LIBRARY CONCERT. Tbarsdaay Club dom itself Credit at Association 1111. The Much It is a matter of pride among Harrir burgers that they can boaat of two flret clss musical societies, both of which bare elevated the standard of music in this city.

Tlie Thursday Club, under the direction of Professor J. 8. Carroll, has steadily pursued its course of study at Association Hall and now Is In a flourish ins condition, full oi vitality, and with a bright future before it. The success of the club has been largely due to Prof. Carroll, whose fidelity and earnestness have been recognized by the community generally.

The concert by the club last evening, at Association Hall, was an artistic treat. Tho audience was discrimi nating and appreciative and several mem bers were heartilv encored. The club occupied seats on a platform and the scene from the rear of the room was very pretty. The first chorus, "Spring's Message," was given with spirit and marked eioression. The audi enco was enthusiastic, and was not slow In applauding the different numbers.

The chorus was much larger than many had expected, and its careful; training was noticeable in the promptness or attscic and attention to detail in the rendition of the various parts. Miss Pratt, the pianist, is a skillful performer; and plays with good effect. Mrs. Senseman was at her bust in the solo, "Across the Far Blue Hills." The pure soprano voice of this lady is always heard with pleasure by the lovers of musio in this city, and they would not be satisfied until she had sung "I've something sweet to tell you" in w.a response to an encore, me ciuo sang "The Flower or Worthersee" in first atn). 1 1 Ik.

Eby, who sang the "jnorlan's Bong," was in excellent voice and delighted her mends, fine is possessed of a sweet soprano voice of limited range ana has considerable dramatic talent. Her enunciation is good, and in the work last evening she evidenced more than ordinary culture. Mrs. Conklln. who has a fine contralto voice with soprano range, sings with much ez prestlon and won deserved applause for her rendition of the "Three Fishers." Miss Helen Espy sang the ballad "Good Bye" with wonderful sweetness.

She never appeared to better advantage and to pleased was the audience that the fair ainger was compelled to respond to an encore. "Wreck of the Hesperus," an arrangement of Longfellow's poem by Anderlon, was the last number and ft proved the chorus in which the club best snowed tne capabilities or its memrjer shlp. The volume of harmony flhed the hall, and the shading was admirable. The solos were sustained by Mrs. Eby and Messrs.

Hawkins and Bfgler. The work ol the society all through the evening was such as to please the critical audience. Prof. Carroll, whose manner was that of a master who bad all confidence in bis pupils, is to be congratulated on the success of the concert. The proceeds will be dovoted to the establishment of a library of musical literature.

Editor Telegraph The determina tion of the School Board to refuse the use of the school houses for polling places is creating a good deal of feeling in the com munity, ana no doubt it the question was submitted to the public nine tenths of the people would vote in favor of allowing the people the use of their own houses.

The Board justifies its action upon the ground that the schools have to be sus pended four days in a year, and that these days are lost to the children and teachers. This objection can easily be overcome by just making the vacation four days shorter. Another objection is that the houses becomes filthy, and that it costs money to renovate them after the election. Why not require the county com missioners to pay, say $5 per day for the use of the house, which sum would be ample to put them in order I The school Hoard ought to rememDer that the school houses belong to tho people as well as the children, and that the directors are only the servants of the people and should heed the wishes of the PUBLIC. The writer of the above is informed that the county commissioners have for years allowed 95 to pay the rent and for cleaning the school houses in which elections are held in each district.

SHOCKING MINE DISASTER. Many Lives tost Property Damaged. A telegram from Newburg, West Vir ginia, dated at 1 clock this morning, says: A terrible explosion occurred at the Orrell company's mines at this place twenty minutes after 3 clock yesterday afternoon. From present appearances at least thirtv seven lives, and in all proba bility more, have been sacrificed, many of the dead being among the most re nnected citizens of the town. About the hour named, while the day shift were at work the mine, the air was suddenly rent with a most tremendous explosion, the force of which threw men down in the streets nan amiie away, shattered windows and doors all over town, and even crushed the stout sides of frame houses for a longdistance around the mouth of the Orrell mines, while from the deep shaft of the colliery a dense cloud of mingled smoke and vapor arose 200 feet in the air.

The theory ad vanced as to the cause of the explo sion is that the firedamp had accumulated in one of the rooms and was accidentally ienited bv a miner's lamp, but nothing Dositive has vet been learned. The force of the explosion so blocked the air course that no one dare venture in the mine heading to ascertain the fate of the men until an air passage can be established. This work is being pushed vigorously, but up to midnight no bodies had been discovered. It is now supposed that between thirty seven and forty men are imprisoned, and the orevailing opinion is that all are dead, although a few miners express the hope that some of them may have es caped the effects of the explosion and have been able to reach a place free from the fatal black damp which always fol lows an explosion of this kind. The company has a large force ol men divided into suitable reliefs at work at the mine, but there is no probability of the bodies being recovered to night, i ne scene about the mouth of the mine at this hour (1 A.

VOL LV. NO. 19, ALL OVER TUE CITY. EVILS OF DISCRIMINATION. ITS FOSTERING INFLUENCE ON THE GIANT MONOPOLY.

Governor Fattlson's Speech, to the People of Clinton County on the" Subject A Powerful Arraignment of Railway Discrimination and Its Evil Ef fects Governor's Remedy. Governor Pattison addressed a largo gathering of farmers and business men of Clinton county in the court house at Lock Haven yesterday afternoon, on the subiectoi "Discrimination bv Uommon Carriers." The Governor was warmly welcomed, and spoke with freedom and vigor, liis remarks being frequently ap plauded. He began his speech by saying that the most important economic ques tion presenting itself for decision to day is the prevention of discrimination by common carriers. It is by no means a new question, and it is more prominent now than at any past period, simply be cause its evils with the growth of years have increased so enormously that they can no longer be bidden or denied. But anti discrimination is the most import ant economic problem of the day, for the reason that Its evils are the most wide spread, and afflict the masses of citizens least able to bear or resist its injury, namely, the consuming and small pro ducing class.

In this latter I include farmers, the most numerous body of producers in the Another and a principal reason why this question ranks as the first demanding solution is that it has been and is the parent of a long line ot evils that but for it would hardly be possible. The immediate wrong of railroad discrimination is as nothing compared with the social, busi ness and industrial inequalities it has created and fostered. Itself the result of monopoly, it has by a natural, inevitable law engendered monopoly. One Great Monopoly Fostered by Discrimi nation. Continuing, the Governor said: Rail road discriminations built up and estab lished the Standard oil monopoly, by which a source of natural wealth, illimitable and marvelous, was entirely de fected from our State.

Thousands of citizens were bankrupted, and individual enterprise was driven from the oil regions. But for discrimination the Standard oil company would not be in existence to day. Hot alone has this creature of discrimination taken the oil industry from Pennsylvania and private enterprise, but it has taxed the consumers of the country for its benefit, has debauched legislatures, has corrupted the avenues of justice, has mocked the law, and is stretching out its arms in every direction to monopolize other sources of wealth and means of supply. Discrimi nation has made Philadelphia, at one time the first commercial city in the Union, and still with the highest manu facturing resources, little more than a mere annex to New York. Other BesulU of Discrimination.

Discrimination has built up here and there throughout the State and country along the lines of railroads populous towns that are the seats ot enormous iron, steel and other works that have enriched their owners and interested railroad offl cials, but have peopled those cities with a mass ot dependent laborers, wno live from hand to mouth, who are thrown out of work at the will of their employers, and who can hope tor nothing but the merest necessaries of life in their existing social condition. Railroad discrimination has given to the new republic a line of princely railroad nabobs and lords of the soil. But it has given to us, too, in little more than a generation, a mass of rest less and discontented laborers, often eat ing the bread of idleness and clamoring tor concessions lrom a few great em ployers. It has reduced the owners of farms in number until they are a million less than the tenant farmers, and every where it has tended to centralize wealth and increase the rank of dependent labor. The Experiment of the South Fenna.

Road, It is unncessary, however, at this day to prove that discrimination is an evil The question is as to what is its proper remedy. The number ot those who de fend or excuse it is so small as to be un worthy of consideration. There are those who say that the true remedy is more railroads. Competition, they say, will put a stop to monopoly; therefore give us more railroads. This argument, applied to railroad in justice, has recently in this State been put to a severe test.

In the hope that by the application or this doctrine Jfennsyl. vania might get some relief from the mo nopoly of her great trunk line and its continued injustice, I was induced In 1883 to sign the bills which made possible the construction ot the (South jfennsyl vania railroad, which it was said would give our citizens another West ern and seaboard outlet A par tial result of the experiment is known to the world to day. The people of our (southern tier ot counties particularly have learned the bollowness of the promises of organized capital to redress the wrongs of another organized capital. The South Pennsylvania railroad is today claimed as the property of the corpo ration or wnicn it was projected to be a rival. Against law and justice, in the face of plighted faith and popular protest an effort was made to sell it out to strengthen and establish the power for evil of the vast corporation that had so far proved itself stronger than courts or executives, constitutions or the people.

It will soon be ascertained whether its law less supremacy is to bo perpetual. The opinion of the Dauphin county court recently filed in the railroad cases are full of encouragement to the people if they do but appreciate them. The failure thus far, however, of that attempt to correct railroad discrimination by the erection of another road has gone far to prove the hopelessness of the people ever deriving any relief from such means. It has proven that corporate capital is everywhere alike, animated by the same purposes, controlled by the same influences. Though corporations may for a time.

and for selfish purposes, resist the iniquities of each other, it is only for so long as it is necessary to strengthen each other for great or public wrongs: and then they make common cause and join hands against tne people. "et a thief to catch a thief does not apply to comorations. You only set loose two thieves instead of one to prey upon the public. The Kemedy the Governor Would Apply. I am convinced, after long reflection.

that there is only one sure remedy left for the people of Pennsylvania, and that is to enforce the existing laws of the State by penal statutes. It must be made a crime, punishable by the imprisonment of the officials, for railroad officials to break the law. Since all other efforts have failed I am now for trying the efficacy of the prison law. There is no trouble at all about the laws so far as they declare the rights and duties of the people and the railroads. The XVII Article of the Constitution needs no addition or amendment.

It is sufficient in all its parts to correct every evil of railroads from which the people now suffer if it be enforced. Let the next Legislature pass a statute simply making it a penal offense, punishable with imprisonment, to violate the provisions of the XVII Article, and let a jury of honest men pass upon the fact wither that article has been violated under the instruction of judges, and from that day we will have law obedient railroad corporations in Pennsylva a nia. Leave it to a jury to say whether tne south Pennsylvania and the Pennsyi vania railroad were parallel and competing lines, and twelve honest men would convict the conspirators who concocted the "sell out" without leaving the box, and an upright judge would sena mem to the penitentiary before tne court adjourned. What difficulty is there about a jury finding whether a pass given to a legislator or judge, and for which he gives no tangible return, is a free pass or not here is the trouble about a jury finding whether mining coal is the business of common carrying And so of all the sections of the XVII Article. Merely attach the penal clause to each of them and leave the rest to a jury and an honest court At least let us try this just for a while.

Honest men. honest railroad offl cials, would not fear such laws. and. as for dishonest ones, we simply want that mere shall be some laws they will fear. When Governor Pattison had con eluded his address, Mr.

Harvey, a promi nent citizen of Clinton county, offered a resolution thanking the Governor "lor his able, eloquent and timely address," and heartily endorsing its sentiments. The resolution was unanimously adopted with a loud aye. Before the adoption Mr. Harvey said he believed before any penal statute could be passed it would be necessary to have a law prohibiting men who pass statutes or construe them from carrying in their pockets evidences of their obligations to these railroad companies. How could even handed justice be meted out to carrying corporations when highest officers of the State were being carried by free passes from one end of the Commonwealth to the other Senator Peale took up the subject holding there could be no lasting prosperity to any branch of industry until there is free, fair and full transportation afforded to all the commodities that are to be shipped.

Governor Pattison replied to Mr. Harvey by saying that there was not a member of the State administration with which he is connected, from the highest to the lowest, that is riding on a free pass, although they had been tendered. The declaration was vociferously applauded, and the body took a recess to give those present an opportunity to take the Chief Execu tive by the hand. An ovation followed, after which the Governor retired to return to Harrisburg. A Plea for Cleveland, or Pattison.

Philadelphia Record. If a Democratic Administration is worth having it is worth sustaining until it betrays a want of title to Democratic confi dence and support THIS PENNSYLVANIA CANAL. Orders to Repair that Part Between Hunt ingdon Dam ana Newton Hamilton. The Pennsylvania canal company has directed the foreman in charge between the Huntingdon dam and Newton Ham ilton, the rJart the company was author ized to abandon by act of the Legislature last winter, to have the breaks made by the late Hoods immediately repaired and to put it in order for navigation by the opening of spring. This is construed as a refusal by the company to abandon the canal on the condition prescribed by the act ot Assembly, which is that the company 6hall first file an acceptance of the provisions of the new Constitution A number of lawsuits are likelv to be brought against the company if the canal is kept open.

The law under which it may be abandoned is a special act and the boatmen who were using the oanal were induced to apply for its passage, to publish notice of the application and to comply with the other legal requirements. The consideration was that they were to be paid for their boats and all losses they might eustain by reason of the abandonment This agreement has not been fulfilled and the boatmen think that having performed their part they are en titled to their pay. The company seems to hold that they cannot claim compensa tion before the canal has been closed and the losses sustained. The question be tween the parties will probably be settled the courts. To the people along the line the prospect of it remaining open is highly gratifying.

THE SENATtS AND THE PRESIDENT Views of a Republican Subject. Senator on the A Washington special says: The posi tion of the Republican Senators respect ing the President's nominations was well set forth by one of them when he said last night: "While I cannot disclose what my party colleagues will do in re gard to the confirmation of nominations in the place of suspended officials, I can tell you what I think about it and perhaps that will answer as well. I hold the tenure of office act to be constitutional The President has the right to suspend but not the right to remove. To change a suspension to a removal the senate must confirm the nomination of a sue cessor, or, in other words, take its share of responsibility in the removal. I admit that we have no right to inquire into the President's reason's for suspen sion; but 1 alBO hold that before we change the suspension into a removal we should have reasons therefor.

For that purpose we must be made aware of or have put before us the charges against the suspended officials, and these we are certainly entitled to know. If they are refused us we ought to try to get them, and snouid that oe impossible then we should simply refuse to confirm. Had the President not announced that he would remove for cause only, and had he stated that he would make changes involving suspensions and removals for political reasons, I would have raised no objection to their confirmation, and I do not think other Republican Senators would either." OUR BLOOD STAINED FUEL. What It Costs to Keep Cs Warm. The recapitulation of the Mine Inspec tors'monthly reports for 1885 shows that in the Schuylkill region of the accidents reported about 25 per cent, were fatal, and of these 50 per cent of the victims were married men with an average of two children each.

These were the official figures: Accidents, Pottsvillo region Fatal, 21; not fatal, 80. Shenandoah Fatal, 51; not fatal, 103. Shamokin Fata, 44; not fatal. 130,. Total Fatal 116, not fatal! 319.

In the Pottsville region women were made widows and 24 children orphans; Shenandoah, 28 widows and 94 orphans; bliamokin, 25 widows and 73 Total, 59 widows and 191 orphans. Severe Storm on the Pad Ho Coast. One of the severest storms ever known on the Pacific coast began on Sunday and reached us height on Wednesday after noon. There was an almost continuous fall of rain and snow, the storm crossing the country from the northern boundary of Washington Territory to the southern boundary ot Ualiiornja, and lrom the ocean to the Rocky moun tains. The wind at San Francisco reached a maximum velocity of eighty two miles per hour.

Fences, trees, awnings, sheds, signs, smoke stacks and church steeples were blown down and houses were unroofed. Home buildings were partly demolished, and two women were dangerously, perhaps fatally, injured by the fall of a dwelling. Tele IT grapnic cummumcauon was interrupted, and there were washouts on the Southern Facific railroad. A Red Ribbon Richer. It has come to be a common practice in Irish hunts to warn the crowd against horse that makes too free use with his heels, by tying a danger signal, in the shape of a red ribbon, on his tail.
