Ifonfteimra Vol. L.XII., No 18 THE DUSTY ROAD MADE SO BY LIMESTONE Go to the Primaries and Yote. To Night The duit along the river road last night was simply horrible roadway, fences, shrubbery, houses, everything in sight, was covered with its forbidding grey. And this is so frequently the case as to detract largely from the pleasure of a ride over it. It almost reconciles one to the thought of a motor line.

If you ask the reason for it the answer is easily found in the material of which the road is made fine limestone, which is soon ground to powder. Limestone is only fit for paths and walks about a house; it is not fit for a roadway traveled by wagons and carriages, it is too soft. It has cost Harrisburg thousands of dollars, and yet our streets where it is used are mud and dust. You can grind it to powder under your heel, and the track of the first heavy wagon that passes over a street newly made with limestone can be followed by the crushed stones left in its wake. The river road is smooth, but that is all that can be said for it.

After a rain it makes a delightful drive during a drought it is abominable. Every Republican who has the inteiest of his party at heart ought to go to the primary election to night and cast his vote for the men he thinks best fitted to administer the duties of official life. Very often men are dissatisfied with the candidates nominated in convention, and they are given to kicking, but in nine cases out of ten you will find that the kickers were the men who never went near the primaries in fact took no interest in them whatever. This is not right. Every man has the use of his ballot at the primaries, and if he does not avail himself it is his own fault.

The primary election is the occasion when the will of the majority asserts itself, and the essence of Republicanism Is that the majority rules. The polls will be opened this evening from to 8 o'clock, and, being a Republican, you know where to vote, and you have the right to express your preference. Speaking of politeness, there are some very polite men in Harrisburg. There used to be a clerk at the stamp window in the post office who, as he took your two cents for a stamp, said "Thank you as if he were real glad that Uncle Sam had made a trade. In a street car the other day, when Gossip handed over his nickel to the conductor, that official, being a new man, nodded and said thanks." It was not so much the action and remark that caused the passengers to smile, but it sounded so funny in a street car, where the one stock remark is "move up front, please, and make room." Wht doesn't somebody with authority tear out by the roots the old gas lamp posts that are still standing like melan cholly wrecks as monuments over the street light of other days The glass is all broken, many of them are battered out of shape, and some of them are crooked and lean over to one side like a tipsy man.

They ought to be taken to the garret. Asd, by the way, why would it not be well to cut a street through the land one hundred yards in the rear of the present road. It seems to Gossip that the effect would be to build up the intervening space between it and the river with beautiful villas This will be done some day. It is simply a question of how Boon. WHY TOMMY DID NOT HPKAK HIS PIECE.

There was such a lot ot people there And all the gaslights see Tied to stare And some one whispered: 'Hold up your And Don't be scared, somebody said. JLnd all of 'em clapped when I went In And somebody said 'Go on Begin Amd I lorgot every word I knew And all ot 'em laughed Boo oo oo oo." THE CITIZENS' LINE Formally Oooned to Steelton This Although cars were run to Steelton over the Citizens' line yesterday, the event was heralded with a great deal of enthusiasm in the Steel City, it was not until to day that the line was formally declared open. One of the large handsome cars was run from Third and Market to the present terminus in Steelton, and prominent as passengers were the officers of the company and representatives of the press. The line is in splendid working order, everything runs very smoothly, and the new tie that binds Harrisburg to Steelton bids far to be very extensively patronized. Outside of the pleasure of a ride over the well equipped line is the pleasure afforded those who enjoy fine scenery, the road running through some beautiful country.

It is proposed by the company in the near future to secure sufficient land for a picnic and pleasure park along the line that will be directly and quickly accessible to both Harrisburg and Steelton people.

That the sittings of the master in the equity suit brought by Madame Decca. against her husband for the purpose of establishing her claim to the property on North Front street above Calder, in which she is now residing, are attracting the attention of people not alone in Harrisburg, but other parts of the country as well, was amply evident this morning from a glance over the increased number of those who desired to know, see and hear just what was said and done by all the parties concerned. Although the hour was fixed at 9 a. m. it was crowding well on to an hour after before the direct examination of the plaintiff was resumed.

Decca Again on the Stand. In reply to Mr. Kunkel's inquiry Mrs. Chrisman said that hc husband paid no attention to her requests as to her earnings and expenditures. She metimes ascertained it by seeing the contracts.

What she had already stated as io the receipts from her recitals was estimated from remarks let drop by her husband. Her husband, she said, before marriage, replied to her requests for statements by telling her that it was none of her business. Then he was on his good behavior. After marriage his answers became more violent and ofttimes profane. Witness stated that her husband frequently told her that he proposed to save money for his baby (meaning her).

Witness said that the contracts for the Marine Band concert tours, Dallas tour Cincinnati engagements and New York Chautauqua concert were in her possession. She secured them from her husband's desk, which he had left unlocked for the first time since their marriage. She believed that her husband had a large number of bills in his possession, and occasionally was permitted to see them. She took no bills from his desk but a few memorandum books. Her attorney had instructed her to take everything relating to her business that she could find.

Mrs. Chrisman said that she rebelled constantly against the sending of her private letters and telegrams to the home of her husband's people. She was willing to swear, she said, that her mother inlaw opened a by so doing lost her an engagement. She dispensed with her manager on November 10th, last and on December 19th, after a long talk, her husband refused either to take a salary, commission or per centage as other managers did. Dr.

Ellenberger, her physician, had never advised her husband to go away, because of the condition of her health. "I do know," said witness, "that Dr. Ellenberger said to Mr. Chrisman "if you can't treat your wifeasa man should treat his sick and helpless wife, you had better go away," and Mr. Chrisman said "lam goinir away." "Did you hear Dr.

Ellenberger say that?" said Mr. Kunkel. "No, but Dr. Ellenberger told me." "Mr. Master, we object to that as hearsay evidence and ask that it be stricken out," said Mr.

Kunkel. The objection was noted. Counsel for Mr. Chrisman objected to Mr. Kunkel asking witness just how she divided the $340 sent to her father and aunt, Mrs.

Johnson. The objection was sustained. She gave the $100 to her father and her husband sent the balance. She sent $20 from Bloomington, to Bertha Chrisman, flG of which was to be paid on the mortgage of the house, and also $4 50 to pay a bill at Adams'. Fourteen of her letters, the witness stated, she compelled her husband to hand over to her by threats.

Most of the letters were from her aunt and were not requests for money. Three months after, when letters came into my possession, I asked my husband what it meant," said Mrs. Chrisman, "and he said that he didn't know, and as the letters were not such as would excite her, he had thought of course, Mr. Chrisman would not show them to her. I never saw those letters until January, although they were written in September and October.

He frequently insulted my mother. The master ruled that Mr. Kunkel could not inquire into the reasons for the mother of witness going on the trip. Then counsel for th? defence rested their side of the examination. PlalntlJTand Counsel Consult.

Then the plaintiff and her counsel held quite a consultation in another corner of the room and the latter announced that they would have to suspend the direct testimony for the present. Mr. Reigel, wno wanted to get away, was caned, he stated that he lived opposite Mr. Chris man's place on Tenth street, and had resided in Harrisburg for fifty odd years. Knew the entire Chrisman family for many years.

Had repaired the Chrisman house on North Front street, and came in contact with Leon Chrisman nearly every day. First began repairs in the middle of April, '92, and continued about five weeks, but would not be definite as to the time, Mr. 'Kunkel here objected to anything related about Mr. Chrisman paying money for improvements after the house was purchased. Witnesse stated that he heard Mr.

Chrisman say very frequently that Mrs. Chris man's money was paying for these improvements. He and Mr. Fecser were paid with money handed Mr. Chrisman by his wife.

Mr. Kunkel renewed his former objection to this last answer. Mr. Kerr, who had examined the witness, then concluded by going over to the witness and whispering in his ear, at the same time remarking, "In spite of the York ruling." Mr. Kunkel smiling replied "I thought you only did that with the'plaintiff.

In reply to Mr. Kunkel, witness stated that Mr. Chrisman father employed him but that the wife's wishes in regard to the improvements were always complied with. Messrs. J3glf and Myers, who were working for him at the time a'30 heard Mr.

Chrisman make the remark about the wife's money paying for the work. Mr. Reigel also did other work about the house. Witness stated that Mr. Chris man's father had told him that he was to be given a percentage for the purchase of the property.

Mr. Kunkel objected to this last statement, but Mr. Herr replied that he expected to hear that the old gentleman was acting as the agent of Mrs. Chrisman. Witness said that Mr.

Chrisman, asserted to him" while in the yard at the house that Mrs. Chrisman wanted to buy a place along the Hudson, but that they wanted Leon (meaning his son) to be at home; that Mre. Chrisman was making lots of money, was a spendthrift and they were afraid that nothinir would he 'eft. for either of the pair. Jn answer to redirect examination by Mr.

Herr, Mrs. Chrisman ctile'U that she and her husband had agreed at Cliautau aua. N. that Mr. Chrisman should have nothing but his expenses for his services as manager.

The step mother of witness was present when the contract was made, and expected to be present at the sitting. Kb? did the bebt she could to get some idea of what Uq was earning, and began to protest again this arrangement about two months bet jre their marriage. "Well, Mr. Master," said Mr. Herr, we are again put to the painful necessity of again asking for a continuance for various reasons.

This woman is compelled, throyigh the failure of her husband to fulfill his marital rights and duties, to earn a living for herself and now has an engagement to sing on Tuesday and will be away for the balance of the week. Any time after that we will be ready to go on with the sitting." "Our client is just as mujl: inconvenienced by this delay as the other side," spoke up Mr. Kunkel. "He has work at a distant point that requires his presence even now, and while it is true that he has not contributed anything to his wife's support since this unfortuuatc disagreement, that is neither here nor there. We have not asked for a continuance since the sitting first began, and are perfectly willing to go on with it, say on August 21st." This proposition was granted by the other side, and 10 o'clock on the morning of August 21st was fixed by the Master as the time for resuming the sitting in the law library.

Mr. Jacobs left at 12 :10 for HARRISBURG, SATURDAY EVENING, Halifax, where he sat as auditor to dis tribute the balance in the hands of Jacques W. Rouch, administrator of the estate of Susan Rouch. SABBATH SCHOOL ASSEMBLY. Election of officers at Williams' Grove Yesterday.

Mr. Cleveland gave Tammany another black eye to day when he appointed James Kilbreth, of New York, Collector of the Port of New York, and Walter II.

Bunn, of Coopers town, Appraiser of the Fort of New York. Both men are Anti Snappers. Kilbreth has affiliated with the county Democracy in New York. He was police judge for two terms and on the occasion of the investigation of some charges of bribery against Mayor Grant during the latter's term as sheriff it was Kilbreth who furnished some damaging testimony against him. This incurred for him the enmity of Tammany and he was shortly after defeated for police judge, Mr.

Kilbreth is a great friend cf Grace and ex Mayor Hewitt, the leaders of the Anti Snappers movement, as well as a warm personal friend of ex Secretary Whitney and the President. He is wealthy and is said to be an able lawyer. He is a brother in law of Gen. Felix Aaws, of the Baltimore American. Bunn, who was appointed Appraiser, is known as an anti IIill Democrat.

The general belief here is that both appointments will be exceedingly distasteful to Tammany. Paylnfj Out as Ifast as Asked For. Newakk, N. July 29. There was a slight run to day on the Howard Savings Institution qf iljis city.

TO ARRAIGN HOKE 8M1TH.

The Secretary' Pension Policy Arouses Ire In Ills Own Party. Washington, July 28. The coming Congress in its early days will afford the unusual spectacle of a Cabinet Minister being arraigned by his own party. Hoke Smith's pension policy is provoking the indignation of Democratic Congressmen throughout the North. The objection, as stated in these dispatches yesterday, is that he is putting the burden of proof upon pensioners to maintain their legal right to remain on the rolls.

It has been quietly arranged to hold a conference of Democratic Congressmen from Indiana, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin and other States early in the session, to devise some means of impressing Secretary Smith with the fact that he is seriously crippling the Democratic party. It is said that almost every community of the North is excited over the existing policy of dropping pensioners and allowing them sixty days to prove their claims. One of the most influential Democrats of the country said to day: "This thing must be stopped. We want fraudulent or illegal pensioners eliminated from the roll, but we cannot afford to have legal and honest pensioners harassed and put to the expense of again proving their claims. That would ruin the Democratic party." One phase of the proceeding which stirs the indignation of Democrats is that the very man, who, under the last administration, formulated the decisions which are now being reversed and put on the rolls many pensioners who are now being dropped is at the head of the present work.

His name is Van Miller, and he hails from New Jersey. He seems to have concluded that he would win the favor of Secretary Smith by undoing as much of his former work as possible. DRUNKEN PALL BEARERS. An Uncanny Scene Witnessed at a uurllnKton iruuoral. Burlington, July 28.

The funeral services over the remains of George Foulke, which took place in the High Street M. E. church to day, were made remarkable by the reckless manner in which drunken pall bearers juggled with the corpse. As the coffin was being carried into the church one of the pall bearers lost his grip on it, and the American flag which had been spread over the casket slipped off and became entangled in the feet of the pall bearers, and the corpse dropped heavily to the floor. The excitement created by this incident was allayed, and the services were quietly gone through with.

When the pall bearers lifted the casket to carry it from the church they again allowed it to slip from their grasp, and to the horror of the mourning friends and the congregation it fell face downward upon the floor. It was unceremoniously rolled over, right side up, and lifted, but before the door was reached one of the casket handles was wrenched off, aud again the dead body dropped heavily to the floor. The undertaker asserted himself so successfully that the journey to the grave was marked by no further un canny incidents. THE NAWAB AMAZES NEW YORK. Has a Speolal Cook and a Million Dollar Income.

The cause ot the banking is large stock of pig on band and the uncertainty of the market. The company nas sufficient pig piled in its yard and with No. 1 and 2 running to keep up the supply for some time. The management says as soon as the demands require it, I the furnaces will again be put in blast, out it does not propose to overstock with material that there is Ian uncertainty of using. Three hundred men lose situations by this banking, mostly of which is ordinary yard labor.

A large number of bricklayers and stone masons with their attendants will also be laid off, as the brick and masonry work of the new slab mill is completed, and only those necessary for repair work will be retained. In conversation with the management this morning, your representative learned that this depression of the trade was looked upon as of short duration and that business would pick up again, but in the meantime the company would guard against any sudden change and would only fill orders, not stock any finished material. In a few days the slab mill will be ready to run steady. Another test will be made this afternoon, as several changes have been made since yesterday, when the first teat was made. Changes in important positions at tha steel works will take effect Monday by Henry Souther, of the testing department, going to the Hope manufacturing company, of Connecticut, Frank 1).

DAVE HILL TALKS ON "PERSONAL LIBERT But Doesn't Say a Word Aliont Free Silver. Home, X. July 29. At a picnic of the Hop Brewers Association, at Sylva Beach to day, Senator David B. 11 ill made an eloquent address, his subject being "Personal Liberty." In the course of bis speech on Personal Liberty the Senator said the abuse of personal liberty by the citizen is always made tlie plausible pretext lor its pronioi tion or restriction, lie said the old argu ment was a fallacy which contended that because mc man indulged bis appetite to excess the manufacture and sale of what he ate or drank should be prevented or restricted.

Continuing he said here are those whose views are so extreme that they would oppose the raising ot bops because such production facilitates the manufacture of beer. Thev seem deaf to the fact that hops must be i uixiocu to vc parucirouii in wutirnr evils to the inordinate use of any article into whose manufacture tcey largely enter. They forget further the fact that hop raising is an honorable occupation and a vast industry which furnishes em ployment to thousands of people and ab sorbs much capital in the transaction of its business in the markets of the world. It may be suggested that to be consistent in their inconsistency that they should go further and insist upon some restrictions on the raising of rye and corn, because they constitute of the ingredients which enter into the manufacture of liquors, aai are necessarily tarnished wim or in some degree responsible for evils which pertain to the intemperate use of such liquors. They would prohibit or restrict the manufacture of tobacco because foolish men and silly boys sometimes smoke too much.

They would curtail numerous innocent amusements because they are often times carried to excess. A rOOLISH Vamic Kan on Bank But All Got Their Money. Yorxosrowx, Jnly 29.
