Notwithstanding the Inclement weather this morning, a large number of eager learners assembled at the court house at 8 a m. to have an Informal talk with Col. Parker on the manner of meeting and rectifying the evils encountered daily. The gentleman claims that the only true way to teach child is to give ideas, by presenting the natural objects leave, plant, roots, flowers, animalsnot flat form; the mere giving of words is moit heartily condemned. Questions were answered and solicited.

The hour passed all too rapidly for the interested ones, and 9 o'clock called the Institute together. Prayer and reading, led by Rev. Philips, and all singing "Chide Mlldlv the Erring." when Mr. Meyer read a paper entlttled "Educational Follies." The paper was quite lengthy. Superintendent Lucky gave a good reneral talk on what be had seen in Cleveland, and then proceeded to tell how tho different subjects were conducted in tho school room.

Geography, arithmetic, immmir and hUtory in ex plaining and answering all queries, suggesting many bints and helps that will benefit all who desire to improve. The superintendent advocates the visiting of schools by teachers so as to become acquainted with their ideas. Next tho visiting cf parents was a subject of discussion, showing the good accruing from such practice; it arouses a spirit of pride in children, and Interests parents in the wellfare of both pupil and instructor; establishes a better feeling all round. Music was next taken up and was advocated warmly. Mrs.

Uoardman gave a talk on elocution and oratory and then followed a election entitled "Kind Words can Never Die." Dr. Flnley gave a short talk on Institute work. There is a science of educa tion, there are fixed principles underlying It We need much of the Divine spirit to produce this broad culture in education. That training is best for a man which develops all bis capabilities. They are not always the best educators whose children make the most progress.

It Is not bow much a child knows but how much ho grows, that is true education. Blnco the days of Horace Mann the schools have been so lauded that the public has grown to regard public schools as the panacea of all evils, and the home teaching Is but secondary. This is a fallacious idea. Nothing can supersede the influence of the home circle. He that can make thinkers or bis pupils is a king among teachers.

All right education is essentially religious. Heart culture is me rest want of tho day; there is a higher nowledge than sense elements; with the heart man believes unto righteousness. The heart Is tho fountain from which Issues all influences ol life if pure, all thoughts will be pure and bright. Prof. Little gave a very pleasant drawing lesson, many of the teachers following his designs wheat, apple and leaf, basket of potatoes, turnip at the same time giving many valuable hints in regard to pencil holding and general work.

Col. Parker followed with a last talk. Before beginning the speaker asked those who desired to leave to go at once, as be disliked the habit of going out while a talker was discoursing. The progress that education has made in the last fifty years Is wonderful. The Institutes of Pennsylvania were spoken of as tho best known, but the one thing lacking Is a want or more sociability.

We receive more ideas from social mingling than from listening to the best instructors. In this meeting we give thoughts and receive In return. The speaker claimed that the public schools are the first and great factor in the world. Private schools are only good in that will be their own destruction, or if retained will eventually be vonly reformatories. The sectarian school la conducive of sectarianism only.

Lore makes the world go round, and if there was more love shown little children there would be no need of pity for unfortunate men. An examination is a test of good work, but the main question is the kind and how Every examination should test genulno work it is a test of growth of character. Every faculty should be tried; the school takes the whole boy and should test the whole character. It would be Impossibe to give a full and comprehensive report of this grand talk. Col.

Parker is a thorough, whole souled, genuine teacher. Superintendent M'Neal read a report from the troasurer of the La Ross monu ment fund, announcing that he had received 1108 34, which had been expended in the erection of a monument in Hum melstown cemetery. The report was received and the committee discharged. Superintendent M'Neal appointed L. K.

Jletolved, That our thanks are duo Superintendents M'Neal and Foose for their untiring efforts in promoting the ucccis of the Institute, and that we es press our approve! of their supervision of tho educational affairs of the county and city.

What OUR ANTIQUARIANS. the Historical Society Did at Its Mooting Lut Nignc The Dauphin County Historical Society held its monthly meeting last evening, in their room in the court house, President Hamilton in the chair. There was quite a full meeting and much in terest taken in the proceedings. Donations were received from Hon.

Alexander Ramsey, of Minnesota; Hon. Franklin Bound, member of Con fress from this district, and the Virginia istorical Society. The contributions to the library from Governor Ramsey were of special value, and a portion of Mr. Newson's "Reminiscenses or early Letters of St. Paul," relating to our old friend, was of delightful tenor, as the members of the society heard it read.

As one gentleman remarked, it was a truthful picture of that excellant man, whom Harriabnrffers claim as their old time fellow citizen. Mr. Parthemore read an article prepared by a member of the society relating to the formation of the county of Frank Dr. Egle read a paper giving a biographical account of some of the early residents in the "Upper End." The Hon. Alexander Ramsey was unanimously elected an honorary member of the society.

An inquiry was made as to the origin of the name Highspire. Various reasons were given, but none satisfactory to the members of the society. Highspire, it will be remembered, was laid out by citizens of Marietta, and the old statement that it was named for Spires in Germany is not correct. KILLED AT MIDDLETOWN. A Young Lady Crashed Under an Accommodation Miss Mame Embick, aged between seventeen and eighteen years, daughter of the high constable of Middletown, was instantly killed at a railroad crossing in that place.

She had been attending a revival service in company with a younger sister and about 9 o'clock started homeward. They were compelled to cross the railroad tracks and when they reached the latter a freight train was passing. Miss Embick' younger sister and a gentleman stood on an embankment above the railroad while the victim of the accident walked to the side of the track. When the freight train had passed she stepped forward and was struck by the Middletown accommoda tion, failing to hear the shouts of her companions, who had seen the approach ine danger from their elevated position. Miss Embick was instantly killed, the body being horribly mangled.

An inquest was held by Coroner Shindler A Lightning Change Artist. The Hummelstown Sun jells the following incident as happening at the Reading depot in Harrisburg A young couple from down the Lebanon Valley, who were recently married in grand style, and who are in good financial circumstances, returned from an extensive wed ding tour and when they arrived at Harrisburg, from all appearances the bride wanted to change her wedding dresa or traveling dress lor one more suitable to the rainy occasion. The groom, with high tUk hat and Prince Albert coat, subsequently came along with the trunk on his back and deposited it in the ladies' room of the Reading depot, where the young wife entered and shortly afterwards emerged with an outward change of dress. We heartily enjoyed the joke with a dozen others around the depot, and thought a room at one of the hotels would have been a more fitting place to dresB. All the Name they Did, Millersburg Herald, The Harrisburg press perpetrated an ugly libel on the teachers of the county by charging them with trving to candy with science.

Kirk, and The "Telegraph'" Oldest Subscriber. The Halifax correspondent of the Millersburg Sentinel has discovered the oldest subscriber to the Harrisburg Tele graph. He says: "Leonard Clemson has been a subscriber to the Harrisburg Weekly Tele graph since 1830, not breaking off since that time. He first paid $2 59 per annum when it was only a single shee; for some years ho has paid only one dollar and receives a double sheet." It is Just fifty years since Mr. Clemson began to read the Telegraph, and we sincerely hope he may live to read it for fifty years longer.

He is a useful citizen, a man esteemed among his neighbors, and his upright walk should be emulated by ail. They Didn't Want a Drink. Last evening three teachers in attendance at the County Institute thought they would like to have a drink of something to take the chill off before retiring, but they didn't care to be seen by the other teachers at the hotel. They strolled out and entered another hotel, very quietly, as they thought, and headed for the bar, when they ran plump into a dozen teachers who were sitting around smoking. They stopped, looked around in a dazed sort of way, and then one of them, looking up at the electric light, said "Yes, they are beautiful lights," and the trio went out.

They didn't want a drink. Not Likely to Resign. A rumor has been current during the last day or two that Rev. George S. Chambers, pastor of the Pine Street Presbyterian church, was contemplating resigning his charge, owing to impaired health.

A prominent member of the church was seen this afternoon and docs not believe there is the remotest foundation for the rumor. Ho said a letter was read from the pastor at prayer meeting Wednesday evening in which he re gretted his compulsory absence and expressing the hope that he would soon be with his people again. A Mad Commercial Tourist. A drummer was at police headauarters this morning in a very bad humor. lie had been brought there by an officer of the Pennsylvania railroad company, who charged that he had refused to pay his faro from Sunbury to Harrisburg.

Alderman Kinncard, acting Mayor, dismissed the Mozart Concert Tuesday Kvenlng.

Her Funeral To morrow Tho little girl, Ella Bowers, who was burned to death, will be buried to row at Jonestown.

Services will bo held this evening at the residence of her parents on Hummel street at 7 o'clock The long, lean man was Senator Don Cameron, and the short, fat man General Sheridan, and they were starting on a ten days' campaign through Virginia, fully armed against quails, partridges, bears, coons, snakes and other wild beasts which are supposed to haunt the Old Dominion. They sleep to night at Fairfax Courthouse. After doing the battlefield of Bull Run to day, to morrow tbey go to Centerville, then to Piedmont, and by way of Fort Royal to the Luray Caves, thence to Strasburg, where the Generel will visit the battlefield of Cedar Creek for the first time since 1864. Here he will make his headquarters while he visits all the battlefields and scenes of his raids and camps during the war. He will go thence to the historic town of Winches ter, and from there home, renewing his acquaintance with the people.

Since he started from Strasburg to join General Grant before Richmond and fight the battle of Five Forks, he has not been in that part of Virginia, and he told me that he expected more genuine satisfaction from the trip than from any he ever made in his life. He has a great curiosity to discover what the people of the Shenandoah Valley think of him and how they will treat him twenty two years after he raided their country with his troopers. He has met from time to time a good many people from the valley, some of whom were there during the war, and they were all cordial in their invitation for him to come and visit them. Senator Don Cameron and General Phil Sheridan arrived at Luray last night on a pleasure trip, and registered at the inn for the night. Senator Cameron made some inquiries of Mr.

G. K. Mullin, the proprietor, regarding the game region, and the two distinguished guests will probably have some gunning before returning to Washington. Hummelstown "sun" Beams.

The animal suffered excruciating pain until Monday night, when death relieved him. The horse was worth $200. A Box of Cash. Nightly the audiences at the People's Theater are increasing, the merit of the performance being the only attraction. Steadily tho company playing "A Box of Cash" has won its way into popular favor, and the audience last evening was delighted.

The comedy is extremely laughable and as it partakes of the character of "Peck's Bad Boy" and kindred plays it has many funny situations. Dismissed the Prisoner. Ed. Kramer, who said he was from Chambersburg, was arrested last night on a charge of robbing a companion named George Reep of $50. They had been drinking some and Reep claimed in the evening that $50 had been extracted from his pocket.

The Metronome.

The Metronome parlor orchestra, which has furnished delightful music in the evening at the Teachers' Institute, deserves congratulation on its efficiency. 'ine members are youths who have taken up music from a natural love of it, and under the leadership of Will Froelich they have acquired a knowledge that renders their performances very pleasing. Opening of Thirteenth Street. Work was began yesterday on the opening of Thirteenth street, from Derry KEYSTONE HAPPENINGS. DISASTROUS EXPLOSION IN PHILADELPHIA FACTORY.

One Employe Killed and a Number Severely Burned Dynamite Bombs Fastened to a Railway Train mormon Missionaries at Work In Pennsylvania Other News. SHOCKING EXPLOSION. One Person Killed and Many Injured. Philadelphia, Nov. 11.

An explosion occurred this afternoon in the dust drum attached to the cigar box factory of Henrv H. SheiD Randolph street, above Columbia avenue, followed by a fire, in which Carrie Brunner, twenty seven years old, one of the female employes, lost her life, and fifteen other employes, male and female, were more or less severely burned, though their inju ries are not considered dangerous. One hundred and fifty persons were employed in the building, which was a three story brick structure. The employes narrowly escaped with their lives down a stairway away from that portion of the building where the fire broke out. The structure was nearly demolished.

The loss on the building and contents is esiimated at $15,000, covered by insurance. Tully's livery stable, adjoining, suffered the loss of three carriages and a number of sleighs, and Creswell's stable, No. 1715 North Sixth street, was damaged about $1,700. These losses are believed to be also insured. Tho origin of the sad affair is unknown, but the most probable theory advanced is that fire was communicated to the shaving box by back draft from the fur naces, causing the fine wood dust which it contained to explode for the reason that the gases generated by their consumption were confined by the brick walls enclosing the box and the iron doors placed on the top to exclude the rain.

a DYNAMITE UNDER A TRAIN. Narrow Escape or Numerous Passengers Pittslurg, Nov. 11. When the mail train north on the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg railroad arrived at Dubois, to day, the car inspector, while passengers were getting on and off the cars at the depot, discovered three dynamite bombs and caps fastened under the springs of the rear coach. The bombs were carefully removed, and there were many pale iaces among the passengers when they learned the terrible fate they had so narrowly escaped.

The train starts from Punxsutawney every morning, and it is undoubtedly at that place that the bombs were placed under the springs, as it only makes short stops between there and Dubois. It is twenty miles from the place of starting, and how it was possible for a train to run that distance over short curves with that amount of dynamite and caps under the springs of a coach is a mystery. Thirty four persons were in the coach. The matter will be investigated. MORMON MISSIONARIES AT WORK.

Residents of a Pennsylvania Village "Converted." Pittsburg, Nov. 11. A little village on the Monongahela river, in Western Pennsylvania, known as New England, was visited a few months ago by two or three Mormon proselytizers, who have since "converted" about twenty of the inhabitants and thefr families. Seventeen of the converts will leave for Utah in a few days, and the rest intend to follow as soon as they can dispose of their little properties.

Mr. Editor Telegraph: It is stated in Wednesday's dailies that the "Superintendent of Indian Schools" not only snggests that the education of this race be confined to the "rudiments of an English education," but thinks that the schools at Hampton and Carlisle can be "closed without detriment to the cause of Indian education." Tho work that has been accomplished at these two places speaks for itself. The proportion of students who have gone out from these schools with minds well disciplined, hearts broadened and ennobled by Christian principles, and hands skilled to perform labor In the best manner, is as great as from any institution of a similar character established for white students. After years of labor, and with great personal sacrifice, Captain Pratt and Colonel Armstrong have proved to the world that the Indian is capable of receiving the highest forms of education, and able to perform the most skilled labor. Is it for these benefits to the race and to humanity, in that it is proposed to close their schools, deprive their pupils of the means of acquiring a knowledge of manual labor, and confine them to the "rudiments of an English education The reason given for not teaching the Indian agriculture is that "the agriculture of Virginia and Pennsylvania are so vastly different from that of Dakota and Arizona." We doubt not there are differences in the agriculture of New York and England, yet English gardernera are brought to this State and any knowledgo gained from their modes and methods gladly welcomed.

The agriculture of Germany, it may be, "is vastly different from that of Pennsylvania," but the culture and crops of many of its plains and alleys prove what the German farmers nave done tor tne oiaio. This is an ago when the best education and the best manual labor are sought and welcomed everywhere. Why are Dakota and Arizona exceptions to this ruleT There are immense sums of money expended uunually in our land to enable the pooreRt and most degraded to receive the best mental and manual education. There must be some special reason why Dakota and Arizona should bo debarred what are justly considered the highest privilege of modern civilization, a. w.

TUB KNIGHTS POLITICS.

A Thorough Political Organisation In tended. Washington, Nov. 11. A leading Knight of Labor, who was a member of one of the most prominent committees at the Richmond convention, says: "The Knights are determined to effect a thorough organization for political purposes. They will have ample time to show to the people of the United States that their objects are all legitimate and constitutional, and can be accomplished by simple legislation.

They also propose to show to the people that the bugaboo of Anarchism cannot apply to them. The Anarchists themselves will be the first to cut loose from the labor movement. The organization will bo simply for the purpose of effecting necessary reforms in the labor system and the regulation of the relations between capital and labor. A platform which shall cover a few points will be all that will be necessary, and tho organization does not propose to encumber It with unnecessary issues. They will avoid any matters that might create dissensions in their own ranks, and in this special reference is made to the tariff.

c. POSTMASTER HARRITTTI MUDDL An Investigation br tho Civil vomnusma Decided oa. Washington, Nov. 11. The charges against Postmaster Harrity, of Pbiladel Ehia.

were formally considered by the ivil Service Commission this morning. The result announced was that the Commission would go to Philadelphia and that the investigation wonld be commenced as soon as possible. Commissioners Oberly and Lyman were In favor of the investi gation, and Commissioner Edgerton was against it. Mr. Oberly thought the number of complaints indicated trouble somewhere, and he was anxious to give th? people the benefit of an investigation which would either prove them or show them to be untrue.

Mr. Lyman thought the investigation had become necessary, and that it should be held at once. 'The fact that Mr. Harrity has removed a large number of his emnlnvM and. aa alleged, replaced them with Democrats," Mr.

Edgerton said, "is a thing with which the Commission has nothing to do. Mr. Harrity has a perfect right to make all the removals he chooses. The charges that many of the new appointees are Catholics and that the appointments have been distributed among the various wards of the city are not matters that require any notice by the Commission so long as the men appointed were selected in the proper way from the lists certified to the postmaster by the examiners. The charge that certain persons secured nosaeasinn nf examination papers, be said, was made by the same association last July, and the Commission informed the commitiM ant here to file the charges at that time that it was too vague to warrant action."
