Me. Editor Teleghaph: I am not ac customed to writing letters to editors of newspapers, but I am constrained to voice the protest of many women against the action of Select Council in refusing to permit the East Harrisburg street railway company to extend its lines beyond the railroad. I am not the only woman who has watched with interest the progress of the ordinance, because we have long de sired better and cheaper facilities for reaching the Harrisburg cemetery, where so many of us have loved ones whose resting places it is a gratification to visit. I had no idea the railway extension would be stopped without some good cause, and as a woman I must declare the reasons advanced by certain Council men for opposing the ordinance are too trifling for serious consideration. 1 am aware that there is considerable hue and cry against the East Harrisburg company, but my husband tells me tnat it is tne re sult or interested opposition by persons who are concerned in another street rail way.

Mks. Bulldlne Permits and "Water J'roc Editor Daily Telegraph: Some months ago your reliable and valuable news journal extended an invitation to citizens for suggestions to boom our city. It has occurred to tne writer at tms date to add a plea in behalf of those who con template tne building or a nome or worxs of industry. My subject will be water, an article bestowed to us as a gift, never thelMB sold by the gallon by a corpora tion for such useful and beneficial pur poses as house building. The writer suggestion is not to make a universal distribution of the fluid, for it appears the water works cest some dollars to main tain, but in case an individual or firms purchasing a plot or lot of grouncLhis first outlay is a permit from the city costing two dollars and fifty cents (and the city engineer paid a salary to do the work) his next, a water tax for the erection of a dwelling or factory.

Now a release from these obligations would be an incentive for strangers and our own people to build. Advertise a free permit and water gratis to all erecting houses or factories, and our vacant land will be dotted with dwellings and works of industry. PKO BOUO PITBLIOO.

There are a number of places out in East Harrisburg that need the attention of the sanitary officers at once; places filled with stinking, stagnant water. Some of these places are in the city and some are on property outside, but immediately adjoining the city lines.

At one of these places last evening a good citizen was scattering lime, as he said to a Telegraph reporter, to keep down the stench, as the closets from the neighborhood and dirty water drained into it. And along iserrynm street tnere is a pond, deep, stagnant and foul, into which the filth of the neighborhood drains, and for which there is no outlet until the water rises to a height seldom reached during this, the worst season of the year. These places the sanitary police ought to examine and abate the nuisance, if possible Looking for a location.

186. ESTABLISHED 1831. i 1ST EDITION. All INJURY TO THE CITY. I COUNCILS ON STREET RAILWAYS Ih the Good Old Time of Wild Cat Bank" Bills.

The Lancaster public schools will celebrate Columbus Day, October 21st, with a great jubilee, in which all the schools will participate, the School Board having given the matter its sanction and promising its co operation. Gossip some time ago urged upon the School Board and schools the propriety of doing something of this kind in order to observe this great day. It is a time of year when an open air demonstration can be held. The School Board might take up the matter when it gets through wrestling with the text book question. Even Philadelphia is troubled with corner loafers on its prominent streets.

The other day Mayor Stuart was insulted on Chestnut street by a gang of this kind, and he promptly began a vigorous onslaught on the loafers that has almost led to their eradication. A little of that sort of thing in Harrisburg would be very acceptable. The nuisance is almost unbearable and is constantly growing. Market, from Fourth to the square, and Third, from Locust to Chestnut, are the resorts of the corner loafers, but to order them to move on and keep moving would probably be regarded by them as an insult. The introduction into the Democratic platform of an endorsement of the old State Bank system, under whicn every wild cat' institution between the oceans, and the gulf and lakes issued its own bills, reminds Gossip of a few instances that occurred before the days of National Bank currency.

In the latter part of the 50's a Miss Whitehouse waa the great soprano singer of the north, and after giving a concert at Lewisburg she was compelled to eo around from one store to another in the town to procure New Eng land residence being in Boston, and Pennsylvania money not passing cur rent in the New England States. At that time. too. the Cecil Bank of Maryland, of which Jacob Tome was president, was one of the most popular State banks, if the amount of currency it nad anoat was an indication, and yet a Pennsyl vanian was shaved two dollars and a half when making a payment of $50 with one of these bills. Conductors on the New York railroads would not take Pennsylvania money for fare, and Gossip knows of an instance where a Pennsylvanian got a passage of nearly 100 miles for SI, that being the only New York Hank bill in his possession, the others being Pennsylvania bills of large amount, which the conductor refused to take because he would be compelled to give New York money in exchange, lhe older citizens can be counted among the opponents to this supposed vote getting proposition of our Democratic opponents to reissue wild cat money.

The interests of the citizens ofB wards, whose representatives in Select Council voted against giving the East Harrisburg Passenger railway company the right to extend its lines, have been directly and injuriously affected by such action, and these are the Eighth and Ninth wards. Both these wards have much territory ready for the market, and waiting for purchasers and improvement. Much of the land is admirably adapted for building purposes. It is high above the level of the city, commanding a beautiful view up and down the Susquehanna river, and cooler by many degrees than the strip of ground lying below the hill. It is nearer, too, to the heart of the city than the land east or north of Harrisburg, but it is not available simply because it is difficult of access.

The Mulberry street bridge was built by the city for the purpose of helping the residents and property owners of that section to reach the center of the city without the danger from grade cross ings. The State street bridge was also erected for this purpose, but bridges over 'railroads are not all that is needed. There must be means of conveyance; and this the East Harrisburg Passenger railway company pro posed to furnish if the ordinance was passed. But Select Council, with a lack of wisdom that is most amazing, even on its part, refused to pass it. And what is more amazing still the two rcpresenta tives from these wards, and so directly in terested in their prosperity, aided in its defeat.

Their action certainly does not in dicate a disposition to first regard tne interests of the general public and of their con stituents. What tne company desiring tne ordinance may have done in the past can be no excuse for refusing to grant it permission to extend its lines, lhe city now, under recent decisions of the court, has the power to designate just now tne streets shall be occupied by rail way companies, and the Councils ought to be extremely cautious in this exercise but Councils' action ought not to be prompted by maliciousness, by a disposi tion to injure any citizen, or to depreciate any properties, or to advance the interests of one rival corporation over another. The regulations ought to be reasonable, prudent and with regard for the present and future prosperity of the city. Petty personal vin dictiveness ought not to be an element. Those whom the citizens chose to represent them in Councils ought to be broad minded and liberal, anxious for the prosperity and progress of Our city, and willing at all times to do what they can to secure these ends.

It is respectfully submitted to the gentlemen of Select Council from the Eighth and Ninth wards, whether their votes against the East Harrisburg Passenger railway ordinance were for the best interests of their constituents CAPITOL. HILL. Of the $5,000,000 appropriated for the support of schools in the 2,338 school districts in the State for the year ended the first Monday in June last, $3,835,831 10 have been paid to 1,780 districts. The remainder will soon get their pro rata share. Philadelphia has received her full allotment, amounting to $1,071,790 70.

ADJOURNMENT HEAR. CAOCUS PROGRAMME WORKS WELL The End of Congress Will Come day or To morrow.

HOSE INVESTIGATION. To Washington. Aug. 5. The caucus pro framme has so far worked so well in the louse, and the fair bill has progressed so smoothly, that a number of the leading Democratic managers this morning were predicting a final adjournment to day or to morrow.

There was a good attendance of members before noon, and even that veteran filibuster, Mr. Kilgore, admitted that no obstruction could successfully be interposed to prevent a vote on the Durborow bill this afternoon, and that it would probably pass the Heuse. The sundry civil bill has been enrolled in advance, so that it can be disposed of in a few minutes by the conferees after the fair bill is out of the way. There was some talk this morning to the effect that some Democratic Senators would make the point of no quorum against the fair bill when it comes to the Senate. It is.

difficult to find any foundation for this statement. Probably there, is on quorum in the Senate, but if any such point were made the Republican Senators, unwilling to have the responsibility for the defeat of the fair appropriation shifted from the Democratic House to their shoulders, would, without doubt, sit down in quiet determination and wait until a quorum appeared, meanwhile holding the sundry civil service bill in conference and the adjournment resolution in a pigeon hole in the Appropriation Committee room. Final Adjournment To XIght. Washington, Aug. 5.

The House has taken a recess until 7 o'clock. It is the understanding that final adjournment will be had to night. THE OKLD'S FAIR BILL It Passes the House by a Good Majority. Washington, Aug. 5.

At noon to day the House resumed the consideration of the Duborow World's Fair bill. Mr.Cum mings, of New York, made a bitter speech against the proposition which he characterized as a design to loot the treasury. The World's Fair appropriation had so mixed itself up with the Government that it was difficult to tell which was which. The Government employes overran the floor of the House lobbying in the interest of the bill, and men, women and children from Chicago filled the lobbies and galleries, beseeching the passage of the measure. It was a matter of pride with him that he filibustered against this looting appropriation.

Mr. Fellows, ot New xork, eloquently supported the bill. It was a Govern mental aitair, and should receive Govern ment support. At 1 clock precisely the House began voting on the bill. An amendment ottered by Mr.

De Armon, of Missouri, providing that if the exposition shall deposit at the mint $5,000,000 ot silver bullion it snail oe coined into half dollar pieces, was defeated. The bill was then passed by a vote of 131 to 83. A motio i to reconsider the vote by which the Durborow bill was passed was laid upon the table, after a futile effort to filibuster was made by Mr. Bailey, of Texas. This passes the bill finally in the House.

The Senate Concurs. Washington. Aug. 5 3:35 p. m.

The World's Fair bill has just passed the Senate. The C0SB WAS NOT JAGGED. Congressional Jag Committee AiaKes a iteporc. Washington, Aug. 5.

Representative Boatner has finished his report on the result of the investigation made by a special committee of the House into the charges preferred by Representative Wat i son, of drunkenness, among the members on the noor ot the House. The report declares that the committee has no hesitation in declaring that the charges construed in the sense in which they are made are false and libelous under the strictest legal definition of those terms that the evidence was overwhelming that the charge involving Representative Cobb is contradicted by the witness, and there was nothing in the evidence to justify the imputation made against him. The facts are, the report will say, that three and possibly four members appeared on the floor more or less under the influence of liquor, but none in the condition described in the charges. The committee will report a resolution declaring that the charges made by Mr. Watson are not true, and constitute an unwarranted assault upon the honor and dignity of the Honse, and have the uneqalified disapproval of the House.

Steelton, Aug. 5. Last evening, when the team of the Steelton bottling works was standing on Pine street, one of the horses got foot over the tongue in endeavoring to keep the flies off. Joseph Durnbaugh and a boy named Kinney were left in charge of the wagon while Irwin Durnbaugh, the driver, was taking his supper. Joseph endeavored to right the horse, when the team started down the hill toward Front street.

He jumped into the wagon, seized the lines, but was unable to check the speed the animals had reached. In turning into Front street the wagon struck the iron pump and awnin post in front of Zorger's place, breaking both off. The vehicle was upset and the horses became detached, and went down Front street at a furious rate, but at Walnut street they ran into a standing wagon. throwing the one horse on his side, when the opportunity was seized and the runaways secured. The wagon was not badly damaged, but the horses were pretty badly bruised.

The lad Kinney was found under the wagon without a bruise.

He is prominent in the affairs of Steelton, and has always been an active worker in and supporter of the party.

There is considerable indignation among all classes of Homestead citizens over the transportation of non union men. across the river on the "Little Bill. They say that the boat is chartered by the State for the use of the militia, but its principal use is carrying place seeker across the river, and putting them into the mill free of charge to the firm.

"At present everybody in Pennsylvania is being taxed to pay for the transportation of 1 black and we do not think it fair." Result of th Homestead Strllc. South Bend, Aug. 5.

THE READING COMBINE. It Is Responsible for tne In Coal New Yobk, Aug. 5. The State Senate Committee on the investigation of th Reading coal combine met to day and heard the testimony of J. S.

Smoot, general manager for Thomas Bedford, a coal dealer of this city; R. H. Williams, of the Erie company, and W. H. Sayers, of the Philadelphia and Reading coal and iron iwpauj.

Mr. Smoot teotifiod that hit had noted an advance in the price of coal which his firm bought 'of sixty or eighty cents per ton since last April. Mr. Smoot attributes this state of affairs to the Reading combination, though he thought the advance was a reasonable one since the price of coal was very low considering th cost of its production. Mr.

Williams testified that two meetings were held, at which were present representatives from a dozen railroad and coal producing companies. At these meetings advances of prices for coal wer agreed upon, which on domestic amounted to 75 cents. At the July meeting it waa agreed to advance the price of stove coal 35 cents per ton, egg coal 20 cents and broken coal 15 cents. A further advance of 50 cents a ton on domestic coal would likely be made at the next meeting. Mr.

William admitted that the combine had it in its power to put the price of coal at almost any figure they wanted to, and also to restrict its production if necessary. The testimony of Mr. Sayers was about the same as that of Mr. Williams. The committee adjourned to meet again September 7th.

TOO LATE TO SAVE THE BABY. Easlet Fight a. Duel Over tne Possession of an Infant. Detkoit, Aug. 5.

Two eagles had a duel to the death yesterday near Allis for the possession of" the month old baby of Peter Shaw. Mrs. Shaw had laid the baby down in the grass and retured to the house for a few moments, when an enormous eagle swooped down on the infant and sunk its talons into the little one's flesh and clothing. The mother heard her baby's cries, but came too late to be of service; her shrieks, however, brought the father, who mounted a horse and. armed with, rifle rode to the shore of a near by lake where he knew there was an eagle eyrie in the cliffs.

Shaw arrived just in time to witness a terrible sight, two eagles were hoverinff above a rock, filline the air with their cries and battling for possession of the baby that lay high upon the cliff. Before the father reached the summit one the eagles had fallen dying to the ground, while the ether had again taken up the child for another flight. The father fired, and the bird and baby fell into the water. The frantic father plunged into the lake, caught up the baby, but the little one was dead. He took home the child's body with those of the two eagles.
