100. Established 1831. HE WAS RIGHT, THE RECORDER'S GOOD DEED No Marriage License When the Bride Objects. Recorder Hbrshey was right when he yesterdav refused to issue a marriage license in a case where the girl was under age and protested that she did not want to get married, and she would never get married if she had to take for a companion the man her father waa trying to force upon her. The father showed all the cunning of his race in trying to wheedle his daughter into agreeing to marry the man, and all the cruelty when he threatened her.

A license is3ued after the girl had made her tearful and pitiful protest would have been an outrage, and Kecorder Her shey was quick to see this. He is to be commended for his firm stand, aud his courage in defying the father's bluff to take the matter into court is characteristic. No court in the State would compel an official to issue a marriage license under the circumstances, and the Recorder's bold and manly stand showed that he was willing to fight the case as a matter of principle. How different was his courageous action from that taken by a Philadelphia official some months ago. As in the Har risburg case, the Philadelphia girl protested against the issuing of the license, begged, pleaded and cried, and declared that she did not love the man and she would never marry him, but the official issued the license, and he fit a red hot roasting from all the Pbila elphia newspapers for his unmanly act.

Fortunately, in the Philadelphia case, the minister before whom the couple were taken to be married had good common sense and an idea of fairness, and when the girl made her tearful protest to him he promptly refused to perform the ceremony. The man who was refused a license in this city yesterday cannot get a license as long as the girl protests, and he cannot get married in this county without a license. Furthermore, Recorder Hershey will keep an eye on the applications for licenses that come through justices of the peace and others, and if the names of those rejected yesterday come before him, he will do a little investigating. Gossip witnessed an interesting incident on Chestnut street, Philadelphia, recently. The street is being paved with asphalt, and in tearing up the roadbed considerable lumber was found beneath the cobblestones which had been placed there as a protective box for pipes.

This lumber nobody had any use for and it was given to whoever would take it. The Italians of the poor class jumped at the chance to get firewood, and a3 fast as the lumber was torn op it was carried away by Italian women. Not by men, but by worn A big, robust Italian would make up a bundle of wood heavy enough to stagger a mule, and then, with another Italian's help, he would lift it up and an Italian woman would balance it on her head and walk off with a staggering, unsteady gait. The men were callous to the guying and jeering of the Americans who stood around and noted this singular division of labjr, but the Italians only laughed. Coi.

Josh D. Baker, manager of the Hotel Lafayette, Philadelphia, is always ready with a new story, but they are telling one on him now that he tries to get away from. The Lafayette is headquarters for foreign diplomats who run over to Philadelphia from Washington, and not long ago the Corean ambassador and his suite were registered under Col. Mallhy's roof. The strange visitors attracted a great deal of attentiou socially and were the recipients of many social favors from Philadelphians.

In return they gave a reception at the Lafayette, and CuL Baker, who knows everybody, was master of cer monies and introduced the guests. It chanced that a shirt manufacturer who numbered Col. Baker among his patrons, was one of the callers, and, while his face was familiar to the Colonel, he could not recall his name to present him. 'What's the name?" asked Col. Baker.

The man thought be was joking; he couldn't realiz: that his name had been forgotten, and he answered in a whisper, "Made your shirts. Tiie Colonel straightened up and announced in his tender baritone "Major Schurtz," and the next minute the "Major" was shaking hands with the ambassador. Colonel Baker won't admit the truth of this, but claims it was one of his own little jokes, but nobody will believe that he could joke with such a serious and important personage as a Corean ambassador.

DEM CUBANS WIS. Superior Base Running and Fleldlne Did the Business.

E3TERDAY it was the turn of the Cuban Giants' admirers to yell and they took advantage of their opportunity. Selden was strong at critical )oints in the game and to this and the superior fielding and base running of the dusky Cu bans, the Harrisburgs owe their defeat. Mackey pitched a good game but made a couple of damaging errors. In the Har risburg's last half, with three on bases; it looked squally for the Cubans, but Selden's nerve did not desert him and he retired the side, leaving the locals two runs in the rear.

Billy Sharsig's Indianapolis team opened the Western League season well yesterdav by defeating Grand Rapids 9 3.

ilarrisburg will play at WiluamsDort Monday. Tyrone has no club this year.so a game could not be arranged for Tuesday there. It is said that Reading and Allentown have not yet came to time with their protection assessments. And May but a week off. Meanywas substituted for Mackey at the bat in the ninth inning, and Pitcher Selden not wishing to take any risks with the hard hitting son of Erin, gave him nis base on Dana.

Baldwin's eye still troubles him and Manager Huston decided this morning to go behind the bat himself and put Pitcher Meany on third base. Jack says backstop work is not new to him. Nelson, of the Cuban Giants, put up his "dukes" and danced around Huston like a wild man yesterday, imagining the latter intended to strike him. The crowd expected a fight, but Huston was too much of a gentleman to pay any attention to Ntlson's warlike attitude. Here is Buffalo's batting order: Daily, If; Smith, 3b; Griffin, cf; Drauby.

To morrow another meeting of the gentlemen interested in the conversion of Huffman's woods into a Midway Plaisance will be held at the Commonwealth Hotel, when an organization will doubtless be effected and other details perfected. George Campbell who don't know George waa rooting for Uarrisburg yesterday.

Charley Fisher who don't know Charley took exceptions to this and so told George after the game. But bo eloquently did George defend his position in the wordy argument that ensued that Fisher extended his hand, exclaiming: "I I I'll give in. Ha a a have one on me." BE OH THE WATCH. BAYS HICKS. May to Produce a Few More or Less Heavy Storms.

Here is Hicks on May weather: The month opens at the end of April's closing storm period, with storm disturbances disappearing in extreme eastern parts of the country, and cooler weather prevailing in central and western sections. An equinox of Mercury is central on the 3d, and will cause cloudiness and tendency to continued drizzle. In the extreme North sleet need not prove a surprise. By the 4th decided change to warmer will develop in the West, and during the 5th to 7th reactionary storms will pass over the country, being central about the time of new moon on the 5th. A sharp change to cooler will follow the disturbances at this time, with strong probabilities of frost along the northern side of the country from about 7th to 10th.

From 10th to 14th is the next regular period of change and storm. A very warm wave is apt to appear by the 11th in western regions, and during the three days next following storms of much energy and wide scope will traverse the country from west to east. Another very cool wave for the season will come in behind the storms, causing several days of much cooler weather in the country generally. Heavy rains may reasonably be expected during the last named disturbances, namely, about the 11th, 12th and uiu, during which time a series ot daily stormp, recurring nisar the same time of lay, or night, for several days need not b3 unlooked for. Watch barometers, temperature and direction of wlod if barometer fails to rise after one storm passes.

wiuu bun in east, ana south, expect another storm from the west, and so on until conditions change. The cool weather following the storms of the last period will give place to warmer, and secondary storms will anneax In mnnv places about the 17th and 18th. imm.li. ately after which tho barometer will rise rapidly to a very high reading, attended by a sharp chance to cooler. From 21st to 25th falls the next storm period, during which time it will grow very warm, and many storms of rain, thunder and wind will appear.

In all these disturbances the intelligent use of the barometer and correct observation of wind currents will foreshadow with much cer tainty the coming and the in tensity of storms. About the 27ih and 28th will be central the last disturbances for May, bringing fair and cooler days and nights for the closing month. In tha nature of things, May must bring uiuru or less violence, in a meteorological way, but there is a marked absence of disturbing causes, so far as other planets are concerned. There are reasons to believe that storms will not be unusually frequent and heavy; but it will be the part of prudence to watch them all, and bo prepared iodine rciuge irom all that may carry in their cloudy folds the deaolatora of towns and hearts and homes.

STATE HOSPITAL, VIEW OF THE NEW BUILDING Progress of the Work at the Hospital for the Insane. A Telegraph reporter in conmany wiVh Supt. Orth, Architect Addison Hutton and Contractor Coder, of Nesbit Coder, of Pennsylvania State World's Fair building fame, crawled over brick piles and mortar and clambered up tetery ladders at the State Lunatic Hospital's new $100,000 administration building for an hour or two this morning. The structure, as far as the exterior goc3, is almost completed, in fact only waits the putting on of the slate roof. The foundations were laid during the latter part of October, and in the six months since that time the work has been pushed rapidly.

As it stands now, the finishing touches will be added in September next. The old building with its white dome that has been a conspicuous land mark for so many years will be torn down as scon as the new one is ready for occupancy. It has been condemned as unsafe, the walls being strained and cracked, and the whole framework unstable. The new building is a handsome one, situated on an elevation overlooking the city and directly between the two tree lined sloping driveways that, wind up around either side of the asylum grounds. It is three stories high, of Steelton machine made brick, with Hummelstown brownstone trimmings.

In front is a covered brick driveway supported by columns of brownstone with a brownstone tablet over the doorway. The inscription for the latter has not as yet been decided upon, but it will probably be only the date of erection. On entering the vestibule, to the right, is the steward's room, the visitors' waiting room being directly opposite across the hall. Offices, officers' dining room and toilet rooms occupy the rest of the first floor, the kitchen being located in the north wing. There are large bay windows at either side.

The second floor is taken up en tirely with bed rooms and four bath rooms. Dr. Orth's residence is upon the third floor, where there are four bed rooms, a dining room, library, sewing room, three toilet rooms and servants' quarters. At the top of the building, sixty five feet from the ground, will be an observatory, to take the place of the old dome, commanding a superb view of the surrounding country. Everything about tha building is up to date.

Hollow terra cotta brick flooring is used entirely, there will be an elevator run by water power, direct indirect steam heating will warm tho interior, and the electric light wires will be inside the walls. The cellar bricks have been laid with mortar composed of two parts of sand to one of cement. The mortar used for the upper stories is made of one fifth lime paste, one fifth cement and three fifths sand. The slate roof will be put on next week. OFF FOB YORK.

A Little Councllmanle Junket at tlie Expense or a uie company. About 11:15 this morning a delegation of well dressed gentlemen could be seen leaving the court house headed for the Union station. They were members of the Finance Committees of Councils and other city officials, and they were on their way to York to inspect the woik so far performed on the new 8,500 pound safe, that the York safe and lock company is constructing for the city treasurer's office. This safe is to cost $558, delivered in the office, and its inside dimensions arc to be as follows: Height, CO inches; width, 30 inches; depth, 20 inches. It has not been put together as yet, and the company has asked the officials down to inspect the burglar proof plates aud filling, and wit ness a test of the same.

It may bo well to mention right here that the company is to pay the expenses of the trip. Tho safe will be delivered about May 20th. Just glance over this array of local talent that moved majestically oa York, there to be met by open barouches, driven to the Colonial Hotel for dinner, taken to the safe works and finally back to the station in time to catch the early train for Uarrisburg. There were City Treasurer McKee, Select Councilman C. L.

Rudy, Common Councilmen Hess, Eberly, Schrivcr. Battis and Royal and Clerks Miller and Knisely, and all were in a mood befitting the occasion. An unfettered press correspondent accompanied the party and here are a few of his bulletins: Bridgeport, 11:08 a.

Rudy is now engaged in an earnest effort to convince the Common Councilmen that the upper branch statesmen ought to be treated with more consideration by the gentlemen of the other branch of the city legislature. All the Common Councilmen are talking at him. York Haven, 11:15 Intense excitement. Several armed men greeted the incoming train. Explained that rumors of Coxey's army coming had caused much unrest in the vicinity.

Requested the party to stay in the car. Mount Wolf, 11:50 Residents of the town appeared with a band. Upon being informed that Mayor Kby was not with the party a riot ensued and the train left the village in the hands of an excited mob.

The petition sets forth that the petitioners are stockholders in the corporation, and that each owns twenty shares of stock that they have frequently demanded of the directors, officers, secretary treasurer and general manager, who held these respective offices prior to the 27th of February, 1891, a list of the stockholders and have been refused; that each of the petitioners paid $1,000 for their stock and hav8 reason to believe that the stock issued to other stockholders was without any consideration in some cases, and that in other cases for materials furnished the company at exorbitant prices; that said issue of stock was a fraud upon the petitioners and other legitimate stockholders; that the officers have grossly and extravagantly mismanaged the affairs of the company and have refused to make any accurate detailed statement of the receipts and disbursements of the company; that the officers have purchased land upon which to lay their water pipes and have paid for the same the sum of $0,000, which was a fraud upon the company because the price paid was exorbitant and far beyond the value of the land purchased that the officers purchased supplies and labor necessary for the construction of the plant and charged the company in excess of the amounts actually paid that they bought the stock of the old Williamstown water company and sold the same to the new company at an advance of the amount paid by them that they have demanded time and again an inspection of the books and papers of the company, and have been denied any information as to the business of the ccmpany and any inspection of the books tnd papers.

Accompanying the petition are the affidavits of the petitioners in substantiation of their affidavits. Ex Senator Thompson is president of the company, and II. G. Williams, secretary, treasurer and geniral manager. Several Opinions.

Judge Simonton handed down several opinions to day in local cases. In the case of Minnie Keller agaicst the East Harrisburg Railway Company, motion of judgment non obstante veredicto, the Court decides that there is uo evidence in the case that the plaintiff is liabl 3 to the physician for the $200 charged for his services and is not entitled to judgment for this part of the verdict; but directs judgment to be entered against the defendant for $500 as damages for the injary complained of. In the case of Mary U. Simon against Annie E. Simon and others, exceptions to the master's report, the Court Fustains the exceptions and dismisses the appeal at the cost of the plaintiff.

Judge Simonton says he fails to find in the facts as found by the master cr in the testimony such evidence of undue influence as would warrant the setting aside of the cd in question.

The Ex Bandit King Charged With Hobblng a Ballroad Station. Lancaster, April 25. Abe Buzzard, the ex king of Welsh Mountain outlaws, was arrested to day in Reading and brought here in shackles. He and his companion, Dan Weinhold, are charged with cracking the safe in the Downlng town and Lancaster railroad station last month, and with opening many letters in the post office. Esaias Louckhoff, an old member of the Buzzard gang of outlaws; Cyrus Sardoe and Henry Patton, Welsh moutaineers, were arrested for the crime and Louckhoff was convicted.

He was sentenced last week to six years in the Eastern Penitentiary, and was taken down there to day. After his conviction Louckhoff admitted that he had driven the team to the station for the men who had robbed it, and these he confessed were Abe Buzzard and Dan Weinhold. Other witnesses have been found by whom it can be proved that these two were on the Welsh mountains the day and night of the robbery. They have been living on the hills. near Ephrata recently, but yesterday morning Buzzard's household goods were loaded on a wagon and taken to Reading.

Officers from this city went there to day and found Buzzard and Weinhold in a saloon. Abe was looking for a boarding place for his family. Before he knew what was coming the handcuffs were slipped upon his wrists. Weinhold jerked out a revolver and was about to defend himself. He was overpowered and the weapon was taken from him.

Buzzard claims he is innocent. When brought here his lawyer was quickly summoned, and they held a long conference. The officers claim that they have the strongest kind of evidence against the accused. This unique ex bandit king is 41 years old and has been in prison for twenty years. Since he was pardoned last year from the penitentiary Buzzard has been preaching and lecturing.

He was arrested last October on the strength of a confession made by his brother Mart, on the charge of robbing the house and shooting Isaiah Sheafer at Groffdale. He was freed of this charge, and Mart is now serving a term of sixteen years in the penitentiary for the crime. It is said that Abe will again be called on to face this old charge. TO SUIT ALL DEMOCRACY. Senator Brlce Says They've Got a Tariff Bill Which Will Pass.

Washington, April 25. "We have got a tariff bill which will pass," said Senator Bricc, of Ohio, to day. "It will go through early in June, or, perhaps, before that; at least as sonn as the Republicans can get through talking. The bill which has been agreed upon is one which will receive the support of the entire Democratic ty in the Senate. It has been made up by Secretary Carlisle, representing the administration, and who has had frequent consultations with the President and Senator Jones, representing tho Finance Committee, Senators Cockrell, Gorman, myself and others, who have interested themselves, and the result has been a bill which will meet the approval of the Democratic Senate." Senator Brice was asked as to specific items in which it is supposed changes have been made, and said that be could give no specific changes.

If those having actual charge of the matter cared to make known the changes they might, but he did not care to say anything about them. "We have taken the Senate bill, the McKinlcy bill, the Mi ls bill and such information as has beeu furnished and made a tariff Li 1 that will pass." "How will it be brought into the Sec att?" "The changes will be in the form of amendments offered as Finance Committee amendments to tho pending bill, and will be supported by the Democrats of the Sinate." Asked further as to details Senator Brice said he could not give them. As for himself he had not asked a thing or undertaken to dictate a single schedule. "I have aimed," said he, "lo secure a reduction of about 30 per cent, from the McKinlcy law, and that is about what the reductions will average." "The income tax will stay he was asked. "Yes; with some changes and limitations." Continuing.

Senator Brice said: "When the bill passes it will go to conference. A strong conference committee will be named, and there will no doubt be some changes made, but in the end a bill will pass. Then the Democratic party will have redeemed the three principal prom ist sit made tbe repeal of the silver purchase act, the repeal of election laws and the enactment of a reform tan If measure.

OUR WASHINGTON SPECIAL. Tbe Rebel Brigadier and. the Tariff for I te venue. Washington, April 26. The ex rebel Democrats are giving a practical illustration of history repeating itself.

In 18G0 the Democratic fire eaters bullying around until they found that they could not have their own way, the people of the north having repudiated them, and then started in to break up the Union, in which undertaking they found themselves soundly thrashed. The men who did their best to destroy the government, and are now the beneficiaries of its humane methods, are again treatening revolution if they are lo be blocked in their effort to pass their tariff for revenge. The Republicans of the Senate are not to be driven into acquiescence in the methods of revolutionizing the methods of the Senate. By this means the ex Rebels expect to pass their tariff for revenge. It is apparent that some stirring scenes will transpire if they attempt it.

It is very doubtful whether the Democrats could bold their vote on such an issue, as no Northern Democrat can live under such a direct blow at the interests of his people and established methods. It is certain that exciting times are ahead. Representative Beltzhoover, who has been quite ill at his home, in Carlisle, is again in his 6eat. His health is not at all good.

Its leaders gave it out that the train would remain at Forsythe until morning.

In the meantime Colonel Page, of Fort Keogh, had secured a special train and was thuadering down the road to meet the train stealing contingent.
