AN ABTIST'S ENTHUSIASM One of the Beautitul Myers of the World. Gossip was talking to an artist the other day who waxed very enthusiastic over our river. Slid he, "The Susquehanna is one of the most beautiful rivers in the world. It is not grand but it is picturesque and charming. One of its most striking characteristics, is its Changeableness.

Yesterday I could barely see the islands, there was a dense fog overall the landscape; the mountains seemed gigantic behind their veil; there were all sorts of odd little nooks and recesses up the river at which one could just hazard a guess, for nothing was clearly defined. "How to day you see the atmosphere is clear; why, I can count fifty shades of green, and I can look off into all the sur roanding counties. There are just enough houses across the river and on the little islands to give the whole thing a pic turesque effect. A man need not idealize this river. He can take it just as it is.

He can't improve it. I could make a dozen pictures from the same spot here, all so different that you would not imagine them to be the same view. Of course I should choose different seasons of the year and different atmospheric conditions, but one can never wear out the Susquehanna. "Every time I go riding I find new bits of landscape that I can work up. My sketch book now is full of drawings of scenes along the Susquehanna.

Every one would make a good picture if properly worked up, but I should neel to live to Methuselah's good old age to paint all my studies of this river." Gossip has always thought that the Susquehanna was just about as fine a river as one could find anywhere, and he is glad to be confirmed in his faith by an extensive traveler and a first class artist. Ths. fact that splendid peaches are grown in the yard attached to the county prison recalls to Gossip's mind a story. It was in the September following the railroad riots of 1877, and some twenty or thirty of the alleged rioters in this city were in the jail. From their cell windows they could see the magnificent peaches growing ripe every day, and they laid plans to get some, albeit they had been promised by the warden that when the fruit was ripe they should share it.

They didn't want peaches that way afraid they wouldn't get enough or something. Ho they rigged up a couple of bags and attached ropes to them, and one evening while a few of the prisoners were exercising in the jail yard, with nobody to watch them, the men in the cells let down the bags frem their cell Windows. In a twinkling the men in the yard had scutched the tree of its finest fruit, given the order to hoist and in a short time every man along the tier of cells was reveling in luscious peaches. And, althoug an investigation was made over the disappearance of the fruit, the depredators were never discovered. "On, man with lengthy, (lowing hair.

NOTHING FOR THEM TO DO Democrats Who Will Merely Ratify a Programme. The delegates to the Democratic State Convention to morrow will have nothing do.

They are in the same class as the men who are out of work by the closing of mills and workshops, but the delegate not out of work for the same reason. He belongs to the army of the unemployed because his work has been done for him, and he has nothing to do but to sit in convention to morrow, look wise and nod his head in approval of the programme that has been prepared, and which, of course, he must carry through. There are a good many of the hungry and, we might add, the thirsty Democrats here who have been lingering on the outer edge of the Cleveland pie counter, with their backs to the wall, waiting for the beckoning finger to call them up to get a choice cut of the pie, and because of the expectancy of getting the pie are they so willing to do the work of those who have prepared the programme. All day long they thronged the corridors of the State Department to get their orders, and they took them, for with the taking they clinched the chance for pie. If any Democrat comes here as a delegate with the idea that he is going to do something original, he will find himself on the outer edge, not within range of the presiding officer's eye, and his voice will be stilled by the oratory of the many young and sophomoric delegates who have been tolled off to say this or that, and who will be glad of the opportunity to show their loyalty to the machine by word of mouth.

Be it undersVxid that to morrow's convention will be composed of an entirely new set of Democrats who have been rounded up to the discomfiture of the old war horses. The war horses will not be here. To be sure there will be a few old timers, but they are the ones who saw the drift of affairs and got in out of the wet under Mr. Harrity's umbrella. They are credited with knowing a sure and safe thing when they see it, and they can determine a pie dispenser at the distance of a mile or more.

The ticket to be nominated to morrow will read like this: Supreme Judge, Samuel Gustine Thompson, of Philadelphia; State Treasurer, Frank C. Oaburn, of Allegheny. Mr. Thompson is now on the bench, appointed by Governor Pat tison. Mr.

Osburn but who is Osburn that he should presume to run against a gallant old soldier like Col. Samuel Jackson, the Republican nominee? The Convention will be called to order at noon to morrow in the Opera House. Notwithstanding the cons ndent assurances of mate Chairman Wright that the gathering will be large, the outlook tor a big convention is any thing but lavorable. chairman Harrily and Chairman Wright came to town on the same train last night, but up to noon to day the delegates and onlookers were few and tar between. Jf rank Os burn.

of Pittsburg, who expects to be the nominee for State Treasurer, regis tered at the Commonwealth early this morning. He was accompanied by ex Postmaster, and willing to be the next postmaster, John B. Larkin, of the etmoky City, and Geo. A. Fleming, a prominent Democrat of the same city.

A few newspaper men have also arrived, but they have difficulty keeping awake. It is expected that the delegates will all be here by to night. Under the present rules the convention will be composed of 4C2 delegates. Mr. Harrity thinks it will be one of the most harmonious Democratic gatherings in the history of the party.

He says the party is thoroughly united, and it is pro nosed to keei) it in that nleasanl stale. Regarding the platform, he said the Re publican declarations on the linance would be met, and the demand for $40 per capita would be raised to $75 or a $100 perhaps. Another leader said the platform would be short and the point. The Senate at Washington will be urged to pass the Sherman repeal bill, and an effort will be made to shift the responsi bility for the present business depression to the llepublican party. Charles W.

Raymond, of Dauphin, who was thought to be the favorite for Treasurer, has dropped out of the contest and will be satisfied with a Federal ap pointment. Ex Senator Hannibal K. Sloan, of Indiana, will also likely keep out of the wet. A meeting of the Executive Committee will be held during the afternoon te consider the report of the sab committee on revision of the rules, which report will be submitted to the State Committee at a meeting to be held in the Board of Trade rooms this evening. Chairman Wright says the most important change proposed in the present rules is that affecting the organization of the county committees.

Now the county chairmen, who compose the State Committee, are elected on different dates, and it is proposed to secure uniformity in the matter of organization by fixing the time for the election of chairmen the first Monday of January or April. It is also proposed to place the election of the member of the national committee in the control of the delegates to the National Convimtion. Under the present rules it is difficult to determine the authority. Mr. Harrity was chosen a mem ber by the State committee, the executive committee and the State Convention.

It i further proposed to reduce the number of delegates in State conventions by changing the basis of representation. At present there is a delegate for every one thousand voters, and one additional delegate for a a fraction exceeding five hundred. It is proposed to increase these figures to 1,500 and 750. Another change will provide that the Hixccutive Uommiltee shall meet on the evening before the State Conven tion and the temporary officers of the c6nvention, which has here tofore been done by the State Chairman. Still another change will provide that members of the State Committee shall be chosen on the basis of the Democratic vote one member for every ten thousand votes instead of one for each Senatorial district.

Berks with its big Democratic vote has but one mem ber under the the present rules and Lan caster with its large Republican majority has two. Chairman Wright has headuuartca at the Commonwealth, but he is not overrun ith visitors, lie thinks the revision of the rules an important feature of the con vention work, probably as important the nomination of candidates.

They Want Leelslatlon Favorable to 'jHeoi ana 1 1 1 ihko i rt i iiie Primaries Harrlsbnrg Officers.

Yesterday a Pennsylvania branch of the Steam Railroad Men's Union was organ ized in the hall of the House ol Repre sentatives by Supreme President Benjamin E. Chapin, of Newark, N. and Su preme General Secretary Charles A. Heller, of Hoboken, N. J.

About 200 delegates were present from all parts of the State, representing the seven important railroad men's fraternities. Supreme President Chapin stated that the talk of a great consolidation scheme of all the brotherhoods was silly and without the slightest foundation in fact. He said no strke was contemplated in the movement, but that it really had for its purpose the doing away with strikes. He declared the objects of the Union to be the securing of legislation favorable to railroad employes by supporting candidates for Congress and the Legislature favorable to their interests, and to take an active part in politics, irrespective party lines. He stated that the Union comprises a National and State Board, which send out circulars to congressional and legislative candidates requesting written answers as to their attitude on questions relating to railway employes.

No verbal promises are taken. Candidates must sign or refuse to sign, and these answers are then communicated to the various subordinate lodges. The National Board recommends the election or rejection of certain candidates. A blue book, be says, is placed in the hands of every railroad man, containing a record of all members of the Legislature on railway legislation. The convention met in themorning and heard us from committees and various brotherhoods embraced in the Union.

This letter was read from Mayor Eby: "Your official invitation to attend a uuion meeting at the hall of the State Legislature, Sunday, September 17th, in my possession. My presence will not assure you more earnestly the welcome our citizens desire to extend to a body of men employed and banded together as your emblem designates. Our city is just suited to such a gathering, being accorded the great railway center of the State, and you will find many following the hazardous occupation extending you the hand of fellowship. The dav is certainly appropri ate, and I hope your deliberations and ac tions will conform and go out to your members as beneficial, spreading good tid ings of the work for which you are assembled. Wishing you a session harmonious and or extreme usefulness to your cause.

it AN ERBIHG WOMAN. Ilarrlsbnrir Girl's Fast Career. Robbed or Diamonds After Death. New Yokk, Sept. 18.

Mystery and ro mance surrounds the lire ot beautitul Madge Gurney, who died in the Milburne flats a month ago. She was one of the most familiar afternoon strollers on Broadway, a devotee of pleasure and mammon. All her belonging are unclaimed, and the Public Administrator has been asked to take charge ot them. But her most precious possessions during her life are missing her diamonds.whicu were the talk or her associates, ana were probably worth $5,000. As the story goes, a young man who had presented the diamonds to her and is now Itightly pressed for money took them from her rooms.

There was an air of mystery about her death at first. Her life came to an end two days after the death of a broker to whom she was greatly attached, and it was said she killed herself in grief. But was soon shown that heart disease and Bright's diseaee carried her off, and that she had made no attempt on her life. Very few of her friends were acquainted with the fate of this dashing woman's career. She was only known as a lively and beautiful member of the fast set.

Her age was estimated at between 28 and 32 years. Her real name was Myra Madeline Lauscbe, and she was born in Harrisburg, the eldest daughter ot a prominent lumber merchant. Before she was out of her teens she was sent to Denver, to separate her from a young scicty man of Philadelphia who leu in love with ner and displayed symptoms of insanity. in iJenver she was married io jonn 11. Gurney, a mining engineer.

After living together a few years, Gurney discovered that his wife was contracting tue opium habit. He spent two years trying to wean her from it, and finally left her and went to JSuroDe. where, it is said, ne still lives. although she once coolly remarked to a well known club man, between tne puns of her cigarette: Oh, John cut his throat in raris alter I wrote a chilly letter to hiin She came to this city alter her husoand left her, and assumed the uame of Madge Gurney.

Her last favorite was a young business man who visited her at the Mill burne, where she died, and who, it i said took the lewels he had presented to her.

Ganoe In 111 due Avenue Church. To an audience tilling the auditorium to the doors Rev. M. L. Ganoe delivered a masterly sermon last night, the reverend gentleman selecting as his text Isaiah 30:20.

The speaker prefaced his discourse by say ing it man scriptural duty tor man to think and do as he chooses, and instead of adversity bringing us to insane efforts should rather bring us to a careful reflec tion of affairs. A Christian's duty is to consider the affairs of the hour. Not withstanding the numerous stringencies in the past hundred years there was nothing to the prosperity bestowed upon us bv our great Aiasier. uut men will deride what God has given, and will endeavor to sacrifice His works to selfish ends, especially has man tried to dispense with the Sab bath, the foundation of our institutions. Mo man can tell positively what causes the present depression.

While conscience abides all persons must look beyond human cause for the present troubles. God's ways in this world are mightier than ours, man has no resources in himself, but must have his trust in God. And all who trust In Him will, according to 1 lis promise, give us bread in our adversity. Adversity is simply the evidence of the Father's love to man. His plan for our highest good.

God brings adversity to test our being. Adversity is brought on man to strengthen him. God uses ad versify to make our lives, who trust him. all the more prosperous in the future. Take a man's life and place it into God's hands.

He will bring it out into a bright ness of prosperity, though characterized by the vicissitudes of life. He who feeds the sparrows will feed all who trust im plicitly in Him. FALSE ALARMS. Caune or the Itlniclnie In tlio Klre Ku IClne Mouses Discovered To dny. For several weeks the various companies ot the city nre department have been called out by the striking of alarms which could not be traced.

The cause of the trouble was discovered this morning to be the wire leading lrom box 10, at Cameron street, to box 53, at Ninth and Hemlock streets. The wire runs across the canal at that point, and extends along the opposite bank. A short distance from the canal bridge a warehouse was recently erected by John Holler. When the structure was put up, by some neglect or oversigkt the fire alarm wire was roofed over. The wire lies close to tho rain spouting of the roof, which is i.self made of corrugated iron, and the close contact of the wire makes a grounded circuit.

The slightest breakiug of the circuit then causes a false a'arm of tire, even the slight motion of the wire caused by the wind being sufficient to set the bells at the various euginehouses ringing. The wire will be cut out and a new one strung on poles to take its place. The system, as a whole, is now in excellent condition. Hoc I in and Music ale.

ROMANCE A PEN PICTURE, DEATH AND MISERY THERE Hoke Smith the Cause ot the Frightful Suffering at the Opening of the Cherokee Strip.

The Telegraph has received the follow ing letter from Capt. John C. Delaney, of this city, who for several years has been connected with the land office in Oklahoma City. It is a graphic pen picture of the wrongs and sufferings inflicted upon home seekers by the scheming rebel Hoke Smith, who now rattles around as Secre tary of the Interior in Cleveland's Cabi net. It should be read by everybody: Oklahoma City, O.

14, 1893. Dear Telegraph: Have you ever felt so indignant over a foul deed that you could not find words sufficiently emphatic, cutting and bitter, to express your feelings That is the frame of mind and heart in which your humble friend has been for days and is ex peri encing this bright September morning. And if my indignation is so strong situated here as 1 am in a pleasant quiet office what in heaven's name must be the feelings of the 100,000 or more poor men and women who are forced to stand, sit or lie in duet eight to ten inches deep all along the south and norih border of th3 famous Cherokee strip? I use the word forced, for be it known that Hoke Smith's orders are that no one can secure a home in the strip unless they register at one of bis booths. I he Cherokee strip is 250 miles long by GO miles wide. On the north line five booths are established and on the south line four; thus you will see the absurdity on the face of it, as the booths on the north line are over 50 miles apart and on the south over t0 miles.

A nasty calculation will demonstrate the utter impossibility for 27 men (three in each of the nine booths) to register more than one person per minute, which in the five days and a half before the opening makes the maxi mum number registered less than 30.UO0, and the registration up to date proves the above figures. The question is asked on all sides, why wa such an outrageous method adopted? And on all sides one car hear different motives, but on no side and from no lips can be heard but one opinion, and I regret to say that every expression of hatred against Hoke Smith and the administra tion is accompanied with an oath or epi thet ol" cruel blasphemy venture to assert that never in the same number of hours was so much sin committed in the way of blasphemy such as been ut tered by men and women against the ad ministration of Air. Cleveland, aud Hoke Smith in particular. One hour at Or lando, ou the south side of the strip, and another at Arkansas City, on the north. during the past forty eight hours wiuld rack the heart and shock the seu.se of any man or woman with the least regard for Christianity.

JNo tongue can tell or pen portray the true situation along the north and south lines of the Cherokee strip. With dust in most places a foot deep and as fine as the finest Hour, with the hottest wind and the most scorching sun felt in the past six months, and In many places no water' for man or beat. At i xt. yesterday the thermometer registered in this olllce 103, and so hot and swift did the wind blow that the greenest of leaves in its path were withered. So dense was the dust along the lines that a man could not recognize b'ui brother ten feet away.

That this I scheme of Mr. Smith's is a fraud and a snare to cover up some dark hidden bcheme a scheme or lob to favor the pets of Mr. Smith there is no doubt in tho minds of any one of the 100,000 people on the strip rnes. Ho utter a con tempi have those wretched people for the aead ot the Interior Department that every measly, mangy, cur is called "Hoke" or llokey. If a man has a spavened.

raw boned horse or mule you are sure to hear him sing out, "Uet up there vou Hoke. A woe begone, haggard looking old colored man limping along past the Orlanda booth. men and women sang out in chorus. lieiio there lloke, when you come to town, whare vou gwine lloke I'oke omithctt I he old darkey turned on the crowd and said: "Look heal), boss, what you want insult me fo' Any one you while trash come out heah I will break you nose; I ain no Hoke Smith; 1'se a Christian man, so I am. and don't you call me by dat name again, for he not as good as an ole spit cat in a back ya'd.

Yesterday three men dropped lead in the line at Arkansas City, four at llennesey, four at Colorado aud two at Stillwater, and hundreds carried away by ineir menus in a most pitiable condition. many of them to die before the lCih. To day a prominent Democrat said to me. Captain, I believe Hoke Smith put up a job on you Kcpublicans to beat you in the lirrttory, but this booth business has killed him deader thau a salted mack erel." Possibly the above declaration is the nearest to the truth of any yet uttered. Behind the booth infamy is a scheme to colonize the strip by Mississippi, Georgia, Noulli Carolina and Alabama Colonels.

A brief study of the Secretary's plan will nake it most plausible and easy. The booths are in the hands of his trusted lieutenants, the four land offices will be run by Southerners almost cxclu siveiy. now easy it is under aucn conditions ior ilr. smith to so arrange matters that ten thinstn certificates with a description of that number of quarter sections of the best lands accompanying tho ccrlilicatcs could be issued to that number of Colonls from the South, aud thus kill two birds with one slone, furnish that many boys in gray with good claims, and make okhhoma dead sure Democratic Slate. No one win bus watched the plans of Mr.

Smith in this Territory will think him incapable of such an infamy. All his appointments, with a rare exception, have been to thr end indicated above, and on this subject write with tiie indignation of one who has seen the appointees of President Harrison four fifths of whom were brave Union soldieri, turned out of offices that they filled with honor to themselves and credit to the Government they helped to save lrom the lloke ismilhp. To see these men turned out and men who did everything in their power to ruin our country put in their places is to say the least, most aggravating. Of all the ap pointers of lloke Smith in this Territory, from Governor down, not a single Union soldier or Union sympathiser to my knowl edge, with a single exception, has been named. The Governor was a rebel major, the Secretary of I he Territory, a co.onel iu gray; all the land officers, without an ex ocplion, came hern from the Southern States, so that the suspicion so frequently expressed that the Cherokee strip is being unci! as a means to make this Republican territory a Democratic Stale is we founded.

But can the infamy be carriei out 1 answer no. The men who wore the blue, aided by their loyal friends from the slroug anil rugged North are arrayed on both sides of the strip and when Ih hour or moment for the grand charge nr rives the lines ol gray under Hoke Smil will melt away as they did at Gettysburg under a Pickett and Isarkesdale, and Oh Glory will float triumphantly over the whole strip to the chagrin and morlifica lion of the men and parly who are try in to renew the old Anderson ville and Salis bury game of 3o years ago. The same devilish agency is at work to day in the Interior Depart metit to slur ve the remnant of that magnificent army, led by Grant, Sherman and Sheridan that was used by the cruel fiend Wert, at Andersonville, but it will not succeed so well under Smith as il did under Wertz, as the great patriotic heart the nation is fully aroused and the warning hand has been laid on Mr. Smith, of Georgia. I want to say to my friends and comrades in Pennsylvania that 1 did not wait for Hoke's axe to be applied to me.

I knew he had my soldier record on file in his cilice and thai mine would be one of I he first heads to fall, so I sent my resignation lo Mr. Cleveland, but through the kind interference of some good democratic friends in Pennsylvania it was not iic ceptcd until the 17lh of last month. In the meantime Mr. Smith tried to induce the' i 'resident to appoint a Mississippian in my place, but to no purpose. Finally he did secure the President's conseut lo accept my resignation, and a gentleman from "Arkansaw, sab," was designated as my successor, and hence the unkroken line of Southern "Gentlemen, Colonels and Generals" are in possession of all the land offices of Oklahoma.

I feel a pardonable pride, as the only Penn ylvanun omcenoider in Oklahoma, that am the only one ot an tne federal offi cers who was not forced out of his posi tion. All the rest were forced out. I got out voluntarily and shall take back with me to the grand old patriotic, union iov ing Pennsylvania a budget full of prime ammunition to hurl at Democracy in all the coming contests while I am able to fire a shot at them. Myself and little family are hungry to get back to dear old Harrisburg. i ours sincerely.

At the open hearth plant but three furnaces out of nine are in operation; the repairs to the new slab mill shears are being pushed forward and it is expected to have them completed this week; the large blow engine of the Bessemer is silent, and of course the converters are cold the gas producer is running, as is also the universal mill and hammer, but then Nos. 1 and 2 blooming mills and the rail mills are quiet as the grave.

The steel foundry of No. 2 open hearth is running, as also is the iron foundry, which started up this morning but not with the full quota of men. The machine shop is on but with less men than on Saturday; the frog, switch and signal department is about on half time, while the bridge and construc tion department is at it with almost a full lorce; the boiler department is not regular, and a number of the blacksmiths are also taking a rest. Nos. 3 and 4 blast furnaces are still banked, and the fires in the merchant and billet mills re still out.

The laboring gangs and carpenters throughout the plant are materially re duced. In the general office the shipping and manifest clerks are not kept very busy, while in the auditing department the entire clerical force is busy getting out the teini annual statement and the par roll for next Saturday.

Thouirh the day is said to Lave been fair and beautiful one hundred years ago when, according to contemporary accounts, His Excellency President George Washington crossed the Potomac in Maryland," (meaning the ten miles square deeded by Maryland and Virginia for the site of the National Capital), and, escorted by Virginia and Mtryland troops and Masonic and other civic bodies moved in procession to Capitol Hill, and there laid the corner stope of the National Capitol, the weather could not possibly have been more pleasant on that occasion than the clear skies and buoyant sunshine which smiled on the centennial commem oration ot that great event to day. rw, xne uay was ushered in by the ringing of the Centennial chimes. Followine as closely as possible the programme of the original ceremonies, the procession was chieny conhned to the civic bodies under the marshalship of Gen. Ordway, commanding the district National Guard. It started shortly before 1 o'clock, in four divisions, from in front of the White House.

At the head of the procession, immediately following Grand Marshal Ordway and his well mounted staff, lode the President of the United States and his Cabinet officers. The President rDdo in an open barouche, attended by Uon.Beriah Wilkinson, chairman of the reception committee, and escorted by a squadron of united mates cavalry.
