to Blaine and Logan.

And for this we are happy. Editor Telegraph. WEST VIRGINIA FIGURES. The Democratic Majority Greatly DiminishedHeavy Republican Gains. Wheeling, Oct.

18. Returns from the mountain counties have been uniformly favorable to the Republicans, and the Democratic majotity heretofore claimed has dwindled away at ante which has filled Democrats with dismay and alarm while the Republicans are correspondingly elated. Last night the best figures the State house officials have shown were but 4, 800 majority for Wilson, while at Republican headquarters Chairman Cowden's figures from fifty of the fifty four counties show a majority of but 2,856 for the Democrats, which, it is claimed, will not be materially increased. Several interior counties which, since the war have uniformly gone Democratic, send Republicans to the legislature, and give Maxwell handsome majorities, while many counties have doubled Garfield's majority. This is a substantial victory for the Republicans, and at the State headquarters the determination is expressed to push the fight until November 4 with redoubled vigor.

With Wilson's majority at 3,000, or less, a change of 1,500 votes will give the State to Blaine, and if hard work will put us in the right pathway we shall yet be redeemed. Editor Hart's Estimate. Wheeling, Oct. IS. Accepting Democratic estimates, as far as they are made, and giving four counties not heard from majorities they had in 1880, the net Democratic majority is 4,770.

In my judgment, the majority will fall something lower. Charles Burdett Hart, Editor Inttlligentfr. AND STILL WETTER. Immense Demoeratlo Losses Republican Gains In tbe Lesjislat are. Wheeling, Oct.

18. Fifty counties complete and estimated give a net Democratic majority of 2.813. This is a Republican gain of 14,872 over Jackson for Governor, and 35G over the combined Democratic vote at the last election. Later returns give the Republicans a gain of 15 in the Legislature. The Republicans are filling the streets with cheers.

The Democratic majority will not exceed the party claimed 13,000. The Democrats claim to have carried very Congressional district, intending to convey the idea that a solid delegation had been elected to Congress; Tbe Con gressional election docs not occur until November, and then the Republicans will gain. Current Politic. Mr. Blaine reached Flint, Michigan, yesterday afternoon from East Saginaw.

ity Associated Piess. Is'ew ore. Oct, 18. For some months the scenery used by the Kiralfy Brothers in "Around the World" has been stored in a covered alley way at 123 Fourth street. This morning smoke was seen Issuing from the alley way, and immediately after flames burst lonn.

The fire was extinguished after it spread to the adjoining buildings. but tbe inflammable scenery was totally destroyed. It was intended to remove it in a few days, as the Kiralfys were about to start on the road with "Around the World." It was brought to this country from Europe, and cannot readily be replaced. Estimates of the loss run from 13.000 to 120,000. There was a report lhat the fire was the work of two vengeful employes, who were arrested a few days ago on a charge of stealing ticbts, but the police believe it was kindled ty a spark from a uoncre.
