Established 1831. Last I Yi S3 4 HIS FIRST RIDE, A QUAINT DESCBIPTION. From Columbia to Philadelphia in Seven Honrs. Thb following is an extract from the letter of a. Harrisburg gentleman, written sixty rears ago.

giving an account of his trip from Harrisburg to Philadelphia, 'with a description ox his mat ride on a railway train. The cars in those days consisted of three separate apartments on a platform, the apartments the size of an old stage coach: Philadelphia, May 28, 1835. Dear Wife I intended to have written to ycu last night alter my arrival here, but got ting down ton and meeting with half Harrisburg the time was spent until too late to mail the letters. A great many of our citizens are here, among the number Gen. Forster, Herman Alricks, John Houser, Billy Cattrell, Barny Geiger, George Nagle and family, John Cameron, Mr.

Oves, Mr. Walters, Mr. McCormick and family, Mrs. Mahaney, Mr. Fenn and myself bad representation of our town.

We left Harrisburg at 8 A. M. and arrived a little after 3 P. M. at Columbia after a very smooth and noiseless ride on the canal, exceedingly pleasant in everything but its extreme irksomeness for want of something to relieve the great monotony in Bliding mile after mile without a single etone or jolt to bump one into the expression of an idea.

It is like life, becoming irksome without the troubles we so much try to shun, which, though unpleasant in themselves, give us with their intervals that variety which renders it agreeable. Next morning at 8 o'clock we embarked in a train of railroad cars at Columbia, our Harrisburg company, eight in number, occupying together exclusively, one end or chamber of a car, an arrangement by which we were cut off from all communication with strangers and others on the road, and the ride ren dsred much more agreeable on that account. I have read much and heard much of steam cars, hut I had no idea of the majesty of the thing until I experienced it. After all things were ready the sooty 'engineer mounted his steam pony and after a short interval of irregular, slowish motion, off we went, whiz and hardly touched any place until we stopped at Lancaster. We left Columbia at 8, and arrived by a circuit around the town at twenty minutes before 9, a distance perhaps of eleven or twelve miles.

Tliat is the kind of riding for me. When I set out on a journey I like to go it full split At first it seemed a good deal like the cars running off in smoke, but I soon got accustomed to the motion and felt quite secure and comfortable. We left Lancaster a little after 9, after taking some more cars in tow, the whole number amounting now, including steam car and appendages, to twelve, and arrived in Philadelphia at about fifteen minutes after 3 P. having stopped to dine on the road and to water a number of times, and take in passengers about as long as is taken by stages in the same distance. We were detached from the steam engine at the head of the inclined plane, about four or five miles from the city, and taken the rest of the road by horse power, or we might have arrived in town much sooner, at least a half an houfA I have but an indistinct idea of the country we passed through, as it was farm, and house, and trees, in whirligig succession from one end of the road to the other.

I saw Billy Noble standing some place in the upper end of Chester county with his arms folded looking at the train, but I could not speak to him. I saw him, and he was lost in the distance. Before I could distinguish him and say how do you do, we were out of hearing. We met four trains that passed us, also with steam, on the other track coming up. Nothing can convey an idea, to those who have not witnessed it, of the rapidity with which they approach and pass each other at a distance of about four feet.

Although, I suppose, for I really could not counr, that each train was as long as ours, it was but whiz, whir, and all was past. Think of going to Philadelphia from Columbia in seven hours in these days, and what would the gentleman say were he to get on the Limited and spin to the Quaker City at the rate of fifty miles an hour? We think, from his enthusiastic, italic exclamation, that that would just suit him. He must have been very much disappointed at aot being able to shake hands with Billy Noble and say how do you do, but he was fifing at the awful rate of eleven miles an hour, and how could he Us Ashed In the river. He flailed In the brook, lie read about nslns In many a book. He haunted the waters In sunshine and rain.

Dreamed nightly of suckers, Had fish on the brain. Could tell all about fish From A down to But he couldn't catch fish Any more ttian a flea. PERSOHAL PARAGRAPHS. Brief Mention of the Movements of lour Friends and Acquaintances. Col.

Yesterday cracked all the previous records for Decoration Day weather in this city. People didn't begin to realize jast how hot it was until afternoon.

It was cruel weather for the paraders. The thermometers displayed in store entrances and public buildings ecarod passers by. There were stories told of how the mercury had gone up to 106, and although this was putting it rather strongly, it had a truthfal sound. Here is the record of Decoration Day weather cr tho last twenty two years. It is taken from the record of Weather Clerk Wm.

"Excuse respanded the waiter, who is too good for that business, "but we only undertake to serve a chowder, not an aquarium." QUAKER CITY BOTES. The Record.

A hot spell i e. You could almost cook coffee on the asphalt pavements yesterday. You might keep cool by reading the accounts of the blizzards in last winter's papers. A Kensington man imagines he can keep the temperature down by hanging his thermometer in the cellar. It is now that perverse man chases three blocks oat of his way in the broiling sun to look at a thermometer.

Hobson Do you celebrate Decoration Day De Tan que Every day in the year is decoration day with me if I can raise the price of red paint. "I want a thermometer," said the old lady to the clerk, as she mopped her damp brow with a big handkerchief; "and please set it at about sixty degrees." MOW ISN'T THIS A PBETTY RACE. And Our Own Are Right In tne Tnielr of tne JMlKbt. OW isn't this a pretty (State League race? Six of the seven teams now in the league are right in it for first place honors. By deli eating Lancaster twice yesterday, Our Own passed Carbon dale.

and are only three wee points behind Reading for fourth place. But three games separate us from Hazleton, which usurped the lead by twice defeating Al lentown at the latter place yesterday. The Tblkgbath told about the morning game at Lancaster, and how it was won through hard hitting on our part. The game was not in doubt after the first inning, when Oar Own made six runs off Yerkes. The two teams came up to Harrisburg at 3:35 in the afternoon and played a long drawn out game before about 1,500 poraons.

Again did the superior hitting of the locals tell in the score. "Andy" Roth caught his first game in a couple weeks and led tho batting with a single, double and triple. He was unfortunate in the closing inning, having his finger again injured by a foul tip. Kelly, who had been playing a fine third, took his place, Kappel, who is on the sick list, going to third. Childs played his usual steady game, having his first error on the home grounds for some time, Score of the afternoon game by innings: Harrisburg' 21120302 0 11 Lancaster 008001210 7 Hits Harrisburg, 16; Lancaster, 10.

One of the four Harrisburg wheelmen entered in yesterday's ten mile race at York won from a field of fifteen starters. The victor was Jonas Reist, who was dressed in a suit of brilliant pink that could have been seen for miles. Owing to the great heat none of the riders made any great spurts of speed.

Six of the fifteen dropped out before the race was finished, Steese, of Harrisburg, being the first. He covered but three laps. On the sixth lap Stewart, another Harrisburg man, stopped. Stewart is a rider of no mean ability, and he would have made some trouble for the rest had he been in condition, but he was not, and was further handicapped because he was compelled to ride a strange wheel. In the tenth lap Kehr, another Harrisburg man, retired.

The finish was made with Reist, of Harrisburg, in the lead C. S. Oberlin, of Columbia, second; John Hamilton, of Columbia, third A. B. Manherz, of York, fourth, and Ed J.

Hersh, fifth. The race was run in 31 minutes and 20 seconds. The prize won by Jonas Reist at York yesterday was a $20 gold watch. It is said the track measured fully eleven miles. Dickinson Wins Avzaln.

It went ahead of St. Louis yesterday. What a throw down Hazleton gave Allentown yesterday. Paddy Fox pitched a great game. On account of the great heat yesterday the grand stand was crowded to its utmost capacity.

Catcher Cote had to retire from yesterday's game, having hurt his leg. Arthur took his place. Reading has released Roes and signed second baseman Young, of Pottstown, and pitcher Everscn, of Media. Last year 74,046 people witnessed the National League games on Decoration Day. Yesterday the figures ran up to 94,581, an i net ease of 20.535.

In the neighborhood ef 100,000 persons saw the National League games yesterday. Reading turned out a 4,000 crowd in the State League, Allentown following with about 3,000. The Allison Hill Boys defeated a picked nine yesterday afternoon on the car shop grounds by the score of 19 to 15. Batteries were: Allisons, Salt zman.Lantz and Snyder; Picked Nine, Wallower, Manoer acd Darby. Jack Doran went in this afternoon against Carbondale.

He has had a good long rest since his last attempt to pitch, and if ho is net in fine shape now, he never wiil be. Kelly caught him, Huston going to short and Bojle to third. Kappel is to be released to cut down expenses, Kelly and Huston alternating at third base. Roth will be able to catch again in a few days. Hospital W.

HARRISBURG'S POPULATION A Gain of Nearly Two Thousand Last Year, 'Black pickaninny From Ole Vlrginny, Goodness, how she grows." Old Song. Why here is good news Boyd's new Harrisburg Directory is just out, first copy sent to the Tklkgeaph to day and in it we find that Harrisburg is growing like a weed The directory man in 1895 in a manner takes a census of us, and he finds this year that he has put down on his book for Harrisburg, not including Steelton, just 19,922 names as against 19,251 in 1894, or gain of 671 names.

But this doeB not mean the population. The Boyds, as old directory makers and statisticians, find that to get at the exact population the number of names in the directory must be multiplied by 2J. Now 2J times 19,922 is 54,785, and that is the population of this old town. This year there are 671 more names than last year. Multiply that 671 by 2 and it shows that the population of Harrisburg gained 1,845 in one year.

And that is why we congratulate ourselves. There are 3,223 new names in our directory this year, and 2,552 names were erased. Of removals, alterations, there were 5,902, so that the total number of changes was 11,677. In size of population Harrisburg stood seventh in the list according to the census of 1890 with 39,385 people, but the Boyd census elevates her to sixth with 54.785, pressing Reading closely for fifth place with her 58,661. It cannot be denied that Harrisburg in the past five years has made great strides forward, and she is on the upward march all the time.

Well my we say, "Goodness, how she grows." Mr. Boyd deserves our thanks for his accurate figures. The Harrisburg Directory this year is a handsome and substantial volume, giving much valuable information. It contains, besides the individual namep, a new map and street guide, a compendium of the government and of the city's public and private institutions, together with a business directory: The Boyds can well be proud of this handsome volume. THE COURT DEFIED.

EX ALDERMAN BRACKENRIDGE REFUSES To Obey Judge McPherson's Recent Order. Alfred Brackenridge, the ex alderman of the Second ward, has shown a disposition to treat with contempt the order of Judge McPherson requiring him to deliver over to the successor in office, S. Brady Cav eny, all his public dockets, records, and when Mr. Caveny's attorney, William Hargest, appeared in court this morning with this intelligence, Judge McPherson was not all pleased. Pretty soon thereafter Mr.

Brackenridge appeared and Judge McPherson called him before the Bar, asking him by what authority he disobeyed the Court's order. Mr. Brackenridge answered that he desired to take an appeal, at the same time handing his appeal up to the Court, who refused to receive it, adding that if he desired legal advice he should employ counsel, juage Simonton reminded Mr. Brackenridge that if he didn't have a care he would land in the building across the alley (meaning the county jaill. The ex alderman murmured "yes, sir;" tooK a iresn grip on ms appaai paper and hurriedly left the court room.

Upon application of Mr. Hargest, Judge McPherson awarded a rule on Bracken ridge, requiring the latter to show cause within three days why ho refused to obey the Court's order. If an appeal is taken, the next question to be determined will be whether it would be a supersedeas or not. The Martin Case. Hon.

George Kunkel presented reasons and argued upon a motion for a new trial in the case of George Martin, convicted some time ago of the larceny of harness from (farmer Longenecker, now dead. Mr. Kunkel thought the Court erred in refusing to strike out the testimony of Joseph Livingstone, a penitentiary convict and said the main issue existed in the identification of the property. The Nye Case. Argument was heard upon the motions for a new trial and judgment, notwithstanding the verdict in the Nye Pennsyl Railroad case, Hon.

L. W. Hall appearing for the defendant corporation and Swartz Brothers for the plaintiff. Mr. Hall laid Btrees on the fact thr.t there had been no dispute over Supervisor King's competency and his plaiag the men in a safe place.

He contended that Nye by working in place other than the one to which ho had been assigned had been guilty of contributory negligence. Counsel for the plaintiff claimed that the necessary precautions gainst accident had not been taken by the company's officials, and that Nye worked according to the directions of the supervisor. Two Opinions toy MoHierson. Before court adjourned to day Judge McPherson handed down opinions in the cases of Henry Stchman's executrix vs. Jos.

Campbell's assignee, rule to file statement of trust funds under act of 1893 and Commonwealth vs. John A. Strohm. In the first named case the rule is discharged at the cost of the petitioner, the Court stating that the caas belongs 'to the class of unsettled accounts and conflicting claims and may readily be tried in the proper form action. Judge McPherson agrees that tho act of '93 does not apply to this case, there being no trust fund and no trustee.

Slehman's executrix claimed that Campbell's assignee failed to pay over plaintiff's share of rents derived from property held jointly by both parties. In the Strohm case (a petition for the vocation of the Court's order of maintenance) Judge McPherson eay6: "We have decided (although with some reluctance) to try the experiment both parties immediately interested request. It is therefore ordered that if the defendant, Strohm, on or before June 15th, pay the costs accrued in 1 former proceedings and pay to his former wife, Maggie Strohm, at the rate of $3 per week from June 19lh to October 2, 1894, and at the rate of $1 50 per week from October 2d to the day of payment the order of maintenance made June lOih, 1894, will bo vacated, the future liability of the sureties thereunder will be ended, and leave will be granted to discontinue the set fa upon the recognizance. In default of such payment within fifteen days the Applications to vacate and for leave to discontinue will be rofusod. This order is not to prejudice the right ef any person interested it a similar proceeding should bo hereafter begun to compel the defendant to support his wife.

Gathered In Court. Prothcnotary Melick was in Philadelphia to day. District Attorney Detweiler went to Philadelphia to day on a short business trip. County Solicitor Millar had Frank Zeigler, Dr. M.

L. Wolford and W. E. Barnes appointed a commission to inquire into the lunacy of Frederick S. Embick, of this city.

The Court has awarded a writ of mandamus on Gov. Hastings, requiring him to show cause why he refuses to appoint a Mr. Hanis an alderman in the city of Johnstown. Catharine Moyer, Mary Boyer, C. F.

of near Lykens, have sued the Lykens Valley Coal Company for $2 000 damages through the depositing of culm from the mines along their mill dam. The case will probably be settled out of court. Hon. S. J.

M. McCarrell represents the plaintiffs. A citation was awarded on Elijah Mc Creary, administrator of the late John McCreary, of Middletown, requiring him to show cause why an accounting should not be made and filed. Mrs. Selina Harclerode, of Middletown, an heir, is the petitioner.

Hon. George Kunkel presented the insolvency petition of Truman Peoples, who was this morning sentenced to pay the costs for his complicity in the Second ward election fight among the Democrats last February. Peoples was charged with violating the primary election law. CAPITOL HILL. The general appropriation bill is now in shape for passage through the House.

It has been printed and passed second reading to day. Section 2 carries $925,434 60 for the salaries of State officers, clerks and employes of the several departments. This item includes $3,000 for the erection of a powder magazine and other improvements at the State Arsenal. There is also an item of $1,800 to erect and furnish a rose propagating house. Section 3 sets apart $1,185,200 for the Judiciary.

The next section provides for the expenses of the Legislature, an item of $544,358 90 being included for this purpose. There is an item of $500 for pu'nting a portrait of ex Gov. Pattison, and the same amount for painting a portrait if ex Lieut. Gov. Watres.

The total amoctnt of the general appropriation bill is $14916,72213. The total appropriations reported for all purposes are about $22,600,000, with estimated The school fund item as reported is $11,000,000, but it will be cut to ten millions. Senator Quay, who has been given distinguished consideration by the lawmakers during his visit here, will go to Philadelphia to morrow. Yesterday afternoon the House adjourned to pay its respects to him. Last evening he sat at dinner with Senators Penrose, Andrews, Kennedy and Fruit.

ex Magistrate Durham, Representative Walter Merrick, of Tioga, and Ser feant at Arms Harrab, at the residence of iieut.Qov. Lyon, with whom he spent the night. Secretary of the Commonwealth Reeder called after the dinner party separated and had a long conference with Senator Quay. Senator Quay is of the opinion that an equitable apportionment cannot now be made owing to the shifting of population since the last decennial census, when the redisricting of the State should have been done. Five years have elapsed since the last census and twice the Legislature has passed apportionment bills which were vetoed.

He is therefore of the opinion that there is no constitutional obligation resting upon this Legislature. He is quite well satisfied with the situation as he finds it here and does not think it necessary to further outline his position or to enter into any conflict with those who may be opposed to his view of the matter. The moBt novel and fascinating bill thus far presented to the Legislature is House bill No. 333, which sprung into existence in the House Committee on Appropriations. Its author is Mr.

Fow, the bright representative from the Seventeenth Philadelphia District, and the proposed measure provides for the assembling of the members of the Appropriation Committee at the popular legislator's residence in that city to morrow evening at 5 o'clock, there to make proper disposition of certain articles of food and drink said to be upon the premises. It will be the most notable gathering which Mr. Fow has had in band for some years, as many prominent Philadelphians will also be present, including the officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Mr. Fow 's legislative dinners are now an established institution.

It is expected that the apportionment bills will be called up this afternoon and defeated. It ia also expected that the intermediate court bill will be called up and paesed, albeit there is still opposition to it. Senator Qiay called on Gov. Hastings to day and had an interview with him lasting some time. It is certain they did not agree on the apportionment question.

Senator Andrews will not be chairman of the Republican State Committee, but Deputy Attorney General John P. Elkin may be. KHIGHTS OF MACCABEES. A New Order Organized in the City Last Night. A tent of Maccabees was organised at I.

So Saya President Hood to Waynesboro Petitioners. In answer to a petition signed by 200 people of Waynesboro, asking the Western Maryland to extend the train service on the Baltimore Cumberland Valley through from Shippensburg to Cherry Run and return, in order to avoid transfer and delay at Hagerstown, Col.

Others stood at the open windows and yelled their responses to the roll call, while many more tried to keeD cool under the trees in the park. When the bill appropriating $10,000 for the removal of the Eastern Penitentiary came up on final passage, Mr. Conrade, of Philadelphia, made a brief speech, in which he charged that it was a scheme of landgrabbere.

PATTISOH'S CHARGES IMPROVING. The Ex Governor and the Postmaster Ueneralshlp. Philadelphia Ledger. Iu a few days there may be developments which will definitely decide whether or not ex Gov. Pattison la to be made Postmaster General.

As the matter now stands, from what can be learned locally, Mr. Pattison is in a very favorable light before the President's eyes, and when the successor to Mr. Wilson is to be chosen, provided he is moved up to the position of Secretary of State, it is thocght the President will not "look over Pattison 's head." An unusually well informed Democrat, speaking on the subject yesterday, said: "It has more significance than appears on the surface. All this talk about Cleveland arranging his fences for a third term is preposterous. Any man who knows Mr.

Cleveland accurately is fully aware of this. He would probably be the first to protest aeainst the election of any man for a third time to the highest office within the gift of the American people. 'However, Mr. Cleveland is, in most respects, as staunch a partisan as ever sat in the White House, and he knows that now is the time to get things in readiness for '96. A dark horse is always possible, but it is the nun for whom delegates have been set up' who is tolerably sure to get there in the National Convention.

"Mr. Cleveland has always manifested a sincere and steady admiration for Mr. Pattison, and has, more than once, shown an exceptional degree of trust in him," General Cameron and Uls Friend. Mr. Dana In the New York San.

Mc Clure la McOlure's Magazine. This reminds ns of a little story, the humor of which, we trust, will excuse our telling it here and now. Gen. Cameron used to give every year, in the month of Jane, a dinner at his country houEe in Lancaster county, at which thirty or forty statesmen. Congressmen, judges, newspaper men, farmers and politicians would be assembled.

It was el ways a delightful occasion, and every one wno was mviiea was sore to go. me last of these dinners, we believe, was in 1888, and the main body of the guests had not yet begun to arrive. We were sitting with him at about noon in the shade outside of the front door, and, looking down the avenue, we saw coming np the distinguished figure of the gentleman who wrote the article from which our text is taken. Knowing their earlier relations we turned to the old hero in some surprise: "General, have you forgiven them all?" "Yes," was the answer, "every damned one of 'em." C. It.
