HARRISBURG, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 7, 1893. ESTABLISHED 1831. the GROWLER. It was quite late when the Growler reached the breakfast table this morning, and he seemed to be in pretty good humor. The loidy 5fl the pink wrapper remarked the ribbon counter clerk that the Growler evidently had a good night's rest, while the small man who is trying to sell a patent said hie was glad of it, for he' had not forgotten the roasting the Growler gave him when he had expressed a desire that this country might be plunged into bright blood red war.

The Growler ate his breakfast with evident relish and read his morning paper with great interest. And as he read his brow towered and he looked as if he were thinking real hard, lie was reading the telegraphic news from Washington to the effect that Spain had demanded the Tca.i of Consul General Liee. The others watched him closely and awaited the expected outburst. It did not come not just thou. The Growler had already had his say on the war question, and he never repeated.

He turned the paper over and began to read the local news. at once he dropped his fork and broke 5 oose. "There it goes iagain'" he exclaimed; "there it goes again! Aimother child knocked down by a bicycle rider in the street and painfully injured. The bicycle season has.set iu now, and I shall expect to read that sort of an item every day in) the newsspapers from now until the season closes. It boats all how careless yes, reckless some men are.

They go along l'lke the wind and they never look where they are going. If they bowl over some poor little child who is crossing the street they never stop fc ascertain whetker they have hurt the child, but sneak away like the cowards they are. If I had my way I would make an example of some of these leeklcss riders, aimd I would put some of them away for life. The great, big, huaky duffer. They tMnk they" own the earth when they get on a bicycle, and they ride as if the Klondike was at the other end of the line and a pot of gold was waiting for them." "And yet," ventured the ribbon counter clerk, "there are a great many accidents that could not be avoided." "Oh.

there are, are there?" asked the Growler, in his most sarcastic tones "there are, are there? And bow did you find that out? Did you ever ride a. bicycle? I don't remember ever to have seen you on a wheel' with your back humped up like 'a camel and your head lowered, with your eyes glued to the lamp on the front wheel. I don't remember ever to ave seen you scorchin down the street at a two minute gait oblivious to everybody and bent on getting there as fast as you could. I fail to remember yon wearing a brass band checked suit of knickerbockers and a 'littl't dinkey cap and: brown sweater and posing as an athlete with a' wheel. What do you know a'bout accidents caused by wheelmen? You better get a record before you ven ture on am opinion." The ribbon counter clerk did not answer, but the loidy in the pink wrapper ventured on dangerous ground.

"Do you." she asked, "do you ride a. wheel?" "Do I ride a wheel?" said the Growler, "do I ride a wheel? 'Why, what a funny question to ask. No, I do not ride a wheel." "Then, what right have you to discuss the matter you have just been dwelling on so forcibly?" "All the right in the world," said the Growler, "the right of any man to talk most and loudest on the subject that he doesn't know anything wbout." Andthen he laughed himself into a good humor. capitoVhill. The corporation work of the State Delia rtmenit shows a steady progress in the way of busine ssi revival.

PAXTON STREET "N00S REST" The buildiug at the northwest corner of Third and Herr streets, recently purchased for the work of the Young Women's Christian Association, was dedicated yesterday afternoon by a service of praise and thanksgiving. The capacity of the building for the accommodation of the friends of the association was fully tested, and the that meeting revealed the fact that no ordinary house can hold all who are interested in the work of this! organization.

The iarge meeting room on the south side of the building was crowded to overflowing. The hallway and stairs were filled with interested listeners, and the dining room, was net large enough to hold the overflow of the audience. A large number of persons w'ho came as far as the door went away when they found the house crowded. Rev. Luther DeYoe opened the service with the invocation.

He laarw special reason for thanksgiving im the fact that the building had not a dollar of debt resting on at, and that the association thus unencumbered could give all its energies to the work which Provi dence was setting before it. Dr. Aneelh of St. Stephen's 1. K.

Ohurch, made a mcst eloquent and effect ive address, in which he expressed Jus high appreciation of the aims and the methods of the association as meeting the claims of the physical, the intellectual amd the spiritual life ot young women, tie valued its work as an illustration of the tfota'itv of the gospel of which alms at the perfecting of cur personality, and welcomed the help given 'by tne as sociation to the better understanding of the kingdom of God as related burth to the individual and the community.

a building in many ways well' suited to the work. There is small' reason to doubt that, with the means at thrir hand to cn'larg? and carry on the work, the assocrjaifion will leconie one of the foremost influences' for good in the community. The building contains fonirteeji rooms and two bathrooms. On the first floor the hirge room t. the left of tlie hall will be used aj a parlor, where meetings and entertainments will be held; the room opposite will bei the library and secretary's office.

Directly back of thesei two and running acrosw the width of thie house is tflie (liming roomv one of tlie brightest, cheeriest rooms in the. house. Still further back ist an ample kitcheaiw whence sundry odors are wont to issue at certain seasons of tlie day.

On the third floor there are five pleasant r.oms, any or all of which are for rent. There isi a bathroom' on the second floor and one ora the third.

Theiv will be a reception given toi the friends of the association at the ne.w hjomio ass soon, as things have been "get more to rights," which will proliibly lie by the middle of next week.

In the ineaiir fhiie it seeuw a pity that suc h. a big, comfortable, roomy housw should be without the dignity of a parlor caTjyet (which is tlie csiae), or that there should lie various chainlesis corners and blank, picfuTele. spaces on tli walb (wHiacflu is alsoi the case), to detract from the cozinesL of the whole.

Spain; lias withdrawn lier request for the recall of Consul General Lee anil it if now le lioved that tlie incident is practically closed. The withdrawal came to day in the shape of an official commiinication from Minister Woodford. It is now stated that the request was never put in the shape of a demand, but that it was merely a suggestion on tlie part of Spain, and when she found that it would not lie. pleasantly recieived by this country she promptly receideel. It is 'learned that the Spanish e.bjection to Consul' General Lee is based largely upon his sympathy for the Cubans and some of his utterances which have found their way into print.

It as understood that the Siwndards take exceptions to the friendly relations and companionship existing between General Lee and correspondents of paiers, which have been de cidedij unfriendly to Spain. It is believed that Senor De Lome eairied to Spain papers aiiel information calculated to make the Spanish goveriimeiiitt request the recall of Consul' General Lee.

General Fitzhugh Lec, Cewiit ul General of the United States, when questioned to day regarding Spain's demand for his recall said: "I shall continue to do my duty, which is to guard Ame'rican interests. "FitzhiUgh I'e, ray son, came to visit me during the short vacation granted him by the Chesapeake Ohio Railroad.

He was here before, has many friends and will return to the United States when his vacation is over, next week. Mrs. Lee is not ill notr is she inervousv I have not written her anything to alarm her.

As previously cabled, the coast survey steamtT Bache, on her return from Key AA'tWt, will take the Fern's place here. near tlie wreck of the Maine, as quartern for the officers'.

The Fern is to go North to ttike on board supplies for the reeone en tradoes, taking these supplies to Matanzas and Sagua I a Grande. Tech nically, the Fern is a. war vessel, because she mounts one gun, a six pounder, which is used tor saluting.

The Spanish situation developed two idiases yesterday when it lieeaine known that tlie SiMinish governmesit had fonnailly re quostd the ctill of Consul General Ix'c from, his inst at Havana, to which request the United States has courteously but firmly refuseid to comply; also that the Spanish, government has sniggestml the iiniroprieiry of sending relief suiiplii to tne recoiu eintrados on the crniscT "Montgoimry" and gtinbiat "Nashville to wliich suggestion the United Srsite has given a like answer in the. negative.

Prior to its receipt, however, the authoritics here had been fully conversant with the facts, although ne intimation hid bien flllowerd to get to the public cm either subject.

lint this denial does not take" the form of a complete assertion that something like an intimation has n.it lveHn given the Spanish g.ivernmont would i le pleased! were General Lee relieved nt Havana. Still there is a wide and substantial difference between these two projiositiotw an official statement and an unofficial intimation, anil therein was a loophole for escape. Had the Spanish government made an official demaml for General Lee's recall it would have had no recourse in the event of refusal by our government to accede to tlie demand, but must have withdrawn the Consul Geiu ral's exequatur, thus leaving him without official status in Havana. The matter not having taken that official ferm, however, theie is no tangible extise? for SjKiin to look uiioii berse lf as hinnilia te in this mwitter. MORE ARTILLERY.

The beginning of the nd of the famoustiial of Sheriff Martin and his deputies for the shooting of the strikers at Lattiiuer, ou September 10th, attracted the largest crowd to the Luzerne county court house that has yet been present. A lag squad of itolievmesi had to be trailed to force the people back se that persons having business iu the cntirt hcusa coulJ gain, admission.

AVhn court oitened, at 10 o'clex k. Attorney Scarlett, of cotuisel for the Goni iiioiiwcaZth; 'ieneel the argunnut for the prosecution, II jtoke for about two Ih itxs and conimaudetl tin closest atteiir tion cf the vast audience. He held that th; strikeTM had a iterfee right to march ou the public highway and that Sheriff Martin and his deputies had no right to shoot down and kill the strikers. Of the ikfenscs ninny witnesses, lie said, the jury had to consider their tcestiniony accordipg to credibility and stnn lliig. He claim.

As he closee.1 he clas sed the trial aet the greatest hi the history of the world; armed men I wing charged with tHKtoting down rnthlessly and wantonly martyrs of altoroii a public highway for merely mak ing threat ad who had done nothing that could be cl. Ksed as an act of violence.

John T. Ivenahan. chief counsel for the defense, followed Mr. Scarlett. He made a pathetic plea, and an eloquent manner told how the prosee ution'a alleged crowd of UK) peaceable strikers were marchnur alto ut the mining liani.ets armed to the teeth ferocious and armed with deadly weaitons and whe drove men from tneir latntr.
