1 Gossip's I ooiumn. SaCsaatamaafi. 'It is strange to me," said the Man, "how so many good actors die paresis. Yesterday we of the death of 'Old Hoss' Hoey, one of the brightest men on the American stage, the creator of the tramp character, and an actor universally beloved. No man in this country made more people laugh than Hoey, and his tramp was a revelation.

There have been many imitators of Hoey, but none were half so good, and none have had his originality. "When I last saw him, about a year ago, he seemed in the full vigor of his mental powers, and he was as funny as ever and full of original new things. Then there was William J. Seanlon, the Irish comedian, the author of 'Peek a Boo' and many other songs. He was one of the cleverest men I ever saw on the stage.

A breezy, cheery, good natured fellow without an enemy iu the world. He could sing his way into a heart of stone with that smooth voice of his. He, too, went the way of the paretic, and his death so far as he was dead to the world was a very sad one. Seanlon was a vaudeville artist and worked his way up to the top of the ladder as a star in Irish comedy. Another bright particular star was George S.

Knight, the famous German conitdian. Quiet and natural, I do nut rhiik his superior as a German comedian Las ever appeared on the American stage, except it be Joseph Einnietr, and he became famous because he was the first to do the German star business. Gccrgc S. Knight was a Harrisburg boy, born and raised here until he was quite a boy. His real name was George Sloan and a3 3 boy he enjoyed all the fun that xlarrisburg boy of to day enjoys.

Knight went on the stage as an amateur, made a hit in a play in New York 'Around the Clock' I think it was attracted the attention of the manager, and he was soon doing a turn such as was funny in the old days, like 'Kaiser, Don't You Wan't to Buy a or something of that sort. He met with reverses as a star, after having made a fortune, and died of paresis. All of those I have men tioned have made the world brighter and better for having lived in it. But what an awful taking off. The longest session, of the Legislature ever before held under the Constitution of 1873 was when an adjournment was had on June 9th.

In 1883 the regular session lasted from January 2d to June Cth, but Governor Pattison at once called tie Legislature into extra session which lasted from June 7th to December 6th. In those days the pay of a member of the Legislature was ten dollars a day, no matter how long the session lasted, and all through the long summer of 1883, and it was an awfully hot summer, too, the Legislature would meet for five minutes each day and then adjourn until the next day. Senate and House were hopelessly dead locked on apportionment matters, and neither would give an inch. The House was Democratic and the Senate Republican, and along about the beginning of the extra session the Senate, through a committee headed by the present Judge Longenecker. of Bedford, drew up apportionment bills, sent them to the House with the message "Here, gentlemen, is our ultimatum; accept it or there will be no apportionment bills this year." The House refused to accept, as the Senate refused to accept bills prepared by the House, and finally, everybody thoroughly disgusted final adjournment came on December 6th, amidst a snow storm, thus carrying out Judge (then Senator Gordon's threat that Governor Pattison would keep the Legislature in session until snow flies, if necessary, but he would have apportionment bills.

The snow flew, but there was no apportionment. The Psalm of Life. Life is like a game of dice; Yon shake Ibe little cup And 3nda bnneh of sixes or Find only deuces up. Cleveland Leader PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Brief Mention of the Movrmrnli of Yoar FrleniU and Acquaintance.

It is now certain that the race meet next Saturday and Monday will be an immense success from every point of view. There are enough good men already entered to satisfy the most enthusiastic cycler, and the Harrisburg Wheel Club is about to enter many more whose names will not le published until there is a certainty of their final entry.

The men referred to in yesterday's "Telegraph" as having leen entered from Philadelphia are C. C. Fulton and John L. Fagan. To those who are versed in cycling matters comment of the records of these men is unnecessary and would be suiK rHuous, but to those who do not keep aeedunt of such matters or tax their mem ory with the names or identity of the men that make wheeling events famous, it may be sad that Fulton and Fagan will not allow any racer, no matter who or where ne comes from, to fall asleen on the track or to forget he has opponents in the race.

The men who will enter as unknown are from Allentown. and their wonderful abilities on the wheel have been authoritatively confirmed. It is now understood that there is some probability of A. G. Stewart entering, permission to have him do so having been secured from the League by the wbeel club.

C'lark lliehl. Fire Chief Garver ich, Charles Ivinter and Mr. Friedel berg. A. thorough examination of the flooring was made and the committee found that the electric wires passing along the joist on the second story were dead and not responsible for the fire.

No electricity is used on the first floor of the building, except at the entrance to the nail, mere was nothing in tne testimony to show that there had been any fire in the building this year, the hall and build ing being heated by steam. A gas stove used during entertainments. Subse quently the committee reconvened on the ITJth at the hall, and alter hearing the tes timony of several experts on electricity. including Messrs. Diehl, Jones and F.

L. Davis, arrived at the conclusion that it was impossible to say what was the real cause of the hre. tTom the indications it might have started from' the electric light wires, but there is no proof of it. SOUTH II ARRISBCRU OUTRAGE. Another Woman Jmmpi Vroa Second story winnow.

On Monday night an outrage similar to the Cameron street affair, in which a wo man fearing for her life leaped from a second story window, occurred in South Harrisburg. It was the same old story of a husband ccniing home intoxicated and beating his wile. The man is kind and considerate when sober, but very brutal when drunk. and although he was but slightly intoxi cated or. Monday night, he choked and beat his wife, nulled her hair and threat ened to cut her throat with a razor untu she became crazed with fear and jumped from the second story window.

In leap ing from the window she struck against the frame of the door, severely bruising one side of her face and landed on the steps with such force as to break the boards. She quickly arose and ran into a neighbor's house, where she spent the remainder of the night. There will be no action taken against the man. Hay Making on the Ttang Farim. Haymaking on the Young farms, at Middletown, is on in full Thirty men are at work.

Over 80 acres of grass have been cut and from it 200 loads of hay were hauled. Four horse rakes are engaged in raking the hay and six teams in hauling it to the huge barns. Five mowers are at work cutting grass in a field of 10. acres, the hay of which will be hauled to the large hay barn at Youngs port. The crop is considered fair, but not as good as some years on account of the open winter whereby a great deal of the grass was frozen out.

The, wheat crop looks promising and it will hurry the men to have the bay all away until the grain is ready to cut. Getting Ready for Camp. A large number of tents and a quantity of camp material are being shipped from the State Arsenal this city to Mt. Gret na and the other sites of National Guard encampments.

ELEGANT FAVORS FOR THE GUESTS Governor Hastings entertained the legislative corps of newspaper men at dinner last night at the Executive Mansion. It was a handsome and unusual compliment bestowed upon a body of workers who appreciate thoroughly the splendid hospitality of one who has been uniformly courteous and kind in his treatment of those whose duties are frequently onerous and difficult.

The Governor has always been a friend of the newspapermen and they have been hi friends. Throughout his whole public career he has recognized the dignity of the newspaper profession and his frankness and confidence hi dealing with the representatives of the press has been one of the secrets of their high regard for him. In responding to a toast last night Cfovernor Hastings referred to his acquaintance with newspapermen and paid a tribute to their honesty aud honor in dealing with public men. He said he had made it a rule to speak plainly 'to his newspaier friends and while he had frequently given official information in advance for their guidance he had never been betiayed. Iu this connection he sioke of an attempt at the time of his inauguration two years ago by a Belle fonte corresiHindeut to sell his inaugural address to the newspapers of the State, the addresw having been surreptitiously obtained from the printer to whom it had been entrusted.

The Governor was glad to say that notwithstanding this address had been offered to various newspapers 111 the State, not one of them had accept ed it, and the man who thus sought to be tray a trust did not receive one cent for his perfidy; but coining to Harrisburg, the li.xectitive had given copies ot the document to the resident representatives ot the great news associations anil through them it was supplied to all the newspapers of the State. Governor Has tings mentioned many instances of the honor of newspapermen that came under his personal observation in his official career and dwelt upon the tremendous power of the press for good or evil. He counseled his younger newspaper friends to emulate the highest ideals 111 their chosen profession and to elevate in every way the chosen standard of newspaper work. After the first course of the sumptuous dinner, Colonel George Nox McCain, of the Philadelphia Press, governor of the legislative Correspondents Association. was requested by Governor Hastings to preside, after inviting his guests to make themselves perfectly at home and to feel for one evening at least they were absolute owners of the Executive Mansion.

There were speeches and songs, and when the health of General Frank Boeder, Secretary of the Common wealth, tfd Mr. Lewis E. Beitler. private secretary of the Governor, who were the only guests not newspaer men, was proposed. tne gentlemen responded with gracetui speeches in which they further compli mented the gentlemen of the press.

hen the guests arrived they were re ceived iu the parlor by Governor and Mrs. Hastings, General and Mrs. Reeder and Private Secretary and Mrs. Beitler. Uiirmg the dinner, which was served in the handsomely decorated dining room, an orchestra stationed 111 aw alcove 111 the rear played sweet music.

The table was a dream 111 decoration, the prevailing color being red. A large plateau of flowers, in which twinkled myriad electric lights with red shades, divided the table lengthwise. Iu the centre of this was a pyramid of elegant cut glass, surmounted by a large ltowl filled with lilies and flanked on either side by rich candelabra. At each pinto was a boutonniere fastened with a red ribbon and also a handsome favor on which was elegantly engrossed the name of the recipient, the title of his office in the Legislative Correspondents Association ami the coat of arms of the State in gold. 1 aine.

Wol vertn, the able Northumberland county lawyer. Mr. Wolverton had business in the Attorney General's Department and with the Executive. He also took time enough to go into Grace Church to look upon the Legislature, in which body he was a leading member for ten years, succeeding the late Hon. Andrew II.

Dill, of Lewisburg, as Senator. Mr. Wolverton since his retirement from the Senate has been a member of Congress, where he gained national repute by his eminent services upon the Judiciary General Committee by a revision and a condensation of the Federal acts relating to capital punishment. He was warmly greeted in the Senate chamber, where his was the most familiar figure in the days when Black and Wallace, Ross and Cooper, Herr, Reyburn and others constituted some of the personnel of the Pennsylvania Senate. Mr.

Wolverton is engaged in au extensive and lucrative law practice and displays very little disposition to re enter political life. A correspondent says: The "Telegraph" contained an article one evening last week relative to the page boys in the House of Representatives behaving badly in front of the church. All pages should not be included. "We know five or six of the boys who are as gentlemanly and well behaved as anyone could wish for. I have in my mind now a young man, Clyde Hoover, who has won for himself hosts of friends by his refined, quiet manner.

He was in the House but a few days when his excellent habits and qualifications secured for him quite a responsible position among the pages. Cumberland county may well lie proud of the only page it has had for thirty years. We hope this is but a stepping stone to something higher for Clyde. Governor Hastings was to have given a. hearing at the Executive Department this afternoon on the Oraie store order bill, but the opponents of the measure asked a postponement until next week or later.

It was granted. The Hon. Amos Trout, of Westmoreland county, is another member of the House who deserves praise for not missing a roll call this session. Mr. Trout is always at his post of duty, and he always votes right.

Chief Clerk Rex, who is up to snuff on all matters concerning the work of the Legislature, thinks the legislators will be able to finish their work and adjourn finally at noon to morrow. Representative Tipton, of Adams, an artistic photographer from Gettysburg, "took" the newspaer men in a group at the entrance to Grace Church at noon today. C. E. COJiVKNTIOJl MUSIC.

Flinu rose to a question of privilege to deny the reports that he had made a deai with Senator (Juay on the question of leg islation. Mr. Magee made a similar de nial. Mr. Flinn started out by saying that after a bitter factional struggle lastinc two years his faction had been defeated lhe members of the Legislatare froui Allegheny," he continued, "have been treated brutally.

They were put on noth in but inferior committees. We have had no bills in the Legislature because we felt we could not pass them. We have acted with the minority faction, and the story or a aeai is a iaisenood. mere is no necessity for a deal." Mr. Flinn asserted that public senti ment had killed the "Rioner" bill: that it took the united efforts of Senator Quay and the State Chairman of the Democrat ic iwirty to pass this measure on second reading.

The new law, if it receives the approval of the Governor, will read as follows: "An act relating to libel and its punishment: "Section 1 That in all criminal prosecutions or indictments for libel, if the matter charged as libelous is in the opinion of the court proper for public information, the truth may be given in evidence to the jury. "Section 2 In no case can the defendant, in any prosecution for libel be convicted for the printing or publication of the same libel upon the same individual in more than one county of this State. "Section 3 In any civil action for libel, the plea of justification shall be accepted as adequate when it is pleaded by the defendant that the publication substantially true iu every material respect and is proier for public information, and if such a plea shall be established to the satisfaction of the court and jury, there shall be 110 recovery. Iu no civil action for lilel shall damages be awarded le yond just restitution for injury actually sustained. "Section 4 All laws or parts of laws, inconsistent with this act, lie and the same are hereby repealed." The general appropriation bill was taken up on final passage by request of Mr.

Mitchell and was at one jumped upon by a number of Senators who disfov ere 1 that the school appropriation had been cut a million dollars. They not only fought the bill, but they committed the unparalelled act of killing it by a vote of yeas to 26 nays. Then there was trouble. With that bill killed it was no cash for anybody or anything. Finally a motion was made by Mr.

Kauffman to reconsider the vote by which the bill was killed and this was carried. Mr. Kauff maa then succeeded in having the amount restored $11,000,000 and the bill was passed finally. Among the bills passed finally were the following: Relating to borough boards or health: making appropriations to Almia Home. Newcastle: Packer Hos pital, Sayre; Shiffer Leh contest; Home for Friendless.

Harrisburg; South Side Hospital, Pittsburg; Harrisburg Hospital; Children's Industrial Home, Harrisburg, and to about fifty other hospitals, in various parts of the State. lue Senate then adjourned until o'clock. SCENES IN THE HOUSE. General Appropriation Bill does to a conference committceutner natters. These are the closing hours of the Leg slature.

To morrow at noon, unless the present plans of the leaders of the Senate and House miscarry, the legislators will engage in the closing ceremonies. Speak er Boyer will be presented some handsome ut "lasses and there will be other presen tations. It is probable that the House will ba in session all night. all night swssion will be held bv lnith liodies with a short recess at midnight for lunch, which will lie served in the commit tee rooms. There was a full attendance of meinliers when lie Hoiise went in ses sion at 10 clock this, morniifg.

The morning ses sion was given up entirely to passing iqion lulls sent over lroin the Senate. The Senate amendments to the dower were concurred in. When the Krie Peninsula bill came up for concurrence in the Senate it was found that the Senate had made no changes in the measure.

ord to this effect was sent to the Senate ami soon after a message, was received setting matters right and the bill was signed by Speaker Boyer and messaged to he governor. The House refused to incur in the amendments made by the Senate to tht poor directors bill and the bill relating to publication of legal advertising in second c'ass citiesi. It also refused to concur in the amendments to the bill relating to patented lands along navigable streams. Mr. Yoarhees.

of FhUadeliwua. called attention to the manner in which the measure Iliad been emasculated and said the House would stultify itself if it put the measure in the shaini it passed the Senate. rhe appropriation for the Mclveesitort Hospital was increased bv the Senate from $10,000 to but the. House refused to concur in the amendment. The measure will either have to be reconsidered or su'iit to a conference committee.

The Adegheiry members made a hard fiirbt to put the bill as it passed the Senate, but the position from the countrymen was too great to overcome. five House refused to stand the raise made by tho Senate in the exiense bills of the Klections Committee in the Heller Laubach senatorial contest. The changes made in the sreneral nu propriation bill by the Senate were also repudiated. The bill has undergone 11 great change since it left the House and the indications are that there will be a row in that ldy before it is finally passed. Mr.

Smith, of Jefferson, called 110 the conference report on the new libel bill and the reixirt wits adopted by a vote of to 0. The measure now Ms to the Gov ernor. When the bill appropriating $170,000 for buildings and improvements at the Harrisburg State Lunatic Hospital was reached, Mr. Heagy made a strong speech in support of the bill ami showing the necessity for the appropriation. But notwithstanding Mr.

Hengy's appeal, the bill went down. Mr. Heagy also made an. apienl for the Senate increase of $3, OOO for the Harrisburg Hospital, but the House refused to concur. The Senate amendmen's to the general appropriation bill were non concurred in and a conference i ommit tee will now wrestle with the omnibus measure.

Among the interesting it mis in the bill are the following: For expenses of col lt ciiiiK N.ni'isiics 01 manufacturing establishments in Pennsylvania. for contingent expenses of Bureau of amies and l.lKKI; for special ex amiiiation into quantity of timber stand ing in the Stare and into diseases destrov. ing growing timlsT. to Live Stock Sanitary Board for investigating diseases of domestic animals. for ex cnscs of Hairy ami Food Commissioner.

Turnlay At ernoou aud At: the sssioii of tin Senate hist even ing Mr. OslnMirii introduiiil a resolution instructing the Appropriations Committee to insert an item in the general ap propriation bill, providing that money appropriated to public schools only snch niscs where the school districts raise at least an equal amount of money for school puriKises for the respective dis tricts. Mr.

OslMiurn hacked up his resolution by some data he rtccived from Su IH'nntciidont of 1 nblic Instruction Schaefler. The speaker stated that there were 2.471 school districts in this State, ami oi i ins nuuuier ine Mate appropna tions exceed the amount of local taxation in r.t4 districts. Of iork county's six ty tive districts thirty seven do not pav as much as the State gives tbein," said Mr. OslMjnrn. "All of Fulton's twelve districts are in this class, and seventeen ot Snyder eighteen districts don't pay as much as they receive from the State.

And Bo it is in many other Counties of the State." The resolution was then de feated by a vote of 23 to 15. In the House yesterday afternoon Sen ate amendments to the bill increasing irom eight to ten mills the stock of banks and savings institutions were taken up by the House and non concurred in. The Senate tacked on to the bill clauses increasing the tax on the gross premiums of foreign insurance companies from two to tour mills; authorizing the incorporation of distilling companies, taxing them ten mills on their capital stock, and taxing express companies. The several bills of the Sergeant at Arms of the House were saved from defeat by the insertion, of this proviso: "That it shall not be lawful for the Auditor General to approve nor the State Treasurer to pay any bills or parts thereof for extra car fare, carriage hire, sleep ing births, telegrams, telephone charges ana otner expenses until after a duly sworn and fully itemized statement of ex penses actually incurred shall have been duly filed with the Auditor General, and such sworn statement shall lie accom panied with vouchers covering every item of expenditure." The vote by which the expense bill of the committee to investigate the insur ance scandal was defeated was reconsid ered and the bill passed finally. The bills to provide for a State hos pital for the homeopathic treatment of the insane, and appropriating $80O to pay the expenses of investigating the l.apitoi nre, were defeated, but the latter bill was subsequently passed.

The civil service bill was discussed at length and overwhelmingly defeated. CROP AND WEATHER REPORT. Conditions Generally Favorable Over lhe Coanlry for Grain. Washington. June 30.

The Department of Agriculture weekly crop bulletin for the week ended June 28th says in part: "While somewhat too cool for the best results over the more northerly districts, with excessive heat in the southern States, the week has, upon the whole, been favorable for the growth and cultivation of crops and harvesting of grain. Local storms have caused injury to crops in portions of New Jersey. Alabama. Kentucky and Missouri, but the damage has been comparatively light. Portions of the Ohio Valley, Gulf States, western Kansas and Colorado are needing rain.

"Cotton has made rapid growth in Oklahoma and Texas, and a general improvement is reiKirted elsewrere. In the central and eastern portions of the cotton belt, however, the reports generally indicate that the plant is small and backward. A general rain is much needed over the central and northern portions of the cotton belt. "Corn has made further improvement during the week in the principal corn States, having made rapid growth in Illinois. Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma.

In the more northerly sections the crop has generally improved, but continues backward. In the southern States the general outlook is less favorable than previously reported, having leen damaged by hot winds iu Texas and by drought in Arkansas and in the east Gulf States. Rains have retarded cultivation in por tions of Iowa. wjire the crop has made fair growth, but its condition and the stand are variable. "Winter wheat harvest has continued under generally favorable conditions.

East of the Mississippi harvesting is now in progress as far north as the southern portions of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, and the crop is maturing rapidly in the more northerly sections. Some damage 'has been done by the excessive rains to wheat in shock in Missouri. Harvesting in California has been somewhat retard ed, by cool weather and showers over the northern part of the State. Rains in Ore gon and Washington have been benefi cial. Spring wheat has generally made favorable progress.

The early sown is heading, and the reKrts generally indi cate that the straw is short. "Tobacco is more promising than previously reported in Virginia, Tennessee ami Kentucky, and the crop is growing nicely in Indiana and Maryland. Some has been cut in Florida, and it is ripen ing in South Carolina. In Georgia and New York it is suffering from drought. IN POLICE CIRCLES.

1 he engine was totally wrecked. Strange to say the rear sleeper of section No. 4 was not the one to suffer most. It was driven with awful for upon the sec ond sle pT and such was its impetus that it crashed through it as though it had liceu cardboard and reduced it to a mas of wreckage.
