WM, EGLE, THE RIGHT MAN APPOINTED Some Things the Historian Has Published. In reappointing Dr. Win. H. Egle, of this city, to the honorable position of State Librarian, Governor does a very graceful and creditable act, and one that reflects honor on his administration.

Dr. Egle is, perhaps, the best equipped gentleman in the State for the position, and daring hid incumbency he has brought the Library to a condition of excellence surpassed by no other State Library in the United States and equalled by but few. He is an indefatigable worker, a scholar, a man of erudition, a delver and a remarkably successful historian, working in a field containing nothing but hard, dry facts, yet he contrives to weave about bis facts stories and tales that interest all who read his writings. Dr. Egle, when a young man, learned the trade of printer, ne was atterwaras a successful reporter and subsequently an editor.

He studied medicine aad practiced for some time, and he served honorably in the UDion army, beiug one of the last to be mustered oat in the Army of the Rio Grande. His years in Hanisbnrg have brought him the highest respect and esteem from his fellow citizens, who delight to see the genial and learned gentleman honored. Ir would seem that in such a busy life Dr. Ele would not find much time to devote to writing bonks for publication, but in that particular line he is thoroughly at home. It is anz'ns to read the list of his printed publications.

Some time ago Gossip, in hunting tor data on another was gratified to secure a list of Dr. Egle' publications up to the present, and is enabled to give them as a whole.

John B. Collings, of Scranton, was in the city yesterday endeavoring to secure a charter for a party of gentlemen who have organized a company for the purpose of sewering Oliphant. The securing of the charier is to be strenuously opposed by a large class of the citizens who are not in favor of the project, and have secured tbe services of Hon. Lemuel A merman to look after their interests in the matter. The town's people are considerably worked up over the sewer question.

Hazleton Will Take a Place In tne State League. AZLETON. nas decided to put a good team in the State League, and she will be admitted at the next meeting of the League, to be held in that place February 16th. Frank Rinn, last season's clever State League umpire, is working up interest in Lancaster, and that city may make the eighth city in the circuit. President Meyers, of the State League, was in Hazleton yesterday and reports tbe people of that place as enthusiastic on the subject of base ball.

Thayer Torreyson, who won the championship for Johnstown last year, will very likely manage the new club. President Meyers said that Johnstown would in all probability remain in the League. If this be true Lancaster cake is dough. Bellefonte and Williamsport also want to come in. Hon.

E. P. Kisner. who owns the Park, situated at West Hazleton, has made a very liberal offer to the base ball organization. It had been proposed to build a quarter mile cycle track within the same inclosure, but this would necessarily interfere with the diamond, and only a third of a mile track will be built Mr.

Kisner has arranged to put the grounds in such condition as to make it the finest ball park in the State. Easton's team is now complete. The players signed are Charles H. Levis, first base and captain; Harry Traby, second base; Jack Dunn, third base; Percy Griffin, short stop; Jacob Wei hie, left field; J. J.

Mearo, center field; Thomas Gillen, Harry Hughes and Frank Wilson, pitchers; Jack Wente, catcher and right field; Frank Sharpe, catcher and right field. It is practically a new team, only Hughes and Wente returning. The games this year will be played on tbe fair grounds. The Boiling Springs Grays have been organized with Pitcher Ycingst as captain and C. Lu Lehman as manager.

McCauley, president of the Harrisburg Benevolent Society, was seen by a Telegraph man to day and spoke hopemiiy ot tbe i uorls in bebait ot needy women. He said: "Work for women has been successfully begun by ladies interested in this department of benevolent work. Garments are being cut and distributed to worthy wo men, who can thus earn something to assist in milling their wants. This is a most generous work on the part, of the ladies who have undertaken it. and doubt lets will appeal to many who will be will ing to contribute for this cause specia ly.

"tioth money and matetial is needed. and an earnest appeal is made for this woman work. Material is needed for garments and money to pay for the work. Material, such as unbleached mutlin, canton flannel, cheviot and gingham can be sent to the rooms. No.

Dr. Hutton, chairman of the city iard of Health, told a reporter this afternoon that the case under treatment at the present time were sporadic onus, and not such as to occasion any feeling of a'arm among resident a "In no house where disinfectants have been placed." said the doctor, "uas there been an outbreak ot either disease. My aim all along has been to secure the cooperation of the citizens in guarding the public Health, especially in tbe vicinity of sewers. The State and National Boards of Health would have declared diphtheria epidemic here a month ago," he coa tinued, "and it has been my purpose to prevent this by try ing to stamp out the rapid spread of the disease by home methods. To have been quarantined would have been a serious blow to Hariisburg's interests, and we could not have saved tbe expenditure of at least $20,000 if the National Board of Health had taken hold of the city.

We expect the number of cases to steadily grow less from now on, unless the weather goes against us, remarked the doctor as the repoiter left, "and are glad that the worst is over, for diphtheria certainly was epidemic here a few weeks ago." THOUGHT THE CAR WOULD STOP But Instead It Ran Into His Vehicle and Dumped mm Out. Dentist George W. Baker, of 1340 North Sixth street, invariably takes a carriage drive about 5 p. m. every day.

State Treasurer Morrison Sounds a Note of Warning. State Treasurer Morrison's annual report is now in the hands of the State Printer. It embraces a lot of interesting figures including an estimate of the revenue and expenses for the current year. He shows that the balance in the Treasury December 1st, 1893, was $5,830,808 07. His estimate for this year is $11,377,260 50 receipts and $12,976,700 expenses.

The total interest hearing debt December 1st. 1893, was $3,152,850, the amount of debt reduced during the year being $106,401. The total payments last year were $13,423,061 77, and the receipts were $13,252,727 89. The assets of the sinking fund held for payment of the public debt are $5,883, 064 81, leaving tbe net debt of the State at present $2,404,996 67. Next August tbe four per cent, loan of April 1st, 1879, will become dun.

A portion of this loan, amounting to 79,100,. was purchased during the year at figures advantageous to tbe Commonwealth, but there will remain due in August $1,471,700. In the annual report for 1892 it was stated that the balance in the sinking fund would amply provide for the redemption of the outstanding four per cent, loan of $1,550,800 reimbursable next August, but when too late to correct it an error was discovered which fchows that the amount available to wipe out this loan would be short about $240,000. Mr. Morrison calls the attention of the Legislature to the estimates for this year and remarks that, owing to the depression in business affecting all corporations and manufacturing companies, the revenues will be greatly diminished.

He says if the present system of expenditures is maintained it requires no prophet to foretell what the result will be to the Treasury. He suggests that the extraordinary collections made through the Attorney General last year $1,310,000 will not be repeated during tbe prent year perhaps never. Banner's Body Brought Back. The remains of Englebert A. Banner, who met death by drowning at Middle borough, Kentucky, arrived at Tremont last evening.

The funeral will occur Saturday at 2 p. m. and will be in charge of the Masonic fraternity. The body is lying the home or Rev. Daniel Sanner.

The bidy was found by a small boy on Tuesday evening, floating in the Powell river near the Big Stone Gap. His watch, pocketbook and papers were all on his person, thus dissipating the theory of foul play. The recent heavy iains washed tbe body about a mile and a half below a dam where it was found. A reward of $100 was offered for the recovery of the body by the citizens of Big Stone Gap, and the boy who found the body got the reward. The Typos Dance.

The members of Typographical Union No. 14, with their many friends, danced in City Grays' armory last night, and a most enjoyable occasion it was.

The Campaign Committee of the United Republican Clubs of Philadelphia. has issued an address to tbe voters of Pennsylvania upon the issues of the cam paign. This address briefly pictures the condition of tbe country during the last year of President Harrison's administration, which was the most prosperous year in the history of the nation, and then calls attention to the suffering and distress of the people, and the great depreciation of values all over the land daring the first ten months of Cleveland's administration. The address then Says We feel assured in advance that you will agree with us that the respons'bility for this great change in our condition rests upon the Democratic party, and that the special and immediate cause for the great change is by reason of the threatened injury to oar manufacturing and industrial establishments, brought about by the possibility of the passage by Congress of the Wilson tariff bill. So important are the matters under consideration, and so directly do they affect the material interests of the constituents of the various members of Congress, that our Democratic friends are hopelessly dividing upon pending measures.

Let us urge upon you as loyal Pennsyl vanians, without regard to your party af fi iaiions, to do whatever may be in your power to assist in securing for the Republican candidate for Congressman at Large the largest possible vote. Assist the ward, city or county committee or the party organization in your immediate neighborhood in any way possible from now until the close of the polls on the evening of the 20th of February. Do your full duty. The Hon. Galusba Grow, onr candidate for Congressman at 'rge, is an eminent citizen, an able and experienced statesman, and his election so Congress at this time by 200.000 majority in the State of Pennsylvania, would be the strongest protest against the passage of th Wilson tariff bill which could be recorded.

Remember that the election of Grow and the entire Republican ticket, by greatly increased majorities throughout the several districts, counties and wards of our great CVmmonwealtb, would be accepted by the country at large as Pennsylvania's answer to the of repeated query: "How do you like the change. Fkbbtjaby 20th will be election day. See that you vote and that your neighbor votes for Galusha A. Grow. Communicated.

ROAD MASTERING. Editok Tni.itGB.APH: There is much said concerning our bad roads and how to improve them through the winter and spring when it thaws and freezes and get so bad that one can scarcely get over them. But when the weather becomes sett l. and the roads dry again it i all over, and tbe suae way of improving them takes place again, putting ground and clay in the holes and ouce in a while a few stones and 'hen it will do again till spring comes, and then we have nothing bat holes and a mortar bd to travtl over. This puts me in miad of a man who was always complaining to his neighbor of the bad roof on hi house.

When it was wet the niighbor said to him 'jvoy don't ou put a new roof on you'r house?" The man replied when it is dry we don need it, and "when it is wet we can't put it on." That is about the way that oar roads are done up. We want our roads mastered. We want road masters, not supervisors only. You might just as well talk about building a good, substantial house with all mortar to make a good road with ground and cHy. Nothing else will make a good road but a body of stone in below and crushed stone on top and that would take from one to two feet.

In low places it would need the most to make it solid. But that would cost something. Oh, yes. cost too much Can't Susquehanna and Lower Pas ion townships, afford to pike one mile of the Jonestown road in one year. Each township one mile a year would take three years to get over six miles When done on this plan the road would be good a long time without much or any repairing, and in ten years time we would have gained all our taxes spent for piking the road.

But objections are filed by two payers who live in our township who do not travel the Jonestown road. Well, to that objection I wouidsay, turn about is fair play. The northern side of Lower Paxton township does pay every year some of their road taxes over to the south side to make and repair the road, and this last year not only a little that we must pay for a new road that we don't travel. Now then I say again our mbia roads must mastered if we want to buy a good farm with all good improvements on it, we must piy a good price for it because it cost money to get it there. And so it is with good road6 we can't get them there with out money and work.

a. s. udge of Election. Communicated. Mr.

Geo. A. HoHinger, of the First precinct of the Sixth ward, has been nominated by the Republicans for judge of lection of said precinct. Mr. Hollioger is not only well qualified for the position in every spect, but the voters of his pre cinct are to be congratulated upon their selection, as ia Mr.

8. "Pennsylvania is sorely chastened. Her furnace fires are going out. The wheels of her mills are motionless. Her farm lands are shrinking in va ue and passing into the hands of the officers of the law.

Her labor is unemployed and in a condition of tremulous and dangerous unrest. "Not many days ago some of her citizens were compelled to defend with armed bands their lives and property from a mob of hungry at the cost of shedding of b'ood. To this distress is added a deeper nil! ion. It is not likely that since the es' ibli bm.ut of this Government any delegation to Congress from any state ha" experienced a mortality so sudden and appalling as that which Pennsylvania has encountered.

WASHINGTON SPECIAL Tbe Old Bourbons Holdlnst a Meeting Wbat Sperry Says.

Washington, Feb. 9. The Executive committee of the National Association of Democratic Clubs, which has been posing annually at different points since 1888, is now in session in this city. Chairman Wilson having gone to Mexico to recuperate from the humiliating labors of the recent legislative assault upon American industry coupled with his name, Benton Mc Millia, of Tennessee, took his place in the chair. Ex Lieutenant Governor Chauncey Black, of York, president of the association, was on hand to see that the proceedings were conducted in the direct line of Jeffersonian Democratic doctrine.

Gov. Flower, treasurer, very significantly sent in his resignation. There is a large representation of the Democracy of the Bourbon stripe. There ii much tak about organization for aggressive work. By the time the people get their bands on them next fall they will need another meeting to gather up the remnants.

It is amusing to contemplate the optquity of the ditical intelligence somewhat heightened by artificial fervor of such men as Martin, of Iowa; Black, of Illinois; Harter, of Ohio, and a few other Northern Democrats who are here on this occasion. Tney regard the ruin of American industry as the special mission of the Democratic party and seem to be in perfect indifference to the inevitable popular condemnation awaiting them. The petitions of manufacturers and others from all parts of Pennsylvania are pouring into the Senate, bat there is not the slightest prospect of having any effect. The majority of the Finance Committee had their programme arranged before hand and will carry it oat. Representative Sperry.

9. Lieutenant Brainard, officer of the Kearsarge, who was dispatched to Colon by Admiral Stanton to secure assistance, has sent no further message to the Navy Department about sailing to the relief of the castaways. It is supposed that Lieutenant Brainard has secured the mail steamer City of Paris, which he cabled was available, and that that steamer has sailed to the relief of tbe people on Boncado reef. Message? of inquiry from anxious relatives and friends are pouring into the Bureau of Navigation, but no news can be given them other than that contained in press dispatches. There need be no anxiety, however, for the safety of the men on the reef, and they will probably be rescued to morrow if not to day.

The Navy Department has just received a cable message from Lieutenant Brainard, of Kearsage, saying that he left Col this morning on the steamer City of Para for the relief le castaways on Roi dor Reef, aed thit the City of will return to Colon when she has taken Admiral Stanton and his men on board. THE HOUSE. Tbe Clerks Voctn Member Who Were Not Present. Washington, Feb. 9.

There was only a fair attendance in the gaheries of the Hoose this morning, and only a moderate attendance of members. A difficulty was precipated by the discovery that Babcock Wisconsin, was recorded as having voted yesterday, whereas he was not present. As this would make less than a quorum on a vote to ga into committee of the whole, there was some question as the status of the seigniorage bill. Owing to the confusion in the House at the time, it was almost impossible to avoid tne error, ana in addition, the regular tally clerk was not on duty at the time the vote was taken. When tnis error was discovered.

Reed Maine, and Mr. Tracey (Dero), New York, showed symptoms of intention to take advantage of this mistake and to filibuster. On the other hand, however, it was found thai McCIeary Minnesota; Marshall Virginia; German Michigan, and Shod South Carolina, were present and voted "aye," but were not recorded, bo that they more than counterbalanced the loss, and the presence of a quorum was manifested. After the call of committees for reports had been concluded Mr. Bland Missouri, at 12:27 o'clock, moved to take up the consideration of his silver seignior age bill in committee of the whole, and the motion was agreed to without serious objection.

Mr. Bland concluded his remarks in support of the measure and was followed by Q. W. Stone, of Pennsylvania, who antagonized the bill. Mr.

Stone, in the course of his remarks, said the Democratic party in Congress had drawn up the tariff bill which created deficit, and now they proposed to pilfer from the Treasury silver fund in order to cover up the deficit. An attempt to re susciate industries of the country by issuing more currency, was like trying to revive a man suffering from apoplexy by transfusing more blood into his veins. It was not lack of blood from which the man suffered, but that all the blood was in his hea bo it was not the death of the currency from which the country was suffering, but from the fact that all the currency w.is locked up in New York. The country was not to be relieved by pumping more currency into the financial system, but by relieving the congestion and obtaining a more healthy distribution of that which should be circulating freely. The close of his remarks were warmly applauded.

lie was followed by Mr. McKeigb.au (lad. Nebraska, in support of the bill. VOORHEES AND GOOD FRIDAY. Ills fteUartnns Tremor Had Little Reason for Kxlstence.

Washington. Fht 8. Some one remarked to day that the vangelista Moody and Sankey, who have just opened a four weeks' service in this city, might find a more profiiabje field in Congress, especially in the Senate.
